135 ⑤ Blue Moon 13 - Encounter

The next day, "Giva Burger" 60 meals and "Meermoo Grill" were set as regular business after returning to 90 meals.

If it were to be based in Pha's house, it would still be about the right amount.

Nevertheless, the time spent baking potatoes and patties at home could be considerably shortened by purchasing iron plates, so if I tried a little harder, I would have had an eye for about 20 to 30 more meals. I didn't dare choose that path. If I could relax in my life, it was a prospect that I would turn it to other jobs.

If you succeed at the Great Tree Pavilion in the South, a request for work may also come from another inn. Towards that end, I decided to develop a new contribution.

"... but it kind of sold out today, didn't it? Even two days after I left the store, I sold out 170 meals."

Lara-Luu, lined up next door, called me that way.

At the end of the first peak of the morning, 'Giva Burger' has 25 meals left and 'Myrmu Grill' has 41 meals left. Sure, this is a sale that's not that bad, even compared to yesterday.

"Well, I couldn't sell out even 150 meals before, so I guess I'll settle down one of these days. I'm not planning on taking a break from the store for a while."

And lately, I don't see customers complaining about early behavior. Wouldn't it be better to withdraw early, then, and to have a smaller bang with everyone else in the stall?

I think it's hard to balance this place. We sell snacks and dried meats in the stalls, and even wholesale food to the inn - although we are steadily expanding our business. If you attack too actively, your peer's dissatisfaction and counter-invention may explode. You're afraid of the people of the woods, there's no shop that stands out and hostiles you, but even this one can't turn the people of the west against the enemy.

So, as far as I'm concerned, wholesale food to the inn can reduce street sales, so I was thinking about it.

Though people as enthusiastic as the Aldas seem to be in the mood to eat Giva meat dishes day and night. If Giva can be eaten at dinner, I don't think it's okay to keep snacks as a caron or a kimus - or even if a layer of thinking occurs.

We are now striving to popularize Giva cuisine, but the ultimate aim is "symbiosis".

I want to anchor Giva's meat as a common ingredient, like Kimmus and Karon, not as a temporary movement. Since I have only been in business for half a month, it may be premature to aim for stability alone, but I wanted to keep the conversation fully in mind.

"Is that it, Asta, the people by the woods?

And Lara-Lew suddenly pulls my sleeve.

I moved my gaze over there, and I said, "That?" and I was to lean my neck.

"What's up? The job comes from Jomtien, right?

"Yes, I came down early because I want to get some training"

That was the Sudra ladies, who also handled the cooking yesterday.

His name is Li-Sudra. He is the daughter-in-law of Sudra's parents.

He's a slender, tall, pretty beauty. The dark brown hair is cut around the chest, and the color of the eyes is dark blue. I think the parents are about halfway through the forty, but they only look about half that age.

"Are you okay with your work at home? You didn't get a lot of money for coming early, did you?

"Of course, I'm confused," Li Sudra smiled calmly at Lara-Luu's words, not quite reluctantly.

"The work of the house has been done properly. I was honored to help Asta in Fa's house, so I want to encourage her to help me as soon as possible."

They are elegant without distinction, but they are unbeatable and active in their partner's temper.

As far as I'm concerned, I'm happy.

"Now let me remind you from that street job over there. Lara-Lew, I just took turns, but I'm moving over there."

"Yes."

Now, me and Lara-Lew had a Gibba Burger. I also spoke to Vina-Lou as he moved to the "Myrmou Grill" stall.

"Excuse me. Li-Sudra has arrived, so I'll be in charge of 'Myrmu Grill' for a while. Vina-Lou would like" Gibba Burger "again."

Vina-Lou turned away from her face and then went back to 'Gibba Burger'.

This has always been the case since my crude phase yesterday.

It is also very rare for Vina-Lou to have such personal feelings at work. That's all I meant was that I was a detour. I'm really sorry, it's distressing.

"Sheila-Lou, this is Li-Sudra. As I explained in the morning, I will have this Li-Sudra help from Jomtien for a while, thank you very much."

"Yes," Sheila-Lou salutes, and Li-Sudra bows her head, "Regards," too.

