935 Harvest Festival in Northern Settlements (7) - AC

About half an hour had already passed since the feast began, but of course the feast was still on its way to Takeshi.

In the square, many people hiss and are intoxicated by the fervour of the feast. The calories had not lost any of the clan's harvest festivals.

(Well, it's the harvest festival of Zaza's blood known for its bravery. vibrant and natural)

Because many of the women are engaged in work, the approximate number of people crossing the square are men, young children or guests.

The difference with the rest of the family would be that all of the hunters are wrapped around the hunter's clothes. Though it had been declared free with regard to guests without blood, if that was the northern settlement's lesson, the people of Ai-Fa and Rutim were also wearing the hunter's clothes.

And yet, with regard to the women, the people, with the exception of Rutim's family, wore banquet costumes.

Originally, feast costumes were brought up by the woods only for wedding feasts. But Graf-Zaza, the chief, hopes that the blood clan's fringe will deepen, so he probably decided to embrace a new lesson in wrapping up feast costumes at the harvest festival as well. This is a valuable opportunity to deepen ties with the distant dins and lids of the house, as well as with Havilla and Dana.

"Huh. I wonder if there will be another new wedding promise this evening. Even so, it won't be until after the rainy season."

Lem-Dom, who fits that way, wraps around the clothes of an apprentice hunter, with a medal of brave grass knitting on his chest. Originally Lem-Dom, with a length of nearly 180 cm, its refreshing appearance was no less than that of Ai-Fa.

"Speaking of which, are Dick-Dom and Morn-Rutim better off with no progress?

When I sneaked up on him, Rem-Dom laughed sarcastically, "Come on?" He shrugged his shoulders.

"I wear a dick every time I do too, but it's a strain of 'think it through'. I'm talking about revealing what you're thinking."

"Yeah, well, Lem-Dom is Dick-Dom's sister, so I guess you have a right to say that too,"

But I am an outsider who is neither pushed nor pushed. Of course, they are thoughtful of each name, but they are not allowed to speak out about the wedding unless they are of blood.

(It was such a good mood when you and I were walking through Inn Town during Easter. If Dick-Dom says he's thinking right, maybe he doesn't have to worry about anything...... hmm, what do you think)

While I was thinking like that, I arrived at the first Kamado.

It is Sphilla-Zaza who is taking the spot. The contents of the iron pot were stewed dishes of tarapa that we had not yet spoken of.

"Good day, Sphilla-Zaza. Guess I'm not done with the job yet?

"Yes, my work will not be finished until the dishes in this pan are finished"

Sufila-Zaza smiled softly, but when she noticed me and Ai-Fa, she hurried to tighten her expression.

"... there were some fa's. What about this dish?

"Yes, I'd appreciate it if you could"

Sphilla-Zaza and I once had a ball at the Count Dalaim's house together. but this is the first time I have seen him wrapped around a feast costume by the woods. Sphilla-Zaza, wearing a bug-colored veil and loosening her long hair, was beautiful without a hanging.

However, is it still a qualitative outfit compared to Luu's lineage? Although it shines expensive ornaments on the stronghold, it accounts for a greater proportion of flower and nut ornaments than it does. In one way or another, it seemed to be an outfit close to the smaller clan.

As a matter of fact, the northern settlements did not seem to be so rich in life until recent years.

It didn't even seem to starve, but he said that high-value medications and the like were hard to buy and had lost numerous families due to injuries and illnesses in hunting jobs. It was therefore a story of the small number of older people, both men and women.

The reason is simple and lucid, he specializes in slashing and laying down Gibba directly from the front, and he said that in the proud northern settlement, very little important fur was sold.

Giva fur can be sold for about the same price as the sum of horns and fangs. If the fur could not be sold, the copper coin in hand would also be reduced to half.

(But now, you can sell meat even if you can't sell fur - and thanks to the hounds, you should be able to capture Giva without hurting her.)

The northern settlements were responsible for preparing intestinal meat and bacon to be sold to the castle town, from the blue moon to the silver moon. Since we've been talking about buying out two tototosses and two luggage cars lately, I'm guessing we've bought more expensive drugs and stuff before that, of course.

