Guided by Ziza Lou, I decided to take another step towards the Sin-Lou family.
Since the Sin-Lou family does not keep their toddlers, the area is dim and quiet.However, there was a constant cheer coming from the square, and if we were hunters at night, we should be able to see ourselves.
"... I'm sorry about the feast.I really wanted to talk to you this evening. "
With his usual calm voice, Ziza Lou said so.
Gradually, you don't even remember the pressure.However, Jiza-Lou is a kind person who can't read at all, and I was well prepared to be called by Jiza-Lou in this way.
"Until just now, I was hanging out with Saty Ray."
Jiza-Lou said what I expected.
I'll keep my spine up and say yes.
"I also heard from Tito Minh, who was there.... you and Reina have arranged a banquet meal with Sati Rei in mind. "
"Yes, of course, I've been careful not to make it an inappropriate dedication to the feast."
"Hmm. I felt a little uncomfortable about your choice of yakitori and yakitori udon... but Reina and the others were also preparing things like flavored yakitori and currant soup dishes.I'm sure Saty Ray never left the feast ready for herself.I understand that, too. "
Her thin eyes are staring at me like a thread.
Perhaps it was the first time in my life that I talked to Ziza Lou alone?A long time ago, when Ziza Lou said harsh words, I was surrounded by people like Ai Fa and Rud Lou.
I think people like me should live in a stone city.
I think people like me, who are exotic but have the power to move the forest from the inside, are more dangerous than the unknown Kamur-Josh.
If Ai Fa hadn't refused to marry Darm Lou - if Grandma Jiba and Limi Lou hadn't met Ai Fa - if I hadn't met Ai Fa - the order around the forest would not have been disturbed.
That's what Jiza-Lou used to say.
I was as nervous as I was then.
"Just one thing... as the next chief, there's something I can't watch over."
Ziza Lou repeated her words in a completely unreadable calm voice.
"You were feeding my little Kota-Lou a feast.You should have known that it was an act that was not in keeping with the customs around the forest. "
"... yes, I did."
"Even young children under the age of five have recently been given a portion of banquet dishes.That's because preparing another dish for the toddlers was seen as rather a hassle.Apart from that, only sweets were to be prepared for young children.That is because the chief Donda-Lou found that no share of the joy would disturb the order of Lou's bloodline.As one of Lou's blood tribes, I accept and follow the words of my chief Donda-Lou. "
Calling Kota Lou or Donda Lou by his name is proof of how Ziza Lou felt.
Chewing on that weight, I nodded "yes."
"But this evening... I shared the banquet dish with Kota-Lou without asking the chief's judgment.Whatever it was, it would have been just a shoulder pocket for Kota-Lou.I didn't share those feast dishes with the other kids. "
"Yes, I think so."
"... Kota-Lou is my eldest brother, and my eldest brother.Unless I am young and return my soul, the seat of chief will eventually be passed on to Kota-Lou.Because of that position, Kota-Lou must be innocent.... that's what I'm thinking. "
There was no sense of invisible oppression, but Ziza Lou's words weighed heavily on my shoulders.
"Of course, it was Lou's family who forgave it, not your fault."
"No, I was there, so I'm not going to escape."
"Yes, that's what I think."
All of a sudden I felt like a counterpunch and unexpectedly staggered.
But stay on the spot and listen carefully to Ziza-Lou.
"This night, thou hast not stained thy hands with sinful deeds.It was all Lou's family who wished to devise a dedication and allowed Kota-Lou to share the feast dish.But... if it had been two years ago, Lou's family would not have tried to change the customs around the forest.Many people were inspired by your appearance in the woods and your various transformations.Your presence has changed the woods... and I think that's an unforgettable fact. "
The words spoken earlier by Gazran-Lutim and Dari-Sauti are now poking me in the chest with completely different meanings.
But I nodded "yes" with the same readiness.
"You're still dangerous.What you bring is too big... so no one can be indifferent.Because there is great joy there, everyone is swallowed up by the swell.Even my family was swallowed up by the swell, and this evening I practiced by the woods.You're more dangerous than anyone, Aster. "
"Yes, I understand.However, as I told you before... I don't think people around the forest will ever go the wrong way.No matter how I behaved, if I was as clean and tough as the people around the forest, I would never go the wrong way... because I believed in that way, I decided not to lose my way that I thought was right. "
"So you're not mistaken about what you did this evening?"
"I think so.I wanted to cheer up Sati Ray-Lou and Kota Lou with you, and if there were others in the same position, they would have done the same.I didn't treat Kota-Lou specifically today, but I thought that if there were people in the same position as Kota-Lou in the future, they should be treated the same way... "
…………
"As Jiza-Lou said, you should have talked to Donda-Lou beforehand.However, it was unexpected for us that Kota-Lou was there... so I couldn't turn my head that far.So let's think about that. So please don't scold Raina Lou and the others. "
"... you're the one I'm talking about right now."
"But are you telling me that Raina Lou and I were inspired?Besides, I'm fine.Even if you are recognized as a family member near the forest, you are not a member of Lou's blood.But Raina Lou and the others... worked hard for Sati Ray-Lou and Kota Lou.It's too much to be reprimanded by my family, Ziza Lou. "
I tried my best, but there was nothing to change Ziza Lou's expression.
