Thus, the sixth moment of descent - just when the sun is gone in the outside world - is finally the time limit for voting.
We were spending quite a bit of time in front of the noblemen, and it felt like we were going to have that time in no time today.
It takes about half a minute from here to the release of the results, so it's a whole free time for people who don't have the right to vote.With more restlessness than usual, I decided to devote that time of day to greeting the nobles.
“Well done, Vermes. The tasting we've been having for a month is finally over.I didn't have any seafood dishes today, so I'm completely hungry, right? ”
I whispered into the ear of His Highness Dakarmas' maidservant and maiden.
While the hazel eyes mixed with green and brown shine incredibly brightly, Fermes also puts his poor lips under my ear like a maiden.
"I'm grateful to Asta for noticing me every time."... it looks like Asta's food was very popular. ”
“I see. Fortunately, a lot of compliments come from people.”
"I can't tell for sure if I can't say it, but I'm sure Asta will be honored for her efforts.I'll keep an eye on you. ”
Whenever I thanked the humble Vermes, I also greeted Refreire and the Leeheims.
As they march further, Robros and the Marquis of Genos will take their seats - and it's Princess Dell 'S share that awaits them.
"Thank you for your hard work, Asta-sama." I'm looking forward to seeing what happens. ”
With such a gentle tone, Princess Dershare clenched her mouth.
The smile on her face was as usual, but for her it was a pale response.Whether to back off like this or not, when I was a little nervous, Princess Dell Share tilted her head a little bit and then gestured.
"As a matter of fact, I'm worried that Rode will come because of one incident at noon."I'm going to be quiet today, so will Asta spend time with the person she likes without worrying about it? "
"Oh, is that so?" I understand. "
The incident at noon was, of course, about the mood that Princess Dell Share had towards me.If it was a deputy martial arts officer, I couldn't have been more worried.
That's why I'm going back to the hall where my brothers and sisters are waiting.Along the way, I thought I would tell Ai = Fa the secret story with Princess Dershea, but she said it was "unnecessary" first.
"Any voice like that, I can hear it."...... it was such a fantastic thing to say about him. "
"Yeah, I'm a little worried."
"...... I left you saying 'for today', so don't worry about it."
And Ei = Fa followed me with horizontal eyes.
I was worried about Princess Dershare, and I reflected that asking Ei = Fa for her consent was a statement without much delicacy.
"Ah, Asta, Ai = Fa!"You're back early today! "
Ray-Matua waved her hands from among the compatriots in the forest near the picture in the hall.She, Malfira-Naham and Naham's youngest sisters, and Ravitz's eldest siblings, were the only people in the queue to vote and to greet the nobles.Moreover, Marfila-Naham seems to be surrounded by the people of the station town and the castle town, and is being tortured.
“What exactly is going to happen!I have no idea! "
“Well, I guess it would be tough to choose a dish that's so different.”
"Yes! And there's not a single dish out of the ordinary!"Especially the Vulcan cuisine has been surprising me for a while! ”
"Ah, I thought so too!"Moreover, it was a dish of Giba meat, so it was even more surprising! "
And then Naham's youngest sister spoke up cheerfully.Both of them, who had similar atmospheres somewhere, seemed to be gradually deepening their rapport.
"I don't even want to taste the food of the town... but it looks like Vulcus has served a lot of food."No matter where you go, I think his story has been taken care of. "
Even Ravitz's eldest brother, who had his fallen warrior's hair neatly put together, said so.After all, Vulcan cuisine had a tremendous impact.
(If I were a judge, what would happen?After all, I was voting for Vulcus.)
If you think like that, your chest will unpleasantly become noisy.This was also an unrelated source of tension and concern at previous tastings.To take the first place at today's tasting, we must collect more votes than the extraordinary cuisine of Vulcas.
While I was alone, the people who had finished voting joined me.Rimi = Lou hangs in Ai = Fa's arms, and Lara = Lou laughs at me.
"If you vote, you can sneak up on me now, right?"I let you into Asta. "
"Oh, really? Lara-Lou didn't like Hamburg that much, did he?"
"Look, I'm talking about which one do you like more than Suki?"Besides, I love him, Shasca, and cheese. "
Having said that, Lara-Lou spilled white teeth on her cheeks.What a reliable smile.
After a while, Dalí-Sauthi and Reina-Ru returned to say hello, and they noticed that their compatriots around Moriwabe were also swarming.However, since the people of the station town and the castle town enthusiastically spoke, the place was overflowing with people of various identities.
And the time went by - finally, the bell rang.
"Thank you for your patience."We have finished counting the stars and will announce the results. ”
His Highness Dakarmas is laughing at the surname that tells him so.
I was going to listen to the words as my chest roared.
