Two days after the architect invited him to a dinner on the edge of the forest, it was the 14th of the green moon.

It was the fifth tasting day, the day of the confectionery tasting by selected people from the forestside, the station town, and the castle town.

There is only one unusual arrangement on this day.Until now, it was the start of the evening, but only this time it was the start of ZTT.

This was, of course, because the content was a tasting party for confectionery.It was said that there were many people in the castle town who ate sweet sweets as snacks for lunch, but there was no custom to complete dinner with sweets.

"If you've finished your dinner with just a snack, you can't afford to eat the nourishment that humans need!"You must never harm a healthy life for a tasting party! ”

That's what His Highness Dakarmas said.And the valve was shaved off quite a lot at the edge of the forest.

"It is certainly not possible to complete the dinner with confectionery."For now, if you had taken the sweets made by six people, you would have filled your stomach a lot with them...... Dakarmas is a reasonable person, and you were lucky. "

Even Ei = Fa used to say that.

Therefore the meeting time of the tasting meeting on that day was set to half an hour before Jomtien.At that time, they gathered at the gate and came to the Red Bird Palace with ease.

However, it is with respect to the person who will assume the role of the examiner.The people preparing the sweets had to finish their work by Jomtien, so they almost headed for the castle town in the first place in the morning.

"I feel sorry for Rimi-Lou and Toure-Din."... maybe the most unfortunate thing is the men who accompany it. "

Yeah, but Rudo = Ru is so early to get up, and if it's for her cute little sister, I don't think she's going to complain.

And today, I decided to work on a new attempt.

He took Gaz and the women of Lats as his substitutes, and decided to dare to do business in the stall.

The number of people who are headed by me will be in a position where they can barely get involved in business, but there is no inconvenience in getting a job, and in the first place, it is a date where they want to go to the castle town and have delicious sweets.In addition, you should be able to return to the station town just after the end of the working hours of the stall, so you will be able to stand up for the return of the stall.In this case, it depended on thinking that the burden would be small for both of them who had not yet taken charge.

By the way, I, Yun-Sudra, Marfila-Naham, Rey-Matua, and Faye-Beam and Naham's youngest sister are going to go to the castle as judges this time.I and Marfila-Naham, who had been awarded a medal at the last tasting, were allowed to accompany their cooking assistants.

Excluding these members, the next long and rewarding career is that of the Rats and Gaz crowd.In particular, the ladies of Rats were older than me, very calm but full of determination and action, and had the strength not to be disturbed by a little gentle trouble.

In addition, even in the Luu family, it is necessary to dare to do business in the stalls.

It was the role of Rimi-Lou and Lara-Lou to make the sweets, and the role of the judges was the role of the women of Reina-Lou, Maim, and Rey.Reina = Lou and Lara = Lou, the partitioners, were out of the way, but they were still reliant on their strength.And it came to pass, that Zwei-lutime and the women of Ming were given to the charge.

Therefore, only the confectionery stalls in Tour-Din will be closed.

Tour-Din has been a castle town since the morning, so there's no other way.There was no better way to hold back the people of the bunker town who were looking forward to Toole-Dinn's confectionery.

Therefore, I also decided to go to work as usual until the meeting time.

The difference is that Ai-Fa and Dari-Sauthi also descend into the city together.After finishing the tasting, Eifa and the others met with Vera's parents to work on the Gibba hunt.

I do my usual street cleaning work, go to Luwu's house on the usual street, and go down to the camp town on the usual street.To borrow the stall, a woman who was usually helping with the cafeteria at night was waiting to entertain her until [Kimusu's Tail Pavilion].

"Today, Levi is going to the castle town, and I'm going to help him with the stall business."Everyone around the forest said, "Thank you very much."

Even today, Levi and Terrier-Mass appear before the tasting panel.After that, Lars and this woman were talking about doing the stall work.

"I have no idea what's good or bad about confectionery."Levi would have done the same, but it would be a good study for a young man. ”

Lars, who was always calm, smiled as he said so.

When we set off for the stall area, the inn's stall village was already quite busy.Like us, you're the only one who can do business with someone who's in charge.If you look at an inn that originally only served as a judge, today would be the most rushed day.

