676 Diplomat Fermes ① ~ Visit ~

Melfried returned to Genos with the men of the king's capital - and it was only on the last day of the ash moon that the newspaper was brought to us.

It is nine days after the day Silhouel's Hurricane Party struck by the woods, and five days after Dells put in place a contract for commerce with Polearth and others.

But we've been foretold that story for days.

This time, it was customary to send a messenger of the first touch.

Marquis Malstein, Marquis of Genos, naturally shared that information with the people by the woods. Melfried and the people of the king's capital are due to arrive on the 31st day of the ash moon, so they let us know through Camua-Josh that they intend to do so.

"Melfried just arrived safely. This time, two dignitaries are accompanying you as diplomats."

It was still Camua-Josh who said so on the day of the 31st. He said he had seen Melfried and the others entering the castle from morning to castle town.

Currently it is about a little past Jomtien, and the stall commerce is very tight. Camua-Josh was slipping his customers' ears around to the back of the stall, and I was listening to the words as I proceeded with my work hand.

"In the meantime, let the soldiers stay in the lodging town this time, it looks like they didn't give you any orders, and first of all, it was a tranquil beginning."

"Right. Now I appreciate the friendly people, but what about the neighborhood?

Camua-Josh gave a troubled voice, "Hmm."

"I haven't looked at them yet, either. However, the earlier messenger that came the other day was delivered in the name of diplomat Fermes, right? But the man must have been the blood of the Duke's house... but I'm not that familiar with the nobles of the King's capital."

"Really? You don't even know Camus."

"Yeah, well, if it's about a name and a little bit of weather, though I hear it. If I remember correctly, I'm talking about a strange personality."

When I questioned him about what kind of character he was, Camua-Josh raised his voice softly and laughed.

"I don't know that far, but I guess you're one of the nobles. I wish that character were revealed as impartial to civilians, but now, what is it?"

Then Sheila-Lou, who worked in the next stall, turned a somewhat worrying eye.

"So you're already talking about meeting with the chiefs and Asta tomorrow, right? I just got to Genos and it seems a lot steeper..."

"Yeah. If you try over there, you want to clean up one of the people by the woods first. Well, I don't think I ever got over it early because I'm the one who has to stand up to it."

As a people by the woods, I intended to show my sincere will by baptizing Western gods.

He is a forest people who are transferring God from the Southern God and who, as a people of the kingdom, find themselves in a life that is only peculiar, but he hopes to live righteously in his heart as a inhabitant of Genos. That sentiment should have been conveyed to the King of Selva through the last auditor, Dreg, and the messenger on the Genos side, Melfried.

Marquis Malstein, Marquis of Genos, the monarch of the people by the woods, also fully supports it. Forestside people weigh weird learnings and place themselves in the lives of free-flowing people, but they are never the barbarians or anything else that doesn't make sense. The certainty with the Count Turan family has now been beautifully dissolved - and that's how he should have explained it.

"Perhaps an official messenger will be sent to the Lou family later. People like me won't be allowed to be present, but I pray that Asta and the others can bond correctly with the Kings."

"Yes, thank you"

"Well, I guess I'll have some food, too. Late seems to have bought food safely."

When I noticed, Late had two wooden plates in his hand and stood up for a moment. While Camua-Josh was secretly talking to us, Late was standing in a ramen stall.

"Haven't you finished talking yet? If this cools down, the flavor will go away, right?

"Oh, I'll be right there, so keep your seat. Asta, give him two names, please."

"Yes, thank you every time"

I was in charge of the daily dedication stall today. The dedication is a miso marinated giva meat.

The tau bean miso that Dels brought to Genos was set up the other day so that it could be bought in the lodging town.

Today is the first time I have sold this miso pickled grill, but my reputation was better.

Unlike the miso grill previously made, it is a dish baked after the ingredients have been soaked in a miso for a day. Of course, Myrmu and Kerr root, sugar, hobo oil, and Nyatta distilled liquor are added to the miso to taste. If you cook the same soaked Tino, Nennon, etc. together on an iron plate, you're done.

Like other dishes, this is also served with baked potatoes, but, to be honest, it was a single dish that we would like to have served with Chaska. Chaska, however, is expensive and thin in Genos today. I was looking forward to the day as we talked about a massive new chaska arriving soon.

"Yes, thank you for waiting. For two people, the price is three red copper coins"

Waiting for the line of customers to break off, I asked Kamua-Josh to serve the dishes.

"Thank you," Camua-Josh said, lowering his acquaintance.

"The Lars are good, but I like the dish with this miso. Oh, what a fragrant scent."

"Haha. I will be serving a variety of miso dishes on a daily basis for a while so let me know what you think if you like"

"Yeah. See you later, then."

The footsteps are also light, and Camua-Josh walks away. Sheila-Lou was giggling at that neat stand-up behavior.

"Camua-Josh is a fun guy. It surprises me because it has the power to beat the brave Lu family."

"Yeah, really. I'm Jen, the bottomless one."

I've been saved by Camua-Josh the other day. If he hadn't driven, the hunters of the Lou family wouldn't have been able to rush under the Hurricane Party.

