535 Ninth of the Green Moon ① - Again in Castle Town

The next day, the 9th of the green moon.

Me and I-Fa were visiting the settlement of Lou about a little past the six moments up there.

There are so many people in the square of the settlement. They are the same people who aspire to the castle town as we do, and the Lew family who try to drop it off.

As we packed our bags at the entrance to the settlement and stepped into the square with Ai-Fa, Raina-Lou and Limi-Lou rushed closer.

"I've been waiting for you, Asta to Ai-Fa. Father Donda said he wanted us to wait because we're leaving in a while."

"Yeah, okay. Thank you, Raina-Lou."

Rayna-Lew looked very worried and compared us.

The pretty sister also hugs Ai-Fa's body all the time with a look that she never thought of.

"You'll definitely be back safe, Ai-Fa, Asta! Even if the noblemen mean it to you, you can't get mad at me, can you?

"I know. Don't worry, we'll wait."

Rin's expression remained unbroken, softening only to his eyes, and Ai-Fa stroked Rimi-Lou's reddish hair.

Raina-Lou and Rimi-Lou are also face-to-face with the nobles of the King's capital last night. So I guess I was supposed to get a stronger sense of anxiety than the others.

Instead of Zidula's connected luggage, four guests of the Lou family - Barsha, Zida, Michele, and Mime - are closing in and exchanging words. In addition, the ladies of the division and the hunters of the early rise also gathered around it to see that they were speaking up to something.

And a short distance from that, I could see Schmiral and Vina-Lou talking quietly.

I'll keep an eye on Ai-Fa and then I'll get closer to you.

Before I was questioned by the nobles of the King's capital, I had a few things to check with Schmiral.

"Sorry to bother you, Vina-Lou to Schmiral. Just for a second, can I talk to you too?

They both look back at each other at the same time.

Schmiral, as well as Vina-Lou, had a surprisingly sober look.

However, the light of anxiety cannot be hidden from the pale eyes of that color.

"Actually, there was something I wanted to ask Schmiral. It's about..." People Without Stars. "

"" People Without Stars, "is it?"

Schmiral nodded quietly.

"I have doubts, I have heard, about the people of the King's capital, the identity of Asta. So, you wanted to know, you thought," People Without Stars. "

"Yeah, you're right. Is Schmiral familiar with People Without Stars?

"For more information, I don't know. I haven't learned the art of star reading. … just a fellow astrologer, talking, listening"

All the members of Similar's compatriot Silver Pot, Arishna, the guest of Genos, and Lilanos, the astrologer of Gamray's Seat - all the people involved in Sims' star reading - considered me a "people without stars".

In this world, if I wanted to know my identity correctly, it seemed like the only correct answer was there.

"What the hell is a 'people without stars'? In this world, besides me, do people exist with qualities like me?

"I don't know." People Without Stars, "because it's only a legacy. I, it was the truth, it existed, I didn't think."

"Really?... but Schmiral also knows a little bit about" The People Without Stars, "right?

"Yes. 'A people without stars', the fate of the world, a very changing being, I hear"

Schmiral quietly obeyed the words as he glanced at the sky, which had not yet starred.

"'People Without Stars', a different world than here, born, so the stars of this world, don't have, they say. stars, that is, human destiny, so no matter how good astrologers are, the fate of the 'people without stars', decipherable, incapable, said"

"Yes, that's how I hear it too"

"'People Without Stars', this world, when you are born, star charts, change dramatically. Starless nothingness, to run through the sky, to be affected by all stars. Therefore," the people without stars, "the times of existence, the world, move greatly, they say."

"Is that... like 'White Sage Misha'?

To my words, Schmiral opened his eyes gently.

"Asta," White Sage Misha, "you know what? It's very, very old, it's Sim's legacy."

"Yes, one of the travelers who visited Genos on Easter sang me that song."

"I see...... yes, it was' Misha the White Sage ',' People Without Stars', they say. I mean," Misha the White Sage, "because he showed up, I think, the legacy of" The People Without Stars, "it started."

Schmiral nodded, again, eyes in the sky.

"" The White Sage Misha, "the family of Rao, for saving, the kingdom of Sim, was born." White Sage Misha, "if it weren't for you, Sims, still the Seven Tribes, might have been in contention." The White Sage, Misha, "literally, the fate of the world, moved it."

"That's a huge story, isn't it? I don't think I have that kind of power."

"Yes, but I changed Asta's existence, different fates, a lot. For me, enough, great power, I think. Asta, if it weren't for you, Vina-Lou, working in the street, I wouldn't have, so I, my family by the woods, wishing, wouldn't have"

"I don't care about me anymore..."

Vina-Lou dyed her cheeks slightly red and pretended to slap Schmiral.

"Excuse me," said Schmiral, lowering his head wrapped in silver hair.

"Whatever, Asta's presence, irreplaceable, I think. Whether it's a" people without stars "or not, that fact, it doesn't change."

