601 Twenty-eighth day of the Blue Moon ① ~ In the castle town ~

Day passes, the 28th of the Blue Moon.

We were invited to Castle Town for a tea party, and we were to rendezvous with Tour-Din first, then head over to Run's house.

Even the house of Run is rebuilding a new house. Although there was only one house that collapsed, there were only six hunters in the run, so progress seemed to be lagging behind the Lew family.

"Oh, it's time for you to leave. It's time for us to start getting hungry."

Lan's parents, who were carrying Marutai, smiled and greeted him. It was Masa Fou-Run, once the second brother of the Fou main house and bow master, who was helping it.

"Joo-Run, the Ai-Fas are here to pick me up. Get ready now."

"Yes, I'm ready"

From the side of the house being rebuilt, Jou-Run, with a knife and a hunter's coat, rushed out with the mundane. And Jou-Ran was appointed as an escort by the family of Fou.

"Nice to meet you today, Asta to Ai-Fa. And Tour-Din."

"Umm," he nodded back, while Ai-Fa looked back at Lan's parents.

"So do you mind if I take care of the hounds in Fa's house? And I brought Zilbe with me."

"Is Zilbe the one named that watchdog? Two or three are no different. Until Ai-Fa returns from Castle Town, let's keep it."

When Ai-Fa whistled humbly, three dogs stepped out of the carrier.

Brave and Zilbe, and have been the family of Fa's house for four days now, is Durmour.

Durmour seems to mean 'malaise arrow' in the old word.

And I checked with Schmiral, and he said it was extremely close to Sim's words.

In the first place, examples were seen of the use of eastern words to name names, such as Jidula and Mim Char, by the forest. I guess it was a blatant fact that half of the old words passed down to the woodside were similar to Sim. That too, given the roots of the people by the woods, might have been a natural story.

"We and the women are getting used to treating dogs. Don't worry about anything, just do your job."

Lan's parents, laughing at Brave and others, said so.

Even in the house of Lan, he was able to give the hounds safely: of the 37 families, the hounds were not assigned: Sudra and Lilyn, and the three families of Thamul, the families of Sauti.

The three families are to be assigned priority next time the hounds are delivered. And the story was that it had already been told by Schmiral's mouth that Jagal's hounds would be ready to pick them up even twice as many this time.

Apparently, it is the inquirer who is visiting Genos, and the person is gathering hounds from hounds throughout Jagal. After exchanging testimonies of trafficking in the presence of the Marquis de Genos, the person was happy to make a small leap.

Okay, let's go.

Under the decree of Ai-Fa, Gilr's luggage car leaves Lan's house.

The next goal is the settlement of Luu. Reaching there, the men had already partitioned themselves into the task of reconstruction, and had eaten at noon meals.

"Yo, Asta to Ai-Fa. Is this Castle Town coming up?

Rudd-Lou, who was scrubbing the juice dish of a wood dish, calls out with a smile. It is a noise as if it were a feast, laying a rug in the middle of the hall.

"Yeah, good luck over there. Looks like you've got a lot of new houses."

"Oh, it's almost half a month since the ground tremor. In a few days, you'll be able to live there."

Saying it that way, Rudd-Lou banged Mida-Lou on the back of the straw.

"Mida-Lou helped this time, didn't he? I've just built a house on my own."

"Yeah...... we all owe it to Lyada-Lu...?

Mida-Lou looks happy, shivering the flesh on his cheeks. Speaking of which, Mida once built her own home by herself to build strength.

In doing so, it was Lyada-Lou, who now has four guests living in the house with Dalm-Lou and Sheila-Lou. Once the Guests' new home is complete, they will be able to enjoy their newlyweds again without water.

"Ah! Ey-fa, you're here! You can always get out of the rim!

And Rimi-Lou, who was helping with the catering job, came running with a smile on his face. I nod there "um" and then I call on Donda-Lou, who was in formation in the center of the rug.

"Then I'll keep Rimi-Lou. Is it okay for Tia to keep it on this occasion?

"Oh. I hope I can do my job safely"

Donda-Lou said so gravely with a majestic voice.

Limi-Lew looked back at you and said, "Come on! ♪ And he's probably waving.

