718 Chinese Candlestick ① ~ Preparation below ~

And - finally visited, it is the 14th of the Blue Moon.

It is the day of the wedding feast, of Schmiral-Lilyn and Vina-Lou.

The night before that, I couldn't sleep with Dawn either. but he slept in dust all the time, and was able to wake up well at the same time as dawn.

Washing and bathing and collecting firewood and vanilla are the only minimal tasks we can do, and we're on our way to the Lew family. Ey-fa, who was getting ready for his salary scale, was watching me with such a strangely gentle eye.

"Asta, you are... looking forward to it."

"Yeah. That's what I said already, because it's the wedding of Schmiral-Lilyn and Vina-Lou. It's so hard to be careful not to overshadow it."

"Right. … Your joy is my joy"

Ai-Fa smiled fluffily.

What a happy smile Ey-Fa is all about. I'm in a bit of a weird tension, and I'm supposed to get my chest stuck in the morning.

"Then I shall finish my hunting duties and then head to the Lew family. There's no trick in arranging the van, is there?

"Oh, yeah. I left Lulu's luggage at Naham's house, so he should pick it up on the way. It's gonna be seven people, but I don't have much luggage, so I'll be fine."

Then I called on Tia, who was walking around with a bunch of firewood.

"So, Tia really, you don't have to follow me, right?

"Uhm. Tia is at Fou's house, waiting for Asta and the others to return"

Over the past seven days Tia has recovered a lot and it was no longer bitter to get in the luggage car. But my sin against me was redeemed, so there was no longer any reason to stick around for four or six hours.

"Is Tia as desirable as possible not to face the people in town? Then I'm going to make an adult out of Fow's house. Even if you go to the Lew family, it will only prevent pregnant women and young children from resting."

Uncomparable to the previous tiers, it is the sounding quality. I guess what stuck with my existence was the strong feeling that I still had to redeem my sins. So Tia was by my side whenever possible - brilliant, so she let me protect myself.

"You seem a lot more comfortable with Sarris Lang-Fou....... Then you decide to spend the rest of your life at Fou's house?

When Ai-Fa called it that way, Tier's movement stopped perfectly.

Red eyes at the time of the garnet are eventually slowly directed towards the eye-fa.

"... Will Tia be spending time at Fow's in the future?

"That's why I'm asking you. It seems more painful than ever for Birdu-Faw to see Fa's house take care of you. If your sins against Asta had been redeemed, I would have kept them in Fow's house."

"... Isn't it the role of Parental Ai-Fa or Birdu-Fow that decides that?

Tia was staring at Ai-Fa as she ate in.

Ai-Fa is frowning a little uncomfortably.

"I can make up my mind here, but I thought I'd see how you felt first. I can't stop making noise later."

"There is no such thing as qualified to complain about tier. I think we should make it the way I-Fa and Birdu Fou want it to be."

To state it that way, Tia moistened her eyes.

Ai-Fa opens her eyes in a supine manner.

"What, what are you crying about? There's no reason for you to cry."

"... Tia wants to spend some time at Fa's house until she returns to the mountains, if possible. But as Ai-Fa put it, there is no reason for Tia to stay in Fa's house any longer. Regardless of Tia, I want you to choose the most desirable path for the i-fa"

I guess Tia is working hard, tearing up. He ties his mouth tight and puffs and shivers his relaxed shoulders. Seeing that appearance, Ai-Fa violently spun her own head around.

"If it's as painful as crying, why don't you say so! I'm not telling you to move into Fow's house!

"... but that's Tia's selfishness. Tia will not forgive you for defying the people of the great woodland."

Weird tattooed engraved tier cheeks with puffy tears.

Ai-Fa took a bunch of firewood from his hand as he approached the tier in rough footsteps.

"Enough! You stay in Fa's house until your wounds heal! Tell Birdu-Fow too, that's what I'll tell him!

"... are you sure that's okay? There's no need to confuse Tia's feelings."

