859 Six Days of the Silver Moon ③ - Feast

And it is sunset.

The men who were performing the hunter's work also returned, and Ai-Fa and the travellers arrived safely to hold a feast of rapprochement in the settlement of Luu.

"... it will be last year's silver month that I first invited the guests of the town to this Luu settlement feast. A year has passed since then, and we've had many feasts to invite guests to the town... but we're delighted to have many more guests this silver moon"

With a heavy, groundhonking voice, Donda-Lou declared it so.

Since it is not a harvest festival or wedding, no yagura, etc., has been prepared. Donda-Lou stood in front of the main house's mother house, relative to over a hundred people.

Lew's bloodline narrowed down to 80 participants, but only guests and travelers climb to more than forty. The festivities and the enthusiasm of the same magnitude were swirling on the spot.

"Some guests are visiting the woodland more than once, and this is the first Guest to visit the woodland. I want everyone to be inseparable and to deepen their bond as sons of the same four great gods"

Those words were to be followed by the introduction of all guests.

As a non-Luu bloodline Forestside guest, I, Ai-Fa, Tour-Din, Yun-Sudra, Malfila-Naham, Ray-Matua - and Dick-Dom and Rem-Dom, who originally stayed here - plus a specially attended Joo-Run, there are nine.

The Dora family is the companion of your father and his companion, your elderly mother and uncle, your two sons, Tara, and your older son, eight. In addition, Grandma Michel has refrained from taking that last seat.

From the accomodation towns, Yumi, Terrier-Mass, Levi, Ben, Cargo - from the castle towns, Roy, Siri-Low, Bozzle, Nicola, Dial, Rabbis - Camua-Josh, Late, Zashma - and, in the evening, Rico, Belton and Van-Deiro had also arrived.

Some of the first people to attend Luu's feast, such as Grandma Missil and the Deals, are also included. Even Rico and I used to visit the woods every once in a while, but this is the first time I've been to a feast.

But there was no reason for those people to be exposed to curiosity. I've even invited nobles to the feast of Lou, so even if there are just a few more strangers now, I guess it doesn't deserve surprise.

At the end of the day, however, when "A Seat of Gamleys" was introduced, the square was to be full of blemishes.

I guess it's hard to get used to them and others even though it's their second attendance. It was in the same mood for me.

"You have bought our art today, and we are in the utmost delight. We encourage our seats to add colour to your feast."

The chairman, Gamray, praises him in a conceited manner. He dresses like a pirate. He's an eye-catcher. No matter how much it was, his odd presence never diminished.

Several of them, headed by Pinot, are familiar figures to those who do business in the boarding town.

But when they stood in such a devious line - after all, it was quite powerful. The big man Doga, the masked little man Zan, the luscious beauty Nachara, and the long skinny Dilo are also responsible for helping with such a force.

To Niya the bard, Shantu the beast, Arun and Amin the twins, and Rollo the Knight King, who has not yet wrapped his armor around it, would be such a sinless appearance. But when they are mixed up among the sitters with an unusual appearance, even they appear to be unknown in this world.

And it was Lilanos the astrologer, and Zetta the son of a man and a beast, that stood idle there.

These two names are unfamiliar to me, too. Lilanos and others did not have a chance to face each other either during Easter, and Zetta only had a slight glimpse of it in the darkness of the tent. Those two names were hiding their faces with hooded capes and exuded an eerie atmosphere.

"... today, can't you introduce the beasts?

When Donda-Lou asked at the end of the one-street introduction, Shantu replied "Yes" with a smiling smile.

"Today we are only here to sell art, so we don't need to introduce the beasts"

I snuck up on this interaction, but I immediately thought, "Oh." Speaking of which, they were invited to the feast last year because they saved the hunters of Luu in the woods. The actors were Huey and the Black Monkeys like no other, so Shantu was asking them to treat them like humans.

"Admitted. I want you to show off your art after enjoying a one-street feast dish."

"I understand. Until then, please feel free to relax in the corner of the square and speak up at any time."

