Nine and a half days of the silver moon, four moments down.
Having finished my bottom preparations for tomorrow's business, I was on my way to the settlement of Luu with Ai-Fa and Tour-Din.
The aim is to travel with the people of the Lou family to the residence of Count Saturas in the castle town.
The people by the woods have connected two evil bonds with the House of the Earl of Saturas.
One was that a despicable plot was being patrolled in a swordsmanship match between Sin-Luu and Geimaros at the Castle Town VIP Hotel.
The other is that around last year's ash moon, Leeheim, who was up to the stalls of the boarding town, tried to give Rayna-Lew an expensive gift, and was solidified about it.
Compared to the former, the latter is still a modest cause.
I guess that's why we've never been heavily eliminated before.
Now if Raina-Lou were just a town daughter, it might have been a time when Leaheim, who had been scorned, had gone out to more coercive means to make things worse, but fortunately, the nobles of Genos were trying to correct their bad luck with the people by the woods. Without having to take any action, Marquis Marquis Marstein's arbitration, fearing a deterioration in his relationship with the people by the woods, was quickly converging his stuffiness.
But also, at the time, Leeheim was obsessed not only with Raina-Lou, but also with Gibba's dishes and Gibba meat itself.
As for the dishes, well, maybe he was just bothering to go all the way to the lodging town to get contact with Raina-Lou, but behind it, he was plotting to figure out if he couldn't afford the giva meat.
At that time, Gibba's meat was traded at the same price as Caron's foot meat. Compared to the meat of the caron's torso, which is most preferred in Castle Town, it is roughly half the price. But Giva's meat is a wonderful ingredient that can't even beat Caron's torso. Leeheim, who laid eyes on it, stuck to the idea of buying up a lot of Giva meat and selling it in Castle Town.
Most importantly, this was not the main thrust of trying to monopolize the money separately, it was just the thought that if delicious meat was available cheaply, I would never have gone beyond it, and then, if I had such a big business, I would be appreciated by the people by the woods, and hence I would be able to build a good fringe with Raina-Lou.
Unfortunately, however, that was nothing but a thankless and annoying act for the people by the woods. If the nobility buys up the giva meat and makes it impossible to do business in the lodging town, it will also sever its fringe with the people of the town, which has improved because of it, in a bad way, and it will also buy unwanted resentment on the part of the nobility. That's why the matter had also been arbitrated by Malstein from quite an early stage.
Using that as one trigger, Gibba's meat was to be sold and bought for a price of 1,5 times the previous price. In the Inn Town, it was treated as a more expensive ingredient than Caron's foot meat.
So we and the owners of the innkeeper decided to get our heads in order not to lose sales. Reducing the size of a meal to keep prices down is also a bitter meat measure that was awoken during that period.
But the results were good. Just at the same time, when we were asked to consume the ingredients that were being served in Castle Town, we succeeded painfully in using them to create new menus to connect the interests of the townspeople. That would have allowed us to broaden our business hands more than before, so we would not have wanted any further results.
But also, it was Leeheim's side that couldn't fit in.
Perhaps he was in the mood of being revenged for his grace.
One case of Raina-Lou and one case of Giva meat is a story that started with goodwill and favor if you try it on him. It's just that the way we approached it was so aristocratic that it wasn't acceptable to us.
So he became disgusted with the people by the woods.
At the dinner party in Castle Town, all the other people gave me my dishes, and this time, as part of the harassment, I was supposed to call Sin-Lu to Castle Town. Perhaps he was not aware correctly of how powerful the hunters by the woods were, and the prospect was to let Gay Malos beat him up in front of the public and shame him red.
But Gaymaros was more rightly aware of the situation than Leeheim. Even if you are famous for being a swordsman of your fingers in Castle Town, you can't fathom a hunter by the woods on five-minute terms. It is up to me to be shamed red - that's how I came up with it and dyed my hands at the soothing imitation of preparing heavy armor for horseback riding only on Sin-Lu's side.
I mean, that was another incident that triggered Leeheim's ills.
One case of Raina-Lou or Giva meat could be cleaned up with the word "don't wear it". One case of Gay Malos, however, is a major one that could put a crack in the relationship of trust between the people of the woods and the nobility of Genos. So Malstein arranged this reconciliation dinner to remove the distrust that obsessed Leeheim and the people by the woods.
"Besides, the Lodging Town is an area under the control of the Earl of Saturas. Even for those of us who do business in boarding town, this guy isn't human resources. Let's try to keep our hands on everyone in the Lew family and make a good connection with that Leaheim."
That's how I called it, taking Gill's reins.
Ey-fa, who was relaxing right behind your podium, returns the word "um" in an unusual manner. Today, he is still resting in his body, which he has mistreated with a day of training.
