397 Hunter's Pride ③ ~ Settlement ~

That's how we were on time, two and a half moments down the road, returning to Luu's settlement.

It was supposed to be a day off for a study group at the Lou family today, but I have already told the morning that I would like it to be changed tomorrow. So after putting down only Yamil-Ray, we tried to go for Fa's house early, but there the chick and Barsha walked over from the square stopped us.

"Oh, Asta. I'm in the Lew's luggage, too, and I'll let you chase after me."

"Yes. Is Barsha greeting Rem-Dom too?

"Yeah, because I've been in the woods with that girl for so long. Zida hasn't come back yet, so let me just say hi."

When Barsha said that, Rimi-Lou, who was still sitting on the table of lords of Lulu, said, "Fine!" He shouted out loud.

"Limi also wants to say hello to Rem-Dom! Donda, I'm going to ask your father, so just give me a minute."

"I don't mind that, but did Limi-Lu have an affair with Lem-Dom?

"Yeah, not really. But Lem-Dom liked Limi because he was well-dressed and gentle."

If it had been Rimi-Lou, originally connected to I-Fa, there would have been no resistance to Lem-Dom's behavior of being a bunch of women but also a hunter.

Nevertheless, it was the innocence and sharpness of Limi-Lew to say that Lem-Dom was gentle even though there was no AC.

"Well, wait a minute! Oh, Rayna, what about my sister?

"Right...... you know, Asta, are you going to give the neighbors a cooking guide as it is today?

"Yeah, though I don't mean to"

"Now I would like to give you a tour. I want to see what steps Asta has to follow to get unfamiliar with cooking."

So Raina-Lu and Limi-Luu entrusted Gilru's reins to Barsha and ran out to Luu's main house.

Morn-Rutim, who was dropping it off, comes up and says, "Um."

"My work hand is empty because I was also planning on giving you a hand job at the Lou's today.... So I'd like to head over to Fa's house with the Raina-Lou guys..."

"Of course, I don't mind this one at all,"

"Thank you," said Morn-Rutim, bowing his head, somehow more than anyone else.

Speaking of which, at a welcome feast the other day, she was concerned about what would happen and the fate of the Dom family. Then it also seemed natural not to feel like going straight home like this.

"Then may I accompany you, too?... What about Zwei?

"Hung. If that Dom family thug is crying, he might want to see it."

It was Yamir-Ray and Zwei who said so.

The only people who seem to be going straight back to their homes are the Ming and Mufa ladies who are helping the Lew family stall.

Raina-Lou and the others are not coming back, so I speak to Barsha.

"Lem-Dom has changed a lot since Barsha and the others started to give him a hand as a hunter, hasn't he? Still, after all, isn't it going to be an eye-fa?

"Um, I don't know. I'm talking about you being able to try 100 or 200 times, so it's not weird to win once or so... but they're ai-fa, so hey"

"Is Ai-Fa still a bad minute for the opponent"

"Yeah. I've never seen Ai-Fa do a power comparison. You beat Darum-Lou and Lau Ray and played each other with Dan Rutim, didn't you? It would be so tough for Lem-Dom, the same women, to beat such an eye-fa."

After all, none of the humans seemed to expect Lem-Dom to win.

Speaking of which, it seems Lem-Dom had no teeth at all, challenging the traveler Lolo to a power-to-power battle. Even Rau-Ray, who beat Lolo like that, could hardly beat Ai-Fa.

(If there is a desire, it is to stick with endurance and win... I = fa said I will not take the battle until I am fit. Then, is that line difficult too)

In comparison to the hunter's power, it is contraindicated that the target is injured. but Dalm-Lu and others were also beaten to the ground from the brain. The more losses overlap, the more damage will accumulate, and even stamina will be allowed to consume. Not to mention the impression that the fuel consumption seems pretty good, as the i-fa takes a tactic of warfare that uses the power of the opponent.

(Then the last thing that stays is the line that Ai-Fa accidentally loses the anomaly by causing Lem-Dom to get hurt... it's hard to even think that Ai-Fa would imitate such a detour, and that's going to end up saying something around George-Zaza)

The opening hours are just over three hours, but when we include travel and preparation times, more than five hours have already elapsed. Whatever it is, it will be right when it is already settled. All I had to do was run my luggage for about 20 minutes and I couldn't stop thinking about it.

