1071 Preface ~ Warm Supper ~

Three days after the welcoming feast that brought the royals to the forest, it was the twelfth day of the green month.

And it came to pass on that day, that the house of Pharaoh, and the house of his near family, were called unto the house of the builders of Jagal.

The facades of the architect were invited to the forest on the first night when he came to Genos, but since it was led by the Ruu family, he was invited to the Pharaoh's house and his nearby family's house.

The people from my family who helped me with my stall were at Nokinomi's farewell party last year, and after that, the Easter Festival was quite close to the architect's faces.These events came to fruition because these people offered to bring us closer together.

The venue was chosen by seven clans: Faz, Gaz, Matua, Ratz, Auro, Baim, and Dagora. An attempt was made to invite two or three architects from each of those houses.With regard to the family members who were not selected this time, the conversation settled down by having fun again at a later date.

Of course, I invite you to Fa's house: Good night, Ardath and Maiton.

In this case, it was usual to borrow the Kamado number from a nearby family and have dinner together - this time, new ingenuity was added to it.Instead of inviting a nearby clan, we decided to invite a family of Swarti blood.

The story was born of a feast three days ago.Dalí-Sauthi, who was present at the scene, asked if it was time for him to stay at Fa's house again.

The Souti bloodline is exploring whether a new hunting technique can be established by working with Ei = Fa and Giba hunting together.However, since it was inconvenient to stay for too long, it was arranged to free up a few days after a few days of stay, but since the royal family came to Genos during the previous period of stay, it has been put on hold since then.

"It looks like those guys are still going to be in Genos for a while."If it seems to be the burden of Fa's house, I will cut it up right away, so can you give me your approval for now? "

And it came to pass, at the feast of the house of Ruu, that Dari-sauthi offered, and Ai-fa took it upon herself.

In that case, I asked if I could invite some of the architects to stay for the duration of the stay.Anyway, Sudra and Din's house will invite the architect's faces on the next occasion, so it was up to them to contact the thinly connected Souti people.

It is the day after such various events.

Together with the three women who came from Souti, I decided to create the dinner of the day.

“It's an honor to be with you on such a day!... but aren't we lacking in strength to prepare a dinner for our guests? "

After finishing the business of the stall, the last sister of the Souti family was the one who said so during the time of the house of Fa.She was a young and adorable daughter who was also attending Dalí-Saudi's feast the other day.

"That's not true." Even you guys are good at making ends meet.Moreover, I can teach you how to make new dishes, so it's two birds in one stone. "

"Asta is often summoned to the castle town, and it is a very difficult time, but it is a difficult time.... but I'm so happy to be able to spend another day at Fa's! "

The other two - Dada's eldest sister and Dawn's youngest sister, who was 13 years old - laughed and gave consent.It was yesterday morning that they arrived, and even though they had been acting together for most of the day, they still seemed to be in a state of joy.

"It's been a month since we last stayed."So it's been so long since the Jagal royals arrived? ”

"Yes, today is the 12th of the green month - I think it will be just one month in four days."

On the sixteenth day of the yellow month, the Jagal mission came to Genos with Chiffon-Cher and the royals, who finished the baptism of the Southern God with large quantities of ingredients.

The day after, I saw the royals.His Highness the Dakarmas and Princess Del Share attended a searches in the castle town and asked to prepare lunch on the spot.

Five days later, we were to work on our first tasting.The four selected were the same face as at the last dinner - me and Diamond, Vulcus, and Bozu.It was handed over to them to prepare dishes and sweets using ingredients from the southern capital, with the addition of Tour-din and Rimi-Lou.

The next day was my birthday, and the next day I was going to invite Princess Dell Share to the Fa family dinner.

Two days later, the innkeepers in the station town held a tasting party.

Three days later, a tasting party was held by the chef of the castle town, and two days later, a tasting party was held by the kamado number on the edge of the forest.

Two days later, it was again a sightseeing party in the castle town. Two days later, Timaro and Jan were touched by a group of innkeepers, and two days later, at a feast on the edge of the forest, we had a really busy day.

And the busy days weren't over yet.

The day after tomorrow, it was decided to hold a tasting of sweets by people who had performed well at previous tastings, and two days after that, a tasting of cuisine would be held.

Curiously, the date of the last tasting was the 16th day of the Green Moon, the first month since the royals came to Genos.

With so much ferocity in just one month, the vitality of the royals would be difficult to put into words.

