829 Twenty-fifth day of the Purple Moon ① - Invitation ~

Having successfully completed our stall business, we are set to go back to the woods and prepare for tomorrow's bottom.

Tia, who was sent back from Fow's house, is encouraged to train, and the Braves play with Ai-Fa. And the fact that the black cat goes home to Fa's and starts napping in the hall has also been the norm in the past few days.

"Is this your fifth day since you left that black cat? Wouldn't it be a good time to make a decision?

While finishing up the 'Giva Curry' spice in the outdoor kamado, I asked Ai-Fa that way.

Surrounded by three families, Ai-Fa, who was stroking his head in turn, immediately turned to this side as the top of the Buddha.

"It is not so easy to decide whether or not to increase your family. Not to mention the fact that he can't do his job like the Braves."

"Yeah. But even Zilbe didn't originally pick it up to make you do your job, did he? Turns out, I'm supposed to work as a watchdog."

But Zilbe did his job as a watchdog about when the Hurricane Party attacked him. In the first place, in the woodland today, a life is established that is unrelated to intruders.

"On second thought, Zilbe and that black cat have a little similarity in history, don't they? Since Zilbe is unlikely to be able to fulfill his duties as a escort dog, the story of wanting to give way to Fa's house has been raised."

"Hmmm......"

"When Jilbe, Ai-Fa wouldn't have bothered you that much either, would she? I thought you were talking about how hard it is for that black cat to have feelings as a family?

"It's not like that...... things like totoss and hounds were to be accepted promptly by the woods. Isn't that because it was originally equipped with the qualities to connect with the forest people?

"Yeah. As the original seed, maybe it was compatible. So you don't feel that part about that black cat?"

I = fa had trouble responding, making his mouth a letter to.

Brave looks a little worried, licking the back of Ey-Fa's hand like that with a pepper.

"Well, I guess the Pinots will be in Genos until Easter is over. I guess we should have answers by then."

Like that, I decided to cut off the topic of black cats early.

Eventually, as half of the four moments down approached, Ai-Fa began to prepare her luggage. We're going to pick up the ladies and gentlemen at the Inn Town.

By the time Ai-Fa leaves the house, the meeting was also completed with the lower prep and tomorrow's meeting, so the ladies of help also return to their respective houses. I'm the only one left in Kamado's cabin. It was an extremely rare circumstance that I would be alone for just a few moments since Easter began.

Nevertheless, the Braves are relaxing just outside Kamado's cabin, and Tia should be encouraging training on some tree. While secretly enjoying my lonely time like an air pocket, I decided to get ready for dinner.

Then about half an hour later, there were signs of several luggage cars driving down the road in front of the house. There is a large square between the house and the road, so if it is one or two, it is often missed to hear, but this time it must have been quite a few. The architects were supposed to be the first to check the Sung family's sacrifice hall.

I'm going to work quietly on my own.

The rest period was also accompanied by Ai-Fa during this time period, so silently engaging in cooking was really a hiccups thing.

But of course, I'm not making it bitter. Unless it was a rest period, it was normal for this time period to be alone.

I continued my work with all my heart to please the ladies.

Once again, I could hear the running tone of the luggage car, after a plethora of moments or so had elapsed since I first heard that noise - it was fitting when the sunlight that plunged through the window was becoming much more unreliable.

Eventually, from the outside, I hear voices like "wow" and "hiaaa". Perhaps you were surprised by Zilbe's giant. Even for Dial, who seems to be born wealthy, the story was that lion dogs are quite rare.

With that voice on the signal, I stop the work and turn back to the door panel I left open.

For starters, the appearance of my beloved parent was revealed.

"You kept me waiting. It was a waste of time, so we headed straight to the Sung family from Inn Town."

"Yeah. I heard the luggage car, so I thought it would be. How was the sacrifice hall?

"More than that, you should greet your Guests first"

Ai-Fa stepped into Kamadu's cabin and allowed the guests to enter.

Balan's old man and his partner, his eldest son and his partner, his second son and his youngest sister. And in Aldas, Dial and Larvis, the total is nine.

The old man who came in at the beginning gave me a courtesy and then looked around to see what Kamadu's cabin looked like.