"Thank you for waiting! Sorry I'm late!

Looking back at his energetic voice, three humans stood there.

He is Rimi-Lou and Raina-Lou, and his father by both names.

"Is that it? What is it, Donda-Lou?

"If the Zaza family heir is still sitting in Fa's house, I was just going to say a few words. This is an example of a martial arts club, and it wouldn't be nice if they made a scene against the nobles."

While stating it that way, I find myself squirming with blue eyes.

"What's so inconvenient about me going out? If there is, let me explain."

"No, not at all... I was just glad that it wasn't hard to invite Donda-Lou to Fa's house"

I told him that from the bottom of my heart, the elusive chief said, "Hmm!," he snorted in a grumpy manner.

Donda-Lou, by the way, is still in therapy, even though a month and a half have passed. Exactly, the triangular scarf was just off and bandaged on his right shoulder, but the wound that was bored by the fangs of the Lord of the Woods was so deep by then.

"Well, let's get going. I'll take the lead."

There is no inconvenience to travel in three luggage cars because it is an outfit joined by Barsha and Donda-Lou instead of two ladies. Me, Tour-Din, Yun-Sudra, Fay-Beim, the women of Dagola, the women of Gaz, Yamir-Ray, Zwei, Morn-Rutim, Limi-Ruu, Raina-Ru, Donda-Ru, Barsha, a total of thirteen.

We grabbed the reins of each Totos and hurried north down the road for Fa's house.

"I never thought even Donda-Lou would wish to accompany him. After all, as a chief, do you care about the fate of Lem-Dom"

Yun-Sudra, who was in the same van, calls from behind the carrier.

"Right. If a new female hunter were to be born, I guess that would be a story I can't overlook as a chief. Well, as a general rule, it seems to be a policy not to talk about extra houses."

"Really?... Oh, my chest is getting kind of noisy. I wonder in what way it was settled."

All remains the will of the forest, is.

Nevertheless, as Fa's house approached, I started beating faster and faster, too.

Gill is running down the road lightly.

After only twenty minutes northwards across several settlements, I eventually saw a large tree, a landmark of Fa's house.

Loosen the reins and get into the trail on a regular foot.

At the side of the house was the figure of Totos and the luggage car of the Zaza family.

but i don't see the i-fa's. Is it in the house, waiting for us to return?

I stopped my luggage in my usual fixed position, unloaded everyone and then freed Gilr.

So tie the reins to the branches of the tree, and then slap the doorboard of the house with the back of your hand.

"Ai-Fa, we're back. We have a lot of customers, so can you come outside?

I didn't hear back.

When the doorboard was opened while twisting his neck, the room was deserted.

"What are you doing?

And Donda-Lou, who got out of Lulu's luggage, comes closer to me.

"No, you don't have an eye-fa look, do you? At least the Rem-doms should still be here..."

"Naturally. They'll be behind the house. Can't you even sense these noisy signs?

"Noisy signs? But no way, I'm still comparing my powers..."

"If it wasn't a power comparison, you'd be arguing for another reason"

I didn't even want to imagine such a horrible story.

I'm a little disturbed, but I hurry to my back. Twelve of my guests followed me at the same pace.

I glanced into the back of the house, letting my chest follow me that way - an astonishing sight awaited me.

Ai-fa and Rem-dom still continued to compare their powers.

"Oh, you're back. Now I finally have someone to talk to."

George-Zaza, who was relaxing under a leathery roof, yawns around and says swallowingly. His eyes caught Donda-Lou, and he was narrowed down.

"What, you've got a lot of fine hunters. But the wound..."

"It's Donda-Lou, the head of the Lou main house. Are you George-Zaza, the trail of the Zaza family?

As Donda-Lou advanced out, Georg-Zaza rose loosely.

Its eyes sparkle so badly that it has an invincible grin on its stern face.

"This is... I never thought I'd see you in a place like this. I see. This guy is even more powerful than listening. He didn't have a better reputation than my father or Dick-Dom, either."

