1230 Wedding Day (2) - Admission

In this way, all the banquet dishes in the fourth half of the descent were completed safely.

The feast begins one hour later. Thanks to your hard work since yesterday morning, you have been able to leave that much room.

However, I can't do it so slowly. After explaining how to share the food, we had to cleanse ourselves in the bathhouse and change into a banquet costume.

"Well then, I'll see you later!" I'm looking forward to the taste of banquet cuisine! "

Princess Dershare, who remained in the kitchen until the end, left her words behind and left with Nicolas. Pratica is with us in the bathhouse. It was Ravitz's eldest brother who spilled the word "jeez" as he walked along the corridor guided by his niece.

"I've only been standing around since this morning." That's enough, your body's going to fall apart. "

"Yes, but it seemed very significant to me that I could spend a long time with people from different clans."

And it was Gazran-Rutim, the one who was relied upon. For Ravitz's eldest brother, we were once part of the Crusade of the Evil Gods. Ravitz's eldest brother snorted "Fufu" as he glanced up at Gazlan-Rutim with a sharp look.

"And after that, I'll have a thoughtful exchange with the nobles." I don't think people like you will enjoy it either. "

“Yes, but isn't that the same for you?”

"It's unexpected to be left with a weirdo like you."... but I'm looking forward to seeing what kind of roots Banam's nobles have. "

While exchanging such words, I arrived at the bathhouse.

Camuas-Josh and the others could not be seen from noon, but according to the maiden, they had already finished their dress and waited. They must be enjoying their stay in Banam in that way. And so were the nobles of Genos, who were not seen today.

After cleansing herself in the bathing hall with the year, she dresses up with the help of her niece the same way as she did the day before yesterday.

What was being prepared today was a Selva-style banquet costume. It is a style in which a long one-piece dress is worn without sleeves from the top of the long one-piece dress, and furthermore, a necklace and arm decoration are worn. Just a month ago, it was a new place in my memory that was brought out at the feast for the opening of the portrait held by Tikatras. At that time, a banquet costume was prepared only for me and Dalí-Sauthy, so it seemed that I had put my sleeve through this since the dinner party to see His Highness Dakarmas away.

(Speaking of which, this is a traditional banquet costume of the Western kingdom. I'm sure it's a good fit for the banner feast.)

And since it was also used for a glorious feast, the members who accompanied us on this trip were roughly tailored. The only man in the crowd who was unprepared was Ji-Maam, but he said that it was a spin for Dick-Dom.

"In five days, it seems that it is difficult to prepare a new banquet costume." If Dom's parents hadn't worn this banquet costume, I wouldn't have been allowed to accompany them. ”

Ji-Maam, wearing an unfamiliar banquet costume, said so with a bitter smile.

"Oh, we received this banquet costume as a celebration of the tournament, but Ji-Mahm, who was a contender, was seated in a costume on the edge of the forest." But the banquet costume suits you well, too. "

Hmm. I don't think such a flashy outfit would suit a big man like me.

Certainly, this banquet costume is quite shiny because it has stylish embroidery all over.

But I was able to say "no" with a flattery.

"I think it really suits the hunters around the forest." I used to think that a hunter on the edge of a good-looking forest would look like a warrior or something that would appear in a fairy tale. "

It was Mora-Naham who once made me feel that way.

In addition, this time, there are all the hunters with splendid physique: Ziza-Lou, Gazlan-Rutim, Dalí-Sauthi, Georgian-Zaza. Of course, this outfit suited the eldest brothers of Rud-Lou, Zei-Din, and Ravitz, but the Ji-Maams were also flooded with different and majestic styles.

“Well, I'd like to ask you one last time.”

And the son-in-law started wearing a thin coat of arms over all of us. It would be a landmark for an aristocrat to show his status. In Genos it was vermilion, but in bananas it was bright blue.

After that, we wait for Ravitz's eldest brother to be able to grease his puffy hair, and we are guided from the refreshment room to the refreshment room.

Camua-Josh and Zashma, who were waiting for you, looked at each other with admiration.

