831 Twenty-sixth Day of the Purple Moon ① - Jomtien Day

The day after dawn - it is the second holiday in the Easter of the Sun God, The Day of Jomtien.

I cleaned up my morning job and went back to the house after I had even gone to the river, where the women and the hunters of the escort who had already asked for help were gathered.

"Since this morning, thank you. So let's get going."

Usually, we're about to start cooking, but today we're headed straight to Inari Town for "Grilled Giva Round."

The luggage carriage is also boarded by Deal and Larvis, who stayed at Fa's house last night. I just didn't think they were going to take a water bath in the river, so I had them rest at home until just before I left, but Deal was still a lot of a sleepy face.

"Did you want to talk to Ey-Fa yesterday?

I snuck my ears off of Ai-Fa holding the reins at your table and asked.

Dial, who was rubbing his eyes like a child, "Yeah," he smiles defenselessly.

"It wasn't that long, but it was the first time I'd talked to Ai-Fa alone. It was so much fun."

"Oh well. If the interaction between the two has deepened, it's more important."

"Yeah. It used to be so annoying, but I love me, too, I-Fa."

I was very satisfied as far as I was concerned that they would just let me hear those words.

Dial peeks into my face as he strokes his pinky sleeping clothes with his fingertips.

"How was that Asta? I hope you and Larvis weren't upset..."

"There was absolutely nothing uncomfortable about it. There are many people by the woods who are too silent."

Whatever. I've been through all night with Darum-Lou and Dick Dom. Even an exotic people without compatriots did not think that Larvis was more difficult to deal with.

"I think I fell asleep after half an hour because I was tired too. I asked you about Deal's house."

"Eh! You didn't say anything funny about me, did you?

"Absolutely. But Dial's been a mess ever since he was a little girl."

Dial blushed his cheeks just a little bit, "Eh," but he still looked happy.

"Well, if Asta and Larvis get along, I'd love to. Can you invite me again sometime, when you have more time?

"Yeah. I'm looking forward to that."

That's how Dial arrived at the settlement of Luu when he grinned in full.

Rendezvous with the luggage truck waiting for you and take the immediate route to Accommodation Town.

Renting a stall at the Tail Pavilion of Kimus and the Great Tree Pavilion of the South and going for the outdoor area, seven stalls had already been prepared there with steps taken by the people of Castel Genos.

"I've been waiting for you. Thank you for your time today."

Greeting me that way was the messenger of Castel Genos, who ascended as a bearer on "Dawn Day". Even today, this Mitsujin will act as a bearer.

"Then we're going back to Castle Town! Good luck, Asta and the others!

Dial waved, probably, northwards down the street with Larvis.

We are preparing for the "Giva Round Roast".

"Well, thank you for your time. When you're done assembling your stand, speak up before you put a fire in the fire bowl."

On this day, it was three stalls for me to carry out my duties as the person in charge.

Of the fourteen stalls, Din and Lid were each to take charge of seven of Luu's blood, two of Fou's blood, and one of the rest.

If there are three stalls, Kamadoku will need six people.

What I elected was a combination of the Malfira-Naham and Ravitz ladies, the Ray-Matua and Gaz ladies, and the Fay-Baim and Ratz ladies. It means that besides Malfira-Naham and Ray-Matua, who already have experience, they have elected the pro-muscular women of each clan.

However, the women of Vin, Dagola, Meme, Auro, and Sung, their families, are also gathered one by one in the name of spectators, not helpers. No wages accrue to them, but they have been dispatched by their respective houses to learn how to cook 'Giva Round'.

Inspired by it, even in Lew's partitioning stalls, he had invited the folks of his clan, with Sauti and Die as their parent muscles, as spectators. The Sauti bloodline and others had been staying at the Luu bloodline house since the night before, as previously suggested by Giza-Lu, so most of them had been collectively going down to the lodging town in the morning.

"Good morning, Dari-Sutty. You seem to have quite a few people there."

"Mm-hmm. This is still the number of people who are separated from each other for coming to the Day of Doom."

