63 Episode 58: Inspection of the Lumberjack Guild, Part 2

The red of the burning sky gradually changes to a quiet indigo color, making our shadows longer.  The face of the person walking next to us was so dim that we could barely see it, that we were feeling moderate fatigue.  Even though the inspection started after lunch, I feel hungry for walking until this time.  The inspection team's stomach looks like it's about time to cry out for death. "How was it? I'm proud of the sanitation of the 42 wards today, and I assure you with confidence that having a branch of the Woodman Guild will not stigmatize you.""I'm sure. I was very impressed that it was so unusual." Javier writes to me like that.  In fact, Javier expressed his interest in everything, including roads and buildings, and was gasping with admiration at the transformation of the 42 wards. "Is this going to be possible in the Forty-Ward in the future "Umbrose, you've made a good purchase." Ambrose Demily is the lord of the Forty Ward and has just signed a contract for sewerage.  The reason why Umaro, who has just moved from the 40th to the 42nd wards, "goes out" to the 40th wards almost every day is because of the construction work. That's not the right time, is he?  In any case, Javier, the guild's chief, seems satisfied with the situation in the 42nd leg.  Javier was originally in favor of creating a branch of the Woodman's Guild in the 42nd leg.  I'm sure that he participated positively in this tour. "But it's inconvenient to do nothing," She's one of the girls, but... she's got to go somewhere and say, "You're in the 42nd leg after all."  What should I say..."I have no pride in admitting that Waxi, the daughter of the Woodman Guild, who is based in Forty-Ward, will make the bottom forty-two wards so easy," he said.  Even Imelda was simply impressed by the sewage treatment process and asked a lot of questions about the environment and equipment.  And since all these questions were based on the premise that "if the Woodman Guild were to set up a branch," it did not appear that they wanted to prevent the establishment of a branch, at all costs.  Only one thing -- 'I don't want to admit the bottom 42 so easily' -- seems to be preventing Imelda from giving a positive answer. Or I can't think of anything else.  She doesn't look like the type of person who tries to bring out good conditions by complaining, and she must be really stubborn and proud.  I have a troublesome personality.  But conversely, that's the only neck.  As long as we can break down that point, this invitation will surely succeed. "Well, let's have dinner."I've been waiting for you!"`Oh, my God! It's rice!' The loggers scream like beasts, who must be so hungry.  With all this hunger, it would be delicious to eat anything.  ......please, Magda. Keep the shop decorations normal. . . . . ."Now, gentlemen, this way." Estella takes the lead and goes back the way she came.  You might want to hurry up a little.  There are only fields around here, no shops or houses, and when the sun sets, it is completely dark.  It's a disadvantage to let him walk in such a situation. "It's very dark. The road at night is dangerous." Look! I got hit right away. "If you're scared, shall I hold you with my hands?""Huh!" Imelda makes a pheasant sound.  Even though the sun has already set, they are still spinning around with parasols.  The rotational speed is going to be tremendous. ... What do you want to spin the ball on top of it?`Oh... that's all right! Well, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, I'm not a child. I turn my head away and walk fast.  You almost called him a lover, didn't you? By the way, I'm afraid that the negative feelings of the muscle mukki koriz are being splashed out from behind... if we succeed in attracting the Woodman Guild, will they live here? Wow... Mendokususo...... make one's way through the countryside a little faster "What?" There is a dim light ahead.  What's going on? As I walked towards the light, I saw that it was the light of a lantern light. "Thank you for your hard work." Sister Bertina greeted us with a saintly smile in the light of the lantern.  It was too dark to tell, but it was in front of the church.  Is the church at night so dark?" You turned on the lights to take care of the kids when they fell. Well, it's a poor church, so you're saving money. "The road is getting dark, so we'll take you to Yangdamari-tei.""Us?""It's us!" At Bertina's feet came the children.  They are church children and Loretta's younger brothers and sisters, who have recently been taken care of by the church.  The inspection team was quickly surrounded by as many as twenty children. "It's dangerous,""Take care of your feet,""There's a light," Some of the children have lanterns, so they seem to shine around us.  What? You're smart, aren't you?  Look, Imelda is gazing joyfully at the children. The effect is enormous, isn't it?  and Javier, the guild-master, looked fondly at the young ladies with lanterns..."Eagle... I think I'll live here when the chapter is formed." Don't live there! You should go home quickly! That's why I'm not trying to get the top of the branch! Are the artisans of the Forty Ward always stupid? ..................oh......Woomaro is a smoothie, too......... Having noticed something unpleasant in common, I stumbled along the way to Yodamari-tei to be protected by my children. "Yasilo". When Yodamari-tei approaches, Estella calls me in a low voice. "Magda did it for me,""Huh? . . . . ." I couldn't help but hold my breath.I didn't expect this either... Magda, I'll do it.  