"This is such a fine figure." It feels like you've been welcomed by a group of exotic royals. "

"That's too much to say."... you were dressed as a martial artist? "

"Yes, this is the kind of attire that the [Guardian] deserves when he makes a living."

The Camus-Josh [Guardian] party was a familiar samurai dress for the feast of Genos. Designed to match the uniforms of my hometown, it's beautiful pure white, so it's no better than a banquet costume. Camouflage-Josh and Zashma had the same beard as usual, but that kind of wildness matched this dress quite well.

Besides, it was Late.

Since Late was originally a boy with a sharp face, he was a prince himself when he dressed like that. His adult and quiet atmosphere may add to the aristocratic elegance. The impression was that Camusia-Josh and the others had collapsed somewhat, making them noble commanders who could obey their battle-scarred men.

"This is more and more, I can't wait for the female formation to appear." Ai = Fa and Reina = Luu must be so beautiful. ”

As Camua-Josh was approaching, Ziza-Lou looked at him with thin eyes like a thread.

Camua-Josh, I think you know how to do things around the forest...

"Yes, yes, it was a good thing you praised the opposite sex in disgust." I'm also trying to mobilize all my reason and keep my mouth shut. "

Then, the door was knocked at the right time. The women who had completed the call were guided.

Eifa, Reina-Lou, Rimi-Lou, Toure-Din, Sufila-Zaza, Malfira-Naham, Faye-Beim, Souti's youngest sister, Rutim's congregation, Maham's congregation, and Pratika-all in traditional Selva banquet costumes. Camua-Josh said, "Oh!" Then he shouted, and then he revealed his admiration with only his expression.

And it's the same with me. It would be gorgeous if such a large crowd of women combined their banquet costumes, and I was taken away by the beauty of Ei = Fa alone, as every time.

Ai = Fa was also preparing a specially decorated banquet costume at the feast held by Tikatras, so it would be as crackling as I would wear this banquet costume. I felt like my breath was stuffed by that glossy figure.

Women's banquet costumes are similar in basic design to men's costumes. The dress is a one-piece, loose-fitting outfit with a top that looks like a sleeveless gown. However, the luxury of embroidery and ornaments is not comparable to that of men - Ai = Fa suits this banquet costume.

Is it because of the difference in physique that Ei = Fa feels special? Ai = Fa was the tallest of the crowd of women gathered here, and because she is trained as a hunter, the undulation of the body line is most distinguished. Besides, there are many well-styled crowds of women around the forest, but Ei = Fa may have developed the latissimus dorsi and greater temporalis muscles, so the constriction of the waist was more prominent - and this banquet costume was made of extremely thin fabric, so the body line was emphasized.

Even though it has a low-exposure design, it is only wide open at the chest. With a loose U-shaped collar, the chest is revealed to a fairly contrasting line. And Ei = Fa was raised to the base of the pectoralis major muscle, and the ups and downs at the base of her chest were out of line.

After all, such a fluffy banquet costume may relieve the sharpened atmosphere of Ai-Fa to some extent. In other banquet costumes, it is Ei = Fa that mixes glossy and ruggedness, but in this banquet costume, the glossy and rugged appear to be slightly increased.

However, since the sharpness does not diminish, the unique charm of Ei = Fa is fully preserved. Even though it is so graceful and elegant, it is a beauty of Ei = Fa that is completely free from bruises and full of vitality.

The golden brown hair with loose waves is decorated with flowers of seven colors, and the large open heart is decorated with silver, and the blue stone ornaments are each shining. On the fabric of the banquet costume in pale green, the brown skin stood out even more vividly - even today, the banquet costume Ai = Fa was incredibly beautiful.

"... you were in your banquet costume today, too."

And then Ei-Fa and Shizushi came closer to me, silencing Camua-Josh and Zashma's gaze.

While maintaining a sharp expression, those blue eyes subtly check my chest. In such a case, Ei = Fa will have to check the necklace he gave me again so that I can always focus on Ei = Fa's necklace. When I saw the usual satisfying light floating in those eyes, I was going to raise my chest even higher.

