874 Fourteenth Day of the Silver Moon ③ ~ Good Memories ~

Even after the stall was reopened, I was to be celebrated by different people for a safe return.

I had only reached people who were gracious about one of Morga's mountains, but I guess I still can't get a door in people's mouths. Also, since I had been out of the stall for two days, not many customers had asked about the situation, and Yun-Sudra and I had received such reports.

A large number of people mingled with those customers and were originally kind enough to visit the stalls.

The first to show up were Yumi, the people of the city of Inn, and the delightful bad friends. Ben, Cargo and Louis also looked away and were delighted with my return.

"At all, you have no life to step into the mountains of Morga. There are more horrible beasts lurking there than Gibba, right?

"Oh. I thought you said that my dead scumbag was a fool in Madarama's carcass flowing from the river. Ever since they told me that, I've been so bad at little snakes."

Ben and Cargo were laughing cheerfully and saying it that way.

Yumi is also laughing with sincere pleasure as she grabs the dry curry poiton roll.

"But I'm glad to see you looking so well! For a while, don't be impotent and relax. Okay?

"Yeah, I'm going to."

"Haha. Saying that, I don't think I've seen Asta take it easy, but hey!

Yumi and the others looked more energetic than usual. I wonder if that's all you're happy to have me home safely, as much as I appreciate it.

Visiting the stall after that was a line of "Guardian" named Zashma on Late to Camua-Josh.

"Hey, good luck the other day. In the mountains of Morga, they had such a difficult experience."

"Yes. I hear the Camuans visited Rutim's house yesterday. Did you satisfy your curiosity?

"That's already! Thanks to Gazran-Rutim's narrow description, I was as comfortable as I had stepped into the Morga Mountains myself!

That being said, Camua-Josh smiled less.

"As long as I really envy being invited to the sanctuary as a guest. Besides, that Tia girl was allowed to go back to her hometown."

"Yes, I'm very happy for you, too."

Camua-Josh's eyes were gentle with the usual blushing grin.

If you had as much insight as Camua-Josh, it would be a prospect to see how much thought I or I-Fa would have had of Tia.

"Well, now we can leave Genos without worries. Actually, me, Leyt and Zashma are leaving tomorrow morning."

"Huh? Were you?

"Yeah. It's a separate project from Zashma, but I happen to wear sunshine. We'll meet in Castle Town after dinner, so I'll say goodbye here."

That was a much more abrupt offer.

But that's how Camua-Josh and the others run all over the continent. Its content is irregular. It was supposed to be more casual than the Silver Pot.

"Take care, gentlemen. We look forward to your safe return."

They didn't take Genos as their home, but as far as I'm concerned, I just had to say those words.

"Neither is Late. I'm looking forward to the next day."

"Yes.... Regards, Kimmus's Tail Pavilion in the future"

In this silver moon, Late was supposed to be thirteen, too.

He also feels a lot taller in the past year. I know I'm growing up a little myself, but it couldn't have led to the development of boys these days.

"Bye. By the time we get back, I'm hoping for some fun noise this time."

Leaving those words behind, Camua-Josh walked away.

Once a longer time away from Genos than the Silver Kettle, it's a light one.

How many months will it be before I see you next, and no one knows that.

But still, as long as you lived most of the time, you should have been able to meet again.

By the time it was so past Jomtien, the architects working in Turan and Dora's dads also visited the stalls - it was in the line of "Silver Kettle" that all appeared in the last gesture.

"Welcome, Radajid. I hear you're leaving Genos in the morning in three days."

"Yes, I'm in a hurry, I'm sorry"

"Not at all. It must have been convenient for you to be in a hurry, right?... It really helped me to accompany Shmiral-Lilyn all the way to Mount Morga"

"Yes, everyone is happy to be back safely"

With the same faceless expression, Radajid's black eyes showed the truth within.

"Also another feast to send, heartily, I am delighted. Asta, take a seat, no problem?

"Yes, I'll cook one too. Thank you for your time."