"Hmm. I've had a peek at you once before... but you're still a fine cook"

This kamadu cabin is a building that the nearby men have provided for the rest period. The men were supposed to have inspected the building when they had the mother house rebuilt.

My youngest sister, too, reveals no less curiosity to the old man and looks around inside Kamadu cabin. At the end of the day, "Ah," he said, sounding unexpected.

"It's a god statue of Vairas. Even the people by the woods adorn you like this."

It is a small wood-carved god statue, purchased in the Inn Town. It was kept in the shack from the beginning, so it spared the earthquake damage.

"Yeah, I heard about the fire god Vairas. Besides me, I bought a couple of them."

"Hmm," my youngest sister said, turning her gaze to me.

And I lean my neck a lot.

"By the way, why are you alone? Has anyone else left yet?

"Huh? Who else? I'm alone in Fa's house."

"Yeah, my dad tells me that... but didn't he get help from a relative or something?

"A relative isn't even here, is he? The only family in Fa's house is me and my parents, Ai-Fa."

"Eh!" I said, and my youngest sister lost her word.

Then instead, her mother embarks on herself.

"So you made dinner alone tonight? There are nine of us, right?

"Yes, we're in a big hurry, but I hope you're satisfied"

Everyone in the Balan family had their eyes rounded.

In it, Aldas pleasantly narrows his eyes, "Well."

"I don't have any family in Nelwia either, but the Astas were nothing like relatives. I thought I was going to ask those people to help me out because this is all the guests I've got."

"Yes. I also thought about asking the neighbors for help, but in that case, by the woods, the person who helped you is an inspiration to have dinner in the same place, right? I think that would be a little cramped, and today it depends on my decision to work alone"

"Right. Thank you so much for chewing Asta's heart out."

After saying it that way, Aldas looked back at Dial.

"Sora, you and Asta are hives, aren't you? I think you should say hello."

"Ugh, yeah...... I apologized to Ai-Fa just now, but I'm sorry I forced you to push me today, right?

And Deal's gonna look at me like a jerk. It's like a puppy with lowered ears. Speaking of which, she was the one who had seen herself as a dog type from quite an early age.

"Forced? I don't think so."

"So, but I'm jealous of you guys in Nerwia, and you hit Asta eight times, right? Then Asta and I stayed out of sight..."

And, Deal is so screwed up. It would be a direct feeling of the people of the South to explode as they wish and to reflect on it and soothe it.

"Have you always cared about that? You know, I never cared."

"... is Asta really, not mad?

"I'm not mad at you. I thought it seemed like a real deal."

"It's natural for me to be selfish, don't say it like that."

And, Deal turned his face bright red.

I was induced to smile, but I felt something slightly limp in Ey-Fa's gaze and panicked to attract his expression.

"Anyway, dinner will be ready shortly, so please wait by the house. I wonder if we can deliver it by sundown."

The guests left the cabin, guided by Ai-Fa.

Now the old man at the end of the line is screwing me.

"Neither did I. I didn't think you were getting ready alone or anything. Even the rushing Easter haste has put an extra strain on you."

"No, it's not extra or hard at all. Don't worry, it's something you enjoy doing."

The old man thanked him to pull his jaw before leaving Kamado's cabin behind.

I'm a last-minute. Surely it wasn't a half-baked job to rub all this dinner alone, so it was only a matter of time.

Still, work will proceed with great care to avoid the work becoming coarse.

After a while, Ai-Fa came back alone. Thanks to the fact that Deal is here, the guests alone are very excited.

"I can't help with Kamado's work, but I should probably help with the work of carrying food. It will be difficult for you to carry this iron pan alone."

"Thanks, that'll help."

So I was able to finish dinner at roughly the same time as sunset, and I was to bring it into the motherhouse with Ai-Fa.

People make wheelchairs around the hall. When me and I-Fa lowered the iron pan to the central pot laying, Dial just made me snap my little nose.

"Hmmm, nice smell! This is Miso's cooking!

"Yeah. I knew Miso was user-friendly."

Your partner suggested helping with the meal, but that was rejected by I-Fa. Having guests help with their work is still an unpretentious way to learn by the woods. The companion seemed unfortunate, but when he saw the dishes being brought in one after the other, the expression of joy revived on his face.

