The thirteenth day of the purple moon, which currently withheld the Easter of the Sun God.
That day was the joint harvest festival by the six nearest families of the house of Fa.
Attending this harvest festival will be Fa, Fou, Run, Sudra, Din and Lid. This was also the third time that a harvest festival was held with this facial rash.
It was an unusual joint harvest festival by the woods, but if you multiply it three times, it will be something you will get used to a lot.
But this time, it was different without saying goodbye. Different circumstances were overlapping, and they were supposed to invite a large number of guests.
First of all, they are people of other clans by the woods.
At the last Conference of Parents, the Joint Harvest Festival was to be eliminated. At the end of the day, I settled in to talk about whether other families would like to hold a joint harvest festival.
Then the story first came that the facts of the Joint Harvest Festival should be reconfirmed, and it was decided by almost all the families that the spectators would come.
Almost everything is because a number of families have been chosen.
It was the families of the chieftaincy who were chosen. So far, those people didn't even have to hold a joint harvest festival, so this time they didn't want to.
From what I hear, the people of those families seemed sincerely sorry.
Or I was actually hearing those voices myself. People like Lau Ray, Dan Rutim, and Schmiral Lilyn brought me a mourning voice that matched their temperament.
Even for me, I was sincerely sorry that I couldn't invite those people who were being cordial.
But in practice, it was impossible in terms of numbers.
Thirty-seven families exist along these woodlands. From there, even if we deduct the six families that come to the harvest festival, and the families of the chieftaincy, eleven families remain.
And yet, as far as the paternal muscles of the chieftaincy muscle are concerned, this is the only major event, so you can't not not invite them. And since it was stipulated that one parent and one man and one woman were to be invited, the calculation would be (11 +3) x 3, which at this point would be as many as 42 people.
The family members to be invited are fourteen. Lew, Zaza, and Sutty. Gaz, Matua. Rats, memes, auro. Ravitz, Naham, Vin. Die, Len. And it was a facial rash called Sung.
"If Die or Lehn were to hold something called the Joint Harvest Festival, would they only have a Luu or Sauti bloodline? If so, shouldn't we see what we've done this time?
Rau-Ray and others had just mentioned it that way in a truly outrageous way.
Die and Lehn had settled in a place that was trapped by the families of Lou and Sauti, so if we were indeed to hold a joint harvest festival, it would only be possible to do so.
However, it was also considered extremely unlikely that Die or Lehn would hold a joint harvest festival with the chieftaincy Luu or Sauti. Since Luu and Sauti had a large number of families and settlements dotted across a wide area, it was too unrealistic to overlap periods of rest with the families farther away from home than this.
Therefore, Die and Lehn were invited this time for a different reason.
It was the story that they, who tend to be isolated in the location of the settlements, should be given the opportunity to interact with other clans that was raised.
At this joint harvest festival, the families of the chieftaincy muscle will meet together. In it, I wondered if it was too pitiful not to invite only Die and Lehn - first they were so shaken up in a meeting by the heads of the six families, then they were also passed by the three chiefs.
This means that the guests inside the woodland are above.
Next was a guest from Castle Town.
There is actually no such inevitable reason to invite guests to the castle town.
In the first place, it was because Odifia envied that her father, Melfried, was being invited to the woodside every now and then.
Then, apart from the harvest festival, there was also the option of having a feast of rapprochement.
but just this time it had been decided to invite a large number of guests from the family of the extra room, so the opinion that this might also be a good opportunity occupied a large number of people.
It was concluded as such that not only would we be able to celebrate the feast together, but we would be able to deepen our understanding of the people by the woods by comparing the power of the hunters and by seeing such things as the support of the feast dishes.
That's why we decided to invite guests from Castle Town as well.
From the nobility of Genos, there are five: Melfried, Eurifia, Odifia, Polearths and Refraia. And Sanjula and Musul are also accompanied when it is determined that it is necessary to re-establish bonds with the people by the woods.
