The fifth day of the purple moon - the three puppeteers Rico, Belton and Van-Deiro - were to leave Genos that morning.
"I really owe everyone by the woods a favor from what to what. I am the one who brought you all together to make up the story of Asta... but I find it sincerely difficult to meet everyone by the woods!
On the morning of his departure, Rico was telling me that.
The place is in front of Fa's house. We had dinner at Fa's house last night and revealed another night in this open space.
Four days have passed since Rico and the others performed their puppet plays in Luu's settlement. In those four days, Rico and his men toured the houses of all the families by the woods and performed the puppet play everywhere.
Neither did the people of Castle Town place orders on the content of the play. It's what we saw, and it's going to be spread to the public in the future. After all, there was a lot of embarrassment in it, but it wasn't hard to fool the mind if you think it was meant to kick the wind out of it.
"Then the next time we see each other is the Sun God's Easter. How long are you planning on coming back?
"I can't say anything about that, but we want to rush to 'Dawn Day' at the latest"
In Genos, the town of Inn begins to flourish around the middle of the purple moon. But only the production of the festival began on the 22nd, the "Dawn Day".
"Well, then, about half a month from now. I look forward to seeing you again."
"Mm-hmm. It's a disaster.... well, if you were here, you wouldn't have to be afraid of anything."
Ai-Fa had a gentle look and was watching Van-Deiro.
Van-Deiro also has an unfathomable look, while only his eyes feel calm.
And - So Ai-Fa turned her gaze like she was in pain. The destination of the gaze is the exit of the vacant land that leads to the path by the woods.
There was not enough to wait, and from there two figures appeared spanning Totos.
If you think of someone, it is a combination of Camua-Josh and Leyt's mentors.
"Hey, hey, hi. Looks like you managed to make it."
Camua-Josh jumped from Totos to Hilariously after approaching our sight. Ey-fa and Belton are urchins, Van Deiro is faceless, and Rico has a decent face, each of whom sees the look of it.
"Earlier this morning, what the hell happened? No way, to drop off the Van-Deiro guys?
"No, no, I thought we'd accompany Van-Deiro, too. Or don't worry, it's just going around after you on your own"
"Oh, my God, that," Belton hoisted his brow.
"Follow us around, what are we going to do? Are you kidding me?
"There is no annihilation. I haven't talked to Van Deiro enough yet, so I was just hoping to accompany him. If you want to go back to Genos during Easter, it would be convenient."
"Haha," Rico laughed.
"You're really, really obsessed with Van Deiro, aren't you, Camua-Josh? I'm so proud of you."
"Hey, I guess you don't understand, do you? If you're walking with such a frigid guy, you don't need it. You're just gonna make a scene, right?
"Camua-Josh is an authorised Guardian in the King's Capital, right? Aren't we worldly more frigid?
Without giving in only, Rico was responding that way.
"Besides, we don't know anything about this neighborhood. Wouldn't it be so comforting if Camua-Josh stayed by my side?"
"Speaking of which, you said you were new to Genos. Were you usually wandering the more westerly neighborhoods?
"Yes, the central districts of Selva and Jagal were decent patrol destinations. That would be the safest area. My mother and I were talking about putting our legs up on Genos... but only me and Belton were going to visit."
Rico smiles brightly as he shakes it off, almost having a sad look for just a moment.
In return, Camua-Josh also smiled lovingly.
"I've been based in Genos lately. I think I can show you as much as I can with this neighborhood."
"Thank you. Best regards,"
"Come on, you're taking me!," Belton raised his dissatisfied voice again.
His eyes glimpse more of Leyt, who is smiling calmly. Temperament seems to be the opposite, but speaking of which, they were of the same generation.
(Maybe I'm more alert to Late, not Camus)
I don't know what the relationship is between Belton and Rico. But, well, only being an important compatriot would be certain. In doing so, it may have been hard for my mind to feel at ease that my generation of boys, grown up like Leyt and yet hard to read inside, approached my dear Rico.
"So, which way should I show you?
"Right. We came from the streets to the west, so we wanted to explore other strange territories if possible."
"Hmm. From here to Sims to the east, it's an extended free border zone. So, going south, as soon as it's Jagal territory... I guess I should head north to show Asta's play to my Selva compatriots. If you're going back in half a month, you're not afraid to approach Mahydra's territory."
"Yes, then, let's head north!
Without even knowing what was in Belton's heart, Rico smiled and turned to me and I-Fa.
