1081 Feast of praise (2) ~ Preparation ~

Preparing a feast meal for 300 people was not a viable task after all.

As Naham's youngest sister said, she was planning to prepare more than ten dishes today, so it is even more important.At the castle town feast, it was customary to give out such a large number of products.Of course, if we wanted to reduce the number of products, we might have been able to make a concession - but I wanted to try to be in line with the intentions of the other side.

Really, you're not pushing yourself, are you?

Even after the meeting with the Three Patriarchs, I was reconfirmed as such by Eifa.

"Yeah. If Dakarmas expects me to be able to do it, I'd like to meet that expectation."I don't want to talk about in-laws and glory... but I want to try my own strength. "

When I answered like that, Ei = Fa was silently stirring my head around me.

Then it took me almost ten days to get everything in order, and I decided to get to this day safely.

Thirty-nine women who have accepted my help have each carried out their work with enthusiasm.I was prepared to take on this big role because there were so many kamados growing up around the forest.

As expected of such a large number of people, there are not many people who will be working in the castle town for the first time.However, those people were also cowardly in their work.The first castle chef to step through his sleeves in a white cooking suit is doing his best.

I'm sure it's us who are the most inexperienced among them.

In the course of his work, Dalí-Sauthi's companion, Mill Fei-Sauthi, spoke like that.And along with her, Vera's young mate, who is the head of the family, works with her.Today, as the representatives of the Swarti bloodline, they were to attend the feast.

"If we were to back down, we could have counted on other powerful women... but I'm sorry to have put Asta in trouble."

"Not at all." Soutie's people are doing the cooking by Lu's family, right?From what I've seen, I don't think there's any scarlet color at all. ”

“But even if it's only the Souti bloodline, the three people who got their hands on it directly from Asta already represent the results.There is no doubt in my mind that we are powerless. "

And Mir Fei-Sauthi, who was speaking with a sharp face, softened his expression.

"But all the other ladies invited to the feast were going to help Asta and Tour-Din... so I didn't feel like we were the only ones coming in the evening."I am prepared to compensate for the lack of skill with my energy. Thank you very much. "

“It's very reassuring to hear you say that.Thank you very much. ”

When the conversation broke down, Naham's youngest sister, who worked in the same kitchen, called out sneakingly.

"The chieftain's companion is so majestic after all."It's kind of nice, and I admire it. "

"Ahahah. It's been the last two years since Mill Fei-Sauthi became the companion of the eldest, so it's probably his qualities, but... but I wholeheartedly agree that he's handsome."

There are many young women who are driven out at this time, so the mid-twenties of Mill Fei-Sauthi flew away and became the oldest.But her majesty and piercing did not seem to give the other members a secret composure.

"I don't think Mill Fei-Sauthi has enough power."I just want to do my best not to be a nuisance to Asta. "

And from the other side, Klua-Sun calls out like that.Today, with the exception of Yamil-Ray and Lili-Lavitz, she was finally able to do her job in the castle town.

Klua-Sun and the women of Ravitz's bloodline have a very humiliating temper.But those girls were also working hard to kill their anxieties and compulsions.Moreover, since the first half of the work was all about chopping meat and vegetables, they seemed to be able to regain their normal calm while immersed in such familiar work.

Whenever I finished my work, I entrusted Malfira-Naham and the others to check on the other chefs, but the work was progressing without delay.

Yun-Sudra's team is a small clan, Rimi-Ru's team is a blood family of Ru, and Reina-Ru's team is a mixed team, but it seems that solid unity is created under the trusted team leader.

"Yes! Even if you muster this many people, you have full control!"Really, the people around the forest are highly skilled and aware of each other. "

The viewer Princess Dershare laughed like that.

By the way, today she is watching the four cooks in equal parts, sometimes stretching her legs to the Swan Palace Tour-din, so I didn't feel as present as before.It seems that they are more focused on visiting the work than enjoying the conversation.Her stay with her father may be coming to an end, and you may be in a good mood.

If you greet Jomtien in that way, I will put in a midday break and have lunch.

It was left to the team leaders to decide what kind of lunch to prepare.My team is full of ingredients.The image of pork soup in casual cooking may have taken root in me.

