528 Three Days of the Green Moon ② - Kimmus's Tail Pavilion

It is at dusk.

We finished the planting for tomorrow in the woodland settlement. We were down to Inn Town again.

Both Donda-Lou and Ai-Fa agreed to help Kimmus with his work at the Tail Pavilion.

Instead, the escort was to have a full complement of members ready.

They are some of the best hunters around the woods: Ai-Fa, Giza-Lou, Rudd-Lou, and Dan-Lutim.

"Even if we were surrounded by 200 soldiers, we would be able to escape safely."

During his departure, Donda-Lou was laughing as he stated so.

Donda-Lou's laughing meant that he was in an attitude of imminent battle.

"I don't know what kind of people the soldiers are, but the nobles we met in Castle Town had no credit at all. Whatever that kid named Late says, there's no way he won't be careful."

Donda-Lou said that, too.

So we waited for the hunters to return from the woods and set out for the Inn Town.

"Hehe. Going down to the lodging town is a crack indeed! This guy's gonna be a pretty delightful night!

Dan-Rutim was alone in pleasure as he was rocked by his luggage.

I left Rudd-Lou to drive the luggage, and Ai-Fa looks bitter on my behalf.

"Dan-Lutim, you're not going to play, so you're going to. And I also want you to refrain from imitating things that cause noise from you"

"Don't be dramatic! I'm not that shallow, either!... but it still bothers me that those who have said so much to Lyada-Lu!

Originally, the escort was to get three people out of the Lou family. But when Gazran-Rutim asked about the situation, Dan-Rutim had softened Mim Char and rushed him to the settlement of Luu to give him a name as an escort.

Donda-Lou was also often reticent, but eventually accepted Dan-Rutim's suggestion. Anyway, Dan-Rutim is a powerful contender for one or two of Luu's blood. While leaving some anxiety about its direct temperament, it would have weighed its strength as a hunter.

"Ma, if Dan-Rutim hadn't come, I'm sure Brother Durm would have been chosen. I just took my wife because of you. What, so Brother Durm's sneaking up on you, too?

That's what Rudd-Lou said, whilst blurring the reins at your table.

All of Darum-Lou's moods were unknown, and I had the same feelings for Lyelpham-Sudra. Because the baby has just been born, I've always wanted it to bite off at home at night.

"Speaking of which, are those hundred lion growers staying in the inn across from us?

And Giza-Lou, who had been quiet for so long, has asked.

I say yes.

"I asked Late, too, that a man named Doug, a hundred lions long, is staying at Kimmus's Tail Pavilion."

"Hmm! I'm really excited to see what kind of man that is!

Dan-Rutim is only cheerful.

Ai-Fa and Ziza-Lou are expressions of seriousness themselves.

And as someone who helps with the cooking job, I was accompanied by Rayna-Lew in addition to me.

It was not until sunset that we left the woodland, so the surroundings became darker and darker as we drove our luggage.

That's how I got to the lodging town, and the streets were already burning.

It is a barbecue for the night, also seen in the fold of Easter.

At regular intervals, pots are placed in the streets, and fire is lit there. The number of pots seemed smaller than at Easter, but what a subtle look it was to have red fire lit in the dark at equal intervals.

"Hmm. Some people are still walking, even in the dark like this."

Ai-Fa, who was wandering the outside world from the side of your palace, crumbles.

Still, the number of people was sparse, and yet the number of guards on patrol was higher than during the day. In order to be richer than the town of leeway, the inn town of Genos is thus protected by guards at night.

When we arrived at Kimmus's Tail Pavilion, it was Late who welcomed us.

It's a little cute to wear a front from the top of your regular outfit.

"I've been waiting for you. I'll take care of Totos and his luggage. The soldiers of Wang Du are not back yet, so please join the cook within the moment."

"Huh? Are they not back yet?

"Yeah. You look like you put your foot up a lot farther today. I'd appreciate it if you could finish your meal at another inn."

While stating so, Late pulled Gill's reins and disappeared into the back of the building.

We wander around the door of Kimmus's Tail Pavilion.

