1115 Morning of departure

The next day, on the morning of the third day of the blue moon, 36 hunters gathered in Luwu's settlement.

The time is the third moment of the ascent. For the distant family of the house, the meeting time must have been set at a leisure. The huntsmen of Ai-Fa-Lu had already entered the forest.

The hunters gathered in Luu's village, all quietly exhilarating their fighting spirit.

There is no such thing as a person with a colour of anxiety on his face. As Donda-Ru said last night, she seemed to find a strong willingness to defeat the Evil God Sect with her own hands.

Not to mention that the Forest Hunter has unparalleled power, but it is the power to hunt Giba, and it is not trained to compete with humans. But they were deeply outraged by the vandalism of their mother's forest.

However, there weren't many people I knew well on the spot.

After all, it would be difficult for a family to send a patriarch or eldest brother on a mission to leave the forest for days. It seemed likely that the approximate clan had chosen a skilled hunter from among their sub-family.

With that in mind, I knew the names of Ghazlan-Rutim and Digdo-Ru-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o- However, there was no seemingly close relationship with Deal-Die, and it was just an impressive and unforgettable episode that he was once in love with Yamil-Ray and Vina-Ru-Lilyn. Although Joe = Lan and others had rare strengths in the division of the family, they were still considered too young, so they were not elected.

Then, I bid farewell to my few friends, Ghazlan-Rutim and Digd-Ruu - two unexpected people approached me.

“Asta, I'm glad I can say hello before you leave.”

"La, Lyerfam-Sudra? Is it true that Lyerfam-Sudra, the head of the main house, is going to march?"

"Hmm. I can't let men who haven't had a baby do this kind of work yet."

Having said that, Lyerfam-Sudra had a frown on her face like a child monkey.

"There's another man in Sudra who's getting old... but he was too young to do it, and his power was so damaged." In that case, I thought I should do my best. "

"And yet, I can't believe the head of the main house would accept such a dangerous job..."

"Until last year, all my houses were owned by the main house." Besides, it still takes a long time for Hodurail to grow up. Anyway, the next patriarch may be Chim, and one man will be in charge. "

Then the other person who was clinging to Lyerpham-Sudra shouted, "Hey, come on."

"Somehow, you're talking about swords." Of course, it will be a job of unparalleled difficulty, but are you going to scatter life in a foreign country? I didn't even think about going to such a cruel end like that. "

It was Ravitz's eldest brother.

Ravitz's eldest brother looked around at us with a sudden look of his own as he laughed with a bony face.

"Otherwise, will you take on such a job?" Whether I return my soul or my brother becomes a parent, there is no way I can return my soul outside the forest without my beloved companions and children. "

"La, you were chosen by your eldest brother in Ravitz." It seems that other members of the clan have been chosen..... "

"The person in the main house is responsible for the troublesome story, because it's Ravitz's custom." Well, the clans have their own ideas. Even Naham and Vin, who were family members, were chosen to split their family, but their father didn't complain at all. "

However, you've been chosen by your eldest brother instead of your younger brother.

As Gazlan-Rutim gently clutched his mouth, Ravitz's eldest brother raised the edge of his mouth more happily.

"That was until I followed the words of the elders to let out the hunters with arms." My brother has a sweet root, so it seems difficult to exert his true power outside the woods. As an older brother, I have no choice but to set an example. "

"You won the seat of valor at the Harvest Festival with Sun and Meem." I would be happy if you could accompany me as a powerful hunter. ”

"Fufu. You must be the hero of Luu's bloodline?" Besides, the chieftains' trust is strong, and they have a reputation for wisdom around the forest. "

"Speaking of wisdom, let's say Lyellpham-Sudra. I'm very pleased to be accompanying you.”

"I'm just the head of a small family that was on the verge of extinction." Well, no one seems to be as old as me, so I hope I can show the wisdom of a long-lived human being. "

Digdo-Lou looked around with interest at the figure of Lyerfam-Sudra and the others who talked like that. This is the most powerful hunter in the blood of Luu, a young man with an old wound to his whole body.