During this holiday, Princess Dell Share didn't sit still.It was proposed in advance that all chefs should be asked to share their meals one bite at a time.So when we loosened up our gibberish, the energetic princess left the kitchen feeling extremely satisfied.

”I don't have to deal with that guy... but I don't want to feel sorry for the Rodeo who's being pulled around with me”

Ei = Fa, who was mouthing the same dish, sneakily told him so.Sure enough, Rode's struggles were going to be a lot of trouble.As for me, I imagined the owner being swayed by a casual puppy walk.

After such a break, we can resume our work.

The start of the feast was on the fifth minute after the descent, and since the attendees were prepared in advance to change clothes, it was said that they would like the work to be finished at the latest half an hour before. Thirty of the fifty people can stay until the end, but the skilled person of Kamado is included in the attendees of the Nakanami feast, so I wanted to complete all the work by then.

"Now, this dish is one step ahead."I'll check on the other chefs, and I'll ask you to get ready for the next one. "

Yes, yes, I understand.

Marfila-Naham's fussy smile was very reassuring. After two tasting sessions, Marfila-Naham seemed to have finally gotten a taste for it.Today, you can follow my instructions, so you don't have to worry about anything - and you feel very relaxed.His Highness Dakarmas' actions had led to the growth of many humans.

"... surely this reminds me of when you served as a banquet handout."

Ai-Fa, who was accompanying him, tweeted as he went along the corridor, aiming for other cooks.

"Did you last serve as a banquet handkerchief... until the first Joint Harvest Festival?"

"Yeah, maybe so."In the castle town, I was often entrusted with cooking, but most of the time, Reina-Lou took half the responsibility. "

Hmm. I think I finally understand what you meant when you said you wanted to test your strength.

Ai = Fa secretly smiled so that the maid's maiden name would not be noticed.

"Reina-Lou, Toure-Din, and Malfira-Naham stood eagerly at the feast of their bloodline.It used to remind me of you, and it seemed very reassuring... but as the other rounds grew up, you didn't have a chance to take on the role of partitioner. "

"Yes. Especially with the feast of House Luu, the number of guests is getting bigger and bigger, right?"When I was in charge of the partitioning role, there weren't many of them... so I thought Reina = Lou, who was a fine partitioner, was amazing. "

"However, Reina = Lou has developed so much strength by learning from you."Today, it's your turn to show off your true power. "

"Ahaha. I'll tell you what, it was the first time that I was going to host a feast of 100 people, the wedding of Ghazran-Rutim and the others."

I responded cheerfully, but Ei = Fa's gaze was so serious and warm that I didn't expect it.

"In other words, even after you come to the edge of the forest, you continue to grow without any strain."I've seen it from the closest place....... I am truly proud of your growth "

I got my heart shot out in an instant, but I arrived at the kitchen before I could come up with a good answer.

This is the chef who is headed by Reina-Lou.Reina-Lou was giving instructions with the women of Ray, who also served as assistants at the tasting, as her heart.

"Oh, Asta, we're doing fine."As long as someone doesn't turn the pot upside down, you'll be able to finish your work with some leisure. ”

"I see. Thank you. Reina = Luu can count on you after all."

Reina-Lou is not only a skilled cook, but also one of the most experienced cooks in the castle town, and above all, she has a proven track record of managing Lou's feast and independently accepting requests from Count Satulas.Of course, there were no places where I could not rely on Yun-Sudra or Rimi-Lou, but even so, I had the impression that Reina-Lou was missing one head at a time.

(Besides, my temper is bursting)

Today's Reina-Lou remained tight from the morning.Is it the consciousness that at this feast, which brings together humans from all over Genosity, we can never serve unexpected dishes?Reina = Lou seems to be the type who can drive things such as holding and pride without compromising the great premise of "sharing joy".

"Well then, thank you for your continued support." If you need anything, please let me know right away. "

“Yes, I'll take care of it.”

After that, I also tried Yun-Sudra and Rimi-Ru's chef, but there were no unforeseen situations.

As I mentioned earlier in my conversation with Princess Dershare, the people on the edge of the forest have exceptional energy and strength.It's such a long job, and I can stay focused on it.Indeed, it seemed to me that this was a great quality as a cook.

