The next day - the 25th of the yellow moon.
When we visited Kimus's Tail Pavilion to rent a stall, we were greeted by Milan-Mouth on the top of the Buddha.
It's like a tasting party, but Soon, Xuanhongtei and Randall's Long Ear Pavilion will be ready to cook.
"Randall's Long Ear Pavilion"?It looks like it's an unfamiliar inn. "
"Ah, the inn didn't even ask the people around the forest for help.The owner was skilled at handling Geld's ingredients, and he was offering a lot of amazing sweets. "
"I see. I look forward to a tasting of what kind of sweets it is."
When I answered that, Milano-Mouth sighed deeply.
"Why do you want to go to such a meeting?I think I finally understand your hard work. "
"Ahahah, but I don't think you need to worry so much.Nobles and royalties aren't so arrogant.I'm sure you'll like Kimus's Tail Pavilion. "
"Hmm. I just hope so."
Then Levi talked enthusiastically as he rented the stall and was aiming for the stall area.
"Hey, I'm meeting him for a tasting in two days!Kimus's Tail Pavilion was supposed to serve us ramen! "
"Ah, then Levi and Lars are going to the castle that day.Milan-Mouth had a face that didn't float, so I thought you were going out on your own. "
When I said that, Lars, who was walking with his cane, smiled softly.
"I'm sure your husband is worried that Arashi won't buy you any trouble.Your husband is very kind. "
"Fufu, I don't want to be upset because it's Asta Noramen.In order to compete as a human in Kimus's Tail Pavilion, I need to show you something nice and repay you! "
Levi seems to be very excited.I was looking forward to seeing how their ramen would be appreciated.
(I did teach you the basic recipe, but it was Lars who finished the flavor.Maromaro chit-pickled toppings are completely original... and will definitely produce good results.)
If you arrive at the stall area, it will be open as usual.
Princess Del Share was supposed to come down the hall at the second hour, so we were able to get back to work as usual.
(Today is the 25th day of the yellow moon... and this is the first day I cooked for Ai-Fa two years ago.)
And then my thoughts will fly in an unexpected direction.Last night's happy hour still dazzled a part of my heart.
(Were they attacked by madaramas in the river that day?I accidentally saw her naked to help Ai-Fa... ah, no! I'm worried!)
I sneaked down on the black stone under my neck and decided to calm down.
The stalls are as prosperous as ever.The Yatai Village of the inn should be as prosperous as it is, but there is no sign that our sales will drop.This was the most important proof that the number of visitors to the post towns had increased more than ever.
The town is always busy, so I can't feel any significant change until then - compared to two years ago, there will be an extraordinary increase in passers-by.It would have been an honor if the gibberish cuisine that could only be tasted in Genos had helped.
"Good work, Aster."
After finishing their peak in the morning, Qukulel from Black Windshield came.I didn't see him yesterday and yesterday, so it's been a reunion since the tasting.
"Thank you. Good job the other day."
"Yes, may I have a moment later?"
With my permission, K'Kluel bought me street food while thanking me.
Then, after half an hour, they quickly circle around the back of the stall.
"In two days, it will be a tasting party again.Me and Arishna have been invited again. "
"Oh, I knew it.Last time, however, it was named to hear the impressions of the ingredients of the King's City in the south.What's your name this time? "
"I don't know yet.I'm traveling around different lands, so I was told that I might be profound about cooking, but... then there's no reason to invite Arishna. "
"I see. Somehow, you don't want to change your facial expression as much as possible. Maybe it's the idea of not being unfair to a tasting three days ago."
"I see. It's an interesting tasting party, so I'm not in the trouble of being invited either... but I'm a little concerned because they're Jaguar's royals."
Speaking like that, K'Kluel had a calm look.Though there are some concerns, there is nothing to be timid about.Platica tells me that even at the last tasting, the Jaguars never behaved rudely.
"It seems that the quality of cooking has improved considerably even in the workplace town.When I visited you before, I don't think there were many stalls where I still served a delicious dish... but in only a year, I think there were more delicious dishes to see. "
"Yeah, you guys are doing your best.I'm sure you'll be satisfied at the tasting. "
"It's a pleasure," K'Kluel left.
It was Dora's father and Tara who came to the stall instead.
"Hi, Mr. Tired! Today's dish looks delicious too!"
Dora's father, who first stood in front of my stall, smiled at me.
"Thank you every time.... you're always in a better mood today.Did something good happen? "
"Yeah? Yeah, I guess so. Actually, a messenger from the Count of Saturas came this morning.I'm going to say a compliment. "
"A compliment?"
