1176 Ray and Sutty's Stay ⑥ ~ Day 3 ~

The third day of the guests' stay - the 27th of the white month.

According to what he heard, Zedias-Rutim, the son of Ghazran-Rutim, was baptized in the cathedral only this day last year. Zedius-Rutim was baptized on the fifth day of his life, and Gazran-Rutim and the others were left with memories.

In other words, Zedius-Rutim was one year old five days ago.

When I thought that Zedius-Rutim, who was so small, was finally one year old, I couldn't help but be emotional. Eventually, Ziza = Luu's son, Rudy = Luu, was also one year old, the Sudra twins were two years old, and Kota = Luu and Aim = Fou were four years old -- such a natural story shook my chest and I couldn't help it.

(Well, I'll be 20 next year. I was 17 years old when I was in my second year of high school... and that's a big enough story.)

Besides, it would be a big deal to take it for granted to get older. I myself have never had a life-threatening experience in the last two years. Even young children have to overcome the great test of the "breath of Amsukhorn", and not everyone is promised a peaceful life unconditionally.

That's why when I heard about the growth of Zedius-Rutim, I refreshed my feelings of getting tighter and working on my day-to-day work.

In terms of the morning downtime, it was also extremely good today. The four guests also felt completely familiar, and Yamil-Lay was completely demodulated on the surface, so there was no unwanted noise.

So we headed for the bivouac town with enthusiasm - but unexpectedly, the Happening was waiting for us.

When I stopped by the inn's stall village again today, Ran's younger sister, who seemed to be having so much fun yesterday, was depressed.

"What's the matter?" Is your body in bad shape? "

When Yun-Sudra called out to her, Lan's youngest sister gave the customer the change and said, "No."

"In fact, yesterday... I mistakenly counted the copper coins and caused great damage to [Xifeng Pavilion]."

“Copper? So you gave the customer too much change?”

"Yes... I went back to the inn and counted the stall sales, and I didn't have enough white copper coins."

"Three copper coins?” Yun-Sudra rolled her eyes.

Three copper coins is as much as 6,000 yen in my senses.

"Whatever you do, you won't lose three copper coins by mistake." Didn't you drop it on your way home or someplace? "

"No, I will carry the copper coins obtained from the stall with the mouth of the bag tied, so I think it is possible to drop them along the way." I must have mistaken it for a red copper coin and given it to the customer. "

While saying so, Lan's youngest sister wiped the tears in her eyes with the back of her hand.

"When white copper coins become old, they become dirty and difficult to distinguish from red copper coins, so I was careful, and I received careful attention from Yumi and Sil. And yet, I've made a mistake... and I really don't take it lightly."

"No, wait a minute." Is it true that the three copper coins were missing? If you mistakenly handed the white and red copper coins to the customer, you would normally run out of two white copper coins and seven red copper coins. "

When I grabbed her mouth like that, Lan's youngest sister was unaware and said, "Huh?” He tilted his head.

"That's why, if you give three copper coins to the customer, the three copper coins that you were supposed to give them should remain in your hand, right?" Therefore, in that case, the loss should be two white copper coins and seven red copper coins. "

"Um... I don't know about that... but I think I've given three red copper coins to another customer." Yesterday I was doing my job of collecting copper coins, so if I made a mistake, I could be the only one. ”

"No, but...."

"Besides, I brought the copper coin back to the inn." If you have dropped a copper coin along the way, it is also my responsibility. I'm really sorry for the people in [Xifeng Pavilion] who trusted me and entrusted me with their work. "

Having said that, Lan's youngest sister smiled hard.

"I'm sure I've been floating around with the pleasure of being able to work in the station town." From today on, I'm tightening my heart so that I never make mistakes. So don't worry. ”

"I see... I pray that your feelings will be rewarded."

In response, Yun-Sudra glanced at Via, who was baking okonomiyaki.

