Isekai Ryouridou
The feast of the unveiling (1) ~ harmony of colors ~
Tikatras, as he had declared during the study session, boarded the forestside village the next day.
However, I did not intercept it myself. When we started doing business at the stall, Tikatras came up and told us that he was sleepy and rubbed his eyelids.
"From now on, I will interrupt you to the chief." You should expect a good response. "
At that point, it was too late for Jomtien. However, if it was still Tikatras, it would have been a category of early risers. Tikatras took Degion and Vichezzo, who were holding Totos' reins, and disappeared south of the street, yawning.
And Tikatras came back at the end of the Midheaven Peak. At that time, it was as cheerful as usual.
"The official reply was after tomorrow, but you said you would consider it positively! Of course, Asta will also be invited, so please take care of it!"
Totos said he deposited it at Totos' place in the bivouac town, and Tikatras and the others had lunch at our stall again.
Later, Zashma, who had left time, sneaked in and told me - Tikatras got permission from Malstein yesterday to hold a feast. The place is the familiar Red Torii Palace, where the chef from the castle town is left to cook and invites people from different perspectives from all over Genos.
"Well, if you make it too big, it'll take a lot of time to prepare!" I think we should have about 200 people here! "
Tikatras said so, but a feast of 200 people in Genos is big enough. It meant that a great feast would be held since Genos was hit by Hida's commotion.
The next day, a meeting of the three chiefs was held, and the people around the forest also responded to the invitation, but it was Ai = Fa who sighed heavily there.
Tikatras once again set the theme of the feast as "portrait reveal".
"This time, you will be exposed in front of 200 humans." What if he has a deep grudge against me for refusing to be his wife? "
"No, no, Tikatras has a confusing side, but he doesn't imitate it. I think you just want to be proud of your portrait."
But no matter what, the fact that Ei = Fa didn't feel good about it didn't change. As for me, I was sincere and just consoling the important Ei = Fa.
And there was another person besides Ei = Fa who was sighing.
Whoever it is, it is Yamil-Ray.
The list of invitees presented by Tikatras contained the names Yamil-Ray and Lau-Ray.
"If I hadn't met that nobleman at the stall that day, I wouldn't have met him like this." This time, I just want to curse the god or the person who pushed this fate. "
Yamil-Ray said it like that.
She has always avoided becoming a feast attendant. Lau-Ray, who had been sent to the castle town several times as an escort, had also given up his role to others, saying that if Yamil-Ray did not attend the castle, it would not be worth attending the castle.
Therefore, if the opinions of Lau-Ray and Yamil-Ray were in agreement this time, they might have asked the chiefs to decline.
However, Rau-Ray, who had met Tikatras on the same day as Yamil-Ray, had completely mixed up in the cafeteria.
"When Yamil told me that I was going to be his mate, he apologized honestly!" He seems to have the honest temper of the people of the South, so if you talk to him properly, you should be able to strengthen the bond! "
That's what Lau-Ray said.
As a result, Ray and I decided to attend the castle feast for the first time.
If Tikatras replied yes to the invitation, the next one was the tailor of the banquet costume. For those of you who don't have a castle costume like Ray's, Tikatras will give you a gift of his own.
For the reason of waiting for your completion, the feast day was decided on the 20th day of the month of ashes. Eight days later, counting from the study group in the castle town.
I thought it was a very relaxed schedule for a rushed Tikatras, but it seemed to be due to the ingredients. Dalai Lama's ingredients were still in short supply, so it seemed that it was necessary to spend a lot of them at the feast. It was a good judgment like that of Malstein not to forcefully buy up ingredients, ignoring the convenience of the common people.
During that time, Tikatras and his crew enjoyed staying in Genos, both in the stronghold town and in the castle town. After leaving Genos Castle, I spent the first few days in the station town, but on the day I visited our study group, I started taking lodgings in the castle town as well.
In fact, it would be more beneficial to deal with pedestrians staying in the castle town to buy fancy goods from pedestrians and develop trade with the capital. As Tikatras expanded his range of activities, he finally realized that the Ironmonger Dial would also be given face-to-face opportunities.
