Isekai Ryouridou

Start of Rainy Season ③ ~ Regular Meeting ~

If you took about two minutes to finish the study group, then you will move on to the regular meeting.

This faction was supposed to have me, Lara-Lou and Zwei-Lutim attending the regular meeting, and Reina Lou, Tour-din and Yun-Sudra, along with their guest Platica, stayed in the kitchen to prepare the dinner. The nobles acting as inspectors seem to be willing to move around and visit both.

"We will now begin our regular meeting. Today, we're running out of agenda seeds."

As Tapas predicted, that day's regular meeting seemed to be more feverish than ever.

The first fire was about Yatai Village, which continued until yesterday.

"We were cooking off-the-shelf until the end. As far as sales are concerned, it was never bad... that's why I don't feel comfortable in this position."

"We also escaped the deficit, but I can't say that the hardship was rewarded. If you think the street food is bad, it will appeal to the reputation of the inn."

It was the owners of the inn who had a thin relationship with Nokinami who said that. At the very least, people like me who have names have been able to achieve definite results in Yatai Village.

So you're not going to leave the stall even after the rainy season? Then the shop is going to miss you a little bit. "

"Don't be silly. I wonder if it can be pulled back while it's off the hook. It looks like you left the stall to embarrass yourself."

"So, what do we do? Do you want me to go by the woods and ask you to be friendly?

The laughter rose, but fortunately, I could not feel the sound of shouting at the people around the forest. I suppose it meant that we could build a relationship that was so cheap that it seemed like a joke.

However, with regard to the upsetting husband, it seemed that he was not in a position to laugh.

"Today, people around the woods take care of me a lot, so I can't cause any more trouble... but the lodging that involved people around the woods has been a huge success, right?" Tai Tree Pavilion in the South "and" Nishi Wind Pavilion "have made a lot of sales..." Kimus's Tai Tree Pavilion "is not worth mentioning, is it? The restaurant in the inn is filled with customers every day."

"Hmm. Are you crying again? If that's all you want from the woods, cry as much as you want."

Remarkable to a giant whale, Lema-Gate said so with a rough nose.

Your husband's eyes are turning towards us after he's lost a lot of energy.

"I'm not bothered by people around the woods all the time... is it just annoying that such a person made me cry?

Lara-Lou looked back with strong and bright eyes.

"So you're officially asking for help? Or is it just a joke?

"What? No, I mean... if I really ask for help, is that all you can do?

"It's up to the chief of the forest and the man in the town to decide. That's how the people around the woods take jobs from downtown."

Lara-Lou said while keeping her spine straight.

"Because the people around the forest must correctly bond with the people of Genos, you can't imitate yourself unless you get forgiven by a man in a position, right? If I just put my shoulder on you, it might affect my bonds with other people."

That's right. It's not fair that you're the only one around the woods. "

"That's right. Because it's not like the people who used to have bonds."

I'm getting involved with other masters and generating more enthusiasm.

Tapas spoke as if he had not seen it.

"The people around the forest once told the owners of the inn that they had hands-on cooking... is that limited to Kimus's Tail Pavilion and Westwind Pavilion? I suppose you only wholesale the finished dishes in" Daikokutei in the South "and" Xuanhongtai "?

"Yes, Kimus's Tail Pavilion has always taken care of me, and as far as The West Pavilion is concerned... I couldn't get you to buy the finished dish, so I decided to cook the gibberish to buy the gibberish meat."

On behalf of the people around the forest, I said so.

"I was also personally close to the daughter of Westwind Pavilion, so I quickly learned how to make Worcester sauce, ketchup, mayonnaise and dressing. However, I also told other masters how to make them at the study group."

That's right. When it comes to how gibberish meat is handled, we do the same at the study group. When you think about it, it doesn't seem that different from the benefits of Nishi Wind Pavilion. "

Instead of flattering himself, Tapas responded accordingly.

