1142 Morinabe Parents' Conference (5) - Dinner and Sake Banquet

After a few more hours, the half-day meeting of the parents was finally over.

The sun sets in the outside world, and the sacrificial hall is lit by candlesticks. And when the supper was delivered by the hand of the women, the voice of joy was uttered everywhere.

"Ahh, I'm so hungry I'm going to cut my stomach bag!" Now, come with Asta and Ei = Fa! "

And when Rau-Ray gives me a headlock, I'm dragged into the circle of Rau's bloodline. Then, Gaz's patriarch had a grievous look at him.

"You've been beaten by Luu's bloodline again." I think we'll talk to both of them later. "

"After the dinner, it's a feast, so we'll have as much time to talk about it!" Speaking of which, I'm getting ready to play board games today! "

Hmmm. You want to have fun with Ray's parents, too.

Gaz's patriarch also softened his eyes. Speaking of which, at last year's Parents' Meeting, it was decided who should talk with the facade's people first by winning or losing the board game.

In any case, it is first of all a dinner.

After being pulled by Lau-Ray, there were two of Lilin's friends, Zida and Sin-Ru, so I was disfavored.

“Good work, everyone, this has been an unbeatable density of meetings this year and last year.”

Hmm. We've just embarked on a new way of life, so we won't be able to calm down for a while.

Gillan-Lillin said that, laughing deeply.

Meanwhile, food is delivered by the hands of the women. Today, I only bit dried meat into Jomtien, so my stomach also gurgled.

Speaking of which, when I first met Ei = Fa, I almost got killed by the sound of my stomach.

When I slapped such a light mouth, Ei = Fa smiled softly and clapped her temples with "upset".

Soon after the end of the meal, Sun's ladies returned to their homes, and the ladies who visited with help settled down in their blood families. There was a crowd of women to sit next to Lau-Ray, Sin-Lou, and Zeda, and Rimi-Lou came next to Ai-Fa, so the population density rose all at once.

"Well, I think I'd like to start the dinner. And it came to pass, that the blood of Luw, and Zaza, and Phu, and the women of Sung, and Matua, and Naham, prepared the supper for this day: and it was Zaza's house that paid for the ingredients. In the future, the price of the dinner will be paid by the house of the elders, and when there is a shortage of copper coins, we will use the shared assets, so be careful."

Together with such a prefix, Donda-Lou uttered the wording of the aperitif.

Ninety or so people, with the addition of the female crowd, repeat it in a quiet voice. Since the pre-dinner language could not be uttered at the feast, the chanting of this number was a unique act of the parents' meeting.

"Alright, I'm going to eat! They all look delicious, and I'm going to worry about where to start!"

Rau-Ray laughs and waits for Yamil-Ray to share the dishes. Is this what the eldest brother of Ravitz once said: the workmanship of the onion? Rau-Ray, along with the cooking, also had a hot gaze on Yamil-Ray's figure.

Lara = Lou for Sin = Lou, and Mime for Jeddah would have to take the initiative to share the food. However, because there were not enough women in the crowd, Gillan-Lillin and the others took up the cooking with their own hands.

"Oh, he's still getting ready today, isn't he?" Shmiral would be grateful as well. "

"Yes, for two days in a row, curry, it's like a dream."

Guillain-Lilin and Shmiral-Lilin get along just like their biological parents. With all my heart, I was happy to join you in the conversation.

"Even at Lilyn's house, are you avoiding curry every day?" Curry flavored dishes are different, right? "

"Yes, curry, not served, curry dish, served." Of course, I'm not dissatisfied. "

"Still, it seems that the real him suits Schmiral's taste." Which crowd of women has done this? "

"That's the set of dishes that Yun-Sudra ran." That way, you don't have to worry about the flavor, because Asta is directly at your fingertips. "

Lara = Luu immediately returned her words. The speed of reaction around here was her characteristic and a beauty.

So the curry is like a Japanese-style curry stock that we made at Lilin's study session. Shmiral-Lillin smiled happily with her eyes narrowed as she spoke.

