1025 Reunification of Southern Missions (2) ~ Reunification ~

"A royal man. That's a fancy story."

At dinner that night, Dari-Sauti was laughing at the crowd.

Others are uniformly decent.I wonder if the weight of the word "royal" hasn't been realized yet.That was the same thing for me.

In the meantime, it was Ai Fa who had an urgent expression on his face.

"Why did such a person come all the way to Genos?Isn't there something wrong? "

"I don't think the Poles know that either.Rather, it's more than us. "

"What a sigh... so maybe you'll be invited to the castle tomorrow?"

Eye Fa approached me with her blue eyes shining brightly.I nodded, "Yeah," as I stumbled on the stupid idea of how terrible it would be if I stuck the tip of my nose.

"They'll send a messenger first thing in the morning to see if it's really going to happen tomorrow.Then I can also ask Yun-Sudra to be the partitioner of the stall.... "

"That's not the problem. You're going to meet someone with the status of a royal family on the spot?"

"That's right, but when it comes to reviewing ingredients, it's something I've been asking for a long time.You can't say no now, can you? "

After a deep sigh, Ai-Fa turned back towards Dari-Sauti.

"... I'm sorry, but tomorrow you may have to take a break from your hunting duties."

"It's no big deal. I don't think Ai Fa would be in the mood for another human escort.I was told that the mission would arrive at this time of year, so I was expecting a day off. "

That said, Dari-Sauti slightly tilted his head.

"By the way, why is the story confidential?It doesn't seem like we're hiding anything. "

"Yes, it's the first time we've welcomed a royal guest to Genos, so we don't seem to have a clear policy on how Pollus and the others should handle it.Whether or not to announce this fact to the residents seems to be a matter of first checking the royals' intentions. "

"Hmm. But you wanted to keep it a secret from the people around the forest."

"Yes, I was going to be invited to the castle town anyway, so he secretly told me that he would need to be prepared.It's just an informal secret, so you couldn't send an envoy to the chief of the forest. "

"You'll have to thank Pollux for his kindness many times."

And Ey-Fa still has a tough face.

Looking at you, Dari-Sauti smiled.

"If Asta is to be summoned to the castle town tomorrow, I will accompany him as a guardian.If you explain that you happened to be staying at Fa's house, other aristocrats will not be happy with you. "

"I would be most grateful if you would accompany my chief, Dari-Sauti.... don't be alarmed and work hard, Aster. "

"Yes, I understand. The first time I saw Roberts at the mission, he had a sword-eating vibe."

But at the end of the dinner party, Roberts could barely deepen his relationship.I also wanted to build a good relationship with the guests this time.

"Does the chief Dari-Sauti leave for the castle town?Are we still answering the phone? "

When Dawn's eldest brother said that, Dari-Sauti nodded, "That's right."

"Recently, unless the number of people invited was so large, there were up to two guards.Only me and Ai Fa should accompany you. "

"Huh? Is Dari-Sauti going to the castle town without offering?"

And now the young parent of Vera speaks up.When Dari-Sauti approximated the castle town, he was probably accompanying him as a gift.

"Hmm. I'm not going as a chief, I'm going to accompany Asta as a guard.There won't be any need for an escort. "

"But isn't that too dangerous?"

"If it seems dangerous, we should not send Asta or Ai-Fa to the castle town in the first place."

Dali-Sauti said with a gentle smile.

"We've always been against a lot of nobles.Some of them were mischievous, but they were dealt with as innocent sinners.No matter how tall you are, the bad guys are punished.Believe that, you should first see what kind of person they are. "

"Hmm. Fighting without knowing anything will only alert the opponent."

It was Dawn's eldest brother, who had a great temper, who uttered such words.

Dawn's eldest brother turns to Ai-Fa with a smile on his face.

"So Eye Fa, calm down a bit.Don't you know the other person is a bad person? "

"... there were many troublesome people who came from afar.You can't be unaware until you know if you're an enemy or an ally. "

"Geld's princess wasn't bad from the beginning.Well, I guess Fa's house still had a lot of trouble. "

That said, Dawn's eldest brother laughed more joyfully.

"Aster is struggling because he has a power commensurate with it.I think you should be proud of it, not bother. "

"Hmm... I know that..."

Ey-Fa dragged her lips around her mouth so that she could watch her lips hang.

Dada's eldest sister then said with a smile.

"Isn't it natural to worry about your family's asta because I'm the head of the family?I don't think anybody's as swallowed as you are, so I think we should just keep an eye out. "

"Inhalation is another pretty nasty thing to say.I'm not telling you not to worry about Aster either. "

"If you weren't, there wouldn't be anybody in this world."