"But thanks to that, we were able to deepen our interactions with a variety of people, and we were able to learn how to cook castle food."I think it was a really meaningful month. "

"Yes, the women who were involved in the tasting said so with their mouths closed.It's hard for me to imagine being invited to a castle town after a few days..... "

"So we don't have any trouble, we can learn new technologies from Asta, so it's a bit difficult after all."

It was Dawn's youngest sister who still had a childish face.

"That's not true," I laugh at you.

"My primary purpose is to get everyone around the forest to eat delicious food."Don't say it's hard, but polish your skills for the families who wait in the village. ”

Dawn's youngest sister immediately smiled and said, "Yes!”he exclaimed cheerfully.She is a bright and clear Souti bloodline, too.

As the sun tilted, Ai-Fa and the others who were out in the woods returned.

As sunset drew closer, men gathered from clans all over the place.Since the facades of the architects come to the facade's house in their own wagons, they guide them to their own houses.

Hey! You're so late!

Thus came the faces of the architects, when the sun almost sank to the ends of the west, and the twilight score began to wrap around the nightfall.There you are, working from morning till evening.

"Oh, the Fa's house is also splendidly built!"The wood is burning in the sun, and it's starting to feel good. "

The faces of the builders assembled at the Fa's house surrounded the main house of the Fa's house in a frenzy.Needless to say, they were the ones who rebuilt the House of Fa that collapsed in the Turn of Amthorne.

"Well, don't make a fuss and let me show you to each house right away."Because everyone in my family is hungry and waiting for me. "

At the behest of Ardath, people get into the wagon again.On the way back, I had to gather at Dagora's house in the far south and return to the [Southern Great Tree Pavilion] under the protection of your hunter.

"Oh my God, he's always floating around."... well, that's the same for us, too. "

And Maiton laughs at me and Ei = Fa.

"I'll take care of you today, Asta."Um, are you from the Sauti clan? "

"Hmm. I've been given an Easter greeting."One of the three patriarchs of Souti, Dali Souti. "

Dalí-Saudi pointed toward the main house in the dim light, smiling at the falconry.

"But such a greeting should be given after the waist has settled down....... except for Ei = Fa, it was incompatible with me to say that. "

"It's not necessary for a chief to come to that end."

Ei = Fa responded in that way with a gentle face.Since this was the third time that Dali-Sauthi and the others had stayed, the familiar Ai-Fa should have been much more disconnected from the family of Sauthi.

That's why the boys head to the main house with Eifa's guide, and we'll bring in the food that was kept warm for a long time.

Today, there are three architects and six Souti blood family members, and the total number of guests is nine.It has become more and more unusual to invite such guests, and it was the house of Fa these days.

Me and Ei = Fa take the upper seats, face to face with the builders, and left and right with the Souti bloodline.While Ei = Fa introduced the identity of these people, the black cat sachi, rounded in the corner of the hall, was yawning with a strange face.

"Well then, I think we should start the dinner."There are a lot of guests, but we don't need to give a nice greeting now.I want you to enjoy the peace of mind while savoring the hard work of the Kamado people. "

Thus, the dinner began with the pre-dinner wording.

Vera's young patriarch and Dawn's eldest brother look around at the rug cooking with their eyes shining.

"Today is a fine dinner!"It's like you've been cooking like you've never seen it before! ”

Dawn's eldest brother, a laid-back man, was exhilarated.Maiton shouted "hehe" at the figure.

"This is the first time even people around the forest have seen this dish."Did you prepare such a rare dish? "

"Yes, I tried to use a lot of ingredients from the southern capital."Your dish was served at a tasting party. ”

The food served at the tasting meeting is raw spring rolls.There was no Vermes today, so the main thing was the rose meat of Giba, which had been rinsed in water, and the meat dandelion, which had been pickled in malomalo chitin and finished spicy.

The main dish is a thickly sliced loin steak with a gravy sauce that resembles a wasabi.

The staple food is not garlic rice, it's Myamoo Shaska.Dude, I don't think I'll get a chance to eat shasca, so I wanted to give it priority when I invited you to the forest.

The soup dish is a cream stew made with plenty of meles similar to corn, and the side dishes are fresh vegetable salad made with ma tino and pellets, deep-fried dumplings of Jorah, and cream stewed noodles similar to sweet potatoes.If two kinds of raw spring rolls were added to it, it would be a really grand lineup.

"Oh! This meat is another extraordinary delicacy!"

First of all, Ardath, who was on the loin steak, said so in a muffled voice.

