556 Twenty-fifth Day of the Green Moon ② - Two Big Sins

I was left distracted for a while to observe the red wildlings lying there.

The physique is small. He is about 130 cm tall at most, and his body is a lot more relaxed.

But that's no wonder. She was a very young girl.

I don't really understand the prominence of nose and nose because of the disturbed hair on my face all the time. It just seems like you're sleeping peacefully with your eyelids closed.

He lays down his body and circles himself like a fetus. Because of that, she looked so small.

The body is wrapped around a torso whose dyeing is still loose. The arms and feet are peeled off and the hips are wrapped with bands, where a large wooden sheath is inserted. My feet were barefoot and I had nothing on my hands either.

However, an escort was placed from the right ankle to the top of his knee, which was wrapped around him with a gray cloth. To investigate, he must have broken his leg. That must have been treated by the folks at Fou.

Normally, he's just a human being.

An external human being who broke into the woodland was to be flushed in the river of Rant. That's what makes sense.

But I, like the rest of them, had a feeling close to the certainty that it was the Red Wildlings.

There are two reasons.

One of them is the cape she is weaving her feathers from her shoulders.

It was made of scaly skin that shined so brightly in black blue.

You'll need a pretty giant reptile to make such a fine cape. And that shade of blue and black was identical to the madalama serpent I once encountered.

And the other is her own color.

She looked like a human without anything strange about her, but the only thing was that her hair and skin were colored with red colors.

reddish brown, would it be appropriate? A little more red than the red brick I know. Due to the exact same shade of hair and skin, it seemed to be the result of dyeing with dye or something, not native.

"I'm pretty sure this is a red wild man because he looks red like this, and besides using the Madarama scales as hunter's clothes. If you weren't a resident of Morga Mountain in the first place, you wouldn't be able to hunt Madarama."

In a low voice, Birdu-Fow said so.

"I thought they might look like us when they called us people... but now they are humans themselves. So we were supposed to take him home without being able to throw him away."

"Well...... has she been losing her mind?

"Mm-hmm. Besides the broken right shin, they hit him hard in the head. Now he's hiding with his hair, but he also had a big scratch on his forehead. I've only applied medicine to you... but I'm going to wait for the chiefs and nobles to tell me what to do after this."

We surrounded the girl with a distance of only three meters, so we couldn't confirm the wound on her forehead.

Instead, I made a new discovery. On her cheek, there seemed to be some sort of black print.

If you look closely, there was a similar tattoo wrapped around the back of the hand and the back of the foot. What a spell, meaningful print.

"Whoa, I've also taken up the weapon. With the beast over there, this knife was also gripping hard."

When Birdu-Faw looked at him, the other men had offered him a single knife.

It is a short knife with a black body and a thick blade. The fillet was shredded with a blackening stone, and the pattern was wrapped with ramen grass.

"I guess the outfit is also made from grass that can be taken in the mountains. That's how our ancestors used to lure weapons and clothes from stones and grass in the Black Forest."

"But this is an amazing story. I didn't think the red wildlings looked like people themselves."

"Hmm. I guess it was also the Red Wildlings who threatened the soldiers of the King's capital"

When Birdu-Fow mentioned it that way, the red wildling girl suddenly said, "Kaha!" He exhaled sharply.

Occasionally Birdu-Fow calls on the bloodlines as they shake up their long arms.

"Looks like you're awake! Stay back, girls and toddlers!

A circle of siege with a radius of about three metres was to be spread out to about five metres.

The girl puts one hand on the rug and wakes up her upper body looking daunting.

"Stay where you are and listen to me. You're Morga's Red Wildlings, aren't you?

Birdu-Fow asked that in a tense voice.

The girl raises her face to the urchin.

Big eyes glowed from the long forehead gap on his face.

The eyes also seemed to have a reddish hue.

Unlike skin and hair, I guess this is what I was born with. It is a deep, dark red, reminiscent of the garnet of gems.

(You have such beautiful eyes. Now if you can understand these words, you don't have to worry about anything -)

And when I thought of it that way, the girl's red eyes burned up like flames.

The moment I perceived it, my vision dimmed.

My body is thrust by a tremendous shock, and the next moment, I can't move. When I opened my eyes without knowing, I saw Birdu-Fow a few meters away.

"Do what! Let go of Asta!

Birdu-Fow's eyes were burning up in anger.

The men, lined left and right, have already pulled out their swords.

And I finally realized that my throat was being compressed as hard as I could breathe.

Someone is scratching my throat from behind.

Whatever you think, it was only the Red Wildling Girl who imitated that.

