187 (11) Doubt and determination

After that, I was able to finish my afternoon job without anything.

The town is calm on the surface, too.

It also feels like the number of guards patrolling the heartless streets has increased, but nothing else has changed dramatically. The stall sales never fell below average, and sometimes customers said, "That sounds like a lot of trouble," and I just got a noise from the onions, and I didn't feel any slight dust anywhere about the move to suppress the people by the woods.

Perhaps that was the result of the suspicion attached to the human being in the castle rather than the increase in favor of the people by the woods.

The people of the woodland, only the Sung family of the chieftaincy were favoured by the people of the castle, and the rest of them were rather forced to live harsher lives than the people of the boarding town - a fact that seems to have penetrated quite well into the boarding town after the uproar caused by Tay-Sung and others.

As a result, the negative sentiments directed at the people by the woods eased not least, amplifying the castle's suspicion of man. Isn't that what I mean?

So even when they were told that a bandit had appeared in the garment of the people by the woods, the first thing they felt was such an atmosphere that people doubted the human sincerity of the castle and were wary of where the facts were.

(If that impression is correct, you Cycleus, look at me... because I can't be too happy)

It was Dora's father's farm that got attacked in the first place, so you can't be happy at that point.

Besides, only a minority favors the people by the woods.

The majority of the people are turning a sharp eye of judgment on the people of the woods at the same time as they are alert to the men of the castle.

Isn't it true that the people by the woods are a gathering of outlaws - now is not the time for it to be clearly presented, and it feels like such an air is spreading, like you're lurking your breath to determine it.

Together, the job itself could have been completed peacefully and safely.

On the other hand, in terms of its practice, various events had actually taken place.

First, in the Xuanrong Pavilion, the nail chose loin from four types of giva meat, and it was decided to add the baked dish to the dedication.

The cooking method is really simple, just cook the thinly sliced meat, let's just say.

However, the meat is served with a blend of chit-pickled juice, fruit liquor and various herbs.

We had a tasting, but it had a really spicy and exotic taste.

"It's not far from Asta's cooking, but it's probably cheaper, so I don't think she'll be complaining."

The dishes I bought are sold at a high price of five red copper coins to make a profit.

However, since it is a dish of giva meat purchased at the same price as carons, this can be sold for four red copper coins that are the same as carons' dishes.

"At least, if you have ten meals a day, you'll be able to sell them out without any problems.... And I'm thinking that Asta is going to sell 20 meals at a time on the day off from business, is it possible for you to sell that much the day before?

Nair, like Naudis, may be afraid that customers will flow to other accommodations.

"Absolutely," I promised.

The Great Tree Pavilion in the South, on the other hand, just received a sample of Giva meat yesterday.

but my holiday is approaching in four days.

That's why Naudis had set his mind on buying rose meat in just one day.

"I thought it was in this area that I normally bake and taste the best. Can you sell me ten meals each tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and 70 meats in three days?

"Is it seventy meals! That's a lot of thought!

"If you have more, just soak it in salt. At least you won't let it rot."

Still, if it is 70 meals, it is 17,5 kilos, which is the price of 117 and 5 red copper coins.

If you think of 10 meals in the evening three days from now, and 30 meals in the two days I'm off, that's a reasonable figure. I usually buy 40 meals of Giva food from me, so I guess I'm not that strong in that sense either.

Whatever it was, it would have been nice to try it on me.

"Thank you for your purchase.... Nevertheless, the husband of the" Xuanrong Pavilion "also wanted a softer area suitable for baking dishes, right? It's a little strange to think that momomo and shoulder meat are less expensive to use in a simmering dish, and that meat is cheaper."

"Hmm. I wonder if the husband of the" Xuanrong Pavilion "also thought that the difference in skill from Asta would be too obvious in a simmering dish. Giva meat is just delicious to cook, so it's inevitable that you want to start with baked dishes."

I shall think so.

Of course, giva meat is also suitable for simmering dishes, but it just can't be delicious if simmered. Then it would make sense to feel inadequate compared to my 'giva soup' or 'chit pot'. The small amount of seasoning has also been detrimental here.

However, if it stays like this, all the momomos and shoulders will remain in the settlement by the woods.

This one can consume momo and shoulders in addition to soup in Hamburg, so I don't have any problems at the moment. I think it would be nice to sell all parts of the product evenly.

