347 Twenty-fourth Day of the Purple Moon ① - Chiefs and Elders

Thus, on the 24th day of the purple month the following day, Grandma Ziva and Donda-Lou were to descend into the Inn Town.

This is not a half-baked story. Grandma Ziva, the only elder to know the times of the Black Forest, not only in the Lou family but also by the woods, descends into that bustling lodging town. As Ziza-Lou had suggested, in the unlikely event that it would harm itself, the hunters of the Lou family would have to weigh the forestside code more than the laws of Genos to retaliate against its sinners.

Of course, there is no greater danger because "I am the oldest". There's no reason why the oldest elders should be targeted. Then it can be said that that is how more dangerous are the young daughters who actually interact with drunkards and outlaws.

So what we all feared was only a sudden occurrence.

Like last night, the risk of catastrophe from total coincidence is always stubborn. At that time, Grandma Ziva does not have enough physical ability to avoid danger than Limi-Lu. So I could fully understand how Ziza-Lou would feel if something happened to Grandma Ziva.

That is why the hunter of the escort was to be increased by up to sixteen.

Six of them were escorted exclusively by Grandma Ziva, and the remaining ten were escorted by Kamadu.

So, since we can't get on the carrier, it was thorough for some people to go down to town on foot beforehand and join up afterwards.

The members of the escort also have a blush that exceeds "Dawn Day".

In addition to the familiar members: Ai-Fa, Rud-Ruh, Darm-Ruh, Sin-Ruh, Gazran-Rutim, Dan-Rutim, Rau-Ray, Gilan-Lilin, Ji-Mayam, they were also elected hunters with one of the leading powers in Ruh's family.

The luggage carriage carried by Grandma Ziva and Donda-Lou is accompanied perfectly by two hunters inside and four outside, heading straight to the outdoor area without stopping anywhere. Having rented a stall and then chased me to it, I was to take a report from Sheila-Lou and Lara-Lou, who were escorting Grandma Ziba, that for once the people and guards of the town would never be suspicious.

If that's how you get to your usual space, now it's time to arrange your luggage.

Totos and luggage cars are always kept in empty spaces in the back of the stall to avoid disturbance. So, Jidula's luggage carriage goes in and out of business to pick up Mim, so it was always placed at the south end of the street, and Grandma Jiba's Luggage Car in Lulu was to be scuffed in by Gilu and Fafa's luggage.

So, instead of Grandma Ziva, Rudd-Lou and Dan-Lutim always refrain, and four hunters are placed in outfits surrounding the luggage. For that role, fierce men were elected: Darum-Lou, Gazran-Rutim, Lau-Ray and Guillain-Lilin.

"It's a lot more tedious, even though it wasn't decided to be attacked by a burglar."

Fay-Baim, who was preparing the stall with me, says so with a murky face.

"Yeah, because this isn't just a matter for the Lew family, it could even develop into a relationship between Moribe and Genos. No matter how prepared you are, it doesn't mean over-prepared."

"... I understand that Ziba-Lou, the oldest who lived longer than anyone, is to be honored."

Above all else.

I also understand that this disgruntled look of Fay-Baim comes from nervousness and anxiety.

Anyway, when the manning was completed, Grandma Ziva's small figure was finally revealed from the other side of the front that was pulled open.

At the rear of the carrier, Grandma Ziva sits down, and instead, Donda-Lou claws. So, to the left and right of it, Rudd-Lou and Dan-Lutim stand side by side.

If we did, we'd be in the same mood to start doing business with your honor behind our back.

"Why don't I-Fa follow you by Grandma Ziva's side today, too?

I tried to suggest it that way, but I-Fa just shook his head quietly.

"With Rudd-Lou and Dan-Lutim by her side, the Ziva woman can't catch her breath either. I just do my job."

Well, it's only about two meters away between the luggage car and the stall. You could always speak up, so maybe you didn't have to worry so much.

Among other things, business began today.

Once the business starts, no customers bother to turn their attention to the back of the stall. We concentrated on doing our job as usual, with our normal minds.

Today's daily menu is "Giva Cuttle" for the first time in five days.

However, the use of lard was abandoned in order to increase the quantity, and it was decided to use the oil of Leten.

The oil of Leten is an oil of vegetable origin with a flavour close to that of olive oil.

