It is that night.

Even that night, Ai-Fa was in an extremely good mood.

Needless to say why you're in a good mood. Because Brave and I were able to perform satisfactory work today.

The handiwork from the Lou family was over two days ago. Since yesterday, Ai-Fa has only entered the woods with Brave as her partner.

Neither did the period during which he was working on hunter's work with the people of Rudd-Lou and Fou and Sudra seem to have created the kind of stress he had when he was in the Ravitz family, but after all, it seems that Ai-Fa is best able to move easily. And Brave's addition there never seemed to impair the lightness of I-Fa.

"Thanks to Brave again today, I was able to tailor two givahs, one of which failed to drain blood, but it would be enough harvest first"

Ai-fa was eating my prepared supper, saying so.

Brave is earthbound, grabbing Gibba's giant shin bones. I've already eaten all the meat I put on a large plate. The meat was meat that failed to drain blood, but there seemed to be nothing inconvenient for Brave to eat.

"This is going to starve more and more Mundts who rely on rotten meat. Gibba's meat dumped in the woods must have been drastically reduced in less than a year."

"Yeah. You'd be worried if it affected your ecosystem."

"... you want me to?

"It's like I-Fa said. Wouldn't it be tough if a hungry Mundt attacked people?

"I wonder if the hungry Mundt will travel to the back of the woods, not people. With us, you can only put your legs up to where you can go back in half a day, so deep in the woods, there's got to be as many Giva remains rolling around."

Mundt, the meat-eater, doesn't have the power to hunt Gibba himself. Thinking about it, until the forest people migrated eighty years ago, I guess I could only lay down the remains of the naturally dead Gibba and other beasts. Then, rather, it may have been that for the past eighty years, the people by the woods had struck down large quantities of unwanted meat and provided excessive food to the Mundts.

"So you can also think of the present as the right figure to have... yeah, it's hard to talk about this. Perhaps the most correct thing to do is to keep the woods in mind."

"Exactly. The people of the woods, Gibba and Mundt are the same children of the woods."

That's how I soaked Giva Soup, Ai-Fa, has stared at me with a pretty ugly face.

"Nevertheless, you have a face that doesn't float. You still care about one of Yun-Sudra and the others?

"Yeah, that's fair. All this time, we're not human resources, are we?

"Would it? I've already said no to dowry stories from Joo-Run, and you weren't brought dowry stories from Yun-Sudra in the first place. If you think of Yun-Sudra's mood, of course it will be... but still, I think this is about Run and Sudra."

Is that what will happen after all, in the light of forestside values and ethics?

But still, I wasn't going to be able to cut myself off from any other HR.

"Well, I don't know what's going on, so you're going to do extra. How could Yun-Sudra have snapped about Joo-Run?

"I don't know.... Didn't Joo-Run do something better than that?

"I wonder if so. I didn't seem like a person to do that."

"I don't know. Whatever, you're a freak who wants to welcome me to his wife."

This should have given rise to some room for disagreement.

"Well, I don't care if you leave me out of it, because Darum-Lou, Lau-Ray, and Gaz and Ratz's men were also talking about wanting to daughter-in-law Ai-Fa. Isn't that all you can do to treat me like a freak?

"... don't steam back to old stories like that"

"But is it true?

Ai-Fa got her hands on the floor and slapped me in the head until she bothered to get on with it. Just a little bit, my cheeks are turning red.

"Anyway, that one named Joo-Run was a man somewhere blurry. If it's the one, say something to the woodland lesson to piss Yun-Sudra off.... In the first place, he would admit he was wrong?

"Yeah, it seems so."

"Then it was his fault. Fou and Lan's family believe the words and abandon their obsession."

But Yun-Sudra's failure to talk about the circumstances, who has slapped the men of the rest of his family, would also, after all, be a misguided act to the Forestside lesson. Maybe Joo-Lan is just covering Yun-Sudra... but it also seemed undeniable that obsession would arise.

(Speaking of which, Joo-Run also received a lot of cheer during the harvest festival. My power as a hunter is impeccable, I'd rather be neat looking, besides being young and unmarried... I'm sure I was popular with Fou and Run)

In doing so, Yun-Sudra may have an unnecessarily harsh eye.

Thinking that way, when I sighed - the doorboard on the front door was knocked.

"I'm Joo-Run from Run's house. Is there an eye-fa for the parents?

I didn't think so, I almost dropped a wooden plate.

Ai-Fa looks grumpy all at once, shaking her head.

