926 Mission of the King's Capital in the South ⑤ - Welcome Supper

"We will now take you to the venue of the dinner party"

I didn't even give it to the Ai-Fas for a breath, and the samurai have offered it that way.

Supper parties are often held roughly half an hour before sunset, but I'm sure their engraving is only a few minutes away. All this should have been the responsibility of the Roblos, who have made sudden offers.

Drive through corridors made of reddish stones and bricks, guided by the samurai. After all, there's no one else in the corridor.

"Now, let me show you your name here, and we invite you to come in that order"

And that's how they said it in front of the door. Even though this is not a feast but an evening party, it is quite reclining.

Apparently, the order of entry was prescribed in advance meetings. The top batter was, of course, the chief Dali-Souti.

In addition, Ziza-Lou, Raina-Lou, Rimi-Lou, Gazran-Loutim and Dan-Loutim of the Loutim family continued, and Shinji is the Ai-Fa and me of Fa's house.

We are greeted with more modest cheers than the usual feast, and we enter one room at a time. There were supposed to be about thirty people invited to this evening's dinner party, with the exception of the people by the woods.

First of all, there are eight special missions from the southern capital of Wang. Robros, Forta, the clerk, and five probable martial arts officers.

The Marquis de Genos family are: Malstein, Melfried, Eurifia and Odifia. Count Turan's houses are Lefreia and Tolsto. The Counts of Dalaim are Polearth and Merrim. The Earls of Saturas are Ruidros and Leeheim. Besides, the diplomat and his companion were supposed to be involved.

And then to diplomats Fermes and Aug, Alvach and Nanaquem, who will be part of the jump in. Now that there are 24 of them, they must be inviting my stranger, my lord and lady, etc.

The dinner party for the return once held by the Arvakhs was 20 people, with the exception of the Kamadoku number by the woods, so it would be 50% more than that. As for the dinner in Castle Town where we keep the cook, there was no doubt that it was the largest ever.

"The cooks by the woods, they've had a hard time. I would now like to begin a dinner party to welcome the people of the mission in Jagal"

Malstein, arrayed in the back of the room, proclaimed it that way with a voice that often passed.

Today, the format of the meeting meal has also become unusual. Though a large round table is set up all over the venue, there is no such thing as a fixed seat, a style that allows everyone to move the place as they please and eat their favorite dishes in a buffet format. It was only in this way that Malstein took care of it when he told us that limiting it to six dishes and unifying it with dishless dishes was a strain for us.

At the moment, everyone is standing up and listening to Malstein. Our prepared dishes were arranged sloppily between the left and right walls, and we refrained from a large number of maids and surnames. In addition, some of them had eaten a cup of wine in a basin, and eventually the same was delivered to us, which had been consolidated in a corner of the hall.

"Tomorrow we are scheduled to hold a formal feast at Castel Genos, but at this evening's dinner we had all the dishes handled by the cooks by the woods. I hope the mission and the Genos who gathered to welcome it will enjoy it"

That being said, Malstein raised the liquor cup he had received from the samurai high.

"So bless Jagal and Selva's friendship"

Without raising their voices like the people by the woods, the noble men gracefully raised their own cups.

That's how the dinner party starts, and one of the samurai approaches me.

"Dear Asta, Marquis Marquis Marstein wishes to explain the dishes to the members of the mission"

"I understand," he replied, and then I looked back at Dari-Sauti.

Dari-Sautti laughs forcefully and puts up a glass of liquor with a loose trick.

"We're going to start by exchanging words with the rest of the mission. I asked you first, because you're going to have a face there."

"I got it," Ai-Fa responded with a harsh look. It's a feast costume, but I'm still worried that I'll have to explore the truth about Roblos for Lefreia and the others.

But I feel the same way. I strongly hoped that the Roblos, who unraveled their hearts with alcohol and cooking, would give them a peek at a different face than during the day.

That's how we walked behind the hall, guided by the samurai - but without taking many steps, we said, "Oh!" I was to be stopped by a loud voice.

"Hilarious, Lord Asta to Lord Ai-Fa! I'm so glad to see you again in this place!

Ai-Fa was dropping her shoulders disappointingly faster than looking back in the raised direction of her voice.

"... why are you here?

"If you ask me why, I won't tell you because I've been invited! No matter how much I am, you can't dive into an uninvited dinner party!

As you can see, it was Devious, the militia captain. It is roughly the first reunion in a month since the Martial Arts Feast.

Devious wore the white courtesy of a martial artist today. It is the style of a magnificent samurai if silent, but it is Devious who is not silent. Devias stared around from top to bottom at the eye-fa in the feast costume as he twinkled his brown eyes strong and bright.