The people of the woodland preferred, among other things, 'giva cutlets' made from lard, but even the oil of lethen does not make the flavor disappear extremely. The impression is that it has a neater flavor than lard, so much so that the clothing turns into a crisper, lighter texture.

Again, "Giba Katsu" could be very well received.

They didn't have many customers inside who sincerely awaited the reappearance of 'Giba Katsu'. Sometimes the Tul-din stall was a hazy 'Giva Curry', and the 'Giva Katsu' stall was to have the longest queue.

As Jomtien approached him, Mim and Yumi appeared in time.

As soon as I realized Grandma Ziva's presence, Yumi said, "Is that it?" and lean his neck.

"That's the chief of the Lew family, isn't it? Looks like your injury hasn't healed yet, but you came down to town?

"Yeah. You're with the oldest today."

"The Eldest? Oh, that little grandma? Maybe it's the grandmothers of the Rud-Lu's?

"No, that's my grandmother, Donda-Lou."

"Heh, some folks live such long lives by the woods! Mim, let's go say hello together.... Oh, what about Luia?

Luia shook her neck sideways in a panic as she was pressured by the ambience.

Has Yumi convinced you that after that day, there is no way for her to get close to Sin-Lu?

As I fried my new cutlets in an iron pan, I snuck up on their encounter.

"Oh, you are the daughters of the town selling Giva dishes... I am so grateful to you..."

Grandma Ziva's voice comes through loudly.

The corresponding voice of Yumi was vigor itself.

"This way, Asta and the Lew family are taking care of you! Stay tuned!

"Nice to meet you," Mim said, bowing her head behaving as well.

This is my second face-to-face meeting with Donda-Lou, and the familiar Rudd-Lou and Dan-Rutim seemed to have led me to greet Grandma Ziva without them being distracted.

"Oh, yeah! Why don't you and the elders eat the food from our store, too, if you like? We lose to Asta and Lew people, but this one's pretty popular, too, huh?

"Right. My dishes, too!

"Thanks hey... I can't eat that much, but I'd be so happy to have just one bite..."

"Then you just have to eat the rest of it Rudd-Lou. Our okonomiyaki, it was delicious, wasn't it?

"Well, I guess it's good for people in town."

"Wow, yeah! I guess I'll just punch in the chit fruit for Rudd-Lou to eat."

That's why Yumi and Mim prepared for Grandma Ziva and Donda-Lou even before opening the store for important dishes.

Instead of frying "giva cutlets," I entrust them with a wooden dish and a meat cutter, and Grandma Giva asks them to cut the dish into small pieces because she has weak teeth.

"Oh, this guy is delicious... isn't he amazingly delicious..."

"Once again -. Whatever Mim is, our food isn't that far, is it? Prepare to lose flavor when you can't use high value ingredients."

"No, they're really both delicious... I'm glad, maybe they feel extra delicious..."

The people of the woods have no such lesson as to flatter themselves with the good and the bad of cooking. So I guess that was a heartfelt word for Grandma Ziva.

"Uhm, if you were watching, you'd be hungry this way! My daughters, I'm going to get the copper ready now, so sell me one at a time!

"Uh, I'm just an extra Ziva lady, too. Then I'm short. I'll take care of the others, so sell me another one."

"Every time! I'll cook it in a minute, so I'm not waiting."

I pulled the fox-colored cutlet up on the iron net.

While waiting for that oil to run out, Fay-Baim calls me "that".

"What are you smiling at like that? I'm sorry, it's creepy."

"I'm sorry for your loss."

If they were listening to such a soothing conversation, I'd loosen one of my cheeks.

Sneaking a sneak peek, Ai-Fa was also laying her eyes down with some terribly calm look.

How does Grandma Ziva feel right now?

This many guests fill the Giva food stalls, and more than a hundred people enjoy a lively meal in the Blue Sky Dining Room. Not only the people of the east and the south, but even the people of the west, including the people of Genos, who were so repellent of the people of the woods, are paying copper coins to buy the dishes of Giba and show so much enthusiasm.

At the beginning of the stall, even the people of the south were to see it with white eyes. They were not afraid of Gibba, but the people of the woods were a clan of traitors who had abandoned Jagal, the southern god. From the beginning it was about the Sims people with no such bad luck who mouthed Giva dishes without any problems.

