After bidding farewell to the folks at Rutim's main house, me and I-Fa decided to head over to the bride and groom's waiting room.
Everyone's greetings seem to be more or less over, and the number of people coming and going to Yagura is much less. In the rug in front of us, Grandma Ziva and Rimi-Lou were eating, so we greeted you and then put our feet on the wooden stairs.
"Congratulations today, Dalm-Lou, Sheila-Lou"
Darum-Lou only said "Oh".
Sheila-Lou smiles at me, "Thank you," he says.
I just saw that happy smile and I almost cried again.
But try to restrain yourself and give me back my sincere smile.
"I'm really happy about today's wedding, like it's about my own house. Please build a happy family, Darum-Lou, Sheila-Lou"
Darum-Lou still only said "oh".
And then, as I recall, he's gonna make fun of my face.
I wondered what was wrong, and I waited for Darum-Lou's words, but his mouth remained closed.
"I = fa, too, thank you. I am truly delighted to be able to invite Ai-Fa and Asta this evening"
When Sheila-Lou told him so, Ai-Fa lowered his mouth like he could barely see.
"Sheila-Lou, you and I have never spoken so much - but I am truly delighted that you are able to give us a happy wedding"
"Thank you. Sure, I don't think you've had many opportunities to face each other, but you haven't had many opportunities to exchange words."
"Mm-hmm. But I've been worried about you since the day Gazran-Rutim and the others gave the wedding. If I were a man, women like Sheila-Lou would always want to be my daughter-in-law."
"Well," Sheila-Lou smiled.
I don't really look like I'm getting it, so I'll take a look at my mouth from the side.
"That's a true story. I've heard that word from Ai-Fa many times."
"I would say too many times. At most, it should be two or three times."
"I guess a couple of times would be enough. Ai-fa would never have acclaimed the other women that way. And then, at best, about Ama Min-Rutim?
"Well," Sheila-Lou snapped again.
But this time, he's opening his eyes to surprise.
"I = fa really do that......? I can't imagine."
"But it's the truth. Because falsehood is a sin, I will not lie."
Sheila-Lou put her arms together in front of her chest and got depressed.
"I'm sorry...... it's going to spill a little tears"
"If Sheila-Lou cries, I'll definitely be followed and crying, too. Congratulations on your seats, so let's try to get it over with."
Just kidding. When I said it, Sheila-Lou smiled "yes," too.
After looking at it satisfactorily, Ai-Fa turns his eyes to Dalm-Lou.
"Darm-Lu, there have been small causes with you, but it is also the aftermath of the disaster caused by the Sung family, in my opinion. I am also truly delighted that you, one of Luu's main houses, have celebrated this day."
"... what, your tongue seems to spin a lot today, it's i-fa"
On the top of the Buddha, Darum-Lou responded accordingly.
Ai-fa is staring straight back at that figure.
"I just wanted to tell you the truth about me. I want you to receive my blessing."
Ai-Fa took his big fangs out of his nostalgia and piled them up in a grass cage placed between the bride and groom.
I'm going to build up the biggest horn I've ever received from Ai-Fa on the side.
I guess it's after all the blood tribes have already given their blessings. The diagram of more than a hundred fangs and horns stacked in the grass cage was spectacular.
"Nevertheless, it's hard not to speak of cooking. You haven't eaten anything since noon, have you?
"Yes, but my chest is jammed, so the food may not go through my throat very well.... Still, I'm not looking forward to Rayna-Lew's blessed dishes"
"Is that it?" I thought, looking back at Dalm-Lou.
Then Darum-Lou was staring at me again with a nasty eye.
(Oh, you hadn't told Sheila-Lou yet that I cooked the Blessing dish, too. So you were trying to make sure I didn't say anything unnecessary)
I tried to sneak up on Sheila-Lou so she wouldn't notice.
Darum-Lou is breathing with his nose.
"See you soon. Once you have fulfilled your marriage ritual, let me greet you again"
"Yes, thank you"
That's how I and I-Fa decided to quit before the two of us.
When I can get down the stairs, Rimi-Lou, who was waiting for me, jumps at Ai-Fa.
Thanks to the banquet costume, Limi-Luu's loviness is also doubled. The red Mizola flower ornament adorned with its fluffy hair was still vibrant today.
