584 Moribe Parents Meeting ⑥ - The Beginning of Supper
The sun finally sank to the west as we went through the details.
The Conference of Parents was launched, roughly four minutes. At last came the hour of its end.
"There seem to be parts of us that we haven't been able to talk about yet, but so far today, let's just say so. And then I'm going to make time for words to be exchanged among the three chiefs, and I'm going to run messengers to all of you."
That was the closing words, by Dari-Sauti.
I wonder how tired the tenacious parents were, too. All over the sacrificial hall, signs of weak breath were felt.
"Oh, you're finally done. In the meantime, all the stories fit in round and above all"
While stating it that way, Birdu-Fow comes to himself. Both Lyelpham-Sudra and Lan's parents, as well as the men for you, starting with Chim-Sudra, were all staring at me and Ai-Fa with warm eyes.
"It would also be thanks to Birdu-Faw and others that Fa's house was found to have done no wrong. Let me express my sincere gratitude."
"What are you talking about? The Ai-Fas had done the right thing from the beginning. We just saw it through."
A look of the familiar women peered through the entrance and exit when Birdu-Fou replied that way. It is Raina-Lou, a partitioner on the side of the Lou family.
"Dear Parents, Good luck. May I bring you dinner?
"Oh, bring it anytime! I used my head so I'm already hungry!
The first person to answer was Dan-Rutim.
Raina-Lou replies, "I understand," then hides himself.
Soon afterwards, when the other women appeared in their hands with iron pots and basins, they cheered from there. I guess everyone was in the same mood as Dan-Rutim.
Besides that, Tia and Rem-Dom also come into the room. Tia approached us cleverly using crutches while soaking between the parents.
"Asta, you're finally done discussing this! Will you be allowed to be with me during the meal?
"Yeah, you've kept me waiting a long time"
"It's a woodland lesson, so it's the only way. But I'm so happy to be back by Asta"
Tia sat down next to me laughing more than any more. Because men and women are taught that contact is contraindicated, it is a position where the skin touches too much.
"Asta to Ai-Fa, good job. The wild man's daughter did give it back."
Rem-dom, who came a little late, laughs at us as he stands. Its tight face was fine and somewhat glossy.
"That sounds a lot tedious. Were you even encouraging me to do some training?
"Yeah, 'cause you can't waste your time. I asked her for a little help, too."
That said, Lem-Dom breathed colorfully.
"The power of her daughter is astonishing. I couldn't stand a tooth at all, whether it was a stick draw or a tree climb."
"What? Were you interested in comparing power to this one with a broken leg, etc?
"Yep. I = fa 'cause he wasn't interested in comparing the power of target. I didn't force you to do anything, so don't worry."
Tia remained an uncontrolled smile, even when mocked by Ai-Fa.
"Tia moved her body a lot too, so it was fun. I can't wait for the day my leg bones connect."
"When the bones of your legs are connected, I want you to compare the power of combat. Well, I guess I won't be the one to deal with it."
"Tia is fine if the forest chief or Ai-Fa will allow it"
Ai-Fa waved toward Lem-Dom as he bit down his sigh.
"Fine, go back to your bloodline. Until supper is done, it will be a lesson to be with the blood family."
"Yeah, we'll have some fruit wine together after dinner."
By the time Lem-Dom disappeared that way, dinner was perfectly ready.
Nevertheless, the dish of the iron pot is from now on a meal, so only a plate of wood spoons and baked poitan was delivered to us.
"Please wait while we distribute the food"
Four kamados are installed at the wall, so the food is turned from the iron pan placed there. For 77 humans, the number of kamados numbered about thirty, so there seemed to be no lag in the work.
However, since about ten of the Kamadu number are women of the Sung family, after this meal is done, they will return to their respective houses. Tonight the Sung family should have had the same treats ready as these.
"Thank you for waiting! I'm not eating!
And, with a large basin in his hand, Rimi-Lou approached him nicely.
What was on there were the Lew family's prized "Guiba Meat Flavored Grill" and "Cream Stew," as well as "Meat Chatch" without meat potatoes.
To me, that seems like an Ethnic, Western and Japanese champion, but it's a questionable dedication if you try it on other people. Rather, if you try Raina-Lou, it's the thought of bringing joy to people with dishes of different flavours.
Also, none of this is a novel dish for the Fou and Luu bloodlines right next to me. But many of the people outside that circle seemed to raise their voices of surprise.
"Hmm. This sounds like a more elaborate dish than last time."
