711 Hunter's Testimony ④ - Pledge

Gillan-Lillin's brother and children walked away across the burning fire with a plate of curry in each hand. Now they're going to carry the curry to the ladies and toddlers waiting in the main house.

Besides that, the Rutim ladies and Yamil-Ray come back. As promised, Ur Ray-Lilyn and the rest of their dishes were held in their hands.

Ur Ray-Lilyn is the hidden name of the Luu bloodline. Not only do they make what they learn, they also have a cooking sense that allows them to add their own arrangements. The feast dishes made under the direction of such Ur Ray-Lilyn were all excellent and prosperous.

"Come on, then, it's Asta's turn to distribute the dishes....... and keep it up, why don't you calm your hips? And then we'll make our turn until the food runs out."

The women of Rutim suggested that to me.

Normally, reluctance might have arisen, but I decided to make myself comfortable for Vina-Lou.

Instead of the Schmirals and then we put our own dishes on the basin and head to the same rug as just now. Along the way, Vina-Lou was breathing deeply.

"He's kind of stuck in his chest and his diet doesn't go through his throat... there was a lot of noise..."

"I'll take care of Rudd-Lou and Rau-Ray. Enjoy your meal, Vina-Lou."

Try this, you might as well spend some time with Schmiral as you normally do with a banquet. I'm guessing there's also an awkward part about your parents being in formation right next door.

But I'm sure you'll be allowed to speak slowly, both of you. I just wanted to believe that if it were Donda-Lou or Gillan-Lillin, they would take that much into account.

With that in mind, we arrive at the central rug.

People were thrilled. The facial rash is the same as earlier. I noticed our approach, Lau-Ray said, "Oh, you're the new Him!" He raised his voice.

"I've been waiting to see when I can deliver it!... But why isn't Yamir here?

"Oh, Yamil-Ray is working in pairs with the Rutim ladies. I don't think I can leave Kamado for a while yet, so why don't you give him a call from Rau-Ray?

"Right! Then I'll eat him in front of you!

Rau-Ray gets up in a good mood. Of course, although I didn't want to get rid of Lough Ray either, he's the kind of person who doesn't hesitate to chill out about the Vina-Lough guys, so I'm a little relieved. Rau-Ray and I would have liked to have spoken to each other just as heartily again.

Rudd-Lou said that he was moving a little far away and thriving with the young hunters. Some of them include Dim-Rutim. It was how he was talking about the exchange the other day to deduce from the words that sounded out of cut.

Schmiral, stuck in Gillan-Lillin and Gazran-Rutim, is delighted to narrow his eyes as he compares me to Vina-Rew. Then Gazran-Rutim lifted his hips softly.

"May I speak to Asta for a moment, Ai-Fa?... Oh, Vina-Lou, if you don't mind, this way."

Vina-Lou gently broke his knee instead of Schmiral as he lay down his face.

Me and I-Fa finish the meal and then settle down in the front of it. Then Gazran-Rutim also lined up beside it.

"Good day, Asta. This one was really delicious."

"Thank you.... What do you mean, talk to us?

"It's not a big deal. Please listen as you proceed with your meal."

Maybe Gazran-Lutim just wanted to give up his seat to Vina-Lou?

That's what I thought, but Gazran-Rutim has gone so far and spoken to Ai-Fa.

"I was just face-to-face two days ago, and I'm sincerely delighted to exchange words with the Ai-Fas again in this way.... Is Ai-Fa still mad about me?

"Me? Gazran-Rutim?

"Yes, it was well foreseen that Fermes would show up at the Accommodation Town Exchange.... Isn't Ai-Fa angry that I didn't tell you that?

Ey-Fa, who was carrying the long-awaited 'Hamburg Curry Chaska' in his mouth, scowled at me with his eyes open.

"Oh, I didn't say anything. Isn't that right, Gazran-Rutim?

"Yes, that's just how I guessed in the stand-up behavior of Ai-Fa in Westwind Pavilion. I'd like to apologize if I offended Ey-Fa."

