431 Ameshorn's Breath ② - Sorting Flames

That's how we arrived at the settlement of Sauti.

but it wasn't Mill Fay-Sauti who welcomed us in the main house, it was the elderly ladies of the branch.

"Welcome to the house of Sauti. Today, I'm going to take care of this job."

It was also one of five people who handled it yesterday. It is, however, the wife of the head of the branch.

In the meantime, no matter how long I try to travel, I don't see Mill Fay-Sauti. Instead, there was one more woman. And the women of the division of Vera, who became acquainted with the matter of the LORD of the woods.

So when we took off the rain gear and set ourselves up, the first women began to talk about the situation.

"Actually, last night, the child under Mill Fay-Sutty fell ill. Mill Fay-Sautti will have to take care of you for a while, so I'm taking over the partitioner."

"Oh, did you!... hey is that the one called 'Ameshorn's Breath'?

"Yeah, did you know Asta, too? Mill Fay-Sauti's youngest child was four years old, but he hadn't survived this trial yet."

When I asked for an explanation because I didn't know what that meant, the story was that 'Ameshorn's Breath' was a special illness afflicted by young children under the age of five.

Between the time you breastfeed and your fifth birthday, they say all young children born on this continent have to survive that test.

"If the toddler doesn't have enough power, he'll be called here for his soul. That kind of toddler can never reach a small number, so maybe the lesser than five year old child has the lesson of not counting as a family."

"That's right! There are hardly any children in the Lou family who can be summoned to their souls..."

"Strong children regain strength as soon as they have a fever. They say the poorer the family members, the more often they lose their young children because of the disease."

I get a lot of anxiety about what is spoken of lightly.

"Is Mill Fay-Sauti's child okay? Of course, at this stage, you don't know for sure..."

"Yes, but the two kids upstairs never made it through this trial last year. Both Dari-Sauti and Mil Fay-Sauti have strong powers, so I'm sure their strength will be handed down to the children as well"

Saying so, the women of Sauti smiled softly.

"No matter how painful, the trial ends in about three days. Until then, I would like to encourage us to do this work until Mill Fay-Sutty's minute."

For the people by the woods - no, I guess for humans living on this continent, that's also a rite of passage to live by. Barsha, the birth of the mountain of Masala, was quietly listening to the words, without the appearance of being stuck unexpectedly or seriously.

(So, Kota-Lu or Aim-Fou or something, all of which have to face that test?... No, maybe he's already made it through that trial to look like oh well)

When I thought of it that way, the Sawty women smiled again.

"So this morning, four people, with the exception of Mill Fay-Sutty, are going to be handy to the Mahydra ladies. We still have our own deficiencies, so we couldn't have had a better meal than Asta... but some of the women were delighted with tears."

"Hey, are you in tears?

"Yes, I am very grateful to have such a warmth for ourselves, who are despicable," he said. … I am going to bring in feelings that are not farewell but complicated. I wonder why you have to think of yourself as humble while you're the same person. "

That was out of my comprehension, too.

Even the forestside people who were forced to engage in harsh giva hunting jobs and were repelled by people all over town did not regard themselves as "despicable" etc. Even if the men of power in Genos had forced slaves to live the same way, the people by the woods had the toughness not to yield to such things.

But I guess the people of Mahydra, who have been officially given the position of "slave," can't do the same, even if they are formerly tough people. We can only know how painful it is to actually be chained and to have to be spoiled by our status as slaves.

"Whatever it is, it doesn't change the fact that a delicious meal was delighted by the people of the North. The men who were gathered in the square made a lot of joyous fuss, and the guards were in terrible trouble."

That said, the women had a sneak laugh.

"We want to give the Mahydra ladies a firmer hand gesture. For that, could you help Asta?

"Of course it is. That's why I came out."

That's how we got back to making cream stews and fuwano buns.

Rimi-Lou also keeps an enthusiastic eye on it. Limi-Lew loves stews, so I guess he's curious to know where the secret to deliciousness is. It was me who secretly thought that I would officially pass on the cream stew recipe to the fold where the study group at the Luu family resumed eventually.

"Speaking of which, the story of the people by the woods wanting to take their shoulders for the price of the missing fuwano was also delivered to Castle Town, right?

