"In short, I want to be trained as a hunter at Fa's house."
While I was finishing dinner at my mother's shop, Rau-Ray spoke with a sense of emotion.
Returning from the woods, Ai-Fa is listening to the words, with a cheek wand on one knee he stood up on. The face is, of course, no more than the top of the Buddha.
"You've heard about the power comparison of the harvest festival the other day, haven't you? This time I was soiled by Darum-Lou and Zida, and I could hardly get the name of a brave man. As the head of Ray's main house, this doesn't make my family feel any better! That's why we have to be more powerful than ever!
"... Gillan-Lillin and I don't think we've ever had the chance to get the name of a brave man that way. But that shouldn't be a disgrace to the hunter"
"Gillan-Lillin is a weirdo who used to challenge Donda-Lou and Dan-Lutim every time. But also this time, because Gillan-Lillin himself was the last brave man, he could not challenge Donda-Lou and others of the same brave man. But after he defeated me, Darum-Lou and Zida, he decided to defend the throne of the brave again! Making it, I guess that means I wasn't impudent!
"... there's such a good hunter hissing in Luu's blood that there's no reason to bother pushing him into Fa's house? You're in a period of rest, so you can train as much as you want."
"That's what I thought, until yesterday I was touring Lou and Rutim and Lilyn's house! So I was reminded of my weakness! Soon, I couldn't fathom myself at all!
Because I was sighing, I was supposed to raise my voice.
"By the way, who does that mean? Looks like it's not just Darum-Lou or Zida."
"Uhm! All eight of us have become brave this time! As well as Donda-Lou and Dan-Lutim, Giza-Lou, Dalm-Lou, Rudd-Lou, Sin-Lu and Gazlan Rutim were much stronger than before! Unless I beat them, I won't be a brave man forever!
Speaking as such, Rau-Ray has been looking energetic since just now. Rather than regretting it, it seems to be leapfrogging your chest toward a higher goal.
"Plus Zida and Mida-Lou! I could only beat them about once every three times at most, and I didn't have any hands or feet for Gillan-Lillin or anything like that! Now more and more, will the throne of the brave be distant?
"... so you don't need to stick to the name of the brave man that much. With you, aren't you one of the most powerful hunters in Luu's bloodline?
"Then who is a powerful hunter, me or you? Are you equipped with an eyesight that spots the power of others?
"... it's only a guess, not a proven story"
"So you're not willing to lose to me, are you? Actually, I'm losing to you too! That's why I thought it was good for the people I train!
Ai-Fa scratched her golden brown hair as she sighed several times.
"Even so, pushing against a house without blood is not a normal story.... No, if it's my free time, I don't have to do it with training. But what's the point of letting them stay in Fa's house for a few days?
"That's right, because I had a desire to deepen my ties with Fa's people. I've faced a lot of blood people in the last few days, so I thought it was time to deal with a non-blood person."
Only in clarity, Rau-Ray said so.
"Ray's house had previously lent Gene's house and family to each other. Between the smaller families, they should have lent each other their families in the same way. But since Fa's house only has two families, I guess none of the families could rent each other a family? Then this is the only way to deepen the bond"
"No, but..."
"Lately, I haven't had a chance to face Fa's person. By and large, Asta and others visit Luu's house as they do every day, but isn't it sloppy? Even I wish I could bond more with you."
So Rau-Ray turns to me.
"Soon, Dan-Rutim's birthday will come. You're going to go to Rutim's again that day, aren't you, Asta?
"Oh, yeah. Dan-Rutim told me to ask you to do it again this year..."
"You also have a deep bond with Rutim's house. But isn't Ray's house refreshing? I knew it, I thought it was sloppy!
"Because if the head of the main house stays in the house of a family that is not blood, etc., it would be an unparalleled act for the woodland lesson?
Ai-Fa argued resolutely, but it didn't change Lough Ray's pleasant look.
"What more is the man of Fa, who has crushed various old habits, saying? Should the people of the woods deepen their bonds with all their compatriots? You fa people are the ones I most want to deepen my bond with right now. So I just hope to stay for a few days. Is there something wrong?
"If you say it's weird, it's all weird. Don't you have feelings of reluctance or discretion?
Rau-Ray said, "No!" and proclaimed in high spirits.
Ai-Fa is dropping his shoulders disappointingly.
"I've been thinking for a long time... I'm getting older. I guess Dan-Rutim is more of a fighter than you are"
"Mm-hmm. They often say I look like Dan-Rutim when I was younger. Well, Ray and Rutim have been overlapping the edge of blood for a long time, so it's no wonder."
With that said, Rau-Ray glanced up his spine with his claws on.