If we get to the space, we'll start doing business.

When I got past the first peak in the morning, I was ready to go.

"Well then, I'll let you get out of here."We apologize for the inconvenience, and thank you for your understanding. ”

"Yes, I'll take care of it," replied the ladies of the Rats, with the usual gentle expression.This is the kind of person who can feel the ease.

With a shout at the Gaz women, I dive into the loading platform with Levi.We need to get dressed before we head for the gate.There was no need to worry about peeking, but Ai-Fa and Dalí-Sauthy stood at the entrance of the luggage carrier as gatekeepers.

"How's Levi doing?"I wonder if I can use the castle-style downtown? "

"Hmm, that makes it difficult."After all, you can't waste ingredients, so you can't get your hands on a treat. "

"I see. Chum chum pickles seem like a good ingredient for ramen."That said, I haven't done it on my own yet. "

"Yeah. Before we do that, we're not having a tasting."...... Well, you can't aim for a medal, but as a [Kimusu's Tail Pavilion] person, you can't be embarrassed. "

Having said that, Levi smiled like him.It seems that the tasting after two days is not too heavy.

When we left the loading platform after completing the reconnection, Yumi, Luia, and Terrier-Mouth gathered under Eifa.Of course, they're also semi-decorated in the castle town.

"Hey! It's finally time for a tasting of sweets! I feel so cracked because I've been free for more than 10 days!"

"However, the people around the forest invited the royal family to the forest in the meantime."I thought you didn't have time to rest, did you? "

“That's right, I think it's a very fulfilling day.”

After a while, Yun-Sudra and Reina-Ru also appeared from another loading platform.Faye-Behm, Naham's youngest sister, and Ray's girlfriend, who will be the judges' first seats, are all brand-new clothes that have been arranged in advance.Seeing the figure, Yumi's eyes shone with "hee".

"You look really good!" If you take off your hair, doesn't it look even better? "

"It is ordained that the women shall untie their hair only at feasts and bathing and sleeping."

It was Faye-Behm who responded like that.She looked like a father with a horny face, always an uninteresting look, but she certainly suited the costume of a castle town that reminded her of a stylish dress.

"The people around the forest will dress up in any outfit!"If there's someone you're worried about, you'll definitely fall in love again! "

"Yu, Yu-mi! If you are thinking of dowry to the forest side, I think you should learn to behave appropriately!"

"What the hell! It doesn't matter to me!"

Yumi and Faye-Behm grew red and scattered their faces.

With that, four figures, large and small, approached us.The proportions are half the size, and they are all dressed in Jaguar semi-dress with high collar.

“Oh, thank you, everyone, you were together.”

“Hmm. We're aiming for the same place at the same time, so even those who don't like it will encounter it like this.”

It was Baran who said that, and of course Ardath, Dells, and Wadz's face.The two big guys are laughing at each other, and Dells is laughing at each other.

"Ah, you guys." You look tired too! "

When Yumi casually called out, he snorted, "Hmph" again.

"It's not that much of a fuss."It is nothing but annoyance to be summoned to such a limit.Unlike somebody else, we're here for work. "

"Haha, I'm forced to stay even though I don't have anything to do."If you envy me, shall I take my place? "

With a wicked smile on his face, Dells said so.His work was finished when Miso was delivered, but he has been in Genos for almost half a month.

"Don't be ridiculous. What could you possibly have done to leave your work behind and play the game?If you sifted the hammer, there would be more holes in the house. "

Oh, I see. Well, people like you who are ungrateful are pedestrians, and they have a job worthy of each person.

Yo, Dells and I had a polar look on our faces.

I get a little worried, and I sneak a whisper to Ardath.

Is that how you two have always been these days?

"Yeah. Looks like you're getting more and more talkative."Well, let's think of it as a sign that the ditch has been filled. "

Ardath laughed cheerfully and said, "Now!”he raised his voice.

"If you're nervous, you're going to be late for your appointment."If you're ready, let's go. "

We made our way to the castle gate on foot.

As a precautionary measure, a lorry is being pulled, but the number of passengers is not enough, so Ai = Fa is pulling the reins.This is a precaution when the end time of the tasting is delayed and you cannot rendezvous with the stalls.Rimi-Roux and Toure-Din also headed for the castle town in their respective wagons, so the legs on the way back were supposed to do something about it.

