Even after the first act of the puppet's play, the people on the spot never wanted to make a scene.

Rico, who emerges from behind the stage, pays tribute to such people.

"Now, please wait while we prepare for the second act"

Rico and Belton drag the crate they took out of the luggage truck to the back of the stage to sneak up on the craftsmanship somehow. I guess they're exchanging puppet costumes. So finally, people were going to ear to ear with their surrounding compatriots.

"... so far, there's no big problem, is there?

When I whispered that way, Ai-Fa nodded "uhm".

"I did see a few points, different parts from the facts...... so long as that doesn't tarnish someone's pride. If you're a person with a bad memory, you'll have a lot of different memories."

"Oh, I'm guessing Ai-Fa has this kind of memory together. If I were an eye-fa, I'd be able to point out which parts are different from the facts without leaving one."

"... than that, I didn't think it would be more unsettling for my puppet to be shown to move like that. Once you've seen all the plays, you'll never see them again."

"I wonder. I remember when I met Ai-Fa, and I felt so happy."

Ai-Fa has given me an iron elbow on my flank, blushing her cheeks a lot.

Then Dial looks at me and says, "Hey."

"As for the Astas, what do you think? Feel like you're convinced?

"Yeah. I don't think I can even complain at the moment."

"Oh well. Then you're so faithful, you can reproduce what you've been doing."

That said, Dial breathed small.

"Wow. Hey, this is all before you met me, right?

"Yeah. The Parents' Conference was the 10th of the Blue Moon. About six months before I met Deal."

"Oh well... of course, Asta and the others had a lot going on."

Dial looked somewhat, deeply attached.

There, Rico's voice echoes.

"Thank you for waiting. I would now like to begin the second act. .. I'm about to talk about the first act if it's supposed to be, but it's going to be unnecessary today, so let me cover it up."

Really, people shut up.

After pulling behind the stage, Rico gives his opening voice once again.

"Kamado no Asta by the woods. Act II, chapter of Count Turan's house. Let me get started."

Hearing the words, I wandered over the other side of the dial.

Refraia stares at the stage with an inorganic face like a French doll. Next to it, the muscle had an eating eye.

For them, this is where it comes from.

For me, it's real from start to finish.

I also decided to pull my gaze back and focus on the stage.

The introduction was a very tranquil beginning.

Camua-Josh is visiting the stall and talking to me. For the first time here, we were to be told about the Chamber of Commerce heading to Sims.

Through Morga's woodland, Genos' Chamber of Commerce strives for Sims. Camua-Josh was its escort and had asked the Sung family to take the lead. Since the Sung family has lost their legs at the Parents' Conference, the role will be assumed by the new chieftaincy Sauti family - a cliché.

My conversation with Camua-Josh also told me about the backdrop of the Sung family. Only Zulo-Sung, the root of all evil, who inherited his predecessor, Zazz-Sung, and his wrong code as it were, will be cut off, and the rest of us will live right back as the people by the woods. As far as the human beings in the main house were concerned, after being cut off from their blood ties with their families, they were to become the families of the Luu and Zaza bloodlines.

And - it is the escape of Zazz-Sung, Tay-Sung and Sung's eldest brother.

The eldest brother, who escapes from the northern settlement by the guidance of Zazz-Sung, also escapes from Zazz-Sung as he is, and rushes to the house of Fa. After all, there was no Dodd present, but it's a mystery as it is in fact.

The folks at the woodside followed the Zazz-Sung's whereabouts in the general outing, but it's hard to find them.

In the meantime, I am ordered by the nobility of Genos not to rest on the business of the stalls.

So finally, the name of Cycleus, the lord of the Count Turan family, was to be revealed.

As a proxy for the lord of Genos, the person is meeting with the chief of the Moribe. Isn't it the discretion of this person - a matter suggested here - that the Sung family man did evil in town, but did not punish it?

In addition, although this differs from the facts, the presence of Silhouel was also revealed here. Silhouel was the head of the militia, so he keeps security in and around the town of Cebu and Genos. Isn't it true that Siluel, Cycleus' brother, misses the Sung family's evil deeds, according to his brother's orders? Those doubts that we were to have later were disclosed here.

And even with regard to the incident ten years ago, it is told.

Even ten years ago, the Chamber of Commerce of Genos set to step by the woods and be attacked by Gibba to give his soul back. It was the people of the Sung family who held the guiding role, and one of the men of the Chamber of Commerce who returned his soul held the hunter's necklace for some reason. Perhaps it was the Sung family that attacked the Chamber of Commerce - a jerk.

The story, I think, was before the Conference of Parents.

