375 Welcome Banquet ① ~ Invitation ~

The day after dawn, the tenth day of the silver moon.

The day was finally a welcoming feast to invite the people of the town to the woods.

In the settlement of Lou, we were set to prepare for the feast from Jomtien, but we are normally open as usual down to Inn Town. In Inn Town, where the Easter aftertaste had finally been wiped out, we had 800 meals and judged which dishes.

The number of stalls was back about the same as before Easter, so our space is being pulled back a lot to the south side. The tent of "A Seat of Gamleys" had been withdrawn three days earlier, leaving open plenty of unmanned space on the front and north sides.

In the meantime, our business went well.

The number of stalls also remains at five. Employees were likely to be able to secure it without any problems, so they plan to dare to do business in this form for a while. At the stall I was in charge of, as always, I was allowed to try different dishes on the daily menu.

So, the Blue Sky Dining Room also remains its original size, but the space just roofed on the flat ground expires today. It was the twenty-second day of the purple moon on Dawn Day that I borrowed here, so I dressed for two periods and twenty days. Using that as a milestone, we set tomorrow as a holiday.

Accommodation Town has also regained its calm, which means that the escort has finally disappeared. Only thirteen Kamadu and Sufila-Zaza are here. The hunters of Luu's family enter the Nokimi Forest, and Ai-Fa is trained to regain power at home. From about this time on, we finally got the feeling that we were regressing on a daily basis.

"Nevertheless, it has only been half a month since my newcomer, I, still put myself in this kind of life. If you're still distracted, you'll feel like you're turning your eyes."

And, where I have successfully sold out the product and started cleaning up afterwards, Fay-Baim has stated that.

Baim's house was the slowest place to start helping. But even if I try to be a Gaz or Ratz lady, it hasn't been a month since I started helping. If only we had overcome our poor perception of the people of the Accommodation Town, we would not have seen any disgusting color in the workmanship of Fay-Beim.

As planned, they are helping me with street work on a daily basis. In the stalls of Fa's house, three from among Baym, Dagola, Gaz, and Ratz, and in the stalls of Lew's house, two from among Ray, Min, and Mufa, each help us. Until the rainy season came and new changes occurred in the guests' feet, they were willing to engage in commerce in this system.

"Fay-Baim doesn't participate in today's feast, does he? I'm sorry to hear that."

If I put it that way, my usual grumpy eyes made me jerk off.

"Normally, it's not such a casual addition to a banquet in a spare house, etc. Not to mention the feast of the Luu family of the chieftaincy muscle. Sudra and Din, who allow it, are stranger around the woods."

"Oh, Yun-Sudra and Tour-Din weren't allowed to attend the harvest festival either, because they were allowed to stay in the settlement of Sauti. When you get along with Fa's house, you tend to get caught up in that kind of thing."

…………

"I would like you to encourage me to keep up with Baym and Dagola like that in the future"

"Something tells me you're going to be drawn to a bad road."

Fay-Baim turns his back.

It was also a great step forward for me to be able to have such a cheerful conversation with her where it was difficult to say no.

There was a shadow approaching from the northern direction.

I was meeting you on this occasion, it's Michelle and Mime.

"Thank you for waiting. Best regards, Asta"

"Hi, thanks.... but it's the Lew family who say hello, so say hello."

"Oh, excuse me! Regards, Sheila-Lou to Lara-Lou"

Today's Luu family duty was those two. Ama Min-Rutim also greets her lovingly, but Yamil-Ray and Zwei are in the process of cleaning up with strange faces.

"The Yummies are Kimmus's Tail Pavilion, right? Shall we, too, be on our way?

"Oh, wait a minute. I'm sorry, but we still have people meeting at this place. I wonder if we'd all like to act together if we could."

"Oh, really? But Tara and the others travel in their own luggage, right?