"As for Kimus's Tail Pavilion, there may be more to it... that's why we have a deep bond with the people around the forest. Without the help of Kimus's Tail Pavilion in the first place, it would have been difficult for the people around the forest to even open a shop in the post town, so I don't think we can call it special treatment."

"That's why I've been saying that since the beginning. Why do I have to be told like this?"

One of his masters, who was unable to produce results from the stall business, said so in a shady tone.

Then Lara-Lou looks at you again with her bright blue eyes.

"Hey, what kind of lodger are you?

"Huh? Me? I'm in an inn called" Zelia's Tsurugi Pavilion "...."

Having heard that name, Lara-Lou laughed "Aha".

"Zelia is a princess knight who comes out of a fairy tale, right? Well, I didn't forget that name because it's easy to remember."

"Huh? How do you know the name of our inn?

"When I invited that Geld's Kamado-no-Platica to the Lou house for dinner, I heard about the gibberish food that people in town were selling. So, Platica said that the street food served by the inn called" Zelia's Tsurugi Pavilion "was terrible."

The stall sign had the name of the inn on it, and Platica had Nicolas read it. There were only a few dishes she could eat in one day, so she would have preferred to buy her favorite stall dishes.

Anyway, the husband of Zelia's Tsurugitei dropped his shoulders.

"You don't have to chase me after anything like that... you're mad at me because I've been serving horrible dishes with my guinea pig meat?

"No, no, no. I thought if I wasn't so good at my job, I might be able to help even if it wasn't my turn to stand up like Asta or Raina's sister."

Lara-Lou said this with a mix of the original cheerfulness and the depth of mind recently acquired.

"Asta and Reina's sister have their own training, and they originally took care of other things around the woods. That's right, I don't think we'll have much time. But even women like Lou's branch or family have been trained for more than a year, so I don't think there are many people who are that bad at work."

"Are these people going to help me?

"So it is the chiefs and the people in the town who decide it.... what do you think of Zwei-Lutim?

And for some reason, Lara-Lou pointed water at Zwei-Lutim there.

Zwei-Lutim, who listened silently to Lara-Lou's conversation, said, "Hmm!" and snorted his nose with a momentum unbeatable to Lema-Gate.

"If you're going to make things easier for someone you don't even know, that's where you want your bronze, sir. People around the woods aren't that stupid."

"Yes, I agree," Lara-Lou agreed.

"The people around the forest are supposed to make the right bonds with the people in the town, but I don't think they should help with anything. If you ask me to help you with your work at home, the people in town will be in trouble, right?

"Well, well, we can't hunt gibbers..."

"It's not that extreme. Hmm, for example... there's a dish called Toji in the workplace town, right? Something like," I spilled the dirt and baked it. "

Touji? Ah, ceramics. If it's like a ceramic dish, I've got some inside. "

"Yeah. So what if you want me to come to the forest settlement and show you how to make it? Shouldn't we be paying for it?

Thinking about it, Lara-Lou said so.

"Even when a nobleman asks for a job like today, we're paying for it. When you ask people in the south to rebuild the shrine, we pay the price. Normally, when you ask for a job, you pay the price, right?

"I see. You're not asking for help as a friend, you're asking for a formal job."

Tapas clapped his mouth as he felt something.

"If that's the case, it's a fair story. I'm not going to get any special benefits, so I won't complain from anywhere... and if you complain, you just have to pay the same amount of bronze and ask for a handy one."

"Yeah, that's right. I don't think it would be nice to lend a hand for a coin. But Astor is deepening ties with Naudis and Nail, right? Whether it's bronze or not, I think we can deepen the bond just by working together."

That said, Lara-Lou spilled her white teeth.

"Well, I don't know how powerful the woodside kamadori turn is. Now, I don't think Platica would ever say anything terrible to Lou's family or the crowd."

"My cooking sounds like such a terrible thing."

After saying it with a weepy face, the master of Zelia's Tsurugi Pavilion turned back to Tapas.

"Well, hey, who the hell should I talk to about this? I knew you'd need the nobles' forgiveness, right?

That's right.... what do you say, Lord Pollux?