"Uhm, it's really beautiful! Not only is it beautiful, but it's a tough glimmer to be a hunter, but it also gives its beauty a brilliant shine! I don't think there's anybody else but Lord Ai-Fa, such as a woman with all this sobriety and luster!

…………

"Oh, um, complimenting your appearance didn't fit into the woodland lesson, did it? But it's hard to stop talking when you're made to look so beautiful after a month. Can't we hope for forgiveness somehow just to keep up with the moment we meet and run our mouths about beauty?

As Ai-Fa was holding her mouth on the top of the Buddha, the samurai suddenly "Um" seemed sorry.

"May I, Master Devious? These two were guided to Lord Genos."

"Under Marquis Genos, that means you're with the mission, right? Then let me join you in saying hello!

With that word, I was supposed to be stimulated by my memory nest.

"Um, does Devious have a face-to-face with a soldier named Forta?

"Hmm? How does Lord Asta know such a thing?

"That's what Gardell told me when he came to Accommodation Town. At that time, I didn't even want to be named..."

"Mm-hmm. I barely exchanged drinks with Lord Forta. He was a great, magnificent southerner!

I nodded, I was to put my mouth under Ai-Fa's ear.

"If Devious knew Forta and her face, wouldn't it make it easier to open your mind over there? Devious would have nothing to do with the notion of being familiar with people as much as Dan-Rutim would have."

"... regardless of our mood or anything, he will follow on his own"

Then Devious, who was looking down at us, gave a difficult voice, "Uh-huh."

"That's how you get along so well, you're finally two suits. As the same boy, Lord Asta will have a strong envy!

"... you didn't have a chance to learn something called clinginess or reluctance until you were that age?

Ai-Fa dazzled Devious's face, dyeing her cheeks slightly.

Devious glances slightly at his upper body as he holds down his forehead, "Oh."

"That's how I get disturbed when Lord Ai-Fa dyes my cheeks. If this had been an indistinguishable young man, it would have been a matter of courtship."

"... that's like a discerning word right now"

"Can't this be a splendid division, too, because I swallow the unexpected admiration and hope for the happy end of Lord Ai-Fa and Lord Asta?

The more words we exchanged, the harder Ai-Fa seemed to recruit. Devious's words are so linear that they shame me me up to me.

(But because you're like this, you're going to be compatible with the people of the South)

With that in mind, we were once again set to go behind the hall.

The Malsteins were already seated at the roundtable in the deepest place. Marstein, Roblos, Forta, Alvach, Nanaquem, and Fermes are also foolish blushes. Gemd had turned into the shadow of Fermes and stood in secret instead.

"Oh, thank you for your hard work, it's Ai-Fa to Asta.... Oh, did Devious come too?"

"Yes, I've connected you with your Lord Forta before."

Devious smiled with a big mouth. After all, the Forta is better - I'm swimming my eyes exactly why.

"Then you should take your seats. I'm just out of seats."

"This is a thankful offer. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'll catch you."

Ever since I said it that way, Devious has turned to my ear.

"Lord Asta, in these places a companion draws a woman's seat."

It's not a feast today, so I wasn't in the position of being an ai-fa companion either - but I didn't want to give the part to the others, so I let them pull all the chairs that were near ai-fa.

Ai-Fa sits down with "umm" as she tilts her little neck. Me and Devious were supposed to calm down in that left-right outfit.

"If you are Devious, you must know Lord Roblos and all of Gerd's nobles. As knights of Genos, welcome your guests."

"Whatever you say, Lord Genos. There won't be much opportunity to welcome you to the south and east at the same time."

That, of course, would have been what Devious said. While scissors Malstein and Fermes were in between, the southern and eastern guests were weaving a truly heavy atmosphere.

"I made an offer to my lowest surname to carry the food appropriately. Take the trouble, but I'd like to explain the dishes."

"I understand. … there will be few dishes that Fermes can't mouth, but please don't"

"Of course it is. I can't apologize to all of you if you let me give you the breadth of my dedication."

Even as we speak, Roblos and Alvach keep their mouths shut. Alvach and his men would be wearing things rough, but Roblos and his men were as vigilant as they were during the day.

"… have we been able to make connective progress with regard to the transfer of the people of the North?

When I cut it out, Robros nodded, "Ugh."

"No deficiencies were seen in the stepping stones. After a month out of Genos, we can work on the ritual of transferring God in the southern king's capital. The only problem left is the departure of Chiffon-Cher."

"Really? Chiffon-Cher is..."