"Is this white, loose broth Poitan juice? It smells a lot better."
"This dish smells amazing! I sweated before I ate it."
The degree of surprise was how much interaction there was with Fa and Luu - and how much copper coins could usually be put on the ingredients, which should have been very different.
If you are a Gaz or Ratz bloodline, for example, you must have had the experience of mouth-watering any dish because you interact deeply with Fa's house and have no trouble with copper coins. "Smelly Grilled Giva Meat" may be a little unfamiliar, but if it's "Cream Stew" or "Meat Chatch," it should also be handy at Fa's House study group.
After all, the Baym and Ravitz bloodlines do not have the financial power to get their hands on very expensive ingredients, as only a very small number of women have been involved in Fa's house, nor have they joined the task of preparing meat. At Baym's house, I heard it was enough to buy just enough sugar, tau oil, caron milk, etc.
And although Die's house was set to have a lot of copper coins in its hands this past two months, it barely participates in the kind of study group. During the previous period of rest, very limited cooking methods were handled.
Furthermore, Sautti would have had little chance of touching novel ingredients, as he had been handcuffed long ago and had not been involved in any business in town. It was supposed to be a rather painful position in economic terms because of the huge damage done in one of the forest lords.
(Think about it, the next thing Fa, Luu and Fou have fat tongues is the Zaza bloodline. Whatever, I was pulling out Tour-din every time I had a feast)
It seemed like the food was delivered to all the people while I was thinking about it.
So Dan-Rutim said, "Mmm!" I raise my voice.
"Is this the only dish prepared? Now you're going to finish eating before your belly swells!
"This will be a dish prepared by the Luu bloodline. There are only a few places to put dishes, so after you finish eating this, the Zaza and Fou bloodlines are supposed to bring you a dish with them."
When Rayna-Luu responded with a smile, Dan-Rutim also gave a dazzling look.
"So that's half the amount, huh? Hmm, that would be enough!
"You're the most obnoxious bastard. If you left your parents' seat, you'd better get to the bottom of it."
Donda-Lou, the parent and old friend, speaks up on the top of the Buddha. The Chiefs were also part of the circle of their respective blood families.
Yamil Ray sits next to Lough Ray, Sheila Lough sits next to Dalm Lough, and Limi-Lough is definitely pulling Vina-Lough's arm. Perhaps you're struggling to get your sister to sit next to Schmiral. What a smiling sight.
And then I could see Morn-Rutim, ears slapped by Gazran-Rutim, blushing his cheeks as he nodded.
I'm sure they're communicating the results of the Conference of Parents. I decided to let her pray in the shadows that her thoughts would be rewarded.
In anticipation of all the women thus settling under the bloodline, Dali-Souti lifts up his voice for all his last work.
"Let me state once again that it was the blood tribes of Luu, Zaza and Fou and the women of Sung who prepared this evening's supper, and it was the house of Luu and Fa who prepared the ingredients. And yet, all the price was paid by the Lou family as the responsibility of the chieftaincy. Next time, Zaza and Sautti will have to take responsibility for it."
Speaking of which, at the last Conference of Parents, the price of supper had been collected from each family member. I guess the Sung family, which was corrupt about storing copper coins, has long extended to the same imitation.
"From what I hear, all of these dishes served first are sold in the Inn Town. By mouthing these dishes, the people of the city of Inn recognized the value of Gibba's flesh. I want you to enjoy a delicious dish while keeping it in the corner of your head"
After stating so, Dari-Sauti closed his eyelids.
"Give thanks to the blessings of the forest and give thanks to the families of the blood of Luu, Zaza, Fou and Sung, who stood by the fire, to gain life tonight"
Ninety or so people repeat the pre-meal language.
At the same time as finishing it, people took a wooden dish.
In that way again, voices of surprise and inspiration echo from all over.
"Mm-hmm. Tia loves this dish"
and Tia also had a full smile on her cheeks, "Smelly Grilled Giva Meat". Anyway, Tia prefers herbaceous dishes over anything else.
But for the first time, some of the people who mouth this dish were screaming. Many humans are less familiar with Sim's vanilla because it is such a priceless ingredient.
"Uhm, it's hard! This is gonna make my tongue work!
"Oh, my tongue won't hurt this far, even if I grab Myrmu as it is"
"... but for some reason, don't make me want to keep carrying it to my mouth"
By the woods, it is unacceptable to leave meals behind. Taking that lesson backwards, Raina-Lou may have incorporated this exciting dedication.
