404 Harvest Festival of the Little Families ③ - Power Comparison/Middle Battle

The next competition was tree climbing.

Climb the tree that will be ten meters high and come back. It's a simple event, competing for that speed.

"These four trees are about the same height and number of branches. I wrapped a cloth around the edge of the sky, so you can touch your hand there and then come down."

Since this is a battle for lightness, it may also be slightly advantageous for small humans.

But even muscle strength will be needed, so large humans will not be extremely disadvantaged. The one with the long reach is likely to work favorably in tree climbing.

(If it was Dan-Rutim, I'd be climbing at a tremendous speed....... I think I'd laugh unexpectedly if I actually saw it)

While I had such a rude imagination, the comparison of the power of tree climbing began solemnly.

After all, every hunter is at an unusual speed. Even people as big as Birdu-Fow and Lid's parents climb tall trees when they are all sushi with lightness that ignores gravity. I got the power of a spider, and I'm a hero of the Americans.

In that, it was still Sudra's men who stood out.

The lightness of Lyelpham-Sudra, in particular, was unusual, as if she were a real monkey.

Besides, if it is as small as Lyelpham-Sudra, it is also advantageous to climb through the barrier of the branches. It was just as fast as running the flat ground.

And not only Lyelpham-Sudra, but everyone ends up jumping about five meters high. Each time, there was cheer from the side of the women.

So, it's our parent, Ai-Fa.

Ai-Fa had also won the first round without difficulty.

Opponent Sudra's men were also at an extraordinary speed, but also a victory with a difference of more than two seconds.

Climbing trees is a very important task when hunting Gibba. Even in the training of rest periods and in rehabilitation when recovering from injuries, Ai-Fa focused considerably on something called tree climbing.

That is how it is the semi-finals by nine.

All the hunters are still winning. That is, six of the nine were the parents of each family.

The remaining three were the fathers of Chim-Sudra and Joo-Run, as well as Tour-Din.

"Isn't Tour-Din's father amazing to win in that facial rash"

Tour-Din's father had also beaten Sudra's men.

"Yes," Thur-din said, a little nagging.

"My father was encouraging the hunter to train, to the point of getting the right raw back, to the point of watching and worrying. I am also very pleased to see that little by little."

It was Thur-din's mother who was Din's blood muscle. That is why Tul-din's father was a man of the Sung family of birth.

He seems to be only about thirty years old, so in just a few years as a hunter he will be ravaging the grace of the forest, and then he will have walked raw like a living corpse for over a decade.

But of the nine people lined up sloppily, Tour-Din's father was never inferior. I know exactly what a tough, crisp hunter looks like. When I could show up like that, my chest was getting hot to me.

"See you three at a time. Let's try again in order from those who finished the battle early."

Three hunters advanced, nodding to the words of Birdu-Fow.

He is Tul-din's father, Lid's head of household, and Chim-Sudra.

Once we got here, whoever we were dealing with was a strong enemy, but it seemed like Chim-Sudra was as good at this competition as Lyelpham-Sudra.

So - the result is, after all, Chim-Sudra's victory.

Though Tour-Din's father had prevailed over Lid's head of household.

Lid's parents, who seemed to have the most stubborn body on this occasion, breathed "ugh" before poking Tul-din's father in the chest.

"You've been so good at climbing trees. I still don't want to lose compared to the power of the fight, but this guy's pretty amazed me, huh?

Because Din and Lid are family members, they have always had a harvest feast.

Tour-Din's father nodded, laughing with a slightly hazy look.

"... somehow, the feeling of laughing is similar to that of Tour-Din, right?

When I whispered, Tour-Din got embarrassed and so depressed.

Without eyes, wouldn't you have wanted to jump on a father who did everything in his power? Tour-Din, who follows his father with his tearful eyes, was very naughty.

So, it's the second game in the semifinals.

This was the case with Lyelpham-Sudra, who, in due course, had beaten the head of Burdu-Fou and Lan.

Following that, the third game.

I'm the head of Ai-Fa, Joo-Run, and Din.

There was another slight turmoil here.

It was Ai-Fa and Joo-Run who got off to the ground almost identically, and it combined with the draw.

Apparently, even the hunters by the woods with unusual motion vision could not determine which was ahead.

So, the defeated Din's parents grumbled, and a rematch of the division took place in Ai-Fa and Joo-Run, but this could not be settled again.

"Sometimes this happens. I don't think it's the first time we've had a fight in a row."

Lyelpham-Sudra described it that way in a frightened manner.

"But if you let the battle overlap any more, you might just weaken your powers. There are four trees, so why don't we play the last game for four?

