902 Joint Harvest Festival ② - Force Comparison - First Half

Then a few moments pass - over Jomtien too, it is a moment of descent.

Once it was the extreme of disturbance and the work was separated there, a comparison of the power of the hunter was finally to be made in the square.

By that time, the people who are today's spectators have also looked away.

Invited today were the three clans of the chieftaincy muscle, and Ratz and Auro, the blood of the meme, and one man and one woman from the house of Pha, and a facial rash called Pratica.

A combination of Giza-Lou and Raina-Lou from the Lou family, Georg-Zaza and Sphilla-Zaza from the Zaza family, Dari-Sauti and the young ladies from Sauti, and Rats and Auro from their respective parents and the ladies helping with the stall work.

And the people of the five families who welcome it - it felt like they were outnumbered by our joint harvest festival, which takes place in the six families.

Well, these six families include a fa and sudra with few families, so I guess that's inevitable. Originally, the smaller clan is repeatedly merged with the bereaved family, so there are more family members than the bereaved family members.

Ravitz, Naham, Vin, Meme, Sung - I wonder which family members have from 20 to 30. The least family should be the Sung family, which has given way to many families to another family, but still about twenty. Thus, the total number of five families exceeded a hundred, which also exceeded the number of Luu blood clans.

"… Today, for the first time, we will hold a harvest festival with a family without blood. Needless to say, the harvest festival was a sacred ritual of sharing joy in the blood family… At the earlier Parents' Conference, it was decided that the people by the forest should deepen ties with all their families. Dyeing one's hands at the work of learning in this way is also a consequence of following that decision"

Against the backdrop of the main house's mother house, Day-Ravitz was addressing the opening with a bumpy face. The majority of the humans gathered on this occasion would be well suited candidates because they are Ravitz's blood and the venue is Ravitz's settlement. People are listening to the words with a certain face.

"Since I myself am a man of great importance for my ancient learning, I am still restless in doing things that would change my learning in this way. However, unless you look at it with your own eyes and feel it with your own skin, it is difficult to determine whether it is right or wrong, which is the policy around the woods here these days. So I'm trying to see if this is really the right thing to do. The faces of the guests gathered here will be in the same mood. I want each of you to work on today's Harvest Festival with that intention."

Because the blood of Ravitz did not speak up, or the faces of the other families became like it.

Day-Ravitz nods one thing and points in the direction of his right hand.

"Then I'm going to start comparing the power of the hunter. I would also like to ask Mother Forest and her compatriots to show me the fruits of their daily training, since they will be conducting five events, with reference to the harvest festival of the six families, starting with the house of Fa"

Again, silently, people began to walk in the direction of their right hand.

George-Zaza, who was walking next to me, is stroking his mandible too hard.

"There was also a much quieter harvest festival. Apparently, they're a lot more careful."

"Yeah. Does it still make me nervous when all the faces of the chieftaincy muscle are around?"

"It's a natural story. I don't want you to look pitiful, at least in comparison to your powers."

Regarding the power comparison that was going to take place, I couldn't figure out where to put my feelings. In any case, because of their thin relationship with the men of these five families, there are only so many people who know their names as to count them.

Or only two of my proper names were known to me: Day-Ravitz, the head of the Ravitz main house, and Mora-Naham, the eldest brother of the Naham main house. And then there's the head of the Sung main house and Naham main house, the oldest brother and youngest brother of the Ravitz main house I just ran into, and they're not even in Locke.

"... but as for Ai-Fa, is it something I'm still looking forward to seeing comparing the power of the extra clan?

When I asked him sneakingly, Ai-Fa replied "Right" with a solemn face.

"I want to see how much power the Sung family men, who gave up their minds to live correctly as the people of the woods, have come to regain. Besides, Ravitz's blood... it's hard to help. I've always had some interest in it."

"Hmm? We were in the woods together about a year ago, and you still couldn't help yourself?

"Mm-hmm. Ravitz's hunter was too obsessed with avoiding danger, because he was taking away a lot of prey. It's hard to help."

