1014 Dom and Rutim's Wedding Day (4) - Two Dances

Then, for about half an hour, we tasted the banquet cuisine while deepening the rapprochement between our guests.

When Zaza's sister and brother disappear, now that Ludo and the others have arrived, I will join you.When she saw Vera's next sister, who couldn't stop crying, and Fow's second brother, who was excited, Lara-Lou secretly smiled with satisfaction.

"Sorry to keep you waiting, there were guests.Please congratulate Dick and the others. "

If half an hour has passed, he will be invited to the rug by Lem-Dom.

There, two names in wedding costumes were surrounded by the culinary mountains.

"I had a hard time with the guests.We can't eat it all by ourselves, so I need your help. "

Speaking like that, Dick Dom had regained his usual sedimentation.

However, the black eyes, which are always burning like fire, shine a very gentle light.Morn Rutim-Dom, wearing Vale, also smiled happily.

"Congratulations once again... both of you were splendid..."

Grandmother Jiba, who was caught up in Ai-Fa and Lara-Lou, smiled so happily that they could not beat each other and said such a festive word.

Morn Rutim-Dom nodded with the same expression, and Dick-Dom squeezed his expression a little.

"I hereby promise to give life to Morn Rutim, the son of the grandson of the oldest Jiba-Lou.I want you to live a long time and keep an eye on it. "

"You've already made Morn Rutim-dom happy... you don't have to worry about me, so please build a happy life for both of us..."

The people of the northern settlement seemed to be respecting Grandma Jiba.

With pleasure, I can also say, "Congratulations."

"I wish you both happiness at Fa's house.Yes, you may not get the chance to make a face, but please be happy. "

Then Dick-Dom's expression changed slightly again.

What kind of expression is this?I feel like I'm seeing something strange with my eyes.

"I suppose... the house of Fa has been tied by strange edges for a long time.Besides, it started with bad luck..... "

I was reminded of my nostalgic memories while answering, "Yes."

That day, when Morn Rutim-Dom was furious with the women of Sun, I met Dick-Dom for the first time at the parents' meeting.

Dick Dom wasn't even known back then.However, he and his son's hunter were the only ones wearing the gibba's skull, and he was a much younger parent than Zaza and Jean - an impression that was impressive.

The next day we met again was the day Digga and Dodd escaped.Instead of handing over the identities of the two men who had escaped into Fa's house, they pressed the doorplate into question.The horror of Dick-Dom's wrath at that time was still unforgettable.

(But he was worried that Zatsu-Sung and the others might attack Fa's house.I know it was to protect Dom's pride... but it must be because of the thickness of Dick-Dom's faith.)

After a while, we didn't have the opportunity to deepen our exchanges - after more than a month, we both got into the castle town.It is the day of confrontation with the Psychics.It was probably that day that I learned Dick-dom's name.

That day, Dick Dom had a guard role with Dan Rutim.That's how I was told that Rutim's ladies were going to wait for the crowd to return at Lou's settlement - and when Dick-Dom and the others stopped by, they were going to meet Morn Rutim-Dom for the first time.The day I found out Dick-dom's name, Morn Rutim-dom was supposed to see Dick-dom.

But after that, I didn't get a chance to interact with Dick-dom.Anyway, it's only natural that there was too much distance between Fa's house and the northern settlement, and there was no business at all.

So there was a hustle and bustle about Lem-Dom wanting to be a hunter, and I and I finally got a chance to meet Dick-Dom.

"When I think about it... it really seems like we were all connected by bad luck."

Ei Fa told me that you shared my thoughts.

But the blue eyes are filled with a very gentle light.

"Dick-dom should not have been angry with us for sheltering Digga or Dodd, or with us for helping Lem-dom.But Dick-Dom entrusted me with the end of Lem-Dom.I think I told you that back then, but I'm proud that a good hunter like Dick-Dom trusted me and so on. "

"You will be a trustworthy man.When it comes to Digga and Dodd... I'm ashamed to see them so disturbed. "

"There's nothing to be ashamed of.Was that just after Zatsu-Sung burned down the settlement?Then it's only natural to be angry. "

The expression finally calmed down, but the eyes were soft, and the two exchanged words like that.

In that appearance, Granny Jiba shouted.

"Somehow... there's something a little similar between Ey-Fa and Dick-Dom... and I thought if I lived closer, I'd be able to deepen my bond sooner..."

"What about us? It's an unexpected word, but if it's likened to Ey-Fa, it would be an honor."