When I asked her that, the women of Sauti nodded yes.

"Even from Donda-Lou and Graf-Zaza, they never objected to it.... Oh, did you tell such stories to Fa's house etc"

"Yes, because Fou and Baim's parents will also be added to the meeting of the Trinity Chiefs to communicate their contents to everyone. Fa's house was also contacted in the morning"

That's how Dari-Sauti had heard today that he was going to put his foot up in the castle town before Jomtien, where the hunter's work began. I was hoping that I might be able to show my face somewhere with us working in Inn Town, but apparently it went wrong, and the story remained unclear after that.

"It was an unexpected visit, but it seemed to be quite a visit to a nobleman named Polearth. They told me to wait a few days because it was an issue that I could not decide without discussing with the other nobles."

"Really? I wonder what the consequences will be."

In response, I was guessing that the language of the forest people would never be heard as it was.

If you try it on the people of the woods, this is an extremely legitimate offer, based on our own values. Poitan is out of stock because of Asta's deeds at the family's house by the woods, so I want to live up to that responsibility. We cannot afford to overlook things like making others unhappy because of our actions. … is an assertion.

But in the light of castle town ethics, is that to be seen as an emotional theory?

It was also the Polearths who were enlightened by Camua-Josh who tried to spread the delicacy of the baked Poitan and inflict pain on the Count Turan family. In my memory, the Polearths and the Earls of Saturas humans were supposed to have clandestinely joined hands to spread the technology to the lodging town.

Therefore, it should have been on the noble side to be held accountable in the real sense.

On top of that, they made the decision that "we don't even need to take care of slaves".

So the people by the woods were like voicing outright opposition to that judgment.

Of course, the people by the woods do not ask the noble side for responsibility or anything else. In accordance with our own ethics, we have just stated that we want to pay for copper coins.

How will this selfless act be taken by the noble side?

Fundamentally, there is something called a disagreement over the people of the North. The people of the woods recognize them as human beings, and the noble side only considers them tools of crushing. I suppose those differences led to this one occurrence.

In what way will Melfried or Polearth, and hence Marquis Marquis Marquis Marstein, take this offer? As far as I'm concerned, I was willing to wait for that response first.

"Um, the buns might have tasted better yesterday."

After a few moments, Rimi-Lou, who had a tasting of fuwano buns, had freshly stated so with a much lower brow.

"Right. I guess the sourness of the arrows and seals will bump into other flavors."

There are no flavourings that will ease that either. They add ingredients like every day, but sugar, tau oil, liquor, etc. aren't quite hurtful, so I guess none of them have the same chance of being discarded.

It is also all the more so because the vanilla of the shim was originally dried for preservation. Pepe and Rohyoy, which have strong aromas but are treated as fresh vegetables - those vegetables, which resemble nilla and luccola, and the rock salt used in the preservation of meat alone, could hardly assemble the flavour.

"At least if it's tau oil and sugar, it's going to be a lot different. If I'm allowed to, I'd like to buy you some extra."

But if you put too much shoulder in the people of the North, that's what would buy the nobles the antipathy. Since this is a story that involves the laws and practices of the kingdom, we should have had to carefully identify how far we claim our opinions and feelings.

(He wants to take responsibility for Poitan being out of stock, and he wants to feed him a better meal, because it would be a completely different dimension story)

Anyway, now, we'll have to wait for a reaction from the aristocratic side. What thoughts they had of the people of the North and how they were going to treat them, so I should have seen a little of their thoughts.

Either way, the handiwork of the day ended safely.

Since stew is a devotion that cannot be said to be so easy, it was thought that the people of Sauti and Vera were also given a lot of confidence by the fact that they were exposed.

"You're totally dark. Please be careful on your way home."

"Yes. See you tomorrow. Say hello to Mill Fay-Sautti too"

That's how we did our job in Sauti, and then we rolled out our luggage in the rain again.

Verily, it is that which descends from morning to evening. This is an annual thing, so much so that I was worried that the rivers in Rant and Tanto would not flood, although adequate measures would be taken, both by the forest and in Genos.

"Hey, Asta, how's Ai-Fa doing?

On the way to the settlement of Luu, Limi-Luu snapped at the back of your platform.

"Yeah, I'm fine. I was moaning that it wouldn't be as good as my giva hunting job would think if it was raining."