He also shares the opinion that the convenience of hounds is well within reach and that more hounds should be bought up. At the same time, we're admonishing ourselves not to rely solely on hounds for training - and that's how I heard it.

(The hunters of the northern settlements should have great power at the moment as well, but I guess that will be put on even more in the future)

Thinking like that, I mouthed a stewed Tarapa dish.

This also seemed to be the cooking of the organ. It is moderately spicy, and the flavors of tarapa are harnessed to a great extent.

"Oh, that's a relieving taste"

When I judged it that way, Sphyla-Zaza frowned like a scratch.

"We use chit fruit for this dish. Is Asta relieved of spicy dishes?

"No, I don't know... I thought it would be great to have feet on the ground. I think Zaza's personality is well represented."

Still, when Sphilla-Zaza looked difficult, Rem-Dom, who was eating the same dish, laughed, "Right."

"It was a long time ago, wasn't it, Tul-din? Cooking like that kind of calms down the flavor, doesn't it? I wonder if that's all the training you've been trained for."

"Oh. Speaking of which, when Tour-Din was first entrusted with the partitioning of feast dishes in the northern settlement, you were handling stewed Tarapa dishes. Is this the result of more than a year of training?"

To my words, Sphyla-Zaza deepened the frown wrinkles more and more.

"… how do you know what Asta is doing with the dishes that Tour-Din handled?

"At the time, Tour-Din asked me to taste it. He must have been the first partitioner, and Tour-Din must have been anxious."

"I see," Sphilla-Zaza says, turning his mouth into a letter to.

Seeing that face, Rem-Dom laughed again.

"What. Wouldn't it bother you that Asta was bonding with Tour-Din before you? It's the only way. Din's house was close to Fa's house."

"Beh, not that I don't really care... but as a parent..."

And, while Sphyla-Zaza blushed Lem-Dom a lot more red in the face. Somewhere, it doesn't even look like a sweet trick.

So I remembered that the previous Sphilla-Zaza had so enthusiastically hit his favor with Lem-Dom. Both are family members of the main house and are close in age, so there must be something called a definite bond that has been spinning since childhood.

(Speaking of which, I hope there's such a tide that Sphilla-Zaza will have a wedding with Dick-Dom and Georg-Zaza with Rem-Dom)

With that in mind, we set out to be next.

but on that road, ai-fa and rem-dom stop at the same time. The two eyes were directed at the dim outside of the square.

"You seem to be making some noise. If a non-blood guest is involved, should I arbitrate?"

Lem-Dom returned the blemishes, so me and I-Fa decided to go after it.

The outer perimeter of the square is lit by the way. The group seemed to make some noise in the dim spot, which was also a distance from the burning fire.

"You, come on, yo! If you're twitching with a big figure, you're extra clumsy, so sa!

A familiar kick-ass voice is delivered to my ear, too.

On the spot, there were four people formerly in Sung's main house.

"What the hell are you fussing about? … well, I have an approximate idea."

As Lem-Dom raised his ironic voice, Oura-Rutim and Dodd, who were turning their backs on this one, looked back. Zwei-Rutim remains immovable and looks like Digga sitting at his feet.

"See, it annoys everyone else, doesn't it? Leave me alone."

When Diga raised her faint voice, Zwei-Rutim made her little shoulder so angry.

"If you do, you don't have to make a scene, yo! Come on, or I'll kick your ass real bad!

"Just calm down, Zwei-Rutim. You're Rutim's guest, and Digga is Dom's family. If we make a lot of noise, we're gonna be in trouble, okay?

Rem-dom wasn't even serious for once, but Oura-Rutim was looking sorry to bow his head.

"Besides the important feast, I'm sorry. Please forgive me, I never intend to cause you any trouble."

"Huh. In the meantime, would you like me to explain what's going on?

Rem-dom looked around at everyone's face on the spot before finally fixing his gaze under Dodd.

Dodd, no less quiet than Digga, begins to talk casually.

"We were just trying to get Diga back into the square. But because Diga doesn't want to move, Zwei-Rutim has a seizure..."