"Nothing, I'm not talking about being able to apologize to Gazran-Rutim.... would I have been so exposed to the grumpy appearance?

"No, it's just that I didn't want to water you with a story that didn't prove it, either, so I dared not mention Fermes."

That being said, Gazran-Rutim smiled with regret.

"But if I was to think about the mood of Ai-Fa, I recalled that I should have told him beforehand. Not enough consideration, unless you're sorry."

"So you're not talking about being able to apologize to Gazran-Rutim. It's not like there's any danger."

"Yes. That day Fermes looked interested in me.... Well, I had a stronger interest, so maybe I just reacted to that."

"Was Gazran-Rutim bringing such strong interest to Fermes?

Gazran-Rutim nodded, "Yes," as I accidentally clasped my mouth.

"There was a strong interest in what kind of person he was because he hadn't grasped one. … on that day, it was resolved"

"Hmm. You mean you totally understand what kind of person he is"

"I don't know if I can say I understand... but I think the approximate suspicion could have been dispelled. I'm sure he's right, he's what he sees."

With that said, Gazran-Rutim can always flatter his mouth.

"At least, I don't think he'll ever take Asta or anything. In that regard, I could feel a little relieved."

"... I'd like you to let me know why you thought that way, if you like"

"Yes, because his main application lies in correctly observing what the world is all about. If he adds an extra hand, the world will collapse as it is. … I think that's what he would think."

Ai-Fa spilled a sigh over the wood dish, dropping her shoulders a lot.

"Listen, what is it, but I have no idea. Seems like an extra story for my head."

"That's never the case...... I'm sure you can't explain me. It's a hard story to put into words."

After saying it that way, Gazran-Rutim smiled again.

"Well, it wasn't the story we deserved on a day like today. If Ai-Fa isn't angry, don't worry, share the joy of the day."

"Mm-hmm. It's a happy day."

I shrugged up Curry's blindfolded hamburger, as Ey-Fa had also regained his mind.

In front of us like that, Schmiral and Vina-Lou talk quietly. Gillan-Lillin was turning his face the other way and talking to Minn's parents. At some point, my eldest brother's boy is snapping on his shoulder. When I met him, the boy shined his eyes brightly.

"Hi. How did the curry taste?

"Yeah! As of now, it was the best!... That wasn't Asta, Vina-Lou made it alone?

"Yeah. The only thing I made was Shaska."

"Oh well. So Vina-Lu makes him better than Asta?

When I looked back because I heard a noise with Karan, Ai-Fa had just dropped a wooden spoon on the wood dish. That mouth was all over the garlic saying something, but I guess the other guy saw him as a five-year-old boy and restrained himself. Take up the fallen wooden spoon with a face that looks like it's chewing off a sigh.

"I don't know. I'll do my best not to lose to Vina-Lou, too."

"Yeah, good luck!... and I'd like you to tell me how he made it, even if it's Lilyn's."

"I guess I should ask the Lew family for that. People of the blood should be learning from the Lew family."

Nevertheless, there are only three women in Lilyn's house, one of whom is pregnant. I'm sure the parent's partner, Ur Ray-Lillin, will have to partition the work of the house, and the last one can only attend the study group on the 5th at the top. Perhaps it was an astonishing story that Ur Ray-Lilyn was worn so much arm in this environment.

(I'm sure this boy is working hard to help with the house work, too)

Being allowed to participate in a feast means that you are old enough to help with your work at home. In every family, a toddler reaching the age of five was entrusted with a very simple task of drying Pico's leaves and helping him wash things.

"... when I get a chance, I'll come and help."

When I say it again like that, the boy says, "Really?" He looked happy.

I give it my best shot and nod, "Yeah."

At that time, Gillan-Lillin looked back on the Vina-Lou and the others.

"Vina-Lou, you had a hard day. Have you finally finished your meal?"

"Yeah... I can't figure it out..."

"Well, that's a good time."

