901 Joint Harvest Festival ① ~ Lower Preparation ~

The day after the inn's stopover - it is the second day of the tea moon.

As Ey-Fa and I cleaned up our morning work and relaxed in the shade of the tree, we heard the approaching tone of the luggage car.

"Wow! Asta to Ai-Fa, oh no!

It was Lulu of the Lulu family who was being pulled from the luggage truck, and Limi-Lu who was holding the reins at your table.

It was Raina-Lou and Pratica who came off the carrier. Both names greeted me in the morning in their own way.

"Good morning, Pratica. Did you rest well last night?

When I made her laugh, Platica nodded, "Yes," with no expression. After finishing the inn stopover, Platica was set to reveal the evening at the Lou family, as Raina-Lou suggested. As such, today, we were scheduled to continue on our way to see the Joint Harvest Festival.

"Was Rimi-Lou the purpose of delivering the two to Fa's house?

In an EY-FA inquiry, Rimi-Lou said, "Yeah!," he nodded cheerfully.

"Brother Giza said there was no reason to go out so early, so Lulu needs to go back to the house. Brother Ziza is headed to Jomtien, so until then, say hello to Sister Raina!

"Right. Don't make me feel any more proud that Ziza-Lou or Donda-Lou will trust us to keep our family."

Ai-Fa, with a gentle expression, stroked the reddish hair of Rimi-Lou on your table.

Rimi-Lou laughs "eheh" as she delightfully narrows her eyes.

"I'm sorry I can't go with you today, but I'm not trying my best to get along with people like Sung and Ravitz, either!

"Uhm. I'm going to do everything I can to make the right bond"

"If I'm Ai-Fa and Asta, I'll be fine! Well, then, Limi's not going home!

Like a cozy spring breeze, Limi-Lew blew past us.

Ai-Fa looks around us, "Well," as he arms up.

"I don't think it's been two minutes since the sun came up, but you're already willing to head to the Ravitz settlement, aren't you?

"Yeah. They're going to start preparing feast dishes in the morning over there, so I want you to show them to me."

"I know the phase. Then get in this van."

Follow the instructions of I-Fa and we'll head to the luggage truck that's stored next to the mother house.

There are only four humans, but Brave, Durmoor, Zilbe and Sachi are also on board. Sachi, who was sitting on my left shoulder, watched for a little while to see how even the Braves could get in the luggage.

"It's finally the Joint Harvest Festival. Not to mention the feast dishes, but I look forward to the harvest festival itself."

In the luggage car that started to move by the driving of I-Fa, when I let him tell me that, Raina-Lou responded with a smile and a laugh, "Right."

"A harvest festival between clans without blood is also a new lesson devised by Asta, so we are delighted to have been celebrated this day in a connected manner. … but I'm just going to stick to the feast dish."

"That's already Kamado's business. I don't have a chance to talk about the extra family feast dishes."

"Yes, the addition of Malfira-Naham to Kamadu's turn to make it all the more exciting."

Then Pratica, who had taken a precisely right-seat position among the swinging carriages, stuck her sharp gaze at us.

"Malfira-Naham, yesterday, dinner, together, you're a long man, aren't you? She, should I expect, is she a cook?

Answering this question required a thought.

"Hmm. I have no doubt that she has a definite hand and a keen tongue. But we haven't even spoken of her own dish yet."

"I see. The unknown part, because of the many, you expect, you follow. Other noteworthy cooks, do they exist?

"Right. Today we may find out more about the average skill by the woods than about individual power. Since the number only exists to count as much as if I had handled it directly, I guess that makes me wonder too."

Today is the joint harvest festival of the Ravitz blood clan and Meme and Sung.

Of these, only a few people in the street business were regularly handled by me. From those few people to their respective houses, that was the point of greatest concern as to how and which cooking techniques were being communicated.

While we were so soothingly exchanging words, which time had passed that was dozens of minutes - eventually the calm voice of Ai-Fa was delivered from your podium.