"Oh well. That's right. But there's also less meat and dishes to sell in the lodging town, so just say it's just fine, right?

"Right. It's only the second day of the full rainy season, so I don't know how much Giva's harvest will fall."

On the other hand, the sale of bacon and intestinal meat has finally been in full swing since the conclusion of the ball at the Count Dalaim's house. Although it is still at the stage of viewing the situation, many noblemen and restaurants have offered to buy them.

The focal point on the aristocratic side is the Pole Earth, and the focal point on the forest side is the Lew family. The Lew family took on the role so as not to put any more effort into Fa's house.

The first thus to prepare the goods was established as the nearest family of Fa. Among them, Din and Lid were not allowed to participate because they were Zaza's family members, and three families, Fou, Lan and Sudra, were to be entrusted with the role.

Because this is a product, a certain quality must be maintained. Hence, Michelle and those families who are directly at the mercy of me were regarded as the most qualified.

That's how in the Lou family, Mother Meer Ray said she was going to get Michelle some dry meat making tricks from now on.

I guess the smaller family will soon be out of hand. In any case, it seemed fortunate to him that Michelle would be asked to do her job, which he thought was boring.

(My mime was a little depressed because I halved my stall sales. We've narrowed the numbers down to less than half, so I think it's good enough sales)

While I was thinking about that, Luu's settlement finally approached.

but I found a sneaky shadow there and I said, "Is that it?" and I was to lean my neck.

"I wonder what you're doing in this rain. You look like a bunch of women from the Lew family out of your outfit."

"Hmm? That jacket belongs to Lara!

Rimi-Lou was right, it was Lara-Lou.

Lara-Luu, dressed in a colorful hooded cape, stood on his feet at the entrance to the settlement.

"Uh, I'm finally home! It's too late, already!

As I moved my luggage closer, Lara-Lew called out loud like that.

"Hey, what's going on? Is there something urgent for Rimi-Lou?

"Asta's the one with the errands! Come here, come here!

Without any idea, I moved my luggage at Lara-Lew's lead.

It was the house of Sin-Lu, not the main house, that was so guided.

"What's really going on? Seems like he's in a lot of a hurry."

"Fine, get inside the house! Because the Ziva woman is waiting for you!

"Grandma Ziva...... no, Ziba-Lu did?

Hell, I don't know why. I wonder why Grandma Ziva is waiting for me at Sin-Lu's house, not at the main house.

But Lara-Lew didn't seem to explain it to me, so I decided to follow it honestly. Barsha goes back to Michelles' waiting house, leaving "Mr. Tired," and Rimi-Lou is the only one following him around a little bit.

That's how he took off his rain gear in the dirt and allowed his feet to be cleaned before stepping into Sin-Luu's house for the first time, in the hall, Ms Ziba and Lyada-Lu were waiting for him.

Sin-Luu is a forest, and I wonder how long Sheila-Lu or Tali-Luu are in the woods. Lara-Luu, who entered the room earlier, leaned softly next to Grandma Ziva.

"Hiccup, Asta... how you doing...?

"Yes, thanks to you. Ziba-Lou seems to be doing well, above all."

"Oh, I'm so much better, I keep annoying my family..."

"Nothing annoying, though! Be patient for a walk during the rainy season."

Apparently, Grandma Ziva revived her walking habits in order to regain strength in her weak ankles.

Of course you're going to need someone's help with that, but there can't be people or anything that you're unhappy with. Lara-Lew had his eyes narrowed with joy, even though he was in bad shape, and I could feel so happy that my breasts were getting hot.

"I would be very happy if I-Fa asked. But be careful not to fall in the mud."

"Oh, I'm thinking about walking in the house for a while... Yesterday and today, it was kind of fun to be hit by rain for the first time in years..."

Under her dripping eyelids, Grandma Ziva's eyes had a very clear glow.

"So, I have something I want to give Asta... Lara, can you give me this guy...?

"Yeah," Lara-Lew delivered what she had received from Grandma Ziva to me in the lower seat.

It is a small cloth wrap. My mouth is tightly tied with crawling grass.

"It's a Davila herb... it's not something you can take in the woods, it's a special herb you sell in town..."

"Is it Davila's herb? You've never heard of it."