Porcus and the others were waiting for us just outside the meeting room. The master of Zelia's Tsurugi Pavilion, who apparently did not realize it, shrugged his neck like a child who was looked up to evil.

"That's right. As far as I'm concerned, I can't say anything... but it doesn't seem like I need the nobility's forgiveness. It's not forgiveness, it's what we need to talk about."

"So, how should we take it?

"After all, I should report to Count Saturus, the lord of the post town, and Melfrid, the mediator with the people around the forest. If you need me, I'll tell Mr Melfridge that I'm your assistant."

"Then I will be the Count of Saturas. Can I leave the forest chiefs to Lord Lara-Lou?

"Yes, if the chiefs say no, that's all."

So, the conversation was concluded while I was happy.

Not only the master of Zelia's Tsurugitei Pavilion, but many people are giving a warm sigh. Tapas raised his voice to calm it down.

"We just stopped the stall business. I hope we can raise our arms and restart our business during the rainy season."

Tapas then looked back at Lara-Lou with a smile.

"Incidentally, the dormitory stall is nothing but a commercial enemy for the people around the forest... but you don't have to get rid of it there, do you?

"Yeah. Isn't that great, Aster?

"Of course, good thinking is the cornerstone of business. We just want to make sure we can cook a delicious dish that we can't beat."

"Hmph. If they serve bad guinea pig food, the value of the guinea pig meat may go down, sir."

Therefore, the matter was closed by waiting for the reply of each person in charge.

"Now, on the next agenda… let's also talk about street food business during the rainy season as a highly relevant topic. We agreed to work together until yesterday, but what should we do from tomorrow?

When Tapas looked around, Naudis made a statement dressed to receive it.

"I'm very sorry, but I'd like to take a break from the stall for a while. I have to figure out how to use the ingredients I bought from Geld."

"Yes, because during the rainy season, the number of stalls selling food will be reduced by half, so many people will think like that."

And Lema-Gate said, "What are you going to do?" he asked.

Tapas smiles back his words.

"Of course, our inn plans to reopen its stall business from tomorrow. Disseminating new ingredients to the workplace town is an important request received by my inn and the people around the forest."

"Hmm. I'm sure your inn has already found a new way to use the ingredients. Still, if you want to help, give him a name?

"I don't think it would be helpful. Isn't it easy to sell stalls so that you can get customers just by using novel ingredients?

Tapas, the president of the Chamber of Commerce, knows how to treat Lema-Gate.

After all, Lema-Gate raised the edge of her mouth to a pleasant feeling.

"I'm sure the others will step on their feet anyway. I won't let you and the people around the woods think well."

So, will Arrow's Crush Pavilion also serve as a stall?

"Ah, I'm the one selling the finest sweets on the street, no matter what new ingredients you use. I'll earn anything during the rainy season."

It was also a declaration of war against Tour-Din, who was selling confectionery on the street, but he was in the middle of working as a chef, whether happy or unhappy.

Well, if it were Tour-din, it would be enough to make your eyes shine even during the rainy season to taste the sweets from Arrow's Crumb Pavilion on the street.

"So what about the others? If we're going to put out the stall anyway, I hope we can do it together again."

There was a husband who named him Glitter. I wonder if Tanto's Pavilion of Grace and Arrow's Pavilion, which were popular in Yatai Village, could be together.

Looking at them satisfactorily, Tapas glanced back at the father and daughter of Westwind Pavilion.

What about Nishi-Feng-tei? It would be very comfortable if we could get out of the stall together. "

"It's an honorable offer, but we'll stop. If the price of Poitan jumps, it's hard to make money."

Sam answered with a slight glance. Westwind Pavilion suppresses the amount of high-value ingredients - that is, gibberish meat - and serves the volume of cooking in the poitan dough, so the effect of the soaring poitan will be noticeable. In addition, the inability to handle tino, which is indispensable for okonomiyaki, should have been a major factor.