"Exactly, the curry of Lilin is comparable to the taste. Still, we see new ingenuity."

New ingenuity? That's something I'm looking forward to.

Gillan-Lillin, who was carrying Shasca covered in curry, opened his eyes and said, "Hmm."

"This certainly tastes a lot different." What is the difference between him and Lilyn's house? "

"Oh, this is Japanese-style soup stock, and it's even added to the elements of seafood." This is a dish that I created for a diplomat who can't eat meat. ”

The curry was used not only for smoked fish and seaweed, but also for dried shellfish and nyonpa. Especially this dried scallop-like product has a strong stock, which changes the taste.

Shellfish and Nuyonpa are also used as ingredients after taking the stock, so it plays a pleasant harmony with the meat. After all, many people would be dissatisfied if they didn't use Giba meat in the curry, so they would be made into a mixed tailor.

“If you like Schmiral-Lilin, I'll bring the shellfish and dried Nuñon Pa with me the next time I go to Lilin's house. It's easy to handle, so if it's Lilyn, she should be able to use it quickly.”

“I see. We must somehow reward our efforts by not helping the stalls in Fa's house.”

When I unexpectedly lowered my eyebrows, Guillain-Lilin laughed, "Don't worry."

"I'm not going to pay you a copper coin for anything." I want to reward Asta in a way that she can't remember her troubles. "

"Huh. Well, I'm glad to hear that."

Then, Schmiral-Lillin turned to me with a worrying gaze.

"Asta, are you offended? I, Asta's valve, have become a form of denial, so I'm worried."

"No, no, I was finally convinced, so please don't worry." I think Schmiral-Lillin's spirit of wanting to be fair to everyone is a fine one. "

“Thank you. I just presented Ghazlan-Rutim with an immediate, valid proposal. That clarity, that I don't have, I'm sorry to say it."

"You're smart enough." However, no one can match Ghazlan-Rutim. "

Guillain-Lillin smiled casually and patted Shmiral-Lillin on the shoulder.

And Gazlan-Rutim speaks of Donda-Ruu a little further afield. Is it also a summary of today's meeting of parents? At least, it didn't seem like I was chatting.

"Come on, you can eat other dishes besides him!" We prepared our dishes! "

Lara-Lou, Rimi-Lou and Mime came together to share the various dishes.

They offer a wide variety of dishes, such as gibba cutlets made with grated shima and tau oil-based sauce, consommé-style soup with lots of kimusu bone marinade, and gibba shabu-shabu hot vegetable salad made with sesame seeds dressed with hoboi. Anyway, this time, the theme was "Delicious dishes without using Dalaym vegetables".

"Hmm? This isn't gibberish, it's fish."

Lau-Ray called the dumplings Jorah's stewed in oil. The fried tuna flakes are simmered in Jora oil and served with various sauces.

"It was a very popular dish at the tasting." Wasn't he let out at Ray's house? "

"Hmmm! If Gibbons aren't used, I'll complain!" But eating like this doesn't seem so bad! "

“You're right? I think you can make your Giba dishes even more delicious by sandwiching dishes that don't use Giba meat.”

"I see, that's the way it is!" Yamil, you should encourage me to cook without using Giba in the future! "

“Shut up and be swayed by your words.”

Yamil-Ray nails Raú-Ray with a cool horizontal gaze. Looking closely, Zwei-Rutim sat tightly behind his supple limbs. The appearance of the former sisters beside each other is a smile.

"Thank you for waiting!" "and Ray-Matua appears there. There was nothing but [Giba's Grilled Balls] on the large plate in his hand.

"What, is that?" I already ate the fish dumplings. "

"This is not a fish, this is a dish called egg roast with gibba!" The chief Donda = Luu had already eaten, so he was told by his family to behave first! "

The Luu family had already rented a new octopus and balls.

Lau-Ray put it in his mouth with a wild face, but suddenly he revealed his joy.