Finally, if we also call Tia, who was encouraging us to train until dark, we are ready. Your family, this being their first look, were peeling at Tia's appearance, but they said nothing when they put it in their mouth.

"I am honored to be inviting many guests to Fa's house today. I would be fortunate if you enjoyed the dedication of your family Asta"

Ey-fa, who had taken up his seat, greeted him as such with a solemn face.

And me and I-Fa say pre-meal language in their mouths, and Jagal guests put their hands around their bellies to salute them. So finally, it was the start of dinner.

"Serve a large plate of dishes first as we will split the dishes of the pan here"

When I opened the earthen pan lid, Dial said, "Wow."

"Smells good! Is that Chaska's dish?

"Chaska?" his eldest son frowned.

"It does smell good, but I've never even heard of Chaska. Is that the ingredient for the West Kingdom?

"No, Chaska is an ingredient delivered from the eastern kingdom"

"Heh," he said, his eldest son clapping his mouth.

Then, from the side, the old man sticks out a thick gaze.

"If you have a complaint, don't eat it. We'll have fun with that."

"So you're not complaining. Sim's vanilla dishes are a lot to say in the lodging town."

Then this time, my youngest sister speaks with a sarcastic grin.

"When I first went to the Giva food stall, my brother would never forgive me for cooking with Sim's vanilla, what did he say? But once I ate it, I started eating it every day."

"Let it go. Don't say anything unnecessary."

"Haha," he laughed, was Dial.

"I know how you feel! I was in a bad mood when I first heard about Sim's ingredients, too. But it's delicious, so you can't help but eat it."

"Yeah, sort of," the eldest son put his head on.

He was fattened by the woodland ladies and put quiet pressure on his companion, but he seemed somewhat different against Dial. It's not even like him, I can even feel the atmosphere somewhere at a distance.

(I wonder what. I guess it's not like I don't like active girls)

Though I thought so in a corner of my mind, I decided to make up for the Chaska dishes.

"This Chaska is a dish that is quite rare in western territory. I'm glad to hear your thoughts, as there are still a few people in the South who have spoken."

Even at the architect's farewell party, Chaska dishes could not be presented because they could not be secured in sufficient quantities to be served at the feast. The old man and Aldas were intrigued and peeking into my hand.

I'm going to put a dish of chaska cooked in an earthen pot. It is a "tau oil-tailored cooked chaska" made from Gibba rose meat and Nennon, as well as Bunashi Mejmodoki and Shiitakemodoki. Shiitakemodoki has a taste similar to Shiitake, but the colour is bright orange, so it was accompanied by a visual colour, along with Nenon, which resembles carrots.

As I turned the other cooking chaskas, many of the guests had narrowed their eyes by surprise. Regardless of the sim chaska, I guess it has an unbelievably challenging appeal to the woven aroma of tau oil. It was a dedication in anticipation.

Aldas, who first spoke of cooked chaska, said, "Yeah!" and give a satisfactory voice.

"Sure it's a dish you can't eat, but it's the perfect way to use tau oil and sugar! Even Naudis' Jagal cuisine hasn't lost!

"It's an honor for you to say that. By the way, this dish also uses Nyatta's distilled liquor."

"You're Nyatta's distiller! If you buy it over here, it's worth a lot of money, right? I hear you can order it at the Grand Tree Pavilion in the South, but it wasn't a great price to get your hands on."

Then, Dial, who was smiling and cheeking the cooking chaska, looked back at Larvis, "Ah," he said.

"Speaking of which, I forgot to give you a souvenir. Larvis, please."

"Yes," Larvis, who placed the wood dish, took away the bags he had placed on the wall. Aldas and his eldest son shine their eyes in a gray earthen bottle removed from it.

"Hey! Isn't that Nyatta's distillery liquor?

"Yeah. I got lost with Mammalia's distillery liquor, but I was wondering if it would be better this way if the southerners were invited... but this is a souvenir to Fa's house"

The two earthen bottles received from Larvis were once again sent by Dial to Ai-Fa.

Ey-Fa leans his little neck, while leaning his nose against the mouth of a sealed earthen bottle.

