276 Twenty-sixth Day of the Black Moon ③ - Under the Feast

After finishing his work in the boarding town, he first went on to prepare under the business minutes of the next day in the settlement of Luu, and quickly cleaned it up in about half an hour before moving on to the settlement of Lutim.

They were accompanied by a total of six originally Rutim women, Ama Min-Lutim and Zwei, from the house of Ruu to Raina-Lou and Sheila-Lou, plus Tour-din and Rem-Dom.

Yun-Sudra also wanted to accompany him as strongly as he seemed to cry, but he was taken back to Sudra's house by Li-Sudra, who smiled, "I have a job at home," he said.

I'm sorry, I'm supposed to be helping you.

"It's what we wanted," he smiled back to Raina-Lou as I called him as he ran his luggage.

If this member joins us in the war in addition to the women of Rutim, it would be a gold bar to the ghost.

Cooking time is approximately three and a half hours.

I'm going to squeeze my strength to please Dan-Rutim.

"Asta of Fa's house, well done for coming"

It was the elder Ra-Rutim who was waiting for him in the settlement of Rutim.

White beard on bald head, slender long body on spine, sharp eyes when eagle. He is Rutim's predecessor, with no similarities to your son other than his bald head and long body.

"The men are still in the woods, but all the women hold back for how long. I don't have the nerve to give this kind of work to people in Fa's house without blood, but I can't shut my mouth when it comes to parental decisions."

"No, because all of you Rutims are important friends to me, too. I'm happy to keep you company."

"... um. Fa's parental decision to be Rutim's friend doesn't make him feel comfortable whispering."

Only a tough face, Ra-Rutim nods.

"Well, thank you. Ama Min, Zwei, lead Asta to the right time."

"I appreciate that."

While pulling the reins, we head to Kama.

Ra-Rutim stayed on the spot and it was like starting with some sort of swordsmanship guide against the little ones.

"Ever since Elder Ra pulled himself out of his job as a hunter five years ago, he's made it his best job to train kids like that."

"I see. That's great."

"Yes, I have still been married to Rutim for several months, but I love Rutim as much as Min's family"

Speaking that way, Ama Min-Rutim had a very warm and proud face.

"Ah, Asta. And everyone else, welcome to Rutim's house."

In the meantime, Morn-Rutim laughs.

"I cut the meat apart, as I was told, and I totally cooked up the poiton. You'll find all the vegetables and seasonings you need here."

"Thank you. Then Raina-Lou and Sheila-Lou should be on the street. Thank you for your time."

Anyway, it's a dish of nearly fifty people, so we had arranged for a split in advance.

The women of Rutim, thirteen in total. Each of these five men will be Rayna-Lew's squad, and I will be joined by three, as well as Tour-din and Rem-dom.

Raina-Lou's assistant is in charge of juice dishes at Ama Min-Lou Tim, Sheila-Lou's assistant is in charge of steaks and stir-fried meat vegetables at Morn-Lu Tim, and I am in charge of special dishes with Tour-Din as my assistant.

While I'm at it, I'm proud to say it's the perfect formation.

"Asta, it's a pleasure."

One of the women assigned to my squad approached me.

I smile and say, "I'm hissing," too.

It was Oura, the mother of Zwei.

It is the first reunion in more than two months since the day of the castle town's interrogation.

"And Lem-Dom, too.... Hasn't it been nearly a year with you?"

"... Oh, you were the daughter-in-law of the Sung family head. Though I don't even remember the name."

"My name is Aura. I ask Zwei how you feel about us, but thank you for your work."

"Yeah, nice to meet you"

Rem-dom responds softly, shrugging his successful shoulders.

Zwei looked like she had something to say, but she couldn't stay on the spot because she was Sheila-Lou's squad.

Together, they lived in Rutim's settlement, but they were cut off from their family.

I guess Zwei, who is forbidden to call him "Mother," suffers considerably from the inside. I once heard Dan-Rutim squeak when it was.

He also said that if Zwei et al. could overcome that grief and make everyone in Rutim seem as irreplaceable as their former families, that would finally give him Mr. Rutim.

"Speaking of which, you don't see Dan-Rutim. Are you running around somewhere in Totos again?

"Yes, he said he wouldn't be back till dusk because when he was in the settlement he decided he wanted to have a pinch"

Smiling quietly, Oura answered me that way.

She is a very calm and overwhelming woman, but I think it would have been this Oura who was most undisturbed, except for Yamil-Ray, when the Sung family was doomed.

It also leads to Ama Min-Rutim and Li Sudra, which felt to me as if it were quiet toughness.

"Now let's get to cooking. Let's start with Gibba Curry."

From Dan-Rutim's good reaction on the day I first made it, I also incorporated this dish into my special dedication.

The amount per person is small, but because the number of people is large, you must also make a cup of this in an iron pan.

"Amazing. I can't believe I'm going to need all this cooking for my parents' birthday celebration. I can't think about it in Din's house first."

Thur-din calls me that way, cutting the rose meat prepared by Morn-Rutim and others into moderate sizes.