"It's weird! Say those words, tears and tears!

Tia looked up and grinned as she wet her tears with the back of her hand.

"I would be sincerely happy if you would allow me to spend time at Fa's house. Tia loves Ai-Fa and Asta."

Ai-Fa sighed deeply, holding a bunch of firewood.

I also stop by the two of you, bend my knees and peek into Tia's smile.

"I love Tia, too. Keep up the good work, Tia."

"Hmm. You're going home tomorrow morning, aren't you? at Fou's house, awaiting the return of Asta and Ai-Fa"

Tia's eyes, still slightly left behind in tears, that was what sparkled like a gem.

Tia hasn't lost a tiny bit of innocence when she says she's been spending months outside her hometown. I'm sure the red folks in Morga will allow Tia to return - and I could have believed that.

That's how a paragraph goes, the running tone of the luggage car approaches.

This is Fafa's luggage truck, which has just come up on the subject. It was the long-faced man - Naham's eldest brother, Mora-Naham - who held the reins like Moai.

"Oh, thank you for waiting. Aren't we behind the carving limit?

and Malfira-Naham rushes down from the carrier. I made you laugh "yeah".

"I mean, I didn't set a different limit. We each talked about getting together after work in the morning, right?

"Oh, well, you did. Ku, it was a cliché, I'm sorry"

Tul-din and Yun-Sudra also descend from behind Malfira-Naham, who bows his head with Pekopeko. They picked up the ladies of the house, which was further north than Fa's house. It just seemed odd that everyone had a big wrap in their hands.

"What is that? Celebrations are Giva horns and fangs, right?

"Oh, this is a feast costume. I heard from Lew's house that the women were going to wear banquet costumes."

"Oh, you did," he said, then I looked back at Malfira-Naham.

"Is that it? Then this time, will Malfira-Naham also wrap up his banquet costume?

"Ah, yes. Wow, I'm now allowed to marry my partner too... so I'm finally going to be given a banquet costume"

Well, I decided to hit my hand inside. In other houses, even young children wore banquet costumes, but in Ravitz's blood there seemed to be a lesson that banquet costumes would not be worn until they could be given a wedding.

"… then, before sunset, I will visit again"

And, without getting off, Mora-Naham tries to circle Fafa's neck. Towards you, I called him "Um".

"For the feast, one man and one woman at a time, right? From Naham's house, will Mora-Naham still mumble?

"... if I'm not going to give my soul back in the woods today, it should be"

With no expression, Mora-Naham just walked away.

"And, also, I'm sorry. Oh, um..."

And Malfira-Naham, who was about to say something, looked back at Ai-Fa like a goldfish about to drown.

"Oh, oh, uh, can you forgive me for earring Asta?

"… it's a sticky thing, not an act that defies the Forest Side lesson"

While stating so, Ai-Fa is a tremendous Buddha top surface. If I were a weak-minded person, I would have immediately grabbed my suggestion, but Malfira-Naham bowed his head, "Oh, thank you," and leaned to my ear.

"Ah, ah, my brother Mora seems very embarrassed that he has previously exposed his feelings for Fay-Baim in front of Asta. Well, please forgive me for not being mean to Asta."

"Oh, you did. No, Mora-Naham was always like that, so I didn't really care."

"Oh, well, did you? Oh, I'm sorry I told you so much about the extra story."

That's how our secret conversation ended, but Ai-Fa's eyes remained glowing.

In the meantime, I'm going to show Yun-Sudra, who's out of hand, Gill's luggage.

"Then go to your luggage. We're already loaded, so let's get out of here."

"I understand," Yun-Sudra and the others go aboard the carrier. In that gap, I let Ey-Fa know what the secret conversation was about.

"... I see. Is that what this was about?"

"Yeah. I just ripped Yun-Sudra's ears off, so don't worry about it."

"Stick, I 'm-" he said, and I 'm-fa let him keep his mouth shut.

