403 Little Family Harvest Festival (2) - Power Comparison - First Half Battle

There were 84 human beings in the settlement of Fou.

The women and young people harden as much as possible to the edge of the square, with the men standing in the center. The combined size and number of people in the square makes it feel much more densely populated than when more than a hundred blood families gathered in the settlement of Luu.

"Safely celebrating the day today will be something that should be lived up to for everyone. It is an unprecedented attempt to share the joy of the harvest with the human beings of a family without the edge of blood, but we are brothers by the forest, the same son of the forest. With this as an opportunity, I strongly hope that the ties between Fa, Din, Lid, Sudra, Fou and Run will deepen, as the parents of Fou."

Fou's head of household, Burdu-Fou, said his greetings as such.

While nearly 180 cm tall, he is a skinny, bone-headed, magnificent hunter. Character is deposited, thick in faith, and seems the most suitable person to partition such a place.

"And today, we are inviting guests from the chieftaincy muscles and Baym's house to see through this monumental day. Guests are only guests and will not be allowed to participate in power comparisons or supper schedules, but as compatriots of the same woodland, I still want them to see what we do."

Five people, who were in formation a little further away, bowed their heads silently.

The rest of the men were supposed to rush after doing the hunter's job, so only Dali-Souti is the man. The four remaining ladies were Rayna-Luu, Sufila-Zaza, Fay-Baim, and the Sauti ladies.

"Now, as time moves, I want to move on to the power comparison ritual. Compared to the first force, it's a bow hit."

Together with the words of Birdu-Faw, they proceeded to the back of the settlement with each other. The target of the bow takes place at the edge of the forest facing the settlement.

The total number of hunters participating in it is 33.

The hunters stood sloppily along the edge of the woods, watched by 35 Kamadu numbers, 16 young people, and five guests.

There, the boys, who seemed close to the age of thirteen among the young people, advanced before the hunters with many bows and arrows.

"I'm sorry, but I'd like to make a suggestion"

And there was someone there to raise his voice.

Whoever it is, it is Ai-Fa.

"I'm very sorry, but before I start comparing forces, I just want to practice my bow a little bit"

"Bow practice?," some hunters looked a lot ridiculous.

"Mm-hmm. I haven't dealt with bows since I lost my father. I didn't think I needed a bow to hunt alone.... and yet the bow of the house was also lost with my father, so I couldn't get a chance to touch it until today"

"Hmm... but it was years ago that Fa's parents lost their father?

"I lost my father about two and a half years ago."

"I haven't touched my bow in two and a half years, but after all the practice, it doesn't seem to make sense."

"Mm-hmm. I wish I could shoot a couple of them. If we can regain the feeling of pulling a bow, that's enough."

Birdu-Fow nodded small and sent instructions with his eyes to one of the boys.

Ai-fa softly leads the arrow to the bow as he salutes himself as "unwieldy".

It is a beautiful form, unlike the first time in two and a half years.

But the arrow, unleashed on the edge of the forest, disappeared beyond the bush without hitting anywhere.

Ai-Fa did not move and connected the second arrow.

Now the arrow poked in the middle of a large tree trunk.

Without putting her hair down, Ai-Fa releases a third arrow.

The arrow poked directly next to the second arrow.

"I'm sorry I let you take the time. That's enough."

Ai-Fa returned the bow and arrow barrel to the boy and another boy rushed to the edge of the woods to retrieve the three arrows.

"Let's begin the power comparison. It's the wooden planks that are lowered there that are targeted."

Looking in the direction indicated by Birdu-Fow, a small plank of wood did hang from a branch of a tree.

A small plate of ten centimetres square with a black dot in the middle. It's about 30 centimetres long, and it's lowered down to the branches.

There are three things that are lowered to a single branch, and that's four sets prepared for two meters.

"It's a waste of time, so I was prepared to do it at the same time for every four of us. When I give the signal, I shake the target, so I release three arrows within the count of ten. So the winner will be the number of people who have shot through the center mark. If both the number of markings shot through and the number hit are the same, it will be another match."

Thus, the standing position was set about ten meters away from the target.

