Isekai Ryouridou

A little while later, the taste comparison vote began.

We don't have the right to vote, and in the meantime, we're going to say hello to our nobles.You were invited to separate rooms one by one to hear your thoughts, so someone stayed in their seats.

"Congratulations, Fermez. I'm sorry I don't have enough food to eat today."

When I called out like that, Fermez, who was secretly in her seat by herself, smiled quietly "no."

"The fact that people like me are sitting here is inappropriate in itself, so we don't have to worry about asterisks.But I'm really glad you care about it every time. "

Fermez felt unwell.

Did you think the same as me, Ei = Fa said, "Hmm?"Eyes shrugged.

"What's wrong, Fermez?I wonder if I've been hit by a sick man again. "

"No, that's not true.It's just... you must be really depressed. "

"Depression? You?"

And Ai-Fa opened her eyes in surprise.

Certainly that would be an astonishing statement.

"Why is Vermes depressed?"... do you have anything to do with the royals? "

When I whispered, Fermez also whispered "yes."

"As you know, I'm an eclectic who can't eat the meat of a beast.That's why I bought His Highness Dakarmas' embarrassment. "

"If you're not interested... can I say something to reprimand you?"

"No. His Highness Dakarmas is like that, so don't reprimand the others."Not to mention that I am a nobleman of the western kingdom.... but it's clear that Dakarmas ignores me.And because a tasting party is a party to share the joy that comes from the taste of cooking, you don't really want people like me to attend. "

"Hmm," Eye Fa joined in a whisper.

"It's true that you've been feeling a lot quieter at previous tastings.They were all made to avoid unnecessary objections. "

"Yes, but as a diplomat, I can't afford not to be here."That's why he's holding his breath so he doesn't bother His Highness Dakarmas. "

"Hmm... you had such a side.I was caught in the unexpected. "

"Surprise? Really?"

"Hmm. I was wondering if you weren't depressed, no matter who you neglected.I never meant anything wrong, but I thought he was so strong. "

"Ah," said Fermez, smiling with his inherently innocent and elegant smile.

"I am not obsessed with the fact that His Highness Dakarmas has neglected me.Even in the Western kingdom, there were many people who were alienated from me, so such a story is customary. ”

“So why are you doing that?”

"Of course, that's because you have to restrain yourself from wanting to talk to Aster."

Having said that, Vermes turned to me with a sweet look.

"Apart from this, His Highness Dakarmas loves the presence of Aster.I'm sure it's not uncomfortable for me to talk to Asta in a place like this where I don't even have a cooking taste.That's why I have to restrain myself... but it is painful for me to refrain from interacting with Asta in the same place.It's as if Princess Perilla had fallen in love with someone else. "

"... Princess Perilla?"

"Was Perilla's Sadness not part of the puppet act?Princess Perilla, who was in love with the rest of the aristocracy with her forgiveness, could only see the miss from afar at the feast, and would be distressed by her grief. "

"... I don't know about that, but you seem to be exactly what I thought you were."

Ai-Fa became the top of the Buddha, and I threw a bitter smile at Fermez.

"But I'm sure this will stop the tasting."Will Fermez's struggles be over? "

"No, His Highness Dakarmas would like to attend a feast near the forest, and at the end he would like to refrain from a farewell feast.Every time, I will suffer the same pain as Princess Perilla. "

Fermez said with a sweet light on the mysterious Hazel Eye.

As far as I'm concerned, I'm having trouble responding.

"However, since all responsibility lies with me, I have no choice."Don't worry about me, Astor and the others have a good time.... I'm afraid that what you're talking about with me will also be reported by Her Majesty's maids and brothers. "

That last word led us to leave Fermez.

As I move on to the next seat, I whisper to Ai-Fa.

"Even though Vermes said he wasn't good at drawing people's emotions."Do you really think His Highness Dakarmas is neglecting Fermes? "

"He will not suppress his desires without confirmation.Besides, it's impossible for a person as bright as that to be able to absorb the emotions of others. "

"But you said that yourself on the Day of Doom, didn't you?"

"Wasn't that... you didn't know how to behave towards someone you cared about?"

That said, Ey-Fa followed me sideways.

"Rather, he seems to be good at seeing through people's moods.Even so, I wonder if it was because I hurt someone I care about so much. "

”Yeah, well, maybe that's the case... but the phrase 'someone I care about' is a bit itchy”

Well, can you say that to someone you miss?

