133 ③ Blue Moon 12 - Forestside Edge

It was just about midway between Jomtien and sunset when I got home to Fa's.

I meant to talk to Camua quite a bit, but I was able to come home for an hour at a time.

"It's no hiccup to come to Fa's house either..." he says, lowering the ingredients for tomorrow that Vina-Lou had on his back to the front door.

I have iron plates, cookware and fruit liquor.

I no longer need to carry a heavy iron pan, making my way home a lot easier than before. - Even so, there are 12 or 3 kilos of iron plates, and the ingredients are just over 60 Poitans and just over 20 Arias, plus 4 fruit liquors and tarapas and Myrmu and Guigo.

I also put my stuff down, and I was about to say thank you and goodbye, and Vina-Lou said, "Oh...?" and raised a suspicious voice.

"Hey, it just kind of sounds more noisy behind the house...?

"Ah, yes. I'm supposed to teach the men in the neighborhood today how to bleed and dismantle Giva."

Still, I needed confirmation one day, so I decided to go around the back of the house with Vina-Lou.

It was Ai-Fa and the six men who were waiting for me there.

On the biggest tree beside Kama, a 80-kilogram giva hangs securely.

"Oh, Asta, you're home"

"I'm home now.... You could have just caught Gibba."

"Mm-hmm. The Fou and Run men hunted. I don't know if the blood drain was successful until I saw the taste."

Ai-Fa, whose left arm injury has not yet fully recovered, is unable to perform his job as a hunter. But my neighbor's family sent me a promise yesterday that they would teach me blood loss and demolition when they hunted Gibba.

(Is it the Fou and Lan families? But Run was Fou's family.)

If I had thought of it that way, the smallest of the six men would have looked back at me.

Small, and cool skinny, but quite an older man. The blackish hair is all over, and the glowing eyes are black. The light black skin is engraved with deep wrinkles and looks a little monkey.

"Asta at Fa's house. That was a long time ago. Are we gonna get ready for dinner already?

"No. First there is the culinary planting work to be used in commerce, so the order of the dinner is then"

"Right. But wouldn't just keeping an eye on the work be a good training for the ladies?

The appearance is a lot shady, but it seems to be quite an active temper.

I don't hate this type that much or don't like it that much.

I was just worried about something.

There were only two fangs and horns hanging from the skinny man's chest.

I hardly see a man with as much accomplishment around his neck as I = fa in a small family, but nevertheless, it is quite rare that there are two.

"Right. If you could come within the bright, you would also be able to teach more," I replied, the man stared at I-Fa as he pleaded.

"Parents of Fa's house. Before you learn the art of demolition, would you mind calling in the ladies? I still have fast legs. I promise it won't take that long."

"It doesn't matter. Let's get rid of the fur before we gut it out."

"Never mind," he exclaimed, while the little man ran away.

Sure, not as handsome as Dan-Rutim, but pretty handsome.

"... you're some kind of boring man. Was he so temperamental?"

And it was the head of Fou's house who spoke.

This one is skinny but a long man.

"Isn't that one Fou's family? When I asked," That's Sudra's parent, "the answer returned.

So I remembered. If Sudra, it is the other person who, along with Fou and Ratz, endorsed the business of Fa's house. It was dark in the sacrificial hall, so I couldn't even look at it until I looked at it, but speaking of which, I also feel like I was a little person.

"Still, how easy it is to prepare dinner. Will you take care of that, Asta at Fa's house?

"Yes. I have a job too, so I can't teach you exactly. I guess it's a lot different just to learn how to bake Poitan first."

In my words, Fou's parents move their expressions too.

"Poitan... but will it take the right amount of work to change Poitan to that shape?

"That's well, it's just a lot of work compared to simmering in a pan. No matter how much meat you take, you'll ruin the Poitan just the way it's always been."

Meermoo grills and hamburgers, for example, are the dishes that need training. but "delicious supper" can be achieved, along with giva meat drained of blood, if even the skill of baked poitane is mastered first.

"I don't use a lot of Kamana in my planting work, so if you can bring me a Poitan and an iron pan, you can make it here, right? It's a lot of work, but it's not that hard to cook."

"... Fou's house just wanted to learn the art of changing the taste of Giva's meat in order to get a rich life. Not for our own supper."

And, after stating it with a difficult face, Fou's parents lowered their brow butts.

"But... if it is not a burden on Asta, would it be possible to ask the women of Fou and Lan's house to do the same?

"I don't mind. This hassle won't change if I explain it to you."

"Hey," my parents call me, and one of the men rushes out.

I dropped that back off, and then I-Fa said, "Is it time?," he tilted his neck.