"I don't think I'm in the mood to make a scene in the square right now. Don't worry about me, everyone will enjoy the banquet."

It was kind of like Diga had gone back to him before he settled with Cycleus. It's even resurrected to a weirdly prolonged tone.

"Ha-ha," Rem-dom snorted as he put his hand on his tight hips.

"Damn, that's pathetic. Only me and Dodd became brave, so you were messing with me, weren't you? Then it's only natural for Zwei-Rutim to have a seizure."

"That's right... I'm a pathetic man..."

And Diga happened to moisten her eyes.

"I knew I wasn't strong enough... I guess Dodd and Rem-Dom will be recognized as hunters in one serving... I'm sure I'll give my soul back as an apprentice..."

"What are you talking about? If it was a stick pull or a fight, you'd be stronger than us. If losing to the brave George-Zaza would be a disgrace, then even Gene's parents would be disgraced, right?

"But I'm older than Dodd than Lem-Dom, and I couldn't leave any consequences..."

"No treatment. Dick or Graf-Zaza, but maybe we should bring him in and have him kick his ass."

Then Ai-Fa, who was silently eager to see what was going on, advanced all the way.

When Oura-Rutim attracts Zwei-Rutim, he breaks his knee into the empty space with it. Diga tried to turn a blind eye, but Ai-Fa did not allow it.

"Look here, Digga.... What are you ashamed of while you show so much power? It must be a foolish act to compare the power of the holy hunter."

"Well, let's not... I just feel sorry for myself..."

"No, if you despise yourself, it will be an act of contempt for the hunters who defeated you. At least you were victorious once, in comparison to all your powers?

The voice of Ai-Fa was serious in itself.

Diga is staring back at Ai-Fa like a puppy, in tears.

"If you're a Dana or Havilla apprentice hunter, some humans couldn't even give you a single victory compared to all the powers. You mean they're more pathetic than you are?

"Yeah, but they're not even fifteen yet, are they? I can't believe I'm 21 years old..."

"That's nothing but because you've been walking the wrong raw. Is that the sin you must redeem?

In a strong tone, Ai-Fa put her face much closer.

"It's only natural that you feel sorry for yourself. At that age, you're still an apprentice hunter. Therefore, overcoming that suffering will be your redemption. Are you going to give your soul back to Mother Forest without redeeming your sins?

"But... I don't know..."

"Accept the pain. After accepting it, strain your chest."

Ey-fa said that in a steely voice.

However, as I turned to the two sides, I could see that there was something very warm around in Ai-Fa's harsh eyes.

"As a 21-year-old hunter, you will still be immature. But as an apprentice hunter who has been in the woods for less than two years, he has extremely strong powers. Take that fact right."

"Yes," Lem-Dom also raised his voice.

"What a chunk of genius you are when you see it from me or Dodd. It's hard to believe you want to cry like that while you play all that battle with George-Zaza in comparison to the power of combat. Isn't that right, Dodd?

"Oh, I'll touch you, but the first of us to give you a hunter's testimony is probably Digga."

Dodd had a crying smile on his face and leaned over to Diga.

"Me and Rem-Dom were desperate to catch up with Digga. That's why I was able to get all that results from targeting and climbing trees.... fight, pull bars, carry loads. Then there's no chance you can beat Digga."

Diga wet her eyes in tears and looked back at the dod on the flesh.

Dodd sneezes in the face and slaps Digga on the back.

"Can't you see that if you don't tell me? Totally unreliable.... hold on, brother."

Diga wept deeply, pounding on the ground.

After staring at that figure for a while, Ai-Fa stands up largely.

"Now, excuse us. My stomach's still in the sixth minute."

"Ah, i-fa...... thank you very much"

Oura-Rutim drowned his head deep again.

Zwei-Rutim, taken in his arms, puts his mouth to rest as he looks at Ai-Fa. If I hadn't seen it wrong, those lips seemed to have moved into a "thank you" shape.

Returning to the bustling square that way, Lem-Dom follows him on a small run. In return for that appearance, Ai-Fa tilted her neck.