"Yeah, because there's a lot of people there today. I have a new guest apart from that...... Oh, is that it?

bustling streets at noon, but their appearance was quite remarkable. Though it is clear from height that he is a people of the west, he is accompanied by two men and women who are as deeply hooded as the people of the east.

"Welcome, I've been waiting for you."

"Oh," one of them nodded, taking the hood off and turning back to Michelle. Seeing that, Michelle frowned a lot.

"It's a hiccup. Remember me, Michelle?

"It won't even be that long since we last looked at each other. I'm not that busy."

Roy smiles bitterly at Michelle's response, which has no shards of love.

Then the little fellow who stood in its place pushed Roy forward.

"I'll see you first. Michelle used to be the head chef at the Maiden Pavilion in White, right? My name is Siri-Low, and I am a disciple of Varcus, master of Silver Star Hall."

Michelle looked so grumpy that she turned from top to bottom.

"... even if they greet me like that, I guess they won't be able to tell the next time they see me"

"Oh, but I'm sorry. I don't like dusty places… I would like to greet you once again."

Siri-Low hid the lower half of his face in a shawl-like fabric today. So I'm even wearing a hood, so I certainly don't know what you look like with this.

I stuffed up so much more with Siri-Low, Mim's eyes shining brighter.

"Are you the disciple of that Vulcan? How could you be in a place like this?

"It's... there's a lot of things going on."

Siri-Low's voice, which was a lot more likely, sounds like the usual temperament.

On their way home yesterday, they offered Giza-Lou to attend the feast of the Lou family, which was an acceptable step.

Again, did Siri-Low also recall that he couldn't abandon the Kamadoku numbers by the woods, or was relieved of Sheila-Lou's honest words, dragged by Roy's enthusiasm again - I don't know the truth of the matter, but whatever the reason, this was an event that could also be called a feat for me because as many as two residents of Castle Town wanted to visit the settlement by the woods.

"All right, let's get going."

With four guests, we went for the Kimmus Tail Pavilion.

That's where I was waiting for Yumi and Terrier-Mass, plus Zidula's luggage truck that was picking me up from the settlement. We were coming down to town with three luggage cars, but we had 14 woodland people with six overcapacity guests.

"Hey, tired. Anyone can take the right ride."

It was Barsha, dressed as a warrior, who held the reins of that Zidula.

Just thinking, Michelle and Mim, the pair of Roy and Siri-Low decided to have you on board. Mim is close to Barsha, and Roy and the others will want to accompany Michelle.

I'll take the reins. For Gill's luggage, I asked Tul-din and Yun-Sudra to stay at the feast, and decided to invite Yumi and Terrier-Mass there. The rest of the members split into luggage cars from Ruulu and Fafa and have to leave.

That's how we arrived in the settlement of Luu, roughly two and a half moments. It was on time to return home, leaving only four hours for sunset.

Already in the settlement, the women have begun to prepare for the feast. It has a fairly authentic finish with easy kamadoku of stone assembly and a foundation for putting up fireworks all over the square. What was different from the usual feast was that the yakura was not organized.

"Now, now, if you'll excuse us. Tomorrow, as usual, we should gather at Fa's house around the middle of Jomtien and Sunset, right?

"Yes, thank you"

Fay-Baim and the three ladies head straight back to their homes in Fafa's luggage.

At that time, the unreliable scream of "hi."

If I wasn't mistaken in hearing it, it seemed to be Siri-Low's voice.

"What is it, Siri-Low?

In the meantime, I left my luggage on the spot, and I turned my foot toward the louder voice.

We all park at the end of the road because there's no more room in the square to get our luggage in. It seems that Siri-Low got off from there and was stuck on the dirt ground.

So, what stood in front of it was a little man in a strange leather mask, Zan from "A Seat of Gamlay".

Zan, with a long and successful arm like Orangutan, lowered his head with a pepper to the hedging Siri-Low before returning to his luggage car without sound.