From a distance of 10 meters, aim to move and release three arrows. When it was put to a time limit of ten seconds, it seemed quite challenging.

"At first it would be better to play against each other as little as possible that is not a blood clan. Let's start with the big Din, Lid, Fou and Run one at a time."

Finally, it is the beginning of a power comparison.

Without a heart, the women around me were starting to blur.

Of course, it's a blur with a sense of expectation at its core. Your daughter, etc. where the man of your heart exists, will be honking her sawdust chest.

Four hunters carry an arrow barrel, hold a bow and stand in front of the competition line.

Then two boys with long sticks of grigi waited in the middle of four trees.

"That young man shakes the target with a stick. After the youths have moved to a safe place, I will give you a signal, and then you will release the first arrow.... you guys ready?

From the foot of Birdu-Fow, he said, "Yes!" A cheerful voice is raised.

When did the little ones gather there? It was all children under the age of ten, wrapped in a one-shoulder outfit, a toddler's testimony.

"All right, shake the target."

The boys split left and right and began to run outwards shaking their targets with a grigi stick.

Just five meters away when those boys played their last target, Bird-Fow said, "Here we go!" I raise my voice.

Four hunters put their hands on an arrow barrel.

At the same time, the toddlers said, "Yichi! To!" and began to count the numbers.

These young children were timekeepers.

The look of counting the numbers out loud with a smile and laughter was indescribably loving.

But the hunters are more serious themselves.

Three shots in less than ten seconds means you're only given three seconds to release one arrow. It seemed like an extremely tight time limit to pull the arrow out of the arrow barrel, lead to the bow, aim and fire.

Besides, it's moving.

I just paid appropriately with the stick, so if the timing is not right, the board can also turn straight to the side. This would be a business that is not difficult with Naomi's technology, such as targeting the middle of the target.

The unleashed arrows tear the air apart.

Several arrows hit the target and several disappeared into the back bush.

"Kew! Ju!"

The chorus of the toddlers stopped.

Twelve arrows were all ejected.

Boys and girls over the age of ten head for targeted confirmation and retrieval of arrows.

"This one, one is in the middle!

"This one, it's not central!

"Here's one!

Apparently, it's more important than just the number that hit the plank of the tree if you shot through the mark in the middle.

The target number appears to be the material of the determination only if the number of markings ejected is the same.

Under those rules, it was the men of Fou who won.

Maybe a little more favorable than Din or Lid's hunters, as they seemed to make this power comparison every time in Fou and Run.

"Wow. I can't even make you blush.... or I've never dealt with the bow itself."

When I snuck up on those thoughts, Tul-din, who was next door, smiled at me.

"It's Asta's turn, so that's natural. I've never touched a bow."

"Yeah, well, I guess that's true,"

But I'm the only man in the line of sight. If you are a boy, young people or young children, you are helping with chores comparable to power, so there is a brilliant line of women all around me.

(Well, is that the same thing with Ai-Fa? It reminds me how heterogeneous the female hunter and the male kamadoku are by the woods.)

But it also doesn't even begin to bitter about such things now.

As far as I'm concerned, as a family, I just wish Ai-Fa good luck.

In this way, the comparison of the power of the target was gradually advanced.

In doing so, the Sudra family facades performed very well.

Thim-Sudra and others, in particular, targeted three arrows and centered two of them on small marks.

The Sudra family is also a family member who used to compare their powers.

Yet many small hunters were also seen to perform excellently.

Speaking of which, both Rud-Lew and Zida are smaller than average, and both are excellent bow users.

An aspect may also exist that small humans have many opportunities to be entrusted with bow work.

In the meantime, it was finally the emergence of the Ai-Fa.

Your opponents are Fou, Din and Lid's men.

To his dismay, Ai-Fa had all three arrows against a wooden plate.

Moreover, one of them had shot through to the mark in the middle.

One of the other men had been able to shoot through the mark, but none of the three had targeted him, so Ai-Fa was to take the judgment victory.

Some of the hunters spoke like they were impressed, and some of the women spoke like they hadn't.