"I don't have enough power in my left arm yet, so I'd like to leave the peeling job to you."

"Whatever. I'm sorry. I'll get right to it."

With that said, Fou's parents and their families pulled out their knives and swarmed under Gibba.

Humans of clans everywhere gather in the house of Fa and join hands to encourage them to work. It's kind of an emotional sight.

Fa's house and they were not family or anything, but they are a people by the woods with only over 500 people, so I guess we should join forces with people within reach in this way as much as possible.

Dan-Rutim and Meer Ray's mother called me and Ai-Fa friends.

Gazran-Rutim said the people by the forest should continue to rebuild their relationship.

That should be great if you can get along this way with the folks at Fou and Run and Sudra and call them friends sooner or later.

I = fa looked kind of very uncomfortable, but I think that's an unmistakable thing.

"... I'm so glad the Sung family is gone..."

And suddenly Vina-Lou snapped at me like that and surprised me.

"Oh, you weren't home yet. Good day, Vina-Lou"

"What is that... it's a little terrible...?

Vina-Lou gets a little upset and scowls at me with a very grudgingly upbeat look.

"Shh, excuse me. I was just thinking.... Well, then, I-Fa, I'll start working on the planting in the house. When the Fou and Sudra women arrive, they can stay home, right?

"Uhm."

Me and Vina-Lou turned back to the house with Gibba slowly revealing her white nakedness on her ass.

"Oh, good luck. Tomorrow, please."

"... why are you trying to drive me back like that...? Asta is a terrible person..."

"Huh? Yeah, 'cause Vina-Lou would have a job, too, right?

The stall business ended an hour early, so Vina-Lou should be spending that hour collecting firewood.

but Vina-Lou started twisting her body colorfully as she twisted her chestnut hair with both hands.

"I don't want to go home... I have Sung's youngest brother waiting for me at home..."

"... Mida's not a Sung family or her youngest brother anymore, is she? I know what's on your mind, but shouldn't we be clear there?

"I just know that... but I'm not feeling it..."

Vina-Lou was completely in mourning.

This is what it looks like. I guess this is really coming in because the contents are Vina-Lou, which is solid just for the men.

Or so it was my parents Donda-Lou who decided to welcome Mida to the Lou family, and there is no longer an escape anywhere.

I wonder what this is all about, and I'm haunting my head with it too - a bunch of unexpected people have shown up from the side of the road.

"Asta, it's a hiccup. You were already home from Inn Town."

Gazran-Rutim was at the forefront of this.

I naturally smile back at that look, which I miss and depend on.

"It's a hiccup. I didn't expect to see you here."

I had heard in what form the discussion with Camua-Josh had ended, sending a messenger to hear it, but I had no idea that Gazran-Rutim would come.

And the presence of those who refrained behind it cannot be ignored either.

It was - Rau-Ray, the head of the Ray family, and Yamir.

"I was going to make you wait at Fa's house, but you were a lot quicker. Were you able to meet with Camua-Josh?

While I care more about Yamir, who doesn't try to look at me while I'm nagging, I say yes.

"After all, she can't move her work schedule. So, if the Sauties would take the lead, we'd like to have a meeting tomorrow."

That's how I tried to explain exactly what Camua told me.

Gazran-Rutim, finished listening, nods his thick neck "I see".

"Then you should come to the castle in the morning and meet someone named Camua-Josh afterwards. Mostly as expected. … I will also be accompanying the Three Chiefs to those talks"

"Really! Then you can rest assured!

That's what I said wholeheartedly, but Gazran-Rutim shook his head, "It's outrageous," he said.

"It's an honor to have Asta say that, but it's just me and a bunch of martial arts woodland guys. I am full of anxiety about how far we can correctly exchange words with the inhabitants of Stone Capital."

Still, with all of Mitsujin like Donda-Lu and Graf-Zaza, it could really be a noise to see blood.

Plus - Kamua-Josh and Gazran-Rutim finally meet face to face.

How does that neat man appear in the eyes of this wise and honest Gazran-Rutim? Just thinking about it that way makes me beat a little faster.

"By the way - was Yamir supposed to pick it up at the Ray house?

To my words, the young man, the head of the Ray family, nodded forcefully, "Oh."

"But that's up to you.... and watch your words, Asta?

Yes, it was. This young man is forbidden to speak politely.

But I was more concerned about the first half of the words than that.

"What's up to me? No way, we should pick up Yamil at Fa's house, or something?

"The reverse, the reverse. Ray's settlement is closer to Fa's house than Sung's. The other parents were so noisy about letting people who were after your lives live in such close proximity."