"You can throw out the hunter's job, too. You're in a good position. Well, not even my brother-in-law."

Donda-Lou looked around at Georg-Zaza's figure from top to bottom before eventually turning his gaze towards the Ai-Fa's.

Outside the roofed blue sky kitchen, Ai-Fa and Rem-Dom confront each other. The figure ran out of spectacular words.

Both, breathing on their shoulders. My whole body is sweaty and dirty all the way to Lem-Dom. In the last five hours, I guess I've been rolled to the ground more than I can count.

Both are in a forward position and look at the other with the hunter's eyes. It was as if two wounded carnivores were dying in a frantic and contested phase.

Dick-Dom and Sphilla-Zaza are watching that confrontation a little further away. Dick-Dom has a complete faceless look and Sphilla-Zaza has tear-eyed eyes. And in the hands of Sphilla-Zaza, the ornament of Giva's bones, which apparently had been entrusted to him by Lem-Dom, was gripped all the time.

Morn-Rutim was squeezing his hands worryingly when he realized what such a Dick-Dom looked like, but it was not an atmosphere where he could speak very loudly.

But I'll call George-Zaza, who's closest to me, too.

"Um, no way, you two have been comparing forces all morning?

"Oh," Georg-Zaza said, staring at Donda-Lou.

"I took a few breaks, and there was dried meat in Jomtien. This means that it is not even obvious, so we have been working together for a long time without even taking a break here. Damn, that's a bad thing about forebears."

Lem-Dom grabbed me by the eye-fa, seemingly not even getting those words.

From what I can tell, it seems to be a slow motion.

But also, Ai-Fa was operating just as slowly, intercepting Lem-Dom.

He twirls himself almost indelibly in the foot, and takes Lem-Dom's arm.

Rem-dom grabbed Ai-Fa's shoulder with the opposite arm.

If you keep pushing down Ai-Fa, it's a Lem-Dom victory.

But Ai-Fa took Lem-Dom's fingertips off and stepped out his right foot without force.

Stuck on its right leg, Rem-Dom falls in on his own.

Ai-fa brought to the tree that was by his side, and looked up to heaven and breathed.

"Asta... you're home..."

Those blue flame-bearing eyes look at me.

"As you can see... I'm still in the middle of a power comparison... whatever this is, you do your job..."

Even to utter so many words, Ai-Fa seemed desperate.

At its feet, Rem-Dom breathes equally rough.

"Or... so much for your strength, Lem-Dom...?

"... don't joke, Ai-Fa..."

Rem-dom put his hands on the ground and dazzled Ai-fa in a beastly position.

"Until sundown, did you give me time...? The sun is still so high...?

"... then you should just get up..."

Rem-dom woke himself up shaking his whole body puffy.

Ai-Fa also takes his back off the tree he was bringing.

"Don't let Asta and the others get in the way here... take a little distance now so that the sand and the like don't get in the way..."

"Ugh... how dare you turn your head so much in such a situation... it doesn't matter to you at all..."

The two try to strain their legs and move away from the space in the kitchen.

That's it, I'm about to get my chest clogged.

"It must have been a mess, right? It's been like this for a while. If this is the case, I should have done my job before I came out."

George-Zaza discards again, twisting his mouth.

"If you can be a hunter just because of your obsession, you have no care. Totally ridiculous."

Donda-Lou looked at you silently before turning to me.

"Didn't you hear the parents? You do your job."

"No, but..."

"We won't even be able to settle for a while yet. Are you going to kill time until then? Then go back to your homes."

The second half of the words were directed at Rimi-Lou and the others who stood in my place.

Rimi-Lou flickers back at his father's face, not at all alike, with his hands on his quiet hips.

"No, Donda, Dad says mean things right away! The Limi will never go home!

"... then do our job"

"Okay, come on! Hey, Asta, how you doing? I'll help you, too, Limi!

"Ugh, yeah...... but are you sure you're okay?

"It's okay. If I leave it to Ey-Fa, she won't have to worry."

Saying so, Rimi-Lou smiled innocently.

This toughness makes me lose my mind, too.

