137 (7) Blue Moon 13 - Edge and Night by the Forest
After sales. In front of Fa's house.
"Well, thank you again tomorrow"
With the intention of making a rough phase today, I asked Vina-Lou to say a very clear goodbye.
The work of planting in the "Great Tree Pavilion of the South", the commerce of the stalls that were to sneak through the second half of the battle without me and Vina-Lou, and the accident-like incident, could be successfully completed.
The return time is on schedule.
There's more to my chest than usual.
but there wasn't even a look on Vina-Lou's face.
"... you stay at Fa's house, Li-Sudra...?
"Yes, because my parents have asked me to remain at the mercy of my cooking."
Having done her first job, Li-Sudra returns a calm and elegant smile, just as she did before work.
In return for that quiet hesitation, Vina-Lou exhaled in a slice.
"Even I want Asta to take it easy on me... oh, I don't want to go home..."
"Hmmm...... but Mida doesn't live in Luu's main house, does she? Then wouldn't you even be so sick?
Mida is supposed to be asleep in an empty house that was a permanent residence for me and Ai-Fa.
but Vina-Lou shook her head plumply as she rocked her chestnut hair.
"Hey, either way, I'm having dinner at the main house... when I get home, I don't like it, but I have to look at you...? If life goes on like this every day, I might get distracted Wow..."
According to information from Lara-Luu, Mida is doing a pretty healthy new life.
After waking up at the same time as the women and helping the women with their work, with the men, to the woods. After working so neatly for a day, we had dinner at Lew's main house, went home empty, and went to bed.
Mother Meer Ray's review is "It snaps right away, but you treasure it for firewood collection because you have the strength," and Rudd-Lou's review is "How much is it, but don't peel Giva's skin in no time".
So, I don't know anything about how it happened, but apparently it's a lot connected to little kids like Limi-Luu and Sin-Luu's younger brother. If Sin-Lu's house had been bigger, he might have lived there.
I was relieved to hear such a story, but Vina-Lou is still in mourning.
"If this were the case, that poisonous eldest sister would still have been better. Wow... Maybe I should talk to the Rays about whether I can still replace them..."
"Um, Yamil-Ray has already given Mr. Ray, so isn't that difficult?... By the way, um, I'm afraid I've said the same thing over and over, but I think you should also refrain from calling Yamil-Ray your oldest sister, right?
They lost Mr. Sung and were cut off from his family.
Yamil-Ray is no longer anyone's sister, and Mida is nobody's brother. So they were finally allowed to live, so the arrangement should weigh heavily around them too.
Still, I was going to pick quite a few words because Vina-Lou was the opponent who had just achieved an unstable settlement, but I had a grudge. I was blinded and blinded.
"Even at a time like this, Asta notices the other ladies... that's enough... wow... if they feel like dying anywhere, I'll go home..."
You don't think I can find the words to call?
All I could do was drop off Vina-Lou's back, leaving with me, while I felt unspeakable guilt.
"You're the eldest sister in Lew's main house who thinks a lot strange things."
And Li-Sudra, who was silently watching this interaction, smiles at me with a grin.
Truly, it is a clear and beautiful wife. It may have a slightly similar vibe to Sati Ray-Luu.
"Uh, so you'll get to work on the planting. The women of the other houses will be arriving soon, so use Kamado first if you like."
"Thank you. Um, are you sure you want to borrow an iron pot?
"Yes. Which would be a hassle to go back to the house, wouldn't it? Don't hesitate."
Today, Ai-Fa was absent.
By appointment, you should be heading out to a settlement of clans like Ratz and Gaz, a little far from Fa's house, to guide you through the blood drain and demolition.
"Ultimately, how many clans was Fa's house supposed to ask for a hand job?
"The only family that handles it directly is not that far from home. But all eleven of our families agreed with the work we're doing."
Moreover, it is the number of families of the chieftaincy muscle that have been removed.
In all, the family of Moribe is 37, within which the small clan with no blood ties to the chiefly muscle is only 17 - that is, the fact that Luu, Sauti and Zaza have attacked the chiefly muscle has resulted in their families accounting for roughly half of the forest side.
