433 Ameshorn's Breath • - Brothers by the Woods

"... since you fell in the back of the house, the neighbors have taken turns taking care of you."

Eventually regaining his composure, Ai-Fa began to talk that way as he squeezed his hand plush with the water in his handkerchief.

I'm listening to the words, even in the wooden walls. He had a blanket on his back and a cloth on his feet, so he's not physically tough. However, the finesse that hadn't touched Ey-Fa's body had still been left behind a little.

"I couldn't leave by your side, so the ladies took care of the dinner and the laundry. From morning to evening, someone stopped by Fa's house more than once a day. Someone will be here soon."

"Oh well... you've annoyed everyone as well as I-Fa"

"It doesn't hit the word annoyance. However, we should be deeply grateful to the women who have given us strength even though we are not family."

Ai-Fa quietly stated, he began to clean it with a hand tug from my right arm.

Just being touched by the cloth jar that way makes me feel close to the presence of Ey-Fa. Like this skinny body or more, I was drained of my mind.

"The street commerce was also done beautifully by Tour-Din and others. In Sautti's house, Remi-Lu seems to have replaced you."

"Rimi-Lou, in sawty......?

"Hmm. Was it Rimi-Lou who watched over your handiwork in Sauti? So you stated that you should be able to help Sautti a little bit."

Reminds me of Rimi-Lou watching us work so enthusiastically, I smiled.

In the meantime, Ai-Fa's hand is moving to the opposite arm.

"Every once in a while, not only from the nearest families, but also from the Lew family and their families, came to see how things were going. Among other things, Rayna-Lew and Gazran-Rutim looked like they did every day."

"Yeah... I need to thank everyone when I'm better"

Then Ai-Fa's hand, which was cleansing my left arm, stopped perfectly.

I wonder what's going on, and looking back, Ai-Fa is moving her mouth a little bit in a strange way. This was a signal that I was struggling to get my lips together.

"Asta, this is more of what I've been meaning to ask you since you got your powers back..."

"Yeah, what is it?

"... Is Raina-Lou something special to you?

I'm screwed.

With his whole body full of spirits, Ai-Fa is working hard to avoid getting his lips clung.

"With high fever, you were talking rumors. In it, you called me and your father... and Rayna-Lew's name every now and again."

"I'm the one who named Rayna-Lew...?

"Uhm.... and Rayna without Mr.,"

So Ai-Fa defeated herself and finally let her lips hang.

I think blurry as I get a sense of happiness that I can't even say how loving it is.

"Oh... that's probably another human name,"

"Another human being? Was there anyone else with that name besides Rayna-Lew?

"Yeah. It was a childhood tame in my hometown and there was a guy named Lina. Didn't I tell you before?

Ai-Fa stopped cleansing my body and began to think with fierce momentum.

That way, I bring my head resolutely.

"I remember. You did say that name once. When Rayna-Lew and I first met each other, that's what they said about an acquaintance with the same name."

"Haha. That's an amazing memory, Ai-Fa. That was the first day I went out to the Lew house... it was almost ten months ago, wasn't it?

"You don't talk much about your hometown, so it must have been hard on your mind."

Ai-Fa quickly snapped her lips and now she stared at me with thoughtful eyes.

"So how close was the Raina to you, the Raina-Lou?"

"Yeah. Lina was like family to me. When I was little, I was kept in the same house... and I didn't have any ties to other relatives, so I decided to get closer to Lina's house."

And Lina was the last person I spoke to in the world over there.

How does my father and Lina feel in a world where I'm gone? For me, the most painful thing was to imagine it.

"... you mean that. I'm ashamed of my breadth."

"Don't worry about it. I can't complain about how blamed I was for calling Rayna-Lew without him."

"Hmm. Still, you..."

and so Ai-Fa clutched his mouth and suddenly clasped his head against his head.

If I daughter-in-law Rayna-Lew, I wouldn't even be able to complain - but did I stop thinking about it? Whatever it was, it was only as happy as it was for me that I-Fa would shine, illuminate and disturb me as usual.

"Anyway, it would be a prerequisite to regain power first. Those who had shown Asta himself should want it."

Pulling back the story forcefully, Ai-Fa began to pluck my chest and belly.

That was fiercely ticklish, but I managed to endure it because the happiness I was being touched by I-Fa exceeded.

"I'd like to express my gratitude to everyone soon.... Has anything else changed?

"Schmiral seems to have recovered to such an extent that he doesn't need to sleep and spend time. And my compatriots in the town of Ahe visited Lilyn's house and Fa's house"

"Huh? Did the Radajids come to see me, too?