"But there's only one thing I don't know. In what way does the Earl of Saturas rule the town of lodging? While working in a dormitory town for so long, I hardly seem to have had a chance to hear the name."
"Come on? If I say that, I don't know one thing about how Malstein is ruling Castle Town right now. In the meantime, though I think of the idea that nobles are ruling so that the people of the town can live in peace and collect taxes in return."
"Hmm... so when the Lord is corrupted like Cycleus, the inhabitants will have spicy acids."
"Yes, yes. So, from the feel of Milan-Math and Yumi, the Earl of Saturas doesn't look so respected by the people, but I didn't hear any specifically bad rumors. Anyway, the nobility of Genos tends to be stuck in a castle town, so I guess the people don't know what's going on."
That is not a story confined to the Earl Saturas family. We still don't know the name of the Earl of Dalaim. I guess it's better to show up a little like Polearth, but as a nobleman of Genos, it's out of standard.
"I wonder what kind of benevolence it is to be the owner of the Earl Saturas family, Leeheim's father. I just hope you're not too bigoted."
That's what I told you, I see a settlement in Luu.
We'll leave soon anyway, so the van stops at the entrance to the settlement, and I'll get off your platform to the ground. Then, Ai-Fa called me to "wait".
"Don't act alone. Tul-din, come with us."
"Yes," Thur-din also comes down following Ai-Fa.
I'm sure Ey-Fa is wary of The Seat of Gamleys. Since yesterday, they have stayed in the settlement of Lou.
The hunters and pinots of the Lou family fit in when they were still in the woods. A huge box-shaped car was sloppily parked on the road in front of the settlement, and a beautiful whistle had been heard before stepping into the square.
Nachara, a luscious beauty with shallow black skin and a long coat with Sim-style embroidery.
Shortly after entering the square, she was blowing a lateral whistle as she laid her back on a pile of wood, instead of which her big boy Doga and little boy Zan even cracked firewood.
When we have a meeting, only Doga returns the courtesy. A giant man who also surpassed Ji-Mayam, his head was shaved to ruggedness, and he had a tough look like a Moai statue, but he had an extremely mild temper and was very polite in terms of language and waist.
Around them, toddlers without jobs and empty women, etc. are curling a little farther to see how they are. On the second day of your stay, you must still not be able to get used to what they look like. In addition to that, the sound of Nachara's whistle, full of sadness, was something worth listening to no matter what you put down.
"From now on, it's Castle Town. Thank you, Asta."
And it was Lyada-Lu, the previous head of the Sin-Luu family, who approached him with a chick as he strained his right leg.
"Thank you, Lyada-Lou. They're helping with the payroll job, right?"
"Mm-hmm. Just sleeping in a luggage truck makes my body feel better, and I want to help with our work anyway," he said. Chief Donda-Lou accepted the word "
And Lyada-Lu seems to have been offered such a watchdog. The time the hunters are out in the woods, the men who remain in the settlement are very limited.
"Now it's finally day two, isn't it? Will they be able to capture Giva alive?"
"I don't know. Looks like some gibberish was in a trap yesterday, but it didn't seem to fit their demands.... They seem to be looking for a very young Gibba."
"Oh, I guess it's just impossible to teach art to a grown giva. But since a young Gibba is protected by her mother, she doesn't really have a chance to capture him, does she?
"Hmm. It seems like it would be better for you to give up early."
While we were having such a conversation, a luggage car pulled from the other side of the main house to Lulu approached. Raina-Lou is the one with the reins.
"Asta, thank you for waiting. We're ready to go now."
At the shoulder of Raina-Lou, Rud-Lou smiles and waves. They've cut the hunter's job early to accompany him as an escort.
The people of the Lou family were also a few elites, as today they are only in a position to be invited as guests. He is Giza-Lou as deputy to the chief, who is the body of the wounded; Raina-Lou and Sin-Lu, the parties linked to the Earl of Saturas; Sheila-Lou, who helps with his work as Kamado number; and Rud-Lu, the only escort.
There was a reason why there were so few escorts. Guests were allowed knives at this dinner party.
When that happens, Giza-Lu and Sin-Luu are also hunters of war, so they can play their part in protecting the women themselves. It was Donda-Lou's decision that if Ai-Fa were to accompany him, there would be no problem with Rudo-Lou alone.
So nominally, both Ai-Fa and Rudd-Lou are in the guest's shoes. Today everyone will surround the table prepared by the Earl of Saturas.
Besides, Donda-Lou told me to narrow down the numbers as much as possible on our side, so I was only accompanying one Tour-din.
There are two reasons.
For one thing, I wanted Tour-Din to eat more than one dish from Castle Town. The other was because I heard that Melfried would accompany his partner and son to participate this time.