"Well, good to see you in the next few days, Asta to Ai-Fa."
"Nobody's allowed you to stay yet!... hey, if a parent steps off the road, it would be the role of the family to flaunt it?
Yamil-Ray, who was helping me, looked back at I-Fa with a chilling face.
"Nobody can do anything to flatter that parent. Didn't you just find out about it?
"... so you want to sit in Fa's house too?
"Yeah, if you can't convince your parents."
Ai-Fa had a dark face and was doing his hand on his forehead.
Seeing that, Rau-Ray leans his little neck strangely.
"Why do you hate our stay so much? No way, you don't hate us, do you?
"... I don't like people who can't tell."
"Then I'll just have to make you like the rest of it!
Rau-Ray today seemed quite a formidable enemy. No matter how cold I = fa tries to thrust it, I smile back at it.
Originally, Lau-Ray is a short-circuited person. Sometimes I don't like it a little bit, it's a rather dangerous type of reflex. but I smile all day, and I don't look like I'm in a bad mood. When I considered why that was - apparently, to be in a perfectly good mood, leaping my chest to one of the major events of staying at Fa's house.
(If you're pressed with such an innocent face, I guess I'll have trouble dealing with that EY-FA too)
Anyway, Rau-Ray's driving force is his favor for me and Ai-Fa. As difficult as it was to jerk off the approaching puppy by waving his tail, Ai-Fa seemed to entertain Lau-Ray's presence.
"Besides, you told me earlier that if you had free time in your hand, you wouldn't have to do it with training? But that's not enough! From morning to midday, I want you to work out."
"Don't be stupid. I have a job at home."
"So I'll clean that up while you're in the woods. I would collect firewood and pico leaves at the edge of the woods even after Jomtien. And then there's the salary scale, drying the pico leaves, getting rid of the fur, making dried meat? Only dried meat may have to learn how to make it once again."
"Ah, in this neighborhood, my family makes dried meat together. Fa's house doesn't have many families, so you're paying copper coins to make up for it."
When I clasped my mouth, I was sneered at by Ai-Fa.
After all, Rau-Ray is laughing "well."
"These days, we've been talking about how to make dried meat. If you don't have to do the job, you're lucky."
"So you know how to make the original dried meat? And the way you smoothed the fur, you said it like you knew how."
"Naturally. Before I started training as a hunter, anyone would be helped with the work of those women."
"I see," I convinced.
So Ai-Fa hasn't learned how to manipulate the fur - probably because her mother returned her soul before she got that clue. Unbeknownst, I'm supposed to be snuggly.
"But if I had been accompanied by such training from morning to Jomtien, would my power have been exhausted"
"Nothing, Ai-Fa herself doesn't have to work with me. I asked Rud-Lu and Sin-Lu to help me train too, so I just need to see it and give me some advice."
"... I'm not your father or your brother, am I?
"I don't have a father or brother, and Ray's family doesn't have a stronger hunter than me. Until yesterday, I wanted you to take care of Lou and Rutim and Lilyn, so I want you to play that role tomorrow."
So Rau-Ray rubbed his seriously eyed face on his hiccups.
"With the joy of being able to stay at Fa's house, I might have seen him floating from earlier. But I really want to learn from you. I'm sure it was only with your advice that Sin-Lu was able to gain so much strength."
"That's not true. Sin-Lu originally had talent."
"It was you who brought out that sleeping talent. I was standing there, and I said," No mistake. "
Rau-Ray put his gripping right fist on the floor and rode himself out all the way to Ai-Fa.
"I have a heartfelt respect for you, a bunch of women, but with so much power. I want to be as strong as you.... Please help me, Ai-Fa"
A pale water-colored eye stares at Ai-Fa directly in front of him.
Even the same water color is completely different from Malfila-Naham or Mora-Naham, when it comes to hounds. Ai-Fa stared back into those eyes for a while before eventually spewing out the words with a sigh of sigh.
"... how long exactly is a few days?
"Right. Dan-Lutim's birthday will be such a rush for you, so let's just say it's not until that morning."
"So you've been there four days, including today.... do you swear to follow the Fa's house lesson during that period?
"Absolutely. Unless that touches the contraindications by the woods, we'll obey anything!
After about five seconds of pondering, Ai-Fa said in such a way that there was no more tannin.
"Okay.... let's acknowledge Rau-Ray's stay"
"Thank you! Thank you, Ai-Fa!
To Shaggurau-Ray, Ai-Fa adds, "But".
"Why do we have to stay, not just you, but even Yamil-Ray? He helps Asta do her job every day, so she's got enough ties, right?