"Mm-hmm. I guess it was noon yesterday. At that time… I had just spoken to the women later because you were about to suffer"

I'm guessing that's what kept me tight from morning to evening and nursed me. Most importantly, I was supposed to give him three days off from work as an important hunter. Once again, I was to be held with intense apologies and gratitude at the same time.

"... I'll clean your back too. Can you get your back off the wall?

"Yeah."

As I tilted my body forward, Ai-Fa tucked me through my back with a cloth, gently supporting it with one arm.

Since the hall is still warmed by which fire, it is as comfortable as it is to feel the hand tufted soaked in cold water. Besides, the closer I got to Ai-Fa, the more my heart filled with peace.

"... and I hear that the children of the Lou and Sauti families have also taken them off the trials of the sick"

"Oh, really? I'm so glad..."

"Mm-hmm. That one seems to have had a fever in about two days. After all, you're not a young child. You're the one who's going to suffer the most."

That's how I-Fa smiled softly at the crackle as she deposited my body on the wall.

"I was supposed to see the closest I could to how much pain you were in. I'm proud of you, Asta."

"I was able to do my best because Ai-Fa was there for me. This is true without mixing up."

Ai-Fa nodded "um," and rinsed her hand tufted again with the water in her handkerchief.

Thereafter, it is from the neck up. Starting with the face and neck muscles, the hair is also taken off one by one, gently and softly cleansed. I was so unreliable to my toddler that I couldn't help but shake my emotions again with the comfort of letting EY-FA loose everything.

"The rest is your legs. Add firewood if you want to get cold."

"It's okay. It's warmer than before the rainy season."

I strip myself of the blanket that was hung up to my stomach.

It is a nude body wrapped around only underwear called the lower strip in this world. Momo and Sne were completely thin, and their bellies and so on had been broken into six pieces. When I lose my subcutaneous fat, they reveal my abs so much.

Besides, I had never exposed my complexion to Ai-Fa so far, so I was finally getting some embarrassment back from someone.

but it would be inexplicable to weigh shame on the sick. If you think you've even come to the seawater bath, the exposure hasn't changed, and putting your arms up yourself and cleaning your legs was still a painful task for me today.

Speaking of which, they say Aim-Fou was out of this disease before the rainy season.

"Oh, does it have to be the rainy season to develop?

"Mm-hmm. At the end of the Golden Moon, the cold air was getting a lot tougher. Aim-Fou would also sooner or later grow up to be a fine hunter"

"Yeah, what the fuck, I'm getting a name from Ai-Fa... oh, sorry, wait! It tickles so much!"

"Tickle?"

Ey-fa will look back on me soon. The hand-tufted toe was on my sole. I was impatient in my torso, and I couldn't stand all that.

"You mentioned that before. It was not a leg, but a belly."

"Behind my feet, I wonder if anyone is ticklish.... Anyway, I'll clean it up myself."

"Right," Ai-Fa said, moving in my place again.

When I think I closed my eyelids that way, I basically put my hands on the lower belt.

"Parents! What are you going to do!?

"Clean up under the lower belt, too. Your eyelids are closed, so don't show them around."

"Mi, I don't think we're talking about that if we don't see it!

"But sweat containing poison should be plucked."

"I'll do it myself! Leave it to me!

That's all the interaction made me feel better.

With his hands off my lower band, Ai-Fa opens his eyelids and looks worried.

"You're losing power, but you're not making a scene like that. Besides, why do you have to make so much noise?

"A, if Ai-Fa were in the same position, would he have accepted it without making a scene?

Ai-Fa thought with her hands on her shaped mandible.

And all of a sudden I wonder if I've turned my face bright red, and I look at you with such momentum that my nose tips bump into each other.

"... what makes you imagine, you?

"... I hope you understand my embarrassment"

Either way, I decided to ask Ai-Fa to turn around, clean up where I needed to be in the meantime, and finally let me change my lower strip as well. That alone was going to drain me a lot of strength, but I couldn't stomach it on my back.

"... I've been asleep for three days, and even during that time, I-Fa let me get sweaty and dressed,"

"Uhm."

"Well... no, thank you very much..."

"It sounds awful, but I don't see you naked. Even though they were ten years old, it was the woodland lesson that behaved like that."

That's how Ai-Fa scowled at me again with a red face as she brutally washed the hand plush she had received from me.

"How much are you talking about that? You're starting to feel weird about me."

"Yeah, sorry. It must have been harder on I-Fa. Even if I thought I was in Ai-Fa's shoes..."

"Don't imagine such a situation! And don't even make me imagine!

