On the seventh day of business, the curtain was closed with 145 food sales.

Only a few more dozen more minutes would have sold out the remaining five. We couldn't afford to keep our contract with the Lew family, so when the sun reached the midpoint between Jomtien and Sunset, we quickly began our return journey.

As was the case yesterday, "Gibba Burger", which only has sixty meals, sells out two hours ahead of time, so in that free time I asked to buy out the next day's worth of vegetables and exchange copper coins, and once that's done, Lara-Luu and Sheila-Lu will return first. The rest of the time, they still spend collecting firewood.

By the way, the dried meat sold only 800 grams for two chunks.

As a earner, it's only 12 red copper coins, but the original hand is a product that only costs rock salt, so you don't have to give "Pot of Silver" as an example, and depending on how you sell it, it can be quite a force of war.

As such, the business ended without a thing. Milan-Math, who wanted to talk about his contract for next semester, was stuck in the kitchen and had only a daughter on the reception desk who was afraid of the people by the woods, so the story was to be carried over at a later date.

And when the store closed, Late Boy came back to buy 'Meermoo Grill', but he never even looked at me with Camua-Josh.

Somehow - as I get more involved with the Sung family, it feels like I'm getting less involved with the Camus.

Is the Camus, who dared to command Donda-Lou's words, consciously avoiding involvement? Or is there any other intention? Or did you just happen to be such a roundabout... I can't tell if I'm godless.

(Well, was it better than getting your neck stuck in a murmur)

Convince yourself that way and follow your way home in the trio of Ai-Fa and Vina-Lou.

First, we have to stop by Fa's house and carry the necessities.

Specifically, all the ingredients that sleep in the food pantry, as well as everyday items such as dressing, grinding wheels and leather strings, and all the copper coins accumulated so far.

Copper coins ranged to more than sixty white copper coins.

If this white copper coin reaches 100 pieces, I can finally exchange it for "silver coins". Until then, you have to keep this bulky copper coin and carry it with you.

"... you're leaving this house for six days."

Ey-fa snaps with an emotionless voice as she stares at the empty food bin.

It's my second long night out, but of course it must be my first experience for I-Fa.

Load all possible baggage inside the iron pan, and for what you couldn't get in, Ey-Fa carries it using a pull plate. With a little sense of moving, we headed to the settlement of Lou.

◇

"Oh, welcome back!

How long after depositing the knife, Rimi-Lou and Raina-Lou were there to prepare for dinner.

"Eh heh. You really live in a settlement in Luu!

Rimi-Lou, who couldn't even talk too slowly yesterday, laughs at me and I-Fa.

"Yeah. Six days to the parental conference, I'll take care of you.... Is it Hamburg today?

"Yeah! My sister Raina and Limi can make it so well! It's so delicious, I'm not looking forward to it!

Unexpectedly, this is also the smile of Rimi-Lou, who is induced to smile.

And instead, Raina-Lou, who had minced Aria, also laughed a little reluctantly.

"Welcome to Lew's house. Asta's gonna be working here, too, right?

"Yeah. Let me work in the corner"

I've already cleaned up the excess ingredients I brought in from Fa's house in the food bin, so I just decided to get to work on the planting.

Spread large quantities of meat, vegetables and fruit liquor over the workbench.

If it had been, I would have bought the meat from the Lew family today and used it commercially. This is the situation, so I decided to use up the meat from Fa's house first.

Using just over 27 kilos a day should be over by about the day after tomorrow. After that, both commercial and dinner will be covered with meat bought from the Lou family - until the wounds of the Ey-Fa are healed.

Well, and when I took up the Santoku knife, I was called "Asta" by Ai-Fa.

"I'm a little tired. After a little talk with the Ziva lady, I'm going to let her rest in an empty house."

"Okay. Are you okay? Are you having a fever or something?

"It's okay."

Vina-Lou had already pulled up to the house, too, so only me and Limi-Lou and Raina-Lou were to stay there.

The other Kamadu, Nanny Tito Min, is baking Poitan outside.

Until sundown, I'm an hour and a half away.

The job I should do is to make 60 patties, cut out 90 meats, make tarapa sauce, serve flavored vegetables with extra sauce, and make pickled juice.

