Thus, about a moment before the five moments of descent - sunset - the evening of salute was to begin.
Put the finished dish on the wagon and we'll head to the venue in total. Guided by his lowest surname was in front of a room he had never set foot in before.
"We have brought you a line of cooks Asta by the woods"
Along with such declarations, the lowest surname finally opens the door.
What was waiting for me there was an unexpected sight.
"Hey, I've been waiting for you, Lord Asta! Everyone's got their faces together!
From afar, I can hear Polearth.
We walked into the back of the room, hiding our inner surprises.
It is quite large, a space that even a small hall would like to call.
On the left and right, however, collisions are arranged, deliberately delimiting spaces. Still, considering the area of the ceiling, it seemed like a venue enough to hold a little ball.
In the middle of the venue, many large rugs are laid.
There are no tables or chairs ready. People were sitting back on the rug as if it were a feast by the woods.
"Are you surprised? They say this is Gerd's manipulation. Not just Gerd, but Sims don't seem to have the habit of using tables and chairs in a dining room."
Polearth, sitting on one of those rugs, said so with a smile.
Elsewhere, Eurifia, who finally took a sit-down position, smiles with pleasure.
"I've heard rumors, too, but this is the first time I've tried it myself. Something's gonna make your chest jump."
Instead of Eurifia, Odifia, who took the same attitude, stares at this one. Perhaps you're setting your sights on Thur-din, who was pushing the wagon next to me. Tour-Din was smiling to haunt him as he returned his gaze to you, too.
"Asta, the food, I was waiting. Meals, please."
and Alvach, who sat in the deepest place, called out as such. He and Nanaqem were even coming to the cook in the evening, so we've already finished greeting the reunion. I said, "I understand," and then I decided to start a meal.
There are roughly twenty or so formal participants in this evening's dinner.
The Marquis de Genos, the Dalaim, the Saturas, the Turan and the rulers of Genos face each other. It was still thought to be a courtesy to the first sons of the Lord of Gerd, who, in format, would be superior to the Marquis of Genos.
In contrast, from Moribe, as chiefs and nominees, Dari-Sauti, Giza Luu, Georg Zaza, and Schmiral-Lilin and Vina Luu Lilin have been invited.
As a diplomat in the Wang capital, only Fermes was present, and no sign of Aug, an aide, or Gemd, a squire, was found.
Twenty people who have added organizers Alvach and Nanaquem to this will be the official attendees of the day.
And this time, at the request of the Arvakhs, we were supposed to join that circle. Seven of Kamado's men, two of their escorts, and three of them came as tribal chiefs and nominees. Rudd-Lou and the men of Zaza and Sauti had already lowered their hips, respectively.
Nevertheless, it was still a strange sight that the nobles of Gerd and the people by the woods, even the nobles of the west, were sitting on the rug.
This is a castle town and yet indoors, although Melfried and Polearths and others have already celebrated by the woods. I guess the only venue this wide was chosen was to ensure that this number of people could sit on the rug. So, when the surroundings are too open, they are restless, so they are putting down a collision.
Beautiful embroidery on both the collision and the rug, but they were all exotic.
The decorations found in the western kingdom are exotic enough for me, but they are also different and extremely oriental. Its design, with its polar colour and predominantly whirlpool patterns, was presumably the textile of the shim.
Either way, we worked as caterers.
This is also a request from Alvach, and how all dishes, except confectionery, are prepared: a full course of six dishes is only the practice of the aristocracy of the west. Since there are many side dishes today, it was decided to place the dishes for one person in a large basin and deliver them to each other.
Every plate is covered with a lid, so Polearth is shaking her plump body so she can't wait. Alvach and Nanaqem are immovable with their spines pinched. After all, even with this number of people, their appearance, with a very large body, did not blind them.
"Asta, this way, I want you to sit down. cooking, explaining, and needing"
Following Alvach's words, I was supposed to carry my own basin there. Of course Ai-Fa and Limi-Luu follow.
Around Alvach and Nanaqem were glimmers of faces: Malstein, Polearth, Fermes, and Ziza-Lou. Furthermore, it is a pleasant story that Schmiral-Lilin and Vina Luu-Lilin are also in a position not far away. In the meantime, the three of us were seated there because there was a pompous space on the right hand side of Alvach.
