497 Twenty-two Days of the Yellow Moon • - Post-Food Confectionery

"The last treat will be 'cylinder grilled'"

By Siri-Low and the old woman, the last plates are arranged.

There layered appetizers and treats that looked just like them.

The shades are also black and brown, making no difference in appearance.

However, when I wrapped it in a woven cloth and lifted it up, I felt the sweet smell of sweetness.

"Oh, that's a relieving taste. It's as comforting as being stunned with tongues and stomachs."

Polearths had described his thoughts with great accuracy.

This is the kind flavour that Varcus' confectionery had the last time.

Still, I guess it tastes assembled by elaborate calculations. The crisp texture of the black fuwano matches perfectly with the rich flavors of the Panem honey and the sweet aroma reminiscent of cinnamon. And I was very comfortable with the fact that sometimes I could feel the texture like nuts, whether they were mixing lamampa fruit or something.

"Um, is it the milk of a beast that isn't caron used here?

and mime spoke from the other table.

Varcus nods yes.

"I was able to get only one female gamma the other day, so I use that milk. I only give the gamma fruit, so I don't think it has any bad flavors."

"Yes! That's a very mellow flavor! I love it!

"... If you can tell this isn't caron's milk, it won't exist that way. That's Lord Michelle's daughter."

When Varcus stated so, Mim shook his head with a smile "No".

"The first thing I noticed was Tour-Din. If Tul-din hadn't told me, I might not have noticed either."

From my position, I can only see Tour-Din's little back.

However, the hand grabbed Mim's clothes and felt very awkward.

"Tour-din... you were the cook by the woods who was delivering sweets to Princess Odifia"

Varcus looked more at Tour-Din with an emotionless eye.

"We are eager to talk from our apprentice, Siri-Low. Compared to the taste of a tea party once, they say you were beaten by Siri-Low. You're very young, very talented."

"Yes, no, not at all..."

Tool-din's body was so small that he could no longer see it on the back of his chair.

Siri-Low lays his eyes faceless behind Varcus.

After seeing such a Siri-Low for just a moment, Vulcus overlapped the words even more.

"I'm getting to have a hard time brushing my arms when it comes to sweets decorating the lead role at the table. Now, comparing your taste to yours probably won't take away a single star."

"Yeah? No way, that's..."

"But Siri-Low drills as much as any other dish when it comes to confectionery. I look forward to your competing arms and creating delicious sweets."

Siri-Low raised his face like a hack and stared at Varcus' back.

As soon as he turns that way, he starts rubbing his eyes with the back of his hand. I decided to take my gaze off before those eyes looked at me again.

"But as for the closing of the six dishes, it was a treat with no complaints whatsoever! I'm counting on your disciples to continue to cook delicious dishes for the princesses."

"It's a fear," said Varcus, bowing his head as Polearth clasped his words.

"Now that you have eaten all the dishes, I would like to greet you with your disciples"

"Yeah, nice to meet you!

The old woman graces me and leaves the room.

Then soon Bozzle and Turtumai came and stood sideways beside Siri-Low. Roy, an irregular assistant, still doesn't seem to show up.

"The dish of the day was made by four of us. From the right, it's Turtumai, Bozzle, and Siri-Low. Turtumai had his powers sifted primarily with regard to chaskas and vegetable dishes, bozzles with meat dishes, and Siri-Low with regard to appetizers and confectionery."

"Lord Bozzle and Miss Siri-Low have sifted their arms at the ball at my house. That was a really brilliant dish too."

"Yes, I won't cook for 20 people a day without their help. irreplaceable disciples to me, too."

It is an emotionally invisible Varcus, but I could feel that the word was not the one on the top.

Tartumai is faceless, Bozzle smiles, Siri-Low has a resolute face and listens to Vulcus.

"They will already be strong enough for each and every one of them to leave the store. I hope you will continue to draw four of us."

"Yeah, yeah. Thank you again for your time.... were you satisfied with the Black Wind Cut Feather and the folks by the woods?

"Yes, I am very proud that you have tailored the ingredients we have brought back from Sims and different lands to such a great dish. I'm sure your next visit will be over six months away, but we'll bring you another satisfactory product."

When Kukuruel answered as he did, Vulkas thanked him again with courtesy.