"I bet you are... because in Fa's house so far, it would have been something you didn't need..."

That's how Grandma Ziva stared back at me, supported by Lara-Luu.

"That's the medicine I give to a toddler who took 'Ameshorn's Breath'... do you know anything about the disease...?

"Yes, they say it's a special disease that affects young children under five. Just in the morning, I talked to Ai-Fa about it, and in the Sauti family, your parents' children were suffering from the disease."

"Well... actually, we got Kota on that one..."

"What! Is Kota-Lu okay?!?

"It's the gods of the continent, not the humans, who decide if it's okay... I guess all this has to do is pray to the gods, not the woods... because if we don't leave this ordeal, we're talking about not being entitled to live on this continent..."

While stating so, Grandma Ziva faintly shook her shoulder.

"I'm sure it's no coincidence that Ai-Fa brought up that story this morning... at least in Genos and around the woods, there are a lot of kids who take 'Ameshorn's Breath' during the rainy season... I don't know why, but whether it's rainwater or cold has something to do with it..."

"I see. Even in my hometown, there was an epidemic when it was cold. It seemed more dangerous to have dry air."

"Well... when one toddler falls ill, the other toddlers who live by it take one after the other is the hallmark of the disease... If it does, it won't take them again... so I'm sure all the toddlers who haven't been sorted in Luu's settlement will be tested from now on..."

"Sorting, did they say? The word" trial "was also used in Sauthi."

"Oh, 'Ameshorn's Breath' also seems to be called 'Sorting Flames'... it seems to mean that a child who had a fever like it was broiled in flames and couldn't beat that test would be sorted by the gods to live as a person because he would be summoned to his soul..."

All I could say was "I see".

However, given the meaning of being entrusted with this little cloth bag, my heartbeat is accelerating with reluctance.

"So, Ziba-Lou, maybe you entrusted me with medicinal herbs to cure the disease -"

"Oh yes... maybe Asta will suffer from the disease too, I am endangering him. Come on..."

I drank my saliva.

Grandma Ziva keeps staring at me with a clear eye.

"Ugh, a long time ago, with rumors of a town, I've heard stories like this... people who visit from outside the sea, because they haven't received that sorting, have difficulty living in Ameshorn... When it comes to 'Ameshorn's Breath' when they grow up, it's a terrible pain... if they were adults, they'd have more power than toddlers, but they can't get over it..."

"... Yes"

"Rumors are rumors, so hey, I don't know for sure... in the first place these are just things that the ocean itself hears about rumors, and people outside the ocean never wandered around... someone could have been amused and made up without roots or leaves..."

"Yes."

"But Asta must have come from outside the ocean...? At least you weren't born in this land...?

"Yes. I was born outside this continent. That's all for sure."

"Yeah... but even if the rumors are true, Asta is a strong human being... because the woman believes she will survive such a trial...?

I grabbed the cloth bag entrusted to me by Grandma Ziva and made her nod "yes" again.

"Well, I'm sorry for the hassle... I thought I'd tell Asta this old rumor that no one else knew but me anymore..."

"Thank you. I really appreciate Ziba-Lou. There was nothing in Fa's house to prepare for the disease."

"I bet that's right... because if it weren't for the toddler, it would have been an unbridled story... then Lyada-Lu, I asked for the rest...?

"Uhm," risen Lyada-Lou, taking up the hunter's clothes that hung on the wall.

"Limi-Lew, you must have been good at handling luggage cars, too, huh?

"Yeah! I think you're better than my sister Raina!

"Now that I'm following you in Lulu's luggage, Limi-Lu asks for Asta's luggage. Let's send Asta to Fa's house and wait for Ai-Fa to return"

"Hey, wait a minute. Is' Ameshorn's Breath 'such a sudden onset of disease? So far, I'm perfectly fine."

"A toddler who was playing well suddenly falls and suffers from heat. That's what Ameshorn's Breath is all about."

So I'm afraid I was driving a luggage truck with everyone on without any precautions.

Once again, my spine gets cold.

"Until Kota had a fever just now, too, because I had completely forgotten the rumors about 'Ameshorn's Breath'..."