"When the order comes in, Sheila-Lou will cook. Li-Sudra receives two red copper coins from customers and hands them the dish. So far, no one has shown up to take away the food, but be sure to receive the copper coins first. - And keep a close eye on Sheila-Lou's movements so that you can create your own dishes in any case"

"Yes."

I don't have a small mouth count, but I seem very honest, and I don't feel any feelings or feelings for the Lew family. My first impression was that it felt pretty good.

There, further visitors from the woodland appeared.

Oh, my God, it's Gazran-Rutim.

"That? That was a long time ago, wasn't it?

Like Li-Sudra, Gazran-Rutim's visit should have been scheduled for Jomtien.

Gazran-Rutim thanks the two ladies before sending me "Asta".

"I interrupted you here because I finished my interview with a man from a castle called Cycleus. I'm sorry, could you give me a moment?

"Yes, I understand.... then, Sheila-Lou, for a moment, please. When the first customer arrives, show him a sample."

Face-to-face with Gazran-Rutim in Accommodation Town is somewhat odd.

Besides, when the men from the woods show up, the passers-by's gaze is less and the color of vigilance is frightened. We decided to step away from the stall and lean into the jungle behind us.

"I'm sorry to interrupt your work. But I wanted to hear Asta's opinion as soon as possible. Donda-Lou and the others are lurking in the streets without going into town."

"I don't mind. I was only curious about your situation.... How was Cycleus?

"Yes. In a nutshell, it's pretty nasty. Zaza's parents, for example, have become very outraged. … Cycleus has said that all the Sung people should be handed over to Genos"

"Huh?"

"Roughing up the grace of the mountains of Morga is a contraindication laid down by the laws of Genos. If you are a sinner who has broken the law, you have said that it would be reasonable for Genos to judge you."

Gazran-Rutim was a depositional face as usual.

However, in the dark blue eye of its colour, there is a very serious light.

"That may be so...... are you telling me to hand over all the people in the main house to Genos as well as the parents and previous parents?

"No. All the people who broke the contraindications. Forty-one members of the Sung family, all of whom should be brought to justice."

That would have been an unimaginable request.

While I instantly remember my anger, I still try to pretend to be "I see" and calm.

"Should I have assumed that? Maybe I was a little sweet looking at the castle people, too.... but you're not talking about executing all of them, are you?

"Yes, he said peeling his head was a code set by the people by the woods, not the law of Genos. So the only answer I got to the question of what kind of punishment it was was, was that it required deliberation."

"Hmm... I'd like to have a word with you, but in what way were you supposed to meet that person named Cycleus?

"Yes, we left Sung's settlement at sunrise and wished to be followed by the guards at the back gate. We were also led to a large building outside the stone walls, where the sun just waited for about two minutes to move. So here comes Cycleus with about 20 guards in his outfit."

"Are there twenty? How many people were on this side?

"Three chiefs and one man at a time. And there are seven of them, including me. It was such a big building with so many people in it and so much relaxation."

"Really? By the way, were bandages allowed?

"No. The knife was to be kept at the entrance to the hall. Of course, all the guards were lowering their swords."

"I see," I said once more, and then I silenced myself for a while.

Other than the building ditty, I feel like I can easily imagine it.

Cycleus, the man of the castle, protected by seven men who were taken up by swords and as many as twenty guards. Lords are entrusted with negotiators with Forestside, perhaps aristocrats or ministers.

"So how did Donda-Lou and the others respond?

"Yes, when we discuss it in the Trinity Chiefs and decide the way. Cycleus was granted a ten-day respite."

"Is it ten days? That's quite a long time. … I wonder if that means we want to set a policy in the meantime…"

Don't miss hearing my monologue, Gazran-Rutim said, "What is the policy?" I've been asking.

"No, it's just my speculation, but isn't there a mayhem over there, this fact that the Sung family, which has reigned for eighty years as a chieftaincy muscle, suddenly lost its legs and lost control? Well, speculation based on the assumption that the castle people have no idea what's going on by the woods."

"Yes.... then what happens?

"Yeah, so in that situation, you think you're gonna need time to think over there, right? Until now, the secular Sung family was the opponent, so it could be appropriately revealed, but not by raw woodland men like Donda-Lu and the others. Isn't it reasonable to want to take the time to work out a response carefully?

"Really? Instead, it seemed like a lot of high-pressure attitude from the start."