Speaking of which, Ai-Fa has gained quite a popularity among the women as well. When Gill first came to our house, when he revealed his refreshments and how he was going to get on with it, etc., it was something he was yellow cheering for.

"That's amazing. I hadn't touched my bow in over two years, and I-Fa won it out"

Yun-Sudra described it that way with a now-excited face.

"Yeah, but Sudra's men are all winning out, too. Especially since Chim-Sudra was amazing earlier."

"Yes. Even compared to Sudra's power, Chim was chosen as the brave man of the target every time. I don't think I've ever lost in the last two years."

But Chim-Sudra should have been fifteen, so since he was thirteen, when he began to compete against power as an apprentice hunter, he has never lost as one? No matter how the Sudra family with only four hunters existed, it was thought that would be a proud achievement.

(If you ask around Rudd-Lou, you might want to try a battle. That sounds kind of fun)

While I was thinking about that, the first round was over.

The total number of hunters is 33, so seven games in each of the four, and at the end of the day three and two, the battle took place, with nine going to the semifinals.

The breakdown was that there were four sudras, two runs, and one fa, fou and din.

Among them, only Ai-Fa and Lyelpham-Sudra are in the seat of the head of the household.

Birdu-Fow and others are quite piercing, and Lid's parents had a reputation for being hunters of war, but they weren't so good at bows. The humans who won the semifinals still all felt small.

"There are nine of us left, so let's do it with three of us next time"

The first three were the men of Ai-Fa, Sudra and Run.

This was quite the heat battle, with all three targeted arrows.

Besides, they all had one on their mark in the middle, so a rematch was supposed to take place.

In the next game, the Sudra men took one off and were to be defeated.

The men of Ai-Fa and Lan once again targeted three and marked one.

So this is the third game by two.

The two unleashed six arrows were still shooting through the wooden planks again.

"This one, one is in the middle!

"This one, two are in the middle!

Oops, and a light twist.

It was the men of the run who won.

Somehow, it might have been an air of ai-fa winning. The other man was a middle-bodied, somewhat soft-faced young man.

"My loss? You were an excellent bow user."

That's how I-Fa was calling for it.

Run's men are smiling with a very gracious look.

"I don't like handling knives, so I brushed my bow arms. But I'm proud to have beaten a hunter as good as I-Fa"

"I haven't touched a bow in over two years. If you want to be proud of your arm, let them win the next fight."

Ai-Fa turned to the puddle and came back to the hedge.

Somehow I was wondering how it was, so I decided to give it a try.

"Good day, Ai-Fa. Was that Run family man you knew?

Then, for whatever reason, Ey-Fa came at my face with a blind eye.

"... I've been out of touch with Fou and Run for over two years, but before that I usually had AC. This close to home, so it's not weird to have one or two familiars?

"No, well, I guess so. I thought it was unusual for Ey-Fa to speak up to other men."

"Hmm!" Ai-Fa snorted and walked away as she did.

I don't know why. Sarris Lang-Fow calls me from behind.

"Asta, I'm familiar with Masa Fou-Ran, and I'm familiar with him."

"Oh, did you? You were a Fou man who was son-in-law to the Lan family."

Then it is in the opposite position to Sarris Lang-Fou, who dowry from the Lang family to the Fou family.

Sarris Run-Fou smiled as she narrowed her eyes to miss something.

"I think I've spoken a little before...... once I had an appointment to marry Masa Fou-Run. But he became the daughter-in-law of his brother because of his suspicions for Ai-Fa."

In front of me losing my word, Sarris Lang-Fou is still smiling.

"So Masa Fou-Run took the blame for breaking the covenant and became son-in-law to another lady in the Run family. That's more than two years old too... so I'm sure Ai-Fa and Masa Fou-Run haven't exchanged words in over two years either"

Fearing the eyes of the Sung family, the Fou and Lan families were to be cut off from Fa's house. But before that, Sarris Lang-Fou had become alienated from Ai-Fa. His presence was the cause of it.

"It would also... certainly not have made me feel like talking to him had I been in the position of Ai-Fa"

As far as I can tell, it is this Sarris Run-Fou who seems to have been the closest of neighbors to Ai-Fa. It would have been a story I wouldn't have stayed if I had tried to be an eye-fa because the person she was planning to dowry like that had a crush on Ai-Fa.