"Please don't. No matter what anyone thinks, my thoughts are..."

I didn't have to say any more embarrassing words because Ey-Fa had a red face around my head.

And on the way, there are innocently smiling daughters waiting for you.A young couple of Merim and Sudra, reunited with Hisasa.

"Ah, Asta and Ey-Fa.Thank you for the wonderful food today. "

Merrim, the companion of Porcus, was also a poor man today.Chim Sudra and EA FOW Sudra, who were acquainted at Toth's early rush celebrations, also spoke with Merrim in a calm and calm manner.

"The results of the taste comparison will soon be revealed.The people around the woods said they weren't interested in taste, but my chest was pounding. "

"Really? The people around the woods are a little confused about how to enjoy a taste comparison."

When I answered that, Merrim cutely put his fingertips on his chin.

"I'm watching the tournament and Toth's early runs with the same sentiment.I don't know if you're saying that it's innocent to take turns... but isn't it possible to get great pleasure from competing? "

"Yes, I can enjoy and support the rest of the competition.However, since cooking can be divided between good and bad by personal preference, you may wonder what it means to take a majority vote. "

Answering like that, I made Merrim laugh.

"However, since we didn't intend to compete from the beginning, we settled on the idea of not being obsessed with the results of the taste comparison.Whatever the outcome, we will accept it. "

“I see, but I'm honest that I can't take any turns today because I've had more amazing food than I've ever had before.”

When Merrim responded, a beautiful bell rang.His Highness Dakarmas, who had summarized all the participants' thoughts in the separate room, came back.

The people welcome His Highness to Dakarmas with solemnity.His Royal Highness Dakarmas smiled with a smile, and a small family name of a rolling body came forward.

"Thank you for your patience.Now that we have the results of the taste comparison, we will announce it. ”

The people around the forest settled on the conclusion that they would not value the entertainment.However, the other attendees seemed to be listening to the word "surname" with a full sense of urgency.

"Today, 111 people participated in the taste comparison.As always, you will be awarded a medal from 1st to 3rd place, so please remember that. "

I looked up at Ai-Fa, but I could only see a calm look on her face.

The surname repeats the words with a clear voice.

"Now, let me announce. The number one is… Astor, who won 16 stars."

The pressing air was crushed by a hot cheer.

Merrim and the nearby people smile at me and give me a warm applause.I have decided to return the pardon to your people and join Faye Baim in the pursuit of His Highness Dakarmas.

(I'm surprised I came first.But 16 votes was a pretty close match.)

When I arrive, His Highness Dakarmas, who smiled at me, is waiting for me.

My chest is once again decorated with a yellow medal.

Turning back toward the hall, everyone is clapping their hands with an expression of admiration and joy.

Although there was no particular attention to the results of the flavor comparison - Yun-Sudra and Yumi were delighted as if they were ours - it still didn't seem to be appreciated.

I also thanked your people and withdrew beside His Highness Dakarmas.

Waiting for the cheers and applause to stop, the younger boy drops his eyes on the book of his hand.

"Next, the second place goes to Reina = Lou and Malfira = Naham, who won 15 stars."

What a coincidence, the two who served soup dishes ranked second.

Reina Lou has a tight face, and Murphyra-Naham comes forward each with an unprecedented amount of confusion.And the Ladies of Ray and Naham's youngest sister, who followed him, revealed pure joy.

"Next, third place is… Limi Lou and Tour-Din, who have won 14 stars."

This cheer also included a surprising sigh.

Again, the two who served the same confectionery became equal.

Moreover, to date, the difference in each ranking is one vote at a time.It was a rather strange coincidence.

And the coincidence was not over yet.

"There will be no more winners for the Medal.Those who have missed the prize are… the 13-star Mime comes fourth, the 12-star Yun-Sudra and Ray-Matua come fifth. "

In the hall, there was a further sigh.

From the top to the bottom, there was a one-vote difference.

His Highness Dakarmas raised his voice after the stagnation in the venue was slightly quiet.

"This time, it matched a really interesting result!We also had a tough match at the tasting by the townspeople, but this time it was even more tough!All the stars are one vote apart, and it is the first time that three groups of stars have the same ratio, as far as I can remember!I feel like I've been subdued by the gods of heaven... for the innocence of cooking in order! "

His Highness Dakarmas began to speak, and the hall became quiet.

In the meantime, His Highness Dakarmas' wild voice echoes loudly.