Seeing Yun-Sudra's gaze, Via opened her mouth in a faint state.

"I, too, accidentally counted the copper coins wrong when I helped other inn stalls before." But, the people of [Xi Feng Pavilion] are very kind... so I don't think you need to worry about anything. "

"Yes! But I will do my best not to spoil that kindness!" I'm sorry, but I'll be the one to deliver the copper today! "

Having said that, Lan's youngest sister laughed at Via.

But after all, Via still burns Poitan's dough with her eyes down.

"Well then, please do your job, Yun-Sudra and the others." I'll do my job, too. "

“Yes, I'll stop by again on my way back, so let me know if there's anything you need.”

That's why we're aiming for our own workplace with great suspicion.

Along the way, Yun-Sudra turned her gaze to me.

"Um... how does Asta feel about this story?"

"Yeah, I don't think Ran's youngest sister, who Yumi admitted to work for, would make such a big mistake." That's not how it happens to mistake a red copper coin for a white copper coin... I don't think it's possible for a failure to give three red copper coins on the same day to overlap. "

"That's right. So why did three copper coins disappear?"

"I guess I can only think of it as dropped or stolen." It's said that there are many people in the station town who have bad habits. "

"I see. But if you had tied the mouth of the bag, it wouldn't have been dropped or stolen on the way home." So it was stolen in the middle of work? If it's been two people's turn for a long time, it seems like it's going to be difficult..... "

And Yun-Sudra thought about it in a serious way.

"I've become suspicious of Via, who works with me." But that's impossible. ”

Yeah? Why can't it be?

“That's because Lan's youngest sister didn't suspect Via at all. I don't know anything about Via, but if she's the youngest sister of Lan who worked with her for two days in the stall, I wonder what personality she already has.”

Yun-Sudra was too lazy to reply. Needless to say, there was a lot of suspicion in me about Via.

(Hmm. Should I trust the eyes of the people around the forest, or should I suspect that my temper is too pristine... it's a bit difficult.)

But anyway, we're outsiders on this one. Since the content of the problem is the content, I could not make a fuss bypassing it.

"Actually, I'd like to get in touch with Shill and Sams right away... but first, I think I'll tell this story to Ran's house." Is that all right with Asta? "

"Yeah. If we make a scene before the orchid, it could be a problem." I think that's wise. "

As a result, Yun-Sudra and I started working on our work while holding our doubts in mind.

The stalls are still in full swing today. Only a month and a half has passed since the annihilation of the Order of the Evil God, and its painful hands can no longer be seen anywhere. Of course, Dalaym's vegetables are still thin, and even though they can only be used in a very limited number of dishes at stalls, the crowds of traffic continue to grow. At the very least, it was no exaggeration to say that reconstruction had been completely carried out in the station town.

"Well, we'll keep going to Dalai Mu." Please take care of the women who will be riding with you. "

When the stall business was completed, Lara = Lou called out like that. Along the way, Rimi-Lou is smiling with joy. Today, we will finally have a daring stay at the Dora house.

Shortly before the end of working hours, a wagon carrying Granma Ziba and the huntsmen of the escort also arrived. Among them was Ziza = Luu, who had finished his work in half a day. After all, when I invited Granny Jibba to join me, she sent out a suitable hunter.

"... does Asta have any problems?"

And that Ziza-Lou threw such words at me as I broke up.

"No, it was unusual for Asta and she seemed somewhat distracted." If Lau-Ray was involved in that, I wouldn't be able to miss it either. "

"No, Rau-Ray has absolutely nothing to do with it." However, there was a problem with the crowd of orchids deposited in [Xifeng Pavilion]..... "

“What is the problem?”

Even if the next patriarch, Ziza-Ruu, said so, it was not surprising to hide it. I asked Yun-Sudra, a relative of Lan's, to attend and explain the situation together.

"I see. I've never worked in a stall business, but I don't think I've ever heard of copper being stolen in the middle of a business."

