"Let's start with the damage caused by Hida from a close point." I haven't had any special reports from any of my clans in the last few days, but has anything unexpected happened? ”
For a moment there was no one to speak up.
"Well then," said Dalí-Saudi, raising his hand.
"I think the approximate story has been passed on to all the clans, but once again, let's clear up the damage to our hunting ground." Souti's hunting ground in the south will be the most severely damaged. "
According to Dalí-Sauthi, many patriarchs were correct in their domicile. How much Mother Forest has been damaged is a story that weighs as much as family life for the people around the forest.
"Soutie is made up of six clans, of which Faye and Tamur will have settlements and hunting grounds at the southern end. I checked it with my own eyes, but I think your hunting ground is about 20% lost."
"Twenty percent?" the young head of Ratz raised his voice.
"What do you mean, 20% of the hunting ground has been lost?" Doesn't that just mean you've eaten up the blessings of the forest? "
"The grace of the hunting ground is about four months or half a year, and it is something that is eaten up by Giba." We're not going to lose the hunting ground.... the hunting grounds of Faye and Tamur were devoured with no grass left. It seems that the trees that have lost all their grass leaves will stand still and perish. "
There were signs of anger on the spot, and I accidentally shrugged my head. The anger was manifested by the parents and children of the most selected hunters around the forest. It felt like the air had instantly boiled, even without the person who screamed angrily.
"I heard that there was such damage to your hunting ground, but I can't believe 20%... is that a definite number?"
"I'm going to see it for myself so as not to invite unnecessary anger and confusion." Absolutely terrible, but it shouldn't have reached 30%. "
"That's right," Graf = Zaza was the one who raised his voice full of pressure.
"We Zaza's blood family, many of whom are going to take care of Hida in the hunting grounds of Souti's blood family." There is no exaggeration in Dalí-Sauthi's words. In a certain place, the whole grass was eaten up to a distance that could not be reached even if arrows were shot in all directions, and the ground that had been stripped out and the leafless trees were exposed. "
The wave of indignation is increasing. The anger of the huntsmen swirled in the air, so much so that it seemed that the temperature had risen by about two degrees.
"Even if you refuse, the Evil God Order is an unforgivable existence." I sincerely regret that I was able to defeat it. "
Bardou-Fou said so in a relatively sedentary voice.
"And it was about Faye and Tamur's hunting ground." What about the other Sauti hunting grounds? "
"I wonder if Sautee and Vera have 10% of the hunting grounds, and Dawn and Dada are less than that." Without the dedication of Zaza's bloodline, we might have suffered the same damage ”.
I see. So if there's damage to the hunting ground, it could have an impact on Giba's harvest.
"Hmm. We'll just have to take a little longer to figure out which will have which impact." If the impact is too great, we have to expand the hunting ground deeper or have either Faye or Tamur open up new settlements and hunting grounds. ”
Having said that, Dali-Sauthi smiled slowly.
"However, Luu's bloodline was cut open even further north than Luu's village, so we won't stretch our legs that far." Donda = Luu asked me in advance, so I said so. I'll tell them that we don't need to worry about it, because we won't be able to have a hunting ground with Luu and Souti. ”
"Huh. You've already had that conversation?" That's a very thoughtful thing, isn't it? "
"Hmm. If we keep in touch, we can avoid unnecessary fights." We, the chieftains, should set the standard. "
Then Ghazlan-Rutim said, "Would you mind?"
“This may be premature, but I'd like to share it with you in the meantime. … if the trees are really going to vanish over a wide area, I think we need to be careful during the rainy season.”
"Rainy season? What's that like?"
"Yes, I heard about this once in the castle town... the forest seems to be rugged, as many trees are rooted." However, if the trees are dead, the ground may become loose and during the rainy season there may be dangers such as landslides. ”
"Wait," exclaimed Jean's patriarch, wearing a fur.
"Did you just say castle town?" However, since the blue moon, I have never been to the castle town except for the meeting. "
“Yes, it was a long time ago.”
“How did it happen when Hida hadn't been damaged by then?”
“I always wondered why the trees on the edge of the forest that stretched between the village and the town weren't cut down. We could have built a wall to protect Dalai Mu faster by using your trees, and we realized that the people of the town and the people around the forest hadn't been isolated until this time.”
With a very gentle face, Ghazlan-Rutim repeated his words like that.
“When I asked all the nobles about it, I could tell the story. There is no danger because the forestside village is opened by choosing a flat place, but since the edge of the forest that extends between the town and the forest is a slope, if you cut down the trees too much, there is a risk of landslide damage. So, I thought that the hunting ground is not always flat, so depending on the terrain, there may be a risk of landslides.”
