309 Sauti Family Distress ① - Ferocity Report

Well...

The Blue Sky Dining Room of the Lew family opened, and Polearths brought us another consultation about the distribution of caron meat, and that day was a very exciting and hasty day for us, but when we returned to the settlement of Lew, further turmoil awaited us there.

Besides, what we've been waiting for here is a wave that even shook off in a negative direction.

"Is that it? What the hell is going on?

I was able to detect the signs of the turmoil when I put my luggage in the settlement grounds.

Usually, people in the settlements had gathered in front of the Nokimi main house, even though it was supposed to be the time they worked in salary scales, pico drying, grass knitting, etc.

The deliberately disturbing air is swirling, and from beyond its hedgerows there is a slightly tortoised long neck.

"Maybe the Dom people have come to complain?

Tour-Din, who stepped himself out of the carrier, raised his voice worryingly.

Rem-dom has been in the woods lately with Barsha and Zida in the morning, learning how to kill signs and handle bows. He's hunting wild birds, not giva, so maybe he hasn't disobeyed the Rigiri woodland mastery, but it's no wonder he remembers his anger if he finds out about it around Dick-Dom, as he's no stranger to his hands-on as a hunter.

"No, Totos in the northern settlement should have a darker color. That yellowish tototoss must belong to the Sauti family."

Answering like that, I stopped my luggage outside the hedge.

The sun is still high, so all that gathers there are women and toddlers.

The people who noticed our arrival split left and right as they stood - and from beyond, they caught a glimpse of no thought.

"Dali-Souti! What happened to your appearance?!?

"Oh, Asta. You look like you're breathing."

seen since Wellhide's welcoming party, is Dari-Sauti.

However, the young chief of the forest, Dali-Souti, had been able to see and become unbroken.

There is a grey bandage wrapped around my head, and there's red and blood all over it.

In addition, he hangs his left arm with a triangular scarf, like Ey-Fa once did.

And the most unusual thing was that face.

Its square face, which was warm and full of style, was snuggling its cheeks like someone else, producing a beard of ineffectiveness, and burning a flame of anger and carelessness in its eyes, not like his.

"Just fine. I wanted to tell Asta something, too.... but I guess it fits when Fa's parents Ai-Fa are still chasing Gibba in the woods too"

"Yeah, yeah, I think so, but what more dari-sauty -?"

"For more information, let me tell you something."

And out of the shadow of Dari-Sauti's giant, a squeamish voice rose.

What emerged from it was a skinny old man with a white head like snow.

"You 're-- you're Moga-Souty, right?

"Oh, have you remembered an old man's name like Non? I'm glad to hear it, Asta from Fa's house."

Old people themselves are rare in this woodland area, so I couldn't go wrong.

It was the elder Moga-Souti of the House of Sauti, who had only met once at the Parents' Conference of Nostalgia.

This one has a soft, serene grin, as I've seen before.

"We have come to the house of Lew for help.... for the first time in decades, the Lord of the Woods has appeared."

"Lord of the Woods?

"I'm talking about a giva of uninterrupted size. To hear the story, it seems that Non is even more gibberish than the Lord he saw when he was young.... the hunters in the woods have been badly hurt."

"Seven hunters, including me, were to suffer severe hand injuries. Two of them are still wandering the frontier of life and death, and where they have taken their lives, they will not be able to live as hunters in the future"

With a squeezing voice, Dari-Sauti accompanied the words.

"As Sautti's parent, I've never been more thoughtless. Moreover, the Lord still wanders around the settlement without losing his power. As it is, Suttie just waits for her to perish."

"Therefore, Sautti came to Luu for strength.... and at Fa's house."

Moga-Souti stares back at me with a terribly quiet eye.

"Please help me. They need your help, Asta of Fa's house."

◇

Apparently it was about five days ago that the giant Gibba, the Lord of that forest, emerged by the settlement of Sauti.

At first, one of the hunters just saw it in the distance, and that means it was cleaned up by some kind of mistake. As such, it was a giant out of common sense.