"Moreover, at this tasting, I heard that there was no feeling of competing with the people around the forest!"Those around the forest, headed by Asta-don, did not put their teeth on the afternoon of taste comparison, but just showed off what they had to do - a novel use of Geld's ingredients!And you prepared all the dishes to make sure that it wasn't just a similar dish and to please everyone!I cannot forbid you to be impressed with your pure heart!From the bottom of my heart, I would like to convey my gratitude to the people around the forest! "

It is usual for His Highness Dakarmas to be full of energy, but this time he felt like he was getting a fever.

"And it's going to be a general review... and here we are again with a very interesting result!First of all, there is no big difference in the breakdown of votes!People from all walks of life threw their stars at each dish almost evenly, so this is what happened!Among them, if I may make a special note... I think that the first Astar was voted by the chefs of the castle town, and the second Reina Lou and Marfila-Naham were voted by the east!Astadha was like an appetizer or side dish, but the mysterious way he handled Shaska surprised the city's cooks!After all, the second-ranking people gained the support of the eastern people because of their herbal skill! "

His Highness Dakarmas, who listened to the thoughts of 110 people, excluding himself, began to talk about the details today.

Although it is a slight difference, it seems that there was a lot of support from the post town for Tour-din's confectionery and from the castle town for Limi Lou's confectionery.Though the treatment of Tour-din's meless was mysterious and unique, the taste itself was an intensely pure finish, so the delicate and elegant aspects of Rimi-Lou's confectionery would have calmed down to those results.

Mime's cuisine was average.It is said that this is the result of collecting equal votes from people of all identities.

The people of the east did not think that vanilla was not enough, the people of the south did not complain that it was painful, the people of the castle town did not think that it lacked luxury, and the people of the workplace town did not think it was a strange dish - anyway, they gathered support from thousands of people.His Highness Dakarmas knew that the failure to win the prize was rather due to the lack of a prominent part, and that the reputation of the castle town would be the result of the passing of the reputation of the eastern people to me and the reputation of Reina-Lou.

Yun-Sudra's cuisine was remarkable, but it seemed that the similarity with the ramen of [Kimusu's Tail Pavilion] had slightly pulled her legs.It was delicious, but it seemed to me that I was hesitant to add the stars to the ramen.

Although Ray-Matua was a completely intact side dish that did not use meat or fuwano dough, it did well with difficult Persian oiled and gelded cheeses, and was never lacking.Instead, it seemed that people who had been impressed with how satisfied the side dishes would be.

But anyway, the difference was one vote at a time.

If there was another people in the east, Raina Lou or Marfila-Naham might have come first.If there were two more confectionery lovers, Tour-din or Limi-Lou might have been in first place.Yun-Sudra might have been in first place if the ramen from [Kimusu's Tail Pavilion] had not been shown first.It was such a close battle that I couldn't help but recall it.

"I am satisfied from the heart!I feel comfortable offering a medal to all eight without putting the order on the dishes!I'm sure that's why all eight of the people around the forest came together to create the joy of today!It would be a shame to pull people from the forest without a reason to compete into a tasting party! "

So His Highness Dakarmas suddenly gave a peace sign to the people in the hall.

Thinking what kind of signal is this, His Highness Dakarmas said, "Twice!Let go of the voice.

"Just two more times, I want you to keep up with me!It's nothing but euphoria that I pour into gastronomy, but!I also believe that this will contribute little to the prosperity of Genos!Could you please join us for this tasting only two more times? "

I had to face the surrounding Raina Lou.

I had no idea what kind of theme I was going to have for a tasting party anymore.

"Originally, I was thinking of holding one more!However, because your cooking skills were more than you could imagine, it was decided that one time was not enough!At the next tasting, we would like you to compete with the people of the castle town who have been awarded the medal so far, the people of the station town and the people around the forest!And I want to divide it between the culinary and the confectionary sectors! ”

More gestures than ever before swept the hall.

Of course, we are surprised to be unable to defeat it.

"The culinary area consists of Asta, Reina Lou, and Marfila-Naham from the forest settlement!From the post town, the "Kimus Tail Pavilion", the "Tai Tree Pavilion in the South", the "Xuan Ong Pavilion"!From the castle town, Lord Vulcus, Lord Bozur, Lord Timaro!In the confectionery area, from the forest side settlement, Lord Tour-Din and Lord Limi Lou!From the station town, hall of Arrow's Crumbling Pavilion, hall of Randall's Long Ear Pavilion!From the castle town, Lord Yang, Lord Dia!... Diamond has not been awarded a medal alone, but the result is the fourth largest difference between two votes, and no one doubts his arm!I would also like to put an end to my pastime with these tastings! "

His Highness Dakarmas proclaimed so loudly that he could not defeat the staggering of the hall.

