719 Chinese Candlestick ② - Blessing Rite

After that, I was supposed to do what I did while chewing on my happiness in the back of my chest.

Once on the way, I was allowed to greet Schmiral-Lilyn, and then join Raina-Lou for a special dish. Others will have spent most of their time in the Kamadu cabin of the Sing-Lou family until sunset.

I've kept the steps neatly in place in the last seven days, so there are no more deficiencies in the work. In other Kamadu huts, the work is going on in the same way. Unusual enthusiasm was felt swirling in Luu's settlement before the feast began.

The Tour-dins who encourage me to work with them also look serious in themselves, yet very daunting. To be honest, the Fay-Baim and Rats ladies weren't quite as numbered with such distinguished arms - I had the impression that they had peeled off in the last few days of intensive practice.

"This is how the six families, including Fa, hold hands every harvest festival. We've only been to this kind of work about the feast of rapprochement that welcomed the people of the South... so I'm so proud of you."

The Ladies of Rats, for example, had just stated that.

"I am increasingly looking forward to the day when we will be touring the harvest festival, which will take place in the Six Families. It would be a pleasure if we could have a harvest festival together."

The second half of the words were directed at the women of Fay-Beim and Matua. If their parents decided to work on the joint harvest festival, they would have a harvest festival with them near the house.

Enjoying that conversation, we move on with our work - time passes steadily. Eventually, when the sunset approached, it seemed that first the Luu family men had returned from the woods, and that blood families such as Rutim and Ray, as well as non-blood guests, had come to visit one after another.

That is how I visited it, it is sunset.

When I did all the work and went out to the square, it was filled with people who wanted to reach another 150.

The men wrap around the hunter's clothes, and the women wrap around the feast costume. Under the purple nod of the sky, as I watched the sight with emotion, the guests, not the people of the woods, approached me in large numbers.

"Hey Asta, good job! It's unusual to have one Asta!

Guests from the boarding town - five of them Yumi, Terrier-Mass, Tara, Kamua-Josh and Leyt. Yumi, wrapped in a feast costume unbeatable by the woodland ladies, was already a face that seemed sincerely enjoyable.

"Oh, the yummies were here, too. This one was working until just now, so everyone else is in the middle of changing to a banquet costume."

"Uh, I see! I'm looking forward to a feast dish because I finished it with a bun today."

I laugh at the nagging humi and then I turn my gaze to Terrier-Mass.

"Terrier-Mass, too, good job. Was the inn okay?

"Yes, I'd like to start tomorrow for all the inconvenience that will be caused to everyone"

Terrier-Mass, who describes it as such, was an outfit with shawls, flower decorations, etc. added to his regular outfit. In front of Levi, I guess I refrained from borrowing the exposed banquet costume from Yumi. Its face was also filled with anticipation and excitement about the feast by the woods.

Tara, equally decorated with flowers, is grinning. Camua-Josh and Leyt are more like the same. Laughing with a slight face, Camua-Josh also spoke to me.

"Sounds like Mel Fried and the others came right after us. It looked like Polearth wanted to say hello to Asta... well this is a Luu family feast and I guess we should wait for the opportunity"

"Yes, I will take the time to greet you when the feast begins"

Following Camua-Josh's gaze, the Alvakhs' lengths were questioned right next to the main house. Seems like the ones holding back by them are Ziza-Lou and Rudd-Lou. The others seemed to be winding the space slightly farther.

After all, we are in front of Sin-Lu's house. After enjoying the bickering on the spot for a while, the doorboard at the front door opened up in momentum.

From there emerged the eye-fa of the banquet costume.

Occasionally, Yumi and Kamua-Josh were to speak out in praise.

"Wow, Ai-Fa's banquet costume is crackling! I knew it was beautiful!

"Yeah, yeah, really hey.... Oops, I should have kept my mouth shut."

Ai-Fa silently beckoned the guests as they entered with a cold, faceless look.

A more colorful shade of outfit than usual and a shawl on a jade bug colored vale. Shining on his head were the hair ornaments of a transparent rose, with a blue stone neckline at the neck - and somewhat below that neckline, almost to the chest, was also lowered the silver neckline given to him by the Arvakhs.