"Welcome back! I = fa and Asta too, let's have some cooking together over here!
"Oh, I'm sorry. Hopefully, you want to go all the way around. After that, could you let me talk slowly?
"Oh well. Yeah, okay! Rimi's with the Ziva lady, so definitely come back, okay?
Unfortunately, he hugged Ai-Fa's torso and then Limi-Lu returned to Grandma Ziba.
I look back at Ai-Fa all the time as I walk towards the nearest Kamado.
"Sorry, did I-Fa want to be with the Limi-Lu guys? If you like, we can rendezvous now or that way -"
"Don't turn your mind unnecessarily. Sleep with the Limi-Lew tonight anyway."
"Oh well. All right, let's just go around. Before the ritual begins, I want to see it all."
We got behind the people surrounding Kamado.
Then, the person who had been in the past turned around and turned to us.
"Oh, Ai-Fa on Asta?... Wow, you look stunningly dressed, it's EY-FA!
I had a golden brown head so I could have expected half of it, but that was Lau-Ray.
Its water-colored eyes test the look of serious and eye-fa from top to bottom.
"Hmm, I knew you were beautiful! It is truly an incredible story that so many beautiful women have come to live as hunters!
"... you're unwilling to weigh the woodland lesson you make, Rau-Ray."
Ai-Fa, who has been a lot immune to people's praise, was also supposed to whisk a lot of eyebrows.
But Rau-Ray is still staring at Ai-Fa without looking dusty.
"But even at Gazran-Rutim's wedding, he was wearing a banquet costume? At that time, I only saw it from afar. Don't let me still impress you if I see you this close."
"So it is to the woodland lesson to praise the ladies for their appearance -"
"But! Yamil and I haven't lost to you! If you think it's a lie, compare it!
And Rau-Ray grabbed the arms of the women who stood instead and turned this way.
I was wondering if that was the case for a moment, but it was Yamil-Ray.
Yamil-Ray was also a feast costume.
Originally she had more ornaments, but when it was also a banquet costume, things changed again. Besides, I was supposed to be the first to see Yamil-Ray's banquet costume.
Like Ey-Fa and the rest of the women, he once again wraps around balls and insect colored vales and shawls on his chest and hips. Originally Yamil-Ray, whose face and style are comparable to Vina-Lou's, its beauty certainly deserved surprise.
Yamil Ray glanced at me and Ai-Fa with the slice chief's eyes, as he turned toward Rau-Ray, glued up to the back of that hand grabbing his own arm.
"Doesn't it hurt! What are you doing, Yamir?
"Touching a woman who's not even her partner would go against her learning to a greater extent than complimenting her on her appearance, wouldn't it? I want you to wear a little something, just like I said."
"I'm from the same Ray family, so I don't have to stick around?
"Whatever you've lived with since you were a child, you should draw a line with someone you're not, right?
The relationship between these two names seemed the same.
Rau-Ray compares Yamil-Ray and Ai-Fa as he rubs the back of his hand.
"Fair enough. Anyway, I knew it was a brilliant thing! Two people with no similarities at all, but aren't each exceptionally beautiful! Just looking at it like this makes me happy. Hey, it's Asta."
"Hmm, I hope you don't ask me for my consent there."
"Why? No matter how Asta snores, you can't deny the beauty of Yamil?
"That's why I don't feel like breaking my teachings with Rau-Ray."
Rau-Ray stands alongside Dan-Rutim in innocence and luxury, but when things are made fun of by the opposite sex, the story is different. No matter how innocent Dan-Rutim is, he is a magnificent man, and yet he has no use of color for the opposite sex.
Rau-Ray was my generation and that of Ai-Fa, and he was still unmarried. Furthermore, it is very noisy when this happens because I find myself attracted to Ai-Fa and Yamir-Ray as heterosexuals, respectively.
"Enough is enough. We're hungry. There's no hippo on you."
"Don't say things that don't hold up. Let's fill our bellies together."
Rau-Ray is laughing with his innocent face. The tone is exhilarating, but the appearance is a neutral beauty. So he's also a hunter enough to be chosen by eight brave men, so if the opponent isn't Ai-Fa or Yamil-Ray, he won't usually be refused dowry talk.