Several large candles were placed on the road in front of the Yangdari-tei, illuminating the dark road.  In the midst of the flickering lights, the Yangdari-tei is fantastic as if it were floating in the darkness of the night, and it gives you the illusion that you have wandered into the world of dreams. "It's pretty...." Imelda's words, which seemed to have been leaked, seemed to represent the hearts of all present. "Welcome to Yodamari-tei," Jeanette's voice greeted us as we looked at the wobbly fantastic landscape.  All the employees line up in front of the Yodamari-tei.  Uniforms are also a new hospitality version for today.  With a slightly more mature look, it's been changed from the usual cute furikuri maid to chic, calm and elegant dress. "This is... beautiful." Javier values our employees as such.  Well, of course.  Looking at the employees lining up, Jeanette smiles gently, Loretta smiles as hard as to say, "I'll do my best," and Magda turns the V sign towards her with a quiet expressionless expression.  Good job, Magda.  If my wax statues had been lit up here, I would have passed by and eaten on the main street.  As expected of Magda. I'll have to compliment her later.  And...... will Jeanette give me a little lecture later?"Huh!" Jeanette shrivels and shrinks, perhaps sensing something.  ...it's okay. I'll give you some slack depending on your efforts after this. . . . ."Well, then! Come this way, gentlemen!" In a slightly hoarse voice, Jeanette leads the visitors into the store.  Seeing off the loggers' backs as they walk into the store, I head to my sisters who were waiting in the garden.  It's always a place for stalls, but now it's empty. They're on loan for a bit tonight. "Tell him to get ready soon. He should be here in about twenty minutes.""All right!""I'll tell you!""The night-time errand, wow!""I'm not afraid of the streets at night!""It's different from your brother!" noisy  I wouldn't be scared if I wasn't alone. "I will accompany you, just in case," Natalia, who quietly came to support me, offers to help me.  That would be a great help. Even though security in the 42nd district has improved, my sisters are still children. "Please,""I hope you will take good care of your daughter,""The workmanship is flowing, and the rest is finished.""If things go well, the Forty-two wards will change again?""Oh, that's a good thing, too."Well... I'll be back." Natalia says, somewhat pleased.  I can't say for certain, but he must be pleased that the forty-two wards of his lord's government are getting better and better.  I thought so when I saw Natalia walking away with her sisters. "Oh my gosh!"`--?!?' Natalia... flew!?"What's that?""What?""Nothing,""Tell me,""I'm curious,""It can't be helped, can't it? Then let's all do it together. Start.""'Huh!'" Aren't you so excited? It had nothing to do with my position!"Well, I'm glad you look happy." After seeing off Natalia and her sisters, I go into the dining room.  The dining room was bright.  A torch provided by Estella is installed along the wall. It's a torch.  There were only a few sets of crossed torches, and the store was so bright that I could not recognize them.  This will reflect the food.  Jeanette could not be seen in the kitchen.  There is an unbearable fragrance in the store.  This smell alone is enough to make white rice more attractive.  Magda and Loretta are busy inside, handing out water to the loggers at the table.  Since they are talking about water purifiers, the loggers are interested in this, Ano... "It's delicious......it's water, but it's clean." Imelda seems to like the lemon water in the Yangtari-tei; she's gulping down.  Estella stands by the wall watching the loggers sitting there, ready to help if anything happens.  and the whole church of Bertina sat at a different table from the loggers... "...what are you sitting for?""I heard something special will come out." You know, I wonder if the pick‐up and drop‐off arrangement I made earlier was just to get to the table... ...and the kids, with the expression of intent to eat it all...I can't help it. It's a bad idea to force them back here. They are church officials. Of course, even in the Fortyth Ward, the Church of Spirits has gained support. I'm sure the loggers are also believers.  ......well, I'll get Estella to pay for it in bulk. "Thank you for waiting!" Jeanette emerges from the kitchen with a cheerful voice.  From behind, my sisters, dressed in cute uniforms, come out.  They're always making popcorn with magda.  This time, we're going to use the number of people to set the table all at once.  Each table is loaded with more dishes than we can put down. "Oh, this is... how beautiful..."Javier groans.  Imelda's parents, Javier seems to be quite an aesthetic; he has a good eye for things.  Even the good loggers of Gatai, who are likely to get stuck as soon as they see the rice, are simply fascinated by the beauty of the food.  