Isekai Ryouridou
Twelfth day of the month of gold ① - resumption
The next day, from the twelfth day of the month of Friday, Mim was set to go down to Accommodation Town with us.
I also thought I should take my time for a day or so, but Mim couldn't be sweet like that with Mim, he felt. Early in the morning, without anyone's help, they finished cooking for as much as 50 meals.
"The ingredients prepared me at the Lew family. If this doesn't sell the food, I can't face anyone."
Mim spoke that way with a resolute face, but of course such a sad ending never came. The people who lived in Genos welcomed Mim's resumption of business by raising their hands.
The dedication is a dish of caron milk, also revealed in the Easter fold. Its cuisine, with its sleek and strange texture, was so popular that it sold out first from the time of Easter.
"The history has been unfortunate, but I am very pleased that the mimes will live in the Lou family. From now on, it's time to see the mimes' arms up close."
Between jobs, Raina-Lou said so.
On that side too, Mim has an unbeatable and resolute look on his face.
"When the rest period is over, will Asta have another study session at the Lou's? With the mimes on the spot, it feels like we can all get irresistible strength. I can't wait for it now."
"Right. It was an unfortunate incident for the mimes, but I hope it turns out to be a blessing."
Tour-Din and Yun-Sudra were also stroking their breasts for the first time when Mim and the others were set to leave. Now that Michelle's condition has recovered a little, I'm sure Mim will have a smile back as well. There are so many warm people in Lew's house that it should have healed Michelle's injuries as well as his heart.
"Hold on, stealing is a noisy story! Of course you had a lock on your house, didn't you?
It was Yumi, who visited as a customer, who was speaking that way to Mim, who snobbed the business.
Mime nods yes as the contents of the pan stir to keep it from burning.
"It was late at night, so I hung the keys. But they broke the plaid in the cook's window and broke into the house."
"Hmm. Turan is a noisy place, too. If I were you, I'd beat the crap out of those guys."
After stating so, Yumi put her arms up and slapped Mim on the shoulder.
"If you were me, you'd make a pile of copper coins soon! Why don't we just be folks by the woods? Then no one can ever be evil again!
Mim smiled so hard that she couldn't answer it.
In a place without a father, such a thing cannot be answered lightly, I presume. Even Yumi shouldn't be so serious just saying that to cheer up Mim.
(But I'll just send Mim to Castle Town, or... I wonder if Michelle originally had that idea, even if this doesn't happen anymore)
There is no such thing as an official restaurant in this lodging town or Turan. There is just a dining room in an inn or an outdoor snack shop run by its officials.
With Mim's skill, this stall alone would make a living.
But if we want to be high as cooks, we just have to move to Castle Town or Extra Town.
Moreover, with Mim's skill, it should never have been difficult to become a cook in Castle Town.
(Well, it's not a good story to have your mouth out of the side. Even Michelle wouldn't have left Mime in some store from so young)
After that, Dora's father and Tara also showed up, speaking to Mim.
In the morning, Terrier-Mass and I were also exchanging words, so this would have brought all the circumstances to bear, especially in the face of deep interaction.
What showed up in that was a trio I didn't really know about Mim.
No, I don't know if I can call this a trio, but anyway, they were approaching from the northern direction with three people.
Whoever it is, it is the Merchant Deal of the South and the Larvis with you, and the Astronomer Alishna of the East.
"Welcome. It's rare for everyone to come to the store together."
"Because! I ran into you at the castle gate! If you follow me, you can follow me."
"The destination is the same, so I don't think it's the only way."
It was the same, busy dial and deposited Alishna. Larvis, the escort, is secretly flirting with the face that killed his emotions.
Deal carefully intimidated Arishna with his bright, shimmering green eyes before turning to me.
"You smell delicious today! What kind of dish is this?
"This is a stewed Giva breast dish. It's tau oil, sugar and kelp roots that I use in broth."
"Heh, Kerr's root! You finally started using Kerr's roots?
Dial put his arms together and looked sideways at Arishna, grinning invincibly. Tau oil, as well as sugar and kelp roots, are of obvious jagal origin.
This, by the way, was an arranged dish of giva chashu, which was also active at the harvest festival. To be exact, it could be about halfway between 'Giva's Horned Stew' and Chashu. It's a block of rose meat tied with strings that I keep simmering even in the morning.
When serving to customers, lay the aria or tino or nenon boiled in another pan on a wood dish, then add the chopped meat and also sprinkle with plenty of broth. The accent is a pinch of chit fruit powder. The rose meat simmered by the broth could have been enough of the main dish.
"Well, I'll take one of these dishes! I don't know what to eat."
"Oh, if you like, how about that dish over there? I'm sure you've never had a real one, have you?