"Yes, so it must be strange."

"I see. First, [Xifeng Pavilion] and the people of Lan should discuss often and clarify where the responsibility lies." If there is any progress, please also report to the Luu family. "

Leaving such words, Ziza = Lou went out to Daraym with her pretty sisters.

I was accompanying some of Luu's family on duty. This time, it was said that women such as Ray, Rutim, and Min would be seated for the first time because the faces of the small clans, including Fa, did not participate.

The rest of the team returns to the forest village as usual. In the village of Ruu, the Sauti bloodline had already appeared today.

“Good work, everyone. I'll be back the day after tomorrow, so please do.”

"Yes, I look forward to that day," answered the elderly lady of Faye, who was spinning at yesterday's study group.

Lara-Lou and Rimi-Lou are absent, so Reina-Lou is alone today. The bloodline of Luu is thick, so even if Lara = Luu and the others weren't there, it wouldn't be a problem. It was really a big deal to be able to dare a stay at Dora's house with Sautti.

Then we'll go back to Fa's house, and we'll have the same hands-on study group.

However, in order to increase the efficiency of the handicraft, some of the skilled people will go to Fow and Gaz's house today. Only Yun-Sudra will stay with me, and I have invited a large number of people to the Pharaoh's house.

Reina = Roux and his family have taken over the blood of Sauti, so Fou and Gaz are here to welcome you. And among them were the women of the orchid, and Eumi.

"Hello and welcome to Fa's house, Yumi."

Yeah! I'll take care of you today!

Yesterday, Yumi was nervous, but now that the whole day has passed, she has regained her original vitality.

How did you spend your time at Run's house? It's very disturbing, but first of all, it's very simple. Within yesterday, Ai = Fa brought in the unbleeded gibberish that she had prepared for me, and I agreed to give a preliminarily lecture.

"The more time passes, the stronger the smell of unblemished meat becomes. Therefore, it is ideal to wash with salt water on the day of harvest. However, it is often too late for the men to bring back the harvest, so it will be difficult to keep up with ideals. That's why even in Fa's house, they use the Giba meat harvested yesterday. Remember that the meat washed in salt water on the day of harvest is made into a delicious dish with less seasoning.”

Everyone in the crowd is listening to me with a serious face. Everyone understands that this deed will bring more abundance to the bloodline.

As an experienced person, Yun-Sudra oversees the work of the facial contact, and I am very hands-on with the facial contact that will be my first experience. But at that time, I gave verbal guidance and got all the actual work done by hand.

"Wow, the water is really getting red!" Making meat tasty is going to take so long! "

Yumi, who was working with the orchid ladies, said so with curiosity. It's innocent behavior, but there's no sign of neglecting work, so you probably won't be offended by the women on the edge of the forest.

"This is only the next best solution." The real blood drain is what you give when you take down your prey. "

"When you got rid of the prey?" How do you drain your blood? "

"While your heart is still moving, cut off the blood vessels in your throat." I'm sure that Karon and Kimus are taking care of it as well.

"Huh! But I can't compare it to a ranch-keeper like Karon!" It's really hard for hunters around the forest to have to do such a task right after hunting Giba for their lives! "

Since Yumi does not bother others, her words at these times are made with unmixed sincerity. Therefore, the surrounding ladies also watched Eumi's behavior with a warm look.

"Speaking of which, how was Ran's daughter?" You've been watching me today, haven't you? "

And while the meat was soaked in salt water, Eumi asked.

Hurry up, I'll call Yun-Sudra. After all, I think we should speak of this matter from the side of our blood.

"Actually, there was a little problem over there." After the study session, I was going to tell Lan and the others..... "

Then Yun-Sudra explained the situation, and Yumi said, "What is that!” He lifted his eyebrows.

"It's impossible that you don't have enough money for three copper coins!" There's no way those two made such a counting mistake! "

"It seems that Ran's youngest daughter had been accepting exchanges of copper coins all along yesterday. Therefore, if you make a mistake, you can only be Ran's youngest sister."