The dishes on the table are usually served at the Yodamari-tei.  Having received such a good reputation, you can always see how hard Jeanette is working. "Good job today." Estella opens her mouth when all the dishes are served.  Everyone who was distracted by the food turned to Estella.  Imelda is momentarily late, but makes a face as if nothing had happened.  He seemed to be fascinated by the food.  Meal dishes, which are determined with consideration for their color, are actually very beautiful. They include techniques that our home country has cultivated over a long period of time, and things like wabi and loneliness, and they are the ultimate form that has been polished and eliminated from excesses have been eliminated.  It would be a stunning beauty to those who only think of food as "just something to eat."  Meals are enjoyed by all five senses.  Not only the taste, but also the scent, the appearance, and the sound of "sak" and "jwa" (sak) sound convey the deliciousness. The texture of "sak" and the elasticity of thick meat when touched with chopsticks also stimulate appetite.  The comprehensive art of human life. That's what food is all about. "What do you think, our 42 wards -- the cityscape, the infrastructure, the people -- will continue to develop on the basis of innovative and unique technology that no other wards have, and I am sure that the presence of the 42 wards will be essential for the Woodman Guild." Estella's speech continues.  It's a sort of way of talking that gets into the other person's pocket. It's the exact opposite of what I'm talking about.  I'd rather pull and trap the guy I've been chasing.  Especially when there's such a crooked person. "Then it sounds as if the Forty-second Ward and the Woodman Guild are equal,""Oh......." Imelda stands up to interrupt Estella's speech.  ... I'm scared of your face, Imelda. Did you get so offended?"Sure, the sewage technology is quite remarkable. The city has become a lot more beautiful." Take the fan out of your pocket and thrust it against Estella. "But, after all, it's the 42nd leg! No matter how hard the bottom tries, it's impossible to catch up with anyone far up! The 42nd leg now is... well... it's like a monkey imitation, just looking at the surface!""... Monkey, copy...?" Estella's cheeks twitch. "You say it's an innovative technology, but isn't it possible without a Woodman Guild? To boast to the other Woodman Guild the technology that can only be used with the help of the Woodman Guild... is there no concept of shame?""Shame . . . . . .""You can't do it, Estella," One step, Jeanette quickly stops Estella, who puts her foot forward.  A touch‐and‐go... such a disturbing atmosphere begins to drift.  What a shame, Estella.  It's only counterproductive to preach their achievements to the type of people like Imelda who would not like it if they weren't the best, otherwise they wouldn't forgive. Instead of saying, "If you're that good, let's do business together," you end up saying, "It's much more amazing, but hmmm!" "It was quite imperious of him to hug the Woodman Guild on his back, and to say that he would benefit from it. For the Woodman Guild, forty-two wards would be indispensable...? Are you about to laugh?""Imelda, stop there.""Does your father say that her opinion is more correct than that of a viper?""Well, no... that's not the case." Spent by Imelda, the grizzly muscle Javier crumbles.  You're weak, Ossan... He wandered his eyes and looked happy the moment he met me. "He'll tell you the rest!" Wow, he threw me a whole ball. "Continued on the web"? Who's the web? "What do you want to say?" Imelda glares at me.  Looking around, Estella looks displeased, Jeanette looks anxious, and Javier looks at me like, "If you can persuade me, I'll cooperate with you, please!"  Oh, my God. I can't help it can'tell me.  But I was going to finish it all by myself. "Imelda, do you say that the 42 wards have no innovative technology?""I acknowledge the techniques of sewage, but it's only with a woodcutter's guild... that we should be indebted to him for such a thing.""I'll give you a favour."Why? I don't mean to?""Well, I'm trying to give you a favor. I'm glad you've spoken to the Forty-second Ward.""What about the vultures? Are you kidding?""And that's not the case," Move slowly and walk right in front of Imelda.  Imelda stared at my movements and followed me with her eyes. She didn't even blink. "Without the Woodman Guild, the Forty-two wards will continue to develop. This is a decision.""There is no basis for it,""I have technology.""And that's only if there's a Woodman's Guild...!""That's not all,""...what?""Not only that, but our innovative and unique technology,"".........anything else?" answer the question with a smile rather than words  There's a lot of technology. Popcorn, stalls, filters, etc.  But let's take a look at some of the most effective technologies that can silence them.  I raise my index finger and stick it out in front of Imelda."...above?" Slowly lower your index finger facing upward and point to the dishes on the table. "It's a dish that you used to praise for being beautiful.""What!? I didn't give him a great deal of praise! It was just... something I could see!" Hmm... Yes, I bit it.  