314 313. Winter Festival And Street Food Tour (South Ward)
I’ve been eating so much that my stomach is full.
I decided to take a break from eating and move to the south ward.
A little wind came out, but Wolf really helped me get out of the wind and my arms were so warm.
I kept walking a little less in the crowd.
As the south ward approached, the neighborhood was surrounded by couples, as well as families and groups of several.
Those who carry fish and meat in large bags, those who carry iced seafood in boxes, and those who seem to have shopped in stores are too hasty.
I felt familiar with the old age.
There are fewer stalls than the Chuo Ward, but there are still plenty of them lined up by the side of the road.
One of them stopped on a flag with ingredients he had never seen before.
A flag with white turtles painted on black, and a large silver shell hanging at the store.
Apparently, it’s a stall made from turtles.
How about a soup of silver tortoise (gingerbread) from Erikia?It’ll warm up. ”
The smiling owner has a glossy white pottery.
She drank it in front of the store and returned the container.
“Silver tortoise?
“Is it a monster?
I’ve never seen turtle cooking in Ordine.
To see the faint magic left in the armor, is it a monster?There was no name in the monster book.
They noticed their strange faces.The owner of the stall explained it with a smile.
“It’s a monster that looks like a turtle with a silver armor.I use body strengthening and water magic, and when I enter the territory, a large male of my body comes into contact with me in the water.It’s strong enough even for big adults. ”
“It’s going to be hard to catch.”
The catch will be quite dangerous if it moves quickly in the water and comes towards us.
Wolf approached the silver armor and looked at it.As a member of the Monster Enemy, I may be planning a fight.
“Now, fishing is easier thanks to the use of a net with the magic of Ordine.I’ll hold the net and wait until I catch the big male approaching. ”
“Is it just the male?
“Yes, it’s the male that’s coming.Because I have the habit of protecting females.Males eat better food, so it’s delicious. ”
I’m starting to feel kind of sorry for you.
But as I got closer to the stall, the scent of rising from the large pot was very good.
I decided to taste the soup with Volff, with a little vegetables and a finely loosened body.
“It’s delicious. It will warm up…..”
“Wonderful. Even though the salt is diluted, the taste is strong…..”
Volff expresses himself correctly.
The stock is very thick and has a unique seafood flavour, whether it tastes like turtles or not.
Perhaps seaweed soup is also added.My body was very warm when I drank it while it was hot and cold.
“Would you both like ‘blood’?
“‘Blood’?
“It is said that if you drink the blood of a ginger turtle on a small plate, you won’t catch a cold in January.”
This is a slightly attractive suggestion at a time when a cold is prevalent.
However, drinking turtle blood is expensive for unfamiliar Darya.
“Don’t you catch a cold….”
“Um, would you like to try Volff?
“Oniisan, I heard that the Great Snake is popular in King’s Landing, but if you’re not tired, my Gingame won’t lose either!So what do you say?
“No! I’ll stop.”
Volff raised his hand and categorically refused to the owner, who smiled and argued.
You’ll think of the turtle’s blood in the boulders.
Returning the vessel to the owner, the two of them headed to the next stall.
“Ah, the tempura of ‘Balloon Fish’!
A short walk away, Volff brightens his eyes on one stall.
“Balloon Fish” is a fish that seems to be from the previous life.
It is highly poisonous and has antidote bracelets or rings to eat.
The development of Ordine’s magic equipment may have led to the development of food culture as one of the foundations.
“Two salts.”
“Thank you! Do you have a disinfectant?If not, I’ll lend you my bracelet. ”
“It’s okay.”
“I have a strong poison, but be careful.”
He was stabbed in a wooden skewer and handed the salt in a dab of wheat with gold.
Still, the jujujube oil is playing.
After a long breath, I chilled and finally got caught in the edge.
When I arrived in a calm, hot body under my crispy clothes, it tasted like white fish without any turbidity.
The soaked salt is just right, and it’s not as oily.
“It’s delicious!
The moment I finished, the ring and bracelet got a little hot.
After a little swelling around your stomach, it feels like your whole body has been hit by a cool breeze.
“Looks like it’s still poisoned.”
Volff said lightly as he continued chewing.
However, this is not the first time Darya has done this.
Previously, I ate colorful mushrooms, balloon fish, and thorn fish with my father.
At that time, the detoxification was similar to the current one.I’m still not used to it.
“I truly respect the magician who developed the poisonous magic tool.”
“That’s right….”
“As a token of respect, I’m going to ask you for another mistaste. Where’s Darya?
Yes, I’d like an extra one, too.
Additionally, the flavor spreads when you add soy sauce to the sashimi.
There was a little poison left in the second bottle, but both were very delicious.
While satisfied, he walked again and found a stall lined with sake from Azuno.
Volff is drying, and Darya is boiling spicy.
What we have here, too, is white pottery.
