1161 Farewell feast ③ ~ Luxurious time ~

"This time, too, I and Ei = Fa will take on the role of guides." Shall we go around Kamado now? "

When I told him that, he shook his head sideways and said, "No."

“I heard that guests at the feast on the edge of the forest are the ones who stay on the rug for a while and spend time with the people who are responsible. It would be very difficult for all 20 of them to be present, so I think we should follow the same practice as Ardath and Maiton alone.”

"Oh, is that so?" It wasn't originally a custom even for outpatient guests, so it wasn't strictly arranged so far.... "

"It's okay." We thought we'd like to taste the customs of the forestside. "

Ardath said so, and Maiton followed him with a smile.

"Besides, there are other aspects that you can talk more carefully if you sit on your hips, right?" I don't care if you make a fool of yourself later. "

"That's why we don't need a guide." You can enjoy the feast as much as you like. "

Hey, you delivered such a word, so now it was my turn to return "no".

"If that's the case, we'll give it to you." Me and Ei = Fa are also in charge, and if you can talk to them carefully, that's the best thing to do. "

"Hmm. It's a drunken thing," said the Buddha on the top, "but I didn't miss the gladly narrowing of your eyes."

In addition to the architects, 17 people were guided to the square, divided into several people. The enthusiasm and vitality of the people on the edge of the forest was overwhelming, and by that time they were smiling back.

So when we tried to aim for the rug on which Donda = Luu and the others sat, there was one who called out "Oh, hey". Someone thought that Rudo-Ruu had been followed by guests who were late.

"Dial and Lavis have finally arrived." It's almost time to say hello. "

"I'm sorry I'm late!" I can't round up the deal! I managed to get out of the castle as soon as I was able to close it! "

While bowing her head in apologies, Dialle was burning her cheeks like a child. I am sure that when I arrived here, I was filled with enthusiasm for the feast. All over, Lavis tightened his expression hard, and it was like pushing his heart to death.

Dials were also at the last farewell party, so they were also incorporated into the attendees this time. However, it was said that the arrival might be delayed because there was an inevitable business meeting.

"Besides, the road connecting the town to the forest side has become completely dark!" The people around the forest can often move a nice car even in such darkness! When did Lavis want Totos to go into the woods, and I stayed shy! "

"Just say hello to your dad." Today's feast is a partition between Lu and Fa. "

Therefore, we decided to aim for the rug as a group with Dial and Lavis added.

Donda-Lou, who was tilting the bottle of fruit wine, nicknamed the Dials with his shimmering eyes.

"You've finally arrived." I have informed all the clans about you, so enjoy the feast as it is. "

"Huh? Don't you want us to say hello?"

"...... If there's any way to keep this fuss at bay, you can do whatever you want."

Dialle was not pressured by Donda-Ru and said, "Yes!” He nodded vigorously.

Well then, let's give it a try!... erm, isn't it something like a platform? "

"I haven't even teamed up today." Isn't it okay if I have Lavis do a shoulder drive? "

Rud-Lou's suggestion was, "Huh?” Dialle dyed her white cheeks even more red as she raised her voice in an unhappy voice.

"Yeah, but, well, I can't help it."...... Lavis, can you do me a favor? "

Lavis broke his knee in front of Dial in silence.

Dial was a little stubborn, and then decided to span Lavis' sturdy shoulders. Lavis, who was about the size of a tall man, but with a southern-folk-like skeleton, woke up without any pain.

Dialle, who had reached the highest point, inhaled the air in his chest with a technique similar to the one just now, and let out a surprisingly loud voice.

"I'm sorry I had so much fun!" It's Dial and Lavis from Zeland's Ironmonger! I've had a hard time at work and I'm late! ”

As if the ripples were spreading, the silence spread over the square.

Trying to chase it, Dialle raised his voice even further.

"As you've already heard, Lavis and I have been allowed to attend today's feast because of the goodwill of the same people in the South!" I'm so happy to be invited to such a splendid feast! I brought fruit wine with me, so please don't hesitate to drink it! "

When some men cheered with excitement, enthusiasm and vitality reverberated in the square.