But the day after that, now more than one hunter was to relate to its giant giva.

At that time, as many as three hunters were to suffer deep hand injuries.

The exact size, etc. is not measurable, but anyway, he said he was about the same height as a human, and the width and length of his body were about the same size as that. It's a giant Gibba that's more than just a caron.

And while it was all that giant, it could move as lightly as a normal giva, and the ferocity seemed to be one thing.

So the next day I carefully set a trap, and all the hunters with Sauti as their parent made plans to exorcise that giva.

But all the traps they had set were broken, and as many as four more hunters were to bear the deep hand.

"My sword did snap my lord's neck. But the knife was broken, and I pushed the Lord."

Dari-Sauti described it that way in a thoughtless voice.

Its left arm, hung with a triangular scarf, apparently snapped a bone in its forearm.

"No matter how many knives you slap in or how many arrows you raise, that lord will not show you how weak he is. Even the name Lord of the Woods seems easy. He's a god of disaster."

"That's the kind of lord that shows up by the woods every few decades. Until then, are you hiding in the depths of the woods, or are you born as big as that from the beginning... anyway, a few times more gibberish than the coarse gibberish is huge and ferocious"

"As it is, the grace around the settlement will be devoured without waiting for a few days. So you may return to the back of the East Forest, but if you move to the north, this time a smaller clan than Sautti will take care of that monster, and if you move to the west or south - you will leave the forest and raze the fields of Genos"

"It will not be easy to deal with the Lord, who is beyond our power, in the people of the city. If you do poorly, the threat may extend not only to the fields but also to the people of the town."

"The monster must be defeated in the woods."

So Dari-Sautti swallowed up all the shame and thoughtlessness and appealed for help to the Luu family without blood.

With Sauti and five families, the total number of hunters is 23. Seven of them bear the deep hand, and the other half are wounded. There is no longer any power left in Sauti to take on the Lord of the Woods. Please lend the help of the Lou family to save Sauti, and hence all the forestside people and the territory of Genos - that was Dari-Sauti's wish.

◇

"... I see, I think I understand the story of one street"

After hearing those stories, Ai-Fa responded that way in a quiet voice.

After sunset, it is a time limit for supper. Moga-Souti is invited to Fa's house to go ahead with a meal along with it. Dali-Souti, along with another accompanying hunter, should be poking Donda-Lou and his knees in the settlement of Lou.

"So, I know you want help with Lou's house, but what the hell are you talking about asking Fa's house for it?

"I have heard that Fa's parent, Ai-Fa, is good at handling Gibba's fruit. I want you to lend us that power."

Moga-Souti responded that way in a quiet voice, no less than Ai-Fa.

"The move has been lost over time because of the tremendous danger involved in dealing with the fruits of Gibba. Hunters who can no longer use the moves will only exist enough to count around this forest. … but the combination of the moves with the fruit moves of the Giva excluding that are passed on to Sauthi should make it possible to push Giva with stronger force"

"Oh... I see, that's what you mean"

"Furthermore, I also hear that Fa's parents are hunters enough to be chosen by up to eight brave men at the Luu family harvest festival. I want you to use that power for the rest of the forest and Genos."

"... as a hunter and a living being, I just happen to think it's an honorable wish"

Answering as such, but the blue eyes of Ai-Fa dwelt a sharply probing light.

"But what the hell is it about wanting to welcome Asta as well as me to the settlement of Sauti? Wouldn't it take the power of Kamadoku to defeat the Lord of the Woods?

"There are three reasons for that. For one thing, I want the wounded hunters to be fed a healing meal. The other is because I want the people of Sauti in the abyss of despair to be energized to live. And at the end of the day, I want the hunters who deal with the Lord of the Woods to be strong. It will take a long time to defeat the Lord of the Woods."

That's it, Moga-Souti smiled softly.

"The lords would have said, 'A delicious meal brings strength to the people by the woods'? Now is the time for us to be strong, Asta to the Ai-Fa of Fa's house."