Not only is this Schmiral-Lilyn, but the Radajids are going to be saying goodbye for six months.

But I guess I should be glad that I bonded with the exotic Radajids. The same goes for the Camua-Josh's and Balan's fathers, the Black Wind Cut Feathers, and the Dells and Wads. Because Genos was so prosperous and trading with extra territory, we were able to meet. I wanted to bite that joy off.

That's how I finished my reunion greetings with different people, and then the stall business was to end.

At the end of Easter, the number of dishes returned to the right amount, so all stalls are sold out. Kulua-Sung, who had done his first job, was breathing the way he felt.

"I watched how the stall was doing at the Easter fold, but it still looks like things are going to be completely different when I work. Astas do this kind of work every day."

"Yeah. Until I learn one thing about my job, I'd like to get Krua-Sung to go to work every day, too. But don't push it."

"Yes, I want to do everything in my power"

I laughed at Kulua-Sung and then called on Yun-Sudra.

"Yun-Sudra, I'm sorry, can you ask me to return the stall? I just want to say hello to the familiar owners."

"I understand. What should we do about the dishes delivered to Tanto's Grace Pavilion?

Today it was a dry curry, not a curry, but we also secured a portion to deliver to Alishna. This was customary to ask for favors from Jan and Shayla working at Tanto's Grace Pavilion.

"I want to say hello to you, too, so I'll take it. I don't think it's gonna take that long, but you can stay back."

"Yes, be careful under your feet."

That's how we're supposed to follow our way home separately.

I will be accompanied by five women: Ray-Matua, Malfira-Naham, Kulua-Sung, Tour-din and Lid. The familiar inn also has the task of delivering raw fresh meat, so I decided to introduce the Krua-Sung with the product.

"Xuanrong Pavilion", "Westwind Pavilion", "The Great Tree Pavilion in the South" and in turn tour the Inn.

Nair was the face of the people of the east, and Samus blurted, and Sil flaunted, and Naudis roughly - in a manner commensurate with each character - exchanged greetings for a reunion with me.

"... I'm afraid it's a repetition that Asta is really bonding with different opponents."

Krua-Sung smudged and crushed as he walked down the stone streets.

I have a hard time getting up and down the carrier, so I'm walking through it with a satchel on my left shoulder too. It was time for my ankles to scream, but my heart was filled with warmth.

"But this is the result of all the people around the woods. Even if I was the first to lead the way, I wouldn't have been able to expand my interactions this far on my own."

"But was it around the end of the Yellow Moon that Asta went to the woods? So, in the blue moon of the Parents' Conference, we were already building a great deal of wealth in the street commerce... so I'm still impressed."

"I, too, think the same," Thur-din remarked Hikame.

"It's been less than a month since Asta arrived in the woods, and we're going to have a meeting of parents. And yet I can't believe that I can do my job so magnificently… I was always impressed by Asta's deeds, too"

"Because it's only with everyone's help. The first time I met Ai-Fa, I was allowed to be cordial with the people of Luu, and in town I was supported by Camua-Josh and Milan-Math and Dora's father... so like that, I could live too"

As I wet my forehead sweat, that's what I made him say.

"And now, it's everyone here who's empowering me. We're all on the same side of the road with each other. Don't forget that."

"Yes," he nodded, while Tour-Din plucked his eyes.

But the smile on that little face is a happy smile. Even as his tearful personality remained intact, Tour-Din was growing steadily.

"Ah, this is the Tanto's Pavilion of Grace. Well, thank you again for your luggage."

Gill and his luggage were entrusted to Malfira-Naham and others, and I stepped into the Tanto's Grace Pavilion with only Ray-Matua and Kulua-Sung.

At this hour, the inn is idle everywhere. The young daughter, who was in formation at the reception desk, stood up "Welcome" with a smile.

"You're seeing Master Yang, aren't you? I'll call you right now, just a moment."

