951 Divided Path (II)

It was a harvest festival a few months after the parents' meeting that Graph-Zaza was to be reunited with Zuro-Sung.

Harvest festivals are held about three times a year, but all blood tribes are gathered once a year. Because Sung's blood family is far from home, it is difficult to overlap the rest periods.

In addition, because din and lid are far away from home, it is not possible to increase the rest period in any way. Therefore, only a few offerings from parents were just participating in the preparation of banquet dishes compared to strength.

Still, the six families of Sun, Zaza, Dom, Jean, Dana, and Havila are mostly blood-blooded. For everyone, it was supposed to be a day of excitement.

(Especially looking forward to the comparison of power after all. If that's the case, I'd like to make arrangements with Zulo-Sun and Migi-Sun.)

With that in mind, Graph-Zaza was once again aiming to settle in Sun.

My eldest brother is also gladly shining his eyes.

"I'm looking forward to hearing the rumors of how much a hunter Migi-Sung is. It would be difficult for me and you to get a seat of bravery if all these hunters were gathered."

"What should I do with such a weak thing? You should show the Sung family how powerful Zaza is."

It is unlikely that the chief Zatsu-Sung and the heads of the northern settlements will miss the heroic seat. Then we must take the remaining four seats with the other hunters. The northern settlements were filled with good hunters, and for the Graph-Zaza, the heads of the other blood families were by no means despised.

If you arrive at Sung's settlement, you must first deposit your sword and hunter's clothes.

Graph-Zaza took off the hunter's clothes and the Seung family ladies who tried to receive it opened their eyes and said, "Well."

"It's a terrible scar... it looks like you're going to bleed out right now, but won't it hurt?

"Mm-hmm. Gradually, it's not important."

At last year's Harvest Festival, we were challenging ourselves to compare strength while wearing bandages to avoid bad winds.

In addition, since the Sung family performs force comparison while wearing clothes, scars on the shoulders and back are not seen. Graph-Zaza was never ashamed of this scar, but it was annoying to be afraid of it.

"Now, let's start the power comparison... gather here the hunters who have become eight brave men compared to last year's power..."

Seven hunters gathered under chief Zatsu-Sung.

There were three northern settlement heads, one Zaza family member, and two Dom family members - a strange combination last year, with Lid's parents still winning. It is fortunate that no one has returned their soul in the past year.

Graph-Zaza and his eldest brother were heroes at the tri-family harvest festival in the northern settlement, but that was not accounted for. In the past year, Graph-Zaza showed the blood family how powerful they had been.

"The power comparison arrangement is the same as last year... before the three opponents are decided, the two opponents will retreat there... and the brave last year will be challenged only once..."

At first, it will be the practice of Sung's harvest festival to challenge the people of another house as much as possible. At that stage, the hunters, with the exception of Sung and the northern clan, will almost retreat.

Graph-Zaza decided to challenge Zaz-Sung first.

But the chief, who had not known of losing for ten years, had no choice. Although there is no big difference in physique anymore, Zatsu-Sung is as heavy as a rock, and Graph-Zaza does not collide or frighten with all his strength. Then, at the next moment, it was rolled onto the ground without a clumsiness.

(Before Zatsu-Sung gets old, will I be able to do more... I just want to live forever)

After that, Graph-Zaza was able to beat the hunter of Jean, who had challenged him himself, and the hunter of Javilla, who had been challenged by the opponent.

If you beat one more, you'll be able to advance to the battlefield where the brave are defined. Graph-Zaza thought about who to target.

(Migi-Sung will go ahead on his own anyway. Then why don't you try Zouro-Sun?)

I looked around like that, but I couldn't find it because it was so many people.

Graph-Zaza decided to ask the women of Sun who had just handed over the hunter's clothes and sword.

"Hey, have you seen Zouro-Sung, the eldest brother of the Sun family?

The women who were causing their cheeks to burn in the match shook their necks to the side.

"Zulo-Sung was injured in a hunting job, so he didn't join the force comparison. I don't see him all the time, so maybe he's resting somewhere in the house?