"Bye. You should be able to go home sooner than usual, so Tia's making a big deal out of it, too, right?

"Uhm. I hope no disaster approaches Asta"

Saying it with a serious face, Tia sat up on the rug.

Saying goodbye to the Rudd-Lou and others, too, is a departure of sorts.

"Um... after work, will I be allowed to stop by Accommodation Town?

If the luggage car goes out on the road and starts running lightly, Jou-Ran said so.

Ai-fa, who held the reins at the table of your servants, says, "No."

"The rest period is over. With you, there might be a giva hunting job waiting for you by the woods?

"Yes, yes, that's true... I was wondering if I could spare a little time if the work in Castle Town was to be done sooner..."

"I have no discretion to allow that, and I hope to return to the woods soon. If you had that idea, you should have told Lan's parents in advance."

"... ok. I will follow the words of I-Fa."

So Joo-Run was to take a deep sigh.

Looking at the appearance, Rimi-Lou tilted his neck properly.

"Hey, hey, you're Joo-Run from Run's house, right? Maybe you wanted to meet Yumi?

"Ah, yes. After the ground tremor, I hadn't looked at you yet, so I wanted to at least have one look at you safely..."

"Well, I'm sorry to hear that! But Yumi's fine, so I don't think she needs to worry!

After saying so, Rimi-Lou smiled with a grin.

"And Yumi seemed to want to see Joo-Run so badly! I hope the feast starts soon!

One of Yumi's cases was on the agenda at the Conference of Parents, so it now led to a common perception of all forestside people.

Besides, Limi-Luu goes down to the lodging town all the time, so Yumi and I are also friends. If Rimi-Lou is sensitive to the finesse of a person's mind, Yumi's mood should also have been a prospect.

That's how the luggage car arrives in the lodging town.

Now it is half the hour of the ascent. Usually, it fits around the time when we can start trading stalls in half an hour. When I peeked into your face from the side of the podium, the people of the south walking in from the front said, "Oh?" I rounded my eyes.

"What's going on? We were supposed to talk about not opening a stall today, weren't we?

"Ah, yes. Hey, I have another business to attend to today..."

"What, is that so? Happily lost."

The people of the south dropped their shoulders disappointingly and went too far down the street.

Ai-Fa, who was walking with Gill's reins, looks at me on the side.

"Asta, shouldn't you not show your face in a groan?

"Hmm. I wonder if so. I just wanted to say hello to Dora's dad."

"Uh, Rimi wants to say hello to Tara too!

"The outdoor area is still ahead. If you see Dora and the others, speak up, so keep them company until then."

Me and Limi-Lew decided to honestly scratch my face.

Then Joo-Run turns a quiet eye.

"The Astas can say hello to the passing, can't they? I'm very jealous."

"Oh, yeah. I wish Westwind Pavilion was along the main street."

But it is the back street that has the Westwind Pavilion, and I don't know if Yumi is home in the first place. Yeah, I guess that's why I didn't allow Ai-Fa to stop by the Westwind Pavilion either.

(Then you should have even met Yumi. this guy did something sorry)

But Yun-Sudra should have told Yumi that Joo-Lan was chosen as his escort. I was training for Malfira-Naham, so I didn't join the conversation.

(If it wasn't for this opportunity, you two wouldn't even be able to face each other. Then it's hard to deepen the bond)

When I thought about it that way, from outside the luggage car, I said, "Hmm?" I could hear Ey-Fa.

"What the hell are you doing in a place like this?

"Oh, no... let me say hello."

At that moment, Joo-Run showed his physical ability as a hunter and rushed to your table.

"Yumi! I didn't expect to see you!

Of course, I knew the Lord of that voice was Yumi. A peek in the face following Jou-Run reveals Yumi walking alongside Ai-Fa.

"You look fine and most importantly, Yumi! I hear the house and the family are safe, but were you sure you were okay?

"Oh, yeah, sort of.... That was okay, wasn't it?

"Yes! One house has been crushed, but me and my family are all safe!

After comparing Yumi walking next door to Joo-Run riding himself out of the side of your podium, Ai-Fa stopped the luggage truck.

"Damn, you're such a mess. If there's anything you want to talk about, you can get in the van."