"That's a pretty thick customer!" I'm going to put my hips in it a little bit and let you discuss business! "
Dial, who had a face on the stall, said it like that with her emerald green eyes shining brightly. Dial had a good start selling octopus at the beginning of his return to Genos, but he was swallowed up by a wave of swirling castle towns.
So while Tikatras was out in the castle town, we were able to have a peaceful time - but in the meantime, we decided to resume with two opponents.
It was led by Rico's puppet team and Kukuruel's trade group, the Black Windbreaker.
Rico and the others came back to Genos for the first time in about 20 days, travelling around the territory of the north to unveil a new performance. After completing his business in the Western King's City, [Black Wind Cutting Feather] returned for the first time in three months. It was both on schedule, so nothing was surprising - just one thing that turned out to be surprising. Both Rico and Kukuruel knew Tikatras well.
“We used to deliver our Sims to Tikatras in Derm every time. I was surprised to hear that he was headed to Genos during this meeting.”
That's what Kukuel was talking about. Tikatras and the others left the capital about half a month before the [Black Wind Cutting Feather], so they were able to face each other before that.
Well, [Black Windcutter] is one of the most prestigious trade missions in Sims, so even if you get acquainted with Tikatras, it's not that surprising.
After all, it was Rico and the others who were amazing.
What surprised me more than us, moreover, was Rico and the rest of us.
"Huh! So was that Tikatras really a nobleman?" I thought it was a joke because we came across a frontier territory where there were only two guards with us! ”
While saying that, Rico was completely bubbling.
"That's why I've been dealing with you in a very cheerful manner... is there any risk that I will be charged with any kind of crime?"
"No, that guy doesn't seem to care about politeness at all, so I think it's okay." I think you'd rather watch Rico's puppet show. "
“How about that? Back then, we were just beginning to train for the play, so I don't think we were expecting anything.”
And it came to pass, saying, No, it was Levi, who worked in the stall that was beside him.
"When that nobleman was making a scene at our inn, there was a lot of talk about you." If there's such a good puppeteer, I'm looking forward to returning to Genos. Without realizing that you guys are familiar with each other, it seems like you've raised expectations. "
"Ahh... I told the people of the post town that I was going to return to Genos in less than a month... of course, I have a desire to show them my skills..."
"You don't have to worry so much." If Tikatras finds out that Rico's plays have improved this much, he'll love it. That person seems to love that kind of art so much. "
When I encouraged her like that, Rico got into the castle. They are expected to be puppeteers and have been given a limited daytime pass.
At dusk that day, Rico visited Fa's house while burning his cheeks.
“If we were to perform in the castle square, we would be reunited with Tikatras! He loved our play and wanted us to show it at his next feast!”
"Yeah. I knew it would be. I was also invited to the feast, so I'd appreciate it on that day."
As a result, it was decided that a new name would be added to the invitation list for the feast.
◇
And the day that was bustling was passed, and the twentieth day of the month of ashes, the day of the feast.
Since it is the cooks of the castle town who prepare the banquet dishes for today, we usually do the stall business as usual, and when we returned to the village near the forest, we decided to aim for the castle town again.
Twenty-four people were invited from the forestside.
The breakdown was as follows: me, Ai Fa, Lau Ray and Yamil Ray, two from each of the elders -- and the seven people selected for His Highness the Dakarmas' tasting party and the equal number of men who would be paired with them.
The gentlemen of the elders had the same face as at the last dinner party, Ziza = Lou, Georga = Zaza, Dalí = Souti. Lara-Lou, Sufila-Zaza, and the youngest sister of the Souti family are the supporters.
In addition, Reina = Lou's pair were Shin = Lou, Rimi = Lou was Rud = Lou, Maim = Zida, Tur = Din = Zei = Din, Yun = Sudra = Chim = Sudra, Malfira = Naham = Mora = Naham, and Rey = Matua = Gaz's eldest brother.
In addition, 16 people were invited from the station town this time.
Needless to say, you are also the people of the inn who were elected to the tasting.