Either way, we were to rearrange the line and receive the dishes that were served on the spot.
What was handed out here was a juice dish. It seems to be a tau oil base but the depth of the stock seemed great.
"Oh, that's delicious. This must be taking stock from both Gibba and Kimmus' bone gallows."
"Uhm, you can't even complain! I never bought a Kimmus bone gala or anything, but maybe I should buy this at the Ray's."
"Bone galas aren't for sale, so they're letting me pick up what I don't need anymore at the inn. If you ask the Lew family, they'll split it up."
After stating it like that, I was supposed to lean my neck.
"But isn't the Lew family the only one learning how to handle bone gallows? Neither is Yamil-Ray learning properly, is he?
"Yeah," Yamil-Ray responded, "Why?," he hoisted his brow.
"Isn't Yamir going to Luu's settlement like every day! And yet why haven't you learned how to handle it?
"It's going to take a while to learn how to handle bone gallows. It'll take half a day to put it into practice, so the afternoon study group isn't enough time."
Yamil-Ray was shrugging his shoulder like a pain in the ass, so I decided to answer instead.
Rau-Ray keeps a wooden plate in his arms and says, "Uhm."
"But is this how the women of the Lou family got to wear the intent? How did you learn that?
"It's Michelle and Mime, not me, who's familiar with the treatment of bone galas. Rayna-Lew and the others were supposed to visit Michelle's house in the morning and learn about it. When I was off work at the stall, I had to go through it a few times."
"Then Yamir will also be in Luu's settlement in the morning... hmm, but then you'll have less and less time to face me..."
"I don't care."
"I'm sure you won't mind! It won't be long before the hunter resumes his work, so you and I will only be able to see each other once the sun sets early in the morning, okay?
"... I don't care"
Rau-Ray let his lips crouch and looked back at me.
"With all this time, this guy still doesn't try to break this attitude! Anyway, don't you think it's a good time to let my feelings down, Asta?
"Duh, I don't know. That's a hard question to answer."
"Even though it's a wedding feast because of it, this guy doesn't even look like he's standing up at all! You think it's time to think about your wedding, Yamir?
"... weren't you the one holding back my wedding, parent?
"Can you agree to take son-in-law from other family members, etc! How can anyone and he make me exist!
"That's not what I'm talking about."
Rau-Ray, the head of the main family, should strictly choose who he wants to be his daughter-in-law - a voice that seems strong in Ray's house. Rau-Ray, the head of the main house, should have the strongest say in it, but since he is still a young man there after all, he cannot forcefully twist the opinions of the people of the division.
Besides, Rau-Ray is only part of the run, so tightening the reins in that way is probably also a necessary measure.
"But if both me and you want a wedding, won't the people around you be able to disagree? Now that I'm the only one talking about it, they won't even care!
"Yeah, I'm sure you do"
"Then wouldn't it be solved if you wanted a wedding!
"Why should I want a wedding with you?"
"Because I'm a fine hunter and I want to be your companion"
Rau-Ray said so freshly, distracting his chest from all the ehem.
Yamil-Ray has a deep sigh.
"I'm sorry, but I don't feel like wanting it while the people around me are against it."
"Why!? I don't suppose there are other men who like it, either?
"Ray, alongside Rutim, is a family of Lew's blood with power? The position of the head of the household's companion, for example, should not be as ready to live and hope."
"No, but-"
"And I'm not sure I'd be happy to welcome someone as obnoxious as you."
Now Rau-Ray was to sigh.
And he looks at me again like a hound who's featured a meal.
"This guy is always like this. What the hell am I supposed to do?
"I think we should talk to someone who's more, more reliable. I'm not going to be able to help."
"But isn't Asta just as forceful as Yamir, hand-faced as he seems to be?"
"What a way to say it!
Ai-Fa gets outraged and sticks the tip of the wooden spoon at Lau-Ray.
For anger or shame, those cheeks were slightly red.
"And anyway, congratulations on your seat. Rau-Ray's having a good time."
"It's a wedding feast, which is why I get an extra head start on stories like that. That Darum-Lou is finally going to give you a wedding."
"Darm-Lu, 'cause you're almost twenty, aren't you? Rau-Ray's only eighteen, so there's no rush."
