326 The Lew family harvest festival, once again ① ~ eight brave men ~

The harvest festival of the family of Lou was to be held on the fourteenth day of the purple moon.

What a day this was set to coincide with the holidays of commerce in the Accommodation Town.

Because the harvest festival is a big event for a day, it becomes impossible to do business the next day. Therefore, on the fourteenth day of the purple month, the day before the holidays, it became the backbone of the harvest festival.

It's supposed to be Donda-Lou who decides that eventually, so it's going to be a lot more flexible for me to be impressed.

Whatever, the day of the fourteenth is a business day.

After successfully selling all the merchandise, at the end of the day as usual, we'll get to cleaning it up later. In the meantime, it was Lara-Luu who had been making a scene.

"Come on, come on! The harvest festival's already started, isn't it? We have to hurry back to the settlement!

But even at the last harvest festival, I remember Lara-Luu showing this.

I'm sure you want to see Sin-Lu work in comparison to the power of the hunter. And while I smiled inside, I said, "It's okay."

"Even last time, you could have watched the game quite a bit compared to the power of the hunter. Now that we're finishing faster than then, we don't need to rush anything."

Yet back then we were traveling on foot, and now we are luggage cars. In total, it was a calculation that I could get home early for about an hour and a half in my spare time.

It's now two moments downstairs, around 2: 20pm by my senses, and taking into account the cleanup, exchange of copper coins and buyout of ingredients, I'll be back at the Luu settlement around 3: 00.

Starting the day after tomorrow, we are finally planning to open the Blue Sky Dining Room at Fa's house, but we intend to receive and install the tables, chairs, etc. ordered on tomorrow's holiday. Expansion work on the outdoor area was completed by noon today, and there was a large open lot on the right hand side of our stall and the front of the street.

"Now when we get back to the settlement, now we're ready for the feast, right? It's a terrible story."

I'm on my way home after all the cleanup. Besides, it was Yamil-Ray who blurred like that in the carriage.

"But there must be more than a hundred of Lew's family members, right? Besides, the Lew family is richer than anywhere else, so it must be a fine feast."

It was Yun-Sudra who responded accordingly.

While members of the same stall, it is unusual for these two names to be interested in public discourse.

"Come on, I wonder. Because I stayed in Ray's settlement at the last harvest festival. … but today's feast must bring all the families together."

"Really? Sudra has few families, so I can't imagine a big feast like that."

After saying it with a bounced voice, Yun-Sudra rang out her hand "Oh".

"Speaking of which, both Yamil-Ray and Tour-Din used to be Sung people. Isn't it unusual to have a big feast?"

I was supposed to sneak my neck off while manipulating Gill's reins.

The road back from the Inn Town to the woodside is thin and sloping, so there is no loose way to look back at the carrier.

After some silence, Yamil-Ray replied in the same tone.

"Having said that, Sung's family had so many distant families in the house that they didn't, such as all humans gathering together. In my memory, the wedding of Zulo-Sung, who was the chief, was the last."

"Oh really?"

"Yeah. And after that, I didn't do my job as a hunter properly either, and I was ravaging the grace of the forest, something that made it extra difficult to gather my family. It's a hassle and a danger to hunt Gibba just for that reason, so we've changed the code to the wind that harvest festivals can be held in their own homes.... I didn't hunt Gibba properly in the Sung family in the first place, so there won't be a harvest festival or a snag."

It is an increasingly disturbing stream.

Then Yamil-Ray's voice sounded just a little stronger.

"So, Thur-din, could you please not look darker? Yun-Sudra is normally able to talk about the Sung family this way because she doesn't care about past sins, etc.? Or should she have cared about us and avoided talking about the Sung family?

"Ah... no, I..."

"What! Did something make you feel sad? Don't cry, Tour-din!

I hesitated, Yun-Sudra's voice.

Yamil-Ray's voice overlaps there again.

