936 Harvest Festival in Northern Settlements (8) - Conclusion

"Dick-Dom, how about a stir-fry of meat dumplings?

Laughing happily, Morn-Rutim said so.

Dick-Dom stays immovable and responds "No". With the addition and subtraction of light, it was hidden in the shadow of the skull again under its eyes.

"What's wrong? Could it be that your right hand is not feeling well?

"No," Dick-Dom repeated in a slightly stronger tone as Morn-Rutim immediately gave him a worrying look.

"Ancient wounds don't hurt at all. But my right arm is a lot exhausted... so I can't add to the power of bar pulling."

"Really? I'm glad the old wounds aren't hurting."

Morn-Rutim breathes as relieved. She is also such a diverse girl with such expressions that Merrim can't beat her.

However, Dick-Dom is not looking very normal. The Dom women working in Morn-Rutim's place also looked worried about the appearance of such a parent.

"... Morn-Rutim was still at work. Just for a little while, would it take a while?

"Yeah, I don't mind that... what the hell is wrong with you?

Morn-Rutim handed the ladies of Dom the ladle and came out to the side of the Kama.

In this way, when you stand face to face, there is a difference in height between the two. Since Morn-Rutim's head had only reached Dick-Dom's chest, it was likely that there would be a separation of about 40 centimeters.

"... The truth is, I was going to wait until tomorrow. So I was chilling my head outside the square... but I couldn't stand it."

Saying in a heavy voice, Dick-Dom broke one knee on the sieve.

That's how I look up at Morn-Rutim's face, taking Gibba's skull off every grass crown and holding it in my chest.

"Rutim, this is Morn-Rutim, the sister of the head of the main family. Dom, the head of the main house, Dick-Dom, wants to offer Morn-Rutim a wedding"

Morn-Rutim rounded his eyes properly.

Then it slowly becomes a surprise face.

"Duh, duh, what's going on, Dick-Dom? Why all of a sudden, tell such stories…"

"Not all of a sudden. I've always said I'd make my mind up on this day."

That's what Dick-Dom said as he looked straight up at Morn-Rutim's face with black eyes.

"If this power comparison of harvest festivals allowed me to get the throne of the brave, trying to offer Morn-Rutim a wedding... that's what I've been thinking. To be precise, it will begin on the day when he suffered a hand wound on the purple moon and began his stay in Rutim's settlement"

Morn-Rutim was blinking his eyes at how he still didn't understand what was going on.

And that's the same thing with me. A few meters away, the hunters were interested in a stick pull, and people were like, "Moore! I'm cheering." Though this is the moment I've been waiting for, it just didn't seem like I could really figure this out.

The women of Dom, who tumble on the kamado just around the corner, also watch the interaction between the two in a dazzling manner.

And Graf-Zaza...

Graf-Zaza was sharply shining his black eyes like a brave man challenging a power comparison.

"Just don't get me wrong... I didn't lose my destiny in my mother's woods. I just wanted to ask myself if I really deserved Morn-Rutim's companion."

Dick-Dom overlapped words, not even in his ears, such as the hustle and noise around him.

"I'm an immature person. I intend to have earned the title of brave man more than once before and show Dom's parents the power they deserve in the woods... but still, something is missing. Something's missing. He's an incompetent, immature person."

"I can't believe Dick-Dom is immature, that's..."

"But it is. I guess this isn't just about me, it's all about Dom. So Dom was to lose his power so much. Eighty years ago, Dom, who was supposed to have more power than Luu than Zaza, lost his power so much... I'm sure it's because something is missing"

Dick-Dom's heavy voice is riddled with bitter emotions that he can't even hide.

"In the Black Forest, Dom would have been second only to Gaze and Sung. Since that moved to Morga's woodland, I've been losing my powers. I don't even know what Dom's missing or what he's missing. So I hope to seek further correctness after showing the same strength as before. I want to walk down that path… with Morn-Rutim."

"Dick-dom......"

"I don't know what's missing from Dom. It's just that I felt my heart fill with being with Morn-Rutim. Please let me apologize for taking so long to decide my mind that way. And... please, I want you to stay with me until that day when I give you your soul back."

"Yes......" Morn-Rutim smiled.

On its cheeks, clear tears spill.

"I was the one who wanted it. Please... make me the companion of Dick-Dom"

Dick-Dom nodded deeply with one knee broken.

When I do that, my brunette hair hides her expression.

After a while, when Dick-Dom looked up again...

That face, full of ancient wounds, had an uncontrolled smile that looked younger than its age.

That's how Dick-Dom gives Morn-Rutim Giva's skull in a bit of a nasty shape.

Receiving it, Morn-Rutim gently creased it on the forehead of his skull before putting it over Dick-Dom's head.

Dick-Dom gets up and now smiles at Morn-Rutim from overhead.

Morn-Rutim also smiled with a face full of happiness as he continued to spill tears.

There - I pushed my emotions to death, Graph-Zaza's voice sounds.

"Dear Dick-Dom, are you going to trample the woodland lesson?

I inadvertently shrugged my neck and decided to look back at Graf-Zaza.

Graf-Zaza looks like Dick-Dom and Morn-Rutim as they eat in.

"Dom is Zaza's family and I will be Zaza's head. If so, we cannot overlook this kind of inertia."

"Oh, wait, Graph-Zaza!

And from behind which came the women of Dom.

"The parents finally got to decide their minds! Please... have mercy..."

"From me, too, please! If necessary, I will gather all Dom's family!