Tanto's Grace Pavilion, one of the largest in Accommodation Town, was extremely correct for its employees. My husband Tapas is also the Chairman of the Chamber of Commerce, so he also has a thick pipe with the lord Earl Saturas.

After a while, three people showed up from the entrance leading to the cook. Jan, Nicolas, Shayla and everyone else are on the trail.

"It's a hiccup, Jan. You came here today."

"Yes, we had an exchange of opinions with the cooking numbers because they also said they wanted to increase their confectionery dedication. Lord Asta, you seem to be safe."

The Jans should have been informed of the other day's upside via Leiris.

There is a very soft smile on Jan's face, which is thin and wrinkly.

"Master Polearth was also more relieved than his heart. When Lord Asta's life has settled down, let me take my time."

After saying it that way, Jan turned his gaze toward Kulua-Sung.

"By the way... are you the new helper? I think it's the first time I've seen you."

"Yes. My name is Klua-Sung. I hope you will have a chance to show your face again in the future."

With my introduction, Klua-Sung gave a deep salute.

Shayla is well-behaved, Nicola is on the top of the Buddha, and each returns his thanks. After those greetings, I invited Ray-Matua, who had a cooking wrap for me.

"This will be the dish you would like to deliver to Alishna. I'm afraid every time, please.... just before that, can you give the Yans a taste too?

"Taste it? Did you get creative again?

"Yes, I've been preparing so much extra, it's been a pleasure to have you all here."

Ray-Matua unwrapped the wrap on the table and removed the lid of the square heavy box.

A heavy box, usually filled with 'giva curry', is tightly packed with dry curry. It was as usual that baked poitane was prepared in another step.

"Is this him, who has no water or air, that Nicola may have spoken at a feast by the woods?

"Yes, my brothers by the woods called me a dried curry"

Ray-Matua let me clean my hands on my behalf and rubbed the dish for the number of people. It is similar in size to what it sells in stalls.

When he was offered the last minute of finishing, Nicola frowned at Uranzo.

"Can I give you another taste, even though I have already spoken?

"Yes, I think Chaska and Poitan will change their impressions too, so please compare them to eat"

The three were thus to mouth dry curry poiton rolls each.

This dish should not lose its flavor even at room temperature. When I thought of it that way, Shayla raised her voice in a nagging manner.

"This... tastes just like normal - but you're eating completely different. Of course, there's no water, so that's natural..."

"Did you like it?

"Yes. I think it's very tasty. And it feels like you're eating something different."

"Right," Jan also remarked in a quiet voice.

"A long time ago, we also had a taste of the buns with his ingredients… or it also seems to be a different impression. It's not just the lack of water and air, but the finely chopped giva meat is used so much, it feels so fresh."

"Yes. I guess the texture makes the impression different, even if the taste itself doesn't make a big difference. Personally, I prefer a regular curry made from finely chopped meat."

"Him is such a dish with such a diverse face, isn't he? We had another difficult experience."

Saying so, Jan skipped her gaze at Nicolas all the time.

"Young you will also get more. I want you to encourage me to use them as food for myself."

Nicola only said yes.

Even on the unhappy Buddha's top surface, it's no different. It was just that in those eyes there was a very serious light.

"... Speaking of which, not long ago, I had the opportunity to exchange words with the disciples of Lord Varcus"

After completing the dry curry poitan roll, Jan said so.

"With young men and women...... but did you name Miss Siri-Low to Lord Roy? He was a vegetable inquisitor in Castle Town, and he was supposed to look at me."

"Yes. What are they?

"Yes. He asked me to tell him - not that I wanted him to tell me if he ever had a chance to face Lord Asta. Lord Varcus is expecting the dishes of Lord Asta."

So Jan gave a rare, bittersweet look.

"When Easter is over, I wonder why Lord Asta can't come to Castle Town - to borrow the words of Lord Roy, he is discouraged and outraged."

"Is it outrage? I also told Roy and the others that I would be in a hurry for a while in relation to the Mountain of Morga..."

"Yes, that seems to be the story that Lord Roy and the others told us."

