938 A return feast, once again (1) ~ A new look ~

On the second day of the red moon, when the rainy season is finally on the rise - we were aiming for the castle town from the height of the day.

Today is a gift reception hosted by a nobleman from Gerd. There were still more than half a month left to return to Alvach, but before the rainy season came, the feast was to be held as originally planned.

Since the middle of the tea moon, we have been forced to attend a feast every street holiday. On the fourteenth day of the Tea Moon, a dinner party was held to welcome the Jagal mission, the northern settlement harvest festival, and this was the fourth consecutive feast.

But of course, we weren't mourning the situation. Each feast was an important opportunity to deepen ties with a variety of people. Everyone should have thought that it would be a great pleasure to have a great deal of trouble.

That's why it's a castle town.

Today, there were as many people as there were at the dinner party that welcomed the southern mission, aiming for the castle town.

Alvach and the others asked me how big the feast would be, so I said that there would be no problem if it was the same as the previous dinner party, so it matched this number.

This time, I have chosen a separate elite team at Fa's house and Lou's.

However, Fa's house was replacing some of its personnel. In the interests of fairness, I decided to speak to the women of the clan who had not participated before.

The four men of Thur-Din, Yun-Sudra, Marfila-Naham, and Ray-Matua remained, and instead of the Ladies of Fai-Baim and Ratz they called the Ladies of Gaz, Dagora, and Meem. On the next occasion, I wanted Ravitz, Vin, Auro, Sung, and the people of Fow and Run to experience the cooking in the castle town.

As before, the Lou family added Yamil-Ray to the women of Reina Lou, Sheila Lou, Lara-Lou, Limi Lou, Mim, and Rutim. It is indeed the first time that Yamil-Ray has worked as a family of Lou's blood instead of helping Fa's house. Reina Lou seemed to have given Yamil-Ray a role in anticipation of his ability to be quite cynical.

Regarding escorts, they were chosen from the northern settlements and Dana and Havilla.

Well, there's nothing strange about them, because they're a rest period - but out of a total of fifteen, Zaza's blood is only Tur-Din. Still, it seemed to me that Graph-Zaza's offer to prepare herself as a guard was proof that she did not regard our work as other personnel.

And there were six hunters sent from thee: Georg-Zaza, Dick-dom, Jean's eldest brother, Javilla's eldest brother, Dana's parents, and Rem-dom. All but Jean's eldest brothers were heroes or warriors, and all but Lem-Dom were the head of the family or their eldest brothers.

"They also have a role to tell their families about the castle town. Then it would be appropriate to gather people in positions first."

Geol-Zaza, who stood in front of the castle gate, said so.

Incidentally, he and his son, Dick Dom, the deputy chief, are the only guests of the feast. At night, Ziza-Lou and Dari-Sauti were supposed to come.

And of course, Ai Fa was accompanied without questioning, so the total number at the moment is 22.

Gardel, who appeared as the owner of the shuttle car, was completely overwhelmed by the harsh signs of the northern hunters.

"Well, well, here you go. will guide you to the Swan Palace."

There were three Totos cars available for ten people, so we could sit back and relax.

The hunters I travelled with were the brothers and sisters of the Eye-Fah-Dom family. When the car door was closed and the extra ears were gone, Lem-Dom quickly raised his cold voice.

"Good day to you, Ei Fa and Asta. My shameful brother has caused trouble."

It's not a nuisance.

"But aren't you going to show the rest of us how to make a wedding promise? I haven't seen it twice since I got to Asta."

Beyond Lem-Dom, who smiles so much, Dick-Dom is as immobile and expressionless as a statue.

Instead, Ai-Fa raised her eyebrows.

"Lem-Dom, I'm not impressed with how you celebrate your brother's wedding. You're the only family Dick Dom has?

"It's just one family, so it's been a lot easier than ever. Well, I told him that I wanted to be a hunter, so I kicked Dick's ass, so this might be a good time."

That's what Lem-Dom laughed at.

Perhaps there is a side to being too tense for both weddings. Lem-Dom smiled at the wedding promise.

"You chose the worst time to do that. Even if we make a wedding appointment, it's two months from now, two months from now! Until then, I wouldn't be allowed to lose a finger, and I'd be in trouble with my lust."

"Let's cut the crap," Ey-Fa pulled Lem-Dom's head.