Gillan-Lillin grinned in a frantic manner, lifting her son's body with one arm. Putting the shaggy boy down on the rug, he stands up roughly.

"Will everyone be enjoying the celebratory dishes and fruit liquor? I still want you to have a lot of fun, but I need to tell you something before I do."

People who were bickering everywhere look back at what the hell is going on and Gillan-Lilyn.

Gillan-Lillin said with the same lucid face as usual, like nothing.

"Today, Schmiral was to be recognized as a one-man hunter and given the proof.... With this in mind, I'm going to give Mr. Lilyn to Schmiral."

The colloquial voice quieted in an instant.

Gillan-Lillin goes over words, regardless.

"Nine moons have already toured since Schmiral became Lilyn's family. I can't give anyone an answer as to whether it's long or short to admit a person from the outside world as a formal family member and give him a Mr.. But for me, that was enough time. Schmiral is the man who deserves to be welcomed as a compatriot by the woods.... In the name of Lilyn's parent, Gillan-Lilyn, I will let Mother Forest proclaim that."

"Gillan-Lillin.... Are you sure?

Schmiral stood up without a sound. Vina-Lou is holding his mouth down, and it's solidified.

Gillan-Lillin looked back at Schmiral and nodded "Uhm".

"I'll tell you first, I didn't decide to give Mr. because you set Gibba up. In turn, it's the other way around."

"... reverse?

"Mm-hmm. I've known for a while that you were the right person for my compatriots by the woods. It's just that I haven't had a chance for you to finish Gibba off, so I've got to wait for the day. I couldn't have given Mr. while I wasn't giving him the hunter's clothes."

That's how Gillan-Lillin looked back at Donda-Lou, who wouldn't move while sitting down.

"And I've already told Donda-Lou about that. If Similar puts Gibba down with that hand, I'll give him to you then. … finally, that day has arrived"

Instead of Gillan-Lilyn speaking with a smile, a sneaky shadow creeps in. His companion, Ur Ray-Lilyn. Ur Ray-Lilyn smiled like a fairy and handed his parents a bottle of fruit liquor earthen.

Gillan-Lillin puts the earthen bottle overhead once, and then opens it with just one bite.

"In the name of Lilyn's parent, Gillan-Lilyn, I would like to give Mr. Lilyn to Schmiral and welcome him home. If you are prepared to live as a Schmiral-Lilyn in the future until that day when you return your soul to the Forest and Western God, declare it and mouth this liquor."

Schmiral received the earthen bottle at his trembling fingertips.

"I, Shmiral... as the people of the woods, the family of Lilyn, and Shmiral-Lilyn, live, I pledge"

Shaking her long silver hair, Schmiral mouthed the fruit liquor.

Then Donda-Lou rises up with the sleigh and takes away the earthen bottle.

"... Bless the new Lilyn's family, Shmiral-Lilyn"

Crushing like that, Donda-Lou also mouthed the fruit liquor.

Looking at it, Gazran-Rutim also rises. Min and Maam's parents were also up, and Lau-Ray and Mufa's parents, who were away, were also rushing over.

The blood parents, to Schmiral - no, bless Schmiral-Lilyn and mouth the fruit liquor. While I was stunned, the ritual was solemnly complete.

"That took a long time! But now you're finally a real bloodline, too!

Rau-Ray slaps Similar-Lilyn in the back.

So I was supposed to give it back to me.

"Congratulations, Schmiral! No, Schmiral-Lilyn!

Schmiral-Lilyn looked back at this one and smiled with a dreamy look.

Vina-Lou is still sitting down, looking up at its length blurry. I'm sure he's still in a state of self-loss. With me, I was sure I would spill tears at this moment, and now my surprise was worse.

That's how the people who recover from self-loss sooner than we do, begin to give a blessing like a wave that hits back. People, especially Lilyn's family, were calling the name of Schmiral-Lilyn with a joyful expression.

Eventually, Gillan-Lilyn lifts her arms loosely as her voice soars to a grand cheer.