Indeed, last year, as soon as Easter was over, they were to be called to Castle Town. In addition to Easter, he should have been face-to-face with Varcus in relation to the ingredients of Banaam.

"After all, Miss Siri-Low said Lord Varcus was neither discouraged nor outraged, so I don't know for sure. However, it seems certain that Lord Varcus would like to meet Lord Asta."

"Oh, Vulcus is a hard man to get inside. But somehow, I think I understand the situation."

Even when it comes to indignation, I guess I'm never revealing my anger. Also, I just wanted to believe that you're not angry at me, you're concerned about the bad luck of not seeing me.

"I'm refraining from a woodside feast in a little two days, so I wonder if I can even have a meal after that... asking Varcus to give me a message is just annoying, right?

"No. Mr. Polearth just wants to talk to Lord Asta, so why don't you work from that side? We would be delighted to invite Lord Asta and Lord Varcus to your mansion."

"Oh, that would help. Let the sheikhs see you again."

At the end of the conversation, we quit Tanto's Grace Pavilion.

Joining Malfira-Naham and others, and following his way back to the woods, Kura-Sung asks in wonder.

"Asta. Is there any evil connection between you and someone named Varcus?

"No, no. Either that or Varcus... because he's obsessed with my cooking, I think he wants to see me soon"

"Really? Then you can be good at it."

Are you good at it, can you do it?

Well, even I wish I had a chance to mouth more Varcus dishes and deepen my ties with myself - or a little, the nuances felt different.

(Besides, I don't even try to touch one of Morga's mountains at all, it sounds like Varcus. When I fell asleep in "Ameshorn's Breath," I'm talking about how you were worried about me a lot... but anyway, I guess the emotions are different)

Whatever it is, it was a thankful story that Varcus wanted to see me face to face until then.

With that in mind, I'm going back to the woodland settlement.

◇

Upon returning to Fa's house, the work had already been completed.

By the time Yun-Sudra and the others arrived, they had already started cleaning up. It has been the norm in the past few months to finish your work early so that you can start your subsequent study group promptly.

"But Asta's not feeling well, is she? Will you have a study group on a day like this?

I smile back at Yun-Sudra, who asks me worryingly.

"I just figured my ankles were tight, so I guess I'll let you sit down today. I'm sorry, can you carry firewood for the chair again?

"Of course!," Yun-Sudra broke his face. It's been three days since the study group, so I'm sure you've been waiting for me. The other women had a happy look on their face.

A bunch of firewood instead of a chair is carried over a large cloth so as not to bring dirt into the cabin. It was the powerful Malfira-Naham who took the job for me.

"By study group, you mean the hands-on time of cooking, right?

I asked Kulua-Sung, my first participant, to answer, "Yes, I am."

"Street commerce, including holidays, would go around in six days, wouldn't it? In conjunction with that day, I'm assigning it to the feeling that the first day is Fa's house, the second day is Lou's house, and the third day is my personal training, wherever it is. So today's the first day of study at Fa's house."

"I see. Will I be allowed to participate in it, too?

"Of course. No wages, but you're free to participate. However, personal training days can be quite professional, so only people with any experience participate. Recently, it seems to me that Yun-Sudra, Malfira-Naham and Ray-Matua are some of the Luu family."

After explaining it that way, I often come up with ideas.

"Today, I wonder what it will be about...... is there any hope for Kulua-Sung?

"No, don't worry about me, Asta. Please make up your mind."

"No, what I want to do is make it on my personal training day, so I'd rather hope for it."

Then Krua-Sung began to shake with his developmentally privileged limbs. It is also the first fresh disclosures.

"Well then... these days, even the Sung family has started to get rid of something called sweet confectionery... I would be very grateful if you would let me train that..."

"Heh. You started making sweets at the Sung family, too."

"Yes, but... that was started in an outfit where my wishes could be heard... how distressing it is to seek that training..."