"What? Did you get so hurt?

"No, I hear you just fell out of the tree and twisted your ankle, so it's probably not that deep."

Graph-Zaza dropped his shoulders.

(What a rough guy to get injured for such a reason at a time like this... would you let Migi-Sung challenge you?)

When Graph-Zaza thought like that, there was a sudden loud cheer.

Looking back, Migi-Sung's giant body stood in the square. At his feet was Graph-Zaza's brother.

"Hey, are you okay?

The eldest brother had difficulty getting up, so Graph-Zaza rushed in.

His eldest brother groaned weakly and squeezed his voice "It's okay..."

"I've hurt my back a lot, but I won't break my bones... this match is Miggy-Sung's victory..."

"Of course. I've done so much trouble, but can my bones be broken?"

Migi-Sung was laughing with a harsh face.

Graph-Zaza finds his ugly smile interesting.

"Next time, let me challenge you. After a short rest, I want to ask the other person."

"Hmm. Now I've beaten three opponents. If you want to fight me, you can come and win."

With the same smile, Migi-Sung repeated his words.

"But Zaza's eldest brother and Dom's eldest brother weren't as powerful as they thought. I heard that the northern clan was brave, but now it's too much."

When Graph-Zaza tried to yell back, it was interrupted by Zaz-Sung.

"Migi-Sung... that's probably because your powers are exhausted... neither Zaza's eldest brother nor Dom's eldest brother was ever a shameful force... but you should be more proud of your powers than that..."

"Yes, I am most proud of the words of the great chief Zatsu-Sung."

Migi-Sung was not ashamed, but bowed in humility.

Graph-Zaza managed to hold his tongue as he lent his shoulder to his eldest brother.

And when he brought him to the hall, his eldest brother smiled bitterly.

"I'm sure he dared to challenge me and Dom's eldest brother... and eventually wanted to show us the difference in power."

"... he said he had already beaten three, but who was the last one?

"Last year's brave man, Lid's parents... you weren't at all against him either."

I see. Then I will remind you in the battle to decide the brave man. "

Graph-Zaza then defeated Dom's hunter.

The end of the first match is announced when there are sixteen people who won out of three. There was no sign of Lid's parents or Dom's eldest brother, and instead the parents of Javilla and Din were winning.

(There were seven brave men last year, Migi-Sung. Jean, my eldest brother and Zaza's family are two... and Sung's family are two.)

One member of Sung's family was the faint man named Tae-sung. According to a story I heard after the parents' meeting, Tae-sung had a lot of trust from Zat-sung and was accompanying him when he met Genos' nobles.

(Well, I don't care about other people at this time. Mother forest, let me fight that Migi-Sung.)

Since this is a comparison to the sacred power, I don't think I will avenge my brother.

But still, I couldn't leave that rude presence alone. How much power is hidden behind that arrogant behavior - I had to see it.

Opponents are determined by the use of Fibach's grass.

After all, the opponent of Graph-Zaza was Migi-Sung.

"Wow, have you really won? I didn't see Zaza's second brother."

Migi-Sung didn't break his arrogant attitude.

And the power was beyond Graph-Zaza's imagination.

His physique is better than Graph-Zaza at thirteen. Still, the size of the body did not determine the match, and Graph-Zaza ran into it from the front - Migi-Sung did not make it slight. What I could feel from the giant body was a sense of power comparable to that of Zatsusung.

Graph-Zaza was thrown before counting to ten.

Migi-Sung was a truly extraordinary hunter. That's all I had to admit.

(A new goal has been found. I should be more powerful than my father and Zatsu-Sung to beat this Migi-Sung first)

The graph-zaza was so pure that they showed the difference in power.

Migi-Sung has so much power. Then you won't hear the words of someone weaker than yourself. To beat the arrogant roots again, I had no choice but to acquire more power than Migi-Sung.

(I didn't expect a person younger than myself to feel this way. Isn't there more to it than chasing after the chief or father?)

Such a graph = Zaza's enthusiasm also approximated, and the comparison of power proceeded solemnly.