"You had the same earthen bottles lined up in the pantry. Asta uses it in her cooking, Jagal liquor."

"Yeah. It's at home, but you've never had a drink?

"Mm-hmm. Recently, I've had less chance of soaking up booze."

Saying it that way, Ai-Fa arranged an earthen bottle in the center.

"I'd like the guests to enjoy it, if that's okay. So, aren't you going to be rude?

"Yeah. It's normal for Jagal to behave like a souvenir on the spot. But because of this, I guess that's why I want Ey-Fa to drink it too. Asta just can't drink, can she?

"Yeah, I've decided to drink since I was 20."

That was my hometown law, but I was going to abide by it one day. People in this land were allowed to drink from young people, but when I was born and raised in a land that wasn't, my health could be adversely affected. Explaining it that way, Ai-Fa was also happy to accept my judgment.

This meant that Nyatta's distilled liquor would only be sifted by five, except the youngest sister of the Baran family, and Aldas and Ai-Fa.

The eldest son, who laid it on in a drink cup, gives a happy voice, "Hmm."

"Genos fruit liquor is excellent, but it's still Nyatta for us! It's crackling to mouth this guy, so it's extraordinary again!

"Ah. The liquor has just begun."

My youngest sister, who was alone in alcohol, was so blurred.

I'll give her a new plate.

"Well, enjoy the food. Yes, it's juice food."

"Oh, yeah. Thanks."

The juice dish is "giva juice", which is not pork juice. There are also plenty of jaguar mushrooms used here, and the lack of gobo, conyak or spring onions was sumptuously finished with potato chatching, carrot nenon, cabbage tinfa, and diced shima.

(When it's rainy season, I can use leggies that look like gobo. For giva juice and cooked chaska, I'd like to use a leggie soon)

While I was thinking that, my youngest sister mouthed 'giva juice'.

I can spread a brighter grin on that fuzzy face. Um, it's the same unyielding, attractive smile I showed you on the tent of "A Seat of Gamleys".

"This is delicious! Miso's juice dishes were also sold in the stalls, or they seem to taste a little different!

Yun-Sudra would have seen these smiles every now and again, in addition to working in the Blue Sky Dining Room. So I'm sure we're going to feel something similar to Morn-Rutim's innocence.

"Thanks. Giva's guts are used in the dishes sold in the street, right? Other flavors are not supposed to taste the same."

"Yeah, it's delicious over there. I wonder if I like this one better."

After all, she wasn't hiding a smile all the time, she was just constantly in an honest mood. And I couldn't wait to see you smile so innocent in my cooking.

"Oh, hey, don't just drink Nyatta. I only have two bottles, so if I drink them at my usual rate, they'll be gone in no time."

Aldas takes a gray earthen bottle from his eldest son's hand. On this occasion, there is also an earthen bottle of fruit liquor that they have brought with them. The eldest son sounded his tongue, dissatisfied.

"When you run out of Nyatta, why don't you drink fruit liquor? Drink. You don't have to put up with feelings, do you?

"We'll keep the fun later. You shouldn't have done that. [M] My brother's a lot more sober."

"This guy just has a heavy mouth. Inside, he wants to drink Nyatta."

To both names making a scene, my youngest sister said, "Hey!" and shouted out loud.

"If booze is more important than cooking, you're with me wherever you eat! Didn't Aldas look forward to cooking around the woods?

"Of course, I enjoy cooking. In other words, the presence of alcohol becomes important for the enjoyment of cooking."

Since I said it that way, Aldas has looked at me with regret.

"It's true, huh? I'm not gonna second Asta's cooking, am I?

"Yes, there are a lot of people around the woods who take care of their drinks at dinner."

I guess booze is a reward to keep for the Aldas who have been working this morning as well. My father was also a swallowing soldier, so I meant to understand the importance of the evening out.

"Enjoy your liquor and food. Have you eaten this simmer yet?

"No, you haven't. Yeah, this guy looks delicious, too."

Only Aldas and his eldest son were making noise with alcohol, so the rest of the people were still eating.

In it, your old man's partner comes up with a full grin.

"Every dish is delicious. Especially this Mallorian dish. It's excellent."