The other women giggled at the words.Also, Dawn's eldest brother himself is laughing, so the air doesn't get bad.

For the first time in about a month and a half, I chewed the calm air they brought me.One of the facial expressions had changed, but they filled Fa's house with such a gentle atmosphere back then.

"... I'm fine, Ey-Fa.I'll do my job all the time, so keep an eye out for me. "

When I whispered like that, Ai Fa nodded, "Hmm."

◇

And the next day--

After all, a message of convocation was delivered from the castle of Genos.

The assembly time is the fourth hour of the ascent.The location is a VIP inn in the castle town.I would like Asta of Pharaoh's house to examine the ingredients delivered from King's City in the south.The number of people accompanying him was as small as possible.

The last sentence is wording that has not been heard much before.To put it bluntly, a small number of people would suggest that it would be easier.Normally, during these times, I had multiple kamado turns to deepen my relationship with the people of the castle town.

I asked Yun-Sudra to divide the stall and left for the castle town with only Ai-Fa and Dari-Sauti.

This is probably the first time I've travelled to a castle town with such a small number of people.It was unclear at the moment whether or not I would meet the royal people, but I was still feeling quite nervous.

Lateness is not permitted, so depart from Pharaoh's house before the third hour of the ascent with ease.When I arrived at the castle gate by driving Ai-Fa, Hisasa's garden was waiting for me.

"Oh, it's been a long time, Astor.I'm glad you're feeling so well. "

Gardel said that while he was swimming his eyes for a while.As always, the body is a large but delicate garden.

"My wounds weren't so bad.It's great to have you back at work, Gardell. "

"Oh, I was wounded months ago... and I still can't do my job as a defensive militia, and it's just unworthy."

After saying that, Gardel bent over to my ear with a big figure.

"More importantly, it seems that the South Royals are mixed up in this mission.Did you already know Astor? "

"Ah, yes, secretly.... where did Gardell hear that? "

"In the castle town, it has been announced since the morning.It looks like they're going to announce it in a workplace town or something. "

Now, this case is no longer confidential.

Then he will do all the work that he has been asked to do.

"Well, please be careful, Astor.Thank you, because the Royals of the South... seem a little strange. "

"Weird? I wish I wasn't a bad guy."

"I don't know if he's a bad guy, but he's obsessed with a delicious meal."

That's how Gardel stared at me with her pale eyes.

"I don't think so... but Astard hasn't moved to Jagal, has he?"

"Yeah? Why are you telling me that?"

"If you're obsessed with delicious food, you're obsessed with skilled cooks, right?Aster said that she had been bewitched by Princess Refrea before... and that if she was a royal person, she might use her position to make an imprudent offer... "

"Since there are so many cooks in the castle town, you won't be obsessed with me.After all, my hometown is just around the woods.Whatever happens, we don't move to the rest of the land. "

"I see... I'm glad then."

Gardel was relieved.

So I finally changed to a Totos car and drove to the guest house.Along the way, Ey-Fa had his eyebrows lifted.

"The man named Gardell... has spoken a lot of bad words to me."

"Huh? Does Ey-Fa hear you even if you keep quiet?... it's okay. There's no way people in the royal position are obsessed with me. "

"... Geld's nobleman, Alvach, seems to have been obsessed with you for a long time?"

Eye = fa's eyes are gradually sharpening.

But they were all expressions of concern for me.

"It's okay. All four gods are brothers.Believe me, there's no such thing as a rude offer from a fine Jaguar royal figure. "

"... let's see what kind of person they are."

For a moment, Ey-Fa gripped my hand with a powerful grip.

Dali-Sauti, looking out the window, looks back at us with a gentle smile.

"Don't worry, it's Ey-Fa.Neither I nor the nobles of Genos will miss such a lawlessness.If these people had been as vicious as Cycleus and Sil 'el, they would have just pulled back together, as they were before. "

Dari-Sauti has been a gentle man since last night, but he was so prepared for it.

When I unexpectedly corrected my posture, Dari-Sauti repeated, "Don't worry."

"Actually, I don't think so.The higher you are, the more bound you are to the laws of the kingdom.A man who works evil through it will surely be judged by the laws of the kingdom. "

When Ai-Fa nodded "umu" with a harsh expression, Totos' car arrived at the VIP hotel.

Visiting this place is also about hisasa.While we were being escorted by the Gardel, we were guided to the bathhouse by a samurai and a surname.

I've been expecting you, folks from the woods

And what I was waiting for was Sheila, who looked at me yesterday.

They look at us one by one, as if those eyes were suing us for something.After that, Sheila opened her mouth.