"Thank you, Schmiral. … So, do you think it would be effective to tell that story to the people of the King's Capital?

Schmiral often thought about it and then shook his head sideways, "No."

"Valid, I don't think. Rather, I think it will have a bad effect, a good chance of producing,"

"Really? Why is that?

"'People Without Stars,' only because it's Sims' heirloom." People Without Stars, "Selva, Jagal, Mahdra, born everywhere, I hear, but it's called" People Without Stars, "it's just Sims. People in the west, south, north, read the stars. Yes, I don't have them, so 'people without stars', understanding, difficult, I think."

"Oh, I see... I think the astrologer of the traveler was a people of the west, but star reading is a technique that only passes on to Sims"

"Yes. And Selva, the present king, the art of indulgence, vehemently abhorrent, listening. The present king, the throne, since gaining, the astrologer of the royal palace service, all banished, I hear. Then people under your command, behave the same way, I think."

"Was I? Thank you. That's what I wanted to know in advance."

I sincerely asked Schmiral to thank me.

"Then I'm going to refrain from bringing up the story of" The People Without Stars, "too.... and just one more thing, I need a favor from Schmiral."

"Yes, don't hesitate, go ahead"

"... in the words of some Sim, will you speak to me?

"* * * * * * *," Schmiral said, leaning down his little neck in disgust, pronouncing a language I don't understand.

I lay my hands on my chest and breathe.

"Oh, thank you. After all, I can't seem to hear Sim."

"... I see. Asta, you can understand, only the West word, right?"

With that said, Similar narrowed her eyes so that she could impress me.

"Asta, it's from, it's strange. I was very surprised to hear more about it, the first time I heard it."

The story of me coming from outside the continent has already been revealed at last year's stage. From there it seemed that Schmiral was to know even these parts.

Needless to say, I should have died in the original world.

Until then, they were rarely eliminated by the woods.

"Basically, people by the woods have little interest in my birth, do they? So it wasn't until after that that that I revealed it to the Donda-Lou people… and then again, I was never asked for details by anyone else."

"Yes. I, too, have very little to ask about my hometown. Forestside people, what matters is not the past, but the present."

But as for my origins, it had also been revealed to the people of the castle town at the end of the disturbances surrounding the Count Turan family, so it should have been fully eliminated even in today's interrogation.

At the time, I pleaded with Malstein to officially accredit the people of the West to live in a forest settlement. However, that plea was just unacceptable, and I still officially treat it as a "foreigner staying in a forest settlement".

"Well, as far as I'm concerned, I'll just have to repeat what I told you before... I'm worried about what the people of the Wang Capital think"

"Yes. Caution, need, I think"

"Oh, speaking of which, did Schmiral interact with the noble people of the King's capital, etc?

"No. The king's capital, Alglad, the castle town, is wide open, but for that matter, the royal palace, is tightly closed. It's hard to connect the people of the east, not just the merchants, the nobles of the Wang capital, the exchanges."

Then this is the first time for Schmiral to face the nobility of the King's capital as well.

It was a source of great concern to me as to what the people of the King's capital were looking at Schmiral, who had chosen to become a family by the woods until he abandoned his homeland and God.

"I guess both me and Schmiral can turn a blind eye. Let's find a way through this ordeal."

"Yes. I intend to do everything in my power to dream, fulfill"

Schmiral's dream is to give him a wedding with Vina-Lou.

When I thought that and saw Vina-Lou better, now I'm about to get slapped.

So, the lively signs come from the entrance to the square.

"You made me wait! I've been sleeping too long!

An extravagant laugh approaches us.

It was Dan-Rutim and Gazran-Rutim on Mim Char.

Instead of letting him pull the luggage, he appeared for two. Both are huge, so Totos' back seemed very cramped.

"Good luck. Are you two escorting me today?

When I asked, Dan-Rutim, who got down to the ground first, said, "No!" and laughed delightfully.

"I'm the only one who's coming with you! Gazlan is here to see the Astas off!

Gazran-Rutim, also down on the ground, comes straight at me.

There was also a gentle smile on its face, but there was a serious light in its eyes.

"I was told by Donda-Lou that I would not be allowed to enter the room today, except for the seven who would be interrogated. Asta, Schmiral, take care of yourself."

"Yes, I will do my best to get back safely"

Then, from beyond the hedge, a large figure appeared all the time.

"Are you finally here? Now you're all here."

It was chief Donda-Lou.

Instead, Giza-Lou and Rudd-Lou also follow.

"Now, get in the van. Dan-Rutim, you're Fa's car."

"Oh! Then I'll keep the reins!

Dan-Rutim looked happy and walked away to Gill's luggage car.

In the meantime, Rudd-Lou, approaching me, pokes me in the chest.

"Asta, I can't go with you today, but be careful."

"Yeah, thanks. Well, then, the escort..."