"Ah, the southern royals are delighted that Durham's vegetables are of good quality.I was given a compliment and a favor to the house that was running the field in Durham. "
That's how my father broke his smile.
"Well, it wasn't a big deal if we all split up.It feels good to be praised for growing vegetables on salt. "
"I see. I tend to forget thanksgiving because I'm nothing compared to the rest of the field, but the quality of Durham's vegetables is still high.I'm sure it would be amazing if you could praise the royals who are famous for their gastronomy. "
"Oh, you're such nice people.Why don't you invite the princess to Asta's house today?Let's cook a delicious dish with our vegetables. "
Tara also smiles happily because Dora's father seemed to be feeling sincerely clear.
Then my dear father and daughter pulled into the blue sky cafeteria, and Kruer-Sung, who was helping me, whispered "I see."
"Yeah? I wonder what's going on?"
"Huh? Oh, I'm sorry!I accidentally shouted! "
Kur-Sung has a sedentary temperament, but occasionally reveals cuteness commensurate with his age.This is precisely the time.With mysterious silver-grey eyes, it's fascinating to see Kruer-Sung dye his cheeks embarrassed, with a splendid appearance of Vina Lou-Lirin or Yamil-Ray.
"No, you don't have to apologize.Could you please tell me what you're convinced of? "
"Yes... I think the royals of the south are quite a disturbing presence for Genos... but I thought it would seem a lot better for people who don't have the opportunity to face each other directly..."
"Hmm? Was there anyone else like that besides Dora's father?"
"Yes, these are Sung's family, including my family."
As she rubbed her red cheeks, Kruer-Sung repeated her words.
"The southern royals seem to be completely indifferent to their identity.Not only is Kamamoto near the forest, but even the residents of the post town are invited to the castle town, which serves to connect the various people... I can hear that the attitude is extremely fair.My father and others have long hoped that the royals would make Genos a more livable place. "
"I see. I think that's the way it is."
"Yes, but... when I talk to the face-to-face asters and the townspeople in the workplace, I can't deny the impression that it's a lot of noise.That's why I felt that some people, including Asta, were having a hard time developing Genos... "
Oh, I see. But perhaps the hardest part is the gentlemen of Genos who have always been there. "
That's how I made Kruer-Sun laugh.
"If this is how Genos develops, it's worth the trouble.I want to keep up well with the royals. "
"Yes, unless I'm sorry for all the trouble Asta and Tour-Din have had...."
"That's not true. This time, I think the hardship is spread out."
Nevertheless, I have a dinner appointment with Princess Del Share at Fa's house today.There was no doubt that we were responsible for so much trouble, including the struggle of Ai Fa.
As time passed and the two moments of descent approached, a group of Princess Del Shea finally arrived from downtown.
There are five fine Totos cars that can accommodate ten people.Also, since only twenty Jaguar cavalry across Toth were accompanying them, the people in and out became noisy.
However, the group passed in front of the stall and went south solemnly.
They were supposed to wait between town and the woods and meet there.Alvach and the others visited the stalls without so many escorts, but they probably had different manners.
By the way, His Highness Dakarmas has not accompanied us this time.Although he is passionate about delicious food, he is not interested in the cooking process at all.
Instead, he asked Martin to invite him to a feast near the forest before the mission returned home.In the interior, the chiefs around the forest had already been notified, and discussions were under way on what kind of feast to have.
(So, after all, the hardship is spread out fairly well.)
When I was thinking like that, I was called "Asta" from behind.Jeddah, a hunter of the Lou family who had gone down to his post town as a guardian of the Iwai family.
"There are about three people from the south approaching from behind.Wouldn't that be the Jaguar princess? "
"I think Princess Del Share is in her car."
"Well, then I wonder who he is."
Feeling somehow uncomfortable, I followed Jeddah's gaze.
There are four people who bypass the blue sky cafeteria and the stall and circle here from the back.One was also a guard, Ludo Lou, two Jaguar men dressed like peddlers, and the last - a very small man who hid his face in a hooded cape.
"Hi, Mr. Tired. This is how the street stalls in the workplace town look."
The person smiled from behind the hood.
A tiny, cute daughter with emerald green eyes and brown hair - unmistakably Princess Del Share.
"Dell..."
"Ah, idiot. Don't call me by name.It's because I'm holding out on people. "
"Well, why are you here?What was that group? "
"So, yeah, if you show me how I look, you won't realize I'm hiccups like this, will you?But the people at the inn have broken faces, so I'm wearing a headscarf. "
Of course, no one would imagine the royal princess wandering around the town with only two guards.
Right in front of me, Princess Del Shea smiled.