Then salute Dick-dom, the immovable.

"I should have put my hands up for the rest of my family, but I couldn't bear it. I want to send an apology to Dom's head, Dick Dom."

"You don't have to apologize. I'm the one who should apologize for disrupting my family."

"Oh, my God. Hand in hand with the hard guys.... then I guess I'll get along with Asta."

"Hey, Lem-Dom, just calm down. You're a guard today, aren't you?

"Hmm. If they're from downtown, it's not a rewarding job. The one holding Toth's rope in this car is not as weak as a swordsman."

"That's Gardell, the soldier who executed the sinner, Sil 'el."

With a harsh voice, Ey-Fa said so.

"Sure, he's got a delicate temper like soldiers, but he's got the strength of a young hunter. I don't think you can beat me now."

"Ah! That annoying crowd? People don't come near what they see.... well, even that girl named Rolo had powers that I couldn't imagine from the looks of her."

All of a sudden, an unexpected name popped up, and Lem-Dom used to challenge Loro. It was only for one day, but that experience might have been a great food for Lem-Dom.

Then, while Lem-Dom was bustling the car, he arrived at the Swan Palace.

First of all, the bathhouse. I was awarded a great honor of purifying myself with some of the proud hunters of Zaza's bloodline.

Although he was worshipped naked at the Harvest Festival, it was a different dimension of the experience to purify himself so close together.

Anyway, it should be noted that Dick-dom. Its height is over 190 centimeters and it's a long, supple style like a hunter near the forest, but its body thickness and muscle mass are out of standard. To my knowledge, he was a giant hunter after Mida-Lou and Ji-Mamu.

"Hey, is this the bathhouse? I've heard rumors, but it feels strange."

and a gentle voice was thrown from the other side. He is the eldest brother of Javilla, a brave man of temperament.

"And I didn't think I could experience anything like this. Asta of Fa's house has been forced to do this for almost two years now, right?

"Yes, it's the second year of the next white moon."

"Oh, so it's still about a year and a half?"

"Yes, I was first guided to the bathhouse when I was taken by the castle town."

"Oh, that's nostalgic.... but at that time, I still didn't know how to accept the existence of Aster."

He was particularly calm among the hunters of Havela. Moreover, when I learned that I was one year old, I was able to change my language.

"Back then, it was time to find out if Fa's house was doing the right thing. I was wondering if Asta's bad relationship with the aristocrats would be excessive."

"Yes, I will try not to."

"Of course not. Otherwise, not all parents would approve of Fa's house."

Havela's eldest brother smiled.

"Besides, I couldn't hear about Fa's house from Geol-Zaza or Tour-Din. Don't worry, I don't suspect anything right now."

"Thank you very much. I'm relieved to hear that."

Then Geol-Zaza, who was talking to Jean's eldest brother, approached us.

"You guys seem to like each other a lot. But isn't cleansing enough? It's about time I got choked."

"Yes, let's get out of here."

So while I waited for the ladies to purify themselves, I was able to connect with Dana's parents and Jean's eldest brother.

Somehow, the Harvest Festival had fewer opportunities to speak individually. All I could do was stand up, and I felt very meaningful.

"I've been with you for a long time. Well, I didn't exchange words."

"Ah, I remember too. You mean the day you confronted the Cycleus in the castle town? Weren't you supposed to be the herd of the hunters outside the walls?

"Oh, how dare you remember even though you didn't say a word?"

"Yeah, I was meeting Jean's parents at the parents' meeting. I was impressed that this man was his eldest brother."

"I shouldn't have spoken to you with my father. Well, maybe I was yelling at the parents' meeting."

That said, Jean's eldest brother laughed joyfully.

He wears a gibberish fur and looks like a hunter in the north, but still a young hunter around the age of 20. Like Geol-Zaza, there seemed to have been a concealment of youthful subordination inside.

Dana's parents are all young parents in their mid-twenties. I don't feel as calm as Gazran-Lutim or Dari-Sauti, but I am proud and passionate about being the head of my clan. Not as active as Rats' parents, but rather active.

"Speaking of which, I wanted to ask you something. Asta of Fa's house, how did your parents compare their power at their harvest festival?

"Yes? How?

"Isn't he wearing the costume of a crowd like that? If you compare the strength of your combat moves with that, you'll touch your bare skin even if you don't like it.

