Juliana’s workshop Chapter 58: Quiet dinner time

　　 It’s twilight time. The setting sun happened to connect with the horizon line, dyeing the sea into golden yellow, and its own brilliance turned dim, turning it into an existence that people could look at directly. It’s as if the light in one’s body has been distributed to the sea, and the sea has become the same existence.

　　 Behind the chapel facing the sea, there is not only a stable with horses, but also a living area for the clergy. The bedroom, the study, and the dining room are a bit smaller, but everything is available. Now Lulunaka and others have come here, making this small chapel more crowded. Although it is a bit crowded, as long as it is squeezed, it can barely be accommodated.

　　 It’s time for dinner, and everyone is gathered here in the dining hall. Everyone sat down, and Apo’s prepared dinner was placed on the round table. There are ingredients that are already in the chapel, some dried fish and wild vegetables, and there are dried meat and biscuits brought by the convoy.

　　 Romyona sat down and looked around the round table. Everyone else is here, only Lulu Naka is not there.

　　 Not everyone is here in the dining hall, and there is a lack of someone who is very important in every sense. Ward was there, wandering around the dining hall, sniffing around with his nose against the ground, like a stray dog ​​looking for bones.

　　 “Where is Luluna stuck?” Romiuona asked.

　　 It was Padin who answered her question, “When I came here just now, I saw her near the warehouse,…breaking down the wagon.” Padin hesitated for a while before finishing the words. “She looks very busy, let me tell you, don’t wait for her, she will take care of herself for dinner.”

　　Romiona’s eyes jumped. She didn’t expect to hear such things as dismantling a carriage, Lulunaka seemed to be able to do some unexpected things. Is she an alchemist or a carpenter?

　　 Romiuona was not angry at hearing that the carriage was dismantled. She was just wondering why a good carriage was dismantled, and why she had to be so busy that she would even take up time for dinner. But these questions seem to be explained by “She is Lulu Naka”.

　　 “Leave her alone, please do it yourself.” Apo spoke first, reached out and took a few biscuits, soaked them in his bowl of broth made of dried meat, and started to eat. He wore a monk’s robe and lived in the chapel, but had no intention of praying before the meal, so he started the dinner.

　　 Other people, you look at me, I look at you, and then they all start to enjoy their own dinner.

　　 This is probably the most silent dinner time that Romyona has ever experienced. Although dinner time is not a good time to talk-because that would be very rude-but the quietness now is a bit uncomfortable. The old man named Apo is taciturn. As the host here, his attitude is really easy to give rise to the illusion that he does not welcome guests. The owner of the chapel is like this, it is difficult for other people to talk to him, let alone get close to him.

　　 Lulunaka, who can ease the atmosphere, is not here, making the dinner atmosphere seem to freeze. Everyone is immersed in eating, no one is going to talk. The only thing that was noticeable was Julius. Julius seemed to be starving, and the sound of eating was much louder than usual. Perhaps this is just an illusion of Romeo Na, or because it is easier to amplify a person’s voice in a place like indoors than in a forest, so Julius’s usual behaviors that do not make people feel inappropriate, It has been magnified several times.

　　 Julius is sitting to the right of Romeo Na, separating her from Apo. He chewed and drank soup too loudly, causing Romeo Na to frown. She is not a hypocritical true nobleman, but Julius’s performance, alone, seems a bit rude. Especially at this kind of almost silent dinner, Julius’s voice is a bit distracting.

　　 But Apo seemed to have no opinion. Moreover, Apo did not need to go where Julius was elegant when he ate, but he was more restrained, did not make any strange noises, and was very careful not to let the crumbs of cookies and soup get on his robe and beard. Compared with Julius, Apo’s demeanor can be said to be elegant.

　　 When the incident was discovered, the spoon that Romyona raised up stopped. Because Apo was sitting directly opposite her, it was inconvenient for her to observe Apo’s behavior. But when recalling Apo’s behavior when eating, Romiuona found that Apo’s movements were somewhat aristocratic. Being stuffed into the knowledge of noble etiquette like a duck is one of the most painful things in Romiuona’s life, and because of the pain, she remembers these tedious things very clearly, and it is almost impossible to remember them wrong.