"Do you transfer God to live with your compatriots or stay in Genos as the people of the North? If you get a response by the day of your departure, there will be no inconvenience here."

To seal my pursuit, Robros said so with a strong voice.

And stick your blue-purple eyes towards Ai-Fa.

"Nevertheless, it's something you didn't see. I hear that a woman by the woods should not praise her appearance for groaning... otherwise she would have uttered a floating word without regard"

"... I'm here"

"That's what they looked like, so they infiltrated Count Turan's mansion. If this is the case, you can hardly be suspected of falsely being the son of a luxury merchant. The same would have been true of the princess of the aristocracy, on the contrary."

Robros was a solemn face, but is he still a little more comfortable? If the beauty of Ai-Fa had helped it, it would have been as joyful as it was.

And Forta, in other words, is slapping Devious in the ear with his neck open somehow. When Devious smiled and nodded, he felt relieved and also hit the back of the chair.

(Devious said he took Forta out to the tavern. Maybe that was something Robros didn't know much about)

Whatever, a little bit of heavy air also seems to have gained some subtlety.

All we had to do was hope that we could soothe our hearts with all our heart.

"Excuse me. We brought you a juicy dish."

And the ladies with the large basin approached each other.

A juicy dish poured into a beautiful ceramic dish is arranged on a round table. Two dishes were to be delivered to eight people, with the exception of Fermes.

"This will be a dish of Giva meat with miso and Mallory with tarapa"

"Well, for example, cooking with misty ingredients."

Roblos glances at me hard. Speaking of which, Miso's name was also mentioned in the daytime meeting.

"Uh, the mission people, they already know Miso, don't they?

"Hmm. Even when I visited Genos before, I was to be behaved like a dish made with miso at Castle Genos. But..."

"The chef, Dia, was still thinking about the use of the miso at the time. I don't think I was able to bring out the charm of the miso."

Malstein supplemented me that way.

Well, I guess Dia is not as obsessed with novel ingredients as Varcus. In everything, it seemed like Dia would proceed at her own pace without panic.

But then you'll get a great taste of Miso's charm on this occasion. This time I received a request for "plenty of Jagal ingredients," so I intended to take away the dishes that conveyed the excellence of the ingredients directly.

So the juice dish is' giva juice 'that mimics pork juice. In addition to Aria and Nennon, the ingredients are also made from Jagal ingredients Shima, Ma Guigo and Bunashi Mejmodoki. At the time of Dikon, Shima and Satoimo, Ma Guigo was originally an ingredient that went well with' Giva juice '.

"Hmm. I hear that miso is made from tau beans... but it seems to be a shade more similar to tau beans themselves than tau oil"

Robros gave a harsh look and gave 'Giva Juice' a spoon.

A silver spoon slowly plugs into his mouth, almost hidden by his beard.

And his eyes were to be opened as wide as they were during the day.

"This is indeed… the dish served at Castel Genos before seems to have a similar but unlike taste"

"Yes. At the time, Dia made sweet dishes with honey and fruit juice. This one has a more misogynistic taste."

With Malstein's words, Roblos has stuck his sharp gaze at me.

"Thus says Marquis Genos. Is there any difference in that word?

"Yes, I often finish sweet in boiled or baked dishes myself, but I also don't add sugar or anything else to this juicy dish. It's just a simple dish where you throw a miso into a stewed stock of ingredients."

"So... just the miso, is it going to make it taste like this?"

Roblos was so serious, I decided to make up for it as far as I could think.

"However, all ingredients are sautéed in Hoboi oil before simmering. If you just throw in the miso with the ingredients simmering, it will taste a little different again. I believe that the oil of Hoboi, familiar with the ingredients, supports the foundation of this dish."

"Exactly. Simple, so asta, skill, stands out."

Alvach spoke as if he could not see. If it was a "miso tailored pot of moth," you should have spoken of it several times in street food, but it didn't seem like you were dissatisfied.

"This Mallory juice dish also tastes great. Even in Jagal, Mallory, similar to Mallory, must be eaten extensively."

Fermes sitting next to Alvach raises his voice that way. It was the Forta that responded accordingly.

"Uhm. Mallorian cuisine would also be one of the classics in the King's Capital. However, this Mallorian cuisine… seems to be so prosperous that even in the southern capital of Kings we don't have a chance to speak of it"

"Really? I felt the same way when I lived in King's Capital in the west."

Fermes smiled gracefully and turned back towards me.

"This dish, Asta? Or is it Raina-Lou?

"This will be the dish completed in the Raina-Lou partition, won't it? In the stalls, we sell dishes with Giva meat."

"Uhm. And yet, giva meat, to not use, to calculate, to taste, to be reassembling?