"I'm going to try plenty around the woods.We still have time for dinner, so I thought we'd have lunch snacks here.I'm going to go around the front, so don't make any noise in the strange wind. "
That said, Princess Del Shea and the two men quickly walked away.
Kuru-Sung looks at me with a sympathetic look.
"That was the royal princess, wasn't it?... I still think Asta is responsible for double the hardship. "
"Yeah, well, that's not even possible."
The end of the day is near, so you've already sold out half of the stalls.Later on, I was in charge of "hot pot meat", Yun-Sudra was in charge of "Gibbaman", and the Lou family was in charge of "miso-tailored hot pot".
"Ah, did you sell out the tour-din sweets?Well, no, for now, all the dishes are served for three people at a time. "
"I understand. But with that amount, Dell - a woman's stomach could swell up a lot."
"It's okay! I'm as big as a man's stomach!"
Princess Del Shea smiles sharply with her innocent face.No one would expect her to be a royal princess because she is still wearing plain clothes worn by merchants under her cloak.At Easter the other day, the people of Genos were quite familiar with the Jaguar woman.
As soon as Princess Del Share headed for the Blue Sky Cafeteria, this dish was sold out.
Clean up the stalls with Kurua-Sun and head towards the blue sky cafeteria, where you'll be greeted again with a hilarious smile.
"Every dish tastes great!Besides, it's very easy to eat because it mainly consists of tau oil, miso and southern condiments! "
"Yes, it happens, but I think there were a few bad dishes left."
"Wow, I'm looking forward to a strong dish.I'm getting ready to sweat, so don't hesitate! "
The two men are eating silently.The broken one was a young soldier named Rode, without a beard.
"What a noisy little girl.I was wondering if the Iron Fixture Shop's daughter came back early. "
Levi, who was helping the blue sky cafeteria earlier, called out that way later.
I think I should keep it hidden at the moment, and I say, "I see."If we reveal the truth tomorrow, we will face the heavens.
(But maybe I'm glad Levi's ramen is sold out.In any case, I would like you to eat it for the first time in the same place as everyone else)
As far as I was concerned, I was only comforted by such thoughts.
Then, about half an hour later, to the second hour of descent, the customers who had filled the blue sky cafeteria also left.
Princess Del Shea also left a voice saying, "Bye," and disappeared south of the street.They will join the group just now before us.
The ritual of welcoming Princess Del Share to the woods began with a little surprise from the beginning.
◇
After returning the stall in Kimus's Tail Pavilion, we headed for the woods with Princess Del Share's group.
The first thing we need to do is go to Lou's settlement.The settlement square was bustling, as Lou's bloodline was still in rest.
"Oh, you're back!"
And it was Rau-Ray who welcomed us first.
Even Gazran-Lutim and Guillain-Lillin are approaching, wondering why Rau-Ray is in the Lou settlement.It was said that the head of the family was gathering to welcome Princess Del Shea.
"I didn't know how to thank a royal person, so I decided to do so.Well, it was just a rest period. "
Gazlan Rutim smiles with his usual sedimentation.Nothing was dangerous, but as far as I could rely.
By the time five Totos cars and twenty cavalry arrive, the Donda-Rou will also appear from the main house.Ziza Lou, as well as the heads of the branches Darm Lou, Sin Lou, and Digd Lou, and the heads of Minh, Mufa, and Mum had faces.
"Hi, thank you very much, but I'm very sorry to hear that."
And Porcus, who appeared from Totos' car, thanked the Donda-Rou and the others.
After returning my condolences to you, Donda-Lou will have a sharp gaze.All the men who got out of the car with Porcus were Genos officers wearing white leather armor.
"Today, you said that Melfrid would not accompany you."
"Yes, Lord Melfrid is at Genos Castle with His Royal Highness Prince Dakarmas VI.Should there be as few people attending dinner as possible, but should there be less burden on Astor? "
Poores whispered to Donda-Lou, worrying about the Totos car behind him.
"In addition, Princess Del Share asks me to leave my seat when I visit the cook's job.I can't concentrate on the tour when the nobles are around... instead, I'll have a few Jaguars with me, so can you do that? "
"Whatever, but how are you going to spend the rest of your time?"
"If you don't mind, I'd like to speak with His Serene Highness Donda-Lou.... but this is also a valuable opportunity to talk without worrying about the ears of the royals. "
"I understand," Donda-Lou replied gravely.
"So you're placing soldiers around the settlement again?Today, it seems to be more than usual. "
"Yes, Jagal and Genos will each have 30 soldiers.Are you sure you want to place it now? "
With the approval of Donda-Rou, the soldiers move.
With that sideways, Pollus laughed at me.