I also had to beg your pardon for confusing Ey-Fa like that because I'm not turning my head any more than usual.

"Anyway, this should have removed the poison from the disease. I hope to spend the rest of my life wearing clothes."

That also allowed me to wear clothes for the first time in three days.

Wrap around only the long-sleeved skin and leg clothes, sit up against the wall again and pull the blanket up to your belly. So it seemed like I was finally getting comfortable.

And afterwards, Ai-Fa was also to cleanse himself lighter and get dressed. We've been together all night, so that was a necessary measure.

but that was the most painful and unchanging time for me while I was stuck in the separate room for a few minutes. So when Ai-Fa came back, he was so happy with the look on his face that he snuck his head around by what seemed to be a complicated facade.

"Speaking of which, how many days of the Tea Moon is it today? I said three days have passed, but does that mean three days, including the day I fell?

As I let him shake such a story in the blindfold, I-Fa shook his neck sideways as he lowered his hips right next to mine.

"Except for that day, it means three whole days. Today will be the ninth day of the Tea Moon"

"Oh, is that a street business holiday? If it was true, I'd like to give you a tour of the woodland opening."

But with this, it will also take a few days to recover. Now I just had to focus on getting my original powers back anyway.

So now, when I was about to ask when exactly in the morning, the doorboard was knocked from the outside.

Ai-Fa weaves his jacket, which was hung on the wall, and stands in front of the front door.

"It's Tour-Din and Yun-Sudra.... How about adding or subtracting Asta?

Such a nostalgic voice sounded so loud to me as it was forming in the back of the hall.

"Asta could finally wake up. Let's open the door now."

As such, when Ai-Fa removed the clasp, he whispered something from the narrowly opened gap before finally opening the doorboard completely.

In Pha's house, he hasn't stuck all over the front door like Lilyn's house. Therefore, I was able to confirm the appearance of Tour-Din and Yun-Sudra even from that position.

"Oh, Asta... well done. Wake up..."

"It's a hiccup, Asta! How are you feeling?

I'm sure I was told not to be disturbed by I-Fa. Still, when they removed the hood of the rain gear, they revealed a delightful color to all the tears.

"I'm fine now. Thank you very much for your concern."

I decided that I should say thank you first, not apologize, and let me try to answer that from afar.

Ai-Fa is closing the door and pointing to a water bottle in the earth.

"We'll be able to exchange words for some time, and Asta will want that, too. Hopefully, we'll go up a little bit."

"Thank you! Then wash up after..."

"Asta woke up, so we don't even have to slight everyone's hands anymore. I'll clean it up within now, so you can exchange words in the meantime"

We were allowed to face each other for the first time in three days by the realization of Ai-Fa that

Tooru-Din and Yun-Sudra, who took off their raingear and cleaned their feet, kneel down in front of me.

"Asta, you've totally lost weight. But if the fever's down, it's okay now. You will soon regain your former power."

Yun-Sudra was a smile full of brilliance.

Next to it, Tour-Din has a crying face.

"Really... I'm so glad... in case anything happens to Asta, we..."

"I think Tour-Din was the best guide to Asta in the Kamado number. Seems like there were a lot of toddlers in the Sung family who would give their souls back with 'Ameshorn's Breath,' so I guess I got extra worried"

Yun-Sudra smiled gently, turning her hand on Thur-din's shoulder.

Tul-din spills his tears as well as Yun-Sudra's body.

"Thank you for worrying so much. I really appreciate it, Tour-din, Yun-Sudra.... and you've put a lot of trouble on everyone, whether it's about the house or the business."

"Compared to the bitterness of Asta and Ai-Fa, there is nothing to say.... Um, is I-Fa okay?

And Yun-Sudra hisses her voice and asks.

I = fa is washing clothes, wood dishes, etc. at the front door, so he probably won't be hearing it.

"To save a toddler on" Ameshorn's Breath, "you have to make a distinction between morning and night, even give him water and medicine, soak up poisonous sweat, and keep giving him his own warmth. Usually it's a family change, but I-Fa was in that role alone, wasn't he? Because even if Fou or Sudra wished to help him in that role, I - Fa - had all said no."

"... yeah"

"When that happens, it means that Ai-Fa has hardly slept since the night four days ago. Especially during the night, you must have been pouring firewood and charcoal all the time so as to keep the fire going. … I'm a little worried, though the hunter-eye-fa will have stronger powers than the ordinary ladies"

"Yeah, okay. Thanks for telling me. I'm going to give Ai-Fa a some rest later."

Yun-Sudra regained her smile and nodded cheerfully, "Yes".