"Right. Let's not let my parents scold me, either.... Raina-Lou, if you like, could you help me make curry vegetables and pasta? I wasn't speaking to the other women because I was supposed to have a study group at the Lou's today."

"Yes, let me help you"

Raina-Lou, who was a lot of soul-flying, looks back like a hack.

"Thank you. Of course I'll pay the price. Both Yamil-Ray and Zwei, if you like.... then can Tour-Din ask for a partitioner over there? There may be a slight difference between the Lew family and me in the amount of ingredients."

"Yes, sir, I understand."

I've decided to manpower eleven people, including Barsha, to do their job in total.

In the meantime, Ai-Fa and Rem-Dom continue to compare their powers. Tour-Din had a lot of worrying faces, but still never left his job behind.

Once the spices that have been cooked dry within yesterday are caught on fire, there is a seductive aroma around that stimulates the appetite center. This was also going to sharpen the focus of the Ai-Fas again, but this one couldn't loosen his hands either.

At the same time, rinse the vanilla for the next time, blend in the prescribed amount and fry dry. Those tasks are left to the squad with Thur-din as the squad leader, and I'm cutting meat and sorting ingredients. This one took a hand from Morn-Rutim and Barsha and decided to ask Limi-Luu and Yamil-Ray to take charge of making pasta under the guidance of Yun-Sudra.

Rayna-Luu goes beyond saying that, with such manoeuvres as Limi-Luu and Morn-Lutim in place, the work is rather proceeding better than usual. And so when the clock gave the fourth and a half of the hour, the end of the day was also visible for commerce.

It was only then that Sphilla-Zaza shouted "ahhh" loudly.

Looking back in haste, Lem-Dom is falling in big letters. Was it rolled out even with some flashy throwing moves, and Ai-Fa was also waving her back wide with her hands on both of her knees.

"Enough is enough! Doing any more won't change the outcome, will it? Please end this, Rem-Dom!

Sphyla-Zaza screams with half a cry.

But Lem-Dom rose with an indomitable fighting spirit.

Her hair, which was tightly tied up, also became half untied, and her wavy dark hair dripped over her face. So unnecessarily, Lem-Dom looked like an impatient shape.

Do you no longer have the energy to answer the words of Sphyla-Zaza, and Lem-Dom turns to Ai-Fa as he breathes repeatedly and faintly?

Ey-Fa also woke up sorry to his upper body, paying off the golden brown forehead that was caught on his face again.

"... next battle, that's the limit"

Boosh and Donda-Lou snapped.

At the same time, Lem-Dom kicked the ground.

He was beastly handsome, wondering if he still retained so much power.

A tortuous fingertip, like that hook claw, grabs both shoulders of Ey-Fa directly from the front.

It was a deadly onslaught that could hardly be seen in the current Ai-Fa.

Ai-Fa's body is pushed to momentum and falls in like a stick.

But at the end of the day, Ai-Fa stood still.

Open your legs wide back and forth and grab Rem-Dom's right wrist with both hands.

As Ai-Fa twisted his body, Lem-Dom's fingertips, which were perched on both shoulders, were ripped apart.

Ey-Fa's upper body turns sideways and pulls Rem-dom's right arm together.

Lem-Dom's hips clash against Ai-Fa's hips.

So when Ai-Fa sank his hips, Lem-Dom's feet floated off the ground.

It is a deformed, single-bearing posture.

Lem-Dom's body spinned nicely in the air and was slapped from his back to the ground.

With that momentum, I = fa rolls with me, and I still fall in from my back.

For a while, neither of them moved while falling to the ground.

Only under my chest, however, is going up and down with tremendous momentum.

"Rem-dom!" Screaming, Sphilla-Zaza rushed over to you.

"What...? The battle isn't over yet...?

Lem-Dom shook his voice like an eagle.

But after all, you can't get up.

In the meantime, Ai-Fa cursorily woke himself up.

My hair clasp is completely loose and my golden brown hair is dripping down to my back.

"It's Lem-Dom... that's it for the power comparison..."

"What are you talking about...? I'm not done yet...?

With the hands of Sufila-Zaza in place, Lem-Dom was in a very depressed position.

