Dream Life

Tria Calendar July 20, 2017 at 3: 00 pm.

The ceremony of his brother's marriage progresses without delay, and the brothers are parading in the city. There was an incident in the garden, but nothing else in particular, and time passes.

3: 30 p.m.

I was headed somewhere.

The destination is the dining room Pantry next to the Great Hall. To make a final adjustment about the liquor to be served at the feast.

The meeting has already ended yesterday and I don't think it's necessary as far as I'm concerned. But Fergus Bartley, the foreman, begged me to be present for the final check. Even the mayor of the empire's most prestigious grand aristocracy, who deals with many guests, seems anxious to deal with first-time drinks such as sparkling wine and distilled liquor at this major event.

Seems I had the cause too. No, he said there was.

Last night, I was in a meeting and gave a course on how to open sparkling wine, but it seemed a little too hot at that time.

I wasn't aware of that.

But Liddy, who was with me, pointed me out later.

"I don't have that one. 'Cause that's not all there is to it: how to open a stopper, how to pour it into a glass, how to wipe the wine dripping from the mouth of a bottle... I can't believe I even checked the glass of dust before I poured it... one by one. I give instructions in such detail. The waiters' faces were cramped..."

And imitate my voice.

"Don't make a sound! Do not drip from the mouth of the bottle! Oh, there! This is how your arm angle looks beautiful! Oh, my spine needs to stretch!... I think I'll pull that off..."

I've also felt that way somehow when they say that. But I was going to be respectful to them myself, so I'm going to try to disagree.

"Really? Didn't I tell you it was that hard? First of all, I was going to pay attention to the language..."

Liddy nods with a look that seems to blow out.

"Yeah, that was a very polite word. Well... it was a very polite tone from the customer. But wasn't that extra scary?

That's what I'm teasing you about, keeping your laughter down.

I was completely unconscious and I had to laugh bitterly.

There can't be anything like yelling at each other for mentoring their work. As far as I'm concerned, I was usually going to coach (...) gently (...) politely (...), but it's like I had a fever before I knew it.

I am reminded of Fergus, the foreman I saw chilling on my way home. I didn't even feel like I had fallen shoulders and slightly tearful eyes.

"You're not conscious enough. Those (...) Dwarves declare to the whole world that they will not compromise on alcohol, and those (...) Dwarves blacksmiths are saying," You are no match for alcohol. "Such a person has served alcohol in captivity. That makes me nervous."

Liddy dares to highlight and explain the “that” part.

I can somehow understand why the foreman is anxious to be told that much. But still, I wasn't aware of that.

When I was remembering that time, it seemed that Liddy remembered something, too, and suddenly she looked like a shank.

"And Barbara, the chief samurai, used her eyes on her daughter Ko, didn't she?

Confused by its sudden development.

"What are you talking about?

"I would have cared a lot about that girl. Not as a samurai, but as a woman."

I don't know what I'm trying to say, and I remember that time.

Baroness Barbara Harding, the head samurai, is a beautiful woman in her late twenties with a calm atmosphere and a beautiful feel. But I'm not conscious as a woman, not my taste.

For Liddy, who is relatively obvious about this sort of thing, he seems to care a lot, but he wasn't going to do that to me then. Naturally, it still is.

It just wasn't like I didn't have anything in mind.

"Oh...... sure...... but that was the most important person on that member so I just treated him with respect. Well, I'm pretty sure I responded as a female Lady..."

Not to mention a samurai, the other one is a baroness.

Speaking from the identity system, he's definitely superior to me, the second son of the chivalry class. What is more, if you are also the chief samurai of the castle of the northern governor of the Caerm Empire, a powerful woman in the area, it means something completely different to the samurai of a normal mansion. It's an important position to keep the back of the Borderline House, and you can't be wrong that I paid the finest respect.

"Don't you have to suddenly get on one knee and mouth the back of your hand. Everyone around me was surprised."

To be honest, I had no idea what was wrong with that.

"That's a greeting to your lady you learned at the academy, isn't it? I don't think I'm wrong..."