"Don't you want to stay there?

"For I have stayed, it will only stand in the way. I'll leave the rest to the Dodds."

That being said, Lem-Dom spilled more white teeth.

"My family took care of you. I'll thank you very much later."

"That's unwanted care. It doesn't matter if it's about family or family, to guide your compatriots correctly."

Saying it that way, I-Fa has been screwing me.

"What? You look like you said something too."

"Hey, I thought I was a fan."

At an unstoppable speed to my eyes, Ai-Fa pulled my head off.

Finally, the Kamado Patrol resumes.

There is a lot of crowd at the end of the day. As I approached you, I saw Eurifia and Odifia in the center of the wheel.

"Oh, were you two here? So that's a confectionery revelation, right?

"Yeah, they're just starting to distribute it."

There was not a simple table set up there, but a round too. Arranged there are steamed buns of watches and amantha handled by Tour-Din himself.

At the dinner party, which welcomed the southern mission, a large fuku cake wrapped in watches and Amantha fillings was served. This was a steamed bun, wrapped in a blend of fuwano and poitan fabric with the same filling.

Because the fruit juice is also refined in the dough, the watches have a lighter pearl color and Amantha a lighter blue-purple color. The size was such that it was ping-pong balls, and the steamed and finished items were served cold at room temperature.

"You just have different dough and it changes the taste so much. You'll be satisfied, too, Odifia?

"Yeah," Odifia nodded, holding the prickly bun with both hands looking important, sparkling her grey eyes.

The people around us are watching warmly over such an odifia. In the past half-day or so, I guess I've had enough of a look at how much bond there is between Tour-Din and Odifia. People of Zaza blood, both men and women of all ages, seemed to acknowledge that Odifia was a dear friend of Thur-din.

Only George-Zaza and Zei-Din, by the way, are the faces I have seen in it. Tour-Din, who arranged the wooden box of sweets on the table, was of course a blissful expression, but he did not see Odifia's father.

"Um, wasn't Mel Fried with you?

"Yes, because you won't be able to throw out Gerd's nobles and Wang Capital diplomats. We should be touring the square together by now."

Then you must also listen to Alvach's long and wide tongues. Although I had my own unfathomable fondness for Alvach, that seemed to me to be a rather tiresome role.

"Were you with Rem-Dom? Are you enjoying our feast?

As Georg-Zaza inquired cheerfully, Ai-Fa nodded "um" with a stern face.

"I guess the power of the clan is also reflected in the feast. I feel so powerful and comfortable that I can't beat the feast of Lou"

"Well, do you like it"

"Mm-hmm. I've always preferred the perseverance of Zaza's blood clan.... you must have been neglecting me for being a hunter with the women."

"Until Lem-Dom's case was cleared up, I guess it was. Not many people thought that way that Lem-Dom was distracted by Fa's parents' trampling of the woodland lesson."

and Georg-Zaza shrugged his shoulders casually.

"But because Dick-Dom was acknowledging your power early, I'm gradually deafening from hearing that, too. Was there anyone here today who neglected you?

"No. Surprisingly, I think everyone welcomed me warmly"

"Huh. Then again, enjoy the aftermath."

"Afternoon?" Ai-Fa tilted his little nipple, but Georg-Zaza threw Amantha's bun into his mouth without answering.

By the hand of Tour-Din, Amantha and Watch roll cakes are also arranged on the table. We also stuck one of our favorite treats out of it, and then we went for the next one.

On that road, Ai-Fa looks back at Lem-Dom all the time.

"Lem-Dom, what is pastime? Is it also based on ancient learning?

"Come on, I don't know. Well, if you leave it alone, you'll be able to get started soon."

Laughing like a prank kid, Lem-Dom didn't even try to answer.

Upon arrival at the next Kama, it was the Morn-Rutim and Dom women who worked there. On the spot moreover, there was quite a bunch of facial rashes called Gazran-Rutim in Dan-Rutim in Graf-Zaza.

"Oh, to Asta, Ai-Fa! Apparently, he was circling Kamado from the other side!

