Dream Life

Episode 34: Behind: Medium

Tria calendar July 18, 2017 at 7: 00 pm.

I, Eleanor Maysfield, am a samurai working at Welburn Castle.

I am now learning how to serve Serve from Lady Rosalind and Lady Rodrick Lockhart in preparation for their feast the day after tomorrow.

Master Zacharias opened a bottle of sparkling wine, poured into a glass, and when he noticed that we were fascinated by its beautiful liquid, he smiled and said:

"Now let me give you all a little drink. Because if you don't try it, you won't know. That's good, isn't it, Master Harding?

That's what Master Zacharias told Master Barbara.

Turn that sweet smile you'll fall in love with too, only towards Master Barbara.

Usually Barbara with a definite expression had a flickering look, but she was quickly retightening her expression.

"Yes, of course I don't mind... call me Barbara about Me"

I doubted my eyes and ears.

Looking around, it seems I wasn't the only one who thought so. Because everyone here kept their mouths open with Pocan.

I couldn't believe that serious Master Barbara gave such a look and made him call his first name even more.

But I immediately reconsidered.

Lady Zacharias, who is here, is a rare woman and is called Prince Harlem (Prince) in all directions.

Even Barbara Harding, known in the shadows as the "Steel Samurai," was easily dropped. I think everyone remembered and was convinced of the two names of Master Zacharias.

As we flashed, Lady Zacharias continued to be faintly explained.

"Okay, I'll pour it, but take a good look. We'll do it for you from now on."

After seeing us, Chirali and the servants sent their gaze. But that was only a moment. And soon they started pouring wine into the glass.

I feel that the expression of the servants hardens on the back of their flowing hands. Because after this we are asked to do the same.

In order to hand the poured sparkling wine to Barbara-like, Zacharias was placed on the table with a thin leg portion of the glass to slip on. It feels like bowing out of a spine-stretched position, saying "go ahead" and smiling at Master Barbara.

Is this man really an amazing adventurer? On this day, a few questions were on my mind.

A glass was also placed before me. She said, "Go ahead," in a sweet voice, but my hands tremble in front of an expensive glass. Because the glass in front of me was incredibly thin and clear as if made of diamonds or crystals.

Slowly take the glass and bring it closer to your mouth. The bubbles continued uninterruptedly, and the refreshing and sweet aroma came up one after the other. A fine mist like when you squeeze citrus fruit, Mist, hits your face, so much that you wonder if this is alcohol.

The thought gets stronger when I put my mouth on it. The white wine I use in my castle is also very fine, and when I first drank it, I thought there was something tasty like this, but this sparkling wine was more than that.

I don't know what to say, but it's slightly sweet and I don't hate it. It also flows smoothly down my throat unlike ale and beer when I go through my throat. Really classy flavor.

Nature and the word "delicious" follow my mouth.

But the happy hour is over soon. Because it was only a little poured by the taste.

Everyone was happy with its flavor and had a natural smile on their face. But soon the look will be tightened.

"So long, everyone! It's practice now. Everyone on the payroll should do it from the way the plug is opened. Excuse me, ladies and gentlemen, just a moment."

From there, I feel that the atmosphere of Master Zacharias has changed gallantly.

Because the knights were given such a harsh and serious look as when they coached their young squire, and they coached their servants.

"Please hold the cork tight with your right hand. Do not give vibrations when turning. If you shake it, the bubble will rise all at once, so the moment it opens, it will overflow."

When coaching one but doing something a little worse for another, a voice immediately flew similar to reprimand.

"My spine is bent! Then it looks like the farmer's grandmother is doing the laundry! As I explained earlier, a beautiful attitude is fundamental to serving (serving)!... there! Don't make a sound when you open it! Making noise can make bubbles rough! ……

This guy had so many eyes behind his head that he checked the movements of all his servants.

"The glass should be careful not to make a sound and put it down! Slip over the cross to place it neatly…"

The instruction went on long enough.

In the meantime, it was found that the eyes of the servants gradually became tears. I was sympathetic that it was hard at first, but remembering it was our turn next, my cheeks were cramped with pimples.

Dear Zacharias pointed to the large empty bottle, the Magnum bottle, which had been prepared,

"Now each of you practice pouring water in an empty bottle! Never let wine drip on the cross! Then continue until you are satisfied (...)!

When you said that, you turned your gaze on us.

At that moment, the target became us from the servants.

It seemed that way to me. I just thought so.

But Master Zacharias explained it gently and politely, unlike when explaining it to his suppliers. That's just what they call “Prince Harlem," maybe he's nice to women.

I thought so for a moment, but when I looked closely, my eyes were serious. I got my mind back together again.

"Now I will explain what to do when you are asked for distilled liquor. First of all, if alcohol seems strong, don't add ice or water straight..."

We listen desperately and remember what was said.

"Now this is how to make On the Rock style that divides the distilled liquor with ice. This is very easy. Just pour the right amount (...) of distilled liquor into an iced glass…"

For a moment I wondered why pouring it into a glass with ice would be called "On the Rock” style. Besides, Master Zacharias' explanation didn't seem very simple.