Graf-Zaza had black fire eyes and looked down at Dom's ladies.

"Don't imitate you've gone too far. This is Dick-Dom's sin. Let's not get involved with Dom's family."

"But......!

As the women tried to eat down, Dick-Dom advanced, "It's okay."

"Graf-Zaza is right, this will be my sin. You don't have to drool like that."

"But we've been waiting for this day!

"Yes! I've been looking forward to the day when my parents and Morn-Rutim will be bonded...... welcoming Morn-Rutim as Dom's family!

Morn-Rutim smiled at the women, spilling new tears.

"Thank you. I can't believe you guys said that... I'm a happy man"

"Don't imitate that happiness with water."

Graf-Zaza gives an angry voice.

"A wedding promise is something that parents should first exchange with each other. How could you have trampled on a woodland lesson when Rutim's head, Gazran-Rutim, was holding back?

"I am truly, sincerely sorry. As I said the first time... I couldn't stand it anymore."

Dick-Dom did his hand to his thick chest and drooped his head over Graf-Zaza.

The women are watching.

"Uh... wasn't Graf-Zaza against your two weddings?

"Why should I disagree? Dick-Dom would have allowed Morn-Rutim to stay to determine if he was the person his partner deserved?

That's what Graf-Zaza said in such a way as not to be outraged.

"If you've finally made up your mind, I'll bless you as Dick-Dom's blood. But you can't allow me to trample on a forestside lesson. What's the deal without the pardon of the parents, Dick-Dom?

"... I'm really, really sorry"

"Should you first apologize to Morn-Rutim? I've been waiting so long to give you this, because you've been followed by a covenant ritual."

Saying it that way, Graf-Zaza also made fun of Morn-Rutim.

"However, Morn-Rutim has also given back. If you hadn't given me the deal, that would have been the end of the story. You and Dick-Dom are guilty of the same crime?

"I'm sorry. I lost my patience, too."

Even as he bowed his head that way, Morn-Rutim couldn't contain his feelings of joy and was smiling with tears spilling.

In return, Graf-Zaza breathes "at all......"

"Dom and Rutim are the first families to work on a new lesson called a parent-free wedding. If so, we should abide by the lesson to be followed? Now, don't be considerate."

"In the future, I vow to discipline myself strictly. I need you to believe me."

Dick-Dom said so with a look of sincerity itself on its stern face.

After looking back at that figure for a while, Graf-Zaza looks back at the women of Dom.

"Bring me Gazran-Rutim. Of the ritual of covenant, it's a repeat.... And you guys weren't in the role of watching the pot not burn?

"Yes! Sorry!

One of the women returns to Kama, and the other rushes to the center of the square.

but Gazran-Rutim was less interested in comparing power with the hunter of Zaza, so it was about to take a while.

Side by side, Dick-Dom and Morn-Rutim stare at each other without any difference in height.

Graf-Zaza has looked down on me, arrogantly arming himself.

"It's Asta. As for the wedding without parental involvement, let's keep it to ourselves, shall we?

"Yes. You're talking about Dom and Rutim being the only ones connecting the edges of blood, and Zaza and Luu and the rest of the bloodline have nothing to do with it, right?

That was devised by Gazran-Rutim and decided at the former Conference of Parents, so of course I didn't forget either.

"There is no direct involvement in the arrangement and Fa's house. But it should have been the power of Fa's house that brought the Sung family's sins to light in the first place"

"Yes, it's an honor for you to say so"

"If the Sung family sins were not uncovered, there would never have been an intimacy between Zaza and Luu. Also, if you hadn't brought something called delicious food to the woods, you wouldn't have gotten to the point of lending your family to each other in the Luu and Zaza bloodlines. If you think about it, Fa's house should exist on the far edge of this situation."

"Yes, I'm honored, too, as I cross the line"

"Then you will also be entitled to see this ritual through. The wedding will take place after the rainy season, but tell your parents you intend to."

"Can you invite me and I-Fa to your wedding?

When I let my face shine, Graf-Zaza snorted "Hmm".

"It's a lot of swallowing stuff to laugh at. This is also an act that connects the forestside lessons from the ground up, isn't it? If there is no end to this, Morn-Rutim will be cut off from Rutim's blood."

"Yes. Still, I've always been delighted that this story was forgiven by all parents at the Conference of Parents. As a forest folk, I want to see if this is really the right thing to do."

Graf-Zaza's black eyes look at me as they explore.

At the end of the day, Graf-Zaza snapped, "You've changed."

"Was it the first time in months that I looked at you like this?

"Yes. The last time I spoke properly... is that going to be since the day I was summoned by Fermes? So it's going to be the first time in almost five months"

"Five months. I guess it's enough time for a young human to grow up"

With that said, Graf-Zaza laughed with his mouth covered in a hard looking mustache.

"I'm not tired yet, either, but I can't live longer than you guys. You are the ones who make great hardships and great happiness by connecting the forestside lessons. Don't forget that, Asta."

"Yes, I remember the liver"

I was kind of comfortable getting to know Graf-Zaza for the first time.

There, he said, "Whoa, whoa!" I hear the roar. Dan Rutim came up here with a sand dust.

Later, Ai-Fa and Gazran-Rutim have also followed suit.

Dick-Dom and Morn-Rutim looked so happy, but so embarrassed.

Me and Graf-Zaza are going to see that happy moment again.

With all my sincere pleasure, I was to wait for the Ai-Fas to arrive.