That's how I try to get up with my hands on the ground and cramp my whole body.

"Even so, that's it... you've broken the ban..."

Saying in a blurred voice, Ai-Fa lifted her long hair.

To the clap, the puffiness and red squirt fall.

On Ai-Fa's left shoulder, Lem-Dom's claw marks were engraved.

It is so deeply wounded that it leads to blood. From there, the blood flowed down to the elbow.

"With so many hand injuries, I can no longer give full strength either... I still have time, but because you broke the ban, I can no longer continue to fight..."

"But...!

"And you're faster than I am and you've lost the room to discipline your powers... if you go on any further, the results won't be the same... so this should be the end of it, Lem-Dom..."

Rem-dom nodded disappointingly.

Squeeze your forehead on the ground and tremble your successful back.

Eventually, I heard a small voice.

Rem-dom is giving me a whimper.

Sphilla-Zaza took it to his back, but his voice never stopped.

He pulls my torso, which stands still, and Rimi-Lou says it's hard.

"Asta, this one's fine, so why don't you give him an ai-fa allowance?

"Ugh, yeah, thanks"

I rushed home and pulled the pills and bandages out of the storage.

I bought it in town, it's expensive wound medicine. And then I moved the water from the water bottle into the wooden barrel, holding it with the pattern, and I rushed to Ai-Fa.

Around the Ai-Fa, Dick-Dom and Georg-Zaza, as well as Donda-Lou, are gathered.

Rem-dom is still sobbing like a child while he's stuck on the ground, and Ai-fa is nagging at him.

"Ey-fa, let me make allowance. It's tough when there's bad wind in there."

"Hmmm... you know a lot, it's Asta..."

"What I was aware of was Rimi-Lou. I'll wash the wound first. You'll get smudged, but be patient."

Moisten the new hand wipe with water from the wooden barrel and then softly softly soak the wounds on your left shoulder.

It is a vivid five wound mark, as if even the beast had scratched it.

On the opposite shoulder, traces of blue mole are left in the same shape. It was for a moment that I was grabbing Ai-Fa's shoulder, but it's a shuddering grip.

I applied a yellow and white ointment-like medicine to Ai-Fa's right shoulder, put on a soft cloth instead of gauze, and then wrapped it around the bandage.

But the blood creeps over the bandages all the way to Sugu. The doctor stop was also inevitable, it was a deep laceration.

That's how I drank water with a patterned jaw while I was making allowance, and Ey-Fa, sweating with a cloth, was finally starting to calm down his breathing as he was feeling more comfortable.

Lem-Dom at the end is sobbing all the time at the same pace.

"It took a long time, but it was a fair fight."

George-Zaza crushed it that way, stirring up just as he seemed to feel sorry for him.

"You've exhausted your dying power to the end, whether you're satisfied or not? Stop crying, Lem-Dom. You don't like being my wife that much?

Lem-Dom shakes his head plumply and then brings a whimper like he could bare again.

After staring down at the figure for a while, Ai-Fa turned back to Dick-Dom.

"Dick-Dom, I have one suggestion for you."

"... what the fuck, it's Fa's parent, Ai-Fa"

"Wouldn't it be hard to get this Lem-Dom recognized as an apprentice hunter?

Dick-Dom narrowed his eyes to the urchin, and Zaza's sister and brother burned their eyes in the same way. And my brother opens his mouth before Dick-Dom does.

"What are you missing, you fa woman hunter? Whether you win or not?

"Mm-hmm. I won. But if Rem-Dom hadn't lost his restraint there, he probably wouldn't have settled until the sun went down."

"But you won. I can't get that fact together."

"I know. But how many men with so much power are among the hunters?

With the claws on the ground, Ai-Fa quietly looked up at George-Zaza's face.

"I don't think so many people exist who keep fighting me for so long and still don't give up their battles. Lem-Dom was also certainly equipped with the strength of his mind to discipline himself, both in physical force and in the way of killing signs that would not enlighten him of his movements. … so it seems to me that Lem-Dom has the power to be a hunter."

"Hmm. I mean, you were willing to say those words from the beginning, regardless of the outcome of the battle. This guy is totally funny."