And then there are three, Roy, Bozzle and Siri-Low, from the people of a town that is not aristocratic. Besides, Fermes, a diplomat in the king's capital, and Gemd, his squire, made up a total of twelve.
At the end of the day, he is a people of the city of lodging.
This one was only for two people, Yumi and Terrier-Mass.
Needless to say, this was an invitation in view of the delicate relationship between Yumi and Jou-Run. Terrier-Mass was only an escort, and both of these names had previously been invited to a wedding feast in Fou's settlement for the same reason.
So - 42 from Moribe, 12 from Castle Town and 2 from Accommodation Town, bringing the total number of guests to 56.
Since the original family of six is numbered more than eighty, this is a rather substandard situation.
"I guess it's normal for the Lew family and others to have a feast for more than a hundred people... can I and others safely arrange a big feast like this?
Freshly stated that way was the head of the run, who was to assume this partitioner on duty around. Its accompanying ladies also had to act as a partitioner for the preparation of the feast dishes, so it already had an uneasy look on its face.
But also, not all responsibility rests with the Lan family. This is only a joint harvest festival in which the six clans hold each other on equal footing.
Participants will have to come together to embody how meaningful and joyful a joint harvest festival is. As one of Kamadoku's numbers, I was left to do my best.
◇
So it is the day of the harvest festival.
At Kamadu cabin in Fou's main house, as I encouraged you to do your work, I - Fa called from across the entrance.
"Well, then, it's Asta. It's time for me to head to Inn Town."
"Yeah, roger.... Oh, on that road, are you sending Tia?
It was just a cut of work, so I decided to head over to I-Fa while I wiped my hands.
When I leave Kamadu cabin, Tia is a little discouraged at the foot of Ai-Fa. Towards you, I laughed.
"Then take care of Tia. But you're not going to be unscrupulous, are you?
"Um, it's awkward. If you hurt yourself with impossible training, you'll be wasted on what you've done."
Tia was set to be deposited in the settlement of Lou today.
The reason is that Tia wanted it.
"On the day of the festival, will the people of the town come from the bright? Tia wants to work on her training, so she wants me to spend it somewhere else."
That was Tia's point.
When a large number of people from the town arrive, Tia has to be pulled inside the house. Then he wanted to spend time elsewhere because he could not work on training to regain his strength.
"Tia's body was also able to regain approximately strength except for her right shoulder. Until the end, I want to work on my training without distraction."
Tia said that as she looked up at my face.
Nothing has changed since we met, an innocent and innocent eye and an innocent and loving face. It was around the end of the green moon that I met Tia, so it should have been about six months soon.
"I pray in the settlement of Luu that it will be a pleasant festival. Both Asta and Ai-Fa want you to enjoy the festival until you feel comfortable"
"Yeah, thanks. I'm sorry I can't be with Tia."
"Tia is nothing but a compatriot. You don't have to worry about anything because you're making a big deal out of it at Lew's house"
So I was supposed to feel sober.
"Tia, can I say something I can't say or do?
"Hmm? I don't hesitate to ask you to say anything"
"Well, let me tell you... Tia's totally better at listening, and on the other hand, I'm just feeling a little lonely."
"Lonely? Why?
"No, Tia would have been so reluctant to leave me before, wouldn't she? Now I'm starting to say that I want to go somewhere else... and I feel like I'm watching a child who's separated from his parents, even though it may not be very appropriate."
Tia rounded her eyes properly and then eventually smiled with a big mouth.
"Asta is the parent, Tia is the child. Asta says something delightful."
"Yeah. It wouldn't have been the right even. I can't think of any other good words."
"Mm-hmm. Tia was in a position to wish she didn't want to leave her side to redeem the sin that hurt Asta, so I guess it's a completely different story from the parent-child bond"
After stating it that way, Tia twinkled her garnet-like eyes so brightly.
"But the truth is, Tia, even though I still want to be by Asta's side. It's such a shame we have to spend until tomorrow morning in a separate place."