"This is pleasant to eat!" When was such a dish created? "

"This is a dish made from new cooking utensils that I bought from the ironmonger Dial!" To see how many members of the family would like to buy that cookware, we're going to have a ball roast for dinner today! ”

"This is delightful!" I want to buy it at Ray's house! "

"Ah! I have to let others taste it too, so please wait a little longer!" I'm going to give you three pieces at a time! "

Rae-Matua hurriedly pushed the wooden plates toward us, as Rae seemed to be losing all of them.

Me, Ei = Fa and Schmiral = Lillin, who don't need a taste already, give way to other opportunities. Gillan-Lillin's eyes were also to be rounded with "Ho".

"It certainly feels strange to eat this." It doesn't seem very similar to any of the dishes we've been talking about. ”

“Yes, that's why we needed special cookware.”

"I see... it's been over two years since Asta came to the forest, but it still brings us new joy."

Having said that, Gillan-Lillin smiled even more warmly.

"I am truly glad that you have welcomed Asta to your country, and that you have been recognized for the right things to do in Pharaoh's house." It seems that the parents' conference is a day to make those feelings come true again. "

“If you say so, I'd appreciate it. What, Ei = Fa?"

Ei = Fa's eyes, which answered "Umu", were staring at us with a softer light than expected, so I was unexpectedly twitching.

"But, it's hard to make three for each person." I wonder if Rey = Matua and the others have properly prepared their dinner? "

I turned my gaze to Rey = Matua to relieve my inner gaze. There was an innocent smile waiting for you, as usual.

"Yes! The five of us are doing our jobs in turn, so it's okay!" This is the end of my work! "

And the five shall be members of the women of Rei-Mathua, and of Yun-Sudra, and of Malphira-Naham, and of Phuu, and of Lan. This [Giba's Grilled Balls] was accepted by your team.

“Speaking of which, how was your cooking at Marfila-Naham? I was surprised just by the taste!"

"Cuisine of Marfila-Naham? Which one do you mean?"

"This is a flavored grill! It tastes completely different from the flavor grill before, but it's really delicious!”

It is the first time that Marfila-Naham has unveiled a new dish. Rey-Matua's large plates were indeed piled with gibberish covered in vanilla powder.

"We haven't eaten yet either." Let me taste the rumored dishes of the famous Malfira = Nahamu. "

Guillain-Lilin, Shmiral-Lilin, Lau-Ray, and Yamil-Ray were also to separate the dishes.

The flavor of the baked dish was really as vibrant as it woke up to.

"Wow, this is amazing." It's sweet, bitter, bitter, sour... it's like a castle town dish. "

"But there's absolutely nothing hard to eat!" That's why I think it's a dish that mixes the Asta and Vulcan ways! ”

The sweetness of the fruit, the spiciness of the herbs, the bitterness and fragrance of the gigi leaves and hoboi oil, the sourness of the herbs like the vinegar and lemongrass of Mamaria - and the flavor of the kelp root like the ginger, the Mango like the sage, and the Mango like the big leaves. The different flavors are harmonious, nothing resembles anything but difficult to eat, and everything is formulated to enhance the taste of Giba meat - the finishing touch of Malfira-Nahamu.

"I don't know, this is a funny taste!"... but it's delicious! Yamil, you should learn how to make this too! "

"Come on. You can't imagine how much Marfila-Naham is cooking.”

"But isn't this a dish worth the hard work?" Naham's third sister is really a big deal. "

Guillain-Lilin and Shmiral-Lilin also have their eyes wide open across from Lau-Ray and the others. In particular, I was concerned about Sims' impressions of Shmiral-Lirin.

"This is delicious. Vanilla, the main thing, but Sim, it's a taste that doesn't exist. Sim cuisine is different, so perhaps it's natural....."

“Yes, there's a lot of ingredients that your Sims don't have. It should be a unique dish from Genos that brings together different ingredients.”

If Reina = Lou or Cily = Rowe had spoken, they would have burned their opponents with tremendous force.