"What the hell is going on...?

and the big man Doga peeks at his half from the same luggage car, confusing Siri-Low even more. Roy, who stood instead, was also staring back at Doga in a startled manner.

"Oh, excuse me. This is my first guest to come to the settlement of Luu - so I've never seen you before, so I'm a little surprised."

"Was it..."

Doga showed a slightly lost look before eventually crawling out of her luggage car.

In doing so, he is a half-naked big man well over two meters. Siri-Low was trembling and trembling, taking it under Roy's feet.

"I'm sorry I surprised you. We are stubborn travelers. I'm a lowlife who doesn't even have a house, but I will never behave illegally to the people of town, so please forgive me..."

"Ha, traveler? How could such a thing be in a settlement by the woods...?

"Therefore, we are staying here. Sorry for the eye smudge."

After stating so in a grunting voice, Doga went back into the luggage car with her palm.

I'll let Siri-Low and Roy and the others, who still can't get up, keep their heads down, too.

"Excuse me. I forgot to explain them. Never be a dangerous person, so don't worry."

"Well, you've got a lot of delightful people sitting around the woods. I've never seen a man as stupid as the North."

While stating so, Roy is also soaking cold sweat.

Then, from the settlement, I said, "What's up? I was called out."

Today it was a residual group, Raina-Lou. Hearing Siri-Low scream, he must have come out of the square.

"Oh, Rayna-Lew, it's nothing. I just ran into some sitters."

"Really," Raina-Lou said, staring at Roy and the others.

Siri-Low is an outfit still taken at Roy's feet.

"... Welcome to the settlement of Luu. The feast begins after sundown, but if you seem interested in Kamado's work, feel free to take a look."

"Oh, I'm sorry I pushed you where you're stuck."

Not answering that, Rayna-Lew finally turned away and went back to one square.

Siri-Low stands up like this, holding him around his heart.

"Are you all right? They don't seem as scary as they look. They all have amazing art."

and mime, who was wanting to see how things were a little further away, chuckles at Siri-Low.

Siri-Low has been clutching at me more, whilst the curtain collar looks bad.

"I've looked impudent. But all of a sudden, when you meet people like that, I think everyone will be surprised."

"Well, I didn't lose my back."

To Roy, who slaps his mouth lightly, he says, "I'm not losing my hips, either!," said Siri-Low all the time.

From the standpoint, Siri-Low should be a better player, but he doesn't have a formal employment contract, and Roy is sometimes older, which is how he is able to build a reassuring relationship.

"... so will you be attending today's feast as well...?

A lot more anxiously Siri-Law asked, Sheila-Law, who was freeing Lulu from the luggage car, replied "No".

"Those people are guests too, but I'm not going to let them attend the feast because I'm not allowing them to stay to deepen their interaction," he said.

"Really? It's a shame it's such an opportunity."

This, of course, is my statement, not Siri-Low.

Sheila-Lou nodded, "Right," with a calm expression.

After all, does that mean that not everyone in one seat has earned the trust from Donda-Lou?

Or if the sitter's gamleys weren't so frigid, it would seem to me and others that they could have had a slightly different relationship.

"We will now guide you to the settlement. Here you go."

That's how we finally set out to step into Luu's settlement with Sheila-Lu and the rest of us at the forefront.

Yumi shouts "heh" as she looks around at the busy working women and toddlers.

"Wow, you're just getting ready for the fire! Wow, I'm looking forward to the sun going down."

"Looks like Dora's dads aren't here yet. What do we do now?

"Uh, I'll look around appropriately, so you can leave me alone. Why don't you show them those new customers?

After saying that, I stuffed up with Siri-Low saying that Yumi should be.

"Hey, isn't it hot and bitter dressed like a Sim like that? And I wonder if coming to people's houses and keeping their faces hidden would be a little against courtesy?

As for Siri-Low and the others, he only tells them, "Chef of Castle Town" when they meet face-to-face. Yumi was curious and wary from the outset against the inhabitants in the stone walls, who would almost be able to see each other for the first time.