From the "Kimusu Tail Pavilion", "Southern Great Tree Pavilion", "Xuan Wong Pavilion", "Xi Feng Pavilion", "Tanto's Pavilion", "Lamuria's Pavilion", "Arrow's Pavilion" and "Randall's Pavilion".
It seemed like you were about the same face as the feast of praise---just one thing to note: [Xi Feng Pavilion]. Since Luia, a former partner, had become a working partner in the castle town, Yumi said that she wanted to make Joe Run a partner, and she was able to get approval from each of the parties involved.
"He's like my fiancée, so he's related to [Xifeng Pavilion], right?" He said he knew that strange nobleman, so I just thought it would be the most convenient. "
Yumi's face turned bright red when she was explaining things like that.
In any case, Joe Lan was allowed to attend the feast as a related person of [Xifeng Pavilion] rather than the people near the forest.
Having descended into the station town with four wagons, we rendezvous with the familiar faces and aim for the castle town together. Of course, Levi and Terrier-Mass were young couples in the [Kimusu's Tail Pavilion], and Naudis was not a cooking assistant this time around, but had a companion of his own.
"This time, it's not even a feast that goes back to the tasting." In that case, it would be appropriate to bring a companion. "
Nawdis said it like that, smiling cheerfully. Even the companions of the western people, like the people of the south, who look small and cuddly, smile happily. After all, I must have felt sorry for Nawdis that he was the only one invited to the castle town.
(But bringing a mate here means that Nawdis isn't alert to Tikatras either.)
While staying in the Southern Daiki Pavilion, Tikatras seemed to be making quite a fuss about drinking and cooking to the guests who were in the dining room, but it was likely that Nawdis was not alarmed. Tikatras' reputation in the post town was by no means bad.
When we arrived at the castle gate, we were transported to the Red Bird Palace by the Totos car that was being prepared there. The procedure here is similar to the glorification feast. It seemed possible that Tikatras would have been able to invite the people of the bunker town cheerfully because those procedures had been established during His Highness' time in Dakarmas.
After being transported to the Red Torii Palace, only the faces of the forest side are invited to the bathing hall. Each side of the station town cleans itself by its own means, and comes over after wearing banquet costumes. The people near the forest deposited their banquet costumes in the castle town, and some houses could only cleanse themselves until Giba woke up, so they had to take care of the bathhouse.
"Really, this is a praise feast, and it's just a fuss." Well, today's feast is not Asta, but it seems that Ai = Fa is the main character. "
Already in the steamy bathing hall, Rudo-Ru said so. It would be fortunate that Ei = Fa had no ears.
"Even if it's the lead role, the portrait will only be revealed." I guess the main thing is that the castle's cooks cook for us. "
"Hmm. Well, it's a good thing Giba can eat in the castle town." If that's not the case, there will be a lot of people who will want to complain. "
All the men who cleaned themselves, led by Rudo-Ruu, looked relaxed. With the exception of Lau-Ray, everyone was invited to the feast of praise, so there would be no complacency. Lau = Lay, who would be the first attendee, also had a very pleasant appearance.
And after he had cleansed himself, he divided himself into two parts, and changed his chambers.
You were preparing a Selva-style banquet costume that was worn at a glorious feast - with the exception of me and Dali-Sauthi. It was not a Selva-style banquet costume that wore a gown-like top on a fluffy long coat, but rather a banquet costume called balloon pants on a sleeveless jacket that was presented at the first ball.
"Huh? I told you that this banquet costume should no longer have the right measurements..."
When I put it that way, the person who thought I was related to the tailor said "no" to me.
"It was said that Asta-sama was taller, so it was up to you to tailor the previous costume." If there are any deficiencies, please go through the sleeves first so that we can rework them. ”
Dali-Sauthi, who was listening to the exchange, shouted, "Hmm."
"I got the same banquet costume as everyone at the glorious feast, but I'm going back to this banquet costume again." Is this still in line with the castle town custom of not wearing the same banquet costume as much as possible? "
“No, I heard that these are the costumes for the ladies who will be accompanying you.”
