705 Accommodation town exchange, once again ① ~ endless wishes ~

After Dan-Rutim's birthday, the black moon finally sees an end.

But there are still events left. The rest of the days of the black moon passed from here in a rush with all the climax.

Decorating the Great Tri of the Black Moon is an exchange between the Luu bloodline and the youth of the lodging town.

It was naturally Rudd-Lou who was elected captain of that important mission. Originally a casual personality, Rudd-Lou, who had already been intimate with the people of a number of residential towns, was supposed to bring in the blood folk to visit the residential towns day after day.

Lew had a far greater number of people taking part in the event, either because of the large number of blood clans or because Fou's blood clan was taking it away. For four days, from the 27th to the 30th of the Black Moon, more than ten humans arrived every day to explore the backstreet shops with guidance from Yumi, to work on on-board play and training for transverse whistles in the square, and to deepen the interaction in various ways.

By the way, speaking of the family of the Lew main house, the four sisters were in on a daily basis. Giza-Lou said he planned to visit the Dora family later, so this participation met. I'm sure that's because the desire to be by Sati Ray-Luu worked as much as possible.

So - Sin-Luu was to be present on the day Lara-Luu joined, Tara on the day Limi-Luu joined, and Darm-Luu on the day Sheila-Lu finally joined, respectively. That was within my assumptions, but it was a psychological blind spot for me that even Schmiral came on the day Vina-Lou participated.

"Even Schmiral is a family of Lew's blood. That's not a funny story, is it?

Rudd-Lou and others had freshly stated that.

Well, if it's Yumi or Ben's, I already have a feast with Schmiral. Besides, how Schmiral became a family by the woods was hustled and hustled by Yumi and others, so how Schmiral ascended with the eastern people-like appearance did not surprise the young people of the lodging town.

"But if it were you, I wouldn't need guidance. If you're from the east, you know all the way to the back of Innkeeper Town.

That's what Yumi said that day when he came to the stall to show his face.

Relative to that, Schmiral can flatter his mouth with "yes".

"Purpose, you, to be intimate, to deepen. Please, thank you."

Yumi, who was looking up at Schmiral's face, was to round his eyes with it.

"Heh... I feel like I've never seen you laugh clearly like that before. You're not from the east anymore, so I'm sure you're not surprised."

"Yes. I, the people of the west, the people of the woods. So we try not to hide our emotions."

"That's right. But you have a nice, pleasant face! Then it's only natural for Vina-Lou to crap."

It goes without saying that Vina-Lou, who was secretly flirting, blushed. When Vina-Lou flattered silently, Yumi laughed "I'm sorry," without a bad laugh.

"Well, let's go! If you calm down in the square, let me listen to you two!

"There's nothing to talk about, no more..."

Again, with Schmiral, Vina-Lou seems to have more chances of twisting herself in shame.

But that figure gave me a great sense of security. I haven't had a chance to have a feast with the Luu family lately, so I couldn't even feel what the vibe was like with Vina-Lu and Schmiral.

The look of Schmiral smiling calmly and Vina-Lou blushing beside him makes it seem like he looks good from anywhere. The reality that we're going to be separated in less than three months is also dropping a dark shadow - at least, I can't feel it on the surface. The other day, I was the one who just wished Dick-Dom and Morn-Rutim a happy ending, but this time again, I couldn't help but have the same thoughts.

"... hey, are you listening to me, Asta?

and cargo calls from the other side. I was originally speaking with him.

"Yeah, I'm listening. What's wrong with Sin-Lu?

"That's why I was supposed to play matches with Sin-Lu yesterday. So, I almost lost. He's so strong!

"Oh, I see. I guess I've gained a lot of experience in the last few months because it looks like on-board play has become quite popular in the Lou family as well. By the way, I think I'm dealing with the neighbors when I'm free."

"Wow, I was so strong from the start that I kept my arms up. Right. I'm not fooling around, either."

In this way, the interaction was deepening.

So this was a Lu tribe event, so I was initially a silent person, but on the last day of the closing, I was to be heard. On that day, he sat until night and went to the Westwind Pavilion, so he asked me to join him after the stall business.