"No, I'm not." I won't say two words if you respect the traditions around the forest! I wonder how to diffuse this kind of thoughts! "

Camua-Josh laughed in her face and said like that. Zashma is also shaking his head, saying, "That's absolutely right."

"This guy was really out of his mind." Normally, if the civilians were to wear such fine banquet costumes, they would look more or less untidy... but I'm sure this is one of the most impatient people in the forest. "

Crave? You're not being brave enough to put on a banquet costume, are you?

When Rudo-Ruu clasped his mouth like that, Zashma twisted her neck.

"I couldn't find another word, but I don't think it's that far off." The people around the forest have a fine roots, both men and women, so you can't lose to a fine banquet costume. "

"Oh, that's weird to say." I wonder if the wild style of the people on the edge of the forest is weaving a strange harmony with the aristocratic banquet costume. "

Camua-Josh was covering Zashma like that.

I don't disagree with you. It may be that the intense charm of Ai = Fa is greatly involved in my personal thoughts, but other crowds of women are also flooded with a kind of unique charm.

Reina = Lu and Sufila = Zaza, among others, are better-looking, but even women who do not have stronger personalities than these women, and women who are still young, are not beaten by the charm. Rimi-Lou, Toure-Din, Sautti's youngest sister, and the women of Rutim are as cute as some fairy, and the women of Malfira-Naham, Fei-Behm, and Maham have a different presence than the ladies they see at the feast. In particular, Fei-Beim and the others had a square face like their fathers, their bodies were quite strong, and they had nothing to do with feminine elegance - but they still suited fluffy Selva traditional banquet costumes.

After all, it may be connected to the eldest brothers of Ji-Maam, Mora-Naham, and Ravitz. In combination with them, the appearance was too harsh to be considered handsome, and it seemed that such banquet costumes and decorative items were not suitable, but they were not only dressed without difficulty, but also brought out their unique charm and presence.

As Camuas-Josh says, the people of the forests have a wild style and vitality. Does it make an unusual harmony by wearing a mild banquet costume?

As far as I was concerned, it was also the unique charm and harmony of the forest people living between the wild world and the stone city.

(Besides, the people of Gerd are part of the huntsman clan, so I guess that's the same thing.)

Pratica often attended feasts in the castle towns of Genos, but it was probably the first time she had worn a banquet costume for women. His golden brown hair, just like Ai = Fa, was hanging around his waist, and his figure was as elegant as the others.

In addition, Pratica is a beautiful east-facing people with impressive cut eyes and high nose bridges. She may still be 14 years old, but she has a back length of about 165 centimeters and has a supple physique, so she can't believe that she is such a young person. However, her chest was as refreshing as Lara = Lou's, but her charm was not compromised by anything.

"...... Asta, I can't help but feel ashamed to be seen like that."

And while Pratica's black cheeks were bleeding, her purple eyes gazed at me. At the same time, Ei = Fa had a keen eye from a close distance, so I was in a lot of panic.

"I looked at it and apologized." If you dress like Ai = Fa, you'll look more and more like a sister. ”

"...... I can't help but feel ashamed of that word."

Instead of avoiding confusion in her expression, Pratica twisted herself shyly. That's why Ei = Fa hit me on the head so hard.

Hmm. The Odifia necklace looks good on your banquet costume.

Georg = Zaza called out casually, and Toole = Din nodded "Yes" happily as his cheeks blushed somewhat.

The other faces were roughly gathered together with the blood relatives and exchanged words in a gentle way. The feast of Rutim and Mamm's ladies might be their first feast, but it didn't seem so disturbing. It was the usual thing for Malfira-Naham to wake up, and Sautti's younger sister seemed to be enjoying herself, and everyone seemed to be waiting for the feast to begin in peace.

But even if the bell for the fifth and a half minute of the descent, which was supposed to be the beginning of the feast, was sounded, it was difficult to call.

As the time gets deeper, the interior gets dimmer and dimmer. After a further quarter of a minute, the surname entered to light the candlestick, and the representative Dali-Sauthi became suspicious.

"It seems that the time limit for starting the feast has already been exceeded, but is the schedule delayed?"