The colour of shame rose to the glossy and hissing beauty of Klua-Sung, which, coupled with the trick of twisting himself, was felt to have developed a colourful fragrance that was not always present. I think this is fifteen years old, it's a little scary.

"That's an interesting story. How did Klua-Sung become interested in sweet treats?

"Yes, on Easter night, we bought Giva food from a human stall in town… and at that time, the sweets that we had spoken of with the aroma of aloof were incredibly flavorful"

I didn't think so, and I looked at Tour-Din.

Tour-Din leans over to Kulua-Sung as he shines his eyes.

"Wasn't that maybe a bun with a pale arrow hue up to the dough? It's a treat filled with thick arrow fillings in the dough."

"Oh, yes. I think it's probably that sweet... but did you also know Tour-Din?

"Yes, that was a really great tasting treat"

It's a treat from the stall of Alou's Stuff Pavilion, where Lema-Gate holds his husband.

Kulua-sung also let his mouth down, as he echoed the look on Thur-din's face.

"Tour-Din was so good at making confectionery that he had a reputation for being called to Castle Town that I was interested in something called candy. So I bought that sweet."

"I see. But then I should have tried Tour-Din's sweets at the stall too"

When I snapped my mouth like that, Klua-Sung dyed my cheeks again.

"Tool-din seemed busy... and besides, I haven't had a chance to show my face in the last few months... and I feared that if I did, it would upset my mind. I actually showed you different places this morning..."

And so the two names began to gaze at each other, twisting themselves together.

Then the Lid women, who were listening in silence, smile and speak.

"Then I think you should mouth Thur-din's treats on this occasion. I've spoken of that aloof treat too, but I don't think Tour-Din's has lost it at all!

"Right. Let's start studying confectionery today."

This meant that sugar, braised fruit and fruit were to be brought in from the pantry.

Ask Tour-Din for a divider to devise treats that do not require as complicated procedures and expensive ingredients as possible. Sometimes returning to the beginning was a necessary training for Kamadoku.

That's how Kamado's cabin was wrapped up in a sweet scent, and after much time had passed - from the surface, I heard Zilbe's "Bauuuuu".

He was a happy voice, so I'm sure the Ai-Fas are back. I was just unavailable, so I decided to welcome my parents home.

"Welcome back, Ai-Fa.... Is that it? Rico and the others were together."

"Yes, that's where I went with Ai-Fa."

Ai-Fa had a huge giva on her back, and Rico and the others were pulling their luggage. Belton has a cheek cane on his palace, and Totos' reins are held by Van-Deiro.

"I hear you spent yesterday at Die's house. How's the costume making going?

"Yes, that's just about done, so I thought I'd interrupt Fa's house. Before we show it in the play, can you ask Asta for confirmation?

Rico heads to the carrier and Ai-Fa disappears between demolitions. In the meantime, Zilbe was saying hello back to the Braves. Sachi, who has no love, stays pulled into the house and has no sign of coming out. This was the most recent routine of Fa's house.

Eventually, Rico came back with two puppets.

I'm impressed with how well it's done.

"Again, you're doing great. So this is Balan's guy, and this is the black Schmiral-Lilyn with the hair, right?

"Yes, but I made it more of a southerly and eastern people's appearance than to make it look like you."

Rico had redesigned these puppet costumes to add more color to the puppet's play.

One, with a slender physique, has shaved brown hair and a mustache. The cloth on the face representing the skin was slightly pink white and the eyes were lit with pompous green eyes.

The other has long, dark hair, a deep brown face, and a horizontal, one-letter eye. From the neck down was covered in a cloak imitating a cloak, dressed like a young man.

"I see. By lengthening the length of your coat, you're expressing the longevity of the eastern people. But does this mean I won't move my hands and feet?

"Yes, the people of the east have less movement and are secluded, so I think it would rather not move their hands and feet like that"

"I see. So, the people of the south express that disappointing physique by stuffing under their clothes? Yeah, I think it would be great."

The people of the south, by angling their eyebrows, make a muffled look.