"So isn't that a reversal of fear and vigilance towards the people of the woods?"

Think about it, I'll tell you my own story.

"I know this because I'm a town-grown person, too, but I think fear is considerable the first time I see someone like Donda-Lou or Graf-Zaza. If you think about whether you have to successfully hold the reins for these people in the future, isn't that distracting enough?"

"Yes. I think I know that"

"So there was also the implication that handing over all the Sung family people was a bluff - in other words, a threat. So maybe they wanted to see how the new chiefs would react, or maybe they were the first to show a strong attitude and try to secure the lead - anyway, I feel like cutting off the Sung people is not an end in itself, but an attempt to gain a spiritual advantage"

It's just my impression.

It is hard to believe that the man of the castle, who has ever passed through animism, suddenly seeks the solemnity of blood. Or even though there is no chance that there is a lurking plot to dispose of the Sung family as a whole, which was also a de facto "accomplice". Whatever it is, you can't just drink what they say.

"So I don't think we should bend our self-explanations either. Shouldn't we be negotiating stickily so that we can successfully accompany the rationale of the forest and the rationale of the capital?

"Forestside reason and capital reason"

"Yes. Donda-Lu decided to treat the Sung family this time, considering that they were also responsible for the depravity of all the people by the woods, right? It seems best to apply that logic to Genos first."

I'm not afraid that a young man like me can drag a lecture to an adult like Gazran-Rutim. Perhaps my unique perspective, which has lived in an environment that seems closer to Genos than by the woods, exists.

And yet, let me state my feelings and thoughts as I have been dealing with innocent people by the forest for a long time. I think that's all I can do.

"Needless to say, one of the factors that corrupted the Sung family is the unfair treatment of Castle Genos. How about we argue for our own reason on that point?

This is what I want to ask myself.

There is testimony that the Sung people were defended by the castle people even when they made noise in the lodging town.

When Mida broke out and destroyed the stall, a castle man came out and rounded it up.

When Dodd and we met, the guards tried to weigh the Sung family's claims.

In addition, it would be necessary to mention that when people in the town died in suspicious circumstances, there was no investigation by the woods.

With regard to the last point, although the killer has not yet been confirmed as a Sung family person. I can't let that happen.

"Do you feel like you've been defending the Sung family before, but you give back your palms once you've lost your legs, and you smell the claim that that's the law of Genos?"

"Smell it in the dark, is it? Asta is imposing a very difficult test on us."

and Gazran-Rutim smiled a little troubled.

"But I know what you're trying to say. In short, we can't solve everything by cutting off the Sung family at once, so we should look for the right path together."

"Yes. That must be Donda-Lou's chosen path. I could wholeheartedly agree with that theory."

I suppose it was undoubtedly the response of the ruling class of Genos who applauded the depravity of the Sung family first.

No matter how corrupt the Sung family is, if the people by the woods had done their job properly, there would be no complaints - perhaps that's how many ideas they had in mind.

"For example, if you cut off as many as 41 humans, you will lack the strength to fight as a hunter. So there's going to be more damage to the fields in Genos, but didn't that talk about around it?

"No. But if the Sung family hadn't fulfilled their job as hunters in the past few years, they returned the problem because even if those sinners were lost from the woodside, the status quo could be maintained."

"I knew it. I thought that would happen anyway. Castle people don't pay that much attention to the fields on the south side."

New anger and frustration are twisted again.

"In the last few years, there has been supposed to be more damage to Giva in the southern fields. I was a little caught up in the story that the wall protecting the northern fields had been completed many years ago, but I wonder why the southern fields were left alone. If it was as much damage as it is now, it would be a waste of effort to build a wall, I'm sure."

Of course, if the damage continues to expand, there will be a shadow over the prosperity of the Accommodation Town, and that will also affect the prosperity of Genos as a whole.

But if it's as harmful as it is now, there's no problem.

"But the people in town think differently. In fields close to the woodland, there should be enough damage to make you want to wreck your neck. Do you think the argument that such damage should not be abandoned - is right for the people by the woods?

To my question, Gazran-Rutim leaned his neck strangely.

"I don't know. A little more, please."

