For the remaining four days to the feast, that had already passed at a tremendous rate.
Of course I was busy, but I didn't have enough time anyway.
The people by the woods, the men and the women, were all diligent and quick to remember. It wasn't that the guidelines were good or highly capable, it was stupid and serious anyway.
Relatively calm, well-people-friendly women and both crude and oligarchy men. Personality is quite the opposite, but on the point of "seriousness," there was no victory or inferiority.
I'm sure that's a factor in your attitude toward "work," and hence your strength of belonging toward "home".
Anyway, they work well. For "home". To "live". No complaints, no complaints, work. Like a robot, there is no inorganic image at all, but I couldn't wipe the impression that coming from another world called Japan, I knew it was like a wild animal, acting as if I was following my instinctive programming.
But that, with an unpleasant impression, was not at all.
It felt rather desirable for me to regard this action as a "job," and they even felt like the best partners.
I don't think you should work like a machine.
I don't even think I need human feelings to fulfill my job.
That's not what happened, they seemed to be straightening out something called work, as they breathed, in nature, but also with proper joy and suffering.
Was it foolishness, because of the hunting ethnicity living by the woods, where "living" and "working" are directly connected?
Well, whatever.
The important thing is that it was a comfortable space for me.
Anyway, I worked my ass off.
It was the establishment of a "new pot with poitan" that was important. That's not all I do. In any case, when I was at home with 100 people, there was an organization that had never challenged me.
If the day approaches, we have to work out a plan for what steps to take to proceed with the cooking on the day.
And I have to tell the women exactly that, and I have to teach them the procedures and techniques to do that.
From the day after the first tasting session, help also came from Luu's branch.
Seven houses built around the square. These are the families of Lew, who dwell in five houses except the empty houses therein.
Well, in short, the family members are Donda-Lou's brother's family, his uncle's family, those sons' families.
Among them, of course, there was a mixture of you and your sister, Sin-Lu's mother.
It seems that Luu's house, the parent family of six families, such as Rutim, Ray, Minn, Maam, Lilyn, Mufa, and so on, is thus prepared for a family feast every time.
Most of all, it was a story that the main square of Luu's settlement could only be used by relatives with deep ties. If it were to be Rutim's main house, the edge would be as old and as deep as Ruw's division. Therefore, both the main house and the branch were driven out to prepare for the feast.
Whatever the man was, he couldn't put the giva hunting job aside. Even three days before the feast, most of the women seemed to give top priority to the preparation of the feast.
A very small part of it was allocated to my help.
There were other jobs, like mountains.
Firstly, a number of simple pieces were installed in the square.
It's a simple pile of stones that can be demolished as soon as the feast is over.
But the stone was carried by the women using a pull plate, and all ten Kamado were newly built. That alone is almost half a day long.
And as for me, Kamado-san's partitioner, I was pressed to check every firepower for its simplicity.
It's just an easy make to stack stones on all sides and put an iron pan on top of it, so the heat and smoke escape from all sides. Even with the same amount of firewood, the firepower drops definitely.
It was within your imagination, but the steaks and hamburgers had to be prepared at home and sifted through the finished product. When that happens, we must carefully calculate what procedure we are going to use to create it, and we must let the women master the technique so that they can cook properly even in places beyond their sight.
Though the work I took myself, the hardships around it were so harsh that I really wanted to cry anymore.
And even if we try the women, we have to do the work of securing firewood to be used in the kamadu, preparing the lighting because the feast extends into the middle of the night, and building the bride and groom to sit on, while still being chased by various preparations to live the day.
I'm not the only one in trouble.
Instead, a lot of people would have found it uninteresting, after all, because they even had to help me in that.
If you need to simmer or BBQ the usual Giva pan, it is sufficient to prepare meals and other ingredients.
Still, they worked foolishly for me.
So it was truly gratifying that steaks and hamburgers - or blood draining and getting a taste of unscented giva meat - exploded with surprise and joy like the people in the Luu main house and then most of the ladies were already happy to help.
Two or three heads each day were able to obtain giva meat that had been successfully bled and dismantled, so the amount to be used at the feast could be secured immediately. After that, they would distribute the excess meat to the five branches, and even then they were delighted with all the tears.
As I thought in Lou's main house, the women still seemed to have a higher interest in something called "cooking" than the men.
Well, I guess that's natural.
In this woodland area, Kamadoku is a woman's business.
If you can bring deeper joy and rest to your family in your work, that must be a happy thing.
I could just feel it, but I deserved this job.
The involvement of a heretic named myself may have had a negative impact on the food culture by the woods - a sense of sufficiency that exceeds anxiety and fear, I was able to obtain.
My path and that of Gazran-Rutim are probably overlapping.