Last night, the Lew family was a little tricky in preparing dinner, so I had to finish the work, too. Originally, it's not the amount of work that starts at this time and ends before dinner. I'll be borrowing some time after dinner today.

First of all, I decided to carve Aria, too, to create the most laborious patties.

"That's an amazing amount.... Shall I help you when this one is over, Asta?

"No, no, this is my job, so don't forget it"

Aria, a flavoured vegetable used in combination with patties, tarapa sauce, pickled juice and three varieties, is for 30 pieces.

I don't necessarily need to mix flavored vegetables with the patties. All this is because it is my taste. Thirty pieces, superior.

"Ai-fa, I wasn't feeling any better. Is my arm hurting, after all?

Rimi-Lou twinkles worryingly as she sautés Aria in an iron pan, apparently finished chopping that one.

"I wonder. It's day three, so I don't think it hurts that much, but I've never had a bone off either, so I'm not sure."

"... is it too late for dinner?

"No. I don't think we're going to talk about it again especially today. Oh, have you contacted Rutim?

"Yes, by the time Lara returned, Ama Min-Rutim was still there, so I think it's coming from there."

"Well, you're still studying cooking, Ama Min-Rutim."

I looked back at Raina-Lou while I responded, and I found a full grin there and gave it a little bit.

"Duh, what's wrong? Ama Min-Rutim, what's wrong?

"Huh?... what is it?

Raina-Lou is smiling, after all, as she leans her little neck strangely.

It is a huge, happy smile.

"Sister Raina, why are you smiling so hard?," Limi-Luu pointed out, "and indeed Raina-Lu caught a smile and turned bright red.

"Was I, laughing? I'm sorry, it's nothing.... I just enjoyed talking to Asta for the first time..."

It is the first time in four days, even when it comes to hissing.

Even four days before that, it was Raina-Lou who gave us a glimpse of his natural innocence when he broke up. The smile now seemed - really, happy from the bottom of my heart.

"Plus, Mother Meer Ray told me about the Parents' Conference. .. I am truly delighted to be able to help Asta with her work"

"Nice! Why won't Limi let me help you! Rimi wanted to go with everyone."

"You can't do that. There are a lot of violent men in Sung's house. Donda, you can't possibly allow your father to do that, can you?

And Rayna-Lew has turned a blind eye to me.

"We will always protect Asta's body. Whatever the Sung family was up to, they would never let Asta scratch as much hair."

"Oh, thank you," I even carve Aria.

Then Raina-Lou switched his expression quickly again.

Now he looks like he's hung up.

"By the way... what the hell is Yamil-Sung in the Sung family? Sister Vina said it was a bunch of women who were so flashy and looked so beautiful...?

"Yamil-Sun?... In a nutshell, you're a creepy woman. Let me be very honest with you, I feel worse than my youngest brother."

"Really?" said Raina-Lou, smiling again.

Hmmm......

Is it my fault that I feel that the amplitude of my emotions is too large without saying goodbye?

That, too, as soon as Ai-Fa is gone - and they feel it.

(It also hurts my chest to get my emotions hidden like I did before... but you're such an extreme daughter of both kinds)

Well, Raina-Lou and I are going to have to fix our feelings slightly.

Later, Limi-Luu also mingled to a topic without other love, where he left about half of the meat cut out, which combined with a time limit.

Head to the hall where the people of the Lou family flourished, forming themselves in the lower seat just as they did last night.

This evening's dinner will be served with hamburgers and roasted potato soup, aria, chacci and giva meat soup, and a full kilo of Myrmou roasted meat I've served, plus extra tarapa sauce.

Both the hamburger and soup tasted uncalled for.

The skill of the women in the Luu main house seems to be steadily improving every day.

"What, this is all you had left today, Asta?

And while peeking into the teased meat wooden dish of talapa sauce, Rudd-Lou raised his dissatisfied voice.

"Yeah, about half yesterday? Sorry for the halfway amount."

"That's not enough for all of us, then. What do we do?"

"He's a loud kid. Then why don't you just eat as much as you want? So you're the only one complaining."

With a delightful smile, Grandma Tito Min puts up a rud-lu.

Last night was somewhat of an undeniable dinner with a strained feel, but it also seemed to have been alleviated by Yamil-Sung's acceptance of this side of the demand without a single complaint.

Most of all - although it was the same default that no man other than Rudd-Lou would even dust.

