1003 Chef Exchange (1) ~ Visit ~

Six days after the tea ceremony in Castle Town - the fourteenth day of the Zhu moon.

The rainy season was finally coming to an end, and it was a joint study group that invited Roy and Cyril Rowe to Fa's house.

This day was chosen because the street holidays coincided with Roy's holidays.

Roy and his family visited Fa's house in the morning, had a long day of study, had dinner and bed together, and then returned the next morning.Both names had already visited the forest many times, but since they were both feast sights, it was the first attempt to finally look at the cooking skills and sharpen them.Even with me, it was where my heart bounced.

Even on street holidays, I usually work on curry vegetables and making dried pasta at any time.However, for the time being, there was no anxiety about such stockpiles, so today's free time was allocated to the Nokinami Joint Study Group.

As far as I'm concerned, we've never actively learned how to cook a castle town.However, although Michael has given me plenty of guidance, the trick is by no means the royal road of the castle town.Michael's method of making use of the original beauty of the ingredients is more or less similar to the cooking method I have learned, and although so, it was thought that the woodside chestnuts could have accepted it without resistance.

In the first place, what is popular in the castle town of Genos is a complex flavor that combines a variety of ingredients.Initially, both I and Kamado-chan around the forest felt that such food was truncated as unnecessary for them.

But we were able to meet a very skilled Vulcan cook.

So, while I was impressed with the culinary success made by Vulcus and his disciples, I became immune to the increasingly complex flavors, and I began to respect other chefs in the castle town - Yang and Timaro - with a very natural flow of mind.

It should have been the last day of last year's white moon when we first left the kitchen in the castle town, and then about a year and seven months later.

After all these years, we were finally able to learn and ponder with the young cooks of the castle town.

Everyone who participated in the study group should have waited for today with the same feeling of playing as I did.

◇

So I waited for you that morning...

On that day, I woke up in the melting warmth and fragrance of my soul.

When you open your eyelids, your vision is covered in golden brown radiance.It was so dark in the rainy season morning that I was reminded every morning how I could see Ai Fa so bright.

Besides, I'm hugged tightly by Ei Fa's arms.Ai Fa is a chest figure, and I was a T-shirt, so the warmth is very direct.Outside the blanket, the cold air of the rainy season was supposed to be waiting for me, but the fact that I couldn't believe it made me feel terrible.

More than ten days have passed since Dari-Sauti and the others resigned from Fa's house.

But we've been sleeping in this style ever since.

Of course, it does not extend to any backward behavior, but it is not consistent with forest habits for unmarried men and women to fall asleep in such close proximity.So Ai Fa was talking about this behavior on the first day in a terrible way - I couldn't have predicted that the period would be more than ten days.

(Of course, I'm happy, happy and unbearable too... but if I were normal, my reason would have already collapsed.)

It's not made of wooden stone, like me.He is a healthy young boy who is about to turn nineteen.Because I've been hugged all night by Ai Fa, which I truly admire, this must be an incredible life-and-death situation.

But mysteriously, I didn't feel like I was more happy than this.

Of course, the extraordinary impulse is well lurking inside me.You can't feel nothing while sleeping with an attractive girl like Ey-Fa.

But I wasn't conscious of suppressing it with reason.

When I feel the fragrance and warmth of Ai-Fa and lean hard against each other, it feels like reason and impulse are mixed in and dissolved in blood.

It's never the feeling that romantic feelings have transformed into family love.Instead, both coexisted in a natural way in me.I remembered love equal to a blood-separated family at the same time as I was captured by Ai-Fa as a girl.This feeling is firmly rooted in me in a way that remains unchanged.

I just want to share everything with Ey-Fa.

In me, there's a tremendous impulse stemming from love feelings.I wanted to share that impulse with Ey-Fa.I didn't seem very happy about my impulse hitting Ai-Fa unilaterally.

I must be patient and waiting for that moment.

One day I want to live as a crowd, not a hunter.

If that day doesn't come forever, I will continue to melt this impulse in myself forever.That was my choice.In other words, my mind was entirely enchanted by Ai-Fa, so I had no choice or choice.

And I didn't suffer that fate.

This is because the happiness with Ai-Fa outweighs it.

Therefore, I was able to get up that morning with a flickering sense of happiness.

"Ey-fa, it's morning.... maybe. "

The bed dragged from the book is dimly lit.But it would have been darker if the night hadn't come.I whispered to Ei Fa's sleeping face on my shoulder, thinking like that with my head still a little open.

Eye-Fa shakes herself "yeah" and then slowly raises her eyelids.Eye Fa stared at me with defenseless eyes like a baby.

"Already in the morning... it looks like I'm slow to wake up when I'm with you."