The people of the east after all felt that all the other puppets had round eyes, while the narrow eyes of the horizon gave a slightly humorous expression.

It looks like a people of Jagal and Sim.

And it was easy for me to overshadow Schmiral-Lilyn there.

"I'm looking forward to your unveiling day. I think the folks at Silver Pot will be very happy."

Originally, Rico and the others stayed in Genos to reveal "Kamado Asta by the Forest" using this puppet to the face of "Pot of Silver". Later, it was decided to hold a council of chiefs in the sanctuary, and the circumstances were overlapped.

"Rico and the others are going to unveil the play at another banquet, right? They decided on the feast in two days."

"Oh, you did. The work of creating an old puppet was going on at the same time, so it was a long way off."

So Rico changed his face a lot.

"By the way, I'd like to ask Asta and the others to see one more thing...... is EY-FA busy?

"I think it'll take a little longer to judge Gibba... hey, i-fa, can you come out for a second?

About thirty seconds after the word "wait a while," Ai-Fa showed up with a big huge hug. Gibba's organs are piled on top of each other.

"Better than this, I think I'll wash my organs in the water field. What can I do for you?

"I'm sorry to keep you busy. I want you to look at this."

Rico took something red out of the little bag that was hanging on his hips.

I was put on the palm of my hand. With that in my eyes, I and I-Fa are breathtaking.

It was a small, wood-carved doll.

It is a form like a corn egg, but the colour is painted to properly describe the human figure. With the same design, I got an eye-fa doll, and an eye-fa got my doll, once given to me by Rico.

And this time the doll - I didn't have to ask, he looked like Tia.

Her hair and face are dull reddish brown and her eyes glimmer brightly like garnets. Wrapped around it was a one-piece outfit bought at Fa's house, which reproduced even a properly black print on his cheeks.

"Rico, this is..."

"Yes, I apologize for making this kind of thing on my own without consulting you. I just couldn't talk to you in advance because I didn't know what would happen in the Morga Mountains."

Tightened his expression softly, Rico has told him so.

"If not necessary, I will dispose of it. But if you think you need the Astas... I'd like you to take them."

Then Belton of your table snorted, "Heh."

"People in the sanctuary can't be friends or brothers, can they? Then you don't have to make the doll memorable."

"So if it's not necessary, I'll dispose of it properly!

Rico looked worried and compared us to Belton in a strong tone.

"What do you think? I wonder if decorating the house with dolls imitating the people of the sanctuary would ever touch the laws of the kingdom..."

"... thanks. I'm so... so happy."

I let him say it that way, distressed not to spill tears.

"I want to take it.... What about I-Fa?

Ai-Fa had been pulling and knotting her lips for a long time.

Seeing that, Rico finally looked anxious - but he never missaw how I felt about Ai-Fa.

"... I think Rico's worried that Ai-Fa might be angry, huh?

"Really...? I'm not angry at anything... so I want you to feel safe."

Instead of opening the lips that were tied, Ai-Fa closed her eyelids firmly.

"From the bottom of my heart, I appreciate it.... my hands are dirty with Giva's blood, so I hope Asta receives"

"Yeah, I get it.... Rico, thank you so much"

When I gave him my hand, Rico gave me Tia's doll in a relieved manner.

It is as if the blushing red eyes will return to me once and for all.

I also decided to close my eyelids to catch tears.

"... it's Rico. You're not here today to reveal the night, or have you been decided yet?

While I was closing my eyelids, Ai-Fa asked in a low voice.

I open my eyelids slowly as I hear Rico say "no".

"I finally finished my puppet making job today, so I was thinking about putting my foot up to the settlement of Zaza or Sauti -"

"Then reveal the night at Fa's house. Is there anything different about Asta?

"Yeah, sure. Let me treat you to dinner."

"Thank you," Rico smiled uncontrollably.

But it is on this side that I would like to thank you again and again.

I don't know if it's the right thing to do to ask a doll for a good memory.

But still - I never stopped feeling Tia's warmth on this little doll in my hand.