But I should have been about five meters away from her.

Yet, right next to them stood the hunters by the woods.

It was an unusual and unthinkable story, such as pushing out the hunter by the woods who was on alert and one broken leg of human beings extending to such an impudent imitation.

"Are you going to break Morga's contraindication! If we don't leave now, we will destroy your world!

An awesome anger explodes under my ear.

The red wildling girl holding me is raising her voice in anger.

This situation reminded me of my predicament even though I didn't like it. Needless to say, it is a horrible memory when Tay-Sung restrained me in my personality.

"What are you talking about! You're the one who broke the contraindication! It would be Morga's code not to touch the mountains, and not to touch the three beasts of the mountains!

Birdu-Fow also pulled the knife out again as he gave the girl an unbeatable roar.

It was the first time I had seen Birdu-Fow reveal so much hunter temper. It is as if the flames of anger are tumbling over its long but thin body.

"Still, we relieved you of your wounds! And trample on that duty, and you're gonna hurt our people!

"Come on, get the hell down the mountain! Let's start by pulling this guy's neck out!?

My cervical bone started playing a harsh and unpleasant tone.

It is a more relentless bitterness of blame than Tay-Sung once was. I was so desperate to grab the other guy's arm that I couldn't even speak up, but that didn't even freak out as if it were made of steel.

"So this isn't a mountain, this is a forest at the foot of a mountain! We didn't break any contraindications!

"Don't let the fool out! The mountains of Morga are our sanctuary! This guy's soul, let me dedicate it to the Great God!

"Stop!... if you hurt Asta, I'll tear you apart"

Birdu-Fow grips the knife back.

Instead, a small figure approached without sound.

"Red wildlings, look at that one. That way we'll know our words are true."

It was Chim-Sudra.

My fingertips are on my right hand side.

In that direction, the mountain of Morga of the day should have stood.

After a few seconds, the power of my fingers around my neck is loosened up.

At that moment, the power was sifted again until it was atrocious, and my body was to be swept away from the girl.

I fall to the ground and resume the breathing I had been accused of.

Then someone who saved me softly lifted my hand up on its back.

"Are you okay, Asta? Relax, breathe slowly."

I managed to make him look back.

It was Lyelpham-Sudra, whoever was on my knees instead.

"Thank you...... you have been saved again by Lyelpham-Sudra......"

"I wonder how all Asta can see things like this. I didn't feel alive."

Lyelpham-Sudra was breathing on the top of the Buddha.

It just feels like the light of relief is twitching in those little eyes. I smiled at your throat as it burned.

Then he circled around Lyelpham-Sudra's body and Zilbe approached him.

He looks at me with some very sorry eyes, and he mocks my cheek. Maybe Zilbe was powered by the Red Wildling Girl and could not move until now.

"It's okay. I'm glad Zilbe didn't do a lame imitation."

When I stroked the inside of her tenderness, Zilbe slipped her face away like it was sweet.

Zilbe, like Ai-Fa, admits to me as her husband.

With such a gentle rub on my back, Lyelpham-Sudra was skipping her gaze across.

"Nevertheless, it's the one with terrible powers. That's just what they call a stronger beast than Gibba."

I moved my gaze over there, too.

The hunters of Fou and Run surround the girl of the Red Wildlings with a knife in her hand.

The girl had gone into the ground and snorted disappointingly.

"Oh my god... was this really, out of the mountains..."

A voice as quiet as an anger is a lie.

It's the voice of a very young girl who looks like that little body.

And the word, though slightly loose in intonation, was more clear in the west than most people in the east and north.

"So I've said that many times. We haven't broken any contraindications. You came running down the Rant's river, so you saved it and made allowance for the wounds."

Saying in a harsh voice, Birdu-Fow poked a knife cut at the girl's chest.

The girl slowly brought her head and looked up at Birdu-Fow's length.

"Understood. It was this one who broke the contraindication. Summon the soul of the sinner with the sword. Tia doesn't run or hide."

"Tia? Is that your name?

"... It's Tier-Hamra-Namkal, the red people of Morga. The soul of this sinner returns to the Great God. With that deed, please forgive me."

That said, the girl hid her red glowing eyes behind her eyelids.

Clear tears flow down its strangely tattooed cheeks.

The side seemed so young and filled with pure sorrow.

◇

"... I see. Was it such a backdrop?"

After a while, at sunset.

Instead of getting ready for dinner, I - Fa - finished hearing all the circumstances, crushing like that with a deep, furious, whispering voice.