After all, it is a breathtaking necklace. The yellow topaz-like gems glimmer fantastically in the dusk sunlight, and the refined sculpted silver pedestal further colors it. It was still aiming yumi that I realized its brilliance as soon as possible.

"That's an amazing ornament! Maybe a gift from the mountain people?

"Hmmm...... even though it's a banquet costume, isn't it just gorgeous?

"That's not true! It looks great on I-Fa! Really, I just look like some princess."

In praise from same-sex, Ai-Fa also rarely brings out forestside lessons. As a result, I = fa was to hold his mouth with a bumpy face.

From then on, Yun-Sudra and the others, who were helping me to dress Ai-Fa, also come out of nowhere. Yumi and the others were greeting each other again and celebrating their reunion.

"Oh, you misjudged me, too!

It was against Malfira-Naham that Yumi so praised him.

Malfira-Naham also loosens her hair and decorates herself with bug-colored vales and shawls. As far as ornaments were concerned, although the boring things that were rubbed with flowers and nuts were predominant, the neck was still lowered with the ornaments given to it by the nobles of Gerd.

The Yun-Sudra and Fay-Baim have lowered similar necklaces, but each of them has slightly different designs and gemstone types. Glittering on the Malfira-Naham neckline is a thin peachy gem.

A glimpse of Malfira-Naham's feast costume, Yumi backed off a few steps with a twinkle of "Hmm".

"You've been acting like a very old daughter lately, haven't you? But you're a year younger than me?

"Ha, yes. Wow, I'll be sixteen."

"Oh well. Um, I see...... why don't you put some more spine up and stand up dignified? Don't blur your neck or shoulders, keep your chest up like this."

"Here, here, is this it?

Malfira-Naham followed Yumi's instructions, if he let his eyes swim.

but it shrinks quickly and fashionably.

"And, also, I'm sorry. Wow, if I'm not in this position, my breath will become painful. I'm sure the bone making is in this shape already."

"Oh well. You're so tall and soothing, I think you'll look so much better just by improving your posture."

Malfira-Naham strokes his shoulder over the cat's back. Yumi seemed to be sorry for a while, but spilled her white teeth "Come on, come on".

"You're you, you're adorable! Even as it is, it's fascinating enough!

"Or, are you adorable? Well, I've never been told that before in my life."

"That means you didn't have the one around you with the eyes to see.... I mean, it's a lesson you shouldn't praise on the outside by the woods, right? I'm sure there's plenty of men out there who like you."

"Oh, well, is it? I don't think so."

In that way, we enjoyed the moment before the feast.

Tara and Terrier-Mass are also smiling and exchanging words with other women. Everyone in this room is a regular customer with a stall store, so they are all close to each other.

That's how time went too far, and when I finally couldn't rely on the remnants of the sunlight - Donda-Lou's heavy voice echoed.

"Then I'd rather start a wedding feast than this. … First of all, I'd like to introduce you to guests who are not of blood."

That is a sign that the Guests should gather. We got together and moved to the center of the square where the ritual fire was ready.

The men of the smaller clan, scattered all over, also rendezvous, and the Melfrieds come over here with guidance from Giza-Lou. Those members were to be sidelined and exposed to their appearance before the blood of Luu.

"Asta, that's terrible."

and a big shadow standing next to me, laughing from the top of my head. It was a trinity chief, Dari-Sauti. The offering is the young ladies of Vera.

Dari-Sauti and I wanted to talk carefully, but the introduction of the guests by Donda-Lou began immediately. Bloodless guests are the first to be bored with their names and identities.

First of all, the chieftaincy Dali-Souti and the ladies of Vera. Georg-Zaza and Sphilla-Zaza. Dick-Dom and Lem-Dom. Tour-din and din men. This was followed by two men and women of the smaller clan, Fa, Sudra, Baim, Ratz, Matua and Naham - except that the other side of Yun-Sudra is Joo-Run of the bloodline Run family.

So next up, guests in your capacity. Six people: Melfried, Polearth, Fermes, Gemd, Alvach and Nanaquestem. The soldiers of the escort are on guard at the entrance to the settlement and will not be introduced.