"Oh Rayna-Lew on Asta... and everyone else... I'm so sorry for all the hard work you've done today..."

In the cook, Terrier-Mass was alone getting ready for work.

First, as a representative of the Luu family, Giza-Lu moves forward.

"I'm Jizza-Lu, the eldest brother of the Luu main house. I know you've looked at me a few times, but I'll give you a name.... and the chief decided that today is a necessary deed for us too, so we don't need to worry about anything"

"Hih, the necessary doings, is that...?

"Hmm. The people of the King's capital seem to be very concerned with the people of the woods. I'm going to show you what kind of sexual roots the soldiers who sat in the boarding town have on behalf of the chief."

From next to Giza-Lou, who only hesitates to state, Rudd-Lou makes a face.

"Besides, you're already friends with the Lew family. It's enough to thank you, so don't hesitate to count on me."

Rudd-Lou, along with people from the Rimi-Lou and Dora families, recently visited the Kimmus Tail Pavilion as a dining room guest.

Terrier-Mass bows his head, "Thank you," with a crying smile.

"My father didn't say thank you either, but now that I'm putting him to sleep on pain medication... let me thank him again later"

"Oh. Until your father can move, I guess we'll be on our faces every day. Tell them to take care of their bodies."

Rud-Lew shows more white teeth.

Instead, Dan-Rutim was making his big nose crack.

"But that's something that smells delicious! I'm getting hungry!

"If so, is dinner coming up? If so, please enjoy it within the present. It looks like very few people are in the dining room yet..."

The kitchen was fitted with a storage unit, where two humans could sit tables and chairs were prepared. Usually, the Terrier-Masses also finish their meals there quickly when their hands are free.

"So shall we finish the meal for two? Ziza-Lou, Dan Rutim, if you like."

"Uhm! What are you feeding me?

"Right. Giva meat seems to be loose, so let's just make it something."

While spreading the leather bag I bought from Doug on the workbench, I figure out what to do.

Then Terrier-Mass called out to me naughty.

"Um, if you like, also enjoy the giva dishes we prepared. Yesterday and all yesterday, we have made some sales surpluses..."

"Huh? Oh, yeah. The soldiers of Wangdu are not interested in Giva cooking."

So, the majority of the other guests moved the inn, so the Giva dish is also meant to be enjoyed.

"But it was the Giva dish that served it raw, wasn't it? Doesn't it mean that the people of Wang Capital don't order Giva food?"

"Oh, no, that's..."

And, Terrier-Mass lays his eyes down.

Ziza-Lou's eyes, as thin as thread, were just directed toward Terrier-Mass.

"You don't have to feel comfortable with us. In other words, if it's about the people of the King's capital, I'd like you to let me hear it without covering anything up."

"Oh really... I think it's going to be a very unpleasant story for everyone by the woods because I was so angry..."

"I don't mind. What happened to you?

"Yes… apparently they were playing gambling in the middle of a meal… and the person who lost to it mouths the Giva dish"

Dan-Rutim had his eyes rounded properly.

Then pound your hands as thick as a glove.

"I see! For them, mouthing Giva dishes is a punishment! I don't know what you're talking about, I've been worried sick for a second!

"Yes, I am so sorry..."

"What are you apologizing for? Stick around, it's not like you're apologizing! Besides, the humans of Genos once hated Giva meat! It would be impossible for the rest of us to behave that way!

That said, Dan-Rutim laughed gahaha.

"If we had eaten properly, we could have known how delicious Giva meat is! I can't do that with raw roast meat! I'm so sorry to hear that!

Terrier-Mass was relieved, too, as Dan-Rutim, who seemed lavishly exaggerated to see it, was laughing without looking distracted.

Giza-Lou also nods with an unchanging look.

"No matter how the people in town treat the meat, fangs and horns of Giva that we put up for sale, it's up to the people in town. Even if we get trampled on with our feet, we don't have to worry about anything."

In the meantime, Ai-Fa was alone with a disappointing head.

I could see right into that heart, and I'd let my mouth softly rest on Ai-Fa's ear.

"This is what Late was saying. Let's be careful not to get angry with Giva cooking no matter what they treat us like."