As I tilted my gaze, Giza-Lou looked back at his straw father.

Donda-Lou smiles like a beast on his tough face.

"It's me and Dan-Rutim who will accompany you. Of the seven called, up to four, including an apprentice, are hunters, so that would be enough for an escort."

"Do you, Donda-Lou, accompany yourself"

That was kind of an unexpected candidate.

Donda-Lou snarls his nose as he glitters his blue eyes.

"I'm the one who allowed guests to stay in Luu's settlement. If you're gonna complain about it, I'm gonna have to go.... Zida and Barsha, where are they?

The two called advanced before Donda-Lou.

Looking down at it, Donda-Lou says.

"During the interrogation, me and Dan-Rutim are holding back outside the door. When you need a knife, blow a grass whistle."

"Got it. I sincerely hope we don't end up like that."

Barsha heads on the top of the Buddha, Zida nodding silently.

After seeing it through, Donda-Lou looked back at his sons.

"I'll take care of the giva hunting. Encourage me to work until yesterday."

"Um, got it."

"Be careful not to distract your fathers."

I guess Donda-Lou thought we should weigh in on the giva hunting job only.

On top of that, while narrowing the number of escorts to a minimum, he thought that two of the strongest members of the Luu bloodline should accompany him.

I felt so tight about that decision.

"Okay, I'll go. Donda-Lou, just once again."

I said goodbye to the people who were there, and then I came back to Ai-Fa.

Donda-Lou and the Balshas get in Jidula's luggage and only Schmiral follows us here.

That's how when I turned my foot toward Dan-Rutim's waiting luggage, three men were waiting along the way.

It is Darum-Lu, and Sin-Luu, and Mida-Lu.

"I want Asta to come back safely...?

Mida-Lou is shaking her cheeks worryingly.

I felt so full, I nodded, "Yeah."

That's how Darm-Luu calls me "hey" to Ai-Fa while I greet Sin-Luu as well.

"Whatever happens, don't disturb your mind. If you lose me, I'll be glad to risk my family."

"Oh, it's awkward. I'm the one who brought Asta to the woods, so let's do our part."

With the hunter's expression challenging the battle, Ai-Fa nodded forcefully.

So I finally got into my luggage and had to leave.

As declared, Gill's reins were held by Dan-Rutim.

As I descend down the road to town, I will cover up and explain to Ai-Fa what I heard from Schmiral about the "people without stars".

"Right. Well, the people of the woods don't even know what a" people without stars "is, so that's fine. We just have to tell the truth we know."

"Yeah. The only problem is that my qualities are too unrealistic."

"... If you still have the power to see the truth, you'll know if Asta's words are false or not"

Approximately a year ago, I-Fa embraced my whole story of barbarism.

At least, Ai-Fa believed me that I wasn't lying. I had just met him, and he believed my words, which he had not yet built any trust in, without any doubt.

(I don't think the people of Wangdu will believe my words that way... but I, as a member of the people by the woods, have to tell the truth)

I renewed that thought as I was rocked in my luggage car.

Eventually, the downhill forest road ends and Dan-Rutim goes down to the ground. That's how you have to pull the reins on foot while you're out of Inn Town.

The time will be right around the time of the six and a half moments up there. The lodging town, which looks like Dan-Rutim's shoulder, was still busy today.

There is still time by Jomtien, so there is no sign of the soldiers of the king's capital. Even today, they were supposed to have information-gathering jobs in Inn Town.

In the meantime, the baggage truck is different from the outdoor area.

I got permission from Ai-Fa to set myself up on your stand.

First, let Tara wave to Dora's father, who is opening the store in her usual place.

My fathers, I guess, have already heard the circumstances. My father had a difficult face and nodded, and Tara was shaking me with her bare arms full of them.

What appears next is a Giva food stall.

Today's sales were at the mercy of Tour-Din and Yun-Sudra.

Even when I developed Breath of Ameshorn, they had this job for me, so I don't have to worry about anything in sales.

Only Mim's stalls are closed, so the number of stalls is five in total.

Thur-din, Yamil-Ray, Fay-Beim, Lily-Lavitz, Matua's women, Ratz's women - Lara-Luu, Oura, Zwei, Ray's women - all had waved and lowered their heads, respectively.

And I can also see the Lyelpham-Sudra guys defending it.

The last time I plugged into the Blue Sky Dining Room, Yun-Sudra, the women of Mufa and the women of Min still responded to my greeting.

Are Balan's men after visiting the stall already?

If that's the case, how come Asta isn't here?

(Whatever you do, we'll wrap up the conversation in peace. If the nobles of the King's capital aren't the bad guys, they should be able to solve the misunderstandings)

Thinking like that, I went back to my seat.

Through the area of the Inn Town, Dan-Rutim returns to the palace and sifts his whip vigorously.

We hurried to the castle town where the nobles of the King's capital await.