"Still, when I received my daughter-in-law and son-in-law from my family, I had to hold a feast in Sung's settlement, so each time the people in the branch were made to feel bitter. Engaged in unfamiliar giva hunting work, preparing meat, aria and poitan… That's how I had to pretend I was enjoying the feast, frightened to keep the Sung family secrets from being exposed. Oddly enough, Tour-din must have remembered that kind of bitterness"

"Oh, I'm so sorry! I don't think enough…"

"It's okay. It's the Sung family that made the mistake, so you don't have to choose the words."

A very chilling Yamil-Ray voice.

"And you didn't have to go against the people in the main house, so you shouldn't have to get sick anyway, right? I think you need to feel a little stronger, Tour-din."

There are signs of Thur-din shrugging his nose.

Finally, I thought I should shut my mouth too, but Tour-Din spoke earlier than that.

"Excuse me...... but I could be invited to the North Settlement Feast as Din's family. I was invited as Kamado's number, so I didn't really feel like enjoying the feast... but I did get a very happy feeling."

"Yeah, it is."

"Yes...... so I hope Yamil-Ray can also enjoy the Luu family feast today as a Ray family person?

That was the kind of voice you could imagine Thur-din's haunting smile.

I wonder what kind of eyes Yamil-Ray is staring back at it.

"That's right! Yamil-Ray as a Ray family person, Tour-Din as a Din family person, from now on live a happy raw"

Yun-Sudra, who states so, must have a relieved breath.

But maybe I or Yun-Sudra are just worried unnecessarily.

By the time it was the same Sung family, Yamil-Ray and Tour-Din were unable to bond correctly, and after being cut off from the brink of blood, they were finally able to get a relationship that could hit their honest feelings in this way. This one I'm watching gets hiccups, but maybe these interactions were the ones that mattered to them.

That's how when the peaceful air returned to the luggage, we arrived in the settlement of Luu.

Only me and Yamil-Ray will get off the luggage and Gill's reins will be entrusted to Tour-Din.

"Then I'm sorry, but say hello to the luggage truck. Because I-Fa should be at home."

"Yes, thank you again today"

Yun-Sudra, who looked out of Tul-din's place, is also smiling with a smile. Me and I-Fa were once again to be invited to the Lew family harvest festival, but they would just go home like this. Once you receive this luggage truck, with its legs, Ai-Fa should be the hand that comes to the settlement of Luu.

As far as I'm concerned, I can't forbid some discomfort and loneliness, as the Tour-Dins were generally supposed to be present at these recent events. Nevertheless, attending the harvest festival of other families for no definite reason was an act that did not correspond to the forestside lesson.

"Tomorrow from Jomtien, you have a job to carry chairs, tables, etc., right? Kind regards, … then."

"Oh, wait a minute! This is an idea for this occasion - next time we get a rest period, why don't we have a harvest festival like the Lew family?

"Huh?"

"Since the last rest period, the nearby clans would have taken days off from hunters' work, wouldn't they? I was wondering if we could all celebrate together."

Tour-Din and Yun-Sudra have stepped themselves out of their luggage cars on time.

"Wow, do you mean that we will have a feast together? Along with Fa's house?

"Yeah. It was only Fa, Din and Sudra and Fou and Run who made the rest period the same day, wasn't it? And Lid's supposed to be in Din's neighborhood, too, so why don't we celebrate with those six families?

In them, Fou and Ran, Din and Lid are family members, but Fa and Sudra have no blood edge anywhere. but they face each other like every day due to the work of the planting, the handiwork of the dishes, etc., and nowadays they also use a smoked cabin jointly. If we keep the relationship so close, would it be acceptable enough to share the joy of the harvest?

"Of course Din and Lid are Zaza's family, so you'll need Graf-Zaza's recognition, and I don't know if the parents of each family will agree with you in the first place.... my eye-fa fumbled too"

"No, if you're a parent lyelfam, you're sure to agree! Instead, guzzles, rats, etc. that are off the rest days will be a shame!

"Din's parents, I'm sure, will agree.... and I wonder if Zaza's parents will forgive me too happily"

Tour-Din and Yun-Sudra looked really happy to me.

"Oh well. Then for one thing, shall I talk to everyone else?... I'm starting to think it might be our parents who are most reluctant."

