898 Accommodation (1) - Morning -

The next day - it is the day of the month of tea.

Pratica, Raina-Lou, Rudd-Lou, Rimi-Lou and Fa's house, which was to receive as many as four guests, were set to have an extremely busy morning.

However, the three members of the Lou family are home as soon as they wake up. The hunter, Rudd-Lou, is still waiting for his morning job, Rayna-Lou and Limi-Lou. While we were getting ready for the wash, Rudd-Lou and the others were in a hurry to get ready to leave.

"So Asta and Pratica are just around the corner again. As for the harvest festival, I'll talk to Mother Meer Ray first."

Leaving those words behind, the Raina-Loux went home in the morning.

While dropping it off, Pratica breathes softly.

"Raina-Lou, it's kind. This generosity must be rewarded."

"Right. But I don't think you need to think like a loan."

As far as the tour of the harvest festival is concerned, recognition shall be given to all the families concerned. Rayna-Lew promised me that the Lew family would take the role of listening to it.

But, well, I'm not treating Platica specially because such roles in any project are assumed by a human being in the chieftaincy muscle. The rest was what decisions the chiefs and Day-Ravitz would make.

"Then I think we should head to the washing... what will Pratica do?

"Whatever, I'll help. One meal at a time, thank you."

Pratica lifted her long, three-knit hair that was hanging on her right shoulder and put it close to the heavenly edge of her head. It is a bit like a deformed ponytail style.

In doing so, a smooth nod will be revealed, and somehow it will make me look bad.

And in the next moment, I was to feel my eating eyes flanking me. The Lord of Eye Light is, of course, the beloved parent.

"All right, then let's head to the water field!

Even if I proclaimed full of energy, I never let loose my eyesight of Ai-Fa.

That's how the three of us split up to carry a pile of cooking tools and dishes and head to the water field. Over there, the folks at Fou and Run were waiting.

Things have already been notified by the families who participated in the study group. Pratica was to respond to the questions that were flown from all sides, encouraging the washing.

(Somehow, you're totally used to welcoming guests from outside the woods)

Approximately a year and eight months ago, when I first visited the woodland, etc., it was a distant winding and cold gaze. That, of course, would have been on the side that Ai-Fa herself, who was in conflict with the Sung family, was repelled, but more than that, it was rare for outside humans to visit the woods.

Nowadays, however, numerous guests are visiting the woodland. Not to mention the Genos-based people, such as a line of architects in Jagal and a line of Deals and "Pots of Silver" and puppets - not to mention that Schmiral-Lilyn and Mimes and others were to be welcomed as fellow citizens by the woods, so let's just call it a tremendous change. Therefore, even if all the more exotic girls now revealed one night by the woods, there might not be a surprising human being or anything like that.

(At this rate, I wonder if a tour of the harvest festival would also be allowed....... well thats up to Day-Ravitz after all)

If you have finished washing, the next step is to collect firewood and vanilla at the edge of the forest. Pratica, naturally, wished to accompany him.

"Vanilla, native, you're collecting it. It's interesting."

"Yeah. I'm just picking two species, Pico and Leelo. The rest is enough to replenish the grigi nuts of the poison bug repellent."

And before the sampling operation, it is a routine water bath.

Upon arrival to the river of Rant, Ai-Fa watched Pratica as he explored.

"We cleanse ourselves in this place at this hour. What are you gonna do?

"Yes, Castle Town, time to go back, it's a waste, so I'd like to be with you"

Platica is talking about wandering the western kingdom for three years, so I guess she also had the opportunity to take a water bath in the river. Dial had previously declined to take a bath in the water when he stayed, but there seemed to be nothing to cower about her.

I keep my back on the riverside boulder as usual and wait for the i-fa's to complete the water bath. I wonder if this would be the first time anyone other than I-Fa has come to this occasion since I broke up with Tia - and it would bite off my sweet and sour memories.

Nevertheless, standing in the water bath of the person we just met yesterday is somewhat unsettling. I didn't have to feel the same comfort when I welcomed Yamil-Ray as a guest before, but I didn't care that far because Rau-Ray was with me then.

(Well, let's not think about anything extra. I guess I just got annoyed by Ai-Fa)

When I was thinking that way, I could hear Ai-Fa from across the boulder, which had always been quiet.

