468 Harvest Festival and Birth Banquet ③ - Unexpected Ending

Some time later, Ai-Fa left the cabin.

Sheila-Lou is leaving Kamadu's cabin just before that. It looked like he had been exchanging words with Dalm-Lou outside for a while at that time, but he could not hear its contents.

Then, a few minutes later - Sheila-Lou came back and told me, "Ai-Fa won," he said.

He was very calm and had a slightly sliced face.

"Again, I = fa is a hunter with tremendous power. This time, I wonder if you will be chosen by eight brave men."

"Yeah, well, I wonder"

As far as I'm concerned, it was extremely complicated.

Now Darum-Lou has suffered two defeats, ending today's power comparison.

The hunters compare their powers to show their pride, so they don't deserve to tell me anyway - I figured somewhere, I was going to have a bad feeling.

(Well, I guess if I didn't know how Sheila-Lou feels, I wouldn't have thought of it this way)

Speaking of which, it was also the fold of the previous harvest festival that confirmed how Sheila-Lou felt.

At that time, it was just me and Sheila-Lou who stayed here and set the fire. That's how Sheila-Lou was turning his face so bright red that it wasn't unusual as the conversation about Dalm-Lou progressed.

(Back then, Darum-Lou was still obsessed with Ai-Fa. So I challenged Ai-Fa. Darum-Lu was in return, and he abstained compared to the power after that)

At that time, Sheila-Lou, who crouched in front of Kama and desperately hid her bright red face, now smiles calmly in front of me.

Since that day, I've seen Sheila-Lou and Dalm-Lou spin their edges in a hiccups several times.

At one point it was a settlement in Sauti, at one time it was a feast of the Lou family, and at one time it was in the castle town - every time I saw it, the distance between the two was something that felt like it was shrinking.

(But I guess that's what I think... because I wish I was)

Sheila-Lou and Dalm-Lou are blood clans. It's also a cousin relationship, where the parents are brothers. Of course, I guess I've had intimacy since I was a young girl, and I guess Darum-Lou is kind within me. At least, Limi-Luu and Lara-Luu and others felt like they admired Darm-Luu a lot.

If you were such a Dalm-Lou, you wouldn't be treating Sheila-Lou like a jackass.

So while it may just be a natural gesture towards the blood clan that I am comfortable with Sheila-Lou - as far as I'm concerned, I just wanted to think that it adds more feelings than that.

(Dalm-Lou is, like, 19 years old now. If my obsession with Ai-Fa is broken, then I'm reaching the age I should have given you a wedding... and what are you thinking about going forward)

While I was thinking about it, I also returned to Kamadu's cabin.

Ai-Fa also had a face that seemed a lot more disturbing in Ai-Fa,

Sheila-Lou smiled quietly over there before returning to his work.

At that time, Vina-Lou will announce the end of the work, "It's over..."

"Oh, thank you very much. Now let's move to the Balshas' house."

I left the Kamadu cabin of the Sin-Lu family with Ai-Fa and Vina-Lu.

As he walks, Vina-Lou asks like he's going to get hurt.

"Hey Asta, I shouldn't have used a stone kiln...?

"No. We still have time until sundown, so it's much later to put fire in the stone kiln. We have to finish all the dishes by then."

Nowadays, stone kilns are built in all the houses of the settlement of Luu. But the number of dishes I could cook in one stone kiln was limited, so I had to do my job in houses everywhere.

In the square, the heat is still swirling. Dozens and dozens of existing hunters of Luu blood are working together from next to next. I didn't even know who was winning, but people were fanatical and cheering anyway.

"Yo, Asta. You've finally met me."

And, on his way to the Barshas' house, he was stopped by Rudd-Lou.

Looking back at you, I laughed unexpectedly before saying hello.

"Hey Rudd-Lou. It's going to be fun."

"It's not fun for anything. These guys were moving around a little bit, and the others were about to crush them."

Rud-Lu was captured with his right hand in Limi-Lu and his left hand in Tara, respectively. The two young girls were smiling extremely happily.

"I won twice, too. Everyone who seems to be strong is challenged, so of course."

"Yeah. Sin-Luu is a brave man this time too, so you can't challenge Rud-Luu"

"Oh. Sin-Lu has grown stronger too, so if the rest of us don't get ahead of him, he'll win until he's eight again"

That's how Rudd-Lou turned his gaze toward Ai-Fa.