While I teach Rem-Dom how to cut chats and eneons, I return the words, "Right."

"I thought you said 27 people just for the family. For once, is that a higher number than the Zazas or something?

"Yes. I don't think there were twenty people in Zaza either.... but isn't the northern settlement like one clan in Zaza, Dom and Gene?

"If we put all of the northern settlements together, it should be more than forty. Besides, there are so many young people in the northern settlements, you can't even beat the number of hunters."

Saying so, Rem-Dom laughs sarcastically.

"Speaking of which, I wonder if there are many people in Lou and Rutim who have eaten a certain age? What do you think, Tour-din?

"Right. I'm not sure how many people are, but it's probably the first time I've seen a man as old as you."

"I guess that's also the one called proof of a strong family. I was surprised that the Lew family was able to survive to the parents of previous generations."

"Parents of previous generations? But Luu's parents are chief Donda-Lu... Donda-Lu was about the same age as Graf-Zaza, wasn't he?

"Yes, that's why the parents of the previous generations of the Lew family are over eighty years old. Well, it wasn't a man, it was a woman."

"Eighty...... I've never even seen that in a bunch of women"

Tul-din opens his eyes to surprise.

Regardless of his strong appearance, Rem-Dom didn't take that long to be able to crack it down with Tour-Din. Unsurprisingly, Lem-Dom has a cheerful part, and since they are a clean family, there may have been a strong common perception that we should open our hearts to each other most of the time.

"Lem-Dom met Ziba-Lou face-to-face, didn't he?

"Of course. You can't take care of me in a settlement in Lou, but you don't say hello to the oldest, do you? Ziba-Lou's over eighty, right?

"Yeah, in my memory, he was only 85 years old."

"Eighty-five! That's an amazing number."

Rem-dom laughs again as he pours the cut chatch into the iron pan.

"Where such an old man could survive, he just wastes less food because he can't do anything to work.... If you were a rough man in a northern settlement, some people might think that way."

"Yeah. I hope that's not what you think."

"I won't think about it. Whatever it is, shouldn't humans live long? Even Dick, who was 15 years younger and was supposed to succeed his parents, must think so."

Speaking of which, it was a story that Dom's main house only had two family members.

I guess that was too soon to say goodbye because it still means that Lem-Dom, 15, doesn't have any parents.

"That's right. I feel the same way because I lost my mother early.... By the way, how old is my parents Dick-Dom?

"Same age as you."

"Yeah?"

I'll look around and see who you are.

But the women of Rutim were also eager to work on it, and no one seemed to be participating in this conversation.

"What are you flirting with? I'm telling you I'm seventeen, Asta."

"Joo-hoo, what are you doing?

The work stops by accident.

Really, Lem-Dom is a puffy.

"You, Rud-Lew and you surprise each other so much. Do my parents look that old?

"Hey, well... yeah, I think I'm going to be rude, so let's not"

"Isn't that the word already rude? I got a good souvenir story for Dom's house."

"Wow, give me a break. If you buy that kind of discomfort, you won't know how to behave."

Rem-dom laughs when he crinkles delightfully.

When I look at you like this, I still think you're a daughter I can't hate.

"Certainly the parents have the power to beat Graf-Zaza at that young age. Even in comparison to the power of the harvest festival, it's either Dick or Graph-Zaza who wins last. … such a dick is my pride"

"Yeah, Dick-Dom is a really good hunter,"

"… so I cannot help but be heartbroken by the power of Ai-Fa, which may also be comparable. Ai-fa is hope itself for me."

and now narrow your eyes in a lucid way.

This is bad for Ai-Fa again, but it's a trick I can't hate.

No way. The degree of skinship has passed, but there's no way I could dislike someone who wants to praise Ai-Fa for being so upright.

While doing so, the workbench and iron pan were stacked with cut meat and vegetables.

"Okay, is this done with meat and vegetables? Tul-din, it's best to simmer."

"Yes."

In the meantime, I'm going to make Lou.

I left the vanilla blend and frying at home, so I'm just going to use milk fat, aria, and fuwano to finish up with Lou later.

To impress everyone's nose, I take Lem-Dom's hand and move every iron pan to the outside body.

There, there was a group approaching.

The hunters of Rutim, who took charge of Gibba.

"Oh, Asta. Thank you for today."

"Gazran-Rutim! You're hissing!

For the first time in a month or so, it was Gazran-Rutim.

Gazran-Rutim stops in front of me with a gentle grin on his stern side.

"I'd like to talk to Asta a little bit, so I'll ask for a skin-peeling job first"

"Okay," he responded, a man of his second brother, the head of the branch and brother of Gazran-Rutim.

The man also thanked me with a soft smile no less than his brother and walked away with his compatriots.

If there's one giant giva being carried by both of us, and two smaller givahs at a time than that - and the number of blood clans is 27, this is the lowest norm of the day to be achieved.

"I think the two little heads in there are also able to successfully drain blood. It was about wanting to use the neck to top at the feast of the day, wasn't it, Asta?

