430 Ameshorn's Breath ① - Morning

The 5th of the Tea Moon.

Even that morning, the second day in the rainy season, I wore a brand new blanket and fell asleep when I was soaked.

It was only my physical sensation, but the temperature at night, which was originally felt at about 15 degrees, was also suddenly depressing at about 7 or 8 degrees. Regardless of the actual figures, it didn't make a difference that it was as cold as tough to spend without bedding.

All the cloths and blankets available in Accommodation Town were only about the thickness of a towel kettle, so we bought multiple of them to ensure cushioning and cold protection by overlapping them. Unless you're a poor family by the woods, you're talking about the same way you get the cold at night during the rainy season.

It would also have been possible to purchase a soft duvet or something used there if we had consulted the people of Castle Town around Yang. When I was once abducted by Count Turan's residence, I was already informed of the fact that such a thing existed in Castle Town.

But the story was that Ai-Fa and others slept without bedding until last year, just wearing fur cloaks, and stirring up that much luxury in bedding because of the looseness in their assets seemed too much to the folks by the woods.

Besides, we've been sleeping on fur rugs. I was satisfied enough as far as I was concerned, just hanging a cloth on the window, laying on a thick, overlapping cloth, and a blanket from the top.

Also, there was no habit of using pillows either in the woodland or in the boarding town, so I wrapped around the extra cloth I bought and tried to lay it under my head. At first, I watched what I did, and I-Fa eventually expressed the feeling that it wasn't "bad," and I was supposed to rub the same thing in.

As a result, we were able to ensure a comfortable sleep during the rainy season.

Originally it was me who slept so deeply that I never dreamed of it, but since I started using bedding, I had been able to realize how deeply I was getting sleep.

but that's how I fell asleep. Yeah, subtle changes also occurred in my body cycle. I couldn't wake up at a fixed time that day, and I was to be mercilessly stripped of my blanket by the hands of I-Fa.

"How long will you be asleep, Asta? It's almost dawn."

"Ugh, it's cold! I guess not so much... but the discrepancy is even worse"

I shook myself for a long time before waking myself up on my bedding.

When entering the bedding, he is taking off his jacket, so he wears only long-sleeved skin and leg clothes. The cold seemed harsh that morning, too, so much so that the word "cold" popped up reflexively.

Ai-Fa is holding the blanket she stripped from me, and she's looking at me like she's stunned.

"You slept in a slumber yesterday until I spoke up. I advised myself not to buy bedding, but was that the wrong thing to do?

"Oh, no, that's not true. It's just that when it's rainy season, the sun doesn't shine in, so I'll just stick around and oversleep."

"Hmmm...... but I feel like I've corrupted my family and I'm not going to say goodbye and I'm distressed"

That's how I-Fa started to think about it with a difficult face, so I decided not to say goodbye and panic.

"Oh, man. I'm not banning you from using your bedding, am I?

"Hmmm......"

"I'll be as careful as I can from tomorrow! Mind your own business, My Lord Parent!

That's how my dear parent looked when I let him take it from the blanket of his hand.

"... you're desperate, Asta."

"Because the chill at night was tougher than I imagined. If I can get my bedding out of this, I'm going to catch a cold!

"... what does it mean to pull the wind? Though the wind would be blowing, not pulling?

While pulling the blanket of that hand, Ai-Fa asked Urung.

Without losing, pulling the blanket back, I look for the word "er".

"Cold is a disease in my hometown. It tends to take in cold weather, and when I do, I get fever and runny nose, and that's already tough."

"Hmm. Is it like 'Ameshorn's Breath'?"

"'Ameshorn's Breath'? Ameshorn is the name of this continent, isn't it? Does something even exist with that kind of wind and earth disease?

"I don't need you to guide me. It's a disease that only young children suffer from. … In forestside houses suffering from poverty, it is not uncommon to lose young children due to the disease."

Saying so, Ai-Fa pulled a blanket at Guru.

"I see," he answered, "but I'll give it a lift too.