I don't know where Ray's settlement is, but it must be Rutim's neighborhood because it was about the women getting cooking guidelines from Ama Min-Lutim. Then there should be more than an hour's distance when it comes to nearby.

Besides - now that Sung's main house is destroyed, I don't think Yamir is going to do us any harm again.

"I don't mind that at all. The women wouldn't be in that much danger."

Yamir finally raised that surface in a slightly hazy way.

Black eyes stare at my face like it's coming.

"... I see you were right about Gazran-Rutim," Rau-Ray rambled up her long, golden hair.

"Then let's keep this poisonous bitch at the Ray's. Hey, if this goes any further than your obscene imitation, I'll snap your neck on the spot, okay? I'm not a forgiving person with a bunch of women, I am."

"Hey, hey... what do you mean, Gazran-Rutim?

To my words, Gazran-Rutim looked a lot more sorry.

"Excuse me. If Asta didn't accept to pick it up at the Ray's, she was supposed to pick it up at Zaza or Sutty's.... not as a family, but as prisoners"

"Prisoner?"

"Yes, this Yamir should be taken away from Fa's house in a settlement far north or south," he said, "but Zaza and Satti didn't really try to respond, and if they still had to be taken away, they would have to tie their hands and feet and treat them like prisoners,"

"Oh no! Doesn't that change the language and content of Donda-Lou?

"So if I can feel Kyoujun's will to see how it goes, he said, I'll give him a little freedom.... then I suggested I pick it up in Lou or Rutim, but I have a lot of opinions that I shouldn't even be allowed to live in the same settlement as my original family -"

"So Ray was chosen to be second only to Lou and Rutim."

With a fierce grin on the neutral side, Rau-Ray comes the words.

"That didn't bother me at all, but the North and the South were loud. Then we talked about charting the way with Asta's words that were actually going to hurt us. Gazran-Rutim said on the road so far that Asta would accept it, but that's exactly what happened."

"I can't believe you decided the end of one human being with one of my words..."

"Isn't that nice? Because you almost twisted the end of the line with one of these poisonous women's ideas."

With that said, Rau-Ray pointed a sharper glance at Yamir.

"Hey, Poison Lady, let me just check one last time. Do you swear from now on you'll live by the woodland code? Can you, of course, make Fa and Ray's family compatriots of all the forestside people and live righteously in them?

Once Yamil laid her eyes down, she turned her gaze to me again.

There was still a lot of blood odor from that body, so I don't feel comfortable with anything.

"Asta.... I thought of destroying Fa's house? Even Digga and Dodd actually moved, but I was the one who gave Meremele leaves and instructed her how to move. If you hate Digga or Dodd, shouldn't that hatred be directed at me, too?

"You don't feel like hating... That's how I actually felt on that occasion, but as it turns out, both I and I-Fa are safe, so if you swear you won't imitate me like that again in the future - I won't hate you."

Yamir's dark eyes felt a twinkle as if he was trying to keep his passion under control.

The face was as faceless as ever, but there was no once viper vibe. The only time Yamir looked like a viper was when he hung his lips up and laughed.

"Hey, I've had enough time to think about it before. If you don't feel comfortable living by the code, say so honestly. With my sword, I will give you rest."

Rau-Ray screws up in such a short or similar tone.

But Yamir said, staring into my eyes.

"I will obey your word.... though I don't think I deserve to be saved."

"Hmm. The one who won't forget his hatred anywhere."

Rau-Ray grabbed Yamir's sneaky mandible and forced his beautiful face to twist to himself.

"Then you are Yamil-Ray from today on. If you sin, I'll slap your parents in the neck. Keep that in mind and live hard."

"Do you already give Mr. Ray, Rau-Ray?

When Gazran-Rutim said that to his surprise, Lau Ray rambled Yamil's face and then snorted "Hum".

"I don't like turkey things. If you sin anyway, you will be executed in the same way, so giving or not Mr. will make no difference. I don't like family without him because I don't feel comfortable."

Is it rough because of the young man?

But Yamil deserves a man who pushes his back and pulls his arm so hard right now.

So I decided to say thank you, Rau-Ray, in all honesty.

Then, suddenly, he was crushed in the middle of his forehead.

It is the arm power of the men by the woods. I was probably unconscious for just a moment and when I realized I was falling behind.

"I told you I'd beat you up if I used polite language? I'm not even the kind of guy who'd forgive you for being disrespectful twice a day, I am."

"Please don't, Rau-Ray. What would you do if Fa's parents saw you?... Are you okay, Asta?

Caused by Gazran-Rutim's powerful arms.

My vision was shaking.

"Stay with me. It's okay, I guess.... hey! Don't you think he beat you up? I thought you had a broken skull!