"Ai-fa's going to make me look good, too, and the others are going to get me ahead of them? Ai-fa's not a brave guy, so anyone can try the one they want, right? One more thing, anyone can try."

"No, I would be the one who should give way to the other hunters in order. It sounds terrible, but this is a banquet for the Lew family."

"Hmm. There are a bunch of people who want to try Ai-Fa, so don't worry about it. I'll pray I can do it with Ey-Fa too."

Leaving those words behind, Rudd-Lou went back to the hedgehog again.

Speaking of which, Ai-Fa hasn't even had any experience playing against Rudd-Lou yet.

Moreover, Ji-Mayam and Dalm-Lu, who fought today, both compete against each other in comparison to their previous powers. Except for that, only three hunters - Ray's name unknown - and Rau-Ray, Dan Rutim - should have had experience with the match.

(At this rate, I wonder if Ai-Fa will be chosen by eight brave men again)

Sneaking a peek at the side, Ai-Fa was faceless to perfection.

At the last harvest festival, it was something that also seemed unfortunate to be unable to compete due to injuries, but when I had to be able to compete in this way, this time the feeling of not wanting to do anything that stood out at the Lew family harvest festival seems to stand out.

Either way, I decided to do my job.

When he arrived at the Kamadu cabin in the house of the Balshas, there Mim and several women were simmering pots and baking poitan.

"Ah, Asta! Good luck today! How was Inn Town?

"Yeah. I haven't changed my legs. I was able to sell out all the food."

"Really? Above all."

Mim is smiling and stirring the contents of the pan.

As far as I'm concerned, I'm very concerned about you.

"Mim, that's Mim's cooking, isn't it?

"Yes! Because Raina-Lou told me you wanted me to cook whatever dish I wanted!

"You're a juice dish, not the usual dish of caron milk. This guy's looking forward to it."

"Eh heh. If the Lew family hadn't served juice dishes in the stalls, I'd probably have sold this dish. If I could prepare so many plates, I'd be talking about."

That means it's a piece of confidence for Mim as well.

This is where I am increasingly looking forward to the start of the feast.

"Well, I'll let you use our workbench. Let me use the stone kiln because it'll be a little later."

"Yes! I think this one is almost done baking all the poitans!

I, along with Vina-Lou, decided to work on a second menu.

Then Vina-Lou comes sighing again.

"Mime is so small, he's so good at cooking that Rayna envies him... he's getting more and more disgusted with his crudity Wow..."

"That's not true, I said. Raina Lew, Mime and Sheila Lew have extraordinary strengths, so you shouldn't worry too much."

"But even Limi is incomparable with me... and even Ur Ray-Lilyn. Come on..."

That was a bit of a nostalgic name for me.

It is the name behind Lilyn's parent, Gillan-Lilyn.

"Speaking of which, Vina-Lou was staying at Lilyn's house for a few days, wasn't he? Is Ur Ray-Lilyn that good at cooking?

"Yeah... she's a lilyn person, so Asta shouldn't have handled her directly...? Yet I think he was as good as Limi wow..."

That is more than quite skilled. Rimi-Lou is best at making confectionery, but he should be second only to the Raina-Lou people in ordinary dishes.

"Besides, no matter what happens, you don't make a scene, and now, you're a more attentive person than anyone else... such a fine bunch of women wouldn't even be like that by the woods..."

"Really? She had a strange vibe."

"Yeah... and it's so beautiful... like me, it's not even fat..."

And, Vina-Lou will face like another shank of a child.

Emotional instability, even if not as good as it used to be, seems the same.

"Vina-Lou isn't anything fat. Rather, isn't it so thin that Ur Ray-Lilyn is too thin for the people by the woods?

"Yeah... that could be..."

Is the story still catching on that being skinny is regarded as a symbol of beauty in Sims?

When I thought of it that way, Vina-Lou brought his head to the lid.

"It's not my place to twitch like this... but that's how nice a bunch of women were to be called Ur Ray-Lilyn... I guess I... think that kind of people are ideal..."

"Really? I've only exchanged a few words, so you don't know much about Ur Ray-Lilyn."

"... well, I can only aspire to be a fine person..."

That's how Vina-Lou stared me in the face right in the face.

"Hey Asta... I've always wanted to ask you something..."

"Yes, what is it?

