894 Again ① ~ Arrival ~

It was the thirtieth day of the silver moon that they came to Genos.

From the Melfrid winning martial arts club, five days later - the last day of the silver month, the first month after the beginning of the year.

We made the day of the martial arts club an extraordinary working day, and the next day was a switching holiday, so the 30th day of the silver month would be the fourth day of the five-day working day. Thus, on the holiday two days later, it was also the due date for the harvest festival, which would finally be held jointly in Sung and Meme with the Ravitz blood family.

Those families set the day for the harvest festival because what a day to coincide with the street holidays. Me and I-Fa had been invited as couriers, so the holidays were more convenient.

This was a groundbreaking story, considering that it was Ravitz's house that was taking the lead in the Joint Harvest Festival. But they were the most healthy of the houses of Pha and their families by the woods.

Of course, after last year's Parents' Conference, he had come to fully acknowledge the deeds of Fa's house, and in recent years he had brought multiple blood families into the street commerce. Also, he was so aggressive during Easter that he couldn't beat the rest of his family that he went out to see what was going on in the Inn Town. In that sense, I guess there is already no difference with the other clans.

However, the head of the Ravitz main house is that Day-Ravitz.

That Day-Ravitz, in view of the circumstances of Fa's house, decided on a harvest festival date - which may well be a rude word, but it was an amazing thing for me and Ai-Fa.

Together, the Joint Harvest Festival is now approaching.

They showed up in Genos in such a fun and rushing time to make their hearts jump at the arrival of the Joint Harvest Festival, one after another in the aftermath of the fight.

◇

The first thing we heard was the amazement of the people on the road.

The stall was about finished peaking first thing in the morning, so the carving limit would be around half an hour before Jomtien. The guests' feet calmed down to visit the stalls, but the traffic was overflowing with many people, and the Blue Sky dining room was very busy at that time.

"Hey, what's up, huh? You're a toss like a monster!

It was words like that that I heard from the commuters.

I wonder what the hell is going on, and when I look across the street, the approximate people are looking north. From the north side of the main street, open to the north and south, there seems to be some amazing group looming.

Driven by curiosity, I rode myself out of the stall - to be caught in another kind of surprise with the people I was traveling to and from.

"Wow, this guy surprised me....... Ray-Matua, can I leave you with the stall for a second?

"Yes, of course."

Ray-Matua, who was giving trainee Krua-Sung a hand in boiling pasta, smiled and dropped me off.

When I jumped out into the street, Rayna-Lew was about to come out of another stall. That was the northerner one, so I decided to rush to Rayna-Lew from my side.

"Hi, Raina-Lou. You came out of nowhere."

"Yes. Exactly. Come on, I'm going to be surprised"

We stumbled into a street stall and waited for the group to arrive.

Even if it is a group, there are four of them. Four travellers, each spanning separate tototosses, were approaching us at once.

But being such an eye-catching traveler would have been hard.

Whatever they are, they span the Totos, dubbed "like a monster". We were well aware that it was never exaggerated.

It was the first time I had ever seen such a huge totoss. Though they showed off many of the noblemen's fine tototosses in the early runs - they were still so huge, I didn't even remember seeing them.

The tototos we're familiar with is about three meters tall. However, it includes an older neck, and the height from the ground to the back would be approximately one and five meters. Though I am now completely used to seeing it, it is a giant scarebird in my hometown when it was extinct far back in the day.

But the Totos, who are currently coming this way, seemed to be more gigantic around than that.

He seems to be only 30 centimeters tall and has a proportionate and successful physique. It had meat firmly on its neck, torso and both legs, making it look like it no longer wanted to be called a dinosaur rather than a scarebird.

Covering its stubborn giant are blackened, grey-brown feathers. Totos, who is looked after in the northern settlements, was also much blacker, but even darker in colour than that, and feels standing if feathered a lot. That's what makes this toss look so intimidating again.

The giant beak is covered with hammered, and the rider holds the nagging reins from it. Saddles were installed on the back and large bags of load were lowered on the left and right sides of the torso.

And - the people holding that reins were also unbeatable enormity by Totos.

He hides his face and physique with a hooded cape, but his silhouette alone reveals a splendid physique. Especially the leading man is a big man who wonders if it will be two meters. Now it was natural for the people of the Inn Town to be afraid.

That's how the giant Totos stops in front of us, gazing at us all.

From the shadow of the deeply worn hood, the glowing blue eyes looked down at me. So I was more confident that I wasn't making a difference.

"Welcome to Genos, Alvach. I'm so glad to see you again."