Of those, only seventeen families, eleven gave their endorsement to the house of Fa.
We don't know the exact number of people, but the total number of small families should be about 270, so even the bowl account can reach 170.
Besides, the Lu family with more than a hundred family members is the most positive position, and of the more than 500 people by the woods, 270 people agree with me.
Moreover, the Sauti family has also shown no full endorsement, but a favourable attitude.
All we have to do is encourage Zaza's parents to acknowledge it with results.
"It's great. The house of Fa has given a light of hope to the doomed family"
And Li-Sudra stares at me with a clear eye.
"Among other things, Sudra was particularly doomed. Shame on you, if you hadn't gotten a copper coin for today's job, you would have run out of vegetables in the food pantry within a few days.... Of course, the men should still be chasing Giva in the woods today."
"Oh, did you"
Li-Sudra was buying Aria and Poitan for giving away the price of the day.
Only approximately three meals of aria and poitan are obtained from the three red copper coins. Was Sudra having trouble with her life the harder it was to get it?
"Um... so will you still offer Sudra's house a job in Accommodation Town tomorrow...?
And now he's turning a much more anxious eye.
"Yes, as I'm sure you understood in today's work, it's a rather unfamiliar job for the people by the woods, so you need to take the time to train. So even if we turn our work around to other families, we'd like you to take turns for five or ten days or so."
"So you'll be using me for at least five days. Unless I make a serious mistake."
That being said, Li-Sudra combined her hands in front of her chest.
"I encourage you diligently. Please help yourself."
"Yes. Nice to meet you."
Really well done wife. Sudra's parents are fruit payers, or something. I keep thinking about that.
"Now, prepare to cook, most of the time -" the doorboard slammed from the outside.
"Yes. Who is it?
"... the women of the Din family, two of them"
It is also a deafening family.
You're better at remembering people's names, but it's time to overcapacity. I tried to get to the front door, wondering if there was a family member with that name in this neighborhood.
The hand is grabbed by Li-Sudra.
"Asta at Fa's house. The Din family is the family of the Sung family - now, if you will, the Zaza family."
Family member of the Zaza family?
Then, in keeping with the Zaza family's intentions, it should be a negative view of the business of the accomodation town.
Besides, brave northern clans like Zaza and Dom had clearly revealed their anger at the Sung family's treachery. Other than that, the former family members of the Sung family had not had the opportunity to ascertain what their feelings were for Fa's house.
I stand in front of the doorboard as I nod back to Li-Sudra, who soaked the color of strong vigilance in the quiet.
"What is it for you? I don't even remember ever having a relationship with the Din family."
"Yes. I came up to get the hands-on to prepare dinner. Could you please acknowledge that?
"Is it easy to cook? Does the Zazas know that, too?
"Yes, it is not per se forbidden to be handled"
I see. Are you interested in delicious meals themselves, though you are unwilling to help with the commerce of the lodging town and the preparation of processed giva meats?
Of course, as for this one, welcome is the only reason to reject it.
Still, I cautiously pulled the doorboard open just a little while I grabbed the stick for the candlestick.
As the word goes, two ladies stand.
She's an older, married woman and a girl about ten years old who's still young.
At its feet was an iron pan filled with raw poitains, making sure I didn't see any other shadows, etc., before I opened the doorboard completely.
"Thank you for responding to my sudden visit. I am Jas-din, the sister of Din's parents, and this is my family Thur-din."
"... Tour-din?
I fix my gaze on the girl.
She was a slightly feeble looking girl with brown hair tied in two next to her neck not too long yet.
My eyes as big as that puppy's, with some light in mind, stare back at my face.
"Oh! You're the kid who was Sung's subdivision! Did you enter Din's house without remaining in Sung's settlement?"
"Yes. This daughter's mother was the sister of me and my parents. My sister had already died, so she became Din's family with her father."
That's what I answered. It was an elderly lady named Jas-din.
Half of Sung's houses left Sung's settlement and became a family member. All that remained in the settlement were those who had no close blood to their families.
"Right. Looking good and above all. I'm sorry it's only been three days since the Conference of Parents, but I can't really notice, can I?