"I see it. It's a settlement in Ravitz."

I was in formation right next to your stand, and I tried to get my face out of the side of Ai-Fa.

The roads by the woods are loosely serpentine to the north. There was a sidewalk a few dozen meters away, and I could see a bright white cloth wrapped around a tree just beside it.

"Oh, that one? You're kind enough to mark me."

"Mm-hmm. The chieftaincy wouldn't know the location of Ravitz's settlement."

We haven't visited Ravitz's house in almost a year. Previously, I visited the Golden Moon of the Moon, which did not exist this year - I - Fa - drained blood and dismantled it, and I - each handed it to make delicious dishes.

Having let Gilr's gait loosen, Ai-Fa continues onto the sidewalk.

Waiting ahead was a look at the settlement of Nostalgic Ravitz.

The settlement of Ravitz is so vast that it is disproportionate to the number of families. The number of houses is seven, and the size of the square is comparable to that of the Lew family. That may be a sign of the decline that Ravitz's house has lost a lot of family in the last few decades - the house and square are nicely appointed and have nothing to do with the flattering atmosphere. Besides, it seems that several houses collapsed in the formerly devastating earthquake, and they also seemed to be properly remodeled.

Moreover, the harvest festival is ready without delay. In the middle of the square was stacked firewood for ritual fire, and in front of it is also provided a platform for the brave men of power to sit. Simple kamadoku was also assembled everywhere on the outer perimeter of the square, and beside a house, a woman was seen installing a "Gibba's Round Grill" scaffold.

"First, say hello to the main house."

Ai-fa got off your platform and started pulling the reins, so we decided to go down the square on our own feet, too.

The people who were installing the scaffolding wave from afar. Not sure with my eyesight, but I'm sure it's the women I've seen. I waved back the same momentum.

"Excuse me. Fa's head, Ai-Fa, his family, Asta, Rayna-Lu of the Lu family, and Gerd's guest, Pratica."

When Ai-Fa called it that way, the doorboard of the mother house was opened without waiting.

It is the less recognizable man who emerged from it. He was about the length of his back, but had a wide and thick physique, with brown eyes just glowing on his square face.

"Ravitz's youngest brother? That's awful. I'd like to say hello to my parents, Day-Ravitz."

Ai-Fa was once in the woods with the hunters of Ravitz, so of course he's the one I've seen. Ravitz's youngest brother nodded silently, pulling straight across the doorboard.

After a while, the doorboard opens wide this time.

Day-Ravitz and his youngest brother, and another stranger, stood in front of us.

"You arrived a long time ago. It's time for the women to finally get to work."

First of all, Day-Ravitz tells me that in an unfathomable voice. His head was rugged and his eyebrows almost cleared, and he was a magnificent man with a strong eye light. On its forehead, wrinkles had begun to lean in this way as early as possible.

And the other man - he has such a small physique that his back length is barely the same as Rayna-Lew's. Not that old, but his hair is a lot retrogressed and he has a hairstyle like a fallen warrior. And that hair, draped all the time, had a pale golden brown color.

"The only person who knows these guys should be Fa's parents. This is my eldest brother, and this is my youngest brother. My second brother has already returned his soul, and my eldest and youngest sisters are dowry in their families and divisions"

This man was a trail to Ravitz's main house.

Somehow - no less than the father, it's a bit of a unique look. Even though he is not so skinny, only his face is fractured from one piece to the next, glowing tinted eyes from his fallen orbits. Also, it was not only small, but a little cat-backed, and it was somewhat unsettling to look up at people's faces to soften them up.

"So... that's the rumor, Gerd's guest"

Day-Ravitz's eyes were directed at Platica.

Pratica has a riddled and tight face and goes on and on with "yes".

"I'm Pratica-Ger-Armaya. I am deeply grateful for your presence and forgiveness today."

"Hmm. I don't even know what kind of difficulty I'll get later if I turn down the human offer to bring him to the aristocracy. … However, in the woodland area, we ask you to follow the woodland code. If you can't protect it, I'll have you out of here in no time."