Dial takes a breath and then taps Lavis' head.

"That's enough, too!" If you let me down quickly! "

Then Dialle landed on the ground and shook her head with a red face.

"It looks like you managed to deliver the greeting."...... ah, I brought you banana white fruit wine, so if you get tired of red fruit wine, please enjoy it. "

When Dial smiled again, Donda-Lou snorted, "Hmph." There was no change in the heavy expression, but Dial's cheerfulness seemed to make him quite happy.

"Thank you for your generosity."... then you can behave as you please. Do you need a guide? "

Guide? What about the Barrangs?

"We're going to take care of our rugs for a while."

Well then, I'd like you to join us!

So we all broke our knees on the spot.

Originally, you were sitting there with the faces of Donda-Lou, Dari-Souti, Georgian-Zaza, Granny Ziba, and Mother Meir Ray. There were five guests there, and I and Ei = Fa were going to join them.

"I didn't have a deep bond with you." After I greet you on behalf of the sheikh, I will give up my seat to another person soon. "

Having said that, Georg-Zaza delivered an unstoppable smile to the maids. And it was Ardath who gave me a big smile.

"Well, I guess it was Georg = Zaza." I remember you greeted me at last year's feast and Easter, and I greeted you at the feast of praise. You don't have to be afraid of anything. "

"That's right. If you're not close enough, it's a feast to deepen it, right?" Let's have a good drink while talking to your heart's content. "

Maiton laughed a little bit too. His eyes quickly moved to Grandmother Ziva.

"With this two-and-a-half moon, the Luu family was also disturbed a bit." It would be a pleasure to have another feast with the eldest. ”

"Ah... Easter was fun... will you bring your family again next Easter...?"

"I would definitely like to do that." I'll try to set you on fire again. "

Hey, that guy's sipping fruit wine next to me. In a place like this, he is a person who doesn't try to make much of a mess.

Mother Meer Ray, who was standing next to Granny Ziba, pointed with a smile at the wooden plates lined up on the rug.

"Well, if you're done greeting me, eat it." We should be able to deliver more and more dishes. "

While we were talking, we already had some food delivered to us. Maiton and Dial gladly glanced at you.

"This is it!" Asta's got a medal for cooking! Did you bother to prepare it for the others? "

“Yes, a lot of people asked for it.”

"Huh! I've never seen this dish before!" Wasn't Balan and Ardath the only people at the tasting? Have you ever eaten this before? "

"Oh, on the day you were invited to the Fa's dinner." So I was envied by the others, along with the Ardathians. "

The cuisine spoken of in that way was nothing short of raw spring rolls. Oops, Ardath was said by other members to be a long way off, so before returning home, they thought they had to get rid of their anger.

"By the way, the fried dumplings of Jora and the fried dumplings of Giba are also served at tasting parties and glorification feasts. It was a big deal, so I picked up dishes that weren't served at the stalls.”

"Wow, this dumpling doesn't use gibbous meat?" That's why you're not letting it out at the stall! "

"Yeah. Half of our spring rolls use malol, not jiba meat." The people on the edge of the forest really like Giba meat, but if you hang on to another dish in between, you'll get even more delicious Giba cuisine, and I think Jora and Malor have different nourishment than Giba meat. "

The guests, except for the owls, are eating banquet food with their cheeky faces. And as long as it was me, you were happy because you looked very satisfied.

"Speaking of which, Dial didn't attend the tasting or the feast of praise." I always felt like I was present at that kind of meeting, so it seemed a bit strange. ”

Dalí = Souti said with a relaxed expression, and Dial said, "Is that right?” He replied cheaply.

"Really, I've only been away from Genos for a little over two months in the last two years or so, but I'm getting excited to participate in such a fun gala!" A feast of praise is a feast so big that it hasn't been here lately in Genos, is it? I feel really lost! "

Having said that, Dialle laughed adorably like an angel.