Yes, and I had to tilt my head.

"That's right... I've never seen Ei Fa combine well because I'm lightweight. At best, I can grab my arms and shoulders... and I wonder if there's anything else I can do around my stomach."

"Well then, it's touching your bare skin!

"No, well, I guess it looks like it's going to be assembled or something. It was a moment of contact with the skin, and I think it was only possible for the parents of Sudra to do so."

"Ah, if you're Sudra's parent, you've worked together at Sung's hunting grounds. It certainly seems to be a hunter of unspeakable power."

That's how Dana's parents got closer to her face.

"But were Fa's parents, Ey-Fa, even in Lou's settlement, joining forces? There must be as many hunters there as there are in the northern settlements. Then you can't escape easily."

"Hmm, at your harvest festival, I also have a job, and I haven't seen the power comparison very carefully. However... as far as I can tell, it never seemed to be caught."

Really? That's a ridiculous story. "

Dana's crowd, who had retreated, began to grow angry with their arms tied together.

"Well, even compared to the power of bars, I was able to figure out how much power Ai-Fa had. In the name of training, I'd like to challenge you even to compare the strength of combat... but I don't have bare skin..."

"What are you doing? If you're not as agile as Sudra's parents, you won't be able to touch Ai Fa."

As Georg-Zaza laughed, Dana's parents disagreed.

"Even from the top of your outfit, if you touch your chest or hips, isn't it important? I'm more upset because I'm just as beautiful as that.... Graph-Zaza is right, should we refrain from comparing the power of combat with the women?"

"Then why don't you try it on Lem-Dom? He'll be happy to take it."

"Don't you think Lem-Dom has a strange fragrance? If I hadn't married my partner, I would have been moved.... otherwise, I'd like to compare my strength with him."

It is not a sin to compliment one's appearance unless in front of another, so Dana's parents spoke clearly at dawn. Dick-Dom didn't seem to be feeling too upset, and stood silently.

After a while, the women also danced back from the bathhouse.

Everyone is upsetting their cheeks and showing off the color of the bath. In the meantime, Ai-Fa was on the top of the Buddha for some reason.

"What's going on? I'm kind of in a bad mood."

When I sneaked up, Ey-Fa twisted Lem-Dom's right ear.

"I couldn't rest at all because he was making a funny joke. Dick Dom, I want you to acknowledge this as a legitimate punishment."

Hmm. Let's admit it.

"Ouch! Ouch! My ears are ripping off! I didn't just help you clean up a little!

"I don't need any help to clean myself up! I'm not a child!

"Because I loved the reaction of Eye-Fa... it hurts! All right, all right! I won't do it again!

With his tearful eyes on Lem-Dom, Ey-Fa finally finished his farewell.

The conductor's maid silences the noise of the guests with incredible restraint.

"Now, let me show you to the kitchen. This way, please."

Twenty-two people marched in rows along the stone corridor.

On the way, Lem-Dom is blurry.

"I really thought you'd lose your ear. Ai Fa is always tough on me."

"... you should take care of what you do to make me do a tough imitation?

"So-so. We have a long way to go, so let's get along."

Even if I take it like that, Eye-Fahs are pointing straight at you.

Then Lem-Dom, who was walking behind me, put his mouth to his ear.

"I'll tell Asta something good. Eye Fa's weaknesses are pain, pain, pain, pain, pain!

After all, Lem-Dom seemed to be floating around at Dick-Dom's wedding.

In that case, I would like you to refrain from making statements that stimulate my delusional powers.

That's why I finally arrived at the kitchen.

Only the eldest brothers of Ai-Fa, Geol-Zaza and Javilla will enter the escort. Also, it seems like we need to replace the staff every minute on the rotation.

The 15-member Kamado is solemnly commencing work. The three women who participated for the first time seemed to be absent from the look of the palace's cook, but that seemed to have inspired their fighting spirit and sense of purpose.

"Now let's split up into teams to get the work done. Yoon-sudra, nice to meet you."

"Yes, I'll take care of it."

It will be the women of Tour-Din, Dagora, and Meem who have been assigned to the same squad as me. All three of the first women to ask for help this time were less conspicuous, but none were inferior to the Fei-Baim or Ratz women.