Gazlan-Rutim, Diggdo-Ruw, Lyerfam-Sudra, and Ravitz's eldest brother-all of them had different powers and charm, and were battle-scarred hunters. The same was true of the huntsmen around me, but it didn't seem to me that the presence of these four people stood out.

"...... I'm Rutim's patriarch, was it here?"

Then, a person with a presence that is no less than these four people approaches without sound. He was the head of Dom's sub-family, which played a significant role in the harvest festival in the northern settlement. There are many hunters in the northern village with great strength, so they missed the throne of heroes, but they are still given the throne of heroes when compared to the power of carrying goods. Dick = Dom had an unusual presence, with a massive body and a powerful force that could not be beaten.

And among them are two young hunters. One of them was wearing Gibba's fur on her head, while the other was exposing her sincerity.

“This is the eldest brother of the Zaza family and the eldest brother of the Souti family. From these two names, it seems that you and Luu's men will be consulted."

“Yes, what are you talking about?”

Gazlan-Rutim greeted him, and Sautti's young hunter began to speak.

"The 36 hunters gathered here were divided into three groups, each of whom was instructed to set up a captain." It was said that the role of the captain would be fine if it was accepted by the elders... but I and the men of Zaza have not inherited the patriarch's seat yet, so I lack the experience to lead people. Therefore, I think we should not be confined to the title of elders, but should give the role to someone with the appropriate power. "

"Hmm. Do you have any complaints about me accepting the title of Captain?"

Diggdo-Lou asked with an unbeatable smile, and the men of Souti nodded, "Of course."

"You don't seem to be the same age as us, but are you already the head of the hunter's family as a parent?" If you don't feel the burden of the role of Captain, I want you to accept it as it is. "

Ok, so you're going to let Dom take over instead of Zaza?

"Hmm. I'm the head of the family, just like you." So I want to leave the last one to Ghazlan-Rutim. Since you are the head of the main house, you will be most suitable for that role. "

"Dom, Ruu, and Rutim are going to take on the role of Captain?"...... I don't mind if I don't disagree with you, Sweety. "

"There can be no disagreement." Rather, I feel sorry for pressing on with the work I'm supposed to do. Sutti's bloodline needs to be incorporated into Rutim's patriarchal corps. "

“I see. We have to figure out which clan to divide into.”

Then Ghazlan-Rutim looked around at the hunters on the spot.

"Now then... I will propose that the blood of Fow, including Sudra, be incorporated into Dom's corps, and that the blood of Ravitz be incorporated into Lou's corps."

"Hmm? What's the meaning of that?"

“Sudra's hunters are already bonding because they often had the opportunity to work with Zaza's family at Sun's hunting ground. Din and Rid are also bonding, as they hold a Harvest Festival with Fow's bloodline. If these people become bridges, will they be able to quickly gather their minds even if they are not blood relatives?"

"So, what's Ravitz's bloodline?" Were there any ties between them and Luu's blood family? "

“No, I just thought that Ravitz's eldest brother and Diggdo-Lou could do more with their help.”

"Huh. I think you and I have hardly ever exchanged words." What on earth did you do to identify me as a human being? "

Ravitz's eldest brother looks up at Gazlan-Rutim with a sneering smile.

Gazlan-Rutim looked back at it with a refreshing smile.

"Your story has come from Asta before." When I saw you, it was the impression that Asta had told me. ”

"Oh, Asta, listen to my stories."

And, Ravitz's eldest brother came looking sideways, so I returned the smile. He was an unusual character, so he had the opportunity to chat with Ghazlan-Rutim at a previous Lu feast.