"What is it during dinner? You don't know how to be polite."

Ai-Fa approached the doorboard with a big crotch.

I stroke Brave's or Gill's head, which raises his face in wonder, and then pulls through.

"I'm sorry for the night. I need to talk to you, okay?

"... this was in the middle of dinner."

"What, were you still in the middle of dinner? I beg your pardon."

It was a crackling, Joo-Run voice for me. Even if the house is nearby, there aren't that many opportunities for me to face the rest of the men.

"So can we wait for dinner to be over? Once we get back home, it's going to hurt us all the more."

"... it's up to you to wait, but where are you willing to wait?

"It can be anywhere. If you'll excuse me, I'll wait outside."

Ai-Fa shrugged her head again before pulling herself "in".

"Thank you," Joo-Run said, bowing his head before coming up into the earth.

"Oh, is the hound in the middle of dinner, too? This is another stunning giva bone."

Joo-Run seemed to laugh at Brave as he unraveled his sandal belt.

Brave is shaking his tail flashing as he grabs Gibba's shin.

"Well, I'm sorry to bother you. .. Ah, Asta, it's a pleasure."

"Yeah, it's a hiccup, Joo-Run"

Joo-Run, who deposited a knife with Ai-Fa, walks up to the hall.

He is a young man who is quite long and draped his bearded hair to his shoulders. He is only sixteen years old and has quite a neat eyebrow. He was a person with a really cool atmosphere, a bit unusual by the woods.

"Then let me wait for you here. Whatever it is for me, keep eating."

"Are you sitting in such a place? Fine, I'll run some errands. In the meantime, let us proceed with our meals"

Looking blatantly grumpy, Ai-Fa glared somewhat at at her original position. And let the meal, which had been interrupted as declared, resume.

Joo-Run was behind me, so I moved my seat so I could see him. You can't keep eating while turning your back on your guests.

Joo-Lan was also wearing an agura, but his spine is tingling. That's how he began to speak with a calm face like he was on the verge of smiling.

"Then I'm sorry, but let me start talking.... Have you already heard about Yun-Sudra and me?

"Hmm. I hear you did something wrong and Yun-Sudra slapped you."

"Yes. So I heard this morning that even when I was working at Fa's house, the women of Fou and Run were in such a state that they couldn't speak with Yun-Sudra.... Is that a fact, Asta?

"Yeah. In the meantime, you all seemed to be doing it at random"

"Is that still true? I'm the one who's bad, but I don't talk about the situation, so I guess everyone can't decide how to deal with Yun-Sudra.... To Yun-Sudra really, I've done something I'm sorry for"

That's how Joo-Run fisted himself on the floor and rode himself out just a little bit.

"I = fa. I want to expose the situation to everyone in the settlement. Can you forgive me for that?

"Why should I forgive such a story?

"That's because it's about me and Ai-Fa."

Finally, it's a swordswallowing story.

Ey-Fa, who was chewing on the meat of a cold shaved salad, swallowed it and then twisted Joo-Run's face.

"It's something I hear funny. There doesn't seem to be that many stories about you and me."

"Yes. I did a really stupid imitation. You're going to piss Yun-Sudra off so much, and I sincerely regret what I did. So I want you to know that she's not guilty of anything."

"I will have had enough of the notoriety. What disrespect did you do to Yun-Sudra?

"Yes.... I told Yun-Sudra that I once missed Ai-Fa and have not yet completely abandoned that feeling"

That was a well-anticipated story.

But after all, that doesn't surprise me. Especially since we haven't abandoned our feelings yet... it wasn't a laughable story for us either.

"... you mean Yun-Sudra messed up her feelings enough to beat you up with it?

That's what Ey-Fa asked, looking so disgusted.

Joo-Run shook his head sideways saying "no".

"I stepped off the road after that. I held my hand to Yun-Sudra to achieve your feelings."

"How do you feel?

"Yes. Yun-Sudra was thinking about Asta, wasn't he?

Now I'm about to flip a wooden dish.

"Hey, wait a minute! Where did that come from? No way, wouldn't Yun-Sudra have told that story?

"Yes. I had heard the ladies in my family rumor that way before. I'm sure Yun-Sudra is pushing and killing his feelings to avoid Asta's annoyance," he said.

I was going to be blinded.

In the meantime, Ai-Fa gives an angry voice, "Hey".

"So you told Yun-Sudra that you wanted to hold your hand to fulfill your feelings, etc.?