"... what are you staring at earlier? Seeing other people naked like that seems like a shame to me."

"Excuse me. I was just amazed."

"Amazing?"

"Yes, if you do not give birth to the children of the people of the east, you will not milk them until then, because you will not stretch them"

"Don't skip the same thing as Tia!

There was a lot of noise. I guess I decided to hit the river surface because I couldn't snap the Guest's head.

Laughing as I dull, I hit my neck muscle with a puffy cold one. Looking up, only the reddish face of Ai-Fa peeks from the top of the boulder.

"... what are you laughing at, you?

"No, I thought you were kind of smiling."

"... Asta, get your head out"

"Wow, don't get yourself into this! I need you to put your clothes on for me!

After Ey-Fa gave me some water, I went to get some firewood and vanilla. Pico and Leelo are also native to the northern part of Selva, which seems to have been a known presence for Platica.

"However, the territory of Gerd, does not exist. The climate, it's not suitable."

"Really? Gerd is adjacent to Mahydra, and the temperature is very low, right?

"Yes. Mountain snow, melting, never. Vanilla, vegetables, unique varieties, numerous."

"I see. I'm not looking forward to the day Gerd's ingredients arrive"

While picking up firewood in discipline, Pratica followed me tightly.

"Asta, you're floating"

"Yes, I'm ashamed to feel fun just thinking about unknown ingredients"

"Mood, I know. Me, too, so....... miso, tau oil, hoboi oil, all great ingredients. Mind, I'll bounce."

Its face was faceless and its eyesight remained sharp, but I guess it was Platica's heart. Had it not been for the Forestside lesson, we would have liked to share joy with each other.

"I knew it, right? Plus, I've been playing my mind, even when I met Pratica."

"Why? I'm immature. As a cook, it's not worth, it's not expensive."

"For us, it's the first eastern cook you'll ever get close to. That's all that makes my mind bounce."

That said, I tried to deliver a heartfelt smile.

"Besides, Pratica is only thirteen years old, but we're talking about wandering the West Kingdom for three years to train... and most importantly, because you have that much enthusiasm. I don't think that's ever going to be worth it"

"… excessive expectations, burdens"

After saying it with an emotionless husky voice, Pratica shook her lips tingly. Isn't this a way to smile, which Radajid and others used to show?

"But it's an honor. I'm Asta, I can meet you, my heart, I'm playing."

"Haha. If you could just say that, it would be an honor."

Again, I've been acting together since noon yesterday, on top of the same cook, and I've come to think of Platica a lot better. Raina-Lou must have decided to break a bone with the same comfort.

(Plus, I don't know what Platica is -)

And when I got caught up in an unexpected thought, I felt my gaze on the side again.

Looking back, he is peeling Pico's leaves as Ai-Fa exudes temper when he is a bobcat. This time I didn't even feel like I was in a bad mood, so I had to lean my ankle inside and lean over there.

"Hey, have I offended any ii-fa?

When I whispered sneakingly, Ai-Fa made me whisper. My proximity made Platica a dead end.

"I'm telling you, there's nothing nasty about it, is there? This is it. I'm guessing it's the kind of respect that I-Fa has for Van Deiro."

Still, Ai-Fa's lips don't go back. This was, no way, unexpected. A few days ago, we were surrounded by princes and ladies at a martial arts banquet - and we didn't really have to disturb each other.

"What is it? If there's anything you care about, say anything. I think we should clear up any misunderstandings or suspicions that Platica will continue to have."

…………

"I mean, I can't leave you with any misunderstandings or suspicions between you and I-Fa. Promise you won't have anything to hide between us?

Ai-Fa frowned a little bitterly when she snapped her lips.

Seeing these disturbing signs, Platica is moving to pick up firewood a little further away. Ever since I took a glimpse of that back, I = fa have put my lips close to my ears.

"Whenever you are not, you look at him with loving eyes. It's somewhere... it looks like the way you look at me."

"Yeah? No way -" he called, and I was supposed to hold my mouth.

Ey-fa grabs my arm all the time, biting his lips.

"You seem to have something in mind. If you think about him..."

"No, it's not. It's not. If I misled you, I apologize. I was just... I was just imagining something crazy."