"... it did make Asta seem somewhat angry that she would be slapped in the ear by other people. But you didn't put it in your attitude."

"I wonder. He seemed very upset."

Ai-Fa is silent and has been kicking my leg.

It is a sweet, gentle kick.

"Well, I'll be there. Take care, too, Ai-Fa."

"Hmmm.... if Fermes and the others show up sooner than I do, you'll be careful too"

That's how we finally left Fa's house.

On the way, pick up the Matua ladies, the Rats ladies, the Fay-Baim, and go for the house of Lew. Those people, too, still all had the banquet costume wrap in their hands.

"Oh, I knew you all were entrusted with ornaments given to you by the mountain people!

And I give you the voice that the Matua women played.

"Right," he responded, Yun-Sudra.

"I find it tempting to wear such splendid ornaments, but my parents entrusted me with it because I was the one who was attacked by the outlaws of the mountain people"

"Me too! Speaking of which, most of the people in this room were in the same place."

"Was it about me that didn't fit in? Rutz's house wasn't on duty, either in the street or down there."

Not even in the unfortunate wind, the Ladies of Rats said so. I'm jealous that the outlaw fired the arrow, etc., I guess I would never consider that.

"But I hear Tool-Din didn't receive the ornament, did he?

"Ah, yes. Once it was deposited by my parents, I decided to give it to the women."

"Why not? There's no reason for Tour-Din to shy away, is there?

"Well, I didn't hesitate… I had the ornament Odifia gave me, so that seemed enough"

"Oh, I see. If I wore many fine ornaments on my own, I'd be just as impressed."

And the voice of the women of Mathua, who answered thus, approached the platform of thy servants.

"Hey, Asta. Do I fa wear a banquet costume today?

"Oh, yeah. That's what we should do at the wedding feast."

"Looking forward to it! We'll help you dress again!

The women of Matua were no less daunting than I was.

No, I'm sure everyone else. 'Cause that's the same thing. Though Malfira-Naham and Faye-Beim and others are hard types to read inside, there should be no more number left to feel nothing at all entrusted with the great work in the Lou family. The carrier felt their enthusiasm swirling in search of a place to go as early as possible.

The luggage truck carrying us like that eventually arrives at the Lew's house.

Work was proceeding little by little in the square of the Lou family, so the bride and groom were already fully prepared for the Yaguraya Simple Kamadu and Ritual Fire to sit on.

Besides, like us, I guess I've been working on preparing feast dishes since morning. White smoke is rising from some kamadu cabins, and I can see the ladies hanging out at all costs. As I proceeded with my luggage as I greeted them, there were also some figures in front of the main house.

"Oh, Asta. You arrived a long time ago."

"Good morning, Ama Min-Rutim. And Morn-Rutim was already back."

"Yes, in the course of yesterday, the Dom women sent me"

A little crackling Morn-Rutim greeted us with the usual smile. Instead, it is Ama Min-Lutim with Zedias-Rutim.

"I, too, have gone out with the women who work in Kamadu. Unfortunately, I can't do my job."

"Ama Min-Lutim is doing a more important job right now than anyone else. When the feast begins, we will bring you the feast dish."

"Thank you," Ama Min-Rutim smiled happily.

"This time, Asta will be handling the feast dishes, too. It really reminds us of our own wedding feast"

"Yes, I was thinking the same thing right now."

About a year and a half ago, Ama Min-Rutim was to give her a wedding on this occasion. That Ama Min-Rutim is now smiling with her beloved son in her arms. That figure made my breasts hot, as if I were foreseeing Vina-Lou's happy ending.

"Oh, the Astas are here, too. Welcome to Lew's house."

And, Mother Meer Ray came from the back of the house. Everyone is laughing happily today.

"I left the cabin empty at Sin-Lu's house. You're free to use it for one day today. Me and Rayna will be stuck in the main cabin forever."

"Thank you. I'll see you guys soon."