Dari-Sauti said so, but it appears to be nearly thirty men and women combined. Now the family members such as Faye, Dada and Tamru, who could not enter the "Dawn Day", also joined for the first time in the sunshine.

As Dali-Souti and I were able to see each other, Ai-Fa was thankful for one of Totos' early runs.

Dari-Sautti smiles aloud, "I can't thank you enough".

"I thought I said this was a story that would involve not only Fa's house, but all the people by the woods. We should know a little more about that nobleman named Fermes."

"Mm-hmm. I'm extremely comfortable that you could say that to the chief, Dari-Sauti"

"Thoughts should be the same with Donda-Lou or Graf-Zaza. You just don't want to expose yourself to honest feelings."

After saying it that way, Dari-Sauti looked around at the stalls lining up sloppily.

"Still, the fact that as many as fourteen stalls will burn Giva's meat... you have something to keep an eye on"

"Yes, I find it very emotional"

When I answered that, Fay-Baim told me that the erection of the cradle was complete.

Looks like my three stalls are ready now. I gave instructions to everyone to put fire in the fire bowl.

Malfira-Naham and Ray-Matua are in it for the second time, so I decided to leave the stall in the middle to the Fay-Baim and Rats ladies to base there.

Only two Giva toddlers could prepare, so only Ray-Matua's squad has half a branch roasted. Of course all the stalls of Fou, Din and Lid, during the period of rest, were branched meat, and three of the seven were Giva's larvae in the blood of Leu.

Whatever the case, the weight of the meat is approximate to 30 kg each. Because that's for 14 stalls - the total weight is 420 kilos. Even if the moisture and fat loss occurs during the whole baking process and the way you look at it decreases by about 10%, it would still be quite a mass. The people of Castel Genos thought that sifting through all this giva meat would never spare them.

"That's right, looks like we're going to be cutting down on Kimmus' meat! I guess a lot of people are happy that they've lost their extra work."

The day before yesterday, it was Yumi who worked in the stalls on the other side of the Levi's.

"Either way, the inn cook is going to bake Kimmus. The Chairman of the Chamber of Commerce told me if anyone wanted to quit working at the stall, so I thought I'd get right to the point."

The innkeepers also received a fee from Castle Genos to make "Kimmus Round Roast", but it's not an exceptionally good job. Even if it was Fa's house, it would have been enough to stay on hand if I had paid six Kamadoku numbers out of the rent.

With that background, "Kimmus's Tail Pavilion" was to be dismissed from his job of sifting "Kimmus's Round Grill". Then it would be better to prepare more ramen for the night as a result of the decision that it would lead to money making and publicity. By now Levi and Lars would be noodling in the inn's cook.

In the fourteen stalls, "Giva's Round Grill" is steadily burned. This time has not yet come the people of the town, but only the people by the woods are so enthusiastic.

This time the people of the northern settlements have also been staying at Din and Lid's house since the day before, so those people are surrounding the stalls as well. The people of Havilla and Dhana also showed up there, so I'm sure they're all trying to learn how to make 'Giva Round Roast'. With that in mind, all the families of the forest side would be taught how to make "Gibba Round Roast".

"Oh, you're doing it, you guys!

And suddenly, from the streets, the energetic voice of a young man is thrown at me.

If you think of someone, you are the head of Rats. "You" were words spoken to the women of Rats, who were encouraging them to work in the stalls, and to the women of their families, who were looking out for them.

"You came early, parent. It should still take some time for the meat to cook."

When the Ladies of Rats, who are not afraid, say so, "I know!," the young parent laughed.

"But today, will the lord of Genos show himself? We talked about hiding faces and stuff, but we thought we'd see it through again!

Yes, today was parade day, when a Totos car carrying Marquis Marquis Marstein strolled through the Inn Town. One of these cases was also well known on the Forestside Liaison Network.

"Oh, I 'm-fa to Asta, you're late to say hello. To our ladies, we don't have a clue, do we?

With a peek inside the stall, Ratz's parents have asked as such.

I = fa just nodded "um," so let me add a few more words.

"So far, we haven't had any problems at all. Stay tuned for a splendid round grill in two minutes."

"Right. My blood's passion for delicious food should never be beaten by Gaz or Matua humans. Nice to meet you!