"But instead, I was invited to the biggest feast in the forest today!" The lost feeling is written off! "

"Hmm. Would it be more pleasant for Dialle to be invited to a feast on the edge of the forest than a feast on the edge of the castle?"

"I don't like hard times!" If Asta and the people around the forest weren't preparing food, the castle feast wouldn't appeal to me! ”

Yeah. When I'm asked which one to choose, it's definitely a feast in the woods.

As Ardath smiled, Dalí-Sauthi smiled, “I see.”

"I'm sure it was because of your temper that we were able to quickly deepen our ties." I find it difficult to remember that you were the first people of the South to be related. "

"Ahahah. Most of the people in the South think like us!" Well, except for hardware like my dad! "

Having said that, Dialle smiled a little shyly.

"It's like I've been talking to you all this time!" Today's Ardathians are the main protagonists, so talk to them! ”

"It has nothing to do with the protagonist. If we all have fun and make noise, that's enough, right?"

"But the Ardaths are leaving Genos tomorrow!" I have to talk a lot so that I don't have to leave anything behind! "

So Dial began to focus on eating, as if to express his point of view.

Ardath turned towards Granny Ziva with a bitter smile.

"Well then, why don't you let me talk to the eldest?"...... The other people who were invited to the Luu family dinner were also impressed by the presence of the eldest. As expected, even the eldest of the forestside is different in majesty. "

"I don't think I'm equipped with such a big thing, but... I'm just an old man who has lived for a long time..."

"That's not true," said Maiton, reacting suddenly.

"People who have lived a long time have gained so much experience." The eldest is about twice as old as us, right? Then you must be about twice as fine as us. "

"I just don't have any wisdom to live with it... I stretched my elbows until I let my own child inherit my parent's seat at best..."

Maiton then stepped forward with even more interest.

"I've heard that it's unlikely that women will become patriarchs around the forest." Besides, the eldest didn't do his job as a hunter like Ai = Fa, did he? "

"Ahh... I lost my father, my brother and my partner together... there was no affordable person in the family, so I had no choice but to protect my parent until my own child was raised... I just didn't feel like abandoning him..."

"Did you decide to lose your family in the first place?"...... it's all because they burned down the black forest in their hometown, and now they're living in the dangerous forest of Morga. "

Maiton bites his lips. It was the Jagal soldiers, including his grandfather, who dyed their hands on the barbaric act.

Granny Jibba smiled with a prudent gaze, as if she were relieving such a maiton.

"That's because we rejected people from the outside world, so we can't complain unilaterally... and you didn't light the fire yourself, so you shouldn't have to worry about that..."

That's right. Even in such painful eyes, the people around the forest have been resurrected in such splendid ways.

And after Ardath snuffed Maiton's back, he twisted his neck and looked around the square.

"Among them, the Luu family is amazing after all." You've built this splendid village with more than a hundred people in it, right? Since the eldest man stepped up, the Luu family grew up so well. "

Georg-Zaza, who was listening, also spoke.

"Speaking of which, Luu and Rutim and Ray, who had the deepest blood, were also family members of the Morga Forest since they moved to the forest." So, all of your family members have been destroyed? "

"Oh, yes... In the first few years, many huntsmen returned their souls and couldn't stand it anymore... so everyone abandoned him and became the family of Luu, the parent..."

"I see. I hear that Zaza and Dom were the same, so they formed a new bloodbath, and then became the family of Sun. All the clans would have been in a similar situation."

“No, I've heard that Vera, Dawn, and Dada in Sauthi are family members from the Black Forest era.... however, both houses have very few family members, and by welcoming Faye and Tamur to their families, they've managed to survive."

Dali-Sauthi joined the conversation in a calm manner.