"Surprisingly, I don't have a lot of opportunities to mouth this kind of gizzard meat that I just roasted!"If you eat this way, you will be reminded of the deliciousness of Giba meat! "

"Haha, some of the people of the south who took the first gibberish dislike this strong flavor."If you do that, you'll have to refine your workmanship in the stall business after all. "

Maiton slaps lightly, and he gazes at you.When I first met him, he disliked the softness of the "Giba Burger" patties and the flavor of the "Giba" meat, so I decided to devise "Miyamo-yaki" as well.

"But I'm sure that he will be very involved in his assumptions."If rumors were to circulate that Giba is not a decent human food, you might perceive the intensity of the flavor in a bad way. "

Ardath laughed and said that and turned towards me.

"For example, the whole roast of Giba served at Easter."You don't want to complain about that, do you?If you know this much about the deliciousness of Giba meat, there will be no one who hates the flavor of Giba meat due to strange assumptions. "

"...... I'm sorry I had such a funny feeling."

"No, I'm not cheating on you."I don't know about Maiton, though. "

"I just missed it!"

Maiton and Ardath laughed loudly, and hey, you're more and more at the top of the Buddha.I'm sorry to bother you, but I feel like I'm smiling at a scene like this.

”... but this gibberish feels different than usual”

Oops, when Maiton snorts like that, Maiton says, "Yeah?”He tilted his head.

"What's wrong with being different?"That's not a familiar flavor, but isn't this the new ingredient of the rumor? "

“Yes, you use a vanilla called Bona, which was delivered from the Southern King's City.”

"It's not about seasoning, it's about the taste of the meat itself.I don't think it's just roasted meat... are you using something special? "

I answered "no" happily inside.

"Actually, this Giba meat uses meat pickled in vinegar."It's a ceremony that I learned from the people in the castle town. "

"Vinegar pickling? Hmm. When I marinate it in vinegar, it seems sour and irresistible, but that's not the case."

"Yes, when the vinegar is washed away, it doesn't leave any acidity."Instead, it has the effect of tightening the taste and softening the flesh. ”

While explaining like that, I made him laugh.

"I don't think you will have much chance to talk about the meat of Giba, but I think it's amazing to notice such a difference right away.Hey, isn't it because your tongue is sharp that you hate the unfamiliar flavor of Giba meat?

"That's awkward," he said, frowning.Yo, like Ai-Fa, you're not good at being praised by others.

With that in mind, Maiton took up another plate and shouted out a cheerful voice again.

"So this is the dish that Jagal's prince was awarded with a medal!"... yes, this is delicious! It's delicious, and it's fun to eat! "

"It's a skin made of Shaska."It was a totally strange way of making it, and I was surprised. ”

And, the younger sister of the Souti sub-family did not appear to be torturing her, so she called out to Maiton.There were supposed to be many people here who had never met before, but the air was so calm that it seemed unlikely to be formed from the beginning.

"Hmm. Even at the tasting, it seemed like a fine dish... but it's still the best thing to eat at home."

Oops, Ardath agreed that it was "not the same" when he said it like that in a refreshed manner.

"Every dish served that day was done without complaints, but I only eat one bite at a time, and besides, I'm a stand-up boy."Somehow, I didn't feel like having dinner. "

“Hmm. It's just a place to check the taste of the food, not the place to fill your belly.”

Dali-Saudi responded like that, and Ardath looked back at you with a smile.

"Were you there that day, too?"I feel like some people couldn't say hello because they were moving around. "

"No. I only accompanied the first tasting."If I had the chance, I'd like to come again. "

"Huh. But the huntsmen can't even eat there, can they?"

“Hmm. But I think it would be meaningful for us to be able to talk to different people.”

"I see," said Maiton.

"You haven't seen me for two more tastings, have you?"It's a lot of work for Asta and the others! "

“No, I only prepare one of them, so it's easy.I'm still thinking about what to do... but I'll do my best to please you and Ardath as well. "

"Don't worry about us."Please do your best to be awarded a medal for comparing flavors.I know Asta's not interested in that, but it's something we're proud of. "

It must be true. It seems that the medal has a tremendous effect in the Southern King's City.

That's what Ardath and Maiton used to say, but it doesn't mean that the medals weigh so heavily on each other.He smiled innocently.

I don't really understand the flavor comparison, though.

And the young parent of Vera also shouted.

In other words, is it like a hunter on the edge of the forest taking part in a town tournament?