Raina-Lou and Sheila-Lou, by Rudd-Lou or Refraia or Tolst, Yun-Sudra and Malfila-Naham, by Dari Sauti or Ruidros or Leeheim, and Tour-Din, of course, sit back by George-Zaza or Melfried or Eurifia or Odifia. Also, Lyada-Lou had his feet pointed at you because only about the men of Zaza and Sauti could see the people by the woods by the Paud, Ritia and Addis of the Earl of Dalaim.
"Well, dinner for the payback, I want to start, I think"
That's how Alvach and Nanaqem got up in exchange for us lowering our hips.
"Genos, welcome, we, deeply grateful, hold. Also, the words of apology, and the things of apology, which they received, are the same. I hope to be able to spin the right edge in the future."
People were listening to Alvach with a serene face.
It has already been half a month since Arvach and the others visited Genos. In the meantime, I guess I almost got to interact properly. Neither did the noble people of Genos, headed by Marstein, have the colour of tension in their eyes to see the Arvaches.
"Now, the cook by the woods, I want you to devote yourself and taste it. On this day, joy, being able to share, is fortunate"
Combining his fingertips into a complex shape, he gave a small token, and then both names broke their knees again.
The two names of Gerd crush something in the eastern language, and the people by the woods chant the pre-meal wording. At the end of the day, dinner was finally started.
"We use a lot of Jagal ingredients today, as requested by the Gerd people. They are all made in their own hometown way, so it doesn't come down to branding them Jagali dishes, but we hope you enjoy them."
Listening to my foreboding, people opened the lid of the vessel.
From all over the place, the anticipation of the twist swells. At the same time, it drifts with aromas of miso and tau oil.
"… and the diplomat, Fermes, has prepared a special dish. This was also a request from the Gerd people."
"Yes. If I had been present as a diplomat, I would have offered not to cook, but I sincerely thank Lord Alvach and Lord Nanaquem for their generosity. … and, of course, the Astas who put this kind of effort on me."
Fermes smiles gracefully as usual. Ai-fa had tried to look at the figure without expression.
"I just figured serving a completely different dish to just one of you isn't your own fashion, so I serve the same dish to others. Just a small amount of mouth, but most importantly if you enjoy it."
"Hmm! To find out, the three small bowls we have here are the dishes! This is exciting!
I smiled back at Polearth with a full smile, then I added at the end.
"Also, the juice dishes are extra ready, so if you need them, please call the nearest Kamadoku number."
This is a consideration for the hunters by the woods. The size of the stomach varies between a hunter by the woods and a man in town. Instead of the juice dishes, they waited for their turn as they boiled together in a wagon that could install a fire bowl.
"That's it. Enjoy."
Everyone waited for my explanation to end in discipline, so I let it close that way.
Everyone puts their hands on each dish. I took one breath and decided to open the lid for myself.
As I mentioned earlier, I use a lot of Jagal ingredients this time.
When it came to it, it was miso and tau oil that dominated it, so it was combined with natural and Japanese food conscious dedication.
What can be called the main dish is the lid. This is the first unveiling of Gibba's Horned Bowl, which is familiar to the people of the woodland and the people of the lodging town.
The usual "Giva Cuttlebowl" teases semi-ripe Kimmus eggs, but here I fasten them to hang miso who. On top of the other cooked chaskas, they lay a chopped tino on top of it with giva cutlets, and then hang it with a special miso.
For the miso, I use sugar and Nyatta distilled liquor and a little hoboi oil. It has quite a strong taste, but if you cheek with Tino or Chaska, it would be that you can achieve irresistible harmony in your mouth. Seven flavour chips were also prepared so that they could be hung afterwards if desired.
The juice dish is a "miso tailored Giva hotpot", which was left to the Raina-Lou people. Even if we use the same miso, we want to show that this is the only way we can assemble a different flavor, depending on what we elect.
Unlike the food served on the street, the Rayna-Lew guys had plenty of extra ingredients, too, because they didn't have to worry about the cost ratio. Originally used Aria, Chacchi, Nenon and Onda are added Tinfa, Remirom, Chang, Bunashi Mejimodoki and Mushroom Modki.
Regardless of the timfa resembling cabbage, Remirom resembling broccoli or Chan resembling zucchini is a bit of an unexpected facial rash. but those ingredients felt harmonious to this dish. It is a triumph for the Raina-Lou and others, not caught in a fait accompli.
The above three dishes were dishes made with Giva.
Other than that, I prepare a variety of side dishes. Shima and Guigo dried xasalad with mackerel eggs, Nanar hives - and recently developed shallow pickles of Shima and Tinfa.