"... put ice in a glass like this and distilled liquor from top of it. Immediately turn slowly (...) and quietly about two revolutions with this spoon. At this time, if you turn it too much, it will look watery, so don't turn it too much... Also, if you hit the ice and the glass, the ice will be missing, so be careful not to make any noise as much as possible..."

Master Zacharias lifted the ice with tongs like charcoal scissors and was quietly placed in a tilted glass. At that time, there was a small sound of ice and a glass hitting the cone, but so little I noticed.

Then, a silver tool in the shape of an hourglass, a tea that stands out in distilled liquor in a “major cup," is weighed and quickly poured over the ice. It quickly switched from a major cup to an unusual shaped spoon with a twisted patterned part, which was accurately turned only two revolutions. At that time I could barely make a sound, except for the sound of ice slipping.

"... that's it. When serving, first place this laminate (coaster) and place the glass over it. Glass makes you sweat..."

That's what they said, they put a thin, soft wooden plate on the table and put a glass on it. Its square coaster was painted with a raised lion's crest, the Rockhart family crest, in a burnt mark. It looks like the same material as the stopper in the bottle, and it looks like this was also made by Master Zacharias.

"Now, gentlemen, try what you think once and for all"

That's what Lady Zacharias said, and they handed out the rock glass in front of the samurai.

I was pretty tempered then. Because a glass of white gold coins was placed in front of me.

Everyone couldn't seem to move when the glass was placed in front of them. Because I also put that beautiful but unwanted thing in front of me, and I got gobbly throats ringing.

Maybe nobody noticed, but maybe the others were breathing, too.

I squeezed my courage and tried to grab my dreaded glass. That was much heavier than I imagined and this glass was incredibly transparent too.

Place round, neatly shaped ice in there. I lift the ice with a tong, but it's made in circles, so I can't grab it well inside. Even if I manage to grab it, I'm hesitant to put it in the glass. Because I wondered what I would do if I slipped my hand and broke it.

I was lucky enough to be put in the glass. When I put it in, the thong hit the glass and it sounded like a metal called Cheyne. For a moment, I was thrilled if it wasn't missing, but it was okay.

Horribly, I could afford to think, "That sounds beautiful."

But that spare time soon disappeared.

From a short distance, he said, "Cah! 'Cause I heard a little scream and a sound of Paris right after it.

At that moment, the air in the dining room froze at once. So much so that I feel the freezing cold air of the harsh winter has entered even though it is the middle of summer.

Guys, I'd like to see someone make a noise, but I'm afraid of the results and feel like I can't see them. We could harden up and nobody could move.

"Sorry......"

I heard a small voice in a plundering mood.

Apparently, it was Aina, the youngest fourteen-year-old in this membership, who broke it.

I could neither move nor speak to her. I couldn't do anything enough to think that this is the kind of situation that I don't know what to do.

In the meantime Aina was crouching, sickening and crying out. I'm usually a motivated bright daughter, Ko, but at fourteen, I can't help but cry out.

The first move was made by Master Barbara.

"I'm sorry. All responsibility lies with me, Me."

He stood before Master Zacharias to shelter Eina and bowed his head deeply. I can still count on this one. When I thought so, Master Zacharias was responding with the feeling that it was nothing.

I stopped and took a gentle peek at Master Zacharias. He held Aina's crouched shoulder and said in a gentle voice, "Are you hurt? Let me see your hands," he said gently, holding his back.

"I'm sorry... I'm sorry..."

Aina can only repeat it.

"Because you don't have to worry about it. Are you sure you haven't cut your hand better than that?

So you calmed down a little, Aina slowly raised her face. Her eyes swelled bright red and her complexion turned bright blue on the other hand.

Master Zacharias looked at Aina's hand and said, "It's a little cut. Because I'll heal you soon," he said, beginning to cast a healing magic spell.

At this time, it was out of place, but I remembered this one was a magician.

Still, Aina's tears don't stop.

Master Zacharias looked a little troubled, and there he came up with something, taking Aina's hand again,

"It's a corner, let's cure rough hands"

Saying that, he hangs more healing magic as he rubs Aina's hand.

Unlike your ladies, our samurai hands get really rough. Cleaning, laundry, etc. is fine because the downstairs will do it, but it's not like there's no water work at all. It's this time of summer, so it's still better, but in winter, my hands crack, and it's not what they showed me.

Aina couldn't keep up with this situation and was losing her word. And he looked blankly at his clean hands.

Still, when I notice the broken glass in front of me, the tears fall zero again.

Master Zacharias said, "Look good" with a gentle smile on his face, and he took a glass that had been nicely broken in two.

And when I cast a small spell, a bright white light overflowed from Master Zacharias's hand. It was dazzling and light enough to narrow my eyes.

When the light subsided, there was a glass back to normal. Master Zacharias stroked Aina's head,

"Look, it's okay. Keep practicing with confidence."

After giving Aina the look of incredibility, she rubbed her nose and thanked her many times.

It was surprising.

I thought if I broke that tool because I was bound by alcohol, it would make me very angry. Yet, because there was no harshness until just now, and he really cared for the young samurai.

