555 Twenty-fifth day of the green moon ① - unexpected visitors

Three days had passed since the Baptism of Western God.

The auditors of the Wang capital and the 200 soldiers have already left Genos, thus restoring the original tranquillity to the Innkeeper Town.

Of course, we continued our street business, but on the surface we were able to have a routine that didn't change anything.

It is a tremendous transformation that if we try to make it a people by the woods, all the people will be baptized back by Western God. The act of all the people coming down to the town, whether to range from 500 to 600, would also have given a great surprise to the people living in Genos.

But it was only a story involving the inner surface of the people by the woods, so that when the rites of baptism were over, the disturbing air that was stuck in the boarding town was to be swept away quickly.

In the first place, the vast majority of the people of Genos were also not rightly aware of the fact that the people of the woodland had taken the Western gods so lightly, so it was difficult to guess exactly how much significance was hidden in this act.

"Whatever it is, if the people by the woods are going to be more friendly with us than ever before, you're welcome. Keep it up, folks by the woods."

After hearing about the circumstances of one street, Dora's old man was saying that to me.

Understanding how determined the people of the woods were to reach this time, the old man gave me the same smile as before.

"I'm surprised that the people of the woods made the four gods wander that far. But if you're reminding me to live right now, I'm not complaining. We thought we were all the same people in the West from the beginning!

"Thank you. I'm really glad that I'm finally in the same position as you."

"Oh, it wasn't even on my mind that Asta was exotic. But, you know, this guy's got to be happy."

Instead of the sneering old man, Tara is also grinning perfectly.

"Hey, now you can go play by the woods, right? Tara, I've been looking forward to this!

"Yeah. At the beginning of the blue moon, we're going to have another feast. Just wait a little longer until the day is set."

Today is already the 25th of the Green Moon, and Fa's nearest family is scheduled to hold a harvest festival in the next five days. The feast of rapprochement to be held by inviting the people of the town had settled on the story of putting aside then a few days before opening it.

Because of the late arrival of the auditor, it is a feast of rapprochement. The people of the town, who are to be invited, as well as those by the woods who await it it, were eager to see when that day would be decided.

The feast should also be of greater significance than ever, because we are a people by the woods determined to live righteously as the Son of Western God in the future.

This time, the desire to include several blood families from both the Zaza and Sauti families had already been delivered to the Lou family. In addition, there were many families in Fa's neighborhood who raised such voices, so they had to take some time to adjust their numbers.

And there was another case that had been set aside by the appearance of the auditors.

It was a case of Sim's chamber of commerce, the Black Windcut Feather, returning to the eastern kingdom through a path cut open by the woods.

"As soon as we got into the green moon, we were going back to Sims. But the Wang Capital auditors had a suspicious eye for the exchange between Genos and Sims, so they had to postpone it."

It was Kukuruel, the leader of the Black Wind Cut Feather, who told me that. He went out of his way to put his foot up from Castle Town and buy lunch in our stalls, and he explained that to me.

"We will leave Genos early tomorrow morning. Thank you very much to the forest people, including Asta."

"No, it's outrageous. Looking forward to seeing you again, Kukuruel."

"Yes, we'll bring you plenty of ingredients again, so make some delicious dishes."

Once you return to your hometown, you won't be able to see the Kukuruels for months. But I was able to reunite with the faces of the Silver Pot and the architects headed by Balan's old man. As I looked forward to the day when I could explore again, I was also present to fulfill my daily tasks.

And one more thing, notably, is the fact that Melfried, as Marstein's messenger, turned to the King's Capital?

He left Genos with the auditors with a letter from Marstein to King Selva. I suppose it is the intention of the Marquis' first son to express how heavily we view this one case by going out on his own.

Getting back and forth between Genos and the King's Capital takes a full moon even if you use Totos. It is also unclear at this time how long we may be staying in the Wang capital.

In the meantime, Polearth, an aide, was to serve as a substitute for the mediator of the people by the woods.

"Well, as far as I'm concerned, I'm just going to do my job the way I've always done. I wonder how much harder it would be for the Vice Commander to command the Kingsguard Corps on a due date."

It was on the day that Polearths stated so that I or I-Fa went out to the Cathedral to be baptized. That's how he overheard us after baptism as we were about to go home in our luggage.

"So, my dear father, even if you were to embark on such a long journey, Princess Odifia would feel sad and lonely. To comfort you, we'll be talking about inviting Lord Tour-Din to a tea party again, so thank you then."

"Yes, Thur-din will be delighted."

Returning to Accommodation Town to tell him that, Tour-Din smiled with a grin and joy after having a very clever face considering Odifia's mood.

"It would be a great grief for young Odifia to leave her father even beyond the full moon. I would be happy if I could comfort it at all"

With each day followed, the ties between Tour-Din and Odifia seemed to be deepening. I can still feel a strong bond of fraternity there, even though I can only count that I actually looked at you. That should have been a great hope for the people of the woods who decided to live right as the people of the west.

In that way, our lives in Genos were to pass solemnly.

A new disturbance was brought there, three days after his baptism, on the 25th of the Green Moon.