The shallow-soaked seasoning solution is made of salt, seagrass returned with water and the skins of chit fruit, kel root, nyatta distilled liquor and chacci. I put the pre-chopped Shima and Tinfa in a leather bag along with the seasoning liquid, after how much I have minced, for a moment or so. The sobriety was shallow marination of the sale, which was not allowed until fermentation.
Since it has become easier to obtain Chaska, there has been an increasing opportunity to make Japanese food donations. Then it would be human beings who want pickles. Especially if it was a contribution like today, it seemed like it could show true value.
"Hey, that's delicious! Is Gibba's fat used for this gibberish?
To Polearth's inquiry, I nodded yes.
"You're going to be the 'giva cutlet' I told you about before, fried in giva fat. Even at Lilyn's wedding feast, I think it was only served."
"Yeah, yeah. But it didn't taste like miso then, and Chaska wasn't used either! I guess this is only flavored with Tino and Chaska! It's delicious!
"Mm-hmm. I can eat a lot of dishes that use miso, but Asta's dishes seem exceptional."
Malstein also said that to me with a big smile.
Turning to the other side, Lilyn's two are whispering to each other, eating the dish for me. Of course, we're in front of the public, so we're not getting closer to each other than we need to be - somehow, the aura of happiness is tumbling up like everything else, and it's been a long time since I've spoken up.
(What the hell, already. He'll show it to me.)
I came to think of it that way, along with a great sense of happiness.
When I get alarmed, my tear glands are about to loosen up. Just watching the two of them get along made me full of breasts.
Then, Schmiral-Lilyn's black eyes turned toward him.
"Asta, it's delicious"
"Oh, thank you. If it fits your mouth, I'm glad."
Schmiral-Lilyn smiled with a grin.
Vina Luu-Lilin is smiling as well.
Watching that all the time, it was really going to spill tears, so I decided to turn my gaze to my neighbor Arvach.
Alvach is quietly eating.
The pace of the meal is not too late or too early. However, in its deep shades of blue eyes, there was a light that did not take seriously.
Those eyes are slowly coming at me.
"... thoughts, just now"
"Ah, yes. I understand that."
Then Nanaquem, who was speaking with Malstein and Ziza-Lou et al., looked back at his compatriots with a much narrower eye.
"Dinner party, interaction, deepening, sincerity. Alvach, are you crazy?
"It's awkward. But it would be a state of oblivion, conversation, disrespect. Often, time, I want to have it"
"... until after dinner, will I go back?"
With no expression, Nanaquem was sighing.
Instead, Malstein smiles with pleasure.
"I hear Lord Alvach was very impressed when we had a dinner party at the Silver Star Hall the other day. After all, does that mean that Asta and Varcus dishes are different?
"No. Chef of Castle Genos, skilled, wonderful, I think. Just...... asta, varcus, heterogeneous. Therefore your heart shall be disturbed."
"Hmm. Whatever Varcus says, Asta is also heterogeneous?
"Heterogeneity, language, would it be different? Western language, difficult.... Lord Fermes, what do you think?
"Yes, if you don't mind, tell us in the eastern language"
Alvach uttered a shorter word in the eastern language.
Fermes makes his gaze wander, "Hmm..."
"Right. 'Heterogeneity' doesn't seem to be a mistake either… at this point, the word 'bizarre' or 'original' may be more appropriate"
"Is it original? Still, compared to Varcus, it feels less extrinsic... well, if you're Gerd's people who know how to eat Shaska, maybe it's bizarre enough"
Malstein nodded as he was convinced, but the Alvach principals seemed to disagree.
"Chaska, different cooking methods, indeed, how well it comes. But, Asta, arms, they don't stay with it. May I, Lord Fermes, help you, convey your thoughts?
Then, sooner than Fermes would acknowledge, Nanaquem raised his voice of restraint.
"Alvach, talk, long time. I, Lord Malstein, am in the middle of something important. Also, Lord Fermes, the food, it gets cold. Horizontal words, later."
"Horizontal, out-of-heart," he said, while Alvach let the meal resume with great care. Maybe he was concerned that his own dishes would cool down too. Fermes, who lost her turn for a moment, grinned and smiled at me.
"This dish also has a great finish to it all. You also used fish that weren't dry today."