"Weird imagination..."

"Yeah. Pratica's been putting three knitted hairs up there since this morning, yeah? Doesn't that hairstyle look a little like Ey-Fa? Just like the color of your hair."

With my arms held, Ai-Fa became a look of confusion.

I try my best to dissolve that anxiety in my chest as quickly as possible.

"Well, I've been thinking since yesterday that Platica's voice and eye-catching looks a little like Ey-Fa's. The fact that we don't look at each other is nothing like Ey-Fa when we met. So I... I wondered if it would be like this if I was my sister to Ai-Fa."

Ey-Fa looked completely unintended and opened his eyes wide.

I lay my head in the light, and I lay my words on top of each other.

"Pratica is a mountain folk and seems to be emitting a lot of tense signs, so I wonder if that also felt similar to Ai-Fa, the hunter.... Well, whatever, that's why. If Ai-Fa had a sister, how fun it would be to imagine her, and her stuck face might have loosened up, but I..."

Both arms of I-Fa suddenly hugged me.

And in less than a second, you push me away, and you let yourself go. After being ravaged by a hug during the storm, I was set to fall to the ground.

Looking up, Ai-Fa arms up as if nothing had happened, pointing that way. However, its side was dyed by Zhu and breathtaking and beautiful.

"... don't be in a very confusing mood. Discerning such a mood is only elusive"

"Yeah. I guess that's why humans need words."

I laughed brightly, but my heart was beating my chest more painfully. With just a moment of embrace, it was as comforting as if Ai-Fa's love had rushed all over her body.

Then Pratica, who was turning her back on this one, looked back as she pinched a large green leaf.

"This one, is it Leelo? shape, similar, but difficult to discern"

"If you can't tell, don't touch the detour. There are also skin rashes and poisonous grasses in these woods."

Ai-Fa approached Pratica slightly.

I wake up slowly as I breathe. That's how I looked at the i-fa's, and I knew their appearance looked as good as their sisters.

◇

After finishing the sampling work that way, we're finally ready under the street commerce.

At this hour, Pratica watched our work with no less seriousness than she did yesterday at the study group. It's not just me, it's like I'm trying to absorb everything greedily by testing all Kamadu's hands. The enthusiasm was not even beaten by Roy and Siri-Low, who visit the woodland every once in a while.

(I wonder what kind of dish Platica makes. I need you to show me your arms soon, too)

If you have spent about two minutes preparing below, you are leaving for the settlement of Luu.

Over there, a smiling Raina-Lou was waiting.

"My father Donda, the chief, is still asleep, so I'll tell you about the harvest festival as soon as I wake up. Zaza and Sautti are far from home so it may be a little late to reply...... I wonder if I can tell you a reply from my family attending the harvest festival by the time I finish the stall business"

"Yes. Thank you.... Raina-Lou, Inn Town, Aren't you going down?

"I am not on duty today, so I plan to head to Accommodation Town later. I hope Pratica can join us."

Raina-Lou was smiling, but Platica felt a bit of a sorry glance. I guess he's admired Raina-Lou because he's been eyeing something since last night.

Under such Pratica, Sheila-Lou and Lara-Lou, who are on duty today, also approach. This was the first time I met them.

"My name is Sheila-Lou, and I will serve as the partitioner of today's stall."

"I'm the third sister in the main house, Lara-Lew. Sister Raina and Limi, who you bonded with, are my sister and sister. Nice to meet you!

"Yes, thank you"

I'm sure even at the Lew family, Platica's personality was to be well known. Sheila-Lou and Lara-Lou's expression also did not have a strong alert color.

Pratica, after all, looks like a cautious bobcat and detects the two of them. This kind of part is a little reminiscent of I-Fa, too.

(When Ai-Fa was thirteen, I wonder if this was how it looked.... no, my dad was still alive by then, so I guess he felt more innocent)

With that thought in mind, I was headed to Cebu Town.

On that road, I decided to pass this on to Pratica.

"Raina-Lou and Sheila-Lou, the stall dividers, are often invited to Castle Town, and I think their arms as Kamadoku numbers are fingerfolding around the woods."

"Really? The street food, the house of Lew, the house of Fa, just inferior, was not. Also, it was an excellent treat from Din's house."