"Asta, why don't you let go of that hand?

"No, because I feel like I'm going to be thrown into the storage room just like that"

"You think I'm that stubborn?

"A, Isn't Ai-Fa stubborn enough? No! Not in a bad way, of course!

Ai-Fa took a small sigh and then gave in to me.

Those beautiful blue eyes stare at my face as I shine the light that even a toddler would teach me.

"It's true that I was concerned you might be corrupt, but I wouldn't judge you suddenly for two days or so. I was just trying to help him clean up his bedding."

"Oh, yeah? Sorry, it's not like I didn't trust ii-fa..."

"You think I'm gonna force you to hate me that much? That's a little... that's a sad story"

"Oh, I'm sorry! I didn't mean that!

I panicked and took my hands off the blanket.

Ai-Fa wakes herself up "um".

"Even if it gets stuck in a storage room, it doesn't make sense to take it out easily. Do you want to burn it with kamado?"

"Geez!

"It's a joke. What do you say in the morning?"

Ey-fa cringed and laughed as she hid the lower half of her face with a blanket she robbed from me.

While I'm disturbed by that adorable trick, I'm weakened by "give me a break".

"It's true that this bedding is comfortable. Be very careful not to let that comfort corrupt you."

While wandering like that, Ai-Fa began to tarnish the blanket.

Of course, the bedding of the Ai-Fa has already been simmered and cleaned up in one corner of the hall. I blurted out like a child, "Yikes," and decided to clean up the cloth on my foot.

Such a mean and adorable parent of ours is of course foamed into a rainy season outfit. The upper body is a long-sleeved jacket, just like me and the men, with a hybrid style with long waist rolls at the feet of the ladies.

This lumbar roll is for everyday use and will be replaced with the usual short lumbar roll when going to work as a hunter. From the waist to the top, the heavy equipment of fur cloaks on long-sleeved outfits, and unnecessarily exposing only a slender foot, was another unusual and counterproductive sexiness, but no one could have been informed of that sentiment.

"By the way, I was just talking about the illness."

"Hmm? There are no toddlers in Fa's house, so you don't need to show them anything." Ameshorn's Breath is a terrible disease, but only young children can be adventured. "

"Then will adults never get sick in this cold?

"No.... but if you are deprived of heat, you will also lose your strength, and if you lose your strength, you may suffer from chest or belly disease. Therefore, do not insult the cold air of the rainy season."

After all, then, there seemed to be no illness in the land that would qualify as a "cold".

A cold is a disease caused by the virus. So if there is no such germ itself in this land, you don't have to worry about getting a cold no matter how cold it is. Speaking of which, the Antarctic continent and others are also soil resistant to viruses, so they have little to worry about catching a cold, even though it is such an extremely cold land.

(If I was supposed to visit the land with a cold, maybe it would have been a hell of a pandemic.... well, I've never had a cold in the last few years either)

Speaking of which, by the woods, both river water and rain water can be used as drinking water. Of course, it is assumed that we cannot remove the faint impurities without filtration, but we do not need to boil them for once. Anyway, there seemed to be no mistake in the fact that there were fewer germs than in my hometown.

Thus, during these rainy seasons, it was almost impossible to put my feet up to the water field, and I was able to clean up laundry and dishwashing with rainwater stored in a water bottle. Purifying herself was also such that her body would be too cold to enter the river, so that she could use the water from the water bottle and a natural shower in the same way.

This means that we still bring the dishes and iron pans we used for dinner to the earth today and snort them into the wash at the front door.

I was caught in a quiet sense of fulfilment as I stood shoulder to shoulder with Ai-Fa, watching the foggy and rainy scene.

"The rainy season is a lot of trouble, but it's not all bad."

"Hmm? What's all this fuss about?

"No, you spent more time in the house, more time alone with Ai-Fa, didn't you? I'm glad to hear that."

Ai-fa was making his eyes black and white in a void manner, but just now he made his mouth a letter to, poking my flank with his elbow.

