756 Explore Castle Town (9) - Until Another Day

"Nevertheless, when it's still this busy, it looks like we should split up and move"

After purchasing a large plate of wood carvings, Giza-Lou made that statement when Raina-Lou finished eating wild bird skewers.

"Let's say we split up in the same combination as just now.... Where did Rudd go?

"Is that it? I should have been there earlier... but you don't even have the Gazran-Rutims"

Or there were such a number of people out of sight. I don't even see Mime, Tour-Din, Ray-Matua, Malfira-Naham, and Raylis.

As Giza-Lou was making use of his lengths to patronize his gaze, a rare gemd of presence raised his hand to ask him to speak.

"Lord Railis and the others, they headed that way. Somehow an acquaintance summoned you."

"An acquaintance? No wonder Raylis runs into an acquaintance, but are Gazran-Rutim and the others taking him too?

"Yes. I suppose it's a common acquaintance"

When Gemd responded with a deep aesthetic, Giza-Lou frowned at the cover-up.

"Whatever it is, we have to rendezvous. We're headed that way, aren't we?

"Yes."

"Thank you for your advice. I want you to be careful not to let Schmiral-Lilyn, I-Fa, everyone else get away with it."

We walked through the square in a huddle.

There are especially large numbers of people around here, and their vision is quite blocked. So as it turns out, breaking through the thick wave of people - the Gazran-Rutims, indeed, were there.

"Oh, Ziza-Lou, I'm sorry. I was so loud."

Gazran-Rutim, who noticed this approach as soon as possible, smiles with regret. There was a line of culinary stalls there, and yet several seats were set up. There's a leather roof over his head, just like the blue sky dining room we run.

In the seats, a large number of men are cheerful. Apparently, it also contains alcohol, which was a rough atmosphere in this castle town with a finger fold. Seeing it, Giza-Lou glanced sharply at it.

"Stick around, I don't apologize... but for what purpose did you put your foot here?

"Yes. Actually -" Gazran-Rutim was about to say, "Oh!" He shouted out loud.

"To Lord Ai-Fa, Lord Asta, you've finally met me. I'm so tired of waiting."

As the person approached us slightly, Ai-Fa was also supposed to glow her eyes with caution.

"Know the name of me and Asta, who are you? There must be no acquaintances in Castle Town."

"Isn't that too much of a conniving word? You mean you forgot to look at me?

The man stood in front of me and Ai-Fa with his brow butt down a lot.

He is quite long and has such a fine physique that he does not take hiccups on Ziza-Lou or Gazran-Rutim. Wrapped around it was a simple outfit with an emphasis on functionality, and a long sword was lowered at the waist.

The brown hair is shorter and the brown eyes are filled with strong light. The color of the skin is yellowbrown, and although it is a very common western folk's style, the eyes, nose and mouth are heavily constructed, and the mandible is tense with disappointment. Somehow, he was a very dark-eyed face, and with facial knowledge, he was hard to forget.

"Oh, I'm sorry. I said I should give my voice to the partitioner, Lord Giza-Lou, but he was so forceful..."

And Raylis rushed over here, too.

but whatever the man is, he even compares me to Ai-Fa.

"Lord Ai-Fa, have you really forgotten what I look like?

"No, I don't think I've ever looked at you..."

"What do you mean? I said I was looking forward to reunion day, but not really."

Then Raylis waved the man's giant with a bitter smile on his face.

"Then shouldn't we give you a name first? That would seem to solve everything."

"Is that right? I'm Devious."

I'm supposed to circle my eyes with Ai-Fa.

"When it comes to Devious, is that Devious in the role of captain of the militia? Speaking of which... I don't even feel that voice sounds familiar"

"What, I knew I'd forgotten to look at it. What a sad story."

"... Forget to look or nothing, didn't you hide your face in a strange outfit"

Yes, he was wearing a silver lion dress at the masquerade the day he left, that Devious.

Devious pounded a big fist on his big palm.

"Oh well. If you ask me, you're right. My eyes were burned with the beauty of Lord Ai-Fa, but I seem to have completely lost track of myself."

"Lord Devious, praising the appearance of a woman in vain is an act that does nothing to the woodland mastery"

When Raylis whispered, Devious said, "Hmm?" and tilted his thick neck.

"I wonder what kind of line it is to murmur? I really think so."

"I think you should stick with me, regardless of Lord Devious's mood."

"Really? Whatever it is, we are delighted to see you again, Lord Ai-Fa. And Lord Asta."

That being said, Devious showed his sturdy looking white teeth.

Gazran-Rutim releases his explanation to Ziza-Lou, who has not yet figured out the circumstances.

"... so you all decided to spin the edge at the masquerade. Don't worry, you're in the position of captain of the militia."

"I see... so are those over there?

Following Ziza-Lou's gaze, the Tour-dins were tough men's opponents in the seats. Gazran-Rutim smiles "Yes".

"These are Devious's men, who were at the same spot. Tour-Din was also at the masquerade, so you were supposed to be called in. Mime and the others followed me worried about Tour-Din."