Especially these days, Giza-Lou feels quiet.

Originally, I can't read inside, so as far as I'm concerned, I'm not quite a source of concern.

"But teasing Tarapa about the meat you split on Asta feels better than teasing regular meat. Oh, just a little bit more. The taste doesn't have to be too weak."

And Satti Ray-Lu, where he was the companion of Giza-Lu, also came quietly with his mouth.

"Right. The meat was soaked in pickled juice mixed with fruit liquor and aria and myrmu. I taught Sheila-Lou how to make it..."

So I think back to my mother Meer Ray, reminding her of something I need to notify her of early.

"Excuse me. What is it during the meal, but after this I have a bit of work left to do too, so can I talk to you while I'm at it, Meer Ray-Lew?

"Yeah? What?

"It's been ten days since I left the store soon. Then I'd just like to take a day off from the store and have a cooking study group for the Parents' Conference, wouldn't you?

"Hmm? That means you're gonna teach us to cook, right?

"Yes, because what I fed Mida-Sung at the stall was a dish called 'Myrmu Grill', I want you to remember how to make it.... It's not another difficult dish, but I can't take any time at all when I'm in business, so I'm almost done with everything that day."

"I don't care about him. But then, all the women who are going to head out to the Parents' Conference, they're going to have to vacate their bodies, aren't they?

"I'm free for a day, so you can take turns for a few. You have to speak to the women of Rutim."

That's how I turned to Donda-Lou, who was ravishing a hamburger sunk in a wooden dish of soup.

"So, thinking about all that hassle-free time, I think the price to be paid by the Sung family should be divided equally among all the people involved in Kama which turn?

"... what?," Donda-Lou glances loudly.

"You must be the one who took on the joke from the Sung family?

"That's true, but this is not like Rutim's feast. Besides, the women of Lou and Rutim will even take on the job of protecting me, so I think it's worth it."

........

"Besides, I think this is something cool, even if it's just the table job, right? Because we have to cook dinner for over a hundred people while coaching the Sung women who have absolutely no preliminary knowledge. I think the Meer Ray-Lew guys are going to carry just as much hardship as I do. Then the price should be even more even."

Donda-Lou said, "Go on your own," and Meer Ray-Lou smiled bitterly, "You smell like water.

"Is it the house style of Fa's house that smells like water like that? As I said yesterday, you guys are important friends to Lou and Rutim, Asta."

"I'm really glad to hear that. And I myself think that people in Lou and Rutim are very important."

I was embarrassed to say the least, but I honestly decided to state my feelings.

"That's why I want to be in a borrowless relationship with my loved ones, and besides - as a reciprocal being, I want to stand up to the Sung family. It's a little harsh to say, as a compatriot worried about the fate of the woodland."

"It's not very strange," said Tito Min, who sat next to Meer Ray's mother.

"Though you may indeed be born exotic, you are more of a fine forest folk than some Sung family person.... this one, and I know that more and more clearly."

"... thank you, Tito Min-Lu"

Like that, when I answered.

Rimi-Lou said, "Ah!" He gave a sharp voice.

A wooden dish of soup left Ey-Fa's hand rolled onto the floor with every contents he still had about half of it left.

The body of Ey-Fa wobbled like that, so I rushed to support her shoulder.

"I'm sorry... I wasted an important meal..."

"Ai-Fa! You've got a fever!

It was already so hot that I could see it just swept over my nagging shoulder.

Ai-Fa has his right hand on the floor, frowning bitterly.

"... Shall we put the bedding out in Ziva's room," says Mother Meer Ray, sitting back.

"... it doesn't matter," Ai-Fa responded with a squeezing voice.

"I have the Rom leaves, so if you drink it and rest... you will recover soon..."

I looked back at Mother Meer Ray as I supported Ai-Fa's body.

"Excuse me. I'm in the middle of dinner, but excuse me a lot....... Rimi-Lou, there should be Rom leaves in the hunter's clothes of I-Fa, so can you take that?

"Yeah!"

"Ai-Fa, can you walk?

"... um," Ai-Fa wrapped her right arm around my neck.

Grabbing that wrist and supporting Ai-Fa's hips with his other hand, I stood up as slowly as I could.

Raina-Lou, who accompanied Grandma Ziva, is staring at us with a really complicated face.

but it's also not a situation where you can care about such things.

