407 Little Family Harvest Festival ⑥ - Blood Bonds

Then I left the place with Yun-Sudra.

It seems that the Ai-Fas are still in the midst of receiving their blessings as brave men, and the Raina-Lou are also in the midst of exchanging words with different people as spectators.

We were supposed to work at the pasta booth again later, so they thought we should enjoy the feast now.

"Oh, Yun-Sudra on Asta. I'm just about to cook up some new meat."

On that path, it was the women of the Fou family who had spoken.

It is an iron plate brought in from Fa's house and bakes giva meat from different parts. Next to Kama, a large number of vegetable stir-fry dishes are placed on the Marutai table.

"Thank you. So, you want me to take it?

"Yes," he nodded, Yun-Sudra separating the stir-fried vegetables. On top of that, hot giva meat was placed neatly.

Additionally, it can be accompanied by a dip that refines different ingredients.

This is the use of ingredients used to take Giva bone stock.

The people of the woods shall not waste ingredients. Chatches squeezed to extract starch quality and soaked juice that ends up in use will also be used around for some kind of dish. Not to mention that quite a lot of ingredients are used to remove odors in the stewing process of giva bones, so it couldn't have been allowed to dispose of them, etc.

So Aria, Nennon, Myrmu and Lamam, all used to remove odors, are used for this dip.

But as it is, it also shifts the intense odor of giva bone, so the broth used in the making of char siu was further refined with myrmu and chit fruit.

Rinse vegetables and fruits that have been simmering for six hours and combine those seasonings. Furthermore, the seagrass used in the soup is chopped and soothed together. Its dip, which was dark brown, was also quite compatible with Giva meat.

"It's delicious," Yun-Sudra smiles at me.

After all, I have grated my hair, so I have an unusual adult impression.

Then the women of Fou also narrowed their eyes and said, "You guys look good," etc.

"Was Asta 17 and Yun-Sudra 15? If Fa and Sudra connect the edges of blood, we bless them wholeheartedly."

I lost my word and Yun-Sudra turned a bright red face.

That's how when she leaves the spot holding the wood plate, Yun-Sudra bows her head, "I'm sorry," with her red face on.

"No, it's not like Yun-Sudra apologizes."

"But it's not a pleasant misunderstanding for Asta, is it?"

Yun-Sudra lay her eyes down and carried the meat of the wooden spoon to her mouth.

"… my mood remains when I spoke before. Don't worry, we will never imitate Asta."

"Yeah...... but I guess you don't have to look sorry for Yun-Sudra like that?

Yun-Sudra said she wanted to keep thinking about me until either I or I married my partner, etc.

Besides, that was the word after I perceived my feelings for Ai-Fa.

He even said that if things were to happen between me and Ai-Fa, he would bless me from the bottom of his heart - and he would never give me to anyone but Ai-Fa.

Yun-Sudra smiled quietly and looked over at the square filled with lots of people.

"I am so happy to have such a feast. … on the other hand, I'm also caught up in the thought of what to do if Fou or Lan's men see me"

"... yeah"

"Unless Zaza's forgiveness, Din or Lid humans will not be allowed to marry extra clan humans. So, since Fou and Lan are originally family members, I think their eyes will naturally turn to Fa and Sudra."

That being said, it was now Yun-Sudra smiling with a grin and innocence.

"So even to Asta, the dowry story might come in, right? If it's Fa's house, even Fou and Lan won't be hesitant to become family members."

Fa and Sudra are blood muscles that will eventually go away, unless they connect the margins of the house to the blood.

And Fou and Lan now only have family members. As thin as this is, it would make sense to seek a new family.

(If so, is Fa or Sudra the person you dress up for)

By the woods, connecting the edges of blood is not a half-breed story. The edge of blood should be weighed above all else, so unless you can consolidate your readiness to join your destiny with the rest of the other family, you're not allowed to give them a wedding easily.

But there are only two in Fa's house and nine in Sudra's house. With so few, it should have been relatively easy to determine if a blood family deserved it or not.

Moreover, both Fa and Sudra show their strength firmly in their daily deeds and in today's harvest festival. Leaving aside my own house, I didn't even feel surprised at all when Birdu-Fow decided he wanted to connect Sudra's house to the edge of blood.

(That's how the people of the woods keep the name of the house.)

Fow's house, for example, says it has as many as eighteen families.

That was no greater number than Ray's house, after Rutim, even in the family of Lou.

But I'm sure Fow's house is that number after absorbing the bereaved family. I guess all the families, except Run, have lost their power in the last few decades and abandoned Mr. to become the family of the parent muscle Fou.

In reality, I hear that even between the last Conference of Parents and the last Conference of Parents, the three families have ceased. In just one year, three families were to abandon Mr.

I hear that the Rays have been family members of the Lew family since ancient times. So he was able to keep that number without absorbing other family members as family members, just by exchanging marriages.

Unless the parent Luu family declines, the Rays will not decline again either.

But the Fou family will only live the Lan family, unless they spin a new edge of blood. Then all of a sudden the blood should be too thick for the person in the marriage.