"No, guests have already begun to enter the ceremony hall of Eila. This admission is expected to take about a quarter of a minute, so please be patient.”

"What? So, just stepping into the room will take half a minute?"

“Yes, we are in the lead, so the order of entry is final.”

Leaving such words with a complimentary bow, the son-in-law left the room.

Several candlesticks were lit on the walls and on the tabletop, but not all of them were illuminated in this large room. In such thin light, we had to look at each other in the face.

“Well, I guess it's the last of them, but if you're the last of the 200 invitees, it's going to take so long.”

When Camua-Josh said so, Georg-Zaza shrugged her shoulders in horror.

"Nevertheless, it's ridiculous to just step into a room for half a minute." The feast that brought together 300 people in Genos shouldn't have taken long. "

"I guess that's the traditional Banam way." I can't rush it, so let's just relax and wait. "

"But" was the voice of Ziza-Lou.

"When we finally step into the room, we will never know the human nature of the people gathered there. Most of them are supposed to be strangers today, so it's quite inconvenient."

“I see. Well, the higher the person's status, the later the person's order of entry will be... means that the people who entered first will come around to say hello.”

"Are you saying that we are in a position to receive greetings?" This is strange, even though you're an aristocrat. "

“I'm sure Lord Wellhead would like to entertain the people around the forest with the greatest courtesy. I think we just need to be in good shape.”

While saying so, Camua-Josh laughed gently.

After that, my maiden name came again. This time, it is a small surname to guide the entrance. It seemed like about ten minutes had passed, but I managed to get in before the six-minute bell rang.

We move from thin and bright rooms to thin and bright corridors.

The sun is already setting, so it is deep blue outside the window. The majestic corridor of Banam Castle was vaguely illuminated by the light of the thin candlestick - the appearance of a group of people on the edge of the forest wearing banquet costumes seemed more like a resident of myths and fairy tales.

It was guided between the corridor and the hall.

It was a large room with a row of 24 people, where something sweet and incense-like was burning.

Hmm. It doesn't look poisonous, but it smells like shit.

Ravitz's eldest brother whispered carefully, and Zashma, who was beside him, whispered.

"This is the fragrance of flowers and leaves, which is the symbol of the goddess Eila." Even for a wedding in town, burning this is a classic custom. However, because it's a grass that only grows in cooler lands, I've never seen it in Genos. "

I see. This is also the custom of another country.

Ravitz's eldest brother answered in that way, and one of the maidens approached us.

Well then, first of all, [Guardian] and Gerd would like to join us.

Four people, Camua-Josh and Late, Zashma and Pratica, were led into the passage at the back of the room. Later, Ravitz, Naham and Baym were called.

The format of the clan on the edge of the forest must have been communicated in advance. Even in Genos, it is more or less the case that highly-formed humans are later turned around.

However, this time, six people from Rutim, Mamm, and Zaza were called before me and Ei = Fa. Apparently, the group of me, Reina-Ru and Tuul-Din called by the nomination were set up in front of the clan leader Dali-Sauthi. Of course, Ziza = Luu and the others were silently watching over Banam without complaining about the way it was.

After the group of Zaza, Rudo-Lou and Rimi-Lou, Ziza-Lou and Reina-Lou were guided. Zey-Din and Tour-Din followed, and then finally I and Eifa.

"The people near the forest, the patriarch of Fa's house, Ai Fa, Asta's family."

Following the toucan's niece's voice, I and Ai Fa both stepped into the Great Hall.

The Great Hall of Banam Castle is a thin brightness that doesn't differ much from the next time it has been waiting. It was a very strange feeling that there were 200 people gathered in such a place.

(I wonder if the wedding feast will also proceed in such a thin light. If that's the case... it's a lot of surprises.)

That's how I thought about it, in an applause struck at a strange pace.

The exclamation in the gap of the applause is probably because the beauty of Ei = Fa stands out in any light. With a small light source lit up on the wall, Ei = Fa's figure was mysteriously shining.

Ei = Fa with the eyes of the huntsman sensed the whereabouts of our compatriots, so we made our way to the back of the Great Hall without hesitation. In the meantime, Dalí = Souti and the last sister of the sub-family were also called, and these 24 people were able to enter the room safely.