Lyelpham-Sudra's proposal was followed, and the final was to be played by four.

It is composed of four members: Lyelpham-Sudra, Chim-Sudra, Ai-Fa and Jou-Ran.

Four hunters jumped on a tree along with a signal from Birdu-Fow.

That's the final, and everyone is at an awesome speed.

I'm supposed to hold a sweat in my hand, too.

The women are cheering. The ladies of Sudra, Lan and Fou in particular were squeezing their voices for the blood clan.

In the meantime, four shadows came down almost simultaneously.

The sound of landing on the ground sounds, and the dust dances.

From my eyes, I just think they all fit in.

After a lot of silence, Birdu-Fow shook up his long arm.

"The winner is Lyelpham-Sudra!... Anyone else?

The rest of the parents and some of the hunters were all shaking their heads beside each other.

There were no allegations of dissent, and the brave men of tree climbing were ordained Lyelpham-Sudra.

"But it was really almost simultaneous for everyone. All four of them are brave enough to call them."

Everyone nods to such words as to indicate their consent. It was so close.

Then Jou-Ran, who was still in the landing position listening to Birdu-Fow's proclamation, raised his voice as he woke up.

"By the way, what order was it from second to bottom? Are you still in agreement?

"No, you seemed in the order of I-Fa, Joo-Run, Chim-Sudra in my eyes"

"To me, it seemed like a breeze: Ai-Fa, Chim-Sudra, Joo-Run.... No, I wonder if Chim-Sudra and Joo-Run agree"

Then the discussion began among the men.

Something like comparing the power of motion vision.

"Whatever, I couldn't seem to get ahead of Ai-Fa."

In the meantime, Joo-Run was smiling cool again.

"It's a shame. I'm sure in the first two fights I've run out of power. Compared to the rest of the bar pull and the power of the fight, I'm going to squeeze further."

Ai-Fa looked back at Joo-Run in disdain.

"Is that stating to me? I don't remember you exchanging words with me."

"Yes. Many months ago, it would be about as much as face-to-face to get a bleeding or visceral groove. Even then, I don't think we've exchanged verbal words."

"Well," he said briefly, and Ai-Fa returned to the hedgehog.

Birdu-Fow's voice echoes there.

"Here, then, put in a small pause. Asta at Fa's house will explain the pause."

"Yes, I would like to proceed with Kamadoku's work, so I'm going to give you a little longer break. I'd like to explain its length, so please move towards the square."

In the middle of the square, instead of a pile of firewood to set the ritual on fire, I had set up a day clock. The angle is appropriate, but the length of time can now be measured.

"We would like to have a break, for a moment or so. Until this shadow arrives at this mark, right? It will be a sixth of the time between the sun and midheaven."

Surprisingly, the three events ended, so it's only been a little over an hour or so physically. Then the time would be between 2: 00 and 2: 30. It is calculated that if you settle at about 5: 30 to resume the force comparison at about 3: 30 at the latest, you will have another hour and a half of cooking time until sunset.

"Guys, you must be thirsty, right? We've prepared something called Chatch's Tea, so try it if you like."

A woman from the Fou family brought me a water bottle with a pull plate. It is a chatch-skinned tea made in the morning and kept cold at room temperature. This tea, with its citrus notes and slight tannins, can go there even at room temperature.

Yet whispering but preparing snacks. Which snack is really pinching, because everyone would be nourishing themselves with dried meat before they came to Fou's settlement anyway. The contents were made of Poitan fabric with ketchup applied to Giva's bacon.

The men sit down on the ground and tea shrugged in wooden plates, one snack after the other. Everyone is totally daunted and at the reception.

After looking around at the sight and trying to get back, I noticed a new shadow stepping in from the entrance to the settlement and decided to stop moving.

It's a big shadow that pulled Totos, and a tiny shadow that's decent.

It was the eldest brother and youngest sister of the Lou family, that is, Ziza-Lou and Limi-Lou.

"Oh, that was a lot faster. Have you cleared your job as a hunter yet, Lew's eldest brother?

Birdu-Fow stood up and welcomed those two.

Giza-Lou nods "um".

"I've already been able to hunt enough giva. I thought I'd go into the woods again, but I decided to leave that to my brothers. I thought it would be better to look at the power of the hunter anyway."

If it were Donda-Lou in therapy, he would be free from the start, but Giza-Lou had been chosen for today's spectator.

Like the dinner party at the Earl of Saturas, Donda-Lou seems to have decided that this should be left to Giza-Lou.

"Looks like it was just a small pause. I'd appreciate it if you could tell me the results of the previous power comparison."

"Oh, then I hope you can calm down here. I've set it as a time off for a while, so let's take it slow and let's hear it."

