449 Sweet gathering, again ① ~ face-to-face ~

Fifteenth day of the red moon, five days after the birthday of Ai-Fa.

We were on our way to Castle Town, as promised, to keep the tea party kitchen number.

The street business is on holidays. The tea party in Castle Town was a lesson to be held before and after Jomtien, so it was difficult to take on only on holidays.

Moreover, the hunter of the escort is also not likely to accompany him without taking time off from work. It was Ai-Fa and Rudd-Lou who were to assume that role this time.

"Lew's house was off the hunter's job five days ago, wasn't it? Is Rud-Lew the only one on holiday today?

"No, the others are resting at home, too. During the rainy season, it was impossible."

Surprisingly or whatever, the Luu family seemed to have the highest rate of time off the hunter's job. Not only during these rainy seasons, but also when the wounded are successive and when Gibba gathers poorly, the Lew family has the cleanliness to stop working and rest their bodies.

Now, Giva's harvest is supposed to be the best alongside the northern clan, so there's nothing else to admire as efficient anymore. Take time off when you should rest, and work hard when you should. The Luu clan, led by Donda-Lu, was thought to be very good at discerning around there.

"Since the Lew family is such a clan, maybe something like a hound was also very well accepted. I think it's a really big guy to have a flexible mindset over bravery, Donda-Lou."

"Oh, my God, there's nothing you can do about praising me where I'm not in person, huh?

In the rain, while swayed by a box-shaped Totoss car that switched at the entrance to Castle Town, Rudd-Lou nonetheless laughs at it as if it wasn't too much.

"Something about I-Fa has been in the woods a lot lately, hasn't it? Then why don't you let Koyu's get a bone break, too?

Ai-Fa, who sat quietly trapped by me and Rimi-Lou, shrugged her shoulders as she soaked.

"Nevertheless, while Asta was being offended by the disease, she never made it out into the woods for a long time. I still don't think I've given you that share of the harvest, nor am I still getting tired."

"That's a big deal. Even my dad's resting a little like this during the rainy season, huh?

"That would be because Donda-Lou leads a large number of blood clans. If you think your blood family needs rest, even if you are not tired of yourself, weigh it down. That's the right thing to do as a parent."

"So I'm also thinking that if I have a family of hunters who are less powerful than I am, I have to put in some time off?

"I believe it should be. It doesn't make sense to think about it."

"That's not true. One day, Asta and Bunba, silly kids..."

"Wow!," I shouted and decided to undo Rudd-Lou's words.

Ai-Fa peeks into my face like a surprise.

"What's the matter all of a sudden? Even the poisonous worm bit you?

"Yes, no, not like that, though"

Deceiving me, I desperately made Rudd-Lou look at me.

Rudd-Lou, sitting in the seat across the street, turns that way and tongues out.

"So, what are you and Asta doing?

"No, that's why Asta and Bunba are silly"

"You guys! Let's change the subject!

When I shook up my voice again, it sounded like it was coming from behind your table.

"What have you done? If you don't feel well, I'll put the car away."

"No, I'm fine!

I took my seat so I didn't have to shout and let it move next to Rudd-Lou. And pour a voice of condemnation into its ears.

"You know, you said Ziba-Lou wouldn't interfere too much with the extra house, right?

"Because if you look at the Astas, you're in a hurry. I just think it fits how you saw it."

"Oh, please, would you please leave me alone? We're both in a very special position by the woods."

As we whispered to each other in a whisper that way, Ai-Fa called out grumpy, "Hey."

"Sounds like some fun. It's a cool thing to be close, but am I in the middle of a conversation?

If you don't have eyes, even one of your lips has eyes that seem to make you lose them.

Then Rimi-Lou, who was next door, smiled and leaned against its arm.

"Than that, I'm looking forward to today! I'm glad to be with you again."

Did you follow my brother's dick? As much as I was perfectly grateful.

And Tul-din, sitting a little further away, watches this noise with a troubled smile.

These five were full members of the day.

Previous tea parties are outfits that Sin-Luu has replaced with Rud-Luu.

This time again, Rudd-Lou was to be chosen because the request to "accompany the hunter, as soft a crowd as possible" was communicated.

Sin-Lu was to be seen by the young princess at the last tea party, so I guess I dared to take it off. You should be spending some warm time at home today with your family and Lara-Lew's. Rudd-Lou looked very satisfied when he mentioned this role as an escort for his dear sister and also came around for tasting opportunities.

In the meantime, Totos' car stops moving.

When I got out of the car, a white palace stood in front of me.

It's the same place as before, only a small house with the name Swan Palace. This time, just in front of the front door, the car was advanced to the space where the stone roof came out, so there was no need to wrap the rain gear around it.

Later it will be guided inside the palace, following the same procedure as the previous one.

First of all, it is the usual, bathroom.

Since the rooms are divided between men and women, it is a separate act from the Ai-Fas.

