From the meeting of rapprochement in Castle Town, two days later - it is the fifth day of the Black Moon.

When we got to the settlement of Lou, there was already a little noise going on there.

Fermes, the king's diplomat, came to visit.

The day before, of course, it had been communicated to that effect, but that was why it could not have dispelled all surprises and tensions.

First, at the entrance to the settlement, a significant number of Totos cars and the guards who had been on it were seen.

It is the same sight as when Refraia attended the feast. Even if you trusted the people by the woods, you can't fail to consider the danger of being attacked by an outside outlaw. On the spot, the guards stood in a sloppy line about whether to reach thirty.

When you step inside the settlement, watched by those guards, there is a crowd in front of the main house. As me and Yun-Sudra approached each luggage car as they pulled, the pedestrian walls split and I saw what the Fermes looked like.

"Oh, Asta. It's been two days. Looks magnificent, above all."

Fermes, brilliant and with a poor girl's temporal appearance, smiles with a grin. It was both Jemd and Melfried, the samurai officers of his squire, who were on the left and right side of it.

Because both of those names have such a robust physique, Fermes looks so idyllic. And this was my first time facing each other standing, but Fermes still seemed a few centimeters smaller than me.

Fermes weaves a coat of good quality over a light gray long coat that has been wrapped around him before. But the hood had been snagged on its back, so its beautiful surface was unsparingly exposed under a bright day.

I guess the people in the settlements are so bothered by the fact that Fermes still has an unusual beauty. Now if Fermes were a woman, he might never have been surprised so far, but he is a clean man. Even the woodland people, who are accustomed to martial arts men, were wondered if the surprise was one.

"We just arrived, too. You have just deposited your sword, as you learned by the woods."

Across the street from Fermes and others who state it that way, I saw Mother Meer Ray with three long swords. I don't think I can handle a knife on Fermes, so I guess two of them belong to Melfrid. He is a duplicitous user.

"You are welcome, nobles. Chieftain Donda will be here any minute, so please wait."

Meer Ray's mother was just a piercing rock, smiling without looking frightened. On both sides of it are Jizza-Luu and Lud-Luu, who lowered their swords.

When the back door opens without waiting, Donda-Lou and Lara-Lou appear from there. Donda-Lou often sleeps near Jomtien, so I guess Lara-Lou went to wake him up.

"You kept me waiting. I think," Let's have it fulfilled. "

"Yes, I would like to see the people by the woods doing as they usually do, so please don't worry. .. so I said that it would not disturb the sleep of the chief Donda-Lou."

"... the king's deputy and the lord's deputy are on their way out, and there's no way I'm sleeping."

Even if you're awake, you won't see Donda-Lou fall asleep. Those eyes were filled with intense eyes as usual.

"... the aides and they are not accompanied?

"Yes, Lord Aug is asking for an inspection of the castle town. Sometimes it's more efficient to do things differently."

Fermes can flutter and flatter his mouth as he leans his neck a lot. Its brown and green complexity made Hazel Eye glimmer as he dreamed, letting his admiration breath spill on the ladies of the division that tumbled around him.

What the hell kind of emotion does Giza-Lou or Rudd-Lou have with this Fermes in front of them? Ziza-Lou is watching Fermes still with his eyes as thin as thread, and Rudd-Lou has the face of stuffing the roasted poitan down his throat.

In the meantime, Donda-Lou put a sharp gaze around the surrounding blood clans.

"Is Sin-Lu here? If you're here, come here."

"Understood," the voice lifts up, and Sin-Lu advances out. Looking back at you, Fermes narrowed his eyes "Oh".

"Are you Sin-Lew, that you won the # 1 seat in the Martial Arts club in Genos? I heard you were only seventeen-year-old... but I didn't think you were such a brilliant young man."

"Hmm. Do you speak of the beauty of your eyes?"

Crushing heavily, Donda-Lou made Sin-Lou stand in his place.

"Yesterday's story has already been told to Sin-Lu as well. But if you want to see Sin-Lu's arm, why don't you let me do a power comparison on this occasion?