"Right. I guess attending the masquerade meant they were in quite a position."

But from the seats, cheerful and despicable laughter is echoing. Our Blue Sky Cafeteria is unbeatable. It was a castle town with an elegant atmosphere, no matter where it was, and that was the only place it looked like when it was a lodging town.

but it doesn't look like they're getting their white eyes turned on the people who are going to and from the square. The elderly daughters and others who happened to be on the street were laughing and pulling their eye-catching sleeves, but there was rather so much fondness and longing for them.

"... As I said earlier, chivalrous human beings are not that formal."

Take a look at my expression, or Raylis said so.

Then there comes the energetic voice of Rudd-Lou's "Yo". Seeing, Rudd-Lou had tightly tucked into one of his seats and grabbed some kind of boned meat.

"The Giza brothers are finally here. There's an interesting one over here.

In the meantime, we decided to get closer to our seats, too. Tour-Din looks relieved and smiles weakly at me.

"Oh, yeah. I tried to introduce him to Moribe's history, so I called him.... Hey, Gardell, come out here and say hello"

Someone in the corner of the dining room stood up. He seemed big enough to beat Devious, but he looked a lot younger, and he hung his left arm with a triangular scarf.

"This guy is one of the soldiers in my unit when it comes to Gardell. As you can see, I am currently resting."

The person, who was introduced to Gardel, was greeted with an ambiguous expression. He has such a splendid physique, but somehow he wraps up an unconfidential air. The pale colored eyes were coming and going around the chest, not our faces.

"The wound could be..."

And when Ai-Fa spoke sharply, Devious nodded, "Uhm."

"That's right, Lord Ai-Fa, you're quick to guess. It's a big deal to have insight into a rare beauty like this."

"Then again, does that person take Silhouel?

When he silenced Devious's light mouth and Ai-Fa uttered his name, Giza-Lou also tightened his expression.

Devious nods with a serious face, while placing his hand on Gardell's thick right shoulder.

"Yes, it was this gardel who set up the great sinner Silhouel. This one was also deeply overwhelmed by Silhouel, but he finally recovered enough to walk outside"

I was supposed to see the young man with all my heart.

He is a very good-looking young man who has no other distinctive character than brown curly hair wrapped around a swirl and a large, forged flesh. It's such an unheeded look that it doesn't look like a soldier or anything else, but maybe that was because my hand wounds hadn't healed yet.

"Right. If we had missed Silhouel on that occasion, we wouldn't still be at peace. On behalf of Donda-Lou, chief of the Moribe, let me say a word of gratitude"

"Yes, no, I, etc., just happened to run into the great sinner Cir 'el..."

Gardell still didn't try to keep an eye on Giza-Lou.

Devious lightly pokes such a subordinate in the head.

"You've done a great deed, so be more magnificent. You'll always be an impenetrable one."

"Yes... sorry..."

"Fair enough. Now one of the aims has been achieved. And then let me tell you a lot about my history by the woods."

"Purpose?", Giza-Lou frowns at Urunou.

Then Raylis raised his voice around the bitter smile.

"Apparently, Lord Devious was waiting for everyone by the woods on this occasion. You've been eavesdropping somewhere that I'm going to show you this square."

"A wiretap is a bad listener, isn't it? We just wanted to deepen our ties to the history of the woods."

"That's why they bothered to apply for a holiday, right? If so, why don't you speak to me beforehand?"

"Well, that's not funny."

Apparently, taking off the silver lion's clothing did not change Devious's pungent impression.

Devious chuckles aloud, lifting the poured glass of fruit liquor.

"Until sundown, will we spend time in Castle Town? Then there's still plenty of time left. At the same time we would like to warm up our old relationship with Lord Ai-Fa and others, and deepen our ties with the history of our first face-to-face encounter."

"... um. I appreciate you saying that."

Apparently Ziza-Lou was also quite interested in this benevolent named Devious.

Devious nodded satisfactorily, twitching Gardell's back as he stood blurry.

"Sora, you have a little fun, too. Eat, drink, and feed your English."

"Or I still can't drink because my shoulder wound isn't blocked. And then when you get slapped in the back like that, it sounds like a wound."

"Don't get all too distracted. I don't care what kind of hand wound you get, you don't try to keep your liquor down, do you?

"I will not be with you, Captain."

Gardell smiled faintly.

Thank you. This seems to be a delicate temper from the beginning, regardless of the presence or absence of a hand wound. But of course, that never made a bad impression.

(Did Silhouel, who had so many woodland hunters in his hands, come to an end in the hands of someone who seemed so soft? I don't know... it's a strange tour)

Then a voice sounding like a sweet cello echoed from right next to my ear.

"For a while, will we be intimate with the knights and soldiers on this occasion?

"Ah, yes. Apparently, you do."

When I looked back, Fermes was looking fun and narrowed his eyes.

"That's a tricky thing. Even the inhabitants of the three county territories will have a hard time getting the chance to spin this far with the people of the castle town"

"... you think it doesn't fit the people by the woods?