"Then let Asta persuade you to do her best."

With a lovely smile, Yun-Sudra has said so.

Ever since we had a stepped in conversation in Sauti's settlement, she feels brighter and stronger than ever.

"It should be about a month before we get a period of rest, right? Oh, I kind of can't wait now! Thanks for the great suggestion, Asta!

"No, you're welcome"

That's how they walked away from us in a spirit.

Yamil-Ray shrugs his shoulders as he follows with his eyes the shadow of his dwarfing luggage car.

"Even though it's a feast today, we're not talking about the next feast anymore. I wonder if a feast is such a pleasure."

"It's fun. I'm sure by the end of the day, Yamil-Ray will be thinking the same."

Speaking of which, Yamil-Ray did not even attend Dan-Rutim's birthday feast, so he only attended dinner at the Lou family, which invited the Zulo-Sungs, or at the Sauti family, which bore the Lord of the Woods.

None of them was a gathering that could be called a feast while lavish dishes were being prepared. It is today that Yamil-Ray should also be able to experience the pleasure and splendour of the Luu family feast.

"Then let's go. Lara-Lu will be on the other side of the van."

Me and Yamil-Ray stepped foot in Luu's settlement on foot.

Really, a tremendous amount of enthusiasm is coming at us.

It was a harvest festival three times a year, and this time it was a great feast for all the families. More than a hundred members of Lew's family have been gathered in the square since daylight, and this was the first sight I've ever seen.

Again, the fun is different from the night. A large number of people are cheering in the daylight of daylight as it descends brightly. At its centre is the power comparison of the hunter.

"Wow, I knew it was starting! Who and who would that be?

This one is a member of the Lou family who returned in a luggage car, also raising his voice as he descends to the ground. There are four of them: Lara-Luu and Raina-Lu, Ama Min-Rutim and Zwei. In this crowd, even putting the luggage back in the main house would be one struggle.

"That sounds like Lilyn's parents and Maam's eldest brother.... Raina-Lou, what shall we do?

"Right. I'll look for Sheila-Lou to see how you're getting ready, so please wait near the main house"

The women seemed to be supposed to enjoy watching the power comparison between them while taking turns keeping Kamado.

It is also hoped that this time I will prepare one dish for everyone, rather than one dedicated to the winner. The most laborious preparation under that dish to date should have been taken by the Balshas at the main house in Luu.

In the meantime, five people, with the exception of Raina-Lou, who disappeared in the crowd, march cursorily along the edge of the square while pulling their luggage.

I guess the feast is already being prepared in Kamadu everywhere. Around, along with the enthusiasm and cheer of the people, there was also a scent that stimulated the appetite center.

"Yo, you're back. That was fast."

And, finally, around half way past the square, Rudd-Lou spoke to me.

The cape, the knife off, the lightweight outfit. Instead, there is also the figure of Rau-Ray.

"Hey, haven't you two joined the force comparison yet?

"Hmm? I've already won three. Was Rau-Ray the two of us?

"What! You've already won three out of this bright?

It was Lara-Luu who gave the voice of surprise.

In comparison to the power of the hunters of the Lew family, they are able to break through the qualifying round by winning three first. If they lose twice before winning three times, they lose the qualifying round, and if they reach eight humans who win three times, the qualifying round ends. That's how the eight of them hold a tournament to determine the winner.

"Uh, me and Rau-Ray, we could have been eight brave guys last time. A hunter who can be a brave man will be challenged from the next."

"Mm-hmm. Especially this time, because Donda-Lou and Dan-Lutim can't participate. Giza-Lou and Gazran-Rutim won three too early."

Yes, Donda-Lou and Dan-Lutim, who fought in the last final, are in short supply of injuries.

Moreover, Ai-Fa is similarly wounded, so as many as three of the last eight brave men were to be absent.

By the way, Darum-Lou, who has injured his right palm, is also absent, and Lau-Ray, who was to sew a few stitches in the head, is apparently in the race.

"Um... so, what about Sin-Lu?

"Sin-Lu is still only doing it with me. Speaking of which, I didn't see you earlier."