Calling him that way, Tour-Din opened his eyes like a hack.
And it makes those big eyes lull with tears.
"Duh, what's wrong? Did I say something wrong?
Thur-din shook his head sideways, puffy.
A large tear falls to the ground with it.
"Asta at Fa's house. This daughter is the one who was the blood of Sung's house who tried to harm you. But in the future, I'm going to lose touch with Sung and live as a Din person. Will you ever forgive this daughter for her former sins?
"Sin? I don't remember anything wrong with Tour-Din."
"But it is true that it was the blood muscle of the Sung family who committed the great sin. Especially for people in Fa's house, there must be a reason to hate the Sung family"
The faces themselves were soft, but very tough eyed women.
It's kind of a development reminiscent of yesterday's interaction with the Rau-Rays.
"... it was the new chiefs who decided not to be guilty of Sung's division, and all parents agreed with the words. Besides, I never felt like hating the people in the division from the start. There's no reason anywhere to reject this Tour-Din."
"Really..."
"Yes. Especially since I spent so much time with this Tour-Din. Of all the people who had lost their energy to live, I thought she would have worked hard."
To my words, Tour-Din makes me weep again.
There was still a little bit of inorganism left on that look from the toddlers, but only those eyes restore a solid glow. That was all, I was so happy to get my chest clogged.
"Tool-din made pots and baked poitains together, so you'd have a day long in your cooking skills. Learn hard and give the rest of the women a hand job."
"... thank you..."
Jas-din puts a flat hand on the head of a girl who gets depressed without force.
The glance remained harsh, but I felt that the trick felt enough love for the oblivion of my late sister.
"Well, let's get started. Oh, this is Li-Sudra from the Sudra family. I think the women of Fou and Run will be here soon."
I stuck around and talked, but I got home on time today, so it's a bad thing if you don't start working on the planting anyway. Drawing two of the dins into the house, I decided to get ready for my job.
"For now, it's a takeaway on how to bake poiton, isn't it? I work here, so call me if you don't know."
"Yes," two people with iron pans cross me.
When I saw the side of that Tour-din, I accidentally raised my voice, "Oh."
Tour-din looks back at me.
"Oh, I'm sorry. Speaking of which, there were no burn marks left at that time. I just thought so.... Good for you, huh?
I wanted to cheer up the dark looking girl, and I giggled at her.
Then - Tool-din, too, gave me a smile back, albeit inexorably.
"At that time, thank you.... I was very pleased with the kindness of you and the red-haired women of the Lew family who worried about me."
"Hey, I was just in a hurry to pour water on you. I'll give Lara-Lew your word, too."
I guess this is how Mida, Yamil-Ray and Tour-Din build up their new lives little by little.
Only about three days have passed since the Conference of Parents, but I still don't think Donda-Lou's ruling was wrong. There are still many parts unknown to the men in the main house, but at least there should be no need for more punishment or anything else for humans who have not sinned other than to raze the woods.
Do the people of the castle understand these current situations - are they willing to understand them? That's where the focus will be first.
With that in mind, I decided to get on with the task of mincing the aria I spread over the board.
◇
"... and then Gazran-Rutim comes back with Dari-Sauti. He explained his meeting with Camus."
It is night.
After dinner by Hamburg as promised, while cleaning up the rest of the planting work, I let Ey-Fa explain that to me.
"They say the Chamber of Commerce enters the woodside from the lodging town through the roads usually used by the Lew family, goes straight south and passes through the settlement of Sauti, then goes into the woods. If you spend half a day trampling through that forest, they're going out to the rocks. It seems to take days again to get out of there to the streets, but there's no more gibberish on the rocks around there, and it's outside the territory for the people by the woods. So you wanted the Sauties to take you through the woods on your first day."
"Uhm."
"But there's a fair distance from the Inn Town to the settlement of Sauti in the first place, so even if the Chamber of Commerce leaves first thing in the morning, it's going to be dusk by the time we get through the woods. So, it seems dangerous to go through the woods at night and back to the settlement, so it seems that the guiding person also has to reveal the night on the rocks with the people of the Chamber of Commerce, and Dali-Souti had a slack in that regard." What a troublesome job the Sung family took on, "he said." I was already angry. "
"Uhm."