"Ah, yes. I was a little worried about being able to flourish because I haven't been able to handle the live fish... but if you like it, it's above all"
"I guess it shows how extraordinary Asta is to be able to cook so many dishes even with ingredients that have not been handled. … Of course, not being able to handle it means' fish in the land '."
The eyes of Ey-Fa lit a raging and alarming light.
But more than that, Fermes shrugged the juice dish with a spoon, as he wasn't even going to mention my hometown.
"You also seem to use fish organs in this juicy dish. The cooking of organs is not uncommon in the Wang capital, but I think it has a great finish, combined with the taste of miso"
"Yeah, really! This one was in what amount I was looking at the flavor, but that was as much of a finish as I spared!
And Polearths also briskly raises his voice.
"All fish dishes as well as juice dishes were excellent. Lord Asta has a brilliant hand."
"Thank you. And I think that's because of the beauty of the ingredients."
What I prepared for Fermes was a seafood dish paired with three Giva dishes. The dedication was a tempura bowl, a stewed dish with tau oil, and a miso tailored alla pan.
The tempura bowl is of course made of malor similar to amah shrimp. The other two dishes were fish that resembled the Clodys, which would be the first challenge.
All four species of fish that can be used in Genos are white river fish, and I have used all the Lillionaire fish that resemble Ivana so far. This time, I changed it to a different species of fish - because I thought that if it were an allah pan, would Klodai be more appropriate than Ivana?
Of course this is just similar in appearance to a Crowdie, not the Crowdie itself, and maybe there's nothing wrong with using Ivana in an ala pan. The point was that I wanted to try new ingredients for a great reason.
Either way, a fish similar to this clawdie with the delightful name Rutton met my expectations without a shortage. Both the stewed dish with tau oil and the alla pan with miso have a satisfying finish. If you were just satisfied with all of us, including Fermes, you would have been fortunate.
"Speaking of which, I'm sorry to bother you about this fish. Once again, let me thank you."
In my words, Polearth said, "Yeah?," he tilted his neck.
"Oh, you were talking about asking Lord Varcus some questions about the handling of fish. That's what Jan said."
"Yes, I wondered if this fish gut was suitable for consumption or if Varcus was the only one to know about it, so I asked you a question"
"Yeah, yeah. I hear our samurai, Shayla, is leaving for Silver Star Hall. Do you hear what Lord Varcus said then?
"Huh? No, other than the answer to the question, I haven't heard anything..."
Polearth smiled like a prank boy.
"Right. I wonder if Shayla has distracted you so as not to embarrass Lord Asta. I think that's useless, so let me tell you something. [M]... 'Lord Asta is going to finish another great fish dish without my knowledge,' he said, breathing in dismay."
I just had to laugh "haha".
"Even for me, I just want Varcus to eat a lot of different dishes... and I'll just have to wait for that kind of tour."
"Hmm. Speaking of which, Lord Varcus was talking about being in a physical condition that wouldn't go out to the clutter or the mountains. If Lord Asta doesn't come out to Castle Town, he won't get a chance to show his face."
"Gibba's Horned Stew" was thrown into his mouth and chewed happily on it, before Polearth overlapped the words.
"Then call me when you need me, Lord Varcus. I'll arrange a pass."
"Huh?" I was supposed to round my eyes.
"Yeah, but isn't it going to take some kind of rigorous scrutiny to get something called a pass?
"Of course it is, but if it was a one-day pass, nothing would be difficult.... This isn't going to snooze the people by the woods, is it?
The second half of the words are directed at Fermes.
"Of course," Fermes smiled.
"We leave it to the discretion of the Marquis and the Counts to issue passes. Of course, when Asta makes a scene in Castle Town, the person who issued the pass will also be guilty."
"Then you don't have to worry. It's impossible for Lord Asta to break the laws of Genos."
Then Ai-Fa raised her voice quietly, "Wait."
"I feel more thankful for your trust in Asta. But for the people of the woods, castle town is an unknown realm."
"Unknown realm? But Lord Asta should be taking us to Castle Town by the time we don't have enough fingers on both hands anymore, right?
"But even a forest chief, not just Asta, has never even walked down the road on his own feet. The story was that there was no danger in Castle Town, but we only know it in words."
"Hmm," Polearth stroked his round mandible.
"If you ask me, you're right. Then I can prepare a transfer car... but I'd like you to walk around the castle on your own feet."
Then, from a long way away, a voice was raised, "Then".
"Me, guide, shall we?