"We sincerely thank the folks at Black Wind Cut Wings for delivering different ingredients, starting with live gamma. We would also like to discuss the trade in ingredients."

And now it was the turn of the people by the woods.

As a delegate, Vina-Lou turns to Varcus.

"Your cuisine had such a reputation in the Lew family. Wow... although I am not as fine as my sisters... I feel heartily reminded that so many strange dishes exist in the outside world..."

"It's an honor.... Would it be difficult for Lord Asta to say a word too?

"Yes. I heartily impressed myself. I think it's really amazing how exotic people, Sims and all the people who were born and raised in the woods can cook dishes that they think are delicious."

"… that's a phrase that also applies to Lord Asta."

Varcus has stated so, tilting his neck just a little bit.

"I also wish to mouth the dishes of Lord Asta. Are you planning on cooking again in Castle Town?

"Yeah, so far."

It is not myself, but the people of Castle Town who decide it.

When I thought so and looked more at Pol Earth, he had a lot of trouble lowering his brow.

"We also want to invite Lord Asta to Castle Town. I'm just looking at the time."

"Is it time?," Vulcus frowns at the shavings.

"Yeah. As soon as the rainy season dawned, I thought the Wang Du inspection team would be here, but I still haven't got the tone out. If I could, I would have liked to have done the visiting team before inviting Lord Asta."

"... Is it any inconvenience for you that the people of the Wang Capital are visiting?

Kukuruel, too, came with his mouth curiously.

Polearth laughs with his eyebrows lowered.

"Yeah, well, not just Lord Asta, but the people by the woods are the people of Genos because of their special history, so I don't really want them to touch the eyes of the king's capital. And if you find out that you're inviting people from the woods to Castle Town as cooks, you're going to get extra attention."

"Oh, I see... maybe it's hard to understand for the people of the King's Capital to be around the woods."

Kukuruel seemed convinced by that.

Instead, the face of the cook, starting with Varcus, is more of a candle face.

"I don't know, until the people of the King's capital come to Genos and return again, they won't even invite Lord Asta to the castle town."

"Yeah, that's what Melfried and I think."

"Right. Even Odifia wants to invite Tour-Din to a tea party, but she's been tempted to be patient for a while.... and Miss Deal said the same thing."

Eurifia said so in a voice that included laughter.

"Asta promised Miss Deal she'd sift through dinner, too, didn't she? That's what my companions did to me, so I was just as fuzzy as Odifia."

"Oh, did you? I didn't know that."

Dial hasn't even shown up at the stall lately. If you'd looked at me, you wouldn't have hesitated to blur.

"Well, it's about twice a year that a visiting team from Wang Du comes along. If you do it once, it'll be quiet for a while, so thank you again then, Lord Asta. And the Lew family and Miss Tool-Din."

"Yes, sir. Copy that."

"Until then, I shall encourage my drilling."

Varcus breathes.

The expression hasn't changed, but it looks very unfortunate to me.

"So, um... inviting Varcus to the woodside, because should I withhold now?

When I asked, Polearth rounded his eyes properly.

"No, I don't think I need to stick with that either...... but does Lord Varcus ever leave the castle town or something?

"There isn't," Varcus said softly.

"I try my best not to leave Castle Town, nor will I ever leave again. I would like to wait for the day Lord Asta is invited to Castle Town."

Then, the bozzle gave him a laugh.

"Surely, if Lord Varcus said he was leaving Castle Town, etc., we wouldn't mind either. Lord Varcus is so delicate that even the market in Castle Town is so difficult to reach."

After stating it that way, Bozzle looked more like Siri-Low.

"Siri-Low used to go to settlements by the woods, didn't he? Do you think it's possible, for example, to bring Lord Varcus there?

"And it's outrageous. If Vulcus goes out to the land... I'm sure he'll turn his eyes before he mouths the dish"

Ever since I mentioned it that way, Siri-Low has looked back at us more in a hurry.

"Oh, nothing, I'm not denigrating your lives as barbaric, am I? Otherwise, Vulcan... is in a mood that just makes him feel bad when he's in the crowd."

Sure enough, then, I could just fall for the fervor of a feast by the woods.

Unfortunately, the plan to invite Varcus to the woodside seemed to have to be abandoned.

"Then I would like to wait for the day when I can invite you to Castle Town, too.... Ah, how about Siri-Low?