Last but not least, five people from the lodging town, Yumi, Terrier-Mass, Tara, Kamua-Josh and Leyt.

Moreover, after that, the names of the guests of the dwelling, Barsha, Zida, Michele and Mime, had also been given.

The total number of guests without blood ranges from 31. If we add the Balshas, we'll have 35.

The Luu bloodline that welcomes it, minus the toddlers under the age of five and the women who take care of them, is more than a hundred - perhaps nearly 120 in number. It was still rolling that so many forestside people would assemble in the same place.

"This time, the wedding of Schmiral-Lilyn, which was originally a bloodline not for the people of the woodland, led us to welcome so many guests. Originally, a wedding would be something to celebrate only by blood... In view of the special origins of Schmiral-Lilyn, I accepted. I want to believe that word because every guest has given me an agreement never to stand in the way of the wedding."

Only Donda-Lou's voice echoed in the quiet square.

"And... some of them include guests who just wanted to see this wedding, without ever having faced Schmiral-Lilyn or Vina-Lou... even so, I hope I can share a little of the joy of this platter day"

I can't even hear one of the shivers when it comes to this large crowd of humans.

In such overwhelming silence, Donda-Lou circled his gaze.

"Lilyn's parents, Gillan-Lilyn, come forward."

Gillan-Lillin advanced in a relaxed foothold and lined up next to Donda-Lou.

Donda-Lou nods one thing and looks around at us.

"Then I want to start the wedding. I want the guests to step back."

Guests from Moribe and Accommodation Town split among the people of Luu's blood, while guests from Castle Town pulled into the sidelines.

In the dim, Donda-Lou shakes up his right arm.

"Give me the ritual fire!

Sin-Lu and another young hunter lit the ritual fire from left to right.

Behind Donda-Lou and Gillan-Lillin, a giant flame flames up.

And as he pursued it, so was the burning that surrounded the square.

"I'm giving you a wedding. Both names, come here!

A lot of silence comes.

But it was soon broken with a grand cheer.

From the other side of the ritual fire emerged Schmiral-Lilyn and Vina-Lou.

Schmiral-Lilyn wore a banquet costume that the men were only allowed to wear on this day.

A specially tailored hunter's coat, decorated around the shoulder with Giva's head. The leather sheath of the knife, lowered to the waist, is decorated with elaborate embroidery and beautiful stones, and both torso and leg coats are more decorative than usual outfits. And what's on your head is a bright green grass crown.

The long hair of silver, usually bound in the back, was now naturally draped, which also gracefully adorned the figure of Schmiral-Lilyn.

He is a long-sleeved but more luxuriously physique Schmiral-Lilyn than a normal forestside man. That would be the hard part if I told him if he was as brave as Gazran-Rutim or Dalm-Lou, although he was never under the impression that he was weak.

But it never looked inferior to the Gazran-Rutims.

Schmiral-Lilyn has a strange air, which only Schmiral-Lilyn has. Very quiet, very gentle, very soft - maybe that's the only air Schmiral-Lilyn had that dumped Sims and became a forest folk.

Originally, the people of the east consider it a disgrace to express their emotions. I switched God and threw myself into a new lesson, putting myself in such a lesson for more than twenty years. That's what Schmiral-Lilyn is all about.

I wonder if that feeling creates this kind of air, trying so hard to express my emotions. Schmiral-Lilyn was walking slowly with a very quiet, very gentle, very soft smile.

That's how Vina-Lou walks.

This is also a special bridesmaid garment that is only allowed at the wedding.

All of its supple limbs are wrapped in a bug-colored vale. That is lit by the ritual fire, as if Vina-Lou himself was glowing.

Also, in fact - today's Vina-Lou was a radiant beauty.

He wears a lot more ornaments than Ama Min-Lutim or Sheila-Lou once did. An extravagant necklace would surely be a gift from the people of the mountains. Other than that, they wear numerous ornaments, as if they were proud of the prosperity of the Lou family, but more importantly, Vina-Lou herself was beautiful.

Always soggy, slightly drooling, colorful eyes are laid down softly. There is no expression on its endearing surface, just quietly walking forward, but Vina-Lou was as beautiful as a goddess of beauty.

