849 Thirty-first Day of the Purple Moon ⑤ - End of the Year Greetings

About a minute and a half after the opening of the business, when there was finally only a few leftovers of the dish, a lively group approached the stall.

of the people of the west, a group of young men and women. There were even young people whistling sideways while walking, so it's very busy to be seen as a traveler.

What the hell is all this fuss about, as we watched with interest - from which a familiar figure peeked into his face a little. He is Danlo, a resident of the Inn Town, who won the Totos Early Run Games.

"Hey, Asta! It's totally late, but you still seem to be left cooking!

"No, the truth is, we're on the verge of selling out. If you guys buy it, some stalls will be a mess."

"Oh, that was close to danger! I'm closing my stomach today because I decided it was Asta's giva dish!

Dunlo seemed intoxicated.

It's just that no matter how drunk he is, the flair and bulge he has hasn't been compromised. He may be classified as a bad boy in Inn Town, but he was a reassuring regular customer to me.

"Okay, then buy as much Giva food as you want! Now that you're eating, it's like you don't have a heart!

When Dunlo raised his voice that way, the youngsters flocked to the stalls as they responded with cheer.

"Hey, it's kind of, like, an awesome noise today. After all, is it because it's The Day of Doom?

"Yeah? Yeah, we talked about me taking the price of food and drink today, so don't be a jerk. Not at all, no more."

"Yeah? Do you take this many accounts alone, Dunlo? That's a lot... you're fat."

"What, a prize for an example tournament? I promised him I'd do anything on the Day of Doom before he went to the tournament."

Laughing happily, Dunlo said so.

"If I'd held such silver coins, I'd have cared about the eyes of the thieves. I was thinking of following everyone before they got older. I don't think I can hold onto this yet."

"Hmm. Don't you have a family to share wealth with?

"Your answer," Dunlo laughed again as Ai-Fa clapped his mouth from behind me.

"My parents and I were separated from each other when we were little, and the relatives who raised me, when they realized it, they were all above heaven. For me, these idiots are like family."

"Right. You've been able to transform it into our own without giving in to solitude."

"No, no, no," Dunlo waved when Ai-Fa only stubbornly commented.

"I kind of can't resist when the one with the straight eyes says that to me like I'm a-fa. I wasn't originally a good enough person to preach to a pickpocket bastard. The guards didn't do it once or twice, did they?

"But now, is your heart living right? That's how you can tell by the light of your eyes."

"I don't know. Don't buy me too much, okay?

Dunlo stroked his cheek a little shy before turning back to me.

"So, the Astas were talking about a new year in Dalaim, right?

"Yes, a few percent of the people by the woods are going that way."

"Still a cool number of people stay in the lodging town, right? We're going to make a scene in Vilas Square, so keep your voice shut."

Then the Rats ladies, who were preparing the wood plates, laughed at Dunlo.

"My blood is going to stay in the lodging town. May I make my way over there?

"Oh, come on, come on! Anyone from the woods is welcome!

With the "Giva Bone Ramen" finished in that way, Dunlo and several of his companions disappeared into the Blue Sky Dining Room.

I look back at the women of the Rats as I throw the noodles that have been left in the iron pan.

"If you're the parent of Rats, you seem to feel comfortable with Dunlo. He seemed to be interested in Totos' fast-track tournament."

"Yes, I'm sure parents will be happy too"

Perhaps more than 200 people from the woods are going down to the lodging town today, so all of them did not make it to Dareim.

Those people will share the joy with the people of the lodging town. Not so many human beings interact with the people of Dalaim, so that would have been their natural appearance as well.

When the faces brought by Dunlo bought the dishes, several stalls became cluttered, as expected.

Then, less than four and a half minutes later, "Giva Bone Ramen" is also out of stock. Still, it should be noted that there were large crowds of people in front of the stalls.

The Blue Sky Dining Room is also flooded with guests and employees. It was a system that turned to help with the Blue Sky Dining Room in order to finish the stall business, so little work was left for me and the Ladies of Rats.

"Hey, Asta. Lou, the folks at the house told me to go home, do you mind?

And Levi and Lars, who had been around earlier than us to help with the Blue Sky Dining Room, showed up to be ejected from the crowd.

"Yeah. 'Cause Kimmus's Tail Pavilion will be busy, too. Go back and help him."