"I guess no one could have thought that the wildlings with one broken leg would jump on Asta with that much force. With me, it's still incredible to hear the story, so I can't blame Birdu-Fow and the others for the sweet prospects."

"If that's what you can say, I'm glad. I still strongly regret that I should never have brought a hunter closer."

Birdu-Fow, seated in the lower seat, had answered that way with a careless face. To explain the situation to Ai-Fa, Birdu-Faw himself was visiting Fa's house on purpose.

"So, the treatment of the Red Wildlings is regulated by the nobles of Genos?

"Oh. By now Donda-Lou will be talking to the lords of Genos in Castle Town. That response should be delivered tomorrow morning."

"Mm-hmm. That's not a strange story either, because the red wildlings that were called beasts looked like humans. For morgage contraindications, the people of Genos think heavier than we do."

While stating so, Ai-Fa glanced at him with a glimmer.

"So... why the hell are those wildlings settling in Fa's house?

"Mm-hmm. I knew Ai-Fa would get angry, but he insisted."

Birdu-Fow turned his gaze, sorry.

At the end of that gaze, the red wildling girl sits quietly down. Without being particularly tied up, the right-handed leg of the escort was thrown over the rug.

"He can't get away from Asta until he redeems it because he's hurt Asta, who's not guilty. They are. I don't know, but that's what they're learning."

…………

"Of course, we struggled to convince ourselves, but if that's not even acceptable, please give us our souls back and they'll cry. It's like he's feeling weak because he's guilty of the contraindication of going out of the mountains and the contraindication of hurting innocent people."

"... Is that why you want me to put whoever hurt Asta by Asta?

Ai-fa is so angry because there is a blue-black mole left firmly under my throat.

It was probably not until Dodd kicked me in the stomach that I suffered this kind of wound. The graceful limbs of Ey-Fa felt a blue-white angry aura twinkle from earlier.

"There will no longer be any harm done to Asta by this one. That's all I can believe. But if I don't believe you, we'll keep an eye on him till tomorrow morning."

Instead of Birdu-Fow, the other two young hunters refrain. The Birdu-Faws have been watching this girl since then.

But even though she bears a deep hand on her head and right leg, she is a girl who has shown enough strength to outrun the hunters by the woods. The fact that only three watchmen could be helpful against her like that was because Birdu-Fow wholeheartedly trusted the girl's words.

"If you like, I want Ai-Fa to exchange words with that person, too. That way, you'll understand my words."

When Birdu-Faw told him so, Ai-Fa stood up with a knife in his hand.

That's how I kneel under one of the girls and peek into that little face.

"Face up. I'm Asta's family you hurt, I'm Fa's house Ai-Fa."

The girl looked up slowly.

Garnet-like eyes in their deep shades stare straight back at Ai-Fa.

"Ey-fa in Fa's house. Tia-Hamra-Namkal sincerely apologizes for hurting Asta in Fa's house, your family"

"Let's accept that apology. So I want you to leave Fa's house"

"I can't do that. Because Tia has committed two major contraindications, the Great God will not forgive her."

Girl Tia freshly stated that with a look of truthful thoughts.

That body looks so small because I let it take off its cape of scales. Height and weight will probably only be as good as Zwei-Rutim. It was a little inconceivable in common sense where so much power was hidden in such a small body.

Also, the hair and clothes that were soaking wet have been completely dry in the last few hours. Her hair, cut out neatly around her shoulders, felt to me as if it was exuded some kind of fruit or flowery scent.

The face visible from the gap in the long forehead is, after all, young. The eyes and mouth are huge, only the nose has a slightly smaller build, and somewhere the small animal is meshed. The story was that she was twelve years old, but coupled with her little body, she seemed so much younger than that.

Tia overlaps words even more as she is twisted by the eyes of Ey-Fa glittering like an angry bobcat.

"If you're angry, I want Tia's neck snapped. Tia committed all that sin. And with that punishment, Tia's sins will be redeemed"

"... don't you distract me from the fact that I don't want to leave someone home who has hurt my family?

"So we should snap Tia's neck. Tia doesn't know why she won't."

After staring at Tia for a while, Ai-Fa took a deep sigh.

Waking up like that, I snap my head around like I had a seizure.

"What a pain in the ass. This one... looks like a mountain boy."

"Oh. You can't lie to this guy. That's why I decided to trust him."

I was supposed to have a little word with this girl in Fow's settlement, too.

What I felt at that time was the intense thought of what clear eyes you had -.

Other than the strange shades of hair and skin, he looks no different than a normal human being. But the girl's big reddish eyes were as clear and innocent as a newborn baby.