The story had already been told to all the families. At the upcoming Masquerade, Sin-Luu was offered a sword match with his Fermes squire, Jemd.

"No," Fermes shook his head, smiling gracefully.

"That's just, like, a pastime. We would like Sin-Lu to enjoy the ball as a guest, while at the same time performing his swordsmanship in a pastime."

"Hmm. You want me to cook alcohol to make people seriously test each other's powers"

"Oh, weren't we talking about you people by the woods also doing something comparable to the power of fighting during a feast?

It was apparently the knowledge heard from around Dari-Sauti during the rapprochement meeting.

Donda-Lou looks more like a small diplomat than he is.

"We are doing a power comparison to show Mother Forest the fruits of our training. Never enjoying the aftermath of a feast"

"Really? It doesn't seem so uncommon to enjoy the power comparison of a feast. If even a code that forbids it exists for the people of the woods, I'll reconsider it."

Donda-Lou shut the mouth he was about to open. I also know that no such contraindication exists by the woods. In the past, besides the feast, Lolo and Doga in "A Seat of Gamleys" were challenged by the hunters by the woods to compare their powers. That and others were supposed to be exactly the aftermath of the feast.

"You don't need to think seriously about anything. Both names will take care not to suffer deep hand injuries, and whichever wins will not be taken as weak. As Chieftain Graf-Zaza said, this gemd is quite skillful."

"That's all I know.... Fair enough. Even this one, I'm not going to refuse to do anything."

"Yes, we have heard of the once despicable attempt by the gay marooned lord Jen of the Earl of Saturas to take victory. I'm here to deepen my bonds with the Genos, and I promise I will never do that."

While Fermes and Donda-Lou were talking, Jemd and Sin-Lou watched you quietly.

Gemd was a young man with the appearance of a princess, a long-lasting man who seemed to be unable to work out, but I had no idea how powerful he was to me. That should be it, too, and even Ey-Fa, who was good at measuring the power of others, said, "I don't know".

"I do think that as a person in town, you have extraordinary powers. But like people like Doug and Iphius before, they don't haunt strange signs, and they don't feel as powerful as Camua-Josh and Melfrid."

But then, I feel like I can't beat him down easily. - That's what I-Fa said.

"... if we're only going to invite Sin-Lu as a guest of the feast, I'm thinking of accompanying my daughter, Lara-Lu"

When Donda-Lou said so, Lara-Lou, who had refrained from the opposite side of Sin-Lou, glanced at the Fermes with a challenging look.

Fermes smiles, "Oh," with that glare in his eyes.

"The name sounds familiar. However, the three women in the main house of Lou... were also present at the martial arts banquet."

"... do you even hear such stories"

"Yes, we have seen all the materials relating to the people by the woods. All the people who attended the feast of Castel Genos will be named on the roster, so I saw them there."

With that said, Fermes lifts his flax hair with his fingertips when it comes to white fish.

"I also think that the date of the ball will soon be decided. Will Chief Donda-Lou not be attending?

"Hmm. From among the chiefs, Dari-Sauti will be present. Even with me and Graf-Zaza, it would only threaten the people of Castle Town."

"Really? That's unfortunate."

That's how Fermes looked back at me.

"Oh, Asta is going to be in the street business, isn't she? Whatever you want, stay in Inn Town... oh."

And I suppose he opened his eyes lightly along the way because he found a parent instead of me.

"Was Fa's parent Ai-Fa with you? Will you be accompanied to Accommodation Town, too?

"No, I heard you were going to visit Luu's settlement on this carving, until you came out to say hello"

That wasn't a lie, but I guess it was also a big thought that you didn't want me to see Fermes alone as much as possible. Eye-Fa's eyes looked back at Fermes' smile in a riddle.

"You will come to the house of Pha after your inspection of the Lou family, will you? I'm also thinking about getting my job done early today."

"Really? You don't have to worry about us, do you?

"... Fa's house makes a day to get the job done early in order to put the hound's body to rest. I just gave it to you today."