That was the best I could say.
But Rau-Ray is still grumbling his lips.
"I'm 18, but Yamir's almost 22. I don't know why I should give you a wedding."
"It's an extra favor," Yamil-Ray looked scared.
Wouldn't Rau-Ray be losing money in places like this? If I wear something called Delicacy just a little bit more, I don't feel like I can have such an attractive personality.
"Well, I'll see you later. We'll circle the square."
After taunting the excellent juice dish, we decided to say goodbye to Lau-Ray and Yamil-Ray and disperse.
"Ugh, I'm surprised. It's usual for Raw-Ray to pin it on Yamil-Ray, but isn't it unusual to say that he wants to be clearly his daughter-in-law that way?
"... I guess that, as I said myself, feels up to the wedding feast"
As he walked through the crowd, Ai-Fa abandoned him that way.
When we arrived there, a couple of men and women were waiting for us.
Whoever it is, it is Schmiral and Vina-Lou.
"Ah... this is different..."
Vina-Lou blushes with a wooden dish with something that looks delicious on it.
"Uh, what's the difference?
"Until just now, Ur Ray-Lilyn was with us... but he left us because he wanted to see how the toddler he was keeping..."
Still, I didn't even think it was a situation that required an excuse.
But pursuing it poorly was going to smother Vina-Lou, so I just answered, "Did you?"
"Anyway, that's a great feast. Do you enjoy Schmiral too?
"Yes, I am impressed by the Lew family, the wedding feast, this is my first time"
Although Schmiral had participated in the wedding of his family, the size of the feast should be different from that of a feast to which only some blood clans are invited.
Similar to Vina-Lou, Schmiral had his eyes narrowed as he felt very much.
Schmiral hopes to be wedded to Vina-Lou.
And if it's the wedding of Vina-Lou, the eldest sister of the main house, I'm sure the feast will take place in this Lou family square.
Imagining Shmiral and Vina-Lou sitting around in their wedding costumes on a yara, my chest was getting hot to me.
"... Ai-Fa, you're a banquet costume"
And, Schmiral's black eyes look at Ai-Fa.
Ai-Fa looked back at it with only one eye open.
"As you can see, are you complaining about something? It's Shmiral at Lilyn's house."
"No. Beautiful, I thought. Of course, to me, Vina-Lou, more beautiful, I suppose."
Vina-Lou was going to get bored all over his body while turning bright red from his neck muscle to the top of his chest instead of his face.
"Oh, oh, what are you running at...? Praising the women all the more would be against the woodland mastery......?
"Oh...... it was false, contraindicated, so embarrassing, revealing, true, told. Forestside code, it's difficult."
…………
Vina-Lou was stunned and was likely to nod on the spot even now.
After I calmly compare the two of them, Ai-Fa turns to me.
"Asta, I'm starving."
"Oh, I was. I was. I was. Um, what's being handed out here?
"It's giva meat, fried food. It's delicious."
As Schmiral put it, there was fried carpet and giva meat. They're not making it, they're finishing the dishes on the spot.
And it wasn't "giva cutlets," it was "fried giva."
It is a bit of a rare dish served at the Lew family, where only melted eggs and fuwano powder are covered in thinner meat than "Giva Cuttle" for quick frying and grilling.
"Ah, to Asta, Ey-fa! Eat it if you like!
"Hey Lara-Luu. It's a big part of getting fried and grilled."
"Heh heh! Because I can make it without my sister Raina anymore!
Proudly speaking, Lara-Luu dips the thin meat in Giva's lard.
And on the spot, raw vegetable salad, dominated by chopped tinos, was also prepared like a mountain.
"That's amazing. But it's not" giva cutlets, "it's fried grilled."
"Yeah. It's gonna take a while to make a stupid one, right? But if it was him, we could make it on the spot and eat it right away! Speaking of which, Asta was selling this guy in the street, too, right?
"Yeah. If it did freshly fry, it would be unbeatable delicious to put 'giva cutlets' in the making"
When it's a feast you're not talking about, it's exciting because this happens. This was definitely a contribution that we would like to refer to at our harvest festival, etc.
"Yes, go away. Don't burn me!