…………

"Donda-Lou promised not only to be a hunter, but also to lend Kamado his number. The women who do business in the lodging town are supposed to stay in the settlement of Sauti. I thought I'd do my job in Inn Town during the day, and then I'd rub dinner at Sautti's house,... and it would be a hard wish to have Asta's power applied there?

"That's well... with me, I don't feel like leaving my family alone to head out to the settlement of Sauti... but I guess there's nothing dangerous about it?

"Sure. How the Lord of the Woods, though, does not come within the settlement. You can also protect the settlement with the fruit of Giva."

That being said, Moga-Souti put down the wood plate he had in his hand.

"Though I have learned to bleed and tear every job in my sauty, and have been able to make delicious meals, Asta's cooking is or is beyond comparison powerful. If you mouth those meals, you might be able to get your smile back on the women and toddlers of Sauti as well.... As a parent and chief, Dari-Sauti said so. And Noh was now able to know that the word was true without any doubt. If I may, I want Asta's help as well as I-Fa"

I gave it a big nod, as I-Fa flickered his gaze.

Ai-Fa meditated often before crushing "I accepted".

"Not if they wish it to be for the rest of the forest and Genos. Me and Asta are here to promise to do everything we can to avert the scourge that struck Sautti."

"Thank you. I'll never forget this grace, Asta to Ai-Fa in Fa's house."

Moga-Souti bowed his head deeply with both fists on the floor.

Ey-fa, who was staring at it, frowned tingly and turned his gaze towards the front door.

At the same time, the doorboard was knocked from the outside.

"I'm sorry for the night. of Sauti sent by the chiefs Dari-Sauti and Donda-Lou. There are words I would like to convey to Fa's parents and elders Moga-Souti"

Hold on to me trying to get my hips up, and Ai-Fa will pick that person up from scratch.

A young hunter, who had deposited a knife in Ai-Fa, came into the room and lowered his back instead of Moga-Souti.

"The hunters of the Lou family went out to the settlement of Sauti by Jomtie tomorrow, and it came to help. If Fa's parents can accompany him, I want him to return to the settlement of Luu by the sixth hour of ascent."

"Admitted.... By the way, how many hunters are going out from the Lew family?

"From Luu, Rutim and Ray, there are a total of ten. It made no sense to accompany a hunter who lacked strength, and that number of people because the house could be in danger if he drove a powerful hunter out of his small family. If you want to know the name of the hunter, let me tell you that too."

"Well, let's see what we can do about it."

"Admitted.... from the Luu family are Donda-Lu, Darum-Lu, Rud-Luu, Mida, Barsha for customers, Zida. From the Rutim family are Gazran-Rutim, Dan-Rutim and Ra-Rutim. Rau-Ray from the Ray family. Ten more."

It was a blurred face.

but there are also different members who are just a little concerned. I guess Ey-Fa felt the same thing, he was hissing his eyebrows like a lot.

"Surely everyone is a powerful hunter. But it was surprising that it even included Balsha and Zida for the customers. Besides, wasn't Ra-Rutim the Elder of Rutim?

"It seems that Barsha and Zida were asked to accompany them because they have exceptional bow moves. Ra-Rutim, along with Dan-Rutim, is said to be responsible for smelling the smell of Gibba. Dan-Lutim and I were just talking about how we haven't had the power to run through the woods yet."

Well, I agree with you.

So, I guess the only reason Giza-Lou isn't elected as eight brave men is because he still weighs the lesson that either the parents or the trail keeps him at home when things happen.

So, Dan-Rutim has already stepped down from his parents, which means it's also possible to leave the house with Gazran-Rutim.

Nevertheless, it was surprising that the heads of the three families' main houses, Luu, Lutim and Ray, had the strongest power even in the Luu clan.

I'm pretty sure this is a better member of the Luu clan as well.

Donda-Lou also feels opposed to the Lord of the Woods in his strongest formation.

When I thought about it that way, my spine creaked to the point where I wasn't a hunter.