Alvach's mouth began to flatter, so I said yes.

"What we serve in the street is a dish with an eye for how to reconcile Giva meat with Mallory. It just didn't seem to work out, except for Giva meat, which I hear changed the vanilla combination."

"Excellent. Raina-Lou, hands-on, brilliant"

Then Roblos, who was silently rubbing two kinds of juice dishes, twisted Alvach.

"... in Gerd's honor, you seem to be very familiar with the food around the woods."

"Mm-hmm. Marquis Genos, pleading, noon snacks, street food, picking it up"

"What? You mean you're purposefully picking up dishes sold on the street in Inn Town?

"Hmmm. I want to eat, I want to eat, I want to be alone"

When Roblos clasped his mouth with a difficult face, Fermes smiled flutteringly over there.

"Lord Alvach is a famous gastronomer. Due to the completely different cooking practices between Castle Town and Forest Side, you will come at night to taste the dishes of Castle Town, the dishes of the Forest Side by day and the different pleasures of each. … and it seems that this is why the forest cooks are called to the castle town."

"Mm-hmm. What's more, the dishes of Genos are often overcomplicated. Guests visiting Genos are also likely to prefer dishes by the woods."

Not to be bothered, Malstein also hammered.

"Because I was born and raised in Castle Genos, the flavoring of the Genos stream is familiar to my tongue. Therefore, I don't think it would be too simplistic to cook by the woods. This is also a beautiful and delicious dish, isn't it?

"... um. There is no doubt that it is delicious"

Robros turned to me as I answered with a low voice.

"You're really an excellent cook, Asta from Fa's house. When I watched the puppet play, I wondered why even the nobles of Genos praised their arms so much... if they were so powerful, no wonder"

"Thank you. It's a great honor for you to say that."

I was supposed to breathe relief.

Then the samurai bring in further dishes.

"Thank you for waiting. This will be Poitan cuisine."

It was two kinds of pizza made in the Raina-Lou partition. Using Guiba's intestinal meat and pra on one side and Mallor and Ma Pra on the other, the common ingredients will be Tarapa, Aria and Mushroom Modki. The cheese was made from caron's when it came to mozzarella cheese. I was tempted to avoid Sim's gamma cheese.

"Are you picking something for me that pairs with seafood dishes? I don't care, bring more and more Giva dishes."

Malstein nodded to Fermes' words as well, and the samurai bowed back with a respectful bow.

Even the pizza will not give rise to dissatisfaction. Also, when he explained that it was at the hands of the Lou family, Robros was to be "uhm".

"Even if they were no longer involved, the people of the woods would be able to cook all this food. Even Rimi-Lou, so young, let him create such a delicious dish that it would be natural to talk about it..."

"Yes, the Lew family in particular has a standing Kamadoku number. The other day, he kept the cook at the Count's dinner party."

"Well, at the Count's dinner party! You can enjoy the food by the woods while you're in Castle Town, as long as you envy it!

Having quickly loitered the two kinds of pizza, Devious said so with a laugh of fun.

"Me and the others have been very busy lately, and I haven't been able to make my way to Accommodation Town. Thank you very much for savoring the food from the woods today."

"... is Genos' knightly lord also coming to the stalls of the Inn Town?

To Roblos' inquiry, Devious breaks his face with a "yes".

"There are no priceless bitches for delicious dishes. That's what Lord Robros thought, so he left his supper cook with a cook by the woods?

"No. We only accepted the offer from the Marquis Genos"

"Oh, was that it? I heard the mission people have a strong interest in the people by the woods..."

"So Lord Genos has drawn our hearts."

"Was it," Devious put up a glass of Jagal's distilled liquor that was poured.

"Whatever it is, let me congratulate you on this encounter. If you are in the south, do not bond deeply with the people of the woods."

"... why do you think so?

"That, of course, is because the people of the woods are so emotional and upright that they can't beat the people of the south."

The moment Devious answered that way, Roblos faded away from his gaze.

To that appearance, Devious said, "Oh?" and raises her eyebrows all the time. But without trying to overlap words, he swallowed the contents of the liquor cup in silence.

(What, what's the reaction now?

Next to me, Ai-Fa is watching Roblos too. And across from me, Fermes was looking at Roblos' side with a smile on his face.

When the silence is about to drop in a bit unnatural, the lowercases approach as if to follow it. Delivered from there were "Hot Pot Meat", "Malor's Chili Sauce" and "Giva Stewed in Horns".

"Oh, it looks like you've finally got something to call the main course."

As if nothing had happened, that's what Malstein said.