This time we were going to dedicate only the lid dish to the meaning of rapport. So, if Odifia, who strongly hopes to visit Tour-Din, will be present, I thought I'd satisfy that feeling once here.
Together with Sphilla-Zaza as a spectator to its members, the total number is nine.
I still feel like this has become a little overcrowded as an inner rapprochement, but of course the side of the Earl Saturas family never reluctant to do that.
"I guess the time is just about right. See you tomorrow, Lyada-Lu."
"Uhm."
Tomorrow is tomorrow, and it is finally a welcome feast. We just enjoyed the feast on "Day of Doom" about ten days ago, but this is not the occasion, so we won't let it happen. Regardless of Yumi and Terrier-Mass, it seems that Dora's father and others can only get their wings off at this time of year. We were all so busy working during Easter that we wanted this much fun to be tolerated.
With that in mind, I left the settlement and tried to get into the luggage car, and I could hear the tone of the luggage car rushing from the south side of the road.
A huge, box-shaped luggage truck climbed up the road to Accommodation Town. Flames were painted with bright red paint on the sides of the body, that was supposed to be a "One of the Seats of the Gamrays" luggage.
They had as many as seven luggage cars, so apparently one of them was down to town. It was not the sand lizards of the southern desert that were pulling the luggage, but two tototosses, and it seemed that it was either the twins Arun or Amin holding the reins.
Their luggage cars are huge, so it's hard to make a difference on the settlement road. So we had to wait for them to park the car at the end of the road.
Eye-Fa's eyes narrow so much when he sees the person who hiccupied off the carrier of the parked car to the ground.
And it was Niya the bard, whom he saw for the first time.
"Oh, this is! You're hissing, my dear."
Niya, wearing something like a bird hat and bearing an instrument like a guitar on her back, rushes over here at once. Seeing that unyielding smile, Ai-Fa narrowed her eyes to an increasingly sinister feeling.
"Wait, don't get any closer.... and I'm not going to talk to you or anything."
"Yeah? Meet me. Suddenly, what a cold word! I wonder what the hell makes you so angry, my love?
"What are you angry about, so...? You don't even remember what you did?
"I should have offered my sincere apologies for my disrespect to my family."
And because Niya is decent, I've been surprised a lot too.
For the first time since Jomtien's Day, we have seen Niya face to face. That night, Niya sang a white sage Misha song and was laughing with a vain face. That night he was something that looked completely different, as if he was even in a trans state - but today he was laughing with a face that floated around like before.
"I couldn't even say hello because Pinot was loud, but I was busier too. I'm still bringing sweet moments to you in Castle Town."
"I don't care about such stories. You..."
And I panicked and pushed it off because I-Fa was about to step out.
"Let's not, Ai-Fa. Maybe he wasn't really mean to me."
When I struck her in the ear like that, Ai-Fa glared back at close range with her eyes narrowed. Niya is still quite a nerve to be calm with such a glance pointed at her.
"I can't explain it a bit well. This Niya is probably... living in a different light from us."
"I don't know what that means. I may have never seen myself as such a person with epilepsy."
"Yeah, so I = fa better not get too involved. More than me, Ai-fa and Ziza-Lou are not compatible with this Niya."
I can't explain it well with my mouth, but it just seemed like it to me. It is certain that this Niya lives in a very different sensibility than the people and nobles of the town.
I don't think of artist skin or anything, I don't think of shivers in the world as farts, and I don't look at them. As a type, Gamray would also be in that category, but it still seems that Mitsujin was still aware of what his story would do to the rest of us. That kind of awareness didn't seem entirely missing from this Niya.
Then Niya was such an excellent singer by then.
He fits in perfectly with the image of a "musician who lacks sociability but is a genius" for me.
If this imagination was not out of focus, it would seem to mesh badly enough to be eye-catching with the hunters around the rigid woods.
(Tell you what, even Vulcus is that type)
So it seemed to me that I-Fa didn't like the Varcus thing either. I guess the difference between Varcus and Niya lies in what you think of a human being named me. Varcus is well-intentioned and obsessed with me, but this Niya is not. Either that or I'm neglecting my presence, which I'm cordially cordial with Ey-Fa. Even if Niya and I-Fa interacted like that, all I could think about was an unfortunate future.
"We're going to Castle Town, too. I'm sorry, but now I'm going to ask you to excuse me."
Let me put it that way, Niya squeezed her tease over something and shrugged her shoulder with a conceited trick. Even in places like that, he looks a lot like Gamray.
"See you later, my love. Before I leave Genos, I'd like to dedicate at least one song to you."
"Such offer is categorically declined"
Answered with a heavy slaughter-like voice, Ai-Fa boarded the carrier.
With Niya's tongue-in-cheek on her ass, we finally left for Castle Town.
