932 North Settlement Harvest Festival ④ - North Learning

The next force comparison is load carrying.

It's quite a tough competition to put toddlers and ladies on top of a pull plate and compare what distance they're running 100 meters while pulling it.

As the competition unfolded, we got another new surprise.

When the competition began, there was a deafening outcry from some people.

What the hell are you screaming about? Tomorrow, my ear says, "Moore, Moore!" I heard it.

I guess it's a peculiar lesson by the woods, because I also had an eye-fa face. As you can imagine, it all seemed to be the inhabitants of the northern settlements that were making that hanging noise.

"... this hanging voice, Gerd, is similar"

And Alvach, half-eyed with blue eyes, said so.

"It is also not only Gerd, but Sims, Common, and Hanging. Moribe, why, is it conveyed?

"Hmm. Are you still speaking up when comparing forces?

"Uhm. Every competition, used. Origin, tototos, early run. Moore, is the eastern word, meaning, 'disease walking', or 'fast'"

To that word, Ai-Fa was to round his eyes.

"Not Moore, is it Moore? By the woods, it's an old saying," The Arrow of Disease "is called Dulmore."

"Sim, it's a 'disease arrow', it's a duru mooad"

"... oh. When you put the two words side by side in Sims, you were talking about putting the word" d "at the end. I remember hearing that from the daughter of a traveler"

They told me, and I remembered too. Pinot revealed such miscellaneous information to me when I interrupted the tent of "A Seat of Gamrays" on Easter.

"The word of d, omitted, is an ancient language. After all, Sims, ancient cultures, woodlands, are they passed on?

"Hmm. Such heirlooms also exist"

Be careful, Ai-Fa did not try to speak much. The fact that the people of the clouds are the roots of the people by the woods was only a hypothesis based on the inheritance of Ogawa - in that inheritance, the people of the clouds abandoned Sims to avoid strife with the people of the mountains, supposedly. Fermes, watching the power comparison right next to me, was also holding his mouth with a slow smile.

"I see. People by the woods, Sim's blood, if it's flowing, I'd be proud."

All that said, Alvach turned to the square where the competition was taking place.

Let the cheers of "Moore!" push you back, the hunters are running through the ground. This, after all, seemed to have a share in the northern clan with large hunters.

At any rate, the weight carried is uniform at about 70 kilograms. Then it would be in the interest of a human being who is weak in muscle strength. All this competition did not lead to a definite outcome, either.

By the end of the first round, the hunters of Dana and Havilla have almost lost as well. Also, just as Lem-Dom could hardly win this competition.

"This power comparison is delightful! It's something that even the Lew bloodline wants you to take in!

Unbeatable shouts of surrounding cheer, Dan-Rutim said so. If you are Dan-Rutim, who has handsome feet that do not suit a giant, you are likely to win the seat of a brave man in this competition.

That's how it was played, the semi-finals - that winning here will determine the brave or brave seat.

In the first group, Gene's parents were left to win and Dick-Dom was to lose.

In the next set, Graf-Zaza was to prevail and Diga and Georg-Zaza were to be defeated.

In the last group, Dom's head of the division won, and the young men, the family of Dodd and Zaza's main house, were to be defeated.

Thus it is the final match by the clan of the north.

Dom's head of the division will be huge enough to approach Dick-Dom. And Gene's parents were just as tall as I was, but they were in a very wide wall shape.

As a result, it was Gene's parents who won.

Is the low center of gravity any advantage? Gene's parents, who bend their thick bodies and run like crawling through the ground, were as powerful as spider monsters or something, and did not lean on the Graf-Zazas at all.

Congratulate Gene's parents, whose drums have been slammed again and made brave.

After all, the head of the main house seemed to have extraordinary powers.

"Excellent. Totos' early run, is no less exciting"

Alvach, Nanaquem and Pratica also looked satisfied.