I'll put a lid on my inner suspicion for now, too, and I'll take care of the cooking description.

"This" temporal pot meat "and" Malor's chili sauce "use Gerd ingredients, albeit slightly. It's going to be a seasoning called marooned chits in fish soy sauce."

Robros and Forta decided it was time to move their eyebrows tingly.

But you told me not to use Gerd's ingredients. Originally, Mallory was prepared for sautéed milk fat, and there were no plans to use fish soy or maroon chit-pickled in "Hot Pot Meat".

Robros eats those dishes with a solemn face.

After that, he twisted my face.

"... this dish called Cheeky Roe feels like it's dominated by tau oil, but is the flavor mixed in there what comes from Gerd's ingredients?

"Yes, that would probably be the chit-pickled flavor of fish soy and maroon. I also use sugar and hobo oil, but I'm sure you're familiar with those ingredients."

"… this Mallory dish also seems to be mixed with unfamiliar flavors"

"That's also, like, a chit-pickled fish soy and maroon. The subject will be a seasoning called ketchup from tarapa, but I think Gerd's ingredients give it more depth."

Roblos' reaction was clearly dull.

At the end of the day, Forta snorts "Hum".

"I feel that this dish of Giva meat stewed in tau oil is the most delicious. They use tau oil, sugar, and kelp root."

"Yes, 'Giva's Horned Stew' will also be a popular dish in the Inn Town..."

"I want to pay tribute to Asta at Fa's house who makes such delicious dishes with southern grace. Even in the Wang capital, such fine cuisine will be rare."

That was a thankful word, but it is as comforting as it has been said that it is superior not to use Gerd's ingredients.

When I think of it that way, Devious also says, "Not at all!" He shouted out loud.

"But I also find it difficult to throw away this dish called Ducko Ro. I wonder how the difference can be made by comparing it to a dish that doesn't use Gerd's ingredients. It's not that they're on top, it's that they both taste great."

Faster than Forta, Alvach reacted "um".

"Tau oil and fish soy, compatible, great. Incidentally, it would be harmony. Similar parts, unlike parts, both sides, harmony, resulting. It's like being a brother."

…………

"Therefore, we, the ingredients of Jagal, want. Will I be able to buy it, accept it, or gain it in the future?

"... I'd like to get some more time on that"

Robros responded that way with a tough face.

And he's poking his sharper eye at me again.

"In these dishes it is difficult to determine how Gerd's ingredients are. Guess they're also preparing dishes featuring Gerd's ingredients?

"Yes, there are only a few types of dishes left, so I think it's time for them to be brought..."

When I answered like that, people approached me from across the street without my last name. It is a combination of different colors: Dari-Sauti and Rimi-Lou.

"Excuse me. Would it have been too early to say hello to the people of the south?

"Chieftain Dali-Souti? No, I wanted to exchange words with them."

Roblos, who responded accordingly, has looked around at me, Ai-Fa and Devious.

"I'm going to wish Rimi-Lou a description of the upcoming dishes. Thank you very much."

It is a strong voice and tone that is very unacceptable, such as a spoken answer.

Ai-Fa looked back at Roblos' face only for a few seconds before rising fluttered like a lady.

"I understand. I'd appreciate it if we could just exchange words again."

"Uh, is Ai-Fa going?

Ai-Fa stroked the head of Rimi-Lou, who looked rusty, with a gentle trick.

"The dinner party would have just begun. Best wishes to our southern guests, Rimi-Lou."

Rimi-Lou immediately smiled and said, "Rika!," he shook up his right arm.

That's how we give up our seats to Limi-Luu and Dari-Sauti, and we return to the center of the busy hall. On that path, Devious tilted his neck, "Hum."

"Thank you. The mission people seem to be doing differently. Do you have any hard work?"

"... Again, do you?

When Ai-Fa inquired sharply, Devious responded casually "um".

"Lord Roblos was thoroughly tempered like a people of the South, but he should not have been too shy until then. Lord Forta's previous exaggeration has totally distracted him... and I wonder if he will be able to relax because of his presence in front of the guests of Gerd."

"I don't know. We only see those men present with the nobles of Gerd, so we have no choice but to judge them."

"Well," he nodded, then Devious lowered his mouth to the fudge.

"And it is by chance a joy to interchange words with Lord Ai-Fa in this way. I'm going to get my chest messed up again by that sharp eye."

"... then we'll excuse ourselves"

"No, no, isn't the dinner party coming up! I hope to burn the beauty of Lord Ai-Fa carefully in my eyes, as we will not be seeing each other again for a while!

Listening to Devious like that, we decided to look for the next person to have a dialogue with.