　　 If Apo is a clergyman, then it would not seem strange that he is a nobleman. But in such a chapel, there is a clergyman who came from a nobleman, and that is a strange thing.

　　 There is no doubt that this chapel once belonged to the Church of the Holy Spirit, and the temple of the Crescent Church would not be like this. The emperor of the Crescent Empire allowed the existence of people of different beliefs in his country, but that was only for the belief in the God of Light, and no traces of the Church of Light or the Church of the Holy Spirit were allowed to appear in the empire. In the Crescent Empire, believers of the God of Light are allowed to own churches, but it will never be the churches of the Church of Light and the Church of the Holy Spirit.

　　In the territory of the Crescent Empire, it is already a wonder that there is a chapel of the Holy Spirit Church. In such a chapel, there is still a nobleman who does not look like a nobleman at all?

　　 If Apo is really a nobleman, then why did he fall into such a situation, is he fleeing, or is he down?

　　 Romouona glanced at Apo, who just happened to raise her head, and the two of them looked like they had joined together. Romiuona kept drinking the soup with the spoon silently, and did not panic because of it, as if it was just an accidental sight contact.

　　 Even if Apo is really a nobleman, it probably has nothing to do with Romeo Na. Romiuona also didn’t have any qualifications to sympathize with others. To talk about decay, she, a half-barreled pseudo-aristocrat, and a former aristocrat who had been sacrificed as a victim, was probably in no better situation than Apo’s.

　　 When she retracted her gaze, she just glanced at Julius next to her. Julius’ mouth was stuffed with biscuits, and it looked like a hamster hiding only food. Julius, who noticed Romiuona’s sight, didn’t mean to evade, and returned a suspicious look, seeming to wonder why Romiuona looked at him.

　　Romouona lowered her eyes and continued to drink her own broth with a spoon.

　　 The dinner was very quiet, and it ended quickly. At this time, the sun had fallen below sea level, leaving only a few afterglows.

　　Romiona left the dining hall and went outside. The sky has darkened, and the sound of the waves seems to have become louder. She walked near the stables and saw Lulu Naka’s figure alive. She had torn down the roof of the carriage in which she was sitting, and the wheels, and now there is only one base. She was sitting on it, holding a hammer in her hand, constantly beating the base of the carriage, making a ding-ding-dong-dong sound.

　　 At this time, Romeo Na is alone. Obviously, what Lulunaka is doing now, she can’t help, and Lulunaka won’t necessarily accept her help~IndoMTL.com~ She leaned against the wall and looked at her. Lunaka kept swinging the hammer.

　　 Lulunaka has a rhythm when she swings the hammer, as if she is beating a drum, and there is a pleasant-sounding hum in her mouth. It seemed that she was not going to break all the chassis of the carriage, but she hooked up a lot of nails and drove a lot in. She has a water bag and a few biscuits next to her. After a while, she will put a biscuit into her mouth, pour a sip of water and continue to tap the bottom plate-it seems that this is her dinner.

　　Lulunaka had spotted Romiuona by her side long ago, but didn’t talk to her right away, chewing cookies in her mouth, and didn’t stop her hand movements. After swallowing the food and water, she beat the bottom of the bed while talking to Romeo Na: “It’s finished dinner? How does it feel like here, is it a nice place?”

　　Romiona nodded, holding her hands behind her back, “You can see a nice sunset.” She turned her head and looked towards the sea. The afterglow of the setting sun is also about to disappear, and the golden sea has faded in the twilight hours, returning to its original appearance… and it is darker and more turbulent.

　　 The blue ocean during the day is beautiful, the golden ocean at dusk is majestic, but the black ocean at night is terrifying.

　　”Then stay a few more days and see how this place is.” Lulunaka smiled, “If you think this place is good, it doesn’t matter if you live in it for a long time.”

　　 “Will the old man named Apo agree?” Romyona said.

　　 Apo held a pile of hay and passed by here. He seemed to have heard the conversation between Romeo Na and Lulu Naka. “I don’t need my consent.” Apo said, “The host here is Lulunaka, not me. Like you, I am just a guest.”