"Really? Well, we look forward to welcoming you home at Fa's house"

After smiling at the dust and tenderness, Fermes turned back to Donda-Lou.

"We will now take a look at the settlement of Luu. Family members, please behave as usual."

Thus began the inspection of Fermes.

With that in our asses, we're headed to Inn Town.

◇

"Right. Finally, the noblemen of the King's capital came to the woodland settlement."

It was Dora's father who mentioned it that way, waiting for the dish to be finished in the stalls. Instead, Tara is also eyeing curiosity.

"But well, you people are a lot more friendly this time, aren't you? Well, that was more than anything else."

I smiled and answered, "Right."

Truth is, it's not like I don't have a slight sense of anxiety deep in my chest. But it's a sense of anxiety that arises because it's hard to read inside Fermes. I can't see anything flashy about Fermes' words and deeds themselves, and I couldn't really complain or anything because he's trying to deepen his bond so favorably and aggressively.

"That nobleman looks so pretty, doesn't he? I'd like to see Tara too."

"Oh well. Perhaps one of these days you'll be visiting the Inn Town and Dareim. I hope to see your face then."

"What! Is that person coming to Dareim, too?

"Yeah. He said he wanted to make sure of Genos' territory with his own eyes. You don't look like much of an actress."

"Wow! Hey, when we get to Tara and the others, what do we do?

When Tara was excited to pull her arm, her father looked down at her with a bitter smile.

"There's no way a nobleman from the Wang Capital would ever stop by my house. Hey, Asta?

"Well, what do you think? Your father, even Dalaim, is left to a big farm with a finger fold, isn't he? Then I feel more likely to stop by the house."

"Huh? Are you kidding me? If some nobleman from Wangdu arrives, your mother or uncle will flip!

"That's worrying. But it seems that Fermes is going to be looking around all the way to Lew's family's house today. I'm going to be touring the houses of other chieftaincy muscles at a later date, and I hear you said that if possible, you want to look around all your clan houses. .. Then you're going to inspect all of Dalaim's rare places."

"Wow, that's tough! I don't know what kind of mouth to speak of nobility!

"Haha. It's with the people of the woods."

That's where I finally finished the dish. My representative today is a pasta stall that has been revived by crackling.

Moreover, this dedication was the first to be disclosed today. The name is "Miso and Tarapa Stewed in Cream Pasta".

Needless to say about the compatibility between tarrapa and cream, adding miso to it gives it a pretty naughty taste. All you have to do is mince Aria and Myrmu, sprinkle with salt and pico leaves, a little bit of Leten oil and tau oil, and then sprinkle the gamma cheese with something coarsely ground, and you're doing nothing odd. The ingredients were made of tino and zucchini with cabbage, then bunashi mejimodo, and giva meat with miso marinated loin.

"Thank you for waiting. Eat slowly."

"Yeah, thanks. Let me know tomorrow what the noblemen of Wangdu looked like by the woods."

Leaving a warm grin, Dora's parents and children walk away to the Blue Sky Dining Room. When the customer's legs broke off slightly that way, Lars, who was boiling the noodles in the next stall, softly laughed.

"Is it about time for a moment downstairs? I'm relieved that the line up won't change the way we sell."

"Yeah. After all, pasta and ramen are separate dishes. Few people might buy it together, but I thought it wouldn't affect sales."

"Yep. I guess it's a hoax that there aren't many customers buying the juice dish Toramen with. Thank you."

Get out of the ramen stall, it's about 20 days. The sale was stable at 120 meals, and we were able to acquire enthusiastic customers who would buy it every day. Besides, it was also clearly conveyed that we could do this with each passing day when it came to the arrangement between Lars and Levi.

"I really appreciate Asta. I couldn't imagine a day coming when I could laugh like this."

"I just pushed my back a little bit. It's all a guide to Western God."

"Yes, I thank the Western gods every night for not screwing up the day I left the inn. You picked me up like I did, and you called me Zashma."

Smiling like a favorite, Lars felt herself in tears.