◇

Even that day, after finishing our business in Accommodation Town, we encouraged a culinary study group at Kamadu Hut in Fa's house.

Since the harvest festival was approaching the present, it is a preliminary exercise for it. Explain the situation to the people of Gaz, Rats and Baym, and the regular study group takes some time off and even trains for banquet cooking. Therefore, all gathered on the spot were the people of Fou, Run, Sudra, Din and Lid.

People's expressions were bright as they retreated from the threat posed by the auditors and celebrated the harvest festival they were waiting for. Moreover, the harvest festival was set to open more than half a month later than expected. Although it was fortunate to be held after the auditors' return, people's expectations had increased even in response.

"This is where the harvest festival went first because Gibba won't be gone from the hunting grounds of Fa and Fou, right? If we can deal with more hounds in the future, will the days of opening the harvest festival go by first?"

It was Yun-Sudra who was holding Kamadhu's leadership role.

I was coaching another squad of women, and I said, "Oh, yeah."

"The last period of rest ended in the middle of the month of gold, so you're going to be free for more than five whole months. I do wonder if, at this rate, three harvest festivals a year will be reduced to two."

"That's right. But thanks to the hounds, the men are able to work safer than ever before, so I am very happy."

The period of rest arises when Gibba eats up the grace of the hunting ground and moves the territory. But since the harvest of Giva is higher than ever in the hunting grounds of Fa and Fou and Run, the grace of the forest will be protected for a long time, which led to a situation where the period of rest slipped away.

In the hunting grounds of Sudra, Din and Lid, due to the fact that the grace of the forest has already been eaten up and Giva is no longer close, he is now heading out to the hunting grounds of Sung to do his job. Since the journey required a luggage car, Fa's house used this as an opportunity to purchase three more luggage cars.

Of course the people of the nearby clan were frightened, but this is also a necessary expense to celebrate the harvest festival together.

Also, tototos and luggage cars are not yet in enough numbers to get in the way, even with all this increase. The lighter the footwork, such as buying out to the lodging town or going to and from your home, the more productive life should have been.

"Fow's parents are also offering to buy their own hounds, aren't they? When will the hound arrive?

"I haven't heard a definite day yet, but I guess it will arrive during the Blue Moon. I'm going to let you buy me another hound at Fa's house."

"Huh? Does Ai-Fa use as many as two hounds alone?

"Yeah. It's like Shmiral at Lilyn's house is also using two hounds well on his own. That's what inspired me, too."

"Really? In the meantime, we've just got more zilbes for watchdogs, and Fa's house is getting busier and busier."

The watchdog Taru Jilbe was still round at the entrance to Kamadu's cabin. Three days have passed since he became a family member of Fa's house, so we are all totally familiar with him.

Zilbe, who was trained as your escort dog, was to be re-attached as the guard dog protecting the house.

In doing so, he was taught that no human being with the scent of the fruit of the grigi was an enemy, so Zilbe would not strip the people by the woods of their fangs. Everyone in the woodland settlements possessed the grigi fruit of poison insect repellent as arm decorations and necklaces, so that was the best safety measure.

However, when a person appears who approaches Fa's house, he barks only one voice "baugh" and tells him about the visitor. On this day, Zilbe fulfilled his task when the day clock pointed to half the four moments down and the end of the study group approached.

"Oh, who's here?"

I look back at the entrance as I put the washed meat cutter in my sheath.

It was the young hunters of the Fou family who showed up there.

"When the cooking was done, did you get along? The women of Fou, Run and Sudra, gather at Fou's house when we're done cleaning up."

"And the women of Run and Sudra? What the hell happened?

When Yun-Sudra inquired in wonder, the man shook his neck sideways with a steep trick.

"I'm going to have to head over to Lew's house, so I don't have time to explain... hey, something terrible has happened"

"Is that a hell of a thing? No way, someone took a deep hand or something...?

The men abandoned "no" in a scorching voice.

"In the middle of the hunt, in the river of Rant, I picked up the red wildlings."

"Huh?"

"I picked up Morga's three beasts, the Red Wildlings. He had a deep hand, but he didn't even know how to handle it, so he went to the Lew family, the chieftaincy muscle, to look for judgment."

Everyone was supposed to be pompous when they were gathered on the spot.

Of course, I'm no exception. Or perhaps the most surprising thing was me.

With us on our asses like that, Fou's men gave us back the blemishes.

"We don't particularly need manpower, but everyone gather at Fow's house and listen to the parents. Well, I asked for it."

When the men disappeared, the interior of Kamado's cabin became like a hive.

"I can't believe the Red Wildlings are coming down the mountain! What the hell is this all about?

"Before this, did the soldiers come down to the foot angrily because they tried to trample and vandalize the Morga mountains?

"But how are beasts allowed to be treated down the mountain? But Asta also exorcised Madarama's serpent in the Rant River, didn't she?

"Ugh, yeah. It's not even exorcism, but this one was also life threatening. I hit him with a rock and dropped him in the river, and he just kept flowing."

When I did tell Mulstein and the others about it, I was not guilty. It seems a great contraindication to step into the mountains of Morga and hurt the three beasts, but the three beasts who have come down the mountains themselves seem to be allowed to be treated in any way.