Whatever the case, if Naudis had tau oil, it would not be difficult to develop baked dishes no less than the Xuanrong Pavilion.

(In that sense, I guess Kimmus's Tail Pavilion needs more strength to counter those stores where exotic condiments can be used)

In its Kimmus Tail Pavilion, we were allowed to study the meat of Karon and Kimmus today, as well as a little cooking lecture.

It is not the handling of meat, but the handling of vegetables.

In the meantime, the familiar vegetables for me - deliciously handy to cook aria, tino, tarapa, pra, chacci, ghigo, myrmu, etc.

There were many things I wanted to convey, such as thinly sliced, rounded, cobbled, minced, and how to cook it and what it deserved, and even how to put in a fire that was effective in eliciting the flavour of the ingredients.

However, today the students were still alone in Milan-Math.

I hear your daughter works for another job where we can't see her.

"He originally had a strong fear of the forest people.... well, that's my responsibility for growing up like that."

"That's not what Milan-Math cares about."

Milan-Math's wife said she had lost her brother ten years ago and had died prematurely. That brother, it was Zazz-Sung and Tay-Sung who took your life, so it wouldn't be strange how much Milan-Math and your daughter hated the people by the woods and how much they repelled.

Still, Milan-Math didn't try to cut off from us, and this time he even agreed to be handled for cooking as a prerequisite for buying Giva food.

I hardly know your daughter.

Because even if I ever had a chance to show my face, I'd run away right away because I was scared there.

Still, because your daughter agreed, Milan-Math should have made the decision to put us in the kitchen.

Yet your daughter has been heartbroken by yesterday's events and has hidden herself from us.

In retrospect, hate was those unreliable people.

(Shame on you for putting your shoulders in the people of the woods, and get paid for it - or what?)

We still don't know who those unreliable people are.

The content of the words is just like Zida's, but if you believe in his words, it has nothing to do with you.

Or, there is no proof that he is the hand of Cycleus.

If this had nothing to do with Cycleus - there is still such a strong layer of repellence of the people by the woods in the lodging town.

But that's not why the actions of those unreliable people are justified. I'm in the mood for it to happen.

In that sense, Zida is certainly more passing through, as Milan-Math put it, who has directly hit the people by the woods with hatred.

'... killed dozens of merchants and impersonated my father and his companions with the sin. Why do you look so big in Inn Town laughing so loudly...?

The truth is, that word brought to me by Zida was still eating deep into my chest.

If you think about what the Zazz-Sungs have done, it wouldn't be strange to have a human being who resents the people by the woods with as much seriousness as that.

Or I also think that Milan-Math, who is trying to treat me normally beyond the grace of the past, is a special being.

(… but only in a hurry)

I have a strong attachment to the people of the woods and the people of the Inn Town.

There must be a job I can only do like that.

For that, I want to squeeze my strength.

◇

"... he didn't even show up today."

When we arrived at the settlement of Luu after work, Luu-Lu said so as he followed Luu-Lu to the tree by the house.

"I wonder if I could somehow pull him in front of my father. Then, Guidance, wouldn't it be easy to solve it?

"Well, why not?

"'Cause he doesn't seem to think of anything as tricky as the people in town. I'm talking about being some mountain hunter, and then you and I are in the right place, right?

I'm really optimistic.

Speaking of Rud-Ruu-like, it's also a Rud-Ruu-like word - but Rud-Ruuu hasn't even seen Zida yet. You know, I've never even been blinded by a hateful glance.

Sin-Lu, who is helping the Sheila-Lu guys unload, didn't try to say anything.

"Oh, isn't that Asta, that's awful!," where a large figure emerges from Lew's main house at all times.

He is Dan-Rutim, the head of Rutim, who seems to be a terrible person.

"Oh, thank you.... For a moment, were you having a meeting about Zuro-Sung?

"Uhm! The story itself ended quickly, but I was deflected with Kota-Lu because I was bored when I got back home!

As always, he is a free-handed Parent.

"Then I will begin my work with Sheila-Lou," said Raina-Lou, laughing as he shrugged in his cheerfulness.

When it came to making "Giva Burger" patties, I was no longer at the stage where I just had to check the taste and size in the final check.

I'm just keeping this final check in mind, too, so I guess it's okay if I let it go completely, even from tomorrow.