So when he purged himself and moved to the summoning room, he was ready for the same outfit as the previous one.

I have white cooking clothes, and Rud-Lew has white martial arts officers' clothing.

"Is this the guy who made Sin-Lu wear it? Sure looks cramped."

While stating so, Rudd-Lou had some fun.

And the beautiful attire suits you unexpectedly. Even Rudd-Lou, full of naiveté, still looks good, and he has a great style. Not to the point of being like a noble young man, but not losing a costume at all.

And as he left the room and waited a little, the Ai-Fas also showed up with guidance from the samurai.

Ai-Fa is the same martial arts attire as Rudd-Lou, and Limi-Lou and Tour-Din are apron dresses like tiny maids.

Seeing her precious sister's adorable appearance, Rudd-Lou laughed "uh-huh".

"Oh, my God, you're dressed like a weirdo! Try to force a kid to wear adult clothes!

"Oh my God, you idiot, Ludo! I thought I'd give you a compliment!

Rimi-Lou gets her cheeks swept up.

The mean brother still laughed and turned his eyes to Ai-Fa.

"I-Fa doesn't look kind of weird. Look at the guy. He's so beautiful. It's so hot from men and women."

…………

"You look great over there, too! If we run into each other, we'll be mistaken for someone from Castle Town."

Tour-Din is also smiling weakly at him for having trouble reacting.

Limi-Lew was still fluttering his cheeks and kicking his brother's leg like that.

"… now greet your ladies"

and it was Shayla who came in and out there.

I guess she helped me put on Ey-Fa again. Very satisfied, and inadvertently staring sideways at Ey-Fa before he forced us into the corridor.

It is common practice at tea parties for people to say hello before going to work.

Well, I don't know if this is a castle town routine or an Eurifian individual routine. Either way, all the steps were similar to the last one.

However, the Tea Party venue was different from before.

Last time it was an outdoor garden, this time it was indoors.

The garden venue also had a roof, but I guess it's still not suitable for a tea party during the rainy season. This is the harshest cold of the year for them, even if it feels like late autumn to me.

Therefore, there was a fire in the room in the fireplace.

On top of that, you ladies are dressed in thin things that are no different than before the rainy season. However, they each protected themselves from cold air with spicy embroidered shoulders and knees.

"Welcome, everyone by the woods. I've been looking forward to today."

There was a large round table, where as many as seven ladies were in formation.

However, this time it was a facial rash that everyone saw. We were also informed in advance.

Let's start with Eurifia, the wife of Melfrid, and her youngest son, Odifia. Dial and Arishna's guest combinations are also face-to-face.

Plus, Count Turan's main reflair. Being kept away from social places, she was again allowed to be present at Eurifia's tease.

That was the same facial rash as last time, and the two remaining were Rittia, the mother of Polearths, and Merrim, the wife.

Instead of the young princesses who were to be in love with Sin-Lu, this time they were to be invited. If this happens, there will be no fear of being able to do so in different shades of sex.

"Hiccup, Asta. And that's... that's your lady back then, Ai-Fa, isn't it? You look really different."

By the way, little lady Rittia calls me that way with a soft grin. She is a very gracious and magnificent lady of magnificence who gained her knowledge at the Ball of the Earl of Dalaim.

"You guys are the same outfit as you were at the ball. She's so cute."

And, Merrim is smiling with his eyes more towards the Limi-Lu's.

This one is also a lovely lady who is small and looks very young. I still wore a light pink dress today, and that looked really good on me again.

So the first meeting with them was about Rudd-Lou's.

There, Eurifia is laughing.

"You were the third son of chief Donda-Lou. I didn't want your name, but I've seen you several times."

"Uh, I used to come to Castle Town as an escort all the time, like before the fight. I can't use polite language or anything, but give me a break."

"Yeah, I don't mind. Chief Donda-Lou is truly blessed with your child."

Eurifia smiled gracefully by doing her hand to her mouth.

Now she will have met all three brothers in the Luu main house firmly from close proximity. As a woman in a castle town, she is arguably the person most closely associated with the people by the woods.

So when your ladies' interaction came to a paragraph, Dial spoke as she had been waiting for you.

"I'm relieved you seem to be feeling perfectly well, Asta. I've been so worried lately because I've been busier at work and couldn't make it out to Inn Town."

In this kind of place, it was a dial that surrounded the gentleness of your lady, but there was a light of relief in her green eyes that could not be hidden.

I try to keep my head down, too, "I'm worried about you," he says.

"I, too, feel the same way. I'm so happy to see you safe."

Arishna, as crackling as Dial, described it to me that way. The people of the east. She can't read more inside than Dial, but she doesn't feel like questioning the truth.

"... I hear you were letting Asta deliver Giva's food even while she was suffering from the disease, east man"

and restrained Arishna while Dial twisted sideways.