After all, Zwei-Rutim is getting a lot worse. Once again, the Diggas have lost where they are spared, so I guess they are sinking. But given that they were apprenticeships, they were supposed to be in the category of the Great Good Fight.

The next competition will be tree climbing.

This would, after all, be a competition in favour of light-hearted people.

Still, the hunters of the north seemed to have an unusual power, and as far as the first round was concerned, the five families were engaged in equally heated battles.

In the meantime, the apprentice hunters were to show further good luck.

Three Lem-Dom, Digga, and Dodd let him win another round.

Can we call this a feat already? Even though there are several other apprentice hunters, only three of them have been able to win the first round in the previous three events.

(Well, I guess all the other apprentice hunters are under fifteen, so Digga and Dodd are wandering in their physique... sixteen or so. The women's Rem-Dom winning out is a feat, isn't it?)

Moreover, she is given the throne of a warrior in comparison to the power of the target.

Although he had a harsh look on his face, I watched Rem-Dom work with a satisfying look on his face.

That is how the second round in the semifinals took place - here, the hunters of Dana and Havilla were to show their will.

First, in the first game, Dana's parents were to bring down Dick-Dom.

Is Dick-Dom, who once hurt his right fist, still not a full force? The face of the northern clan watched Dick-Dom defeat in a somewhat surprising manner.

And in the second game, Havilla's parents had beaten Graf-Zaza and Georg-Zaza and Gene's parents together.

But this seems to have been how good the head of Havilla was, and the face of the northern clan was groaning with admiration.

And in the third game - a fate prank, Lem-Dom, Diga and Dodd were all in the same group. It is a battle with Havilla's eldest brother, who became a brave man in comparison to the power of the target.

(Isn't this something you can expect?

Of course, these battles are not determined by chance. However, if up to three of the four were close, I was also inspired by expectations without denying.

The contents of the battle are the great battle. In the first battle, everyone was considered to be in agreement.

"If we don't settle for the next match, we'll have Dana and Havilla's parents plus six to compete with!

Based on the reflections of our harvest festival, Graf-Zaza made the declaration as such. If you play too much rematch, it's because you drain your health and get in the way of your next fight.

Also on this occasion, "Moore!" The cry is called out. Only then had Havilla and Dana and the people of Din and Lid also followed and started to give the same hanging voice.

In the meantime, four challenged another battle - two were seen as winners of the match.

"All right! Let's make it a victory for Havilla's eldest brother and Dom's family, Dodd! The two of you, get out of here!

Rem-dom looked up to heaven and breathed, and Diga was treading on the ground with regret.

And Zwei-Rutim, how long has he been stuck in his mother's arms? The frown was hissed at once, and the black eyed triple white eyes looked at Dodd's back to eat in.

Dana's parents and Havilla's parents also advance, and four of them face the tree.

Though there seemed to be no disadvantage, the northern hunter, who had quickly advanced to the final, became one of the apprentice dodds. Yet only the top three will be given the throne of the brave and the brave.

"Begin!"

Graph-Zaza's decree is covered with the sound of a drum.

At the same time, the four hunters jumped on trees.

The tree has branches, so its appearance is quickly hidden.

Who shows up first by touching a mark wrapped around a height of about ten meters - people say, "Moore!" I waited for the moment, raising my voice.

made a loud noise of stirrups, and one hunter pops out of the trees about.

He is Dana's parent.

But without delay for two seconds, Havilla's parents also jumped out of the tree next door.

Trying to follow it, Dodd and Havilla's eldest brother also jumped off the tree.

Four go for the ground like bullets. Among them, only Havilla's parents had the momentum to jump through. Probably kicked the trunk of a tree with stronger force than the other three.

The first to land on the ground was still the head of Havilla.

I don't see the difference between the remaining three. It seemed to me that Dana's parents, who jumped the earliest, were second - but I wasn't very sure.

"The brave man shall be the head of the Havilla!

Graph-Zaza, the referee, declared in a heavy voice.

