The girl with the fire wheel.

Episode XIX: Fun Supper

The following evening, a dinner party welcoming the Gembu mission was held at Castle Madres. From Coimbra are the heavy-duty ministers such as Grohl of Taishou, his son Elgar, Wilm and Gaddis, and Perius. In order to entertain guests, the noble daughters also participate after being dressed. Noel, that's why Cynthia was allowed to participate. Above all, Grohl wanted to brag about Noel, so the participation was accepted in two replies. By the way, Noel had also invited Ligret, but he had been kicked "absolutely not".

Attendees from Gembu, headed by Ambassador Gembu, will be lined up by Kai, the captain of the escort, and the martial officers under him. Kai's work is not “now” yet, as all compromises with Grohl have been made by ambassadors entrusted with plenipotentiaries.

"The Gemb people. You used to come all the way to the coin bra. On behalf of the people of Coimbra, we welcome you."

Grohl begins to greet the glass with one hand. From time to time, he talks to his neighbor, Ambassador Gembu, and he's in a good mood.

That, too, should mean that this evening's dinner party is not like exploring each other's bellies, but is purely about deepening goodwill. Grohl is willing and welcoming. Guess that, or the same atmosphere you participated in is bright.

The relationship between Coimbra and Gembu is better than before the continent was united, and that remains the same. From Grohl, who wanted the help of Gemb more than anything, it's like they got a promissory note saying "I'll side with Coimbra” for visiting. It wasn't enough to entertain me as much as I wanted.

- And when it comes to Noel, who is proud of Glor.

"Hey, I thought this was too tight at the waist? I had a stomachache earlier."

Hearing Taishou's greeting gently, Noel speaks softly. I'm wearing a thin-water dress that Cynthia made out to be, but she can't help but have a bitter abdomen. Originally Noel isn't so tight because of his skinny, but I'm not used to wearing it, so I guess it feels bound. Until now, I have been wearing only pragmatic clothes, so I have no choice.

By the way, Cynthia is wearing her favorite dress in light red. I had a little more difficulty wearing it because I got some more muscle than before. The corset is more than twice as tight as Noel's. I know it's just a pleasure to scratch the belly line as much as I can, but I can't stop. If you look around, some daughters have a cramped face and a cold sweat. A noble society is glamorous at first sight, but behind it is a tedious effort.

(But women say they turn. If this fixes your tone and character, you'll be a fine lady.... Well, you can't)

Yes, if you keep your mouth shut, you'll just see me as your little girl. It looks really good on a light water coloured dress with characteristic red hair. It looks like an exquisite doll with rugged eyes and thin red on the lips, but it looks like a white skin. Not only is it beautiful, but it even creates a human secluded atmosphere somewhere. - As long as you kill the expression and keep your mouth shut.

I thought it would leave a childish appearance as usual, and I put on my hair and fixed it, but it worked too well. The clavicle's exposed chest is oddly colourful and seems separate from the usual Noel. Now, Barbus, who wanted to go through, was stretching his nose without noticing Noel because of his hair. When I explained it to him, he was surprised to open his mouth so much that his jaw came off.

Elgar, too, had rounded his eyes the moment he found out he was Noel. Until the dinner party began, with a flickering look on the side, his face turned bright red. I want to believe that I lost my mind at a young age, but there must be no mistake. In time, you'll have to stab the nail firmly.

Ligrette glanced and frowned, hitting her tongue hard and walking away somewhere.

(From the woman's point of view, I think it looks pretty good. That's for sure.... for sure)

No matter how beautiful the appearance only becomes, its nature must not be fooled by the prank daughter of the conditioner, the doll-like atmosphere.

"Okay, let's take it because it's out of the way"

"Then, fool! There's a guy out here who's gonna take it off! Just for a little while, just be patient."

"Cynthia's tighter on the cucumber than I am, how can you be okay? Could it be because your stomach is soft?

"Ugh, shut up. An extra favor!

Noel doesn't hesitate to poke me where it hurts. It's not like I'm fat. It's just that I got a little bit glorious. This prank girl “knows and” is extremely likely to be listening. My mouth is now distorted. It must be a hundred times more adorable and hateful than it is in these words. Embrace the urge to flaunt your cheeks and make a smile. We're still talking about Grohl. There must be no disrespect for important ceremonies that welcome guests.

"You know, after this long story, it's a meal, right? It's painful and demonic, so let's take the corset off now. Look, it looks okay now."

I'm going to say another hell of a thing. You said you had to take off your dress to remove your corset. I'm trying to move my hand, so I hold it down hard. Everyone's consciousness and gaze are focused on grolls, so they don't get noticed but scold them whisper.

