312 311. The Bachelor Feast And The Heavy Story
The ground at the edge of the hallway is white enough to be seen for the first time.
At the annual winter festival, a snowy mountain was placed on the left and right of the entrance in the morning, but it seems to have behaved like a big deal this year.
"Oh, I made a 'snow-capped wand (staff)' in the Magic Device Production Department, because if there is an ice magic stone, it can make snow.Plus, add your magic, so much so.... "
Behind Dorino's gaze, there was a wizard with a childish smile and fluffy snow.
He is a Mage of Fire who occasionally joins the expedition of the Demon Crusaders.
"Fun!
I know it well without saying it.
An ice magic snow that contradicts my fire magic, it seems that my heart can't help but float.
And it wasn't just this wizard.
"Ufufufufufu...."
Next to the aisle, two female magicians wave their staff with a nice smile.
Indeed, they have earth magic.I remember seeing the workout ground restored flat.
Looking at the end of the aisle, the left and right were decorated in white with a large area.
How many snow-capped wands (staff) did the Wangcheng Magic Device Production Department make?And how many magicians do you use?
Tomorrow's winter festival, the royal castle may be completely white.
"Looking at it, it looks cold.Now, let's go to a second meeting before we catch a cold. "
I nodded to your voice.
Tomorrow is a winter festival, but those who are single and do not return home are not far from the castle.
Then, from early evening onwards, the New Year will be celebrated at the Monster Enemy Squad Building Royal Castle.
To have fiancées, wives, and people whose homes are far away.
"Ah, Professor Jonas!
Jonas took off his counselor's robe and put his jacket on the knight's clothes.
It's not strange to be mixed up with the Monster Enemy Troops.
"We're going to meet again, so why don't you join us?
"Thank you for inviting me.But now I'm going to escort Lord Goode... "
The rusty gaze of the answer shifted behind Dorino.
Looking back, Goethe, the lord of the story, and several wizards came to us.
"Looks like the Monster Enemy Reflection is over.Bertie, are you guys going to meet again?
Yes, that's right.
Though Volff's brother, the next Marquis leader, the Squadron Commander of the Magic Force, is in front of him.
Dorino, who was called by his last name, answered correctly.
I see. I'd like to ask you a few favors... "
Goethe walks up to herself unstoppably and smiles closer and closer.
"Could you mix Jonas up for a second meeting?Sometimes I want you to stretch your wings. "
"I was just inviting you."
"That's good.Well, please. "
Gouid's fingertips moved and something rubbed into his knight's pocket.Probably a big silver coin.
I have a payment from the squad for today, and I tried to say that, but he stopped his index finger in front of his lips for a moment.Apparently, I was told to keep it a secret.
Master Gouid, I need your escort home.
"From now on, I will be with my father who white-dyed the First Knight's Building, and then the King's Building.I also have my own staff, so don't worry.Enjoy yourself sometimes, Jonas. "
"... okay."
And Jonas nodded in vain against the commandment of the smile of the LORD.
He is dissatisfied that he is able to drink free alcohol, but he is away from his duties.
I don't think it would be a bad idea to have two high-magic wizards, the current and the next leader of the Scarfarot family, but I don't know about the nobility, so Dorino stopped thinking.
Drop off the goodies on the spot and walk toward the tavern you're used to.
Dorino traces the coins in his pocket with his fingertips.It was a little small for a big silver coin - I thought it was a bit small, so I took it out and put it gently on my palm.
In brilliant gold, the possibility of a shortage of liquor this evening has completely disappeared.
While whispering just inside your mouth, keep the gold in your inner pocket.
"Oh, I need Dr. Jonas to drink a barrel of wine..."
On the third floor of the nearby tavern, all participants sat down and grabbed a glass.
Dorino stood up with a glass after he had his eyes running around him.Today I am a purse clerk named Executive.
"Well - at the end of the cold winter year, single people, this year is also thin, welcome to the second meeting of this reflection meeting!
"It's embarrassing!
Laughter and complain occur simultaneously.
I want you not to complain because it is true.
"In the meantime, I wish you the best of luck in not going to this second meeting next year - good luck again this year, cheers!
"Next year we're not going to make it, cheers!