"Still, it's about not lightening the troubles of the rainy season. You should pay particular attention when driving a luggage car, because your vision and feet are worse."

"Yeah, I get it. Be careful what you do with your giva hunting."

"I don't even need to be told. We don't have to bring up the story of Lilyn's house Schmiral, but in the rainy season it's often dangerous for us."

Plumbing the washed dishes with cloth, layering them on the doorstep, Ey-Fa breathes softly.

"Besides, when it rains a lot, the fragrance of 'Gibbon's Fruit' is also thin, so the amount of harvest really drops. It would be ideal if the rainy season came during the rest period, but all this is a woodland delight."

"Oh well. Business in the lodging town is completely idle, and it looks like hardship will outweigh it after all."

Still, this is how I spend time alone with Ai-Fa, my heart fills with peace. Even the noise of rain and white smoke felt gloomy while doing business seemed to calm me down.

(After two months anyway, there will be another day that will remain the same. Then you have to make sure you taste both the good and the bad)

With that in mind, I let the rainwater in the iron pot pound out the front door.

◇

Dormitory town business didn't look much different from yesterday.

As always, the crowd is small, and the dishes that have been reduced to less than half seem to be selling too much. Still, well, I guess it's because there aren't many other stores open that keep us up to this point in sales. If Giva food had been offered for sale from daylight at the inn, it would have taken away guests from you.

"Of course, we will not imitate anything that would betray the trust of the Astas. I only have a contract with Astas to" buy food for supper, "so even if they deliver it in the morning, they won't be allowed to sell it from noon."

The Nails of "Xuanrong Pavilion" and so on, he said to me.

This was not limited to the rainy season, but it protected our implicit understanding that it was only after the evening that we would be selling Giva dishes so as not to disturb the business of our stalls.

But also, raw fresh meat is not sold under a contract called "dinner only". So I can't complain to anyone about selling my previous Giva dishes from noon, but neither Milan-Math nor Naudis, nor even Samus of the Westwind Pavilion at the end of the day, was trying to do such an imitation.

"So, for example, if you buy the discomfort of the people by the woods and you can no longer sell the meat of Gibba, this one will be the bigger loss. I don't want to interrupt Asta's business at any inn."

Naudis of The Great Tree Pavilion in the South said so.

Both Naudis and Yumi have asked me for prior recognition of the issue of putting out the stalls during Easter. There was no such thing as a reason to say no to those of us who wanted many people to know how delicious Giva food was.

So, not just during Easter time, there were some thoughts about selling Guiba food even at the usual noon hours, but still your husbands didn't try to change their policies. Originally, the habit of having lunch snacks at the stalls in the outdoor area was deeply rooted, so it was not good for other stalls to disrupt the flow of such accommodation towns.

"Except during the rainy season. Only this time of year are many customers trying to calm down at the inn and enjoy a snack, so we have made sure to serve Giva food from noon only on the days when Asta and the others will be off the stall.... then well, only then will noon sales jump astonishingly. For us, this is a big enough boon."

Moreover, it was the common opinion of your humble husbands that we would not want this much sales even during the rainy season on the day we were out of the street.

So the owners of each inn, who narrowed down the amount of food and meat purchased since about the end of the Golden Moon, bought us as much giva meat as ever only the day before we left business.

"Still, do we still not have more inns to buy Giva meat? That's a little unexpected."

Such a question has been raised by Milan-Math in The Tail Pavilion of Kimus.

"Right. Wouldn't it be a big deal to be able to buy out meat from Caron's torso before and after Easter, after all? In order to popularize it, Jan is a man who works hard in the Tanto Pavilion of Grace."

"Hmm. Or maybe there are still a lot of human beings up against the people by the forest. There are many people who would love to hear about you and the inn, but they can't take the last step."

The stalls in the outdoor area are managed by the inn, so our topic is being discussed by you.