We'll pull the van and turn back to the square. Morn-Rutim will also be participating in the work from now on. It was a recent lesson of the Lew family to help their families with their work at a large banquet.

I know on my own. I head to Kamadu's cabin in the Sin-Lu family and free Gill from his luggage first. The cooking smoke had already risen from the Darum-Lou house, just around the corner as well. I'm sure Sheila-Lou is partitioning the job there. If I thought that the men were still sleeping together, that they were nowhere to be seen - and so on, there was a shadow of Mitsuzu, large and small, in Kamadu's cabin.

"Oh, you're finally here. Good day, Asta."

Relaxing in Kamadu huts were Rudd-Lu, Sin-Luu and Mida-Lu. It is quite a strange sight for a man to wander into a shack.

"Hey, what were you doing here?

"Sticky. I was just killing my time because there was so much noise around me that I wouldn't go to sleep. We'll find out as soon as Asta and the others get here."

While stating it that way, the Rudd-Loux and the others came out of nowhere.

"So, was there something you wanted to do for me?

"I don't have an errand. Mida-Lou said to see Asta."

The Mida-Lou stared down at me with his crushed eyes. Words are scarce and it's hard to move his expression, Mida-Lou, but he's missed me a lot. With all my sincere pleasure, I made Mida-Lou laugh.

"It's a crackling feast today. Can't wait to cook the feast now, can you?

"Yeah...... I'm glad Asta cooks today too...?

It was this dialogue that followed Ama Min-Rutim. At the wedding of Darum-Lou and Sheila-Lou, only the special dishes of the bride and groom were to be made by me. At that time, there was only about me and Ai-Fa, so the policy was to make feast dishes out of Luu's blood.

"Oh, duh, thank you. Well, today, I'll borrow this kamado."

and Malfira-Naham was bowing his head to Sin-Luu and Mida-Lu. Apparently they grasp not only the main house, but even the composition of the branch. Sin-Luu is the head of this house and Mida-Lu is the family.

"Ah... Mida knew about you...?

and Mida-Lou turned to Malfira-Naham for each giant.

Malfira-Naham said, "Huh? Huh?" He swims his eyes.

"Ah, yes. My name is Malfira-Naham, my third sister in Naham, and I greeted you the other day. It's an honor to meet you."

"No, I don't think so. It's like Mida-Lou originally asked Sheila-Lou about you."

and Rudd-Lou, with his hands behind his head, provided a supplementary explanation.

"My brother and Sheila-Lou live in this Mida-built house over here, and we're having dinner together at Sin-Lou's house. It's like your story was up again and again."

"Mm-hmm. I do remember hearing that a few times. But Naham's house wasn't very familiar to me, so Mida and I lost it."

Sin-Lu joins it in a quiet voice.

Malfira-Naham was swimming his eyes in a bewildered manner.

"Oh, well, you did. Hey, I wish it wasn't some bad story..."

"It's not a bad story or anything. That's exactly what he said when he first started helping Asta, that he might have great talent. Then again, I guess the moon is a long time away."

"So-so. If you're going to help Asta today, how excited are you to cook a feast?

While stating it that way, Rudd-Lou pounded Mida-Lou's smug stomach. Instead of nodding, Mida-Lou is blinking at all costs.

"Yeah... Mida's looking forward to it too...?

"And, that's outrageous. Wow, I'm just immature thinking about it so that nothing fails."

And - so to the lid, Malfira-Naham set his gaze on Mida-Lou.

Spread a grin in your mouth as you look up at Mida-Lou's giant.

"So, but... I'd be very happy if you guys were happy"

"Yeah......" Mida-Lou blinks again.

Somehow, it was a warm-hearted structure.

"Come on, then. Let's get to work. We're running out of time."

"Starting so early, is that too much? I won't bother you, can I show you something for a while?

"Yeah, I don't mind. It's just been a while, so maybe we don't get to taste it very often."

So we decided to start work while Rudd-Lou and the others watched us.