The Tilia School of Magic, where I was, is sometimes a school that produces many court magicians, and there were courtesy classes. Some of them were about rituals, such as how to greet royalty.

Liddy exhales small after looking at me.

"Okay. You really didn't make sense...... but I wonder what they thought. At least whoever was around must have had a different impression than you."

If you say so, I do feel the impression of the head samurai has changed. I never talked to him directly until then, but I thought he felt a little cold. But I didn't feel like a cute, feminine person then.

(Though young, I thought you were doing a good job of being the chief samurai of the Borderline House...)

When I told Liddy about it, he just shook his head and said nothing more.

By the way, Liddy was on the spot to drink the sparkling wine she opened for practice. Of course (...), Beatrice is with me.

Unconsciously I didn't realize why at first. So I went to the dining room with them and I said, "Why are you coming with me? I asked."

In response to my question, they all replied, "If I open it, I have to drink it."

At that time, all I said was that the chief samurai had called me, but the two of them knew exactly what I was going to do.

(Nevertheless, you understand very well. I thought you only said you'd get a little for practice a long time ago...... aren't the Liddies starting to have a dwarf-like sense of smell too?... No, you don't...)

For a moment, I saw Liddy and Beatrice wearing what the Dwarves looked like. Shake your head small and shake off the idea.

At that time, five regular bottles of sparkling wine were opened for practice. The practice of unloading and pouring cork is carried out in empty bottles filled with magically made carbonated water.

Furthermore, I did not intend to drink all the sparkling wine that I had opened. At first, with the exception of one for taste, Ricork - replacing the old cork with the new cork - wasn't going to plug it again. Store it in the storage magic Inventory, which delayed the progression of time even after opening it, to prevent degradation, and it has little effect on the amount of personal drinks. No, I thought Liddy was going to say, "We need to drink fast because it's not going to taste good" before it gets affected.

Because it is a practice, it is also possible to open it badly and cause bubbles to overflow. In that case, I was going to give it to the servants as well as the cooks to remember the flavor.

But when I realized it, it was gone until a bottle that hadn't failed. The killer is, of course, determined. I can only think of two.

No alarm or gap at all.

I really wear it with what the Dwarves look like.

No, this way of saying it is rude to Dwarf. They drank from the bottom of their hearts. They look like they do, but they don't drink without my permission.

Well, I don't need my permission because the sparkling wine I have is originally from Liddy's.

And now I'm in the dining room, Pantry.

There's something wrong with the attitude of the servants in front of me. No, it's not weird...

Five servants below the head waited in an upright and immovable position, stretching out their spines and hanging a white napkin (torsion) on their left arm.

Further below Samurai Chief Barbara Harding, the fifteen Samurais also wore a bright white apron on their blue samurai clothes and lined up in beautiful standing positions.

When I am surprised, the paying officer gives his regards with a nervous face and immediately explains today's steps.

"... for a toast, red wine with a goblet with silver legs. After the greeting of the hall, as soon as the toast is finished, plug the sparkling wine simultaneously. Those who hand out glasses shall be quick, but gracefully placed in place. However, explain to the customer properly… prepare distilled liquor when the feast enters the good environment. Straight, On The Rock, Water Split. If the customer is worried about which one, it may be served one by one. Straight is in a smaller glass prepared by Zacharias. On the Rock is the same for noble men above the Count as for those who are instructed by Zacharias, otherwise with silver goblets…"

The steps were perfect and there were no questions or confirmations from the servants or the samurai.

This time, we have about two hundred flute-shaped champagne glasses - a wine glass with long crystal glass legs and a thin body - and about fifty small tasting glasses - a wine glass shaped like a regular glass with a thin legged mouth.

Furthermore, I also prepared about twenty crystal glass rock glasses - somewhat without thick eyes legs - which I showed to Uncle Borderline at a banquet the other day.

They are all kept here.

Because the glasses are presented to the Raswell family together with a wedding celebration for the brothers.

That glass, but it was neatly lined up on the wagon next to the servants.

I take one of them without any concern.

And I watered it down to the light of the light demon prop on the wall.