"The Sung family apparently tay-sung - no, they were going to push that job on one of the tays, but for half a day, they had to avoid Gibba and march in the back of the woods, so Dari-Sauthi moaned that there would be at least four of them and which men they would need. Well, the Chamber of Commerce has more than 20 people in total, so yes, Gibba shouldn't even attack me. Seriously, it's a huge number of people, so just stumbling into one giva is a must or something. Sounds like a really tough job."
"Uhm."
"... ii-fa, if you're tired of the conversation, be honest with me, will you?
"What? Sticky, no problem."
Saying it that way, Ai-Fa was lying in a more self-depraved outfit than she was last night.
I don't see the look on my face because I'm in a belly position and my loose hair drips over my face. I breathe small as I pour the chopped Myrmu and Aria into the skin bag with the fruit liquor.
"Well, that's why they ended their meeting with Camus without a thing. It was very interesting to see what Gazran-Rutim felt, but so far all I could ask was' you're a very strange person '. Dari-Sutty says," I don't like people in the capital after all. "
"Uhm."
"So, the day after tomorrow, the job is left to the Sauti family, and it's over. Once the three chiefs return to their settlements, they will compile their views on the request from Castle Genos with the heads of each family. There are six men in Sung's settlement, which men remain as watchdogs, but I wonder if this finally separates them."
"Uhm."
"... that's all the reports from me. Thank you for listening."
"It doesn't matter. I've been listening appropriately to stories that might cause headaches."
With one cheek stuck to the cloth, Ai-Fa said so in an unheeded voice.
"The chiefs, too, have their heads fully troubled. I'm all over my job."
"Um, were you heading out to Rats' house today?
"Uhm. The family of Rats and the men of Gaz were also coming.... more tired than yesterday"
"Hmm. But guys, you picked up Ey-Fa with pleasure, didn't you?
"I was uncomfortable, even if it was pleasant over there," the voice of Ey-Fa sounds grumpy.
It doesn't look good at an angle, but I think it's probably keeping my lips together.
"Besides, one of the Rats' men suddenly offered me a bride."
"Hey, what?
"Then even Gaz's men said the same thing, and it became a grasping commotion, not knowing it. The angry Rats' parents put the spot away, but the edge of Rats and Gaz was about to get wrecked."
"Oh, that was tough.... So those two gave up exactly?
"... if I was again injured and couldn't fulfill the hunter's job, I would have missed another thought or something. I couldn't help but yell at you if you wanted me to take the deep hand.... It was a totally unpleasant act"
When I finally finished the planting, I washed my hands with water from the water bottle and rushed to EY-FA.
"Weren't those men as vicious as Darum-Lou? Nothing like sticking around in the future, huh?
"Ask the person concerned about that. Is that what I know?"
"No, but..."
"That's funny. If you're done with your job, give me your hand."
"Huh? Hands?
I wasn't sure, but for now, just like last night, I put my hands gently flat around the eye-fa temples.
"Uhm," Ai-Fa said in a satisfactory voice, so apparently my judgment wasn't wrong.
Somehow, it feels like even a swollen kitten's throat is stroking.
"I'm tired of just talking to a bunch of people. You can keep working like that in Inn Town a lot.... No, not just you, but the women of Luu are doing the same job, so my feelings are just fragile"
"No, no, it's not like I'm a-fa to despise myself like that, is it? Because humans are unsuitable. Besides, as I said last night, if you take the time, you'll be all right."
"... I want to fulfill my job as a hunter soon"
I'm starting to feel really bad about something.
So I decided to gently stroke Ai-Fa's head.
Sometimes I don't feel like I've had a body blow fight back. I = fa this evening closed my eyelids satisfactorily and didn't even show the sleigh escaping my hand.
"Well, whatever, you've got a few more days of patience. As long as my arms are healed, my time with other people can be shorter."
"That's a backwards statement. But today, I'm pretty tired, too. I wonder if you'd like to rest early."
"Uhm."