Gamray is grinning at the garlic as he grins his mandibular goatee beard. It's a laugh that also goes to Camua-Josh somewhere.

Donda-Lou snorted "Humph," then let his gaze circle over the blood families gathered in the square.

"We shall now begin the feast of rapprochement. Once a blessing to the bond between Moribe and Genos, the words would be disproportionate to today's feast, which invited guests from different lands. Therefore, as the son of the same four great gods, I would like them to share the joy.... to the bond of the people of the four kingdoms!

"To the bond of the people of the four kingdoms!" The word was repeated.

It would be the first time in the woodland that such words had been offered at a feast. There, it was felt that the readiness and determination of the people by the woods, baptized by Western God, were well included.

Whatever it is, it is the beginning of the feast.

As the sitters of "One of the Gamrays" pulled into the corner of the square with a chicken, I headed to the person in charge.

"Well, shall we begin then? Share, just like we decided."

Since there were five Kamado numbers, two were served, three received meals and decided to switch roles in the first and second half. The first serving clerks are Yun-Sudra and Ray-Matua.

"... Hmm. Are you going to sit here, too?

It was Jou-Run, who had called him to do so instead of Yun-Sudra. Joo-Run is smiling with what an ambiguous look.

"Yep. I was allowed to attend in the name of Yun-Sudra's escort... so I have to do the whole job"

"I told you nothing, nothing would ever get tight. It's only a name."

When Yun-Sudra accompanied the words with a bitter smile, Joo-Lan lifted his long forehead, "Hey."

"Parents are pushing me just in case. I don't mind deepening our bond with Yumi, but we can't keep our mouths shut because that's what we're supposed to do."

"Hehe. But even if I'm accompanied by no treatment, it makes me feel heavier."

"Oh, no! That's not what I meant! If you've offended Yun-Sudra, I apologize."

Yun-Sudra chuckled and removed the lids of the two iron pans.

"Now let's get to work. I'll take Shaska's platter first."

"Yes! I want to get used to handling Chaska too, so I'll ask you to take turns later!

Freshly cooked chaska and curry aromas all at once make you look back at the people around you. The first thing I rushed over to was a rash of Levi with a face called Terrier-Mass on Lough Ray.

"Oh, it was him that Asta and the others prepared!... um? But he doesn't seem to have any water..."

"This is a dish called dry curry. Does it fit the mouth of the Rau-Rays?

This was a dish that I was thinking of putting on Poitan dough in the street in the near future.

Spice for curry and season with red mammalian liquor, grated kelp root, ketchup and uster sauce, passing through in the order of minced aria and myrmu, giva ground beef, pra and eneon and chan. Adding Pra and Zucchini Chan for the time of peppers is a result of trial and error, but I hope you like it.

Since solid meat and juice dishes are prepared both at the feast and at the stall, I expect that even this dish, which only uses ground meat, will not raise my dissatisfaction.

I am also proud to say that it is a dish that can be enjoyed with no less grace, both in Chaska and in Baked Poitan - but once again, the Rau-Rays reacted well.

"Uhm! I don't know if it's juice - it's odd, but I don't think it's ever a bad idea! However, you seem more thirsty than normal - so you're going to get more and more fruit liquor going!

"Haha. Don't let Yamil-Ray scold you for drinking too much again.... Speaking of which, it's unusual for Rau-Ray to act differently from Yamil-Ray?

Waiting for the platter for the meals to finish, when I called it that way, Rau-Ray happened to let "um" snap his mouth.

"Yamir also has a job as his number for a while, so he was told to take care of the guests. Parents, I don't have the strength to be ordered to do that!

After saying it that way, Rau-Ray looked back at the Levites, who were tongue drumming at the dry curry.

"I just didn't get a chance to exchange words with these guys during Easter, so I thought you'd be just fine. You've been working in stalls and lodgings all your life?

"Oh. For the Inn, Easter is the best time to make money. I haven't worked in a year, but I don't mean to sound great."