"Yeah? 'Cause I can't get into a castle town."

"You can't take me to Castle Town. But it won't be long before we get out of Inn Town."

When Ai-Fa said so, Yumi came aboard the carrier the way she had decided to.

When I = fa restarts the forward, the luggage car starts to shake again. With his hands on the wall and his body supporting him, Yumi has looked around at us.

"Uh, I'm sorry. I'm just here to say hello.... Can I interrupt you until you get out of town?

"Of course," I smiled back.

Joo-Run and Limi-Ruw are also grinning at the full face, and Tour-Din is smiling naughty. Yumi was slightly blushing her cheeks, surrounded by our smiles like that.

"Hey, you're in Castle Town today, and you're invited to meet him for tea. On my day off, it's hard."

"Yeah! The Castle Town can only be reached once in a while, so Rimi was looking forward to it!

After stating so, Limi-Lu looked back at Joo-Run better.

"But I come to Inn Town all the time. Wouldn't Yumi like to talk to Joo-Run?

"Yes, I would be very happy to have you do that"

Joo-Run is smiling and smiling in an innocent way. Yumi, on the other hand, was set to blush more and more.

"Hey, what are you laughing at like an idiot? I just came to say hello!

"Do I look stupid? I'm just glad I met Yumi."

On top of the fact that falsehood is sin, Jou-Ran is my pace and honest temper. Yumi looked like a shame squirt and was wearing her head.

(I guess Yumi even listened to the carving limit we were headed to Castle Town and waited for us on purpose. Then I'll have to let you chat)

It is about time that the outdoor area is closed, so the time left is only a few minutes. I decided to lift my hips, looking at Yumi's red face.

"Well, it should be time for Dora's dad's shop. I'm just gonna say hi."

"And Limi! You know, why don't we go with Tour-Din?

"Ah, yes. Okay."

"Hey, hey! Everybody get out of the van!?

"Yeah, take your time, Yumi."

We opened the front of the rear and stepped down from there to the ground. As he hurries around to the front with his feet, Ai-Fa creeps in.

"Oh, my God, I haven't seen Dora's yet."

"Yeah, but, well, with our eyes, Yumi's gonna be very careful."

That's how I go about walking, and eventually I see your father's outdoor shop. Even after I said hello to your father and Tara, of course we never got back on the carrier.

The day is much higher, so the outdoor area is quite busy. Sometimes people I knew would speak to me, so when I was returning my greetings to you, I quickly reached the edge of the boarding town.

Instead of the Blue Sky Dining Room, where the no-entry rope is strewn, Ai-Fa stops the luggage. Then, a few seconds later, Yumi jumped off the carrier.

"Already! Why isn't anybody coming back! Don't freak out!

"That's good. You can always talk to us."

Yumi, who stepped down the street, remained a red face after all.

He scolds me with resentment as he brings up his long brown hair.

"Then I'll go home! Try not to get hemmed at best!

And it came to pass, that Yumi ran down the way that he had come.

Ey-fa's gaze makes us go back to the carrier.

"I'm back. Did you and Yumi have a nice chat?

"Yes! But I couldn't speak up at all. Tomorrow is the city of meat again, so I'd like to exchange words then."

"Yeah? But from Madhual's Square to Westwind Pavilion, there's a lot of distance."

"Yes, so you promised me Yumi would come to the square"

Joo-Run has no better illumination at all, and he is just smiling with a smile.

In the meantime, Ai-Fa, who boarded the platform, lightly runs Gilr. Jou-Ran lay down his words further as he let himself down to the vibration.

"To be honest, I haven't been able to determine my mood yet. But exchanging words with Yumi is so much fun, it makes my chest jump. … and today I was reminded to make how much I wanted to exchange words with Yumi"

"Oh, well. When you just listen, your mind feels completely set."

"Yes, but the parents are strictly pressed not to have a floating feeling until they are so ready.... Yumi must be trying to find the right path with the same feeling"

After stating it that way, Joo-Run narrowed his eyes with a dust.

"I also want to live right in my heart so that I can show my mother's forest and my father's Western God the right way. I'd be very happy to see Asta and the others."

