Isekai Ryouridou

After about a quarter of a minute, the customers of the Azure Cafeteria finally finished eating all the food.

If you wash your spare dishes, load them into the wagon, and store Totos and the wagon in the inn, it's finally the free time you've been waiting for. At this stage, I would have already passed my usual bedtime, but the exhilaration of the festival was driving me drowsy.

Well then, first of all, can you join us in our appetite?

"Asta and the others haven't had a dinner yet?" It's such a terrible hardship to be able to keep yourself hungry while selling such fine food. "

Dia said that in a daze, but for me and Yun-Sudra, it was a great pleasure to taste the food of the inn's stall village. Ii-Fa, who couldn't taste my food for two days in a row, was a little frustrated, but it had to be recovered at tomorrow's dinner.

Therefore, from the [Kimusu's Tail Pavilion] where the wagon was kept, we danced back to the open-air area. With me and Yun-Sudra and Chill-Rim in the middle, Lyerfam-Sudra was leading the way, and Ai-Fa and Dia were the team that would consolidate the left and right. With this crowd, it will be difficult to walk the Sachs, and she will stay in the warehouse with Giluru and the others.

Correspondence is as perplexing as ever, but the feast is more like a feast. Even if it is said to be noisy throughout the night, it should not be enough to wait for the sunrise like the "Day of Fall" on Easter Festival, but there was still no sign of the end of the festival.

As expected, the number of young children had fallen considerably, but the figure of the drunkard was noticeable. In addition, half of the people are dressed up as babblers, so Ei = Fa seems to be more attentive than usual. However, I was relieved to see the appearance of my compatriots from the forestside everywhere.

Speaking of which, I wonder if Chill's hometown was holding a Soul Suppressing Festival?

When I asked like that, Chill-Rim looked for the word "uh".

"There was a custom of opening a soul-restraint ceremony during this time... but it wasn't a festival." It was the custom to decorate the front of the house with white flowers, blacken the eyes with charcoal, and talk all night about the family that had returned their soul. ”

"I see, but you were more correctly preached to the Seven Sacred Festivals than Genos."

“Yes, according to Pinot, the old customs are more entrenched in the open lands.”

Chill-Rim's voice, which spoke like that, was bursting with squeaky sounds. Her homeland, a land of free reclamation, was destroyed by the Order of the Evil Gods.

"In Dia's hometown, there was a soul-restraining ritual." I didn't know that it was black cloth and white flowers, but that day I was screaming all night long at the dead. "

When Diae said that, I said, "What?" I tilted my head. "

"But this is a celebration of the Seven Small Gods." They're supposed to be gods that aren't worshipped in the sanctuary, right? "

Hmm. But in the sanctuary--

Dia gulped her mouth and shrugged her shoulders wrapped in a cape.

“I knew I shouldn't have told the outside world about the sanctuary.”

"Oh, yeah. That's right. When Dia got upset, I started talking too."

Originally, the Daijin Amsuhorn had fourteen small deities, half of which were said to have fallen asleep with the Daijin. Therefore, the seven small gods who fell asleep were the gods to be worshipped by the people of the sanctuary, but only the chiefs of the sanctuary and people as knowledgeable as Vermes could understand such a story.

"Dia also tasted the Seven Divine Festivals everywhere, but this is the first time the Soul Suppressing Festival has ever been held." I've been talking to the Pinos, but it seems to be a crazy festival. ”

"Yes. We have to determine if this suits the style of the people around the forest."

"To enjoy the festivities, there's no wind or fury." But I guess it's just a rhetoric of the people around the forest. "

Dia laughed happily under the collar.

Even though Dia and Chill-Rim are hiding their bare faces, listening to that voice makes me feel satisfied. Ai = Fa must have felt the same way as she was going down the street with a sharp face.

After a while, I finally arrived at the inn's stall village.

More than two minutes after the start of the festival, 80% of the stalls still seem to be open. Since we also jointly opened the Blue Sky Cafeteria, it seemed to be a big boost.

"Nah, that's a lot of manpower." Let's start with Naudi's dish. "

We decided to go around the stalls of the inn where we were staying, because we weren't in a state where we could go around the stalls very relaxedly. In those stalls, there was almost no fear of being betrayed.