"It will be your Tour-Din who is partitioning Din's stalls. Her arms are folded around the woods, too."

"And it's outrageous. I'm still a young man..."

"Tool-din, name, listening. You're selling confectionery to the noblemen, aren't you? You, devised," Dafuku Cake, "how to make it, learned it."

"Yes, no, that was also originally a treat you invented by Asta..."

Speaking of which, Alvach was also given the recipe for the Dafuku cake. It was quite emotional to wonder whether Platica's great rice cakes had been served to Alvach in the land of Far Geld.

If you eventually arrive in Accommodation Town, it's a stopover visit to Milan-Math first. To this sudden offer, just Milan-Math had also turned his eyes round.

"A culinary number serving the nobility of the east wants to taste the meal served by stopping by? That's another offer that's a lot less clapping."

"Yes. Should these stories still make a fool of Tapas, the chairman of the Chamber of Commerce?

"Mm-hmm. If it's about nobility, I'll leave it to him.... or isn't this kind of story something that goes through the tapas first from the aristocracy?

Exactly, if you ask me. It is the Count Saturas family that governs the Accommodation Town in the first place, so jumping over it and proceeding on its own felt somewhat unethical.

"Pratica, shouldn't we first make a mourning to the lords of Arvach and Genos, both about the stopover and about the harvest festival?

"Yes, then, Dear Alvach, I would like to wait for your arrival, I think"

"Hmm? Are you and Alvach promising to meet somewhere?

"Yes, Master Alvach, the Giva food stall, I'm going out at any rate, he said"

If so, someone will be accompanied by Genos officials. I settled into the form that I should talk to you first.

That's why we're in the street business.

Pratica has been watching our work from the back of the stall as she waits for Arvach to arrive.

"Hey, that girl, she's been tight since yesterday? You're so passionate."

Levi whispers in a sneak whisper as he prepares for "Mizo Tailored Kimmus Bone Ramen". While I was getting ready for "Gibba Meat Eggs," I asked him to answer, "Right."

"To that enthusiasm, you'll lose your mind. By the way, I might join you at the inn drop by, so thank you then."

"Ha. That much enthusiasm just scares me a little bit."

Saying it that way, Levi's expression was flamboyant. If we haven't repelled Platica's existence, you don't have to say anything extra.

That's how I started trading stalls, about half an hour later - just at the same time as yesterday, the Arvahs came back.

This time, however, it appears in a fine Totos car in Castle Town. From the Totos car, which stopped at the entrance to the Inn Town, many more people descended loosely.

"Hey, I'm sorry about the job, Lord Asta. Let me buy you some more dishes for you in Gerd today."

The first person who has spoken that way was Polearth.

In addition, even Melfried, Fermes and Gemd face each other, with multiple martial officers added there. It was just at the time of finishing the first rush of the morning, but it was enough facial rash to keep the people in and out of the sky.

Now I have to put my back down and deal with you, too. Asking Ray-Matua and Kulua-Sung to leave a message just like yesterday, Sheila-Lou also rushed over from the stalls of the Lou family.

"Oh, I'm so sorry. I would also like to thank Lord Pratica over and over again."

"Yes, I'd like to talk to you about that Pratica..."

That's how I told him about the leaning in and the harvest festival from my mouth, and Polearths decided to round his eyes as well.

"It's... it's just one night, and it's probably something that's spread out."

"Yes. As a forest folk, how should we take Platica's offer?

Then Melfried, who was silently listening, advanced. The grey eyes emitting that moonlighted light look in turn at me, Pratica and Sheila-Lou.

"With regard to the treatment of your platika cooking number, I accept the word from Lord Alvach that I want to leave it to the will of the people by the woods. It is not necessary to consider the smudges between the nobles, etc., so I would like to leave it to the judgment of the people by the woods... so I hope so, Lord Alvach?

"Uhm. Platica, crude, treated, if to be taken, it is the person, the responsibility. We, don't speak out, I swear."

After saying it that way, Alvach combined the fingertips of a huge, fractured hand like Tarantula.

"… but last night, when it comes to staying, it is my offer. I am deeply grateful for your comfort. sooner or later, I want to tell you the house of Fa, the house of Luu, the words of gratitude, once again"

"No, I'm also glad to be able to connect you with Pratica. … So what do we do about stopping by?