What is usually perceived as colour or pheromone is converted into something different, like glowing - such a marvel, I was being tasted.

(but...... how happy they both seem)

Schmiral-Lilyn and Vina-Lou are not exactly leaning on each other. I keep about a minute's distance from each human being in between, walking. Yet I'm sure you feel your presence closer than anything else. How much you two think about each other and how happy you feel about this moment right now - it was as if it was coming through different things.

The families of Lou and Lilyn surround both of those names. Leading the way were Rimi-Lou, a 10-year-old boy from Lilyn's house, and Mama Meer Ray-Lilyn and Ur Ray-Lilyn, left and right.

Eventually, when we reach before the ritual fire, the distance between the two names stands further apart, in the place of their respective parents. The Rimi-Lou and the others stood further outside it.

"This is the wedding I give you today, Schmiral-Lilyn and Vina-Lou.... the families of both names and offerings should proceed to the wedding seat"

The six of them gratefully return to the other side of the ritual fire. In the space around the front of the main house, about two meters in height is built.

Six people can see their hips settling over Yagura on a burning ritual fire. It was as if it were divine as a page of mythology.

"This time, I stopped learning to tour the house of my blood family at the height of the day. At this hour, I ask you to bless me. … Let's start with the Lew bloodline"

People turn to their feet. The approximate order is laid down, first of all, with the parent Lew family person, then with the person of Lilyn, who is a party to the wedding, and then with the leading family members, Rutim and Ray - something that did not lead to a contested order, when about 150 people said it was packed.

Waiting for that order, Ai-Fa peeks into me from the side.

"Yeah? What's wrong, Ai-Fa?

"No... impressively, you don't seem to be spilling tears today"

"Yeah. I'm stuck in my chest right now, and my breath hurts. Looking forward to seeing where you decide to break it."

"Don't let the fool out. Sometimes you have to see it through to the end."

I was blurry to think that was an impossible consultation.

In my head, the last year and a half or so of memories are swirling around. Now it was like, a running lantern.

In this settlement of Lou, when Vina-Lou and I first looked at each other - that night, when Vina-Lou had set up a night crawl - or the appearance of Vina-Lou, who was turning over an iron pot of feast dishes to tear eyes, or when Rud-Lou and I went down to the boarding town together - different things were actually happening with Vina-Lou at the time we met.

In the first place, the first person to help me with my stall was Vina-Lou.

Back then, I was carrying iron pans and ingredients with me because we were both working on the street commerce and there was no tototoss or luggage car present. In those days, it would undoubtedly have been Vina-Lou that I spent the next long time with Ai-Fa.

From the house of Fa to the lodging town, it only takes an hour on foot. On that journey, Vina-Lou and I went back and forth every day. Stuffed the food and ingredients in a heavy iron pan and stepped over a suspension bridge of fear - and even then during the business, we talked about it in two different ways. Hearing that the most reassuring of the brothers is Darum-Lou, the terrible surprise remains strong in my heart.

Of course, the period of time you two were working on the stall is very short. It would be like four or five days at most. The lodging town was quickly well received, so it quickly came to a situation where Lara-Lu and Sheila-Lu were also asked to help.

But Lara-Luu and the others had gone directly from the Luu family to the Inn Town, so the commute time was still between Vina-Lu and me. That only lasted until Gill came to Fa's house.

Besides - during the four or five days that Vina-Lou and I were in business alone, there were really different things going on. It was also within that period that I met the men of Balan, and Yumi, and Mida-Lou, and Tae-Sung.

And so is Schmiral-Lilyn.

Our meeting with Schmiral-Lilyn was supposed to be the second day we opened the stall.

(Balan's old man fussed that there was no way Giva's meat was delicious... in the meantime, the Schmirals bought us a dish flat out)

So the next day, a bunch of architects and a pot of silver came to the same inscription again, becoming a culinary companion to the stall, so noisy that a guard was called.

It was a noisy day.

And since then, Schmiral-Lilyn has been favoring me and Guiba cuisine.

And also against Vina-Lou - I guess.