"Today, 106 people participated in the taste comparison.As before, people from 1st to 3rd place will be awarded medals, so please think like that. "
Having said that, Xiao Ming turned a blind eye to the paper.
His mouth was about to announce the name of the man who had finally won the first place - His Highness Dakarmas raised his torso.
“Before I do that, I'll just say hello!”
This was always an inconsistent behavior, so the Great Hall was wrapped in small vibes.
I feel like I've been hung by my feet.
"This is the last tasting ever to be held in Genos... I've been impressed six times in a row!"I've hosted tastings for a long time now, but I've never had so many cheerful tastings in a row!Thanks again to Genos' wonderful cooks!Once again, I would like to repeat my thanks! "
His Highness Dakarmas said so in a more energetic voice than usual.
“And today is our final tasting!The nine people who prepared the food today have all been awarded medals at past tastings, so their abilities are impeccable!No matter what ranking you end up in today, there is no doubt that all nine of you are the best cooks in Genos!I would like to express my deep gratitude and admiration to all the nine people who have worked so hard for this wonderful day! ”
People clapped in response to the words of His Highness Dakarmas, hiding their impatient faces.
Or am I just laying my emotions on people?Feeling that it was difficult to get the consideration of His Highness Dakarmas, I was almost impatient.
(But sure enough, even though it was such a wonderful dish, someone would be at the bottom....... If I were the lowest, the consideration of His Highness Dakarmas would be even more echoed in my heart)
While I was thinking like that, His Highness Dakarmas nodded to his niece.
“Now, let's announce today's results!”
"Ok, I'll see you around."The first place today-- "
Both the applause and the whispering disappeared like they were cut off, and the great hall was filled with silence.
His voice echoed solemnly in the stillness of his ears.
"... you've earned 17 stars, Asta-sama"
I forgot to breathe instantly.
Then, I was slapped all over my body with incredible cheers and applause.
Yun-Sudra and Rei-Matua, who were nearby, said, "Congratulations!”he laughed.
Lara = Lou clapped her hands in satisfaction, and Rimi = Lou said, "Wow!"I was jumping.
Reina = Lou applauded as if she was biting the senses, Marfila = Naham was laughing, and Toole = Din was completely tearful - all the people I saw offered their sincere blessings.
And Ei = Fa...
Ei = Fa was also clapping her hands, smiling lightly.
Those blue eyes are glowing with a very gentle and happy light.
Having firmly burned the gaze into my heart, I went with Fei-Beim towards His Highness Dakarmas.
Along the way, the applause and cheers of Thunderclap are pouring down.
She turned to Faye-Behm, who walked with her as she skipped her soul to the momentum - she was sobbing as she frowned.
"... thanks to Faye-Behm."Let's share in the joy, as promised. ”
Faye-Baim stared at me with tears in her cloudy eyes, then wiped her tears roughly with a woven fabric.
Along with Faye-Behm, I stand before His Highness Dakarmas.
"Congratulations! You've achieved the Triple Crown!"
His Highness the Dakarmas awarded me a yellow medal with his fingertips.
His Highness Dakarmas also laughed with joy.
His Highness Dakarmas was innocent at all times, but even if he did, it didn't seem like he was smiling clearly.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please be quiet! We are proud to announce that you are number two!"
The maiden raised her voice and calmed down the whirling cheers and applause in the hall.
"The second place is taken by Vulcus, who won 16 stars."
A new cheer swayed the Great Hall.
After all, the second place was Vulcus.Besides, it's only one vote away from me.Moreover, given that the total number of votes was 106, the votes were quite dispersed.
Vulcus, accompanied by Siri = Rowe, stepped forward in a somewhat wobbly fashion.I'm not in any way shocked by this outcome, but I think we're approaching the limit of human enthusiasm.
Siri = Rowe was tightening her expression.There was no feeling of regret, no feeling of happiness -- she seemed to be accepting this result with carelessness.
Vulcus, who was awarded the Red Medal, lined up next to me in almost staggering steps.
When I asked, “Are you okay?”, she replied, “No, not really.”
"When Mr. Nail and Mr. Zeeze are here, you will miss the opportunity to leave the room.After that, I had to deal with the royals for about half a minute.... I'm sorry, but could you give me some strength so I can finish without opening my mouth? "
After all, Vulcus was Vulcus.
I can fully calm my heart and say, "I understand."
There, the words of the maiden were repeated.
Then, the third place will be taken by the [Southern Daiki Pavilion], who has won 13 stars.
Until now, there was a burst of colorless cheering.
But this time, perhaps there was also a mix of bewilderment and surprise.Nawdis took the seat, not the cook of the castle town or the kamado on the edge of the forest.
(But sure enough, that horn boil did a great job.)