This young parent of Rats seemed to have a lot of counter-consciousness for my taking over Ray-Matua, Gaz's blood family. Rutz and Gaz's blood clan, who have long lived nearby, also looked like they were building something of a rivalry in a good way.

"The next harvest festival we also intend to have with the blood tribes of Gaz and Baim. On the spot, Ray-Matua was probably the only partitioner of" Gibba's Round Grill, "which he felt sorry for as a parent."

The other day, the women of Rats were sneaking up on me like that.

"So this time, if me and Fay-Baim are going to get laid too, we're going to have to work together with Ray-Matua, right? When Asta asked me to help, my parents were very happy."

The women of Rats were laughing and talking, so I guess it wasn't that serious, but as far as human resources were concerned, I was sure I would have to be more attentive. At the same time, it was to be heartily difficult to find the cleanliness of the people by the woods who did not convert what was called a sense of confrontation into negative emotions such as jealousy.

Then a while later, the streets started to keep busy.

And the men of other families, and the men of the city of lodging, began to come and go. That still seemed to be the aim of a parade of nobility, a buzz from earlier than 'Dawn Day'.

"Good day, Asta"

And it was Radajid, who led the Silver Pot, who spoke to me in that.

"Good morning. Are you all sights of the aristocratic queue?

"No. The people by the woods, they talked, they came"

Apparently the Radajids, with their passports to the castle town, are also less interested in the parade of nobility. Well, even when it comes to the parade, it's all about the soldiers being exposed, and Malstein at the heart is in armor, so there was something about it.

"How was dinner at the Lilyn's? Some of the other blood families came, didn't they?

"Yes. Very, enriched. It's still lingering."

Though faceless, Radajid's black eyes have a bright light leaping on them. It must have been a night of pleasure, no less than the house of Fa, which invited Balan's fathers.

"I hear the Schmiral-Lillins aren't going down to the Inn Town today either. I'm sorry to hear that, but if you talked about it at dinner, it's more than that."

"Yes. Schmiral-Lilyn, blood tribe, should speak. We, together, Genos, go out, spend a long time, so it should be weighed down."

Saying so, Radajid shook his mouth tingly. It is a trick when you are smiling.

"But we," Dawn Day, "we could do it, and dinner, we were invited. Gillan-Lillin, I appreciate your efforts."

"Yes, Gillan-Lillin will weigh equally both his bonds with the blood clan and with all the folks at Silver Pot. I really think you're a respectable person."

Today the people of Lilyn's main house are staying in the settlement to take care of their young children. From what I hear, family members, such as Mufa and Maam, also gather in one place to do the job together.

People down to the lodging town enjoy Easter and those who remain in the settlement spend their precious holidays with their blood clans. Either way, that was supposed to be a happy time.

"Still, the stalls, they're amazing numbers"

And, saying so, Radajid looked around the left and right stalls.

There was still a respite in the fifth hour, so the inn stalls have not been served. In all fourteen stalls, "Gibba's Round Grill" is burned. Even from the side of the table, it was supposed to be spectacular.

"I'm preparing twice as much today as I did last time. The folks by the woods will no longer have to be so reluctant. Please, share the joy."

"Yes, I enjoy it and I do"

So the Radajids walked away towards the Blue Sky Dining Room. Grandma Ziva still had a wheelchair in the place today, and people from the woods and the lodging towns had been out to greet her since just now.

At this point, the number of people by the woods feels unbeaten by 'Dawn Day'. The parents of Birdu-Fow and Run had also come with a different facial family than last time, and Jou-Run and others had been wandering around the perimeter of the stall since about earlier, waiting for Yumi's arrival.

"If you're so concerned, why don't you pick me up at the Westwind Pavilion? Nothing. Samus wouldn't complain, would he?

"Yes. But I met Yumi at this place. If this is the case, we should have met at the Westwind Pavilion."

And Joo-Run was sighing in a slice. In light of the values of the people by the woods, it is not acceptable to change the meeting place at will, I guess.

"Well, it should come before it's five moments.... Speaking of which, how was your job at Westwind Pavilion? I've always wondered, but I haven't had a chance to face Joo-Run."

