The morning of the bazaar...

The village square in front of the church was ornately decorated.

"Come on, make money - I'll sell you, not

Elizabeth stretched out thoughtfully in a stall with the church gate open on her back.

At the same time as the start, two children are coming brought to us by their parents.

"Uh, Sister's cookies again"

"Oh, I'm so tired of that."

"I thought you said you wanted to go."

I hear a conversation between your mother and your children.

Sister's cookie is a church treat traditionally made, and nobody thought to make something different until last year when Elizabeth was coming.

Customs and traditions have some good aspects, but some have some bad aspects that make it difficult to change.

"After all, I'm going home. I'm not interested."

"Already... keep it this far! They're moody kids."

It's a less entertaining village, so I guess the kids were looking forward to it for once.

But he remembered last year, and it turned out okay.

All the other families react somewhat the same way, walking down with a bump.

- Heh heh, not this time.

Elizabeth waits for the children when she laughs confidently in her heart.

"Eh! What, this, wow!

Then one child sees a different bazaar and raises his voice.

"It's a big deal - whoa, not at all like before!

The other children were also spoken of as surprised by the condition.

The outer perimeter of the square is carpeted and the pedestrian spreads the item.

From food to old clothes, fabrics, groceries and toys, the sale doesn't bore you just by looking at it in a variety of ways.

Customers can keep walking around the inner circumference, so people flow just fine without clogging.

The children are storming Mauritz, who is just in the cat's goose - the character Norte.

Roxanne, who handed out a small castella from the cage, had a crowd.

By the way, the trade name is Norte, Castella, the new specialty of the Nortian Church.

In addition to them, in front of the church, Elizabeth's new street food, which she has never even thought to see, is sloppily discouraged.

- I'm not gonna let you say Mannelli when I get here!

It was all planned by Elizabeth, using the memory and knowledge of the event planner.

The original bazaar is one of the few events in a village once every three months.

People also came from the surrounding villages and cities, Sister sells sweets, and the villagers sell goods in bazaars - it was just that.

It still mannerizes that, and it's not that fashionable when people in the village sell things to people in the village.

So Elizabeth persuaded all the places to use their abundant financial resources and reform the bazaar.

The first thing I imagined was a festival rather than a bazaar.

We prepared them as an alternative to church cookies, considering a wide range of menus that could be eaten.

The street food that I was serving at a festival in my previous life worked great.

Make and show as many dishes as possible on the spot that the villagers have never eaten or seen.

Entertainment that stimulates the so-called five senses.

Additionally, Elizabeth attracted a pedestrian to open a store in Bazaar.

At times like this, I decided not to take the store opening fees or place fees that had always become customary to take, and I decided to provide meals from the church.

Except for travel expenses, it seems that it was immense not to lose money. The traveler pushed over and succeeded greatly.

He also paid attention to the way people flow and arranged decorations for creating atmospheres, as well as music.

- I haven't done a good job in a long time.

Elizabeth was very satisfied with the whole bazaar.

Though preparation was very difficult, such as the response of the pushed traveler.

"There, they're selling clouds! Cloudy!?

"What!? Is a cloud a bell!?

The kids were surprised and attracted by Hilde's sale.

It was a treat made with that quality sugar that I had been purchasing at the mall.

"Fluffy."

"Oh, my God."

Toni and Felsey are the ones who are complaining about the sale.

The church kids also saw Sister busy and took turns helping.

"Go ahead -"

Felsey handed it to two girls about the same age.

"It melts when you put it in your mouth! I need to tell your mother too"

"Is it sugar? I don't know how you're fluffy."

Slightly small and distorted, but adequate to surprise everyone.

Even this took a lot of hard work to make.

First, dissolve the sugar in a larger pan into a viscous liquid.

Next, prepare a propeller with a diameter slightly smaller than the pan and dip the liquid into it.

The propeller is a spinning trick when you turn the handle, and white thread comes out when you dance a blade with hot sugar on it in the air.

Quickly wrap it around with a stick of wood.

If I knew the temperature of the sugar, the rotation of the propeller, and the trick of winding it up, I would be able to guide it out.

Hilde was doing it all by herself.

- Name it, manpower, washi machine.

The point is, you just need to cool and thin filaments while the melted sugar is flown with centrifugal force.

"Baked corn! It's a grilled corn!

Lucinda fans a roasted corn with a lively voice and plenty of butter on it, sprinkling the smell all over the square.

The butter is salted butter with plenty of salt to further enhance the sweetness of the baked corn.

Kids and adults gather around the smell of appetite.

"Whoa, I need to make this one too"

When we check the burning of the corn, Lucinda moves to the next stall.

"Take a look. Because it's going to explode now!