"Stop being stupid. More importantly, Taishou is in the process of being greeted."

"Really?"

"I really do. Please, just keep me company. Look, just shut your mouth like a doll right now."

"Well, then can I have this drink? I kind of got my throat dry."

"It's too early for a toast"

"Oh, this sounds like a very good drink. It smells really good. Now, where is the grape?"

I curled it up quickly and tried to put my mouth on the glass I was holding, so I rushed to stop it.

"... really, really a little more patience. Don't do anything, just leave your mind alone."

"Yeah, okay.... but Taishou is a really long story, isn't he? Look, young man, you're lacking, too. Is that good?

Even though I don't think so, I turn my gaze to Elgar, who is holding back beside the groll. Naturally, there is no reason to be absent, and I'm nervous about the bees and I'm in my seat. The outfit is splendid, but hence the emphasis on childhood.

(On second thought, there's no reason for you to be absent)

I thought I was totally fooled. When I glanced at Noel, it was after I had already emptied the glass.

"Hehe, you're hooked. Oh, I think it's time for a toast, so I'll have to pour it again."

"... Noel, remember later"

Groaning with a bitter, chewy look, then raising his face, he had eyes with a young martial artist who was in a face-to-face line. He is the captain of Gembu's escort, Kai Hundred, who was introduced earlier. Being young but entrusted with the captain of the escort must be quite skillful. In Gembu, where the martial arts can be weighed above all else, it is unlikely that the martial arts officers will emerge on the brink first.

He looks so funny when Kai says he saw something interesting. There is no excuse for being seen so ugly with Noel from earlier. Cynthia met with convulsions and didn't decide not to look.

"Pray for further development and prosperity of both Coimbra and Gembu states, cheers!

Cheers!

When all the toasts are exchanged, the women of Coimbra approach the martial officers of Gembu and pour the liquor. Because the name is a rude culinary form, you can take as many meals as you like. Cynthia didn't have much appetite because of the bitter corset, but she also wondered if she wouldn't eat it, so she secured a small cut of vegetable and fish pie.

And then, as a welcoming actor, I'm thinking of exchanging appropriately greetings with a human being in Gemb, but I can't quite get the opportunity to visit. The Gembo martial officers are focused on eating and drinking.

A number of dishes are arranged on the table with fresh fish from the coin bra. Some spices are used to eliminate odors, but the Gembu martial arts officers bordering the sea are not particularly concerned. Flatten dishes served in large quantities in no time. I can't help but behave like they are supposed to be nasty, but I can't complain because I know their temper is both on the coin bra side. I'm drinking with a laugh that it's the usual thing.

…………

That said, Cynthia accidentally heartburns when she sees that awesome appetite.

(What the hell is going on with those people's stomachs?

And I was about to seriously think about it, and I realized that there were similar people nearby. It's about Noel, of course.

I have secured 5 bottles of Madres wine for when I brought it. I think I poured alcohol into the glass with a happy face, and I drink it up in one bite. Madres wine is not such a weak drink. By the way, common people are also fancy liquors that they will never be able to get their hands on.

"Eh, this is delicious."

With a full face, he roars - much more satisfied. To that too much sight, Cynthia accidentally pokes her big drinking head.

"... Hey, this isn't a tavern. Don't be rude for once."

"Someone said drinking expensive alcohol can lead to happiness. That's why I drink so much that I don't like it. Look, there's so much to drink."

"If you could just be happy drinking, no one would have a hard time"

"But I'm feeling better. It's a little close, I guess."

"... Come on, I don't know. I think I'm definitely not."

"But it might fit, so I'll hem it as promised. Look, get the glass out. Not empty from earlier."

"Oh, thank you"

Noel poured me some booze, so I want you to thank me. When I try to put my mouth on the red liquid, I notice a young man approaching me. He is Wilm's son, Roy Gramble, of the same rank as Cynthia.

"Lord Cynthia, it's been a long time. Promotion to the Senior Hundred, very late, but I congratulate you. My father Wilm was more than happy."

"This, Lord Royer. We thank you for your words of celebration. Please continue to provide guidance."

"Don't change that. Encourage youngsters together.... Having a great father is hard for a child. I'm really struggling, too."

Now my late father and Wilm have been friends for many years, and Royer and I have been family friends since childhood. When Cynthia's father died, he was also invited to the Gramble family mansion. Royer and I were close in age and had many opportunities to talk about our work together in swordsmanship. After the death of my father no longer has such an opportunity, it is a relationship to the extent that we greet each other. By the way, I hardly remember talking to Ligret, Royer's sister. Because she was stuck in her room, and she didn't even try to come out when she asked. I guess one of the reasons was that my friendship with Royer was sinister.