"Not at all. Asta, the forest chiefs, etc. have been in and out of the castle town for over a year, so it's probably just about too late."

Hazel Eye of Fermes felt very different emotions were leaping.

"What position will the people of Moribe establish in Genos… I want to see it with my sincere joy"

"Thank you," responded Gazran-Rutim, not me. It wasn't long before Gazran-Rutim stood on the other side of Ai-Fa.

"And we hope to spin the right edge with you too, Fermes"

"Yeah, sure," Fermes smiled.

There, Devious comes out loud again.

"What are you doing, Lord Ai-Fa? Come on, I can calm my hips down here, but it's okay. I can carry alcohol and food right now."

"... hatred and refraining from mouthing liquor from noon"

"Really? Well, come here anyway."

Fermes cringed and laughed before pulling himself back.

"I guess today is the day to deepen my bond with the people of Castle Town, so let's just say I acquire myself. Please tell us the full story."

Ai-Fa looked out silently, followed me with her elbow, and then stepped out.

Gazran-Rutim crushes around smiling as he heads toward Devious together.

"Indeed, our purpose today is to see the castle town. I guess we should wait another time to spin the edge with Fermes."

"Hmm. If he could only observe Asta's trends, maybe that would satisfy him."

Neither did Ai-Fa try to decorate the words because their opponents were Gazran-Rutim. Gazran-Rutim smiles quietly as he sees such an eye-fa.

"You don't need to rush anything. Shouldn't I bite the joy in front of you now?"

"The joy in front of you, huh? That Devious also makes me feel like I'm not comfortable..."

After stating it that way, Ai-Fa softened her eyes a little.

"But it must be difficult to bond so much with the people of the castle."

"Yes, but you don't seem to have enough time in a day. If today is a safe day, you will be allowed to visit Castle Town again, won't you?

That was an inquiry directed at me, so I nodded yes.

"Polearth said he would issue us a pass at any time. Even Zaza and Sauthi and the rest of his family would like to see the castle."

"Yeah. If we deepen our bonds that way, wouldn't the idea that we are also children of Western God be engraved so strongly"

I could wholeheartedly endorse Gazran-Rutim's words.

This should still be a difficult thing to do for the people by the woods who have not tried to spin their fringe with the people of the town for eighty years.

And for me visiting from outside this continent, that should have been the same.

It was Ai-Fa who gave me my first place to lose everything.

I could really think of Ai-Fa as important. And I felt the same way about the people of the woods to which I belonged - the heart of belonging.

So now, to a place called Genos, to which the people of the woods belong - at the end of the day, we believe that we should also extend that thought to Selva, the kingdom to which Genos belongs, and we are now on this path. It was my greatest pleasure to be able to walk that path with everyone on the irreplaceable forest side.

(I'm sure I'm the one who's called "The People Without Stars" where astrologers say. But I want to be a part of this world. I just want to live in this world as one person, just like everyone else, not as something special)

Should this kind of truth be more openly revealed to Fermes?

I want to deepen my bond with Fermes as one person. Will that Fermez shake my hand back with such pleasure?

Thinking of it that way, Ai-Fa pulled my arm "Hey".

"We should now bite the joy in front of us, as Gazran-Rutim would have stated? Don't bother your head with unwanted thoughts."

"Oh, yeah. Ai-fa's a prospect for anything."

"That's because you're drooling your anxiety on the surface."

Eye-Fa's eyes, as serious as they are scared, peek into mine.

Behind those eyes was yet another shade of anxiety.

I made him say "I'm sorry" with all my heart.

"But I wasn't worried about anything. Anyway, I have an eye-fa."

When Ai-Fa blushed in an instant, he tried to put his mouth to my ear.

There, he said, "What's going on?" and Devious's voice echoes.

"Friendliness is a cool thing, but is it something you can talk to us about now, Lord Ai-Fa?

"Ya, it's weird. It was an important story right now."

"Hmm. With your cheeks blushing like that, it seems to make you more attractive. Not at all, Lord Asta is a fruit payer."

After saying it with a serious face, Devious lifted the glass.

"Once again, then, I want to congratulate you on a day called today. Hey, Gardell, take a toast."

"Duh, why me? It's time for you to let me rest in my quarters?

The soldiers gathered in the dining room were laughing delightfully.

If you notice, Rimi-Lou and Raina-Lou are also having fun talking to a group of soldiers. The people crossing the square were watching this one in such a curious way.

(Although Gazran-Rutim said in the morning that the people of Castle Town may be less interested in the people by the woods... I don't suppose there's anything else to worry about)

The people of Moribe are such a fascinating family and such an overwhelming presence. If you actually show your face like this, there's no way you're indifferent - I could have thought so.

(As the same people of Genos, thank you for your continued support.... that's about it)

Ai-Fa is starting to argue with Devious, somewhat frowning backwards. What's wrong with the creepy Gardel? He looks like he's grated.

I also decided to deepen my ties with those people.

Fermes, standing a little further away, kept a quiet eye on us like that all the time.
