As sunset approached, Ravitz's eldest brother visited Fa's house again.
"Naham's third sister replied to me." Thank you for accepting my sudden offer. "
When Ravitz's eldest brother said so with a calm face, Ai-Fa responded with a solemn face.
"This is the first time I've invited you to a supper at Fa's house." I would be delighted if we could bond properly. "
"Fufu, you don't have to worry about looking for the Fa's house, because it's not meant to be rough."
Other guests were already seated in the hall, and preparations for the dinner were now complete.
Ravitz's eldest brother, who had entered Ei = Fa with his sword in his hand, turned his gaze toward them-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a, smiled
"I see, I see. You were in Fa's house, too. This is a lot of cracking."
The sachi, which was rounded in the corner of the throne, responded with a grunt of "Na". By the way, Ravitz's eldest brother loved Sachi. Reputed by Dial to be a bandit, his face was as if he had welcomed his first grandchild, which surprised many people on the scene.
"You must like your Sim's cat a lot." Is there anything you want to say? "
When Dial asked, Ravitz's eldest brother sat down in the empty space, saying, "No, no, no."
"Even if you don't say anything, isn't there any change in his lovely gesture?" Or do the people of the south repel the beasts of the east? "
"No, it's not like that!" But one way or another, I prefer dogs. "
Sachi hid his golden eyes in his eyelids, uninterested in human stories.
By the time Ai = Fa had taken the upper seat, the dinner preparations would have been completed. We were supposed to settle down with each other.
The total number of guests greeted today is twelve.
From the castle town, there are refreire and chiffon-chel, sanjura and musul, dial and lavis. From the edge of the forest, there are the eldest brothers of Tuur-Din and Zay-Din, Yun-Sudra and Lyer-Fham-Sudra, and the women of the Ravitz family. And the women that were suddenly invited to the supper of the house of the Pharaoh, shrugged their shoulders in fear.
"Well, I think I'd like to start the dinner. I think there are people of different identities gathered today, but I want them to connect correctly without distracting each other's positions and customs."
Ai-Fa, who had become accustomed to inviting guests for a long time, greeted her in a sloppy tone.
Thus, the pre-dinner wording is uttered, and the dinner begins.
"Hmm. Just welcoming the nobility to our guests is a lavish dinner."... or is this the usual dinner in Fa's house? "
Ravitz's eldest brother asked me that right away, so I said no.
"After all, on the day we invited our guests, we have increased the number of products and finished them in a luxurious way." However, the identity of the guest is irrelevant. "
"Oh, the Ruu's were supposed to invite the [Silver Pot] to their dinner by now." If so, would you say that such a grand dinner is being prepared there? "
Ravitz's eldest brother is only at his own pace.
Well, it might be the perfect personality for a busy life. I don't care, I decided to divide the fruits of the day with my beloved parents.
"I tried a new curry today, so please give me your honest opinion." And the refreirers, too. "
“Yes, it's more lavishly finished than when we gave it a taste.”
At the study session, the focus was on adjusting the spices and stock, so the ingredients were only made from jiba meat. In this curry, which was finished for dinner, the following ingredients were added: ma pla for paprika, ma gigo for sweet potato, champagne for zucchini, remilom for broccoli, cham cham for barbecue, and beech mezimodoki and mushroom mezimodoki.
In addition to the rich shoulder meat and rose meat stock, Giba meat also uses mince of crumb meat. By simmering these ingredients with the soup stock of Kimusu noodles, we finally gained a satisfying depth. It was also a reminder of the importance of Aria as an onion.
In addition, the people of the forest side like to cook soup, so it is usual to prepare a refreshing soup on the day of curry. Today, we have prepared a Chinese soup with hobo oil, using Kimus bone marinade and using Giba bacon, Kimus melted eggs, Yural pa as onion, and Ma Tino as lettuce.
For those who are greedy about consuming gibba meat, we prepare a sauté of gibba tongue. It is a dish made of salt and pepper, mixed with salt and pepper leaves, hobo oil, seal juice and, after all, bone marinade stock. These soups and salted sauces were also conceived to convey the usefulness of kimusu bone marrow stock.