Giza-Lou was thus led to the middle of the square where the men were speaking, as was Dari-Sauti.

Rimi-Lou, who kept Jidula's reins, laughs at me.

"Eh heh. Limi was in a big hurry to get the job done, and they brought him in with me! Good luck Asta to Ai-Fa!

When I looked back at my back, I was stuck right behind me, and I was stuck with a snack.

"Is that it? Ai-fa, are you angry about something?

"... sticky, nothing angry"

"Really? But your eyebrows are all over you, right?

Even I wasn't as good at observing eyes as Limi-Lu, I could see that Ai-Fa was grumpy. In addition, the reasons can be more or less guessed. I guess I was in a bad mood because even climbing a tree I was good at couldn't win.

"Then we'll get back to work. What about I-Fa and Limi-Luu?

"I'm coming with you -! Hey, Ai-Fa's going too, right?

"... um"

So we moved with Ai-Fa and Limi-Lu to the main house of Fou.

What was waiting for us there were the other spectators - Raina-Lou and Sphilla-Zaza.

"I've been waiting for you, Asta. The women of Sauti and Baim headed toward the Thur-din"

"Yeah, roger.... er, that's hiccup, Sphilla-Zaza"

"… Yes," nodded Sphyla-Zaza, reluctantly quiet in contradiction to the proposal.

He's kind of a pungent face, and he doesn't seem to have the energy to make fun of me or Ai-Fa. As far as I'm concerned, there's no way I didn't take care of that heart.

"I heard one thing about Rem-dom. They're training hunters at Dom's house once again."

"Yes. So when they learn how to do the Dom family, they're going to put them out in the woods as apprentice hunters"

Dick-Dom finally made such a decision.

Of course, that was the decision of Graf-Zaza and Gene's parents after much discussion. Lem-Dom, moreover, talked about comparing his powers to those of the apprentice hunters under the age of fifteen in the northern settlement, and letting them triumph over it and show their power to the bloodlines.

"... that the way the signs were killed and the skill of the bow were comparable powers to the hunter in front of the apprentice.... So you were totally right about your outlook, Ai-Fa"

"The visibility is only visibility. It was Lem-Dom himself who actually helped."

After stating so, Ai-Fa stared at Sphyla-Zaza with a serious, unobtrusive look.

"You seem to have strong thoughts on Lem-Dom, Zaza's youngest sister. But if Graf-Zaza and Dick-Dom and others admitted to doing so, it still means Lem-Dom was no less powerful than the rest of the youth. As a woodland lady, pray for the safe return of the woodland hunters."

"I know, such a thing..."

And, as I say, it is a deeply sighing Sfira-Zaza.

I couldn't resist this depression just because I'm usually strong and persevering.

But I have to do my job today, too. I decided to get back on track and get on with it.

While we were doing the force comparison, we took turns taking care of the Gibba Bone pan. If we didn't stir it about once every 30 minutes, the ingredients would burn, and we would have to refill the firewood even more often to keep the fire. I checked and there were no problems with the contents of the pan or the fire power.

"Okay. Now let's get to preparing meat sauce. Giva, please prepare the meat."

Pasta was to be enjoyed with giva bone soup and another, even meat sauce. It's our policy to split boiled pasta on the spot and get people to choose how they want to eat.

For ten people, chop giva meat and vegetables. As far as the work of mincing was concerned, no one was any less pale. The smaller clan people had not yet learned how to cook so elaborately, but they were taught at an early stage when it comes to meat dumplings, so they are familiar with meat grinding and mincing.

(I'm used to working with people because they usually help me with my business. No one else stands out like Tour-din, but it feels like we're all steadily gaining ground)

The nearby clan was to have many copper coins by helping Fa's house and selling meat, but not as sparingly as the Lew family. I would have needed the right kind of copper coin just to buy all the everyday items I had ever lacked, and I would have been willing to save it for when I had to. There are many occasions when you need copper coins, such as injuries, illness, or childbirth. It couldn't have existed that way by the woods, such as humans scattering without considering them.

So even high-end ingredients are hard to come by. Although vegetables like those originally sold in the Inn Town and around tau oil and sugar, which can dramatically change the quality of the dishes in even small quantities after that, should still be unfamiliar with other luxury ingredients flowing from Castle Town.

Therefore, when it came to the dedication of the feast dish of the day, we all decided by twisting our heads together.

Because it is a feast every few months, I would like to show that I want to try to be more luxurious than usual, and on the other hand, that it is possible to make delicious dishes even with limited ingredients. Both giva bone soup and meat sauce-style pasta were part of a menu that was decided after being troubled as such.