"Now, I want to move on to the next story, so I want you to be a little quiet. Bless you later on about Schmiral."

Then Gillan-Lillin looked back at Schmiral with a smile.

"You will be the family of the main house. So as always, let me call you Schmiral... you call me Gillan?

"Yes.... thank you, Parent Gillan"

"Mm-hmm. That's fine"

Gilan-Lillin stroked one of his grey mustaches before turning back to Donda-Lou.

"Well... I was allowed to talk about this before as well, but now I'm going to officially wish. It would be nice to hear it from a parent, Donda-Lou."

…………

"I wish from Lilyn's parent, Gillan-Lilyn, to Lu's parent, Donda-Lu. I wish my family Schmiral the dowry of Vina-Lou"

"What?" he raised his voice was Lau-Ray.

"Wait a minute. Schmiral only wished to be son-in-law to Lew's house? Vina-Lou is the eldest sister in the house. You can't give it to your daughter-in-law if it's easy."

"Mm-hmm. But I wish Vina-Lou's dowry, for several reasons. Perhaps we should ask the parents of our blood to listen."

Not to be bothered, Gillan-Lillin looked around at the parents.

"First, one thing. Luu's main house has as many as seven children, and his second brother, Darum-Lu, also remains in the Luu family as the head of the branch. In addition, his eldest brother, Giza-Lou, is a strong hunter and his companion has two eyes. Even if I let my eldest sister Vina-Lou be my daughter-in-law, I can't think first of all of Donda-Lou's blood muscles will go on."

"Hmm. That's true, you're right"

"Two. Lilyn's house has few families and only five hunters, including Schmiral. We were supported in the house by four hunters until Schmiral arrived, so it's not like there's a problem for once... but Schmiral, who can manipulate the hounds with skill, is irreplaceable. Lew has a strong hunter all over his face, so I want him to leave Schmiral for Lilyn."

"Mm-hmm. Rather, Lew and the like would be the right time to split up the house and create a new family"

"And Mitsu.... I think of Shmiral as an important family. It's not too sneaky that I could finally give Mr. to my son-in-law right away. I want Similar to live as Lilyn's family."

Gillan-Lillin slowly turned back to Donda-Lou.

"My last eyes are mine, but I want you to listen to me as Lilyn's sincere thoughts. Of course it would be hard for Donda-Lou and I to get my precious daughter out to my wife...... lay down there and wish"

Donda-Lou looks at Gillan-Lillin with a dazzling look.

Heavy voices emanated from his mouth as they stuffed his breath together.

"In every house, I feel no different about taking care of my family. I have seven kids, so it's easier than you, right?

"Absolutely. So let me just state that it's my life."

"Hmm... six years ago, you heard the dialogue."

Donda-Lou closed his eyelids, but that was a matter of seconds.

"But as for the first two, it's not an unreasonable story. Lilyn is still the youngest family home in her family."

"So will you listen to my wishes?

"As the head of Lou's, let's forgive Gillan-Lillin for his wish. … However, you may not authorize a wedding that is not in person."

That's how Donda-Lou turned his gaze towards Vina-Lou.

Vina-Lou is still stuck staring up at Schmiral-Lilyn.

"You heard the story, it's Vina. If I'm going to give you a wedding with Shmiral-Lilyn, you'll have to be Lilyn's person. Whether or not you're going to take this offer… it's up to you."

…………

"It's been a long time since Schmiral-Lilyn became a family by the woods. Exactly, you will fit in when you are ready. You decide your own path."

Vina-Lou kept staring at Schmiral-Lilyn, trying to answer nothing.

Schmiral-Lilyn also stares back at Vina-Lou silently.

A while later, Gillan-Lillin called softly.

"The offer of the wedding is not determined to be a response on that day. Why don't you wait for your mind to settle down and find the most right path?

"No... I... I..."

Vina-Lou shook his trembling voice.

"Donda Father... No, Parent Donda... Before I reply, could you let me talk to this person... Shmiral-Lilyn...?