"That's not true. Until I actually put my hands together, Lem-Dom's powers weren't strong enough for me either. It seems that way because we've spent so much time together."

Eye-Fa's eyes were only mild.

"Also, I'm not doing any favors. I had taken care not to injure my hand, but if I were a cohort hunter, I would have been unable to move in the first ten times or so. But Lem-Dom endured such suffering, and let him show his strength."

"Can you believe that words like that are easy! I'm sure you just want to drag Lem-Dom down the same path as yourself!

"My word is, can't you put your credibility down"

Ai-Fa breathed and lifted her long forehead with her right hand.

"Then why don't you take that and see for yourself? If you compare the sun with me again, you will know the truth. If you can stand after ten power comparisons, it means you were right."

"That means... you're confident you're going to beat me ten times in a row, woman hunter at Fa's house?

On George-Zaza's eyes, a black flame erupted.

Ai-Fa frowns at the shavings.

"You don't seem to be good at using your opponent's powers, Zaza's youngest brother. Then you didn't know what Lem-Dom was capable of."

Georg-Zaza tried to put his arm up silently to Ai-Fa.

It was Dick-Dom who grabbed it from the side.

"Fa's parents, Ai-Fa, you're only supposed to admit Lem-Dom as a hunter, right?

"No, he only wants me to work as an apprentice and figure out if I really qualify as a hunter. It's hard to apply all the power just by comparing the forces, so I don't think I can see the right path until I actually go out into the woods."

Ai-Fa put her hand on my shoulder and stood up at ease.

That's how I stare at Dick-Dom's face, which is at a height for not a single head.

"At least Lem-Dom has a stronger power now than when I was thirteen when I first went into the woods. It is assumed that it takes roughly two years for an apprentice hunter to serve, so in those two years, I want you to lay down the path of Rem-dom."

…………

"Is Lem-Dom still fifteen? Two years later, he's only seventeen. Even if that closes the path to living as a hunter, enough time is left to live as a lady. Lem-Dom strongly hopes to live as a hunter by so much, so I'd like you to at least give him that much respite"

"... but if you decay into the woods during those two years, you will no longer be able to leave your own blood"

"I know. So it's up to you, Dick-Dom, the head of the family."

With that said, Ai-Fa let down his mouth.

It was very unusual for Ai-Fa to smile in front of such a large number of human beings.

"As a prospective hunter to you, I just told you how I felt. And then I want you to think about what path you should take with your family, so that you have no remorse. … I am very proud that such a great role has been left to such a fine hunter as you"

That's how I-Fa turned his back on Dick-Dom.

I panicked and put my hand on my back because my body leaned.

"Wait, Ai-Fa..."

Rem-dom raised his wet face in tears.

The face was like a little toddler.

"Thank you very much to this day... I truly appreciate that you have taken care of such a good person as myself..."

"... walk the right path with your brother and family"

After throwing a soft grin at Rem-Dom, Ai-Fa started walking fluffy.

Really, Rimi-Lou and Morn-Rutim, who were waiting for me, rush over.

"Ai-Fa, you're annoying!

"Thank you, Ai-Fa"

Morn-Rutim bowed his head deeply before staying closer to the Dick-Dom's.

Ai-Fa puts her hands on Limi-Luu's reddish hair as she walks halfway across my body as well.

"In the house, I want to clean my body. If you're free for work, help me, Rimi-Lou."

"Yeah, fine! Because it's just a paragraph away!

Rimi-Lou grinned and clung to Ai-Fa's right arm.

As I salute everyone in the kitchen and turn to the side of the house, Ai-Fa looks at me all the time.

"What, you said something, right, it's Asta?

"Yeah.... that was so cool, Ai-Fa"

Ey-fa's eyes narrowed with some eyelids, while he stuck his head on my cheek.

"Can't you spare the parents in a few more words, at all?"

"I'm sorry you're an uninspiring family member, Parent"

I gently laid my hand on the head of Ai-Fa at an angle unnoticed by Rimi-Lou.

That's how the Lem-Dom uproar, which lasted three months, made up for closing the curtain here for a moment.
