1054 Reunion ① ~ Jomtien ~

Finally, that day has come.

The first day of the green moon.

I was supposed to be very attentive, but Ey-Fa laughed at me in the morning and said, "What are you holding back for?"

The first day of the green moon - this was the day when the faces of the architect led by Balan's man arrived in Genos.No matter how much I disciplined myself, I had no choice but to feel it.

The architects came to Genos for the Easter of the Sun, so this is the first reunion in five months.Still, it was impossible for the joy to diminish.The Balan boys were so big to me.

"What a face.You look like you're meeting a girl you're worried about. "

After starting the stall business, Delce, who visited as a customer, said so.

But such a light mouth won't calm my mind.Located on the south side of Genos, the post town is about a half-day journey by truck, so the architect's face will arrive soon, roughly in Jomtien.

The closer I get to that inscription, the more my mind builds up.

Whether I would arrive late due to unforeseen circumstances, or whether everyone would come safely - and sometimes I was so worried, I was busy with street work.

And it's Jomtien.

The stall business also peaked for the second time, and when the job became more hasty - without any premonition, a nostalgic face snooped into the stall.

"Hmm. You look like you're breathing too."

Low back but sturdy thick body with interesting brown hair and beard.Green eyes shine on the big eyes, and the composition is big on the nose and mouth.

I'm Balan's boss.

It was very common for the people of the south, and I was not good at distinguishing between individuals, but it was impossible to mistake Balan.

In my chest, various emotions whirled - and as a result, I shouted, "Welcome!"As soon as she was finished, Oni-san frowned loudly.

"Don't suddenly make a big stupid noise.What are you doing with that? "

"Because I was looking forward to this day... and I'm so happy to be able to see you again safely."

I must have put my inner joy into my face.Looking at him, he snorted and smiled bitterly.

"When I arrived at the inn, I was told of your disaster.In that sense, it's half the fun. "

"Hahaha. When Astas told me they were doing fine, he was relieved."

From the side, Ardas of the sub-building beam peeked into it as well.

The big smile remained the same as it was five months ago.

"Ah, Ardas seems to be doing well, thank you very much. Everyone else..."

"All seven of you are doing well.I have to split up and buy food, so I have to line up with other stalls. "

"Well, thank you for the next two months."

Oh, this way.

There was a line in the back, so I could only exchange greetings on the spot.

Until this peak comes to a close, you can't wait to see how the blue sky cafeteria looks.Whether the peak is over first or the boys finish eating first, I've become quite agitated - by about half an hour, all seven of them came from behind the stall.

"Aster, they want me to talk to them for a minute."

It was Balsha who went down to town to escort the boys.Since the southern royals visited, the Lou family had been accompanied by escorts as a precaution, but the rest period had finally ended, so Balsha and Lyada Lou were playing that role today.

"Hey, Aster. Nice to meet you."

"You look fine, above all. Give my family thanks to the asters."

Other architects greeted me like that with a smile.

Among them comes Maiton, who smiles brightly.

"The Lou family will invite you to dinner again today.Will Astas come too? "

"Yes, I asked Donda-Lou to allow me to be with you."

"He's the best. There are so many stories I intend to talk about."

Then he pushed Maiton out.

"There's only one thing I want to ask you right now.... did she make it back to the sanctuary? "

"Ah, yes. Something went wrong, but I was able to get back safely.... and then we were invited to the sanctuary. "

As soon as I answered that question, I was surprised.

Maiton pushes him back and looks at me.

"Ah, Astas are in the sanctuary?You said you should never step into the sanctuary, right? "

"Yes, according to the sanctuary people, we were allowed to enter specially."

They only heard the story of "Returning Tia to the Sanctuary" and left Genos.It must have been unexpected that they would invite us to the sanctuary.

"Well, that's all right, because this is how I keep breathing.... but afterwards, it seems that the evil was done to the cult. "

I'll nod "yes" to Oni-san's heavy voice.

"That was the red moon, wasn't it?Has that come to you? "

"Because of the noise, there were soldiers in the border area of Jagal.Well, after a while, I didn't get anything. "

That said, he slowly followed me.