Now he's going to go against even the smallest things. "Look at it. It's a sight, isn't it?""Huh! So what?""It's beautiful, isn't it?"I've heard what it is." ...let me swim a little more......"Do you like beautiful things? Enjoy them to your heart's content.""As I have said before, no matter how beautiful the food is, it will disappear if you eat it, and if you don't eat it, it will only expose you to decay and misery!" Imelda smiles high as she rips up her hair, which has fluttered down her bangs. "You must have tried to compete with numbers... I'm sorry to hear that the more you increase, the more miserable you are. It doesn't resonate with the vampire.""Don't talk about the good or bad of the food without eating.""I don't like it!" a hysterical cry  It's the sound of a warning issued by someone who touches something he doesn't want to touch.  an instinctive warning that is most surprising to the person who uttered it right after it was uttered. 「…………」 After an awkward silence, Imelda whispers in an inevitable voice. "They hate to see the loss of what is there, and to see it rot in an ugly way." I don't know what makes him so obsessed with beauty.  I don't want to know about the past or the trauma. I don't want to know.  But if that's the reason for your refusal, you can't resist any more?""What's here is all right.""...what?""There is no shortage or decay of the things that are now.""What do you mean by that?""Genet"."Yes, yes!" Turn away from the hostile imageer and signal Genet. "That one," Jeanette then nodded loudly, with a bright look on her face, "I've been waiting for you!" "Yes!" Jeanette runs to the kitchen. "What are you going to do?""Well, I'm looking forward to seeing it. It will convince you that what I said is true.""There must be some indelible food in this world...""Here we are," Imelda is interrupted and glares at me without trying to hide her displeasure.  But as soon as she saw what Jeanette had brought, her eyes and mouth opened at the same time to the limit. "...what!" The faces of all the people there turn into astonishment. "F.........there's a fork floating around!" a thing brought by Jeanette  It was meat sauce pasta, except that the fork that lifted the pasta with sauce was floating against gravity. "What's going on!? The invisible are supporting the fork!" Who can't see? I'll knock you out of sight and salt you in the front door. "Ya, Yashiro, what about this?" Estella also runs to me in surprise.  The only people who know who this is are us Yodarmari-tei employees, sculptor Becko Nouveau, and Regina of the Special Sunks.  However, Becko may no longer be called a sculptor, but a wax artist.  Yes, the pasta that this fork floated on me, and the dishes that line up here--"It's a food sample.""Food... samples?" These are all elaborate fakes made of wax.  This is a sample of the food that is familiar to restaurants in department stores. "Oh, this is all... fake?" Imelda touches the chicken cutlet beside her in surprise. "...really, then, here too!? This too!" Then you touch the food in front of you one after another.  All of these are fake wax.  Becko refined what he described as "a lot of surplus" wax as much as possible and used it to make it.  What matters, along with the true shape, is the true color, which I asked Regina to make me some lipstick.  To prevent accidental drinking, Regina sometimes colored the pills, and that's when it hit her. It must be red to color the pills. Then I wonder if she could make other colors.  The results were excellent.  This has resulted in a food sample that looks nothing but real. "It won't rot away even if it's left for ten or a hundred years, though it'll have to be kept in good order." It's made of wax, so of course you can't eat it. Instead, it won't rot.  ... well, there are unfortunate food samples in a deserted soba restaurant like "Hey, you're not going to call in customers, are you?" "Well... it's a real sham.""Even at this distance, it only looks real..." Imelda stopped moving as the loggers gazed at food samples with great interest.  He's standing still, not twitching. "...does the things lined up here really exist."Oh, all of these are on the menu here." When I made food samples, I had Jeanette actually make them.After all, Becko can reproduce exactly what she saw, but she can't imagine what she didn't see.  Here's an elaborate copy of what Jeanette actually made. "Genet, you did a great job, too.""No. Cooking is what I live for." Jeanette smiles so.  Naturally, the food we made for sample making was delicious by our employees later on. "...yeah, yes...it is...it does." Imelda's shoulders begin to tremble. "...waxes like beautiful things, especially beautiful food...but the food spoils the perfect beauty in one bite...the uglyness of leftover food."The emptiness of empty dishes after I finished eating... I just couldn't like them." Imelda begins to speak, little by little. "I've encountered a number of beautiful dishes before... every time I saw them, they seemed to break my heart with feelings I couldn't help but want to keep them beautiful! The more beautiful they are, the stronger they are! ... but if you don't eat them, the food will rot away... ...and turn into a sad figure...""Well, well... there's no such thing as permanent. This is not going to happen in time.""I understand, that's about it! It'll get dirty, it can get broken... and yet the vaxis......now.........I'm impressed...." Looking up, Imelda was in tears. "I want to have the same food as this! I want to know how it tastes, I want to smell it, I want to enjoy the texture! And... I want to see this and immerse myself in happiness over and over again every time after time." I don't have enough to eat myself, but... can I remember again with samples?  