"That's not true. That's just living and working, and I think both Levi and Lars totally have their inn jobs on the board."

With a dry curry wood dish in his hand, Levi and Terrier-Mass smile at each other. To that appearance, Rau-Ray tilted his neck, "Hmm.

"What, that's the kind of relationship you guys had? Well, it looks like you two look great."

"Yes, no! We are never in that relationship…"

"That's right," frowned Levi, as Terrier-Mass blushed.

"If you were seen that way, Terrier-Mass would be sorry. I'm the lowest end of the house."

"What do you mean? Yamir and the others, who became family members from the rest of the family, are the best newcomers in the house. Does that mean Yamir's giving me a wedding with my parents is inappropriate?

"No, I don't really know about that house over there... man and woman, not again"

"I don't think anything's different, and I think I'm probably right. Your daughter is flattering you."

"Yes, no, I wasn't asking about Levi..."

Terrier-Mass lays his eyes down as he blushes. This situation will be the most unfortunate.

But also, it didn't seem useful to both of us to talk to a man as clear as Lau-Ray. The fate of Terrier-Mass and Levi was one of my slightest concerns.

"Then we have work to do, too, so excuse me. See you later. Take your time."

With a basin full of wood plates in my hand, I decided to storm the banquet hall.

The first thing we should head for would be under chief Donda-Lou. In the rug laid in front of the mother house, a large crowd was indeed gathered.

"Excuse me. We brought you our feast dish, so you can enjoy it if you like."

Under Donda-Lou, there were three main family members - Mother Mia Ray, Tito Min, and Sati Ray-Lou - who could not get down to the lodging town during Easter. Besides, you and your uncle, Mother of the Dora family, face Grandma Ziva and Grandma Missil. Not long ago, there were more women in the formation.

"Sati Ray-Lew, it's a hiccup. This is curry food, how about that?

"Yes. I had a stomach at Schmiral-Lilyn before, and he said that the vanilla used in him can't be poisoned if you're pregnant with a child"

That being said, Sati Ray-Luu smiled with a grin.

Its stomach is completely bigger and its expression is finally increasing in softness. Months have passed since the birth control report, but the course seemed to be good.

"Besides, they say Chaska won't be poisoned either. Hearing it made me so happy that I jumped up"

"Haha. Satti Ray-Lew is a big chaska lover."

As I hand out the wooden dishes to everyone, I'll see how Grandma Ziva and the others are doing.

"In this curry, meat and vegetables are finely chopped. I don't know if it's hard to eat, but be careful not to clog your throat because Chaska is sticky."

"Thanks... I'll be very careful when I eat my chaska..."

I'm sneezing my face and laughing. Grandma Ziva seemed sincerely happy.

The Missile ladies right next to them - while on the top of the Buddha as usual - felt somewhere with a soft eye. The nervousness of visiting the woodland for the first time also seems to have been completely dispelled in this few moments.

"The Missiles, too, go ahead.... What about the feast by the woods?

"Hmm. You're older than you were when you pushed Dareim, so maybe it'll calm you down."

Then, your father's mother, you crushed something at Grandma Missil's.

Grandma Michelle looks back at you as she receives a wooden dish from me.

"What? It's so noisy around here, I can't hear you talking."

"Yeah... I was just a little surprised to hear that you were the grandson of Ziba-Lu, the chief with the wrong face over there."

Grandma Ziva also looked at this one with interest.

On the top of the Buddha, with a slightly softer glance, Mother, you raise your voice so that Grandma Ziva can hear you.

"Your grandson is about the same age as my son, right? That's kind of a weird feeling. Me and you are so old."

"Right... well, I'm 86 years old now. Hey... what are you, like, 70 years old...? Well then, I guess that means my kid is closer to his age than I am..."

"... you're talking about your kids already giving their souls back, aren't you?

"Yeah... Especially since it's so rare to live to be sixty... Tito Min is my son's companion..."