"I know I've heard something similar before... but I wonder if I can cook better as that... kamado number...?

Whatever that was, it was a difficult question.

But the answer seems to be one.

"Techniques should go up if you train, not just cook. Now, Vina-Lou, you could have lifted your arms as much as you could have seen in the last few months, right?

"But... I've never liked or been good at Kamado's work for a long time... because I still feel the least useful in the house..."

"That's because everyone in the main house has more than normal strength. I think the three Raina-Lu, Limi-Luu, and Meer Ray-Luu are also the forces of fingerprinting by the woods. But I think Vina-Lou and Lara-Lou are now unbeatable women."

That was my heart.

Vina-Lou and the others must have acquired more skill than the rest of the clan women for the advantages they have received from time immemorial.

"Besides, if you have a desire to improve more, you're sure to follow the results as well. Raina-Lou and Sheila-Lou must have acquired so much skill because of the extraordinary intensity of their feelings."

"The strength of feelings... that's what it is..."

Vina-Lou has laid his hands on the workbench and has stepped up to me.

"... think about it, it should be a training for me to be able to help Asta on a day like this...?

"Yes, I think you're right"

"Okay wow... I'm going to try my best to be a little Rayna... I'm sure Rayna is giving up her arms as a kamadoku number on these occasions..."

I smiled unexpectedly.

I had no idea that Vina-Lou would be able to hear such words.

"Vina-Lou, that and one more thing, it was important. The most important thing is the desire to feed you delicious food. I think Raina-Lou and Sheila-Lou, and Limi-Lou and Tour-Din are twice as strong."

"... you're not chilling me, are you...?

"Of course," I answered.

Still, if there is a desire, after all, to work hard for a particular individual, wouldn't that be a great force?

With that thought renewed, I decided to get into cooking work with Vina-Lou.

The time will already be less than four moments. The time left is about two and a half hours. When it comes to spending an hour of the last on baking, it may take a little pacing. I was going to move to another house after this and offer three menus altogether.

"Oh, speaking of which, where's the vessel I left it yesterday?

"Yes. It's in the pantry. Keep it outside, because it was going to be destroyed by some bounce."

I pre-purchased a vessel that could withstand the high temperatures in the stone kiln. Ask Jan to buy such castle equipment quickly.

"Within the moment, I think I'll carry it over here. I-fa, I'm sorry, but can you help me?

"Uhm."

So I moved to the pantry with Ai-Fa.

A giant crate is layered in bunks. It is a painstaking mass for me to carry alone. To this, Ai-Fa had also rounded her eyes.

"Is this everything, a vessel?

"Yeah. That's how many people I needed to get over a hundred people to eat at least a little. The contents are six large plates. It's packed with something like straw to keep it from breaking, so it's this big."

"Hmm. One box contains only three plates"

While stating so, Ai-Fa lifted the crate a bit.

"I see. It's hard to hold, but not a lot of weight"

"Uh, i-fa, if I could, we both wanted to work together to take it... because I'm going to drop it on my own."

"Then I'll come and go twice."

"Yeah. Don't let that happen"

Feeling quite lonely there, I left the pantry with my bare hands.

In front of it, a giant figure stands without sound.

He came out after me with a crate, and I-Fa said, "Hmm?" He gave a whispering voice.

"Now Giza-Lou? What are you doing in a place like this?

"Fold in, I need to talk to you, it's I-Fa."

Giza-Lou looked down at us with the usual gleaming look.

but this one can't get inside more than Dalm-Lou. It is difficult to read emotions because it is an eyesore that makes you smile even when you are normal.

"Earlier, Darum-Lou was going to challenge me to battle. But since Giza-Lou is a brave man compared to his last power, you can't even imitate him like that, can you?

"Oh, you're right. That's why I want you to try. Will you please listen to this wish?

Ai-Fa remained silent and grated the crate at his feet.

In this way, the more sharp the gaze, the more Jiza-Lu.

"Why? Until then, I don't know what it's like to wish for a quick battle with me"

"There are different reasons. But to sum it up briefly, I wonder if that means I want to interact with you while I can."

Um, no breath-taking force has dissipated. Ziza-Lou had stated that only mildly.

"You have the power to even do things with Dan-Rutim. I'm not sure I can beat you. Then I wanted to compare my powers from the front, at least while you were healthy."

"... is that just purely a word from the desire to compare powers?