"Well, I don't think there's anything wrong with you guys... but you guys seem to get into a lot of trouble."

"Yes, I'm still in quite a whirlpool right now."

"... you mean the Jaguar royals?"

And Ooi-san frowned again in a mood.

"I've heard a bit from the people in the inn.It seems to me that you and Ardas should be invited to the castle town to join a tasting party. "

"Yes, the tasting is tomorrow evening.I'm sorry for the inconvenience. "

"Hmm? Why do you have to apologize?"

"Yes, actually... it seems that the people around the woods have attracted the interest of the royals."

When I explained the situation, Ardas laughed cheerfully.

So the next time we meet for a tasting, will the people near the forest prepare the dishes?It's worth it. "

"What's useful?Isn't it the same thing to complain to the person who made it, such as cooking in order? "

Oni-san became the top of the Buddha more and more, so I had to calm it down.

"My taste comparison ritual doesn't really suit my hobbies.But it doesn't matter who gets the medal.I will do my best for everyone who eats it, so please enjoy the taste of the dishes without worrying about them. "

"Hmm. I'd like to tell you to get lost if you're not royal... but you're really struggling."

"Yes, but I'm delighted to have you cooking."

Oni-san carved deeper wrinkles between his eyebrows.

"... so? What are you looking so loose for?"

"Oh, I'm sorry. I thought it would be rusty to see the top of your Buddha."

Ardas laughed a lot, and he smiled bitterly.

"Well, let's talk about the rest at night.Encouraging your work at best. "

"Ah, are you leaving already?"

"This is also a business meeting.We didn't come to Genos to play. "

Leaving those words, the boys left.

As I chew on the aftertaste of reunion, the other memes laugh.

"Asta is really deepening her ties with these people.Because Asta looks happy, I'm feeling happy too. "

"Yeah, well, you don't even know the guys, do you?You were at Easter and a farewell feast. "

"Yes, of course. But after all, it can't be Asta.... not just Asta, but the people over there seemed very happy. "

It is a bit embarrassing to be seen through your mood like this.

But after all, I was able to feel more joy than that.

◇

Since that day was the third business day, the study group was my personal training day.

However, since a tasting party by Kamado Nun near the forest was approaching two days later, I decided to devote time to the meeting.Raina Lou and the others also needed to be consulted, and since they were to be invited to dinner in the evening, the place was to be between Lou's main house.

Well, I don't think that's a problem with dedication.The conditions for using Geld's ingredients were a hassle, but I don't think it would give the impression that it's all about similar dedication. "

When I ended like that, the others nodded to agree.

Among them, Ray-Matua, who is always alive, waves a smile.

"I feel like I'm deciding on a feast!I want to come to the tasting with this comfort! "

"Yes, let's do our best to please everyone in the venue with our cooking."

Ray-Matua and Yun-Sudra no longer seemed to be shy.Reina Lou has been motivated from the beginning, and Tour-din and Limi Lou are immune at the tea party.Mime and others seemed to be in a mood where I had to do what I could at my own pace - and in a sense, it might have been Marfila-Naham who was the most unusual.

"So, but this is the first time I've cooked for more than 100 people alone with a helper.Hee, don't worry if you can really do such a job... "

"If it's Marfila-Naham, it's fine.Because you're twice as strong and concentrated. "

"That's right! Even the cooking is done by the woods!"

The meeting, named the study group, ended successfully, and Lou's bloodless family returned home in a van.

The rest of us are ready for dinner.Of course I was forgiven by Donda-Lou for helping me with that.Today's shift is Reina Lou and Limi Lou in the course of the study group.

"It's Ooi-san, Ardas, and Maiton who invite you to the Lou family, right?And then me and Ey-Fa, and Rudy Lou's still breastfeeding... dinner for 16 people. Oh, my God. "

"Ahahah, Limi and I are used to it!"

Limi Lou laughs innocently and chops vegetables happily.

And across the way, Reina Lou was breathing small.

