37 Promise and Reunion ① Promise

"... I thought you and I would never face each other again."

It is the main house of Lew.

Donda-Lou, with a single-kneed claw behind her beautifully decorated giant Giva skull and fur, was relative to me and Ai-Fa as she grabbed the burr and black smoked meat.

day, ten days after he resigned from Luu's house.

The time is just before Jomtien.

Instead of his parents, only his eldest brother, Giza-Lou, is in formation.

The women also see only Mia Ray-Luw, the first wife to welcome me.

I'm sure everyone is working on their jobs of smoothing fur and simmering fat.

"I can't believe you showed up at this hour. Is' giva hunting 'a good job, yeah, the head of Fa's house, Ai-Fa?

"It doesn't matter. In the last half month or so, I've finished four more gibberishes, so if it's family and two lives, there's some loose ends."

By the way, even in this world a month is around thirty days.

One year is 12 months, days are around 360 days, but once every three years it's 13 months or something. I couldn't understand one thing right now.

Whatever it was, Donda-Lou exhaled, "Ha," even teasing Ai-Fa who responded that way.

"Why don't you do me a favor?" If you want to visit the elder, feel free to do so. "

"I would love to see that later, but before I do, I would like to offer my apologies from my family, Asta, to Luu's head of household, Donda-Lu"

"... apologize?," Donda-Lou twists his mouth like it doesn't even seem funny.

I corrected my knees and let you bow your head deeply.

"I am truly sorry for the other day serving unsatisfactory food to Luu's head of household, Donda-Lu. It's all because of the immaturity of my arm that I left with Kamado. Once again, I would like to offer my apologies."

"Hmm. I have no idea what you want. It's Fa's house."

Words filled with malice and ridicule waver at the back of my head.

"You have given salvation to the soul of the eldest, Ziba-Lou. With that matter, the sin of feeding me rice that would rot the soul of the hunter should have gone unquestioned. I just have trouble saying hello no matter what you put in your unquestioned story, this way."

"Yes, there is something I would like to ask from Asta, the family of Fa's house, to Donda-Lou, the head of Lu's house"

I raise my face and stretch my spine, staring directly at Donda-Lou's magnificent face.

"Once again, could you not let me keep the kamado of Luu's house?

"... ahem?

"I did keep Kamado to give rest to the elder Jiba-Lu's heart. Above all, we were able to accomplish that task, but we were supposed to serve dishes that would offend everyone else in the family, including the parent Donda-Lou - even if we were forgiven, we didn't mean it."

Donda-Lou's eyes are beginning to float with giraffes and vicious light.

It is as oppressive as if it were suitable even with wild beasts.

Still, I said, with all my strength in my eyes.

"Once again, let me keep the kamen of Luu's house. Now it's time to give your whole family peace of mind and satisfaction."

"Your family, or... ate that rotten Gibba, and even eight of the twelve blessed you. Still not satisfied with you?

The sound of that voice made me feel bad.

But before the identity is known, Donda-Lou grins viciously again.

"Besides, kid. It's not delicious or unpleasant for a meal. Eat the meat of Giva, eat the grace of Giva horns and fangs, my belly and soul have already gained rest and satisfaction. The only time I didn't get that was the night you ate that nasty meal."

"Yes, then - I hereby promise to give you deeper rest and satisfaction"

"... Promise," Donda-Lou twists his mouth even further.

"When you make an appointment with Donda-Lou, the head of Lou's house, do you want that, kid?"

"Yes."

"If that promise isn't kept, you know what kind of eyes you'll fit, don't you, yeah, kid?

"... everything will be at Donda-Lou's disposal"

Then, for the first time, his eldest brother, Ziza-Lou, came with words.

"My father Donda-Lou. Having said that, Fa's house also has no wealth to pay the price for. There will be no other way to break the covenant than to offer itself - but the name of the house of Lew will only fall to the earth if the blood of the people is shed with this kind of play."

"Hmm. The lad there is not a people, but a leftover with white skin?

"Nevertheless, I now belong to Fa's house. Even if you were born exotic, it doesn't make any difference that you're a family member by the woods."

It's leading us through us - I'm sure it's not.

Giza-Lou, who weighs in on Forestside discipline, doesn't want to keep his tears with other family members in the first place, or let his parents imitate him abusively.

"Well, wait. Even I want blood because of my diet, so rough. … unless even the poison that corrupts the soul of the hunter is eaten."

A grin spreads like a carnivore who finds his prey on Donda-Lou's rocky face, which is almost hidden by his hair and beard.

"But it's boring to exchange promises at no cost.... Hey, kid, are you ready to sift that prized meal and treat other people in the house?

"Yes?"

Leaning his neck because he didn't know what it meant, the big man shook that stubborn shoulder in some fun and irresistible way when Gibba incarnated.

"Ten days from today, there will be a dowry festival in the house of Rutim, the family of Ruh. As a greeting, three nights later, Rutim's parents will come to this house. As a precedent, I'm going to throw you a feast that Lew's house has given up - and I'm asking you if you're prepared to keep that kame."

"Donda-Lou, that's..."

"Let it go, Ziza."

The tracing son of the Lou family, with unidentified pressure, was also still short of actors in front of his parents.