The dish over there is, of course, Mim's dish. Dial couldn't quite leave Castle Town during Easter either, so I was wondering if Mim's stalls would be visible for the first time.
"Hmm? Isn't that little girl from the woods?
"Yeah, the people of Genos, who are close to the people of the woods."
"Heh. You liked that stuff besides Asta."
Dial peered into Mim's stall with interest.
From the side of it, Alishna, wearing a hood, also lays her neck down all the time.
"... Um, come on, won't you stay away from me too close?
"But I, too, am intrigued"
Dial has a more intricate attitude, but from the point of view of it, it seems like a pretty good combination.
Then Mim looked back at them with a lot of decent face.
"Welcome. If you like. The price will be two red copper coins"
"This isn't the only size that makes me hungry, is it? All right, give it a try. Larvis, please give me some copper coins."
When Larvis offered him a white copper coin, Mim said, "Thank you," and returned the change for the red copper coin.
In so doing, grab the wood skewers that are coming out of the iron pan, scissor the meat and vegetables with the Poitan dough for each broth of caron milk, and definitely pull out only the wood skewers.
"Mmm, nice smell! Of course, this is Giva's meat too, isn't it?
"Yes, I use meat such as giva breasts and feet"
Dial hit Poitan's fabric with white teeth.
Moving his mouth wide, his eyes open to see.
"That's delicious! Heh, aside from Asta, there are people in Inn Town who can cook such delicious food."
"If you like it, I'm glad."
Mim can flatter his mouth.
If it had been before, I would have just given Deal a cheerful smile no less. Somehow Mim also felt a lot more grown up in this meagre period.
"... so can I, too, have it?
When Arishna offers the copper coin, Dial's expression switches quickly again.
"What is it? You've been waiting for me to tell you what I think? You're a sex-rooted little shimmy!
"That's what I meant, I didn't. But your satisfied smile, how intriguing, is the fact"
"Hmm! That sounds great!
To Deal and Alishna's interaction, Mim chuckled tiny.
Regardless of their mood, the interaction between these two names still makes the viewer feel nasty. Me and the others were associating themselves with the beautiful black cat and the barking Pomeranian.
"... Sure, it's delicious. I'm surprised."
"So that's what I'm saying! Damn, I'm pissed off."
That's how I spent the rest of my time, and then Deal turned to me.
"Then next time, Asta's cooking!... Speaking of which, does Asta attend something like the Count Dalaim's Ball?
"Yeah, I'm planning on doing that one last time. I haven't been officially offered yet."
I finished the story yesterday with Donda-Lou. So far, the conversation has settled in the direction of attendance, as there is no strong reason to reject the offer from the nobility. Participating members of the chieftaincy muscle are undecided, and I and others have been named by Polearths, so attendance was almost a certainty.
"Oh well. I'm lost, right? It's not like Asta and the others can cook."
"Oh, is Deal called to that meeting, too?
"Yeah, because you're totally familiar with your second son over there! But I don't have many opportunities to talk slowly with Asta, so I thought I'd attend."
"Oh well. If you know a lot of people, I'd be comfortable too.... By the way, in that case, will someone accompany you?
"Uh, it would be a pain in the ass if a strange nobleman told me. I'll take you to Larvis."
After stating it like that, Dial has been following me tightly.
"What about Asta? I knew it, that blind hunter?
"A hunter is a novel way to call her. Yeah, I'm gonna do that one more time."
Yes, I was sighing when I heard the terms told me by Polearths, "Then I'll have nothing else to keep my sword with, too," Ey-Fa said. The option of waiting outside the venue didn't seem to come to mind from the start.
"So, we talked about you being invited, too, right? I wonder why I get so many chances to run into you first time I go!
"Probably because of the porous earth, the edges, for the most part. Same nobility, same feast, naturally."
Apparently, Arishna has already decided to attend. Looks like he's invited as an astrologer, not a VIP.
"Then maybe the next time I see you is at that ball. If I have time, I'll show my face over here again!
That's how Deal and Arishna took their respective dishes and pulled them closer to the Blue Sky Dining Room.
After I see that, Mim calls me "Asta".
"Are the people of Castle Town now, too?
"Yeah. As you can see, it's the people of Jagal and Sim, so you're exactly the guests invited to the castle town."
"Really... if you're as skilled as Asta, that's how you can spin the edge with the people in Castle Town"
Mim lays her eyes down and drops her gaze over the pot where she is boiling.
That unusual appearance made me worry, after all, without refusing.
"If I said it with skill, Mim would be as good as me, right? Even the Vulcans appreciated that much, so that's for sure."
"No. Varcus also said you can't call a human being a good cook who can only cook one dish, right? I'm just a little apprentice girl who can only cook limited dishes with limited ingredients yet."
Saying so, Mim gently bit his lip.
