974 Dinner party (5) ~ Exchange ~

Alvach's long tongue ended about half an hour later.

Not only were there a lot of dishes, but I often asked Vulcan and Platica for supplements and objections, so it took so much time.

Of course, we didn't just stand still in the meantime. He was listening to Alvach's words interestingly while eating the food that was carried by his surname. Among other things, Malstein and Eurifia enjoyed Alvach's impressions like entertainment by eating the food under review at the same time.

"I see. Is it taking so much effort to cook this dish? It's true that cooking is the result of trial and error."

"Yes, when I hear Lord Alvach's words, I feel even more delicious."

It would be a shame to be able to enjoy Alvach's long tongue in such a way. Vera's parents seemed totally stunned and were eating silently.

After all, we were able to hear Alvach with great comfort. Alvach's words were more or less accurate, and he was able to reconfirm various thoughts, even as they sharply swallowed us up to what we were doing unconsciously.

After all, it was interesting to hear Vulcan's criticism of cooking.

Alvach is able to literally translate the sensory parts that we cannot speak well.

"The stewed chest meat of Kalon, which is dominated by Drew, has all the flavors like a spider's nest, with the flavor of the earth at its core. The sweetness and acidity of the fruit, the pain and suffering caused by the vanilla, the flavor, saltiness and aroma caused by miso, tau oil and fish soy are each assembled around the presence of Drew. Doru's flavor is completely obscured by the various flavors that can be added to it... but there is no doubt that Doru is at the center of it. Also, such a complex flavor is supported by a powerful stock. And it's hard to say how many ingredients are used... but it's Karon's feet and Kimus's bone marrow that will dominate. It is also clear that fruits such as lamb and mince are simmered simultaneously from that stage. Instead of adding squeezed fruit juice, sweet fruit is used at the stage of brewing, so delicate sweetness will spread to every corner of the ingredient. It's linked to Drew's flavor."

And just a partial excerpt, that's how it feels.

To be honest, it seemed too difficult for us to refer to, but it was still a very pleasant and meaningful moment for me with a glimpse of one of Vulcan's mysterious manoeuvres.

Reina Lou and others were listening to Alvach's words from Fermez's mouth, in the face of urgency that they would not hear a word. Rather than her cuisine, Vulcan's cuisine seemed more exciting to Reina Lou.

Finally, he finished his assessment of Tour-din's confectionery and finally finished Alvach Time.

It was Fermez, who undoubtedly had the job of interpreter, who was the most tired.

"Lord Fermez, I'm afraid I've put you on an extra job, as long as I can."

When Nanaquém apologized so much, Fermez smiled "no" after moisturizing her throat with a few teas.

"I am also honored to be able to deepen the bond between Gerd and Genos. His Majesty will be delighted to announce that a new bond has emerged between Gerd and the Kingdom of the West."

"Mm-hmm. I'm glad we understand each other."

"So, all that remains is the dishes and confectionery that Rimi-Lou served as the compartment. Shall we move to that rug?

"No, Master Fermez, the meal is not progressing. You should take a break for a while."

Nanaqem spotted Alvach, just as he said that there was no anomaly.

Alvach nodded, "Hmm."

"I feel all kinds of thoughts and feelings, and my body is lighter and more comfortable. Thank you very much, Lord Fermez."

"Not at all. Feel free to call me anytime."

"Well then," Martin raised his hips.

"Let's move our seats, too. The others will be waiting to say hello to Geld."

So everyone except Geld's two names finally got their hips up. It was a grand man, a diplomat, who had been kept away from another rug.

After I greeted the Diplomat, Alvach turned to me.

"Aster, I'd like to say hello again later."

"I understand. I'll see you later."

I answered with a smile and then tried to leave the rug with Ai-Fa.

Then, Thur-Din rushes in.

"Um, can I stay with Odifia for the rest of my life?

"Yes, of course. This is the end of our work. Whatever you do, you're free."