"But now I am happy. The youngest brother of Fou, who became my partner, was very kind to me, and he was able to give me an important presence: Aim. So I was able to reconnect with Ai-Fa, so I can't even hope for any more happiness."

"... Really?"

All of that happened before I visited the woods.

So if I'm no longer obsessed with Ai-Fa and Saris Lang-Fou, I guess I'll just have to turn my anger on someone named Masa Fou-Run.

(I can't stop feeling that I'm going to like people. He didn't quite achieve his feelings for Ai-Fa.)

The glittering emotions that arose in his chest decided to slip into the organizing box and keep the lid on.

In the meantime, the second round of the semifinals was over, and Chim-Sudra, who brought down the men of Sudra and Fou, had decided to make it to the finals.

The final semifinals are Lyelpham-Sudra and the men of Run and Din.

Next to me, Tul-din had a prayerful look.

"You had one left from the Din family, didn't you? I think Sudra's parents are strong enemies, but I hope they can work hard."

"Yes.... Actually, that man is my father"

"Oh, yeah? Then we have to support you even more."

Tour-Din's father, whom he sees clearly for the first time, was a slender man around thirty. He's not that long, but he looks as tough and deposited as Lyada-Lu.

After all, Lyelfam-Sudra has a unique appearance reminiscent of a small monkey, less than 150 cm tall and as thin as ever in his hands and feet. Now he was a hunter of sharp eye skill.

Yet the third run of the men was also an eye-catching appearance, no matter what.

He still looks a lot younger. If you do poorly, maybe you're younger than me.

But there he is long, with a tight body and long brown hair. His eyes were cool and he seemed quite manly.

(I wonder what. You have a grand vibe like a hunter in the Lew family. Weirdly confident... somehow, it doesn't seem to be the only one)

I'm not equipped with the power of a hunter.

but the hunch was unusual at this time. It was in that game that he defeated Lyelpham-Sudra and Tour-Din's father.

Some of the women could hear the gorgeous voice.

"He sounds popular, doesn't he? Is that the eldest brother or something in Lan's main house?

When I asked Sarris Run-Fou, he returned a voice saying "no".

"That's Joo-Run, the eldest brother of Run's branch. For me, he is my mother's brother's son."

Then it means cousin to Sarris Lang-Fou.

Sallis Run-Fou was leaning his neck a little strangely.

"Ever since I married Fow's house, I haven't had much intimacy... but you seem to have gained a lot of strength as a hunter. I don't think the previous harvest festival had any results compared to the power of the target."

"I see. How old are you?

"But I think it just turned 16"

Then I guess that means we're still in the process of growing. What would you do if you didn't have three days with a man?

(If you're sixteen, do you mean you're the same age as Sin-Luu or Georg-Zaza? You're related to that generation these days)

Either way, it was finally the final match compared to the power of the target.

The contestants are three: Chim-Sudra, Masa Fou-Ran and Jou-Ran.

The first game was another draw for all three.

In the next game, Masa Fou-Run, who took one off target, was to be defeated.

In the third game, they were both untargeted, and yet both were shooting through two marks in the middle.

In a further fourth game, it turned out tremendously, shooting through three marks for both.

Not only the women, but the men start cheering.

Making all bullets centered on the mark under these conditions is still not a viable thing.

In the fifth game, they shot through two marks together, and the third arrow is not off the board either.

Thus, for the sixth time - throughout all the games, for the first time Joo-Run was to be out of focus.

Two Joo-Run and three Chim-Sudra are targeted.

The young people looked back at the results with excitement.

"Joo-Run's arrows are both shooting through the mark!

"Two Chim-Sudra arrows are also shooting through the mark!

Only marginally, it is a triumph for Chim-Sudra.

One hundred and sixty centimetres tall, which small young hunter looked up to heaven as he wetted the sweat on his forehead.

Joo-Run approaches you with a smile like a spring breeze.

"You were brilliant. I'm sorry, but I lost."