"But I guess I've barely exchanged words with you? I want you and Yamir to deepen your bond."
Then Lau-Ray spilled his white teeth in a truly innocent way.
"And I don't want to be away from Yamir either. If I'm staying at Fa's, I can't leave him at home."
…………
"Besides, the people in the house still don't want to admit me and Yamil's wedding. If I vacate the house, I might try to wed another man in the meantime. What makes you imitate that?"
Ai-Fa had a face that looked extremely complicated and stole a look at Yamil-Ray.
"I'm not willing to say anything to the wedding of the extra house... but since you are the head of the main house, can I give you a wedding even if you disagree with your family?
"I want to bless my family with all my heart. If you take a long time, you'll have to convince them."
Instead of me, now Yamil-Ray spilled a sigh of sigh.
"Perhaps I will not give you a wedding with anyone forever. Well, I guess that's what the woods think."
"Don't be dramatic! No matter how long it takes, I'll convince him!
Where Rau-Ray declared it that way, the food was finally finished.
I'll leave the meal to Yamil-Ray and I'll pick up Tia in the bedroom.
"Thank you for waiting. Dinner's ready."
"Um. Are we done talking?
Tia was pulling herself into the bedroom because of something important. I held Tia's little body softly as I answered, "Right."
Standing up on the bedding, the tier leads up against the wall to the hall. The wound should still be painful, but I'm trying to move on my own whenever possible so that my body doesn't get lost.
That's how when Tia left the bedroom, Lau-Ray cheerfully said, "Oh."
"You kept me waiting, you red wildlings.... But you're still so crippled when you say it's been another month with a hand wound?
"Mm-hmm. If you can't move, the sticky meat is going to tear. Someone named Schmiral tells me not to move until the pain draws."
Tia took her hand off the wall, cautious as she was even putting it on a bucket with water in her head, and it was time to head to her seat.
According to the story of Schmiral who treated him, Tia's wounds were deep enough to scratch her ribs. So the wound reached from shoulder to hip, so it was like dozens of stitches. The amount of blood lost was not usual, and it was the view that a normal person would have been desperate on the spot.
"That's a difficult thing to do. But you've been so wounded to save Asta that all the people by the woods must be grateful."
"Tia only redeemed her sins, so there is no thankful sardine"
Thereafter, Tia looked back at me.
There is a grin and an innocent grin on his face.
"But Tia is also sincerely pleased that Asta is safe. When you look at Asta, you feel very happy."
I didn't even know what to answer, so I gave Tia a smile back with all my heart.
That's how Tia finally sits perfectly in her seat while everyone watches her.
"Okay, let's start dinner"
As Ai-Fa worded in his mouth, Rau-Ray twisted his neck in a cursory manner.
"Ey-fa, I can't hear the wording."
"Disgusting. This is Fa's house lesson. You guys do whatever you want."
"Right. That's an incredible lesson.... Thank you for the blessings of the forest, thank Asta and Yamir for setting the fire and get life tonight!
Rau-Ray closed his eyes and his voice worded aloud as well. Then I look around on the rug with my eyes shining in anticipation.
"Nevertheless, a sumptuous supper! In Fa's house, is it so extravagant every day?
"Yeah. That's how many items you always have."
"This alone was worth it for coming out to Fa's house!
To the smiling Lau-Ray, the faceless Yamil-Ray takes the dish apart. In Ray's house, is that how Yamil-Ray takes care of him every night? It was also quite a fresh sight.
Today, Omelette is being prepared as an outcome of the day study group. But that's not enough to fill the hunter's stomach, so he also picked up his favorite mashed chutch, a cream stew with plenty of ingredients, a Caesar salad made of Tino, and Rud-Lew, for a sautéed Western-style mackerel of giva meat.
"Hmm. You don't seem to find the baked poiton. You even use Chaska somewhere?
"Your answer. Chaska is hidden in these yellow eggs. Even at Ray's house, you could have bought Chaska, right?
"Mm-hmm. By now, my family would be talking about Chaska too"
Saying pleasantly, Rau-Ray mouths the omelet rice. The face sparkled.
"This Chaska tastes completely different! The colors are vermilion, and they seem to taste good!
"Yeah. I handled it at Lew's house, so one of these days Ray's house should know how to make it. Do you mind?
"Uhm, delicious!
It's Rau-Ray, who has a number of feasts, but this is almost the first time he's eaten across the street. What a smile it was that Rau-Ray, who stood as brilliantly as a girl, proceeded to eat with a smile.
"It's a Demiglass-style sauce hanging on top, with sautéed nanals and mushrooms. I didn't ask, but isn't there any ingredient I don't like for Lau-Ray or something?