"Yes? What is it?

"Sooner or later, we want to invite the townspeople to the woodside. At that time, wouldn't it be annoying to invite Siri-Low?

Siri-Low glanced at himself, his eyes black-and-white with tremendous momentum.

"Duh, why me? Aren't you wrong about who you invite? If you want to invite Roy, I'll tell you later."

"Roy, too, but Siri-Low would like to invite you too. Because it's the same pattern that made you feel better."

Siri-Low was twisting his body in a bewildered manner.

Seeing that look, the bozzle laughs furiously again.

"Even Siri-Low wanted to go out to the woodland settlement again, right? Because of this, why don't you invite me?"

"Wow, I'm nothing... I'm sure they're neglecting me..."

"That's not true. I would be very happy to invite you."

and Raina-Lou spoke to a lot of crackling.

Of course, there would have been a lot of conversations at that table, but it was crackling for me to hear that voice.

"Michelle and Mim are still in the Lou family settlement, too, and I wonder if there's anything to gain for you? Please think positively."

"Yes, but..."

"I would be very happy if Siri-Low came too. Even if we skip talking about cooking, we hope to deepen our relationship with you"

Sheila-Lou also said that in a serene voice.

Speaking of which, I remember Sheila-Lou taking care of something at a previous welcoming feast.

Bozzle smiled and put his arms together "Hmm" as Siri-Low got upset as he twisted.

"If you can, I'd like to invite you too. If Gibba is being judged in a forest settlement, that's what I was hoping to see."

"Is Bozzle interested in processing Giva meat?

"Yeah. Even in Castle Town, we're finally going to start trading Giva's raw meat, right? Then I think you should know what kind of procedure Giva is going to take to be meat."

Bozzle is in the position of being entrusted by Varcus with the purchasing of meat.

Maybe that's the kind of mood we wanted to visit Karon's ranch in Doug.

"... will you also soon be dealing with the meat of Gibba?

Varcus nodded "yes" to Raina-Lou's words, which sounded serious.

"Things like giva smoked meat and intestinal meat were already in circulation in Castle Town, but we thought if we could handle raw fresh meat sooner or later, we shouldn't be getting our hands on the murmur. If the regular distribution of raw meat was allowed, it would be a great pleasure for me too."

"Really... I also look forward to seeing what dishes you can use Giva to serve"

I couldn't even confirm my expression because my seat was far away, but I felt very nervous about Rayna-Lew's voice.

I'm also kind of getting a feeling that my spine is squirming.

What dishes can Varcus cook up once he deals with Giva meat?

If it was Kamado's turn by the woods, there was no way I wouldn't have paid attention there.

"Even the cooks seem to interact with each other. Above all. I look forward to revealing some great food in the future."

Polearths takes away the glass with a smile.

"So let us also deepen our interaction while we enjoy our after-dinner drinks? The guards at the castle gate are talking, so please take care of them for a moment, folks by the woods."

◇

As proclaimed by Polearth, then for a moment I was supposed to enjoy the welcome.

It seems to me that this table has been greatly enlivened because of the skill with which Polearths and Merim speak. At the other day's ball, there was never an end to the discussion of how beautiful Ai-Fa was, how delicious the dishes and confectionery made by Rimi-Lou and how prestigious Alishna's fortune was to the princesses.

Besides, it is Schmiral and Kukuruel.

They were running all over the continent, so that was the only topic that could not be talked about.

Limi-Lew and Merrim were listening with their eyes shining, as were the strange customs in Sim, the looks of Mahdra, closed by ice and snow, and the ruggedness of Alglad, the king's capital in the west.

It also seemed that such a conversation could completely dispel Vina-Lou's suspicion of Kukuruel.

I guess Kukuruel finally realized that he was rather a person with a lot of similarities to Schmiral. Along the way Vina-Lou was also smiling and asking about the grassland life in Sims and so on.

However, apart from that, there was a moment to give a glimpse of how Vina-Lou had to calm down.

It was when Schmiral and Alishna exchanged words that Vina-Lou seemed to react hypersensitively.

Nothing was more intimate between the two than was necessary. However, I guess there was something going through somewhere because of the origin that it was originally a clan of the same 'di'. Moreover, Sim's woman was also a very rare presence in this Genos, which may have made her chest noisy for Vina-Lou alone.