"Mallory?" I questioned my partner's pointing plate. Served there is' Malor Chili 'mimicking shrimp chili.

"Oh, that's brought in from the King's Capital in the west, you're using an ingredient called Mallory, right? In Jagal, are they called Maloria?

"Oh, really? Ah. I'm pretty sure this puffy eater must be Mallory."

Then Dial reacted, "Oh."

"Well, Mallory's the one who can do it in the ocean, and Mallory's the one who can do it in the river. They look more or less the same, so I'm sure they're related."

"Oh well, is that so? Ah. Nerwia is far from the sea, and I never heard of it."

"Even Zeland, where I lived, had nothing to do with the sea. The people of Genos taught me."

Then, the eldest son, who was wearing fruit liquor, looked at the dial in the eye.

"You live in Castle Town. So, you're being kind with the nobles, too. Well, I was wondering if you'd like to have dinner with us."

"Huh? I'm just dealing with nobles, I'm a civilian. You explained that to the iron shop in Zeland, didn't you?

"But in Castle Town, you're dressed up and surrounding dinner with nobles, aren't you?

Dial answered, looking a lot worried.

"Well, to keep up with the aristocrats, I have to keep up with the way things are over there... did I do anything rude?

"It's not like that. Your brother just doesn't like nobles."

My youngest sister opened her mouth in an obvious manner.

"You're usually prestigious, but you have small liver balls. I'm always freaking out about Uncle Dells."

"Bi, I'm not freaking out. Besides, he was cut off from his family, so he's not my uncle anymore, is he?

"Fine, stick with it. By and large, if I say that, aren't even the people of the woods dealing with nobles? We're talking about a nobleman who came all the way here for supper."

"Yeah? No way, that's not true. How do you know that?

"On" Dawn Day, "I heard from a girl by the woods. Look, uh, little, thin, cute little girl...... oh, is that Ray-Matua? No way, the people by the woods wouldn't lie, would they?

That was a question directed at me, so I gave him a nod, "Yeah."

"You've invited nobles in the name of visiting forestside settlements. It was so sudden that we were surprised."

"It was also a nobleman in a cool capacity, wasn't it?

"Right. He was the first son of the Marquis of Genos with a diplomat from Wang Du, so as far as I can tell, he's pretty good."

The eldest son had opened his mouth gently.

Looking sideways at it, her youngest sister laughs with her nose "Humph".

"Right? It's useless to just think about what the nobles are like. Besides, Asta was invited to Castle Town from the very beginning."

"Well, that's true..."

"So you don't mind either. Even if nobility isn't there, you're not."

My youngest sister glanced back at Dial, but you still looked a little worried.

"Am I really being rude? To be honest, I was such a proud person until I got to know Asta and the others..."

"Hmm? Are you looking down on us?

"I didn't look down on you! Never!"

"If so, fine," my youngest sister laughed brightly.

Then Larvis, who was silently watching over the accomplishments, speaks.

"Dear Dear Deal, you never look down on anyone else. However, since there are many outlaws lurking in Inn Town and elsewhere, they have been strictly educated to be careful."

"Oh, you really were this lady. So, did you meet the Astas and change anything?

"Yes, it must have been learned that the people of the woodland, who were considered dangerous barbarians in Genos, had a more honest character than the people of the town, and that it would be useless to judge people by birth or identity. So there is no reason to look down on you."

"Also, that's enough. Because I'm embarrassed."

and rocked Larvis' thick shoulders as Dial dyed his cheeks a lot.

My youngest sister gives a happy voice.

"I didn't even think we were being overlooked, so I'm fine. It's just that your brother's freaking out about nobility."

"So he said he wasn't freaking out!

Aldas and the women laughed as their eldest son murmured and raised his voice.

That is only a gathering of the people of the south, a lively supper. The old man and his second son seemed to be barely talking, but he probably enjoyed cooking more than anyone else.

In addition, the same is true of Ai-Fa, who is oligarchic, and Tia disappears in presence in these places.

Still flowing there was a lively and yet soothing air.

Similar air would be formed in the houses of the families that invited Mayton and other members.

Besides the hot swirling Easter, I was as comfortable as I was presented with a very warm and cozy moment.