That's how different people now delight in Guiba's cooking.

Many people will still fear the people of Giba and the woodland in the lodging towns and daleims, and maybe not many people in the castle towns have contempt. Those people don't try to get close to this place, so maybe we're just looking at all the good faces and stroking our breasts.

But after only six months, we were able to fill the ditch so far.

I was able to soften the sense of fear and abhorrence that has been cultivated over the long years of eighty years. In another year, in ten years, in eighty years, we will be able to have a better relationship. That's how we squeeze our power.

(Grandma Ziva moved to this Genos when she was about five.)

The people of the woods moved to the land, burning the black woods of the south to war, not to be soldiers of Jagal, but to abandon their homeland and the gods to serve.

Approximately 1,000 people have made it this far safely. Out of interaction with the outside world, perhaps with the fur of a black monkey wrapped around it, hanging a weapon that was not metal, the people of a foreign country with the glances of the beast came to this Genos in large numbers. How much the surprise and fear of the people of Genos at that time would have been.

Even the then lord of Genos, who ordered that only Gibba be hunted and lived by the Morga woods, must have thought to isolate the people by the woods from feelings of fear.

No, for a moment, I might even have thought that these terrible barbarians should be destroyed by the vicious Gibba.

Now the people of the woods have lost half their compatriots in just a few years.

But the people of the woods lived.

He struck down the fur of the black monkey and instead wrapped it around the fur of Gibba, trembling at the joy of eating meat, gaining a steel weapon at the price of fangs and horns, how tough he survived its harsh raw.

Thus, when the threat of Gibba diminished by the activity of the people by the woods, now all the people by the woods became fearful.

Heavier than the laws of the capital, it hunts even vicious giva, blind to the people and events of the outside world. Taking in the power of Gibba, the people by the woods gained further strength. Such a people by the woods have now been worshipped by the symbol of calamity.

There must have been numerous misunderstandings there.

There must also have been a thought that this is too far from us - not a misunderstanding.

Because of their cleanliness and pride, the people by the woods were not afraid of misunderstanding or loneliness. Even the people by the woods thought the people of the town were far from themselves, and I think they were turning away.

Grandma Ziva has continued to reflect such various events over the course of eighty years.

With what thoughts is Grandma Ziva staring at this sight now? For a young man like me, it was even hard to imagine.

"Hey, I'm a little late today."

And the voice of a girl, including laughter, breaks my thoughts.

When I realized, the travelers' faces stood in front of the stall.

Pinot the bender, Niya the bard, Doga the monstrous man, the twin Arun with a face named Amin.

"I'll ask you to eat in the usual quantity today. I'll leave the dedication to you."

"Yes, thank you every time.... but you all looked like you liked this' giva cutlet ', didn't you? I can serve" Giba-Man "and" Myrmu Grilled "on another day, so let's combine all the juice, curry and" Giba Cutlet ""

"Oh, I'm aware of that. I can leave it to my brother Sun."

"Now please wait while I finish what I'm missing"

I throw a loin dressed in an iron pan.

In the meantime Niya sent another autumn wave to Ai-Fa without any sexual punishment, and Pinot watched it with cold eyes.

When those black eyes were turned all the way to the rear of the stall, Pinot said, "Ooh?" He raised his voice.

"There's a lot of fine hunter Sun over there again. I didn't mean to see it, but is that someone with a name?

"Oh, that's a forest chief. You're also the head of the Lew family who work there."

"... Forestside Chieftain Sun," Pinot narrows his eyes.

"Then I greet you on the night of" Dawn Day, "you mean the father of Giza-Lou...? This guy is in trouble. I need to wake up the fuzzy sitter."

"Huh? Something wrong with the sitter?

"Atashi and his brother Sun Yan, our customers, were caught in the dark. That night, I asked the chief to apologize, but he stuck me saying that it was unnecessary."

Saying, Pinot lags behind softly.

"I let you do your job over here, Doga. I'll call the sitter."

"Oh, wait a minute! Before we do that, I think we should see if the chief accepts that!

One nod from the eye-fa that got my gaze and runs over to the luggage car.

Before the cutlet fried, Ai-Fa came back and said.

"Accept the offer. But the words of apology are unnecessary."