"... Is it possible for me to be accompanied by it, too?

and the voices of the women echoed from nowhere, and everyone except Ai-Fa was to circle their gaze.

On the other side of the window lattice, his dark eyes blink.

The hunter of Sauti, who had deposited the knife, nearly stood up with his bare hands, but let Ai-Fa stop it from "waiting".

"Those are Rem-Dom, the wondrous women who were evicted from the Dom family.... Lem-Dom, would stealing and listening out the window like that be an act against the woodland mastery?

"Oh, you, the parent, must have noticed from the beginning, so that doesn't apply to the word 'steal and listen', does it? I've been waiting a long time to see when you could call me in."

"I have no reason to call you in. I suppose you've already received dinner? Go back to your own mess."

"Before I do, I'd like you to answer as many questions as you asked. Is it possible for me to accompany you to the settlement of Sauti?

Although dark and faceless, Rem-Dom's voice felt like it sounded a lot more serious.

Ai-Fa responds with an emotionless voice, twisting her side.

"Neither Barsha nor Zida will be able to take the time to fool around with you or anything else in the settlement of Sauti. I'm waiting for you two to come home."

"Neither am I going to let those two go to work until such a time. It's not about training, I want to go to the settlement of Sauti."

"Why?

Ai-Fa asked sharply, and Rem-Dom answered with a whispering voice.

"Are there a lot of hunters in the settlement of Sauti who have borne the deep hand? I want to help heal it. … so how dangerous and proud your job as a hunter is, I want to tap it into you again."

Ai-Fa kept staring silently into her eyes outside the window.

While accepting that, Rem-Dom gets a small laugh at "hehe".

"Besides, if I don't help Asta with her work, I'm out of the means to get dinner. When you guys headed to Dubbag, you could help Sudra or Fou with his job and get a little food, but now you don't even know how many days away he's going to be? I was hoping to accompany Asta to help her with her work."

"... we don't have the authority to decide that"

Ai-Fa quietly looked back at Moga-Souti.

The elder of Sauti smiles calmly as he grins his bright white jawbeard.

"I have also heard of the Lord from the people of the Lou family, Rem-dom of the Dom family.... I can begin to help the Lord in front of the Dom and Zaza houses, but if it helps the wounded men, I don't have to. Let's talk to the chief, Dari-Sautti, from Noon."

"Thank you. Thank you, Moga-Souti, the elder of Saouti"

That seemed to determine Lem-Dom's companionship as well.

Moga-Souti corrects his residence with "Well".

"It's the women of Din and Sudra who stay. I think I'm going to go talk to the parents about whether it's possible to keep it in the settlement of Sauti with Asta.... overlapping, thank you, Asta to Ai-Fa in Fa's house."

◇

All the guests left, and I was supposed to spend the night alone with Ai-Fa.

Unwinding her golden brown hair, Ai-Fa calls out, "It's Asta".

"Oh, I know. I don't do dangerous imitations in the settlement of Sauti.... but at this point, I think you're the one to be worried about, Ai-Fa?

"As always, I just do my job. Even if Gibba's figure gets bigger, there's nothing different about it."

"But it's a giant gibba that the hunters of Sauti couldn't defeat even by twenty? That's not a monster."

"Monsieur?

"Oh, monsters, monsters."

"No matter how big and ferocious, Gibba is Gibba. It's not a monster, it's just a kid in the woods. … it is the forest itself that determines which of us will survive the same child of the forest"

I guess there's nothing more to hunter Ai-Fa than to think about it once again.

I go into the woods after solidifying it every day, such as being ready to die. Because that's the hunter by the woods.

"Still let me just say one word, Ai-Fa"

Under the walled eye-fa, I only go a little further on my knees.

"I believe you'll be safe, and I'll be waiting for you, okay?

"... that word will give me more power than anything"

Ai-Fa narrowed her eyes and smiled with a very soft look.

"To you, I return. Just like yesterday or today, cook a delicious meal and wait for me. That's all I want."