Lucinda speaks to the child who has gathered.

"Explosion?"

"Yes, yes. But it's in the pot, it's not safe!

First, show the audience what's in the pan.

There are many grains like small beans, and when butter is put in there, cover them and set them on fire.

"Wow! Wow!

Then after a while, I hear the sound of being able to pound and pound from the pan.

The people I saw were frightened and surprised.

"Bye!

When I look around and take the lid down from the fire, things like beans are transformed into white popcorn.

Finally, sprinkle salt to complete.

"Whoa!?

Kids are flashy surprised by magical changes.

"Try some"

Mart, who is giving me a smile and a store number, distributes popcorn to the person who was watching.

"What, this, yum!

Eat it and marvel again at its aroma, flavor and texture.

A classic treat from a stall or cinema that you tend to think you can't make without a special machine - popcorn, but it's actually easy.

Prepared are corn dried with small, hard grains.

If you fry in butter or other oils, the moisture inside expands and popcorn can be bounced.

If you flavor it, you can make an effortless treat.

"Thank you"

It is also rare and sells out of Mart's hands one after the other.

"I'm home, sir. I have to bring it. I can't believe how much fun Bazaar is."

Everywhere, I hear voices like this.

"Let's eat all kinds - eh"

"It's just one thing I like!

"Ugh, I can't!

One happy voice after another from the participants.

Charlotte, the baroness, was also working hard in that.

"It's apple candy! It's different from apple candy."

I have an apple candy seller who helped me with the prototype.

The stall is glossy with apple candy stabbed on wood skewers.

"Gemstone-like beauty, and a crunchy texture. Above all, the finest things the lady makes and sells well, I can't stop!

What eats apple candy in front of the stall and exaggerates her thoughts is her maid, Banesa, and also Senior next door.

They're playing so-called sakura.

"The last one, because I don't want it. And it sounds deliberate."

"Oh, yeah, well, Elizabeth said... eat it deliciously, naturally."

Charlotte stuck in the stall and Senior agreed to it.

And there, Charlotte realizes that a well-dressed boy is approaching who must have come from the city.

"... are you buying? You're not buying it?

A boy makes his face slightly red, thrilled by how she is.

"Or buy......!

"It's a piece of copper. Two copper coins and a half copper coin for three, though?

"Sa, three......! I want..."

Reflectively, where the boy answers, a motherly person catches up.

"Buy all three at a time, including your father's share. They all look delicious."

When Charlotte received the coins from the woman, she handed her three apple candies.

"Oh, thank you"

She smiles and drops you off, although she is a little dull.

I'm sure after seeing where that parent and child are eating, and Charlotte's apple candy, the guests must arrive.

Bazaar has been a medium favorite since the morning.

If this is it, listen to the rumors and it should be more exciting this afternoon.

- Honestly, though I'm prepared to have a deficit this time when customers come in.

Even if labor costs are not multiplied, income and expenditure are tight because we set the price to critical.

Absolutely no waste loss. Naturally sell out......

This time, Elizabeth thought it was a revelation for the future.

From next time, you just have to figure out a way to take some money from the merchant who opens the store.

I hear there are some open-air ones that have just begun and sold out.

If the track record is communicated, I wouldn't be dissatisfied to say I would take the store opening fee.

- Yeah, yeah, this feels...

The village was busy today alone.

People flow, money flows, and smiles abound - a good cycle of events.

- - Perhaps the venue could be expanded a little further to the aisle that leads to the square. We have to increase the number of sellers. But teach me not to forget the feeling of hospitality......

Elizabeth, as a planner, was not only looking at the overall confirmation, but also thinking about improvements for the next time.

A point that always makes improvement a good event, although it also requires success.

Doing the same thing every year, just doing the same, will reduce the number of mobilizations and sales.

Elizabeth, the iron plate is warming up.

Leonid called out when I was writing this down, whether it was in my head or not.

I left most of the new street food to the Sisters, but this is all difficult, so I have to do it myself.

Best eyeball of this time - Takoyaki!

"Yes, I'm going now!

The observation of the entire bazaar was interrupted and entered the octopus stall.

"Check it out, Miss Elizabeth."

Hobert, a blacksmith who prepared with Leonid, asks.

Elizabeth kept her hands close to ascertain the temperature of the entire iron plate.

- - Even though it's a hard iron plate to fire down, the whole thing is warming up properly. That's Mr. Hobert.

I was getting special help because I was a master in the handling of fire.

"It's just that!

Show them thumbs up and the goo returns the same way from the hovel.

Taking a deep breath, Elizabeth raised her voice.

"Come on, come on, guys! Sister Elizabeth will make the octopus."

Guests gather at the same time.

"What, what? Octopus?"

Sister Elizabeth.