"Cheers, good luck next year!
Under the soft light of the magic lamp, the glass is cracked.
All you have to do is flatten the plate in front of you and drink.
Today is a free gathering with nothing hard.
"Professor Jonas, please have a cut steak!
Place the large plates you received from the clerk in front of Jonas sitting next to you.
It is a thick plate of meat, still mostly bright red, with only a small portion of one side baked.
During the previous expedition, I heard that Jonas was bad at vegetables and burnt meat because of the magic.
I apologize for not eating well to get you to participate.
Dorino asked the shop for fresh, meaty beef, which he cut easily.
There is no seasoning, and salt and pepper are placed on the table, as well as the store's specialty sauce, in a pot.
"Thank you."
Jonas thanked with a well-prepared smile.However, I felt that the canine teeth looked white more than usual.
I hope it fits my mouth - even though I think so, I look at the other table.
At other tables, cut-stakes and skewers of meat are beginning to be distributed to those who wish to do so.
Seafood and vegetable fritters, well-stocked sandwiches, bread with stew, and plenty of food to eat.
Stewed beef offal and piles of salted nuts are for drinking.
It turns out that there are many people who like sweets, so I also ask for apple pie and deep-fried fruit from the beginning.
Some older seniors have fish schools, so I also prepared overnight drying and Kraken dried food.
Dorino's parents' house is a cafeteria in Shimomachi.
I don't want to go to a dinner party or a drinking party where I can't eat more food than I became an executive. I thought so, so I consulted the store owner first, but it made me feel better than I thought.
Every time there was more food on the table, there was cheer everywhere.
Drino is finally relieved, eating sandwiches with shrimp, boiled eggs and chopped broccoli, and moisturizing his throat with red ale.
Across the street, a junior with green eyes rode on a scorched meat skewer.
"Kirk, are you glad you came to the reunion?I'm waiting for you tomorrow, so I should have seen my fiancée today. "
"No, I was advised to join her."
It seems that you have a capable fiancé.
Jonas next to him poured red red red ale into his glass.
"I'm very proud of you, my understanding fiancée."
"Thank you, Dr. Jonas!
"I envy having a fiancée.Kirk, get married now. "
"Yes, I plan to get married next summer.So she wants to join us today. "
Kirk turned his eyes at once.
Some spills, rattles, and rocking chairs, but pretending not to notice is the knight's, no, bachelor's way.
"Congratulations, Kirk!
"It was quick and surprising, but I'm glad!
Kirk, come here!Let's hear it from the beginning to the end!
Kirk moves with a smile as the older seniors call him.
It is likely to be drunk by chance, but I think it will be OK because I have prepared magic equipment and hangover medicine if I take too much.
"Is Nicola's wedding reception tomorrow?It's unusual to overlap with a winter festival. "
"The other party's territory is far away, so it was a good time to come to the temple at the Winter Festival."
During the winter festival, the aristocrats came directly to deliver donations to the temple.
To send a priest from the shrine the following year.
Because it is essential to treat illness and injury in the territory, lords and future lords often come.
Nikola, a senior knight, has been married to the daughter of a Territorial Vicomte.
It would be a reasonable choice on a winter festival day if it was a difficult distance to get around.
"Is Nicolas a 'graduate' from a loner?Speaking of which, Wolf must have sent Dr. Darya to join us today?
"I hear you two are going to the winter festival tomorrow.Aren't you ready for that?
I see. Dalya Sensei was wearing snowflake earrings..... "
At the table next door, seniors are talking about friends.
One of the seniors said that he was not sure whether to explain or not.
Well, finally, spring is coming to Wolf too...
"Nothing. Nothing."
"That's not true."
I completely rejected Senpai's words at the same time as Randolph.
Yonas on the right has not changed his expression at all, but the surface of the ale in his hand is shaking little by little.
"Looking around the stall, they say they can eat and fall.Wolf, I've been preparing my stomach medicine. "
"I filled my bag with bronze for the stall."
"Is he a junior college student....."
"No, I'm still a junior grad student...."
Senpai's voice is sighing at the earliest.
There are many things I want to agree with, but Volff feels like he's starting over his youth from elementary school - basically, he decides to watch.