Of course I could have asked Ai-Fa to accept the offer.

And there Joo-Run was also to give him a name.

"If you want to come to Westwind Pavilion, I'd love to come with you!

Words were passed from Jou-Run to Lan's parents, from Lan's parents to Birdu-Fou, and from Birdu-Fou to Donda-Lou, and that was to be accepted. Ai-Fa and Jou-Ran took the day as a half-hour and later reached the stage where they would rendezvous in the square.

That's how I welcomed you, the thirtieth day of the black moon.

Yumi picked us up in anticipation of the deadline for the end of the stall business. There are four of us going out from here: me, Raina-Lou, Yamir-Ray and Zwei-Lutim. All three of them peeking at me were today's first participation.

"Well, I'll be there. I'm sorry, but I need you to do your job."

"Yes, have fun."

While Yun-Sudra and Thur-din were watching us, we were set to roll out to Inn Town.

Yumi laughs cheerfully as she walks off the lead.

"The Astas are off the day after tomorrow, right? Then you should have stayed till night, shouldn't you?

"No, I'm planning on interrupting Dora's dad's house tomorrow. I really needed it the day before my holiday because I wanted to stay there."

When I responded that way, Yumi hit her hand, "Oh, shit."

"Speaking of which, Rudd-Lou said it that way, too.... I'm heading out to Dalaim again for Easter. And of course, on Easter, everyone in the Lew family is coming to visit, right?

and Yumi's gaze is turned to Raina-Lou.

Rayna-Lew was smiling and responding, "Right."

"The Lew family is not a rest period by then, so the men won't be able to peel as often as they did last year... but they will also need escorts when opening the stalls at night, and someone will be going down to town"

"I'm looking forward to it, Easter! It feels like we've been getting along with everyone around the woods since then. I'm really excited about this year."

Raina-Lou nodded with such pleasure, "Me too".

In contrast to those two, Yamil-Ray and Zwei-Rutim are silent with no expression. These two names were not of their own accord, but were supposed to attend an exchange meeting at the parents' behest. They are both passive types for interacting with the rest of us, so I guess they genuinely want to go home.

(Well, I guess that's why I was able to tell you to join me)

That's how we chilled out the outhouse and the cathedral on the back street, while we headed to the Plaza de Vaillas.

In the square, a rather unusual vibrancy swirls. Well, there are only ten forestside people and about three times as many young people in the lodging town, so I guess that's a natural story too. There was a circle of people here and there, and it was like they were encouraging on-board play, transverse whistles and bickering.

"Yo, tired. It's the same here."

And, Rudd-Lou smiles and drops by here. Even though this is already the fourth day of the Exchange, it is a really enjoyable smile.

"I'm glad Yamil-Ray is here. Rau-Ray's about to make a scene, so why don't you take care of him?

"... it's a lot of fun to hear as soon as you get here. My parents, what are they saying?

"No, the Raw-Ray one, he's been trying to play matches with Cargo. Still, I've lost five times in a row."

There, he said, "Wow!" I heard a familiar voice. One of the rings of people formed in the square spreads like flowers open. What could be seen from that gap was the appearance of Rau-Ray, with his head squeezed with both hands.

"Lost again! How can you lose all this!? Until the middle of the day, I'd have been better off!

Cargo sitting across the street answering something, but I can't even hear that voice. We decided to head that way for a small run.

"This will break the name of the Ray family! Hey, one more fight, please!

Yamil-Ray had a cold face and snapped the back of his parents' head.

Looking back, Rau-Ray said with his gaze when he was a hound, "Oh!" and bark.

"You're finally here, it's Yamil! Listen, you can't win a match at all!

"I heard you just now. You're not even stronger at Ray's house."

"That's why I've never lost five times in a row! You can't go back home with all this shame on you!

"Thinking of something like that as a disgrace is about you. That cargo is supposed to be strong with a finger fold among the people gathered here, so it's natural that you can't win."

Then Cargo looked up at Yamil-Ray and laughed happily.

"You remembered my name. He's happy."

"... with all those faces in the street, I'll remember your name."

Besides, they should have interacted quite a bit at the feast. The nasty noise surrounding Mida-Lou is still strongly impressed.