"There's no way there's such a thing! Not to mention that any ingredient would be so delicious if it were in Asta's hands!
"Thanks, I'd love to hear you say it that way."
When I answered like that, I felt my gaze all the time.
Looking back, I'm scrubbing the cream stew, and I-Fa is screwing me on the side.
"... you're a lot of fun, Asta."
"Yeah, well, it's certainly a hiccup to face-to-face with Lau-Ray. We don't have much time to exchange words at a banquet."
In one way or another, I was accepting Rau-Ray's offer favourably. Even Rau-Ray is an important friend, so sometimes having a place to talk carefully like this doesn't make me happy after all. That would be a natural story.
But also, it's not like you don't understand how I feel about I-Fa. In short, I'm just thinking that I-Fa doesn't want to be interrupted by anyone else spending time with me. Not to mention if it were to be a stay, that must have been unwillingness, as the bedroom would have to be separated between men and women.
(And I guess I'm going to sleep with Yamil Ray.)
I snuck up on Yamil-Ray.
Yamil-Ray is eating faceless. Though not so cold faced, I knew the inside was hard to read. It is Yamir Ray, who does not take a crack at Ai-Fa for lack of affection.
That's how when you have a guest, Tia gets oligarchy too. Then, naturally, it seemed to settle for the result that me and Rau-Ray would be busy eating places and, as a result, I would be jealous of Ai-Fa.
"... Speaking of which, that man in the king's capital, Fermes, is very obsessed with Asta."
And while satisfying his exuberant appetite, Rau-Ray said such a thing to the lid.
"And I heard the reason it had something to do with Asta's origins. Is that the truth?
"Oh, yeah. Sounds like the fact that I'm called" The People Without Stars "by an astrologer has inspired his curiosity."
"Hmm. Is that the art of star reading? It's stupid to obsess with such things."
Rau-Ray, who has always been in a good mood, wrinkles around his nose. It is a dog-like manipulation that I smell even if it stinks.
"Whatever the astrologer wants, whether Asta is Asta or not? It can't be anything more important. A man of the king's capital is also a fool."
"Yeah. Sounds like Raw-Ray doesn't care about the star reading itself."
"Oh, I don't care. That astrologer made Yamir cry!
Without knowing what the word meant, I was supposed to compare the two names of the Ray family.
Yamil-Ray is frowning a lot, grinning at Rau-Ray.
"You pulled out a long time ago. You said that was just sand in your eyes, right?
"I'm not fooled by your lies. You were supposed to weep because of that astrologer. Absolutely not."
"Hey, wait a minute. Who the hell is that astrologer?
Rau-Ray replied after swallowing the sautéed giva meat.
"I forgot my name, but I'm a blind old man who was among those travelers. In the settlement of Lou, we would have had a feast together, right?
"Oh, you mean an old man named Lylanos. Did Yamil-Ray ask that guy to read the stars?
That was a lot of unexpected talk. Ai-Fa also looks at Yamil-Ray with a very ugly look.
"Because of him, Yamir was going to cry, and he was going to lie to me. After all, you shouldn't be involved in something so modest, like star reading."
"I'm persistent. Hey. Is it so hard to believe what your family is saying?
When Yamil-Ray discarded it that way, Rau-Ray grabbed her shoulder with such speed as electric light.
"Yamil, don't lie to the lies. By the woods, falsehood is a sin. If you don't want to expose yourself to the truth, keep your mouth shut, not speak falsehood."
Yamil-Ray looked back at Rau-Ray silently.
At the end of the day, I lay my eyes down.
"Okay, parent.... but if you're going to weigh the Forestside lesson, could you please let go of this hand?
"Hmm. I'm a family member of the same house without a blood connection, so I can't be guilty enough to speak up."
Saying so, Raw-Ray took his hand off Yamil-Ray's shoulder.
"Well, that's why. I stopped worrying about star reading. I don't think you should worry about astrologers or anything, Asta."
"Yeah. I'm not so concerned about what they say. I'm just impressed it's amazing."
That's what I said, and I made Rau-Ray laugh.
"Whatever the astrologer tells you, as Rau-Ray just said, I'm me. If Rau-Ray thinks the same way, I'd love to."
"It's not just me, it's all my brothers and sisters by the woods. Hey, it's Ai-Fa, right?
"Hmm. Naturally."
Ai-fa's been staring at me, so I made her laugh at you, too.
That's how everyone at the woods says it, so I can walk the path I believed in without getting lost. Whatever name the astrologer called me, I am Asta of the house of Fa, a people by the woods - and I was once again happy to believe that it was right.