"Ghazlan-Rutim is often invited to the feast of the castle town, but are you interested in such a story with the nobles? You're a hard worker!"
And it was Lau-Ray who laughed.
However, many of the other patriarchs were impressed by the wind. That is how Ghazlan-Rutim has accumulated knowledge since peacetime. I was impressed, too, and as proud as it was of Ghazlan-Rutim's ingenuity.
"Got it. Let's keep Ghazlan-Rutim's words in our hearts."...... So did Faye and Tamuru's parents? "
“Um, I think I'll just keep it on my chest until the next rainy season.”
Dali-Sauthi nodded deeply and turned to Donda-Roux.
"That's all from Sautee." Ask for Progression "
Well then, let's have Die's parents report it to us.
Since then, damage to the hunting ground has been reported from the south side in turn.
After all, as we head north, the degree of damage decreases. Besides, the number of gibbs in any hunting ground was calm.
It seems that the violent Mundt has completely frowned too.
"Hmm. In our hunting ground, we will find several bodies of Mundt that contain parasites." It was probably attacked by the hungry Giba and fought back. There were scratches on the corpse that seemed to be the horns of Giba. "
"Speaking of which, Gibba, who was the first to be found inhabiting the parasite, was discovered here." It was said that there would be no problem even if I ate the meat, but because it was thin and creepy, I decided to return it to the forest. "
The important stories are spoken through Totos' contact network, but I still can't hear the details unless I actually meet with them. I was able to hear those reports with great interest.
"With regard to the damage caused by Hida, is this the case?" Now, as for the story about the Evil God Church...... how is my youngest sister? "
While I was taking a small breath, Sun's patriarch spoke quietly.
"As I told you before, my ability to read stars seems to have improved a lot, but I can spend time without any particular problems." It's probably thanks to a daughter named Alyshna. "
"I see. Because we are not familiar with star reading, it is difficult to grasp the actual situation." I would like to hear the words directly from the person here, but do you have any parents who have objections? "
Although there were no dissidents, there were not many people who showed confused faces.
I didn't think that Klua-Sun himself would be convened here, so I got nervous. However, Ei = Fa noticed it and whispered "Don't worry".
"There can't be people around the forest who avoid Klua-Sun." You should keep quiet and watch. "
I said, "Yeah," but it was hard to get rid of all the tension.
In this way, Klua-Sun is brought to the sacrifice hall by the men of Sun. She bowed with a very quiet face, who was supposed to be encouraging her work.
"My name is Klua-Sun, Sung's youngest sister. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience this has caused.”
"Nothing is your fault."... how does Alyshna's daughter talk about you? "
"Yes, I have the power to read the stars from a small place, but if you keep your mind calm, you won't have to worry about anything."
So, if you disturb your mind, you're going to have a problem?
It was Day = Lavitz who raised his voice like that.
Klua-Sun smiles as she turns her silver-gray eyes toward you and says, "Yes."
“But it's just that I suffer, and it's not something that would bother other people.”
“What's so painful? Do you mean that you can see the end of the world on your own?"
"I was able to predict the arrival of Hida because the witchcraft of the Evil God Order greatly disturbed the star map, so it was the result of the wave. Originally, I didn't have the technology to read stars even if I could see them... so no matter what kind of movement I see, I can hardly extract that meaning.”
So, what's so painful about it?
"It's... difficult to explain in words, but... can you feel the wave of power that doesn't make sense at all, and feel terrified...?"
"I don't know what that means," said Day-Lavitz, shrugging his shoulders.
Then Lyerpham-Sudra shouted.
So what are you doing with Alyshna's daughter?
A slide that keeps the mind calm... and a slide that reads the movement of the stars
Are you trying to master the art of star reading?
"Yes, I'm never thinking of living as an astrologer... but rather than fearing without knowing what I mean, I want to let it sleep after knowing what I see correctly."
Lyerfam-Sudra stared at Klua-Sun's gentle face for a moment and then nodded, “I see.”
"After all, I don't understand half of what you're saying... but if you're not suffering, I don't know what to say"
“Thank you. Sudra's parents' words have given me great courage.”
That's probably the day that Chill-Rim was invited to the forest. When it was revealed that Klua-Sun was equipped with the power of star-reading, Lyerfam-Sudra said, "There are no humans around the forest who would evade you."
"As previously communicated, it is forbidden to talk outside the forest about the power of Sun's youngest sister's star reading." This is a precautionary measure not to attract the interest of the other factions of the Evil God sect, and we will never be allowed to break it. ”
And with such words of Donda-luu, the curtain was drawn.
Klua-Sun bows and leaves, and I breathe a sigh of relief.