To the words of Ai-Fa, Giza-Lou tilted his neck only slightly.

"If you're just thinking about your pride, then there's no other way to say it's different. I'm thinking about the pride of the Lew family."

"... the pride of the Lew family?

"Oh. Depending on the weirdness of the combination, you may win through to the end. For example, if parents Donda and Dan-Rutim were to do it at an early stage, they would be quite exhausted there. If I interact with you in that state, even Parent Donda can be defeated. That's my concern."

"... I see"

"The addition of the hunter of the family of the extra to the harvest festival was originally a departure from the forestside lesson. And yet, if the hunter of the leeway becomes the bravest... even though losing would hurt the pride of the Lew family, not to say goodbye. I thought it was time for me to do what I wanted in the woods, but I decided to do what I wanted first."

"Okay. Giza-Lou's thoughts seem right to me too. So if you feel like Giza-Lou, I'll let Giza-Lou try."

Ai-Fa replied quietly.

Giza-Lou nods small, with the same expression.

"I would be very grateful if you could say that. Of course, it is unacceptable for you to lose your hand in comparison to your power, so you should not worry, but you should squeeze all your power."

"Uhm. That's what the woods will think.... Can you wait a little while until I finish carrying these crates?

"Oh. I just finished my second battle too, so I don't need to rush anything. Let's wait beside the house."

That's how Giza-Lou walked away with his body without making him feel any signs.

Once again, I look at Ey-Fa holding a crate, and I look at him unexpectedly.

"Oh, hey, Ai-Fa, are you okay?

"What? Ziza-Lou's words would have been legitimate"

"That may be true... there's something about Ziza-Lou that I can't read inside..."

"You think Giza-Lou's trying to hurt me? If you imitate that, Ziza-Lou will be a loser. It's a big contradiction to hurt someone compared to the power of the forest."

With a heavy crate in his arms, Ai-Fa shrugged his shoulders.

"Besides, Ziza-Lou, who weighs so heavily on forestside learning, has never broken it himself. It's never forgiven to deliberately hurt someone in comparison to the power of the forest."

"Yeah, I'm not so suspicious, either."

I was also taking a long time to think that I was an irreplaceable compatriot of Ziza-Lou. But there's still no certainty as to whether they think the same thing is happening over there.

As a folk by the woods, I think Giza-Lou is a very fine person. Especially at a harmonious dinner party with the Earl of Saturas, I was to hold those thoughts strongly. Giza-Lou would be able to lead his compatriots splendidly as a heir to Donda-Lou, I suppose.

But again, it was different from that and this.

I know very well, painfully, that I want to stop Ey-Fa from being the bravest of all. Because I know very well, my anxiety follows me.

(If you ask me, Giza-Lou is right. Dan-Lutim something is obvious, and Donda-Lou is silently accepting the participation of Ai-Fa... but if Ai-Fa wins there, what happens to the pride of Lu's clan?

I must have had a lot of anxiety.

Having finished carrying all the crates, Ai-Fa, with a terribly stern face, has poked a tiny poke at my chest.

"Don't guide me. Everything will be as the forest thinks."

"Yeah.... good luck, Ai-Fa. Be careful."

"Trust me. And Giza-Lou, too. You do your job well."

Thus, Ai-Fa also walked away again.

I manage to screw up my inner misery and get to work.

After a while, Barsha, dressed in the ladies' outfits, came to Kamadu's cabin and told me about the current state of the war.

"Donda-Lou and Dan-Lutim have finally won by three. So now you're like Gazran-Rutim and Ji-Mayam."

"Is Ai-Fa and Ziza-Lou going to be?

"Yeah. You saw me lined up behind it. I didn't think I'd be challenging Ziza-Lou."

"... Barsha, if you're going back to the square again, will you tell me the results of the i-fa's as well?

"Oh, I hope so. Either way, you can't miss that fight!

And Barsha leaves Kamado's cabin in a hurry. Being a hunter himself and living in a rough world, Barsha seemed to enjoy this power comparison wholeheartedly.

(Oh, I make it, you don't like rough stuff)

Vina-Lou peered into her face from the side as she moved the finished ingredients to the vessel.

"Hey, what's up...? If you're worried about i-fa, you should go see how it goes......?

"No, I'm feeling a little late for work, so I'll stop. If you can't cook in time, it's hard."