"Yeah, well. That's what Tia thought."
"Naturally. But Tia was allowed to spend time at Fa's house until the wounds healed. Only then will Tia be happy enough."
When Ai-Fa asked me which wounds healed and I moved to Fou's house, Tia said she wanted to be with us in tears.
Tia smiled happily as she stared straight into my face.
"And now Tia is very happy to hear that Asta feels lonely. If Ai-Fa isn't angry, he wants to pull Asta's head off and cheek her off."
…………
"After all, would I-Fa be angry?
"… it is a foolhardy act to learn by the woods that men and women over the age of ten touch each other"
"Uhm. Then I figured, let's not"
Tia remained on the same look, lagging behind.
"See you tomorrow morning. Looking forward to seeing Asta again."
"Yeah, be careful. Say hello to everyone, too, Ai-Fa."
When Ai-Fa turned that way with "Hum," he headed straight for Gilr and the luggage truck.
After I see the two of you get in the van, I turn back to the cabin. There were a lot of Kamadoku people working on their jobs.
"Ah, Asta. Is Ai-Fa headed to Accommodation Town?
"Yeah. It's time to meet up."
"That means it's going to be Jomtien soon. Will this one come in time?
It was the young ladies of the run who were stating it that way. Like parents and their partners, I guess they feel the pressure to be a partitioner. I made him laugh, "It's okay."
"As far as I can tell, the work is going well. By the moment the power comparison begins, you'll have completed it."
"Really? Don't worry if you tell Asta that."
The women of the run were breathing as relieved.
Each of the hand-worked Kamadu numbers is in charge of the squad leader's seat, so there are no Tour-din or Yun-Sudra on this occasion. The only people I know well are Ai-Fa's best friend, Saris Lang-Fou, and his companion, Ia Fou-Sudra.
However, the women of the nearby clan had nothing to be anxious about, as they had always helped Fa with her work at the house, and had spent the last few days training in banquet cooking.
"Today's feast dishes are spoken of by the chiefs and nobles alike. If you think about it like that, you're going to be frightened."
and now EA FOU-SDRA has stated so.
but the content of the word is backwards, a quiet, soft smile. He's younger than me, he has a sweeter look, but he's a much more solid daughter inside.
"But can the three chiefs face each other? At times like this, Lew, Zaza, etc. always give out the eldest brother in the main house, right?"
To Sarris Lang-Fou's words, I said, "Right."
"Even today, perhaps, Luu and Zaza will give me their eldest brother. Both Giza-Lou and Georg Zaza are fine hunters who deserve to represent the chief."
"Again, is that right? I guess it's the idea that young people should expand their visibility, even in Lou and Zaza."
The idea also permeates a clan without a chieftaincy muscle. In Fou's blood, the young people had taken the initiative to go down to the boarding town, and the young hunters had been chosen as much as possible, for example, in the work of escorts.
"But in the rest period starting tomorrow, we should go down to Inn Town for all ages."
I was supposed to be impressed with Sarris Lang-Fou's words.
"That's great, isn't it? Again, is it one effect of Yumi?
"Yes, I still don't know if Yumi will be dowry at Lan's house, but still, I guess Fou's blood should know more about the Inn Town than anyone else"
Then the young ladies of Lid, who worked across from the workbench, looked up.
"But my parents seem to be nagging because they want to go down to Inn Town. Even if you don't have one of your daughters named Yumi, aren't there a lot of people interested in Inn Town?
"Oh, I guess that is. Even the men who were learning things like grass whistles and board games in Inn Town seemed to enjoy it."
"Right! I, myself, am very excited!
After today's harvest festival, we can't wait for those fun days. Originally, it was like the swirling heat filled the cabin with so much enthusiasm.
That's how after only half an hour, the table became noisier. Any of the guests must have arrived.
After a long time lag, a figure stands at the entrance to the opening. As expected, that was my beloved parent.
"We're back. Guests are asking for a look at Kamado's work, but could Fowe's people forgive me?
