607 Day of the White Moon ② - Loose Happiness

Even that day, the stall business went extremely well.

Tul-din's confectionery stalls also have an unbeatable queue of other stalls. A lot of women and toddlers living in the dormitory town were also seen, but it doesn't even seem like there are that few male guests. It seems to have the support of a wide audience, without distinction between west and south or east.

"Hung. I think the momentum in the stalls over here has weakened for the guests to gather at the stalls over there, sir. Anyway, I feel like it's going to affect sales. Yo."

Zwei-Rutim and others had freshly stated that.

I was taking care of Malfira-Naham in the next stall, and I turn to you and make him laugh, "I'm sure he'll be fine".

"There are so many words that sweet things are different bellies, so many people are eating 'Gigi Man' after eating Giba's dishes as they have been. That's exactly what Jagal architects look like."

"Not everyone's about as big a food as those guys, Sho? If you eat a sweet bun, don't you just get hungry, sir?"

"Then you should make a sales promotion effort so that you can't beat the confectionery stalls."

Ever since I suggested opening a stall to Tour-Din, that's what I've been thinking.

"Sure, this might also intensify the competition for sales once the others start serving confectionery stalls as well. Still, I don't know what to be creative about so the guests won't leave."

"Be creative, what do you do, sa?

"That, of course, will have to compete with the content of the dish. If you sell novel dishes, you'll be able to attract people who've been in other stalls before."

"Hun. Then there is no curtain for Atashi, sir. Yo deciding to snap Raina-Lou or Sheila-Lou's ass."

Then Raina-Lou, who worked in a stall on the other side of Zwei-Rutim, turned to me laughing joyfully.

"But if we're going to sell a new dedication, we have to get Zwei-Rutim to calculate it again. I'm sorry to bother you, thank you, Zwei-Rutim."

"Hum! Can't we calculate for ourselves about the cost of the ingredients we used, sir"

"That's the hard part.... although I'm sure if it's Malfira-Naham, we can do such a job as well."

In the long run, I could see that Raina-Lou would have a much more serious face.

Murphyra-Naham, who haunts me in the meantime, continues to bake the ingredients of "Kel Grill" without realizing anything.

"... Sure, if there were a bunch of women around the head about in Soytz, it would be a lot of use in the job of selling meat, sir. You don't want to go around to your job?

"Huh? Wah, it's me? Well, what is it? hadn't listened."

"That's all I get around my head, so I'm asking you if you're willing to go around to selling meat at the market, sa. That would make Atashi a lot easier, too, sir."

"Oh, well, that's, uh... well, I was hoping to learn my number... but I'm sorry, but I'm not going to be able to help."

With his head bowed in a frightened manner, Malfira-Naham pulled the fire-through material over the edge of the iron plate. No matter how disturbing your mind, it is not Malfira-Naham who makes mistakes with it.

"Hung. You attracted good ladies, sir, Asta"

"Hey, I just want to thank the Ravitz people. But the work on the market is going better, isn't it?

"Well, it's been twenty days since the parents' meeting, so it's just a story that it got a little better, yo. If you switched so many pompous humans, you wouldn't be able to pull out your balls for long."

Zwei-Rutim had wrinkles around his nose, but Oura-Rutim, who was helping Raina-Rou with his job, was smiling graciously.

"But that's how, thanks to Zwei doing his different jobs, Rutim's house would have gained even more wealth, wouldn't it? That's supposed to be a proud story, isn't it?

"Hung. No matter how much bronze coins you simmer, you'll disappear in tototoss and hounds anyway, sa"

"Before that, the parents told me you could start with whatever you wanted. You're thirteen, too, so why don't you buy some new ornaments?

Zwei-Rutim kept his lower lip protruding and didn't try to answer anything.

It's a very casual conversation, but it feels like Oura-Rutim's voice is filled with sentiments of mercy. I wanted to sincerely congratulate them on being able to live as a family in the same house, even if they were cut off from the brink of blood.

Together, the peak of Jomtien has passed, and the commerce of the stalls is about to be last-minute.