"... hmm? From beginning to end, Via was responsible for cooking?" Usually you change roles along the way, right? "

"Come on, I'm just trying to talk to you, so I don't really understand what's going on around here."

In response to Yun-Sudra's reply, Yumi's expression became more and more sword-swallowed.

"Something's wrong." What does Via say? "

"Via seemed to be aware of Lan's youngest sister. Every one of them seemed inexplicable... but is Via a member of Shill's blood family? Lan's youngest sister also seems to trust Via, and I'm sure she's the right person.”

Even if you're a blood relative, you're usually the daughter of a distant relative who doesn't interact with each other ― even the right-minded person can be guilty.

Yumi's eyes were filled with sharp temperament.

And his eyes shall be turned toward the women of the orchid, which is beside him.

"I'm sorry. Can I just step out of my seat for a second?"

I said, "What, you want to step out of your seat?"

"I thought I'd try to find out why this happened." If Lan's daughter is harboring an unspeakable guilt, she can't be left alone anymore. "

"But that... first, shouldn't we appeal to your parents?"

"No. I'm the one who decided it was okay to leave the stall to them." So if something goes wrong, it's my fault, right? That's why I have to do something about it. "

Having said that, Yumi spilled white teeth on her cheeks.

"Don't worry, I won't make any noise."... Asta, I'm sorry, but can you lend me a Totos? I don't need a wagon. "

"Yeah. I don't care... but are you sure you're okay?"

“It's okay, I'm just going to do a little probing.”

Then Yumi crossed over to Fafa and headed to the town of the camp by herself.

Many of the faces gathered in the middle of the rainbow are shocked. It is very unlikely that a crowd of women will take major actions around the forest without looking up to the patriarch's judgment.

"But Yumi is a determined person, isn't she?" I think it's very favorable. "

It was Dada's eldest sister who spoke like that.

And Yamil-Ray shrugged her shoulders with a sad face.

"Well, the mistakes that happened in the town could be handled better by the people in the town." If the people on the edge of the forest move poorly, it could become a catastrophe. "

"But... I'm worried... if Yumi buys the parents a dissatisfaction by throwing away their work on the way..."

The orchid ladies accompanying Yumi said so with anxiety.

Yun-Sudra smiled at you.

“I think we should all decide whether or not Yumi is doing the right thing. Isn't that what it means to deepen our understanding?”

"Yeah, I think so too. Just by pushing the customs of the forest side, we won't be able to deepen our understanding.”

And then, Sweety's youngest sister smiled and spoke up.

As usual, it was a clear expression, but the gaze was very strong and bright.

"Isn't it true that Yumi wants to break her blood ties with the family of the town and become a family in the forest?" In that case, I think we also need to decide whether the customs of the city are correct and accept them. ”

"That's right... I guess. I would be glad if you could say that to the elders."

"My identity has nothing to do with this." But Asta also gave me the opportunity to go to the stadium town and the castle town, so I may be able to think more than I used to. ”

And when Sauthi's youngest sister had spoken thus, the women of Lan nodded, and said, Yes.

Since the quarter-long time had passed, we had to replace the salt water that had been soaked in Giba meat and take further action - but then, until the study session was over, Yumi would not come back.

◇

"So, what was the end of it all?" Was it the daughter of Bia who hid the copper coin? "

At night it is the time of supper.

I responded "Yes" to Lau-Ray, who asked me while satisfying my curious appetite.

“In conclusion, it was Via. While she was cleaning up after the stalls, she stole Lan's youngest sister's eyes and borrowed three copper coins."

"It's such a despicable story!" Why did Ran's youngest sister trust such a vicious person? ”

"That girl Via wasn't a bad person at all." A man who was socializing with his parents in private suffered from a disease and needed a copper coin to procure the medicine. "

It seems that Via, who was exposed to the truth by Yumi, was taken by Lan's youngest sister while crying like a child. Lan's youngest sister hadn't shown any signs of doubt about her, so she seemed to have been tormented by the reproach of her conscience.