"Yeah, I'm sure I've been up ahead lately."

"... I used to scold you for waking up late in the rainy season."

With a sweet voice, Ai-Fa rises up.That smooth cheek was rubbed against my cheek.

"... today is finally the day to invite the guests of the castle town"

"Yeah, it's been a couple of days since we've had another bed."

When I said funny, Ey-Fa answered "It doesn't matter" with a laugh.

"I will welcome the guests with all my might.For that reason, I laid aside the habits around the forest and forced you to be disabled. "

"Besides, I'm not incapacitated.If you don't get scolded by my mother's forest, it won't be a problem. "

"I'm the one who made the habits around the forest for my own convenience, so you won't be surprised.If my mother's woods are angry, I will bear that anger alone. "

"No, I told you I wanted to share everything.You can't escape the crime of spoiling a sweetheart's head. "

Ey-Fa is a little angry, pushing his forehead around my temples.

Then, Ey-Fa's hand, which was wrapped around my chest, came around behind my neck.

Following that gentle force, I will turn back to Ai-Fa.

We put our heads on a rug instead of pillows and stared at each other from the front.

"... I think you've grown up a lot, Aster."

I wonder. Well, I'm almost 19 years old. "

"Hmm. The softness and gentleness of the moment we met continues to grow.I'm sure many trials have grown you. "

It was Ai-Fa who talked like that that that added radiant elegance to the dazzling feeling when we met.

The golden brown hair was loosened, and the figure lying sluggishly was interwoven with a wonderful femininity and a fragrance appropriate for my age of 19, so I didn't stop charming.

Eye-Fa gently pressed her palm against my cheek and came closer to the wipe.

Of course, you can't kiss each other and your forehead is pressed against your forehead.

This is something that hasn't been seen much here lately.

But I didn't think it was strange.I was so happy that I thought that Ei Fa might be chewing on the same feeling.

And then...

Perhaps Ai Fa, like me, is dissolving his impulse in blood - I was caught up in such thoughts in the corner of his head.

◇

Then we got to work in the morning as if nothing had happened.

Is this a benefit of the cold rainy season?By the time we were wearing our long-sleeved outfits with our blankets peeling off, we were able to tighten our minds tightly while feeling happiness that would melt our body and mind.

Once the laundry has been cleaned, the coat is wrapped and firewood and vanilla are collected.Bathing during the rainy season is bad for your health, so after you've finished those tasks, you'll clean up in the house.It was customary to first brush your head with water from a water bottle and then wipe your neck down with a damp hand wipe.

Washing your head will cause water to come out, so it will be done between the earth.Then I put on my body in the bedroom and the storage room - but the bad thing was that I was going to welcome guests on that day.

"Yes, yes, excuse me! Ah, I'm Tur-Din, Yun-Sudra and Marfila-Naham to attend today's study party!"

From the other side of the front door panel, you hear a voice like that.

Just naked, I decided to stick my face out of the door panel in the storage room.

Then, at the same time, Ai Fa had his face out of the adjacent bedroom.

"That voice is Marfila-Naham, right?Now I'm purifying myself.My parents will forgive me, so I want you to wait between them. "

Ai Fa often said that in a passing voice, "Hey, hey, I understand!The voice came back to the door panel.

Ai-Fa nodded silently and turned around again.Her glossy left shoulder peeks at the applause.

"It was supposed to be the third moment of the ascent that Kamado's turn came together.Are we running late? "

"No, I don't think so.The clock is useless during the rainy season, so everyone is trying to act early. "

"I see... so why are you swimming your eyes like that?"

"Ah, yeah. I wonder if that's upsetting how I look."

I chewed happiness with such a lofty feeling in the morning, but I am very vulnerable to these surprises.

However, Ai Fa looked completely incomprehensible and frowned.

"I don't know what that means. In this position, you will only see my face and shoulders."

"Well, you know, people have imagination."

"I see, I see.... I'll put my head out because I'm going to give it to you."

"Wow! So don't step out!"

I decided to evacuate to the room and get dressed quickly.

It goes without saying that I was taught by Ey-Fa after I left the room.They are the families of the façade who are living in a complex life.

When I rubbed my head against the cabin, there were three people who had just given me a name, and they were stubbornly lined up.Wet coats hang on walls, all dressed like ponchos during the rainy season.

"I'm sorry about earlier.I was counting my time with a hourglass, but there seems to be a slight deviation.... "

"That's the same thing here.There was nothing wrong with it, so I can't apologize. "

Ey-Fa, who was following me outside the door panel, was poking me in the back at an invisible angle from three people.

"Well, I'm paying next door.I don't know what to do, but if anything happens, just let me know. "

"I understand. Thank you for your help today."