"Hmm, what do you think? Well, in the sense of competing for arms according to the customs of the town, maybe it's the same thing.”

I see. There are many parts of town that are not familiar to us after all.

In the words of Vera's patriarch, Dali-Sauthi said, "Huh?”he turns to his eyes.

"Until now, I haven't had a chance to take things like flavor matching, but aren't you happy about that aftermath?"

"It's a surprise, so I don't think we need to put more weight on it."However, I am grateful that my family does not have to assume that role. "

“Why is that?”

Dali-Sauthi reveals a certain curiosity.Vella's patriarch looked like she was alive, and she was in opposition to her.

"With the Hunter's power and the town tournament, it won't be difficult to win or lose."Different kinds of arrangements will win.But are there strong or weak culinary skills?If you compete for it, you should make and eat the same dish... and yet, it doesn't seem obvious that all humans would recognize the same dish as good. ”

"Hmm. So you don't think you want your family to do the job?"

"Hmm. No matter how good a dish you make, will you win or lose?"That's why you're considered a loser, isn't it? "

Having said that, Vella's patriarch turned his gaze to Ei = Fa.

"Ei = Fa, don't you think so?"It seems that Asta has won so far, but isn't that not necessarily the case next time? "

"Hmm. At first, I felt bitter."However, I am the one who knows Asta's arm best, no matter how he decides.Then I realized that there was no need to disturb the results of my spare time. "

"I see. Ei = Fa is a fine patriarch after all."If I had been in Ai = Fa's shoes, I would have needed a lot of time to think about it. "

“You're sweet on your mate,” said Dawn's eldest brother, and Vera's patriarch blushed instantly.

"Ah, it's sweet, but it's not that sweet!"If you and the maiden who should be your companion are given such a role, will you not be silent? "

"Well, I don't know." I'm satisfied with it if I think it's delicious, so let's keep worrying about it. "

Kataya is the parent and Kataya's eldest brother, but the latter is older.Also, regardless of age, the eldest brothers of Dawn were only a few.

"After all, there are people who think differently around the forest."I feel like I know how you feel. "

And Maiton smiled and arbitrated.

"Surely it's strange that you take turns ordering the dishes, as you said."For example, at this dinner today, each person is not sure which dish suits their tastes best.Compared to that, it seems more rude. "

"Well, well, that's what I wanted to say."

"Well, isn't that a surprise based on that?"It would be an honor to receive a medal, and even if you don't, you don't have to worry about it. "

Having said that, Maiton turned his moody expression toward Eifa.

"I = Fa would be proud if Asta were awarded a medal, right?"Then I'm sure it's not all a bad story. "

Ei = Fa opened his eyes wide as he was poked into the void, and looked toward the shelf that sat in the corner of the hall.Two medals from His Royal Highness the Dakarmas were secretly decorated there.

"Yes... I'm proud that Asta was awarded first place."

"You know what? I'm so proud of you, too."I'm proud to have won if I win, and I don't have to worry about losing if I lose.Then I guess I can say I did the best I could. "

"I agree with that, too."I think it's just fun because I'm in the middle of something. "

Dawn's eldest brother also laughed and held up a bottle of fruit wine in his hand.This is the fruit wine that the owners brought me as a souvenir.Maiton lifted the wooden plate filled with the same fruit wine and drank its contents as if to make a toast.

"... I don't think you're wrong either."Some people felt that cooking at the tasting was the most important part of the tasting. ”

Dali-Sauthi called out to Vera's patriarch with a relaxed smile.Vera's parents, who occasionally show childish faces, say "hah," and turn their mouths into characters.

"Anyway, the tasting was set to be two more times."I know this is hard work, but you want me to do my part in the way I think is best for you, Asta. "

"Yes, I'll do my best....... Oh, please look forward to it."

The man who was chewing Jorah's fried roast swallowed it and then snorted, "Hmm."

"Didn't Ardath tell you not to worry about us?"We've been able to prepare such a splendid dinner, so that's enough. ”

Yeah. If I meet him for a tasting and he serves me something too good, I won't be able to eat it with my stomach full.

"Hah, you're saying something extravagant."Make the Ardathians regret it at best, Asta. "

Maiton said cheerfully, and the ladies who were eating well laughed.It seems that the air, which was originally soothing, becomes more soothing with each passing of time.

Ai = Fa was still silent, but her expression was soft.

It was a very warm evening, where I could relax and deepen my friendship with the carefree.

After this day's dinner, I was finally able to grasp the image of the food served at the tasting.