There are many familiar faces on the streets, which increase as the gate approaches.Today, more than 30 innkeepers are invited.

"It's as crowded as ever!" How many people will be gathering today? "

"Oh, Toul-din said there was only one more than last time, so there should be 112 of them."

112 people! Who's got one more? "

"It was me, Reina = Lou, and Malfira = Naham who were awarded the medal at the last tasting."However, I was also turned from the castle town and the station town to the side of making two, so there was a lot of people. "

"Ah, I see! I was on the side of making astas, so I didn't have enough people!"But even though we were like 90 people when we were there, we were so overwhelmed. "

"Yeah. Back then, there weren't any dudes either."With every tasting, more people were allowed to accompany their assistants. "

While exchanging such words, I arrived at the castle gate.

It is the first time in eleven days that a tasting party has been held, but it is the first time in nine days that I go to the castle town because I have been having a sampling party in between.Even so, the faces of the camping town were still like children who enjoyed excursions.

Well done, Asta-sama.

And when I got the pass and headed toward the Totos car, there was a figure of Gardel that had been there for the first time in nine days.As usual, he had a frivolous expression on his harsh face.

(Speaking of which, Gardell was worried that the royal family would take me to Jagal.)

At a feast the other day, His Highness Dakarmas asked me to become the cook of the Mansion in the Royal Capital.It could have been turned down on the spot, and since Por-Earth told me not to listen in the city, it probably hadn't reached Gardell's ears.

(I'm not going anywhere, so don't worry.)

After laughing at Gardell with that in mind, I got into the Totos car.

If I arrived at the Red Bird Palace, only the Huntsman of the Guardians would be available.There were only three escorts for the day: Ai-Fa, Dari-Sauthi, and Ziza-Ru.Rimi-Lou should be taking Rud-Lou, and Tour-Din should be taking Zay-Din.

Naham's youngest sister, dressed up as a cute castle town, waited for Ai = Fa to change her clothes, and waved herself.As she is still on her second visit, she will be distracted by the mere fact that she is in the castle town.However, the eyes were sparkling, and it was clear that it was an exaltation in a good sense.

Ray's ladies, in the same position, are having a pleasant conversation with Mime.Is this the bloodline of the blood of Lu, who does nothing?In particular, the women of the Ray family had the impression that they had very strong roots, as far as Rau-Ray's family and Ulu-Ray-Lilin were concerned.

Yun-Sudra and Rey-Matua are usually calm, and recently, Malfira-Naham has also become more or less calm.Faye-Behm hasn't had a sticky face, either, because he's a judge today.

With that in mind, Reina = Lou was gazing at the void without trying to talk to anyone.I was a little curious about the look of it, so I decided to leave the conversation and call out.

"What's the matter, Reina = Lou?"Even though it's a confectionery tasting today, you've got a very serious face. "

"Huh? I'm sorry. I was just thinking..."

Reina-Lou smiled vaguely.

Reina-Lou had yet to decide what kind of food to serve at the tasting the day after tomorrow.

At this and the next tasting, it is not said that Gerd ingredients should be used.Since this would be the last tasting session, it was communicated that we would like each person to prepare a dish that they were proud of.Moreover, since we do not serve food just by the number of the forest side, it is probably not necessary to be so conscious of the wearing of the sacrifice.If it wasn't a similar dish, it wouldn't have cut off the excitement.

(But there are no such constraints, so I wonder if you're worried extra about it)

Me and Malfira-Naham have already decided what kind of food to serve.Marfila-Naham had no choice because she only had two original culinary repertoires, and I was finally able to set my mind on the night she invited you to dinner.So only Reina = Ru was left to worry about.

(Looking at Reina = Luu, the food served at the last tasting was the latest, and it must have been the best.Other than that, I've been using it at the Noki-nomi stall... and I'm naturally worried about it.)

While I was looking for words to call Reina-Lou, Ai-Fa returned.I woke up like a martial artist.

Well then, I will guide you to the venue.

An unfamiliar surname was the guide today.Sheila and Chiffon-Cher stayed with their masters.