With all that noise, it was only Silhouel who returned his soul. Although it was said that Tia and the people of the north had borne a deep burden and that some of the soldiers had been wounded, the dead still had not to be released. Thus the seventeen bandits, with the exception of Silhouel, should still be severely confined in the prison of the castle town.

Nine days have passed since such a commotion, and the lodging town has a completely peaceful air back.

The guard's protection was returned to the ordinary, and many of the pedestrians left in the western direction. but it is no different to the busy, as it is Genos, which is visited by hiccups and merchants. Our prepared dishes could have been sold out exactly on time, and the Lars and others were still selling out 120 meals of ramen.

It is such a visit, a group of the king's capital.

This time, however, he is visiting Genos in his capacity as a diplomat, not an auditor. That fact was giving me the anticipation and relief to whisper in my heart.

(It was Malstein who suggested to Genos that we should put diplomats, not auditors, to watch the trend permanently...)

According to Malstein's words, a diplomat seconded by the King's Capital is placed in the territory adjacent to hostile countries such as Mahdra and the Grand Duchy of Zerad. They say that it is not only a function of negotiating with hostile countries, but also of monitoring the people in that territory not to confer them on hostile countries.

So, Genos seems to have a similar history of establishment with the Grand Duchy of Zerado. There seemed to be a commonality in the part where the nobles who had expelled the Wang capital were to have more prosperity in their hands than expected in the border area.

Genos is therefore alerted to the people of the king's capital. Genos also seems to have such concerns that one day he will fly the rebel flag like Zerad did.

But there's no darkness behind us. If we are going to risk the fate of Genos, should we not use auditors to coarsely look, but diplomats to permanently watch the trend? That was Malstein's claim.

(I think Malstein's statement is legitimate, and it should be in line with the views of the people by the woods. So all we have to do is... see if we can have a healthy relationship with the people of Wang Du.)

As a first step, the three chiefs of Moribe and I will be summoned to Castle Town tomorrow.

As far as I'm concerned, as a member of the people of the woods, I was in a position to do everything in my power to maintain a peaceful life.

"Hey, Asta. You're still thriving today!

And it was Yumi who came to visit there.

Luia, who came with me, is also smiling at me with a grin. After the Accommodation Town Exchange, she was totally out of fear, too.

"There you are. It's a new dish with miso again today."

"No, I can smell it! Ah, it looks delicious."

After stating it that way, Yumi looked a little shanky.

"But you're still cooking with dishes today. Ah. You know, you didn't think about cooking this guy in poiton?

"Huh? Right. There are more convenient aspects to dishing."

Of course, if you use a dish, you'll have a lot of trouble washing it, but the distribution of your work is well established, so there's no problem. And there are many advantages beyond that.

"For example, in the case of 'Kerr Grill', you'd have to bake a Poitan round one per serving of food, wouldn't you? But the potatoes that accompany the dishes on the wood are cut out and served with the bigger baked potatoes, so it's pretty easy to look down.... and the fact that wooden dishes are more juicy and can be provided is a great strength."

"Mm-hmm. Ah. I'd like to feed my father some miso dishes, but I can't bring them home from dishes."

"Hmm? Why would you want Samus to eat a dish of miso?

"Well, it's decided to remind you of the deliciousness of the miso."

And, Yumi put her arms together under her assertive chest.

"My dad's one, I don't really try to buy a miso! It's the same price as tau oil, so there's no need to be reluctant. Say," Wouldn't it be a big loss if it sold out, "and you really have a tiny butthole?"

Next to me, the Matua women were blinking their eyes. The woodland ladies can't resist nasty things, so I guess they're surprised at Yumi's casual words. I decided to laugh "haha".

"Sams is a discreet man, isn't he? Then why don't you let Yumi bring a wooden dish?

"Huh? Then you'll put the dishes on that plate?

"Of course I do. Didn't you see that's how I sold that" Seat of the Gamleys "to you guys on Easter? And then there's the people who come from Castle Town with the containers."

"Ah, shit! I totally forgot! Well, I guess I'll grab a plate from home."

"Uh, are we going to go back and get it? I'm hungry."

Saying in a sweet voice, Luia pulled Yumi's arm. Yumi laughs, "What the heck?" and snaps his arm around Luia's neck.

"Don't give a woman such a flattering voice. You have a lot of bruises."

"That's not true."

"That's what I'm talking about! Well, no. I'll bring you a plate, turn it tomorrow. - That?

and Yumi's gaze was shifted sideways. Chasing after that, I see a pair of feathery cloaks with a travel hood.

"Uh, you're a real one after all! You're such a hiccup!

"If you think someone's making a scene, Yumi. Ah. Yeah, hissing."

Dial smiled unconsciously as he removed the hood. These are totally intentional, but the chances of showing their faces are so limited.

So, Larvis, the escort, is watching the two reunions with an unfathomable face. Louis was hiding behind Yumi's back, fearing the hiccups and the long sword he had lowered from his waist.

"Is Yumi where you're going to buy it? Or did you already eat it?