With such a slightly provocative word thrown at Yumi, Siri-Low looks a little mucky. but eventually she pulled the hood of her cape off momentously, and the textile on her mouth pulled down much closer to her chest as well.

She is an eighteen-year-old girl with brown hair up and strong glittering eyes. The age should only be one year younger for Yumi. but she didn't look much younger because her height is less Yumi, and besides, she has about the proposition after Vina-Lou.

"Hmm, you have a beautiful face. I was wondering if there was a cuter side to it because it was strangely stuck."

"... I don't want the first person to tell me what to look like."

"That's the one with the fighting hips. It's a fun feast, isn't it?

And suddenly Yumi went into an unbelievable outrage.

He put his hand over Siri-Low's face and pulled his cheek up from left to right.

"Look, smile at me. I need to get my love done."

"Ouch. Ouch! What do you do all of a sudden!

"That's the only way I can enjoy a feast. I'll see you later."

Yumi showed more white teeth or took Terrier-Mass's hand and ran away.

"What is it, that one! I can't believe I suddenly imitate that rambling......!

"Um, maybe she tried to relieve me of the tension for her own good. That's where the roots are. She's a nice girl."

Siri-Low is getting a little teary-eyed while holding his reddish cheeks with both hands.

Surely this is not the case in Castle Town. Her fate, which I was supposed to be in a cultural shock to keep standing, worried me too.

"Let's start by saying hello to the main house. You two must formally be allowed to stay in the settlement."

Sheila-Lou took me, and we started walking down the square.

Lara-Luu doesn't seem very interested in the visit of the Roys and has been much quieter since just now. How is yesterday's backdrop in Castle Town conveyed to Lara-Luu? Even for me, I was curious, but I couldn't get a chance to put it into conversation.

"Meer Ray-Lew is sure to be around for some time. This way please."

That's why the guide is Sheila-Lou. Ama Min-Lutim and Yamil-Ray broke up on the way and joined their compatriots who encouraged them to work, so this one was with Sheila-Lou and Lara-Lou, me and Tour-Din and Yun-Sudra, and nine of their four guests.

Connect the three tosses in the back of the house and head straight for how long. As Sheila-Lou expected, Mother Meer Ray was there. Along with Raina-Lou and Grandma Tito Min, she seems to have taken up Kamado's job.

"Hey, you're home, Lara. Good luck to Asta and the others. … and welcome to Lew's house, guests"

As usual, Mother Meer Ray laughs alot. The houses and family women who were gathered on the spot also had a rare gaze at the first visible Roy and Siri-Low.

"I'm Mia Ray-Lew, who's tying the women up at Lew's house. Can I check your name?

"I am the people of Genos, Roy."

"My name is Siri-Low"

"Yeah, you took care of our family yesterday. My oldest brother seems to have been impressed with your cooking."

Roy has his head on about how he can't decide what attitude to take.

"I'm just a cooking assistant, and it was this Siri-Low who did the cooking number job. More than that, I appreciate your sudden offer today."

"Yeah, there's no such thing as a town person who wants to come to the settlement. Just like the other customers, if you enjoy it."

Saying so, Mother Meer Ray smiled so flamboyantly.

"You're new to a forest settlement, aren't you? What do you think?

"I was amazed because it's really in the woods. … but you seem to be using quite a fine kamado"

Roy, who said so, already seemed interested in the inner part of his body. Mother Meer Ray, who noticed it, grinned and pulled herself out of the entrance.

"I hear you're interested in Kamado's work. It's not a big deal, but I need you to keep an eye on it until you feel better."

In the meantime, it appeared that the preparation of the juice dish was well under way. All five indoors have giant iron pans on them, giving them white smoke. I suppose it's a sardine where the meat and vegetables are simmered and the stock is taken.