"I understand. Annoying, Never to Do, Oriental God, Western God, Morga Forest... and Father's Soul, I swear"

Pratica had his unbeatable eye on purple eyes as well as Day-Ravitz.

Day-Ravitz snorts "hum" like it doesn't even seem funny.

"Okay, let's keep the steel. Because it's a woodland lesson."

"Yes. Poisonous weapons, similar, right?

When Pratica put her hand on the clasp of her coat, Day-Ravitz said, "Oh?" and deepened the wrinkles on his forehead.

"There is no such thing as a lesson as depositing poisonous weapons. Or are you bringing something so noisy to the woodside?

"Yes, by the woods, I have been told to learn and obey the house."

Then Ai-Fa asked to speak with a calm face.

"As Day-Ravitz put it, there was no such thing as a lesson as depositing poisonous weapons by the woods. That would be because there was no man by the woods to bring such things in. However, I hear that even when you first visited the Lew family, you did not keep poisonous weapons."

"Yes, I also heard that from my mother, Meer Ray,"

"Mm-hmm. But then, when you invited Silver Pot to the Lou family, you said you also kept the poison weapon. There were a total of nine Silver Kettles, and there were still many unknown opponents, so they would have decided to keep them just in case.... Even the Luu family of the chieftaincy muscle has yet to prescribe a definitive learning, so now we're going to have to respond at the discretion of each parent?

"... pulling people from the outside into the woods in the first place makes it easier to talk."

While spilling conservative-leading stupidity, Day-Ravitz once again screwed Platica.

"Whatever it is, you can't be allowed to carry something as noisy as that. Along with steel, let me keep it."

"I understand. Per coat, may I? I want to take care not to cook, get dirty, bring it in, I hope"

Platica offered her a coat and dagger because it was a "do as you please" response.

While sheathing the knife of his hips, Ai-Fa calls to Day-Ravitz.

"So should I also keep the hunter's clothes? Either way, I'm going to keep it at night."

"So do as you please. In the first place, there has never been a chance for a hunter to set foot before, so there is no learning about the hunter's clothes."

"I understand. Now, I want you to keep it on this occasion."

After leaving the knife with his youngest brother, Ai-Fa also took off the hunter's clothes.

At the same time, a big younger brother glances at himself slightly. Ai-Fa tilted his little neck, while also offering his youngest brother a hunter's coat.

"What's up? You seem surprised by something."

"No... you're a hunter, but you're wearing women's costumes."

"Mm-hmm. I was supposed to look like this last year when I did the bloodless trick."

"... I've been behaving with Fowe's parents, and I didn't have much to do with you."

"Right. Whatever it is, it would be a disobedient deed for me of the ladies to wrap up my male outfit, and this one is more mobile, so I wrap up my ladies outfit during the giva hunt"

My youngest brother, who had received Ai-Fa's baggage, was letting his gaze wander with the way he was having trouble doing his eyes.

Seeing that, Day-Ravitz hisses his hairless eyebrows.

"Hey, he hasn't given you a wedding yet. Stop tempting me."

"You think it's temptation? What have I done? That's what I want you to stop talking about."

"Oh, that's enough. If you want to see Kamado's work, go away. Back there, the women are gathered."

As Day-Ravitz tried to pull himself back, Ai-Fa raised her voice, "Wait."

"On the carrier, the hounds and cats refrain. During the day, will they also be allowed to walk?

"Take it personally," Day-Ravitz pulled in, but now his eldest brother raised his voice, "Wait." It's a rough, scratchy voice in my ear.

"I know hounds, but what is a cat? I don't even remember hearing such things."

Ai-Fa nearly opened his mouth, but Day-Ravitz responded earlier than that.

"I thought you told me you welcomed a strange beast to your family at Fa's house? A cat is a beast."

"Oh, is that... what kind of beast is that?

My oldest brother will compare me to Ai-Fa in a golden pot.