"Thank you," said Tour-din, smiling happily.

It's a smile that makes you want to stroke your head without thinking.

"I'm glad Odifia's feeling better, too. I'm happy eating Tour-din's confectionery, so I felt warm watching it."

Then Toor-Din suddenly looked at me with a thought for some reason.

"Um... did Odifia look happy in Asta's eyes?

"Huh? Yeah, sure. Odifia is as faceless as your father, but she's always full of emotions."

I see Odifia shaking his tail all the time, pinning his cat-like ears, and putting notes and sweat symbols on his head. Even if it was an expressionless odifia that could not defeat the people of the east, it felt as if emotions were revealed that could not defeat the people of the south.

"I'm sure Odifia is extraordinary and emotionally rich. Even dull people like me can read emotions."

"No... thank you, Aster."

And for some reason, Tour-din said thank you and lowered his head to me.

The smile that still comes to my face is as happy as ever.

"Now, let's get back to Odifia. Let me know if anything happens."

Yeah, give my regards to Odifia.

So Tur-Din slipped between the people who had begun to move their seats and left.

I look back at Ai Fa as I tilt my head to see what was going on. Immediately behind them stood a crowd longer than Ai-Fa.

"... Murphyra-Naham. I'm not comfortable standing right behind you like that."

"No, no, I'm sorry. Oh, I was wondering if I could speak up....."

"You don't have to worry about anything like that. Are you still feeling uncomfortable?

"Yes, yes, no. Say, I was saved earlier thanks to Ai-Fa. And I wanted to thank you for that."

Murphyra-Naham, who had moved sideways to Ai-Fa, began to bow his head.

"Sa, Sa, thank you so much for that. Not only the chief, Dali-Sauti, but also the lord, Marquis Martin, his family and the king's capital, Fermez, disturbed me."

"Well, maybe it's because you're so courteous that you're so nervous... you don't have to worry about anything like that. You're in good hands, so be brave."

"Yes, yes, no. Well, if you don't like my cooking, I wonder if Asta, Naham's house, and even the people around the woods would be in a bad position... but when I think like that, I can't stay in my ordinary mind anymore."

"... that might prove you're an honest and responsible person."

Ai-Fa looked back at Murphyra-Naham with a soft look, smiling bitterly.

"Anyway, everyone recognized your food as delicious. Of course I'm one of them. You've done a great job, so be proud of it."

"Yes, yes, no. Wow, I'm just finally able to make a decent type of dish...."

Murphyra-Naham smiled with a faint face while saying a weak thing in his mouth.

"So, so, but I'm very proud of you to say that to Ey-Fa. Ah, and then I felt like going up to heaven when I let Ey-Fa relax my shoulders."

"That's funny, you.... don't I have to go back to Yun-Sudra?

"Ah, ah, it seems that you are deepening your ties with strangers... Wow, won't you let me interrupt you?

Looking around, Yun-Sudra and the others did move their seats and spoke in unfamiliar faces and rugs. I remember seeing my face at previous banquets and dinners, but I don't even know my name or personality.

"So, are you coming with us for a while? I thought I'd say hello to the Earls, but what do you say?

"Yes, is this the Earl's? Ah, I'm going to be nervous again... but if you can join Asta and Ai-Fa, I really appreciate it."

So we first picked up our favorite dish with a wagon by the wall, and then we decided to aim for the rug of the Earl of Turan.

Someone just left their seat, and only Refraea and Torsto were lined up on the rug, clearing up the dishes that the underlings had left empty.

As we approached, Refraea opened her eyes slightly.

"Asta, I'm not Ey-Fa. Did you come all the way out here to say hello?

"Yes, if you don't mind, can I have a seat?

"Of course. It's been a long time since the Gelds caught us."

Refraea flutters softly as she brushes her face. This is a more difficult behavior to read in your heart than Odifia.

"What's wrong? Something doesn't seem right... but this is Marfila-Naham from Naham's house."