If the Kamado number is seven, the space is loose there, so Rudd-Lou and Sin-Lou are lined up around the entrance. Exactly Mida-Lou couldn't have done that, so he had prepared a bunch of firewood just outside the entrance and settled the giant there.

"Speaking of which, I'm going to stop learning to tour the blood house this time."

After a while, Rudd-Lou will raise his voice that way.

"Huh? Is that about that masterpiece that reveals the bride and groom during the day?

"So-so. 'Cause most of the ladies, they're all coming this way, right? The last time I was brother Durm, it was a rest period, so the men stayed home. Today, most homes will be empty after Jomtien."

Exactly, if you ask me. Human beings who can't help Kamadu with his work, such as toddlers and old people, may still be at home, but I'm sure that's also a very small number.

"So, the wedding that brings all of the blood clans together means there's no point in touring the house. When it's Jomtien, we'll go into the woods as usual and hunt for Gibba."

"Oh well... one more thing, you're going to be able to change the Lew family's mastery"

"Hmm? That's a depressing voice."

"No, I'm not depressed. I think it's a little painful to change a long-lasting lesson… I guess that's the effect of bringing laborious cooking methods to the woods."

"No, you don't have to worry about it. Nobody wants Poitan juice."

and Rudd-Lou cheerfully laughed.

"Besides, there's no such thing as a wedding that brings all the blood clans together, because you don't. Wouldn't it be about the men in Rue's main house, the parents of his family, and then the eldest brother in Rutim and Ray's main house? This time, the wedding of Shmiral-Lilyn, who was originally an outside man, was supposed to bring us all together specially."

"Oh well. I've only been to a big wedding, but it just so happens."

"Oh. Even after I was born, I only had about two other weddings like that. Uh, Brother Giza's wedding and then... yes, it's Gillan-Lillin's wedding. The other heads of household were married before I was born."

As I proceeded with my work, I asked him to say "so-so" again.

When Gazran-Rutim and Darum-Lou were there, I was so shaken by the way I saw the parade coming back to the Lou family. I felt it was painful for me to lose that lesson - how difficult all this seemed to be.

"What, are you still not convinced?

and Rudd-Lou approached slightly.

Pale brown eyes peek into my face from the side.

"Um, wedding mastery was born to share joy, wasn't it? It's no different to share the joy when the lesson of walking around a blood house just turns into a lesson of time and effort for delicious food. So Asta says you don't have to worry about it."

"Ugh, yeah, sorry. Did I make you worry about Rud-Lew?

"On the other hand, I'm not worried about Asta. I just don't want you to look snug on my sister Vina's wedding day."

Rudd-Lou turned that way and tongued out.

It is an adorable trick, very similar to Lara-Luu. So I could finally get rid of my backwards feelings, too.

"I get it. For Rud-Lew, it's an important sister's wedding, isn't it? I'll do my best to do the same."

"It happened before. Mida-Lou isn't the only one looking forward to Asta's cooking."

Rud-Lu finally pulled back to Sin-Lu.

I'll throw words at you as you simmer plenty of water in an iron pan.

"Well, then, how do Vina-Lou and Schmiral-Lilyn spend their nights? No way, I wouldn't help you prepare for a feast or head out for a giva hunting job, would I?

"Sister Vina has been stuck in Ziva's room since morning. Schmiral-Lilyn was here with Lilyn's ladies, so I'm guessing they're dealing with kids in some house."

Schmiral-Lilyn had already come to the Lew family.

That only made me twitch and warm in my chest.

"Say hello to Schmiral-Lilyn. - Shall we see which house you're in?

"No... I'm fine now. My job is to cook fine feast dishes. I'll greet you once I've finished my work."

I'm sure Schmiral-Lilyn is now also quietly sharing his joy with other blood clans. Just imagine Schmiral-Lilyn talking to the Lilyn women and toddlers who conceived the child, and I was in the mood to be reckoned with the joy.