I guess this was to be plugged into the second act so as not to disturb the story.

Maybe the Zazz-Sungs are trying to attack the Chamber of Commerce this time. I would advise you that, but Kamua-Josh, for the time being, decides to leave for Sim. Zashma, or "Doug's Hearn," Melfried, never appeared there.

And it is the day of departure, which we have received.

Here I am, watching an unexpected development.

Camua-Josh and the others will be able to walk into the woods with Dari-Sauti's guide.

◆

'Hey, Morga Forest is quite a beautiful place, too. It's hard to believe there's a horrible giva lurking.'

'It's not much to waste. There are few givers in this area, but sometimes whimsical givers get lost.'

But we're defending ourselves with the fruit of Giva, right? Then don't worry. '

"... even if Gibba doesn't stop by, the Sung family's big criminals may come after us."

'The other guy, they're both old men. If all these hands-on hunters protect you, you won't have to cower.'

'Damn, you're a swallowing man.... Sora, we're going to plug into the rocks. Crossing is a cliff, so be careful not to step off your feet.'

'I see. This is it... Hmm. Ten years ago, the Chamber of Commerce was attacked by something here.'

"What are you bumping about? If I fall off this cliff, I won't be able to help you first. '

That's when.

Something small and red has been thrown at me from the woods that were growing on the opposite side of the cliff.

'This... is the fruit of Gibba! How could something like this come down from the woods!

Around, the aroma is occasionally sweet.

When you smell this scent, Giva loses her sanity and comes at you like crazy.

"I see. Is this how you were playing giva"

Many gibberishes have popped out of the woods to respond to the words of Camua-Josh.

The hunters of the Sauti family, starting with Dari-Sauti, stand up resolutely. But before the hordes of gibberish ferocious with the fruit of gibberish, there was nothing to do either.

"Guys, jump on the roof of the luggage truck! Giva said she couldn't jump higher than her own head!

Following the words of Camua-Josh, the people of the Chamber of Commerce jumped on the roof of the luggage car.

"From the roof, respond with a spear! The aim is the base of your neck! If you hit him in the head, he'll break your spear!

"All of you... you little city dwellers!

"Hey, you're Zazz-Sung, the previous head of the Sung family. Unfortunately, that's all you've done."

"What did you do... the man in town became a hunter by the woods!

'You've already disqualified yourself as a hunter by the woods. For more than a decade, I've led my blood family the wrong way.'

Camua-Josh slapped Zazz-Sung down with one blow.

It was Tay-Sung who showed up there.

'Surrender, too. Your sins will be judged by the laws of Genos.... Ah!

Tay-Sung, slashed by Camua-Josh, fell straight under the cliff.

"Shit. They took my coat.... this height won't help. '

By then, all the gibberishes had been exorcised.

But the hunters of the Sauti family, who cut ahead and tried to stop Giva's assault, couldn't even climb onto the roof of the luggage truck, and they're all in deep hands.

'Oh, I did something really sorry. If I had told you the circumstances from the beginning, you would not have been late to Gibba either.... This is also because of the circumstances. Please don't resent me.'

◆

After that, as I know.

Zazz-Sung, who was pulled around as far as the boarding town, throws words of resentment at the people by the woods and the people of the boarding town. It seemed to flaunt a lot of people when they said it was spoken in Rico's adorable voice.

(Well... Rico even went out to the Sauti family, and Camua told me he talked a lot about it. Based on that, did you put your hands on the muscles)

But I also saw a difference there from the facts.

It was Melfried who took Tae-Sung's coat, and Tae-Sung should have just been slashed down.

(I wonder if you omitted the bloody part because it's a play that young kids also see. Besides, did you ascribe the role of Melfrid to the Camus because of the number of puppets, or because of the decency of the Marquis Genos...)

Whatever it was, I guess it was an acceptable alteration as a Rico.

It's just that I was concerned about the mood of the people who were once Sung main house.

Neither Tae-Sung's assault on the Chamber of Commerce on Zaz-Sung's orders nor Zaz-Sung's scattered screams of resentment should be a calmly unheard story for them.

But still, this is the truth.

I was kind of comfortable getting my stomach grabbed until I was myself.

In that way, furthermore, the story approaches its core.

It's a scene where Tae-Sung visits a stall in Inn Town and takes me hostage.

I was supposed to watch the stage, holding my breath.

◆

"Neither the forest code nor the laws of the capital matter! The great Zazz-Sung was trying to bring us a new code and order to replace them! You've lost the only means of subjugating the humans in the capital!

"What's the new law and order! Aren't you just thieves!

'We have only reclaimed our unduly deprived wealth! Shame on you, the people of Genos who were trapping us by the woods and rinsing our sweet juice!