"Marfila-Naham? Oh, you prepared that wonderful dish. I just got your name from Geol-Zaza."

Apparently, the predecessors were Geol-Zaza and Dick-dom. Before that, I should have been present at the front of the Lou family, so they had already changed their seats frequently.

"So, what's up? Anything bothering you?

"No, nothing. I'm so happy to talk to Astas."

After saying that, Refraea put one hand on her cheek and breathed.

"But, yes... I wonder if my body has moved with so much pleasure. As a lady, it must be a shame."

"Not much pleasure? About what?

"That's why I can talk to you."

And Refraea curled her mouth like a shank.

"There is no one else here who has deepened his bond with Chiffon-Cher. I'm glad to talk about Chiffon-Cher. You got a problem with that?

"No, there is no disillusionment.... which part of Jagal is Chiffon-Cher now?"

"I don't know. I am not familiar with Jagal geography in the first place.... there shouldn't be such a dangerous area on the road from Genos to the King's Capital in the south... I wonder if Chiffon-Cher and Sanjula are safe."

and an eloquent sigh of reflexion.

This kind of mood is hard to get out in front of people other than Torsto and Musulu. Murphyra-Naham was blinking and Torsto was smiling to calm down his young master.

"At the end of the rainy season, let's make sure Sanjura and the others are well. Thank you for your patience, Princess Refleia. Don't worry, no bandits or beasts will get close if you're protected by that many soldiers."

"I hope so... but if I keep talking to my brother Eleo-Chel on the way, I'm not going to be able to leave..."

Refraea looked a lot weaker, but Torsto still smiles. Perhaps the recent Refraea has been exposed to this for a long time in front of her family.

"When Chiffon-Cher and the others return, please come and visit the forest. I wanted to show Chiffon-Cher what the forest is like."

"Thank you... I'm really glad you said that."

And Refraea smiled weakly.

I wonder if showing us such a delicate part is a testament to our deepening friendship. I'm also going to be able to recheck the length of time I've spent here.

"Speaking of which, there are many new settlers in Turan. Are there any problems?

After a while, Ey-Fa rarely cut himself out of the conversation.

Torsto said, "Yes," while savouring the "cream stew of the stripe" brought by his surname.

"Of course, everything is not going well, but first things first seem to be going well. By the end of the rainy season, let's settle down the lives of the new residents."

"... I heard there will be more outlaws in the rainy season, but isn't it dangerous on your side? Has Turan ever forgiven outlaws before?

"Ah, there must have been a problem with the discipline of the escort militia, not with the security in Turan. Such disturbances have subsided since Merfried's solemn declaration of discipline was fulfilled.... and the more eyes your people have, the harder it will be for outlaws to lurk. They should be as secure as Durham."

"So, the most dangerous thing is the workplace town?"

Apparently Ai Fa was worried about what he heard at the inn.

I laugh at Ai Fa like that and say, "It's okay."

"Were you saying that theft is only rampant at night? There was no strange noise last year during the rainy season, and there's nothing to worry about."

"If you had the power to protect yourself, you wouldn't have to worry about me."

After saying that, Eye-Fa got a little tight.

"... no, I was wrong to want something like that from you. This is an inaccuracy, let me revoke it."

"No, it doesn't have to be that serious... I'm worried about E-Fa."

While saying that, I feel the awareness and love of Ai-Fa, and I feel happy.

Then Refraea smiled at Ai-Fa with a much calmer look.

"It's natural to worry about people who are out of your reach. I feel like a fag, too.... but the courage of the people around the woods is widely known by the puppet play, so even outlaws can't get rid of it."

"Hmm... if that's the case..."

"I wonder when those puppeteers will be coming to Genos next. Not only the stories of the people around the forest, but I want you to show me a variety of plays."

Either because Ei Fa and Refleia were taking the initiative to spill the mood, or there seemed to be some soft and puzzled air on the spot.

