As we were banqueting, a new figure approached us.If you think of anyone, it's Dodd.

"Hey, Rutim's parents. I've been talking to the same person all along, so I was wondering if I could swap places with this person."

"I understand. Should we move?"

"Oh, I'm sorry to bother our guests."

And Dodd smiled like a dog.He was greeted at lunch, but since then he and his brother have looked very happy.

That is why the faces of Rutim moved to the rug of Dari-Sauti and the others.Instead, Diga, Dodd, and the Dom family's parents came.

"Lem-Dom. Shouldn't you be there?"

When the head of the branch called out like that, Lem-Dom looked a little worried.

"I haven't talked enough with either Ei Fa or the eldest yet... well, that's fine.I'm not just a guest, I think I should deepen my ties with Rutim's people. "

"Mm-hmm. Especially between people at home, we should deepen our bonds.They both lived in the same house because they were blood bonds. "

"Hmm. Morn-Rutim has been in the Dom settlement for about a year."

Lem-Dom honestly moved his seat while leaving such a discarded dialogue.

The head of the branch, a big man like Dick-dom, sits down with Digga and Dodd.

"Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm not familiar with guests at all, but were there any inconveniences?"

"No, not at all. The food is delicious and there's nothing to say."

Ludo Lu responds with a cheerful smile.

"You're a good hunter, too.You must be the brave man to carry the cargo, right?I couldn't join the force comparison because of the eldest's care, but at the Lou Harvest Festival, I would definitely be challenged. "

"Hmm. Does the Lou Harvest Festival compare power in the aftermath of the feast?I don't think the people of Rutim said that. "

"Until now, not much. But I'm sure my parents will forgive me because the heads of my branches are getting hot too."

That must be the hunter Digdo-Lou.The Harvest Festival of Lou's bloodline is now approaching.And in return for the other day, the people of Dom were invited.

"I'm looking forward to comparing the power of the brave and well-known Lou blood clan.... was it that day that the people of Fa were invited? "

"Uh-huh. The other day, I was finally allowed to sit down."

"I see... I was no match for Fa's parents at the previous Harvest Festival."

And in the eyes of the parents of the branch, the fire of lighting and fighting heart burned.He is also a hunter of the fierce Dom.

"That was a rod draw match, right?Ai Fa is also strong in combat.Anyway, I was able to do it with Dan Rutim. "

"I've heard that too. To be honest, I wasn't good at measuring extra power, so I couldn't believe it at all.... until they beat you in the aftermath of the Harvest Festival. "

"Ah, Ey-Fa has a stick.I mean, everybody except for shipping.Even though it's so thin, it's a big deal. "

And it came to pass after he had spoken alone, that the head of the branch corrected his dwelling.

"... I'm sorry that I'm intrigued by the comparison of strength.Will the eldest be able to live freely? "

"Oh, of course... I'm so happy to be able to deepen my bonds with Dom's people..."

The head of the branch stared at Grandma Ziba's smile with a glowing glance.

After that, she took a deep breath.

"Dom's house is home to fewer old people, so I've never seen anyone older than the eldest.And I'm not good at measuring extra strength... but I think the eldest feels the power of a strong life. "

Hmm? If I let Grandma Jiba pull a stick, she'll probably fly away somewhere.

"That's not what I meant. Young people can feel no less powerful than will and mind."

That's what the head of the branch said in a truthful way.

"It must also be an expression of Lou's strength.I want to dedicate my respect to the eldest who lives longer than anyone else. "

"What an old man I've been living for so long... my family and friends will scold me..."

"Then why don't you say that?Rem Dom was praising Grandma Ziba. "

Lara-Lou snapped her mouth and Ai-Fa nodded silently.

Grandma Jiba smiles very happy.

"The ladies are so busy with their work, I'm sorry to say that they can only deal with people like us who don't love each other.... you should tell me something, too. "

"Ah, oh, there's so much to tell."

Diga laughed shyly and stared at us.Eventually, the eyes are set on Grandma Jiba.

"Well, I'm glad the eldest looks well.You said you finally had your 87th birthday the other day. It's really awesome. "

"Oh, and I was surprised to hear that Morn-Rutim was the oldest grandson.That's why Morn-Rutim is so kind and smart. "

Previously, both of these names were to be opposed to Grandma Ziba in Lou's settlement.

Grandma Jiba looked back at the diggers with the same eyes as her grandchildren.

"You guys look good too... Will you come to the Lou Harvest Festival...?"

"Ah, ahh. It's crazy that we're going out without him either...."

"My parents forgave me that seeing Mida-Lou's power would be something to feed me.It's a story. "

"I see... he's looking forward to the Harvest Festival more and more..."

