79 ③ Fa's House Secret Meeting

"Hey, what do you really think about that old man?

I call on Ai-Fa, simmering the gutsy and poitan.

"The more I talk about it, the less I can grasp. I wonder if it would be wise not to get involved any more?

"... I don't know," responded Ey-Fa's voice, also a little less energetic.

"I have no intention of connecting myself with the inhabitants of the Stone Capital than I did before, but the man hasn't made a statement that is persistently against reason. It's just that my attitude isn't serious anymore."

"That's right. I wonder how easy it would be if I could trust that old man.... I don't agree with you, but I think it might be the opposite humanity to what Giza-Lou is like to be serious about unscrupulous. You both look like you're always laughing."

"Besides, the man - he mouthed Gibba's meat"

and i-fa twinkle with dark eyes.

"I didn't think the inhabitants of Stone Capital would imitate that. That was my biggest surprise."

"I wonder if so. I wasn't born in the woods, and I've only been to the lodging town once, but I knew I was convinced by that old man's words about it."

"... what do you mean?

"Huh? So he tells me that only Genos-born people see Giva and the people who hunt Giva as symbols of disaster. Well, then. If I were a Genos person who was actually attacked in the fields, there would have been room for all sorts of misunderstandings and assumptions. Try being a human from a foreign land, huh? It's only about consciousness. Besides, it was eighty years ago that Giva was actually seen as a symbol of disaster."

…………

"So, I guess the majority of the people doing business there are Genos locals, so the people by the woods had little contact with only the people who were afraid of themselves. If there were more people from other countries like that old man who didn't have the power or a bit of a closed temper of a forest folk, maybe there wouldn't have been any misunderstandings so far."

"... Asta, your story is hard"

And finally, Ai-Fa made a weak noise.

Um, i-fa is.

"I knew you were born in Stone Capital, even if you weren't Genos. Your words are as hard to understand as those of a man named Camua-Josh."

"Oh. Sure, where I was born and raised was closer to the Inn Town than by the woods. But I fail to understand because it's hard to understand."

"Who is failing in their efforts?"

The sound of that weak voice makes me look back.

Sitting on every nearby wall, Ai-Fa lay her eyes down with a face far more sinister than I could imagine.

"It's a difficult story to understand, but I'm trying to understand. You blame me just because that understanding is slow...?

"Yes, no, no! Sorry! It was my fault! Please, don't cry!

"Who cries! What do you think I am!

Ey-fa looked a little red as she threw up a dialogue like me.

Yeah. It's 10,000 times better that way than you look like you're about to cry.

"Anyway, let's set the stage now. How far should I reveal to that old man? Is there anything wrong with being known? Is there anything you should know? I think you'd better make up your mind about that."

"Okay," he responded, "for some reason, I = fa stood up all the way up and came around behind me simmering Poitan.

What? While I was thinking what, I got my hands on both shoulders and I said, "What do you think, Asta?" The whisper is poured inside my ear.

I'm just a little taller, so I'm sure I'm even stretching my back. I haven't been touched except on my shoulders, but I can feel Ey-Fa's body temperature all over my back.

"Hey, wait a minute! Why did you kick that old man out, and you're in such a secrecy mode?

"Don't you even know if that man really left this house? What would you do if you were listening outside the wall?

That's why you're going to spend the next few hours in such close proximity!

"Ma, wait! Apparently, the poiton has boiled. Let's take care of this guy first."

The temperature drifts away.

Oh - worse for the heart than Vina-Lou.

I secretly wiped the sweat off my forehead while transferring the molten poiton to my rubber blackjack ship.

It is a poiton for three, six.

The man, I'll be back before dusk, so I asked him if he'd like to join me for dinner.

"Because I'm not telling you to stay home! I'm so interested in the diet of the forest people! If you need a price, pay it right!

I don't feel like asking for a price from a guest who brings me fruit liquor that looks fancy if I do. Because Ai-Fa replied with an acknowledgment even though it seemed complicated, I made a three-member meal.

"Well, we have to decide on a dedication before we talk."

I look back at Ay-Fa, who pulled back, as I scorched the leftover Poitan in a wooden slab.

"What would you like for dinner?" "Hanba-gu"

Fast!

With the "ah" face, Ai-Fa re-said "......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

No, even if it was re-worded.

"Right. If you think about it, maybe deciding on this dedication will be part of the secret conversation."

Ey-fa approached me from soaking across, put his hand around my neck, fixed the head position to about the same height, and then said, "What do you mean?," he whispered.