Led by Yun-Sudra, three people lowered their heads deeply.They were also scheduled to stay at Fa's house until dinner to taste the results of the study group.

Ey-Fa starts payroll in the dismantling room, and we exchange opinions for the study group.Then, five minutes ago, there were signs of a new truck approaching.

"Thank you for your patience today."

It was Reina Lou and Limi Lou who came.There are many members around the forest who will participate in today's study meeting.Ray-Matua and others were troubled until the end, but at this stage the headcount was quite high and Matua is currently in the break period.Since she was in full attendance at the stall business and study group, she felt like she lacked time to spend with her family and blood family, so she made an honest decision not to participate today.

"So, so, but was it really okay for us to participate?But there must be a lot more people who deserve this place.... "

Murphyra-Naham said that, so I laughed.

"Roy and Cyril Rowe wanted to visit the woods because the dishes of Marfila-Naham were the deciding factor.We can't just call Marfila-Naham there. "

"But if Michael and Mime were here, Roy and the others would be delighted...."

Moreover, it was Reina Lou, a fighting-minded man, who responded "No."

"While it is true that Michael and his family will soon become the bloodline of Lou, they were originally cooked by the castle town.Today's Roy wants to learn how to do things around the woods, so I don't think there's any reason to prioritize Michaels. "

"Is that so...?"

"Yes, it was told by Limi and Roy at the tea party the other day.Also, if you want to have a study group with Michael, he wants you to visit the Lou house again, so don't worry. "

"I understand..." Murphyra-Naham lowered his head and smiled.

"Hey, hey, honestly, I was looking forward to this day, too.Thank you very much for joining us on these days. "

"Yes, I feel the same way."

Reina Lou is fully satisfied with the natural form of Marfila-Naham.The blue eyes glistened brightly, and the shaped eyebrows were hanging.Had it not been for Raina Lou, who had originally appeared smaller and younger than her age, such power would have doubled.

Then, about five minutes later, the doorplate was slammed when it was time to make a promise.

But there are no signs of the truck.When I twisted my neck and opened the door panel, it was Chief Dari-Sauti who stood there.

"I'm sorry. It's so small that it won't get in the way. Could you let me see it for a few moments?"

The blood of Saudi, led by Dari-Sauti, had begun a ritual of exchange between the blood of Fow and his family about three days earlier.

Of course, we can't push back the chief, and if it's Dari-Sauti, we'd be more than welcome.When Ai Fa allowed him to enter, Dari-Sauti repeatedly said "I'm sorry" and smiled attractively.

"How about a settlement in Fow, chief Dali-Sauti?I hope you're not too busy. "

Yun-Sudra asked while showing admiration for the usual lucidity.

"It can't be too much.I know exactly how good Bird-Four is.... just the two of them. "

"The two of them are the people of Vera and Fow who are worried about each other.Did something go wrong? "

"No. Let them face to face, and they'll be ashamed of themselves and won't barely talk to each other.Until now, they've been making noise in their homes wanting to see each other early. "

I wonder if Vera's next sister, who concealed her naughty nature in the clear, was so embarrassed.

Yun-Sudra, who seemed to have the same feelings as me, could say "well".

"I think that sounds funny... but as for Vera and Fow, you can't even laugh all the time."

"Mm-hmm. But, well, there's nothing we can do about it.It's all about seeing if you can wed Vera and Fow. "

"Yes, I want you to watch over me as a family member of Fow.... and Lyle Fam, Sudra's parent, was very disappointed that she couldn't join us. "

"Sudra had a small family, and this time Fow and Run were enough.... but I'm also interested in Sudra's house.I hope you'll take care of Sudra for a short period of time. "

When Dari-Sauti answered that, there were signs that the truck was finally approaching.

"Coming," Dari-Sauti peeks out the window lattice.Window books were also opened as long as there was no risk of rain blowing in due to ventilation.

I open the door and wait to welcome my guests.

Then Eye Fa appeared from the dismantling room.You're wearing a raincoat and standing in the light rain.

Eventually, the guests arrived.

They were Platica, who had come to pick me up, Roy and Cyril Rowe, who had come from the castle town, and Nicolas.

"Thank you for waiting. I'm a guest in Castle Town."

"Hmm. Thank you, Platica."

In a solemn gesture, Cyril Rowe stepped forward in front of Ai-Fa.

"The other day, I greeted Siri-Raw and Roy from Silver Star Hall.Today, I would like to express my sincere gratitude for not only studying cooking with the people around the forest, but also allowing me to spend the night. "

"Hmm. As long as you don't break the forest code, we'll treat you like guests.It is also difficult for us to deepen our ties with the people of the castle town. "

In this case, they were two names that valued formality only.

Roy and Nicolas were also exposed to the air, so I greeted her with a better look than usual.