After that, I picked up a number of side dishes made from only ingredients bought from the outside, such as cucumber with finely chopped peeled cucumber in maro maro mayonnaise, sweet potato with mashed noodles and tuna flakes with stewed jorah.
"Really, they all have a wonderful taste. You think so, don't you?”
The three servants returned words commensurate with their temperament as the refreire greeted them in that way.
“These dishes can be treated as banquet dishes without lacking in performance at all. I am reminded of the strength of Lord Asta, who has been awarded many medals.”
"Yes, I think it's very delicious."
"Yeah... I'm so afraid to have such a fine dinner with a maid..."
“What are you talking about,” Lifreia laughed at Chiffon-Chel.
"There are no maids or helmets in the forestside village." Isn't that right, Asta? "
"Yeah. At least, we're all equal guests."... by the way, isn't it the first time you've had Chiffon-Chel eaten my food? "
That said, I laughed at Chiffon-Cher.
"I am truly happy to have Chiffon = Chel as a guest." Please don't hesitate to eat until your stomach is full. ”
"Thank you..." Chiffon-Chel replied with a very gentle smile. A humble statement is a boring display of temperament, and she is by no means inferior to herself.
"I see. Even at that tasting and feast of praise, the maids and servants worked so hard that they didn't even try to learn how to cook." In the castle town, the nobles and the servants do not say the same thing? "
Ravitz's eldest brother, who is aggressive on any topic, suddenly stopped talking like that.
Chiffon = Cher nodded with the same expression, "Yes..."
"Ah, in such a festive venue, the squire may also receive the remainder of the banquet meal... but basically, the master and squire do not eat at the same table..."
However, I often invite you and Sanjura to the same table.
And then, the refreire also said cheerfully.
"However, it will be regarded as an unrestrained act in the society of the nobility. That is why I sneak up on such deeds only in the sight of men."
"Hmm. Is it still the custom of the nobility only?"
Ravitz's eldest brother's trilogy is directed at Dialle, who is smiling and satisfying his appetite. Dial swallowed the contents of his mouth and answered.
"No. Whether it's an aristocrat or a merchant, the customs themselves are not going to change." Even in my house, it's hard for my dad to forgive me for letting Lavis sit on the same table. "
While saying that, Dialle grinned at Lavis.
"But without Dad's eyes, everyone in the house can pull Lavis all they want." If I were in Genos, I could eat the same thing with Lavis! "
"It's a terrible thing," I thought to myself, noticing that Lavis' eyes were still gazing softly. Previously on Lavis, it seemed like I wouldn't break the stiff attitude in such a scene.
(I wonder if there has been any change in mood during the vacation home. Then I'm glad to hear it.)
While I was thinking like that, Ravitz's eldest brother burst into Mash Noghigo, "I see."
"No, there was no such thing as a maid or a servant in the forest, so I was unaware of it from before." Certainly, the refreire and dials seem to treat their servants like family... but in the castle town, many people who aren't are to be seen. "
"Oh, if that's the case, we might not be able to help." Could it be that you've seen the aristocrats treating their servants like dirt? "
"I wonder if that's..." The aristocrats I saw were never torturing a servant... they were treating it like a tool. "
Ryelpham-Sudra reacted to Ravitz's eldest brother's words.
"That's a new story, isn't it? My family has gone to the castle, but they never said anything like that to me."
Hmm. Have you ever been to a castle?
"No, that kind of thing should be accompanied by young people." Originally, I was thinking about sending another person today, but I decided to go out thinking that I might want to talk about the expedition. "
"I see. Just like my father."... did you care about your squire? "
Ravitz's eldest brother turned his gaze to the women who were quietly eating.
It was the women of the branch who sat next to him who bowed their heads in apologies.
"I have only done my kamado work in the castle town, so I have hardly seen an aristocrat in the first place. What I saw was a southern royalty called Dell Share... but I didn't even see how she treated her squire."
"So, what about Sudra and the ladies of Din?" Do you visit the castle every time you go? ”
"Yes. Ravitz's eldest brother says that the nobleman poured alcohol on his servants and would not look at them at all... Is that what he did?"
When Yun-Sudra replied in that way, Ravitz's eldest brother raised his mouth to his satisfaction, saying, "That's the way it is."