Those who do business in the town gather regularly in people of the same profession to exchange different arrangements. That's what they call the Chamber of Commerce. However, unless he is also a current merchant in the stall business, there is more or less other business, so there is no such thing as the "stall master's chamber of commerce".

"Even when it comes to the business of selling meat, Genos only sells dabags of carons and Dalaim's Kimus. The people in Castle Town have divided us up, so there's no reason to create a chamber of commerce."

"I see. But the people by the woods are also the people of Genos, so I guess it would be better if they belonged to some sort of chamber of commerce."

During the rainy season, we use fuwano instead of thin pointers, so our store doesn't raise the price due to a thin selling policy, and I don't discuss it with anyone, so it's arranged by surprise by hand. So far I have never felt a great deal of disabling, but I couldn't help but take it off the feeling that "strangers are making rough money" after all.

"Well, I'm not buying a lot of disgust from the people in town, so I need to stick with it. Still, if you want to exchange words with the people in town..."

So Milan-Math silenced himself with a sluggish face.

"What is it? If you have the means to exchange opinions with the people in town, I'd love to know."

"Hmm... then, as an associate of my shop, I might not be able to show my face to the innkeeper... They're all the people in the inn who serve snack stalls, so it's probably the closest thing you deserve to join..."

It is somewhat oddly toothless Milan-Math.

"But if I do, people around me may think that you are finally the most cordial with my shop..."

"Isn't that the right story?... Ah, is it inconvenient for Milan-Math to be thought that way?

"Is that why!... but I don't buy as many products from you as I do from other inns in my shop..."

"Don't worry about that. Kimmus's Tail Pavilion, the first to connect you, is special to me."

That's why I had to attach a promise from Milan-Math that I would eventually join the inn.

However, they said that lodging stopovers often take place at the beginning of the month, and the portion of the tea month was already over. No matter how soon, it's only after next month that it's going to happen.

Other remarkable things to say in the lodging town that day - about revealing one case of Schmiral to the Radajids.

Sim's popular Radajid, who hardly revealed his emotions, was also trembling on his shoulders and embarking on himself all this time. It just didn't get to the point of disrupting that look, but the light of anxiety and concern was flooded out of those black eyes.

"Schmiral, are you okay? I'm worried."

"Yes, we talked about how you should be able to move well again in a few days - but worrying doesn't make a difference, does it?"

That's how Radajid and his parents were able to come out to pay their respects.

"Really? Thank you, Asta. I'll be on my way soon."

"Yes, we talked about it that it should be a lot better tomorrow or the day after, so you should think about that."

That's how I ended up quietly closing the business that day.

After that, it is again an expedition to the settlement of Sauti.

The Luu family should no longer have had any reason to accompany them, but only Limi-Luu and Barsha were to be taken away that day.

"Firewood and pico leaves are not much we can do at home because we were fully prepared before the rainy season. Then I could have seen how Sautti was doing. - Go on, Donda, Dad told me!

"Maybe that's an excuse, and you're worried about letting Asta go on her own. He didn't show up yesterday, but the guards and the people of the North are still wandering around."

Indeed, Ai-Fa, too, was badly concerned about that point. I don't know one thing about the location relationship between the site where the opening is being carried out and the settlement of Sauti, so I guess I really care.

"We just want to give you a tour of the construction site, too, right? I'm thinking about doing that on my next holiday, but I figured I'd have to get the escorts ready for the parents to forgive me."

"That's right. Originally, the people of the North were known as fierce barbarians. I don't care how many chains you say there are over a hundred of them, you're gonna need a solid escort."

Barsha and Lyada-Lu are not enough, which is a difficult place to be. Since the period of rest has also ended in Fa's proximity and in the Leu family, I am sure he will not be able to rest his work as a hunter with stories like this.

(In the meantime, why don't we talk to Ai-Fa this evening? If some clan is a rest period, you might be able to rent a man from there)

With that in mind, I decided to stop by Lilyn's house first.