And then, after a while of silence, you pound and twinkle with a small voice.
"I am still immature. I still... don't want to leave my father."
The voice was filled with grief that could not be hidden.
So I was strongly reminded that Mim was only an 11-year-old girl.
"I guess that's natural. I'm seventeen years old and I'm supposed to be away from my parents, but I wish I had more training under my father. This is how business works, but every day is a state of hand exploration."
"... Yes"
"Besides, Michelle is a cook fighting over one or two things in Genos. The best way for Mim to raise her arm is by Michelle. Donda-Lou will also tell you that Michelle's legs have healed and you don't need to leave the woods so soon."
Repeating the same words as "yes," Mim stuffed his eyes with the back of his hand, unable to look away.
However, he does not cry down, stirring the pan with a firm hand.
(I'm not going to give a mouthful to extra family circumstances, though -)
But still, it didn't seem quite right that a good parent and child would be separated by an irrational fate.
If you're a forest folk who weighs the edge of blood, you're sure to agree with me.
No matter how much you put your mind through it, one day there will always be a time for goodbye. Because I know that, I guess I should be up to the limit inside of being able to do that. I didn't believe it that way.
◇
That way the day's work could be completed without major turbulence.
Mim's stall sells all the food, of course. After cleaning up the stall, Mim was breathing deep relief.
"Good day, Mim. I knew you didn't have to worry about the rest of the sale. I wasn't worried about that from the start."
"Yes, thank you. Thanks to Asta and the Lew family."
Ever since I said that, Mim has stared at me with a very sorry look.
"So, um, I need to talk to Asta... can you just wait a while longer for the cost of yesterday's medication? I also have to give back my share of the ingredients to the Lew family, and I will need copper coins for tomorrow's business..."
"That doesn't matter any time. I hope you'll think about it after all the copper coins."
"But if it was meant to be, I'd have to give it back first..."
"Mim, that's too watery to say. If Mim was in my shoes, would you want me to give you back the copper coin or something?
Mim closed her eyes all the time and caught tears spilling before saying "thank you" again.
There, Raina-Lou approaches me as "good luck".
"Mim, in just fifty meals, you didn't cook enough, did you? Speak up whenever you need manpower to cook more food."
"Huh? But you can't be so sweet..."
"It's not sweet, it's a job request. We also interact with copper coins and are asked to help us with our work."
Rayna-Lew is smiling like a mime.
"Well, let's not talk about this until we get back to the settlement. You'll want to get back to Michelle soon."
That's how we went all the way to Luu's settlement.
We have to make our way to the Ravitz settlement for the convenience of the hand, so we can't stay very long. Still, I stopped by Barsha's house to make sure Michelle was feeling calm before I decided to head to work.
"See you tomorrow then. Be careful not to root too hard."
"Yes, thank you for everything"
Say goodbye to Mim and the people of the Lou family and roll out again to the woodland road.
Then soon Yun-Sudra called out.
"A mime is a fine daughter. I was so young, I was doing my job well."
"Yeah. Now in a few days, I guess you'll look as healthy as you've ever been. If I were eleven, I wouldn't have made it that far."
"Me too. I kind of like mime."
I totally agree.
I guess it was because the mimes were such people that Ai-Fa and Donda-Lu didn't hesitate to give up their hands either. The mimes must be equipped with something that only moves the hearts of the strict and innocent forestside people.
"Michelle in the first place was supposed to be kicked out of the castle town because of a nasty nobleman named Cycleus, right? If you tell the nobles the circumstances, will you also be allowed to live as a people of the castle town?
"Um, if Michelle was capable of working as a cook, I think she would have. As it is now, Michelle won't be able to earn enough copper coins to live in a castle town... and I don't suppose she feels like asking nobility for asylum in that state."
"Really?... but it makes you happy that Michelles relied on the people by the woods, not the nobles"
That, too, is totally agreeable. It didn't make me happy that Michelle, being stubborn and not trying to distract me, relied on the people by the woods this time without any hesitation.
(Because it's like Michelles and Barsha have their fates twisted because of Cycleus and Zazz-Sung. So unnecessarily Donda-Lou may also have felt unable to leave those people alone)
If I may say so, this was also an event on the prolongation of the disaster brought about by Cycleus and others.
But there is also a thankful adage that evil and bliss can be bruised by rope.
Happiness and unhappiness are overwhelming, and they come as frightening ropes.
I would hope that Michelle and Mime, who have been hit by all this ordeal, will have more happiness and hope than that.
Even I - after losing everything I've given in seventeen years of raw, I was able to give you my present happy raw.
Ahead, there may be another great calamity or misfortune awaiting us. But furthermore, people will have to live, believing that there will be days ahead full of happiness and hope again.
That's what I was thinking.