"No, because the battle will be divided in a targeted way. I don't think it was weird which one won"

"Then this is the outcome of the forest."

Everyone was celebrating the heated battle of the young hunters with cheer and applause.

When that finally fits in, Birdu-Fow moves forward.

"The target brave was determined by the Sudra family Chim-Sudra. Next, I'd like to move on to comparing the power of carrying cargo."

Carrying loads seemed to be a competition in which the skill of the arms was quite something.

We use a device called a "pull plate" that we use to carry water bottles and stuff.

A pull plate is a large, sturdy plate with protective fur beneath the plate.

It is about a metre square in size and several boards are tied together in Fibach's cranberry. Plus, it's spreading grass, so you pull it and carry your baggage.

The luggage was for the young children by the woods.

It seems to be the rule of how quickly two or three toddlers ride through a distance of about 50 meters per pull plate.

This was also to be played by four people at the same time.

"It shouldn't be unfair to choose any one, as toddlers vary in size but weigh about the same"

Of course, there is no such thing as scales around the woods, but instruments like seesaw were pierced and sorted so that they weighed evenly.

Some of them combine that a big boy about twelve has a toddler about five years old.

In pull boards with three toddlers of seven or eight years of age, and so on, it was another loving thing that the first child grabbed the root of the handles' spreading grass, and the other two cling to their hips.

(But even a little kid like that looks like it could be about 25 kilos. That's three people, 75 kilometers? So you walk 50 meters or something, it's pretty tough)

but it is the hunters by the woods who participate.

When the various games took place, they were to run through the square at an unusual speed.

Tell you what, it's like running in charge of a big adult man, but it's about as fast as my all-powerful disease. After all, a hunter is extraordinary because of his muscle strength.

(Well then, it's tough to beat EY-FA too)

Ai-Fa is a hunter enough to be chosen as eight brave men in the Lou family. but it was only a comparison of the power of the fight, and it was undeniable that it would be disadvantageous in the battle of muscle strength itself.

Still, I guess it was a mixture of guts and good fortune that Ai-Fa barely won the first round.

Opponents also had many small people named Chim-Sudra and the young men of the Fou family, and Ai-Fa was able to win by a nasal difference.

After all, however, it was only the hunters with good stature who could win through to the semifinals.

There is not much of a hunter in the smaller family with a distinguished and superior physique. Most of them are tall or thin, or low in width or width. It was thought to be a testament to the fact that they had lived through several generations under harsh food conditions.

Within those boundaries, relatively well-fitted humans were victorious in comparison to this power.

A bow strike is the opposite result.

It was Berdu-Fow, Lid's parents and Din's parents who made it to the finals.

Lid's parents in particular seemed to be around 180 cm tall and likely to weigh about 100 kg, and were themselves good at running unsuitable for a large body. It is an odd reminder of Dan-Rutim, who boasted unusual good-looking feet in his heartbeat.

"Lid's parents seemed to be at a glance since the Sung family was a chiefdom. That's how he was allowed to be a strong family member of the Sung family."

is the valve of Tour-Din.

There was no madness here, and Lid's parents were to take the title of brave man. Birdu-Fow is, at best, second place.

"Hey, every battle looks good. Honestly, I'm more comfortable with this kind of power than I am with fighting."

"Yes, I feel the same way"

Tour-Din was smiling with joy.

By the way, her father had been defeated by Lid's parents in the semifinals.

But compared to the power of the hunter, winning is not a disgrace to lose, even if it makes you proud. It also seemed to be a perfectly correct idea, because they are showing us the power that everyone has to ask, whether it be targeted or loaded.

"Ai-Fa's had a bad fight going on to keep him standing. Good luck with the second half."

So I cheered safely for the ai-fa that took me down the street, too, but I was blinded again.

So, they invite me a little at my fingertips, and they even take me out of the pedestrian walls.

"... you look a lot more fun, Asta."

"Huh? Well, I'm enjoying it purely."

Then Ai-Fa became such an angry face that she whispered and complained.

"Enjoying the feast is a cool thing, but you don't feel any remorse when you say I keep losing like this?