"Yeah, thanks"
When the freshly fried giva meat was scratched, the taste spread through my mouth.
Moreover, eggs and fuwano clothes are mixed with even grated gamma cheese. The melted cheese also produces intense flavors and distinctive textures, making it delicious.
"Oh, it's delicious.... Shouldn't Schmiral also like Gamma's cheese?
"Yes. My old home, I remember"
After answering that way, Schmiral quietly looked back at Vina-Lou.
"But right now, there's something more important than my old home town."
"... so I'm sorry if I don't whip your extra mouth one way or the other...?
"Was it extra? Necessary, thought, spoken. I'm ashamed, I'm patient"
"... don't say anything extra until you put up with the embarrassment..."
Words are on the back. Schmiral is the deposition itself, and until that minute Vina-Lou is bored with shame.
When I was secretly biting off my sense of happiness, I-Fa came softly to my mouth.
"Now you don't even know which one wants the wedding. The odd ones who make it."
"Yeah, but you look great."
We decided to leave the scene early, before Vina-Lou did his best.
Somehow, it is a sign that Yakura's fungus is about to move. Even then, we only had three dishes to speak of.
"Well, next time, it's over there."
And as we tried to get closer to the new hedge, the shadows, large and small, stood in front of it.
To that unexpected combination, I said, "Is that it?" and I round my eyes.
"Hey Dim-Rutim. … and was Ji-Mayam with you?"
Regardless of the former, the latter was someone I didn't really interact with either.
He is Ji-Mayam, the longest of the Lew blood family. Not only was he long, but his rocky muscles covered his entire body and, with the exception of Mida-Lou, he was the most gigantic hunter I had ever known.
After all, Dim-Rutim is only a thirteen-year-old apprentice hunter. He has a smaller, more laid-back body than I do, and although his expression is brave, his face is childish. He and I were on an expedition together to the town of Doubagh.
Those two are standing in front of us with tough faces together. What a disturbing atmosphere.
"Ay-fa in Fa's house, and it's Asta. I need to talk to you guys."
"Uhm. What would that be?
Ji-Mayam burned his eyes far above the sky when Ai-Fa inquired without hesitation.
"I heard that you will not be joining Luu's blood harvest festival in the future. I heard that's to avoid the power comparison of the hunter... is that the truth?
"Mm-hmm. Not a blood family. Think it's not right for me to join forces over and over again.... Ji-Mayam wanted to compare his powers again, but he couldn't respond to them, and I'm sorry too"
Ji-Mayam has twice challenged and defeated Ai-Fa.
Ji-Mayam frowned so harshly.
"Then again, it was true. How much did you wish I could join you in the harvest festival of the Lew family?"
"Hmm? What's that -?"
"I'm really, really sorry. I just wanted to compare the power of this hunter to the power of this man like you."
As Ji-Mayam nodded at me, I too was to have a tempting look on my face.
Then this time, Dim-Rutim advances in the face he comes up with.
"And I hear that was a measure for some immature people like me, who don't feel comfortable with the extra family person winning out.... so I'm sorry too"
"What are you talking about? There's nothing you can do to keep your head down, okay?
"But I heard that you played nearly five minutes with Dan-Rutim, and I slapped a lot of haters. If someone as narrow as me just stopped you guys from joining the harvest festival... after all, that's on me"
"No, it's bad that I stubbornly hoped to compare forces in the first place. So I'm responsible."
"No, I'm better than Ji-Mayam -"
"Wait a minute. You're looking at something wrong. It wasn't just Ji-Mayam who wanted me to join the power comparison, and there must have been others in Dim-Rutim who didn't feel comfortable with me winning. All of you have to say that."
"But it doesn't make a difference that I have a lot of responsibility"
"Neither do I. You can't keep your head down."
Ai-Fa grabbed his mouth and compared the two appearances.
Then start talking again with a calm voice.
"Okay. But I was very pleased with Ji-Mayam's mood for anticipating me as a powerful hunter, and I also know exactly how Dim-Rutim feels about not wanting to be made a big face by anyone else. On top of that, I decided that it was right for the harvest festival to be celebrated exclusively by the bloodline. I don't think anyone can bow their head about it."