Speaking of which, even when giving the Ravitz hunter a clue to blood drainage and dismantling, Ai-Fa was a long way off the hook.

However, since Ravitz's blood family would weigh heavily on discipline, he should have worked tirelessly on his daily training. And now that we've got the hounds, they should have been steadily increasing yields while averting danger.

"First, then, perform the power comparison of the target."

When we arrived at the edge of the woods, the target of the wooden plaque had already been suspended there.

The manoeuvres around here follow a joint harvest festival of six families altogether.

Five hunters advance their bows and arrows into their hands. Just this time it was five families, so each seems to start with one from a different family.

Boys under the age of thirteen shake targets and toddlers over the age of five count. There was nothing different about its beginnings and lovingfulness than this harvest festival.

When the first hunters thus began to release their arrows, George-Zaza again raised his voice, "Whew."

"Always, isn't that quite an arm?... Well, I guess that seems to be the case because there aren't many bow users in the northern settlements"

From my point of view, it felt like it was an unbeatable skill for the Hunters of the Six Families.

And then a twitch of enthusiasm begins to creep into the circle of those who were quiet. People watching just started dawning. The first cheer also echoed today when the first arrow was shot off and Sung's men's victory was announced.

"That's right, I'm a hunter by the woods. Bow, handle, skill."

And instead of me, Pratica is getting herself out too. Those purple eyes had a strong light similar to when they were looking out for the cooking.

"Is Platica also more interested than this kind of force?

"Yes. He was a father, a bow, a celebrity, and I, my father, gave me a hand, and I was. The people of the mountains, they are the sardines."

Even the culinary number Pratica and his father handled bows, which is a family of hunters. It would have been fortunate if the sight of power comparison had also been a meaningful time for Pratica.

Thus the power comparison of the target is solemnly advanced.

There is no impression which clan stands out, and the power feels antagonistic. Doing so also seemed to increase the enthusiasm of the people watching it.

"Oh, that's good! At that rate, show the forest the power of the meme!

A little distant is the young head of the bloody rats. Blood will still make noise about the activity of the hunter of the familiar meme.

The parents of Day-Ravitz and Sung and the eldest brother of Ravitz are also well on their way. However, Mora-Naham and Ravitz's youngest brother had been defeated in Game 1, and the big hunter still deepened the thought that he would have less chance of handling the bow.

"Under the impression of I-Fa, what's it like?

When I snuck in and asked, Ai-Fa snapped a sharp look and said, "Right."

"I don't think there are any more exceptional users than Chim-Sudra or Joo-Run... but I think the individual powers are superior. Compared to Din and Lid, there seem to be many hunters who specialize in bows"

Even if there are no protruding users, the average level is high.

In the meantime, Day-Ravitz and his eldest brother's parent-child showdown was to take place in the semifinals.

In cheer, it was the eldest brother who seized the victory.

The eldest brother was staring up at his father's face with a grin on his garlic. It's a really bad looking smile from a person, completely different from what he was pointing at Sachi in the morning.

"Again, with the bow, I don't seem to take any more hindsight from my father. Thank you for working out so far, Father."

"Hmm. The only thing to be proud of is to win the Brave Man's throne."

Day-Ravitz pressed his bow against the nearby youth, wrinkling a little like this.

So far it is a great mystery as to what parent-child relationship they are building.

That's how in the next semifinals, Sung's parents also lost.

The winner is the young hunter of the meme. He was not so big but had a smooth physique, and a yellow voice was curling up from the young ladies.

Moreover, in the final, it was the men of that meme who won.

Beyond the women, Rats' parents were to let the roar of joy slip away.

"Well done! The others were never ashamed of themselves! At that rate, show the power of the meme!

To the momentum, George-Zaza was grinning bitterly.

"You're still a hot, bitter guy, the head of Rats is. Me and Din and Lid's hunters were happy to win, but I don't remember messing that up."

"Uhm. If you're still also a parent, you're welcome to do so."