Granny Tito Min nodded as she gave a glittering look to her fuzzy face. I don't know the exact age, but I would probably be in my mid-sixties or so. You look a lot younger than Grandma Missill.

"We are truly delighted to be able to exchange words with the Missiles today. The oldest told me a lot about you."

"Hmm. Weren't you holding your head that gut-bent old people would push you?

"No, there is no annihilation either. … I was so relieved to hear from the elders."

That said, Grandma Tito Min carved a laugh on her lustrous round face.

"By the woods, there aren't that many people my age. It may be rude to say this, but I think the elders were happy to make friends close to their age."

"Hmm... I don't know if I can tell you that my grandson over here and my great-grandson are the same age, but they're close."

Mother of the Dora family gave me a bitter look. [M]

But even a bitter smile is a precious smile. Me and the others, that just kind of shook my mind.

"Oh, you mean Tara and Limi, right? Rimi talks about Tara all the time, and the oldest talks about you all the time... so I feel so close to Dora's house. And, of course, Missile."

With a smile, Grandma Tito Min's eyes are filled with a very sensible light. Grandma Tito Min is not just a moderate person.

"I have work to do at home, and yes, I can't even go out to town... but when I look at the happy faces of my family, I can feel reassured that we were never wrong."

"Hmm. Sounds like you're more of an elderly person."

"Yeah, yeah. The oldest doesn't have a childish part. I'm sure you put that part of the elder back together."

Grandma Ziva still heard such an interaction between the two names with a happy look on her face.

And the eye-fa watching over it is also a very full face. Grandma Ziva's joy is directly linked to the joy of Ai-Fa.

"Now, if you'll excuse me for a moment,"

Me and Ai-Fa turn back to Kamadu with the empty basin in their hands.

There, I had a lot of hedgerows. After all, many humans are fragranced by the scent of curry. Turning to the back, there was an increase in the number of serving personnel from two to three.

"Is that it? Is Malfira-Naham supposed to help you over there, too?

"Ha, yes. When people pushed me this far, I couldn't seem to get around until the minute I carried them in the basin... or I apologize for the unsolicited imitation"

"I have nothing to apologize for. Isn't that a good decision?"

Let Yun-Sudra turn away Chaska and Ray-Matua turn away the dry curry. That's how the finished dishes are taken away from one end by the people in front of them. Thus, it seemed that Malfira-Naham had formed a formation between them to begin serving the portion to be distributed in the basin.

"Well, I'll ask for our share, too. Tour-din's supposed to be handing out food around the left, right?

"Ha, yes. Wow, I have not carried it anywhere yet because I was doing my job of serving it up"

"Then we'll hand it out around the right, so Malfira-Naham will have to keep it up to date."

Me and I will pick up six dishes at a time and head to the next rug. Along the way, I came across a line of cooks that were solidifying in front of another Kama.

"Oh, Lord Asta! Your dish has just been served to Lord Tour-Din! That also seems to be the kind of dish our master won't be able to shut up about!

Bozzle, who was scrubbing the juice dish in a wooden dish, laughs at me like that. It was Rayna-Lew's "Giva Soup with Miso and Skimmed Milk."

"And this juicy dish too! Few cooks seem to be in the castle town to pair caron's milk with miso, but the humans who were able to create dishes with such a stunning finish should not be!

"It's an honor," Raina-Lou bowed her head.

"However, it seems that there is still room for consideration for sorting meat areas and ingredients, which is why we are currently discussing it with Mimes and Michelles."

"Uhm. It seems to me that Lord Michelle is finally exerting his fearsome power as a family by the woods! I'm not looking forward to the future."

People outside the bozzle look a lot more oligarchy. I was also concerned that the dry curry I put on the basin would cool down, but somehow I was in a difficult mood to bare.

"Really, that juicy dish is brilliant, isn't it? How were the Roys?

"No matter what, every time I mouth a dish by the woods, I'm caught. We're at a stage where we're getting the basics kicked in, and we don't have time to work on new dishes."

That said, Roy looked back at Raina-Lou better.

