573 Accommodation Town Exchange ② - Expectations and Anxiety

After finishing our business in Inn Town, we returned to the woods at two moments downstairs.

After finishing their meal at the Blue Sky Cafeteria, Joo-Run disappeared into the crowd of Inn Town at the head of Yumi. After this, they're going to follow the inn town routine and hang out until night.

For the forest people, the concept of "playing" is rare in the first place. It is not until the young child that it is allowed to do so, and the rest of the human being usually works from morning to evening. The same is true of the men who encourage the hunting of the Giva, as well as of the women who protect the house.

If it is a period of rest, the man also helps with the work of the house, with which he spends his free time relaxing and fostering love between families. It seemed like a happy, full life, but after all, there seemed to be little room for the act of "playing" to intervene.

But it is also a definite story that the introduction of Totos and the luggage truck created a loose end to going to life by the woods.

Previously, for the woodland women, buying out to the lodging town accounted for a cool proportion of their daily work.

It is a cool distance from the settlement by the woods to the lodging town, and there is a limited amount of luggage that can be carried by manpower. Using Totos and a luggage truck would have greatly reduced their time and effort.

Conversely, I would say that that's how I was able to relax into my life, so I could hold culinary study groups and also cook elaborate dishes at dinner. Even spreading such time should have been difficult if it had remained in its previous life.

In any case, there was to arise in the lives of the people by the woods something called looseness that had never existed before.

I would also have been able to give the Joo-Runs a "penny" because if they were Fou's blood, they would have made considerable room financially.

And yet, how much looseness is born, it is only during periods of rest that the hunted man is free to spend his day. That's why Birdu-Fow also took this as a good opportunity to take an English break in accepting suggestions from Yumi.

How do the people of the same western city of lodging, the Son of God, spend their days? To find out, Birdu-Fow accepted Yumi's offer. Nor did the forest chiefs dispute the decision. Of course, if this results in capturing affection for the Yummies, the practice of playing in the boarding town will be forbidden - still, it was the will of the people by the woods not to reject it headlessly before trying it.

(So I, too, was very much in favor of this deed...... I didn't know there was going to be a tease about the sex affair)

After Yun-Sudra revealed the circumstances behind it, I was also supposed to raise some concerns.

but still, I don't feel like denying what I did this time. Rayna-Luu and Sin-Luu, too, were once caught up in colorful and confusing noises with the nobles of the castle town, but they managed to get over it. If we were to deepen our ties with the people outside, it seemed that such noise would have to be dealt with from time to time after accepting it as one risk.

"But how the hell do they spend their time in the lodging town? From one moment to sunset, it will be a long time..."

Saying goodbye to the people of the Lou family and driving their luggage to Fa's house. Besides, it was Tour-Din who said so freshly.

"Yeah. I was curious about that too, but Yumi didn't tell me, did she? It would be more fun not knowing anything, say something."

"If it's Easter or something, you can also see the art of travelers, but now is not the time... I have no idea"

Tour-Din had a slightly uneasy face. When the second exchange was held, she was also called upon to participate.

"But well, I wonder if it's meaningful enough just to have a close word with the people in Inn Town. In the middle of business, it's hard to get that kind of time with your face together."

When I answered that, I could see the sidewalk leading to Fa's house.

When you slow down the luggage car and point the gill at you, it conveys an unexpected hustle and bustle. There seemed to be a lot of crowds gathering in front of Fa's house.

"What is it? Not only the women, but the men seem to be gathering."

Tool-din, too, was leaning his neck strangely.

As I move my luggage car closer to you, one of the women who made up the hedge looks back "oops".

"Good day. It's time for Asta and the others to come back."

"Yes, good job. What are you all doing?

"It's a hunter's workout. We were watching him."

When I watermarked across the hedge from the top of your table, it certainly looked like the hunters were encouraging every one of them to work out.

Some are pulling wooden sticks together, others are working together. There were also those who were meeting with tree bars instead of swords, and those who were encouraging tree climbing.

There, oops, a twist occurs.

Rad-Lid, who was working with I-Fa, was thrown to the ground. The young ladies were yellow cheering.

"Uhm, shit! I've tried three times and I didn't expect to win one! Your power is a big deal, Ai-Fa!

Instead of Lad-Lid, who laughs lavishly, Ai-Fa is breathing. Ai-Fa was dressed with her hands on both knees, dripping many muscles of sweat from its cheeks.

"Okay, next time, it's my turn. Next time, I'll let Ai-Fa follow you to the ground."

It was the eldest brother of the Lid main house, the son of Rad-Lid, who advanced as he described it.

Ai-Fa wakes herself up and muddles the sweat on her forehead, responding, "Wait."

"Exactly. Me too, come on. I'm tired. I want you to rest a lot."

"What? You won't allow me to win and run? We haven't beaten Ai-Fa once yet!

"But now we should be doing force comparisons 20 or 30 times in a row. Now it's hard for me to do what I'm supposed to do."