In terms of efficiency, we should split up and procure food, but that's because Eifa won't forgive us, so we have six people lining up in the same stall. The [Southern Great Tree Pavilion] stall, which was awarded a medal at the tasting, was still in full swing today.

"Good job, Nawdis." I came to have this dish again today. ”

“Oh, hello. I'm honored to host Asta for two days in a row.”

Nawdis, with a fancy beard, greets you with a gentle smile. Nawdis also wore a black cloth from his head, encouraging the business of the stalls.

"Today, it's his dish." How many servings would you like? "

"Dia and Chill-Rim have had enough, right?" Well then, I'd like four servings, please. "

When I answered that, Dia stretched out her back and peered into the iron pot in the stall.

"When I sniffed the delicious smell, I got hungry again. I'll buy Dia too."

"Well then, five servings." I'll pay you all at once, so you can settle it later. ”

"Five servings, right? Please wait a moment."

Nawdis moved his fingertips dexterously to create a refreshing dish. It's a simple bun made by wrapping the ingredients in Fuwano dough.

“What do you think of Nawdis's soul-soothing festival?”

"I see. I've been working all day since yesterday, but I've been able to talk to my family in the kitchen." I think this is a really fascinating celebration. "

Nawdis is a merchant who is not close to appearance, but he seems to have found the significance of the Soul Suppression Festival in terms other than improving his income. I thanked him and received a bun with a nice scent of curry.

It was a hassle to get to the cafeteria all the time, so we decided to avoid the crowds and go stand-up eating.

Dia, biting her bun with her collar staggered, raised her voice in admiration.

"This is delicious." It doesn't look like the cuisine of the forest people. "

“Yes, because Nawdis won the third place among all the cooks in Genos.”

"Hmph. When I said that, Asta and the others would have been the first place, right?" Dia and the others were supposed to hear Asta's name before they even arrived in Genos. ”

While saying so, Dia offered the bun with a bite to Chill-Rim.

"If you're not hungry, try tasting Chill too." It's so spicy, it's so delicious. "

"Thank you," said Chill-Rim, staggering his collarbone.

"Wow, it's really delicious. It's not just spicy, it's packed with different flavors.”

"Hmm. The Asta's dishes were the same."... it was already a tough time when I was cooking for Asta and the others. Chill spilled tears and ate twice as much food as Pinot. ”

"Ah, that's the first time I've ever had the pleasure of cooking Asta's dishes, and I've been disturbed." It's embarrassing, so don't talk like that in front of Asta. ”

Chill-rim was still staggered in his collar, and his small face was blushing with embarrassment.

And when he noticed our gaze, Dia said, "Hmm?" and tilted his head.

"What are you doing with such interesting eyes?" Are you enjoying Chill's shy appearance? "

"No. Not just Chill, but you too." Even though they don't resemble each other, they're like sisters. "

Lyerpham-Sudra said so, laughing in her eyes.

"Besides, you've been doing your best for Chill... but in the past half a year or so, you've been able to bond properly." I'm glad to hear that, too. "

"Hmm. Don't be paternalistic." Even if you look like the people of the sanctuary, your eyes will calm you down. "

With a cute frown on her face, Dia responded like that. Chill-Rim smiles with joy and embarrassment.

"More than that, is the Soul Suppression Festival a place to talk about the dead?" Let Dia and the others talk about it as they please. ”

"Hmm. By the way, are you allowed to behave like that when you abandon your home?"

"Hmm. Dia is cut off from all her compatriots." I guess it's about the relatives I've gotten since I've been out there... but for now, I've never been separated from someone close to me. "

So, where's Chill?

"Yes. I have forsaken my past status and vowed to make only the sailors of [Gamley's Seat] my compatriots... so I have no words to tell you this night."

Having said that, Chill-Rim gave a clear smile.

“However, Pino told me that even if I were to abandon my identity, I wouldn't have to abandon my feelings for my family. So, without telling me anything, I just want to feel it in my heart.”

"Well, I'm afraid your new compatriots have the right idea."

After saying that in a solemn tone, Lyerfam-Sudra looked around us.

