69 Rutim's Feast (Bottom) ① Coming in

Slowly, the yang leans west.

Without waiting another two hours, the world will be engulfed in the dark.

By the time the yang touches the forest view to the west, the bride and groom come to the grand square as a guide, and the feast is supposed to be held.

By now I'm going around my family's house one by one, one by one blessing, I should be.

And they come to this great square in turn from their families who have finished their blessings.

Nearly thirty families had already gathered in the Great Square.

However, children under the age of five are not eligible to participate in the feast, and, unfortunately, they are gathered in the same branch house as Luu's infants and taken care of by the ladies in turns.

And the male figure can only be seen by very few old men and young boys under the age of thirteen.

The hunters are still in the woods on such a day.

We should not be forced to return early to avoid misfortune on the feast day, but the men of the six families, with the exception of Rutim, still serve as hunters.

If we can send the horns and fangs of the giva we hunted that day, he says that's the blessing above all else.

Clean and fierce, that was the people by the woods.

◇

"Okay - you're all set."

After 70% cooking, I soak up my forehead sweat.

Poitan baked up.

Three kinds of vegetable stir-fry were also finished.

Both stew and soup are complete.

The fruit liquor sauce for the hamburger was reconnected to an empty bottle of fruit liquor.

All you have to do is cook the meat.

Between the main house of Lew, 100 hamburgers plus 20 spare hamburgers and some of the steaks are arranged in a sloppy line.

There are six Kamadu in total, but only three pairs can be cooked at the same time in order to use high and low heat.

Still, the iron pan is large, so I can cook about five at the top.

That's three pairs, and fifteen can cook at the same time.

It's about time - it will fit.

"Okay. Let's bake"

On my signal, a hamburger can be thrown into a pot.

White smoke sprays up all the time.

Then, the irresistible smell of the meat and fat cooking fills the area.

It was me, Rayna-Lew and Meer Ray-Lew who undertook the most difficult hamburger baking tasks.

The rest of the ladies in the main house are scattered around the house, baking steaks there.

The ladies, who are free at home, are asked to come out here as hauliers for iron pots.

It was the mother and sister of the Sin-Lu boy who was holding Grigi's stick instead of mine.

"Okay. Please"

Hook a grigi stick from left to right into the hand of the pan and let the two move to the body of a low heat.

When the red gravy floats up, turn the patties upside down, return them to the body of the high fire again, and throw in the fruit liquor to cover them.

A further fragrance that erupted before the lid was stirred twisted between the eyelids.

Both Meer Ray-Lew, who uses the kamado on the back, and Rayna-Lew, who uses the outdoor kamado, seem to be doing well.

"... it's a pleasure to help you, Asta"

And he was called out in a hideous voice.

It is Sheila-Lou, the sister of Sin-Lou.

For the people of the woods, the line is thin, and she has a slightly more subtle atmosphere. A little older than me, I guess.

"My father Lyada lost his power as a hunter, my brother Singh was going to succeed his parents at the age of sixteen, and we were almost halfway there… eating the meal you taught me made me feel so happy that I could be considered to live strong. … thank you very much"

"I apologize for your excessive words and I'm afraid. But your sword judgment was brilliant enough to beat Rayna-Lew."

Open the lid, make sure it burns, and then I'll laugh at you.

"Keep cooking delicious food to satisfy everyone's feelings. That's all you guys can do. … it's time for a weak fire"

"Yes."

My mother and daughter work together again to move the pan.

Now if we bake it up, we're done for the first time.

"Asta. You are a strange man. As my brother Singh said, even though it's your turn, you can sometimes look brave like a hunter."

"That's another outrageous word. I'm not that big of a person."

"No. It's true. This is how I manipulate the flames freely to turn the meat of Giva, which was so hard and stinky, into such a delicious dish... really, I'm like the wizard of the kingdom of the east"

"A cook is something like that. You don't have to bring up a kingdom to the east, but I'm sure there's a cook in the west who can't compare to me. … Alright, it's done"

Arrange the baked hamburgers over the rubber nokimodo leaves on the table.