Even ii-fa, who has an out-of-popular stamina and specializes in the methods of warfare of gently controlling rigidity, would then be just out of strength. On the day of his departure, he was dealing with Rem-dom for hours with his opponents, but all gathered here are hunters of war.

Rad-Lid and his son looked at each other with a bit of a decent face, then nodded almost simultaneously, "Well."

"If you ask me, Ai-Fa never took a break. I'm sorry I did this."

"Oh, you can't be proud of defeating the weak Ai-Fa to the ground. After a lot of breathing, hope for them!

"Uhm," he nodded, then Ai-Fa looked at me better.

I quickly got out of my luggage and approached Ai-Fa.

"I'm home now. What the hell is all this fuss?

"Oh. The men of Lid and Din have asked me to work out with them. You must have been considerate of me because there are some unfavourable aspects to me alone."

Ey-fa, who states so, was all sweaty. His blue eyes blink vigorously as he trimmed his forehead against his face.

"I'm totally tired of being challenged to the next one.... But if I pair up with the hunters of Lid and Din, I will be able to build on them as well. I sincerely appreciate it."

"Was it? Good for you."

I was heartily happy and laughed.

Ai-Fa glances at herself in the way she was poked at unexpectedly, and then she looks just a little red, and then she glances at me.

"... what kind of job are you? Don't worry about us, do your job."

"Yeah, roger. Speaking of which, Tia..."

"Asta, you're back!

And Tia's voice comes down from overhead.

Looking up, Tia's smile peered across the roof of Fa's house.

"Oh, I'll be there again... if I can't do a dangerous imitation"

"Nothing is at stake. I was watching everyone from here so I wouldn't get in the way."

While stating so, Tia jumped off the roof without a foreshadow.

I land with my left leg and two arms and wake myself up as if nothing had happened. It was something that would have sounded like a right foot wound if imitated like that, but Tia seemed to have bent her knees and elbows deep at the moment of landing to distribute the shock successfully. Exactly what the beast does.

"I = fa is sweaty, so I stopped asking him to take it. Asta, have you been hit by any disaster?

"Yeah, I'm fine over here. Well, let's get to work."

Head to the kamadoku cabin behind the house as he greets the men gathered on the spot. The luggage car was pulled by Tour-Din, and the women, who had seen the workout, had followed it all. They were originally gathered for a study group.

And when it fell on the side of the mother house, there was a man who was working out a bar pull.

Realizing that one of them is his own father, he gives a voice that Thur-din played "Ah".

"Father Zey. Your father was here, too."

"Mm-hmm. You had a hard day, Toole"

Zei-Din chuckled to Tour-Din with a gentle look.

Tour-Din is also smiling happily.

"Ai-fa, is that a break? If you don't mind, I'd like to get back to you."

"Uhm. Later."

Ai-Fa was also secretly accompanying us. I'm sure he's going to moisten his throat with the water from the water bottle in Kamado's cabin.

Having arrived safely at Kamadu's cabin, I asked him to make a suggestion.

"Hey, if you like, can I have some chatch tea? Would you be more comfortable moisturizing your throat than room temperature water?

"... but can't it be a hoarding of work?

"It's not that much trouble. I'd like to distribute it to Din and Lid."

"Well," Ai-Fa smiled.

I nod and get ready for some chatch tea. I had the pride of being able to taste better these days than before because I also had more opportunities to drink this tea at dinner.

Ask other people to move on with their work. Tomorrow's commerce and the production of dried pasta, which we are working on putting aside for a few days. The number of people on schedule was still gathering today, so I was able to get that job going without delay.

I'll get to the task of simmering the chatch skin outside so I don't get in everyone's way. Tia was snuggling up to me perfectly, and I-Fa was hand-tuffed to soak up the sweat on her face and hands and feet.

It was Zei-din who had just broken up that got close there.

"Asta, did Fou's blood go down to Inn Town?

"Yes, I was joining the people in the lodging town, as planned."

"Right.... you can tell me what kind of gathering that was within tomorrow?

"Yeah. We were talking about communicating the contents of today's exchange to all families properly. It's small, but it's also something that we've never learned before."

"Uhm......" Crushing Zei-Din was a thoughtful face of sorts.

"What's up? Is there anything you care about?

"Oh. Toole is also invited to that gathering, so I'm wondering what kind of gathering it is. Of course, if it was a gathering that only the people of the woods deserved, it would be stopped, so I guess I don't have to worry about anything..."

"Yes, the six people who attended today's gathering will be able to identify them."

They also include the deposition-coolent Chim-Sudra and EA Fou Sudra, so you won't be able to pass on the wrong information. They should have been able to count on objective opinions for their poor interaction with the people of the town.

"It would be disturbing to send your family out to a gathering place of your own strangers. But the next time that gathering opens, I'll accompany you, too, so you don't have to show me anything."

When Ai-Fa snapped his mouth like that, Zei-Din lowered his mouth "Oh," he said.