"Yes, I don't think it's enough for everyone, but if you like, definitely"

It is a revenge battle between brain and eyeball cuisine.

In the last five days, I've been working with my neighbors on your research.

"I'm very excited to see what dishes will be served. Everyone in my blood is very happy with the whimsy of Dan, the parent, who makes it easy for Asta to do such an important job."

For the first time in over a month, Gazran-Rutim was still Gazran-Rutim.

No, I wonder how polished it was to settle down like a snug big tree.

Its gazran-rutim quiet eyes look at Lem-Dom all the time.

"You're Rem-Dom in Dom's main house, aren't you? My name is Gazran-Rutim and I am the eldest brother of the Rutim main house."

"Yes, I've heard rumors in the settlement of Lou, Gazran-Rutim."

Lem-Dom is relative with a much challenging eye.

Gazran-Rutim laughs fluently over there.

"You're helping me prepare the feast, too, aren't you? I am very pleased that the ties between the Northern clan and the Luu clan will deepen."

"Right. I guess the Sung family, which was once the parent muscle, was hostile to the Luu clan for no good reason, so I guess we should reunite the right edge."

"At the banquet hall, have fun as a guest. Okay, Asta, I have work to do, too, so now. Gibba's head will be delivered just before the main house."

"Yes, thank you"

Finally, he gives another warm grin, and then Gazran-Rutim walks away too.

Lem-Dom's eyes, dropping off his big back, dwelt in some twinkling light.

"You're a lot of men. I prefer innocent men like Dan-Lutim."

"Oh well. It's just as important to me as it is to me."

"Hmm. The eldest brother of the Lew main house felt like he wasn't good at it, and there seems to be a lot of strange men in the Lew clan"

After saying it that way, Lem-Dom shrugs one shoulder.

"Could it have been an unscrupulous statement against the trail of Lou or Rutim? But there's only one thing you don't care about, right?

"Right. But even humans with cooking can change their impressions if they stick around for a long time? I think Dan-Rutim is right about being free to like or dislike it, but I'm sure it's necessary to look at it in the long run."

While stir-frying large quantities of aria in milk fat, I made them answer that way.

With a wooden dish with spices turned into a mountain, Lem-Dom said, "Hmm?" and bend his lips.

"Then perhaps the time will come when I too will have a fondness for Giza-Lou and Gazran-Rutim, or for the sweet stew made by Asta?

"It would be possible. Anyway, it would be a shame to just cut off the first impression."

"Have you ever been connected to that first impression?

"Well, there's as much. Especially me, because I was treated like a swelling in the first place - and that's the worst first impression of Donda-Lou, isn't it?

And I was as alienated as Giza-Lou was, but I don't have as many unpleasant feelings for Darmu-Lou as I used to, and I was able to crack a lot with the folks at Fou and Run.

I thought I'd come a long way - and I'm about to get stuck with my emotions.

"Speaking of which, even Dan-Rutim yelled at me headless when I first met him. I don't know what the hell you're going to do with Giva's carcass meat in a celebratory seat."

"Oh, eating stinky carcasses and all that talk about proof of weak families? In the northern settlements, you said you liked areas that had nothing to do with smell."

"Really? But, you know, I'm trying to feed Dan Rutim his eyeballs and brain without any worries, so I'm glad he had a really good relationship."

When I answered that, Lem-Dom looked at me a lot.

With a height difference of nearly 10 cm, he is in a position to bend his hips slightly.

"What's wrong with you? Is it time for you to lend me that plate?

"Oh, go ahead.... No, very much so now, you are born exotic, aren't you, Asta?"

"You really are now. As you can see, I wasn't born in the woods."

"Yes, black hair and eyes are not uncommon in the northern settlements, but there are no forest-side people with such raw white skin.... but I didn't really feel like you were exotic from the start, did I? When I first heard your story, I should have thought it was so ridiculous to welcome an exotic into your family."

I guess I mean naturally as a forest folk, too.

"Yes. I may have been flushed into it too because the people around me are so naturally dealing with you. That exotic named Barsha was in the same place, so thank you."

That said, Lem-Dom played the forehead on his cheek with a pin.

"Fair enough. Doesn't make sense that you've been forced to abandon a non-abandoned person. If I had an absurd person wandering by the Ey-Fa, I'd feel like it too."

"Haha. Rem-dom is really obsessed with Ai-fa."

"It's not natural. I won't forgive you if you do something that will make me sad, Asta?

With a warm eye, he looks even more.

But the words and actions gave me joy.

"I'm glad more people have said that for Ai-Fa, Rem-Dom. I'm not talking about the hunter, but I'll keep saying hello to Ai-Fa."

"I don't even have to tell you that.... Ahhh, today is the day to go back to Luu's settlement, right? If this is the case, I should have told my parents I wanted to sit in Fa's house from the start."

With that said, Lem-Dom had a muscular self cuddling his body into a slice.

Whatever - the feast for the celebration of Dan-Rutim's birth was steadily approaching the time of commencement.