When Grandma Gibba answered like that, Diga and Dodd instantly moisturized their eyes.When I met Grandma Ziva before, they both wept at her sweet words and eyes.

"At this harvest festival, we invited ten members of Rutim's family, so we were invited to the same number.I want to get to know Lou's harvest festival. "

And finally, the parents of the branch end up in a corner.I'm sure Dom is not only courageous, but also polite because he values his habits.Few of them are still examples, but they seem quite different in temperament from Zaza and Jean.

And there you will find new dishes.This time, it was a spicy stir-fried dish made with maromaro chit-pickled fish and soy sauce.

Aria, Onda, Ma Pra, Nenon and Bunashimejimodoki are used to make Gibba rose meat, which is fragrant and finished with murmur and kel roots.Powerful and appetizing.

"... I'm going to eat this on the other rug.It is a dish made with the delicacies of the Ladies of Rutim.This dish uses ingredients bought from a land called Geld, right? "

"Yes, it's used in condiments, not ingredients."

The cooking came out, and finally it was my turn to speak.

However, the head of the subdivision said, "Chomiryu..."

"Seasonings are like tau oil and miso.They were used in the northern settlements, right? "

"Oh, I see. That's why it's so unfamiliar.I was terribly surprised when I used something like tau oil or miso. "

"Yes, seasoning is the role of seasoning.Don't you like this dish? "

"No, it was delicious. Would it be possible for us to cook this dish ourselves, hoping for Tour-din?"

"Yes, there are many similar dishes.Tour-din is also learning how to make new ingredients. "

This dish, which is a direct tradition of Reina-Lou, was also an impeccable flavour.It's a familiar flavor for me because the original pot meat I taught is the prototype.

"But it is only once or twice a month that we can invite Tour-Din to the northern settlement.Besides, he says he won't put up with all the trouble on Tour-Din................................................................................. "

No, I've never heard of it.

"I see. I've already learned about the northern settlements, so there's nothing wrong with me talking.Soon we'll be renting out our family with Din and Lid and hoping to get the job done.Then this person will have the opportunity to visit Fa's house, so I would like to thank you in advance. "

"Oh, if that's the case, I'd be happy to.I would be grateful if I could deepen my ties with the people of the northern settlements. "

When I returned my wholehearted smile, the head of the subdivision became a wretched sight again.

"As I felt at the Harvest Festival earlier... you've changed a lot, Asta of Fa's house."

"Well, is that so? What time is it compared to?"

"I've only been with you once.They escaped from Dom's settlement to Fa's house. "

With this surprise, Diga was about to clog his throat with food.

"No, what is it? Please, don't pull this crazy story out."

"It's not funny, it's about the sins you committed.You couldn't defeat your former chief, Zatsu-Sung, and escaped the Dom settlement with Tae-sun.That's when we thought Fa's house might be attacked, and we rushed there. "

"Ahh... of course I remember.Well, that's when you rushed to Fa's house. "

"Mm-hmm. That night, you only looked like a man in town.I couldn't help but be angry with Fa's parents about why they welcomed such a person into their family. "

Ai-Fa has a sedentary appearance and listens to the words.Of course, it was clear from the context that he had no resentment at the moment.

"But now you... look, it's different, but you feel like you're the people around the woods.The light in my eyes... I wonder.Strong, light filled eyes. "

"Thank you. It would be an honor to have a fine Dom hunter like you say that."

And when I was right, Ludo Lou said, "I see."

"Asta used to look like a hunter when he was here.Normally, it's funny to say hello. I miss it so much. "

"Hmm. So, was Asta growing up right after that?"

"I don't know. Humans don't change all of a sudden.Aren't you growing up little by little in the last two years or so?If you look at me all the time, I don't know how to do that either! "

"Two years... it's been so long since then."

The branch head snapped like that.

"It will certainly be enough time for humans to grow.Maybe it's just enough time for the apprentice hunter to be alone. "

"Ah. Does that mean that Digger and Dodd have been Dom's family for almost two years?"

"No, it should be a year and eight months since I started training as a hunter.We were watched until we had a fight with the nobles. "

Somewhat annoying, Diga replied in that way.It seems that I was dismissed from my past sins in front of Grandma Jiba and I was disturbed.

"Wow, a year and eight months.You remember a lot of things. "

"That's right, because we've been wondering if we could get some decent power by the end of two years."

Dodd, who was more disturbing than Diga, replied.