If you think of it as someone, it is Schmiral-Lilyn.
Next to it, Vina Ruu-Lilin had her eyes open as if she were a little surprised.
"You were talking here, and you were listening to that story too...? It's a lot clever..."
"Yes, because merchants, ears, matter. Money making stories, don't miss listening, habits, it's on. … now, a money-making story, no"
"Ugh... I'm talking about the important Asta... what the hell were you talking about...?
Watching the couple interact like that, Polearth hit his hand "I see".
"Speaking of which, Lord Schmiral was - No, Lord Schmiral-Lillin was in and out of Castle Town for buying hounds. Originally, as a man of the Chamber of Commerce, did you have a pass?
"Yes, I won't reveal it at night, but it's a pass."
"Right or right. Then you're a good guide to Lord Asta. All you have to do is issue a laissez-passer until Lord Ai-Fa's minute, and you won't have to worry about anything? If that's what it is, I hope Shayla gave it to you."
Then Ziza-Lou, who was listening in silence, raised his voice there.
"Then can someone from the chieftaincy muscle accompany me? I want to know what the castle town is like."
"Oh, that's the best story ever. Well, let me just say that up to nine people I know who I am, and even a one-day pass can create cumbersome procedures for more than ten people."
Since I answered like that, Polearth has turned to me.
"You left Lord Asta at the heart, and you moved on. Didn't you think you'd want to step into Castle Town until then?
"No. I would sincerely appreciate it if I were to be able to go see Varcus from myself. But are you sure?
"If it weren't for you, Lord Genos would have stopped you. Issuing a pass isn't that big of a deal in the first place."
Malstein nodded "um" with his usual relaxed smile.
"It would not have been strange to give Trinity Chiefs and Astas the same laissez-passer as Schmiral-Lilyn if they had been. That was withheld... considering what Asta called reverse discrimination. If the people of the woods were to go in and out of the castle, the people of the lodging town and Dalaim would feel a lot worse."
"So does that mean we don't need that consideration anymore?
To Ziza-Lou's words, Malstein shook his head "No".
"I think we'll still need a lot of it, so let's keep it by the one-day pass this time. It will be necessary to be accustomed to the people of the castle."
"Get used to it?"
"I am accustomed to the practice of the people of the woods walking wide around the castle town. Most of the people in the castle haven't even seen the people by the woods with their eyes."
That being said, Marstein dampened his mouth with Nyatta's distilled liquor.
"The peace of Genos is protected by the people by the woods. If Gibba destroys the fruits of Turan and Dareim, he will not be at peace with the people of the city of Castle. Even so, the people of Castle Town can only know the people by the woods by the wind.... a year and a little while ago, just like us. Don't you think that's too unhealthy a relationship, Giza-Lou?
"Well. Isn't that the same thing with Turan and Dareim and people in the lodging town? Are you forbidden to enter or leave the castle towns with those people?
"Of course, we cannot give passes to all the people. But, for example - well, if you're the president of the Chamber of Commerce for lodging and selling vegetables, you've been given a pass. If I may speak on our measure, the Trinity Chiefs are not in a position to descend upon it. Nevertheless, at each meeting, a one-day pass was issued in order not to invite the rumor that the people of the woods were being treated favourably. I hope to remedy this sooner or later"
"When it comes to rectification... do you mean to give the Three Chiefs a pass?
"Sooner or later, when the time comes. Before that, I want the people of Castle Town to be familiar with the way the people of the forest walk wide through Castle Town. If Asta and the others are going to play that role, it would be perfect."
It was this dialogue.
Even though the prosperity of Genos is unlikely without the people of the woods, the people of the castle town have never even seen the people of the woods - that was the very emotion I once had when I was watching the castle town through the window of the Totos car.
(Malstein's deepening ties to the people by the woods led him to share the same emotion... you mean)
I guess this is also a big step.
Besides, we're sitting on the same rug as the Lord of Genos, eating the same thing. This should have been an unthinkable situation a year and a while ago.
(Thanks to Gerd's people, it looks like we've been bonded to the nobles of Genos again)
Thinking like that, I stole a better look at Alvach.
Then they had just turned their gaze to me, so I just got eyes on them.
"Cooking, everything, is delicious.... thoughts, okay?
"Ah, yes. Best regards,"
Alvach nodded heavily or in the eastern language when chanting the spell, and began to speak.
Using that as a BGM, the people around them were eating soothingly.