If I were in Japan, I guess I would take pictures of all the dishes that came out and post my impressions on my blog.  You can't see it in this world unless you see the real thing.  I understand a little bit of sadness. "Mr. Manager!"Yes,""Can I have everything here?""Of course!" When Jeanette received the order, the loggers raised their hands in unison. "Then I'm meat sauce pasta!""Oh, neither me nor me!""Me too! Two!" I'm inundated with orders for that kind of airy meat sauce pasta... ...as planned! When I made a food sample, I was determined to make only pasta.  Food samples of pasta are of interest to all children.  I was sure I'd get a lot of attention here, too.  This will sell you pasta! With a little arrangement and a wide variety of pasta, you'll find the most powerful pasta in cost performance!"Oh my gosh!" Then there was someone who came to the store at the right time.  This is Paula, a cantaltica sign with golden retriever ears. "It's a mobile sale of cold beer~"````` `Oh, my gosh!'' It's a scream!  It's the cry of the souls of men who, if Munch was there, would close their ears and turn pale. "The timing was perfect." Natalia comes back after asking for help.  This was the last time they called me.  Yodamari-tei doesn't serve alcoholic beverages. That's fine with regular customers, but the only way to heal the men who have walked around all day in the hot weather is to have cold beer.  That's why I rented both stalls and had Paula come all the way to sell them.  The second store specializes in cathartica and is packed with beer.  The 7th store has several kinds of recommended sake brought from shops other than Kantaltica.  By using glasses with the name of the shop, you can see which sake is sold in which shop. If you like it, you can go there personally at a later date. "Thank you for waiting for the food!" As the loggers begin to gulp down beer, a savory scent comes from the store that stimulates hunger. "Wow! I can't stand it!""I live here now!""The 42nd leg is the best!""Yangdaljeong is the best!""The sisters are fluttering!" Hey, head of the guild. You're going to pick at my daughter. Open the store's large windows and connect the garden to the store. It looks like a huge beer garden, but it's a perfect bustle on a day like this. "It's delicious... it's delicious! But when I eat it, it's still here... it's wonderful!" Imelda was sipping pasta in a frenzy.  Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"What? What a bustle!" Then the men of the Torbeck factory, led by Umaro, show up. "Womaro, what happened to the arrangements for the accommodation?""""Batchwise! We have prepared an inn where groups can feel safe and comfortable!""" I've had accommodations made for the guests of Bip for this occasion.  The landlady couldn't get ready, so she left the interior of the building and room to the Tolbeck factory for her own attendant, so there's no doubt about it. "You've had a hard time. Go eat what you like, too.""Yes! Then the aura.........pasta is selling like hot cakes!? What? Forks are flying!" Oh, why... if you think there's a clink here and there... are all the loggers trying to float their forks like food samples?  I did it too... when I was about three years old. "Mr. Jiro," Jeanette comes running and smiles at me. "What a success!""Ah,"It's a great success. It's safe to say so.  As far as Imelda is concerned... ...this won't object.  Maybe Javier is so sure of it, but he's in a good mood eating beer. "Then it's finally the end,""Huh? Finishing it?" Did you prepare dessert? If it's a demonstration sale of popcorn, I'm sure you'll be interested..."Enjoy your meal and enjoy the wax statue of Jiro!""What!""Well, I'll get ready!" Genet disappears into the kitchen in unimaginable light steps from the usual calm atmosphere.  He really seems to think that the wax statue is something that people like... well!"Somebody! Stop Genet! The manager is mad!" After that, I and Estella took over Jeanette, who was about to take out the wax statue that had been spread all over the courtyard.  It's no joke.  If twenty or more of them were to be put together, there would be a possibility that they would be able to talk about attracting branch offices. "But she's so cute!""It's not cute!? Look carefully, Jeanette! Jiro isn't cute at all!""... How about that, Estella? But it's rather pretty...""Don't you want to stop!""I want to stop it, but it's too much to say that it's not cute!""Mendokusai, come on!" So, while the sun was beating around behind the scenes, there was a constant roar of laughter in the sunlit pavilion until late at night.