"Well, why don't you just start with your mouth full of crying? I'm sorry I'm just getting so inspired, but I'll have to thank you in a minute."

"Yes, I look forward to the day when I can mouth Roy's cooking"

After saying so, Raina-Lou compared Siri-Lou to Bozzle.

"And so are you two. I'd be happy if one day you two could have a mouthful of food as well."

"... I'm not sticking with novel dishes like Roy. Wouldn't it be worthwhile for me to mouth my own personal dishes, if only I had spoken of the dishes of the master Varcus?

When Siri-Low answered with a less hectic voice, Raina-Lou shook his neck sideways saying "no".

"Your cooking, once behaved in the Earl of Saturas family, was certainly the finishing touch that the disciples of Vulcus deserved, but I don't think it was the very dish of Vulcus. I am also strongly interested in your cuisine."

When Siri-Low pulled himself back like a little, he responded with a low voice, "Really..."

It's something I've been feeling since the day, but thank goodness Siri-Low today seems to have more emotional ups and downs than usual. When I thought that way, Roy shrugged his shoulder "Oh".

"Hi Siri-Low, sounds like you haven't been feeling well since I saw that puppet play. I don't know how to deal with the people of the woods."

They were also able to see Kamadu Asta by the Forest in Castle Town. It was the first ear that Siri-Low would be in such a state, even though he had heard of it in the daytime.

"I don't think you need to worry that much. I've been so prestigious, I think I'm gonna feel a draw."

"Oh, I wasn't worried about that! I don't remember being prestigious, or looking down on the woodland -"

And it is Siri-Low who drops his shoulder again when he wonders if he has raised his voice.

"It's just that I'm this temperament... and I wonder if people like me by the woods are blind..."

"There shouldn't be a single person, such as someone who thinks of Siri-Low as a blind eye. I was looking forward to seeing you today, wasn't I?

Rayna-Lew smiled with a grin at the brilliance of her time.

"Besides, I was so happy to be busy at Easter that the Siri-Laws went out of their way to see the puppet play. Now, if I may, I'd like to talk to you about the Siri-Laws."

"Wow, our story?

"Yes, we don't even know with what thought the Siri-Laws aspired to be cooks. I would be delighted if you could exchange words just so slowly."

Apparently this one was cheap if left to Raina-Lou.

I make Roy and Bozzle laugh at the side of Silly-Low, who is crushing you a little in the mouth.

"When I'm done with my work too, make sure you let me talk slowly. Well, if you'll excuse me."

"Oh, man. You can still show me the puppet play today, can't you?

"Yes. It should be. First of all, it looks like the" Gamray's Seat "song is going to show off."

"Roger. I'm looking forward to it."

That's how I finally got back to the job I was interrupting.

After a short walk, you can see the faces making a lively noise in the rug. It was a gathering formed around the people of the Rutim main house.

"Oh! That scent, it's him! I've been waiting for you to know when you'll be transported!

Dan-Rutim, who was in formation in the middle of it, comes cheerfully shaking the earthen bottle of fruit liquor. When I handed over the wooden dish, it became so rounded.

"Hmmm? Asta, isn't this him feeling juicy at all!

"Yes, it will be a dish that I dare to finish that way"

"What, I like juicy people? If it was dry like this, it would be too... No, this is delicious! Doesn't it taste delicious to be dried?

Dan-Rutim makes me laugh gahaha. It was the eldest son of the Dora family and his companion and second son who were smiling at it.

"Good day, Asta. How did it go with your grandmothers and great-uncles?

"Yes, ladies and gentlemen, you are enjoying your place to talk."

"Really? My grandmothers seemed a little nervous about how well Ziba-Lou's family exchanged words, so that would be nice."

Speaking that way, they were also supposed to be by the woods for the first time in a year, but they looked extremely relaxed because they also had the opportunity to deepen their interaction with the people by the woods on Easter holidays.