By gaining deeper joy, I hope my family ties deepen - I'm sure he's trying to use his own place of weddings to embody my, nonchalant and embarrassing words that he said.
A man hunts a giva, drains blood, peels and dismantles it.
The women gather firewood, they gather vanilla, they cook kama, they cook meat.
Whichever is missing, delicious dishes are not complete.
This is the first time that a family can work together.
That foolish young man would have thought that he wanted to share the deep joy thus gained with more than a hundred families and gain deeper ties, stronger powers.
I did everything I could to meet that expectation.
In this harsh environment, I thought I'd do my job so that I could give a little bit of great pleasure to one and many people.
In the meantime, a little happening occurred two days before the feast - the afternoon of the third day since I stayed in Luu's settlement.
◇
"A, A, Asta! Oh, my God! Come here for a second! The men are in trouble!
It was Limi-Lew who informed me of the disturbance.
Even that day, I pulled from morning to morning, and from around Jomtien, I encouraged the women to learn how to create hamburgers.
"What's the matter with you? What's wrong with the men? To the woods, we're on our way, right?
In the meantime, five women refrained. It is Raina-Lou, and Tito Min-Lou, and then the ladies of the division.
"Hey, something's wrong with you! I'm a fucking hussy with a man! Brother Dalm pulled the knife out! Anyway, it's tough!
Limi-Lu had almost made me cry.
Tension runs on my chest, too.
"What's a weird guy? No way, is that the Sung family man?
"No, I'm not! He's from Stone Capital.
"... what?
"A man with beautiful hair, like I = fa! I think he asked me where Fa's house was!
I get stunned.
A man with golden brown hair, stone capital - that's definitely Camua-Josh.
Other than that, I can't think.
But why is that guy by the woods?
"- Excuse me. I'm just gonna go. Tito Min-Lu, I just need to know, so can you explain it to me instead?
"Fine, but you..."
"It's dangerous to go, Asta!
And, Raina-Lou has taken it.
More than Limi-Lu, he is a crying face.
I breathe a little and then gently pull that soft shoulder away.
"I'm fine. I don't do dangerous imitation. Don't worry. Wait for me."
I flew out with Limi-Lu.
Running through the sidelines of the house, he walked sideways through a huge yara built in the front of the house to the Great Square - the sight of which was already in sight.
There's a crowd at the exit of the square.
It was a time limit for departure into the forest. The men of Luu, reduced to sixteen by the departure of Lyada-Lu, are herding there.
And - I did see a familiar shade of long cape from the gap between those flexing men.
"Wait - wait!
Running, I screamed.
But there is no one to look back.
However, I felt like Donda-Lou's head in a slightly higher position had glimpsed this one on the side.
"... leave! This is no place for the inhabitants of the capital!
Eventually, I hear a familiar voice.
This is Darum-Lou, my second brother in the main house of Lou.
Darum-Lou was confronting the man with a barbaric knife.
The man...
If you're just tall, you're as good as Donda-Lou.
However, with a slight lean.
Blonde brown hair, pale purple eyes.
On the long face, bearded.
Leather cape, leather boots.
An old man, a child, a strange glance, a man...
Camua-Josh stood there floating.
"... hey. Nice to finally meet you, Asta at Fa's house."
Looking at the tip of the barbaric knife approaching the tip of his nose, he said in the same neat voice.
If Darum-Lou takes another step, it is in time to be cracked in the head.
Despite that, Camua-Josh was smiling with a float, not only before the long cape.
"I just asked you where your house is, and this is who you are. But it's good to see you. It's been four days, huh?
"Shut up! I'm the one talking!
Darum-Lou barks.
His eyes burn like flames, and his face, reminiscent of a wild wolf, is also drawn and distorted by passion.
It's like, it's a killer chunk.
I bypassed the manly hedge and stopped in a position where I could see both confronting each other directly from the side.
Really, Limi-Lew takes it to his left arm.
Have you reached this point?
I'll half-body your body and hide that little body at all.
"Asta, I was wondering if you could tell me? Never harmful here. I've just been visiting you because of my work as a guardian."
"Will you shut up for a second! Because it's going to be easy to talk to!
While I was rather confused, I avoided the foolishness of speaking up to Darum-Lou himself and shook up Donda-Lou's giant.
"Donda-Lou! This guy, he looks familiar to me! About four days ago, I knew him when I went to the Inn Town to buy him out! I still don't know if he's a good guy or a bad guy - but he's not a violent person, I don't think!
"Come on. Grab a good person like me..."
"Don't worry, you shut up!
Donda-Lou advanced in the place of Dalm-Lou, looking at me sideways.
"The inhabitants of the capital. You said earlier that you came to this woodland settlement for work."
"Yes, sir. The next time we leave Genos, we have the task of protecting the Chamber of Commerce to the territory of the Kingdom of the East. In the meantime, we're going to take you through this settlement."