"Yes."

"I assume you were in a position to determine if you should welcome Yun-Sudra to your daughter-in-law? Did you bring such a story to Yun-Sudra?

"Yes. I've done a really stupid imitation"

"Do I have to imitate you stupid! What are you thinking!?

Ai-Fa struck down the floor with fists.

Wooden dish soup shakes.

"Can such imitation be tolerated by the forest! No matter how many times you get slapped, you deserve it! If you'll forgive me, I'll want to punch you in the face too!

"I'm reflecting. Even I want to beat the crap out of myself."

Joo-Run, who had put his spine up until just now, was snugly dropping his shoulder.

"When my parents told me not to determine if Yun-Sudra was the woman my partner deserved, I set foot on the wrong path. It was a bit of a guide in the woods that Yun-Sudra was matched by himself and Asta who were concerned about Ai-Fa... so you got possessed by such a stupid idea."

"What is the guide of the forest! Are you going to pollute my mother's forest too!?

"Excuse me. Yun-Sudra slapped me on the cheek and I found out how stupid an idea I was. Now I don't know why I thought that was the right idea."

Joo-Run, who looked like a longer-looking, more splendid young man than I did, had been quiet as if he were a puppy hit by rain.

But Ai-Fa's anger doesn't subside.

"It's getting incredible to me that people like you are even my countrymen by the woods! I'm sorry for the runners, but it's been so long since Digga and Dodd and the others were villains that I've been so angry with the people by the woods!

"... Yes. I sincerely regret it."

"It doesn't make sense to say those words to me! What you should be frightened of is Yun-Sudra and the parents of Sudra and Run!

"A, ai-fa, I know how you feel, but let's just calm down"

Ey-fa was revealing the fury of anger, as in a cat with his whole body's hair upside down. Blue eyes glow shittily, and they are still powerful enough to beat Joo-Run to death.

"So Joo-Run wanted to expose the situation to everyone. If you do, do you mean you wanted the forgiveness of Ey-Fa because you even know that you were suspicious of Ey-Fa?

"Yes, and it doesn't seem to tell the story correctly unless it also reveals that Yun-Sudra had concerns about Asta"

That's for sure, maybe you're right.

But what about me, anyway, for Yun-Sudra? She kept her mouth shut, even when she was awkward with the folks of Fou and Run.

"But the Ladies of the Run also noticed about Yun-Sudra's mood, so I guess there's no problem with that. More than that, I think I should have forgiveness for Ai-Fa and Asta -"

"Wait a minute! It's not a good idea to second Yun-Sudra's feelings there!

I was about to yell at him again, so I decided to raise my voice first.

"In other words, there will be no forgiveness or no forgiveness when it comes to us. We're just in the position that even if we were suspicious, we couldn't live up to that feeling, so it's a little embarrassing who knows what. But Yun-Sudra wouldn't be, would she?

"Yes. But the Ladies of the Run were noticing, so even the Ladies of Sudra and Fou are noticing?

"Imagine without any certainty and be informed that it was true. Then the implications would change completely, wouldn't they? In the first place, why didn't you tell us what happened last night?

"That's because... Yun-Sudra insisted that we shouldn't talk,"

"Look, then you have to respect that feeling! You should have a good discussion with Yun-Sudra and decide whether or not to tell everyone."

"Ha... maybe you're right indeed"

It was an unreliable response.

Ai-Fa is no longer in a mid-waist position with angry shapes.

"After all, won't this guy wake up without hitting him with a few more rounds? Even if I beat him up, if I tell him what's going on, he won't get caught up with Ran."

"Hey, if you just calm down for a second. If you need to hit him, the head of the run will hit you."

Joo-Lan looked at Ai-Fa with a very sad eye.

"... I've pissed off Ai-Fa so much"

"So! That's the attitude I care most about eating! The first thing you should be guided through is Yun-Sudra's mood, not mine! You should apologize to Yun-Sudra as many times as you want to if you have a hippo who wants my complexion!

"... right. I'm disgusted with my immaturity to make it."

Joo-Lan closed his eyes hard before staring back at Ai-Fa as he had decided to.

"Ai-fa, there's only one thing I need you to do,"

"It's weird! I'm not listening to your wishes!

"Still, please. I have to break my feelings for you... and I just want you to tell me one thing."

Enduring the rage of I-Fa, Joo-Lan said resolutely.

"Ey-fa, who the hell is your thinker?

"... what?