"The second would be Dana's parents, and the third would be - Dom's family Dodd?

Five hunters, who were tumbling across the tree, enter. These are the hunters who were serving as deputy judges, starting with Dick-Dom.

"I have no objection to the glamour of Graph-Zaza"

When Dick-Dom said it, the other four agreed.

Graph-Zaza nods, "Uhm".

"Then the brave man shall be Dana's parent and Dom's family Dodd!

A moment late, the cheer exploded.

I looked back at Zwei-Rutim with my hands banging.

Zwei-Rutim is pompous, keeping it in Oura-Rutim's arms. In those eyes, a twitch and tears were eventually brought to my eyes.

"That's amazing. Dodd and Digga have done so much."

Saying in a gentle voice, Oura-Rutim strokes Zwei-Rutim's head.

"Yeah......" he blurred, then Zwei-Rutim plucked his eyes in a hurry.

After sneaking up on me like that, I turn back to Ai-Fa.

"You did it. You're not a brave man, you're a brave man, but this would still be amazing enough, wouldn't it?

"Naturally. Of all the hunters, we climbed to third."

Ai-Fa also had the look of a smile on her face.

There again, Graph-Zaza's voice echoes.

"Now, before the next battle, which little pause are you on for a moment! The women want to prepare snacks!

Again, the steps around here were the same as our harvest festival.

However, since the start time of the power comparison was only a moment earlier, it would now still be about one and a half moments downstairs. The first harvest festival by the five families meant that we were to start loosely.

5 And the men and the guests of the family sat down upon the rugs and the marutai, and the women rushed to the hut. Prepare snacks and start cooking feast dishes.

The nobles had been invited under Graf-Zaza, so we were supposed to share our seats with Rutim's face.

"Hey, that was all a great battle! Again, this is something that even Luu's blood wants to compare the five powers!

Dan-Rutim is in a good mood, as he is also drinking.

Instead, however, Dim-Rutim was faced with extreme hardship.

"I didn't expect Rem-Dom or Dodd, who are still apprentices, to win that far. I want to train like that."

"Uhm! You're clever and light, so you can get results from targeting and climbing trees!

Laughing out loud, Dan-Rutim banged Dim-Rutim on the back.

"But when it comes to targeting, Rudd-Lou and Zida have quite a few arms, and if it's a tree climb, I won't lose either! I'm going to train you!

"Yes," nodded Dim-Rutim, whose fighting flames seemed to be flaming.

There, the ladies with the basins approaching. Apparently, the daytime snack consisted of sautéed meat and vegetables made with miso in a poiton.

I guess this is also the recipe given by Tour-Din. It has a simple but powerful flavour, with flavours of Myrmu and Kerr roots. It seemed like a powerful contribution.

"Hmm. The ingredients that I could buy from Gerd don't seem to be used."

That's what Dan-Rutim said when he quickly filled up his chunky snacks.

I was still in the middle of eating, swallowing the contents of my mouth, and then I say yes.

"We haven't dealt with Gerd's ingredients in the northern settlements yet. They only use Gerd's ingredients for confectionery, even at banquets."

"I see! Well, with all this deliciousness, you're not complaining!

Dan-Rutim was always full of energy, but all the squares today were so busy that they couldn't beat it. The men of the seven families headed by Zaza, the guests invited by the castle town and the guests from Rutim, many of whom speak thoughtfully, lighting their cheeks with enthusiasm.

(Seems like you guys are doing great together for the first time)

I had that sentiment as I saw the noisy people in the central rug.

Perhaps George-Zaza, who interacts deeply with the nobility, and the people of Din and Lid, are the lubricants. How comforting it was that the people of the outside world would be so promptly accepted, even in closed and known northern settlements.

(Plus, it's huge that we can share the excitement of these events. Even the folks by the woods were watching martial arts clubs and early Totos runs games...... I guess that kind of pile of stuff deepens the bond)

Then, Dan-Rutim's huge face suddenly stuck out on my nose tip.