We gather in the back of the Great Hall to watch the entrance. All that remained was for us to come with us to Genos.

Cavalier Davias, six members of the Earls' family, Vermes, a diplomat in the capital, Princess Dell 'Escher, a royalty in the south, and three members of the Marquis of Genos. It was difficult to check because the lights were scarce, but today everyone except Princess Dell Share wore traditional Selva banquet costumes.

"The number of guests attending today's feast will be no less. Next, you'll be admitted to a wedding ceremony today.”

The clear voice of the maiden echoed through the corners of the Great Hall.

"Marquis Banam, seventh place in title succession, Master Wellhead... Baron Ruamat, First Son, Corfir... you're in."

The double doors behind us will open wide.

And the moment we turned around -- suddenly, the great hall was wrapped in a dazzling glow. Little surnames and maids lined up along the walls lit up the candlesticks.

In addition, a large flame burns from the center of the Great Hall. Until now it was dim and unclear, but there was a round stone fence and firewood piled up in the middle of it.

The firewood must have been soaked with oil. Your flame gushed more vigorously than the fire of the feast ceremony on the edge of the forest, and most of the darkness in the Great Hall was wiped out.

Then, in an instant, the bride and groom walk along the flower path wrapped in a great shine.

Wellhead is a crimson banquet costume that reflects the twinkling of a flame, and Corfir is a pure white banquet costume. Both were in the style of the Selva tradition, but their luxury was not comparable to that of the attendees. Both Wellhead's and Corfir's banquet costumes were embroidered like flames swirling with gold threads all over their bodies.

In addition, both wore golden crowns, Welheide wore fine spears for ceremonial purposes, and Corfir held a silver glittering chalice.

A crimson jewel shines like a flame in the crown of his head. Crimson and pure white, gold and silver - what the two of them are wearing seems to consist of only those shades. And because it was illuminated by the red flames, the eyes and heart that were familiar with the ancient and heavy appearance of Banam Castle seemed to be amazed and disappointed.

I noticed that the surroundings were surrounded by the applause of Thunderbolt. So I was dumbfounded, and I was in a hurry to snap my hands.

Wellheid's expression was sharp, and Corfea's expression was crunchy, as she proceeded along each flower path. As a result, they circled around the huge flames burned in the center and then danced back into the back of the Great Hall, standing on a platform set at a height of only one meter.

In the meantime, the candlestick seems to have been added, and the great hall will be enveloped in even more radiance. It was now bright enough to beat the castles and palaces of Genos.

However, the main light source in Genos is the chandelier installed on the ceiling. Low-smoke oil lights the chandelier, which is made of Sims' vitrified glass, for a clear glow.

However, such a splendid lighting device must have been developed only in recent years. We don't know how old it is, but at least it's been since we started trading with Sims.

This Banam Castle is more than 500 years old, and there is no trace of renovation in the main hall. Anyway, candlesticks and lanterns placed on walls and tables, the flames that burn in the center of the room are sure to be the way they are transmitted from that time on.

This is my first sight in a castle where I burned the flames of a ritual fire.

The flames are still burning vigorously, surrounded by a hip height fence. And so that black smoke could not spread into the room, the maidens loosely asked for a big fan from all sides.

The black smoke reaches the ceiling.

When I looked up, there was a huge hole in the ceiling.

I'm sure they're usually blocked by some means. Otherwise, the rain alone will make this great hall a watering hole.

Compared to the sophisticated castles and palaces of Genos, it is too coarse and primitive.

However, I'm sure that this is how the wedding feast was performed in the past 500 years or so. Thinking like that, I couldn't help but feel my chest screaming.

It is only natural that the night should be dark, and the likeness of the castle of Banam, which does not shine brightly, is preferable, as Ai-Fa once said.

However, in the bright light as during the day, I felt that Ei = Fa's eyes staring at Wellheid and Corfea's figure were filled with only a very pure feeling of blessing.

With great amazement, we met for a wedding feast at Banam Castle.
