956 Star Dance (Bottom)

And the night of that day.

Namkal and Razma's family gathered in the cave for dinner the same way they did last night.

However, the facial expression has changed in about half. We try to switch families on a daily basis so that we can constantly deepen our bonds with your blood family.

In the Namkal clan, the same face as last night is found in the chief and the fifteen families close to the blood. In addition, Razma had a family of chiefs, so he decided to have dinner again in the same place as Luja.

"It seems that the harvest of Hamra's house today consisted of one gibba and two munts. I think it would be a fine achievement, but would it still have some impact without a tier?

When Luja said that, Rita reacted hypersensitively again.

"Tier is certainly a great hunter, but even with Tier, you can only hunt one Gibba. By the way, today's harvest is one gibber, right?

Hmm. We've been able to bleed out.

…………

"Of course, the gibber meat is loose, so there is no particular problem. Luja just wanted to praise Tia for her superior powers."

Tia was troublesome, so she decided not to answer anything.

Then Luja flies her gaze.

"What's the matter, Tia? You haven't been absent from your hunting duties, have you? Or is there a bad wind in the engraving?

"That's not true. It was just too much trouble to talk."

In response to Tier, Luja became more and more agitated.

Then the mother Horua opened her mouth.

"However, it is the first time I have heard that the seal engraved is scratched. Should I tell the rest of the family?

"I don't know. As for the seal engraving, I don't think I'm going to let the hunter run..."

When Hamra answers in that way, Horua strokes her chin with a "fum."

"Of course, no clan can change the teachings given to it by its forefathers. However, I don't think it has ever been possible for seal engravings to be scratched before... I don't think any family has ever carefully checked it before. It's the same thing as Razma's house."

"Even in Namkal's house, yes. I thought it was important to have the head of my family."

After answering like that, Hamra frowned in a disturbing way.

"Should everyone pay attention to engraving themselves and their families in the future? Then maybe we should talk to the other clans."

"Hmm. At least I want to tell Raal, the chief of Shautalta."

"Well, let's have Rasma and Namkal hunters run one by one tomorrow morning.... White, can I borrow one of your family?

"White", who was devouring Mundt's guts, nodded with a clear expression.

Looking at him, Horua smiles.

"If you're a Valb, you can run with two red people on board, and now you don't have to worry about being attacked by us or Madarama. It seems to be easier to tell the story than before."

"Hmm, that's because Madarama won't be able to make it that fast."

That's why Hamra laughed at The Berze.

"Gradually, I'm not despising your power, so don't be upset, Berze. I'm sure you have a job you can only do."

"Hmm. Madarama has a huge job to do, whether it's hunting gibbers or munts. With Madarama's help, it's easy to work without blood."

It seems that even a giant Madarama like Berze can tie Gibba's movements. If you seal the movement, you can drain the blood alive.

Madaramas, on the other hand, seem to have difficulty eating gibbers on their own. Gibba's body is so huge that it seems difficult to swallow it all because of horns and fangs. Madarama was to be given the flesh of gibbons that had been cut in half since the harvest of the teeth, horns and fur.

(In the past month or so, I was able to roughly establish a way to hunt Gibba and Mundt. We won't starve in the woods anymore)

Thinking like that, Tia's chest felt great joy again.

Hunt and eat guineas in the Morga Forest. It is the same life as the people around the forest.

To the west and east of the mountain of Morga, Tia and the others are doing the same work as the people around the forest, living their days. The distance from the house was rather distant, but Tia felt satisfied.

"But... does the fact that the seal was engraved mean that the Great God's awakening is near?

And the family of Razma and Namkal groaned at the words of Hor 'ah.

Hamra shook her head sideways to calm it down.

"We can't see the time to wake up. I don't think you should say such words in a circumstantial manner."

"Hmm. As a chief, you behaved disgracefully. I apologize for the disturbance."

While answering like that, Horua's eyes seemed to be sparkling with hope.

"However... if I could awaken the Great God with this body, I think Horua would be happier above all else. That's what everyone thinks."

"Hmm, that would be natural. We live for it."

While answering with a solemn voice, Hamra had the same look as Horua.

The same is true of other family members. When the great gods awoke, what transformation the world would undergo - it was unimaginable, but the people of the sanctuary lived hundreds of years for that moment.

Tia, of course, is anxious for that moment. Even the great gods might be allowed to call the people of the outside world compatriots if they wake up, so if I tied them up, my expectations would have expanded more than ever.

But now, in such expectations, one anxiety has arisen.

With such anxiety, Tia put a gibberish meat dinner in her belly.

Well, let's get back to the house.

A while later, Horua declared so.

Then Luja cried out, "Lord Horua."

"Can Luja stay here for a while? I want to talk to Tia."

Not only the horses, but also Hamra and Writa were to blackmail Luja.

"What can I do for Tia?... Tia is still an unacceptable part of the wedding?

"I'm familiar. Tia was worried because she took a hunter's day off, or because she didn't seem to be feeling well."