Zats-sun defeats Tae-sun, Dom's parents defeats Javilla's parents, and each wins a heroic seat. Every time, the families surrounding the battlefield cheered.

Jean's parents met Graphic-Zaza's father and decided to leave here. As long as it's a shame that Jean's parents miss the hero's seat, this is all my mother's woods. After all, Ding's parents defeated Sun's family and won the seat of champion.

It was Zats-soon and Migi-soon, the head of Zaza and the head of Dom who went further and won to the last four.

Migi-Sung was unexpectedly dazed and defeated by Zats-Sung. Of course I didn't add any effort, but I think I was overwhelmed by Zatsu-Sung's temper. Even Migi-Sung didn't have a chance in front of Zaz-Sung.

Graph-Zaza's father, Zaza's head of family, was defeated by Dom's head of family. Both forces were antagonistic compared to the forces performed only by the northern clan. This had no choice but to admire Dom's parents.

And even the head of Dom was no match for Zatsu-Sung. It was more sticky than Migi-Sung, but it was not a match that could still be called a close match, and this year it matched the result of being reminded of the power of the chief Zats-Sung.

(It would rather be a pleasure to be reminded of the strength of the close Sung family.... but going beyond parenthood should be the role of the child. I don't want to threaten the chief's throne, but as a hunter, I'll get over it eventually.)

Graph-Zaza was satisfied.

Once you've finished your strength comparison, you'll just have to fill your stomach with lavish banquet dishes and sleep in the sacred hall.

However, there was only one thing left in the graph-zaza.

In order to eliminate it, I decided to speak to the people of Sun this time. A hunter named Tae-sung, who missed his seat as a brave man.

"Hey, my eldest brother, Zouro-Sun, won't even show his face at the feast? I'd like to say hello."

Tae-sung glanced back at Graph-Zaza. Even at that age, the hair is mixed with something a little white. After all, it was a crowd with an old man atmosphere somewhere.

"Zulo-Sung's legs hurt, so it's hard to walk around the square. He should still be resting at home."

Home. I understand. "

Graph-Zaza approached the house of the main house quietly, looking sideways at the festivities lit by the fire of the ritual.

The moment I stopped in front of the house and tried to speak up, the door opened. From there emerged Migi-Sung's giant body.

"Yeah? What does Zaza's hunter want with the main house?

"I came to say hello to my eldest brother, Zulo-Sung. Will you let me in?

"Greetings?" Migi-Sung twisted his mouth and laughed.

"Saying hello to such a coward won't do you any good. Don't tell me you think that coward will succeed the chief?

"... who will be the next chief of the clan will be my mother's woods. Will you let me in or won't you let me in?

"I don't know because I'm not from the main house. At best, be careful not to let your cowardly temper spread."

Migi-Sung left for the feast, echoing a cloudy laugh.

After dropping off that big back, Graph-Zaza calls out to the dim indoors.

"Hey, I'd like to say hello, okay?

"So, who is it? Zulo-Sung replied. It sounds like you're scared of something.

"I am Graph-Zaza, the second brother of Zaza's main house. I went out to say hello to my eldest brother, Zulo-Sung."

"The, what does Zaza's second brother want from me...?

Graph = I can't see from Zaza's position, but the voice isn't that far, so I guess I'm resting in the hall. With such a weak voice in mind, Graph-Zaza repeated his words.

"That's why I'm here to say hello. You are not allowed to step into the house without your family's permission. Will you forgive me?

"Beh, I don't mind...."

Interpreting it as an admission, Graph-Zaza decided to step into the earth.

A candlestick is lit in the back of the hall, and a huge figure appears there. Graph-Zaza closed the doorplate and threw away his leather footwear.

"I'm sorry you're resting. I couldn't change my words at the parents' meeting, so I thought I'd say hello."

Graph-Zaza took a step forward under Zuro-Sun.

It is the image of a young man with weak eyes, as I remember. A grey bandage was wrapped around the tip of the right foot thrown into the rug.

"I heard you fell off a tree and hurt your ankle. I wanted to compare my strength to yours, so that's a shame."