"Thanks a lot for that one. Well, then, just wait a minute."

Pinot left flirtatiously and by the time "Giva Cuttlefish" was finished, he had returned with sitting director Gamray.

The other sitters disappear to carry the food, and Donda-Lou walks over to the stall with Rudd-Lou. Instead of Rud-Lu, Sin-Lu was called to accompany Grandma Ziba to hide the figure from the eyes of the Pinots.

"This is the ultimate in pleasure where you are busy. I'm the chairman of" Gamray's Seat, "and my name is Gamray."

Gamrays with red turbans, red long clothes, hiccups and ornaments, grace each other with a conceited trick.

He is an odd figure in the ship's eyeball arm, with long curly hair and a goat-like mustache on his thin mandible. Was it true that I don't like the sun, I'm making my eyes squishy with only one.

"It's one of the three chiefs by the woods, Donda-Lou, the head of the Lou family. I think my countrymen took care of me before this."

Donda-Lou stood between the stalls of 'Giba Katsu' and 'Giba-Man' and looked down arrogantly at the Gamrays.

I don't suppose you are willing to be resolutely close to Grandma Ziva because you should have heard about his obscure flames.

"As I said earlier, I have no feelings I can apologize to you. My compatriots came to you of their own free will, and I hear that you protected your compatriots from the bandits. What the hell am I supposed to apologize for?

"That's right, I let the customer pull the knife out, so let's just say it's a hell of a long way off. You have to enjoy the arts without any worries while you're in that tent, but it's a completely bad hit."

"... I see. I understand that you are very proud of your work. Keep up the good work."

"That guy is once again the ultimate in pleasure.... so I wanted to give you back the bronze coin you admitted, but I knew you wouldn't accept it?

"That's exactly what my son talked about yesterday. I don't have the muscle to give back what I paid for."

"Really? I'm sorry to hear that."

And, Gamray sees Donda-Lou soaking up from the bottom.

Somehow, he was an extremely inexperienced person, although he did not look like a bad man, just like Pinot.

"But then, neither can this one subside.... So the next time you go to the tent, you won't be charged for admission, right?

"What?"

"Or does it mean, after all, that we don't feel like bringing important compatriots closer to such a dangerous place in the future? If that's the case, I'm just gonna have to keep my head down until I'm convinced, too."

Even though he looked serious, Gamray's eyes felt like he was laughing.

The much more silent Pinot is like a doll, with her hands layered on the front side cutely.

"... you're an inedible man."

"Yes, such a poor man would turn that way, even a hungry beast."

"… I am not forbidden to allow my family to approach you. I told you not to use copper coins for nothing."

"It's superimposed. I promise I'll show you the art that matches copper coins."

Saying, Gamray moved his right arm softly toward Pinot.

Red, tiny flowers fall on the flat of both hands served by Pinot for many rounds.

I'm sure he's just dropping the flowers he was planting on the sleeve of his long coat, but it makes it look as if many rounds of flowers have been born off the palm of Gamray's hand. The customers who were lined up in the stall right next door were also giving a surprise twist.

"Fourteen names in all. Bring us this papula flower and you will enjoy our art without any copper coins, so please take it and do it."

Take Donda-Lou's gaze and receive the flower as if Ai-Fa had none.

What is it at a time like this, but with red flowers all over his hands, Ey-Fa was a little unusual to love.

So, we're done here.

"Wait a minute," Gamray said as Donda-Lou tried to pull herself back.

"This guy is a completely different story, isn't he? The forest chief had a ritual he wanted to ask for."

Donda-Lou narrowed his eyes silently.

Gamray smiles as he puts his eyes together.

"Are there delightful beasts lurking in the woods and mountains of Morga, headed by Giba? Would you excuse us for capturing him?

"... what?

"Let's hear it, we gather rare beasts from all over the world to plant art. I've been watching the beasts of Morga for a long time."

"Do you want me to plant art on Morga's beast?"

In Donda-Lou's eyes, two flames and a blue flame begin to gush.

"I'll tell you first. Stepping into the mountains of Morga is an unacceptable contraindication to anyone. Know that this is not the code we have set, but the law of Genos.... vandalizing the mountains of Morga, touching the wrath of the wolves of Valve, the serpents of Madarama and the red wildlings, Genos is supposedly doomed"

"Oh, he's horrible."