I agreed with Ai-Fa and decided to pick up Sachi from the carrier.

"Sachi, do you have a minute? Say hello to the Ravits for your help today."

Sachi, who was round in the corner of the carrier, raised his dissatisfied voice "Be" before waking himself up.

When he approaches me like that, he builds momentum and jumps on my shoulder. To that appearance, his eldest brother rounded his eyes.

"Is that the cat? You're smaller than Geez's rat."

"Sachi is only a young man. But it's gotten bigger this past month."

Feeling the weight on my shoulders, I turned to my elder brother physically.

He's just about a head smaller than me, so he's dressed to look up slightly at the sati on his shoulder. Its eyes, wide open, eventually narrowed with a grin.

"You're a lovely beast if you do. Geez, that's a big difference."

"Ah, yes. You seem smart enough to beat a hound."

"Right, right," my eldest brother said, lowering his mouth. It is kind of like a favorite grandson because of his face, which looks older than his age. Suddenly my impression turned, so I couldn't help but be surprised.

(My youngest brother, too, but don't be kind of relieved when I can show you this human smelling side)

That's how we resigned from the main house.

Let me put my luggage car on the side of the house, and Gilr ties the reins to the nearby branches. Sachi went round on the carrier again, and the Braves followed us with a chick.

Kamado huts are set up on the back of their motherhouses, as are many of their families. As I headed over there, I-Fa whispered, "It's Asta".

"What the hell is all this seduction about? You should have seen that I didn't behave funny."

"Huh? That's why... you're just talking about my youngest brother being accidentally seen as an eye-fa, right? When the hunter's clothes are in front of him, the outfit beneath him will be hidden."

"What I'm entangled in is the outfit of a bunch of women with nowhere strange, so there's no reason to see it. Instead, Rayna-Lew dressed the same way, didn't she?

"So, well, I guess that means my mind wasn't ready. Even I, when I first saw Ai-Fa undress the hunter, my heart jumped by accident."

As I walked, Ai-Fa squeaked my head around.

Raina-Lou, who was walking right next to him, said, "What's wrong?" and round his eyes.

"No, it's nothing.... Oh, you're smelling good."

Fortunately, Rayna-Lew's interest was soon to be directed to Kamado's cabin. There was already white hot air and smoke coming out of your window.

"Oh, Asta to Ai-Fa. Plus, Rayna-Lew and Gerd's guests.... Welcome to Ravitz's house."

The doorboard of Kamado's cabin was open, so Lily-Ravitz immediately noticed us.

Indoors, only seven or eight women seem to be busy standing. Those people, too, bewitched me in a disquieting manner.

"There was Malfira-Naham just now, too, but I misplaced him. Hey. By now, you'll be taking care of Naham or Vin's women."

"Was I? May I give you a tour of this one first?

"I don't mind this one, but I'm just chopping meat and vegetables instead of having a light meal during the day right now. Why not? I don't think it's worth looking at."

After saying it that way, Lily-Lavitz smiled less. Its sleepy, narrow eyes rest on Pratica's face.

"As for Ravitz's blood clan, I'm not letting Murphyra-Naham handle the partition. I think it would be better to go after her."

"Really? Me, Asta, I obey."

I've been working on it for a while now.

Apparently, Kamado in the main house is in charge of "Tarapa Stewed Water Dumplings". At present, I think it is still carving a huge amount of materials. Indeed, at the moment, there seemed to be not much to see. Minced meat and vegetables have already been seen by Pratica at the mercy of the stalls.

"Then I'll look around the house on one street, and then I'll interrupt you again. Um, can I walk around on my own?

With the words, "Go ahead, be my guest", we decided to move forward.

Because of this, when I tried to go back to the square in the reverse direction, the women of Sung were engaged in the task of baking Poitan in the outdoor Kamado. When you realize what we look like, you wake up with a nervous face more than just about anyone else.

"Fa, you're Ai-Fa and Asta from Fa's house, right? Thank you for hitting on me."