"I don't want to say thank you all the time to my partner or my father for pouring alcohol." However, it would be natural for him to convey his feelings with his gaze and workmanship. The nobles didn't even seem to like the presence of their squire. It's as if alcohol came out of the sky on its own. "
"That's right, I thought it was a servant's job, and the nobles wouldn't pick on me at all.... should I have told these stories to my parents?"
Yun-Sudra lowered her eyebrows as she looked back, and Lyerpham-Sudra responded "No".
"Perhaps Ravitz's eldest brother is peculiar." You seem quite different from the rest of us. "
"Hmph. If you were me, you'd see the same thing." So what about the Fa's patriarch and Kamado number? "
"I am the same as Yun-Sudra, and I feel like I naturally accepted such a sight." If there were any noblemen who seemed to be oppressing their servants, I think it would have left an impression... but it seems that the people I am gracious with especially care about their servants. "
"I closed my eyes, whether that was the custom of the nobility or not. Asta was right, the nobles who were close to her didn't treat their squire badly."
"Hmm. Closing your eyes means you didn't think it was fun either."
Ei = Fa solemnly responded "Umu" by staring at Ravitz's eldest brother like he was being sucked up to.
"There is no reason why it seems interesting for humans to treat humans like tools. However, if that is the custom of the nobility, then we will be indignant."
"That's how Eifa and the others identified the nobles." Somehow, I feel like my spine is jerking off. "
As the refresher sighed, Ai = Fa gave you a gaze that softened her sharpness.
"As Ravitz's eldest brother said at the beginning, you and Dialle have never felt that way. That's why I feel like welcoming you as a guest.”
"I'm lucky to have you say that." As you know, I was a very bad aristocrat. I was a vicious aristocrat two years ago, wasn't I? I used to throw things at this Chiffon = Chel. "
Hmmm, I'm glad you're growing up right in your rough heart.
In response to Ai = Fa's honest reply, Refreia smiled shyly. It was the growth of the refreire that allowed me to smile like this.
“So what does Ravitz's eldest brother want to say? Does this mean that you have more opportunities to travel to the castle town, which raises suspicions about the nobility?"
And so the silent Zei-Din questioned.
Ravitz's eldest brother shrugs his shoulders.
"I've only been to the castle a few times." If that's all I could do, I'd be talking to you like a mouthpiece that knows all about the nobility. That's why I wanted to talk to the people who had been to the castle before. ”
"I see. I'm in the same position as you... but I still don't think that being an aristocrat is enough." The maids of Odifia were very important to me, and the maids of Odifia were also very important to me. "
With a gentle look at her father, Toole-Din smiles happily. I don't know who Odifia's maid is, but I'm sure the Toole-Dinns made a connection when they came to pay their respects.
"Surely, we haven't gotten to know the castle town at all." Even the Astas, who have been going to the castle town for the oldest time, are still two years old. "
This time, Lyellpham-Sudra said so.
"And it will be the other way around." I don't know anything about the people around the forest, compared to the aristocrats in the castle town. We will have to spend a long time in the future to deepen our understanding. "
"Oh, I don't think we're going to lose sight of the people around the forest right now."
When Refreire responded in that way, Lyerpham-Sudra asked, “Is that so?” he said thoughtfully.
"We have long been considered barbarians. Since misunderstandings and prejudices were also mixed in there, I am currently trying to solve them, but... I don't think that misunderstandings and prejudices alone will create so many bad feelings. I'm sure we have what should be considered barbaric for the nobility and the people of the town.”
I see? Even though it's not as barbaric as a tournament, compared to the power of the Harvest Festival.
"So at the time when the power of the harvest festival is given as an example, the sights will be different in the first place. It's a sacred ritual that shows its power in the Mother Forest, and we didn't think it was barbaric from the start.”
After answering like that, Lyerfam-Sudra thought slightly silently.
"For example... there are various codes around the forest." If you trampled on the rest of the house without permission, wouldn't it feel barbaric to cut off your toes? "
Dial said "Ngu" in a funny voice. I was surprised, and I ate something and got stuck in my throat.