Besides, I guess for those people, the hardship is suppressed a lot. Compared to the food sold in the lodging town, it felt pretty mild around the mouth.
(Even the ii-fa and luu people had the same reaction the first time they ate chit fruit.... Oh, no, I-Fa accidentally mouthed my share of the spicy, and I was supposed to make a fuss)
There's no one around, like Ey-Fa at that time. This would have also made it possible to expect to gain an understanding of the irritating flavoring.
And it is' cream stew 'and' meat chatch '.
As for this one, I couldn't see any of the people who were raising their voices with accusations.
It is a "cream stew" refined by Rimi-Lou's hands and a "meat chatch" that he has been making for about a year now. Even for me, who can already eat, the completeness of those dishes was impeccable.
"Uhm, that's just the women of the Lou family, you have a lot of arms. Come on, it's enough to make me regret it."
It was the head of Rats who said so a little farther away.
Several of Rats' houses have sent their numbers to study groups, and they have the richness to buy any ingredient. but compared to the Lou family, I guess they really remind me of the difference in cooking techniques.
That must have been the difference that would arise from the presence or absence of kamadoku numbers like Raina-Lou and Sheila-Lou. Not only do they get a clue from me, but they can arrange it for themselves, that's what they are. The technique of cooking should have been dramatically bottomed up on the day I was absent, because the Rayna-Lew and the others were handy to the bloodline.
"Sure, this is delicious. .. but don't worry, it shouldn't discourage you with our dishes"
The women of Fou, who were surrounding the supper together, were whispering to Birdu-Fou. Birdu-Fow is smiling back, "Well."
"You don't have to hang out with the Lew family, but it's comforting to hear those words."
"Yes, thanks to Asta and Tour-Din."
The Tour-din was surrounding Zaza's blood and dinner. Within a conspicuous group of quintessential hunters such as Graf-Zaza and Dick-Dom, a small hindsight trapped in Rem-Dom and Spira-Zaza is hidden.
"Hey, I'm eating a lot -?
And from between me and Ai-Fa, I grew a bit of a red head on.
Ey-Fa, who was just rinsing "Cream Stew," turns a gentle eye to you.
"Was this dish served by Rimi-Lou? It's delicious."
"Hehe, thanks -! Kimmus' bone gala simmered at home and brought it all the way here."
Rimi-Lou smiles, leaning perfectly against Ai-Fa's body. Tia tilted her neck wonderfully as she watched that smile.
"Have you finished eating Rimi-Lou yet? Tia has been scolded for not moving during a meal."
"Yeah! I want to have a chat with Ai-Fa, so I'm in a hurry to eat! I really wanted to sit next to Ai-Fa."
After saying that, Rimi-Lou turned to me.
"Dan Rutim and Lau Ray also said they wanted to have a chat with Asta soon! He said he didn't have enough time for this previous feast, so he was looking forward to today!
"Oh well. I'm so glad you said that."
This one is with the Fou bloodline, and the women have joined it, making it quite a big place. And so the tribe of Lu's blood is a further great place, so that it can be so far apart from each other.
"But that's how Fa's house got along with the rest of his family, isn't it? Gil-Fa would love to!
When Rimi-Lou smiled and said so, Ai-Fa nodded back, "Right."
Lyelpham-Sudra, who kept eating silently, looks back in those words.
"Is Gil-Fa the parent of an earlier generation? I only had a chance to show my face at the Parents' Conference, but that was a fine hunter."
"Oh. Gil-Fa was a hunter with a bottomless power. I can't believe I gave my soul back at such a young age."
When Birdu-Faw hammered him with a strange face, Ai-Fa could flaunt his mouth, "Oh well."
"It would be a great honor to have Lyelpham-Sudra or Birdu Fou say that"
"Oh. I used to have a small bond with Gil-Fa, too. Such a story may be unpleasant to Ai-Fa... as much as I have had occasion to wonder if I was willing to daughter-in-law the women of Fou"
"Hmm. Would that be the story after my mother May returned her soul?
"Before and after that. When I tied the edge with Fa's house, my family already had only Gil-Fa and May-Fa, so I took it upon myself to see if each of them tied the edge of blood with Fou's blood. But Gil-Fa chose to marry May-Fa."
That being said, Birdu-Fow glanced away to see the distance.