"I'm going to stand by with Asta and buy some food."

"Then let's eat together. We've been eating in those seats lately."

"Heh, yeah! Yeah, let's eat. Let's eat!... Oh, my daughter is my friend Louis. Louis, these people are from the south doing business in Castle Town, and Dial and -- uh, who were you?

"It's Larvis. I don't have any love for you, but stay close."

The encounter between Larvis and Louis was quite novel.

but larvis is just silent and saluting, and luia and others have completely shrunk. Unlike their cheerful counterparts, they are two introverts.

"Uh, but before that, I had a talk with Asta, too, right? Until that's over, can I have a moment?

"Yeah, sure. But is this some sort of a preposterous story?

"No, well, sort of."

With that stated, Dial has looked at me with a serious look there.

"You've already been around the Inn Town, haven't you? The Kingdoms are here again."

"Oh, yeah. We're going to be called to Castle Town tomorrow."

"Uh, really?!?" And Yumi shouted out loud, so I let my finger stand in front of my mouth.

"It's not a formal story yet, so keep it a secret. But sooner or later, they'll be called."

"But I thought you reconciled with the Kingdoms. The nobleman who tried to imitate you was captured as a sinner, wasn't he?

It is about the smallworker of Talon, who arbitrarily tried to anger the people of Malstein and the woodland. Not even a sinner, but it was seen as an act of vengeance against the kingdom, and he was to be held captive by the warlord Ruid of the king's capital.

"Yeah. But I still don't know if this one's been officially admitted. It must be His Majesty the King of Selva who decides everything."

"Your Majesty the King. I can't pin it. I don't know what kind of nobility I know, at best a princess named Lefreia."

In Yumi's words, Dial said, "Huh?" I rounded my eyes.

"Does Yumi know Lefreia?... Oh well. I thought you had a feast by the woods."

"Yeah. Something, you were such a beautiful princess that you didn't think you were the same person. I feel like a nobleman."

"Sure. But you weren't a bad person, were you?

"I don't know because I was about to say hello, but, well, it didn't feel like I hated you that much. He's a nobleman who took Asta, so I imagined a more petty one."

After saying it that way, Yumi showed more white teeth.

"Speaking of which, you got awkward with Asta because of one of those things. I was worried about you then, and you weren't like me."

"Stop it," Dial blushed slightly.

Speaking of which, this Yumi played a part in me and Deal's efforts to repair the relationship.

Deal turns back to me, stroking his cherry cheeks.

"It's more about the Kingsville people than that.... the people by the woods won't rub it with them again, will they?

"Yeah. I hope not."

"I said you can't just wish! Soon, my fathers are coming to Genos!

Yumi, who couldn't grasp the meaning, said, "Dad?" and lean his neck.

Dial was to look back at you again.

"My dad comes to Genos about six months ago to deliver the goods. At that time, I'm thinking of inviting Asta to Castle Town to cook."

"Hmm? That's how you get involved with the Kingsville people?

"Until now, we couldn't invite Asta to Castle Town because of the Kings."

Then I thought I wouldn't have enough words, and I decided to make it up to you.

"It would be unusual to invite a man without a pass to a castle town, wouldn't it? So I was told to do that solemnly so that only the people by the woods wouldn't think I was being treated weirdly. Still, I've called you many times for tea party treats."

"I see. Does that mean it's also hard to call Asta to Castle Town unless the people of the Wang Capital and the people by the woods get along"

After stating it that way, Yumi caught a slightly mean eye.

"Then why don't we call your father over here? It's easier than calling Asta to Castle Town on purpose."

"There's no way my father would come to the settlement near the lodging town or the woods. I'm so forbidden from wandering around the town alone."

That said, Dial let his mouth squirm in dissatisfaction.

"You think you're staying tall? But we're pedestrians moving from town to town. It's always dangerous in strange places, not to mention Selva being exotic to us."

"I'm kidding. You just made fun of me."

Yumi turned her arm around Dial's shoulder, just as she had just made it into Louis. Larvis reacted tingly, but snagged his fingertips over the pattern of the sword.

"You came to my inn, which is really dangerous, and you were at a feast by the woods. I don't feel bad for you because your father was high."

"Hey, hey. Don't touch me too hard."

Is it my fault that Dial doesn't look like he's getting annoyed?

Whatever it was, it was heartwarming interaction for what I was looking at.

"Anyway, we'll do everything we can to make it clear to the people of the King's capital. I want to deepen my bond with Deal's father."

"... you really think so?

"Absolutely. You're my dear friend, Deal's father."

I've only looked at that Granal once. Besides, that was when Leflaia was capturing me, so it wasn't even a comfortable situation to talk to.

Granal watched the interaction in a much more grumpy fashion while Ai-Fa and Polearth rebuffed Lifreia's sins. Showing off the internal strife of the exotic nobles, he wondered what the hell this was all about.

(First, tomorrow. What the hell kind of person is a diplomat named Fermes)

Yumi and Dial are still making a fuss about it, and Louis and Larvis see it with their own whimpering glances. While I watched such a smiling sight from the outside, I decided to tighten my mind back.