(Anyway, Schmiral doesn't change his expression at all, so I had no idea when he might have thought of Vina-Lou)

But I was always starting to figure it out, too. At least, long before Schmiral-Lilyn took action, he wondered if Vina-Lou had any suspicions about it - and he was going around imagining it.

It was only a few days before the Silver Pot left Genos that Schmiral-Lilyn took action.

Vina-Lou has screwed up his legs at home, and Schmiral-Lilyn has asked me to pay him a visit.

That was the day we bought the luggage. After finishing the stall business, I was meeting up with Ai-Fa at Kimmus's Tail Pavilion, and Schmiral-Lilyn ran out of breath.

You can't leave Genos without face-to-face with Vina-Lou like this - I guess that's what drives Schmiral-Lilyn to rush.

The following day, Schmiral-Lilin visited the settlement of Luu. At last, Fa's house was also visited. Following Camua-Josh, it was supposed to be the second guest to visit the woodland.

Thus, a few days later - the day before leaving Genos - Schmiral-Lilin finally revealed his feelings for Vina-Lou.

I love you about Vina-Lou.

I want you to bond your marriage.

To this end, we will transfer God from Sim to Selva.

The answer is, I want you to let me hear it in six months.

That's how Schmiral-Lilyn left Genos behind.

(That's the 31st of the Blue Moon... over a year and three months ago)

After more than a year and three months, Schmiral-Lilyn and Vina-Lou sit in that place.

What a long way it's come - and I've been secretly stuffing my chest again.

"… then ask the Forestside Guests to bless you"

Donda-Lou's voice sounded, and Ai-Fa followed my arm with her elbow.

"Let's go. Don't go into the ritual fire."

"Oh, yeah, I'm fine."

As we walked to Yakura, Yun-Sudra and the others were waiting for us there.

From above Yakura, Dari-Sauti and others are about to descend, and George-Zaza and Dick-Dom are about to follow suit. I also saw the men of Tour-Din and Din.

"Next to the chieftaincy muscle, Fa's house is yours. Asta and Ai-Fa are the ones who have the deepest relationship with Schmiral-Lilyn and Vina-Lou."

Yun-Sudra smiles briskly as she unwinds the side tail and drapes her grey-brown hair for a long time.

We nodded over there, and then we followed Tul-din and the others on their backs.

Gibba's horns and fangs are given to him, and it is transferred to a grass cage in the hands of Rimi-Lou and the others. The Georg-Zazas had put aside just saying "bless" and the Schmiral-Lillins were giving it back.

When the men of Tour-Din and Din finished the ritual, the next was me and Ai-Fa.

Schmiral-Lilyn and Vina-Lou stare at us silently.

There was a quiet smile on both faces.

But Schmiral-Lilyn, what a gracious expression.

Vina-Lou, what a happy look.

Different memories sparked in my head and my vision clouded only for a moment.

In the next moment, the two smiles were fading away.

"Already... what are you crying about, Asta..."

Vina-Lou calls in the usual relaxed voice.

Trying to soak up their eyes, they were smiling the same way.

Limi-Lu, Lilyn's boy, Meer Ray's mother, and Ur Ray-Lilyn were both laughing.

"I have decided today that I will never cry... so I would appreciate it if you wouldn't disturb me..."

"Shh, excuse me. Congratulations on your seat."

I managed to laugh back, soaking up tears that never stopped.

Beyond the jade bug-colored vale, Vina-Lou is smiling.

"Just kidding... for us, thank you..."

"Yes. Asta, Ai-Fa, I appreciate it. And on this day, joy, joy, joy to share, heartfelt, joy"

Is this how the person who celebrates the wedding gets a quiet mood?

With that in mind, I broke my knee before Schmiral-Lilyn.

Next door, Ai-Fa is kneeling in front of Vina-Lou.

"Congratulations. I sincerely congratulate you both on your wedding."

I handed Gibba's fangs to Schmiral-Lilyn.

"Thank you," Schmiral-Lilyn narrows her eyes.

Those black eyes were filled with tears.

Vina-Lou's cheeks already have a clear tear on them. The glow of the worm-colored vale only hid it.

The moment I realized that, I had spilled more tears than ever before, and without Ai-Fa's help, I could hardly get down Yakura.