"I had a sick toddler in Lou and Sauti, so Asta, who was coming and going between them, would also have a fever today or tomorrow. … Conversely, I think we can assume that Asta has no fear of 'Ameshorn's Breath' if she doesn't have a fever from today until tomorrow"

Saying so, Lyada-Lu suddenly put his hand on my shoulder.

"If you're worried, that's the best part. It would be a shame, but just tomorrow you'll be off work in the lodging town and spending the day with Ai-Fa. If we don't have enough men, we should be able to get help from the Lew family."

"Thank you. I'll take care of you, thank you."

I thanked Grandma Ziva again before leaving Sin-Lu's house.

Get in the luggage car with Rimi-Lou and wait for Lyada-Lou to bring Lulu.

"Um, I'm surprised Asta might get into 'Ameshorn's Breath'! I heard adults are never gonna get sick!

"I'm sure that doesn't mean it won't take an adult, it won't take a human being once to do it again. Anyone born on this continent needs it as a toddler, so I'm sure they didn't have to worry about it after that."

There must have been a lot of infectious diseases like that in my hometown. To that end, vaccination exists.

Moreover, I wonder if the symptoms of mumps such as cold will usually get worse when I grow up.

(Instead of the absence of something called a cold, did such an intense infectious disease exist? A hundred percent prevalence is a little unusual.)

But vaccination with vaccines had been established in my hometown, so maybe I was just unrelated to that kind of threat. When it comes to medicine, the threat of infectious diseases was left in this way in this world, which seems to only fry herbs.

"Hey, do you know what an Ameshorn heirloom is?

"Yeah? Ameshorn is the name of this continent, isn't it?

"Yeah. But he said that was God's name in the first place. Because the first god who made this world was Ameshorn, and that Ameshorn fell asleep, his children, the Four Great Gods, are protecting this world instead."

Rimi-Lou, who was lined up on your stand, was smiling as he looked back at me.

"So, 'Ameshorn's Breath' is the sleep of a sleeping God! What an interesting story to hear about being breathed into the sleep of a sleeping god and being able to decide whether to live or die!

That's how Limi-Lew put up his little hand and grabbed my fingertips softly.

"If you were Asta, you wouldn't lose your breath like that! So... if you get a fever, do your best, okay?

With an innocent grin on his face, the light of anxiety had waned in Limi-Luu's pale water-colored eyes.

Grabbing that fingertip back, I make him nod, "Yeah."

"By the way, how old was Rimi-Lou when he got that disease?

"Rimi doesn't seem to have, like, taken it to the end of a year. He had a fever, but he was fine, so nobody noticed him at first."

"Oh well. Rimi-Lou, even I-Fa, 'cause I guess we've all survived this trial, so I'll let you get over it, too. Even the children of Kota-Lou and Mill Fay-Sauti will be fine."

"Yeah!" Rimi-Lou nodded cheerfully as Lyada-Lou approached in Lulu's luggage.

"You kept me waiting. Then let's go."

That's how I'm supposed to return to Fa's house in the luggage truck that Rimi-Lou drives.

So far, no modulation has been seen in the body. The skin chills originally, and I couldn't feel anything abnormal with my hands on my forehead.

(If it were to develop, today or tomorrow - just in case, I wonder if I should let it rest until about the day after tomorrow. If it develops at work, that would be a huge inconvenience for everyone)

That's a high fever enough to fall, so I guess that's a pretty serious disease. I had a fever of about 38 degrees with the flu when I was in elementary school, but if it's any higher than that, it's already out of my imagination.

Big words like trials and sorting clap at anxiety. The story that if you win this trial, you won't be allowed to live, or that it's the sorting of gods, made me feel unnecessarily ominous when I was born in another world.

(Do I deserve to live in this world?

Thinking about it that way makes me feel relieved.

But one light also existed.

It was the heirloom of 'White Sage Misha', heard by the bard Niya at Easter. Thanks to Limi-Lew for letting me know about the Gods' heritage, I was able to recall your heritage as well.

Misha is someone who may have been in the same situation as me. I was regarded by Alishna and by the traveler astrologer Lilanos as the same "starless people" as Misha, and Michael Volkonsky, supposedly Misha's real name, was a Russian-style name.

Misha, who has become its' white sage 'and' a people without stars', is supposedly a man who has added strength to the clan named Rao to calm down the whole of Sim. Moreover, after that, we talked about laying the foundations of the kingdom in terms of the prime minister's position.