"In that case, we are the only ones left... but in such a noisy place, I can hardly feel the desire to kill the dead." What about Ai = Fa? "

"It feels exactly the same." Shouldn't such a story be told at home with family? ”

"I see. How do the people of the town come to the soul-restraint festival?"

When Lyerpham-Sudra raised such a doubt, she said, "Oh! A high-pitched voice echoed and Ai-Fa sighed.

"Oh my God! That's Ai-Fa there!" Such a crowd is God's guidance! Well, your radiant figure stands out in any crowd! "

It is clear who approached with the content of such words alone. We met three underworld dwellers who dressed more carefully than anyone else.

"I see, I see!" Asta's done with the stalls, too! We're here to fill up our stalls! I wonder if Yun-Sudra and Lyerfam-Sudra are also enjoying the soul-soothing festival? Besides, your two names-- "

And Tikatras, who looked towards Dia and the others, dazzled his eyes.

For me, it was a moment of nervousness.

"Oh dear? I feel like I've run into some people in the sanctuary, but... it's not like the residents of Morga Mountain have come to see the festivities."

"Dia has abandoned her hometown." Do I need to take the oath of the Western God? "

As Diaeres responded, the white Degion twitched his shoulders.

"Dia... I know that name... maybe you're the [Guardian] of the [Golden Eye]...?"

"Oh, some people call Dia like that." But it's not like Dia called herself. "

Degion measured Dia's figure with a gloomy look and then turned toward Tikatras.

"This [Golden Eye] has become the most reputable [Guardian] in recent times... I've heard that [Guardian] is probably the best [Guardian] without the permission of the Royal Capital..."

Huh! So, are you the one who abandoned the sanctuary?

As Tikatras stepped forward with a curious face, Diaeres abandoned his troublesome “yes”.

"Excellent! I heard there were humans who abandoned the sanctuary, but I've never seen the real thing before!" After all, when you abandon the sanctuary, the glow of your soul doesn't change so easily! Your rough soul is as beautiful as the people of the sanctuary you once saw! ”

Then Ay = Fa said, "Tikatras."

So you didn't know Dia's name yourself, then?

"Huh? I'm not so interested in the world of martial arts!" I'm not as eager to hear as Degion! "

Ei = Fa nodded with a strange face, “I see.”

In fact, before finishing the business, Camua-Josh, who had finished the booze with Tikatras, came back to the back of the stall and told me, "It looks like my name and Dia weren't mentioned in the report to the capital."

The report to the king's city, of course, was addressed by Vermes to the king of Selva. Any disturbance in Genos must have been reported by diplomat Vermes.

However, Vermes was compassionate about the end of Chil-Rim from the perspective of becoming a Vermes, so he probably only wrote the minimum content necessary for the disturbances surrounding Chil-Rim. It seemed to me that Eifa had asked the same question earlier in order to reconfirm it.

However, as expected, the name of Chil-Rim herself will be mentioned in the report, so Camua-Josh has advised her not to call her by name in front of Tikatras.

Tikatras then moved his gaze towards Dia towards Chill-Rim as we were quietly distracted.

So, who are you? I see that you are a liberal pioneer!

"Ah, no... I will abandon my hometown and live as a traveler."

"Hey! Traveler! What kind of tricks will you show me?"

"No... I'm still an apprentice, so I haven't learned anything yet..."

"I see, I see!" Well, I've already seen some fine tricks today! Be a good traveler, too! "

Tikatras laughed, and I breathed a sigh of relief.

"Well then! Celebrate this encounter and let me show you how to drink and cook!" Let's all enjoy the Soul Quenching Festival together! "

"No, we--"

"I'm going to order some food right now!" Wait for me in the cafeteria! Let's go, Dégion, Vichezzo! "

Without hearing the words of Ai = Fa, Tikatras charged toward the hedge. Eifa looked back at Lyerpham-Sudra, holding her temples to control her headache.

"If we disappear like this... will we lose our gratitude?"

"Hmm. You can't make a crude imitation of the nobility of the King's City." If you refuse that invitation, you should make sure that you tell them. "

Lyerfam-Sudra said that with a bitter smile.

"Besides, shouldn't he have a proper bond with him?" It seems to me that getting away from someone you don't like is a foolish act of Ai = Fa. "

"... I don't think I'm as good a person as Lyerfam-Sudra thinks I am."