"Excuse me. I'm going to give Ey-Fa a break"

"That sounds better. Rimi, crush Rom's leaves and take it.... Oh, you're still in the middle of eating Asta too. Then I'll take it with you for Ai-Fa, so you stay with Ai-Fa and do it."

"Yes, thank you"

I loaned my shoulder to Ai-Fa and headed to the front door with him.

Ai-Fa didn't seem to be in a position to wear footwear, so he goes outside the house while putting on his own shoes.

So once I let Ai-Fa sit on the ground.

Ai-Fa seemed to have no more power to walk on its own.

"Are you all right? It didn't seem that bad before dinner."

As I said, I still felt like I somehow knew what was causing the fever.

Maybe this is - caused by mental stress.

Thinking about Ai-Fa from day to day, that doesn't seem out of place.

That's why I wanted to keep Ai-Fa out of sight, a little steep.

Perhaps because it was the other person who would have liked to see him so weakened that I - Fa - would have repelled him above all else.

"... that's really impudent," he snaps with the voices that Ai-Fa has lost his power.

"That's not true," I muddled that forehead sweat with my palm.

"I must have had a fever that hit me back because I was injured and I thought too much about everything. You really don't like using your head, do you?"

I = fa wrapped her lips in dissatisfaction as she brought them to my chest.

"Fine, let's hurry to the temporary inn... I don't want Limi-Lu to look like this..."

"Right. Well, then, just be patient."

I put my left hand on Ai-Fa's back, my right hand behind my knees.

Then, in my heart, I hang up with "Se's," and then I get up twitchy.

"Hmm, I knew it was pretty good, this is"

It's me and Ai-Fa with little difference in height.

Given the density of the muscles and bones, even the weight wouldn't make a big difference.

I just held him like this, and his arms and legs were going to tremble plumply.

"... what are you doing, you?

While Gunnya and I had my head on my shoulder, I was a princess. An eye-fa held up in this form stares at me with a slightly blurred eye.

"What, are you rushing to the temporary inn? Then we'll have to do this."

It would have been easier if I hadn't injured my left arm. From the main house in Lew to the empty house, it's just a few dozen meters. About that, let's do our best.

I step out carefully to make sure I don't drop Ai-Fa's body, even if I'm wrong.

"... This is getting worse and worse, isn't it my fault...?

"It's not a bad idea. It's the family that helps each other when you're in trouble, right?... I don't even want to see you get stuck by other men, no matter what."

I go under the moonlight as soon as I sweat my whole body.

If I hadn't been trained in my daily hauling work, I might have needed a break along the way.

"Get some rest and get better soon. I need you, Ai-Fa.... I can do my best because you're here."

"... how about that... now you feel more alive as a legitimate forestside people than I do...?

"That's never gonna happen."

After all, were you worried about such a thing?

From day to day, it was like that.

"I think you're just not comfortable relying on other people for nothing to do with the people at the woods. So I've been able to survive the last two years, so there's nothing to be ashamed of."

........

"I didn't have that strength. It was a normal day for people to rely on me or rely on me.... a long time ago, I made a statement that I didn't feel comfortable relying on my family."

But I don't think there's any contradiction in what you're saying.

I guess that's the kind of person that made me a poor discerner of "sweetness" and "reliance".

And also, I think the i-fa is the opposite of me - too tough to rely on someone else to be a bad person.

It's the exact opposite, but it's probably me and Ai-Fa between something similar somewhere.

"I'm sure I can't live like you, and you can't live like me either"

I'm losing a lot of breath, but still I could laugh at Ai-Fa.

"Then I hope you can make up for what you're missing and live with it, right?... If I could do that with you, I'd be more than happy."

"... when the fever is rising, don't say the little hard things..."

Finally, Ai-Fa hit my head on my cheek.

Keep pushing your hot forehead tight and tight.

"Ouch. Ouch.... Well, in short, I'm talking about how inexhaustible it is to be of service to you. You don't usually need my help, you know."

"... make it, you're a liar, you are..."

With a voice that doesn't seem to have much proper consciousness anymore, I = fa snaps.

"... it is I who need your presence... so all the time..."

The last one, I couldn't hear you.

So I decided to sneak up on my feelings.

"Let's stay together forever, Ai-Fa"