That's why I decided to stay on the spot and continue the conversation with Dan-Rutim.

"So what happened to the treatment of Zulo-Sung?

"I can't help it. The people of the castle are telling us to hand it over, so we can't cut it without having negotiated it - that's what the chiefs think."

"... Dan-Rutim sounds a little dissatisfied, doesn't he?

"You're very dissatisfied, not a little! I think I should respond to that sentiment because Zulo-Sung, who was at the extremes of that depravity, was finally able to squeeze his temper as a forest folk!

"Um, but you can also say that it's just scared of the castle people, right? I want to make it easier right now if I'm going to get killed after torture."

To be honest, I was in agreement with Dan-Rutim, but I dared to say so to exhort myself.

"Even so, it would be hard to say to peel your head off yourself. And that's in the middle of Zaza's settlement, isn't it? Graf-Zaza and the like, could you say yes and take a knife on the spot?

That being said, Dan-Rutim engraves an unhappy wrinkle on his matte head.

"A human being raw in this woodland settlement begs to give his soul back to the woods. I wonder why I have to let the castle people cut me off until I get rid of that word. I don't know what Donda-Lou and the others are up to right now."

"It must be a painful place to try it on the Chiefs. Even that one is demanding the personality of all the humans in the Sung main house. On top of this, if we talk about not being able to give it to Zulo-Sung, the people by the woods may think that they are rebellious against Genos..."

"There can be no rebellion. How can making demands that don't make sense be a rebellion?

Dan-Rutim's claim was all too legitimate. It's too blatant to make a grunt sound.

Cycleus is poking his demands from the perspective of "not trusting the people of the woods". So I guess it's natural to feel like Dan-Rutim if you fill that part with a scratch or a small reason.

"By and large, the act of vandalizing Morga's grace is also not considered worthy of death under Genos law, is it?

"Yes. That's what I'm asking. Most of the time, the forest code is heavier than the Genos law."

It was the son of a person who is now complaining in front of me that brought that information to me.

"Doesn't that mean that Zulo-Sung would still have a better chance of surviving being handed over to the castle, too? He said to peel his head off right now, so he looked up."

"Right... I guess if you think about it normally..."

But the opponent is a mysterious rapist named Cycleus.

Zuro-Sung was crying, "I don't know what kind of eye it would fit," he said. So it must have inspired so much fear.

Moreover, Kamihito insists that not only Zulo-Sung, but also the rest of the Sung family, should be handed over.

The treatment of the people by the woods is handy, which is the other way around, so I guess there are circumstances where Zulo-Sung and others have to be wiped out.

If that's the case, we don't even know Zuro-Sung is as frightened as that -

That's all I thought about, and I hit a small suspicion.

(But what makes you want to wipe out the Sung family until then?

Normally, it would be something about the great sinner Zazz-Sung.

It would be inconvenient if the person who knew it stayed in the Sung family, for example, for there was some sort of intimacy between Zazz-Sung and Cycleus - if Cycleus thought that way, he could be tortured by Zulo-Sung, and he could fall into the suspicion that every human in the main house needs a mouth seal.

But in fact, the problem. Would such a secret exist?

If such a secret existed, would there be a connection to Zuro-Sung to discipline it through?

More than twenty days have already passed since Zulo-Sung was taken prisoner.

In the meantime, I guess the men of Zaza are pursuing a lot of aftermath, so there should have been as many opportunities for confession.

And, more than that - if you're so scared of castle people, why don't you expose everything while you're by the woods?

If you expose it, the secret is no longer a secret.

That should also obliterate the reasons for being afraid of torture, mouth sealing, etc.

(That's a deadly secret to Cycleus, so if you expose it, it's dangerous to all the people by the woods, or -?)

No matter how much, I don't think that much secrets exist.

If that were the case, even Cycleus wouldn't have left Zulo-Sung alone for so long. If I hadn't told you to hand over all the Sung people, etc., at least both Zulo-Sung and Zazz-Sun names could have been in your hands at least twenty days ago, so it's a story that only needs to be tortured or anything done to see if the secret has been divulged.

Besides - if you think about it, "the covenant between Cycleus and Zazz-Sung" also feels kind of out of place.