Nobody would believe that these two names used to change their eyes like a blade with a large table. Both Torsto and Murphyra-Naham ate each meal with a very calm expression.

"Well, it's time for us to greet Gerd, too. What will happen to Astor and the others?

"We've talked a lot already, so I think I'll give you a little more time.... Refleia, let me talk to you later."

"Yeah, sure.

Again, the absence of Chiffon-Cher and Sanjula made Refraea appear to be in sweet mode.

Say goodbye to those reflexes and raise food with the wagon by the wall. After listening to Alvach's criticism, he couldn't prioritize his meal, so everyone was six minutes hungry.

"Now let's have some Marfila-Naham dishes. This is really delicious."

"Ki, ki, I'm sorry. Now, I'm going to cook with an asta partition....."

"That's why you should eat a lot of Vulcan food. This is a rare opportunity."

"Ah, no, I..."

And Murphyra-Naham rushed around.

"Ah, ah, um, I'd like to sneak up on you, okay?

"Yeah. Anything, please."

"Wow, I think Vulcan's arms are incredible and, as Asta and Reina Lou have said, they may be strongly influenced... but still, I don't really think I want to fill my stomach with Vulcan cooking..."

In a whispering voice, Marfila-Naham said so.

"Ki, I was very excited about today's food. And I was able to taste more than I expected.... that's why I'm completely satisfied."

"I see... it may seem natural for people around the forest not to want to fill their stomachs with gibbon meat because they didn't use it in today's cooking... but that's not all."

"Ha, ha, yes. But even if gibberish meat was used, I don't think this feeling would change."

That said, Marfila-Naham was able to swim his eyes violently.

"Well, well, is this still a crude and unacceptable idea? I'm really impressed by Vulcan's skill....."

"No, I don't think so. Maybe I have the same roots.... that's why I'm trying to eat Marfila-Naham dishes."

Think about it. That's how I answered it.

"Besides, maybe... it's the same with Vulcus. Both of us, Vulcans, want to make the best dishes for ourselves, so we're practicing. Sometimes it's exciting, but I really like the taste of the food I cook."

"Ha, ha... but you're not eating my food, are you, Asta?

"Because this dish has both elements that I think are natural and fresh elements that I'm not familiar with. In a way, it's the most interesting dish."

"Ki, Ki, Ki, I'm sorry."

So the underlings rushed to sort out the dishes, so we decided to close the conversation.

Next, I will walk through the venue to greet the Count Durham family. There were also three people present: Ziza Lou, Ludo Lou and Limi Lou. Lara-Roussila-Lou and Mime seem to have left somewhere.

"Excuse me. May I have our own seat?

"Hi, Astor and I, Lord Fa. Come on, let's sit down."

To the left and right of Porcus smiled was his companion Merrim, his brother Addis, and his companion Carlia. It seems that your father and his companion are separate rugs.

And there was a girl hiding secretly between Porcus and Merrim. Nicolas is supposed to be encouraging the maid in her work.

"Oh, finally, it's just my family and the people around the woods, so I'm giving Nicolas a taste of Lord Vulcus's food."

As Nicolas stood up, she began to prepare tea. It would be an aberration to let the maid taste the food in such a setting, but Adis and Carlia, who seem to be disciplined, pretend not to see it.

"I was just about to say hello to the Gelds. Hey, it was such a big fuss."

"A lot of noise?

"Ah, no, the expression" noise "was inappropriate. When we went out to greet her, she was just telling Miss Limi Lou what she thought about cooking."

It seemed like it was the end of the day that Jiza-Lou and the others joined together and settled down together.

Moving next to Ai-Fa with a smile of joy, Limi Lou shouted, "But."

"Both Kurimushu and Kurimushu are dishes taught by Asta. Even if you tell Limi how you feel, you might get in a bit of trouble.

"But it was Limi Lou who finally finished the flavor and served as today's partitioner, wasn't it?