"Yeah, of course. I sincerely hope the right path opens up for both of you."

No matter how my-paced Joo-Run is, he'll never say he wants to give Yumi and his wedding etc. in a light-hearted way. I could have believed that.

Then a while later, the luggage was promptly stopped.

We arrived at the castle gate in Castle Town. Looseness was still left in the carving limits of the promise, but the Totos car of the Marquis of Genos was already waiting in front of the bounce bridge.

"I've been waiting for you. Please move to this car. We'll take care of your totoss and your car."

Visiting the castle town is roughly the first time in a month since the study group, which was to have Chaska in its hands. But this many times, we were more familiar with it.

To be honest, I also wonder if I don't need an escort or something anymore. But the people by the woods are not all aware of the situation in the castle town, nor have they even walked in town on their own feet yet. It was the general thrust of the three chiefs that they should continue to serve as escorts because they do not know where any threat is lurking.

(Well, certainly, it's not necessarily the absence of a nobleman hostile to the people of the woods... because in the future the auditors of the Wang Capital may reside there. After all, should I be careful?)

If the itinerary is going well, it should be time for Melfried to arrive in King's Capital. What discussions will be exchanged there and what decisions will be made? At the moment, the situation was still unforgivable.

"We have arrived. This way please."

While I was thinking about that, the door to the Totos car opened.

It was guided by the white stone palace, also known as Swan Palace, as before. Jou-Run, his first visit, looked around uncommonly.

The lead is baton touched from a martial officer to his lowest surname and guided to the bathroom first. After cleaning myself up in a steam bath for the first time in a month, I was led to the summoning room, which is the usual dressing time.

Jou-Ran, who had been spoken to beforehand, was working on getting dressed with a face that looked fun.

"I see, this is a monstrous outfit"

The hunter of the escort is haunted by the attire of a white martial artist.

It was quite the second one, and the outfit looked just as good on Joo-Run, who had a smooth body. As a hunter by the woods, he looks very elegant because he is the type who does not put his power on the table.

"You look great. I just wanted to show it to Yumi."

"To Yumi? Why is that?

"I don't know why they say it... but I was wondering if I could find it unusual."

"Really?" Joo-Run was tilting his neck.

Well, the men don't usually wear them, so I guess they don't come too pinned. For the men by the woods, the hunter's clothes are the only proud outfit.

That's how I go out in the corridor and wait, and eventually the women show up, too.

Ai-Fa is a white attire of martial arts officers, just like Jou-Ran, and Tour-Din and Limi-Luu are the outfits of a samurai, when they are apron dresses.

Seeing those appearances, Joo-Run circled his eyes, "Oh".

"I see... I think I understood Asta's words a little. From Ai-Fa, you get a different kind of pride than you usually do."

"Yeah, right? I think Joo-Run is more than beaten."

"Is it? I don't think it quite seems like the Rin of Ey-Fa......"

Ai-Fa had a sinister face and abandoned it as "obnoxious".

It was Sheila who came in with a thorough foothold from behind it. Also this time, I hear she helped me put on the eye-fa.

"We will guide you during your refrain because there is a little time to loosen up. This way please."

With Shayla's guidance, we started walking down the corridor.

Although Komiya, it is a building of considerable size, and the construction is quite mixed. While walking very casually, Ai-Fa seemed to be carefully looking around.

"... this building doesn't seem to be affected by ground tremors, either"

"Yes. In Castle Town, there was no significant damage either. … Is the only damage about the collapse of the prison hall that housed the sinners"

As she walks, Shayla breathes softly.

"To Princess Lifreia, I'm sorry to hear that. But I hear you're very excited to meet Asta and everyone by the woods today."

"Yes, I'm looking forward to it too"

Shayla stopped and pointed to the door on the flank.

"This will be between refraining. When you are all gathered, I will speak to you."

At that time, a shitty tone called Gashan echoed from somewhere.

Ai-Fa and Joo-Run put their fingertips on the sword pattern and scissors the three Kamadu numbers. Shayla had a decent face and looked around.

"You seem to have broken a vase or something somewhere. The Swan Palace is under strict protection, so don't worry about anything."

At the end of the story, he said, "Are you kidding me!" The fury was covered.