"After that... Sung is tied to Ravitz's blood family at the Harvest Festival, so I joined the Lu group." The Die's bloodline would have been related to the nearby Sauti, so it would have been part of Rutim's team. Because of the number of people, Ratz's blood family will become a group of Rutim... how about Baim's blood family as a group of Luu and Gaz's blood family as a group of Dom? "

"The number of Baim and Gaz's bloodline is no different." So why did you distribute them like that? ”

“At the feast of praise, we saw Baim and Ravitz's bloodline acting together. Is your bond being deepened?”

In response to Gazlan-Rutim's inquiry, Ravitz's eldest brother snorted, "Fufu."

"That's not exactly the kind of story we're going to talk about here." However, I have no objection to being in the same family as Baem. "

"Well, let me sort it out." The family of Leu, excluding Rutim, and the blood of Ravitz and Baym. And Sung's house. And Dom's companion was the family of Zaza, and the blood of Fou and Gaz. Rutim's team is a blood group of Soutie, Die, and Ratz.... now there are twelve of them? "

“Yes, I'm sure.”

"That's how many of my other clan members are in my head."... well, it doesn't matter what face you have as long as you have the right number of people. Before the pickup car arrives, we should get together with the same group of hunters. "

Since the hunter grouping has begun, I have been ejected as an outsider.

I sneakily sigh as I follow the figure of Gazlan-Rutim and Lyerfam-Sudra from outside the manhole. I'm not worried about the look on my face - I can't help but worry about it, because I'm going to walk into Jagal's territory and decide between the Evil God sect and the females with terrible powers.

(I'm sure that Ghazlan-Lutim and the others will beat any kind of bad luck... but I can't help but pray that you'll be safe for days apart.)

Around the square, Luu's ladies, who were wearing Hida Dodge rain gear, also watched the hunters. Especially Diggdo = Luu's family would feel more stuck than I do.

In the meantime, the sachi on Jilbe's back cried out in a short voice.

When I asked if the Totos car had arrived, I flew my gaze to the entrance of the village - and it was the men from the forestside across Totos who appeared there.

"I'm sorry I'm late. I'm Sung's eldest brother."

While calling himself so, the men jumped out of Totos in a flutter.

Then, the figure of Klua-Sun behind her was revealed. I'm going to rush up to you. [M]

"Ku, Klua-Sun! Are you going to accompany me?"

"Yes, I was invited by Alishna."

Kurua-Sun, who stood on the ground with her brother's help, stared back at me with a fierce smile.

The matter has been circulated to all the clans. Alishna was supposed to accompany her on this expedition, but surprisingly she was invited to accompany Klua-Sun.

"If I felt that the disturbance in the star map would be corrected in a close place, it might help me control my power." Then... I think I should accompany you. "

Well, but it's a dangerous expedition to the home of the Evil God Order.

"Yes, but if Alishna accepts to accompany you... I'd like to apprentice her." Alyshna and the others will set foot in the land of Jagal, a hostile state. ”

Having said that, Klua-Sun smiled again.

Like a small flower blooming beneath the moon, it was a fierce smile -- it was somewhat mysterious, and I couldn't help but dream that if Alyshna smiled, it would make me look like this.

"I have received a strange power, but as a people around the forest - no, I want to live properly as a single person." To do that, I think we should correctly control the power of Hoshimi. ”

"You're going to accompany me, too." If Soong's parents admit it, there's no reason to tell us. "

And the men of Dom said so, and looked toward the entrance.

"It looks like the Totos car that picked you up has also arrived. Let's get rid of Totos and let Sun's eldest brother join Lu's team.... your job is not to escort my sister, but to crush the Evil God sect."

"Yes, I know," said Sun's eldest brother, leaning back, and placing his hand on Klua-Sun's slim shoulder.

"I'll do my job." Since you've set your own path, you're never going to break it. "

“Yes, I will do my best not to be ashamed as Sung's family.”

Kurua-Sun finally smiled at me and then left with her brother to Diggdo-Lou.

Ghazlan = Rutim approaches as I finally see off his back in a stuck up mood.