Or it could have been an eye similar to a tototoss or a hound. She had a wild animal eye when she was supposed to be the same person who spoke the same language as us.

And it was a feeling similar to the one I had with the forest people first.

Now it is only natural, but the people of the woods were all distinct from the inhabitants of the town in their purity and wildness. It didn't seem to me that this girl was the one who further honed it and tailored it to how rare it was.

It is enough to capture such a surprise as to whether this is truly human. As a matter of fact, even though I was told that the beast of the field had been transformed into a human figure by magical powers, I was almost convinced by accident.

"Again, when it comes to wildlings, I guess it's something different from normal humans. But that doesn't seem like a bad factor to us. That's why I don't want to upset him."

"... so you want him to stay at Fa's until tomorrow morning?

"If you're worried about I-Fa, let's keep an eye on him till morning without us sleeping. So I want you to manage to forgive me"

Ai-Fa sighed again and then looked back at Birdu-Fow with a little resentment.

"With me, I'm not questioning this guy's words or mood.... Berdu-Fou et al. should go back to their homes"

"Is that all right? We're the ones who brought him back to the settlement, so you don't have to worry about anything."

"It doesn't make sense to keep an eye on those who don't have to worry about getting busted. You should have dinner in your own house with your family."

Apparently, Ai-Fa also trusted Tia's words unconditionally.

For once, he was the one who tried to do me harm. Because I'm going to trust Tia like that, it still occurred to me that the i-fa's are discerning the essence of this girl more than I am.

"Then let me tell you that as soon as the word is delivered from Lew's house. I'm so sorry I put you through so much extra trouble."

Thus the Birdu-Faws went out of Fa's house.

Brave and Zilbe snuggle up at the foot of an eye-fa hanging on the doorboard. I'm sure you're worried about Ai-Fa, which exudes unusual signs.

After carefully stroking the braves' heads like that, Ai-Fa returned to the hall.

Sitting at the wall, Tia follows Ey-Fa's behavior all the time with that strange look.

"Ey-fa in Fa's house. You don't call Tia's soul after all, either?

"I would have listened. It's the chiefs of the woods and the nobles of Genos who decide what to do with you."

"... I knew you guys were odd. Even though I'm a person in the outside world, I feel somewhere like a red people"

After sitting back somewhere in the upper seat, Ai-Fa once again looked like Tia.

"After all, what does that mean? You've known the people of the woods for a long time?

"Of course, I knew. You are a clan hunting for Giva at the foot of the mountain. I hear you've been hunting for Gibba at the foot of the mountain since before the birth of Sheikh Hamra."

I was working on finishing dinner, and I said, "Huh?" I was to look back.

"Wait a minute. Your name also contained the word Hamra, didn't it? Maybe you're the blood muscle of the chieftaincy muscle?

"Tier-Hamra-Namkal. This is Tia, the son of Hamra of the Namkar clan. Hamra is the chief who can unite Namkar."

"More so, the son of a chief? But you don't sum up the Red People and everything they do, do you?

Tia nodded, "Uhm," as Ai-Fa clasped her mouth.

"There are many clans living in Morga. Namkar is a clan that fights Madarama with Valb as its friend. I am not close to a clan that fights Valb with Madarama as a friend.... but if the Tiers eat Madarama, it will also be Morga's power. Madarama, Valve and the Red People are the same son of Morga."

"That's the same thing as us. Gibbs and Geese and Mundt are dangerous, but they're the same forest kids."

Tia looked at Ai-Fa more and more strangely, frowning at her cuddly.

"I knew you guys were weird. Are you imitating the Red People?

"You can't imitate strangers. The people of the woods have hardly ever seen you in the last 80 years."

That being said, Ai-Fa narrows her eyes in a grumpy manner.

"Not to mention this will be the first time I've exchanged words with you guys in this way. How come you guys who've been lurking deep inside Morga are supposed to show up?

"That's... because a man from the outside approached Morga"

Tia's eyes lit a light that was not calm.

"Not long ago, a large number of humans approached Morga. So the Hunter of Namkar decided to take turns watching. It was tier order today, so I was hunting in a valley close to the foot of the mountain while I was on the lookout... but when I was chasing Payfay, Madarama attacked me and I fell into the river"

"... What is Payfay?

"Payfay is the fruit of Morga. The Red People, Madarama and Valve are all eating Payfay. I guess that madalama was after the same payfay as Tia."

With Ai-Fa tilting her neck, I decided to make it up to her.

"Maybe that's about another beast living in Morga Mountain. They've been running down the river of rants with her."