"What's going on, it's Asta? You look like your first grandson."

"Yeah? Were you looking like that? … I was just passionate about the welcome of nobles in the northern settlements."

"Hmm. But you and I are in the same guest position, aren't we?

"Then it's okay. I'm enjoying the occasion, just like you."

When I answered that way, Dan-Rutim smiled hazy.

"Then it's fine! The fun is still to come!

Dan-Lutim's big palm now slaps me in the back a lot.

My abalone shrugged unreliably, but even such pain seemed to take in the heat of the harvest festival.

"Ey-fa, asta, excuse me. Cooking, touring, what do you think?

After a while, Pratica came to us.

Followers there are Merrim and Nicolas, Odifia and Zei-Din. From that, Merrim grinned and smiled.

"Let us accompany you, if you will. I'll be careful not to disturb you."

"Yeah, sure. Now, let's join you."

I guess the princes in position are busy talking to the Zaza bloodline. Gazran-Rutim and Dan-Rutim were going to storm that way, so only me and Ai-Fa were going to accompany this sleek group.

"The diplomat, Lord Fermes, had prepared the kiln roasting of Poitan with mallows and cheese. I'm sorry to hear you can't eat such delicious Giva meat."

Merrim overlaps his words as he steps toward Kamado's cabin. I guess it's not sarcasm or disgust because it was a really sad look. She seemed older than me, but she is a very unyielding and adorable lady.

"And the Gerd people -- compared to the power of the hunter -- were very fond of you."

And now I laugh like a toddler. It was also her great charm that the expression shifted from time to time.

"I asked Lord Fermes for an interpreter because he said he couldn't convey his feelings in the west. But even when you ate food from the woods, Lord Alvach asked for an interpreter, didn't he?

"Yes. As far as I'm concerned, I'm honored.... but were the Graf-Zazas okay?

"Yeah. You looked a lot surprised... but I don't think you were offended."

Then, fortunately. I just wanted to take a look at what that Graf-Zaza looks like and listens to Alvach's long and wide tongue.

That's how Zei-Din and Odifia walk silently while we talk. Somewhere, even though the thread of the conversation seemed troubled without grasping - but in keeping with the young Odifia's pace, that figure of Zei-Din walking slowly did not seem smiling.

"Also, sorry! I'll show you from here!

And there was someone rushing in from the rear. He also acted as a guide in the morning, it's that boy.

Probably found it inappropriate to let guests wander around the settlement alone, and Graf-Zaza sent them. With the eight boys we had, we headed to Tul-din's working cabin first.

Headquartered by Tour-Din, the partitioner, becomes a hut where the women of Gene have been gathered. And now, 'Giva Bone Ramen' was made at that location.

As we approach Kamado Hut, there is an intense scent of stewing Gibba bones. Noticed it, Odifia let her tiny nose snap and then shook up the straw Zei-din.

"Are you hungry?"

"Mm-hmm. Even at our harvest festival, the tobacco mens were served.... It was a story that some people in town don't like this scent, but would Odifia be okay?

"Yeah. Tobacco and lamen, daisy"

When Odifia answered that way, Zei-Din smiled gently, "Well." Look at that face, Odifia makes her grey eyes shine. While still leaving some clutter, at this rate, it seemed like I could fill a blank period of about two months immediately.

"Was this the scent of stewing Giva's bones? It does seem like a unique fragrance."

Merrim spoke that way here, so I decided to respond.

"Giva bone galas are more flavorful than kimus and carons, aren't they? But for that matter, I think it can be made into a powerful dish. Look forward to the evening to see what dishes this turns into."

"Yeah, I'm so excited.... Is Nicola already talking about that dish?

"No. They say it is positioned as a special dish handled exclusively at feasts because it takes a long time to take stock from Giva's bones"

Nicolas had a tenacious face and answered as such.

And his eyes glimpse Pratica.