Remove the impurities attached to the pan with a wooden slab, return to high heat, remove new fat, and throw another five patties.

In the meantime, Ai-Fa also laid a rubber noodle over the baked hamburger, placing the flat stone of support on the left and right, before laying the elongated splitting plate on top of it.

In this way the finished product keeps piling up.

"Ah, Ai-Fa. Speaking of which, what kind of leaf is that? I still don't know my official name after all this time."

"Gonumoki"

"Huh?"

"It's a gonumoki leaf, this is"

Oh, really?

Rubber nokimodoki is fine, no more.

That leaf, which was bigger than the flat of both human hands, had no smell, and was a substitute for the plates that had to be baked so much meat on the surface.

Normally, it was the style of baking meat directly with a simple kamado set up in the square, so it was rarely bothered with meals.

But I had to distribute the finished product for each dish, so it bothered me a lot.

All guests bring is their own wood plates and gold skewers.

So I decided to replace the splitting plate with a basin and replace the rubber nokimodo with a plate.

The creation of this split plate and the collection of hundreds of rubber nokimodo leaves should also have been a tremendous burden for the women.

But the women's faces, they're all bright.

These dishes make my face shine in anticipation of how surprising and delightful my family and family will be.

The head chef was me, but this is the dish we all made.

I really hope this deepens the ties of the clan.

I think we should all be happy together.

I wish the wedding of Gazran-Rutim and Ama-Min could be accomplished in the best possible way.

"Asta! I'm done with the hamburger for this one! I'll take the steak!

"Yes! Please!

"I'm home! Asta, the other houses are doing well so far."

"Thank you, Rimi-Lou. Can you tell Stew it's time to light the fire?

"Rika-yi!

Work is progressing well.

Then I screwed up with the iron pan move and ruined five steaks, though reports came in. The ladies of that division soon cut themselves a new piece of meat, covered with salt and pico, and returned with a flying momentum.

"Oh my God! Now my sister Vina has turned Aria's soup upside down!

"What!? Has everyone got burns or something?!?

"Daijibu! But Vina, my sister's gonna cry! I mean, he was crying!

"You don't have to cry! Except for the stew, I can take it back! It's a long-distance feast anyway, so don't panic slowly and tell him to make it back the way it was before!... Oh, was there anyone in that house who could make the soup right now?

"I don't know! If you weren't there, Rimi would help!

"Okay, please!

This much happiness is within our expectations.

Eventually all the meat was also roasted up in the main house of Lew, after which the water was stretched out in an iron pan, covered with a lid, and put on a split plate as much as it could be put on top of it. Although it is not expected to have a significant effect, it is at least a measure of thermal insulation.

"Okay, now this is ok and. I'll look around the other houses."

"Copy that. Well, then, Rayna and the others get dressed. We'll take a look around here."

When Mother Meer Ray responded that way, the young ladies, headed by Raina-Lou and Sheila-Lou, left between "yes" and something like that.

Notice the look on my face, my old man laughs.

"It's a feast. For unmarried women, it's a small sunny stage. There are so many times when a new daughter-in-law is decided on in a place like this."

"Oh... really?"

Then it would be easier to stay away from Vina-Lou and Raina-Lou outside of work.

But when he saw the unmarried women, but how long had they lived and been royal, "I am a man of Fa's house," he scowled back with an unexpected look.

I don't know, you don't dress.

What a relieved and unfortunate, complicated comfort.

"Then I'll go. If there's no problem, I'll be right back."

How long have I been away with Ai-Fa?

Already the sun is about to touch the forest view to the west.

It seemed like a critical time.

"Now I wonder if I've finished half of it"

I turn to the nearby house of the division with a much more shadowy view of the Great Square.

"Half? Aren't all the jobs done anymore?