With my narrow eyes further narrowed and breathing Ziza-Lou sideways, I asked, "How many people are going to participate?" I asked.

"What, there are only three of us. Rutim's parents, his eldest brother and his bride."

"My oldest brother......" I = fa snapped low.

"Oh, my eldest brother," Donda-Lou laughs even more.

"I mean, the Rutim family's trail son. It's the best celebration for Rutim because he wants to welcome his wife.... Finally, I tell you, Rutim is the biggest house in the family of Luu. The number of men is also high, and the house of Lew is also deeply connected. If things were to go wrong like buying these people's anger, they would offer insulation to Fa's house, even as Lew's."

"Insulated?"

I looked back at Ai-Fa.

Ai-Fa is quiet, listening to Donda-Lou.

"Lew's house will not involve Fa's house in any way in the future. Even if Fa's house asks for help, it doesn't matter if you take a hand.... We're not just talking about Lew's main house, are we? Seven families on the brink of Lew, all of them over a hundred, are cut off from Fa's house."

"Is that...?" I am the one who asked.

Ai-Fa hasn't moved one eyebrow muscle.

"Hey, the head of Fa's house, Ai-Fa. You stuck with the offer of a dowry from the Lew family, but I don't think you've ever been able to survive since then because of your own talent.

With his arm on his raised knee, Donda-Lou rides himself all the way through.

"The people at Sung's house should have given you a hand by involving Lew's main house. Though the dowry was not made yet, apparently there is some connection between Lew's house and Fa's house.... Of course it's up to those bonkers to think that way, and you just let go of what you found out. I'm not even willing to thank you for that. Even if Sung's people are biting their teeth, I'll be kind enough to clear their suspicions."

"... so?," said Ai-Fa, slightly leaning his neck.

Those blue eyes had slightly enhanced the light.

"So? … so if Lew's house offers you insulation, the Sung people will be able to continue two years ago without any more worries. It's easier for them than twisting Giva's baby."

"... that such lawlessness would be tolerated around this forest?

"If you don't have power, there's no law. It's forbidden around these woods to hide or hide my daughter, but if the Sung family, the chieftaincy muscle, breaks it, who can put the hammer down on it? Is there a hunter who can point a knife at Sung's house besides Lew's family?

I held both fists as I sat on my knees.

I pass through the big man in front of me, and I remember feelings similar to killing intentions on the other side of him.

"Not to mention you have no family. My only family is the leftovers there. The settlers won't notice anything when you find out. [M] That's why two years ago, on that night, that Bonkla broke contraindications, but he came to your house, right? I wonder how many men Bonkla will bring in this time when he sees the pain in his eyes with that one?

"... it doesn't matter how many people I bring. I will only defeat my enemies."

Eye-Fa's eyes finally erupted the fire.

The unbeatable glance of Donda-Lou dazzles the big man like a beast.

"Is that the promise offered by Donda-Lou, the head of Lou's house? If my family Asta doesn't satisfy your hearts, Lew's house will be insulated by Fa's house.... accepted. As the head of Fa's house, let's accept that promise."

"Hey, Ai-Fa!

To me screaming, Ai-Fa turns to my blue burning eyes.

"What? I don't suppose you're going to want to be unsure, etc.? I told you. Be prepared to bear the name of Fa's house."

Ai-fa, was angry.

Maybe the most - mad - I've ever seen.

That's probably not because Donda-Lou has been poking at illegal demands.

I am mad that I have not lived with the passion of the Lou family - that I have been trampled on my dignity.

(Ai-Fa......)

With all due respect, I don't want to make this kind of deal.

I don't know how much I would have thrown away if my pride would have saved Ai-Fa.

It's ridiculous what a battle to challenge Ey-Fa's safe life until it's a draft.

But...

If I run away here, I'm sure Ai-Fa won't be saved.

At least that fiercely clean soul won't be saved.

Instead, I must be furious that even I intend to trample on the dignity and admiration of Ai-Fa.

"... Asta," a low voice called me.

Blue eyes like fire are looking at me.

The brow is deeply engraved with wrinkles, and after calling my name, its lips are tightly tightened - my shoulders are starting to shake small.

(You, too, don't believe me...?

(If I don't give in to something like that, won't you believe me too...?

I felt that fiery glance was appealing to me that way.

"... okay, I will"

Whispering, I turn back to Donda-Lou.

"On that condition, we accept"

Donda-Lou narrowed his eyes a lot.

Thick fingertips, like the glove, shake the hair like a bump.

"Take it, you say? Do you guys really know what you're talking about?

"On that condition, we accept"

Again, with a strong voice, I answered.

In Donda-Lou's eyes, a frustrating emotion burns up.

"Fine. Shall I make a deal with you, Kamado? When what you make fails to satisfy me, I ask you to return what you are proudly hanging from your neck to Lew's house.... because you can't give Lew's human blessings to the insane who break his word."

"Okay."

Just keep calm on the top, and I'll give you a nod back.

Looking sideways at the neighbor to see if this was really a good idea, Ai-Fa was a little nagging and hiding those burning eyes in her eyelids.

If I'm not mistaken...

under its mouth felt a terribly satisfying smile drifting