Sit on a simple chair next to a stall, holding it in the shape of a swallow.
It’s a backless chair, but I really appreciated it because I walked this far.
While warming his throat with alcohol, he looked around.
I wonder if it’s time to start crowding, or if the density of people has increased.
The winter festival lasts until late at night.
I asked Lucia, but she said she sees me from tea time in the afternoon and that people with work often come from the evening.
Unfortunately, we must return before evening.
“Time to find dessert?
“That’s right….”
Though he agreed, Volff sighed as he moved his careless swallowing.
It is a royal castle waiting after drinking and eating.Maybe I’m tired.
“Wolf, are you tired?Are you all right, sir?
“Oh, I’m fine. I’m not tired.I thought the winter festival was in a short time….. ”
I was convinced of his terrible disappointment.
I’ve been eating and drinking a lot, but there’s a lot of food and alcohol I haven’t tried yet.
“Aren’t you coming next year?Well, there’s also a summer festival!
I said that because I wanted to cheer up a little, but that was a long time ago.
But when Volff laughs and nods, he snaps his mask with his fingers.
“That’s right. I had a mask too.Maybe you should come first thing in the morning next time….. ”
The next festival is likely to be early in the morning for both of us.
I don’t know, maybe that’s good.
There’s a honey stall, isn’t there?
Bees and their nests depicted on the orange flag, where they walked again.
It is written as a “bee” in the letters of Azuma no Kuni and Ordine.
“Wolf, honey okay?
“Oh, I think I’ll be able to eat this, too.I was recently trained by Randolph. ”
Not only monsters, but also honey and jam.
Maybe he’s teaching Volff something that’s not too sweet.
While I was thinking about it, Volff bought it again quickly.
“This is honey to eat, or ‘honey’.”
Volff handed over a beehive, not a container of honey on a thin wooden board.
A light yellow nest cut into small squares, filled with honey on the lid.
The sweetness spreads to my mouth when I rinsed the honey a little with the attached wooden spoon.
As far as Volff was concerned, there was nothing on the board.
Mouth and even chew and swallow.
He would have noticed his gaze and said, with a little shame.
“Randolph taught me that little honey is something to eat with one sip.The overall flavor is good. ”
“The overall taste…”
Maybe that’s the right way to eat.
It seemed a little big as Darya, but I decided to be ready and said I was hanging out.
Sweet – simple taste of honey and a hint of floral aroma.
The nest part also seems to be eating a thin pie dough with no sweetness, so there is no discomfort.
It seems that there is a little beeswax left in my mouth, but if I ate it together, it became an accent.
I see, this is a deep flavor that cannot be understood in isolation.
“Oh, you two, are you used to bees?Well, how about this one?Sweet stew (kanro) ”
What was served was black tea grains in a glass bottle.
“Did you boil the nest?
“No, bee boy.The reputation is that the skin becomes smooth and glossy.Ladies and gentlemen are buying it. ”
“… I’m full, so I’ll think about it again.”
I was a little shaken up, but I was reluctant to eat it.
“How’s oniisan?They say it’s good for hair, and men should be glossy too!
Volff put his hand on the black hair once – and then he coughed and refused.
The bee’s sweet stew still seems to be expensive.
That’s how I finished my final dessert.
Winter festivals are really crowded.
It took me an unexpected amount of time to come to the stable in Chuo Ward from the South Ward.
We were supposed to stay together until the carriage left for the West End, but then it was too late for Volff to return to the royal castle.
They decided to break up on the spot.
“I’m sorry, Darya, I can’t slow down…”
“No, thank you all the time since morning.”
Even though it was still early in the evening, we went around the stall together all morning.
I had plenty of fun.
It’s a pity, but Volff is a job from here on out.
“I’m off on the third day of the new year, so can I take some wine with me?
“Yes, I’m looking forward to it.”
Before going to work, “Good luck” is said to be the word used by noble women to drop off knights.
But Darya couldn’t help but say so.
Wolf, please, be careful.
“Thank you.”
Volff takes off his mask and laughs, turning his back on himself.
His feet will take him to the royal castle.The rest is waiting in the Monster Enemy Unit building.
If a monster emerges, he wears red armor (scarlet armor) and goes to battle with his companions – that’s his job as a member of the Monster Crusader.
It was so much fun today – I’ve been here all morning, but I wanted to talk a little more.
Of course, I wouldn’t say anything like that.
The wind suddenly feels cold because of the evening.
Darya held her right hand tightly.
Volff looked back unexpectedly as he gently waited away.
Golden eyes with their hands shaken high and their glasses shifted.
“Bye, Darya!
It sounds very similar to the sound of the day we first met, when we broke up at the castle gate.
It sounds like Dali just turned into Daliya.
But it was completely different.
Now, I have a firm promise that we will meet again.
So Darya raised her hand and smiled as much as she could.
“I’ll be waiting, Volff.”