Shayla looks a little, looking back behind us. There was also a door, and the voice was heard from there.

"Um, isn't that the voice of Deal right now?

"Dear Dear Dear Deal...? Oh, you're the lady from Jagal's iron hardware store. Yes, indeed, Dear Deal should have been invited to today's Tea Party..."

and Shayla, with an anxious face, entered in front of that door.

"But... it should be Alishna, the astrologer, who is resting in this room"

Alishna, like Dial, had been invited to a tea party.

From the door, the voice of Dial is being heard with a slight crease. It was toned down more than just now, but it still seemed no different to being angry.

"Hey, why don't you check on me for a second? I'm worried because I'm being kind to both of you."

"You two were born in the south and east... one moment please"

Shayla must have knocked on the door of the problem while pulling the surface together.

"Excuse me. Was there something wrong, Master Alishna?

There was no reply, and Dial's anger never stopped.

Shayla has such a pressing face that she finally puts her hands on the door.

"Excuse me, sir."

As Shayla pulled the door open, it happened that Dial's voice gained momentum and jumped into our ears.

"Say something! Did you kill Leflaia's father?

Behind the room, I saw Deal and Arishna.

Dial is turning his back on this one and grabbing Arishna's chest. Instead, the offering Larvis stood like a stone statue, with crushed scattered vases, water and colourful flowers scattered unbroken at the feet of the people.

"Dear Dear Deal! What are they doing?

As Shayla tried to step in with the way she looked up, Dial didn't even look back at this one and said, "Shut up!," he yelled back.

"The one that doesn't matter is pulling in! I'm talking to this guy!

"… Alishna is a customer of Eurifia. And have you forgotten that it is a great contradiction for the people of the South and East to contend in the West Territories?

Shayla, who is usually laid back, responded that way with perseverance.

"If you can't follow these words, you're going to call a guard...... are you sure?

"Ma, wait, Shayla. Would you let me talk to him? That way, we might be able to stop the noise."

That's what I said.

In fact, I wasn't sure I was going to make a scene. But it was decided that this was a story that should not be allowed to touch the other's ears as much as possible.

"It's me and I-Fa, and I'll listen. So if there's nothing I can do, I'll ask for help, so can you wait outside until then?

Shayla had a lot of troubled faces, but eventually she said to me, "I understand."

"If you need anything, call me right away. I will refrain before the door."

"Yes, thank you"

As I stepped indoors, I also laid eyes on Joo-Run before following him and closing the door.

As we approach, Larvis stands loose.

"What can I do for you? I don't condone disrespect for Dear Deal."

"There's no disrespect or flattery. Can I assume that Deal is going to be kicked out of Genos?

Then Dial looked back at us, too.

Its emerald green eyes are burning badly, even though she is in a blue dress and wears beautiful ornaments on her short hair.

"What the fuck! Asta has nothing to do with this! Hit me!

"It doesn't matter. You're both dear friends, and I'm a clean Genos people."

From Larvis' disappointed side of his body, I let him answer like that.

"Deal, aren't you making a scene like that about Arishna's astrology? Then that's something that Marquis Marquis Marquis Genos can't overlook."

That's how I judged it, and that's why I've only been with Ai-Fa.

I only told Ai-Fa and Donda-Lou about the "even story" Alishna told me. Neither by the woods nor in the boarding town, I thought it should be spread any further.

Of course, although the story was to be well known to the Trinity chiefs and the parents of Badu-Fou and Baim, it could not weigh on Alishna's words, which were blurring authenticity, nor could it be conveyed to his fellow countrymen otherwise, having been judged dangerous to spread his reputation.

"Just stay calm and tell me what's going on. That way, they won't call the guards."

"Can you calm down! This guy... this guy killed Lefreia's father!

With that said, Dial turned back to Arishna.

"You foresaw the ground tremor, didn't you? So you didn't even foresee that Refraia's father was in danger? So if you didn't hit him with any hands, it's just like you killed him! That guy was definitely a big sinner, but... for Refraia, he was just one father!

"Wait, Deal. Whatever foresight you had, I guess you can't move the Genos people to Arishna -"

So Arishna snapped low, "It's okay," she said.