"Uhm. Asta, Raina-Lou, seems magnificent and above all"

With a voice as heavy as a grunt, he greeted me back that way.

Even if he's hiding his face in the hood, he can't possibly see them wrong. They were the nobles of Gerd, located in the north of Sim - none other than Alvach and Nanaqem.

Gerd and Genos have a deal in place. We talked about having to wait for the end of Easter for that to begin, so it was time to get along. So it took me and Raina-Lou to get ready.

"Forestside settlements, change, how about it? It is a reunion, a pleasure, chiefs"

"Yes. The chiefs will be delighted, I'm sure. … So, in this Inn Town of Genos, there is an arrangement that you should not walk while riding Totos…"

"Right. The arrangement, unknown."

Alvach descended to earth in a flickering manner. It's a light-hearted thing you can't imagine from that giant.

And it shall come to pass, that the people behind them shall also descend into the earth. Watching it, I was supposed to sneak my neck off on the way.

Totos had four heads, but if you try to get down from it, the number of humans is increasing to five. It seems that only one Totos was riding two passengers.

Well, that's not a strange story in itself. There is no way that the nobles of Gerd, Alvach and Nanaqem, will come without escorts, or rather this would still be too small a number. When the nobles of the King's capital in the west visit Genos, they are accompanied every time by a hundred soldiers.

Only I thought it odd because only one of them was much smaller.

Because you're surrounded by swollen big men, you look so small. In fact, compared to me, about 10 centimeters would be small. And it was smaller than Arishna, the woman of the same people of the east.

Who the hell is that? - And when I tried to ask, I squirmed more behind my back. Looking back, the guards were about to rush over, sending people who were seeing the Alvach. The number of people is four, and it is Mars, the platoon leader, who is at the head of it.

"Who are you people? Until just now, I think you've been walking on this spot with Totos on."

"Oh, Mars, these people..."

When I called it that, Nanaqem came in from behind Alvach.

"We, the lodging town, the arrangement, were unknown. Unknowingly, the law of Genos, broken, regrettable"

"Hey, how about that? Anyway, take that headscarf off. Depending on what you're doing, let me talk to you in the jar."

The Nanaqems did not hesitate to remove the hood.

At the same time, the people around them scream "oh". Even the people of the lodging towns, familiar to the people of the east, will still be amazed by the look of the people of Gerd.

Visiting Genos as a pedestrian is a people of the meadows, even in the same Sim. They, the people of the mountains of Gerd, were the same as the people of the meadows in that they had high nose beams in the eyes of the truncated lengths, and black skin on thin lips, but at the same time they had an angular face like a rock mass.

To put it further, Alvach has burning redhead and blue eyes, while Nanaquem has black brown hair and purple eyes. The people of the meadow had many dark-haired, dark-eyed humans, so their shades would have been a huge impact as well. For me and for the first time, the other three had colorful hair and eyes.

So - the person who was once small still seemed to be a woman. He seems a lot sharper in sight compared to Arishna, but he is a very sharp face and a lot more relaxed in stature. The colour of the hair is golden brown and the colour of the eyes is deep purple. It's hard to guess your age, but well, you'd still be old enough to call yourself a girl.

"Genos, Accommodation Town, Peace, Gonna Shake, None. Forgiveness, I wish."

And now Alvach raised his voice heavily.

"I, the lord of 'Ger', the eldest brother, am Alvach-Germftan"

"I, the lord of the 'd', my eldest brother, am Nanaquem-do Chevaliya"

"Is that, lord? A clan lord means that..."

Mars had a puzzling look on his face, so I decided to give him a rescue ship.

"A clan lord in the east is a lord in the west. These are the sons of a lord of the land called Gerd of Sims."

The guards, other than Mars, were at their knees. If Gerd finds out it's a bigger territory than Genos, he'll lose all complexion.

But Mars had the gall to sit on him and snapped low, "Well," he said.

"A while back, a noble man from Gerd was visiting Genos. Are you here to apologize for the Hurricane bandits threatening Genos or something?

"That's right, I see. Sorry to disturb you."

Then, without Alvach, he advanced a long way.

"Failure, committed, is us, asta, apology, unnecessary. We, how should we redeem, teach, wish"

"... spanning Totos in an accomodation town is not a crime enough to result in punishment. Unless, of course, it hurts people."

Mars must have squeezed his expression and said so.

"We are also curious to hear about your visit not only to the castle towns, but also to this lodging town and woodland settlements. Does this mean you visited this stall?

"Hmm. Exactly."

"If so, could you please keep Totos somewhere? That will be the accommodation town arrangement."