The effect of the confectionery stall, or the absence of twenty architects who are good at it, is a sign that selling out prepared dishes is likely to take until a certain time. "Speaking of which," Yun-Sudra, who had received the daily dedication of "Green Pepper Meat Silk," turned to me.

"The architects are having lunch in Sung's settlement, aren't they? Who has that preparation?

"Oh, the northern settlement ladies took it on. You didn't have to worry about Tul-din because he was serving such a fine meal at the Parents' Conference."

"Really? I can't believe the women of the northern settlements are going to get that kind of job… really, it wasn't conceivable a while ago"

I'm sure the head commander, Sphilla-Zaza, is taking it. Maybe George-Zazas, the spectators, take snacks on the same spot as the old men. Imagining such a diagram, I was quite smiling.

And, where I thought about that, a new figure stands in front of the stall.

"Welcome," he said reflexively, and then I realized it was a people of old knowledge.

"That... this is also a somewhat unusual combination"

"Yes, Castle Town, I was just leaving, and I went to see him, so I visited him with him."

Bring two tall men and women, wrapped in a traveling coat. What was it, Sanjula and Arishna?

Sanjula smiles calmly, and Alishna looks at my face with no expression. Seeing these two names standing side by side was probably the first time I've tried it.

"Um... Were you two acquainted?

"Yes. I didn't get a chance to speak intimately, but I know my face. Recently, Refraia, same dinner party, to be invited, more"

Refraia was also allowed to socialize as a nobleman. I guess that means more chances to show your face, even Arishna, who seems to be invited to dinner parties everywhere. In my memory, Leflaia and Alishna have been around for about a tea party so far.

"Whatever, thank you for coming to the store. It's good to see you, too, because Sanjula couldn't face you at the tea party before this."

"Yes. I apologize for not being able to greet you. But from behind, I was watching how Asta and the others were doing. Refraia, how well you are and how you have been able to get it back, I am deeply grateful"

"It was a great pleasure to have this one deepen our interaction with Refraia. We hope you'll be able to join us at some other meeting."

"Thank you," Sanjula smiled, closing her eyes.

Instead, Alishna stands on her feet.

"Ah, good luck with Arishna the other day, too. Today was the day to deliver 'Giva Curry' and you went out of your way to buy it?

"Yes, I felt careless, I thought it was necessary to cook Giva"

"Mindless feelings?

"Yes. Tomorrow, with the people of the South, is it a feast? Plus, I can't participate, I'm careless."

Deal and Larvis had been decided to attend safely, but they couldn't even suggest inviting Arishna. This would have been the only thing, because she has no connection or itching with the facades of the architect, on top of being a people of the east.

"I apologize for that verse. If you ever get a chance again, let me invite you to the woods."

"Do you have the opportunity?

"Huh? No, well, I don't have that planned yet... I'll let you know when I get the chance"

"… opportunity, I will wait"

With no expression at all, Alishna had a very unfortunate eye.

Sanjula, who was watching this interaction, leans slightly strangely toward her calf.

"Arishna, you, freedom of movement, don't you?

"Yes. Freedom of movement, is it?

"Yes. You, noble, no. Your will, your woodland, your visit, your inability?

Alishna silenced for a while, then replied, "I don't know".

"It's just me, I'm busy. Long time, castle town, away, difficult."

"Astrology work, busy, listening. So, then, what do you think? Outside the castle town, revealing the night, is it forbidden?

"I don't know. Until now, I've never wished for it. … such a wish, offering, distressing, I think"

She stands for the Marquis de Genos. If that makes me wish to reveal the night outside the castle town, will I still need a daunting escort or something?

(Sure, there's something about Arishna that I'm not sure where she stands. This is how I come to Accommodation Town by myself, so I guess I'm not so severely restricted in my actions... the truth is, what do you think)

That's what I thought, but I couldn't find an answer.

Or Arishna herself doesn't seem to have a very clear picture of it. Appreciate the fact that you're sheltering yourself out of the way, and I've never made that request before, and so on.

"... Speaking of which, does Arishna have a way of protecting herself?