"Even though that's how May-Fa returned his soul, I brought up the wedding story. Ai-Fa had already grown up to be thirteen, but if he was as hunter as Gil-Fa, because there were no more women to accept the wedding.... but it was also turned down. Until the day I returned my soul, I was told that I would continue to think only of May-Fa."
"Oh...... if you were my father Gil, you would answer that way"
"Mm-hmm. And Gil-Fa didn't even seem willing to dump Mr. Fa, so I gave up tying the edge of blood. And... I think I've been told about the wedding more than once, and I've lost a lot of my mind."
With the same eye on him, Birdu-Fow lowered his gaze.
"And even Gil-Fa returned his soul...... I completely severed my ties to Fa's house by the fact that I - Fa - had an evil bond with the Sung family. I am still ashamed of myself that I could only choose such a path"
"What are you talking about? The Sung family was atrocious at the time, and Birdu-Fow was responsible for the fate of numerous blood clans. There must have been nothing wrong with Birdu-Fow's judgment."
After stating so, Ai-Fa nodded "Oh".
"Maybe you care what Ravitz's parents say? I couldn't get along well with the rest of my family because I or my father Gil were bigots. Nothing's like Birdu-Fow cares."
"No, everyone knows how good a hunter Gil-Fa was. I guess we couldn't accept that because we were small."
Birdu-Fow looked up and looked around at the people who were enjoying their meals.
"Don't really remind me of Gil-Fa on a day like this. Even though Fa's house had fewer families than any other and had long been doomed, Gil-Fa had joined the Conference of Parents with dignity, without shame. No matter how much contempt was directed at the Sung people, they never gave in."
"Uh-huh. I'm only seeing that once, too, because you brought me to the Parents' Council in 15 years."
That said, Ai-Fa smiled softly again.
"Treating the women as apprentice hunters and putting apprentice hunters in the service of the Council of Parents would have been an act contrary to the Forest Side scriptures. But my father Gil, whoever he told me, was flat."
"Oh. There must be no one else with such a strong heart"
"But my father, Gil, with his strength, had trampled the woodland mastery. I myself was pleased with the deed, but it would seem abominable to the rest of my family."
Eye-Fa quietly overlaps words as she stares into the face of Birdu-Faw.
"As Ravitz's parents put it, me and my father Gil were troublemakers by the woods. Birdu-Fow, who tied us to each other like that, is an irreplaceable friend. I want you to keep bonding correctly."
"Uhm......" he nodded, then Birdu-Fow looked back at me on the fence.
"I think I'm starting to get a little bit of Asta's feelings, too. Humans are the kind of things that almost spill tears without being sad."
"Yes, but if Birdu-Fow wept here, I'd definitely get it too."
"Is there a man who cries three times a day? You hold your heart harder."
Lyelpham-Sudra and Lan's parents laughed when Ai-Fa said it in a slurred face.
In the meantime, Rimi-Lou is also laughing "eheheheheheheheheheheh".
"Rimi almost cried something, too. I'm glad you're getting along with everyone, Ai-Fa!
"Hmmm.... I guess that and this is thanks to Limi-Lew for not abandoning bigots like me"
"That's not true," Rimi-Lou responded, rubbing his head against Ey-Fa's shoulder like a kitten.
Tia is leaning her neck again, looking at the Ey-Fa's like that.
"That's kind of a mess. That part seems a lot different from the red folk"
"Are all the Red People friends with the rest of their families?
When Limi-Lew questioned, Tia tilted her neck to the other side.
"Not everyone. I am not close to my clan with Madarama as my friend, so I try to stay away from them. It's forbidden to take life from one another, but if you show your face, you'll hurt your feelings."
"Hmm. I wish all the red folks could get along!
When Limi-Luu stated so, the voice of Dari-Sauti was heard from afar.
"It will be time to finish the dinner the Lew family prepared for us. I want the Zaza and Fou bloodlines to start preparing their next dish"
The men raised their voices like cheers, and the women rose up all the time. Luu's blood also seems to cooperate in the catering, and Limi-Luu seems to rise to regret it.
"If you like, can I help you too?
When I offered to do that, Yun-Sudra smiled and said, "No."
"Asta is here today as a testimony to Ai-Fa, isn't she? Please keep an eye on how much work we have been able to do under Tour-Din"
"Yeah, I get it. Well, then, let me give you a taste of everyone's cooking."
"Yes, stay tuned"
With empty iron pots and wooden plates, the women go out of the sacrificial hall.
With great anticipation, I decided to wait for the food to arrive.