Last night, Vina-Lou was allowed to stay in Lilyn's main house without being drawn back to his home. Limi-Lew had also been entrusted with the task of seeing how it was going.

Knocking on the doorboard just like yesterday, Ur Ray-Lilyn greeted me just like yesterday.

As always, it is a lady wrapped around an atmosphere as strange as a fairy. When I could stare at him with that clear, water-colored look, he would disrupt my feelings for no reason.

"Welcome to Lilyn's house. Please rise."

"Oh, no, Vina-Lou had a delivery today...... how's Schmiral doing?

"I also calmed down my breathing today and it seems a lot easier. Now, I'm asleep."

"Now, as soon as we give Vina-Lou the delivery, we will disperse. We're going to be working at Sautti, too."

Ur Ray-Lilyn nodded one thing and hid himself on the other side of the line.

Then this time, Vina-Lou, deeply annoyed, showed up in cursory behavior. She drooled her long hair forward about unnaturally and still seemed to be trying to hide that look today.

"What the hell are you doing to me...? Did you come to laugh at me...?

"Duh, why are we laughing at Vina-Lou? It's called paranoia."

"Heh... then it's like I'm wishing that guy more for a dowry...?

No matter how much you drool your forehead, your mouth area has been exposed. Even today, Vina-Lou's face was stained red with shame.

"It doesn't matter which one, does it? Mama Mia Ray said if you need to know how you feel, you can do whatever you want. Okay?

…………

"I'm more worried about not welcoming my partner forever than that. If Schmiral was the man his partner deserved, we'd all be thrilled!

"Already... Shut up, Limi Ha..."

Vina-Lou twisted herself in colour, a flair that seemed to disappear even now.

While Vina-Lou doesn't disappear, I'll give you the package I was prepared for.

"Um, this is a greeting from me. Have Schmiral eat at dinner."

"What, this...? Dinner would be a lesson you shouldn't talk about if it wasn't made in the tears of that house...?

"This isn't a finished dish, so it shouldn't be disobeying the Moribe lesson either. Make it a delicious dish."

Needless to say, it was a curry vegetable, dried and hardened after the various vanilla was sautéed with aria, fuwano and milk fat. I packed it tightly in a lidded container that I bought from the lodging town, so it should be about three days for everyone in the Lilyn main house to have it.

Did Vina-Lou guess who it was because of the scent that leaked from the wrap? "I already..."

"What the hell is going on, guys... are you going to blame me for killing me...?

"I said I didn't mean to be hairy. Now say hello to Shmiral and Lilyn."

We decided to resign early before Vina-Lou did all he could.

"Oh man," Barsha laughs in the luggage car that is set off again.

"It's so beautiful and so colorful, I wouldn't do that if I were a freshman. If that was twenty years old, I wouldn't have lived without sex."

"Um, but Sister Vina never said much about son-in-law or daughter-in-law, so I haven't really even spoken to the men in the other house."

"Well then, if we decide on a wedding, everyone in the family will really be thrilled"

"Yeah, you are!... Donda, my dad seemed a little rusty."

I can't imagine the rusty Donda-Lou, so I'm sure it's something Limi-Lou drew on with its exceptional sensitivity and insight.

Whatever it is, you have to win Mr. Lilyn first in order for the two of you to be connected. As far as I'm concerned, the worst conclusion I could imagine was that Schmiral would be judged ineligible as a forest folk after the two feelings fit together.

(But Schmiral must be recognized as a forest folk.)

Schmiral has been wounded, but that is also for covering Lilyn's family. Now there will be no forestside people to blame for the shemiral's detours.

And yet, as a result, Schmiral was able to spend time with Vina-Lou, who had not been face-to-face in a long time, and in a way that did not come to mind. Maybe that was also because the rain reduced the number of houses and commercial jobs and even loosened manpower in the Lew family.

So after all, that was also supposed to be the ordeal and benefit brought about by the rainy season.

(Not all good, but not all bad)

With the same emotion I had in the morning, I ran gills to the settlement of Sauti.