Today's cuisine was a strange feat, no matter who was awarded the medal.It also means that it is not surprising that no one has been awarded a medal.
As a result, by the time Nawdis stepped forward to His Highness Dakarmas, the signs of confusion had disappeared.I was also able to congratulate Nawdis with a heartfelt applause.
No, no, it feels like you're dreaming.
Nawdis, who was lining up with us, laughed as if he hadn't really felt it yet and said that.
"The medal must be awarded at least."I will continue to announce the ranking... would you be able to bring people below the fourth place forward this time? "
Having said that, the son-in-law read out the order of the documents.
The fourth place was taken by Reina-Ru, who won 12 stars.
The fifth place was taken by Malfira-Naham and Timaro, who won eleven stars.
Sixth place, Bozuzu, with ten stars.
The seventh place was the [Tail Pavilion of the Kimus], which received nine stars.
The eighth place was the [Xuanwong Pavilion], which received seven stars.
That was the result of today, and those people were to be awarded a necklace that could not be decorated with a medal.A sparkling little yellow stone, a silver chain necklace.
"Now, let me tell you a general review!"Today's vote was also a big close call!If the star thrower had changed his face on his own, these ranks might have been lost too!In that sense, let's just say that every dish was equally wonderful! ”
His Highness Dakarmas began to speak out loud and unbeatable in the great hall.
"First of all, Asta-sama, number one, and Vulcus-sama, number two... how they felt about their dishes was extremely polar!"From the perspective of a meal that seems preferable, Master Asta!From the point of view of an amazing finish, Lord Vulcus!We've got a lot of words for each of you!It seems that many of the castle's cooks were the first to speak of the swordfish, and although it was said that Lord Asta's cooking was worth marveling at, it was still clear before Lord Vulcas' more mysterious dishes!As for Asta-sama's food, it's just delicious, not a confusing story!I think the words were overwhelming! ”
That was the best thing that ever happened to me.
Vulcus has a murky face, and his upper body is shaking with reliance.Siri = Rowe, who was holding it behind him, seemed uncomfortable about when Vulcus would fall.
"Also, I feel exactly the same as all of you!"I can't eat my Sims' herbs, but Lord Asta's dishes were delicious!It was just so delicious that I didn't even want to say something about it!I think that cooking is something that is refined by the end of unbelievable training and research, but I think that's what it is for, just to satisfy my stomach with a happy mood!Eating is a must do for human beings to live!Then it must be done with a happy feeling!I feel like I've been reminded of such a natural thing in the deepest part of my heart... I feel that way! "
Having said that, His Highness Dakarmas laughed at me with a smile.
I'm sorry, but I'm still sincerely grateful for this, but I'll bow my head.
His Highness Dakarmas nodded one by one, and began to talk about things in the usual way.
It seems that Nawdis' culinary style and incorporation of my teachings into the castle town at the same time in less than ten days surprised the people involved in the cooking.It was said that one point would determine the destination of the medal.
The cuisine of Reina-Lou was well received by those who knew and those who did not know.In the meantime, there is no opinion that it is unfinished, so it seems that it has become this ranking.Rather, the people who heard this was unfinished seemed even more astonished.
Marfila-Naham's cuisine was also popular among people of all identities.The same was true for me and Reina-Lou, but it seemed that neither the vanilla-based dishes nor the Jagal people disliked them.However, it was said that the finish itself was a very simple simmered dish, but it might have been slightly different from the top three, excluding Nawdis.
Timaro's cuisine is said to be one of the finished craftsmanships that has been nurtured in Genos, and it has come from the aristocrats and chefs of the castle town.It seems that the truly completed form is Vulcus, but there are some mutated factors that no one can imitate, so Timaro was considered the fruit of authentic evolution.
After all, Bozuzu was appreciated for its rusticity, which seemed to be honest and delicious to everyone, and the elaboration and delicacy that hid behind it.In other words, it was an impression of Asta's cooking, and because there were many aspects to compare with it, it probably lost some stars.
The [Kimusu's Tail Pavilion] was also completely free of complaints.However, there have been several voices saying that the last ramen made with maroons pickled in chitsuku may have been more delicious.Perhaps one of those factors would cause the ranking to drop sharply, as the food around him was a wonderful feat for Nokinomi.
Even the [Xuanwong Pavilion] was rated "too spicy" by some people in the south, and it never seemed to be disapproved.However, compared to other dishes, it seemed to be a weak impression in terms of novelty and surprise.
However, while the [Xuanwong Pavilion] was at the bottom, the votes of the people in the east were the highest.Perhaps that was the best result for a nail that was cooking for its eastern customers.
“As I said at the beginning, those of you who have prepared the food for us today are the best in Genos!I hope that you will continue to work on the delicious cooking and give many people the joy of delicious dishes! ”
With these words, His Highness's general review of Dakarmas was brought to a close.