"So, next... let's clear up the story about the hound." Schmiral-Lillin, over here. "
Shmiral Lilin, who had stayed behind Gillan-Lilin, once again advanced to Donda-Lulu.
"Since Schmiral-Lillin is the most obsessed with hounds around the forest, I would like to hear the words here. First of all, I have to tell you about the hound's companion...... 10 days after I took custody of the female dog, is there any family member that had any problems?"
There was no one to return the word.
Donda = Luu nodded and glanced at Shmiral = Lilin.
“There are only about 20 days left for a female dog, a family member from the forest, to meet or not, to determine. After about 20 days, the hound pedestrian, to hear this reply, will come to Genos. If you buy it officially, you'll need copper.”
That's half the value of a hound, right?
"Yes, the value of the hounds, 65 copper coins, the female dogs, 30 copper coins." However, it is said that if you buy all ten of them, you will get a 10% discount. "
If it is 30 copper coins, it is about 60,000 yen in my sense. Even if you get a 10% discount, it will never be a cheap purchase.
However, the essence of the problem was somewhere else.
"It's customary for a female dog to have one birth, three or four children, and then repeat it twice. If you get a female dog, you get six or eight, and you get a child dog, which is a very expensive calculation. I guess... it's only possible for the people around the forest to train themselves, the hounds. Because it is skilful to connect the hearts of the people and beasts on the edge of the forest. If so, in the future, I think it would be a great profit to have a hound, a bitch, a dog in my hands, because I no longer need to buy it."
With a calm voice, Shmiral-Lilin said so.
"However... Asta in Fa's house raised the issue. If you give all the hounds, all the companions, you give them too many. At the moment, there are more than 100 hounds, so we estimate at least 300 hounds for one birth, and 600 hounds for two births. Parents, if you put it together, it's 800."
Yo-yo, yo-yo, yo-yo. It's still easy to experience the immense beauty when you put it in numbers.
"And if you were 600 puppies, male and female, and half of them, you would get 300 female puppies, one delivery, 900 puppies, two deliveries, 1800 puppies. If you add the parent, the parent, it's 2600 head. If everything goes well, that number will be within ten years."
So Schmiral-Lillin gave a soft smile.
"Of course, not every birth is going to work. Even if you have three children, even if you are born, you will be able to return your soul at a young age. On the contrary, all dogs, four of them, have children, all of them, can grow up healthy. In that case, there will be more.”
"In less than ten years, 2600 of them." It's certainly not a laughable number. "
While speaking like that, Dalí-Sauthi smiled at them.
“So, if we're going to take the dogs away, then the pedestrians are going to take them away, right?”
“Yes, pedestrians, strong dogs around the forest, expect to be born. That's why you must have thought of selling it to the bitch, the forest side. However, Ryada = Luu told me that she wanted to see the hound's happiness, not just her intention."
“Yeah, I heard about your father, Sin-Lou.... so we have to figure out what to give the hound.”
"Hmm. The story has already reached all the clans." I didn't tell you the details of the numbers, but I was told to summarize the opinions of blood relatives. "
The facilitator Donda-Lou looked around at the parents with a powerful gaze.
"I think there are three ways." Give all hounds a mate and hand over the child's dogs to the pedestrians. Alternatively, accept only ten babies this time around, and raise all the babies by the forest. Or you don't give hounds company. "
"Hmm. Surely they have turned around such words." By the way, if I only accepted 10 heads, how many would that be? "
Schmiral-Lillin nods "Yes" to Dari-Sauthi's question.
"Female dogs, ten, twice, sixty. If you had a second generation, one hundred and eighty. Five to ten years, all generations, total, 350."
“I see. Any number of them looks like they're going to be raised without any problems.”
"Yes, but if you gave birth to a third generation, 540. If you gave birth to a fourth generation, 1620. Within 20 years, you only have children, that's the number."
"Wahahaha! It was Lau-Ray who laughed."
"Well then, that's the same thing!" It is not uncommon for humans to have about six children, but since they will be able to give birth in five years or so, the number will increase sooner than humans! "
"Yes. Moreover, Jagal's dog, from the age of two, can give birth. Now, all the female dogs in my custody are two years old, and I've heard about giving birth twice, doing it, as usual, from the age of two to five."
"Akatsura will become an adult in just two years!"... well, if it takes only 10 years to get your soul back, isn't that even strange? "
Lau-Ray said in a strangely stingy tone.
And then again, I raise my voice full of energy. Since Dan-Rutim was not seated this time, it seemed as if he was making a scene until that minute.