Graph-Zaza lowered his hips in the right place, and Zouro-Sung immediately opened his eyes.

"Well, why do you compare your strength to mine...? Did I do something to make you feel bad...?

"Hmm? What are you talking about making me sick?

"I mean, you wanted to hurt me with your power...?

Graph-Zaza was deeply astonished.

"What are you talking about? Compared to the power of the Harvest Festival, it is a sacred ritual to show the power of the hunter to the mother forest and blood tribes. Even if you have someone you don't like, you won't be forgiven for giving back your feelings in the context of power comparisons."

"So, are you going to hurt me right now...?

Zulo-Sung said with a trembling voice, and he fell back until his back hit the wall.

Graph = The is getting more and more dazzling.

"I have no idea what you're talking about.... maybe Migi-Sung said something to you?

When Migi-Sung's name was heard, Zulo-Sung trembled.

Graph = Zaza sighs a lot.

"Well... he's big enough to be a brave man at the age of 13, but he's still unfamiliar with the hunter's pride. You don't have to be fooled by the words of someone like that?

"But...."

"He seems to be very slow, so he may think that the next chief is himself. Then I can imagine your attitude towards your eldest brother in the main house.... but it's like a child who doesn't know the reason is making noise. If you want to shut him up, you can't have more power than that."

"Oh, I can't do anything like this, but I can't get any more power than Migi-Sung...."

I was so angry that Graph-Zaza was stuck in the middle of something.

Zulo-Sung put his back against the wall and said, "Whoa!" and rang his throat. I'm really scared like a toddler.

"You're out of your mind, Zouro-Sung. Why are you so uncomfortable when you have such a fine body?

Graph-Zaza broke Zouro-Sun's arms.

Zulo-Sung almost looks like a crying face - his arm feels a pulsation of definite force.

"Zulo-Sung, how old are you?

"Oh, I'm 16 years old....."

Well then, you're my age. Then you will never be ashamed. This body shows how much training you've been through. "

That said, Graf-Zaza freed Zuro-Sun's arm.

"I was killed today by the chief and Migi-Sung, but one day I swore I would get over it. You should be prepared to live as the eldest brother of the Sun family."

"Well, even if I was told to be ready...."

"Nothing special. Trained as ever to perform the gibber hunting job. Mother forest is always watching over you."

Graph-Zaza had a bitter smile.

"I had no idea you were going to lecture a parent like this. Why are you so scared of me?

"Oh, I don't like the hunter's clothes in the north... this darkness makes me feel like I'm facing Gibba..."

"Don't you like this hunter's clothes?"

Graph-Zaza strips the hunter's clothes out of his head, and Zouro-Sun says, "Whoa! She screamed like a woman.

Graph-Zaza smiles and strokes an old wound on her head that has completely lost its hair.

"Is this look that scary? It's completely uncomfortable."

"Yikes, is that wound...? Did you compare your strength with that body...?

"This is an old wound almost two years ago. I won't hurt anymore."

Graph-Zaza put back on the hunter's clothes and said again.

"This ancient wound is proof that I was immature, but it also made me proud as a hunter. If we do our best, we can overcome any hardship. Born as the eldest brother of the patriarchal family, it may be a great difficulty in itself... but if we overcome it, we will be able to gain power and pride. With that in mind, you should do your best."

That's all, Graph-Zaza stood up.

I don't know how far Zouro-Sung understood his words. But he is as old as he is sixteen. He should have had as much potential as he did.

(There is nothing to rush about. Step by step, everything will be your strength. At the same age, we will certainly be able to proceed with the same sight)

With that in mind, Graph-Zaza left Sun's main house.

The last remnant of my heart could also be eliminated. All you have to do is drink and make noise until you fall asleep and savor the joy of the day.

(The next time we meet, I'm looking forward to seeing how Zulo-Sung is growing. If nothing grows, I'll slap you in the ass at best)

Graph-Zaza thought so.

But it was only after a much longer time than Graph-Zaza had thought that the two would meet again.