Where the gaze has gathered sufficiently, the cooking begins.

Dissolve the flour, water and eggs on an oiled iron plate and evenly drop the chopped cabbage, spring onions and rounded onions.

Be deliberately overflowing and groovy.

"Hey, what's this? Never seen it!

"Sister Elizabeth's Broom, Ha Ya"

The iron plate side of the octopus roasts and spreads a good smell

From there is the best show of arms.

- When it solidifies, flip the thin skin around you while you put it in the hole!

Poke it with a shrub and a thousand pieces and rotate it.

By the way, the hangover round trick of moving it around even if it's troublesome, rather than flipping it in one go.

"Wow, wow. It creeped. It's getting round!

The children I watched rejoice in cackling.

"It feels good, I can do it soon"

…………

I didn't say anything, but now Leonid offered me an elongated plate of pottery to put the octopus on.

There Elizabeth watches the grill add and subtract, and puts them on six at a time.

Next, Leonid brushed the sauce in the kettle.

Though the source still had room for trial and error, it was richer than the prototype.

Ingredients include tomatoes, stir-fried onions, apples, vinegar, salt, sugar, chillies, cloves, laurels, thyme, cinnamon, and more......

- A little honey for the hidden flavor!

More mayonnaise with a cloth like a squeeze bag over it.

The mayonnaise is made with eggs, oil, vinegar and salt, so straw and easy seasoning.

Versatile for salads, fish and meat, it was already very popular in the Nortian Church.

Finally, paralyze the blue powder.

Aoyagi substituted with Aoyagi.

When I went to the rocks of Iso with the children of the church, there were so many fragrant things that they dried and crushed in the heavens and the sun.

Stab a little tree skewer, done!

"Oh, yummy!

Look at the takoyaki the kids made up and sing.

"Hot! Huh, delicious"

When I ate, the same words overlapped again.

"Eat careful of the burns"

Leonid relentlessly draws attention to his guests.

Still intolerable, the recipient immediately transports the octopus to his mouth.

"Mm-hmm. Crisp! The puffy texture inside is delicious too!

Adults and children were pounding tongue drums.

Takoyaki is also very popular! Big success!

"Four, no, eight next."

"Okay. I'll make more and more, so I'll season it and give it to you, please!

One order came in after another, and Elizabeth and Leonid continued to make the octopus in full rotation.

I'm busy turning my eyes, but I have the exhilaration to taste it when I'm busy at work, and it's fun.

I also had to admit that Leonid's presence was significant.

He faithfully does what he quietly asks for, and not only that, he leads the way.

Perfect timing to serve dishes, and quick replenishment of all kinds.

- - It's perfect as a partner in octopus cooking, isn't it?

Though it's only a matter of bazaar.

And... and when you threaten someone?

Elizabeth kept poking at the iron plate as she got high and thought about something like that.

That's how, when I realized, the sun was starting to tilt diagonally from the top.

By the time it was a little past noon, the guests' feet gradually settled out.

- Break, I have to get in.

I get tired, and when my concentration drops, I make a lot of mistakes.

You should take a proper break before then.

As I recall, I'm hungry, too.

"Yes, it's for Leonid. I've been eating in the church kitchen, taking turns to rest. And bring home extra ingredients for your kitchen."

More than usual, the octopus was served on a plate and handed over to Leonid.

"Oh......"

Nodding, he receives a plate and enters the church.

- I need to make a little more before I go on break.

When I gently tap my cheeks and get in the mood, I pour the eggs into the iron plate.

The appetizing delicious smell, hot air, and sound spread around again.

Leonid, who entered the church kitchen, was sitting in a chair that was around there, eating an octopus.

- It's good!

After all, Elizabeth's cooking is exceptional.

Until now, I have only considered it nutritional to move my body around, such as eating.

That made a difference by mouthing her dishes.

I want to eat more.

I am amazed by its distinctive flavour and appearance.

She was supposed to be an inexorable Duke's Lady, but she's very lively, actionable, creative, greedy at making fun of herself.

Attracted, I won't stop.

Besides...

- This feeling isn't bad either, I wonder what it is.

Cooking with her overflows the fullness.

I hold the sword, similar to the sense of accomplishment when I accomplished my mission, but not.

Keep it this way all the time, make me want to stay forever.

I hope time doesn't pass.

"... additional ingredients... this"

Leonid, having finished his octopus grill, rose from his chair, remembering that she had asked him to do so at the same time as his break.

Looking over the kitchen, I find a large bowl of trees.

Inside was plenty of chopped cabbage and leeks.

Plus there's a big torso pan next door...

"You... you were here"

It was the octopus that was boiled in the pan, halved.

I bought that from a harbor fisherman and I thought it was a joke she said "eat it"...