"If you can only live for a shorter time than humans, then you have no choice but to give them lots of love!" It's Donda-Lou! My thoughts are exactly as I told you before! "
"We're going to discuss it together now." You must learn the rituals of the Parent Council. "
And, after a glimpse of the usual texts, Donda-Lou looked around again at the parents.
"First, let's ask 10 parents of the parent muscle about the opinions of their blood relatives." I would like to hear your honest opinions without questioning the other parents' complexion. First of all, the family that thought that all hounds should be given a companion-- "
And in response to Donda = Luu's voice, Ai = Fa tried to raise her hand, but before that, she said, "Wait!" There was one who spoke up.
He was a young patriarch of Ratz, who had such a generous temper that he could play a good match with Rau-Ray.
"I changed my mind when I was told what I said!" Unless we discuss it further with the parents of the family, we will not be able to express our common will! "
"Hmm? What do you mean you've changed your mind?" There shouldn't have been any new stories. "
"That's not going to happen!" I didn't feel comfortable sending my child to Jagal, so I thought I should take back only ten of them this time! However, if it still turns out to be quite a few, it will only put the problem ahead of us! "
"I was thinking the same thing," said one of them, raising his hand. This is also Dana, who is so young that she can't beat Ratz's patriarch. Compared to the power of Zaza's Harvest Festival, he was a young but outstanding hunter who had become a hero in three kinds of competitions.
"Graf = Zaza. I would have said the same thing about Ratz's patriarch, but I have to withdraw it. I thought I should only pick up ten female dogs if I could raise all of them in the woods."
"Hmm. But it seemed that the only thing that would increase to that number was the generations of our great-grandchildren."
Graph = Zaza turned to her wild eyes, and Dana's patriarch responded with an enthusiastic look.
"Still, if it's only 20 years later, we can't overlook it."... no, if it was 30 or 40 years later, it would be even more troublesome. By that time, we might have returned our Nakinomi Souls or handed over our paternal seats to our own children. We don't want to put the problems ahead of us and push future parents into trouble. ”
"That's true," cried Baem's patriarch.
"Actually, we thought we should pick up only ten bitch first and see how it goes." However, if there are still too many hounds in your hand... there's no reason to force more than 90 hounds to be alone. That's too unexpected. "
“Hmm. I think so too,” agreed the next-door Dagora's parents.
Baym has only Dagora's family, so it's likely that this will bring together all the unanimity. However, Ratz and Dana could not do that, and there were many other parents who had a thoughtful face.
"... I thought it would be a hassle to pass on the fine numbers, but that seems to have been a misconception."
Eventually, Donda-Lou said so in a heavy voice.
"This is probably my fault for spinning the word first." However, from here on, it's only a matter of time before we gather the consensus of our bloodline. At this time, I would like to have each parent of the 37 families express their thoughts. "
"Hmm! I don't change my mind, so I don't care!"
Rau-Ray's cheerful words were silenced, and Donda-Roux spoke again.
"Well then, we'll take a decision." Parents who believe that all hounds should be accompanied, raise their hands. ”
This time, Ei = Fa raised her hand sharply.
I looked around - and I was not surprised. A lot of hands were stretched out there.
Donda-Lou, who raised her hand herself, turned her gaze silently and measured the number ─ ─ and suddenly took a deep breath.
"It seems that all the heads of the 37 clans are raising their hands." Just to be sure, are there any parents who have different opinions? "
There is no one to speak up.
Donda = Luu nodded in solemnity and lowered her hand.
"Now, put your hands down."... whether you're going to send a child you can't raise to the land of Jagal, you're going to mate with all the hounds. Is that all right with you? "
Yea, but in Pharaoh's house he desires to raise up his children unto himself, as long as he is worthy.
And Ai-Fa said unto him, Of course it shall be so, and Lau-Ray said joyfully.
"What do you look like, Ei = Fa?" I wonder if there are people around the forest who want to let go of their children. The parents of Ratz, Dana, and Baem thought that they should only keep ten heads because they wanted to avoid it. "
“Hmm. I'm glad to know that I wasn't alone in my misconceptions.”
Lau-Ray laughed cheerfully as Eifa replied with a soft look.
"It's only natural to think that dogs are such cute people!" I can't wait to see how adorable the dog babe looks! "
“Hmm. We thought it ridiculous to keep buying hounds from outside.”
And Day = Lavitz stopped talking, seemingly uninteresting.
"There are 65 copper coins for a hound, so if you can buy less than half a copper coin for a bitch who can give birth to many of them, you can't overlook them." I think you should learn how to raise hounds on your own no matter what. "
"I'm sure it's possible. If it's the people around the forest."
Schmiral-Lillin replied with a very soft smile.
As a result, ten female dogs were officially purchased, and it was decided that purchases would be processed for the remaining 90 or more.