"Yes, yes. That's how you talk normally."

And Rau-Ray turned that way, while he put out his tongue.

The rating that makes Rudd-Lou feel a little grown-up - let's reiterate. Rudd-Lou or less children, this is what.

"Um, come on, then let me tell you, how come it's obvious that the older Gazran-Rutim behaves so politely, and I'm the only one who gets to bear the hard work? You're the head of the family, so you can let me use some polite language, too, right?

"Gazran-Rutim is the one who talks like this even in a 10-year-old. This is a man who can only speak cheaply to the women he likes."

"Please don't. I'm ashamed of myself, Rau-Ray."

Gazran-Rutim frowns, looking troubled sometime.

Then - out of nowhere, I heard a voice called "puff".

The three of us take a look, and Yamir falls back on his face.

He's hiding his mouth with his right hand, so I don't know what look he's wearing.

"What, you're a thick nervous woman after all -" he said, and Rau-Ray quickly looked back.

Almost at the same time, Gazran-Rutim sees the same.

All five meters away, the people by the woods stood solidified.

Two men and four women holding iron pots - the men are the parents of Sudra and the family of the Fou family who went to call the women.

I take a breath when I realize the men have their fingertips on the knife pattern on their hips.

"You're the head of the Ray family. Next up for the Sung family is that the Rays have turned to the enemies of the Fa family?

Sudra's parents have described it that way in a shady voice.

I had no idea what that meant, but Lauray-Ray shrugs his shoulder "Oh".

"Did I hit Asta? Don't get me wrong, you lying bastards. That's because Asta broke her promise to me, and I just gave her the sanctions she deserved. This will not shake the bond between Lew's family and Fa."

And Rau-Ray suddenly teased my left arm around my neck.

"As you can see, Asta admits to her own nonsense, so there's nowhere to include me either. If you find out, pull that noisy look in."

Sudra's parents and Fow's family turn their exploratory gaze back to me.

I don't remember admitting my inaction, but I'm going to have to pull this off.

"Yes. Lew's ties to his family remain unchanged. Don't worry about anything. … Shall we begin the cooking process?"

So the men finally took their hands off the knife, and the women were able to breathe relief.

With my neck in restraint, Rau-Ray said, "What are you talking about the cooking tricks, Asta?" He asks.

"Let the Sudra and Fou women know how to bake Poitan. Would you like to learn, Rau-Ray?

I couldn't get enough of my stomach, so I meant to provoke him a little bit, but Rau-Ray said, "Is that how you bake Poitan!" I let my eyes shine.

"That's good! I'll have to go learn at Rutim's house! Hey, Yamil-Ray, you learn that skill in this place! So tell that to the women of Ray!

"... me?," Yamil says, hissing her brow.

Looks like my expression is starting to move, really, just a little bit.

"In the Sung family, Kamadu was a branch job. Though I think I am less useful than a ten-year-old."

"Then get even more trained. You're not from the Sung family anymore, you're from the Ray family."

Rau-Ray finally let go of his hand from my neck, and now, he's poking his chest more and more.

"That's why it's nice to meet you. If this guy imitates anything strange, I'll slap him on the spot. Don't worry."

"I don't mind that. Without Poitan, we won't be able to make it to dinner tonight, will we? Everyone else is going to cook a potato for supper while they're at it."

"What!? That's trouble!

and Rau-Ray looked back at the people of Sudra and Fou in a hurry.

"Hey! I'm sorry, but if you have a Poitan stockpile at home, sell it to me with these fangs and horns! You can return just the same number tomorrow! No, not the same number, put some up and give it back!

"... how many do you need?

"Ray's family is nineteen!

Then you'll need nearly forty of them.

Sudra's parents shook their necks sideways with a sinister face, and Fou's family gave ears to the women behind her.

"... let's get Poitan out of Fou and Run's house. It's a hassle to go down to the lodging town, so I'd like it back in Poitan if possible."

"Right! Then I'll leave the horns and fangs, so keep them till I bring you a Poitan tomorrow! I owe you, I owe you a run for the fou!

One of the ladies rushes back down the road she came from.

Rau-Ray was smiling satisfactorily, and Gazran-Rutim was - just so, grinning bitterly.

And Yamil is nagging again and hiding that look with her long hair.

"... I'm starting to think the Sung family's punishment for humans was kind of sweet. Wow..."

And a low, hissing voice came from behind me.

I look back and round my eyes.

"Oh, speaking of which, you hadn't left yet, Vina-Lou"

That's how I was given the meat of my arms, and Yamir was given - Mr. Ray, and he was to live as Yamir-Ray.
