Posts from Lafrenia Auto-translated

Upon learning of Airllis's failure, Coriel was surprised and somewhat disappointed ("Our commander looks like someone who knows a lot about food; she went in there with such confidence and expertise that it's amazing how strict their restaurant's criteria are.") Perhaps the Kaol girl told Nao about the reasons, or perhaps not... In any case, the girl gathered her courage and followed her into "Boreas." After making a polite bow, she asks:
— May I try to suggest something to you? I'm not a professional.

— Of course, of course, sometimes the best culinary solutions are created by those who are not professionals. As they say, beginners are lucky!

Let's finish with the questioning; Mira asks the seller:
— Evgeniy Stalinovich, please don't take this as rudeness or idleness, but I'm very curious... What is that unusual name your daughter has? It's beautiful, and I've never heard anything like it.

— Oh, thank you; sometimes our fellow countrymen say that I'm a bit strange, so I appreciate compliments, and Yumiko would be glad to hear it, even if she might say the opposite. Have you ever heard of the country of Momijigari, to the east of Lafrenia? I am a great admirer of their culture, and when I was giving my daughter a name, I decided that I needed to do it with love and choose something that I liked... Besides, a unique name will surely make life more interesting than if she simply blended in with thousands of other people with the same name. The hieroglyphs in this name, by the way, mean "beautiful child."

I'm leaving very early tomorrow + my head isn't working well enough to finish this now, so I'll close this topic tomorrow; if anyone wants to contribute, there's still time.

The girl nodded.
Well, she wasn't exactly an expert in lily cuisine, and she mostly ate coffee, but she did have one weakness, for which the picky eater would make a rare exception – it was spicy food. Invigorating, spicy food... And, judging by the fact that the restaurant clearly leaned towards all kinds of fried dishes, Coriel had a suitable recipe.
Strictly speaking, the girl wasn't sure if the dish she knew a little about originated in the Federation. On the other hand, the choice of ingredients and the way it was served looked quite in their style.
Coriel Na began to recall the visual image of how it was prepared... Cook the rice. Then add spices, cheese, egg, a pinch of salt, water, hot pepper. Mix everything and roll into balls.
This task was not easy, because for someone like Coriel, the lack of sphericity of the balls was like a red rag to a bull. The balls had to be perfect.
Now, the breading. Okay, it seems easy enough for now...
Now, heat the oil in a pot. The first problem is – how do you know when the oil is hot enough? An attempt to splash a little water into the oil to check resulted in an explosive reaction and a burned chin... "Ouch," was the silent mental reaction, but at least it became clear that the oil had heated up.
Using a spoon, the balls were carefully lowered into the oil, just for a moment, and... pulled out as shapeless lumps. How did that happen? Too much cheese, or what? And the lily tried so hard to make them spherical...
Overcoming the desire to immediately throw everything in the trash, Na still risked trying her creation. Hmm, the spiciness was hardly felt – maybe the pepper here is different, she should have added more. The rice is undercooked, hard (she had to mess up the simplest thing?). Too much salt...
Coriel sighed and repeated everything from the beginning, and then again and again... Finally, she got exactly what she wanted. A ball consisting mainly of pepper, and even in its cooled state, it was smoking, and the plate was steaming from it as if from a strong acid, but it was exactly what the lily loved, so that it burned right away, and the combination of the other ingredients, and the shape – everything was, in her opinion, just right.
Having satisfied her taste, the girl was still not so naive as to think that the restaurant owner would also like this hellish, scorching meteorite, so the rest of the balls, for the presentation, the lily made spicy, but in a more traditional sense.
The question of the name remained... Let it be "Com Chen Pho Mai" – this combination of some Eastern words just popped into her head when Coriel thought about the dish. Perhaps it was really called that, or maybe it was about something else, but if anything, she would probably be corrected?

The last speaker at the culture conference was a certain Iberis from Sanguinaria. He was a tall and strong-looking young warrior. 

Which of the deities of the Pantheon of Seven is the most beautiful, and why?

— I apologize for the bluntness of my tongue, but being a man very far removed from the cult in question, allow me to be extremely frank in my descriptions. — After clearing his throat, he shifted his tone slightly from polite to just a touch mischievous. — So, Tristitia: draw me as all thoughtful and sad. — Spreads his hands. — Luxuria: what use is a castle that opens with every key?.. Ira: skulls, fire, lightning, black mountains on the horizon... Is she 15 or something? Invidia: when you try to attract attention without having any merits of your own. Avaritia: when you're so greedy that you keep gold not only in the safe, but also eat it. That leaves Gula and Superbia: both look pretty, but the blue-haired beauty suits my aesthetic preferences more. 

What are the strongest aspects of Mana's, Abelia's, and Risha's images?

— The maternal side of Mana, tied to care and love for us, her children, is undoubtedly her strongest aspect. When life brings a streak of failures or everything goes wrong overall, nothing is desired as much as drowning in her gentle, kind embrace. Abelia... Perhaps, the inevitability of meeting her. And Risha, well, by awakening the masculine principle in any representative of the stronger sex; if it doesn't awaken, then he isn't a real man at all.