"I don't know. If the men who feared him were suffering from a disease, would it be the role of the family and blood relatives to save them?”

"That's why it seems that this man was born in a slum, and he was the only one in the world." It seemed like the only way to return your soul was to leave it alone.

"There are people in town who have no family or blood." At that point, it would be out of our imagination. "

Dali-Sauthi spoke in a calm voice.

“So, how did Yumi get to the truth?”

"It seems that you have already mobilized a network that you can have." Yumi has a lot of friends. They used the Man-sea Tactics to investigate Via's identity and locate her lover who was suffering from a disease. ”

"That's a big story." So Yumi cleared up your mess and went back to Lan's house? "

"Yes, it's been a long time since I've been back, so I'm afraid I'll be telling Lan's parents about it while we're having dinner."

It was Vera's patriarch who shouted, "I see."

"That certainly sounded like a lot of work... but even as the head of Lan's family, it seems like it would be quite difficult to handle."

Hmmm? The noise has subsided, so is there anything I can help you with?

Rau-Ray said so, and Vera's patriarch responded with a serious face.

“Yumi was deposited with the Lan family, and Asta gave her a hand in the name of memorizing her work around the forest. To throw it out halfway and go back to the station town on my own... after all, it's not an impressive story."

"But it was only because Yumi did everything in her power that she was able to clear herself of unspeakable sins."

"Even after getting approval from Lan's parents, it should have worked." As far as I can tell, it wasn't a time-honored situation, so we should deal with the sedimentation a little now. ”

"No, no! As Yumi, she couldn't bear to suffer for her sins!" Even if I were in the same position as Yumi, I would have behaved the same way! "

The two men who had the opposite temper argued in that way, and Dalí-Sauthi, who smiled loosely, arbitrated the matter.

"This is what it means to welcome people from the outside world to your family." Just like Asta and Shmiral-Lillin, we have to figure out the most right path. "

“Hmm. But this doesn't seem like much of a distraction from Asta or Schmiral-Lillin.”

And now Dawn's eldest brother makes a relaxed voice.

"Without saying anything about Asta, it must have been quite a nuisance for Shmiral-Lilin to continue her life as a pedestrian even if she became a family in the forest. However, as long as Asta and Shmiral-Lilin live near the forest, they have the feeling of strictly observing their customs. I'm sure Asta and Schmiral-Lillin shouldn't think about acting on their own until they get their parents' permission."

“Hmm. But Yumi leaves her family in the camp town, hoping to dowry into the Run family. Even if the dowry is fair, Yumi must do her best to live correctly as a people on the edge of the forest, and at the same time as a human being of [Xifeng Pavilion]. However, it may be different from Asta and Schmiral-Lillin."

It was a word that contained the same contents that Sauthi's youngest sister had spoken during the day.

"Asta and Shmiral-Lilin have no family outside the forest, and Zida and Mikel have decided to become a family around the forest. Therefore, Yumi will be the first person to wish for a dowry while leaving his family outside the forest. I'm sure that Yumi and we will have a bigger struggle than ever before... but it can also be a big bridge for the people on the edge of the forest and the people in the station town to work together correctly. We have to look at the wider world and figure out the most right path, not just the forestside habits.”

"It's a very troublesome story!" Well, I'm sure it's worth it! "

Lau-Ray laughed cheerfully, and Vera's patriarch thought hard.

As each and every one of the people on the edge of the forest faces their problems, they will surely see the right path. Dalí-Sauthi was right, it might be a big struggle, but I wasn't worried about anything.

(In any case, the people on the edge of the forest, like me, also faced the insane personality and pointed me in the right direction.)

And the day passed solemnly, overcoming the turmoil of the little one.