The three recipients of the medal, along with His Highness Dakarmas, are invited to the noble seats.Vulcus was uneasy about his health, so Cirie-Rowe got permission to accompany him, and Ei-Fa joined me.
"Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for your hard work!"The words I wanted to tell you are like the words I just told you, but please stay with me for half a minute! "
After that, His Highness Dakarmas set his sights on me.
"By the way... there's something I wanted to tell you first!"Do you mind, Marquis Genos? "
"Yes, then we will have the Patriarch Dalí-Sauthi join us again today."Besides, I think we should tell Tuul-Din about it. "
One of the maidens moved quickly and brought Dalí-Sauthi and Tuul-Din out of nowhere.
“If you just called me in, would you ask Asta to do some work for you again?”
“That's right, that's right!Actually... I'd like to ask Lord Asta and Lord Tour-Din for the feast! "
Dali-Sauthi smiled at the hawk.
For your farewell feast has been spoken of inwardly for a long time.We have already completed our discussions and have given our consent to the Duke of Genocide. "
"I know that from the bottom of my heart!"... but this time, it's something else! ”
"Something else?" Dalí-Saudi opened his eyes wide and Ai-Fa looked the other way.
“What's the other matter? Is there anything else you'd like to celebrate?”
"Yes! I want to host a feast of praise!"
With great anticipation and enthusiasm, His Highness Dakarmas said so.
Dalí = Souti repeats the "feast of praise" with a calm waist.
"It's the first feast I've ever heard of.What is the purpose of the feast? "
"The purpose is to congratulate Lord Asta and Lord Tour-Din, who won the first place at the tasting!"I would like to invite prominent people from the castle town, the camping town, and the forestside village to celebrate their feat once again on the spot! ”
In response to His Highness Dakarmas' words, Toole-Din immediately retreated.After he smiled at you, Dari = Souti said, "Hmm...?”he frowned.
"I appreciate the offer... but didn't you just ask Asta and Tour-Din to prepare a feast for you?"
"Yes! Invitations to celebrate the stunning skills of Lord Asta and Lord Tour-Din!"I hold such a feast of praise every time I hold a grand tasting in the southern capital of the kingdom! ”
"Do you want them to prepare feast dishes at a feast to celebrate them?"It's just... a feast we're not familiar with. "
Even Dali-Sauthi, the old man, couldn't hold back his bitter smile.
"Anyway, if that is the official wish of the Duke of Genos and Prince Dakarmas, I will bring it back to the forest and discuss it."... by the way, how many guests do you plan to gather for the feast? "
"It was said that we could accommodate up to 300 people if we opened all the halls here, so we are considering it for now!"
Dalí-Sauthi, the elderly, also mumbled, "I..."
Of course, Eifa and Tour-Din expressed their surprises in a way that matched their temperament.
"... 300 people is quite a feast."Isn't it unusual for a castle town to have so many feasts? ”
"No. I have had a feast of such magnitude since the feast of my succession, when I inherited my title from my father.Normally, that's not enough unless you invite nobles from nearby territories. ”
Mulstein replied with a gentle face, as usual.
"With regard to the feast of praise, I was inquired by His Royal Highness the Prince."However, I decided to keep it secret until today so as not to give the chefs who were coming to the tasting party any extra care.Even though the sudden offer may be confusing, I want you to deal with it for the sake of the bond between Genos and Jagal. "
"Well, we're willing to discuss that... but Asta and Tour-Din have never had a feast like it."Is it possible? "
"You can have as many helpers as you want!"We are also going to invite a lot of people from the forest!Could you please accept that this is a great opportunity to deepen the ties between the forestside, the castle town and the post town? "
When His Highness Dakarmas smashed his cannon-like enthusiasm, Dalí-Sauthi smiled, rather calming his surprise, “I understand.”
"Anyway, let's discuss it at the house of the Three Patriarchs and Fadin."...... can Asta and the others approve of that, too? "
I had no choice but to answer "yes" in this place.
Ei = Fa is swallowing all her emotions, just nodding her head.I'm sure the chiefs won't let us go.
(But, 300 people... that's not a good surprise.)
This is the offer until the end of the last tasting.After all, the enthusiasm of His Highness Dakarmas seems to be above my imagination.
However, I decided to leave my surprises and puzzles to sleep until I could go back to the woodside and start a discussion.
I tried my best at the tasting to get the results I wanted.A little bit of that aftertaste won't hit the bees.
Ai = Fa stood beside the table and squeezed her expression tightly, looking at Dakarmas' smile.
When I return to Fa's house, what will Ei-Fa look like?
With such pleasure in my heart, I decided to end up at the end of the last tasting.