"Cooking is over. But it's not until we deliver the food to our guests. When the last steak and hamburger get to the brides mouth, I guess it's over."

There was no abnormality in the appearance of the division.

In one house, fried vegetables pile up.

In one house, a pile of baked potatoes.

Steaks pile up in one house.

In one house, the stew moved from the main house has been reheated.

The empty house where we were staying was bare and when we arrived at the last one, Rimi-Lou was working hard to get the soup's ash juice by himself there.

"Oh Rimi-Lou, you're annoying! I see this is the culprit of Sister Vina's tears"

The kamado next to it was soaking wet, and aria and flesh pieces were scattered here and there.

"Limi-Lu, are you alone? And everyone else?

"Everybody's gone to get dressed! They were all unmarried women!

"What about Limi-Lu? You're not getting dressed?

"Yeah! When this is over, I'm gonna go get dressed!

Really? The sunshine of Rimi-Lou is all I want to see.

"Then I'll take your place. It's time for the brides to arrive, so hurry and get dressed. Oh, and then I need you to help my Mia Ray mothers in the main house."

"Okay! Thanks!...... that? Ai-fa doesn't change?

"I'm from Fa's house. Would it be a celebration of Rutim's family today?

"Oh well. I would have liked to see the feast costume too. Then Rimi's coming too! Thanks, both of you!

Piu Ta Limi-Lu rushes out between.

Then, to that and misplaced, came Sin-Lu.

This was Sin-Lew's house, by the way.

"Hey, welcome back, Sin-Lu. Safe and above all."

"Oh.... was there a problem there too?

"It's okay. Your sister and mother worked really well too."

Not your love, that's what I said.

Because they were quite powerful, they dared not leave them in this home to help make hamburgers in the main house. It was not just the movement of the iron pan, but its power was somehow exerted in the work of grinding meat and making patties.

Besides - I was also a favorite of this silent, heartless, clumsy boy.

The opposite temperament, Rudd-Lou, is really heartbreaking to watch.

"... are you the eye-fa of Fa's house"

And Sin-Lu's slightly slit eye sees Ai-Fa.

Speaking of which, these two were first person.

"I'm the head of this house, and it's called Sin-Lu. It was just fine. You had something to ask."

Huh? And I compare the two of you.

They are both faceless, so you get nothing from visual information.

Both, however, were quiet occasions, and this did not stir up anxiety.

"Ai-fa, you are -" Sin-Lu said as he tried to continue.

"Sinn. Are you home?" I heard Sheila-Lou.

"Oh..." he said, stomping in between.

"Were you guys in need too? Welcome, Asta to Ai-Fa"

It was Sheila-Lou, who had just broken up, but she had already finished her feast costume and dressing for the dot.

Heh... and I'm a little impressed.

Because of a little bit, even Sheila-Lou, who had no strong impression on the outside, was kind of as pretty as someone else.

He has long black brown hair, just like his brother, loosened and dripping on his back.

And he fastens some small flowers and nuts to that hair and wears something even more like a translucent vale from above it.

The vale brightens the sunset with a little orange, glittering with maggots.

I was a little bit of a lookout as to whether there was such fiber in this world.

Maybe the chest and hips aren't the same as they were just now. I don't remember the details that much, but I think the pattern of the whirlpool pattern is very subtle and the shades are a little more gorgeous.

And from its waist to its ankle, this one is a little purple, but it still puffs a translucent, fluffy cloth. Wrap around the neck, wrists, and ankles with colorful woodworking and metal finishing ornaments that aren't just the grigi fruits of insect repellent - Sheila-Lou was so beautiful.

"Oh, this is rebuilt - is that right? If you don't mind, I'll keep it on fire."

"Really? Then please.... Um, be careful not to burn your costume, huh?

"Yes, I am."

Its face, which smiles with dust, is also very gentle and attractive.

Looking back at Sin-Lu that way, the boy shook his head, still facing quietly.

"You were still in the middle of a job. Sorry, I'll see you later."