And for myself - for example, if this was the first time I came to the forest side, it would be that I would be enshrined as the main character of the feast after preparing a banquet meal for 300 people, but I couldn't keep up with my energy and strength.At the wedding of Ghazlan-Rutim, who was entrusted to serve as a banquet waiter for the first time, I was already exhausted from eating my own meal.

I've certainly grown in the last two years.I'm sure it's more than five centimeters tall, and there's a lot of muscle on your lean body.Surrounded by the men on the edge of the forest, I didn't feel like bragging at all---but the other day, when Ai = Fa pointed out, I realized that I had acquired such strength that I could not beat the women on the edge of the forest.

I'm growing, and everyone else is.It seemed that the grand event of this glorious feast, which I was going to experience for the first time, would give me a better sense of its growth.

◇

So, time is flowing too slowly.

After about a quarter of a minute of going down, my cooking work was almost finished.

"Good. All you have to do is cook Shaska."I think it will be difficult because of the amount, but please be kind. "

And it came to pass, as they burned their cheeks, that the women of Dagorah, the family of Baem, answered them.When the person who would be the attendee of the feast was removed, she would become the most experienced talented person, so it was decided to entrust her with the aftermath.

Then, as we left the kitchen, we were just about to gather members from other chefs to be seats.

Among them, the apron dress Rimi-Lou said, "Wow!”I jumped at Ei = Fa.

"Ah, Dell Share is changing clothes too, so excuse me first!"I said hello to Asta! "

Yeah, sure. Let's get dressed, then.

Since it was said that the change of clothes would be done at the Swan Palace, the total number of people in the group was 16, and the number of hunters was 8.

With the guidance of his niece, he is led to the bathing hall first.Since you get sweaty from cooking in the morning, they told you to cleanse yourself again if you have time to relax.

When we arrived at the bathhouse, the hunters were already there to cleanse themselves.After all, you did your job hunting Giba, so I was told to cleanse myself first.

"The three of them, Din and Rid, were taken to the Swan Palace."It seems that Zaza's blood family has been gathered there. "

He was the eldest brother of Gaz, who had served as an escort at the previous tasting.He was one of the followers.

After we easily sweat, we are made to wear something like a gown, which leads us to the changing room.It was a bit nostalgic to receive such treatment.

The tailor and the assistant surname were waiting for me during the change, and the men who swelled up to 15 people wrapped their banquet costumes from one end.

"Is this the costume of the castle town?"I see, it's quite a strange thing. "

Joe Lang, who had a pure temper but no clothes on his teeth, called him that.He would have been in the castle town several times, but it was his first time wearing a banquet costume.

What was being prepared today was a Selva-style banquet costume.It is a style in which a long top is worn without sleeves, and a necklace or arm decoration is worn over a long dress like a fluffy one-piece.It was only after the feast of the tournament that the people around the forest were allowed to wear it.This time, the large number of people did not have time to take a proper measurement, so I wonder if this banquet costume with a wide sense of size was adopted.

A little different in design and colouring, but all in the same style of banquet costumes, with a vermilion coat of arms as a sign of the outpatient guests. It was quite spectacular that fifteen men wore such banquet costumes.Every hunter on the edge of the forest had a good style, so most of his costumes came to life.

Hmm. It's not cramped at all, but it's becoming more and more like a hunter.

Ravitz's eldest brother spoke in a cynical tone.Even today, he and Mora-Naham were allowed to sit as members of the bloodline of Malfira-Naham.

Because of his unique appearance, he has a slightly different atmosphere.Even today, even though the fallen samurai's dazzling hair was beautifully groomed with oil - it had a strangely shabby face, was short, and had an invincible smile on its face, so it looked like somehow a vice merchant of money.

"But you're quite impressive."When you're dressed like this, it's like a wall. "

Ravitz's eldest brother raises Mora-Naham with these words.Although his back was slightly over 180 centimeters tall, he had a strong figure anyway, and he had a square and tight face like the Moai statue, so it certainly created a unique force.

However, when they gathered together like this, they never seemed to float.Differences in appearance and physique can be wrapped up in the unique atmosphere of forest hunters.Even if the appearance was not beautiful, even if the figure was large or small, the wild vitality emanating from it did not change anything.

(If you say such a thing, I'm not a hunter, but I'm going to float alone)

Several maidens are still gathered in front of me with such thoughts, and I am worried about wearing ornaments.When I dropped my gaze on myself, thinking that I was very careful, there were more gorgeous ornaments than other men.