"Now, we're leaving! Asta and Ai-Fa, please be well!
Thus the lively guests followed Fa's house.
Ai-Fa shrugs her shoulder, "Oh man," while holding back the iron pan she had placed at her feet.
"If even Camua-Josh were added to Van Deiro, you wouldn't have to worry about anything. It was a noisy day at all."
"With that said, isn't it a shame to say goodbye to Van-Deiro?
Even when I chilled like that, I-Fa just smiled calmly.
"Is there anything unfortunate or unusual about saying that we can meet again after half a month? Let's get to work."
Copy that, Parent.
As a matter of fact, there were a number of other cases overlapping today. Speaking of me personally, I was going to attend a meeting at the Inn Chamber of Commerce, and it was the day of the meeting between the chief and the nobleman, given the people of the woods.
In the run-up to Easter, the Chamber of Commerce will have a variety of agendas ahead of it. Moreover, at the meeting of chiefs and nobles, a number of important agenda votes are scheduled to be taken. I was in no rush to send the nobles of Gerd out safely and say that they had just finally settled on the puppet play as well.
In addition, after visiting the Silver Star Hall in Castle Town on the next holiday, it has been offered to the Kamadoku number of your Lady's Tea Party. When that is done, the harvest festival of the Six Families will also be imminent at present. That was all that was left of the event before Easter.
(Really, boredom is an unrelated day to the word)
I had a definite sense of happiness in my chest, and I could think of it that way.
◇
First of all, it is the street business in the lodging town.
While working on the job, it was Mim who had a stuck face the whole time.
Mim and Michelle, Zida and Barsha. What kind of life will these two parents and children lead in the future - it was also decided at today's meeting.
"... the mimes just wanted to be a family by the woods, didn't they?
Ray-Matua, who worked for the sale of 'Giva Curry' at the same stall as me, comes softly into my ears.
"And yet the fact that Mim looks so worried... also threatens to be opposed by the nobles, does that mean?
"Yeah. From what I've seen, it felt like Lord Malstein was going to weigh my intentions on this one. I wonder if it could be overshadowed if the other nobles spoke against it."
I made him answer that way.
Neither did the mimes ever want to be a family by the woods in a light-hearted way. I sincerely hoped that my readiness would be rewarded.
That day - on the 18th of the Blue Moon, when we were summoned to Castle Town, it was a story that since the treatment of the Michels had been eliminated, there had been more than once a place for discussion had been set up in the settlement of Luu.
First, Michelle and Barsha had to decide how to shake themselves. Even at that stage, I heard from Barsha himself that it was quite difficult to navigate.
"To be honest, I've been thinking that Zida would be happier to be a forest folk like this. I just didn't think about myself."
Barsha used to say that.
Zida had a splendid giva hunting job, and she is such a hunter that she has climbed up to brave men in comparison to the power of the harvest festival. If it were such a Zida, it would be possible to live happily as a hunter by the woods - Barsha said that's how he thought.
Barsha, however, has not fulfilled his giva hunting duties. And they hunted the wild birds that went forth in the morning, and took them out of the city, and fed them every day. Of course, Zida was doing the giva hunting job, so it was quite possible to live healthy with just the fangs, horns and meat you get from it, and Barsha was also doing her job as a lady after midheaven. From my point of view, it was never a shoulder blame life, but there seemed to be a lot to think about as a person.
"Whatever. I was a hunter's man. I never dreamed that I would be welcomed by a family by the woods who couldn't fulfill my giva hunting job."
So how did Barsha intend to spend after leaving Zida by the woods?
Apparently, Barsha was thinking of leaving Genos and wandering all over the place without hesitation.
"It's harder for me to go home to Masala than it's revealed that I was the Red Beard Party. I'm sick and tired of being sneered at, and... if there's a big idiot who's going to create a second Red Beard Party, maybe he'll think about taking me out? He said he didn't want to get caught up in that kind of trouble, which is the real deal."
So he said he didn't put down roots on any land, lived as a rootless windmill, and was trying to return his soul unknowingly.
When Zida heard about it, she blasted her anger.
"You were thinking such absurdity without any consultation with me in your family!
"What is it? You didn't even jump out of Masala without asking me to stop you. You're not the only one complaining."
"That and this are different stories! I... I just wanted to clear up my father Gollum's carelessness! I didn't abandon my hometown and my family because I liked them!
I only listened later, but Zida must have stuffed her mother with her eyes burning like a beast.
Moreover, Mime and others, who were listening in the same place, were taken to Barsha in tears.