"Right. Bye."

And I had to meet the two of them and follow suit because I left without any untraining.

"Hey. I wonder what Sin-Lew was up to for you?

"I don't know," Ai-Fa said.

"Would that be the men in Luu's branch? I don't feel like I can speak to someone like that."

"Right."

Well, if it was that Sin-Lu, I wouldn't be up to anything. Something caught my eye, but me and I are still in the middle of a job.

And when we set foot in the square...

Really, the cheer exploded.

The bride and groom arrived.

Perhaps bringing in people who seem to be the Rutim and Min families - Gazran-Rutim and Ama-Min came.

Leading the way is an old stranger.

Is it Rutim's elder or something? Bald head, with a white jawbeard hanging over his chest, can be guessed to be quite old, but his spine stretches perfectly, his feet are firm, and he is dressed in the hunter's outfit.

On its left and right, there are two small children.

One is a boy and one is a girl.

Both, it would be about smaller than Limi-Lu.

The boy is proudly distracted by being forced to wear a costume that mimics the hunter, even though he is so small.

The girl is grinning cheerfully, teasing through the clear vale like Sheila-Lou did earlier.

On its small hand is raised a flat basket woven with flowers and nuts, where the white fangs and horns of Gibba are piled.

It must be a blessing, given by my family.

The men, who had not yet completed their blessings, walk quietly over, calling out to the leading old man, before laying their fangs and horns on their flat baskets.

And still try to get stuck with the men dressed as hunters and the women weaving thin objects - the protagonists of the day, have come in.

Gazran-Rutim and Ama-Min.

Gazran-Rutim looked like a hunter, naturally.

However, what was decidedly different was the cape of Giva's fur, wrapping its robust flesh.

There is no doubt that it is Gibba's fur - because that cloak also left Gibba's head fur.

I try to hit Gazlan's successful right shoulder, and Giva's head is on it.

It is the head of a fairly huge giva.

And were those fangs and horns stitched up later, too, with four sharp cuts stretched out all the time.

There is a right half hidden in that cloak, only the left side is ripped off, from which a large and small knife peeks.

I guess that's a special outfit for a feast, too. The contents may be in front of you, but both sheaths have leather strings sewn up or baked stamps pressed, yet beautifully colored stones fastened all over the place.

All I have to do is put an emerald green grass crown on my brown hair - yet the Rutim family's successor looked more ambitious and brave than usual.

The bride, who walks quietly next to it, still wears a bug-colored veil.

But unlike Sheila-Lou and the rest of the women around him, he was double-tripled over the veil and fastened with the same grass crown as the person it would be her husband.

Vale's soot was all the way over her face, and even her expression had been sumptuous beyond the jade bug-colored light - still, I could only confirm that the bride was smiling happily.

Furthermore, she was dripping translucent shawls from her shoulders and hips, all of her brown skin wrapped in fluffy light.

The colorful tattoos still swirled around the chest and hips worn underneath it, and the ornaments wrapped around her neck and hands and feet would have been subtle - but only with their maggot-colored glow, she was more special and beautiful than anyone else.

The cheer of blessing the two shook the square air incessantly, and a laugh so stupid that it pressed it further.

It's Dan-Rutim, the groom's father.

A bald-headed big man walking at the head of the crowd is giving an unintelligible laugh.

I don't know what that means - but I guess it's fun.

I guess I'm happy.

I can't wait to see my own son grow up so splendidly and get such a beautiful bride - happy and happy.

My heartbeat is shaking heavily and the meat on my cheeks is shaking.

The kids around me who saw it, they're laughing.

Dan-Rutim, who sees it, gives you that stupid laugh again.

I wasn't sure at this distance - but I felt like there was something glowing about that slightly larger eyeball.

"Asta" pulls his arm gently.

Looking back, Ai-Fa was staring quietly at me.

I nod, I hold my fist.

"Oh. It's time for the second half."

The feast begins.