"Yes, he says a person named Cycleus doesn't mind maintaining the status quo, but I think that's probably because there's no damage in the north field that it's noble property. However, damage has been done in the fields on the south side, which are the property of the townspeople. We need more power than ever to protect you, so we need the Sung family to do their job as hunters."

"I see. So the Sung people, except Zazz-Sung and Zulo-Sung, should be allowed to do their jobs properly as forestside people, rather than handing them over to the castle, right? I think that word is very correct."

"Thank you. Still, if the castle man persists in his theory, he can also ask if that means he doesn't need to protect the fields on the south side or anything else. … Now that the people of Moribe also have the opportunity to interact with the people of the Inn Town, even the people of the castle should not be taken lightly. If you say something far-fetched, you risk passing it on to the people in the lodging town."

So finally, it seems that Gazran-Rutim got my intentions right, too.

Strong, glowing blue eyes stare at my face.

"Okay. You weren't the only one harmed by the depravity of the Sung family by the woods. Instead, it was the people of the castle who suffered direct damage, and the people of the castle had a duty to correct it."

"That's right. Had the men of the castle given justice to the sins of the Sung family from the beginning, the people of the Inn Town might not have suffered either. And there should have never been more scared or scorned than the people by the woods are now. It's not the law or anything to cut off all of the Sung family in a way that leaves those past sins nasty and lid on smelly things. It will only be the solemnity of the dictator, weighing only our own interests"

After I screwed up like that, I gave it back to me all the time.

"... excuse me. I got a little excited. That's my personal affair, so don't worry too much."

"No. I share Asta's opinion.... and I understood correctly what Rudd-Lou was saying"

"Huh? What's wrong with Rud-Lew?

"Yes, when the Sung family's second brothers attacked him, Rudd-Lou said Asta, who led him through Ai-Fa, had eyes like a hunter. Asta had such a harsh side to it."

I kind of feel like Vina-Lou said the same thing very recently.

I eat all of Giva's meat every day, so I've been equipped with a little hunter's harshness for me and others like this, I guess?

I don't even have that kind of awareness.

"... Anyway, you're what I'm trying to say. There are such disgraceful stories rampant in the Innkeeper Town about people taking crops from the woods, figuring out women, and killing people from the city well. Those sins should be so heavier than vandalizing the grace of the forest. Without judging those sins, I'm not convinced of the human ways in which the castle tries to incriminate the people of the division this time."

"Okay. I should have exchanged words with Asta more from the beginning, shouldn't I? If you think about those stories together, it does feel like you can take a lot of things with you."

"Yes. Maybe that's the monarch as a position, but on the other hand, we shouldn't be losing the people by the woods. There must be absolutely no need to follow promises and promises."

"That, of course, is correct. Zaza's parents and others even said that after the interview with Cycleus, maybe we should no longer remain in the land."

"Yeah? Does that mean dumping this woodland neighborhood and moving somewhere?

"Yes. Though a proxy, you cannot recognize a man as a monarch as vulgar as that. So that's how you said you should leave the land in search of a new forest, just like you did 80 years ago."

Gazran-Rutim smiled more calmly when he said that maybe he had been forced to fight for a month or two in the past six months.

"That's one right feeling for the people by the woods, though. So it could be a big factor in moving the human mind of the castle."

If I'm not really convinced, I'm even ready to throw this woodland away with me. That would certainly be the last trump card against the Lord of Genos.

"Right. That is why I think there is room for negotiation. Are the people of the castle going to spend the next ten days searching for the best way to go, with the heart that they can't lose the people by the woods, even though they are in a high-pressure attitude? I guess the heart of Graph-Zaza, but I think we should stick around and negotiate here, without any shortcomings."

"Yes. Got it. With Asta's words in mind, I would also like to look for the best path with the Trinity Chiefs. … I would like Asta to participate in the discussion."

"Hey, I'm not a clan member or anything..."

"Yeah. You can't let Asta carry that burden. I'm sorry to interrupt your important work."

And, at the end of the day, with a cool grin like his, Gazran-Rutim glanced over at the stall where Sheila-Rew and the others were encouraging him to work.

"A man in town is paying copper coins to the people by the woods and buying Guiba dishes. I've heard every bit of that achievement so far, and now I've finally been able to confirm it with my own eyes - but still, it's a difficult sight to believe at first sight. I will never waste the work of Asta for accomplishing all this work"

And now turn that gaze back behind my back.