"... Lady Pratica has already been spoken of that dish at a previous feast, right?

"Yes. Taste, it was exceptional. Street stalls, ramen for sale, separate."

If it's Kimmus bone ramen sold in stalls, Nicolas has spoken of it again and again.

Nicola overlapped the words further as she faced a lot of dissatisfaction.

"It's only natural that feast dishes are more lavish than regular suppers. I sincerely envy Lady Pratica, who was twice allowed to attend the feast by the woods."

"Yes. It's a difficult experience.... Nicolas, are you angry?

"There is no such thing as anger. I'm just saying I envy you."

Then Merrim lowered his mouth, "Oh," he said.

"Looks like Nicola got a lot deeper ties with Platica. You don't spill so much if you don't open your mind."

"No, I..." Nicolas mumbled.

To its appearance, Pratica is inclined to her little neck.

"Nicolas, if you've been bonded, deepened, I'm happy, I think. Is that the truth?

"I don't know. More than that, shouldn't we start touring the cooking?

So we interrupted the cabin.

The doorboard was open, so the guide boy asked permission before entering the room. In the hot air that emitted an intense aroma, Tour-Din was still encouraging to noodle.

"Oh, you wanted it. Please take your time."

Tul-din smiles happily, acknowledging the line-up of Odifia and her father. Odifia looking back at it was, of course, sparkling her grey eyes.

In addition to Tour-Din, ten women work: eight are Gene and two are Lid women. Everyone seemed busy taking ash juice from bone gala stock, simmering giva chashu, and noodling along with Tool-din.

Gene and I will be a family divided from Zaza decades ago. Therefore, the appearance and air conditioning are not very different from Zaza. Wrap around the fur breasts and bands, and everyone seems honest. And after all, there weren't many older people.

"By the woods, this is how you cook. It kind of makes my chest squeal."

smiling, Merrim said so.

Then the women of Gene, who were cutting the noodles apart, stop and look back at you.

"... you're from a house that also originates in Castle Town, aren't you? Will there be any resistance to such humans eating by the woods?

"Resistance? Why?

"We want to crush what's going on in the castle town from Zaza's family. In Castle Town, do you even bother to clean yourself up before cooking? Isn't the learning too different from the woodland?

Somewhere, it's a tone of questioning.

But Merrim didn't look cowardly, "hmm," she let her gaze wander adorably.

"Right...... the learning, I guess, is a lot different. However, I am not comfortable with hard manipulation, so I am able to spend a lot of time in peace around the woods."

"Are you not comfortable with hard manipulation? Does nobility weigh heavily on manipulation?

"Yes. I used to be scolded all the time to wear more of your ladylike sagging"

That being said, Merrim gave a small peek at his tongue.

In old words, it is a very charming trick.

"So maybe it's not really a common example of nobility. I've always been envious of my partner, who was invited to the woods."

…………

"Besides, every time people on the forest side are invited to Castle Town, they are forced to learn different things, aren't they? They were made to purify themselves before cooking and feasting, wrapped around cramped banquet costumes… Still, the folks by the woods were accepting the mastery of the castle town without raising a voice of condemnation. Then we would like to follow the Forestside lesson, too."

After a while of reflection, Gene's ladies snapped, "Really?"

"I seem to have uttered unwanted words. Please forget about the words."

"No. I don't think that's a word you'll ever need. Why don't you tell us more and let us deepen our bonds with the folks by the woods?

When Merrim smiled, the women of Gene, who had a harsh look on their face, also finally broke up with each other.

"Now that I'm at work, I can't help but relax and talk.... at the evening feast, can you speak again?

"Yes, I look forward to that time"

Apparently, not only the lords, but also the bridges of your friendship were passed between the women.

Many people in the northern settlements know nobility only in the wind. And before that, the bad news of Cycleus must have spread. It should have been fortunate for everyone that this innocent merim had been added to the nobility we see for the first time.