Well, if it deviates too much, it may follow Randolph.
"Aren't you going to the winter festival tomorrow?
Jonas just called out during the conversation.
"We get street food and rest in the barracks.In the evening, I'll be waiting in the Monster Enemy Unit building.Is Dr. Jonas at work?
Yes, I plan to do that.
Looking at it, the meat on the plate was no longer clean.Dorino calls the clerk and asks for more.
I asked him to wait and asked what he was worried about.
"Professor Jonas, don't you prefer a little more alcohol?
Don't hesitate to be late to say yes.
He was flushing Yale into his throat like water.I didn't taste it, and I thought you probably didn't like it.
"Which is better, rum or sake (kneeling)?
"--- Please have a hot sake."
Spicy enough to spit out fire - a wine that would suit the Lord of Rusty Eyes.
When I asked the clerk for a bottle of liquor and water, I returned to the chat.
"Nicolas this year, Kirk next year.Volff and I are the most likely ones.I hope two or three of you have graduated. "
He's back. Don't say that next to me.
Senpai the Bow Knight tells me that it's a sleigh.The black ale at hand suddenly turned pale.
"Milo, is there still time for your wife to leave?Otherwise, why don't you remarry?
"No, I don't think I'm suitable for marriage.She broke my stomach every time I went on an expedition.Rather, I regret that I should have left you sooner. "
The low voice echoed mixed with the crew's story.
Dorino pretended not to hear and poured liquor into Jonas's glass.
"I'm going to this meeting until my retirement!
A bright voice suddenly echoed from the back table.
"What's wrong with being single?If there is no territory or successor, it will be fine.Feel free to live, and don't worry about your family during the expedition.When I return to King's Landing, I meet my friends and parents, but that's enough. "
"I agree.Above all, you can use your salary freely.I enjoy reading the books I bought in the barracks. "
"I understand that... but don't you miss yourself since you retired?
"Don't you give up while you're on the force and get married after retirement?
I also understand the opinions of single people.
As for the post-retirement matter, Dorino cannot judge whether it is realistic or hopeful.
"But if you want to get married, you should do it when the momentum comes.At a certain age, the marriage itself became annoying, and if you postpone it, you'll lose someone this time..... "
"I see. I'll take care of it eventually...."
A razor sounded from next door.
A man drinking super sweet fruit liquor on an apple pie dish is nodding.
"Randolph, I don't have any trouble with you.I don't even go to Flower Street.You really don't like it?
"If you don't fall in love, you won't know."
The answer came back as expected.Dorino gives up and calls the man on the other side.
"What kind of woman does Professor Jonas like?
"... I like strong women."
Take Jonas' cup of spirits and pour it into the glass.The strong aroma of alcohol spreads softly.
"What is strong like?
"I like independent women.It's the same whether I'm here or not. "
"If you're as cool as Professor Jonas, you'll soon find them."
"Unfortunately, I have no connection."
Is magic really tough?
I know it's rude, but let me ask you something straight.
Jonas looked at himself and blinked.
"I don't know... I'm used to it, so this is normal for me.However, there are some people who care. "
"There used to be a few magicians on our team.You have good night vision, increased arm strength, and strong signs perception.I've shattered the demon nucleus several times, but I've never been possessed.Is that a pretty tough condition?
"Dorino"
Randolph called me in a slightly harsh voice.
I never told you, but you probably noticed.
I thought Dorino could be enchanted if he could be stronger.
"It is said that crushing or eating the magic nucleus makes it easy to become enchanted, but it seems compatible.It is said that if it does not suit you, you will die worse, so I do not recommend it. "
Really? I thought the devil might be stronger. "
Dorino is not strong as a member of the Monster Enemy.
The weakest of the red armor (scarlet armor).
For ordinary people, there was strong water magic and physical enhancement, so I entered the knighthood department of high school, but not those who had been aiming for knighthood since childhood.
The sword's arms, of course, cannot exceed those with excellent physical abilities and strength, even after training.
Whether it's enchanted or not, I just want to be stronger than I am now.
After all, there is no such good story.
"When you get enchanted, you'll lose it to women."
"Oh, is that so?Professor Jonas seems to have it. "
I accidentally fell in love with words.