(That's why families like Fa and Sudra who have lost their families are the best match for marriage. Gaz or Rats or Baim or something, it raises the question of which one will be the parent muscle, and it's one struggle to see if dozens of families deserve it as a blood family)

But at any rate, if we could even tie a new edge of blood, we could leave Mr for future generations.

Even Sudra's house, that's the same. A few unmarried people exist, so they can spin the edge of blood with it.

Thus - it was only at Fa's house that it was established that Mr. would cease to exist if he remained so.

Something's making me feel more and more sentimental.

There again, I am called to another voice.

"Asta, you want a break? If you like, you can eat this dish."

"Asta, this is all he's got left."

"Asta, have you seen Tour-Din? I'd love to fry a bull, but we can't be as good as Tour-Din yet."

There are more than thirty women alone, so not all of them can remember that name yet. But everyone was more or less a known face.

For me, he's an important compatriot.

Even without the edge of blood, it is irreplaceable.

If those girls wanted me to marry them - I'd be filled with sorrow.

(You were talking about Vina-Lou and everything that you've said that you've turned down so many offers you can't count. Even if things were different from mine, it must have been hard for me to say that I had to favor them at my own convenience)

But I didn't feel like turning people away because of the awkwardness and hindsight that I hadn't even visited yet.

I was born in an exotic country, and I have nothing but cooking at the mercy of the men, and I have no desire to marry anyone to my daughter-in-law - and if I may be such a stranger, I will not stop thinking that I would like you to get along.

Still, after all, my chest hurts when I think about Yun-Sudra.

Only against her has I already felt awkwardness and hindsight at the moment.

If you hadn't gotten involved with me somehow, you could have freely chosen your partner at any time - and that was all I could have thought of.

"... what is it, Asta?

And that Yun-Sudra peeked into my face wondering.

And, "Ah," he frowns adorably.

"Asta is the one who looks kind of sorry. No need for extra care, Asta."

"No, but..."

"I'm the one stating what's unsolicited. At a time when this is bothering Asta, I'm the bad one. … in the woods, it is considered worse to be obsessed with feeling unrewarded."

After stating so, Yun-Sudra grinned at the fudge.

"Even if I wish to be dowry now, Asta would say no, wouldn't she? If it's supposed to be, that's the story that's over. It is my unselfish deed that still fails to abandon my feelings and leads me to hopes that are unlikely. Everyone will scold me if the other women hear me."

"There's no need for Yun-Sudra to despise herself like that."

"I'm not being humble or anything. I'm just telling you the truth as it is."

That's how Yun-Sudra gave her a rare, prankster look.

"But if you dare, Asta is making the same mistake as me, isn't she? It is with me and Asta that I am obsessed with feeling unrequited.... so I think Asta should worry more about her thinkers than about me, etc?

I might have blushed a little bit as I was lit by a burning fire cooked all over the place.

After looking at my face satisfactorily like that, Yun-Sudra has been pointing forward.

"What kind of food were you serving over there in Kamado? Eat a lot before you get back to work."

"Yeah, you are."

I shook my head small and decided to change my mind.

Besides the feast that was supposed to be held in my statement, I wouldn't even talk about it if I was ruining my mood. Let's at least get sentimental after the feast, I thought.

So, it is a new Kamado.

Grilled meat and vegetables stir-fried with dip, large quantities of meat dumplings, "Giva Curry" and "Giva Cuttlefish" were followed by Poitan dishes.

A particularly large platform is placed here, where Poitan is piled up.

However, it was a specially tailored baked Poitan made with Gamma cheese, and it was okonomiyaki that was baked on an iron plate.

I had them cut one by one and went further on my legs, and there were people who were making some kind of argument outside the hedge.

If you think of someone, it's Baym's parents and Fay-Baym. I hadn't properly greeted my parents yet, so we decided to move closer to you.

"It's a hiccup, Baym's parents. Was there a problem?

"Oh, Asta. It's nothing. It's just that parents are stubborn when they do it..."

"I'm not stubborn. You're just saying what you're doing."

Baym's parents were a small, meaty, stately, grand old man, whose age must be over forty because Fay-Baym, 19, is his youngest sister. The face looks a little like a Heijia crab.

Fay-Baim, who was pulling such a father's hand, gave me an explanation on the top of the Buddha.

"Sweet sweets are prepared over there, but there are so many women and toddlers that parents don't try to get close"

"That's why I'm saying there's no reason to get close. Even if you don't eat such things, the food is as much as anything else."

"Because the parents were looking forward to sweet treats, weren't they? I don't care if you get so stubborn and eat there and get upset later."

That's how Fay-Baim looks back at me while I'm on top of the Buddha.

"I hear the parents mouthed the sweet treats Asta makes in Castle Town. So I also tried sugar in my home meals, and my parents were always unhappy."

"Uh, when it comes to the sweet treats that Baim's parents mouthed... but because it was dinner with Timaro when you first saw him... oh, that's a chatch cake. If it's a chutch cake, you'll be ready today."

Baym's parents let him pull a hiccup.

But with a grumpy looking face, he said, "Hmm!" and turns that way.

"All the women and toddlers flock to that sweet treat. I knew it wasn't something the hunters should eat."