My partner is Eifa, and Dalí = Souti is the youngest sister of the Souti family. Speaking of which, because she did not have any banquet costumes, she was presented with new costumes along with Lau-Ray and Yamil-Ray.
"Well, if that's the intention of Tikatras, then it's absolutely fine." This banquet costume also has Rittier's generosity in it. "
Littia is the mother of Portia and the one who prepared this banquet costume. The coat was embroidered with a sigil indicating "Forest", and both Dalí-Sauthi and I were grateful.
"At some previous feast, only Dalí-Sauthi wore this banquet costume." If you're with Dalí = Souti, I'm glad too. ”
"It was indeed a dinner party when Robros and the others were welcomed to Genos for the first time." Since it was just before the rainy season, has it been more than half a year? "
In the space of about six months, the people of the north of Chiffon-Cher will be transferring their gods to the Southern Gods - and His Highness Dakarmas will be returning to Genos. Moreover, even after His Highness Dakarmas returned home, more than two months had passed, so I was only made to feel the speed of the flow of time.
If the recall is completed, it will be guided to the reservoir.
The six people who changed clothes in the separate room were already relaxing on the spot, and I was beset by unexpected surprises.
Wow, Lau-Ray has prepared quite a fine banquet costume for you.
"Hmm! Asta and Dalí-Saudi were dressed differently!" I'm glad I wasn't treated so special! "
Rau-Ray was wearing a banquet costume that had never been given to the people around the forest before. Perhaps it is a banquet costume that leads to a Jaguar-style semi-dress, such as a slender leggings on a jersey with an open collar. The large collar, which extends to the chest, is even more luxurious than the semi-finals, and the topaz-like yellow jewel shines on the clasp of the jersey. The three-quarter length sleeves and hem were also finely embroidered with gold threads, which seemed extremely dull while exuding the smartness and bravery of a military uniform.
In addition, Raúl-Rey's hair is well arranged, just like Dalm-Lou's. Golden brown hair similar to Ai = Fa is beautifully torn and loosely bound behind her neck. Lau-Ray's neutral and delicate appearance, coupled with his powerful hunter-like expression, made him a noble prince who specializes in martial arts.
"Lau = Ray is a good man if you don't even open your mouth." Like the old Sin = Luu, you're suspected of being the daughter of an aristocrat, aren't you? "
"Wahaha! No matter who thinks of me, my partner has already been decided!"
That's right. If you make a fuss like that, the noble girl won't come anywhere near you.
Rudo-Ru used to say that with other people's faces, but he probably didn't lose as much as the charm. Rudo-Ru, who was 17 years old, had a similar pace and length as me, but his innocence as a boy and his bravery as a hunter struck a good balance, and his facial appearance was sufficiently straightforward. Nowadays, it was a fluffy Selva banquet costume, but it looked just as good if it was the same type of outfit as Lau-Ray.
(Well, as Tikatras said, there are a lot of people in the forest who look attractive to men.)
Sin-Lou, with his long slit eyes and tall nose bridge, was an artificial figure that led to the people of the east. I once recognized these three people, who combined Rud-Lou and Raoul-Rey, as the beauty trio of the blood family of Lu.
Dalí = Souti is full of masculine charm despite his martial bone appearance, and Georg = Zaza is a handsome young man who is full of bravery. Zei = Din is a sinister figure with a moustache that suits him well, Chim = Sudra is a plain and sincere face, Zeda is a pretty face except for the sharpness of her eyes, Gaz's elder brother is also a tall and sophisticated young man, and Mora = Naham's square face reminiscent of Moai's fluffy banquet costume triggered, a style reminiscent of the warrior of mythical times or something.
Besides, every hunter on the edge of the forest had his own unique sign, even though it was a feast of praise.
Let's just say the sharpness and quietness that only humans in harsh life can have. Because it was the standard in the forestside village, I was almost unconscious to live in the same place, but such a unique sign could not be felt more prominently when wearing different costumes in the outside world.
(In that sense, I guess I'm the most boring person.)
I thought so, but I was never inspired by inferiority.