"However, we have held a tasting party every three days, so you will be even more exhausted!Also, if you have a tasting party too long, it's not worth it if you don't have time to review the content!At least, I want everyone to have at least 10 days to cultivate their spirit! "

Then at least ten more days are planned to stay in Genos.In total, it was going to be a stay of more than a month.

"That's it for me!We're only halfway through the conversation, so please have a meaningful time! "

Where the wind blows, such as the confusion of the people, His Highness Dakarmas slowly returns to his seat.

One of our maiden names gently calls out to us in a daze.

Now, here are the five people who have been awarded the medal.

On our way to His Highness Dakarmas, Ei Fa and Ziza Lou met on the way.

His Highness the Dakarmas is waiting for us with an unchanging smile.

"Ladies and gentlemen, good work!" Sorry for the inconvenience, but I often want to get along with you guys! "

Next to His Highness Dakarmas, Princess Del Share smiles.

And next to it, Malstein was smiling like he was easing us.

"If Ziza = Luu accompanied me, it would be just right."My Lord Dakarmas, why don't you tell me about the incident? "

"I see! May I leave it to the Holy Father Genos?"

"I understand.... the next tasting was supposed to be more than ten days' respite, but before that, I'd like you to have a welcome feast in the woodside settlement."

It was a project that had already been solicited on its own.His Highness Dakarmas, Princess Del Share, and Robros of the mission were invited to a feast by the forest.

"I think the chiefs have already replied with approval on that, but... if the date is decided, I'll take it."

"When it comes to daytime, I want you to prioritize your convenience. What about after 5 days, within 10 days?"

"Okay, I'll tell the chiefs that."

Ziza Lou nodded one by one and tried to pull behind Reina Lou's seat.

Martin shouted, "Ah," and stopped.

"And one more thing. This is a request to Asta, but eventually it will require the forgiveness of the chiefs, so I would also like to convey it to you."

"Hmm. What kind of story?"

"It is about the work of informing Genos about the handling of new ingredients.Asta should already be the best at handling ingredients delivered from the king's city in the south, so I want the people of Genos to do the same. ”

"Hmm. I was told that the inn will be open soon in the post town, so I thought it would be handy there."

"I want Asta to take care of the chefs in the castle town.Then it would be less effort to go together on the same day.So, I held a review meeting at the Castle Town VIP Hall, where I decided to gather people from the station town and the castle town. "

Ziza-Lou stared back at Malstein's smile with her thin thread-like eyes.

"Is that also a story of trying to do it within the next 10 days?"

"Hmm. I've decided on the price of the ingredients for the King's Capital in the south, so I hope that the review party will be held as soon as possible."

Malstein remained relaxed and smiled, but his eyes felt like there was a light to calm Ziza Lou.

I had been asked to keep the kamado at the forest feast, and I would probably attend the confectionery tasting as a judge.If we add a culinary tasting party and a sampling party to that, we would be able to participate in four events in just 10 days.

I looked at Ai-Fa with a bitter smile.

Ey-Fa glanced at his blue eyes with a light of rage.As soon as I saw it, I looked at Jiza-Lou.

(If they're good for Genos, I'll do my best.)

Jiza-Lou can't read the movement of his eyes, so he doesn't even know if he got my watch.

However, Ziza Lou nodded in a timely manner and returned a word to Malstein.

"It is the chiefs who decide everything.I promise to send an envoy to Zaza and Souti so they can reply by tomorrow. ”

Hmm. I'm waiting for a good response.

With the same smile, Mulstein greeted me subtly.You realized I sent Jiza-Lou a message.

His Highness Dakarmas stepped forward when he saw that the conversation was over.

"Now I'd like to talk about today's tasting!Today was a very satisfying day! "

His Highness Dakarmas is innocent.

Well, I'm sure you believe that no matter how hard we struggle, we will achieve results commensurate with them.Regarding the festivities around the forest, you may just be following your own desires - but if you just want delicious food, you don't have to take the form of a tasting party.

(Well, it's up to us whether we can achieve results worthy of our hard work.)

Feeling the noise in the hall behind my back, I thought so.

At the very least, the tastings so far have had a huge impact on the humans who come to cook.That was beyond doubt.