"... here we are cutting the meat to be used later. We may not be able to satisfy your curiosity as we are still in the lower stages of preparation."

"That won't happen," Roy returned when Raina-Lou told him so with a slightly stiffer voice than usual.

"The most important thing in cooking is to prepare under it. You already know that, don't you?

…………

"Even if you take one way to cut meat, you can see that you're protecting the basics properly. Has this been handled by Asta?

"Yes, you're dressed like I handled the people in the main house, and they taught and spread it to the family members."

On the spot, there were some less recognizable women. I'm sure it would be a family lady attending the feast. Today, more than twenty families are gathered together, men and women.

"Let me see your knife, shall I?... Well, it sounds a lot cheaper, but the sharpening is impeccable."

Taking the meat cutting knife hung on the wall, Roy dimensioned it that way.

Surely there was no one by the woods who would try to buy an expensive cooking knife other than me, and on the other hand, a knife is an important item for hunters, so there should have been no leakage in how to take care of it.

Then for a while, Roy and the others watched the ladies work silently.

Cutting meat, releasing firewood into the kamado, adding water, taking ash juice - is a very common form of under-preparation. But the look of Roy and Siri-Low staring at it felt extremely serious.

"Is it fun just to watch like that?

Eventually Roy nodded, "Oh," when Mother Meer Ray inquired as she laughed.

"It's a little different than fun, though. It's interesting to see."

"I hope so.... Oh, Rayna, isn't it time to start getting ready over there?

"Yeah, you are. Then I'll be there."

Rayna-Lew tried to slip through Roy's side, so he said, "Where are you going? asked."

"… it's time to go round the piazza and grill the giva, so I'm going to do the handiwork"

"Well, I'd love to see him too, if I could."

So we're moving around too.

At the same time, the women who took on two givahs from another house show up strawberry. Firewood for ritual fire was piled high in the centre of the square, and the round roasting of the giva seemed to be cooked by means of a simple ceremonial teardrop arranged on its left and right sides.

"Is this Gibba? You're so small."

"… this is the giva of a child"

Still, it was likely to be about 40 kilometers with the guts removed. Skin only cooks hair without peeling, and the belly is packed with vegetables. Two such children, Gibba, from mouth to ass, were stuck with giant iron skewers, and they were put on top of each other.

"When I'm going to bake it for you, won't you be a little late for sunset?

It was Sheila-Lou, not Raina-Lou, who nodded "yes" to my words.

"We're going to serve this a little after the feast starts, because when we serve the giva whole bake, we all flock together. Wouldn't it be just right if you baked the other dishes around one mouthful?"

"Heh, you're calculating that far. It's a little awesome."

"I thought about Rayna-Lew."

The Raina-Lou teaches the ladies of the division to fire and subtract. Because Roy and the others are here, he seems to be a lot more concerned about it than he was earlier.

"Nevertheless, you got two gibberishes of kids. Couldn't you hand this over to one of the Gamleys unharmed?

"Yes. Even this giva is still overgrown," he said.

"Huh? How can you keep a younger giva alive than this? I've never seen a giva smaller than this, even if I'm not a survivor."

"Right. Isn't that a little difficult?"

To our interaction, Roy said again, "What are you talking about?" and his mouth is pounding.

"No, more travelers than just now are staying in Luu's settlement because they want to keep young Giva alive. So some of your people are in the woods with the hunters."

"To capture Giva alive? You're gonna grow up on a ranch like Caron?

"No, no, they're travelers, so they're trying to plant art in Gibba. Even if you can't do the art, a rare animal can be a spectacle."

"Holy shit, dude. Giva is all that good ingredient, so if you grow it with human hands and put it up for sale, can you make more copper coins than you do now?

To this word, Raina-Lou rebelled.

"We are hunting Gibba to live in the woods. Gibba is a dangerous beast that vandalizes the fields, so I don't think he can get used to humans."