"Yes, you were with Graf-Zaza."

Finally, the five brave men are able to leave their seats. Graf-Zaza has stared down at me and Ai-Fa from behind Gibba's upper jaw.

"There seemed to be a lot of noise earlier between Dom's family and Rutim's... wouldn't it have bothered Fa's guests?

"Uhm. Nothing annoying happened"

When Ai-Fa answered solemnly, Graf-Zaza nodded, "Really?"

"There would have been a point not even in Dom's family Diga, but Rutim's family Zwei-Rutim should now turn around a little bit. He shouldn't be old enough to be allowed to be crude."

"Yes. As Rutim's parent, I want to guide my family right"

Gazran-Rutim replied that way without hesitation.

It's a rare combination for me, but it's both of them who attend bi-monthly meetings in Castle Town. In the past year and a half or so, my mind must have known a lot.

"Asta to Ai-Fa, how about this dish?

And Morn-Rutim laughs from beyond Kama.

What was handed out here was stir-fried meat dumplings and various vegetables with square-cut Giva Tan. The flavoring was Chinese style, dominated by tau oil and hoboi oil, which was also served when I was settling my hips on the rug, but I decided to have another drink because it was a great performance.

"This is truly an unparalleled flourish, isn't it? Maybe it's direct from Raina-Lou?

"Yes, when I took up Kamadu's job at Luu's banquet before, I learned."

I guess that's how Morn-Rutim learns to cook new dishes every time he returns home and tells the northern settlements. It should have contributed next to Thur-din in improving the quality of cuisine in the northern settlements. The Dom women who work with Morn-Rutim are also somewhere proud of their faces.

(That's what I've been thinking since daylight, but it sounds like Morn-Rutim is totally familiar with the northern settlements)

Since Morn-Rutim is the treatment of the guests, the feast costume is not wrapped around it. Moreover, because the Dom ladies had many long human beings, the small, plump Morn-Rutim had one of them emitting a different colour.

But Morn-Rutim's appearance is so familiar with the occasion that it doesn't bother him at all, such as such appearance differences. The eyes of Dom's ladies looking at Morn-Rutim were gracious, their attitudes were broken, and it seemed so strange that they were not yet of blood clan.

"... Asta at Fa's house had something to ask..."

and the voices of Graf-Zaza descend from overhead.

I didn't get many words like this from this great chief, so I accidentally got to put my spine up.

"Yes, what is it? If it's something I can answer, I don't know."

"You don't have to do that.... Is it true that Gerd's ingredients can make this dish even more delicious?

"To this dish, is it Gerd's ingredient? That's right...... seasonings like fish soy or maroon chit-pickled or a vegetable named Fana on Yural Pa would surely go well with it. I already use those ingredients for similar flavored dishes."

"Right......" he snapped, Graf-Zaza chewed the meat dough out of his big mouth.

"I just heard from another bunch of women that Thur-din was telling me that... uhm..."

"What happened? Is there a problem?

"If the food is going to taste good, there's nothing wrong with it. However, it is hard to believe that there is still room for improvement in such delicious cuisine."

Graf-Zaza was such a serious face that I felt very soothed.

"Of course people have their own taste, so it doesn't necessarily improve the taste...... Graph-Zaza prefers meat dumplings?

"... Are you even trying to say that if you only crave soft meat, it will result in weakening your teeth and jaws?

"No. I didn't worry about that because I'm sure there's no other family as strict as Zaza's blood clan"

Graf-Zaza dazzled my face for a while, then "Hum," he snorted and cheeked a new meat dough.

There, a new group approaches each other. When I tried to get out of the way, one of them threw a voice at me.

"Fa's parents, Rutim's parents and Rutim's predecessors. I want you to compare your powers."

"What?", Ai-Fa frowned.

"What are you talking about when you compare forces? We're guests without blood, aren't we?

"It's awkward. But you don't have to be afraid, because Chief-Graph-Zaza has also accepted"

Ai-Fa looked back at Graph-Zaza, remaining with the same expression.

Graph-Zaza doesn't look like he moved either, and responds "um".