"It seems that Klua-Sun has been able to consolidate her mind." A man who tries to walk the right path will not be abandoned to the forest of his Mother. Please wait for our return with Mother Forest. ”

"Yes, but I... can't stop worrying."

"It's the same when you send Ei = Fa out to the forest, right?" The women on the edge of the forest are worried about their family, but they have strong feelings and wait for a safe return. You don't have to be ashamed of yourself because it's only natural to be worried. ”

So Gazlan-Rutim, like his eldest brother, laid a warm hand on my shoulder.

“And this is how you think about it. If Asta were in our shoes - or Klua-Sun's - would you hesitate to leave the forest? If you are as brave as Asta, you will throw yourself into the same fate.”

"That's... I don't know." I can't even imagine it. ”

“I take great pride in saving the forest and the fate of Genos with this hand. It would be the same for the other hunters. Usually, it's no different from dedicating yourself to the work of hunting gibbons. No matter how dangerous the work, the presence of those who are proud and loved can help us.”

Having said that, Ghazlan-Rutim smiled at me with a gentle face.

“I don't want to lose Asta. But if I return my soul, I will never be able to meet Asta again. In that case, the desire to get along with Asta again will also help me. Believe in the love I feel for Asta.”

"... I've never doubted that before."

When I responded with a laughing face, Ghazlan-Rutim encouraged me with a strong force before pulling back.

"Asta, please be careful." I want you to feel strong and overcome this misery. ”

So Gazlan-Rutim and the others boarded the picked-up Totos and departed.

It's a long, long journey to crush the Order of the Evil Gods. With all my heart, when I saw him off - somehow someone like a samurai from the castle town who stayed here approached me and made Sachi growl.

"Excuse me. As the messenger of Lord Melfried, the junior officer has just spoken to Lord Asta of the House of Fa and Lord Donda-Lou's companion... would it be all right if I approached you?"

"Yes, it's okay, Sachi, this guy is on our side."

When I stroked Sachi's throat and shut him up, the person seemed relieved and came closer. He is still a young young martial arts officer with a rude and sincere appearance.

And from the wall, Mother Meir Ray, who was wearing rain gear, came forward. Someone must have told us about our exchange.

"Are you the emissary from the castle town again?" Thank you for your hard work every day. "

"I'm sorry, sir... I have a request from Lord Melfried to the people around the forest, so I'd like to hear it from you."

Shortly after the huntsmen left the army, what kind of a request did they have this time, that we were waiting for them in a strange place? - The person said something really unexpected.

"The people around the forest are currently closed for business in the station town. I'm sure you'll be able to reopen it tomorrow - this is a request from Lord Melfried.”

"Do you want to do business at the stall? Why do the people in the castle town bring such a story to us?"

"Yes, since the attack on Hida the other day, the shadow of anxiety has fallen in the station town." It seems that the intention of this request is to have the forest people wipe it out. "

It is an explanation that does not get the guidelines anyway. I wonder if she had the same impression, or if Mother Meer Ray had a wild face.

"I'm not sure. During last year's earthquake, we were asked to put out a stall. It was supposed to be a job of cooking for those who lost their wealth. It wasn't the station town that lost wealth in this commotion, but the people of Dalai Mu, right?"

“Yes, there are no fields in the town, so the damage is only to those who were injured when they fled. However, since this uproar was a conspiracy by the Evil God Order and it was known that the crusade would take several days, a huge shadow of anxiety was cast down on the station town. I would like to ask for the help of the people around the forest to wipe it out.”

"I knew it, I don't know." What will happen if we put out the stall? "

"It seems that Lord Melfried thinks that the people of the post town and the people staying there can be energized by the mere appearance of the people around the forest..."

Having said that, the person unexpectedly spilled a familiar smile.