"Thank you. Tell Ben and Cargo I said hello."

Levi was visiting Dalaim last year, but not this year either.

But you can share the joy with the Mass people there, so the look on Levi and Lars was bright and full.

"Oh, the Astas, too, have finished their stall business."

As me and the Rats ladies approached the Blue Sky Dining Room, Raina-Lou, who was snorting to wash the dishes, laughed. On the last day, both Raina-Lou and Sheila-Lou face each other.

"This one's got enough men, so I think people who can move should head to Dalaim, what do you think? Asta and the others in particular are prepared to cook, so I'd like you to start."

"I'd appreciate it if you did, but are you sure you're okay over there?

"Yes, Ziva ladies are about to leave their luggage, so I'm going to ask Rimi and Lara to head ahead as well"

Then the ladies from the neighboring Rats laughed at me too.

"There is no inconvenience, for I and others will remain in the city of lodging after this. Please head to Dalaim."

"Thank you. … and finally, let me say hello."

I went on my feet to a place where I could see the guest seats, and then I said, "Gentlemen!" I let him shout out loud.

"Thank you for this year! Hope to see you again next year!

After a slight quiet, cheers exploded like a tsunami.

"This way! Thanks again for the delicious food!

"Are you leaving already? See you in the silver moon!

Only the words of the people who were sitting nearby managed to be heard.

Old and young, men and women, they're all smiling and staring at me. The sight gave me so much joy that my chest was stuck.

"Have a good year, everyone! Now if you'll excuse me!

I prayed deeply and finally burned the sight into my eyes again before returning the blemishes.

By then, all the stalls had closed for sale.

Talk to Raina-Lou and Tour-Din to sort out who should head to Dalaim. As a result, we left only one Luu luggage truck and asked Raina-Lu and Mim to stay. The escorts are Zida and Barsha, and Michelle will be on board with it.

"When I've finished washing all the wood dishes, me and Mim will also head to Dalaim. We will also return the stall, so Asta and the others are on their way."

"Thank you. I'll make" Giva Bone Ramen "and wait for you."

From here to Dalaim were me, Yun-Sudra, Malfira-Naham, Ray-Matua, and the escorts Ai-Fa and Lyelpham-Sudra. The rest are the women of Tour-Din and Lid, and the men of Din and Lid, who are escorts.

"Oh, oh, that? Then, there will be about two vacancies..."

People who can't get in the van should already be on foot to Dareim. Of course, I didn't mean to create an empty seat in a valuable luggage truck.

"Schmiral-Lilyn and Vina Ruu-Lylin are also going to be on board. I wonder if Malfila-Naham and Ray-Matua could get on Fafa's side because we're picking him up in Gilru's luggage?

"I understand, sir. See you soon."

Fafa's luggage, with which the men of Din draw the reins, went south down the street, along with the luggage cars with which Rudd-Lou and Dalm-Lou draw the reins.

While I-Fa prepares Gill's luggage, I call on Yumi at the stall.

"Then we're on our way to Dalaim first. I'm sure Rico and the others will pick you up later."

"Copy that! Say hello to the Dollars."

Rico and the others were invited to Dareim today, so Yumi asked for a ride. Yumi, who prepares a lot more food than we do, was always half an hour to a minute late.

Okay, let's go.

Me, Ai-Fa, Yun-Sudra, and Lyelpham-Sudra, four people break into the bustling streets.

It was bad for the second giva food area after a while, so I decided to say hello to Naudis as well. This area is also showing the biggest buzz ever.

"I'm sorry to keep you busy. Happy New Year, too, Naudis."

"Oh, you're done with the business. Thank you again next year."

Naudis was a fuller face than any other, lighting his cheeks with the heat of an iron pan. I'm sure this is what we look like when we're in business.

Moving on, I see Rico and the others performing some kind of play. With all this showing of art in a row, I can't even see this kind of decay on my feet.

That's how we got out of the outdoor area, and then we took the road west.

Schmiral-Lilin and Vina Ruu-Lilin are waiting at the Xuanrong Pavilion.

The "Xuanrong Pavilion" signs a residential area a little deeper from the main street, but the street was also busy today on the "Day of Doom".

People put a table in front of the house and have fun exchanging drinks. When we pulled the luggage, there were not many people who would say hello.