Would such a consciousness have existed on Zazz-Sung's side in the first place, even if he was in a cooperative relationship with Cycleus or was being used physically?

If it existed, it would be hard to imagine that it would have perished without smashing about it. Because Zazz-Sung hated the people of Genos so much by then.

(Tay-Sung, because that would be the same thing. If so, there is no way Zulo-Sung alone holds such a secret - I wonder if that would mean)

Then what the hell is it all about?

Why does Cycleus crave the physique of Zulo-Sung and the people of the main house?

Why is Zulo-Sung so afraid of being handed over to the castle?

The more I think about it, the less I know why.

But I've only found out one thing.

We cannot ask Cycleus that question, but it is possible to ask Zulo-Sung.

"- Is Donda-Lou in the house?

"Yes," he replied, so I decided to let him step into Lew's main house, being single.

Waiting in the house were the parents, their eldest son, their eldest son's daughter-in-law, and their eldest son.

I wonder if I was in the middle of enjoying the family reunion because a busy guest finally came out on the table. While being guided by Sati Ray-Luu, who held Kota-Lu, I was the first to make a sudden visit.

"The extra foreground is good. What do you want to tell me?

I let Donda-Lou, still grumpy, explain my suspicions.

but because the content is too vague, I can't convey one mood right now.

"... I'm not sure. Can't you speak a little more plainly?"

"Excuse me. I don't know what the focus of the problem is myself... in short, what the hell is Zuro-Sung afraid of like that, I mean. It's a death sentence to stay in the woods anyway, so doesn't it seem like there's any reason to be scared of the castle people now?

"But someone broke into Zaza's settlement last night. So you know the fact that the castle people are so focused on their existence, and you're confused - then you can't get through?

It was Giza-Lou who had responded that way.

You look like you're smiling at me the same way, and I can't get inside of you at all.

"Yes, for example, if that purpose were to seal your mouth, it wouldn't even be a reason to be scared because how much of a death penalty you are. Isn't that why Zulo-Sung feared that if Cycleus held him back, he would have a destiny scarier than death?

"A destiny scarier than death - so isn't that torture or something?

"I thought so at first, too. But if Zulu-Sung has enough secrets to torture him, then it seems like there's no reason to be tortured if he exposes them all before they hand them over to the castle."

"... then what other possibilities are there?

To Donda-Lou's words, I shake my head, "I don't know".

"So shouldn't that be asking Zulo-Sung himself? What are you so afraid of? - Is Zulo-Sung the tenant who has been connecting with Cycleus as chief for the last ten years? Isn't that why you imagined what Cycleus was thinking, because it's such a Zulo-Sung?

"... sure. Zulo-Sung, who was poisoned by the stone capital, may be able to read the human mastery of the stone capital."

Donda-Lou scratched her tense hair.

"That's what I wanted to hear before the other Chiefs pulled up.... Hey, Rue's Totos was still used by Rudd after this, right?

"Yes, I'm going to have you escort me to Fa's house, and then you're going to stay in the house until I-Fa returns,"

Without having to explain it, that was what Donda-Lou himself arranged for me to do.

"Then I'll use another toss. If Ray's parents show up at Fa's house, let them go straight to Zaza's settlement and tell them what's going on."

"Huh? If Rau-Ray shows up at Fa's house, is it?

"Isn't that the kind of promise you're making? He missed it."

Haven't made any such promises, but was it the prospect of taking Yamil-Ray to visit Fa's house again?

"Okay. Like asking what Zuro-Sung is afraid of, right? When Rau-Ray visits, I'll keep him well informed."

"Oh. If Ray's parents don't show up, run Totos to Rudd after he finishes his escort duties.... you did."

"Huh? What is it?

Thank you for your hard work, I think I heard something like that, but I couldn't hear one now.

"Ugh! If you've done your errands, get out of here."

"Yes! Excuse me"

I disperse outdoors for good.

In the meantime, it seems that the doubts that arose in me could be exactly shared with Donda-Lou.

(That was dark with the lighthouse...... certainly without Zazz-Sung. Now that it was Zuro-Sung who interacted deeply with the # 1 Cycleus around this forest, I should have pursued more things around it)

Zuro-Sung was limited from Zazz-Sung because of his lazy temper, Yamir-Ray once said so. That's why they thought it would have nothing to do with the Cycleus-raising conspiracy.