"Fine, you chill your head. The training of Fa's house doesn't seem to be helping at all."

"That's hunter training! It has nothing to do with games!"

and that's where Lau-Ray tilted his little neck.

"... no, speaking of which, this play can also be training as a hunter, etc., some of you freshly stated. Then maybe..."

Rau-Ray thought for a while before looking back at the cargo with tremendous momentum.

"Hey, one more battle, please! Maybe we can win this time!

"Then it's just another battle. I want to deal with the others, too."

That set the two against each other again.

Side by side with Yamil-Ray biting his sigh off, I turn my gaze around.

The people of the woods, and the people of the city of lodging, are gathered together only young men. Is the average age a little lower than mine? It is only natural that Yumi's friends are young, and the side of the woodland is this kind of facial rash because it is the young human being who should broaden his horizons.

Few other people know their names, as only Rud-Ruh and Raina Ruh are participants in the Ruh family. There's got to be someone in there who's just one person close, so I was looking for that.

"Oh, there he is.... Yamil-Ray, can I leave this one to you?

Yamil-Ray waved to pay even for the worm. Yumi and Rudd Rudd watched the match, so I decided to turn my back to you, along with Rayna-Rudd and Zwei-Rutim.

There's a circle of people there, too, and from the center you can hear the tone of the horizontal whistle. The person I was aiming for was about half a head protruding from the pedestrian walls, so it was easy to discover.

"Thank you for waiting, Gazran-Rutim"

"Oh, Asta. Besides, Rayna-Lew and Zwei... good job on the stall"

Gazran-Rutim looks back with a quiet smile. At today's Exchange, he may be the oldest. Still, as a Gazran-Rutim who gives thought to the future of Moribe and Genos, I guess I couldn't help but give him a name. As far as I'm concerned, I was, of course, sincerely pleased with the deed.

"Were you watching the horizontal whistle? How was the exchange?

"We're having a very meaningful time. Dim-Rutim will feel the same way."

Following Gazran-Rutim's gaze, it was Dim-Rutim who was training for the horizontal whistle. Quite a skillful handkerchief, spinning a beautiful melody.

"Until just now, we exchanged words with a number of people. Dim-Rutim and the others were listening to Doug."

"Heh. Dim-Rutim wouldn't know much about accompanying Doug on his trip, would he?"

"Yes, if I told Yumi that, I would have told my friends too"

I laughed unexpectedly.

"So that means Gazran-Rutim plotted it for the less loving Dim-Rutim, right?

"Yes, because it's an exchange."

Gazran-Rutim's eyes, including a smile, are directed toward his smaller family.

"Zwei, I hope you have a meaningful time too. Enjoy this meeting."

"Hum! Even people in the lodging town won't be interested in Atashi or anything, Sa"

"That shouldn't be the case. You are rather close to the people of Innkeeper Town. Previously on the woodland, it could have been heretical… but for the future on the woodland, it would surely be a great force"

After stating so, Gazran-Rutim turned to me.

"Is Rau-Ray still working on a match?

"Yes, we seem to be challenging Cargo for a sixth time"

"So let me take a look at you"

That's why we're back in the showdown.

So, as we tried to break into the hedge - the people we were looking at, whoops. At the same time, Rau-Ray's voice echoes.

"All right, we won!

While I was surprised, I shrugged the crowd hedge.

Then a further surprise was awaited on the spot. Rau-Ray was taking both Yamil-Ray's hands and taking joyful steps.

"I won. I won! Thanks also to Yamil's advice! If you tried to fight with the heart you caught in Fa's house, you could have beaten him brilliantly!

"... Whatever, could you let go of this hand?

Yamil-Ray stands on the bar, so it's as if he's even practicing dancing with a mannequin against him. People were laughing at the way it looked, and the cargo sitting in front of the board said "ahhh".

"They did it right. You're like someone else.... Hey, Asta, I'm finally soiled."

"Oh well. Well, Rau-Ray is a finger hunter, even in the Luu blood. I guess that means I could have played with it."

"It's not insulting to be a hunter by the woods at all.... Oh, you look so strong too. Do you want to compete?