"Hmm, but like that dish in Marfila-Naham, Limi didn't come up with it. If you're gonna praise me, I think you should praise Asta!

After declaring so forcefully, Limi Lou laughed.

"But what Alvach thinks is interesting. In the sea of karon's milk and stripes? When the various ingredients are in the fish crowd, let me see the waves. Gibba meat soup turns into a tide? They said something like that!

"Alvach is a poet," Pollux laughed joyfully.

Your stricter brother, Addis, is staring at Marfila-Naham with his glowing eyes.

"Asta-sama's brought in, your food... is that your daughter's cooking?

"Ah, yes. She is the third sister of the Naham family and my name is Marfila-Naham."

When I introduced him, Marfila-Naham greeted him with a bow.

"Hmm... your daughter looks a lot younger..."

"Ha, ha, yes. I'm sixteen years old....."

"Sixteen! Can you cook that much at such a young age?"

When Addis silenced with a difficult face, Jiza-Lou even shouted "Hmm."

"I've been surprised for a long time. The same surprise was felt at the Ravitz Harvest Festival... but I think it's really time for a rare force."

"And, and, and, and, and, no! Wow, wow, I'm not such a big deal...."

"Calm down," Ai-Fa stretched her arms around Limi Lou's head and loosened Marfila-Naham's left shoulder. As soon as Marfila-Naham relaxes, he says, "Hey."

"Because he takes courtesy seriously, it seems that being praised by the person in front of him disturbs his mind.... but who do you think this benevolent is anyway?

"Hya, hya! Da, you're Adis, the first son of Count Durham's family, right? And don't be rude, don't forget the names of the nobles as much as possible!

"So don't disturb your mind.... Limi Lou, can you help me?

Yes, Momomi!

Rimi-Lou, who circled behind Marfila-Naham, began to grab his opposite shoulder with a small hand.

Melim, Pollus's companion, giggles as he gazes at Marfila-Naham, who closes his eyes in a carefree manner.

"There are a lot of people around the forest.... Murphyra-Naham's cooking was amazing, but I was taken aback by Rimi-Lou and Tour-Din's confectionery. Hey, Carlia?

Carlia lowered her eyebrows a lot after she answered "Yes."

"It was so delicious that I ate both sweets... why am I so vulnerable to sweets..."

Speaking of which, she was concerned that she had gained weight at Count Durham's dinner party because of the birth. Although it is certainly a full-bodied category, it doesn't feel like it's getting indigestive, so I wanted you to enjoy sweets and cooking a lot.

"Odifia has been well, and I would like to have another tea party with Eurifia. Carlia will definitely come with you."

"Yes... but sweets..."

"Should we nourish ourselves during the rainy season? Eat a lot and exercise a lot. If it's a dance lesson, I'll always be there for you."

"Yeah! I'm going to try a lot of new treats again when I can buy a stripe! Limi is looking forward to it!

Thanks to Merrim, Rimi-Lou and Porcus, the air had already been formed on the spot for a long time. As long as it smiles, including Eye-Fahs who encourage massage.

"Not just the sweets, but the food was excellent. Lord Alvach said he wouldn't be looking forward to next year's rainy season.... the people around the woods played a big role this time."

And Porcus looked us around with his crunchy eyes.

"I've been in a hurry since last month, but this is the end of the deal with Gerd. Relax for a while, and feed your soul."

"Yes, when the rainy season comes, we'll have a deal with the King's Capital of Jagal."

"Yeah, yeah. I'm looking forward to seeing what kind of ingredients you get."

Porcus, who spoke like that, had a very satisfying face.

As an aide to the Diplomat, he must have been really busy. The sense of accomplishment that he had done so much work was replete with Pollus's smile.

We had a month and a half in a hurry, not as much as Pollus. He went to the castle town four or five times while skipping two harvest festivals, and was offered a job.

Of course, they were fun and fulfilling days.

It seemed like an interesting experience for me to throw myself at the closing dinner party and let the people of the castle town struggle with you.