When Giza-Lou answered with a calm voice, George-Zaza looked back at you.

"Speaking of which, we also decided from the next harvest festival to compare our powers even in terms of targeting and climbing trees. In Luu's blood clan, he still only goes by comparison to the power of combat?

"Mm-hmm. It's been considered, but I haven't worked on it yet. … it's no surprise that the northern settlements are set to work early"

"What, we're going to have a harvest festival with Havilla and Dana, too. So just by comparing the power of combat, all the hunters in the northern settlements are going to win."

"I see. I'll tell my parents, Donda, that too. If this number of people can finish the power comparison before sundown, there's a good reason not to compete in targeting or climbing trees."

It is an extremely meaningful exchange of views between the two names that would be responsible for the next generation of chiefs. When did Georg-Zaza also feel worn enough piercing locks to shoulder to shoulder with Giza-Lou?

(Dari-Sauti will still be active by then, and the end of the line by the woods will be increasingly cheap)

When I thought of it that way, the Dali-Souti of the day laughed at me a lot.

"When you look at it like this, don't be envious of those who can give you a harvest festival with no blood family. Well, since Sautti has four families, he's never lost in numbers... but I guess he's more excited than usual because he's a bloodless opponent."

"Right. After all, does it seem difficult to have a harvest festival with Die or Lehn?

"Mm-hmm. Because they are so stubborn, it seems like they are in a mood that they are fearful of having a harvest festival with the chieftaincy muscles, etc. Besides, it's not as close to Sautti and the house as it gets to the rest period."

"If you're gonna say that, we're with you. That's why we haven't had a harvest festival before."

And, George-Zaza interrupts here.

"But it is also only a matter of imitating the ways of the fa and the fou. Even this time, the northern settlements are expected to run out of hunting ground grace first, but at that time they have been decided to help with the work of Havilla and Dana. Doesn't that suit my taste in harvest festival days, etc?

"So even in that regard, the people of Die and Lehn are losing their hips. I think there's a lot to be gained from working in a different hunting ground."

"Then you can order it that way. If it is the order of the chief, the people of Die and Lehn will not be allowed to disobey."

Georg-Zaza laughs lavishly and Dari-Sauti smiles bitterly. Around here, individual temperament probably affects more than the qualities of the chief.

While enjoying such a conversation, the next competition was also launched.

The second event is loading. It was still Mora-Naham who showed overwhelming power here.

Every family has quite a few large men, but Mora-Naham feels outstanding from the skeleton. Demonstrating its unmistakable power on the outside, Mora-Naham was set to win the brave seat brilliantly.

"Yay! Look, Brother Mora is the brave one! Wow!"

It's Naham's youngest sister who's making a scene a little further away.

Malfira-Naham seemed very happy, too, as he shook his shoulder as he reached for that little hand.

The third event is tree climbing.

It was Day-Ravitz, Ravitz's eldest brother, and Sung's parents who showed strength here.

Even though Day-Ravitz and Sung's parents were middle-bodied, they seemed so light that they could not beat their little eldest brother. On target, the young hunter of the meme, who became a brave man, was also defeated by Sung's parents.

In the semi-finals, it was once again a parent-child confrontation between Day-Ravitz and his eldest brother, and repeated three games left him undecided, both of which made it to the finals.

Sung's parents, as well as memes and Vin's men, are also exchanged for a final match by five.

The result was - marginally - the victory of Ravitz's eldest brother.

"In three games, are you tired? You still don't seem to beat your age, Father."

As his eldest brother said so with a slight laugh, Day-Ravitz shrugged off as he muddled his sweaty bald head.

So the first half of the force comparison is over.

Rugs were to be laid all over the square and a hearty snack was to be served.

The men take a short break and the women resume cooking.

On the sidelines of the Chieftain's muscle facade welcoming us to Day-Ravitz and others, we decided to give us a cooking tour.

"Hey, that was an unbeatable feast for our harvest festival. I don't have eyes to see the power of a hunter, but isn't everyone such a cool force?