"Didn't you already say you had someone in mind when I said one day I wanted to welcome Ai-Fa to my wife? Even if we lose our power as hunters and live as women, we've already decided who we should be with.. I want you to tell me who it is."

I almost collapsed while sitting down.

Of course I hear within that day that Ai-Fa and Joo-Run talked about getting in that far. but nevertheless he seemed to have no idea who the thinker of Ai-Fa was.

"I'm sure that's an incomparable hunter to me and others. It's natural, because it's so manly that I'm recognized by I-Fa. If you know who it is and you know the difference between you and me, I think I can get rid of this stupid obsession completely."

........

"Is that, after all, the hunter of the Lew family? Or is it the hunter of the northern clan? If you are Ai-Fa, you are connected to different clans -"

"Weird!" said Ai-Fa, severing Joo-Run's words.

The shoulder is shaking with anger.

"Why should I do anything to make you feel better?" All I can tell you is that there can never be a future heist, such as welcoming a big lie like you to your partner! You use your power to cut off paranoia! If you can't do that, you don't deserve to name the people by the woods!

Joo-Lan glanced at himself as if he had been barely pressured by the temper of Ai-Fa.

And eventually I bow my head deeply, as if I had used that recoil.

"Okay. I am ashamed of my uncertainty. From now on, we will squeeze our strength so that we can behave as the people of the woods who deserve us."

"You found out! If you're feeling better, get out of here!

"Yes. I'm leaving. Yun-Sudra and I would like to speak first thing tomorrow morning"

Joo-Run stood up and bowed his head again.

"Now if you'll excuse me.... Can you give me my sword back?

Ai-Fa threw the sword of Joo-Run, which he had turned into a scythe, at his strength.

Joo-Run catches it lightly without panicking.

"... just one last thing. I'm the only one who's stupid, so please stay the same as Run."

So Jou-Ran removed himself, and left Fa's house.

Ai-Fa slightly crossed the hall and hung it back, raising and lowering her shoulders on the spot for a while. Brave and Gill, after all, have a decent face and look up to such an eye-fa.

"That was a hell of a story. More than I expected, Joo-Run was a freak."

"Can you say such a simple word! That's enough to make me wonder if he's really a born man by the woods!

As he stood in front of the doorboard, Ai-Fa raised a rough voice.

I'm turning my back on this one, so I don't know what look you're wearing.

"Anyway, later, I'll just have to ask you to discuss it with Yun-Sudra. If that doesn't make any sense, I'll talk to Yun-Sudra and help her move in the most desirable direction."

"Hmm. The most important thing is Yun-Sudra's mood."

"Yeah, and don't let the relationship between Sudra and Run get mixed up."

I slammed my exhausted head gently before letting him speak on the back of I-Fa.

"Come on, then. Let's clean up dinner. I'm totally chilled, but I can't leave you behind."

"Uhm......" he responded with a low voice, while Ai-Fa finally returned to the hall.

That's how I saw Ai-Fa in my seat, and I said, "Is that it?" I raise my voice.

"What's the matter, Ai-Fa? Your face is bright red. It's worse than it was earlier."

........

"I know what it's like to be angry. We disappeared, so calm down a little. It's not good for you to raise your blood pressure."

"... sticky, not angry"

While stating so, Ai-Fa began to vigorously stir the stir-fried meat and vegetables that remained on the wood plate.

That's how he stares at me, hiding half his face in a wooden dish.

"It's just that... when you talk about that kind of mood out of someone else's mouth... it's strangely disturbing."

Does that mean that even if we welcome a partner one day, the other person has already decided - the word?

I couldn't stop my own blood from rising above my neck.

"So, but isn't that what we're talking about? I've been telling you that for a long time."

"... and you're blushing too, aren't you"

"Well, that's just the eye-fa thing."

"Do you want me to take responsibility? What a heartless one."

Without trying to grate the wooden plates, Ai-Fa will grudge me.

"... So, what about you?

"Huh? What?

"I haven't had a chance to talk about that lately... but are you feeling the same way?

"Oh, isn't that obvious? You think I look like I've changed my mind, but I look like I've changed my mind?

"... would be nice"

Should I hide my face in a wooden dish, too?

I wasn't expecting firepowder to fly into Fa's house in this way.

But more than that, it's a matter of Yun-Sudra and Joo-Run now. I just had to pray for it first to see if Joo-Lan, who was a far more disturbing person than I expected, could reconcile properly with Yun-Sudra tomorrow morning.