"Uhm. Payfay's meat is very powerful and can be used for a variety of things, both nails and fur. It was unusual to have Payfay in a place like that... because of which Tia was set to fall into the river"

"... but before that, if the soldiers of the king's capital hadn't set foot on the border with the mountains, you wouldn't have even set up a watch"

With that said, Ai-Fa sighed deeply again.

"So I finally got to the point. This was connected to the disturbances caused by the auditors of the Wang capital."

"... I hear that you Giva hunting clans will never vandalize Morga. But it seems the humans were trying to trample and vandalize Morga in large numbers. The Red People will never forgive those who seek to break Morga's contraindications"

Tia's eyes are starting to gleam.

"Hey," Ey-Fa voiced scared as she attached her fingertips to the knife pattern she placed on the floor.

"The men have already left Genos. Sometimes in the future we will get close to the mountains of Morga. So don't scatter the noisy signs like that"

"... well," Tia closed her eyelids.

"Anyway, Tia has made a contraindication. I can't go back to Morga with this leg, and I have to redeem Asta. I hope to have this soul at all times."

"So I know you're saying we're not the ones who decide that.... but you can't go back to Morga if you're forgiven for this sin?

"Absolutely. Even if we return to Morga with this body, we will be devoured by Madarama within a hundred steps"

"But on the border between the woods and the mountains, aren't your countrymen watching? Ask him for salvation and he'll be safe."

"No. I'm not allowed to save a hunter who lost his power after committing contraindications. If Tia approaches Morga with this body, her brothers' swords will call Tia's soul before Madarama."

"... somehow, it's getting more and more troublesome"

Ai-Fa spilled a few more sighs with her hands on her forehead.

"Fair enough. First we wait for the words of the chiefs and nobles. There is nothing else.... Asta, I'm hungry."

"I'm just finishing up. I'll get the pot from Kamado's cabin, so just give me a minute."

"Then I'll go with you"

I left Tia on the spot and even followed Ey-Fa to the cabin.

With my hands on the iron pan I'm looking for, I'll ask Ai-Fa.

"Both Ai-Fa and Birdu-Fow trust her from the bottom of their hearts. Of course I don't think she's gonna lie or do anything wrong."

"Mm-hmm. The one is a newborn baby, or something like a dog or a toss. There is no need to doubt that word or mood at all"

With that said, my fingertips fluttered and touched my throat.

"If I hadn't hurt you, I'd have exchanged words with him in a more serene way too... but in retrospect, it's a shame"

"Ugh, yeah, right....... sorry ai-fa, kinda ticklish"

Ey-Fa pulled his fingertips in, while dissatisfying his lips.

It's amazingly cute how you look at me when you look up to me.

"Whatever it is, it won't do us any harm. I don't mind trusting you, but you don't give a lot of attention to those who aren't your own people, do you?

"Yeah, she's not even a western people. But you'd be forgiven enough to split the meal, wouldn't you?

"Well... we can't let them eat anything until tomorrow morning"

That's how the two of us went back home, and Tia was sitting in exactly the same position as earlier. Brave, Zilbe and Gilr are holding back in the dirt as usual.

"Come on, it's a meal. I even prepared it for you today, what do you think?

When I called, Tia looked back at me.

"You don't kill Tia, you even give her a meal? Tia returns her soul anyway, so the food just goes to waste."

"You don't know what's ahead yet. I don't know if it fits your mouth, but eat it if you like."

I ordered some tau oil-tailored giva soup from an iron pan and brought it to Tier.

Tia faces like an animal as she leans her nose against a wooden dish.

"... something smells strange"

"You're not supposed to be using anything bad for your health. It tastes thin."

If you lived in the mountains, you wouldn't have had any connection to something called seasoning. That's why I tried to prepare a simple giva soup with as little excitement as possible.

Tia, who received the wood dish, was still moving her nose slightly.

Then, nod the elongated tongue and stick the surface of the soup in place.

At the end of the day, Tia scraped the soup directly from the wood plate - and lowered her brow butt, as she was so troubled.

"Looks like he's kind of rubbing Payfay's piss. You suck at cooking meals, Asta."

All I could do was laugh "haha".

Ai-Fa is Ai-Fa, and he steps on the estate waste while sitting down.

"I knew I wouldn't mind that one! Why do you have to keep such ungrateful information at Fa's house!

Whatever, that's how the 25th of the Green Moon came to an end.

But the disturbance over Tier-Hamra-Namkal, the daughter of the chief of the Red People, was the real deal from here on out.