I think everyone thought that.

In the meantime, I felt that only Aina was a little different. Her expression is a little shy, because then I feel glossy.

I was as tough as ever on the servants, but I was nice to our samurai. Apparently, Eina cried a little less.

We learned how to handle alcohol in a soothing atmosphere.

"... Besides On The Rock style, there are twice ups that divide water and distilled liquor one-on-one, water splitting divided four-to-one, and carbonation splitting that transformed water into carbonated water, but this is the first time customers will be mouthing distilled liquor, so you should suggest three kinds of straight, on the rock, and water splitting"

Even though that was explained, you said, "For once, you should taste everything," adding one explanation at a time, they made it.

"Twice up is the most distilled liquor scent, the way you can taste it. Thus…"

Master Zacharias' expression seemed really fun.

"... water splitting, but I personally would not recommend much. But this much alcohol may be better for those who drink it for the first time to taste it easily. Water please with prepared water. The reason is that we make water that tastes about the same as the water in the village of Rasmore, where the distillery is located... And it's carbonated, but this is difficult to make, so let's just take a look at it this time"

Master Zacharias said so, and they lined up the glasses one after the other.

The last carbonation split to be made just seemed to have turned the water split into carbonated water, but I hear it's very different.

"Keep distilled liquor, carbonated water, and tumblers cool. Unlike water cracking, no ice is allowed...... carbonated water pours quietly to let the back of the spoon be transmitted in this way. And when you're done pouring, quietly raise and lower the spoon and stir. The most important thing to pay attention to here is that the carbonation flies due to overmixing… and finally, it is scented with citrus peel"

As I explain, I cleverly pour carbonated water into the glass. Unlike the splitting of water, in a glass without ice, when I finished pouring the carbonated water, I cut the citrus peel thinly and was shaken by my arms as I skipped the skin juice. They say it's a “peel" move for everything, and it's perfect for a slight fragrance. The trick seemed like a very strange move to me. I don't know what to say.

And all the samurai saw the flavor one bite at a time.

I didn't think straight or on the rock was too good for me. I didn't think the watercress would taste so good either. But the carbonation split was so good that I wanted to try it again. Master Barbara and Chief Supplier Fergus were made to try, but they were completely different from those of Master Zacharias. I have no idea why it's different when I make it in the same amount and in the same procedure.

At some point we were having fun with the job of pouring alcohol.

I've found out this time. That this person loves alcohol very much.

I was convinced that the Dwarf blacksmiths would get a glimpse of alcohol because it seemed so enjoyable and serious.

In about an hour, he said, "You're just quick to remember. You'll be fine if you practice a little later," he said, turning to the servants.

I was a little sorry. Because it was getting really fun.

But that was all I had fun with. After this, it was hell.

Yes, because Master Barbara was naturally motivated.

"As you all know, Dear Zacharias (...) is a kind person. But we must not be sweet about it! We will now provide special training to meet the expectations of Master Zacharias! Nice to meet you."

Even though he had just been called "Sir Zacharias," Master Barbara had become familiar with him and called him "Master Zacharias".

I thought about that for a moment, but we all had to snort at its power not to let you say whether or not Barbara was there.

Master Barbara was still an excellent man.

He blushed his cheeks under the guidance of Master Zacharias, but was almost perfectly remembered in just an hour.

"Mr. Eleanor! What have you been asking me! The basic amount of On The Rock is...... Mr. Drossia! Mix it more gently! Soundy mixing will crush the ice! ……

Among other things, only Aina had fulfilled Master Barbara's strict standards.

Practice lasted until late that night.

Master Barbara wasn't convinced yet, but the day was over because the ice we prepared was gone.

It was the next day and we thought it would be okay today because we ran out of ice. But when I went to the dining room after work in the morning, a ton of ice was already ready.

When I asked my fellow samurai, it seemed that Master Barbara had asked Master Zacharias.

We dropped our shoulders disappointingly.

Of course, even we wanted to make the feast a success, but it was hard to train Master Barbara, who was motivated by Russia. So I guess that's what you have to think.

The servants seemed the same, and if they thought they ran out of bottles for practice, they seemed exactly as refilled as our ice.

In the end, all my free time was turned to practice that day.

We were all worried when we heard Master Zacharias was attacked by Harrison Gannell during practice. But the injury was no big deal, and I was happy to hear that Ganell had caught him, too, but only Master Barbara, who went directly to the Lockhart family to ask what was going on, was in a bad mood for some reason.

I didn't really know why, but apparently I didn't like that Master Zacharias was scolded.

I feel the special training after that was tougher than yesterday. I feel like a fair Barbara has been confused with the public and private sectors for the first time.

And we're done!

All the servants are rubbing their muscle pain arms, but they have a very good smile. We can't talk about people either. Muscles were screaming everywhere because they used unusual muscles. But now I don't care at all.

The night before the feast, after passing Barbara's demanding checks, the Hall and Baron Oldham also confirmed. And I could get an "impeccable" rating from both of you.

Some were delighted with tears.

No one ever laughed when they saw it. Yes, because my vision seeped a little too.