"I think it was the beginning of last year's tea moon that Ray-Matua and I were able to help work on the stalls... but with the onset of the rainy season, I finally realized that a year had passed."

And it was the Ladies of Meem that said so, as they pursued their work with great care. She and Ray-Matua used last year's idle rainy season to start training.

After splitting up the goodwill with the Lou family, the first three people I asked for help with the stall were Tour-Din, Yamil-Ray, and Lily Sudra. Soon afterwards, Lily Sudra decided to ask Yun-Sudra for a substitute, so the members so far should be referred to as first-year students.

Later, with the opening of the Blue Sky Cafeteria, I asked the women of Gaz, Ratz, and Dagora for help. Immediately afterwards, Fay-Baim joined us, so this is the second grade.

Afterwards, Lili-Ravitz jumped into the moon of Kim, inviting the Ray-Matua and Meem women from the rainy season of the following month. Let me put this together as a third term student.

I've been doing business with the same face for about six months now. If the number of people increased too much, the working days of the rotating members would be shorter, so it wasn't easy to welcome new recruits.

The independent story of Tur-Din was brought up there, so the parents acknowledged that Fa's house was doing the right thing at the parents' meeting and reached the stage of welcoming Murphyra-Naham.

Since I don't remember adding new staff for about three months, Marfila-Naham is the only fourth grade student.

And he hired the Ladies of Ravitz, Naham, and Vin, and Auroh, to celebrate the second Easter. This is the fifth grade.

If possible, I would like to add Kur-Sung, but she has not experienced the Easter business, and there is a discrepancy for about two months, so it should still be classified as a sixth grade student.

Thus, the participation of Gaz, Dagora, and Meem women in today's work made it possible for members up to the fourth term, excluding Lili-Lavitz, to experience work in Nokinami Castle Town.

The newest recruit will be Marfila-Naham, but she is out of standard so there is no problem. And none of the other members felt any anxiety because they would all be in a career of more than a year.

(Besides, it's a big experience at Easter.)

During Easter, it's hard work. Doing those jobs will be directly linked to upgrading your skills.

And I hope that today's work in the castle town will be a great food for them.

"Reina Lou, is that better?

Calling in between jobs, Reina Lou answered "yes" with a neat face.

"Nothing's wrong. I was never ordered to change my donation or add more."

Apparently, Raina Lou still has the roots of Robros' behavior.

That would be a testament to her sincere commitment to cooking, but I'm comfortable with just one piece of advice.

"That was a lot of work. I had to retool the setup I had assembled the day before.... but that kind of unforeseen situation can be a good experience, right?

"Is that a good experience? In the woods, I don't think so either....."

"But if someone flips over a pot they're making, they'll have the same hardship? Fortunately, I haven't heard anything like that lately."

Reina Lou is staring at me from the bottom.

"I remember. During Lutim's feast and the first parents' meeting, right? I remember that Vina and her sisters and the Sung family ruined the cooking."

"Yeah, that's right. And the Lou family has begun to receive requests from nobles on their own, right? Something wrong may make you run out of ingredients, change your dedication at the word of a nobleman, or something like that will happen."

That's what made me laugh.

"That's what happened to me when I was working back home. Even if the ingredients that were supposed to be stored properly were damaged, or drunk customers ordered dishes that they couldn't provide - my father dealt with them in no hurry. I think I'd like to do some apprenticeships."

Reina Lou stared me in the face for a while before lowering her head deeply.

"... thank you. I am also comfortable to be reminded of my inferiority."

"No, I don't think so. It's just a personal idea."

"No, Asta's words were deeply embedded in my heart."

Raina Lou, who raised her face, had a kind of clear smile on her face.

"I am truly proud to work in the Lou family, and to be asked by the nobles to do so by name... but I still envy the women who can work under Asta at these times."

"It doesn't matter whether it's downstairs or sideways. For me, we're all important people."

"Thank you," said Reina Lou, with an attractive smile, returning to her work.

Reina Lou was one of the oldest members of the group, but she left me a year and a half ago to serve as a stall compartment. That would be less than a month, such as how long you've been working for me.

But those experiences must have nurtured her independence. Rayna-Lou seemed somewhat special when compared to talented people like Tour-din and Marfila-Naham.

(I'm sure that's the part where you want to aim for heights as a cook, not just as a kamado around the woods)

Chewing on that sentiment, I decided to resume my work.