From beyond, a levi sticks out his face, waiting for the noodle to boil.

"You're not talking wet in the middle of business.... Hey, Asta. My dad's one, we finally hit Milan-Math that we wanted to buy ourselves a miso. Milan-Math has accepted, but I wonder if you're really going to be okay?

"It's okay. Whatever, Kimmus' bone gala is getting the best stock. If you spend as much time and effort as you did when you developed the sauce of tau oil, you'll be able to make the same fine ramen."

According to my standpoint, Lars seems to have such a solid tongue. I've already taught you about ingredients you think you need for miso-flavoured sauce, and as far as I'm concerned, I wasn't worried about anything.

"Huh. My father was the one who told me to take care of the customers in front of me. If you change the flavor in less than a month, why don't you let your customers go?

"So we talked about just putting out a miso and a tau oil ramen for a day, right? You're a stubborn bastard forever."

Lars pulled up the iron rug as he said the prestigious word in a soft voice. Carefully turn off the water and transfer it to a wood plate.

"Look, I've got the finishing touches. Serve before it cools."

"I know," Levi says as he tongues out, arranging the ingredients quickly. Collaboration around here also seems to have been fully established in the last twenty days or so.

Incidentally, even in the Lew family, since yesterday, "Gibba's Motsu Hot Pot" has just been changed to miso flavor. In the future, we were talking about alternating it with the taste of tau oil, and we were going to set a policy while watching the customer react.

Furthermore, here more recently, Tour-Din also made additions to the menu. They started selling Japanese style steamed buns wrapped in fabrics made from Kimmus egg shells with braised fruit mackerel for a day. It is no less popular than the chocolate buns of gigigi leaves sold so far, and they were sold out day after day without waiting for a fixed time.

I am aggressively using the miso to reveal a new dedication without cowardice. The buzz in this section selling Giva dishes seemed to be increasing, in the value of the efforts of each of those people.

"Hey. Hey. Is it a new dish today?

And it was Camua-Josh and Leyt who gave him a sneak peek in the face. Late meets me, and then he makes his way to the ramen queue.

"Oh, thank you. I brought pasta back to life today. Few people buy it with ramen, how about it?

"Right. I'll have them both one at a time, and I'll give them half as much as Late."

Camua-Josh was, as always, slight.

Orders came in from other customers, so while I throw the new pasta noodles in the iron pan, I invite Camua-Josh.

"It's the sixth day that the Wang Capitals are here, but how about you?

"Yeah. Finally yesterday, I heard from you about the interview, too. We've only been talking for a moment."

"Really? As for Camua-Josh, what was your impression?

"Right. I thought that Fermez Mitsuhito was a very interesting person."

With that said, Camua-Josh stroked his mandible for fun.

"Whatever you put down, you'll keep an eye out for that exposition. I'm going to learn about the history of the kingdom myself, but that Mitsuhito is different. According to what I hear, until I was seventeen, I was stuck in the Tower of the Wise as a bachelor."

"Is this the Tower of the Wise? Sounds awesome."

"Yeah. It's the treasure trove of the knowledge of the West kingdom, where all the books and materials of ancient and present times are taken. Bachelors, doctors, etc. held by the Royal Palace are pulling there to encourage drilling day and night. The head of Mitsuhito, Fermez, seems to be packed with the knowledge he learned there."

That wasn't a big departure from my impression of Fermes. I was under the impression that I would know ten after listening to one, or that it would be very fast around my head anyway.

(Right. So when I'm exchanging words with that guy, I guess I get a little restless. Somehow, I feel like I'm getting ahead of what I'm trying to say)

Camua-Josh smiled a lot when I thought that way.

"It's just that from what I've seen, you never seem to be a spicy nobleman. Besides, he seems to have an extraordinary interest in Asta and the people by the woods."

"Yes. That feels like a shine. So it's not like I can be alert..."

"Yeah, yeah. Minimum vigilance must be remembered. Even if there's no malice over there, it's possible that if you learn differently, your opinions will run into each other. .. well, if you are a human being through the history and learning of the kingdom, then it's only natural that you should be interested in Asta and the people by the woods"

"Huh? Why not?