Alvach turned his gaze towards Melfried silently.

Melfried glances quietly at "Hmm".

"Again, that's not our concern… I guess we should talk to the Earl Saturas family beforehand. Let's do that here. Soon a messenger will be delivered to the Chairman of the Chamber of Commerce, so you can proceed there."

"Yes, I'm not inviting you, so the Chairman of the Chamber of Commerce won't step on either."

When Fermes raised his voice that way, Melfried looked back at you.

"So Lord Fermes will never wish for a spectator, either, will he?

"Yes. I've seen the lodging stop before. … and if you go out to me, you'll put a lot of extra effort on a lot of people."

In the shadow of a deeply tilted hood, Fermes cringed and laughed.

"Let's just say that I only wish to be accompanied when Lord Alvach and the others are at home. I'm sure you'll need an interpreter."

"Um. Lord Fermes, gracious, grateful, thinks"

Ever since I mentioned it in a heavy voice, Alvach has looked down at me.

"We, at present, Castle Genos, are welcoming and receiving. You see, if I made a paragraph, would I be forgiven for Fa's house, mumbling?

"Yeah, of course. Parents intend to do the same, so please contact us whenever you feel comfortable."

"I = fa, asta, warmth, thank you.... So, giva food, buy, okay?

"Yes, please enjoy it in full"

So I got another new offer. Alvach and the others will finish their meals in the Totos car, so they want us to be there.

"I'm sorry. Thank you, too."

And it is Nanaqem who has bowed his head. I don't know why he has to be so cliché.

"Alvach, yesterday, I couldn't think, feel, tell. Last night, that mindless, erupting, me, for no reason, was supposed to feel and be heard. Alvach, it is a disease"

When they told me that, I couldn't say no without them.

By Jomtien, I will accompany Totos to the car with the promise that I will send him back to the stall. Different items from yesterday were "Giva Meat with Eggs" and "Cream Stew", as well as "Miso Tailored Kimmus Bone Ramen", so we decided that you would enjoy those three dishes.

Try to disturb the Totos car, there is a fine carpet on the floor. He said he was specially prepared for the nobles of Gerd, who don't like chairs very much. We were supposed to take off our footwear at the entrance and form a car seat there.

He can buy dishes in Alvach, in Nanaquem, in Pratica, even in Melfried and Polearth. Originally a large Totos car with about ten humans relaxing, but expanding to cooking with this number of people, the capacity was quite close to the limit.

Me and Sheila-Lou kneel down by the entrance and watch your precious people mouth the dish for a moment. but when he mouthed 'Gibba Meat Eggs', Alvach was to preach long eastern words to the fleshy Fermes.

"... Yes, I understand. So, are you sure you want Asta, too?

"Yes, thank you"

"Okay, I'll tell you. … This dish also feels that the properties of tau oil are utilized in a wonderful way. Perhaps Jagal sugar and liquor are used, but their distribution is brilliant. Also, would it be the stock brought from the giva meat that is adding further depth there? Or would it be smoked fish or seagrass stock brought from the King's Capital in the west? Probably the latter. I would like to pay tribute to Asta's concern for not being chronic there and not sparing any further effort, even if only tau oil, sugar and alcohol would serve a high degree of harmony. I always thought that Asta was one major factor that was different from a hundred cooks, even if it was the presence of the underlying stock behind strong flavoring."

"Yes, thank you for your excessive words"

It was time for Fermes to take his breath, and I made him do so.

Of course, I am aware that the review does not end there. That's how long Alvach had been telling Fermes.

"... and the skill of intertwining Kimmus eggs there is also excellent. The eggs, which are so well fed, are soft both yellow and white, and that is in perfect harmony with the juice of tau oil. Although Kimmus eggs originally appear to be ingredients with a more delicate taste than Totos eggs, their delicacy intertwines with the juice of tau oil like silk thread, weaving the taste in fantasy. And since the egg dish, which was completed on its own, is a delicate way to decorate the giva meat more luxuriously, I can't feel it. Giva meat tightened with salt and pico leaves wrapped around the juice of eggs and tau oil, while the lady dressed in a feast costume, and the samurai wrapped around the armor. This taste, combined with luxury and bravery, has caught my great anxiety when I wonder if I can't fully explain it using the language of my hometown."