Um, isn't it a little different just for me?

Yes, Asta-sama is our guest of honor today.

When I was told that, I was wearing the same style of banquet costume, but the cuffs and embroidery of the top made me feel more luxurious than others.The ornaments that shine on her chest and palms seem as lavish as the ladies.

Moreover, I was told to bring with me the three medals I had been awarded so far, and they were all lined up on my chest.

(Oh no. It's not a hobby to be gorgeous...)

Then, the little surname in front of me raised his face and put his hand on my hair softly.

"It looks like Asta has hair that is prone to bristles."Shall I fix it with oil? "

"Ah, no, that's fine. I like my hair as it is."

It was very crackling to make such a proposal.But when I have a head like Riheim, all I have to do is buy a smile.

That's how we finally got everyone dressed.

It is said that there is still room at the beginning of the feast, and now it is guided to the resting place.Today, it was a spacious room that I wanted to call the hall because it was a large group.

The men in banquet costumes are relaxed and entertaining.No one showed some tension, but they were still strong hunters, so they did not float or disturb like the people in the post town.

Except for me, there were 14 people here - Ziza-Ru, Rud-Ru, Sin-Ru, Zida, Gazlan-Rutim, Dari-Sauthi, the patriarch of Vera, Chim-Sudra, Jow-Ran, Mora-Naham, the patriarch of Rats, and the eldest brothers of Ravitz, Gaz, and Baim.In principle, this figure is selected from the clan involved in the tasting meeting with the elders.I wonder if the exception is the head of Ratz.It was said that Ratz was deeply involved with the Fa family and was incorporated at the last minute because he was a large clan after the elders.

After a while, the door was knocked on, so I thought that the women's dress was over, and I was a member who was going to the Swan Palace.

These are the faces of the women of Tulle-Din and Lido, the eldest brothers of Zay-Din and Lido, in addition to the eldest brother of Lido, Georg-Zaza, Sfira-Zaza, Dick-Dom, and Morne-Rutim-Dom.There were only four women, but it was still a glamour that brightened the interior.

"Oh, Asta is well decorated!"It's unusual for a man to be so decorated! ”

Georg = Zaza makes a loud laugh.Along the way, Toole-Din was embarrassed.

The banquet costume for women is similar to the basic design of men, but the embroidery and ornaments are different.Among them, the guest of honor, Tour-Din, was particularly attentively decorated.And to his chest are the decorations once given to him by Odifia, and the yellow and red medals.

However, some men were drawn to Sfira-Zaza, not Tuul-Din.Women's banquet costumes have large open collars, so the breast valley is greatly accentuated when the limbs are growing.Moreover, since this outfit uses an extremely thin fabric, even with such a loose design, the silhouette of the wedged waist and leg line is easy to come out, and even though the exposure is small, it looks glossy.

The ladies of Lido are no different from Sphila = Zaza at their age, but they are really innocent and cute.Sphila = Zaza is one year younger than me, but she looks very grown-up, and since the proportions are commensurate with that, it seems that this will make the young men's chests noisy.

"Hmm. You're so colourful, after all.You're the one who's fine, but isn't Laylis the one who's disturbed? "

Georg-Zaza laughed instead of her sister when Ludo-Ru, who didn't know what to be afraid of, said so.

"Both Sphila and Laylis vowed to give up welcoming you as their companion!"If Laylis was such a soft-headed fool, I'll beat her up in battle! "

Sphila-Zaza winked at her brother with sharp eyes.

Georg = Zaza looked back at it with a cheerful smile on her brave but unexpectedly curvy face.

"What, what's with those eyes?" I know he's not such a softass.While you were quiet by the woodside, I used to face him!No matter how confused he may be about your scent, he will never change his foreword.Don't worry, shake the incense. "

No, nobody's swaying incense!

"I'm not sure because I'm a family member, but I hear your incense is pretty good."I'm going to make you a partner and reassure Reilly! "

Georg = Zaza stepped into the room laughing like Dan = Rutim.Sphyra-Zaza, who trembled her shoulders, was calmed, and the women of Rid followed.

And then, Zei = Din, who tried to continue, passed by and whipped me in the ear.