"That's our dialogue.Instead, I feel sorry for you. "

Grandma Jiba compared the two people who answered like that with their very clear eyes.

"Because I'm a dear friend of mine... and I think it would be very nice to have a similar Dick Dom... except... because I've had a bit of a danger... and if it looks like that, it's your job to support it, Morn Rutim Dom..."

"Yes, like Aster, right?"

Morn Rutim-dom smiled and smiled across the magnificent vale.

Ey-Fa looks at Grandma Jiba with a slight glance.

"Anyway, congratulations! Dom and Rutim are now blood folks!"

And Lara-Lou's loud voice shattered the air on the spot, which was about to become somewhat solemn.

"Dom and Rutim are the only blood ties, Rutim is Lulu's blood, Dom is Zaza's blood, and I want to get along with Lulu and Zaza's blood in the future!"

"Mm-hmm. I hope so.But Lou and Zaza are a long way from home. "

Dick Dom also returned words welcoming Lara-Lou's lucidity.Probably the first time I've seen these two names talking.

"I just heard from Dom that you rent out your family in the northern settlements with Din and Lid, right?Then why don't you ask the northerners who keep it in Din and Lid to help you with the stalls? "

"Street food? Is it a street food stall at Din's house?"

"Yeah! I don't mind Lou and Fa's stalls, but I think we should get closer to Din and Lid first.But if we were to do business together in the workplace town, we could deepen our ties with Lou and Fa. "

"Hmm... I don't know anything about street food business, so I can't answer anything..."

And Dick-Dom looked back at his substitute partner.

Morn Rutim-Dom looks up and smiles happily because of the height difference even when he sits down.

"I am a long way off the street business, but I think Lara-Lou is right.Shouldn't we talk to Chief Graph-Zaza first? "

"Yes, I'll tell Geol-Zaza later."

And when they looked at each other, there arose warm air reminiscent of the night of the harvest festival.

Dick Dom is not as soft as he was that night, but his eyes are growing tender.There was no need to hide or lie in front of Morn Rutim-Dom anymore - it was like chewing on such joy.

"From now on, they will be the guiding principles for a new wedding near the forest.As a chief, I want you to watch over me. "

When Dari-Sauti said so, Fow's second brother, who had been in a hurry for so long, stepped out.

"Dick-dom. I want to apprentice you.Even if this is the first time someone with a face has told me something like this, it may be a nuisance... but please let me keep an eye on the fate of both of them. "

"Hmm?... oh, you wanted to marry someone who wasn't blood."

"Oh, yes. I couldn't have followed that path if Dick-dom and Morn Rutim-dom hadn't paved the way with preparedness.I don't just want to benefit, I want to do my part. "

On the other side of Dari-Sauti, Vella's next sister is bending over.As expected, tears have been stopped, but it still doesn't seem like a normal mind.The way you played your eldest brother with your pretended face was as cute as someone else.

"That may be difficult... but I don't have any apprenticeships.I think you should only apprentice Morn Rutim. "

"No, that's not true. It was certainly Morn Rutim Dom who took the first step, but it was Dick Dom who took it.I admire the preparedness and courage of Gazran-Lutim in welcoming Morn Rutim-Dom to Dom's settlement, despite his suggestion to learn from the woods. "

"I'm sorry... I don't know, I'm ashamed"

And Dick-Dom covered his mouth with a big palm.

Dari-Sauti smiled bitterly and licked Fow's second brother.

"It's nice to be upset, but it doesn't bother Dick-Dom and the others.Dick-Dom and the others didn't wed to learn the custom around the woods.We should just celebrate the end of the wedding this evening. "

"No, I'm sorry. Anyway, it's making me feel really good...."

"Will you soon be 18?Then Dick Dom and I are only one year old.First of all, we should learn about the deposition of Dick-dom. "

"Eh! Is Dick-dom still 19 years old!?"

"No, I'm 18 years old because my birthday is a white moon."

Fow's second brother seemed to have been struck by the shock I felt about a year ago.

"Eighteen... I didn't imagine... if I had been the head of the main house with a fine family named Dom..."

"It doesn't matter until you're born.Fa and others should be smaller clans than Fow. "

"Ah, sure... I guess E-Fa's just turned 19, too, huh?"

"Mm-hmm. Some parents have their own style in order to behave like parents.... but that's not everything.I think Dick Dom would have been a fine man, even if he was a family member. "

After answering in that way, Ey-Fa laughed at the Fow men with his eyes alone.