Alishna is tall, so she can't find her face on Deal's head. Arishna was a face with a missing emotion as usual and seemed to quietly look back on Dial.

"I, circumstances, would like to talk to you. Can you listen to me, Deal?

"What the fuck! How are you gonna get away with this?

"Yes. I, an astrologer, but I don't foresee people's deaths. It's a big danger, because I know it."

Alishna's voice was very quiet.

Those black eyes also feel as quiet as a lake at night.

"It's also, my grandfather, a will. My grandfather, the lord's death, because I foresaw it, Sim, I was banished. It only creates an inescapable fate, reading and tragedy. So I, the death of a man, do not foresee."

"But -!"

"Of course, there is, in all likelihood, a death of a person, a foresight. Big stars, when they disappear, star charts, they change dramatically, so they really, really get to know each other. But...... cycleus, the fate of decline, there was. Cycleus, the starlight, it was very weak. So I, the calamity of Genos, even if I had foreseen it, the death of Cycleus, nothing to know,"

Dial kept his mouth shut, shaking his idle shoulder.

Alishna stares back at it.

"Also, the fate of doom, avoiding it, is very difficult. Sims, even the lord, his fate, to evade, it didn't. Even if Cycleus' death, foresight, let's escape, thought, was difficult, I think. That's why people die, they should foresee, they don't."

"... I'm sure that's the same story about being able to foresee a major earthquake, but there's no way to stop it"

Dial won't open his mouth, so I let him talk.

"I'm an amateur when it comes to astrology, so I can't say anything that sounds great... but if you can avoid people's deaths with astrology, that should be more important in every kingdom. At least I don't think Alishna's grandfather was expelled from his hometown."

After a moment of silence, Dial said in a squeezing voice.

"The hard part is, I don't know.... So you didn't foresee the death of Cycleus...?

"Yes. Father Oriental God, I swear. I, Cycleus, have not died, foreseen,"

Dial's hand broke away from Alishna's chest.

A shoulder wrapped in a blue dress is dropped disappointingly.

"Then say so from the beginning... you sound like an idiot to me..."

"I'm sorry. You, the power, the surprise, the head, didn't turn."

"Where is it? You've been looking at me for a long time."

Deal thus bowed his head deeper to Arishna.

"I'm sorry. I heard rumors that you were foreseeing that earth tremor... so I got blood on my head. I thought you might have killed Lefreia's father..."

"It's okay. You, Refraia, are friends, so I think so, naturally."

Alishna nodded small, with no expression at all.

"And misunderstandings, solved things, I'm very happy, I think. Me, you, dear love, I have."

"Ya, stop it. South and east, hostile countries, right?

"Yes, but the West Lands, if any, can hold hands, is possible"

Dial looked around at the fragments of the scattered vase at his feet as he put his nose head on.

"I need you to clean this up. Larvis, can you get someone outside?

"Oh, wait a minute! Before that, where did Deal hear about the astrology? I think that was a secret story..."

Dial nodded, "Yeah," when I said that.

"I know. The king of Selva hates the trick of making things worse, so he won't allow you to weigh the consequences of astrology, will he? But I guess it's just rumours everywhere that I can't pee. I was taught that by a businessman named Castle Town."

"Really? I was wondering if it would be all right if the people of the king's capital were to come again."

"It's okay," she replied, "it was Arishna.

"Secret, defensive, difficult, but Marquis Genos, okay, he said. Otherwise, I wouldn't have even been allowed to talk."

"Yeah, well, this guy's been insisting on even talking about it, and that's got me extra in my head. Well, I'm sorry about this one."

With that said, Deal saw Arishna on the lookout.

"... you can't even tell the Marquis of Genos about this?

"I won't. You, dear love, have it."

With only an emotionless voice, Arishna had just stated so.

"However, I hope this story, as much as possible, is out of mouth legal. Marquis Genos, I hope so."

"Yeah, I got it."

When Deal quietly nodded, the door was knocked from the outside.

"Um, Master Asta... it looks like your lady has arrived, what shall we do...?

It was Shayla's voice.

Apparently, we're running out of time to step in while we hold off.

"Well, shall we go? Change your mind, and Dial will enjoy the tea party."