"... I wonder if the Sim ladies are all as idle as you are...?

and is finally Vina-Lou, who was asking Arishna about such a thing.

Alishna was tilting her little neck in return for Vina-Lou with her eyes reminiscent of the lake at night.

"I'm sorry. I was born and raised in Selva, so Sim's normal, I don't know."

"Oh yeah...... but my family was with me when I was young......?

"Yes. My mother, my aunt, I was thin. But I think it was difficult for us to get fat because we were poor and had less food."

Then Kukuruel, who was thrilled to talk about Totos against Limi-Luu, looked back at Vina-Lu all the time.

"The people of the meadows consider it ugly to wear extra meat. That's because fattening is considered a symbol of self-depravity."

"Oh, I knew it..."

"Yes, but that is only a meadow lesson. In the meadows, my daughters will also have the aspect of flesh being naturally sharpened in order to do their job on Totos. It also means that the lighter it is, the less it burdens Totos, and the more work he can do than a fat person."

After stating so, Kukuruel narrowed his eyes gently.

"But it's only a meadow mastery. You don't get it if a person who doesn't ride Totos is thin, and isn't a woman like you considered beautiful in Selva?

"Yeah, really. Although all the women by the woods look beautiful, it's probably the first time they've seen someone as beautiful as Vina-Lou."

And even Merrim smiled and said so.

"If you don't mind, Vina-Lou would love to invite you to a ball or something. Just imagine what you would look like if you wore a castle festival costume."

"Hey, I knew you'd need to accompany the lords then. Otherwise, the young princes will all be gathered around her."

Polearths laughs with pleasure.

Kukuruel said in a quiet voice that Vina-Lou was silent with an obscure face.

"Whatever it is, it's the inside, not the outside. No matter how beautiful the appearance, if the interior stares, it will be repelled. Most important to the people of the east is the glow of the human star - the presence of the soul."

"... let the soul be..."

That's all he snapped, and Vina-Lou put his mouth on the liquor glass fruit liquor.

While staring at its worrying side, Schmiral is silent.

And Kukuruel looked at both of those figures with a calm eye forever.

◇

That's how the moments passed so quickly that we were to resign from Silver Star Hall.

"Thank you for coming. We look forward to seeing you again."

Once he was back in the cook, the Vulcas dropped him off, too, and he gets in the luggage car.

From there, an even busier moment awaited.

Kamadoku by the woods, who was reluctant in the dining room, was supposed to argue with each other about Vulcan cuisine.

"I really didn't have much more of a surprise! How the hell is it possible to assemble different flavors like that?

"Right! I also want to make dishes that shake people's minds!

Particularly feverish seemed to be Raina-Lou and Mime.

Of course, it wasn't me or the other members who were calm. I guess it's just the difference between how much confused feelings have gone on the table.

"I do not wish to be like Varcus. … but I guess when you can handle the ingredients so skillfully, you will be able to please your family and compatriots more"

Usually quiet Tour-Din also stated so, closing his eyelids in a prayerful way.

Raina-Lou nods yeah nagging, looking back at the straw Sheila-Lou.

"Sheila-Lou feels the same way, doesn't she? Let's try again tomorrow!

"Yeah, sure.... but you get a little lost on what to do best"

"That's true... Hey Mim, wasn't Michelle a cook who uses vanilla as much as Varcus?

"I never use it, but he said about half of the vanilla out in Inn Town is unrecognizable. In my father's time as a cook, it must have been vanilla that only a cook bordered by Count Turan could get."

"Oh well... Asta, what do you think?

"Right. Sure, Vulcan food is amazing, but you shouldn't have to imitate it as it is, so I guess we'll just have to compete with the ingredients we can handle."

That's what I thought, too.

"It's just that one vanilla can make the food extraordinarily tasty. In that sense, he wants to learn more about handling vanilla.... so I thought I'd beg Giese to teach me."

"Giese is the master of that bloody inn in the east, isn't he?

"Yeah. She seems to have been able to buy all kinds of vanilla personally for a long time, so in that sense, she's probably better at handling vanilla than Jan and Michel, who grew up in Castle Town."

"I see! Be sure to let us be with you then!

Rayna-Lew was blinking her eyes as if she were a maiden in love.

After all, it is probably Raina-Lou who is the easiest person on the table to improve on cooking.