It is, of course, Gazran-Rutim that Cargo called for. Gazran-Rutim shook his head with a calm smile.

"If you don't mind, could you let this Zwei deal with you? The best thing about Rutim's house is that it's Zwei. Neither I nor my father Dan nor my grandfather Ra are at all in Zwei."

"Heh, that looks awesome. Then, please."

Zwei-Rutim sighed deeply before lowering his hips in front of the board. If you ask me, the more computational you are the Zwei-Rutim, the more powerful you are likely to exert in matchmaking play.

"Even in Rutim's house, is there frequent matchmaking?

When I sneaked in, Gazran-Rutim nodded yes.

"But I can't win this way. I can beat a divided person, but I think he's the weakest in the main house."

"That's surprising. Although Gazran-Rutim seems to be very good at this kind of play"

"I take too long to stick around and hit one hand. That doesn't end the battle, so it's been an arrangement to hit your hand by the time you count ten... and since then, you haven't won at all"

"Oh, I see... there was a similar competition in my hometown, but the official match already had a time limit. But that's a long time, so sometimes it's just another day."

"Really? That sounds like fun."

While we were having that conversation, there was a heated battle on the board.

It was Zwei-Rutim who won at the end of it. The moment Cargo declared defeat, people were set to go on more than just now.

"Wow! Isn't that the first time Cargo loses a match?

When did Ben end up being a spectator, slapping Cargo on the back in an excited way? Cargo was breathing on the board as he lowered his brow butt.

"I didn't have any hands or feet, then. You, with that arm, you think you could make as much money in the casino as you want?

"Hun. Such a story would never be acknowledged by the chief, sir"

The body of Zwei-Rutim, which he discards on the top of the Buddha, Yumi said from behind, "Wow!" and cuddle. Zwei-Rutim twisted herself in a sudden appearance.

"Yes, suddenly what do you do sa! It's painful, let go, yo!

"Sorry! I'm so surprised! No, I didn't expect you to have this stunt!

"... you won a game like this, don't gain anything, Sho?

Yumi quickly left, but Zwei-Rutim was angry at him for stripping his teeth. I'm putting my hands around my heart, so I wonder how surprised I was. A tough, but surprisingly delicate girl.

"It doesn't matter what the damage is, amazing is amazing! Ben, why don't you get a little workout, too?

"Right. Give me a hand with one so I can beat Cargo too."

Ben pushed the cargo over and sat across from Zwei-Rutim. Zwei-Rutim looks back at you.

"How am I supposed to get away with this kind of play, Sa? I can't do that, yo."

"Then why don't we give him an explanation of which hand was wrong after the battle? In hunter training, that's how easy it is!

and Rau-Ray stuck his neck out from the side all the time. Yamil-Ray, finally released, is getting her hair up in a laid back manner.

"I want to see it and learn it too! After all, you are extraordinarily talented, Zwei-Rutim!

"... so what good would such a talent do Sa"

Whilst complaining about the bump, Zwei-Rutim seemed to pinch Ben's opponent.

Gazran-Rutim smiles satisfactorily and looks back at me.

"I'm going to keep an eye on this place for a while. Asta, do as you please."

"Huh? Well, me too -" he called, and I remembered. When I was by Gazran-Rutim, I felt like I was too comfortable to get the whole AC thing straight.

"Then why don't we go around?

Raina-Lou, who had been quiet all along, nodded with a smile, "Yes."

With us, he's a business divider for stalls. There is not a single strange face, as all the young people of the Inn Town gathered here are regular guests of the stalls. It was supposed to be the purpose of the day to deepen interaction with those people.

In some places, there are daughters dancing to the lateral whistle. Apparently, the women by the woods are learning the steps of the Inn Town Stream. In addition, in some places, bars are drawn between the hunters by the woods and the young people of the lodging town. Even though there are three hunters on the side of the Inn Town, the hunters, who are not even big enough, face each other with one arm. So it seems to be a mutual battle, and the people around them were cheering hot.