"It would also be Dom's home style for Dick-Dom to deposit.Fow has the wind of fow, and I like it.Dick Dom is a good apprentice, but aren't you forced to hide your feelings? "

"So, how do I apprentice?"

"I don't know. Ask Badu-Fow."

Lara-Lou and Dari-Sauti laughed at Ai-Fa's insidious words.Fortunately, Vera's next sister also giggled.I'm sure she doesn't want any style from Fow's second brother.

Then Morn Rutim-Dom, smiling with a smile, looked back at Rud-Roux.

"You've been eating Rud-Roux for a while now.Don't you have anything to say? "

"Hmm? I don't think the others are talking.I'm not filled at all yet, so it's just fine. "

"As usual, Ludo Lou."

Morn Rutim-Dom and Rud-Roux laughed at each other with their childish faces.They must be like Dom's brother and sister and Zaza's sister and brother.

"... I am deeply grateful to Ludo Lou, too.Is it you who pushed Morn Rutim's back first? "

When Dick Dom said that in a somewhat mysterious tone, Ludo Lou said, "Hmm?"and leaned his neck.

"I don't know what you're talking about.I pushed my back, don't you remember? "

"But did you visit Dom's settlement to identify me?That's what Morn Rutim told me. "

"It's for my own good.Morn-Rutim - Oh, no, Morn-Rutim Dom is my precious blood.I just wanted to see for myself what a loved one is. "

That said, Ludo Lou spilled his white teeth.

"It was the person who worked hard, and I was just watching from the side.I don't need your gratitude, so take care of Morn Rutim-dom. "

"I understand. I promise I will never betray your trust."

So Dick-dom stared at Morn Rutim-dom again.

Being watched by a lot of people, they were able to celebrate today.Everyone would have been satisfied if they had been happy already.

"Excuse me for a moment.It has nothing to do with the guests, but it's time for the ladies to start dancing. "

And Lem-Dom, who appeared from nowhere, told him so.

Ludo Lu, who was working on a new dish, responded cheerfully "Hmm".

I wonder if it's already such a stitch.Doesn't Lem-Dom show the dance? "

"I'm not showing you. I'm not going to give you a wedding."

"I want to have it. If it were Lem-Dom, I'd be able to dance coolly."

"Looking cool?... Oh, at Lou's feast, not just the young girl, but everyone was at ease to dance.But it's a wedding feast, so I won't let my guests. "

While Lem-Dom was talking like that, I could hear the bones of the gibba squeaking.

Young girls in banquet costumes surround the ritual fire, and men carrying gibba bones surround it from the outside.There are only a few women in the crowd, because it is only Dom's blood.

The crowd beat the bones of the gibba in a strange tone and began to chant heavily again.In addition, the leathery drums used at the Harvest Festival sounded like bass drums.

Along with that, the ladies began to dance slowly.

As with other clans, it seems that the shape is not well defined.Each woman moves her hands and feet to her heart's content, and brings brown skin and magnificent veils to the fire of the ritual.However, since everyone matches the rhythm of the drums and bones, I felt a sense of unity that everyone was completing one dance.

Dom's ladies have a lot of tall people.That's why the dance was so powerful and elegant.

As the tempo of the percussion instrument rises, the movement of the female crowd becomes intense.

When I realized it, the movement was as intense as a raging flame.

It is still very dynamic because of its excellent physical condition.The strong vitality of the people around the forest was more likely than the dance of other clans.

After a while, the tempo slowly drops.

But it also caused the high waves to rise, regaining the heat and dynamism.

It takes more time than the dance I see at other feasts.

Sweat rose up in the women's body, and it produced more radiance.

It feels like the joy of being alive, the pride of being born as a child of the forest, and the passion expressed somewhere, such as conflict and anguish.It was as if they were chasing something endless, with untold anguish - anyway, they seemed to be spreading all the whirlwind of passion inside.

Is that the courtship dance?

After exposing all of ourselves and asking someone to accept it, it seemed like we were complaining of grief - we were watching from just a few meters away, but it seemed like its power was approaching to the throat.

After repeated pulsations, the tone of the chant and percussion instrument decreases.

Until the sound completely vanished, the women continued to move loosely, and broke deeply with the disappearance of the sound.

The drums were beaten indiscriminately, and the crowd cheered.At that time, there seemed to be no distinction between Dom and Rutim.