"Now, please come in here.I'll take your coat first. "

"Yes, excuse me."

Guests will drain their jackets and then enter in turn.After seeing him, Ey-Fa went back to the dismantling room.

If Dari-Sauti is put in, there will be eleven people, so one side of the wall will be filled with a coat.After looking around at the people who stood there, Cyril Low lowered his head again.

"Today, I came to learn the skills and attitudes of the people around the forest.Thank you for your patience. "

Cyril Rowe was thorough and courteous.

I'm sure that's a sign of her willingness.There is no sign of tension or shrinkage in this situation, and the eyes are as good as Reina Lou.Rather, she may be behaving more politely than ever to restrain herself.

"Well, there shouldn't be anyone to meet for the first time.I think they're greeting each other somewhere... what about Yun-Sudra? "

"Yes, if you say hello, how many times?But I'm sure it's the thinnest part of the story.I would be delighted if you could take this opportunity to deepen your bond. "

When Yun-Sudra greeted her like that with a bright smile, Cyril Rowe looked back at you with a tough look.

"... I certainly don't think any of you here have ever spoken of your cooking.Of course, this is not necessarily the case with banquet dishes made in collaboration with others..... "

"Yes, I've never arranged a place for a feast, and I've never served anyone a meal I cooked alone.It's probably the most immature of them all. "

"No, that's not true.Yun-Sudra, a wonderful cook.I'm learning a lot. "

And Platica seemed to have gotten upset and said so.

Yun-Sudra looks a little embarrassed.

"Thank you, but I'm sure that's why Platica wants to make the job of keeping the barrel of the house a living one.I think what you want is different from what you want to do when you work in a place called a restaurant. "

"No, aside from these circumstances, Yun-Sudra's work has reached a high standard even around the forest.You will understand this by just going through today's day. "

Even Nicolas said that, so Yun-Sudra became more and more afraid.

After all, Cyril Rowe saluted "I see."

"Now, I would like you to learn from me.... Aster, how do you plan to proceed today? "

"That's right. The main theme of this time is that the chefs of Kamado-nam near the forest and the castle town will learn the tricks and manners you want.How about a time-separated format to show off your cooking? "

"I see... but the food we learned from our teacher Vulcus takes a long time to cook, and there are parts that we can't even see in the eyes of the rest of us.Please include it there. "

"I understand. But you can also cook, right?"

"Of course, we can't offer to hide our hands and learn unilaterally.We want to show off the dishes we invented. "

With a challenging voice, Cyril Rowe said so.

"Copy that," I laugh.

"First of all, let's take two moments to Jomtien.Do you have any requests about what kind of dishes we should be showcasing? "

Cyril Rowe and Roy ran something at the same time.

The two names once again meet at the top of the Buddha.

"... could you leave the partition to me in this situation?"

"No, there won't be any brothers or disciples here.You should have the same right to speak up. "

"Do you think you can make more accurate requests than I do?"

"If that's not the case, you should make requests in turn.Were you just going to push your own demands? "

Roy, who had been quiet for a long time, still had a hot spirit in his chest.

With that in mind, I tried to arbitrate "so-so".

"Let's make a suggestion for both of you and let us choose.What did you two just say? "

The two names were speaking again at the same time.

Limi Lou laughed at her.

"My breath is perfect and interesting, but I can't hear you unless you talk in turn.What did Cyril Rowe say? "

"I said Asta's gibberish, Marfila-Naham's stewed dishes, Tour-din's kurimufu."

"Hmm. So, where's Roy?"

"I said I wanted to ask you to cook something I've never spoken of, because I don't care who's partitioning it."

Roy turned back toward Sili-Raw as he looked at him more and more.

"I've had a lot of sightseeing at previous feasts, and I don't know how to make the tour-din kurimufu.That's because combining ingredients is life. "

"What are you talking about?The only thing we saw in preparation for the feast was the fact that the ingredients were already boiled with prepared vanilla.In addition, since the degree of completion of the ingredients was outstanding, it is important to look at the process.In general, how much fruit can you expect from the vague desire to cook something you have never eaten? "

I'm going to throw the word "so-so" again.

"I would like to respond to your request as much as possible.Well, then, if it's "Giba Curry" or "Cream Parfait" that you two have never talked about, you can add it to each request.So... how about Marfila-Naham?Would you be interested in Roy? "

"I don't think so. I was going to take a closer look at him later."

"That's right, there's plenty of time left after Jomtien, so there's no need to rush.In two minutes, one item is too loose, so let's show off the two items at the same time. "

The joint study group was then started in the hot air.

Dari-Sauti also looks forward to the occasion with a pleasant look.Most of us work on study groups every day, but today was still going to be a special day.