"That's not true. Those who enjoy fruit liquor will be behind them. Because if you mouth fruit liquor while eating sweet confectionery, the sourness will stand out."

…………

"Even at Lew's house, the Donda-Lou people are delighted with sweet treats. Especially since the chutch cake has a texture that no other dish has, it must be pleasing to the men."

So I decided to join Fay-Baim, too.

"If you like, let's go together. I'm a man, too. It's a treat that I've worked harder to make than I do, so taste it."

Still, we stormed into the hedgehog as we slammed the reluctant Baym's parents.

There are indeed many women and toddlers. but there seems to be a young hunter. As we greeted those people, we even reached the platform on which the wood plates were placed.

What's being prepared is a chutch cake and Poitan baked confectionery.

Three types of chatch cakes are prepared: one with caramel on the plain and one with cocoa-meted gigigi leaves, and one with caron milk. The baked confectionery is two varieties, plain and gigigi flavored, but three toppings were prepared: raw cream, custard cream and gigigi cream.

"Is this a sweet thing called a little bean? That's a lot of strange shapes."

Fay-Baim, who took the initiative and put his hands up, splits the three chatch cakes into his parents, and then speaks for himself.

Its smaller eyes opened to surprise.

"This is... indeed, delicious... I am ashamed of myself for putting sugar all over the chatch..."

"Chatch cakes are a special way to make them. I'll show you how to make it next time."

When I tried it, every chutch cake was certainly excellent.

Sweetness, all of them, is a beard. But there's nothing missing at all. It was a delicate and gentle flavour, as if it represented the character of Tour-Din as it were.

Baym's parents, who said the same thing, are "groaning".

Then the parents looked at me with emotional uncertainty.

"Asta, is this something that other women than Asta have rubbed on?

"Yes, the Thur-din of the Din family has been the focus. She seems to be blessed with more confectionery than I am."

"Hmmm..."

"So, Tool-din has set the right amount of ingredients for me so far. I think anyone can make something close to this if you make the rest just like that teaching. It's not hard to make."

Moreover, if it is caramel on the plain, the ingredients also need only chach and sugar. Besides, even caron milk at the same price as fruit liquor would not be that luxurious an ingredient. Even a day of handiwork should have allowed Fay-Baim to please his family with a delicious chatch cake as well.

"Oh, Asta, you were here"

And there was a man's voice from a low position.

It is Lyelpham-Sudra, smaller than the women there.

"Oh, thank you. Is the celebration over?

"Mm-hmm. I'm finally free. With more than 80 people, it's a big deal just to get a word of celebration."

Lyelfam-Sudra tossed it in her mouth as she pinched the baked confectionery.

Instead, Li-Sudra turns her elegant smile to me.

"Li-Sudra had a good day, too.... Is your body better?

"Yes, of course. It's not the kind of time that makes everyday work more painful."

It was the end of the black moon that Li-Sudra's pregnancy was discovered.

More than three months will have passed since then, but I don't see that noticeable change on the outside. Not to mention the married ladies wore loose one-piece cloth outfits.

"But come on, I seem to be getting hypersensitive to the smell, and I can't even taste the bone-glazed broth because of it"

"That's all there is to it. Wouldn't it settle in a little while?"

And so on, you don't even need me to comfort you with my knowledge of wandering. She should have already given birth twice or so.

Li-Sudra has a more loving face than usual, gently pressing her hand against her stomach.

After staring sideways at that figure, Lyelpham-Sudra turned to us again.

"Speaking of which, I think I was looking for Asta and Yun about that broth. I couldn't tell if it was okay to boil a dish called pasta on its own."

"Really? Thank you. … then it's time to go back"

"Yes."

We decided to say goodbye to the two Bayms and turn back to where we came from.

Such travel is also a struggle, as it is more densely populated than the feast at the Lou family. We even had a crowd wave, being careful not to bump into a lot of drunken men and such.

That's how I finally saw the destination, and the golden brown light glistened on the edge of my eyes.

It is ai-fa.

Under the bark of fire set up to surround the square, he was talking about who I-Fa was.

"That's Joo-Run."

Yun-Sudra, who apparently found the same thing, has described it that way in a slightly lurking voice.

"Even in the seat of the brave, it seems that that man was definitely speaking to Ai-Fa...... just like Sallis Run-Fou, is that man also your opponent on the fringe with Ai-Fa?

"No, it doesn't seem that way. Maybe it's just something I think of Ai-Fa as a hunter"

"Really?" Yun-Sudra was somewhat of a restless face.

That's the same look Sarris Lang-Fou was showing during the day.

When he approaches Ai-Fa, the women react similarly. Do you feel any air that I don't understand?

I = fa, as always, responded with a riddled face.

Joo-Run seemed to smile, just as he smiled during the day.

There's nothing suspicious about this. If I dare say so, it seemed unusual for Ai-Fa to speak alone with an unminded opponent.

(... I also have more opportunities to deal with the women, so the vessels are too small to disturb my mind at this point)

With that in mind, I went for the iron pot to do my job.

There was a whole bunch of people out there asking for the pasta to resume.