"What! Sin-Lu challenged Rudd again!?

"That's right. You know, every time I look at you."

"Because you've never beaten Rudd once! Even Sin-Lu could be eight brave men if he didn't challenge Rudd."

And, Lara-Lew swoops his cheeks.

"Uh, I did get strong enough to see Sin-Lu differently this time. If that's the case, I guess we can beat the three of us after this."

Rudd-Lou glanced at him glimpsely after he looked swallowed.

"I just can't give up this time either. You can't beat anybody until you defeat him."

"What's that guy? Oh, you mean Mida?

"Mida always rolls over, so that's enough. If I told you it was him, it was him."

and Rudd-Lou looks to the center of the square.

Two new hunters were just about to advance from behind referee Ra-Rutim.

"Is that it, Gida? Didn't Zida say she wouldn't join the force comparison?

"Oh. I slapped him in the ass. I have to settle with him."

Apparently, Rudd-Lou was younger than himself and had a stronger sense of confrontation with the little Zida of his body.

If you ask why, apparently it was Zida's arrow that shot through the right eye of the Lord of the Woods in the settlement of Sauti the other day.

Rudd-Lou, proud of his bow arm, apparently stirred up a struggle with it. but of course I'm not in the mood to turn that into negative emotions, so I want to compare my arms with Zida in a dignified manner, it seems to be burning.

"That's his third opponent, too. Of course, I haven't lost a single time, so now you're one of eight brave men."

"Hmm. Sure, he's going to stand on his arm, too. If you hit me, I'll beat you."

Rau-Ray is Rau-Ray, who has been burning his eyes like a hound since just now. This one seems unwilling to fail to make certain achievements in the crusade of the Lord of the Woods.

All hunters have equal merit, Dan-Rutim and others said, but there are still aspects to the bloody youth that will entertain all kinds of enthusiasm.

"Rud-Luu, Giza Luu and Gazran Rutim without three, Gida and Mida without two? It's time for me to be challenged by the third."

"Yeah? Is it forbidden to challenge yourself?

"Oh. It is a lesson to wait to be challenged, because you have been given the title of brave man. Someone wants to be challenged by the boney one."

When Rau-Ray approached him like that, there was someone slipping through the crowd and approaching him.

"Ah, Sin-Lu!," Lara-Lew shouts out loud.

He nodded back there and then Sin-Lu stood in front of Rau-Ray.

"Rau-Ray, can you hope to get along with me?

Indeed, Rau-Ray burned both eyes so hard that Lara-Rau said, "Hey!," he whispered.

"What's next for Rudd, Rau-Ray? Why do you keep challenging such an armed hunter? Both Rudd and Rau-Ray are the brave guys from last time, right?

"That's why. Apparently Mida has been challenged by other hunters, and only Rau-Ray has his hands free in the last brave"

Sin-Luu himself was a depositional face as usual.

In return, Rau-Ray speaks up "ho".

"So? Did you think it would be easier for me to give if I were the other guy? As we go through the archery, we should be able to compete with you for five minutes, right, Sin-Lu?

"... in the power comparison, wasn't it for real to challenge a strong hunter?

Sin-Lu leaned his little neck rather keenly.

Rau-Ray grins with a hounding grin.

"You did. Hi, I haven't been feeling well lately. Let's apologize here for spouting words that tarnish your pride."

"Stick around, don't worry about it. If you're going to be challenged, let's stay put."

"Oh, okay."

That's how the two young hunters disappeared, and Lara-Lew said, "Chih!" He gave a murmuring voice.

"This time, I thought Sin-Lu could be a brave man. Nah. I can't believe Dad Donda and Dan-Rutim can't compete with each other. It's not like that!

"Bye. You can't be a brave man who thinks so little. You're the hunter when you defeat a strong opponent."

While we were having that conversation, Zida had won.

As Rudd-Lou declared, he won three of his guests and was elected one of the brave men.

Somehow, it is a fast forward reminder of the last Ai-Fa.

"Oh, Mida next? Uh, they're... they're Lilyn's parents."

"Lilyn's parents? Didn't you have an affair with Maam's eldest brother earlier?