"Phew...? Well, I don't have to worry about getting hurt compared to the power of the hunter, so I can't think of that much..."

Still, Ai-Fa was once set to go down the Dalm-Lou with some absurd moves that could have injured him. A hunter is a sturdy hunter, and he's going to have a rather unrelenting battle.

(Besides, Ziza-Lou is the last winner. Normally, it would mean he is second only to Donda-Lou and Dan-Lutim in strength. I can't even imagine which one is stronger than i-fa)

Speaking of which, it also seemed that Ai-Fa had never spoken very clearly about the power of Ziza-Lou. When Giza-Lou and Melfried felt that they were one another, they seemed to think that at least they would never lose, but since then they had become unclear.

(If I lost, I would have lost. But I guess there are aspects to losing would fit in circles better. But anyway, don't just get hurt, i-fa)

Feeling like praying, I got to work.

Therefore, when I was about to move to the next house, I was to bowl with Barsha, who had returned to Kamado's cabin.

"Oh, Asta! It just didn't work out! Ziza-Lou's hurt!

"Huh!? Giza-Lou, not Ai-Fa!?

"Oh. Giza-Lou went around back and tried to grab me by the eye-fa, didn't he? When I turned my arm to shake it off, my elbow hit me in the head. Looks like a lot of blood was spraying."

I got stunned.

Then we rush to the square.

The square was noisy.

Everyone speaks up on purpose.

There, Donda-Lou's roaring voice echoed.

"Don't be dramatic! The wounds on Giza, the eldest brother of the main house, were not like life-threatening! I can hardly continue to compare my powers, but by sundown I will be able to look healthy!

People calm down like they hit water.

In that, Donda-Lou's voice echoed again.

"Also, it didn't look like Ey-Fa in Fa's house intentionally hurt Ziza! Therefore, I will not be held guilty, but I will ask you to refrain from comparing your powers after this! Rest your body until the feast begins!

Some percent of the people seemed to breathe relief.

Of course I was one of them.

Then I tried to turn my foot further into the center of the square, and Ai-Fa came out of the hedge.

"Ai-fa, never mind"

"Sometimes this happens."

"Let's have some fun together at night."

The people of Luu's blood were speaking to me that way.

While I nod back to you, Ai-Fa comes straight at me.

"Ai-Fa, are you okay?

Running over from me too and speaking out like that, Ai-Fa nodded "um" with a tough face.

"I didn't expect it to end up like this. I'm ashamed of my breadth."

Seeing, Ai-Fa was sweaty and had golden-brown foreheads strained on her forehead and cheeks. It was an unfortunate accident after all the fighting.

"I don't have a choice. I guess my elbow just happened to hit my head, huh?

"Even so, I'm the one who was a detour. This wouldn't have happened if I hadn't been immature"

Eye-Fa's eyes seemed to have a mindless flame swirling.

There is a man approaching.

Redhead like fire, yellow eyes, yellow-brown skin instead of brown, a little boy - a guest of the Lew family, Zida.

"That was a shameful battle. If that's the case, I wanted to see where wins and loses can be made in the arrangement."

Ai-Fa looks back at you loosely.

It has a beastly, impatient atmosphere.

"It's you.... if you want to blame me for my immaturity, do as you please"

"If you're immature, I'm such a chick. You and Ziza-Lou are not only the Lu family, but also the power of fingerprinting around these woods."

Zida put her arms together and twisted Ai-Fa's face so that it would creep from the bottom.

"Besides, you don't seem to have to blame yourself either. Well, I can't say for sure."

"What? What are you talking about?

"It seemed to me that Giza-Lou didn't dare put your arm on. You were right next to me around the end."

Ai-Fa frowned in a hurry.

"Are you going to say that Giza-Lou dared to hurt me in order to defeat me? Compared to the power of a proud harvest festival, such imitation should not be allowed?

"I'm just saying it looked like that to me if I wasn't allowed to be forgiven. Well, if it's a mistake, that's fine."

"Wait. You're not allowed to tarnish Ziza-Lou's pride in such uncertain terms, are you?

"Then ask him in person. The truth is known only to the people of Ziza-Lou."

When Zida turned to her face, she left herself swamped in the hedge.

Ai-Fa is dropping that back off with her eyes like fire.

Whatever - Compared to the force, it is still less of a qualifier.

It seemed like it would take a while for us to exchange words with Ziza-Lou.