"Hmmm... if Asta's cooking were trampled on my feet, I would consider her enemy for the rest of my life"

Even I would be quite depressed if they did that.

But still, the emotions had to be kept at the bottom of his belly.

"Now let's get to it. What Giva dishes were prepared in Kimmus's Tail Pavilion these days?

"Yes, a juice dish with tau oil, a boiled dish with tarapa, a dish with roasted meat and vegetables - and a dish to hang soy sauce... and then there's Ro-ru no."

For five days this semester, the Lew family was in charge of wholesale food to the inn. "Roll Tino" is a Roll Cabbage hourly dish with Giva ground beef twirled in a Tino similar to a cabbage.

"But I'm sorry you even got 'Roll Tino'. Keep it for your customers."

"Oh, no, I'd rather you eat that one... because other dishes don't make too much if you make less..."

This meant that even "Roll Tino", a limited number of popular products, had been sold out.

Rayna-Lew, who was making sure of the cleavage of the cooking knife borrowed from the cook, looks sorry to see Terrier-Mass.

"Terrier-Mass, shall we reduce the number of dishes from tomorrow? It would be at your expense to offer out copper coins to spare the dishes you could have bought, wouldn't it?

"No. Sooner or later, guests may flow from other inns… and we don't want to disappoint them."

That being said, Terrier-Mass smiled to encourage himself.

"Besides, the extra food will be eaten by innkeepers. It will be a bit of a luxury dinner, but the people who are helping us and others are delighted to be eating dishes that we could buy from the Lew family."

Given the weight of the hardships borne, it was a real whisper of joy.

But I was supposed to be secretly impressed by Terrier-Mass's willingness to think positively at all.

"Then you'll have a juice dish and a boiled dish and then a 'Roll Tino' for the number of people. If it's not enough, I'll cook the steak."

These meals were our reward of the day.

Terrier-Mass was terrified a lot, but even if he said he would help with the dining room, it would be a couple of hours in time. Simply serving Giva meat and Giva dishes bought out of the copper coins should have climbed to a considerable amount for the price.

That's why six of the people by the woods decided to let two eat at a time.

In the meantime, it was finally decided that orders for cooking could also be delivered from the dining room.

Me and Rayna-Lew take separate meals and clear that order with Terrier-Mass more free hands. It seems that the soldiers of Wang Du have not returned yet, and more than half of that order was Giva cooked.

After all, Giva cuisine is popular with the general public. Even "Kimmus's Tail Pavilion" was selling more food in small portions than before, so it was felt that there were no customers who would eat more than one dish per person, but did not incorporate a single Giva dish there.

"Speaking of which, you're not serving 'Giva Curry' today, are you?"

Serving the boiled dish, Terrier-Mass smiled weakly, "Yes," as I asked.

"Exactly, because it would be a waste to make extra money... I decided not to serve it until the Wang Capital people were gone"

Even though it's usually a must-sell menu, it looks like it even gave out the rest of the sale.

Well, I guess that's the only thing that's ever happened if you get 20 seats occupied by soldiers in the king's capital. Moreover, if the noise was caused for two consecutive days, all the more so, the number of customers flowing from other inns was likely to decrease.

All in all, over time, the number of orders keeps increasing.

And at a time when all six people by the woods had finished their meals, Late showed up at the cook.

"The soldiers are back. The meal looks like it's coming."

To the cook, a little nervousness runs through.

In it, Dan-Rutim had one eye shining.

"Did you finally show up? I just want to take a peek, what do you think?

"No, you should avoid showing up in a groan. I'd like to see you for a moment within today, but let's take a little longer."

"Right. It might be quicker to talk about it if you drink too much."

While stating so, Dan-Lutim also did not attempt to defy Ziza-Lou.

Sounds a lot better listened to than it did at Easter. Maybe Dan-Rutim was also thinking heavier about this assignment than he could see from the outside.

In the meantime, orders are delivered one after the other by the women in the service.

I guess the soldiers of the King's Capital have finally started their meal. Until just now it was quiet, but there are signs of a bustle coming from the dining room.