"What's going on? Reina Lou has a face that doesn't float.Do you have anything to worry about? "

"Ah, no, it's not that worrying... can I have a word with you?"

"Of course, I'll ask you anything you want."

After a short tour, Reina Lou began to speak in an unexpected manner.

"Actually, it's about a tasting party... but it seems that everyone else has decided not to pay attention to the results of taste comparison."

"Yeah, because we don't care about the taste comparison."

"I guess so...If it's the people around the woods, it's what it should be. "

That said, Reina Lou sighed again.

"But, I... I'm so careful.If you think you can't collect big stars anyway... it kind of makes your heart heavier. "

"Yeah? Raina Lou, it's your turn to finger fold around the woods.Why are you so worried? "

"Because, obviously, Mime and Murphyra-Naham are just about as good as Asta... and Rimi and Tour-Din can make wonderful sweets... and Yun-Sudra and Ray-Matua are going to serve the dishes that Asta taught you, right?If that's the case, then I think I'm at the bottom... "

Limi Lou leaned her neck with a neat face.

"But the innkeepers were such a delicious dish!I thought "Tanto's Grace Pavilion" was delicious even though I didn't use gibberish meat!If anyone thinks it's delicious, how long has it been? "

"Yeah. Actually, the problem is, I think we're pretty much side-by-side in cooking.The rest will depend on the preferences of the people conducting the screening, so I don't suppose you have to worry about the ranking. "

"So... is Astor getting ready to be the lowest?"

"Yeah. Whatever it is at the bottom, I've come to the conclusion that I don't care about the ranking."

"Really... I can't hold up my readiness.If I were to be at the bottom of the line... it would crush the faces of the Liheims who took me... and I would be caught up in those thoughts. "

Those words finally convinced me.

"I see. If Raina Lou is at the bottom, Lee Heim will most likely regret it.If Tur-Din is at the bottom, Odifia will be stunned... but I don't think we'll have to worry about it.No matter how much Reina Lou is, Lee Heim and the others know that Reina Lou is a great cook. "

"That's right! I'm proud to win with power, but losing doesn't shame you, does it?"

And Limi Lou laughed at her sister's sinking face.

"Besides, the taste comparison is good, right?Compared to the power of Yoyo, hunters don't want to regret it too much! "

"Yes, what's important is that we meet for a tasting, including a taste comparison, and we don't know what to grab.The chefs in the castle town had quite a few things to gain.I wonder if Raina Lou had anything to gain from previous tastings. "

"Yes... that's true, but..."

"Now then, it's our turn to give back.I think we should do everything we can to feed the people in the castle town and the workplace town. "

Reina Lou nodded "yes" after a moment of silence.

"I'm really sorry that I've lined up all these uncomfortable words.I will do my best regardless of the immediate results. "

"No, I think Reina Lou is serious and kind, so I think she'll be able to take care of Reehem and the others who appreciate her."

"No... that's an unforgettable sincerity... but perhaps I'll feel sorry for myself if I lose in a match... even if I don't have Lee Heim and the others."

Reyna-Lou blushed and jerked her face.

"I'm sure I hate losing my heart.As long as you're really embarrassed. "

"No, I hate losing, too.That's why the taste comparison doesn't suit me.And I'm telling myself not to stick to the results. "

That said, I laughed at Raina Lou too.

"It's just that I'm in a handy position with everybody.Whoever gets the medal, I'm as happy as I am.There must be less hardship there than Raina Lou. "

"Really... if I lose to someone I've been tame with, I'm going to feel so sorry for myself..."

"Ahahah, Reina sister, well done!"

Reina Lou made her face even more red and said, "Already!"He shook his hand. But of course, I didn't slap my cute sister, and I quickly resumed cooking.

After all, this kind of anguish may arise if the taste comparison is carried out only by the kamado number around the forest.Yun-Sudra and Ray-Matua initially had a lot of trouble.

But after the tasting the other day, I was able to get a completely flat mood.

As I just said, what matters is what we get at this tasting.What do people from different perspectives think when they talk about the food around the forest?Knowing that was probably the most meaningful thing for us.