"On the other hand, if people around the forest don't show their faces, it will increase their anxiety." The more brave the families of the people around the forest gave up their stall business, the more serious the disaster was...... the people around the forest had only suspended their stall business for a day, and such voices were already spreading to the station town. "

"Well, it's actually a serious story." That's why the men couldn't go out into the woods and serve as escorts, so they had no choice but to stop at the stalls. ”

"When it comes to getting to and from the station town and guarding during commerce, we have to send out personnel from the protection militia. Besides, Hida is not directly harmful to humans, so it is possible for the soldiers of the Guardian Militia to act as a guard.”

"Aren't the soldiers too fussy about killing Hida?" And there's going to be a lot of people leaving Genos. "

"When it comes to Hida attacking Hatake, we have already finished the extermination. If it's flat, it's not that much of a pest. We are working on countermeasures for those hidden in the bush, but please consider that the field is well protected."

”... I'm told not to use ingredients in vain because Dalaym will be attacked and vegetables and poitans will be scarce.”

“The only ingredients that will be lacking in the future are crops that were harvested in Dalaym. Please refer to the Memorandum of Understanding received from Mr. Porarth."

A man of the messenger hands me a piece of paper. Even I, who didn't spend much time learning the characters, could read them, and the names of familiar vegetables were listed there.

“If you avoid the crops listed there, feel free to use any of the ingredients. Especially when it comes to the ingredients that we buy from Jagal, we have been able to procure a sufficient amount thanks to the efforts of His Highness Dakarmas.”

Whatever suspicions we raise, we get a clear answer right away. So, Mother Meir Ray smiled bitterly at the thoughtfulness.

"All right. It's the chiefs who decide everything." I'll tell you everything I know... but can you tell me more about how important this job is? "

"Yes, the people on the edge of the forest have been able to become a symbol of the vibrancy of the station town for the past two years or so. If the people around the forest are going to close their stalls for a long time, the outpatients may be more worried and hesitate to stay in Genos. Without succumbing to the tyrannical actions of the Order of the Evil Gods, I was begging you to help support Genos...... Lord Melfried."

I see. You look like you're close to Melfried.

"The junior officer is a guard under Lord Melfried's direct command." On the day I left, I was given the role of touring the shopping district of the castle town in order to show you Lord Tour-Din. ”

I'm sure that was when Odifia was struck by the rainy season. To find the right container for the chocolate parfait, Tour-Din was to tour the shopping district of the castle town.

"Yeah, I'll be sure to tell you exactly what you said." The rest depends on the chiefs. "

"Thank you very much." I'll be back tomorrow morning. "

Then the martial artist's youth also left in the Totos car.

Meer Ray's mom takes a breath and turns to me.

"If the chiefs forgive me, Reina will jump up and rejoice... but what does Asta think?"

"I'm the same as Reina = Luu." I can't help you at this difficult time... so I'd be glad if I could be of some help. "

"That's right. I feel the same way about my roots."... but I'm not involved in the stall business, so I can't help you at all. "

Saying that, Mother Meir Ray laughed loudly.

"But it's our job to protect the house." Preparing a fine dinner for the men who do the hard work is also a fine job.... well then, let's go home. "

"Yes," I said, looking up at the sky peeking into the gap in the forest.

The sky of Genos is still blue and clear today. Already, Genos was deeply damaged by the conspiracy of the Order of the Evil Gods - but to my surprise, this place was unrelated to the commotion.

However, in the woods, the hunters are dawned on Hida, and in the south of Dalaym, the people who have eaten the crops of the fields are in mourning. Mulstein, Melfried, and Polar Earth were all supposed to be on the run to keep Genos safe.

(Definitely give in to those who imitate such evil.)

If I weren't a hunter, I wouldn't be able to wield a sword.

Compared to the Ai-Fa who had been in the woods since the morning and the Ghazran-Rutim who were to be sent out, it was a tiny thing to cry about - but I wanted to do my best for the people who lived in the same genocide land.

"...... I may have to struggle again, but thank you."

When I called out to her like that, Sachi grunted, "Naw," and Jilbe gladly said, "Woah!” he barked.

With such a reliable family, I decided to aim for the Ru main house's Kamado hut.