"For the first few months, I gave up on the idea that I would rot in the woods... but now I'm confident that I haven't lost to other apprentices.Four months later, I'll try to get rid of Gibba myself. "

"Hmm. Well, I guess you guys are a pretty good apprentice hunter.I'll look forward to the day when I can put a gibbon bone over my head. "

That said, Ludo Lu cheerfully spilled his white teeth.Digga and Dodd laughed as if they were being followed.

And now Lem-Dom is approaching.

"Hey, it's about time the candlestick went out."

"I see. I understand.... then, I will execute the covenant.I want the guests to gather before the ritual fire. "

When I shook my head up, the candlestick I had prepared was about to extinguish.That was the signal to move on to the next ritual.

The people scattered all over the square gathered in front of the fire of the ritual, and Lem-Dom and Zwei-Lutim went to pick up the bride and groom on the floor.

Speaking of which, it was the same as Lou's habit that the two names giving the wedding would spend a little time alone, but I remember that it was the elderly women who went to pick it up.I was reminded once again that Dom and Rutim's habits were mixed up here.

The two names who came down from Yagura, along with the young attendants, bypassed the fire of the ritual and stood in front of us.

For Lou's feast, special banquet dishes are served here - Gazran-Lutim stepped in front of both names instead of just the turn.

Morn-Rutim is guided by Zwei-Lutim and Lem-Dom, and is distanced from them.

Against the backdrop of the ritual fire, Dick-dom and Gazran-Lutim confronted each other.At the same time, the people of Dom start chanting heavily again.

Dick Dom grabbed Gazran-Lutim when I was staring at what was going to happen.

Gazran-Luthim didn't look surprised and put his hand on his opponent's arm and shoulder.

But Gazran-Lutim was pushed down on the spot without resistance.

Gazran-Lutim slowly rises up and falls back as the animals whirl their voices.

Then Morn-Rutim and Lem-Dom entered before the fire of the ritual.

Just like the other Dick-domes, they face each other on the spot.

Morn-Rutim laid his head deep in front of Lem-Dom, crossing his hands in front of his chest.

Lem-Dom takes off the crown of grass from Morn-Rutim's head with her majestic hand.But before Vale lost his fasteners and flew into the wind, there was a flower crown that Lem-Dom had hidden.

When Lem-Dom raises the grass crown left in his hand, he throws it into the fire of the ritual.

The chanting echoed heavily at the bottom of her belly, and the parents of the branch raised their voices with an unbeatable voice.

"Dom and Rutim have admitted that both names will be your mates!From this night on, Morn-Rutim will become Morn-Rutim-dom and live in this land!Mother forest and all blood!Bless Dick-dom and Morn Rutim-dom even more! "

The chanting was rough and responded to the declaration of the branch head.

And there's something huge approaching.It was a whole roast of guinea pigs, laid on a board of gonumoki leaves.In the corner of the square, it was always grilled.

And when it was brought down before the fire of the ritual by the hand of the hunters, the Ladies of Rutim approached it with a clear step, and cut off the flesh of their backs from it.

The meat on the wooden plate is delivered to the bride and groom via Zwei-Lutim and Rem-Dom.That was tonight's special feast.

Dick-dom and Morn Rutim-dom lifted the wooden plate up once, and then put the meat of the gibba in their mouths.

The chanting was stopped, and instead the cheers were raised.

Dick-Dom, looking down at the bride, seemed to have smiled at her face for the first time.

"The ritual of the covenant is over!A feast for the two of you! "

They were guided to the rug, surrounded by a large family.

Your main family is being pulled by you too.The solemn ceremony was finally over and the joy was shared in the same place.

"Oh, I'm glad the ceremony's over.... what kind of ritual did Dick Dom and Gazran-Lutim combine? "

"As you can see, it was a ritual that showed whether Rutim would forgive this wedding.If I hadn't forgiven the wedding, I wonder if Gazran-Lutim would have defeated Dick Dom. "

"So the bride won't get the flower crown if the wedding isn't allowed?I don't think I'd be able to stand breaking up after I've been able to carry out this ritual. "

"In the northern settlements, it would be a custom to strictly determine the correctness of the wedding."

While saying that, Ey-Fa peeked into my face.

More beautiful than anyone else, you can smile gently.

"... you're not crying today."

"Huh? Oh, yeah. Of course, my chest is full of emotion."

"That's fine. There's no reason to cry at an extra wedding."

"Even if I say that, I might cry at Limi Lou's wedding."

So when I was kicked in the leg by Ey-Fa, some figures approached.Dari-Sauti and the other two.

"In the meantime, the ceremony seems to be over.We should stay away for a while. "

"Hmm. First of all, the blood should share the joy."

After answering like that, Ey-Fa leaned his neck downwards.