A large quantity of fruit liquor was first delivered, followed by an order for Caron and Kimmus dishes.

In the inn, fruit liquor is put up for sale in combination with fruit juice and dried kiki juice. That appropriation was only known to Terrier-Mass, so the dish was to be taken by me and Rayna-Lew.

"I apologize for the inconvenience I caused you because I just couldn't get to it. Thank you very much, everyone by the woods."

And the young daughter of the servant said that she seemed sincerely sorry.

This round-bodied daughter sent the roasted meat to the soldiers of the king's capital.

Still, without escaping, she still works at Kimmus' Tail Pavilion today.

I'm sure both Terrier-Mass and Milan-Mas are bound by a strong bond. Thinking like that, I smiled and said, "It's all yours."

Whether the opponent is a soldier in the king's capital or not, it doesn't change what we're supposed to do. I just finish the dishes right, just like I do for the other customers.

Available for sale at Kimmus' Tail Pavilion are contributions such as "Stir-fried Caron Meat", "Stewed Caron Meat with Tau Oil Tailoring", "Stir-fried Kimmus Meat" and "Omelette with Kimmus Meat".

"Finely Stir-Fry Caron Meat" is stir-fried with Tino, Aria, Pra, and Moyashi when Onda, after beating the hard foot meat of the caron and crushing the fiber, then finely chopping it to the limit even more. The base of the flavor was fruit liquor and myrmu, and I also used a little sugar and tau oil.

"Braised Caron Meat Tailored with Tau Oil" is a tau oil with added sugar, mammalian vinegar and fruit liquor and is carefully simmered. The vegetables used are Chach, Nennon and Shima.

Caron's foot meat, which is harder than Gibba's, is also softer than a meltdown if you take the time to heat it up. Terrier-Mass kept this for me during the day, so I just rewarmed it.

"Kimmus Meat" was just upgraded, and these days vanilla similar to Lamampa fruit and lemongrass had been condensed into the ground beef.

The fruit of Lamampa has a peanut-like texture and flavor. Kimmus has few cartilages in his bones, so he decided to add a bite with Lamampa's fruit.

Vanilla like lemongrass was not compatible with a sweet spicy sauce with a tau oil base or a dried kiki dip reminiscent of plum, so it was adopted. Chicken Meatballs will be provided in small pieces and in pairs with different flavors.

"Kimmus Meat Omelet" is a simple finish made from ground beef, aria and pra.

However, I use all of the milk fat to bake the ingredients and their flavors are great. Taste is, of course, my direct ketchup.

Mass father and daughter, who insisted on not cooking, were also able to cook this dish without difficulty now.

"Hmm. Even dishes like Karon and Kimmus can be made just like Asta and Sister Raina usually do."

Rudd-Lou, who stood near the window and wanted to see what was going on outside, called me that way.

"Of course," Rayna-Lew nods with a smile.

"Because this dish, too, is what Asta taught the Terrier-Masses. Me and Sheila-Lou have been watching their moves, and they let us make them together, so it's normal to be able to make them."

"Ah, well. I used to get out of the street business on the way and tour the inn. I kind of miss it."

It was not until Cycleus and the others were still alive that Rudd-Lou and the others were visiting the Inn together as escorts. By Easter, the custom had already disappeared, so it was natural to feel nostalgic.

All in all, no matter how many dishes were delivered to the guest seats, no complaints came in.

If you realize it, a lot of time has passed. More than an hour after arriving at Kimmus's Tail Pavilion, it felt like half an hour had passed since the soldiers of Wang Du returned.

"You're getting a little calm. The soldiers of the King's capital also seemed modest for twenty men."

"Yes. Either way, if you ask for it, it will get cold, so I generally seem to order it in two parts, half at a time. … by now, are you interested in gambling while drinking fruit liquor"

So will Giva food be ordered as a punishment game again today?

Thinking of it that way, Late showed up for the first time in a hisa rash.

"The soldiers from Wang Du entered an order for Giva food. Something to eat."

After stating so, Late smiled with a grin.