"Right. At least, it doesn't seem inferior to Fou's blood or Din or Lid. … which meant that both families had considerable local power"

"Hmm. What about that coconut?

"Families in the vicinity of Fa gained their abundant lives early on and were likely to gain further strength. This time the families holding the harvest festival should finally be able to live in abundance these days... but still have the power to be close to each other with Fou, Din, etc. Then it will be that we have been equipped with definite local power since we were poor."

"I see." Then I had one suspicion.

"In it, Meme has had a lot of copper coins from a very early age by selling meat to Fa's house, right? So maybe Ravitz's blood family had the local power, as Ai-Fa put it... what about Sung's hunter? They've been pulling themselves off the giva hunting job for over ten years, and they're still supposed to be taking care of Gene and Sudra, right?

"More than a year has already passed since the Sung family began to take the right path. In that period, it should be seen that its original power has resurrected. … Originally, the Sung family was a mightier clan muscle than any other clan."

I made him say "I see" again.

If you ask me, Mida-Lou and others are blossoming their fearful powers, and about Diga and Dodd, they endure the life of a harsh and well-known settlement in the north. When I heard that Diga and Dodd, who were losing themselves to a lazy life, would be taken over by Dom's house, it was so much so that Rud-Lew and others had commented, "Isn't that with such a capital offense?"

Besides, at the Joint Harvest Festival of the Six Families, Zei-Din, once a Sung family, also gains the throne of the brave.

The people of the Sung family went a long way wrong. But with intense repentance for it, I guess everyone went into training. The result is this.

Thinking of it that way, my chest filled with warm things.

"Asta, please wait"

and is called from the rear with a deposited voice.

Looking back, it was the women of Sufila-Zaza and Sauti who were following us.

"We would also like to accompany Asta and the others, would you mind?

"Yeah, sure. Pratica, too, right?

"Whatever. Outsiders, it's me, so don't worry."

Pratica was not suited to the Sphilla-Zazas for each body, but gave her a bowl of grace. Sphyla-Zaza has a sharp eye for the figure.

"As I was saying, I was upset, but Sufila-Zaza, his name, he wants to know. Best regards,"

"Yes, because me and Georg had dinner together with the nobles of Gerd. I was looking forward to meeting you as his attendant and Kamadoku."

Both behave in a stand-up manner that is not as talented, but the areas of heightened vigilance and sharp eyesight are often similar. The women of Sauti watched over both of them with a glittering face.

"Well, let's come. I'm very excited to see what feast dishes are ready."

We decided to line up and head to the nearby cabin.

On that road, I greet the Ladies of Rats, who were working on 'Giva's Round Grill', both of which are young Giva, 50 kilometres in size, burned on two scaffolds. It's bigger than anything we've dealt with in the stalls, but with this much time, we'll be able to finish it fine.

That's how I go around the cabin, and the fragrance of spices is vibrant. In the hands of the women of the meme, "Gibba Curry" was made.

"... this house, especially the handiwork, sounds good"

Pratica sneaked up on me, so I whispered, "That's right," too.

"Among the five families today, Meme's house has been associated with Fa's house for the longest time. I guess that's the difference."

Because Meme's house was a family of Rats, he had been handled by Fa's house ahead of Ravitz and Sung. Only one of them was regularly available to help with the stall business, but the other women were also actively visiting Fa's house when the luggage car was vacant.

Also with regard to the techniques of blood drainage and demolition, I had mastered them when the disturbances surrounding the Count Turan family converged, so I had many copper coins in my hands by selling raw meat to the houses of Fa and Luu. I was able to buy different ingredients, so I learned to cook quickly, starting with "Gibba Curry".

"'Giva Curry', it's an elusive dish. Asta, I don't care if you're not there, I can make it up, amazing, I think."

"Really? Well, I guess this is a boon to the people by the woods mastering reading and writing. I don't think it's hard to reproduce if you can figure out the amount of vanilla."