Dia shrugged as Ai = Fa turned her mouth into a letter for her.

"Dia doesn't care what happens." As Kamua-Josh said, that strange nobleman doesn't seem to care about Chill. ”

Well, let's wait for the Tikatras over there.

We're going to a cafeteria full of drunks.

The people of the west who were dressed up, and the people of the south who were covered in black cloth, shook up the bottle and screamed. The people of the east were supposed to be gathered together at the Soul Suppressing Festival, but for some reason they could not be seen there.

"It's not very well manners to occupy seats by hand." Here we are waiting for the return of the Tikatras. "

My words are, "Hey, hey! I was interrupted by a high-pitched voice."

"I'm sorry to keep you waiting!" Now, let's settle down! "

"Oh, what's wrong with the food?"

"It was troublesome to stand in line all the time, so I asked the people close to me!" We should be able to deliver the fruit wine soon, so let's just relax and wait! "

Speaking like that, Tikatras turned to the sides of the cafeteria.

"Gentlemen! Fruit wine should be delivered in barrels soon!" I don't need copper coins, so you can taste them! "

Most people know about Tikatras. We were greeted in the middle of the cafeteria with great cheers.

"No, the station town is still booming today!" At this pace, I'm sure Genos will take root at Soul Festival! It was worth the rush! "

When he got to his seat, Tikatras stopped like that.

Lyellpham-Sudra speaks on behalf of Ai-Fa, the top of the Buddha.

"But Tikatras, we are still not sure what the Soul Suppression Festival will be." Can't you ask Tikatras to teach you more about the Soul Festival than anyone else? ”

"Hmm? What's the teachings? How should I behave at the Soul Suppression Festival?"

"Hmm. But we don't know how to save the dead in such a noisy place."

"You don't have to think hard about anything! You just have to tell them!"

Tikatras laughed amusedly and then softened his tone.

"For example... how old are you, Lyerpham-Sudra?" I've already lost my father, but what about you? "

"My parents have already returned their souls." Then there were my brother and sister... but my sister returned her soul at a young age from a disease, and my brother returned her soul in the middle of a hunting job. "

"Hmm. When did your parents get stolen?"

“My brother and my father are on the same day. My mother was a few years old. By the time I was 17, all my family had returned their souls."

Seventeen--that's when I and Ei = Fa met.

By that time, Lyerfam-Sudra had lost all her family.

"I have lost another person I love enough to be my companion." You're the mother of this Vichezzo. Do you have any such opponents? "

"I only loved my partner Re." Rei is still alive and strong. However, the baby born between Lee and me has returned both souls so far. "

"Alas, I have begotten more children than men, but everyone grew up healthy. I've never forgotten how happy it is. May you rest in peace for your children and your family."

Tikatras, who looked more eccentric than anyone else, put his hand around his heart while saying so.

"So what about Yun-Sudra?" Are your parents still alive? "

"No, my parents returned my soul when I was young. It seems that my brother was above me... but unfortunately, I don't remember the faces of any of my family members."

Yun-Sudra replied in a very quiet manner.

"I was originally a family named Mima, but when I was twelve years old, there were only six members of my family together, so I decided to become a family of all of them. However, since the five other people besides me returned their souls in about the next three years... now I can call only the twelve members of Sudra's family."

"I see. Having a family of twelve is a blessing, but... as long as you've lost all your former family members, it's sad."

"Yes, but I am able to have greater joy than grief. Sudra was on the brink of destruction again, but Asta and Ey = Fa made it possible to regain hope.”

Yun-Sudra looked towards me and Ai-Fa while slightly moistening her eyes.

Tikatras will be staring at us again.

"So, what about Eifa and Asta? If you don't mind, let me know."

"... I lost my mother at the age of twelve and my father at the age of fifteen."

"When I was seven years old, I lost my mother to a disease."

"I see. Vichezzo lost her mother when she was three years old, and Degion - although she has not lost her family, she has lost her ally who learned the sword together when she was sixteen years old. First of all, let's pray for the good of all the dead."

Tikatras didn't want to call out to Dia and Chill-Rim. I'm sure Diae, who abandoned the sanctuary, and the artist Chil-Rim won't be able to impose this habit on them.