"I'm sorry I'm in the middle of your work. Whatever you want us to do, keep working."

Some of them remembered greeting the Easter fold. Otherwise, it would be the first time in almost a year. From among them, the elderly women have bowed their heads deeply.

"I am partitioning the women of the Sung family. The fa people are delighted to see you well again."

The partition of the women means that she is the companion of the head of the main house and the mother of Klua-Sung.

On behalf of the house of Fa, Ai-Fa solemnly responded "Uhm".

"You seem magnificent, too. Above all. I am also delighted to see the Sung family's human addition to the harvest festival today"

"Thank you. We share the joy of our harvest with our compatriots by the woods, thanks to all of us, including Fa."

That said, the parent's partner slightly moistened his eyes.

"Today, thank you. … So, who are you…?

"This is Reyna-Lew, the next sister of the Lew main house, and this is Gerd's guest, Platica. I was supposed to visit so early to see Kamado's work."

Raina-Lou was also to be greeted so thoughtfully that we couldn't beat him. It was the house of Luu and Fa that played the greatest role in uncovering the sins of the former Sung family and bringing a new order to the forest. Raina-Lu had also returned greetings to the people of the Sung family with the attitude that the family of the Luu main house deserved.

"The women of Sung are helping Kamadu, another family member, work here and there. I know it's annoying, but please let me say hello to your family."

In closing those words, we were to leave the scene.

Platica looks back at me as I go out into the square and go for the house next door.

"You're different from family to family, aren't you? Ravitz, he's probably very tall, and Sung, I admire him, I felt him."

"Yes. Ravitz and Sung will be special family members to us, among other things. It could be a little bipolar."

"I see.... only the Sung family, name, listening. Once, a felony, a family member who committed it, right?

Alvach and the others had a great deal of interest in the people by the woods, so I guess they were going to hear those stories somewhere too. I nodded, "Yes," looking straight back at Platica's face.

"However, the Sung family has redeemed their former sins and is diligently trying to live right in the future. We are also very happy to see the Sung family's harvest festival."

"Yes. I understand. Once a chief, all the family, because you missed the path, did you wind up? Dear Alvach, I am listening."

And Pratica puts a lot of effort into her eyes, like she does against me.

"The person who stands above, if you go the wrong way, the person below, misfortune, you cannot escape. The people of the Sung family, the sin of a former chief, if you could overcome it, I, would be delighted, I think"

"Really?" I laughed.

"The Gerds were so understanding about the people by the woods, weren't they? I really appreciate that."

"We, the people by the woods, have the right bond, we want to bond, we wish"

With that said, Pratica finally turned that way. Such a trick also seems to be the result of suppressing a favorable spill of emotion, and it is me who smiles.

So when the next house approached me, one lady rushed over here. If you think of anyone, it's the Rats ladies who are familiar with the help of stalls.

"Good morning, gentlemen.... Um, it's very painful to wish this on Asta, the guest, but could you please confirm the appliance you use in" Giva's Round Grill "?

"Yeah, I don't mind."

Apparently, among the women who waved at me earlier, she was included. From Rats and Auro, the family of memes, one woman at a time came out to help cook the feast.

Approaching two houses from the main house, two scaffolds are installed next to them. Standing there were still the Auro women helping with the stalls and two strangers.

"Oh, good job, Asta. I wonder if there's any deficiencies, right?

"Which one?... Yeah, there doesn't seem to be a problem. Will" Giva's Round Grill "be handled by these four?

"Yes. I plan to take turns several times along the way, but I plan to work with these four first. It won't be until after Jomtien."

Rutz's house took the initiative to buy the necessary equipment for "Giva's Round Grill," but it was a story that we still had a preliminary exercise in our own house. "Grilled Giva Round", which takes time to cook, is still not a contribution for dinner.

"Until then, I'm supposed to help you with your work with each kamado. Which way are the Astas headed?

"We were looking for Malfira-Naham."