"By the way, what happened to Vera's next sister?Could it have broken down somewhere? "

She hid half of it in Dari-Sauti's big body.

The answer "no" heard from the shadow of Dari-Sauti was completely tearful.

"I can't stop crying when I see you two looking happy... I'm sorry.I'll calm you down right away.... "

"No, I don't think we need to apologize."

That said, Ey-Fa looked at Fow's second brother.

My cheeks are burning like a child.When he noticed our gaze, he shook fiercely.

"Dick-dom and Morn Rutim-dom were well prepared.Oh, I want to squeeze my power so they don't have to be ashamed of me. "

"Even if they hear such a word, Ey-Fa and Asta will not find a word to return.It's about Fow and Vella. "

When Dari-Sauti smiled slowly and snuggled his mouth, Fow's second brother said, "Yes!"and turned back to you.

"Oh, what should I do?Show me the way, chief Dali-Sauti! "

"Well, first of all, shouldn't you be Morn Rutim-dom and hope to stay in your settlement?Not to mention a year, but you should be able to determine whether or not you are a man of blood. "

"Can I help you? It seems that only my daughter-in-law, Morn Rutim-Dom, stayed in the Dom settlement there....."

"That would be because Dick Dom was the head of the house.There is no inconvenience for you, the second brother of the branch.... or are you uncomfortable spending time in the village of Vera? "

"No! If that's how you can tell me what I really mean!"

Fow's second brother seemed so excited that he was troubled by the heat.

And Vera's next sister stares at him in tears.

Apparently, it was never in vain for them to come out here.

When I thought like that, Dari-Sauti turned to us with a smile.

"But that's a completely different story from what we want to stay at Fa's house.I think I'll wear it until the Lou Harvest Festival is over, but after that, thank you again, Asta to Ey-Fa. "

"Hmm. That was the deal."

Ai-Fa had a polite look and replied that way.

I can't believe that Ai Fa wanted me to sleep in that shadow, but I was kicked in the leg by Ai Fa again.

"No, what is it? I didn't say anything."

"... I can see what you're thinking."

Eye Fa was laughing just under her eyes, keeping her brilliant expression.

Then, Geol-Zaza and Spira-Zaza's sister Combi approached.

"Ah, you guys were still pulling back.The blood will feel better after a while, so you can have a banquet for a while. "

"Hmm. You're a never-ending bloodline, so that would be a bit awkward."

When Dari-Sauti responded in that way, Geol-Zaza shrugged her shoulders with a smile.

"There's plenty of time.I'll bless you so much later.Before we do that, we should settle down. "

Spira-Zaza slapped his brother in the back.

It turns out that Spira and Zaza have also turned red on the edges of their eyes.Tears seem to have been soaked beautifully.

"Dick Dom was our closest blood relative.How can you be so floating when it's finally a wedding? "

"Isn't it because it is a great day that your heart rises?I can't understand the mood of a man who spills tears on a big day. "

It's kind of a similar interaction between me and Ey-Fa.The difference was that the crying side was slapping the other party.

Zaza's siblings and Dom's siblings were about the same generation.Speaking of which, I've heard that Dick Dom was talking about Spira Zaza and Rem Dom's wedding ceremony with Geor Zaza.It must have been a friendly childhood habit.

"Over there, even Jean's parents were crying.It's hard for me to believe that a hunter with that much power would burst into tears. "

"Since Jean's parents were deeply attached to Dick Dom and his father, there's nothing strange about it.I'm sure he was as kind as my son to Dick Dom, who lost his father sooner.It should be the same thing as the chief graph of our father. "

"Hmm. Then we should have a celebratory feast together."

With a cheerful face, Geol-Zaza said so.

"There are only two people invited here, Zaza and Jean.This won't be enough.Morn-Rutim - No, Morn-Rutim Dom will soon be able to meet all the bloodlines at the Harvest Festival.Let's celebrate Dick-dom. "

"It's... I'm sure it's what everyone wants... but it's only the blood between Dom and Rutim."

"Whoever it is, it doesn't matter.Because our precious blood, Dick Dom, has given us a wedding, is that a big deal?I never thought celebrating it would be a sin. "

Saying that, Geol-Zaza turned his back on us.

"Well, it's the chiefs who decide everything... but in that case, I'm not going to invite guests.I want people who are not blood people to be left alone at home. "

"Hmm. That sounds like a strange idea to you."

In an unusual but joking tone, Geol-Zaza laughed.

After all, Ey-Fa and Geol-Zaza are well awakened.

And I did the same thing.

Looking back at the rug, Dick-dom and Morn Rutim-dom seemed to be surrounded by their loved ones and enjoying a joyful day only once in their lives.