Tay-Sung shouted that way, shaking off his last power.

"We have been kept for eighty years the unjust code given to us by Genos! How many people do you think have starved to death in the last 80 years!? I will never admit that such a fate is right, etc!

'Even I don't think that's right! So to bring richness to the woodland, I started doing business in the Inn Town!

'Why do you have to imitate like that when you say the fruit is overflowing in front of you!? If only we could eat the grace of the woods, we wouldn't even need copper coins! That would be the raw of the righteous people who make forests their gods!

'But then the fields of Genos will be vandalized by Giva! Even the people of the woods are part of the kingdom of the west, so it should be right to live with each other's support!

"Without a man who starves and returns his soul, the people by the woods can hunt Gibba with further power! That way, no matter how much we harvested the grace of the forest, there should have been no more Gibba attacking the fields!

'If so... how could the Sung family have vandalized the grace of the forest on their own without even fulfilling their giva hunting job? If you had revealed the truth to other families and nobles and had the right to reap the blessings of the forest, you might have been able to achieve your imaginary end!

"The nobles and the Lew family are our enemies! We needed to get more power than them first! That's why we kept quietly building up our strength while protecting our blood and wealth!

"It's Tay-Sung. I think I understand your thoughtlessness. But there's no good reason to harm Asta. Asta and I are trying to bring richness to the woods. If the Sung family had the same ambition, can't it be thought of in the wind that it was Asta or us who would take it over?

"You're just waving your tails at Genos! No matter how rich you get, then you can't regain your pride!

'That's not true! We just wanted to reconnect as compatriots living together, not hostile to Genos!

"What a compatriot! Genos is an enemy to be subdued!

'Isn't it because you, as a chieftaincy person, have been relative to the nobility of Genos? Then in the future, new chieftaincy people will take over that carelessness! Now it is time for all the people by the woods to do their part so as to spin the right edge with the nobles of Genos! So why don't you leave the end of the woodland to us?

"What do you know about the end of the woodland?" The doomed world of the Sung family deserves ruin and despair! All you have to do is destroy everything by the woods, this town, the stone castle! Let's start by killing this kid!

"Stop, Tay-Sung!

That's when another hunter who was circling behind me slashed Tay-Sung off his back.

Asta's body is protected by Ai-Fa where she is, and Tae-Sung collapses without a voice.

"You were in danger. Are you hurt, Asta?

'Oh, I'm fine. But Tae-Sung...'

'... he had borne a deep hand from the beginning. No Longer Helpful'

Asta was feeling like she had no place to do it.

I couldn't help but think that Tay-Sung was a true bad guy, no matter how badly I saw him.

Tay-Sung or Zazz-sung. How could they not join hands with the others when they were originally just trying to correct the wrong fate of the people by the woods? That didn't make me sad.

'Tay-Sung said the big sinners by the woods should be shown to the people of the town to be judged by the hands of their countrymen. By doing so, the evil feelings that the people of the town have towards the people of the woods will be dispelled... so was it an act now? Or were you really trying to take me on the road?

'The only person who knows that is Tay-Sung himself. And the power to speak of it is no longer left behind'

"But I need to ask Tay-Sung something!

Asta peered into Tay-Sung's dying face.

No emotions are floating there, and light is being lost from your eyes as well.

"Tay-Sung...... was it you who helped Ai-Fa on the night of the Conference of Parents?

Once Tay-Sung closed his eyelids, he smiled full, just like he did when he just ate Asta's dish.

'... I finally got my last job done...'

Tay-Sung returned his soul with that much to say.

◆

The squares of Luu's settlement were quiet without a single shiver.

The puppet play is still halfway there.

But I was deeply impressed by what Rico did.

Rico has not twisted the facts.

Tae-Sung's interaction with us also seems to be quite accurate. No matter how much I say I've listened to the people involved and gone around, it's enough to make me want to wrap my tongue around how accurate it is to reproduce it.

Tay-Sung looked impatient, shaking away his hatred and thoughtless cry.

I still can't believe that that was all an act. Besides, there were many hunters by the woods, headed by Ai-Fa. It was still hard to think that the woodland hunters, who were good at spotting falsehoods, would soon be fooled by Tay-Sung's acting, etc.

Not to mention that Lyelpham-Sudra was to take Tay-Sung's life with that hand.

I don't see how that deposited and intelligent Lyelpham-Sudra, however critical the place is, would take the lives of others lightly. Because Tay-Sung was seriously trying to kill me, Lyelpham-Sudra was also going to make a bitter decision. I believed that.

So I guess that was Tay-Sung's true intentions.