"Yes. It was a very full day. I spent the morning and evening with Yumi, so I guess it's natural to have fun, but even without it, it was a lot of fun helping me with a novel job."

If they told me to take this away, even Yumi wouldn't be able to forbid blushing. Even as a people by the woods who make honesty a virtue, it is Jou-Run who is too naked.

(Joo-Run will look totally hardened to accompany Yumi. Well, it's not about me prying)

Yumi appeared only after about four and a half minutes had passed since then.

Even today, Luia appeared together. When Joo-Run greeted it with a joyful face, Yumi just said, "What?," she blushed.

"Your help period is over, isn't it? We're going to work, so don't interrupt."

"Of course it is. I want you to deepen your bond, taking care not to disturb the work of the Yumi."

"Already!" he says, with his elbow as Louis laughs at his face reddening Yumi's arms. It was a smiling interaction between men and women of their age who had not had much opportunity to see in the forestside settlements.

Then another half hour or so passed - finally, to the five moments up.

From the north end of the street, a frivolous group approaches. The commuters, with a somewhat awe-inspiring cheer, were to turn themselves to the left and right of the street.

"Hmm. That means the Lord of Genos is lurking in there, too."

Fou's men, who were by the stall as escorts, snap low.

In the meantime, a group from Castle Town had stepped into the territory of Accommodation Town.

Walking the lead, like last year, is Melfried, the leader of the Kingsguard regiment. It was crackling to see Melfried's armor, but it was still such a force.

Behind Melfried are numerous Totos cars, the left and right of which are strictly protected by soldiers with long spears. I'm sure some of the cars also refrained from Eurifia and Odifia, but it was difficult to ascertain its appearance from the outside world.

The number of cars exceeded twenty, and the march was stopped about right past our stall in the middle of it.

After a while, on the roof of the leading car, a figure rises. It would be Malstein, wrapped in pure white armor.

"O inhabitants of Saturas territory! And visit my Genos, guests of Selva, Jagal and Sim! Finally, the demise and resurrection of the Sun God is approaching after five days!

The prestigious voice of Malstein echoes. This may have been the only day in a year to see Malstein raise his voice so much.

And when Malstein was about to say something more - hiccup, I felt like a small, black shadow had come along.

At the same time, Mulstein's figure sinks in. Before I could guess why, I had my arm in my arms held by Ai-Fa.

"Get down. A thief."

"Here you go, thief?

Still, I didn't understand the situation, but the powerful fingertips of I-Fa made me sit half as hard.

"Neither do you! Down in the shadow of the stall!

The other women, too, were to give in in in a hurry.

And in front of the stall, the hunters stand on the sidelines. It is not the six guards, but the hunters of the spectators who were scattered round and round. Among them, he also saw the parents of Rats and Baim.

"Someone let go of an arrow to the lord. It's a lot more pleasant to imitate."

While laughing with the usual cheerful face, Ratz's parents were burning their eyes in a mess.

Baym's parents look around with their bottom light eyes and then peek inside the stall.

"It's Asta. If I let it go, wouldn't the meat burn?

"Oh, yeah, right. Ray-Matua, turn the message so the fire bowl is out. Fire bowls are hot, so be careful not to burn them."

When I told him that and then turned to the opposite stall, Malfira-Naham had recovered the fire bowl for a long time. On the other side of it, Jou-Ran is laying his hands on the knife on his hips, sheltering Yumi and Luia.

I looked up at Ai-Fa's face running my gaze outside the stall in a mid waist position while I was getting my breath ready.

"What do you say? Something doesn't seem to be making a lot of noise..."

"The people in town don't seem to know what happened. But that sounds like a lot of noise over there."

Over there, of course, would mean near the beginning of the Totos car. Indeed, on the other side of people's suspicious temptations, what should also be called signs of frenzy was felt.

"The thief may have fled to the south side. These men, then, should be grown up. If all these people lose me, they'll be in danger."

While shining blue eyes sharply, Ai-Fa was the deposition itself.