"Neither do I want to be separated from Barsha. Of course I want to continue living by the woods... with Barsha and Zida, I've always wanted to be with them."
The first of these parent-child combinations to deepen the bond was between Mime and Barsha. He had first taken a short trip to Dalaim, and then asked Barsha to escort him to the stalls on Easter. Even though it was at the same time as Michelle who gained face-to-face knowledge, it was Mime who spent a long time, plus personality issues. It was a plausible story that the social mime deepened the bond as soon as possible rather than the unfathomable Michele.
But if you're talking face-to-face, it was Michelle and Zida who showed up the earliest.
When I was exposed to Leflaia, Zida contacted Michele to locate Count Turan's residence in Castle Town. Such an encounter had taken place before Mim and Barsha showed up on the stage. With that in mind, it is probably an edge spinning over a much more quaint tour.
It was roughly a year and two ago that Zida and Barsha became part of the Lou family.
It was roughly eleven months ago that Mim and Michelle became Luu's guests.
From that eleven months ago, the parents and children of the lid set live in the same house. When the house collapsed in the devastating earthquake, it became a hassle for another house, and then began to live with it again in a newly built house. It would have been painful together, as if it were a real family.
It still seemed mime to have the strongest obsession with such a life.
Turan declined as a town, so the young man went out of nowhere. So Mim had no friends of his generation, and even at home he was dawning in culinary training. He was supposed to be born in Castle Town, but by the time he was about five, he had already moved to Turan, so he had little memory left. And his father, Michelle, always seemed drunk and sinking to the bottom of despair.
It was last year that changed my life.
Michelle stopped talking alcohol and introduced Mim to me - Asta at Fa's house. That's how he spinned the edge with the people of the woods, started trading stalls in the lodging town, and after the ordeal of being deprived of his possessions by the bandits, he synthesized it with the guests of the Lew family.
For a mime only eleven years old, that would have been a tumultuous day.
And Mim found irreplaceable happiness in it.
Is that why Michelle strongly hoped to keep Mim in her current environment?
Mim is better off in a woodland settlement, where she can gain irresistible experience as a cook. That would also have been Michelle's true intent, but above all, she didn't want to destroy Mime's new life as she seemed happy. It didn't seem to me that that was what I wanted most.
In polar terms, even if you return to Turan, you can attend a study group by the woods. As Polearth put it, if the safety of Turan and nearby streets could be ensured, it shouldn't have been that difficult to attend a study group by the woods and return to Turan's home after doing the stall business.
But still, Michelle wanted to stay by the woods.
I thought my daughter's happiness is in this place - didn't I?
Also, in fact, Michelle seemed to pass on words close to it to Donda-Lou.
"Mim grew up straight and innocent, even though he was raised by a father like me who couldn't. If it was him, I think I could live fine as a forest folk. … and that seems to be the happiest raw for him"
So why don't you just pick me up as a family by the woods - and that's what Michelle said.
If the nobles want to go back to Turan, you just have to go back. That way, you won't even be able to put on the difficulty. That's what Michelle initially said.
Of course, it was Mim who raged.
This was a diagram that remained exactly like Zida's against Barsha.
"Why do I have to be the only family by the woods!? If you stay away from your father, who is only one family, it doesn't make sense!
In short, both Michelle and Barsha wished their children all the best, and they were second only to none about themselves.
It may be a natural emotion as a parent, but of course I wouldn't have been convinced by the child mime or zida. Even for me, I agree with that. Mime and Zida are the only families by the woods, and I didn't even think about the possibility of Michelle and Barsha leaving by the woods.
"What about you guys? Are you ready to be a family by the woods?
After being blamed for it, Barsha said he disputed it that way.
The first person to answer it was Zida.
"I... in the mountains of Masala, have not tried to deepen my bonds with others. Soon I would leave the land and dedicate everything to clear my father's thoughts, so I didn't have to bond with anyone else."
"I was the one who raised you like that, wasn't I? I'm really sorry about the bottom of my heart.... I thought you said I needed to give my life to my enemies, but I thought you said it was sour."
"Don't steam back.... Anyway, I was very uncomfortable thinking of Masala as my hometown. Who I call my compatriots and want to be raw in the future... I guess I'm only around these woods"
"So what about you?
By Michelle, a spear is pointed at the mime.
"That's what my father thinks. I wonder how happy I would be if I could spend the rest of my life around this forest.... but that's only because of my father, Barsha and Zida. For me, spending my days with everyone in the woods and my dads was more than anything else."