"Yeah, of course," replied Sarris Lang-Fou, who also smiled back in front of her eyes alone. Excluding the people of the Lou family, this Sarris Lang-Fou is one of a kind friend to Ai-Fa.
"Forgiveness is out. Say hello to each of you."
"Sorry to bother you! Thank you so much for calling me to the feast today!
The first person to show up was Yumi. Terrier-Mass, who then entered the room, bows his head as a snack. It was not until night that the women of the woodland wrapped up their banquet costumes, so they were now both normal outfits.
"Yes, my name is Terrier-Mass, and I was invited to a wedding feast before. Best regards again today"
"Welcome to Fou's house, Yumi to Terrier-Mass. I am truly delighted to welcome you both today."
Sarris Run-Fou greets the two with a relaxed smile. The partitioner of the day is the Lan family, but this is the Kamadu cabin of the Fou family, and Saris Lang-Fou was a Fou main family person, so it was a woodland lesson for her to say hello here.
"You were, uh, Sarris Lang-Fou, weren't you? I won't stand in everyone's way, thank you!
Tobi smiled and then Yumi turned her gaze outside the entrance.
"Look, you guys say hello, too, right? You're not getting any smaller in there. Come on in."
"Wow, I know. There is no sardine that commands you."
A new figure steps into Kamado's cabin. He is a Castle Town cook, Siri-Low, Roy and Bozzle. They also met in Inn Town and were brought along with Yumi and the others.
"Wow, I am a disciple of Varcus, the Castle Town cook, and my name is Siri-Low. Asta invited me to join her today."
"Likewise, my name is Bozzle. Best regards,"
"Uh, I'm Roy as well. Nice to meet you today."
Unlike the Yumi, who were once invited to the wedding feast of Fou and Sudra, this is the first time they have visited the settlement of Fou. People were eager to see the new guests with a twinkling look at each emotion.
"Welcome to Fow's house. Your story comes from the Astas. You're talking about a guy named Varcus who often makes strange, delicious dishes."
Sallis Run-Fou greeted her in an unscrupulous, even graceful manner.
"There are some parts of you that are still uncomfortable as to whether you will be satisfied with your position as disciples… I would be honored if you enjoyed it with all our heart"
"No, no, I've been reminded many more times of the arms of the people by the woods. We look forward to seeing what Giva dishes you can eat."
The cook's side depends on whether the bozzle is large or not. It's a bozzle with a stature that can be called a giant, but I guess it can be seen in the atmosphere that he is someone unbridled by a rough affair. These Kamadoku people were smiling back without being alert to anything.
"Well! Then I guess I'll say hello to the others. What are you guys gonna do?
In Yumi's words, Bozzle said, "Hmm?" I looked back.
"If other people need to say hello, shouldn't we be with you?
"Uh, no, no. I was just able to say hello to Fow's parents, so why don't you guys just stop? We have so many other people to say hello to."
Yumi mentioned it that way, reddening her cheeks a lot.
And then, for some reason, he starts flirting with me.
"Oh, I just thought I'd have to say hello to the parents of Run and Sudra too! Thank you so much for your help, too!
"Oh, I see. But I didn't say anything, did I?
"Ugh!" Then Yumi left the room with Terrier-Mass. "Hmm," the bozzle tilts his thick neck as he clutches the shaver's beard.
"So may we watch your work here?
"Ah, yes. I think the power comparison will begin in less than a moment, if you don't mind."
"Now let me sweeten your words"
That's how we got back to work while the three cooks watched us.
Or even while they were greeting each other, most of Kamado's turns were moving their hands. Roy and Siri-Low had a serious look and glanced at Kamadu's cabin.
"This pot smells amazing. Are you taking stock with Gibba's bones again?"
"Yes, because this is an essential contribution to a feast dish."
"This is, uh, a dish called pasta, isn't it? Is it loose even in some new finishing touches that the shades look different?