It's time for me to show my face as I look down on Ai-Fa. Even as those eyes went out on the stall table and reached a height where they could see the streets, Ai-Fa said nothing. I guess that means there's no sign of imminent danger here.

The black cat on Ai-Fa's shoulder flies over to my shoulder as if he hates the pressing signs the hunter unleashes. Even then, Ai-Fa did not complain.

People hitting the streets talk to people close by with suspicious faces. I wonder why Malstein suddenly collapsed, why he doesn't try to get up, and why signs of hustle and noise come from around him. Without Rats' parental monologue, I wouldn't have been able to tell that an arrow had been fired at Malstein.

(Is Malstein safe? I don't think it's going to be that bad because I'm wrapped up in armor...)

A painful time passed.

And - all of a sudden, I was suppressed in the head by I-Fa.

"Get down. From behind, there's a funny sign."

Needless to say, I-Fa dressed me in a backpack and headed back to the jungle behind the stall.

And some of the hunters who were on the side of the street, they bypass the stalls and rush over here. I guess I sensed the same signs as Ey-Fa, from the other side of the grove.

That's when - from across the woods, I heard footsteps treading on the grass.

Ey-Fa, with his hands on his hips, stops the move along the way.

"Chim-Sudra. You caught the thief."

"Mm-hmm. All of a sudden this one's been slaughtered. Looks like you were trying to escape something."

It was Chim-Sudra, lurking in the groves to serve as an escort.

Little Chim-Sudra has a man with a bigger figure around her shoulder than she is. And Chim-Sudra was gripping the dagger and bow of her undress in the opposite hand.

"This bow was hooked to his shoulder. Whatever it is, it will be outlawed because it was suddenly slaughtered."

Chim-Sudra, unconstitutionally, rolled the man's body to the ground.

He is a man of the people of the west, with brown hair and ivory skin. However, I did not know the color of my eyes because I had peeled off my white eyes and had fainted.

When Chim-Sudra pulled off every clasp that was lowered to the man's waist, he put a dagger out there. With that dagger, I guess it means he was slashed.

"Well, the outlaw should have handed it over to the guards. Should I take him myself to a place called Stuffing?

"No, you don't have to."

Further figures popped out of the miscellaneous woods to respond to the words of Ai-Fa, only three, white-coated guards.

"Excuse me. From the people by the woods who had refrained behind this, I heard the circumstances. The outlaws there have fled the south, haven't they?

"Mm-hmm. I was slashed before I asked what it was for, so I was forced to stop slapping him. I'm losing my mind, but I shouldn't have suffered any injuries."

"Thank you. This man is an outlaw who fired an arrow at Lord Genos."

When a person seemingly a platoon captain with room decorations sent instructions, one went out onto the street and ran out in the south direction, while the other began to wrap the man's arms with leather strings.

"Later, I think I'll let you know more about the situation. Until then, I don't need to say anything else.... Besides, this guy might have company. If the people of the woods find out that they have cooperated in their captivity, it will be an unnecessary disaster."

"Hmm. Above all, I want to avoid that"

"See you soon"

The two soldiers held a man from left to right and disappeared across the jungle.

Then after a while, Mulstein's voice finally resonates.

"An outlaw has just been captured who has fired an arrow at me! It is an unforgivable great sin to point a sword at a human being who, I fear, has bestowed a title on His Majesty the King of Selva! I want to believe that such lawlessness is only available today!

The streets were wrapped in amazement, and I breathed relief. Mulstein's voice remained as powerful as it had just been. I'm sure he was alert to the pursuit and evacuated into the car.

"Also, no matter how unlawful imitations of humans appear, Genos has a regiment of inflexible soldiers to refrain from! I want my residents and guests to enjoy Easter of the Sun God without endangering anything! As long as your heart is right, let Western God grant you protection!

Malstein, in armor that looked distant, thrust his right arm high above the sky.

"Now with the flesh of Kimmus and the flesh of Gibba, and with the liquor of Mammalia, let us live the resurrection rite!... to the Sun God!

After a beat of blank space, he said, "To the Sun God!" The voice was chanted.

That's how we survived the unexpected incident, when the Kimmus meat and fruit liquor of the day were to be distributed.