"Well, go to sleep"
I get up, I turn off the candlestick, and then I lay my body in a slightly further away position than I just did with EY-FA.
Then, for some reason, Ai-Fa snuck up.
"Why do you sleep so far away?
"Huh? No, isn't that the usual sense of distance?
"... I still have a little headache"
And he takes my left wrist, rolled over on his back, and tries to lead him to his temple.
As it turned out, I was screaming at my elbow.
"Ouch, ouch, ouch! Wait a minute! That's a move beyond the range of motion of a human joint!
"Then I wish I was in the right position."
Impossible posture. Isn't the only way to put your hands on their temples is to face each other at close range?
Well, I didn't see it well and wondered if there were any problems, but when I actually tried it, I never had that many problems.
It's close, the distance.
"You know, parents"
"Funny. I'm getting sleepy now"
Dressed with my palm next to my face and my own palm covered from above it, Ai-Fa quietly closes her eyelids.
The only thing I can count on for my eyes is the moonlight that plugs through the window - but I can normally look at its beautiful face and about the line of my body lying on my side.
(... I knew I was in the mood for a cat)
I know a hundred people don't feel weird about Ai-Fa's side, but nevertheless, it kind of feels like the degree of skinship is increasing with every day I follow.
That's all you admit about me as an uncomfortable family, I guess, so it's a great pleasure in itself - I wonder how I feel about being unnecessarily stirred up.
(... If you were such a beautiful, attractive, upright girl, you'd come out with as much talk about your daughter-in-law)
Staring at Ai-Fa's sleeping face, who began to freshly breathe because of his remarkable sleepiness, I had one thought of that.
(Speaking of which, both men and women talked about being allowed to welcome their daughters and sons by the woods from the age of fifteen. When I thought about it, I-Fa had a bad relationship with the Sung family in the year it became acceptable. Once everyone is in an environment where they can normally bond with Fa's house, it's natural to come out with a house they want for their daughter-in-law, even outside the Lou family)
I don't know, I'm upset.
I don't deserve to welcome the man of this world as my daughter-in-law, etc., but what the hell would happen to me if a man appeared to shoot me in the heart of I-Fa?
It has come to my mind more than once before, and each time it is a question that has been shelved.
(I wonder if that's an impossible wish to stay in this relationship the whole time...)
I decided to close my eyelids, too, sipping down the sighs that were coming up.
In doing so, the body temperature felt from the flat of my hand and the scent drifting from the eye-fa in front of me can be perceived in so many different ways.
Ai-Fa hasn't dealt with 'Gibba's Fruit' for a long time now.
So it shouldn't be so much different from the rest of the women anymore, it should only smell like a family with a mixture of vanilla and meat - but still, I figured, I - Fa was I - Fa.
I like the smell of Ey-Fa because it is the temperature of Ey-Fa.
It's a shaky fact no more.
While I was thinking that was hard, a relentless sleeper came down on me, too.
I did my first job at the inn, and I even handled the ladies cooking, and in between, I was worried about the end of the woodland - I'm sure I was pretty tired myself. Very quickly, I was falling asleep.
And...
........
How much time has passed since then?
When I realized I was covered in flutter and soft sensations.
Without knowing if I was dreaming, I blurted out my eyes and found the blue eyes glowing like a bobcat there.
Ai-fa was even looking at my nose.
When did it happen, the flat palm on the temple has also been removed.
Um, with a hand that was supposed to be layered on my hand, I-Fa was blocking my mouth.
"Don't talk.... and don't move, Asta."
Whispering in a voice almost inaudible, Ai-Fa leans back even further.
As I tried to wake myself up, I was now grabbed on the shoulder with the opposite hand and pushed back to the floor.
"I'm telling you not to move. Can't you hear me, Asta?
Also whispers.
On my upper body held down in a leaning position, I was dressed like an eye-fa covering from side to side.
Blue eyes are peeking into my eyes in a light that has never been more serious.
The areas touching the palms, arms, chest, etc. of Ey-Fa were unusually hot.
"Nothing to worry about...... do as I say, Asta"
That's what I said - Ai-Fa has furthermore covered himself with me all over his body.