"So if me and Zida go back to Masala, is it not worth it to be a family by the woods?
When Barsha questioned him that way, the story was that Mim happened to spill a large amount of tears.
"I can't think about that...... I don't want to leave with everyone by the woods or with the Balshas either!
"Hey, Mim is only eleven years old. Don't hunt him down like that."
"What is it? I haven't even given you a wedding yet, and you don't even have to face the pawn owner like that."
"So, who's on the pavilion master side! Oh, don't get too crazy out of it!
And the family meeting of the Fushi family joint said it was extremely controversial.
I am working through the details in this way because Barsha later became interesting and revealed all the interactions.
So - the conclusion that was drawn at the end was that all four wanted to be family members by the woods.
Then it is the turn of Luu's blood council, and the council of chiefs.
Firstly, at the blood council in Luu, seven parents were to decide the way.
Different words would have been exchanged there as well, but all I heard was conclusions.
The conclusion was to "accept".
However, a two-point clause was added.
The first point concerns "Mr.".
This led to the conclusion that we would hold off until the actual edge of blood was tied.
Either one of the four will give a wedding to the people by the woods - or, if Mime and Zida will give a wedding, we will withhold giving Mr. until the child slowly gives a wedding to the people by the woods.
In short, if the child born between Mime and Zida were to give a wedding to someone by the woods, at that moment the same Mr. would be given to Michelle and Barsha, the blood clan.
Until then, he will live as a family without a Mr. in the Lew family.
And the second point.
It was to strip the four of their positions as family members and expel them from the woods, if they had reached an unacceptable act as a forest people before they were given Mr.
Apparently, that was a clause that also applied to Schmiral-Lilyn. Originally, no matter what the sins, they would only be cut according to the woodland code, but the story seemed to have been raised as to whether deportation would be more deserving if at the stage prior to the award of Mr.
However, if you say anything about the Michelles, if you have a wedding tomorrow with someone else, you will be awarded Mr. at that point. With the exception of the young mime, everyone can have a wedding, so the rest is up to them.
But if you're not willing to tie the edge of blood immediately, you won't be able to give Mr. much until then. He will always remain in fear of deportation and spend time as a family by the woods.
Those clauses were laid down at the council of the blood of Lou and were also passed at later councils of chiefs.
And this time, it was decided to come to the meeting of the castle township to see if it would also be recognized by the lord Marstein of Genos.
(For me, too, the way the mimes lived in Lou's settlement was a natural sight. If we want it, we just want it to work out...)
As far as I'm concerned, I was wondering if Barsha and Zida would be forgiven quickly. Originally Zida had the power that the hunters by the woods deserved, and comes from Masala, who has no ties to Genos. Barsha's background on the Red Beard Party will be quite complicated, but because they are such people, there will be aspects of peace of mind that it is better to accept them as residents than to release them into the field. Sanjula and I were allowed to stay under Refraia in that sense.
After all, Michelle and Mime were - originally unrelated to the people by the woods, cooks and their daughters. Of course, by the deeds of the people, starting with me, it still seems that there is no positive reason to recognize both names as the people of the woods, although the thankful diagram of the people of the woods, equals delicious food, is being constructed.
(If it was a premise story, like Schmiral-Lilyn or Yumi, it would have been easy to think about. Something about an aug sounds like a stance that you shouldn't be accepting the inhabitants in the mumbles... can you really admit that migration from Turan)
Dear Sir, I was also stuffy enough to do my stall job.
The other Ray-Matua etc. rather worry about me like that and I feel like I'm anxious for my complexion frequently. How about when I tried to concentrate on my work - a small figure stood in front of the stall fluttering.
"Oh well, this guy smells amazing. Is it Sim's vanilla dish?
It was an unrecognizable, magnificent woman of the people of the west.
There was a lot of white stuff in my hair and it was a very relaxed way of speaking, so at first I thought you were an old man, but its yellowbrown face was very lustrous and not so wrinkled. It must have been a little over forty at best.
It is the middle back of the middle meat and rarely wraps around a leather coat for a woman. If you're a visitor from outside Genos, like Deal or Alishna, there's nothing strange about it, but a coat is usually a traveler's thing. Therefore, it was felt a lot rarer because women travelers are rare.
"Yes, the aroma is intense and the spiciness works quite well, but it is a dish that is well received by those in the west and south. If you don't mind, how about one?
"Well, shall I have it? How much do you want?