"In order to fortify the unity, the Souti blood family may have built a settlement on the southern edge... that's what the elder Moga said." That's why we may be less inclined to seek new family members like Sung and Luu, and we may end up weakening our strength. "

"Even if you say you've weakened your strength, isn't it the third largest clan in the forest?" Then don't let the other clans stand on their feet. "

"But until about two years ago, I think the bloodline of Rats was stronger." If Asta had appeared in the woods about a year earlier, Ratz might have been the eldest instead of Souti. "

"No, no, I won't be the patriarch of Ratz." In other words, he inherited his paternal seat too soon.... me, I've been hoping for a few more years to get some time for my training. "

"Well, for Georg = Zaza, it's a victory." When I first met her, she seemed to be very enthusiastic about succeeding the Patriarch. "

"In the past two years or so, my father has been shown struggling." What's wrong with a young man like you taking on the role of chieftain? "

Dali-Sauthi seemed to be trying to say something back, but he took it off and slammed his mouth.

"This time, we've slapped our mouths too much." I'm so sorry I lost my gratitude to my guests. "

"No, no, I was told with interest." We still don't know anything about the people around the forest after all. "

When Ardath said so, Maiton nodded with a hot face.

"I feel the same way as Ardath." Of course, you can get along without knowing such intel. But... I want to get along with the people in the woods, so I want to know a lot more. "

"We also want to know about you." Originally, I wanted to invite you to the dinner, but... the Soutie's house was too far away, so I couldn't help it. "

Dalí-Sauthy answered like this, “Please wait!” The energetic voice echoed. A group of women from the blood of Roux, led by Rimi-Roux, delivered a new dish.

"I'm sorry I'm late!" I brought you a gizzard noodle! "

"Oh, Rimi = Luu is also a big figure." I'm sure Rimi-Lou will be as beautiful as you were. "

Ardath received a wooden dish of gizzard bone ramen as he broke up. After all, this dedication was indispensable for the feast, so Luu's bloodline created it.

"Are you eating a lot of Jibba and Ei = Fa?" What kind of food should I bring next? ”

"Thank you... but I think we should be careful of our guests and elders at times like this..."

Rimi-Lou slammed his head in, “Go, go, go. Even when wearing banquet costumes, he was an innocent and lovable Limi-Lou.

"You don't have to worry about us." Every dish is impeccably prepared, so it doesn't matter in any order.... ahh, this ramen is also exquisite. "

"Was it ever since Easter that you talked about this?" If you can eat the stall ramen, the deliciousness of this guy will stand out again! "

Ardath and Maiton rinse the ramen in their bones.

As I tasted the Luu family's curiosity in the same way, Ardath turned to look with a smile on his face.

"Nevertheless, Asta and Ei = Fa are quiet." Ai = Fa may be normal, but it's unusual for Asta to be so quiet. ”

"Oh, I'm sorry, I just wanted to talk to you. It was fun."

"I can tell by that look." I want Asta and Ei-Fa to talk about it more. "

"Besides, Donda-Lou and hello!" From this seat, you haven't listened to me at all, have you? "

Hmm. It's your job to make a scene.

Yo, you got a soupy face, and you rinse the ramen. Donda = Luu also had the same mood on the right and didn't even try to open her mouth.

"Good morning, this representative, and the representatives of the forest side are Donda-Lou, Ai-Fa and Asta!" It's kind of funny that all of them are silent. "

“Yeah, that's true. … but there's a similarity in the sense that just being there will calm everyone down.”

As Ardath and Maiton screamed, so did Dialle.

"Ei = Fa, Baran, and your eldest may be that kind of person!" But Asta was more chatty, wasn't she? Is there anything you'd like to tell us about your farewell with Baran today? ”

"No, I have a feeling I want to talk to you, but I feel really satisfied just by being together like this."

Dialle let out an indistinct voice, "Ng," but he immediately smiled suddenly.

"It's true that Asta, caught between Ei = Fa and Baran, looks so happy!" Somehow, it's like a bridegroom caught between his father and his companion! "

"Well, how about that expression?" No, it's an honor for me..... "

Ei = Fa is at an angle that no one else can see, and he's tapping my flank with his elbow.

However, it's true that I was in a happy mood. Just listening to everyone's pleasant conversation with the silent Ei = Fa and the hello-san makes me feel very satisfied.

A feast of 200 people, biting such a faint sense of happiness, is in a sense a very luxurious story.

With that in mind, I decided to bite the ramen noodles' char siu.