Alishna said, "Yes?" and has turned a quiet eye.

"No, the people in the east are supposed to protect themselves, so they don't need an escort to make the long journey, do they? I wonder if Alishna, who lived a wandering life until she came to Genos, still has the means to defend herself."

"Knowledge of poisonous grass, I have it with me. My grandfather, he told me."

Arishna replied so in a voice with a lack of emotion.

"However, currently, poisonous grass, to have, is forbidden. Otherwise, I guess I can't keep you close. Genos, when I became a guest, all the poisonous grass, disposed of."

"I understand. Assassination, it must be horrible."

With a very soothing smile, Sanjula uttered a horrible word.

"Refraia, socializing, becoming forgiven, me, the noble mansion, accompanying, more. Each time, poisonous grass, you don't have it or you're alert. Me, dealing with poisonous grass, I don't know, but explanation, it's always hard"

Indeed, except for the fact that the expression is a lot richer, it will be so alarming because it is Sanjula, which can only be seen by the people of the east, no matter where it comes from. But he is a clean western people, and what he specializes in is swordsmanship.

"When that happens, I figured Arishna's spending time outside the castle town would get more or less dangerous. I've also invited people from Inn Town and Dalaim to the woods side in the form of just dinner and going back to their homes when they sleep... Castle Town, the castle gate closes at night."

Then there's no way to reveal the night in a forest settlement, but what makes it so much liver is whether or not the Marquis Genos will allow it.

"... Asta, I'm sorry I bothered you. Don't worry about it."

And Arishna lay her eyes down on the lid, and said so.

"Me, my body, I'm weak, so wherever I go, I think I'll inconvenience you, I think. It must have been a woodland settlement, wanting to be invited, thinking, not sucking."

"No, never such a thing..."

"I think, when I recruit, I think again. At that time, if you talk, if you listen, it's enough. Now, opportunity, I want to wait, I think"

That being said, Alishna raised her face, as she had regained her mind.

"Giva dish, I'll have it. This way, what is it?

"This is a baked dish made with something called Jagal's Kerr root. Didn't Arishna say anything yet?

"Similar dishes, have eaten, have. But the scent, I don't think so. One thing, please.... and" Giva Curry, "please"

"Yes. I've already given it to the Count Dalaim family for today, is that okay?

"Yes. There, it's dinner. Day, night, 'Giva Curry', edible, happy."

I took orders from Arishna and Sanjula, and we cooked. Sanjula was preparing a folding box, so I packed the dish into it.

"Oh, there's also a confectionery stall out there, how about that one?

"Yes. Tour-din, is that a treat? There, I enjoyed it, and I did."

Described to Arishna, who was listening at the tea party, Sanjula also decided to buy 'Gigiman'. The carefully prepared folder also seems to have filled up quickly.

"That's an amazing amount. Isn't that for two?

"Yes. It's for three. Refraia, it's me, Chiffon-Cher."

"Oh Chiffon-Cher's...... I'm sorry I haven't had a chance to exchange words with her very slowly either"

"Really? Asta, Lefreia's mansion, I hope you can invite me... unnecessary copper coins, grabbing, forbidden."

That said, Sanjula smiled again.

If a nobleman calls for a Kamadoku number by the woods, they are always paid a reward for copper coin. I guess that means that such luxury is hard to forgive to the Count Turan family, which is in the midst of rebuilding its finances.

"But eventually, Asta, I want to invite you, he said. That day, to come, me, I hope."

"Yes, I hope so too"

At the end of such a conversation, Sanjula tried to turn herself around.

Along the way, I look back at Arishna, who holds many Giva dishes.

"You, you're going to eat. On the way home, are you okay?

"Yes. Worry, no use. Protect yourselves, no, but the people of the east, the outlaws who attack, rarely."

Sanjula nodded, "So long," and finally shook a grin before walking away. Arishna also walks with him on the way, then settles down in the Blue Sky Dining Room.

"Ugh... I've never seen the people of the east talk so much."

Murphyra-Naham, who had always kept his silence, said so freshly as he baked the last ingredient up on an iron plate.