"Hmm. If you want to talk, you can talk as much as you like?

Donda-Lou leaned a new earthen bottle as he lowered his back to his original location.

Gillan-Lillin smiles at Vina-Lou, too, and claws on the spot.

"Sometimes it's hard to talk with people's eyes. I'll forgive you, I'll talk to you in the house of your choice. There's no one else in this house."

"Thanks...... so...... so, uhh...... I'd like to have Ai-Fa and Asta stand too...... can you forgive me for that...?

Gillan-Lillin rounded his eyes properly.

"To Ai-Fa and Asta? I have no idea why, but if Vina-Lou wants it, do as you please."

Vina-Lou has been staring at us with an emotionally uncertain look.

Ey-Fa is eyebrowing at Ulange, with his head on.

"I don't know why, but it's a necessary thing for you, isn't it?

"Yes, yes... I need to..."

"Well, let's get you up and running"

When Ai-Fa stood up immediately, he punched me in the head.

"What are you freaking out about? Let's go."

"Oh, yeah..."

I haven't swallowed the situation yet.

There's so much going on to keep you up that you can't keep up with your head. I was as comfortable wandering through my dreams as I was walking about after Vina-Lou and Schmiral-Lilyn.

The people who gathered in the square would have seen us with strange eyes. Without being able to perceive it clearly, I was stepping into a dark house.

By the hand of Schmiral-Lilyn, the candlestick fire is lit.

We were supposed to sit in the hall surrounding it.

"I'm sorry... I really need to talk to you..."

Vina-Lou's eyes are directed at Schmiral-Lilyn.

The long lashes were very weak and shaky. The truth is I can't wait to look away, but it seems as if I am diligently holding onto it.

"Before we move on to the wedding, I need to finish this story... I can't take a step forward... so... can you listen to me...?

"Yes, let me know"

Schmiral-Lilyn had a very serene face.

Vina-Lou is frowning so he can do the pain. Released from its glossy lips were astonishing words.

"I... I once wished Asta a dowry..."

I've been made to look up to my heart.

But the look on Schmiral-Lilyn's face remains the same.

"Besides, it's... not according to the woodland lesson... I wanted Asta to take me to the world outside the woodland... I'm a person who was trying to abandon my homeland and my family..."

"But Vina-Lou remembered it and stayed by the woods."

I didn't think so, I raised my voice.

Vina-Lou shakes her head without force.

"Thanks to Asta for turning my offer away... otherwise I would have abandoned the woodside... I wonder if such a person deserves to marry a companion..."

"... you didn't actually dump the woodside. I just got caught up in paranoia and ran stupid words. That's the only way I'm disqualified from living as a forest citizen."

Now Ai-Fa gives a resolute voice.

Vina-Lou had a crying look on his face.

"Right... if I was actually guilty, I'd almost be punished and redeemed... but I couldn't even do that... so I guess my feelings are hanging around..."

"So if you suffer, that's punishment. At least not a reason to get lost in a wedding."

"Yeah... but you can't hide a story like that and give this guy a wedding...? Not to mention that this guy and Asta are friends connected by a deep bond..."

Vina-Lou even rested his chest in agony, ready to breathe.

"I was distracted by Asta... even after Asta decided to be a folk by the woods, she was persevering in pursuit... if she heard such a story later, she would feel irresistible...? I... because of me, this guy hates Asta... I absolutely don't like it..."

"For that reason, it's no good that Schmiral-Lilyn hates Asta"

"I wonder...? What do you think Asta would think if she had a crush on your dear friend…? If Asta and I were to be informed of it after we gave her the wedding... maybe we'd bring in some unparalleled anger and voidness...?

Ai-Fa clutched his mouth and pondered for a while, but eventually shook his head slowly.

"Sure, I'll be bringing in feelings of no place to do it. Still, I don't hate that person."

"Yes... but I knew you'd bring in feelings of no place to do it...? Then you should tell them that before you give them a wedding......? If it is now, we can still take it back..."