Tour-Din is also smiling shyly as he wets his tears.

"It's strange how I disturb Asta and Ai-Fa when they say they've left so much misery, isn't it? I apologize for making you look so embarrassed."

"There's no way you're gonna take that personally. I can only say the same words, but thank you so much."

When I caught my guard, I was the one who was going to spill tears.

Words are not necessary. That look and glance alone had allowed me to realize how heartbreaking they were.

"After this, you will also tell your nearest family that Asta is awake. Today, three days have passed, so we're all going to be having fun."

"But if everyone pushes me, Asta won't mind either, so I'll tell her to put up with visiting the house until tomorrow. … we were so fortunate to exchange words with Asta"

"When Jomtien is near, we'll make you a meal. I've been thinking about how to make an easy-to-eat sup for Asta."

When he opened his mouth, he opened it. I was so prone to glare with gratitude and joy.

Then in a few minutes or so, I-Fa finished cleaning things up, so the two stood up to see what seemed like a shame.

"Now, once you're excused.... Oh, and did I also hear from Ai-Fa about the diet of the people of the North?

"Yeah. I hear Rimi-Lou helped me replace you."

"Yes, but that's not all... the sugar, tau oil and fuwano came from Castle Town."

"Huh? I still know Fuwano, but what are you talking about sugar and tau oil?

"Asta said those words, didn't she, that as long as we had sugar and tau oil, it should be time to finish a crude meal more deliciously? That's what we're going to be able to tell people from Limi-Lew to the castle town."

Still, I didn't understand. I did want seasoning, but I didn't intend to demand it from Castle Town, and there was no way I could have asked for it.

"Well, Asta didn't hear it from the story before that, did she? Uh... two days ago, a messenger from Castle Town visited Sauti's house. It was the story that all the price of the missing fuwano was to be borne by the Count Turan family, so the people by the woods no longer had to replace it."

"The Count Turan family paid the price of Fuwano... Yeah, I guess the people of the North were originally brought here by the Count Turan family, so I can figure out how to get there. But what do you mean they even paid you for sugar and tau oil?

"Yes, because the people of the North were asked if they had the ingredients they needed to sift further strength, that's how Limi-Luu, who was there on the spot, answered. So they started carrying tau oil and sugar yesterday."

The more I heard, the more unexpected it was.

If the main thrust is not to make the people of the North work more energetically for a delicious dish, then I'm not convinced - but until recently, it was their way to narrow down even the amount of fuwano they needed. That was too much of a story to allow even the payment of seasonings just because one thing was advanced to the people by the woods.

"What does that mean? Whose judgment on earth allowed that to happen?

"Come on... I hear you visited Sauti as a messenger from a nobleman named Melfried"

The mediator with the people by the woods is Melfried, so I guess that's natural.

But anyway, Mel Fried is Malstein's deputy. If Melfried had allowed it, it could have been interpreted as synonymous with what Mulstein had allowed.

"Looks like you're going to have to ask the chieftaincy people for more information. When I get better, I'll ask the guys from Lou and Sautti."

"Yes. Someone in the Lou family will still visit Asta today. And we can't tell you to shy away from human beings in the chieftaincy muscle."

Laughing like a prank, Yun-Sudra smashed her tongue out.

With such an attractive look at the end, the two guests walked away from Fa's house once.

"Should I have also told you about Count Turan's house? But that doesn't really bother you, Asta."

"Yeah. Looks like I haven't gotten enough power back to haunt my head yet"

I took a deep breath and laid myself on the cloth.

Has that made you look too neat? Ai-fa just breaks his knee to me, and he looks at me.

"Are you tired? Would it have been too early to invite a guest?

"No, it was nice talking to you both. But let me give you a break until dinner time."

I stare back at Ai-Fa as he manages to hold his eyelids that are about to come down.

"... Isn't Ey-Fa the one who's tired? I'm all right now, so I need you to get some rest, too."

"I'm a hunter, right? You can't lose your power over this."

While stating it that way, Ai-Fa has put her hand on my head with a pong.

"You should rest. I'm watching you."

"Then you can rest while I watch you, too, Ai-Fa."

I = fa tilted his little neck, eventually creeping into my bunk with cat-like motion.

That's how he stares at my face from up close, with his head on the same pillow.

"With this, you might be able to rest while watching. But would it be less right to give yourself up until after the disease has healed?

I put my arms up silently and let Ey-Fa's body cuddle.

"Right," Ey-Fa snapped, rubbing his head against my cheek.

That's how we were supposed to get some rest time until Thur-Din and the others arrived again to prepare our meals.