"Yep. That's adding a Kimmus egg shell to the dough. In my hometown, you'll be an ingredient called Chinese noodles. It's called ramen or baked noodles."
"Ramen? Yakisoba? Isn't that right?
"It's a little hard to explain, but those are dishes that were born in different countries."
For Roy and Siri-Low, I guess this cooking sight is the main event. It is their true desire to see what kind of dishes Kamadoku from Moribe is doing and what kind of dishes they are doing.
But as for this one, I really miss spinning bonds with the people of Castle Town. Even on these occasions, I would like you to exchange your thoughts.
"Ooh, this giva meat smells so fragrant. Tau Oil, Myrmu, Kerr Root and… it seems that a variety of other ingredients are used."
A bozzle peeking into another iron pan raises a cheerful voice.
There was Ea Fou-Sudra right next to it, so I gave him a look over there.
EA FOW-SDRA looked back at me strangely for a while, but eventually smiled, turning back towards the bozzle.
"There, we make a dish called cha-chu. In addition to Myrmu and Kerr's roots, you add Panem honey, red Mammalian vinegar, and Nyatta distilled liquor."
"Hmm, Nyatta's distilled liquor! Some deep aroma was tickling my nose, but maybe that's what Nyatta's distilled liquor does."
"Right. We also used more of Nyatta's distilled liquor in our stewed dishes. I can't explain it well, but with or without it, the finish feels a lot different."
"That's the kind of ingenuity that divides the flavors of the dishes. The people by the woods will have definite tongues to feel that difference."
The bulge of the bozzle and the softness of the ea fou-sudra seemed to mesh in a good way.
In the meantime, Roy is talking to Sarris Lang-Fou in some way. Since Saris Lang-Fou was in charge of Giva bone stock, are you asking for details of it?
(Yeah, well, here's how it's got to go)
I took a meat cutter with great satisfaction in my chest.
That's how I started working on a mince of giva meat, and Siri-Low sneaks up on me.
"You're chopping giva meat. Which part is it?
"This is Momo meat, isn't it? But in the end, you're going to mix all sorts of different parts."
"Why? Giva, just like Caron, should have a big feature for each area"
"If you carve it in detail like this, you lose that trait too, don't you? So when you take each part off the bone, all the pieces you can take together."
"I see...... but after all, doesn't that change the taste every time you make it?
"As long as you adjust the amount of fat, it doesn't seem to make a big difference. If you mix it together and the redness appears to be strong, you may add fat later."
"I see," Siri-Low repeated in a convincing manner.
but I'm not trying to get away from me.
"... today, don't you make that dish called Him? It doesn't seem to smell at all."
"Oh, Curry's in charge is another squad. It's a little far away from here, so depending on the direction of the wind, you won't even get the scent."
Siri-Low mouthed his third "I see".
But I knew you wouldn't try to get away from me.
Meanwhile, Roy and Bozzle were looking blossoming into culinary rigging with another lady.
"Um... there may not be anybody else on this scene I know, but we're all very happy to welcome the Siri-Laws."
"Yes. Is that what you did?
"No, I wish I could have grown ties with different people if you like... Of course, it's awkward that Siri-Low has a nasty personality"
"Well, then, isn't it as if I were a cautious man who only exchanges words with the one whom I have seen!
Surprisingly, Roy looked back at this one.
"What are you shouting at? You think the people outside are something, don't you?
"But Asta said something too rude..."
"Don't worry, keep it grown up. Why don't you come over here, too? It's hard to see Giva's tongue before you cut it off."
Siri-Low scowled at me with a red face before approaching Roy early. Somehow, she is a frightful little daughter, so it's like a kitten who found a parent cat.
(Looks like Siri-Low needs someone's escort to expand his interaction after all)
Of course, when Roy or Yumi's hands are good, it's not a rash for me to take on that role. However, there are a lot of people from the woods on this occasion, so I would like you to talk to someone other than me.
In such a way, we were to have a moment of utmost peace until a moment in the descent, when the power comparison of the hunters began.