"Thank you for waiting. Thank you for picking me up."

A table was also served in front of the store in the Xuanrong Pavilion, where Schmiral-Lilin and Vina Luu-Lilin had deepened their interaction with the Radajids.

The people of the east do not represent emotions, so the painting is quiet. But there was warm air on the spot, and there was no doubt that they were having a happy time.

"Good luck, Asta. We, the luggage truck, will be ready in a moment."

Under Radajid's command, a young group pulls inside the inn.

Eventually, the group brought in my husband's nail, so I was supposed to loosen my expression "Oh".

"A nail is a little crackly, isn't it? I've always wanted to know how you were doing from the Radajids."

"Yes, I likewise wanted to talk about the Astas"

It is a nail that does not move its expression in the same way as the people of the east, but from its slightly narrowed eyes seemed to spill dear thoughts.

I still wholesale Giva meat and curry vegetables to the Xuanrong Pavilion, but these days my chances of taking on the role of delivery have diminished. It was fortunate to be able to greet you in this way at the end of the year.

"Thank you very much for your help this year. Best regards, next year"

"Nice to meet you.... Will Asta and the others finally get along for about a year and a half? Because it was a very dense day, or it's like we've been spending years together."

With no expression, Nair thanked him.

"Now we will prepare the luggage car. Gentlemen, please be careful."

Pulled out of the warehouse at the back was one two-headed luggage truck. I guess the luggage was transferred to the other luggage trucks so that all nine members could get in.

Once again, we exchange goodbye greetings with the nails and return the spirits for the main street.

"Next time, let me stop by the south."

Of course, it was about the architect's face. Just like the Silver Pot, they go back to the inn after eating the street food and wait for us to arrive.

"Hey, I've been waiting for you! You're finally leaving for Dalaim!

From the dining room of the "Great Tree Pavilion of the South", a variety of people emerge asking whether to reach even thirty people. The Radajids and the unfamiliar were a lot more anxiously frowned upon, but they all still wanted to accompany us.

On the sidelines, I say hello to Naudis' companion. She is a pure western people, but a small, plump woman who has much in common with the women of the people of the south.

"The road at night is dangerous, hey. We also serve alcohol, so please be careful."

The architect's luggage truck was three with two heads pulled. Few people bring their luggage out to such carving limits, so the people who come and go keep an eye on what the hell is going on.

"Oh, I'm sorry, but let me stop by this inn for a moment"

I stopped in front of Kimmus's Tail Pavilion, of course.

I also greeted the noisy people in front of the store and knocked over the door with Ai-Fa, just as Terrier-Mass came out of the cook with the basin in his hand.

"Oh, I 'm-fa to Asta. Is it a return of the stall?

"No. You're going to ask Raina-Lou and the others. I'm on my way to Dalaim, so I thought I'd say hello to all of you..."

"Thank you for your kindness. My father is a cook."

Terrier-Mass grinned and then rushed into the dining room at all costs.

A peek into the cook through the open door encourages Milan-Math, Lars and the woman who helps him to do his job. Faster than I speak, Milan-Math has turned an unfathomable gaze.

"What, you guys? I thought a drunken guest was coming in."

"I'm sorry to keep you busy. Milan-Math, thank you for everything this year."

Milan-Math closed the lid of the iron pan, taking his hat and soaking up the sweat on his forehead, before lowering his head small.

"This is the one, I guess. Thanks to you guys, it's been busier than last year. Now there's no rest."

"This time of year, you look really tough, don't you? Please don't just push it."

"Hmm. I'm not going to be too old for this."

With his hat back on, Milan-Math said bluffing.

"But... not only have I been baked to take care of the food this year, but I've even had my feathers to help me with my cooking job. There's one thing about Lars and Levi, and no matter how thankful I am, it's enough."

"No, thanks from Milan-Math, nothing like that"

"So you said you don't remember this one burning your care."

That being said, Milan-Math breathed small.

"It's been a rough year for you guys, too. The next year, hopefully a little more serene."

"Haha. You're welcome to be busy."

So Terrier-Mass with the basin up came back.

"Asta, the Levis who work in the dining room are also saying they want to say hello, okay?

"Oh, I understand. Happy New Year, everyone."