"Yeah? 'Cause I got a bad fight going on, and you just don't have to regret it that much -"

That's what I remembered. Even when Ai-Fa lost only marginally to Dan-Rutim in comparison to the power of the Lou family, he was looking impotently regrettable.

"Right. Isn't Ai-Fa surprisingly loathsome to lose? I'm so greedy to regret even bad luck and hauling."

"Is it something you can expect to grow without feeling remorse? Even you, if you lose a culinary battle, will you regret it?

"Um, I know you know Ey-Fa, but if I was a bad sweet fight or something, I wouldn't feel sorry for losing."

Because falsehood is a sin, I let you answer honestly.

As a result, I was impressed with Ai-Fa. If I didn't have eyes, I could have been stuck around with my head.

"... you were messed up like that at the Martial Arts Club in Genos, but you have a much different attitude"

"Yeah? What happened to Genos' fight?

"Things about Sin-Lu were voice-over and supportive, but he says it's odd not to do so against me"

Blushing and whispering in a whisper, Ai-Fa's lips are so tucked away that there is no more.

Even for me, it was such a lovely trick that I could accidentally lose my head if I didn't have eyes.

"I'm sorry. But that was a fight game, so I messed it up. Give me a break because I have so much support in my heart."

…………

"I-Fa may not have noticed, but I think I accidentally raised my voice when it came to comparing power with Dan-Rutim, too, huh?

Then the eye-fa frowned tightly.

And he finally loses his restraint, and only one shot sticks his head up his cheek.

"... you think I'm gonna miss your voice, you lying bastard"

That's how Ai-Fa let herself go and walked away without even looking at it later.

I head back to the Tour-dins.

Then there, too, were unexpected people waiting.

Instead of Sarris Run-Fou, a young hunter named Joo-Run stood up.

"This is the first time we've seen each other properly, isn't it? I'm Joo-Run from Run's house, Asta from Fa's house."

"Oh, thank you. That was a brilliant guess."

"Thank you.... but you don't have to use such polite language for a young man like me. Speak freely."

Joo-Run smiled, grinning.

Is he about five centimeters taller than me? I get a very soft look because I have a lot of drooling eyes.

"Looks like Ey-Fa was poking you, but did something happen to you?

"Oh, no, it's nothing... it's the usual thing, so don't worry about it"

The first time I used polite language, it became a habit, so I consciously tried to change my tone.

Anyway, as much as it was embarrassing to have seen so much of an act earlier.

"Then I'm glad. No, Fa's house is irreplaceable to us, so it would be very sad if it happened."

As it seemed, he was a very per-person soft boy.

Besides, it may be the first time that a man is so polite in his manhood, except for Gazran-Rutim.

"Then I'll go back. I look forward to the delicious dishes Asta and the others make."

That's how Joo-Run also went back to Birdu-Fow. We were just about to start moving in preparation for the third competition.

"You're some kind of strange atmospheric man. Was Sarris Lang-Fou talking?

"Yes, he came to say hello because it was also crackling to show his face"

Saying so, Sarris Lang-Fou had a slightly more complicated look on her face.

"But I didn't know very clearly...... Joo-Run seemed to be much more aware of I-Fa"

"About I-Fa? What does that mean?

"Yeah, I don't know what to say...... for now, I wouldn't be proud of winning with something I don't like EY-FA. He said he looked forward to seeing what the results would be because he seemed to be good at comparing all the other three forces."

It was certainly a phrase that I did not quite understand.

Well, I'm pretty sure you're aware of Ai-Fa.

"I wonder what it is. The power of the i-fa should be a reputation even for the nearest clan, so the goal is to beat it, is that it?"

"Right. At least, it didn't look like I had any bad feelings for Ai-Fa"

Then there will be no need to worry.

With that in mind, the restlessness of Sarris Lang-Fou was contagious, too.

The uncharted atmosphere of that boy may be clapping at it.

(Well, there are different types of people around the woods, too. If we get along, we'll naturally know what kind of person we are)

Either way, there are three events to compare the remaining powers.

We also decided to set our feet on the next stage at the behest of Birdu-Faw.