He burst into laughter, poured his new glass of liquor and gave it to himself.
Randolph next door pushed the nut plate in front of him.
Apparently, he made fun of me.
After that, we talked about the armored crabs and treasure fish, the various monsters, and the armor of our previous expeditions.
Jonas was tired of the armor of other countries, and some seniors moved away from other tables to ask questions.
The second meeting of the reflection meeting continued vigorously, asking for additional alcohol several times.
"Now, if you'll excuse me.Thank you for inviting me to a fun place. "
The end of the appointment is approaching, and the long reunion is finally over.
Jonas opened two flasks of liquor, but I can't see the drunkenness.
Since the thick meat was flat about four sheets, I think it was a substitute for dinner - I would like to ask my preferences a little more if I had the opportunity.
"Mr. Jonas, be careful.Ah, I'll invite you next year, so please join me if you're alone. "
For a moment, one eye's pupils became longitudinal.The dark, bloody color seems to be magical anyway.
But there's no intimidation, no killing.Dorino, who felt like a mere menstrual phenomenon, waited for a reply without saying anything.
"-Thank you. I look forward to it, Lord Dorino."
The disrespectful man leaves in confession.
On his back, Dorino finally realized that he had been called by name.
I wonder if Jonas would have enjoyed it a little - so when I got back to the table, Randolph poured the rest of the fruit liquor into the glass.
There are only five or six seniors and themselves around.I'm going to wake up a little drunk and go home.
"It's a winter festival tomorrow.I hope it's clear, for Wolf. "
"For Miss Darya."
Randolph drank less wine from the bottom of the glass.
"Hey Randolph, don't you think it suits your taste?
I called out as a tease, but there was no immediate answer.
Dorino stopped moving in front of the red tea that was lying down.
This may have been the wrong question.
Randolph opened his mouth when he thought about something different.
"I certainly liked it....."
"... it's in the past.Well, in its current form, it's unlimited. "
"I wish I had a chance."
"Hey, Randolph?
Unexpectedly, a friend sighed deeply in front of him.
"That pumping was exquisite....."
"That way! You're making fun of me... oh, I'm drunk."
I saw drunkenness in my thick eyes.Apparently there was a good spare of sweet fruit liquor.
The two bottles in front of me were completely empty.
"Ah, what does Randolph's favorite woman really look like?
No matter how many times I've heard it before, 'I don't know if I don't fall in love with you', I kept getting distracted.
He is the second son of the Border Guard.
It is not strange to be at home as a spare for inheritance or to be married to a reasonable partner.
That is the Red Armor (Scarlet Armor) of the Monster Enemy, who deliberately chooses lighter duties.
It's not just Volff.This man will carry something, too.
Of course, I'm not going to ask him what he won't say.
"... a firm woman is better than herself..."
"It's too expensive to ask for something stronger than you.Anything else? "
I asked him an unusual answer while pouring new wine into his glass.
"... because I'm not very good at everything, I like a smart woman who can say it straight... not in the sense of education..."
"A solid intellectual system, I see.What does it look like? "
"... if you don't fall in love, you won't know"
"In the end, that's it!
He turned back laughing and turned his gaze towards Randolph.
His red tea eyes were staring far beyond the tavern wall.
"But... my red hair is beautiful..."
Dorino couldn't return his voice when he was whispered down on the table.
Randolph also couldn't lift his face and couldn't move.
You must have drunk too much.
When she was silently squeezing the nuts on the knob, the big hand on the table was firmly gripped to grab something.
"... 'When time passes, I forget'"
A crush that looks like Randolph and falls in the language of a neighbor.
It's also in the famous opera passage that Dorino can hear - it stinks in your ears.
Do you forget about red hair or someone with that hair?
Eventually, her hands were loosened, and her wide back, which began to slowly rise and fall, was just telling her to sleep.
Collect and drink whatever liquor is left in the bottle on the table in a glass.
It's a terrible drink, but I get drunk.
I don't know, Randolph will forget it tomorrow.
I don't want to pry into who has red hair.
And I remember this story until tomorrow.
When you leave, let seniors who are drinking in nearby seats help you.
I have to take Randolph to his sleeping quarters today.
"Oh, my God. That's a heavy story."