On top of that, would Tay-Sung have hoped that the blade of judgment would be swung down?

I want to bear all the sins of the Sung family and perish for the sake of the families and blood families that are left behind - wasn't that the truth of Tae-Sung?

That's what I was thinking.

The mood should not have seemed to be embodied as it were in the puppet play.

(But Rico listens to people other than me. Not only the people by the woods, but also Yumi and Dora's father, who told me that they heard so much about that day.... On top of that, Rico chose this muscle)

I wonder how the people who were once Tay-Sung's family feel about it.

Oura-Rutim, Zwei-Rutim, Yamil-Ray, Mida-Rou, Diga, Dodd - from where I sat, I couldn't even check on those people.

And even while I'm shaking my chest, the puppet play is solemnly underway.

The story was flourishing there again in time.

After the Chiefs asked Camua-Josh what was behind the meeting with Cycleus, an episode of my exposure to Refraia was soon to be revealed.

During that period, a number of important events had occurred for me. It was to take part in the harvest festival of the Luu bloodline, to also start business with the Xuanrong Pavilion, to meet Gil and Dial, to be able to buy out luggage, to welcome the parting of the Silver Pot and the architects - and to make those episodes nod and omit.

Well, of course, in the disturbances surrounding the Count Turan family, those episodes have a rare direct relationship. Indirectly, even in the involved episodes, I guess they were just to be cut off so as not to complicate the muscles. Neither did Michelle, who was to meet under the guidance of Schmiral-Lilyn, appear there.

And yet, the episode of my exposure to Refraia felt a lot like it was comically drawn.

A selfish princess turned her back on the town without thinking. Although the person identified is deeply troubled, the environment surrounding it was somewhat similar to that of comedy.

And Rico invented this mystery without even looking at Leflaia.

Appearance traits, etc. would have been enough for hearsay, but coarse language and standing behavior, etc. make me feel like someone else. Return the back, and all the puppets will be just like him.

(Tay-Sung or Zazz-sung or something, because the words spoken were so intact, maybe there was reality. Besides... I guess I could have heard a lot from a lot of people about what they were like)

Either way, unless you're as involved with Refraia as I am, I guess it's not enough to make you uncomfortable.

By the way, Sanjula had not appeared, and Musul had appeared as "the martial officer of Lefreia's men". Besides, Zida, who seems to be so important, never appeared.

It was, of course, Ai-Fa who rescued the captive protagonist.

Ai-Fa wandered off to a dinner party at Count Turan's mansion with a banquet costume like a beautiful princess, and he rescued me safely. I guess only two puppets were prepared for Ai-Fa, as they cannot significantly change their outfits so far in the middle of the play. The design of the banquet costume was more of a Selva-style reminder of the ball, but the puppet Ai-Fa, fluttered with long golden brown hair, was nothing short of beautiful.

And it is the moment of settlement.

After I was rescued, the meeting with Cycleus and Silhouel was to be held immediately after the dinner of the decision at the woodside.

There comes Camua-Josh, with Barsha.

Barsha's allegations revealed that Silhouel was a man who had once done evil to the Red Beard Party.

In fact, Barsha has been joining us for a few days now, and it was Wellhide of the Marquis of Banaam that Camua-Josh brought in. Though it was quite a bold alteration, it may have had less effect on the major muscles.

Thus a confused silhouette causes the guards to fire an arrow. It was roughly true that the Dan-Rutims rush to rescue following the scent of fruit excluding Gibba.

Cycleus and Silhouel are exposed to old evil and held captive.

Kamadhu Asta of Moribe caught the eye of the Marquis of Genos and was asked to cook at a dinner of reconciliation between the people of Moribe and the nobility of Genos.

Atmospherically, congratulations on this - and it was about to end.

Rico's tone and narration also seemed to suggest an atmosphere. If I had been a roadside spectator, I would have just been ready for a bronze coin.

But the story didn't end.

In preparation for the dinner party in Castle Town, when I am training, there will be a Refraia.

Refraia begs Cycleus to cook as well, as the last solder.

On the spot, the puppet's long hair was presented with a fine workmanship that turned into short hair.

That's how I promised Cycleus I'd cook when I heard a wish from Leflaia.

The dinner party in Castle Town ends without a trace, and me and Refraia are led to Cycleus.

That was Rico's prepared real climax.

◆

'This is the first dish I've ever cooked by the woods. Besides giva meat and aria, we only use salt, but it's delicious, isn't it? I don't think what you needed was luxurious cuisine, but a definite nourishing meal like this.'

"For me, only a delicious meal was pleasant... raw without pleasure, without meaning..."