"Oh, if it's Malfira-Naham, I think I just ran into that house over there."

"No, Malfira-Naham also got right out of there and ran over to the house over there"

Apparently, Malfira-Naham is vigorously performing the job of partitioner. We decided to thank the women of Rats and head over to the last house we saw.

So I went around to the back of my mother's house, and I peered inside Kamadu's cabin - and there it was, showing off the battlefield.

"Malfira-Naham, would this be a problem?

"Ha, yes. Maintain that firepower for a while. Oh, all you have to do is take the ash juice"

"Malfira-Naham, you don't mind if I mix this one up in this amount, do you?

"Ha, yes. Look, be careful with the amount of water. I've written down some portions here... uh, don't you ever read the numbers?

"I'm sorry. I haven't trained enough yet..."

"Yes, it's okay. It's okay. Prepare three glasses of water in your bucket."

Apparently, in this place, preparations were under way for 'Giva Bone Ramen'. In Kamado, an iron pan has been set on fire to take stock, and the workbench has expanded the ingredients for making noodle dough.

Speaking up a little bit was also a fascinating atmosphere, so when we were stationary from outside the doorboard for a while - one of the ladies who noticed it said, "Ah!," he sounded cheerful.

"Asta at Fa's house, it's a hiccup! Please come in! … so this is not my home"

I thought about it for a few seconds and then I thought, "Oh." It was the youngest sister of the Naham main house, the sister of Malfira-Naham, who tied the edge during Easter.

Malfira-Naham, jumping up to that voice, looks back at us as he glances at us.

"Yes, you wanted it, Asta. And I apologize for the delay in greeting Ey-Fa, Raina Luu and Pratica."

"No, no, because we're just spectators. Whatever this is, keep working."

The other ladies greeted us like they were scared.

I guess they are all Naham's family. I can see not only Malfira-Naham's sister, but also her mother and the ladies of the branch who are helping me with the stall. Perhaps there were other opponents who saw each other at Easter, but it was difficult to remember their faces as they were descended from different clans into Inn Town at any rate during that period.

"Well, then, I'm going to see how Vin's house is. I'll be back soon, so please keep working.... Ah, come on, about the time to put the dough to bed, is that okay?

"Yes. You measure the time with something called this suke, right? I don't think that's a problem."

"So, so, please. If anything happens, blow the grass whistle."

That's how Malfira-Naham came out of Kamadu's cabin, and he bowed his head to us again.

"Let me, let me, I'm sorry. Ho, today is the biggest feast ever..."

"That's okay. We'll be careful not to get in the way. … but isn't it amazing to be entrusted with such a festive partitioner?"

"Oh, I find it very tempting to say it to my parent muscle, Ravitz's house... Li, because Lili Ravitz has offered it to me..."

Lily-Lavitz seems to see and value Malfira-Naham's arms. At the feast about Ravitz, the story was that it was thus customary to entrust Malfira-Naham with all the partitions.

"Now you're going to go check on Vin's house. Shall we talk while we move?... What are you in charge of there?

"Vi, Vi and Vin homes are miso tailored gibberishes. La, Ravitz's house is a dish with too much tarrapa tailoring, stewed tau oil, and Naham's house is full of mushrooms and vanilla dishes... Nana no Kamadu cabin, we rent one at a time. of, the other two are rented to Meme's house, and the Sung ladies are asked to help with houses everywhere"

"That's amazing. You're a fine partition."

"And, that's outrageous. Yu, if you are Yun-Sudra or Ray-Matua, you won't even hesitate so much"

That being said, Malfira-Naham smiled fuzzily.

"Wow, wow, my power and other meagre things, but I am nevertheless truly honored that Asta and the others can eat the feast dish. And I'm also very happy to have you see the harvest festival."

"Yeah, we're really happy about that, too."

We have different people watching the joint harvest festival. As far as I'm concerned, even if you turn to the side that sees it, you're just as happy and comfortable - just reiterating the thought.