Alvach narrowed his eyes to the urchin.

"We, Guiba, have eaten, then we plan to head to Castle Town. Just a few moments, tototos, depositing, what place, would it be appropriate?

"... if you eat the food, you plan to head straight to Castle Town?

"Uhm. If it were meant to be, Castle Genos, first, we should head. But the food in the stall, it damaged my eating, I was afraid, so here, I was supposed to come. After a meal, you should head for Castle Genos."

"Really?" Malus replied, chewing his sigh to death.

"Then let us keep Totos for you. Please let us know when your meal is ready, as we are holding you back in the open space over there."

"... I want to ask you, your name,"

Mars got a slightly challenging look.

"My name is Mars, 2nd Platoon Commander, 5th Platoon, Saturas District Guard."

"Platoon leader Mars. Thank you for your kindness."

Alvach stuck out his right hand clutching the reins.

Mars looks back at his men as he receives his reins from his hand, as big as a glove.

"Hey, you guys take care of the reins."

"Ha ha... this tototos, it doesn't attack humans...?

Nanaquem nodded as one of the guards surprised him to reach out and handed him the reins over there.

"Worry, it's useless. Totos, for no reason, man, attacking, none."

Each of the Totos, whose masters held the reins to the uninhabited, looked down gently at the lower realm. Compared to Gill and the others, they are sharp tototosses with sharp eyes.

As the Mars walked away into the empty space across the street, Alvach turned to us once again.

"In addition to my work, I make noise, and I am afraid. Would it be possible to cook, buy, or make Giva food?

"Yes, of course.... By the way, who are you taking with you?

"These two are escorts. identity, is a soldier"

Both names with an unbeatable and quintessential appearance by Alvach come silently to salute them.

"And this man, the people by the woods, I wanted to make out, I wished. Name yourself."

"I understand," the mysterious girl advances.

"I, Lady Alvach, serve Pratica-Ger-Armaya."

It was a tone that sounded much smoother than the Alvach's while having a unique intonation.

Besides, he has a bit of a husky charming voice. Ever since I met Ai-Fa, I've become so fascinated by the husky voices of women.

"Is it Pratica? Nice to meet you. My name is Asta from Fa's house."

"My name is Raina-Lou, my next sister in the main house of Lou"

"Greetings, thank you. It's me, Ger, the lord's mansion, the cooking number."

In a calm tone, Platica pokes her sharp blade-like glance. I know you're not grudgingly angry, but it's an unlikely sight for the people of the meadows. After all, even women, do mountain people have a brave temper?

"Pratica, to train, to pile, Genos, I let him accompany me. Street stalls, giva food, I want to wish."

"I understand. It's just hands-on time, so I wonder if we can get it to you without waiting for any dishes"

At this point, so me and Rayna-Lew decided to escort them. Because they are exotic dignitaries, they are never allowed to be crude.

"How much do you want us to do? Approximately two or three meals, and I think my stomach will swell -"

"First of all, I want to make sure of all the food, the flavors, the After that, I'd like to consider additional minutes."

"I see. Shall we say that the dishes of wood dishes that can be divided into pieces are for one serving, and the dishes that can be eaten by hand are for the number of people?"

Today's lineup was "Fried Giva," "Carbonara with Giva and Nanar," "Kerr," "Giva Burger with Nenon Sauce," "Tau Oil-tailored Moto Pan," "Mime Stream Miso Stewed," and "Chocolate Mann".

"Oh, how about this ramen? The stock is Kimmus bone gala, but we also use Gibba meat."

As Alvach folded the giant and peered inside the stall, Levi pulled himself back "whoa," then cheered his mouth "there you are".

"I heard you interact with the guards. How about one of our dishes?

"... would it be you, the lodging town, the inhabitants?

"Yeah. I'm being kind enough with Asta and the folks by the woods. This ramen was originally the dish that Asta taught me. Then it was me and my dad, and we were going to put our hands on it."

Next to Levi, Lars is smiling, too.

"Interesting," Alvach snapped.

"Make sure you want it. Pratica, get the copper coins."

"Yes," Pratica offered the copper coin. I guess I had an exchange opportunity on the road so far. It's not a round copper coin to the east, it's an elongated copper coin to the west.

"Every time. Is it okay for one serving?

"Uhm. If it's delicious, again, I want it"

"That's an arm ringing," Levi laughed again. There seems to be nothing to be afraid of you. [M] Lately, Yumi also had many opportunities to be seen as an aristocrat at a feast by the woods, so within listening from there, Levi might have been immune as well.

