Chapter 389

Episode 389: Clean as pure gold (2)

[It would be better to rest here today.]

A tower built in each city for the Suzaku who travel around the front lines and serve. We set foot there. After Suzaku landed on the roof of the tower, he lowered his tail to the terrace, grabbed him, and slowly went down.

“I’ll take it. “You can jump.”

“Your great warrior!”

“Great Daejeonsa Temple. “We too...”

“Are grown-ups pretending to be weak? Come down on your own. “If you are truly Nordean.”

Of course, those who could go down with one jump, like Berserk or me, went down that way.

If I were not careful, I would have fallen dozens of meters, but the terrace was so large that it wasn’t scary. Since there were so many battles in the sky, there was a sense that it was something new.

My legs rested on the railing of the terrace and I looked down.

“...Aren’t you scared of me?”

“very.”

Soon, the three of them, including Deathbringer, Gyemyeong, and Tulgeoji stepped onto the terrace. The girl had already been brought down by Berserk’s hand.

[Has everyone gone down?]

“Yes!”

But if this is the case, how does Suzaku get in?

I looked around the terrace while still stepping on the railing. Although it was large for a typical terrace, the space was infinitely small compared to Suzaku’s body. The doubts became more intense.

[Okay, then I’ll go in too.]

But the next moment, Suzaku’s body began to slowly shrink. It felt like the red mist was being sucked up with a vacuum cleaner.

The heat spreading in the sky was compressed and contracted, taking on one form.

[Wow, this is so frustrating!]

Is this... taking advantage of the fact that fire is a formless energy body?

I roughly guessed the principle by looking at the flame transformed into a human form and the clothes supporting the flame.

I can’t be sure because I’m an outsider, but I think I know that those clothes act like a straitjacket. I can feel Suzaku’s energy being suppressed within him.

[How do you live with this?]

“...You’re having a hard time.”

[Heeing.]

At that point, it wouldn’t be like having your waist tightened with a corset, but rather like being stuffed into a small box.

It’s really hard to do Suzaku in one way or another. My eyes got a little salty.

“Oh what. You can handle an enormous amount of energy. “What is it made of?”

However, there were some among us who had no interest in Suzaku’s feelings. He was a person who started with Ma and ended with Teo.

“If you look at it suddenly appearing, it looks like it is stored in a space behind it and summoned whenever it wants...”

[Huh? Uh... I wouldn’t know much about that if you ask me... It was made by humans.]

The person who was fiddling with the cravat tilted his head in frustration. Each time, the flame that bloomed like a flower flickered, but since the beak and eyes had disappeared, it became more difficult to read the expression.

[Oh, if you want, I can introduce you to a human with dry clothes.]

“Oh, introduce me.”

“Uh... the person who made those clothes is still alive?”

[Because there is no material that can permanently handle the heat, it gets worn out over a certain period of time and becomes unusable. That’s why there are tailors and wizards who make clothes in every era.]

Still, the tone of voice is sonorous, so he doesn’t seem offended. I jumped down from the railing and Dev, who had been anxious next to me, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Even if you fall backwards anyway, you can just transform the ratel into a hook and hang it. I looked at Dev, who was acting like a fearful person, and lightly patted his head.

Grumbling.

“I wonder if you two are coming along safely.”

“Well... aren’t you coming along well? “They are both priests belonging to the temple.”

“That’s true...”

I followed Suzaku and went inside, removing the coral and amber. The first thing I saw was a marble floor that was shiny enough to reflect my face, and the second thing I saw was a wall with tiles with colorful patterns.

“...It’s gorgeous.”

“Wow.”

“Oh my god, Daejeonsa! The stones shine!”

“Do all southerners live like this?”

“Do you think so?”

What is it? Was the Ottoman Empire the country where the sultan existed? I feel slightly reminded of that place. This is especially true because the tiles are colorful, close to primary colors, and have been generously studded with gold and gems.

When you look at the couch-shaped bed in the pavilion-like space, or the pottery or gold candlesticks decorated with the pond that runs around the room... it reminds you of the luxurious empires of Earth.

[I tell you in advance, I never asked for anything like this. [It’s something humans have decorated as they please.]

Perhaps sensing our gaze as he looked around, Suzaku protested in an aggrieved voice. I didn’t really plan on saying anything. I decided to acknowledge his protest.

“okay.”

[It’s true...!]

No, it doesn’t have to be that deplorable, I already understand.

“But isn’t this all meaningless to you, Master? “You’re uncomfortable with it being in that state, so I think decorations like this would be even more useless.”