"I'll tell you what, if I serve raw roasted meat again, I'll make a hole in the cafeteria wall."

You don't have to laugh when you're mad, do you?

When Rudd-Lou called, Late looked back at you, with the same expression.

"I'm not mad at you. It's just until you're feeling a little frustrated."

"Then you don't need to laugh any more. It's not my brother Giza.... Oh, I'm just kidding. Don't get mad."

Aside from Rudd-Lou's light mouth, it seemed left to this one to decide which Giva dishes to serve.

"Ready to eat dishes, huh? Is grilled meat more desirable than 'roll tino' with ground beef or soft-boiled dishes?

"Right. I don't think that's a problem either."

After a small consultation with Raina-Lou, the dedication was fixed as Guiba's BBQ.

It is a dish where you simply cook the rose meat of Giva, cut so thin that it is cooked with salt and pico leaves. It was Aria, Tino and Onda who baked them together, and none of the ingredients were like worrying about raw baking.

"Perhaps you deserve a Giva dish to speak of for the first time. I don't know if it's in the human mouth of the king's capital."

"Whatever sticks, it doesn't matter! Because if you don't think it's a good idea, you're not going to be punished either!

Dan-Rutim is making his nose snap again at the scent of newly baked giva meat.

I tried to cook Gibba's rose meat more carefully than usual, without burning it.

Place it on a wooden plate and spin a piece of Uster sauce, and you're done.

Then Ai-Fa, who was watching the work closely, crumbled.

"It's also ridiculous to pay for copper coins for punishment and such. And the fact that it's Giva's cooking still makes me uncomfortable."

"There's no other way. Guests were originally free to handle the food they bought."

All I could do was despise someone in my heart to imitate such absurdity.

Think of it that way, and I'll make Rayt serve the finished dish.

"I finished it. It's definitely not raw, so put it out in peace."

"Thank you. … I am truly sorry that Asta and I have asked for this role."

"Fine. For me too, Kimmus's Tail Pavilion is an important place."

Late nodded one, leaving the cook with the wood plate in his hand.

The effect of the return of Wang Du soldiers or orders from other customers have also stopped. Sometimes we were so bored that we were asked to add fruit liquor.

"And then, if I finished cooking the other half of the soldiers, would that be a paragraph of work for you today?

"Yes. After that, I have nothing wrong with me alone.... Um, thank you so much for today. What the hell am I supposed to thank you for..."

and tears twitched in Terrier-Mass's eyes.

Rudd-Lou speaks out, "Whoa, whoa."

"There's nothing to cry about, is there? Besides, you said thank you was enough, right?

"Yes, but after all, I'm sorry..."

"Don't worry about anything. Whatever the situation, I'm very happy to help Kimmus' Tail Pavilion."

It was my, unworthy heart.

Kimmus's Tail Pavilion is doing me a lot of favors, and - it was the most familiar thing for me once to cook while listening to customers' orders in these cooks.

I look at the leather bag I put down at my feet.

Among them, my father's santoku knife was kept in great care.

Now that we have Jagal's meat cutting knife and Sim's vegetable cutting knife, the opportunity to use the Sandeok knife is almost lost. Still, I kept checking the condition of this santoku knife every day so that I could carry it with me.

"... you remember the old days?

And, ai-fa calls me in a low voice.

I nodded to you, "Yeah."

"I used to work in these cafeterias, too. It feels like years ago now."

Ai-Fa only said, "Well."

But his eyes were lit with a very gentle light.

And - to the pretend, signs of disturbance are approaching.

"Please wait. I don't want to get stuck in there."

Late's well-traveled voice is heard from the entrance to the cook.

Occasionally, I-Fa moved me into a cover-up position, and Terrier-Mass and Raina Luu were also to be protected by Rud-Luu and Giza Luu, respectively.

"Oh, my God, I don't think you're the innkeeper. You have all your faces."

The voice of a man containing laughter echoes.

That was the first time I saw it in a day, Doug the Hundred Lions long.

"Obviously, this is an act that breaks the laws of Genos. Shall I call for a guard?

Late, who slipped through Doug's flank and entered the cook, quickly stands in front of him.