"No, Alvach's words are always a great encouragement"

Then, now Alvach himself has spoken in the Western language.

"This dish is brilliant. But I, two mindless, have. Is its content, perception, and possibilities?

"Two thoughts?," I thought.

Of course, I didn't have the confidence to say how Alvach felt - but my answer was, I could find it right away.

"Right. If this wasn't a stall, and we were serving it to Alvach at supper... there's room to elaborate on about two things."

"Hmm. What is that craftsmanship?

"First of all, you just want this dish to be served in a granular chaska, not a baked poitan. The other point is… I would like to add spices based on chits."

Alvach crushed something in the eastern language, shaking about the giant.

That's probably a reflexively spilled word. Fermes conveyed its contents along with an elegant smile.

"It seemed to be precisely those two points that Lord Alvach felt. I'm very surprised to see why you could have guessed."

"More in my hometown, this dish was eaten along with ingredients similar to Chaska's. The same goes for the spices on the back. … so it's up to me to speculate that if you were born in Alvach, you would want chaska and spices"

Alvach screwed something up in the eastern language. Fermes conveys its contents in a relaxed tone.

"It took me a long time to guess that I would not have been able to prepare Chaska for this one to be a street food. But why didn't you use spices? I think the flavor of vanilla, starting with the chit fruit, will be harmonious for this flavoring... Asta said the spice on the back hanging. If there is an inevitability that needs to be put on the back, let me know."

"Right. A chit fruit is when heat is added, the flavor and flavor can degenerate. I think it would be more harmonious to hang this dish later rather than adding chit fruit to the broth… Also, if you are a West or South customer, it didn't seem like many people would consider spice spiciness unnecessary, so I wasn't even willing to use it. Even in my hometown, only those who want to add spiciness use it in the back hanging, but this cafeteria hasn't established a method for the back hanging seasoning yet, either."

After I said it that way, I made Alvach laugh.

"And what I would like to use in this dish is a spice called Seven Flavors Chit. But before that, I think I also served a seven-flavored chit to Alvach... Was that," Giva Bone Ramen "?

"Uhm. It is a wedding feast, Schmiral-Lilin, Vina Luu-Lilin"

"Oh, I knew you would, didn't I? That seven-flavored chit assembles the flavor even more delicately than regular chit fruit, so adding heat ruins the flavor all the more.

"I see. I understand. It's asta, wisdom, sensibility."

Alvach seemed convinced, but there were still words left on my side to tell.

"Just one more thing, if I were to serve this dish at dinner, I might want to use 'giva cutlets' instead of regular giva meat"

"Giba Katsu," Alvach repeated in a clear intonation.

"Previously, along with 'Giba Katsu' and Chaska, it had been offered. At that time, it was flavored and miso. This dish, water and gas, how much, I can feel it, but 'giva cutlet', will it be harmonious? Stunning clothing, texture, wouldn't it be damaged?

"It can be a matter of preference there, but it's been well received by the woods. And, actually, even in my hometown, it was more mainstream to use cutlets than to use vegan meat, right? When using meat of vegetables, they used the meat of birds, which is the lord of eggs, and were referred to as' bowls of parents and children ', etc. If you use meat that has nothing to do with eggs, it's a bowl of other people."

"Interesting. Am I, to taste everything, to wish for, to be arrogant?

"No. When you get a chance, would you like me to prepare all the dishes and compare them to you?

"... asta, warmth, thank you"

Alvach closed his eyelids as he felt them.

Nanaquem, who was quietly eating, speaks up there for the first time: "Alvach".

"Asta, till Jomtien, is a promise. The first dish, time, would be too much"

"... I, finally, Asta, thought, words, delivered. At that moment, for the past two months, I've been waiting. Mind, don't bother, naturally, it seems"

Answer like that, and then Alvach will stare at my face.

I sent you another smile.

"Yes. I'm kind of... it seems like I'm starting to get the feeling that I'm finally reunited with Alvach. Best regards, Gerd"

Alvach nodded heavily before shivering his mouth slightly.

Maybe it was a trick to smile.