"It seems that Georg-Zaza is very happy that such a feast will be held for Toole.As the feast approached, my heart seemed to rise. ”

"Oh, I see... but I'm sure it won't make Ze = Din happy."

I'm not as young as Georg = Zaza.

Having said that, Zei-Din gave a very attractive smile.It was Toul-Din who looked up and seemed so happy that he was about to spill his tears.

In the meantime, Dick-Dom called out to Rud-Lou.

"It's Rudo-Lou. I heard you dropped that floral ornamentation today."

"Ah, thank you. It's like an old ritual that I pulled out for the people around the forest."It's time to stop relying on such rituals, and it seems that each person should have a setudo. "

The tradition of flower ornaments was about red and blue flower ornaments, which indicated that they were accompanied by a feast partner or were married.The aristocrats pulled out the habit so that the people on the edge of the forest would not accept the invitation to fall in love cheerfully - or seriously.

Still, it is said that using color for other people's company and feast partners is an absolute taboo in castle town feasts.What was cancelled this time was the fitting of floral decorations to visualize it.

"Well, the story of cheerful erotic love is so fussy, I'm going to ask you if you're prepared to do something like Shmiral = Lilin."From the beginning, I thought I didn't need any flower ornaments. "

"Hmm... well, maybe that's the case..."

"What, are you worried that Morne Rutim-Dom might get somebody into trouble?"Dick = Dom is also surprisingly worried about sex. "

"Servant, I wasn't always worried about that kind of thing"

Dick-Dom shouted in a panic, almost without breaking down his sophisticated expression.Morne Rutim-Dom giggled at her companion's appearance.

“It's all right, we'll be around all the time during the feast, so we won't be bothered.”

"No, don't worry about me, Moln Rutim, do as you please."

"Then, it's still by your side."I'm worried if Dick is going to make a strange mess. "

Dick-Dom didn't dye his cheeks in shame, he just looked down at his partner with a gentle glance.Even though I'm the same age, I can't compare to myself.Besides, Dick-Dom, who was over 190 centimeters tall and had a tight face full of old wounds, wore the elegant banquet costume of the castle town, but also had a majestic and beautiful appearance that he wanted to name even on the holiday of the Fighting Gods.

And there, the sound of knocking echoed again.Now it is the women of this camp.

"Excuse me, I've escorted your companion.We'll be starting the feast soon, so please be patient. ”

Along with the words of the maidservants, 16 women entered the room.It was as if the interior had changed into a flower garden.

The women of Reina-Lou, Lara-Lou, Rimi-Lou, Maim, and Ray.Yun-Sudra, Ea-Fou-Sudra, Malfira-Naham, the youngest sister of Naham.Ray-Matua, the women of Gaz.Faye-Baim, Mir Faye-Sauthi, Vera's patriarchal companion, Ratz's lady-and Ei-Fa.

My eyes are naturally drawn to Ei = Fa.

The golden brown hair that was hanging naturally was decorated with my hair gift, and the open chest with the collar was decorated with my necklace -- even in the castle town banquet costume, those decorations seemed to look so good that I could sigh.

In any case, the costumes and ornaments seem more lavish than those of other women.The difference is not so clear, but the condition of the fabric and embroidery, the condition of the overlap of the arm ornaments - the base of the long clothes shone with the addition or subtraction of light, so that the illusion was that Ei = Fa itself was shining.

Ei = Fa, who wore such a castle town banquet costume, advances more gracefully than anyone else in a manner she once learned.The golden brown hair and the hem of the long jacket sway with breathtaking beauty.

Ei = Fa stood in front of me, always staring at me with calm eyes as usual.

"... it looks like you've been dressed up so gorgeously."

"W-Well, that's our line."It's a different outfit from last time, isn't it? "

Hmmm, it's said that because you are the guest of honor, I have prepared another outfit for the attendant.

As Ai = Fa rose lightly, a soft voice poured into my ear.

"Even with such a gorgeous outfit, I was told that there was nothing wrong with this ornament.... oddly enough, your eyes were pretty sure. "

Speaking of which, my new necklace options were prepared for these days.

The stylish silver chains and leaf-inspired ornaments shine sharply on the chest of Ai = Fa, centering on the blue gemstones that were once given to them.

And Ei = Fa, who kept her mouth out of my ear, smiled even more brilliantly while being careful not to be seen by anyone else.