That also earns Levi and Lars' Tau Oil-tailored Kimmus Bone Ramen, and turns his foot to the Blue Sky Dining Room. There was just a table where only the people of the east were seated, so we were to ask for seats there.

"If you like, use this one"

At the service, wood plates and wooden keys for sorting were placed on the table. The five guests uttered words of gratitude before taking up each wooden key.

For Alvach and Nanaquem, there will also be many known dishes. Alvach first stabbed 'Fried and Grilled Giva' with a triple processed wooden spoon and let it go into his big mouth without hesitation.

"This is… the dish I ate before, seems slightly different"

"Ah, yes." Giba Katsu "was served before, wasn't it? This is called" Fried Giva "-"

"It was the fat of Giva before, but here, it is vegetable oil. Also, the thickness of the meat, very different"

"Yes. This is street food, so..."

"Because of the food, the speed and the demands of the stalls, meat, thinning, will be inevitable. Giva meat, bite hard, be weakened, thoughtless. And gibberish meat, and clothes to cover, and simplicity. Previously, fuwano flour, processed, irresistible texture, produced, but here, mediocre. And the fat of the giva, because it is not used, the flavor of the giva, is weakened. Simplified, stuck, powerful, lost, mindless"

"Yes. Sorry for not meeting your expectations."

"Apologize, it is unnecessary. The quality of the dish, the fact that it fell, undeniably, but this dish, because of its simplicity, is giva meat, quality, high quality, proof. I, mindless thoughts, will not disappear, but the food in the street, it will be worthy. It's the right place, the right food, what you can serve, asta, talent."

"Alvach," Nanaquem raised his voice.

"We, Castle Genos, should hurry. Every dish, every dish, every thought, every conveyance, will be greeted by sunset."

Alvach nodded unwillingly, putting his hands on another dish as well.

I haven't been reunited with them in roughly two months, but they both look the same. Alvach, who had been silent for a while, uttered 'Kerryaki' and spoke again as if he could not be seen.

"Asta, this dish..."

"Alvach"

"… delicious. condiments, formulations, exquisite."

I chewed off my laughter and let him answer, "Thank you."

"What you're using there will be jagal tau oil and kel root, plus sugar and red mammalian fruit liquor.... but you plan to be able to buy Jagal ingredients from Genos too, right?

"Um. Miso, tau oil, kel roots, all, are candidates"

"Speaking of which, are the people who brought the ingredients already in the castle town?

And it was Nanaqem who replied, "No."

"Ingredients, carry, luggage, arrive, to come. Be three days, later."

"Oh, really?... Oh well. You two talked about being separated from the luggage truck."

If you pull the luggage, even the stubborn Totos of Gerd will be on every journey to Genos for a month. My lord's first son, he said, plans to travel back and forth across Totos in order to shorten their time away from home as much as possible.

"Totos, if it spans, to Genos, it is ten days. We, departure, three days or so, if we match up, we should have arrived at the same time. … all, Alvach, brave feet, is the cause"

"... we, than the luggage truck, are behind, disrespectful. So, loosen up, right, I think."

"We, three days ago, the luggage truck, caught up. If we don't chase through, rendezvous, at the same time, we arrive."

"Three days, first thing first, three days, Giva food, you can enjoy it. The opportunity, the loss, the carelessness"

The two speak facelessly as they move forward with their meals. Such an appearance was as much as I missed it.

And - Alvach's eyes opened slightly.

It's just the right time to mouth "Mime Stream Miso Stewed".

"This dish… is the first time"

"You will be Mim's devised dish that has become Lew's family. I think Mim was still treating you as a guest when you two were here before... and then she was to be welcomed as a blood family."

When Raina-Lou gave a polite explanation, Alvach swayed every bit of a giant. Nanaquem sighs at the appearance.

"Alvach, long thoughts, should be cautious"

"No... To cook, to perceive, to describe, is the word of the west, the shortage. Fermes diplomat, interpreter, necessary"

Alvach has looked at me with a bright eye with more light.

"Mim, my daughter, I remember. The daughter, Asta, would you have handled it?

"No. Mim is handy with her father, Michelle. However, we have study groups together, so I guess there are some aspects that are influencing each other a lot."

"Interesting," he snapped low, and Alvach looked back at your platika daughter, who had always been silent.

"Pratica, I let you accompany me, right, I think. Pratica, what do you think?

"Yes. I, am amazed. These dishes, all delicious, I think"

While answering with a comfortable husky voice, Pratica has compared me to Raina-Lou.

In its eyes, there still seemed to be a strong light that Alvach could not beat.