"In addition, if you see the nakedness of women who are not family members, there is also a law to open your eyes, and if you put your hand on the blessing of the forest, there is a law to skin your head"
"Hey, hey, hey! Isn't that an incongruous topic during meals?"
It might be a barbaric side to just say these stories without worrying about it.
Lyerpham-Sudra smiled like a child apes.
"As for you, we haven't gotten to know each other yet." Especially since you've been getting along with Asta and Ei = Fa, you might have seen all the good parts of the people around the forest. "
"Hey, that would be too much lifting up Fa's house." Isn't there any other family around the forest that would make such a stir? "
When Ravitz's eldest brother said so with a smile, Lyerfam-Sudra responded "No" with a serious face.
"I didn't mean to decorate the words." The more proud the Fa's family is, the more flexible and pioneering the thought will be. I think those parts of the world are also attractive and friendly to people from the outside world. ”
No, I'm sorry to hear you say that to someone as brilliant as Lyerpham-Sudra.
When Ai = Fa said something like that with a somewhat troubled face, Dial laughed happily, "Ahaha."
"Human beings are people who gather together in groups similar to each other!" The Astas are friendly, but aren't you? That's why we've been able to get to know a lot of the good parts of the forest, mainly Asta. "
"Hmm. We Ravitz humans have tried to deny the work of the Pharaoh's House and never get used to it."
"But you're getting along now, aren't you?" This is how we surround the same dinner! "
Just innocently, Dialle insisted.
"So, nobles, you've expanded your exchanges around Lord Porarth and Lord Melfried, right?" That's why you've been able to learn a lot about the good parts of the nobility. "
Well, we all started out completely out of bad luck, though.
"But now, you're doing well with other aristocrats and people around the forest." The first son of Count Satulas, who caused a stir with Reina-Lou! Humans are inspired when they gather together! "
Dial's smile glows like a fist. Lyerfam-Sudra looked at him with a little admiration.
"That's why, if you keep spreading the circle like this, I'm sure you'll get along well with me!" Aristocrats have an arrogant part, and maybe people on the edge of the forest have a barbaric part, but if you're friendly, you should be able to inspire each other and finally forgive each other! "
"... hmm. You sound like a southern people, quite frankly."
Ravitz's eldest brother laughed giggly and bit Giva Tan's sauté hard.
"Well, it's not always necessary to keep your eyes open to see if you can forgive each other." Not only the nobility of the castle towns, but also the people of the camp towns, the people of the south and the people of the east, are all the same. "
"Yes! It's an honor to be recognized as the representative of the people of the South!"
Thanks to Ravitz's eldest brother, the topic that pushed in an unexpected direction seemed to have arrived safely and unexpectedly.
It seemed to me that the dinner was a lot of entertainment, but it might have been a good topic to bond with the refreirers. Evidence of this is that everyone was now eating with a clear expression on their face.
Shortly after two years of interacting with the people of the castle town. In the meantime, I think we've been able to bond a lot - Lyerfam-Sudra's right, I don't think we know enough about you. It should also have led to the implication that there was room for further bonding.
”... so you guys can't even open your mouths at all.”
Ravitz's eldest brother said so, staring at Sanjura, Musul, and Lavis. Furthermore, the gaze was also directed at the women in the next house, Yun-Sudra and Tuul-Din.
"The women at the edge of the forest shall set up the men, and the servants of the castle towns shall set up their masters. However, if you keep your mouth shut like that, you won't be able to know the other person or let them know about you. Now that you've come to this exotic dinner, you should do more."
But isn't there a side to it that you're giving your place to someone like you?
When Ze-Din said so, Ravitz's eldest brother laughed in disgust.
"That's why we're giving it a turn." Do you want me to tell you something from the edge? Your daughter seems to be very careful, so it's hard to talk about it without letting her do so. "
"In that way, I won't force you to speak." Well, I haven't had a chance to talk to those people so far, so I'd like to hear a few more words. "
That's right! Lavis is even more talkative!
Dial pulled Lavis' arm gently, and the refreire smiled at Sanjura and the others.
The food for dinner has diminished considerably, but it seems that there is still much to talk about.
Thus, the dinner at Fa's house, which welcomed twelve guests to the crackling, was to be advanced in an unusual heat.