Even though the usual force is still lurking, it is at this rate even before Donda-Lou.
The upper back is about the same, but not a single turn in thickness or width. It was as if Higma and Kamakiri were confronting each other.
"It's been about ten years since I've seen such an insane person. Ten years ago, Gibba attacked all of them."
"Yeah. Hungry Giva even attacks the traveler's food, so hey.... Well, it's unclear if Giva really attacked me."
Donda-Lou's eyes are narrowed.
There was no change in the face or waist, but the eyelids dropped. I felt the density of my eyes became thicker.
So he says, "Hey idiots, what are you doing, you guys," and suddenly he smashes his head from behind.
Looking back, Rudd-Lou pulled our arms as he became the eye of a hunter with half.
"Back off now. Stay away from the man who pulled the knife.... Well, what are you really doing, Chibi Limi!
"Ugh, shut up. Do it!
Is it because their conversation got to their ears like that that that made Camua's cheek so loose?
As a result, Darum-Lou became such a vicious face that Donda-Lou narrowed his eyes.
"... all residential jobs in the capital should be partitioned by the Sung family of the chieftaincy. How could you walk around here all by yourself without guidance?
"Ha. I had an offer to show you. No, it's just a look down there. If I wanted to be alone today, I would have given you my pleasure. Didn't you hear from the Sung family?
Donda-Lou burned a fire of passion in his eyes only for a moment, probably throwing up "shit" towards someone who wasn't here.
"So, what happened to running errands at Fa's house? What's your relationship?
These are words that were directed at me.
It is time to make a decision.
Either fabricate an episode with no touch around, or confess the truth thoughtfully - which is the right path for I-Fa?
"... Asta, can I talk to you for your convenience?," Camua says, blurring and chatting.
Of course it sounds round.
I think it might be quicker to talk to Darum-Lou about slaughtering and killing him already. I made up my mind, Conn.
"... in the Inn Town, the people of the Ai-Fa and Sung family have fallen apart. So we were about to be captured by the guards, and I was able to get this Camua-Josh guy to take us there."
At that moment - now it's time for a blue flame to burst into Donda-Lou's eyes.
Still, the expression remained motionless, "What's the name of that Sung family man?" He asks with a voice at the bottom.
"I named him Dodd-Sun. He's not that big, but he's a young man with a good physique and a square face."
"Dodd-Sung - your second brother in the main house"
Donda-Lou's beast eyes move from me to Camus.
Really, Camua laughed a lot.
"It's itchy or what, then, isn't it a lack of explanation, Asta? So you have no idea what's wrong with Ei-Fa or Dodd-Sun?... You know, Dod-Sung Mitsuhito has been intoxicated since daytime, and he snuck a knife at an innkeeper town person who seemed to have defamed the folks by the woods in the shadows. The truth is that it was Ai-Fa who stopped it by force."
…………
"So, using his privilege of being a Sung family person, he tried to deceive the guards that it was not in Ai-Fa. So I was watching things from start to finish, and I testified to the guards and I got nothing. That's what I mean."
"... So, what business do you have at Fa's house?
"No, both Ai-Fa and Asta were really pleasant people, so I just wanted to see them again and talk to them.... Ah! I forgot to tell you the story of Asta saving Tara by wearing herself! Tara wanted to see you, too, Asta?
Enough. Enough, shut up. Really.
I haven't said one thing wrong, but when I'm told from this man's mouth, it feels like everything is going to fade away.
"... this kid has a job to do. I'm not talking to a man like you."
"Oh, really? That's unfortunate."
"Go home"
"Right. If that's the case, I'll give it up today.... so will I be allowed to visit Fa's house again in the day?
"... there must have been an agreement that the inhabitants of the Stone Capital would never set foot by the woods."
"Really? Let's do it again, even if it's the best job we've got."
"You......!" And it is Darum-Lou who stripped his teeth.
Even while the conversation was going on, his barbaric knife had always been stuck at the tip of Camus' nose.
But Camua laughs at me with a cool face.
"Asta. When will your work be done?
"Oh, it'll be over the day after tomorrow, but -"
"Well, I'm going to interrupt you again in three days"
Camua's strange purple eyes stare at Donda-Lou.
"I'm Camua-Josh from The Guardian. Hunter by the woods, may I ask for your name?
"... it's Donda-Lou, the head of Luu's main house"
"The Lew family. Donda-Lou. Thank you. You and I would like to have a drink someday."
Ugh, Camua pulled herself out.
Donda-Lou's thick hand is placed on the shoulder of Darum-Lou, who hastily tries to chase him.
"Well, good day to you"
That's how Camua-Josh left.
Leaving a big ripple on the chest of the Lew family men as well as me.