"My father had a very strict temper." That reaction may have made me a floating person like this. What kind of person did Eifa or Lyerpham-Sudra's father have? ”

"... my father was a wonderful hunter." And above all, he was a kind and honest person who cared about his family. ”

"My father... was fully committed to restoring Sudra's house, which had already seen signs of destruction." That's why I made a big mistake. "

“Huh,” Tikatras set his sights on Lyerfam-Sudra.

"I wonder what kind of mistake it was?" If you don't mind, I'd like to hear it. "

"Sticky, it's not a concealment. And he put all his hope in his brother, and commanded his family, Mima, to do likewise. I cherished the eldest brother of Sudra and the eldest sister of Meema and entrusted them with the hopes of their bloodline. But... even after the wedding, they couldn't give birth to children, so they returned their souls in despair. And the return of both souls led to great despair in all bloodshed."

“That's why Patriarch Ryelpham gave a new order to treat all families equally, not just the firstborn. I hear that Sudra and Mima's family have found new hope.”

When Yun-Sudra added her words, Tikatras nodded, "I see."

So, does Lyerfam-Sudra have a grudge against her father?

"I have no grudges. Of course, at a young age, I had a feeling of envy about how I could satisfy my brother as much as I liked, but... my only desire was to protect my home with my father. The only reason I didn't destroy Sudra's house was because I was lucky enough to meet Asta and the others... I'm not worthy of my father's stupidity."

“No, because our parents gave us new hope, we lived forever until we met Asta.... but I was so relieved to hear that my parents didn't resent my father."

Yun-Sudra sends a clear smile and Lyerfam-Sudra catches it with a gentle look.

After seeing that, Tikatras looks at me and Ei = Fa.

“My beloved mother, Vichezzo, was a very sophisticated and affectionate woman. Although her parents were pirates and she was hanged at a young age... she never fell into the world of vice and became a merchant sailor. I was stolen from my heart by her strength and honesty.... what was Ai Fa and Asta's mother like?"

"... my mother had a very crushing temper." My body was weak and I was weak, but I never did anything to bend myself. Because I was a paranoid person, I had a lot of trouble with my mother, but... until the moment I returned my soul, my mother cared about the end of me and my father. "

"My mother was also a gentle and serene person." I wasn't very assertive... but I think I had the strength not to dye my hands if it didn't suit me. "

"Hmm. Did Asta learn to cook from her mother?"

"No, my father was a cook in the cafeteria." Of course, my father was better at cooking, but my mother made arrangements for meals on holidays... and I was very sad that I couldn't eat them anymore. ”

Yun-Sudra was in a hurry to shed her tears as she turned around with a strange voice.

"I'm sorry, too. I haven't had much opportunity to listen to Asta or Ei = Fa's parents so far....."

Yeah. That's why it's so weird to learn about the other person's family.

Saying that, Tikatras hugged the shoulder of Vichezzo, who was sitting next to him. Someday, she was like an angry toddler, spilling clear tears.

Suddenly there was a big cheer, so I was shocked.

From somewhere a barrel of fruit wine was carried. Bright red fruit wine was poured into the wooden plates that were brought together, and they were also turned to this table.

"Come on, it's a long-awaited fruit wine!"... by the way, my father was a man who didn't drink. How was everyone's family? "

"My mother didn't seem to drink either."

"My father liked fruit liquor, and my mother used to mouth it sometimes."

"There was no room in Sudra's house for fruit and wine. However, my brother bought fruit wine on his own with his family's wealth in order to put an end to his despair."

"Well then, my father and Asta's mother may be frustrated that you should bring them some delicious food!" Lyerfam-Sudra's family would like you to drink the fruit wine until you get bored! "

Having regained its original buzz, Tikatras said so.

"Besides, Vichezo's mother was such a terrifying wine drinker that she shrugged her shoulders to see if a barrel like this would be enough!"... how about that? Do you feel close to the family you lost? "

"No, no, no," replied Lyellpham-Sudra impatiently.

Vichezo then laughed cheerfully with a painted face.

"So, we haven't talked enough yet!" Until the faces of the deceased come to light, tell them the truth! If you decide to have fun alone this night, you will buy the wrath of the underworld gods! "