"All right, here's the cut job. One of the pots will be at the house of Yun-Sudra's squad."

There are only four pieces in Fou's main house, three of which were used to simmer Gibba's bone gala, so it's one that stays or stays. The meat sauce ingredients divided into two pans were to be transported by one of them to another house.

"There's still about a half an hour left, isn't there? Then one of you will take care of the bone gala here. Let's move the rest to the next house."

There were five houses in the settlement of Fou. but with only eighteen families, two houses are now vacant. Nearly a hundred human feast dishes could not be served to keep the empty houses from being used.

So start moving as you step by step. Then he sighed as Raina-Lou, who was following him, felt in.

"Looking from the outside, working on a feast dish or a number is something that's moving so hastily. I'm not when I'm in it, but it's going to kind of turn my eyes."

"Oh, maybe that's true. I don't even care because this one's just moving on the steps."

During that journey, I came across the ladies of Fay-Baim and Sauti. Instead of staying in one place, they're willing to tour everyone's full work. On that occasion, the Raina-Lou and the others were to head out to other houses, this time accompanied by the Fay-Bames.

"Ah, Ai-Fa. Good luck with the two remaining events. I'm here to help you earn the title of brave man."

"Umm," he nodded with a stern face, while Ai-Fa also dragged him to another house and left.

I can't imagine Ai-Fa losing in comparison to the power of the fight, but I don't even know what kind of dark hose is withheld by the smaller clan. Rielpham-Sudra, Birdu-Fow, and Lid's parents. Tour-Din's father - and mysteriously around Joo-Run, doesn't seem like a very alarming opponent.

"... to this point, the power of the hunters of Sudra and Run is remarkable. Six of the clans, Sudra and Run are supposed to be small houses after Fa's, so I was a little surprised"

When he arrived at the empty house and was working on a new job, Fay-Baim called him to do so.

"Oh, sure, in terms of the number of family members, that sounds like less in order of fa, sudra, run,. But even Lew's family had a hugely skilled hunter in Lilyn, the smallest number of families, so maybe the size of the house and the individual power of the hunter doesn't matter that much."

"Really? Well, we're going to compare the power of combat, and I guess it's premature to judge just by the power comparison we've had so far. Baim's parents aren't good at bows either, but they have the best power in combat."

Baym's parent is Fay-Baym's own father. Speaking of which, I haven't worshipped him in a long time.

"How are Baim's parents? It's been a long time, so it's time for me to say hello."

"Parents will also visit before sundown, so please say hello then"

"Oh, your parents are here today"

Responding that way without any concern, Fay-Beim nodded "Yes" on the usual Buddha top surface.

"When this happened, he said it was the quickest way to see it with his own eyes. … in all seriousness, you may be nagging for delicious food"

"Haha. But there's Fay-Baim, so you can have some delicious food in Baim's house, right?

"It's like a toddler compared to the Astas, such as me. I'm not very good at numbers at all."

"That's not true. Of all the women who are helping me, I think Fay-Baim is a lot faster to improve."

Then Fay-Baim turned his mouth into a letter to and shut himself up against it.

It seems that she also doesn't like admiration from others, just to Ai-Fa and Zwei.

"Asta, this is done too. Do you want to put water in the pan and light it on fire?

and Sarris Lang-Fou, who was encouraging work in Kamado next door, calls.

"No, once you light it, you'll have to look around this way, so let's not put it on fire until the force comparison is over. And then we should be in time enough."

"Got it. So, what do we do?

"Shall we go back to the square if we seem to have enough hands to see how the other squads are doing"

That's how we took him out of the house again.

Then, from the house next door, the Thur-din, and from the house across the street from the square, the Yun-Sudra, could be seen.

"Oh, looks like we've all finished our work"

The work schedule was loosely organized, so it is reasonably a matter of assumption. It was a view that only about a dozen more minutes remained for the resumption of any Michi power comparison.

"Hmm? Are you done with your job, Asta?

Returning to the square, it appears that Birdu Fou, who was exchanging words with Giza-Lou and Dali Sauti and others, looked back at this one.

"Yes, and then I think we'll make it after the power comparison is over"

"So it's still too early for the covenant to be engraved, but will we start comparing forces? In bar pulling and martial arts, we're going to have to spend some time."

When Birdu-Fow said so, the hunters around him stood up as if they were waiting. I guess I've had enough to feed my English chi.

"The next force comparison is a bar pull. Everybody, squeeze your strength toward the throne of the brave."

Ooh, and a brave voice went up.

It is control as if everyone is a blood family.

That's how the hunters of the Six Clans were all excited as a new prospector named Giza-Lou watched.