(Perfect. You should brush the champagne glass just before pouring. Probably polished everything a few minutes ago. As instructed......)

No slight cloudiness, clean and polished, no dust at all.

That's when I heard a cockroach and breathtaking noise behind me.

Soon we stopped talking about the foreman, and everyone on the spot was watching me.

"Hey, even if it's inconvenient..."

That's what I've heard in a plundering voice that the foreman squeezes out.

I wonder if I misunderstood and smile and tell her I have no problem.

"No, it's nicely polished and dust-free. Perfect."

Immediately thereafter, the servants exhale simultaneously. The tense face was slightly loose.

(Were you nervous about my check? I don't think you have to worry about that much...)

I didn't know why they were nervous.

Explanation of the superintendent is resumed.

"... a dish that goes with sparkling wine, but with cheese and pickles on top of crackers. I don't pick this by hand and eat it, so I'll tell you about it in advance... cake to serve for dessert, but it should be briefly explained when serving it because I use distilled liquor. Be careful with one word, especially when serving to small children... to tell you that there are easy knobs of cheese and other things to do during the ensuing cheer talks... I want you to check again to see where your squire is, especially since there are many over-drinking customers expected to come out this time..."

Exactly the castle of the great nobility, and he seems accustomed to large banquets, but he's never had a detailed meeting so far. He didn't have to meet because he did it with the samurai chief and the foreman's instructions from time to time and with the experience of the servants. Of course, the manual doesn't exist either.

At the end of the description of the chief maid, the chief samurai nodded,

"Dear Zacharias, Do you have anything to add?

When I shake my head "Wearing" and say "No," William, the chef, leaves one step ahead.

"Well, I'd like to ask you to confirm the dishes…"

I had no idea, so I said, "Huh?" I raised my doubts.

(Exactly wouldn't need that...... head of the civilian, Baron Oldham anyway, I'm an invitee......)

"Please do. At least just the dish to go with the sparkling wine and the distillery."

That's what I'm going to say and keep my head down.

The chief samurai also smiles and says, "Please," and I have no choice but to acknowledge it.

There were two types of appetizers, Amuse, like canapés and pinchos with ingredients on top of crackers - finger foods that put dishes on top of small chopped breads and crackers.

One is a white mold cheese like camembert or bree and a beautiful vegetable pickle shaded like a small cut of paprika - vinegar is weak - on it. The other is a few drops of spice and berry sauce in a steamed and sliced duck lever. Both look beautiful, made to the size of a bite to eat, just like I asked. The flavor is also perfectly balanced between pickles and cheese, and the acidity and aroma of the berry sauce should suit the sparkling wine.

"It's delicious. I'm sure this will satisfy you enough."

A breath of relief leaks from the chef and the cook behind me in my words.

"Keep the ingredients on top cool in the freezer until just before"

It's called a refrigerator here, but suddenly, it's what I made.

The reason is that you're going to need ice for On the Rock, but you can't let me be one of the invitees to make it.

In the warehouse behind the dining room, the earthly attribute magically creates a stone room frame, and the door is made of thicker wooden slabs. The size is about 2m high, 2m wide and 1m deep. Use salted ice for cooling. This time, ice for cooling is made by magicians who can use Knights water attribute magic.

But I made all the round ice for the lock. Because the magicians here couldn't make a clean spherical object and the taste of ice was a mess.

I wondered that the flavors were different, and when I asked why, the legitimate answer "I've never thought about the flavors or anything else" came back with a bitter laugh.

On the contrary, I even think about flavor: "Does Sir Zacharias confine himself to flavor even with offensive magic?" and I was stunned. They used ice rubble (ice barrette), which is attack magic, to make ice, so I know exactly what you're trying to say.

Thereafter, we also confirmed the pork terrine to match the distilled liquor, but it slightly favoured the apple liquor (seedle), which was satisfactory enough.

When I tell them that, the cooks finally smile.

(In the meantime, there seems to be no problem and suppose to go back...)

"Well, thank you, gentlemen."

I bowed my head and left the scene behind.