"That's a shame. If you change your mind, please feel free to let us know. Now, let's move on to the next agenda item -"

Thereafter, the agenda was raised one after the other by the progress of the tapas.

In the process, we can also talk about Turan, which is part of a major transformation.

"The northern people who worked in Turan were sent to Jagal on the departing tea moon, so they are already in a state of shuddering welcome to the new people. So far, it doesn't seem to have had a significant impact on the town... how about that?

"Ah, I don't hear you're running out of ingredients. So far, you're sending vegetables directly from Durham?

"Yes, they are preparing their meal in your partition. It seems that some of the newly relocated people take it as a job."

I've heard rumors that they're preparing lunch and dinner in a rations format. I wonder if that kind of care is needed until the lifestyle is ready.

Moreover, agricultural work in Turan should have ended with the onset of the rainy season. From now until the start of the rainy season, work such as the construction of a wall in Durham seemed to be allocated.

"As the rainy season begins and a new life is established in Turan, the chances of new residents visiting the town will increase. As the people of the same Genos, we have to carry hands."

Tapas concludes the conversation in a gentle manner and presents a new topic. Regular meetings continued unabated under a competent partitioner.

After a while, the area around the entrance became rough. The escorts, Ai-Fa and Rud-Lou, arrived.

"Sorry to disturb you. We're the guards on the way home, so don't worry about it."

Hunters near the forest also wear long-sleeved clothing during the rainy season. However, since the hunter's clothes did not have a hood, it was common to cover his head with something like a bandana. The hood is considered an obstacle to gibberish hunting because it blinds your eyes and ears.

And Ai Fa was dressed the same way as Ludo Lou on this occasion. If it serves as an escort, the hunter's outfit would be appropriate.

Ey-Fa and Rud-Lou, who entrusted the hunter's clothes and wet bandana to the innkeepers, took their seats overlooking the conference venue. The hunters around the forest appeared at the regular meeting every time, so when the first surprise passed, the scene quickly calmed down.

And the emergence of the hunter near the forest means that the sunset is approaching. From my stomach condition, I felt that it was almost time to close the meeting.

"Now then... as you all know, during the rainy season, night-time theft is rampant. Please be careful to lock the inn."

Ey-Fa, who had just taken his seat, reacted twitchingly to Tapas's words.

"Excuse me. Allow me, an outsider, to speak up.... for what reason is theft rampant during the rainy season?

"During the rainy season, it is difficult to set fire to the streets, and the guards rely on lanterns to patrol, so there are not many outlaws trying to break through the gap. There must be a tendency for theft to increase not only in the workplace towns, but also in Durham's fields."

"It's the first time I've heard that.... is there no change in the level of danger during the day?

"I don't suppose theft is widespread during the day… but it seems that the number of outlaws in the slums tends to increase in order to work evil at night."

Answering like that, Tapas looked at Sam.

Sam snorts as he stares at the inn in the back street that leads to the slums.

"So far, I don't see any bad guys. They'll shrink in the first place out of fear of the guards' eyes, so they won't show up in the light."

I see. I feel sorry for the extra words. "

"No, people around the woods earn more than any stall, so don't worry. Please rest assured that the guards are carefully patrolling during the day."

That's what Tapas said, and I didn't even have the impression that there would be more outlaws during the rainy season. But after all, I've never heard of an increase in the crime rate at night.

(There's still a lot we don't know.)

While I was chewing on that sentiment, there were more visitors in the guest seat. He is lowering his hips to an empty seat while rarely looking at Ai-Fa and Rud-Roux. In addition, Alvach and Nanaquém and others seemed to be attracting more attention.

"So, is this the end of the regular meeting? At dinner, I want you to savor the ingredients you bought from Geld."

As Tapas declared so, Eye-Fahs approached our table. A distracted husband opened his seat and sat down thanking him. Raina Lou and the others who had to prepare for dinner also had to be welcomed, so only Milano-Mouth stayed at this table.

"I wonder if it's been since the last time you stopped by. It's magnificent, above all."