"So is it time for a promise? I'm afraid you've gone all the way."

At the same time as I looked back a little, a long shadow emerged from between the groves.

"Hi, I'm afraid this is you. How did you get in? Are you okay now?

It is Kamua-Josh.

I'm going to make that smile look funny.

"Camua, why are you trying to surprise people like that? It's rude and annoying."

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to surprise you or interrogate you. In fact, there's no way you can stand up to an attentive hunter."

Camua-Josh, feather-woven with a skin-long cape, approaches with a chick in his usual condition.

If it's just height, the camouflage is better, but the physique and the like are incomparable. Gazran-Rutim, with an even physique by the ideal time as a hunter by the woods, and Camua-Josh, lean as a kamakiri, confront each other at a distance of about three metres.

"Are you Camua-Josh?"

"Yes, I'm Camua-Josh, who makes Guardian a business in the West Kingdom. Aren't you the head of the Sauti family?

If you were a camouflage peeking into this Gazran-Rutim wedding feast like no other, you wouldn't even be wrong to see the face of its protagonist.

Gazran-Rutim responded "Yes" in a calm manner.

"My name is Gazran-Rutim from the Rutim family, and I am a family member of Ruu. The head of the Sauti family, Dari-Sauti, is waiting for you there."

"Is it Gazran-Rutim? It's a pleasure to meet you."

The blue eyes of Gazran-Rutim, quiet as the sea, but with firm strength within it, and the purple eyes of Camua-Josh, unyielding as a child and clear as an old man, dazzle the gaze directly from the front.

I don't know - as much as Camua did when she visited Luu's settlement, I felt restless.

I can't feel any hostility or malice toward either of them, but rather the expression is too calm. Such bizarre air was beginning to pick up around the area as fae animals with tremendous powers seemed to observe you suspiciously.

"As for the work meeting in two days, I'm going to let two members of the Sauti family and three of mine disappoint me. But because of this, can I also say hello to the chiefs outside of Sauti?

"That's something you don't even wish for. This will be a small job for Moribe, so even for the Chiefs, you'll want to identify who I am."

That being said, Camua-Josh laughed at the garlic.

Gazran-Rutim turns to me quietly.

"Okay, let's go. Thank you, Asta."

"Oh, oh, yes"

"Bye, Asta. I'll give you the late one again, so just give me a break for running out of stock, will you?

"... Yes. If you prefer" Giva Burger, "please hurry."

So the two opposing masterpieces walked away from me very quietly.

It feels like a fox.

(I knew when Camua and the men by the woods met, this one I was looking at would get hiccups. Don't worry, Gazran-Rutim is such a person, but is Graf-Zaza something okay?

A few days before Rutim's feast, when Camua appeared sneaky in Luu's settlement, and so on, it really made me indulge in the thought that my life expectancy would shrink already.

Darm-Lew burned his eyes like a handy wolf and had been poking a knife at Camus for a long time. Donda-Lou surprisingly remained calm, but the men at the division were no longer looking swordswallowed, and...

(Oh well. By then, you had already passed on the story of letting the Forestside settlement pass to the Chamber of Commerce)

It was for this reason that Camua was wandering alone inside the woodland.

Still, he appeared in the settlement of Luu in search of the location of me and Ai-Fa, which he encountered in the town of Cebu.

Is that going to happen more than twenty days ago?

(... hmm?

At that time, some suspicion, like tampon cotton wool, blurred the back of my brain.

But I don't know who I am right now about what went wrong.

It's like I'm missing something important - like I had some casual words at the time that I was desperate to prepare for a feast that I didn't even think were so important.

(Who was saying what? Is that Camus? Is that Donda-Lou?

No matter how much I twisted my head, that answer didn't come down.

But I'm going back to the stall, too.

The fact that Camus showed up should mean that Jomtien is close by now. She just welcomed a rookie named Li-Sudra, but she totally left it to Sheila-Lou.

(We need to focus on the work in front of us. In less than an hour, we'll finally be at the Great Tree Pavilion in the South)

What a disgusting discomfort only left me, but I can't remember anything I can't remember. When I got to work, I decided to give it a head start and I ran back to the stall.

But the only time I remembered the identity of that suspicion was after all the incidents - and then a few days later.