"Hmm. Whatever it is, the northern settlements are different in colour.Maybe I should have visited the northern settlement earlier. "

In cheer, Dari-Sauti snapped like that, and Grandma Jiba felt it, and said, "I see..."

"I kind of... remembered when I was young... maybe everybody used to dance like that..."

"I don't know," Lem-Dom says with a laugh.

"Let me tell you something, I think the guy at this feast has changed a little bit lately. It's been going on for 80 years."

"Oh... is that so...?"

"Yes. I used to be more... yeah, I think I was standing before you.Maybe it's because I've had a harder life than I have ever had. "

"Ah... then maybe it's the same as it used to be... I don't know, maybe I should have regained my old powers..."

"Old power? Were the people around the forest more powerful?"

"Well... by the time I arrived near the Morga forest, there would have been thousands of people... who were reduced by 100, by 200... who were not allowed to fill their bellies with the grace of the forest, and who bought something unfamiliar from people in a town they didn't know well... I think they were losing power little by little..."

Grandma Jiba spoke like that again, staring at the fire of the ritual with a very clear eye.

"The strength of the flesh may have grown stronger... weak humans returned their souls before reaching Morga... because they were fighting scary beasts like Gibba, so weak humans couldn't survive there... only strong humans left behind, and the strength of the flesh grew stronger..."

"You must have eaten my heart.The greatest clan was the Sung family.With the nasty nobility, the Sung family was corroded by poison.And when we avoided the people in the town, we always followed the wrong path and gradually eroded our hearts. "

Dari-Sauti answers with a quiet voice.

"But we believe we're back on the right track.By admitting that the people in the town are not enemies, but sons of the same gods, did they finally regain their power? "

"Ah... maybe so..."

Grandma Gibba's eyes stared at me, not Dari-Sauti.

Without saying anything, those clear eyes say, "Thank you so much..."

"Great! Now it's Rutim's turn!"

And Ludo Lou stood up energetically.

Rem Dom, who was listening to Jiba's grandmothers in a mysterious way, looks back at you.

"Sure, it's Rutim's turn next, but you don't care, do you?"

"Don't be hard. Rutim's people still haven't trained him enough."

And Ludo Lew took the whistle out of the hidden pocket of the hunter's clothes.

Lem-Dom laughs bitterly.

"Well, that's fine.If you don't dance with me, I'll close your eyes. "

"I can't pretend to be such a clever flute dancer.I'm not one of the travelers. "

And Lud-Lou ran toward the men of Rutim.

Originally, in the blood of Lou, he was accompanied by a dance with bone ringing and a grass whistle.That is why in recent years flutes have been added.

The young women of Rutim are also gathered around the fire of the ritual with a smile.There are only a few unmarried women here.

But I'm sure they'll show me a dance that has an entirely different charm from Dom's crowd.By combining the charms of each of them, will more attractive dances be produced in the future?

"Well, I'm looking forward to what kind of dance it will be."

When I laughed like that, Eye-Fa's blue eyes turned back very cold.

"Looking forward to it... this is a proposal dance."

"What? No, no, no, that's not what I meant.You know that, don't you? "

"Is there any other meaning to the phrase" I'm looking forward to a proposal dance? "

After saying that, Eye-Fa burst out.

"Don't disturb me like that. I don't think that part is growing."

"Yeah? Did you use me?What a mean imitation. "

"Because you speak thoughtless words, asshole."

Ai-Fa smiled satisfactorily and turned her gaze back to the center of the square.

Thought I'd follow that sliding cheek, but I'm turning back on you.

(... I wonder when I'll see Ei Fa's banquet costume next.)

It will soon be Lou's harvest festival, but Ai-Fa has decided to wear a banquet costume only at the wedding feast.And since the organizer offered to refrain this time, the necklace decoration I gave on my birthday didn't show up.

Of course, Ai Fa was wearing a banquet costume and couldn't possibly dance such as a proposal dance.With that appearance alone, I was more fascinated than any dance.

While I was thinking that there was no such a benefit, the men of Rud-Lou and Rutim began to whistle and grass whistle.

Rutim's women in banquet costumes began to dance loosely along with it.

Sneaking across, Dick-Dom and Morn Rutim-Dom watched the girls dance happily as they approached their skin.

If you have finished the proposal dance, the end of the feast is now.

But then again, two happy lives start here.

Please be happy forever - and while repeating the words of blessing in my heart, I decided to look back at the magnificent scenery illuminated by the fire of the ritual.