Even while he speaks that way, Vina-Lou's eyes stare only at Schmiral-Lilyn.

"I'm an impossible person... but I have to tell you the ugliest, shallowest part of it... I can't give you a wedding... so I wanted to tell you..."

"Really," Schmiral-Lilyn replied quietly.

"Vina-Lou, I'm so glad you thought that way, I think. And don't worry, I won't. Me, my feelings, they don't change."

"Are you sure...? Wouldn't you scratch your bond with Asta...?

"Yes. Asta, I'm an important friend. That feeling, after all, remains the same."

After stating so, Schmiral-Lilyn smiled fluffily.

"And... Vina-Lou, my thoughts on Asta, me, I knew"

"Huh...?," Vina-Lou's eyes are opened.

Again, I was caught in a big surprise.

"Duh, why...? No way, Asta...?

"No. Asta, I didn't ask. Me, speculation. Vina-Lou, Asta, love, I guess I'm holding it, I was feeling it. So at first, when we met, we asked if it was a couple."

Schmiral-Lilyn quietly overlaps the amazing words.

"But back in the day, it's a story. Me, Genos, when I returned, my thoughts on Vina-Lou, Asta, they were gone, I think. Vina-Lou, do you still have feelings for Asta, any left?

"Oh no... that's not true..."

"Okay, no problem, no. My thoughts on Vina-Lou, they don't change."

Schmiral-Lilyn smiled and stared straight back at Vina-Lou.

"Me, the wedding, I want. Parent Gillan, dowry, I hope, but me, son-in-law, okay. Vina-Lu, stay in Luu, if you want, I, Parent Gillan, will persuade you."

"Wait a minute... I'm not ready yet..."

Saying in a trembling voice, Vina-Lou hugged her own body.

"Because I am a truly impossible person... I have not yet consolidated my readiness for this period... I cannot give you a wedding with this feeling Wow..."

"Do you have any concerns or concerns?

In a gentle voice, Schmiral-Lilyn nodded.

Vina-Lou blushes her cheeks a little bit as she frowns in bitterness.

"There's a concern... there's no way...? Because you..."

"Yes, what is it?

"You... will soon be on a journey..."

Vina-Lou said so, cuddling his body tightly.

Blushing her cheeks with shame, tears are glowing thinly in her eyes.

"Then you won't be back for six months......? I don't know if a man like me can survive such misery... I'm not sure..."

"Yes. Natural anxiety, I think"

Schmiral-Lilin leaned in front of Vina-Lou as he bypassed the candlestick.

But it is forbidden for unmarried men and women to touch each other, so stop moving before they do. Schmiral-Lilyn's black eyes stared at Vina-Lou from a close position.

"I, chief Donda-Lou, have made a promise, a deal. The contents, remember?

"... a promise to Donda father...?

"Yes. Me, six months, by the woods, away. In the meantime, the hunter's job, what he does, he can't. Instead, more than any other hunter, he doubled his harvest, promised to give it to you, and exchanged it. For that, it's a hound."

"Oh... what is that...?

"I, the same promise, Vina-Lou, will make an exchange"

That's how Schmiral-Lilyn smiled loosely, enveloping Vina-Lou's anxiety.

"Me, double love, I dedicate. Six months, instead of seeing you, until then, Vina-Lou, I'll make you happy."

On Vina-Lou's cheek, a single tear spilled.

"I don't know if I can do that..."

"I'll let you. Promise, absolutely."

At a distance where the nose tips are likely to touch each other, Schmiral-Lilyn said so.

"Me, mate, be, Vina-Lou. I love you."

Silence fell.

Only the sound of the burning beast fat candle, Jijiji...... sounds.

It was as if the world itself was holding its breath and waiting for Vina-Lou's answer.

In the meantime, I-Fa suddenly grabs my fingertips.

I kept my mouth shut and let him hold my hand back.

And Vina-Lou replied with a small, hissed voice - "Yes," so much so that he wouldn't have heard if he hadn't been so quiet.