Besides, Dan-Rutim and Gazran-Rutim visit the Dora family every once in a while, so I guess they're also at ease. It has a lively yet soothing appearance.

"Ama Min-Rutim, too, is a little hiccup. I apologize for turning the feast dish into a curry today"

"Not at all. I'd like to give you a taste too, just one mouthful."

The story was that curry was ok for pregnant women, but it was preferable for people who milk their children to refrain from vanilla. The son, Zedias-Rutim, should now be taken care of in the Ru family with the Kota-Lu children.

"It won't be long before the travelers' art begins, will it? I wonder if I'll see those beasts again, and my chest will bounce."

"Oh, we toured the tent together last year, didn't we?... Did you hear about Doyle?

"Yes. I hear you've grown so big that you can't even beat your parents. It makes me feel a little sorry for the loss of that little figure... but I'm also looking forward to seeing you grow up big"

At Easter last year, Ama Min-Rutim enjoyed the way Dorui's, the young beast, returned to his childhood heart. For me, that was one of the most important memories.

"Oh, Asta to Ai-Fa. Would you like us to cook too?

and, from the other side of Dan-Lutim's giant, Rem-Dom has called. There were Dom's brothers and sisters, Morn-Rutim, and Zwei-Rutim and Oura-Rutim.

"... you took care of Tia the other day"

Handing over the wood dish, when Ai-Fa called it that way, Rem-Dom said, "Hmm?," he tilted his neck colorfully.

"We acted together at the behest of the chief Graf-Zaza, so maybe it's not a muscle to be thanked by Ai-Fa? I left Tia by the woods because it wasn't my fault."

"... well, maybe so"

Much did not speak, and Ai-Fa handed the wood plates to the others as well.

Then this time, Dick-Dom makes an inadvertent statement.

"Let me also tell the Ai-Fas on this occasion. We're going back to Dom's settlement tomorrow."

"Hmm. The fist wound, finally healed?

"Mm-hmm. I need some more to start hunting work, but it's already been over half a month since I left Dom's house. As a parent, it would have been too long."

Speaking that way, Dick-Dom quietly glowed his black eyes.

"So I also spoke with the chiefs... that the role of the Morga Mountains was to be entrusted to the Lew family"

"Hmm. Zaza and Sautti pull themselves out."

"Uhm. It will be the house of Fa, Fou and Luu, who kept the pattern of the Red People. There are only ten of us headed to Morga Mountain, so we settled on the story that a more circumstantial person should accompany us."

"Right. If you will allow me to accompany you, there will be no difference."

Then Morn-Rutim looked up at me and Ai-Fa looking a lot worried.

"Be careful, Asta to Ai-Fa, when you mound in Morga Mountain. If you look at Tia, you can also believe that the people of the sanctuary have a sober heart… the presence of the wolf of Valve and the serpent of Madarama is worrying without saying goodbye"

"Hmm? Whatever the madalama is, you don't have to worry more about Valve! How kind of a beast they are, I might have explained.

Dan-Rutim turned around.

Morn-Rutim smiles with a face that deceives the toddler.

"Daddy Dan just ran into Valve about twice, didn't he? You don't know what other valves are like."

"But you're talking about Valve and Madarama being friends of the people of the sanctuary! If you believe in the people of the sanctuary, you should also believe in Valve and Madarama!

"But the Tiers said they were hunting madalama, and some clans hunt valves, right? I find it difficult to deduce everything by our logic alone"

"You're worried! As long as there's me or Ai-Fa, you don't have to show them anything! Hey, it's Ai-Fa, right?

I = fa only replied "um".

Again, when it comes to the subject of tier, I guess it makes me feel weird. That was the same thing with me.

(Tia is supper at Fou's house by now too...)

At the chest, the feeling of being pushed into something all the time sprouts.

But I guess I should bite the joy of seeing Tia again tomorrow rather than the loneliness of not seeing her.

Grieving the separation from Tia should be withheld until the time of a real farewell.

And no matter how much loss that was, it was supposed to be less of a joy for me to meet Tia.