When Milano-Mouth called out like that, Ludo Rowe smiled "Neither did you". Unlike us, who look at each other every day, the hunters rarely get to meet with the people in the inn.

Then, as I interact and talk amusely, the noble people come closer at the head of Tapas. Something came to mind.

"Excuse me. May I use this table?

It was not us who were called to do so, but the face of the table next door. Those who feared the might of Geld's gentlemen said, "Of course! Leaving behind the words, he moved to his seat early.

"I'm sorry. I still need to get a seat nearby to tell them what I think of cooking."

Alvach and the others lowered their hips, headed by the innocent laughing Porcus. Fermez, who stood in the middle and turned his back, slipped the collar around his mouth and smiled at me and Ai-Fa.

"It's been since the Purple Moon that I've been visiting the inn's regular meetings. I think it was also very interesting today."

Hmm, is that so? We barely listened to each other! "

When Ludo Lu responded cheerfully from the side, Fermez narrowed his eyes even more joyfully.

"We also saw a lot of deep agendas for the people around the forest. I'm looking forward to seeing what the chiefs around the forest will do."

"Has the story come up that overshadows my father's judgment? I'll let him hear it slowly at home. I'm starving right now, and I can't turn my head anymore!"

Seeing Ludo Lu and Fermez interact with each other seems like a lot of rustling, but since they are both my pace, there is nothing unusual about them.

Alvach and Nanaquém, who are still wearing their jackets, are sitting with their spines open like statues, while Gemdo is holding back like the shadow of Fermez. So Pollus - surprisingly, laughed at Milan-Mouth.

"It feels like it's a lot rusty with you. The relationship with the people around the forest seems to be the same, above all."

Milan-Mouth bows while pushing emotions to kill. I wondered if there would have been an opportunity for the two of them to face each other, and I wandered through the depths of my memory.

"Ah... I see. When we got to know Porcus, we had an intimate conversation in the dining room of Kimus's Tail Pavilion."

"Yeah, that's right. Besides, I've had a few face-to-face meetings with the owner of the main inn when I changed the price of gibbon meat."

Speaking of which, there was something like that. Before and after the commotion over the Earl of Turan's house, Pollus also went to his workplace town more than ever before.

And when Fermez came to Genos, he heard that he had been visited by the people of the forest and the inn. Having a relationship with the people around the forest increases the chances of meeting the nobles unexpectedly.

(This time, I joined Alvach and Nanaquém. Should I be sorry?)

As I thought so, Alvach leaned his obsidian sculpted face towards Milan-Mouth.

"... is he the master of Kimus's Tail Pavilion?

Milano-Mouth of the monarch also seems a little gawky, but he still responds with perseverance and "yes".

"Kimus's tail pavilion", street food, "Kimus bone ramen", it was delicious. Miso tailoring and tau oil tailoring are both excellent. "

"... thank you for your excessive words."

"Don't overdo it. Aster, I've heard about the original dishes, their ingenuity, their additions. Excellent original completeness, intact, ingenuity, extra effort."

Milano-Mouth seemed to have no idea what to answer, making his eyes black and white.

I'll sneak up on you at such Milano-Mouth.

"It's okay. The sharpness of the eyes, the gravity of the tone and the lack of expressions combined are incredibly powerful, but they should only be telling honest emotions."

"... really? I feel like I'm about to be knocked down."

Then Alvach leaned his neck slightly like the trunk of a tree.

"Did I do something rude?

"No, I'm honored to have taught you how to make ramen."

"Mm-hmm. If the temperature goes down, the ramen flavor, even more prominent, is certain. Gerd, before I leave, I want to stop by the stall, I hope."

That said, Alvach turned back to the front. Milano-Mouth breathes relief as he sweats cold.

So, today's dinner was finally brought in by Tanto's Grace Pavilion employees and Raina Lou.

"Thank you for your patience. We will distribute it in order, so please wait."

Mind the eyes and ears of the Alvach people, or the owners of the inn have an adult atmosphere. However, the eyes that were directed towards cooking all seemed to be flashing with hope.