And Ziza Lou continued her words with the same tone.
"I am the next chief.Unless I return my soul before my father, it has been decided that I will be the next chief.Therefore, I must determine the fate of the forest with the same severity as the current chiefs.I want you to understand that, too. "
"Yes, I understand that."
"I see... let's move on to the next story."
Ziza Lou has been coming towards me for a long time.
Reflexively trying to back off, I'm almost ready to be beaten, and I'll try to stay there.
At the tip of my nose, Jiza-Lou protruded his right hand.
On that large palm was a tooth of a gibbon.
"Asta of Fa's house. You've given my partner and child an irreplaceable peace of mind with delicious food.I want you to bless me for what I did. "
I'm so gloomy.
"Eh... but aren't you mad at me for what I did...?"
"I wasn't angry, I saw your presence as dangerous as the next chief.There is no lie in that mood. "
Giza Lou said so, with the tone unchanged.
"But... apart from that, I'm Saty Ray's partner and your parent.They are probably in the hardest time ever.I am sincerely grateful to you for giving me peace of mind.I would like to congratulate you not as the eldest brother of the Lou family, Jiza-Lou, but as a person with a partner and child. "
I was about to lose my nerves with a surprise stroke that I inherited.
I pinch my white teeth from the palm of Jiza-Lou with half my own loss.
"Ah, thank you. Are you sure... you don't mind if I take it?"
"Hmm," nodded Ziza Lou.
"Aster, I'm watching what you do.That's why you should behave yourself. "
"Eh? What does that mean...?"
"If you go the wrong way, I'll take care of this.If you were to destroy the forest... before that, I would slay you. "
With a smiling face, Ziza Lou said so.
"So you don't have to worry about anything.You'll never end up in a situation where the woods are destroyed.With that in mind, I want my heart to live properly in the future. "
That being said, Ziza-Lou returned the snare.
But in three steps, he stopped and looked back at us with his face alone.
"... Aster, is this how you got your thirteenth blessing?"
"Yeah, yeah, that's what happens."
So, one more bottle?
"One more?" I leaned my head.
Jiza-Lou smiles and laughs while showing me her face.
It's Rudy.
So now Ziza-Lou left the scene.
I think I've been standing there for a long time.
It was Ai-Fa who rushed me back from the sparkling square.
"Aster, how long have you been so stunned?I wonder if Ziza Lou imitated something? "
Ai-Fa was sweating like she was wearing water, and she was dripping from her smooth cheeks and lower jaw.
"No, no, I'm fine... is Ai-Fa okay?"
"This looks like you'll lose more than twice as much health.Don't let the hardships of Shin-Lou and the others, who were wearing armor and so on, be lost. "
As I took off my chest fasteners and opened my mouth, Ey-Fa said so.
"So, what happened to you?What was Ziza Lou talking about? "
"Uh-huh. Did I tell Dari-Sauti what Giza Lou and I were talking about?"
"Yes, I could see you from the square.So Jiza-Lou left, but you've been stunned forever, so I thought you'd come and see what's going on. "
Eye Fa kept an eye on my behavior while comparing my abilities.
When I laughed inadvertently, Ey-Fa instantly turned her eyebrows upside down.
"What are you laughing at?Don't worry about people! "
"I'm sorry. That's how Ey-Fa kept an eye on me all the time."
And Jiza-Lou has been watching me for the last two years or so.You know, with thin eyes like a thread.
"Actually, I finally got a blessing from Ziza Lou."
"Oh, I see!"
"So, if I was poisoned by the woods, I'd slash them."
"... oh, really?"
"Yes, that's how I shook my heart."
Ai Fa became the top of the Buddha, but I was finally able to give myself a sunny feeling.
That strict Ziza-Lou told me to live with my heart.If this happens, I'll try to stop you even if your hands get dirty, so you can live in your heart.
(Jiza-Lou kept an eye on me with such readiness.)
With that in mind, I laughed at Ai-Fa.
Ey-Fa's lips are getting more and more swollen.
"Why are you laughing at me like that when I'm told to slash you?"
"It's complicated.I'll explain it all tomorrow night, so I want you to share this feeling with Ey-Fa. "
"... if you can laugh like that, I'm sure it's not a bad feeling."
Eye Fa also put her lips back in place and smiled.
"And Ziza Lou, who made you feel that way, is no offense at all.If Ziza Lou was so upset on the day of the celebration, I'm so sorry. "
"Yeah, it's the first day Jiza-Lou's ever been brave enough to defeat his father."
Neither Sati Ray-Lou nor Kota-Lou have seen it with their own eyes.
But I'm sure I can share the joy more than anyone else.If Ziza Lou were happy, Sati Ray-Lou and Kota Lou would have been given the same level of happiness.
I took off my necklace and passed the thirteenth blessing there.
Whether or not I can pass the fourteenth blessing there is up to me in the future.
If Ziza Lou is watching with great readiness, I would like to follow the same path with the same readiness.
With that in mind, I laughed at Ai-Fa.
Ey-Fa also looked at me with a gentle smile.
From the square, there is still no sign of the heat and cheer.
Once again, I could carve the joy of today into my chest.