"Hmm? But even Karon was originally a wild beast, right? I don't know if I'd vandalize the field, but it should have been a dangerous beast to poke and kill humans with horns.... or maybe there are still wild carons raging somewhere on the continent"

Rayna-Lew opens her eyes to surprise.

"You guys have been looking at Karon's ranch, haven't you? You didn't grow horns in Doug's caron, did you? That was a small individual in the corner, creating a caron like that. Still seems to grow horns every once in a while, but that's what I'm talking about when I'm a kid."

"So... you mean it's also possible to make a giva that is horny, toothless, and dear...?

"No, I guess it takes years or decades to change it that way. Sooner or later, when the number of givahs was running out, there was a way to increase it."

"The Morga forest is huge, so I don't think we can hunt down Giva or anything like that. And I think Gibba, who was raised by humans, is not Gibba anymore, but another beast."

I guess it's hard to tolerate the idea that Gibba is the same child of the woods, to the people by the woods, such as raising Gibba as a beast. Looking at Rayna-Lew's puzzled face, Roy put his head on me.

"Nothing, I just came up with something to talk about. I don't think it's gonna be that serious."

"I'm not serious."

Raina-Lou turns away again a lot.

After all, when Roy is the opponent, it seems that Raina-Lou is often disrupted in pace.

In the meantime, Siri-Low, who was watching Gibba get burned twinkly, gives a voice not to hang out with "Um".

"On this occasion, there seems to be nothing more to see. If you don't mind, why don't we take another look at another cook?

"Right. Shall I come to my house, then? Here, Rimi-Lou should be starting to prepare the sweets."

Sheila-Lou smiled and said so.

That's when a yellow scream echoed from the corner of the square.

Looking back at you, we get stunned. In doing so, Siri-Low was to be picked up by Roy the Scarlet, sparkling more flashy screams than the woodland ladies.

At the entrance of the settlement stands a shadow of alien shadows.

It was the three beasts that were supposed to be in the woods - the silver lion of Algra and the leopard of Garger, and the black monkey of Vamda.

The women of their families were to see them for the first time.

But that wasn't all that surprised them. A bloody man was in charge of the shoulders of the black monkeys, who looked terrible among the beasts.

Even those of us lurking around the center of the square knew at a glance that it was a hunter by the woods.

"It's all right! You have nothing to fear! Somebody, get ready for the allowance!

And another hunter, who appeared through the midst of the beasts, told him so loudly.

Lara-Luu, realizing it was Sin-Luu, runs over there silently.

"I'm just gonna go, too. Regards, Guests."

Leaving it to Raina-Lou and the others, I went after Lara-Lou, too.

In the meantime, other shadows step into the square. It was the figure of four of the Pinots, "A Seat of Gamrays," and Mida, who was as wounded as the black monkeys.

"Sin-Lu, it's okay!?

Leaving the momentum running, Lara-Luu jumped on Sin-Luu.

Sin-Lu looked a lot empty, but nods back "Oh".

"Two men in the branch sustained injuries to their hands. But in a few days you'll be able to get out into the woods again.... because they have saved our misery."

"I can help you at the end of the day. Best of all."

It was Pinot who answered that way.

The hunters in charge of Black Monkeys and Mida were groaning in agony, but the rest of the members seemed unharmed. Lolo was somewhat dirty and his hair loose, but he was laughing without force, and Zetta, hiding herself with a hooded cape, burning her golden eyes like a beast.

And Chantu's chest was held by a little little kid, Gibba.

I've never seen a giva this small. He was 30 centimeters long and small enough to wonder which, not born.

"After helping those people, on their way to the settlement, this giva came running down the river. Must have fallen off with her mother and into the river. I was able to get a baby giva without being forced to pull away from my parents. … this is what we wanted to give."

Chantu said so with a smile as he held that little, round giva in love.

That is why it was decided here to leave Genos for the last time, with the existence of the purpose in hand.