"Oh, don't stick around. How dare you scold me for not imitating yourself? If only they were willing to scold us."

With that stated, Doug has looked around at us with glowing eyes like a raptor.

"Nevertheless, this is, right? Was a hunter by the woods such a gathering of monsters?"

"Who are you? It seems that it is against the law for a guest to set foot here."

Giza-Lou asks questions in a calm voice.

Doug twisted his mouth.

"You've heard it from your boy, haven't you? I'm Doug, the hundred lion leader who binds the soldiers. The food was so delicious, I wanted to thank you for it."

"Then you didn't come in with malice, did you?

"Oh. I was hoping I'd meet your boy. My husband must have sustained a hand wound in the inn here, and the kid over there was kind enough to make out with this inn. So I thought it would be strangely good to eat any dish today, so I put a little hit on it."

"Asta, can I help you?

Ai-Fa asks with a pushy hissing voice.

Peeping softly from the side, Ai-Fa's eyes were burning a hunter's flame in a mess.

"That's awesome, you. Speaking of which, Asta from Fa's house was invited into the woods by a single female hunter."

"Answer the question. Do you have any business with Asta, too?

"I don't have an errand to run. At least for now."

Doug put on a successful arm as he laughed.

"Actually, I lost a bet with my men earlier. So I didn't like it, they were going to eat Giva's cooking... but this guy surprised me because it was delicious."

"... what the hell is that?

"Yeah, but it's all so delicious that my men don't try to believe my words. So let me order a giva dish for the number of people"

That said, Doug took only one step back.

"In this inn, you deal in all kinds of Giva dishes, don't you? Prepare it for the right number of people.... but if it doesn't taste good, I promised to pay for it alone. Don't give me raw roasted meat, okay?

Without waiting for this reply, Doug disappeared.

Late breathes all the time and looks back at us.

"I apologize for disturbing you. I don't think there are any lies in the content of the words, so could you serve us a dish?

"Oh, yeah, of course I don't mind that..."

More than that, I'm worried about how the i-fa's are doing.

Even after Doug disappeared, they were all dissipating signs of strangulation.

In it, Giza-Lou snapped pompously.

"Is that the man named Doug, the hundred lions long? I'm sure it's a great deal of skill... but any hunter on this scene would be able to retreat alone"

"Oh, I thought so, too. Lyada-Lou had no legs, but if he was a hunter with a lot of power, he wouldn't lose."

"Hmmm...... but from that guy, I feel some unusual signs. You're never supposed to lose, but you never thought it was dangerous to have a knife with him."

Ziza-Lou looked back slowly at Dan-Lutim.

"Dan-Rutim, if you are a hunter of war, do you know why?

"Hmm? Of course I can only imagine."

and Dan-Rutim wandered his mandibular mustache.

There is a look on his face that looks like he wants something interesting.

"He's probably... good at killing people?

"... good at killing people?

"Mm-hmm. Our knife is not to slay people, it's to slay Giva. So, I guess I'm also a man who brushed his arms to fight people when I visited the Leiris family... I wonder if a man named Doug earlier is actually a man who has slashed and dumped many people"

"Right," he answered, "it was Leyt.

"As I told Asta, they are the elite troops of the King's Capital. In fact, I have crossed the blades many times with the armies of Mahydra and the Grand Duchy of Zerad. If you were a hundred lion captains leading a hundred soldiers on the front line - the number of human beings you slaughtered and dumped could be as many as a hundred or two."

"Hmm. Then it's natural to wear unusual signs. If you interact with people like that, you don't know where they'll shrink their legs."

That said, Dan-Rutim laughed gahaha.

"No, I let you see something interesting! Forgive the human opponent for interacting with life, but it's as comfortable as even rare beasts have seen. This guy is a total pain in the ass!

"Why are you laughing when you're in trouble?"

Rudd-Lou was frowning at it as if it didn't seem funny.

Giza-Lou looks in the direction Doug has left, with the expression of seriousness itself.

And Ai-Fa was - that's what was burning blue eyes so hard, like a carnivore who had his prey in front of him.