Is this guy serious?

"No, it's not good to think of Hamburg as a classic dish by the woods, is it? Or so, if you give a deceptive explanation, you can even spread the word about your relationship with Lou and Rutim. I think you should decide how much information you want to publish around it."

But I have to whisper to Ai-Fa, too.

It's close. Are you gonna choke me to death?

But no matter how much you hold your breath, it's super close enough for the fragrance particles to creep into your nasal cavity.

I've just eaten between meals, but I'm even aroused by a new appetite for the scent of Ey-Fa.

Ai-Fa tilts her neck a little and then leans her lips against my ear again.

"... why?

"Um, come on! Wouldn't it have to be a whisper if you just hit the hammer!?

"So is that," he responds, turning his ear again.

Do I have to whisper after all?

"Er, no. That old man's like he's connected to a lord, isn't he? It's a misunderstanding to blow the wrong information into someone like that. Or is it not the first time you talk too much about the inside feelings of Lou and Rutim to that Jen who seems to have such a bad feeling about the Sung family?

"... but isn't that man already met Donda-Lou and even known that we were involved in the feast?

Whispers.

I think I'm about to melt my right earlobe.

"Right. So, what's important... is the part where Donda-Lou hides or reveals to that old man that he looks like he wants to smash down the Sung family if he gets a chance"

This question required constant reticence.

Having consumed a lot of strength, I'll sit back on the floor and try to follow Aria at my fingertips waiting for her turn.

"But I figured..."

"Uh-huh!

"What. Don't be surprised, fool."

"Oh, it's this way that surprised me, idiot! Don't whisper from behind all of a sudden!

"... that's about the sign, you know?

"Unfortunately, I don't have as good a perception as a hunter! Please, if you want to approach me, you need to approach me from within my sight!

"You're a nasty man......" he said dissatisfied, and I-Fa crouched in front of me.

And then he grabs my mandible, he turns around, and then he looks at me.

"But after all, there is a chance that the man himself might come into contact with Donda-Lou, so it would be inexplicable to hide it poorly. … of course, I don't have the courtesy to actively teach you."

Okay. There's nowhere to escape.

I'm sure this is God or something is giving me a test of reason and humanity.

God, it's so annoying.

"Okay. Let's wrap up the gist. Ey-fa, what do you think you shouldn't tell that man?

Ai-Fa, again, reticed.

It's about 10 centimeters up my nose.

It is a distance where the knee is likely to bump after a little physical movement.

Tough to tear down.

Eventually, Ai-Fa raised her face and hastily turned to my ear, spraying her last words.

"... nothing in particular"

"You don't!

Reflectively, I almost snapped that head.

Ey-fa makes her lips squeeze like a shin. At such close range.

"Are you the one who told me what the secret conversation was about? Don't you have your thoughts? If there is, just let me hear it."

So, I turn to the pussy.

Do you want me to whisper to you again?

I wonder what. I already feel as tired as yesterday's big job.

"So. You think of the Sung family as a shame by the woods yourself, but you can't stand being cut off by the people in the capital, can you? For example - if that old man puts a sin around Dodd-Sung and pushes him to death and heels, will that old man become like the enemy of the people by the woods?

Ey-fa frowned in disgust.

So, it's not a whisper, it usually responds.

"If the Sung people are to be judged by the laws and codes of the capital, it is a sin on the side that has broken the code. If that's what you're talking about, there's no vengeance or grudge. … but it is an insult to us that the people of the capital bring up the name of upholding forestside discipline, etc., and if they are trying to pawn the people of the forest as a means of doing so, it feels like a spurious ploy"

Hmm. It's a little hard to interpret. If you have broken the law of the capital, can the people of the capital judge you, and if you have broken the code of the forest, can the people of the forest judge you?

"Hmm... but in fact, the Sungs are breaking the code, right? Still, as things stand, there's no one by the woods who can judge it, is there?

"What are you talking about? I've never missed a single Sung family outrage."

"I know that. I think it's amazing.... but not everyone by the woods can act like I = fa, right? Even yesterday, they all looked amazing and endured the tyranny of the Sung family until their parents moved, didn't they?

"I can't possibly be hostile to the Sung family without parental forgiveness. I'm a parent myself, so I'm free to behave."

"Well, that's an unpleasant question...... I wonder if the little house folks who are not family members of Lew continue to endure even the atrocities of the Sung family?

Ey-Fa bit his lip a little bit and even looked up at my face, then said.