And Rey-Matua watched the admiration of those people as proudly as she could.

"The people of Naham and Ravitz must also have a tall nose!" Then I will return to my bloodline! "

Yeah, good job.

After Rey-Matua left, we continued eating with pleasant conversation.

However, after all, the topic tends to flow into the talk of the parents' meeting. In particular, there were many women who did not participate in the patriarchal meeting at this venue, so it seemed to be attracting interest.

"Huh! So the Fa's house is halving the cost of helping the stalls?" Tomorrow--no, I'm off tomorrow, so the day after tomorrow. You're going to do that the day after tomorrow? "

When I answered, "Yeah," Lara = Lou thought deeply and rinsed the soup.

"Well, it's the white moon from tomorrow, so it would have been just right to say it's just right. If this was the halfway point, wouldn't it be a little tricky to keep books?"

"Oh, if you ask me, maybe."...... I can't think of anything like that right away, Lara = Lou. "

"Don't be silly!" "And Lara = Lou blushed and nodded sideways at Xin = Lou, who was innocent. Xin = Luu's gentle gaze looked like that of Ei = Fa when she looked at me.

"But that's it." Decreasing the price paid to the ladies and increasing the share of Fa's house means more taxes will be paid to Genos. Well, that's a good thing, isn't it? "

"Fortunately? What?"

"What's the matter, Genos is in a tough time when the fields of Dalai Mu have met each other, right?" If you get more taxes from Asta, you'll probably be saved. "

This should be called the cleanliness of the people around the forest, not the individual Lara-Ru. In my hometown, there seemed to be a lot of people who had a blood eye for tax savings, and I had the impression that there was no big difference in the feeling even in the post town.

So, what happened to Luu?

Rimi-Lou, who was supposed to have a pleasant conversation with Ai-Fa, raised his voice in that gap.

"Luu, you're doing a lot of work for Dai, Len, and Souti's family, aren't you?" But they're not helping Luu's stalls, so we can't even halve the price like the Fa's house. ”

"That's right, I was worried about that too!" I don't think it would have made sense to accept the price from such a clan. "

"Yeah, that's why the clan said they could use Lu to help with the business." It doesn't offset labor with labor. "

"Ah, I see! That way we'll have a little less work to do, so we'll do our best!" We'll get along even better with the rest of the clan! "

Lara-Lou spills her white teeth. In the meantime, she didn't notice that Xin-Lu was making a gentle gesture again.

"But I didn't expect Ravitz's patriarch to say something like that." Things and attitudes seem to be the same as usual, but isn't it possible that we have become somewhat more connected to Fa's family? "

When Gillan-Lillin said so, Ai-Fa shrugged his shoulders, “I wonder.”

"But no matter what, I think that he is a fair person." The eldest brother over there seems to have a lot of interest like the Pharaoh's house... so we should try to deepen the bond without any strain in the future. "

Hmm. I'm not worried about Eifa and Asta either.

When Gillan-Lillin replied with a smile like that, “Excuse me! A voice echoed from the center of the chapel.

"Well, it looks like the food is almost exhausted, so I'll distribute sweets!" I hope you're happy that this was made by Zaza's bloodline! "

It was Tuul-Din who had a red face, and Sphila-Zaza stood alongside him like a nightclub. This was also a sight I remember seeing at the last patriarchal meeting.

Regardless, our bosses also got up and started helping with the candy handout. Today's treats are Raman Pachokola and Sweet No Gigo.

"Oh, this is a candy that was awarded a medal at the tasting." Both are exquisite. ”

Many men attended the glorification feast, but most of them were young people, so it is likely that few parents have ever spoken about them. Gillan-Lillin and Lau-Ray also ate those sweets with great admiration.

"This is amazingly sweet and delicious!" Yamil, you too-- "

"Ahh, can't you give it a rest?" How could you possibly learn such a new thing from one to the next if you don't have enough arms like me? "

"I think you're a fine kamado." If you're not good enough, it's time to take care of Fa's house again. Of course, with me! "

Lau-Lay's hot gaze turned to Ai-Fa, and she replied, "No."