"Oh. I was beating Ji-Mayam in no time."

Speaking of Ji-Mayam, he must have been the most immense hunter in the family of Luu, except for Mida. At the last harvest festival, I remember going back to the settlement and being shown the game between him and Ai-Fa, cooling my liver.

"The Lilyn people arrived late, so maybe they rushed to find the other guy. Still, it's quite a fine hunter to deal with Ji-Mayam and Mida in a row."

I was intrigued by Rud-Lew's words, and I watermarked the center of the square, too.

Standing in front of a giant mida even in the distance is a magnificent man who is not characteristic of this. He is middle-bodied and has a slightly gray head.

"Um, I don't really remember Lilyn's parents. But last time, I felt like I was losing to my dad and Dan Rutim."

"More than that, you're a fine hunter to challenge both of them."

When I say, Rud-Lew says, "Hmm?," he frowned.

"Wait a minute, okay? Speaking of which, even at the harvest festival before that, it's like Lilyn's parents were dealing with her father and Dan-Rutim... no way, you only challenge those two every time?

"Really? But, you know, every time in the last ten years, Donda-Lou or Dan-Lutim has been decorating the winner, right?

"Oh. Besides, neither of you have beaten anyone else in the last five or six years."

Now, if Lilyn's parents really only challenged those two every time, they would have had two black stars on at that point and lost without competing with anyone else.

"But whoever does anything that extreme..."

A cheer wore over Rudd-Lou's voice.

Looking back, Mida fell behind her and was being offered a hand by Lilyn's parents.

"It is the victory of Gillan-Lillin in Lillin's house! Don't leave Mida at Lew's house!

The referee Ra-Rutim's voice sounds good.

"Heh," Rud-Lew nodded his tongue like a tiger child.

"Whatever it is, the power of Lilyn's parents is real. This guy's getting interesting."

Even without Donda-Lou or Dan-Rutim, the Hunter's power comparison seemed to lack any glory at all.

No, rather, with the absence of two of the great fates, it may be that they are presenting and uplifting the look of the conflagration.

Thereafter it was a match between Sin-Luu and Rau-Ray, and Sin-Luu was to win over the Great Encounter.

Rau-Ray didn't like the type that was smaller and more agile than he was, but he is still one of the brave ones. Sin-Lu, who defeated it, was to be spared a cheer of praise.

"Yay! If you can beat Lau-Ray, maybe you can beat both of them!

Lara-Lew is completely in game mode, and we missed the time to head out.

Ama Min-Rutim sneaked up on me, wondering what was going on.

"Asta, I will go to the main house alone. Maybe Rayna-Lew is looking for you.... Ask the women who help Asta cook if they need Asta's help."

"Oh, thank you for your attention"

Leaving a very cool smile, Ama Min-Rutim disappeared across the crowd.

And there again Lara-Luu's shivering voice sounds.

"What! Why are you challenging Ji-Mayam this time?!? Oh, I'd love to snap your head off already!

Sin-Lu, who had just finished the game, was already in line with Ji-Mayam.

If I remember correctly, Sin-Lu should have been defeated by Ji-Mayam compared to the last power.

(If I don't get a chance to exchange the knife with that man in the future, I need to brush my arm. Otherwise, you'll be tormented by your weakness for the rest of your life)

The words Sin-Luu had mentioned a few days ago resuscitate in the back of his brain.

Sin-Lu's delay in San Jura led him to seek strength more than ever before.

(If I was in Lara-Lew's shoes, I might have felt similar. But -)

If this was a culinary battle, I might have acted the same way Sin-Lu did.

Though I suppress it as much as possible, I can't beat it.

(Both Sin-Lu and someone named Gilan-Lilin - no, I guess the hunters of Lu's family are all challenging this battle with splendid aspirations)

Thereafter, Sin-Luu was to beat not only Ji-Mayam, but also Rutim's second brother in the main house.

Moreover, Gillan-Lillin won three unharmed consecutive victories, and Mida and Rau-Ray, who suffered one loss, also grabbed a new victory, and eight brave men were elected here.