"... because the clouds are thick this evening, I think the moon's light is also weak. It would be dangerous to go home alone."

"If so, I would like you to stay in the Berze. I'm sure he's worried about Tier too."

Horua looked back at Hamra with a sigh of breath.

"That's what Luja says. I want to hear the judgment of Hamra, the chief of Namkal."

"Hmm. … Does Luja want to talk to Tia without any extra ears?

I see. The smaller the number, the more intimately Luja wants it. "

"... then I'll have you attend the White."

Hamra said as she stroked the pure white fur of the "White" that was right next to her.

"Then let Tia and The White decide if you did the right thing. If it is determined that this is not correct, we will refuse such an offer in the future."

"I understand. It doesn't matter."

So Tia's mood was left unclear and the conversation was decided.

Writa, Kasha, and Megli are looking at Tia with great concern. Even if I tried to tie it up, it wasn't a buzzing story.

Horua leads the Razma clan and the other Madaramas, and leaves the cave.

The Namkal clan began sleeping, and by that time the families who had gone to other caves had returned.

After watching them go deep into the cave, Luja lowered her hips around the entrance.

"Well, let me tell you something. It's been a long time since you and I talked like this alone, Tia.

Luja is laughing cheerfully. In return, Tia stroked the back of The White.

"Because there are" White "and" Berze ", I am not alone.... what the hell are you talking about with Tier?

"It's up to you. Is Tia worried about something?

Ruja said while stroking the black scales of "Berze", who was lying beside her.

"You have a problem that is difficult to tell in front of everyone. There's only Luja here, so don't hesitate to tell her."

"... when I told you that, Tia didn't seem to get anything."

"That's not true. Speaking of which, Luja can share the same thoughts. Your mind should be a little lighter."

After saying that, Luja spilled her white teeth.

"Now, let's talk from Luja so you can talk easily.... I hear you had a funny dream because the seal stamp was scratched. Isn't the content of that dream bothering you?

…………

"Was it the end of the world? What the hell happened to you?

"... chief Hamra said we should shut up. This is not the power we should have yet."

"But you've got a little bit of it. I think you did it wrong to carry it alone. We're all compatriots."

Turning away from Luja's smile, Tia looked out of the cave.

As Horua said, it's dark all night. It stopped raining, but the moist night air was pouring into the darkness.

"... the seal stamp was only slightly scratched in the first place, right? Then the dream technique must have been incomplete. There seems to be no reason why you should care."

"But that... was never a normal dream. Tia knows that much."

"How could it not have been normal? I want to share what Tia saw with Luja."

Tia turned her attention to White.

Sitting on a rock, White stares at Tier with a gentle look. That gaze made Tia decide.

"... in that dream, Tia was wrapped in various sparkles. I think it was my sanctuary compatriots... and the people around the forest."

"Hmm. Did you dream of the people around the forest? Well, since you have a strong feeling for obsession, isn't that a bit of a mystery?

"But in the dream, everybody was taking a different look. Still, Tier could clearly tell what shine was."

Tia scratched at the glamorous neck of The White and looked down at her pure white fur and answered like that.

"The cat that shined in red was Eye-Fa. If I was Ai Fa, it would have been gold or blue... but it was definitely Ai Fa."

"Hmm. A cat was a strange beast you saw in the woods."

"Hmm. The red lion would be Donda-Lou. I didn't know the names of the other lions, but I think they knew each other. And the heavenly eagle is Gazran-Lutim, and the little monkey is Lyelfam-Sdra -"

"Wait, wait, wait. Are they also beast names? I only heard the names of the beasts Tia saw in the woods, like dogs and cats."

"Oh, I see. Lions and monkeys were supposed to be accompanied by travelers. Besides, hawks are....."

Tia was stunned and breathed.

"Hawks are... big birds... but I don't remember seeing or hearing anything like that from Tia."

"Tia knows the bird's name even though she doesn't remember seeing or hearing it."

"I know... I know it in my dreams."

Tia finally finds out how much she's been touched.

"So?" Luja nodded in a low voice.

"They were the beasts, but the people around the woods you know? But didn't you say the word" compatriots "earlier?

"Hmm... Kasha and Megli were there... perhaps Luja was there... and the people around the forest were distracted, but there were a lot of sanctuary compatriots by Tia."

"Were my brothers like beasts?

"I suppose... yes. At least nobody looked human. Tia herself must have been a shining beast."

Tia hugged the body of The White as she was caught by an unfamiliar person.

"In it, Tia was weeping with joy... finally reunited with everyone... finally able to call them compatriots... and almost crushed by that joy."

"Well, as long as it's the end of the world, so be it. After all, is the awakening of the Great Gods near?

"No... Tia's chest was full of nostalgia, and... there were lots of strange sparkles. They must have been the children of Tia's family and the people around the forest."

"Hmm. So it's still a long time before the great gods wake up."

Luja's voice, speaking like that, included a gentle laugh.