"The dress looks good on me. Lord Cynthia is truly beautiful."

"Lord Royer has been a good flatterer, too."

"Ha, don't. I'm not clever enough to say this to anyone. I really think so."

"Thank you for that."

I recieve Royer's rhetoric and have a loving laugh. I don't know how serious Royer is, but he says these things from time to time. The future of Wilm's successor, Royer, is promised, and even more popular with his noble daughters. It's not that Cynthia especially hates it either, but I can't afford to be in love with her right now. I am full of polishing my martial arts and training my soldiers. This is all the more so because the prank daughter of the headache seed was added there.

"... Lord Cynthia, by the way. Is this lady okay with the rumored Lord Noel?"

"Yeah, definitely this girl. I'm Noel Vossheit, a hundred men long.... Noel, why don't you say hello?"

"Yeah, but disrespectful, too."

"That's pre-construction. This is Royer Gramble, Senior Hundred. Son of General Wilm."

"My name is Royer. My father Wilm has been listening to you for your recent work. … and thank you for the riglet assigned to you. For once, it will be my sister."

Take Royer's word, and Noel also rises and salutes him in his true face. At first glance, there is nothing wrong with me, but when I look closely, my face is reddish. It seems slight but fluttering. If you've been drinking all that, it's no wonder you're falling for a normal human being. She is truly a tremendous daughter.

"Uh, I'm Noel Vossheit, the Hundred! I'll take care of Ligrette!

"Ha. You don't have to be. Be polite tonight, I hope you're drunk."

Royer smiled as he pulled slightly.

"Ha, thank you!

When I reply out loud, I start mouthing the glass again. In this way, the dress at the corner is also ruined.

"As rumors have it, you look like a fancy guy.... then I will greet the people of Gemb. Excuse me."

Royer couldn't wait to be accompanied by a drunk, and walked away after a meeting with Cynthia. It would also be a guy named Atmosphere of the Place who has not received any particular attention when he says this much noise has been made. The humans of Gembu are getting involved with aristocratic women and starting to talk about their own martial arts in a lively way. From time to time cheers and applause rolled up and everyone was listening with interest.

(There will be a lot of exaggeration, but the bravery of the Genbs is famous in the world. If that's going to be on our side, I'm sure it's comforting)

I do not know if there is actually a war with Bahar, but cooperation with Gemb is undoubtedly profitable. With that in mind, Cynthia tries Noel's redhead obsessed with drinking. The red hair was sarcastic and really nice to the touch.

When the feast is finally up, I hear Grohl start exaggerating that our Noel hasn't lost, either. It must be about the other day's work. There is also drunkenness, although the story is quite exaggerated. Hundreds of thieves were swept away by a spear, the enemies in front of Noel were frightened just because they drank, and the economy was too good. Nevertheless, as someone who saw the battle up close, it's also horrible that it doesn't all seem like a joke.

(Where the hell is such a force in this lean body? It's still strange to be able to gently wield that spear or hammer)

When Grohl's long brag is finally over, the welcome is starting again.

But when I looked at this one and laughed niggardly, Kai, the captain of the escort, approached the liquor bottle with one hand.

"… excuse me, may I offer a drink on behalf of Gembu to the young hero of Coimbra"

"Nothing, but, uh, who are you?

"Hey! You're being rude!

Kai gently stops yelling Cynthia and pours booze into Noel's glass. As far as I can tell, I don't seem angry.

"My name is Kai, and I'm a Gembu martial artist. As you can see, he's a young man, but he bought the arm of a sword and has been entrusted with the status of a hundred men."

"It is. Not really, is it?"

Noel responds with a blush and then hurries to fix the words.

"Anything, according to Mr. Grohl's story, Lord Noel excels in great martial arts? The human of Gembu pays homage to the strong. Go ahead and get to know him."

"I am Noel Hundred! Best regards!

Noel salutes cheerfully as he sprinkles his liquor-smelling breath with a red face. It seemed perfectly capable.

"Ha, shall we not hesitate if we are of the same rank? If you ask me, Lord Noel is the master of long spears. However, can you really swing freely with such thin arms, etc. I have some doubts about that. I don't doubt Master Grohl's words, but I was wondering if they might be a little exaggerated."

"Ka, Lord Kai"

"If that sounds disrespectful, I apologize for that. - But I don't have the respect to pay for raw hatred and confusion."