"Oh, Lord Aster, I just met you three days ago, and I feel like I'm rusty for a long time."
"Yes, Porcus must have had a busy day."
"Yeah, well, I'm the diplomat and the conciliator's assistant.Just as I welcomed you, Gerd, I've come to serve you from both sides. "
Porcus was a little tired, but he didn't stop laughing.
"I may have worried a lot because I didn't have the opportunity to talk to Asta-sensei.Both I and Mr Melfrid are doing their best, so I hope you'll be able to do your job without any worries. "
"Yes, please be careful not to push Pollus too hard."
I wanted to ask what impressions Pollus and the others had on the royals, but I plan to talk to Donda-Lou and the others later.I don't think there is much respite left now, and I decided to listen to it later.
Eventually, when the soldier is deployed, Princess Del Share gets off with a full seat.
I just took off my hooded cape and I stayed on the lookout.The same is true of one soldier, Rode, but with a fine dagger on his waist.And with it appeared Diplomat Fermez and Servant Gemdo.
"Nice to meet you. Are you the chief of the forest?"
Neither Donda-Rou nor the hunters around her looked scared, and Princess Del Shea smiled with a smile.
"I am Del Shea, the first son of Dakarmas, the sixth prince of Jagal.Please meet me. "
"... I am Donda-Lou, the chief of the forest, and these six will be the heads of the families, and these will be the heads of the branches."
Well, it's all about the good guys.
Princess Del Shea smiled, but Lodé and others were already in a tight mood.It would be natural to welcome Lou's blood parents for the first time.Especially Digdo-Lou, whose whole body was covered in ancient wounds, was supposed to have a powerful score regardless of who saw it.
"Today, we're going to have a study party at our Lou settlement.I promise not to disturb the peace around the forest, thank you very much. "
Donda-Rou nodded silently, pointing his exploratory gaze at Princess Del Share's smile.
Then this is Fermez with an elegant smile.
"It's been a long time, Donda-Lou.And Gazran-Lutim and the others.... I'm also leaving my seat during cooking work, so I hope I can deepen my interaction with Hisasa. "
Speaking like that, Fermez has looked at me a little bit slightly.Speaking of which, I had little time to talk to Fermez at the tasting the other day.
(But, well, Fermez is also attending dinner today.Until then, please be patient.)
Fermez and Porcus are guided to the main house's main house, and Princess Del Shea is guided to the main house's cabin.On that way, Princess Del Shea smiled at her after seeing the Poles disappear across the door.
"Ah, I'm finally free!I told you I didn't need a noble accompaniment.I insist you follow me! "
"Well, if anything happened to Princess Del Share, the nobles of Genos would be very responsible."
"What do you mean? If we had 60 soldiers, we wouldn't be able to get close to strange people!I can't accommodate you at all! "
Saying so, Princess Del Shea gazed around.
"But it's amazing! I've heard rumors that it's so deep in the woods!Something's exciting! "
"Yes, I think I was as comfortable as Princess Del Share in the first place."
"That's right! The air is clear too!The wind feels so good! "
Princess Del Share was like a child.
Eventually, when they arrived at the cabin, the members who were ahead were lined up in front of the entrance.From the Lou family, it looks like Meer Ray's mother and the three sisters of the main family, with the exception of Thur-Din, Yun-Sudra, Ray-Matua, Marfila-Naham and Kur-Sung.
"Welcome to Lou's house. My name is Mia Ray-Rae Rae Rae Rae, and I am the companion of Chief Donda Rae Rae Rae."
Mum Meer Ray greeted her in a somewhat more polite way than usual.
I said, "Hi! Then Princess Del Shea looked around at the young crowd with curious eyes.
"Still, you guys look amazing!I wore textiles in my workplace town, but my stomach and legs are rounded out! "
"Yes, the unwedded ladies aren't used to wearing these outfits."
"Hmm! Look, the people of the south are vulnerable to the sun!No matter how hot it gets, it doesn't expose my skin that way.I may have never seen a navel outside my family! "
As Princess Del Shea continued her hot gaze, Reina Lou slightly retreated behind her chest.I wonder if the abominable memories of the other day's tasting have come back to life.
"Well, thank you anyway! I haven't been greeted yet... by you or by you?"
"I am Lara-Lou, the third woman of the Lou family.Reina's sister, Limi's sister. "
"I am Sung's youngest sister and my name is Kur-Sung.It's the newest and most immature time, but I always attend these study groups. "
"Mm-hmm! If we don't train again, we'll be immature forever!I'm going to learn a lot from you today! "
Less than 150 centimeters tall, Princess Del Shea still seemed energized by her small body today.
So today's study meeting for Princess Del Share finally began.