“My life has finally settled down, and I'm in the middle of inviting Souti's bloodline again. I don't want Ray's house to have to do that."

"Soutie, isn't that all naughty?" I must have been faster to bond with Fa's house! "

It's not early or late, but it's probably the first time that Asta and I have spoken to you and Dali-Saudi intimately.

Rau-Ray turned his gaze toward Gillan-Lillin, groaning "Mugigi."

"Guillain-Lillin! You must be a wise man in Lu's bloodline!" I want you to convince this stubborn man for me! "

"I don't think I'm ever in a position to be called a wise man or anything... but can't I invite the Souti bloodline and the Lau-Rays at the same time?"

And Gillan-Lillin said so with a smile.

"That way, Rau-Ray and his family will be able to deepen their ties with the Souti bloodline, and the burden on the Pharaoh's house will be lightened." As soon as the Souti blood family returns, I wonder if it would be much more difficult for Rau-Ray and the others. "

"Maybe that's what Gillan-Lillin said."

And, Ei = Fa asked me with her gaze, so I decided to return my smile.

"If it's time for dinner, I don't think there will be any particular problem." However, when the number of women using the bedroom becomes five, isn't it a little cramped? "

"Even if it gets a little tight, I won't be able to sleep. Yamil = Ray will also feel uncomfortable with me."

"That's our dialogue, isn't it?" I will not be held responsible for any cracks in my ties with Sweety. "

"Only Yamil shouldn't have such anxiety!" Guillain-Lillin is a wise man after all! Now, I want you to take care of it like that! "

Lau-Ray was a bit of a spoiler, but Ai-Fa added, "But."

"That and this, it all started ten days later." The architect of Jagal leaves Genos in about 10 days, so I want to bond with him for as long as I can. ”

"Oh, you're the architect of Jagal!" Will they have another feast when they leave? "

“Hmm. I'm having a conversation with the parents of my nearby family.”

"I see, I see!" I didn't have a chance to hold a feast with Luu's bloodline after the Hida commotion subsided, so I envy you! "

Lau = Lay looked around as she said so.

"But this night is like a feast!" I'm sure that's what I'm worried about! "

It is true that more than 90 people gathered to enjoy the dinner, so the place was full of enthusiasm and vitality that resembled a feast.

And Donda-Lou stands up and declares, as if she were trying to catch up to it.

"Now it seems that we have finished all the dishes and the sweets, so from now on we shall have a feast. I want you to fully bond with someone you don't usually meet."

And they answered even more to the word of Donda-Ruu.

Today, fruit sake was being prepared in barrels, so many people flock to you with deep dishes. So, most of the people who got the fruit wine came to me and Ei = Fa.

"Ray's parents have already told the two faces, right?" As promised, I want you to turn my turn! "

"No, no, no, no. Isn't that a game on the board?" I haven't spoken enough with Asta yet! "

Rau-Ray was rather amused and ordered the men to prepare for the game on the board.

Parents of nearby families, led by Gaz and Lats, can also be seen here, including Die, Len, Havira, and Dana. Dai and Len were working with Ai Fa to finish off Hida, and Havira and Dana were the ones who had a relationship at Zaza's harvest festival. It seemed like it had become even more fussy since I was able to deepen my interaction than last year.

However, since the order of talking with the humans of the facade was decided by on-board play, Ei = Fa and I were left as if we were in an air pocket.

So I whispered to Ei = Fa.

Hey, how about we take a breath inside now?

Ei = Fa came out with an OK signature by tapping my arm with her elbow.

I told Shmiral-Lillin that I was watching Lau-Ray's disturbances with a smile, and I and Ai-Fa headed out of the chapel.

After climbing a meter or so up the steps, I crawled out to the other side of the fur bars - where the darkness and coolness of the night awaited me.