"How did you get him home again? If you had flown through the rant with a deep hand, you should have just left it there."

The old fou women said that with a difficult face.

"Well, could we have just made a scene? Let's go back to the house and listen to the parents. I have to finish cleaning up!

Under such an order, the clean-up is resumed.

The work was completed in a few minutes, and Fou's blood tribe, Takamadoku, was to greet him and leave Kamadoku's cabin there. They had Fafa's luggage ready, so they would be able to return to Fou's settlement in minutes of things.

All that was left was me, Tour-Din, and two women, Din and Lid.

Gill's luggage was always a habit of keeping them at Fa's house, so after this I was supposed to be the one to send them to their respective homes.

"Um, I knew I was curious. I'm gonna try to get to Fow's settlement, too, but what about everyone?

"Yes. If possible with these eyes, I'd like to see something called the Red Wildlings. If they keep sending me back to the woods, I probably won't get a chance to see them for the rest of my life."

Other women agreed with the words of Lid's ladies.

However, Tour-Din is an anxious face without saying goodbye.

"But all three beasts of Morga are supposedly stronger than Giva, aren't they? Is there no danger?

"If you're taking the deep end, I guess you'll be fine. If it's dangerous, Fow's men won't even take him home."

So we decided to go for Fow's house, too.

Gilbe is also strictly ordered by Ey-Fa to stay as alone as possible, so let him board the luggage truck. Instead of being the guard dog protecting the house, Ai-Fa treated Zilbe as one family member.

When we arrive in the settlement of Fou, there is a crowd in the square.

In five days there will be a harvest festival, the square of the Fou family. Six of us and one of us decided to be added to that ring.

"Oh, Asta and the others are here."

The women who have just said goodbye have pointed to the center of the hedge.

A cloth rug is spread in front of the house and one beast lies there. Seeing that, I was to be surprised not least.

(This is... the Red Wildlings?

The size, it doesn't seem that big. Is it about 100 centimeters long or something like a human child?

But more than that, I have long arms. It seems longer to spread your left and right arms than your back length. Besides, he was in a much more inch-packed shape and his legs seemed a lot shorter.

Its body has pale brown hair all over its body. Now that was in a muddy wet state, making a big stain on the rug.

One arm rests on his stomach and the other is sloppy and lying down on his side. With his eyelids closed on his back and not even trying to move tingly, it just seemed like he was desperate to me.

(Well, if this is walking in the mountains, there may be some mistakes with the shadows... but after all, you don't look so much like a human being as a wildling)

Whatever it is, I have amazing hair on my face. It's closer to catfish than monkeys. Speaking of which, there were three sharp nails growing at the tip of his hands and feet, and that was all the catfish.

(When the Dougs stepped into the border between the mountains and the woods, someone said they raised their voice and intimidated them, so I thought that was some kind of red wildlings wrinkle... I don't think this guy could speak human language)

And I felt another discomfort.

This beast is not red anywhere. I had no idea why they called me the Red Wildlings.

"Asta, are you here to see the Red Wildlings?

And a familiar voice is thrown from behind.

Looking back, it was Lyelpham-Sudra who stood there.

"Oh, Lyelpham-Sudra. Were you working at the Fou hunting ground today instead of the Sung family?"

The hunters of the Sudra family, freed from their guard duties, worked in the hunting grounds of Sung and Fou for a day.

Lyelpham-Sudra nodded, "Uhm," as she engraved how deep the wrinkles were on her wrinkly face.

"If you think you've left the auditors of Wang Du, this is the noise now. Damn, that's a mess."

"Right. But are the three beasts down the mountain allowed to be treated in any way?

"That may be true, but I didn't think the Red Wildlings looked like that. I wouldn't have been able to throw it away."

I didn't know what the word meant, and I was supposed to tilt my neck.

Seeing that look, Lyelpham-Sudra frowns.

"What, Asta hadn't seen the wildlings yet?

"Huh? No, if you're a wildling, you can still see it from here..."

"What are you talking about? It's the beast of the mountain that the wildlings were holding in their arms."

That being said, Lyelpham-Sudra pointed to the other side of the hedge.

"The wildlings are sleeping over there. If you look at me like that, Asta will understand my mood."

With great surprise, I decided to leave the scene, along with Tour-Din and Zilbe.

Moving on about after Lyelpham-Sudra, there is an even bigger hedge beyond the hedge. Your destiny was your hedge.

"Don't get too close. I don't know what to do when I wake up."

I nodded back to Lyelpham-Sudra while approaching the hedge.

Then the people who realize it will vacate the place for us. Many hunters were seen there as well as women and toddlers.

"Oh, Asta. How troublesome it has become."

It was Berdu-Fow who stated it that way.

I tried to get back to you, and I was supposed to be breathtaking because of the presence that jumped into my sight.

Even here, a rug is laid in front of the house and a stranger lies on top of it. I guess this is the red wildlings of Morga.

But - the man was wearing clothes around his body.

Plus, it even wraps around a fine cloak.

The waist is wrapped around a band and inserted into it is a wooden sheath.

It was a human being, no matter where he came from.