But Zulo-Sung has had the experience of connecting with Cycleus for ten years.

Even if it had nothing to do with the conspiracy and kept no secrets whatsoever, the experience would be difficult.

We have too little preliminary knowledge of Cycleus.

Now I might be able to move forward a little if I could grab Cycleus' tail at all. With my emotions about a step ahead of me in satisfaction, I was able to put the Lew family behind me.

But there was no one outside the house.

Gill and Lulu are just relaxing and stuck with the leaves of the tree.

How long has Rud-Ruh or Sin-Ruh moved to while each sister was encouraging them to work?

Then Dan-Rutim - and when he approached his gaze, more and more awesome ground sounded.

"Wahaha! He's a big sketch! You can't beat me or Donda-Lou forever for that!

Closer to the exit of the settlement, there were two giant figures in the corner of the Great Square.

Of course it's Dan-Rutim who's laughing high, and the one crawling under its feet is Mida. Around that perimeter, the little ones are also running around a bit.

"Are you comparing the power of the hunter? - Hey, Mida, that's a little hiccup."

Mida was supposed to be more of a crackling face to face than Dan-Rutim, who met him face-to-face during his visit to Schmiral.

Though I had stopped by Luu's settlement every day these days, I was hardly blessed with the opportunity to warm up my old relationship because I mostly had a job.

Mida, who slept in a large letter on the ground, wakes up a giant with an obscure voice: "... ah..."

"It's Asta... Mida has something for Asta to see...?

"Huh? What is it?

Mida turns to the back of Sin-Lu's house when she gets out of the way.

As he followed along with Dan-Rutim, something amazing eventually appeared in front of him.

It's a wooden house.

"Wow, are you done yet?

Mida was building her own house at the mercy of Llada-Luu, the father of Sin-Luu.

But it was on the 25th of the Blue Moon, Lara-Lew's birthday, that I was informed of it, and I should still have encouraged the cutting out of wood back then.

And then it's only been about ten days, and it's finished early?

The size may be a little smaller than Fa's house, but it has a stunning finish that is no less pale than other houses.

"Oh no! This is splendid!

Dan-Rutim slaps the wall with a bang and a big flat hand.

"Wow. I didn't expect it to be done so soon."

"Yeah... I did my best for Asta and I-Fa...?

"Huh?"

"So far the house is to be returned to the Astas...?

Speaking of which, because the only vacant house became Mida's bedroom, I and I-Fa could no longer stay in the settlement of Luu, also in the background.

Well, I-Fa seems to want to go back to his house whenever possible, and I guess he won't get a chance to stay in Luu's settlement in the future more than he has Gilu - of course, he didn't say such wild things.

"Thank you. You worked really well. I think it's amazing."

"What's amazing is Lyada-Lu...? Mida still can't do anything by herself...?

"That's not true. You couldn't have done it so quickly without as much arm strength as Mida."

Mida shuddered her cheekmeat puffy.

As always, luxury seems to get in the way and can't move his expression, but he doesn't even seem to be happily ever after.

"Mm-hmm. This is quite a move. I want you to help me build a new home in Rutim."

and Dan-Rutim laughs with pleasure as well.

"Besides, you seem to be losing a little waste of meat. If you are encouraging at that rate, you will also be able to show strength in comparison to power. Eat well and work well!

"Yeah...... now Mida works hard so we can have Asta's cooking...?

Every time I do that, I won't be left alone. Even the Ladies of the Lou, with Rayna-Lou at the head, are raising their glare and cooking arms.

But that, too, was a wild story.

"Looking forward to the next harvest feast. I'll sift your arm if you can cover your head again."

"Yeah... I'm looking forward to Mida too...?

Small eyes, like piglets, gleam.

Midah's Marutai-like arm, that he had also destroyed stalls in the Inn Town, has now created a new home by the woods. That was something that seemed very pleasant and emotional to every human being I had.

Both Mida and Yamir-Ray - and I'm sure Oura and Zwei - are beginning to walk their new lives in their respective homes through their sins and the death of Tay-Sung.

What about Diga and Dodd? Will we regret our sins and weaknesses while surrounded by Dom's scary men?

Whatever it is, unless I can find any more reason than the Donda-Lou's in Cycleus' words, I've been forced to reiterate that thought as to whether I'll ever let this life break.