Apart from Zida and Barsha, who were originally hunters, Mikel, Maim and Shmiral-Lilin also moved from the outside world to the forest, and Yumi may join them in the future. And I had a different charm to those people than the people around the raw forest.
(We have to do our best to be a good forest folk. I don't have feelings of inferiority)
When I thought that, the door between the rooms was knocked on.
Twelve ladies enter the room, guided by the maids. So my eyes were drawn very quickly to the figure of Ei = Fa.
"Hey... you weren't in that red banquet costume today, were you?"
Hmmm. Tikatras went out of his way to get a new costume for the banquet.
Ai = Fa said this as she began to feel unhappy only with her eyes in a sharp face.
The style of costume is almost identical to that of the crimson banquet costume. A jaguar-style banquet costume with a large open collar, a fitted upper body, and a fluffy skirt.
However, this time the banquet costume was blue. The brightness of that crimson banquet costume was unbeatable, and it was shining blue.
Truly, it is as if a sapphire were woven with a molten thread. Neither the refinement of the frill nor the luxury of the silver thread embroidery beat the crimson banquet outfit. Also, Ei = Fa's eyes and necklace gems were equally blue and shining beautifully ─ ─ which made me even more proud.
Their blue, brown skin, and golden brown hair create an extraordinary contrast. Ai = Fa that can be worn brilliantly in any banquet costume, but this time the harmony of the colors was outstanding. It was a feeling from the bottom of my heart that this was a banquet costume made precisely for Ai-Fa.
"Oh, that's Yamil's banquet costume!" The beauty of the banquet costume by the forest is unmistakable! "
And the cheerful voice of Lau-Ray made me return to myself.
When I unconsciously looked back at you, I was stuck in breath again. Yamil-Ray also wore banquet costumes of unbeatable luxury to Ai-Fa.
Although the frill and embroidery designs are different, they are still jaguar-style banquet costumes. The shade was unlimitedly dark green, close to black.
Yamil-Ray has black brown hair and bluish black eyes, so it has a dark color overall. However, the embroidery and frill edges were made of gold thread, so they were not plain at all. Ai-Fa was as glorious as the sun, but Yamil-Ray was as beautiful as the moon that illuminated the forest at night.
Moreover, Yamil-Ray does not tie her hair together like a common forest lady, but braids it as fine as dread hair. The long hair was tied up on the side of the head while braided. That's how the lines from the neck to the shoulders that are usually hidden are revealed, and they're even more beautiful than the demonic ones.
”... it looks like you liked Yamil-Ray's banquet costume a lot”
Then, Ai = Fa's whisper came into her ear.
I looked back in a hurry, and Ai = Fa's eyes were feeling different from before. I decided to whisper my whisper back, whispering my head.
"It's true that Yamil-Lay's banquet costume is fine, but Ai-Fa is even better than that." If you don't want to kick my leg, I'll give you a detailed explanation. "
"Upside down," I whispered, and Ai = Fa rubbed her elbow against my flank. In this banquet costume, it would be difficult to kick a foot.
I see. You were prepared with such banquet costumes.
And now the voice of Dalí = Souti echoes.
The youngest sister of the Souti family also wore a Jaguar-style banquet costume. Her banquet costume was bright yellow, and her chest was adorned with fluffy, folding ribbons.
She doesn't look as distinguished as Eifa or Yamil-Lay. However, it was cute enough to make my chest warm just by looking at it, and --- the yellow colour that made me feel a little bit stubborn seemed to suit me again.
(These three are the banquet costumes that Tikatras ordered from the tailor. Could it be that Tikatras himself designated only the color of the fabric?)
I felt that way for no reason. I thought that Tikatras was a master of painting, so he also excels in color sensations.
All but three of them wore Selva-style banquet costumes. It was a feast costume prepared for the tournament and the feast of praise. Because you have an exceptional charm, you will be flooded with gloss and roughness like the blooming garden of the Great Ring.
Tikatras will not be disappointed that he loves beautiful things so much.
Together, we were set to be the venue for the feast.