After a while, we decided to head to the cabin next time.

Even here, the smell of vanilla is strong. As he walked forward, Raina-Lou was clearly squeezing his expression.

"Excuse me. I'll give you another tour."

It was the second kamadu hut assigned to the house of Naham.

It is the women of Naham's division, and the women of Sung who help it, and the partitioner, Malfira-Naham, who are gathered together. The home of Marfila-Naham, the commander-in-chief of the Ravitz bloodline, was this place.

"Ah, duh, duh, thank you. Asta, Ai-Fa, Raina-Lu, Pratica, and then, uh..."

"Don't worry about us. There won't be that much time left until the power comparison starts again."

"And, also, I'm sorry. of, let me just say hello properly."

Malfira-Naham bowed his head warmly before beginning to send instructions to the surrounding women. Among them is also the Kulua-Sung. She must have been assigned to help on this occasion because she would be the number of fingers in the Sung family.

"... you seem to have more variety of vanilla to handle than when you wanted to before Jomtien. I'm really excited to see what kind of dish you can finish."

With the look of seriousness itself, Raina-Lou crushed it that way.

For whatever reason, it was the original dish devised by Malfira-Naham that is being made on this occasion.

Ravitz's blood family is responsible for a total of five dishes. Four of them were dishes that I freed up, and they were often featured in study groups, but only the last one was usually selected for dishes made at Naham's house.

However, this one uses so many herbs that the "Giva Curry" is unbeatable that the cost of ingredients is also considerable. Therefore, even at Naham's house, it is decided that only at the top of the 10th will it be made at dinner.

What the hell kind of Giva dish was devised by Marfila-Naham, who has such a keen tongue to be noticed by Vulcus? That didn't have to be Raina-Lou, I was just curious.

"... I see. She was the lady named Malfira-Naham, wasn't she? I think I said hello at a feast somewhere, but my face and name finally match."

And, Sphilla-Zaza also calls in a whisper.

"Her name has been heard many times by Tour-Din as well. I guess it's your turn to be so talented."

"Right. It should only be a little over six months since she started helping with the stall business... but in the sense of her talent as Kamadoku's number, it made me feel like I jumped through it from the start"

Malfira-Naham not only had a keen taste, he also excelled in the strength of his arms and the dexterity of his hands. Moreover, he has shown extraordinary talent in reading, writing, and calculating letters, which should have been useful for his work as well.

And most importantly, she also had a passion for cooking.

On the day she first met Malfira-Naham, she was in tears, tasting the food from the stall I had served. With all that enthusiasm, I guess she was able to blossom her various talents.

"I'm also very excited to see what dishes she has devised. Expect Sphilla-Zaza, too."

"Yes, after the feast we are supposed to help reveal the night at Din's house, so I want to encourage Tour-Din to communicate his thoughts firmly"

This is what Sufila-Zaza looks like and has a deep love for Tour-Din.

"Right," I laughed, feeling warm.

"And I'm also in charge of confectionery at Meme's house. I'm looking forward to that, too."

"Is it a treat," said Sphyla-Zaza, whose eyes nearly glowed, coughing in a panic.

"… then let us also report to Tour-Din on how well it has done. I find it interesting, even for me, how many sweets are made in Meme's house, which is difficult to say the proximity of Fa's house"

Then Pratica, who was wholeheartedly observing the handiwork of the Malfila-Nahams, looked back at the Sphilla-Zaza with agitation.

"Sphilla-Zaza, sweet confectionery, do you like it?

"Hey, what is it? It is Asta's claim that delicious dishes, not just sweets, will give great power and joy to the people by the woods."

"No. Sphilla-Zaza, I just thought you liked sweets, because I voiced and bounced on the lid. Shame on you, if you remember, I apologize."

"Beh, nothing, I am not ashamed of anything!

Sphyla-Zaza, who also has a straightforward side, had turned your face red. Pratica praises as if to show a deep understanding.

It was like that that all the moments of rest went by in a hurry.