"Message from Mr Porcus.As a matter of fact, the Jagal royals were accompanied to this mission... and they were set up for today's food review. "

"Huh, the Jagal royals," Dari-Sauti replies briefly.Because of the eyes of the guides and the samurai, they must not be made to realize that they were preached.

"Yes, because they are royalty, so as long as the people around the forest don't behave rudely... that's what Pollux said."

"I understand. Since I and Ey-Fa are only witnesses, I don't have a chance to speak with them.... Aster, don't be rude to me. "

"Yes, I understand."

After Dari-Sauti had spoken well together, Sheila secretly took a breath of relief.She thus regained her original lucidity and laughed at Ai-Fa.

"With that in mind, I would like the witness to wear Genos costume as well.Thank you for your patience. "

"Genos costume? Is it the costume of a samurai to be prepared for a tea party?"

"Yes, I can help you change Eye-Fah-sama."

So we cleansed ourselves as soon as possible.

The guard's face was passed on to the morning messenger, so in the meantime, a suit for Dari-Sauti's size is prepared.Dari-Sauti, wearing it with the help of his surname, was a truly majestic samurai figure.

"Hmm. Compared to the unusual costume of the masquerade ball, it's no big deal."

It is a white dress reminiscent of a soldier's tuxedo, not armor.After all, it was Dali-Sauti, who was blessed with his physique, and he was so brave that he wanted to be called a general of the army, because it had even a heavy pendulum.

However, the samurai's dagger was not prepared, and the sword he brought was kept on the spot.It is said that there is no such thing as a knife to sit in the same seat as the royals.

However, since I always keep my sword at places such as festivals, there is nothing I can do.If they felt in danger, it was the hunters around the forest who wanted to steal their weapons from their enemies.

So now it's Ai-Fa's turn, and me and Dari-Sauti wait for it in the corridor.

There she was.

"Excuse me... may I have a word with you...?"

I didn't think, "Ah!" and shouted loudly.

Whoever it was, it was Chiffon-Cher.

"Oh, good to see you, Chiffon-Cher!I've been expecting you back! "

"Thank you... Asta-sama seems to be a magnificent man, above all..."

Chiffon-Cher smiled softly, as I know.

Honey wavy long hair, glossy purple eyes, loose white skin, and a smooth length - its undulating limbs are wrapped in white long coats.Everything was Chiffon-Cher as seen before.

"Thank you very much for being safe.I'm relieved that you're looking well.Chiffon-Cher is already a Jaguar people, isn't he?Don't hesitate, even if you talk like this, you'll be forgiven. "

"Well... please calm down, Asta-sama... the others are surprised..."

Other people would be samurai officers or petty names.

But I couldn't stop my heart from bouncing around.It was only two and a half months since Chiffon-Cher left Genos, but I was looking forward to this day with all my heart.

"There's still a lot of time left before the review meeting... If you don't mind, until then, Miss Refreah says she wants to have a cup of tea with us... how about that?"

"Of course!... Ah, can you forgive Dari-Sauti?"

"There is no reason to avoid anything.Looks like it was worth the loose end. "

Dari-Sauti told me that to hawk.Of course, Dali-Sauti, the chief of the forest, knows everything about Chiffon-Cher.I couldn't help but tell you how much she helped me when I was exposed to Refleia.The only thing I haven't told you is that I went to the bathhouse with him on the first day he was taken.

"... thanks to you, I could never be the Son of the Southern God.From the bottom of my heart, I would like to express my gratitude. "

That said, Chiffon-Cher smiled softly.

She wanted to go back to Genos, so she was separated from her brother Eleo-Cer - and the smile didn't seem to have any regrets.

"Thank you very much.I'm really happy to be able to interact with Chiffon-Cher without blindfolding people. "

I also gave you a heartfelt smile.

Chiffon-Cher, smiling happily, glanced at what he noticed.

"... I think it would be a lot worse for Asta-sama to talk to you from the front... but Asta-sama has grown a lot taller.With all due respect, I think I was bigger the first time I saw you.... "

I noticed it, too.Chiffon-Cher used to be about five centimeters bigger, but now I'm just a little bit bigger.

Still, the impression of Chiffon-Cher remains the same.She seemed kind, grown up, and very firm, but somehow she was such an attractive woman who tried to bully the opponent in front of her without being caught in negative emotions while spending a long time as a slave.

"This is where we first met Chiffon-Cher, right?This is no longer the home of the Earl of Turan... but it is very impressive that I was able to meet Chiffon-Cher here. "

When I answered like that, Chiffon-Cher smiled softly and shed tears.

"Ah... I'm sorry... when I saw Asta-sama's smile, my chest suddenly got stuffed..."