Then Ai-Fa, who was listening in silence, raised his voice with a rather difficult face.

"It's cool that you guys burn your enthusiasm for delicious food, but you're not going to imitate it too badly, are you? For us, your dishes are so much better than those made by Varcus."

"But didn't Varcus also state that he was going to be able to buy out Giva's meat? I… if Varcus made me a Giva dish that tastes better than I do, I would feel sorry for it from the bottom of my heart"

Raina-Lou says it back in a murky way.

She has a surprisingly direct temper, but it was unusual for it to be directed at Ai-Fa.

Then, Ai-Fa also has such a more difficult face.

"I'm not worried about that either. The most delicious dish for me is still Kamadoku by the woods."

"But -!" Raina-Lou said as she tried to embark on herself, Sheila-Lou put her hands gently on that shoulder.

"That I, too, consider the same. If you are a folk by the woods, you will think that your compatriots' luscious dishes are the best. … so I think this is a problem on our side"

"... the problem on Kamado's side, is it?

"Yes, because we are also in a position to cook for the people of the lodging town and for the nobility of the castle town… If those people, for example, recognise that the Giva dish made by Varcus is more delicious than the Giva dish made by Asta, does Ai-Fa also feel somewhat regrettable?

I'm sure that's not somewhere to talk about.

Ey-Fa looked like he was struggling to get his lips tucked away.

"So we hope to gain all the skill we can. Never imitate unscrupulous, so please keep an eye out for Ai-Fa too"

"Hmmm......"

Still, when Ai-Fa was on the top of the Buddha, he spoke as if Tour-din had decided to do something.

"Wow, I always get heartfelt surprised when I eat Varcus dishes. But I never think Asta is inferior to Varcus. Isn't that just the difference between knowing and knowing about ingredients?

"... um? What does that mean?

"Va, Varcus has been working as a cook in this Genos for decades now. But Asta has only been coming to the woods for about a year. Besides, for Asta, all the ingredients were the first thing you saw, right? From that, I am able to cook up to that point using only ingredients that are similar to what I know. Isn't that a tremendous thing?

I had gathered everyone's gaze all together, and Tour-Din's palpable face was turning bright red.

Still, Tour-Din was trying so hard to keep his word down.

"Once such Asta has learned as much about the ingredients in the land as Valkas, she will surely be able to cook more delicious dishes than Valkas. Yes, I still don't think Asta is inferior to Varcus, and I don't think her culinary skills compete with those of others in the first place... Still, I sincerely hope to see how wonderful Asta makes the dish"

"... well," Ai-Fa seemed to have pulled out of her shoulder.

"As I said first, I'm not going to mention your enthusiasm as wrong. I'm just worried that I'm going to be impotent because I'm talking so hot."

"Oh, no... I am sorry that I have spoken so badly..."

"You don't have to apologize for anything. I'm glad to hear your words, Tour-Din."

Tour-din turns so bright red, he gets annoyed.

Rimi-Lou, who was clutching to Ai-Fa's arm, looked back at it and then Dalm-Lou.

"Where's Brother Durm? Were you worried about Rimi or Sister Raina, after all?

"... it's not like I'm worried. If Rayna runs wild, Meer Ray will scold her properly."

Now Rayna-Lew turns his face red and says, "Already!" and pretended to slap my brother.

Darum-Lou is arm in arm with an acquaintance.

"Well, it's not my turn either. I feel roughly the same way about Ai-Fa. Sure, I was amazed at what the guy named Varcus makes, and I thought it might be delicious, but what we want is Kamadoku's cooking by the woods."

After stating so, Darum-Lou glimpsed Sheila-Lou sitting next to him.

"By and large, the stomach is not filled in any quantity. Are you telling me to sleep on an empty stomach like this?

"Well. Have you not eaten enough Dulm yet? It's a lot too late, and you can only make something simple, right?

"Still, you can't lose that man's cooking."

If there was around Rud-Lu or Lara-Lu, the chilling words would have happened to be about to fly.

Limi-Luu just laughs with pleasure "haha".

Whatever it was, the Vulcan cuisine was supposed to make the Kamadokus excited.

Of course I am, and I've been so excited about it that I don't have any more. A cook named Varcus is so much for us.

I want to make more, more delicious dishes. Such a simple enthusiasm, it was such a night tonight.