Although it is by no means cold, the heat in the festival hall was great, so the night breeze feels cooler than usual. And the light of the house in the darkness was very emotional.

"Oh, what a commotion."... but I guess that's proof that you've bonded with a lot of people. "

“Hmm. It was pretty much the same last year and before.”

As he moved a little along the tent of the chapel, Ai-Fa crushed him like that.

"Until then, there were no people who tried to get close to me or my father Gil at the patriarchal meeting." The other patriarchs would have had no choice but to repudiate the Pharaoh's men, because the Sunnis were disagreeing about making the women hunters. "

"Yes, but Ei = Fa was able to take that position with his strength." I don't know if there's anyone who doesn't recognize me as a hunter anymore. "

"Still, there's no reason why so many people would want to come to me."

"No, you can't leave Ai = Fa alone like a hunter with arms."... well, there might even be someone who's crazy enough to ask for a dowry. "

Ei = Fa, who had stopped walking, gently kicked me in the foot, and then sat down in a tent.

While I was sitting next to it, I turned my gaze to the starry sky of the blue and white moon. From beyond the tent, the fever and hustle and bustle of the banquet was felt to be hissing, but the radiance of the heavens was so still that it made me forget it.

"It wasn't like last year, but it was a full-fledged parent-teacher meeting that couldn't be beaten last year."

"Hmm. As Gillan-Lillin said, we are in the middle of a transformation." There will be no end to the problems for a long time to come. ”

If we solve each one of them, we'll live a happier life.

I turned my gaze back from the starry sky above me to Ei = Fa.

Ei = Fa stares at me with a very gentle expression on her face. While I was looking up at the starry sky, I was embarrassed to think that I was being stared at with such a gentle gaze - and I was able to feel even more satisfied.

"After all, it seems that the parent meeting is a day when you can feel the difficulty in particular." I can only bite the joy of meeting you so deeply... except for the Parent Council, it's your birthday. "

“Thank you. It's true that the Parent Council is an annual meeting.”

"Hmm. By welcoming you as my compatriot, the people around the forest have set foot on a very different path." Even though it was decided by all the people around the forest, including the chiefs, you were the first to trigger it. I'm more than proud of it. ”

I'm sure that Eifa had such emotions by giving her thoughts to the past Parent Council. I hardly ever heard of the parents' conference before I came to the forest, but I could easily imagine how barren the Sun family was just being called the elders.

"You've brought great good fortune to the forest."... but that's not why I value you. That's not the only mistake you're making. "

"I didn't mean to make a mistake." I'm also proud to say that Ai = Fa is an outstanding hunter... but even if Ai = Fa is a helpless hunter, it doesn't change my feelings. "

What kind of bullshit is that?

Ei = Fa put her head on my shoulder as she said it in a somewhat sweet voice.

"Today is special." If you go back to the sacrificial hall, you won't be able to rest anymore. "

Roger that, Parent.... by the way, last time, Ei = Fa was cute and drunk. "

Ai = Fa whispered, "It's so sweet," and I started snapping my cheek on my shoulder.

The warmth and sweet scent of Ai = Fa fills my heart. Once away from the noisy place, I could feel the fatigue that had been coming to the meeting for half a day, but it seemed that the presence of Ai = Fa gently enveloped such a lazy feeling.

We were not exposed to arrows in the Parent Council, as we were last year or a year ago - on the contrary, this was the first Parent Council since Fa's behavior was recognized as correct. Even so, the people of all the clans could not easily spend a year, and the decision of last year was not overturned. After all, today was supposed to be an unforgettable and important day for us.

(Next year and the next, if I could just sit down with Ai Fa at the Parents' Council and reconfirm that we have come, there would be no such thing as happiness.)

With such a bite, I leaned my cheek against Ei = Fa's head, which was placed on my shoulder.

In the sacrificial hall, how many parents were fighting fierce battles while playing on the board --- in the silence unrelated to such a commotion, I and Ai = Fa were unlimitedly happy.