The great hall of the venue is busy for the first time in 11 days.

There are more than 30 castle town chefs and campus town officials, 17 other invitees, and 9 people from the forestside Kamado-except for the noble ones, there are nearly 100 people.

"Ah, here it is!" Ai = Fa and the others, thank you for your hard work! "

Yumi, who had been guided to the Great Hall earlier, waved her hand.It was still Roy and Siri = Row who were joining you.

"Hey, it's been a long time... but until then, I've been putting my face together for a few days, so I don't feel cracked."

Roy was doing as well as ever.

Siri = Rowe's expression tightened as usual.

But there was no bozu on the spot.It seems that Bozu often takes different actions at the tasting.

(Perhaps you're still giddy with Siri = Rowe)

Bozuzu has also been awarded a medal, so he will compete with his master Vulcas again at the tasting the day after tomorrow.Approximately humans should have regarded this tasting as meaningful, but perhaps Vulcan disciples were the only ones left with some negative factors.

"Well, I wonder what the outcome will be today."To be honest, I don't see the future at all. ”

When Roy said that, Ray-Matua laughed innocently, "Ahaha."

"I haven't even had a cup of snack yet, so it's only natural that I can't see the future?"

"Hmm. If you look at me today, I don't think anybody would want to give out crude sweets."The head chef of Genos Castle, the head chef of Count D'Aleim's house, the "Arrow's Breast Pavilion", the "Long Ears Pavilion of Randall", and Tuul-Din and Rimi-Lou?Once again, you look amazing. "

"Huh? Are you sure that you were the first to taste the sweets of the innkeepers at a tasting?"Are you still so praised? "

"If they eat such sweets, they'll have to appreciate it."Even in the castle town, there must be no one who can count enough sweets. "

The picture of Roy and Rey-Matua exchanging words in a friendly manner is quite fresh.

As usual, Yumi was clinging to Siri-Row on the top of the Buddha.

"As usual, you have a hard face!"Are you aware of Reina-Lou and Malfira-Naham?What kind of attitude do you have? Doesn't that change the outcome of the flavor comparison?Don't fool around, just get along! "

"Servant, that's really not why--"

And when Siri = Rowe's face turned red, a lingering bell sounded.

The door opens with the declaration of his maiden name, and noble people enter.As usual, there were 18 of them -- 19 of them were Vermes, who didn't have the right to vote.

His Highness Dakarmas and Princess Del Share lead the way, followed by the members of the mission.Robros finally spoke carefully at the feast near the forest, and I think that he was able to solve the concerns within accordingly, but it was difficult to extrapolate his heart from the strict face.

The Marquis family and the Count family are making solemn steps with the same faces.After all, just because it was a tasting party for sweets didn't seem to mean changing roles with the lady.However, Odifia, who walks shrewdly about her mother, feels as if she is shaking her transparent tail as soon as possible.

"Thank you for your patience."We will now begin today's tasting. ”

The moderator, Polar Earth, proclaimed so with a smoother expression.

“First, I'd like to introduce you to six cooks who prepared today's treats.”

When the trolleys were pushed, the nieces, six cooks, and six cooking assistants entered the room.

Tour-din and Limi-Roux are cute apron dresses, while Lido's ladies and Lara-Roux are white cooking suits.Later, one beat later, Rud-Ruu and Zei-Din, who wore the martial artist's service, also appeared.

Dia and Yang look calm as usual.

The owner of [Randall's Breaststone Pavilion] had a somewhat nervous expression, and the chef's turn for [Arrow's Budding Pavilion] was on the top of the Buddha.The assistant, her tall daughter, was advancing without any difficulty.

Certainly, these are the confectioners of Genos, including the Forest Side.

Although it seems to me that the power of Tour-Din stands out, it may be because I was watching it grow in the closest place to where it usually happens.Not to mention Limi-Lew, Jan and Dia, the people of [Arrow's Breaking Pavilion] and [Randall's Long Ears Pavilion] were able to create such wonderful sweets that I could not beat.

(I don't want to settle for a flavor match... but if you can win with this face, that would be amazing.)

As I remembered that, the tasting of the day finally began.