"... Speaking of which, I hear you are bringing people and beasts with you as compatriots. I don't think so, but who is he?"

"Oh, Zetta is an unfortunate child born between Varm's black monkeys and people... and quite ostensibly she decides that, but either way she will never be a Morga wildlings. It's not red, it's black."

"Right. You didn't have to let the Genos soldiers strangle you."

With a voice at the bottom, Donda-Lou said so.

"Anyway, Mount Morga is an unacceptable and forbidden land for any human being to enter.... and hunting Gibba lurking in the woods at the foot of that mountain is the job of our people by the woods. Is that how you're offering to go into the hunting grounds of the forest people and capture Gibba?

Yeah, if that's what you're allowed to do.

Gamray laughed floating as he was broiled by flaming eyes.

"Will that be contraindicated? However, vandalizing the grace of the forest should be forbidden by the laws of Genos, but is it forbidden for humans who are not forest people to hunt Giva?

"… there exists a law that if a person in a town is ever to step into a forest"

"Well, you don't know the addition or subtraction of Misato. If you ask the town guards, they'll just scold you not to let anything foolish slip by."

Somehow, it was a lukewarm and irresistible phrase.

I thought this might as well be called by Gazran-Rutim, but would that have been too rude an idea for Donda-Rou? Donda-Lou returned his words to Gamlay, who remained fiercely burning his eyes, yet without roughing up his voice.

"Until now, no one would have come up with anything as ridiculous as that, so maybe even the laws of Genos do not provide for certainty. But we have a forest code."

"Well, the Forestside Code."

"First, the family has a hunting ground for each family. I don't even know where the trap is set in the hunting grounds of the rest of my family. The code must be upheld in order to protect the lives of all people."

"Ugh."

"Secondly, it is contraindicated to use poison to tailor giva. It's a strong contraindication to bring poisonous grass that doesn't exist in Morga, or to make it impossible to eat Giva meat with poison."

"I see. Sim's poison grass doesn't seem to have to rot meat, depending on how it's used."

"Thirdly, the Morga Forest is also a territory of Genos, so we cannot let it imitate on its own without the Lord's permission. Either we're allowed to capture Giva to make it a spectacle, or it's not us who decides that, but Lord Malstein of Genos."

"Oh, that's the most troublesome thing. There's no reason why noblemen like me should have eyes on you."

In a cheap state, Gamray shrugs his thin shoulders of meat.

"It's just, well, there's only one of us, because we have a blurry bard that can get into and out of Castle Town. Shall I entrust him with a wish?"

…………

"But with the Lord's forgiveness, can we go after Gibba without disturbing everyone by the woods?

"That would require hunters by the woods to act together. Only Lord Genos can order us to do that."

That said, Donda-Lou twisted his mouth to the lid.

It is an invincible, beastly grin that gave only a few glimpses yesterday.

"We're not going to move a finger for the rest of us unless we have the Lord's orders. And if an unreachable thing emerges that roughs up the hunting grounds without any news, it will be cut off according to the woodland code. That's all I can say."

"I understand the phase. Let us keep up with these repetitions and offer our heartfelt thanks to the elders. Thank you again for your time."

And Gamray turned himself away, as he praised him.

Pinot sneaks up on us as we pull ourselves back in the same way.

"Sitter Bukura has taken care of you. Don't give me a break because I'll keep an eye on you to make sure you're not all a nuisance."

That's how Pinot disappeared across the crowd, too, and Rud-Lew poked his arms up to heaven, "Ah," he said.

"They're just really crazy people. Something reminded me of an old man named Camus."

"Hmm. I knew you thought so too."

Donda-Lou erases the grin of the beast and shrugs his jawbeard at the depth of his thoughts.

"When we get back to the settlement, Zaza and Sautti need to run Totos, too. Depending on that, we might end up in the woods with those jokes."

Really, will such a thing come to pass?

Whether it is to be welcomed or not, even if it is me, I am lost in judgment.

But, well, I wouldn't be able to offer you any trouble like that during Easter. Just an expedition to Castle Town is a lot of hassle, so I can't afford to carry any more burdens.

Donda-Lou and Rudd-Lou went back to Grandma Ziva and I decided to concentrate on my current job.