Arishna nods facelessly, "Yes".

"I mean, every day, Giva's food, it was delivered without anything. And then I, Asta's disease, found out."

"Oh, by that time, this Tour-Din was the center of it, cutting me more into business."

When I let him do that, Tour-Din lowered his head in a panic.

"Really?" Alishna narrows her eyes slightly.

"Bullshit, Asta, it tasted the same. You're an excellent cook, Tour-Din."

"Yes, no, I wasn't making it alone... and I'm not even under Asta."

"But you and Rimi-Lou are the cooks today, and Asta is the assistant, right? I was so excited to see what kind of treats they would feed me."

Eurifia also smiles and smiles at her mouth.

"I'll let you star in comparison to flavor today, but don't worry, you're only entertaining there. This time the Lady of the Lowe family could also be invited as a cook, and I'm sure it will be a great tea party"

That was probably a signal to leave the room.

But I dared be blunt and let the last one who kept quiet speak to me.

"Princess Lifreia hasn't hissed either. Looking good, above all."

Refraia, whom I saw hissing for the first time, was as cute as a French doll, and had a soaked look.

Those tinted eyes look back at me quietly.

but the words emanating from those little lips weren't directed at me.

"... Eurifia, am I allowed to casually exchange words with this Asta?

"Yes, of course. On behalf of the two of you who are mediators with the people of the woods, my companion, Princess Merrim, is listening to the words, so you won't even worry about Marquis Genos."

"Yes..." Refraia laid her eyes down.

Then you look at my face again and you get up out of the chair without a sound.

"Asta of the house of Fa, a people by the woods. And Limi-Luu in Luu's house. As the head of Count Turan's family, I would like to express my gratitude to you."

"Yes, is that a thank you?

"Yes, thanks to your preparation of a delicious meal, the people of the north of Turan are able to perform a more satisfactory task than ever before. I'm sure that will bring a lot of power to Turan in the future. So... thank you very much."

That's how Refraia thanked your lady, along with a trick that would pinch the frills of her skirt.

Leflaia bowed her head to us.

That must have been what I've been doing since I asked to cook for my father and when I actually gave him that dish.

"And while this may be an extra word... my maid of honor, the same people of the North, was very grateful for what you did. It brought joy to my blood, so it's natural."

After adding that, Refraia sat down.

Maybe that's what you wanted to tell us. Nor should she be able to push forward about Chiffon-Cher in her capacity as a slave.

"... Speaking of which, the people of the North who are still in Turan are now served the dishes we devised."

To my words, Refraia nods, "Yes."

"There were about two women who could no longer travel to the woods because of their injuries, so they were supposed to give the other women a clue. So now all the people of the North can eat the dishes you've devised."

Then Eleo-Cher, who was to remain in Turan in the same way, is able to continue eating cream stews and fuwano bun meals, too.

I could breathe relieved as I remembered his unusual smile.

Rimi-Lou is smiling and listening silently to our interactions.

"Then I'll ask you to prepare the confectionery."

Eurifia nodded as she smiled at Eagle Deep Fried.

We'll pay our respects and leave your lady's room behind.

"... Beyond the cloth in the back of the room, it seemed like a bunny soldier was hiding"

And, as I walk down the corridor, I hear Rudd-Lou ear to eye fa.

"So, I'm sure some of them are called that Sanjula. I don't think Castle People are going to sell fights right now, but I'm just a little restless."

"I have nothing to show you. You wouldn't be late for a guy named Sanjula right now."

"I wonder if so. I'm more confident than I used to be."

While they were exchanging those words, they arrived at the cook.

When the door is opened by Shayla's hand, the sweet scent floats. It smells like something is simmering fruit.

And beyond that scent were the appearances of Siri-Low and Roy as seen in the crackle.

Well, I can't be sure because I wore a white mask softly, but I don't think there's any mistake from the outfit. As we stepped into the kitchen, I thought Roy, who had boiled the pot in Kamado, was more like, "Hey."

"That's a little crackling. We were talking about being hit by a terrible disease, and you look perfectly fine."

"Yes, thanks to you. Looks like we're back in shape."

"That was more than anything. I was so worried about Varcus."

Then a person like Siri-Low, who was working on the powder of Fuwano at a nearby workbench, looked at us with a thick gaze.

"Could you please keep saying hello after the work? Replace me if you cannot keep a close eye on the fire."

"It's not as burning as you take your eyes off. Even you were so horny that you couldn't beat Varcus."

"Wow, I'm not dicking around or anything!

Beyond the holes rounded open in the white mask, the skin under Siri-Low's eyes is red.

Heading that way, I let him bow his head.

"Well, say hello after work.... I apologize for your concern.

"So, that's why I'm saying I'm not worried or anything!

I've figured out a lot about Siri-Low's temperament, so I never was induced to feel sad by that word.

We had to make some sweets for you, too.