'Pleasure or happiness, whatever. It means you don't need that much wealth to make delicious dishes. Even a pinch of salt can cook as much as this. Wouldn't that make you happier than anything if you could surround the table with your precious family?

'That's enough. It's all over now. Father only needs to be summoned by Western gods, believing that he is the only one who is right.'

"Yes... it's all over... I'm not going to cover anything up... Lord Genos, listen to me too..."

"What is it? I didn't mean to interrupt my father's and daughter's last words."

"After Silhouel was captured, whose hand did the militia loose...?

"The Militia has been laid in the hands of the Second Battalion Commander. The Vice Commander and the First Battalion Commander will be in the blood of Count Turan's family, so it will be necessary to argue. '

"Then there is not enough.. three of them, including the Fourth Battalion Commander, who have shared their sins with us.. If we leave them alone, they will also become the cause of evil.."

"Oh, my God. Even half of the commanders of the militia were villains? Were they going to screw down the Marquis Genos family by any force?

'Well... and one more thing... Behett lurks with a bunch of dead criminals who have been spared death... it was those who were our hands and feet and extended to evil deeds...'

"Are you saying that since the Sung family lost their power, they were letting them attack the Chamber of Commerce? I didn't know you were going to carry this many sinners at the top. '

'But the sin in the first place was committed thirty years ago... it was my youngest brother Silel who slaughtered my father and brother... for the many sins that followed, I and Silel would need to be punished equally... for that abominable sin, Silel was exchanged in one hand... please, I just want you to believe that...'

In front of the Astas who lose their words, Cycleus confessed as such.

"Silhouel was cursing himself for not gaining any power while he was born into the Count's house... and therefore hated the Lord's father and his brother, who wanted to succeed him... he would have had no such hatred for me, who was equally a shader..."

'So, maybe... he was working more evil with Silel because he thought that if he didn't, he might follow the same fate as his father and brother?

'Even so, it's no different that my hands are dirty... and it's hard to grasp the evidence of thirty years of old sin... I just wanted you to believe... that even I have committed so many sins, I have not committed only the abominable sins of killing my father, killing my brother, etc...'

Cycleus stared at Lifreia with his passionate swirling eyes.

"Refraia... my daughter... you have the cursed blood of Count Turan's house... whose cursed blood may have caused you to commit a crime of being tortured..."

"Blood muscles don't matter! Me, me!

'Fine, listen... Still, you can't throw away the blood that flows into you... As a son of a great sinner, you must live for a long time to come... but... the Count Turan family will lose all its wealth and power... that inability may give your soul freedom...'

Cycleus' trembling fingertips grabbed Lifreia's fingertips.

'That way... you can feel happy with a pinch of salt, maybe you can be such a person...'

'I don't know. I was a little man from the beginning.'

Refraia shook Cycleus' hand off and mouthed Asta's cooking.

'A little tasteless, but delicious enough. I can't believe you're not satisfied with such a delicious dish. Your father's a really unhappy person.'

'Yes... your father was a very unhappy, very foolish man...'

Refraia, I stumbled on Cycleus's face for a while, then I said.

"Lord Genos. There's still a lot of food left. Until you finish eating this, could you please leave me and my father alone?

'I don't mind. We'll wait between refrains, so call me when you're done eating.'

The Marquis of Genos nodded to me, and the Astas also headed between refraining.

On its back, the voice of Refraia is delivered.

"Asta, thank you"

Asta answered 'Yeah' and then left the room.

I cannot forgive Cycleus for his sins. But I'm glad I was able to exchange words with Cycleus this evening - Asta, that's what she thought.

'Now we're finally going to be able to fit into all the noise. Let me do all I can to sweep away the rebels and have a good day, chief Donda-Lou.'

"Hmm. Let's hope so"

'And it's Asta. The food was really delicious. The chiefs of the sacrifice had a sinister face, but I wish to welcome them into the territory of Genos. As one of the people by the woods in the future, I want you to walk its raw in the territory of Genos'

'Ha, yes. Thank you.'

The disturbances surrounding the Sung and Count Turan families thus came to an end this time.

Until then, a lot of people have had a hard time seeing it - and that's why we have to do everything in our power to make sure that everyone can take the right path in the future.

But Asta wasn't worried about anything.

Asta was able to find out for herself that the people of the woods, the people of the town, and the nobles were all the same people, however different their positions were.

'So what if we go back to the woods?... Thank you, Asta.'

"Yeah, Ai-Fa too"

Asta, along with Ai-Fa, who is more important than anyone else, has returned to the forestside settlement.

There will continue to be different shifts under Asta - but that will also be another story.