"No matter how chieftaincy, if the tabernacle were to appear in a violent manner, all the people might rely on the house of Lou. You should be putting yourself in control without those crazy people to make sure that doesn't happen."

"Even the surface can't be evil, so it's the back where evil happens."

…………

"I = fa. You're strong. So I could give solemnity to the evils of Diga-Sung and Dodd-Sung. But if people with no strength like you are crying in the shadows - after all, I don't think I can forgive them."

"... I only have the power to stop the atrocities in front of me"

And i-fa grabbed my chest.

It's not such a rambling trick, it's kind of like taking it.

"All I can bear is myself. So..."

So have you lived alone?

Is that why my personality has become a burden?

And I nod, and lay my hands upon the hands of Ai-Fa under my breasts.

"If it sounded like I was blaming you, I'm sorry. No one can forgive such outrage. So even the Luu and Rutim people must have been that mad.... By the way, is the power of the Sung family that powerful? I know you have nearly a hundred families on par with Lou, but I wonder if all of those families are talking about the Sung family or something?

"I don't know. I don't even know which house is the Sung family."

"Oh yeah.... but no way, not everyone in my family is corrupt?

"I don't know that either.... but if all of the more than a hundred Sung family members hadn't fulfilled the giva hunting crusade, the woods would be flooded with giva"

"Right. If a hundred out of 500 were corrupt, how much or whatever -" then I remembered the ominous words.

"... Speaking of which, Rudd-Lou said 'too many gibbers' or something. Giva, who usually doesn't herd, came in with about three heads, and that Sin-Lu's father got hit in the leg. So they asked me what happened to the woods over at Fa's house lately..."

While grabbing my chest, Ai-Fa gave me a slightly harsh look.

"If you answer that, you'll already be the day after I met you, Asta."

"Huh?"

"You've been asking me if the people of the woods keep hunting for about fifty givahs a day and the givahs won't go extinct. In doing so, I replied that Giva is growing year after year rather than decreasing."

…………

"The number of givahs is definitely increasing. It's certainly a harvest cycle now, but still a slightly unusual number. … to be honest, so many gibberishes have flooded the forest this harvest without the need for gibberish fruit, etc."

"Huh? So Ai-Fa hasn't done a 'sacrifice hunt'?

"The last few days, I haven't. Still one head every two days."

"Really? Oh, that's crazy. So this sweet smell wasn't the smell of gibberish fruit?

Occasionally, Ai-Fa has turned his face bright red and put his strength into his fingertips grabbing his chest.

"The smell of gibberish fruit is hard to get rid of when it comes to hair! And you've always told me not to throw up a joke about what I smell like, Asta?

"No, just as a compliment..."

"Odd!...... anyway, the number of givahs keeps increasing year after year"

"Right. But Rud-Lew wasn't so sure about that, was he? It felt like that at best."

"... the settlement of Luu is more south than my house. Sung's settlement is north of my house"

While he still leaves a little redness on his cheeks, Ai-Fa puts a fire of fierceness in his eyes.

"So not what, but assuming the Sung family continues to abandon their work as hunters, the impact will come in order from the north side,"

"... so, the feeling of i-fa is that the number of givahs keeps increasing year after year"

This may be - things are more urgent than I had in mind.

Leaving aside my tiny sense of justice, morality, etc., maybe I'm just overlooking the decadence of the Sung family, and the existential significance of the people by the woods could collapse - huh?

"...... ai-fa. Maybe this guy isn't talking about something that's out of our hands. Wouldn't that old man be supposed to deepen his rapport with Lou and Rutim and not us?

"It will be for no reason"

"Huh? Why?

"Think about Donda-Lou's temper. If the depravity of the Sung family crossed the line, the man is going to take the sword without hesitation. We don't need the power of the Stone Capital or anything like that, we'll try to restore order to the woods with our own hands. - I don't know what that feels like."

Thus Ai-Fa breathed heavily in the way Ai-Fa and others did.

"Because I know how that feels, I didn't want to be the spark of that feud. If Lew's family and Sung's family were to contend in total, many hunters would be lost and the order by the woods would collapse completely."

"But still, you don't want to rely on the power of the stone capital..."

I just had to take a sigh, too.

In such a pressing situation, I and I-Fa gained knowledge with the inhabitants of the Stone Capital as they did with the Supreme Power of Genos.

I wonder what the hell kind of role they're trying to make Fa's house, where only two family members exist, be it God or the devil?

For now, as a weak or weak person, I only saw that I could do enough to grind meat for my husband and my guests.