Of course this is a public place, so if you make too much noise, they call the guards. but the lateral whistle was stuffed to keep the volume down, and the cheering people felt that they were keeping moderation properly. The people who happen to pass through and so on vary, rounding their eyes and joining the loop of sight, or shivering and passing too far. Once, the guards appeared thinking of the patrol, but instead of raising their voices of caution, they walked around the square and walked away.

So, when half an hour went by?

Two passers-by stepped inside the square when they thought it was time to go back and see how the Gazran-Rutim and Lau Rays were doing around the circle of some people.

Both hide their faces with hooded cloaks for travel. At first I thought it was the people of the east, but one seemed smaller than me. Besides, the longer one seems to have a thicker physique for the eastern people.

"... you're approaching this one. Somebody stop by the hunter."

And then Raina-Lou realizes it, he pulls my sleeve. Those two names felt like they were coming straight at us.

I nod and glance around wondering if there would be a hunter anywhere near me. Along the way, I saw the little one raise his hand more comfortably.

"Ah... Rayna-Lew, apparently, that's someone I know."

"Huh? Do you know Asta?

"No, Rayna-Lew should be saying hello."

The man's hand, waved by me, was white in the distance, and he was idle. And I feel graceful when I do, even though I'm just casually waving. The impression made me wonder who he was.

"I never thought I'd see Asta on this occasion. I'm sure it's Western god's fault, too."

The person hid his mouth with a collar roll.

But with that sweet cello sounding voice, it seems that Raina-Lou could also understand it. Raina-Lou finally graced his blue eyes with a much more vigilant light.

"You're a diplomat, Fermes, aren't you? I never thought I'd see you like this."

"You are the son of the chief Donda-Lou...... Raina-Lou, aren't you? It sounds like a breath disaster, above all."

In the shadow of the hood, the dust and eyes narrow. It is a mysterious hazel eye, complexly teased with brown and green.

Jemd, his squire, was also praised with unbeatable politeness by Raina-Lou. This one, like his husband, is hiding from his nose with a collar roll, quietly glowing his brown eyes.

"What the hell is wrong with you? Have a nice day, are you visiting the Inn Town?

When I asked, Fermes nodded yes.

"From the other day, I heard that people from the Luu bloodline were having an exchange meeting in the lodging town, so it was up to me to think about seeing it.... but if you take the soldiers to such a place and go up there, the meeting will be ruined because of it, won't it? So this is how Jemd and I decided to sneak in."

"Was it?... but isn't it dangerous? There are a lot of outlaws in Inn Town, right?

"For that reason, this is how you hide your face. Well, most dangers are handled by Gemd, so don't worry."

Under the collar roll, there must be that innocent, graceful smile. Fermes' eyes were glittering like children's.

Those eyes are always passing over my right shoulder. At the same time, a serene voice echoed from behind.

"Again, was it you? I would also like to say hello."

I'm supposed to be relieved.

Fermes is closing his eyes with pleasure.

"Oh, Gazran-Rutim. You wanted it, too. I'm sincerely delighted."

Gazran-Rutim advanced his steps and stood next to me.

For Gazran-Rutim's sake, the same explanation is repeated as just now. "Really?" Gazran-Rutim smiled quietly after hearing it.

"For once, I was wondering if you could come and see how things were going. I'm also delighted that it was today."

"Yes, we needed to see this gathering properly in order to find out the truth about Genos."

"So, what do you say we actually take a look? It's very intriguing to see how you feel."

"Right......" Fermes glanced over.

The people gathered in the square are still the same as before. I don't think you're dreaming of a place like this where the nobles of the king's capital will come up. Fermes seemed to smile under the collar roll again.

"It's like a feast, isn't it? Human beings who grew up in different cultures reach out to each other without flinching, while rarely having your presence. … I feel such enthusiasm stronger than the masquerade the other day"

"Really? I'd be happy if you thought it was the right thing to do."

"Of course, let's do it right. It should not be an exaggeration when it comes to an ideal environment. … speaking of greed, I wanted to see this from the beginning."

"From the beginning?," Gazran-Rutim tilts his neck.

"Yeah," Fermes narrowed his eyes.