Of course, everything is like inheritance. Because it's a story from hundreds of years ago, we can't even ask for credibility or anything.

But suppose all of that was true - Misha would have lived in Sims for years. As long as he lives on this continent, he should not be unrelated to the threat of 'Ameshorn's Breath', so he could have spent a few years retreating from it, so he could be interpreted.

If it was possible for Misha, it would leave me with hope.

At least, just because you're a 'people without stars' doesn't mean you're unconditionally deprived of your life. I decided to think that positively.

"If it takes' Ameshorn's Breath ', should I just take this Davila herb and make it even more adult?

"Yeah! The fever should subside in about three days! Meanwhile, food may not go through your throat, but you have to take water and medicine every day."

"If you can't eat food for three days, you're gonna lose weight"

When I tried to give him a bright voice, Rimi-Lou laughed "haha".

The people of this world are also prepared for this disease from the beginning. So I guess Rimi-Lou didn't change one complexion when he heard that Kota-Lou had developed. Even the people of Sauti were not trying to worry about Mill Fay-Sauti with a groan.

(All in the woods, and as the gods lead,?... I need to apprentice everyone too)

Instead, I was curious about Ai-Fa's reactions when they heard this story. If I had been in the opposite position, I would have been completely disturbed by Ai-Fa.

(Besides, it's not normal around the woods to get this disease even though you're not a toddler, and if they ask you that your symptoms might be severe, you might mess up just about EY-FA too)

That's how when I breathed lightly, the luggage car slowed down and started entering the sidewalk.

We arrived at Fa's house. Peeping his face from the side of Rimi-Lou, the house still had no lights on.

"It's so dark, it sounds like Ai-Fa hasn't come back yet"

While stating it that way, Limi-Lew advanced the luggage car to the side of the house for me.

Then, during the time of the kama, the lights were lit. It's supposed to be an engraving limit that we have to make dinner already, but someone's staying.

"I'll try to show my face before I go home. We need a meeting tomorrow."

"Yeah, okay - Asta, are you all right?

"So far, so much has changed."

I rewrapped my rain gear and stepped down to the wet ground.

So when he pulled open the door for how long, only Tour-Din and Yun-Sudra remained there.

"Hey, good job. I wonder what happened to you two so late?

"Welcome home, Asta. I didn't even have a job left at home today, so let me stay a bit"

Apparently, the two of them were encouraging the training of sweet baked sweets. "Wow" cheers Rimi-Lou, who sees the same sight from beside me.

"Smells good! For a second, Ro-ruki?

"Yes, because Yun-Sudra wanted to learn how to make it.... Oh, of course, because we brought ingredients and firewood from our own homes!

"I don't doubt the Tour-Dins. I'm sorry I left you two days in a row to do your job."

And at this rate, tomorrow we will have to entrust the Thur-Din and the others with the business of the stall itself, rather than the work you have done. Besides, I also had to ask Sautti and Lilyn to tell me that I would be unable to show my face for a while.

"Actually, I need to fold in and talk to the Tour-dins -"

When I tried to say it that way, Rimi-Lou shouted "Ah" and pulled my coat.

Looking back, there stood a wet eye-fa and lyada-luu. There is no hood in the hunter's clothes, and it is more convenient to expose his face to hunting work, so he stays upside down from the neck.

Just instead, they're wrapping a cloth like a whirlpool patterned bandana around their heads. And yet, on the back of Ai-Fa was a small young Gibba held. We couldn't beat the rain, and we were going to give you a harvest today.

"What's going on, it's Asta? He said it was an emergency."

"Oh, actually, hey, that's a hell of a story to lift up -"

Answering like that, I tried to step out more ai-fa.

Then an incredible shock came from right shoulder to arm.

That suddenly felt like someone had pushed me, and I couldn't figure out, "Is that it?" He was crushing.

Ey-fa's appearance, lying directly next to each other.

No, I'm more directly sidelined. The blow to my right was the impact of my body hitting the wet ground.

"Asta!" says Ey-Fa screaming around.

I was going to lose consciousness as I caught that twitchy, bright red look.

As Grandma Ziva predicted, I developed Ameshorn's Breath.