"My parents scolded me for often spilling tears.It's an honor for Chiffon-Cher to cry about me. "

When I joked, Chiffon-Cher drowned in shame while soaking his tears.

It was at that moment that Ai-Fa came out of the bathhouse.Eye Fa, wearing the uniform of a samurai, glanced sharply at Chiffon-Cher.

"You... what are you doing in a place like this?"

"Refraea invited me to tea.Of course Ai Fa won't say no either, right? "

Eye Fa solemnly nodded "Hmm" after she scolded me with her sideways eyes.

Sheila, who came out of the bathhouse together, talked to Chiffon-Cher with a smile.

"I hear Princess Refrea is resting upstairs.Please be careful not to be late for the review party, as it's about half an hour away. "

"I understand... please give my regards to Mr. Pollux..."

Chiffon-Cher and Sheila speak equally as the same maid.That's all I could do to chew on my little joy again.

Then we'll take Chiffon-Cher to the upstairs room.Only one samurai came after me.This samurai must be our guide, our guard, and our surveillance.

Eventually, it arrived in the back room on the second floor.

When Chiffon-Cher calls, the door slowly opens.It was San Jura who showed up from there.

"Welcome, welcome. Master Refreah, I'm waiting for you."

Sanjula also smiles loosely.Neither Chiffon-Cher seems tired from the long journey.Alternatively, the first reunion of two and a half months with Refraea may have blown away such fatigue.

Only samurai remain in the corridor, and we are invited indoors.

They were waiting for Refraea, Torsto and Musulu.The key members of the Earl of Turan family that I know of were so impressive.

"Welcome, Asta, Ai-Fa.And you, the chief of the forest... "

"It's Dari-Sauti. I didn't know I was staying at Fa's house, so today I'm going to accompany you as a witness."

It was a coincidence that Dari-Sauti stayed at Fa's house, so it was not a lie.Refrea grabbed the dress and thanked the lady, saying, "Yes."

"Everyone is welcome.It's been half an hour, and there's only a few hours left, but please relax. "

Refraea had a disgraced face, but her eyes had a bright light that she couldn't hide. When she attended Dial's farewell dinner party about 20 days ago, she was no longer like anyone else.Even in that slender body, the sweet vitality that had been hiding from me until now was revived.

We'll sit side-by-side.Sitting opposite were Refleia and Torsto, with Sanjula and Musulu lined up behind the bench.Chiffon-Cher is heading to the corner of the room to prepare his tea.

"Sanjula and Chiffon-Cher were also able to return safely from Jagal.Thank you to the people around the forest for all your hard work, and thank you for your continued support. "

Torsto, who looks like a tight pug dog, also has a bright smile.Torsto, who is good and honest, is sure to be delighted that the depressed Refleia is feeling better.

Among the faithful knights of Refleia are Musulu.Covered in a splendid beard, his bony face seemed to have a serious expression so that he could manage to smile and collapse.

"I'm really glad you're back.I heard that I was able to transfer God without any problems, but was that correct? "

"Yes. The head of the mission, Lord Roberts, has taken good care of the matter of returning Chiffon-Cher to Genos.I can't thank you enough at all. "

When Torsto answered like that, Dari-Sauti rubbed his chin.

"Above all, we can safely transfer God.Wouldn't he have been deprived of him? "

"Ah, Jagal doesn't have the law or the habit, but it's at their discretion.However, it seems to have been such an arrangement to prohibit him from succeeding in the case of a child. "

"I see. It was said that Schmiral-Lillin abandoned him, but Kamur-Josh and the others stayed on top of him... and if we don't let him inherit it it, it's not an important issue."

"Yes. I have a husband with the people around the woods and the freelancers."

That's how Torsto wrinkled his loose face.

"But also, if you are allowed to leave a surname with yourself, it will be a bond with the family that transferred God together.I am also deeply grateful to the people of the South for their efforts. "

"Hmm, that would be true."

When Dari-Sauti responded with a smile, Chiffon-Cher, who had a large basin, returned.Place a cup for the number of people on the table and pour tea with aromatic aromas of aloe in an elegant manner.Refraea, who could see her appearance, was still more satisfied than ever.

(I'm sure she was crying yesterday because she took Chiffon-Cher again.... I'm really glad it fits round.)

I was already about to become obsessed with just the warm air that filled the scene.

That sentiment seemed unrelated, and Eye-Fa spoke out sharply.

"I'm more than happy that your two names are back safely.... by the way, if you knew something about the royal human being, could you tell me the story? "

"Ah, they're going to attend the audition too.Looks like you two are a lot of weirdos. "

Refraea responded cheaply, so Ey-Fa quickly turned back to you.