Favorite eye color?

— Golden! The mirror of the soul — that's where the true treasure full of gold lies, not trinkets and baubles of the rich of this world.

Favorite hair color?

— Light blue. Preferably long, with part loose and the other part gathered behind into two cute little ponytails.

What do you prefer - tights, stockings, or knee-high socks?

And what length - thigh-high, above the knee, or below the knee?

How about skirts, which length is best - mini, above the knee, below the knee?

— Thigh-high socks, so that there remains quite a small gap between them and the skirt.

What's better - a skirt, shorts, or pants?

— A decent woman, especially one who has nothing to hide, won't wear pants. Shorts would suffice, but overall, out of those listed, I accept only a skirt.

What about height - short, medium, or tall?

— Such that when she sits on your lap, it's comfortable to stroke her head or hold her close to your chest. 

And breasts - small, medium, or large?

— Medium or small, but certainly not large. What lifts the spirit isn't necessarily beautiful on a deeper level of perception.

The stranger's answer made some laugh, seemed amusing to others, and even offended a few, but it was obvious he wasn't vying for first place. When his series of answers concluded, those gathered continued discussing what they had heard, offering their own versions of answers and such, and eventually the winner was announced, who turned out to be Mira.
 — I confess, your description of Risha's strengths struck me to the depths of my soul; it resembled less an analysis and more a fervent yet conscious declaration of deep and pure love. That was the main reason why you turned out to be the winner. I hope none of those gathered have any objections to this decision? — Looks around the hall, then displays the figurines of the Seven. — Anyway, congratulations! This year, you are awarded the title of lady of culture! — Hands over the Luxuria figurine and claps her hands, which the audience repeats. — Meanwhile, I'd also like to congratulate Coriel Ilk; it seems the majority of the audience is most aligned with his answers. It appears, Coriel, that you are truly a paragon of Eolian masculinity!

"It seems my answer was highly appreciated. Meanwhile, Mala turned out to be a big admirer of Rishi, who would have thought? Although, in my opinion, she idealizes her too much, but Mala has some interesting thoughts, and I will try to work on them..."
Thanks the organizer with a bow.

I buy and drink a potion that gives +1 to Willpower, and learn the "Refreshing Touch" spell.

Meanwhile, in some other time period.

— Hmm... — The face of Chinh Thi Trung, who was evaluating Coriel's dish, didn't show any noticeable emotions, except perhaps deep contemplation. — Coriel, right? I don't even know how to say this to you...

— Hmm... — The face of Chinh Thi Trung, who was evaluating Coriel's dish, didn't show any noticeable emotions, except perhaps deep thoughtfulness. — Coriel, right? I don't even know how to say this...

"Apparently, it didn't turn out very well? Well, at least I tried, and I gained some experience from it..." — Nao said, a little disheartened, as she prepared to listen to an unbiased assessment.

— Wouldn't you like to join us full-time?

– I... I need to think about it, – the little lily was surprised by the unexpected offer. “Having a stable income that would allow me to buy an unlimited number of books and learn magic to my heart's content sounds great, but I'm afraid that, given the current situation in Aeolia, it's less realistic than it might seem... It's amazing that anyone would appreciate my tastes, although I did try to make them appealing...”

— Well, think about it, we'll be waiting for your answer! And in the meantime, here's your reward.

- Thank you!... - Mira wiped her eyes. - I'm very glad that I was able to touch your heart...

— Oh, thank you, sometimes our fellow countrymen say that something is wrong with my head, so I welcome compliments, and Yumiko would be glad to hear it, even if she might say the opposite in words. Have you ever heard of the country of Momijigari, which is east of Lafrenia? I am a big admirer of their culture, and when I was naming my daughter, I decided that I needed to do it with love and choose something that my heart desires... Besides, with a unique name, life will definitely be more interesting than if you just blend in with thousands of other namesakes. The hieroglyphs in this name, by the way, mean "beautiful child".

- No, never. But now I want to visit it someday, if fate allows...

well, let's do the last shopping and preparations, and what's there - monkeys, tree, main?

I would try a quest involving escorting a character, as long as it doesn't conflict with anyone's roleplaying preferences.

When the cultural conference drew to a close, someone waved at Nao, and an unfamiliar man approached Mira. 
— My lady! — He dropped to one knee and attempted to kiss the girl's hand. — The organizer of this splendid event may have been touched by your love for the goddess of chaos, but that was merely a superficial sentiment on his part. I, in turn, am ready to boldly declare that the beauty of your soul has captivated my very being! I, Lance Perigor, hereditary aristocrat of Dithlind, albeit deprived of an official title due to the unacceptable peasant revolution that happened to occur in my native land, swear my loyalty to you and stand ready to carry out any command of yours!

- A... this... - Mira was taken aback by such a surge of energy, and her hand trembled. - M-maybe it's not necessary...

— How can I not be there when you need me? From now on, you are my sun, and I am your shadow. Wherever you go, I will always be by your side! 24/7, 365 days a year! So don't worry, I will definitely protect you and your honor from enemies and all sorts of suspicious individuals!