"No, but-"
"But not. Me and you guys are friends, even if we're not blood. I don't have to join the harvest festival to loosen that bond, and I'm glad you took care of us that way."
Although it was the smile that hadn't floated, Ai-Fa had a very serene face.
"Especially since, Dim-Rutim, I thought you hated me more."
"There's no such thing as hating me. I just didn't see the battle between Ai-Fa and Dan-Rutim with these eyes... so I couldn't believe that Ai-Fa was such a hunter"
Ai-Fa and Dan-Rutim fought each other at a smaller harvest festival where more than 70% of their families could be collected, when Dim-Rutim, who was not yet a hunter, did not participate.
"But at the harvest festival before this, I thought of the power of Ai-Fa. If it is a power that can be done in five minutes with Giza-Lou that day, I guess it is still no less powerful than Dan-Lutim"
"But I am defeated by both Dan-Lutim and Ziza-Lou. The pride of the Lew family has not been hurt."
"No, it's weirder to feel that that hurt your pride! I've been an illogical immature until now."
With all due respect, Dim-Rutim bit his lip.
I = fa, slowly shake his neck to the side.
"You're only thirteen, aren't you, Dim-Rutim? When I was thirteen, I would have been immaturer than you. A hunter, by the age of fifteen, will have enough power in one person."
"But..."
"If you are a hunter in public, you may not be dissatisfied, assuming how much I have won in comparison to the power of the Lew family. I don't think you'll be dissatisfied with it in the future either.... but there will also be new hunters in Luu's blood after another. There is a danger that those young hunters will learn to be as angry as you once were. So I decided to change my behavior. That and this, with the heart of wanting to make the right bond with Lew's blood."
Ey-Fa said so, with certain majesty in the quiet as well.
"Again, say. Even without joining the harvest festival, the bond between Luu and Fa will not break. And I am delighted to have been able to bond with you, not only with Lou, but also with his family. So why don't you keep your head down and keep bonding as a friend? As a parent of Fa, I want it"
Dim-Rutim dropped his shoulder disappointingly, then looked at Ai-Fa with a slightly more tense face.
"Ai-Fa, you were such a fine person. It's going to look a lot better than when I went out to town called Doug."
"Right. I'm 18 years old, too. Being immature is an unforgivable year."
"... I also think it's a great arrangement for me to be able to throw a big man like Ji-Mayam with a small body like you. I wish I could be a good hunter like you."
"Hey, don't send me out there to pick me up."
Saying in a grumpy manner, Ji-Mayam put his head on disappointment.
Somehow, it feels like we're both back to normal. Originally, it was both fun and confident.
"I see what you're saying. Overlapping words any longer would just make it extra hassle. I've been impressed by your measurements, too, Ai-Fa."
"Right. If you know what I mean, it's more than that."
"Uhm.... but don't leave your opponents defeated twice as they are. Someday I'll let you try something different from the Harvest Festival."
"When you have the spare time, let's deal with them. You're not a hunter."
"Hmm! First of all, let's be Luu's blood, eight brave men! I challenge you after that!
Ji-Mayam flicked the giant and walked away across the crowd.
Dim-Rutim stares at Ai-Fa with a look that was complicated by confrontational and visionary ambitions.
"It's only a few years away that I can challenge you. Don't let me decay into the woods before then, Ai-Fa."
"Mm-hmm. You too."
Dim-Rutim nodded and walked away in a different direction from Ji-Mayam.
Looking at it, Ai-Fa breathes much more.
"Oh, we've talked for so long, we're tired. I don't care if they're like that at a wedding banquet."
"I guess that's all we felt responsible for what we did. So, thank God."
"Um," Ai-Fa nodded.
At that time, another shadow approached from Dim-Rutim's departing direction.
"Asta, I'm finally here to see you. The ritual will begin soon, so prepare your dishes."
It was Raina-Lou in a banquet costume.
While talking to the Dim-Rutims, the time had finally come.
"Yeah, I get it. Well, I'll be there in a minute, Ai-Fa."
"Hmm. I'll be waiting for you under the Ziva women."
"Copy that!" I rushed out.
Whether you like it or not, your heart will rattle. Finally, Sheila-Lou and Dalm-Lou are officially bound. Spilling tears later, I had to do my honorable big job first.