[that’s right. It’s useless.]

“Then why are you like this...?”

“More than you think.”

I always think that everyone’s life is similar. Since it is a cold region, is it inevitable that it will be a course format?

[The explanation is explained, so just carry it and go. Thank the kid who cooked for me.]

“Yes.”

I picked up the spoon in earnest as I watched them unload the rice and retrieve the lid without explanation. The etiquette for picking things up from the outside to the inside was the same here, so it wasn’t that difficult.

Only Meister Keimyung Jujak and I picked up the outer spoon accurately.

“Well, there are a lot of them....”

“If it’s difficult, you can just use a spoon and fork. And now it’s okay to pick it up with your fingers and eat it... but wash your hands first before picking it up.”

If there’s something that needs to be cut, both adults will cut it anyway. I tried to put the fig salad that was served as an appetizer in my mouth, but missed it.

Did everyone wash their hands? Did you know that the bowl next to you was originally meant for washing your hands?

“Did you wash your hands too?”

“...no?”

“Uh, I need to wash my hands... yo?”

“Dirty bastards.”

“...there will be a ball filled with water on the left of each person. All you have to do is put your hand in there and wipe it.”

“Wasn’t that what you were supposed to drink?”

...Berserk!!

[Humans must wash their hands. It must be inconvenient.]

I’m not sure if I’m glad I learned table etiquette while reading a book at the temple because I had nothing else to do.

I rang the bell and called the waiting servant. Since I was waiting in the room, there was no need to explain the situation.

He refilled the water right from the kettle. It was drinking water, but... It doesn’t matter if you use it to wash your hands.

“There are really a lot of rules here....”

“It’s because it’s the eating pattern of high-ranking people. “Country folk like us just eat it with a spoon, so don’t try too hard to memorize it.”

“Oh really?”

“yes.”

I wiped the girl’s wet hands with my napkin and put some fig salad into her mouth. Wasak. The girl really liked it because it was a biscuit topped with figs marinated in jam.

“It’s delicious....”

“Are you going to eat mine too?”

“I don’t usually eat a lot of appetizers, but...”

If it’s delicious, you should eat more. I pushed mine to the girl as well. The girl who got two fig salads in an instant smiled brightly, cupping her cheeks.

“I want to eat more Gainir too....”

“Just wait, it will continue to come out later.”

“Oh, this isn’t the end?”

“Can people live off of just this?”

“I don’t know everything, but I think it’s easier to just prepare everything and eat as much as I want. “Why do high-ranking people eat so hard?”

[Should I just ask them to pay it all at once?]

“Please.”

“Ugh, you guys don’t know how to eat.”

Meanwhile, Suzaku rang the bell due to those who were not accustomed to this way of eating. The Meister, who was probably well-versed in aristocratic meals, seemed dissatisfied for some reason, but was unable to stop the crowd.

[From now on, upload it as soon as it is completed. I also give him a lot of food.]

No, if you look closely, he doesn’t seem to be very comfortable with this method. I just complained that they knew how to eat it, so why change it?

In the end, only the commandment, which was arrogant to the core, looked at all the guys pitifully.

“It’s as vulgar as it is wondrous.”

No, looking at what he said, it doesn’t seem like he’s even moderately pathetic. It looks really disdainful.

“and! “It’s food!”

But? It’s none of my business.

“It will keep coming, so don’t eat in a hurry. “I pretend.”

I lightly ate the soup that came after the appetizer and held the excited girl back. Berserk is the type that doesn’t stop things like this, so if I didn’t do it, no one would.

“Oh crazy! Gainir is jumping!”

“I already ate it all... Is there any more?”

“Gainir....”

“Don’t pretend to know me, you guys.”

Over there... they are all grown ups and have Meisters and Commandments, so what would happen? I ignored those two people, even though I knew they would despise me and not help me.

To be honest, it was too tiresome to keep up with grown adults. My hand gestured to the servant who was standing behind me.

“Would you mind giving each of those three people an extra plate of soup... no, two plates each, and doubling the amount going to them from now on?”

“yes.”

Then, I made eye contact with Dev, who was sitting across from the servant looking at me. In the young man’s hands was a bowl of half-eaten soup, and in his eyes, there was a sorrowful look, complaining about the lack of food.

“...I think I’d be grateful if you could just give me another plate of soup.”

“yes.”

No, if you think about it, I am also a commoner, so why am I in charge?

Strangely enough, he disappeared for a while.