I bowed my head to Milan-Math and Lars and an unknown woman, and I headed over to the dining room.

The dining room is as noisy as a feast. Levi and Leyt were encouraging the collection of empty dishes and the taking of orders, and in seats close to the entrance Camua-Josh and Zashma were choosing a drink.

"Hey, Asta to Ai-Fa. You've finally finished your last job of the year."

"Yes, we're on our way to Dalaim."

I also invited Camua-Josh to Dareim. But he wanted to celebrate the New Year with Late, who helped Kimmus's Tail Pavilion.

Late and Levi, with their massive dishes, are also approaching us. I put a hook on it and let Late, who was totally familiar with the inn, laugh "hey" at me.

"Good day, Late. Nice to see you next year."

"Yes, thank you very much"

Late smiles behaving and slips past me and Ai-Fa. Levi smiled bitterly and dropped off that little hindsight.

"It's hard for me to lose my mind, too, because I know what Leyt's one is. That's why the sword and Totos' arms are so much better than the crowd."

"Yeah. Only because Late is a disciple of Guardian."

"I'm gonna lose, too. Hey. See you next year."

With all due respect, Levi headed to the cook.

Camua-Josh laughs at the garlic after tickling the drink's fruit liquor.

"Kimmus's Tail Pavilion is finally getting lively. Before I met Asta, I couldn't compare myself."

"Yeah, I'd be glad if we could help at all."

"I mean, at all, most of that would be the power of the Astas, wouldn't it? Well, more or less, I guess the presence of the people by the woods is revitalizing the Inn Town itself."

"Not at all. Lately, we've got a reputation for Giva cuisine all the way to a far away territory."

Laughing cheerfully, Zashma told me that too.

"Don't let your neighbor Doug get carried away, because he's twisting his head like this. In that sense, then, the effect of Asta's activities extends to other territories."

"That's all about fear. I want to encourage you not to lose your reputation."

After I answered like that, I turned to Camua-Josh.

"By the way, Camua. It's daytime today."

"Oh. I've heard from Pinot. If Asta's heart is lighter, it's more than that."

Camua-Josh is smiling with a pungent look.

But in those purple eyes, there was a clear light.

"They haven't asked me what way I helped Asta, but Pinot is oh I can see and one or which person. No matter how much I trust you, I don't think you'll be betrayed."

"Yes, I am very grateful to the Pinots"

Camua-Josh nodded "Yeah, yeah," then turned his gaze toward Ai-Fa.

"Asta's feeling better, and I'm so relieved of Ey-Fa. I mean, I seem to have gotten better from looking different to eye-fa. I was so worried about Asta."

"... it would be natural to worry about your family?

Ai-Fa glanced at Camua-Josh's elongated face as she blushed her cheeks a lot.

Zashma is alone, decent.

"What's wrong with Asta and Ai-Fa? I don't know, I don't see the point."

"What, the Astas who are doing all this work are constantly struggling. I guess that's why I can make up for it and get some extra joy in my hands."

"Yes, I think that's exactly right"

I could have answered that sincerely.

"This year, Camua and Zashma also took care of me. Best regards, next year"

"Yeah, welcome. Say hello to everyone else."

We finally quit Kimmus's Tail Pavilion.

Everyone is asked to move on because they get in the way when they pack their bags in and out of the way. I let Ai-Fa laugh at me as I chased the crowd after it.

"You're finally in the mood for the end of the year. It's also the second 'Day of Doom' for I-Fa, but how do you feel about it?

"... I still can't help but feel like the people in town that this is a sacred day. You're right, it takes the heart to recognize the sun as a god."

Saying it that way, Ai-Fa smiled in a whisper.

"However, in the sense of the end of Easter, it is still a special day… and there is no other place for this day to be without sleep until the sun rises. I'm happy to have such a day with you."

"Yeah. I feel the same way."

When I made him laugh brightly, Ai-Fa grabbed my hand on the lid.

"It's more dangerous than usual to rush the road in this crowd. So I'm going to hold your hand."

"Yeah, roger. Until we get out of this crowd."

With all my best thoughts, I shook Ai-Fa's warm hand back.

Everyone by the woods and the faces of the Silver Kettle and the architect await me, and I knew that there was a pleasant buzz ahead of me in Dareim - and I couldn't help but hope that this time would last a little longer.