Kai with a sight to try. I guess it's because I have absolute confidence in my martial arts that I don't believe in Noel's martial arts tradition. Cynthia and I would have been in the same position if we hadn't seen it with this eye.

"Can't you believe the story of Taishou?

"Let me be frank, you're right. To be even clearer, I even remember being angry at you for making more jokes. Just tell me about it here."

KHAI whispers softly. He seems like a boneless person, but he's not good at the world. So I guess I couldn't flush it lightly and came to try Noel.

"Um, but I don't know what to do. There's no reason to let them compete here. Oh, then can you give me your arm?

"... I don't mind that, but what the hell are you going to do"

"Fine, fine."

"If that's it, you can do whatever you want."

Kai offers a trained right arm. The moment Noel, who remained seated, grabbed that arm with his left hand...

- Nah.

Kai's face distorts in agony. I don't give a voice, but he seems to be under considerable intense pain. Uncomfortable face on the shore until just now has faded and sweat is seeping out.

Noel's face on the other side remains as blurred as ever. But my eyes are turning to that in battle.

"Hey, what matters is if you have the power to kill your enemies. I don't know if you care how thin your arms are or how I look."

"Gu, gu, gu!

"Look, you can't care about all that on the battlefield. Just two things: living or dying. Don't you agree, Kai Hundred Chiefs?

"Ha, let go!

Noel let go all the way as Kai waved his other arm and tried to escape the restraint.

"Yes, because if I make any more noise, Cynthia will piss me off again"

"- What a force. It was where his arm was crushed."

"Uh, you call this a hundred manpower. I'm a hundred people long, so it's natural for that to happen, right? Plus, it's really 100 manpower!

"Hmm, I don't know what you're talking about, but I don't know what you're talking about. but what Master Grohl said earlier is apparently true. I sincerely apologize for that disrespectful remark. Please forgive me."

When Kai lowered his head, he said, "Fine, fine. Let's drink more than that," Noel laughs and puts his mouth on the glass. Fortunately, the surroundings didn't seem to notice, which hasn't made any particular noise. Cynthia strokes her chest down with relief and carves it into her heart that she needs to preach clearly later. More importantly, he said not to work disrespectfully on envoys from other countries.

"Hey, Kai is still young, but that's a very tough way to talk. Don't you get tired of that all the time?

"Okay, let me tell you something, but that was a little too soft. For once, that's the messenger of Gembu."

He said no hesitation because he's in the same class.

"That's called a social dictionary. Don't take anything exactly as you say, because it's been slammed into the staff hall every day."

That's what makes me look great, Ky. Noel nods yeah too.

"Oh, I get pissed off every day, too. When I fell asleep during my lecture, Cynthia was nagging me."

"Shut up is rude! Lord Kai, I will scold this fool later, so please forgive me for this."

"Ha, don't worry. Besides, was Lord Noel in the midst of an education? As a matter of fact, I can't help but think of my servant, Mr. Haxeki. Don't struggle with youngsters."

Kai laughed lavishly, putting his mouth on the liquor bottle and drank it all at once. Later, this is touching a wound that ran on my cheek saying I was rude.

"Lord Kai is, somehow, a very luxurious man."

"No, it's often said. It means it's simple if you return the back. To be honest, I don't like messengers. Your shoulders are really tight."

"Kai is really funny. Your face is so scary. Like a bear."

"Noelle!"

Scold Noel, but Kai just laughs happily.

"Ha ha, it's superfluous to be scared, but a bear is a compliment. Besides, Lord Noel is interesting enough. Begin a strange and strange human being like that.... yes, this is on some edge too. Gemb and Coimbra, another toast to the sign of friendship and our friendship!

Kai pours a new drink into the glass, and Noel responds to it. While wondering what was wrong with Cynthia, she decided to put up a glass for once.

"Sure, fine. So..."

Noel and Kai are sending their sights here.

"Wow, am I going to give you a signal?

"Come on, come on"

"… So, then. Ah, Gohon, cheers!

When Cynthia is followed by two people stating 'cheers', she drinks up in an upbeat mood. After that, as if nothing had happened, both names would continue to cook and drink.

"It's delicious"

"Mm-hmm. It's all I can't eat in Gemb"

"haha, hold all the food, like a real bear"

Noel laughs with his fingers pointed. Kai asks them to put up boned meat in both hands to meet it.

…………

(... I don't know, I just feel tired. In the meantime, let's just say it's good to be safe. Yeah)

When Cynthia arrived at her sigh alone, she kept a slice of meat left on Noel's plate.