"Are there two royal people?Does Refleia already have faces with them? "

"Well, there was a Chiffon-Cher incident.I also greeted the members of the Mission.I haven't spoken so many words, but there was a strange smell. "

It's still a rap, because Refraea plays with her heart.

"He didn't seem so noble, and he seemed to have a very cheerful temper... yeah, I don't know.People of the South. "

"What do you think the people of the South are?I think the people of the south are just as tough as the big ones. "

"Whether it's big or strict, it's not much bigger.Anyway, it seems like you're a flattering person, and you're going to say what you think right away... that's what the people of the south are like, right?Though Lord Robros had such temperament, I was wondering if the people of the south would be able to get along with things if they were taller.It wasn't like that either. "

That being said, Refraea giggled.Refraea's smile seemed like rust.

"Eye Fa seems a lot worried.Another bad nobleman - oh, not nobleman this time, but royalty, but I wonder if those people are jeopardizing Asta again? "

"... I think we should be very careful if that's possible."

"You might need to be careful, but I don't think you're going to be able to stretch your elbows that much.When you're dealing with such a lazy person, we're just tired. "

"Lazy... that sounds like the only temperament the people of the south have."

"The identity of the people of the South is honest, isn't it?I'm sure they have a soft temper in their hearts.I'm not trying to hide it, but I'm opening it up. "

Then Torsto shouted in a strange voice.

"They certainly seem to have a liberating side, and Lord Roberts seems to be struggling too.But they're never the bad guys.Also, I don't think royalty will ever succeed to the throne, so I won't be too careful until then. "

"Hmm? So, is it a division or something?"

"No, he is the sixth prince, even though he is a direct line of the current king."

The Sixth Prince - he will not succeed to the throne unless he does so much.But if there was nothing else but the son of the present king, it seemed that he was by no means despised.

"Well then, the other human being...", Ey-Fa said, and I heard a voice from outside the door.The voice of Sheila just broke up.

"I'm sorry to interrupt your conversation.It's a little early, but we're going to start a review session. "

"Oh, you're already starting.I haven't said a word to Asta yet. "

And Refleia turned back to me like a young child with her cheeks swollen.

"I can't help it. When you're done, let's talk about it slowly again.Asta has a lot to tell you. "

"Yeah, that's right," I answered honestly, and Refraea immediately flashed her mouth with joy.

It is truly unusual for Refleia to reveal her feelings to this extent.That alone made me feel warm again.

Anyway, I have to do my job now.With almost no tea left untouched, we went for the kitchen.

Naturally, there are Jaguar soldiers lined up in front of the cook.It looks like it's aligned against the wall to avoid getting in the way, but it's still quite intimidating.

Inside the kitchen, there are a lot of cooks waiting.Thirty people seem to be down this time.And there seemed to be a lot of people I knew very well.

Last but not least, you are gathered in the back of the kitchen.Marquis lord Malstein smiled with a soft smile on his first son, Melfrid, Pollux and his superior diplomat, Fermez, the King's Capital diplomat - and, for some reason, even Eurifia.

Next to it is the face of the mission.Captain Roberts has a soldier captain, Forta, and a clerk, Jin-san - all of them small men in fine costumes, so this would be the royal split.Just like the other three, he's a man of great age with a funny moustache.

(I don't see any other people in the south.Is there only one person present?)

With that suspicion, I joined the group of cooks.Ai-Fa and Dari-Sauti line up against a wall lying on their side with their naked faces.Jagal and Genos had a few soldiers in the kitchen, so Ai-Fa and the others didn't seem to stand out.

When the last incoming Refraea and Torsto join the aristocratic line, Sheila stepped aside from Porcus with a shy step.

"Dear Porcus, it looks like we have all the attendees for today."

"Now, let's start the review meeting.... before that, it will already be known, but today there are people in your position from the King's capital in the south.First, let me introduce you to it. "

Porcus had the usual smiling look on his face, and he didn't seem particularly nervous.It's a reassuring ingredient for me.

The members of the mission are then introduced by Pol 'Earth.As I expected, it was the stranger who became the Sixth Prince of Jagal, Dakarmas.

"And Princess Del Shea, the first daughter of His Highness Dakarmas.... uh, which way would the princess come? "

"If I were you, I'd be here."

And the daughter in white walks out.

She was surrounded by a crowd of cooks.

Many people shouted at the appearance.Of course, I was one of them.

The white dress she was wearing was cooking from anywhere.

"This is Princess Del Share.... Princess Del Share will explain the basic handling of the ingredients delivered from King's Landing in the south.I want you cooks to work on it. "