"From the time when the people of the woods and the people of Genos were in opposition… what path could the people of the woods, who were despised by the barbarians, follow to hold hands with the people of the town? You wanted to see it from the beginning."

"Oh, I see..."

"But if you mention that, there's no limit. If I told you the truth, I wanted to see everything in this world from the beginning."

Fermes' eyes changed color loosely.

Um, it's an eye that's going to suck your soul in. Fermes spinned his words so that he chased something that he could never see.

"How was this world born? What was this world like before the four kingdoms were built? What path has the four kingdoms followed to build their present prosperity?... in which how were the people by the woods born? How could you abandon your faith while being a people of the kingdom? And why did you want your faith back? … I wish I could have seen all of that in my eyes."

"... the only thing that can do that is to be called God"

In an awful quiet voice, Gazran-Rutim responded that way.

"I am a folk by the woods, but I never wish to be the woods themselves. I have been a part of the forest from the beginning, so that hope has been fulfilled from the beginning. And...... Morga Forest is part of the kingdom Selva. Being part of the forest, we are part of the kingdom, so there is no contradiction in making Western God our father. With that in mind, I was baptized by Western God."

…………

"Does being a part of the world make you unhappy? But even so, wishing to be God himself, the world itself, seems too dangerous. Also, I guess that's a wish you'll never see... so at the end of the day, you're going to suffer yourself?

Fermez got annoyed.

The weighty silence only hits our perimeter. The voices of the shaky people in the square were far away, as if they were sounding from another world.

"Gazran-Rutim, are you..."

And, telling him to whisper, Fermes eventually raises his face.

In those eyes - the light of joy was twitching.

"You are, after all, who I expected you to be. There must be no one smarter than you in the Tower of Wise Men."

"It's a hell of a word. I 'm-"

"You're a hunter by the woods. How can you be so intelligent that you can't even read and write letters - how can you spot the truth so much if you haven't even read a single book - no, you may be so intelligent because you don't have the extra knowledge. You must feel what I found out in the book. [M] Perhaps if I had been born in the woods, I wouldn't have had this desire."

Fermes laughed as he shrugged under the collar roll.

"The people of the sanctuary, I'm sure that's the same. But I'm sure they can't talk like you. They who continue to be a part of God have no strays or annoyances. You can't find an answer for someone who doesn't question you. You have also benefited from the civilization of the kingdom as you set yourself in the original world as a people by the woods. That's how you're treating the two worlds, so you could get lost, confused, and go to that answer. I envy it with all my heart."

Fermes' eyes stare straight at only Gazran-Rutim.

All I could do was shut up and watch those eyes slowly regain their human sparkle.

"But I am the people of the King's Capital, not the people of the woods. Like you, I can't feel the world in this body. So, after all... I guess I'll just have to keep getting lost and confused."

Fermes stepped back to the lid.

"Now I'm going to go back to Castle Town. We are looking to disturb the woodland again in the near future, so please give our regards to the chiefs."

"Yes, I understand."

Fermes saw me the last time.

It is the eye of Fermes as usual, without subordination.

"And to Asta, I'd like you to lump in another delicious dish. I swear I won't do anything rash, so please give my regards to my parent, Ai-Fa"

"Yes. I understand."

When Fermes nodded one thing, he returned a graceful trick.

Gemd also gives a silent thank you and then follows. As the two appearances turned away, Raina-Lou breathed relieved.

"Something made my chest noisy about the murmur. He never thinks he's a bad guy... but I still don't think he's normal."

"Yeah. I think so, too."

"... Besides, you're looking interested in Gazran-Rutim, not Asta today"

"Oh, sure. He was intrigued by Gazran-Rutim from the beginning."

In response, I looked back at Gazran-Rutim more, and was unintentionally breathtaking. Gazran-Rutim, who had already dropped off the Fermes, who were about to go blind - had a sharp light in his eyes when he was a raptor.

"Gazran-Rutim, Ga. Are you all right, sir?

"Yes, I also feel like I finally understand what kind of person you are called Fermes"

The voice of Gazran-Rutim was as gentle as usual, while only its eyes became like others.

"He seems... very sorry to hear that."

In a voice so gentle that it was too kind, Gazran-Rutim said so.