"Half way in this vessel, it will be one red copper coin and half coin, plenty in the vessel and three red copper coins. So, depending on the amount, I'm going to put one or two of these baked potatoes on you."
"I'd like to try some of the other dishes, so let's just have half of them"
The woman smiled very softly.
I'm kind of just looking at it, and it's a soothing smile in my heart. Atmospherically, I was remembering my Lady Mistress, Giese, from the Rumlia's Tortilla.
The woman, who received the dish, did not attempt to head to the Blue Sky Dining Room, but retreated a little sideways, hitting the baked poitan on a wood plate while standing.
When I speak of it, "Oh," he exclaims again.
"What a delicious thing... this looks amazingly like a lot of different kinds of vanilla"
"Yes. Did you like it?
"Yes, I am heartily satisfied. I look forward to other dishes."
That's how the woman loosened up and proceeded to inspect the other stalls. Walking and eating is supposed to be a bad behavior, but that doesn't bother me either. Somehow, like a warm breeze that blows too far ahead in the spring, it's relaxing and natural.
"... you were kind of an amazing, pleasant customer"
Ray-Matua also smiles and laughs, calling me that way. When I smiled back, "You're right," Ray-Matua narrowed her eyes so happily.
"You finally laughed, Asta. I was just a little worried about you this morning because you looked so serious."
"Yeah, I'm sorry. I knew I was worried about the Castle Town meeting."
When I answered that way, they pulled the T-shirt sleeves from across.
Looking back, Yamil-Ray, who was in charge of 'Giba-Man', is pointing sideways with his gaze. That was the northern direction, where a familiar group approached from the other side of the street.
It is Gazran-Rutim who holds the reins of Totos who is leading the way.
After the meeting, the people returned from Castle Town.
"Good day, Asta. Often over there, can I talk to you?
"Yes, of course!
In the meantime, Sautti and Fow's luggage van goes too far as they salute us. Zaza's luggage truck was as usual, and I guess he went back to the woodside from a road on the north side more than the boarding town.
Leaving the stall were me, Mim and Tour-Din, plus five Rayna-Luu and Zwei-Rutim. Since a decision should have been taken today regarding the taxation of stalls and raw meat, each of the heads of stalls was in the process of listening.
The space across the street was empty, so Gazran-Rutim can wait there. Turning my foot over there, I said, "That?" and looked around.
"Earlier customers, I wonder if they're gone.... Hey Tool-din, didn't you see the older lady in the leather coat?
"Ah, if you're that customer, I bought this sweet and mime dish and they headed over to the dining room"
He was running errands while I was distracted by what the Gazran-Rutims looked like. Tour-Din was strangely inclined to his little neck as he walked a little further.
"What happened to that customer?
"No, because he was a little impressive. It's unusual for a woman to wear a coat around her."
Whatever it is, it's up to you to hear the outcome of the meeting.
As we approached the luggage, Rudd-Lou snuck his face off the carrier. He accompanied us today at the behest of the chief.
"Yo, tired. The mimes, they fit in a circle, huh?
Said so without any foreboding, Mim stood up flashly.
"Oh, you know, it fits round, that's..."
"Yes. Allowing four people - Mime, Michele, Zida and Barsha - to be welcomed as a family by the woods, Marquis Marquis Marquis Marstein never gave me a word. Today, Malstein himself was there."
To Gazran-Rutim's words, Mim nearly fell.
As Tour-Din rushed to reach out, Mim clung to its body, raising her voice and crying.
"What is it? I'm sure he'll be fine. I don't think I'm gonna cry."
Rudd-Lou, who has not much to do with the concept of delicacy, raises his voice to chill. But in those pale eyes of color, I felt like there was a much gentler light.
"Now you're all four, because you mean Lew's family? Do it right so you don't tarnish the names of the chieftaincy muscles, okay?
"If it's the mimes, you won't have to worry. I guess that's why Donda-Lou allowed her to be a family, too."
That Donda-Lou kept pulling into the carrier and didn't try to look like him.
Tool-din, who held both shoulders of a crying mime, is also weeping in his easily felt eyes.
"Mim, you're going to be a compatriot by the woods, too. Sincerely, I am delighted. … and thank you for your continued support"
Still, Mim couldn't answer for a while.
Either way - the people by the woods were to welcome four new compatriots here.
In addition to Asta and Schmiral-Lilyn of Fa's house, six people from the outside world were now allowed to become forestside people. With the advent of a new year at present, the people of the woods had undergone another great transformation.