"Yeah. But it seems like a lot of people like to chat to the people of the east, too. That's what you said about Schmiral.... Oh, by the way, Sanjula is a people of the west."

"Yes. You're from Count Turan's house, the Lord's escort, right? Oh, I'd love to talk to you. … and the story that I once imitated Asta."

"Right. But I was able to reconcile myself with the people of Count Turan's family, above all."

You can't imagine that the people who are going to and from Accommodation Town are the same people who once knew me.

(I was exposed to Sanjula... but it was the white moon, about the fifth day)

Since that time, it has been a gentle and gentle sanjula on the outside.

But I don't need to explore the back of that smile anymore. I was truly delighted.

And then after a while, when we finally sold out the street food, we decided to go back to the woods.

Today's study group is at Fa's house, and the content is the final check for tomorrow's feast. Only the members attending the feast will be convened and the steps will be put in place.

In that, Malfira-Naham was swimming his eyes full of strength.

"Ho, ho, are you sure it's okay that I and others have joined you? Wow, I can't help you..."

"Everyone in the street business has decided to participate. Enjoy the feast with Lily-Lavitz."

Even if I answer that way, Malfira-Naham is more upset than usual. With the joy of being able to mouth a feast dish and the pressure of having to cook it, it is a way of feeling disturbed by asthma.

"Before Asta and the others get back from Inn Town, we'll finish our visit. You do what Asta tells you to do."

The elderly women of Fou, laughing casually, were encouraging Malfira-Naham. Murphyra-Naham, more humble than anyone, but with a definite sense of power, has already earned quite a bit of popularity.

"We are also very pleased because for the first time we can have a feast with the Astas. I can't wait for tomorrow, I can't stop."

It was the women of Gaz who had so stated.

That was the other eye of the feast. This was supposed to be the first attempt at a feast attended by humans from so many different clans by the woods.

"Let's do our best tomorrow to please the architects. Nice to meet you all."

In closing my greeting, the women went back to their homes.

Only me and Tia were left behind. Tia, who was pulling into the wall to stay out of the way, approached me with cautious footsteps.

"Before the feast, that's always a lot of noise. But Tia's happy because Asta seems to be having fun."

"Yeah. I'm sorry Tia couldn't join us."

When Polearth, an adjunct to the mediator, stood up for the answer that it would be inappropriate to have the Red Wildlings present at a feast that would deepen rapprochement, even for the people of the South. I was allowed to be present at dinner when I invited the ladies to Fou and Luu, but that seems to have been the critical border line.

"If that's the law of the outside world, Tia has nothing else to obey. In the house, I pray that no disaster approaches Asta"

"Yeah. Nothing strange is going to happen, so Tia can rest in peace."

"Um," Tia was honestly nodding.

There, the voice of Ai-Fa echoes.

"We're home. Dinner is about to be ready."

"Ah, welcome back, Ai-Fa. How was it in the woods?

"Hmm. I could capture one giva today, but it's a lot older, so I can't use it for business"

While stating so, Ai-Fa was somewhat of a satisfactory face.

"But Durmoor's work was brilliant. No matter how deep green you are, you can run just like the flat ground. Quick as an arrow."

"Oh well. Good luck with Durmua and Brave."

The two hounds stand quietly at the feet of Ey-Fa. Further behind it was the figure of Zilbe, so I guess Ai-Fa stopped by the motherhouse on the way.

"Then it will take me at the end of Gibba. Do you have any parts you need?

"Oh, well, let me use the tan. The gut is... We're running out of time from now on, so why don't we take a look at it next time?"

"That's a tongue. Got it."

It is a peaceful conversation, as usual.

But that serenity makes me feel full. Naturally, I am looking forward to the feast that I am refraining from tomorrow, and these casual routines are irreplaceable to me.

(These days, I suppose, are called happiness. It hasn't been half a moon since that earthquake... but we're happy, aren't we?)

I'm sure you'll be able to experience it again tomorrow in different ways.

I decided to rub my supper for Ai-Fa, who is more important than anyone else, chewing on the happiness of my peaceful everyday life.