"But if the great gods awaken within Tia's life, it would be a happy ending. And why are you worried?

Anxiety stuck behind hope and joy spreads into Tier's heart.

Tia managed to answer as she retreated with the warmth of White .

"Among them... there was no aster."

Luja didn't answer anything.

Tia keeps moving with the fierce rage in her chest.

"There were a lot of people on the spot who didn't even know their names, but there was only Asta. Even though there were human beings who had not yet been born, Asta was the only one..."

"Well, then, of course I'm worried."

Ruja's voice approached Tia.

Ruja smiles unexpectedly gently when she perhaps looks down.

"So that's what you were worried about, Tia."

"Hmm... no way, does Asta... return only one soul sooner than the Great God wakes up...?

Tia was greatly hurt by her own words.

With one knee on the rock, Luja shook her head.

"Nothing is decided that way. You must have touched the power of the earth in a state of inadequacy. If that were the case, I would only have seen an inadequate end."

"But on that occasion, I was able to feel it more clearly than the other person I admired. I can't believe I can feel the presence of Ai Fa so strongly, but I can't feel the presence of Asta at all.... I think that's absolutely strange."

"Calm down," Luja lowered her eyebrows in trouble.

"I'd like to stroke one of your heads, but Luja, who wants to marry you, shouldn't do that. Please, don't spill tears."

…………

"Okay. You value the content of your dreams so much. If that's the case... there might be other ideas."

So Luja looked at something far away.

It is as if they had found their prey beyond darkness.

"Often you listen to stories from the outside world, and you get so neglected. But maybe that's the answer."

"Answer...?

"Hmm. And the many words I heard at the council of chiefs... I see. That seems to be the best way to get here."

That said, Ruja stared at Tia from the front.

Those red eyes are filled with a very bright light.

"Regarding the magic of dreams, Luja was also told by her mother, Horua, in the morning. Was that a story about the same roots as star reading in the outside world?

"Hmm... I think that's what my mother Hamra said..."

"Regarding the ceremony of star reading, Guest Gemdo and Guest Schmiral-Lillin talked about it at the Chiefs' meeting and during the farewell. It was said that it was the power to foresee the end of the world, so it would certainly be the same as the magic of dreams. The stars that blink in the sky represent the end of the world, and humans use star reading and dream techniques to read it."

So Luja smiled forcefully.

"And Master of Guest Gemdo... did you say Fermez? The Fermeth called Asta" The People Without Stars. "That's what you said, Tia.

"Uh-huh. I used to say that with Eye-Fa's pretty angry face... what is that?

"Nothing at all. If Asta's stars weren't in the sky, we wouldn't be able to decipher them. Star-reading and dreaming doesn't make it possible to see the fate of Asta."

Tia blurred and chewed the words.

Luja is finally laughing happily.

"If so, wouldn't you be satisfied that Asta didn't exist in your dreams? You're such a crowd, that Aster guy."

"I wonder..."

"In fact, I don't know until then. But is that what it was supposed to be? We are still not allowed to touch the power of the earth."

That's how Luja narrowed her eyes to tear Tia apart.

"We have no choice but to see the end of the world with our own eyes. Did you say goodbye to the Asters with that in mind? Then it's useless to worry about it."

"Hmm... I think that's the right word."

Tia closed her eyelids tightly and thought of Asta.

That face is still laughing innocently. "It's okay," he said, encouraging Tier.

"Asta has a strong heart and soul. Tia wants to believe in the strength of Asta."

"Mm-hmm. It's just too unusual of you to worry about distant fate."

When Luja laughed, the "Berze" came to her face without a sound.

While stroking her throat, Luja smiled with her usual face.

"Tia has regained her vitality and the Belze is delighted.... the Namkal clan wants to get along with Madarama as soon as possible."

"Then you should also strive to make peace with the people of Valb."

That's what Tia laughed at.

"Thank you, Luja." Berze "and" White ".... Tia's fine now."

White gladly gazed at Tia's face.

Berze is quietly blinking his eyes as he looks down at Tiers.

Tia will still be able to live happily from tomorrow.

While dreaming of a day when we can meet again with Astor and, if that's not possible, a day when ourselves and Astor's children can be countrymen.

The fate of the dream world is irrelevant. Tia was able to break up with Astas with such joy and hope in her chest.

That should have been Tia's happiness above all else.

(Make that dream a reality with our own power. And there's Asta on the spot.... that's what Tia believes.)

Tia got up from the rock and stepped out of the cave and looked up at the dark sky.

Closed to dark clouds, unable to see the moon or the stars. However, because nothing was visible, the possibilities were supposed to be infinite.

If the Great Gods wake up, they will be able to correctly use the techniques of star reading and dreaming.

But by the time that day comes, we will have to make our own way one step at a time and cut through all our destinies.

Even the engraved pain on the cheeks and hands and feet was pleasant for the current tier.

Tia was able to chew on the same joy and hope as she had yesterday, looking up at the night sky without seeing anything.