"If we add Chim-Sudra and Joo-Run as far as Ai-Fa, we won't have to show them anything. At that time, I'd like to ask for a tour."

"Mm-hmm. We'll make sure Thur-din gets him back safely, too, I promise."

This gathering was told by Yumi that he wanted as young a human as possible to participate. As there are only young people on Yumi's side, I don't care if older people will enjoy it.

(Birdu-Fow also seems to have an idea that as young a person as possible should bond with the people in town, so that would have been just fine...... as a parent to send out, there would certainly be some worrying aspects)

Not to mention that Tour-Din is the youngest eleven years old among the participating members. Seeing as an adult by the woods would be from the permissible age of fifteen for the wedding, it was thought that Zei-din's concern would also be one.

"But I am delighted that Toole has been invited. Toole, who is invited to all the lodging towns or even the castle towns, will surely see and hear different things I don't know and walk through the rich raw. Sometimes it's hard... but I believe that Mother Forest will guide us right."

"Hmm. I'm thinking the same thing.... I'm sure Donda-Lou feels the same way"

That said, Ai-Fa also smiled softly.

The fact that Ai-Fa moves his expression in this way would be a sign of his open-mindedness towards Zei-Din.

"It seems to me that the people of Inn Town are a long way from the people of Forestside... but when I say that, the nobility of Castle Town is the same thing. Believe me, Tour-Din, who has also been able to connect the aristocrats with the right edge. I'm sure that's all she's got."

"... it would be so proud to have EY-FA say that"

Zei-Din also has a soft grin on his stern face.

I'm sure Zei-Din was originally compatible with I-Fa. This is how the unrivalled bond between Tul-din's father and I-Fa didn't make me feel warm.

(That gathering over there, when it was finally bad for the middle game? I wonder what the hell you're doing and having fun)

With that in mind, I decided to bring down the better boiled iron pan from my skin.

◇

The exchange in the Inn Town was a very meaningful gathering - it was in the morning of the following day that the newspaper was delivered to the house of Fa.

It was the women of the Fou family who came out to work in the morning that told me that. The family members who came back late last night said they were all "having fun" with their mouths shut.

"Chim and EA Fou said the same thing. He didn't break the laws of Genos or get attacked by outlaws."

Yun-Sudra, gathered at the same time, also stated so. The women of Run's house don't seem to have any words to add.

All six participants in the gathering shared the same view. Three days later, it appeared that a second exchange meeting had been decided to be held.

"... so, with regard to Joo-Run and Yumi, was it okay?

When I sneaked up on him, Yun-Sudra nodded "yes" with a rather obscure face.

"I was worried too, so I asked EA Fou to mind... but for once, it didn't seem to have come to a disturbing situation. The women of Fou and Run, who have feelings for Joo-Run, also seemed to be rightly bonding with Yumi and Ben."

"Oh well. Good for you, then."

I replied that way, but Yun-Sudra's expression remained unclear.

"But I still can't feel safe.... Whatever, I'm talking about Joo-Run."

"Haha. After all, Yun-Sudra doesn't trust Joo-Run."

"That's all there is to it. 'Cause it's Joo-Run, right?

That's how the work was going on, and from outside Kamadu's cabin, Ai-Fa made an offer for a little while.

"What's going on? If it's about yesterday, you've heard of Ai-Fa, too, right?

I was just wondering how Joo-Run was doing.

"After all, so is Ai-Fa. Yeah, so far, I don't think there's been any strange movement."

Yun-Sudra's concerns were reported within the last night.

"Really," Ai-Fa said, hissing a well-shaped eyebrow.

"Both Ai-Fa and Yun-Sudra seem to be never-ending worries. As far as I'm concerned, it doesn't seem like Joo-Run and Yumi are going to have such a tough relationship."

"I don't know. The Joo-Run one is a man who has never even spoken to me like that, right?

"'Cause if you were as attractive a bunch of women as I-Fa, you'd have to."

Ai-Fa slowly wielded her right arm as she dyed her cheeks.

Before it shakes down, I say, "I'm sorry."

"Besides, isn't Joo-Run all the more light-hearted? Even Gaz and Ratz men used to offer weddings to Ey-Fa, who had little interaction."

Now in no motion, I got my head stuck.

But as far as I'm concerned, I wanted to follow up on Joo-Run, even though he did have some flavor.

"Stay with me... anyway, I guess all this has to do is respect our feelings in person. I don't think either of those two would bring up a wedding story on such a light-hearted note, would they?

"Hmm. Anyway, can you trust Joo-Run that much?

"I want to trust you. I don't think Joo-Lan would look that easy because he seemed to really put his thoughts on I-Fa. So now, if Joo-Run seems to give Yumi his thoughts... I guess that means he's been so distracted that he can't help it anymore"

I let him answer like that, remembering the two of us laughing at each other for the fun of yesterday.

Whether that was a friendship between a man and a woman, or a pre-stage in developing into a sexual relationship, was only God's knowledge - but in any case, I strongly hoped that the two feelings would match only perfectly.