"Why, because I was myself."

Finally, pleasantly, Camua-Josh lowered his eyeballs.

"Being as peculiar as the people by the woods doesn't quite exist in this kingdom either. If you say it in a bad way, it will spark academic interest.... but the people by the woods are a fascinating clan the more they know. You don't think I'm trying to bond with the forest people just because of my academic interests, do you?

"Yeah, of course. .. and I'm more peculiar than a normal forest folk."

"Yeah, I think I might have a different view there with Fermes."

With that said, Camua-Josh had an oddly aged eye.

"I was interested in Asta because he was the kind of person who could have a huge impact on the people by the woods that was so closed. But Fermes... even deeper, it feels like he's interested in Asta."

"Well, what nature is that?

"I don't know that either. Maybe he's just gay."

I almost broke out of my knee by accident.

Camua-Josh goes back to his original blurry eyes and laughs when he dulls.

"I'm sorry. That's just a joke. But as far as I can tell from Melfried, that Mitsuhito seems to have been on Asta's side with a lot of momentum. In the Wang capital, they shattered Asta's opinion on whether he was an exotic spy from one end to the other. For what it's worth, there seems to be a lot of opinions in the Wang capital that Asta is not disgusted."

"Well, thank you very much... but it feels unsettling for a stranger to defend himself so strongly."

"He's probably a man of intellect. I wonder if he's a person who can't leave unreasonable stories alone, independent of his own damage. I think Marquis Genos is quite compatible in that sense because he is also a reasonable person."

When it comes to weighing rationality by the woods, the first thing that comes to mind is Gazran-Rutim. Is Fermes obsessed with Gazran-Rutim because he perceived it sharply?

(But Gazran-Rutim and Fermes are not alike at all. Gazran-Rutim weighs heavily on reason... but as much on people's love as it does)

So can I dispel this whispering sense of anxiety if I can also feel the human warmth inside Fermes?

After all, deeper bonding and intimacy, knowing a human being named Fermes, was probably the shortcut above all.

"Oh, and what about a guy named Aug? That man is a so-called militant person, isn't he?

"Stick around, the Baron Berry family doesn't mean militants. I'm just insisting that if your lord is a little short, and you control him by force, such as Genos, you won't be worried. As for the person named Aug... Fermez is more floating, so I guess he was elected as an aide because of the significance of the role you're looking for."

"Although I think the degree of floating is more subdued by the camouflage. But I feel like I know what to say."

"Yeah, yeah. Well, you don't have to worry about anything because you seem to be a very fair person. The people of the woods want more than anything else because of their fairness."

Apparently, neither did Camua-Josh have any negative impressions on Fermes and Aug.

If so many human eyes were bruised and Fermes and Aug were spicy people, it is rather a full story. I decided to sneak up on prayer that I wouldn't get that kind of backlash.

That's how the pasta boiled up and the dishes for Camua-Josh were completed.

Camua-Josh speaks to Leyt today and heads to the Blue Sky Dining Room first. As I blurted out behind it, Yun-Sudra, who was working on "Fried and Grilled Giva" in a daily dedication stall, called out.

"Somehow, you seemed to be having a difficult conversation. But if the people of the King's capital don't have a bad heart, I think it's more than that."

"Yeah, I think so, too. But did it sound that hard?

"Yes. There have been a few words out there that I don't really hear that are a lot of interest"

That being said, Yun-Sudra tilted her little neck adorably.

"And what does that mean, anyway...?

Again, I almost collapsed to the ground.

"... Yun-Sudra, falsehood is a sin, so I can't give you a full reply. But I'm sure that's a word Yun-Sudra doesn't need to know."

"Really? If that's what Asta tells me, I'm not going to listen either."

At this time, Yun-Sudra's honesty was most appreciated.

And I was supposed to offer a new prayer that Camua-Josh's ridiculous light mouth was not shooting through the truth.