"As a parent, I gave you forgiveness. Of course, it's your freedom to hear the offer."

"In the first place, why are you trying to compare the powers of the feast?

"That's the northern settlement lesson. The hunters, who felt unable to show their strength in the Mother's Forest, would wield their strength even more in the feast."

After saying it that way, Graf-Zaza looked back at the gathered men.

"But Pha's parent, Ai-Fa, is a bunch of women before he was a hunter. I can't allow you to compare the power of combat, can I?

"Of course, you can pull the bar. And I'm sure you'll know what you're capable of."

It was Gene's eldest brother who said so. He was a brave man last time, but this time he couldn't even win a brave seat.

"Fa's parents are as hunters as Dick-Dom admitted. Being a bunch of women, I've always wondered if it really took me that long to gain so much power. Please, I'd like to make arrangements."

Ai-Fa took a small breath and then twisted Lem-Dom on the side.

"... this is what you guys call a pastime"

"Yeah. Everyone has his fluttering fruit liquor in their mouth, so it's separate from the sacred power comparison. So it's a pleasure to enjoy the banquet more."

At that time, from the center of the square, he said, "Oh!" I could hear the twist.

Seeing, Dom's hunter is crawling in the middle of a ritual fire. It was Rad-Lid who was putting up Grigi's stick right near it.

"Uhm! That's Dom's hunter! But as Lid's parent, I'm not gonna get knocked down that easy!

If forgiveness had been given to challenge the Ai-Fas, so would Lad-Lid, who is of the same blood family. To that appearance, Dan-Rutim was shining his eyes.

"I don't know if it's fun, but if it's a power comparison, I'll take whatever it takes and stand! I mean, I've always been in pain, too!

"Thank you.... Fa's parents and Rutim's parents too, please"

Ai-Fa has glimpsed a glimpse of me, with a disappointing head.

I laugh and let my mouth stand in Ey-Fa's ear.

"Why don't you go? I'm making a big deal of myself here, so don't worry about it."

"... you never move on your own, do you?

So Ai-Fa, Dan-Rutim and Gazran-Rutim, and even Lem-Dom were delighted to head to the center of the square.

Only Graph-Zaza was left behind in my place. When I looked him in the eye, Graf-Zaza explained to me before this one opened his mouth.

"Because the brave show sufficient strength, it is a lesson to join no comparison to the strength of the feast. If what is done is to compare the power of bars, it means that me and the two brave men don't deserve to be part of it."

"I see," I convinced.

Since there are many participants in the feast today, I guess I can't afford the space to do a comparison of the power of the fight. The hunters gathered in the center of the square, everyone was interested in a comparison of the power of bar pulling.

After a while, the battle begins between Ai-Fa and Gene's eldest brother.

The result was the instantaneous killing of Ai-Fa.

Gene's eldest brother seemed to wish for a rematch, but let that happen and the other hunters surround Ai-Fa. Instead, Dan-Rutim was overthrowing the hunter of Zaza with a high laugh.

"... in the more northern settlements, the primary priority was to defeat the opponent with rigidity. As well as people like Dan-Rutim and Gazran-Rutim, I guess so."

That's how Graf-Zaza spoke as he watched his own blood families get knocked down in order.

Guests in the castle town will also be watching this sight somewhere. How proud it was for Alvach, Nanaquem and Pratica to know how powerful my beloved parents were.

If you notice, Dim-Rutim and Zei-Din, plus Diga and Dodd, are also entering the center of the square. The people around them were thrilled, and they said again, "Moore!" I was echoing the cheer.

"That's amazing. Is this what the harvest festival in the northern settlements looks like every time?

When I sneaked in, Morn-Rutim, who was stirring the iron pan, smiled and nodded yes.

"Even in the settlement of Luu, it was this kind of noise when we invited travelers, wasn't it? In the northern settlements, this seems normal"

"Oh well. That's the brave, well-known hunter of the North."

When I said it that way, a new shadow approached me again.

Morn-Rutim, who found out who he was before me, makes his face shine. It was none other than Dick-Dom, who was grass-crowned by Gibba's skull.