I had no idea you were really going to eat such a mess.

"Mm..."

Again, Leonid roared at Elizabeth's endless exploration.

Leonid will come back to me with the ingredients to refill as he asked.

As Elizabeth attempts to enter the break, the square squares.

"What is it?

Has there been any incident?

"Leonid, I'm going to take a look, so please shop"

…………

I trusted Leonid to snort in silence and try to leave the store but... I didn't need it.

"Hello, that sounds like a big day."

It was Christophart, the lord, who showed himself before Elizabeth and the others.

It seemed like all of a sudden he was bothering because the lord came.

"Yes, with the forgiveness and cooperation of Count Cloreleus."

I gently fold my knees, bow my head slightly and say hello, as I did when I was a lady on a warrant.

"No, I'll let you study too. Your management skills are very interesting."

"No... it's not a big deal"

Lords must think of the whole territory.

In contrast, Elizabeth only needs to think about the church and the bazaar, and the village of Nortia, even if it is spread out.

I think the difference is pretty big.

However, I was purely pleased that I was praised.

"Humility is a virtue. And to succeed, it's necessary."

Christhalt rang his fingers and called the butler.

"Let me help you. You should have more manpower, right? Daniel, properly divide the servants."

"I'll take care of it"

Originally, Sister alone may have realized that manpower was critical.

Christhalt had servants and seemed to help with the stalls.

He's sorting out rows of lines and washing things that hadn't just gone around.

"The soldiers are in the village, so don't worry about safety."

As a matter of fact, I was worried about pickpockets, chirps, etc. when there were more visitors to the bazaar.

However, there is no one in the village to turn to security, and it is very helpful because it was your luck.

"Thank you"

"Never mind. It's only natural to help as a lord. Since Miss Elizabeth arrived, the village of Nortia, yeah... I feel that the territory of Crawleras itself is changing in a good direction."

"Oh no... I just wanted to do something fun"

Thanking you makes me even more complimented.

And for some reason, neighbor Christhalt is staring slightly at Christhalt.

- Is that it? Weren't these two friends in the old knowledge?

"Well, that's not a good compliment."

Christhalt grins bitterly in the sight of Leonid.

"This is going to be fine and we're going to be able to do it safely. Good -"

That's when the view breezed.

The tent of the stall floats in the wind, and the tree of the paquila breaks.

"What...?

- What is this... bad... my second life ends here too!?

Meditate your eyes, ready to be the underside of the tent.

At that moment, someone's arm pulled Elizabeth's body forcefully.

"Are you hurt?

When I opened my eyes slowly, it was in Leonid's arms.

He pulled me from behind with his shoulder in his arms.

The other arm supports the tilted tent.

- - Close...

The distance between heartbeat and breathing, and the feeling of body temperature.

Leonid was at a distance only allowed by family or close people.

Tokens and heartbeats.

"Thank you, thank you"

Gently leave under the tent so he doesn't lose his posture.

Christhalt was there for me so that the rest of the stall wouldn't fall.

There is an iron plate, so it is important.

Leonid is staring at us.

Somehow, I feel like that gaze is feverish, unlike the usual surveillance thing.

That's not true......

"Ah! I'll rush to see if the other stalls were okay. Here, please!

…………

Escape from your gaze so you can escape.

Fortunately, there was no damage to the other stalls.

By the time the sunset fell to the ground, the bazaar was safely over without any major problems.

Most of the stuff sells out, and both the selling and buying sides are overflowing with smiles.

- Hmm, much more than I thought...... great success!

Thanks to the Sisters and the children of the Church, as well as Leonid and Christhalt, Charlotte and Mauritz, for all their help.

It was busy, fun, and in a flash.

Even when it's over, the people who were left in the square leave with potpouts.

A little lonely moment.

Then one boy turned toward Tattat and Elizabeth.

"I'll come back for you. Nah!

"Yeah, I'm waiting!

A boy who laughs bitterly and goes back to his mother, who bows his head.

Elizabeth waved away as she left.

"What did they say?

Leonid, who has finished cleaning up, comes and can speak up.

"The kid wants to come back, Bazaar."

Elizabeth turned to Leonid.

"Hehe... let's definitely do it next time"

………………

Leonid is a little decent, then nods with no expression, as usual.

Think about it, I learned a lot about him, too.

Being ruthlessly on a mission, not someone like that, and not hesitating to help me if I'm in trouble.

You wield such a big sword, your fingertips are surprisingly clever.

Being mostly silent, with few words, but with caution, there is a change in expression.

Don't make excuses.

In times of need, you must protect me.

And - - Sometimes it seems sweet.

I wish these days would go on forever, Elizabeth thought as they watched the sunset.
