1205 Joint Harvest Festival of the Six Clans ④ ~ Beginning of the feast ~

After a few hours of comparing the power of the huntsman, the feast began at sunset.

A ceremonial fire is lit in the center of the square by the hands of several crowds of women. A pedestal lined with logs and planks was placed in the immediate vicinity, lined with eight hunters.

"Now then, I would like to bless the eight huntsmen who have been given the seats of heroes and brave men in power comparison!"

The one who raised his voice was the head of the Din family, who replaced the head of the Din family in the role of moderator.

"First of all, the heroic one is Jo-Ran!" Heroes are Chim-Sudra and Ai-Fa! "

The young ladies of Din put a grass crown over Jo-Ran's head, and offered a braided necklace to Chim-Sudra and Ai-Fa. My compatriots on the edge of the forest and guests from other places applauded and cheered with the same enthusiasm.

The luggage carrier's heroes were Rudd-Lid, and the heroes were the patriarchs of Bardou-Fou and Din. It was for this reason that the head of the sub-family acted as the host.

In addition, the tree climbing heroes were Lyerpham-Sudra, and the heroes were Eiffa and Chim-Sudra.

Zei = Din, Ai = Fa, and Birdu = Fow were the heroes of the Dragon Draw.

The battle heroes were Eyfa, Bardou-Fou and Lyerfam-Sudra.

There are only eight hunters there, which should be a maximum of fifteen. That's why the same hunter was awarded multiple honors - Ei = Fa, who wore the brave grass crown and offered three necklaces, was still a cripple.

With a total of 38 people, Ai-Fa was able to achieve so many results among the hunters whose strength had risen over time.

Thanks to the generosity of the people around me, I was able to keep an eye on that glorious figure from the front row of Hitokaki.

Today, unmarried women are all wearing banquet costumes.

But today, Ei = Fa, who was not given a banquet costume but a sign of bravery and bravery, did not seem to be the most glorious.

"At the last Harvest Festival, Lan's patriarch stated that the seven hunters who had demonstrated their strength in comparison to previous ones were worthy of the name of the brave!" And now all seven of them stand side by side! These eight men, who have added Din's patriarch, are our proud heroes and brave men! Using these eight people as models, I want other hunters to do their best! "

People cheer again at the words of the head of the Din family.

Eight of them have six clan hunters in common. It was no shame to be defeated compared to power, but still everyone should be satisfied with this result.

The patriarch of Din, with a brave necklace.

Two necklaces, Chim-Sudra.

Bardou = Fou, who hung three necklaces.

Joe Lang and Rudd-Rid and Zei-Din wore the brave grass crown.

Lyerpham-Sudra, who wore a grass crown and hung a necklace.

Ei = Fa, who wore a grass crown and hung three necklaces.

The eight figures lined up in front of the ritual fire were so divine and full of powerful vitality that they were not just Tikatras.

"Now, let's begin the harvest feast!" To the blood of Fa, Fou, Lan, Sudra, Dinh, and Ryd, many guests! While giving thanks to the Mother Forest, give the grace to your own strength! "

According to the declaration of the head of the Dinh sub-family, people said, "Thank you Mother Forest!” he repeated.

A wave of power unbeatable to the heroes and brave people blows into the square with enthusiasm. With that momentum shaking my chest, I decided to return to the simple kamado.

“Asta, thank you for your hard work. I'm going to finish this dish right now, so please take it to the Ai = Fa.”

It was the women of Lan who told me that they were working in the same team. She also wore a sparkling banquet costume because she was unmarried.

Thank you, but can I leave it all to you?

"Yes! I'm getting used to separating Shaska too, so I'll take care of it!"

Because there are many outpatient guests today, I settled on the idea that I should move freely with the widest range of interactions. Of course, I will do my best to bridge the forest side and the outside world, but for now, I couldn't be happier to deliver the banquet food to Ei = Fa first.

As I wait for the platter to finish, a small figure runs out. You are also Rimi-Lou, who wore the banquet costume, and Tara, who had a little flower ornament on her scorched brown hair. At Luwu's harvest festival, only blood relatives wore banquet costumes, but at our joint harvest festival, we made it voluntary for our guests.

"Asta will take the dishes to Ai = Fa, right?" I'll also help you with Limi! "

Thank you very much. But Rimi-Lou and Tara are also guests, so they're entertaining, aren't they?

"Oh no! I want to see Ei = Fa's delightful face!"

"Yeah! Ai = Fa, hey, that was cool!"

With a height difference of a few tens of centimeters, I ended up smiling at the pretty girls.

The finished dishes are placed one on top of the other in a basin. There were a lot of people coming to this place, "First of all, from the brave and the brave! With one word, everyone was waiting for their turn in a rash.

Then Rimi-Lou and I headed to the center of the square to get a basin with six dishes. As expected, Tara had a gentle face of her own, so I decided to ask her to follow me with a hand. After all, the square was a crowd reminiscent of a torrent in the river because it was a gathering of only 140 people.

Speaking of which, how are the Tikatras?

"Yes! Lara and Ghazlan-Rutim are leading the way!" Looks like Brother Ziza is talking to Melfried and the others! "

Since the elders were no longer at the stage of measuring the Joint Harvest Festival, entertaining noble guests would be their main task. Especially this time, it was in the form of swallowing the request of Tikatras, so there was a section that took care not to burden the human of the six clans as much as possible.

Gazlan = Rutim and Ziza = Ruu have been around for a long time, but Lara = Ruu is also trustworthy these days.

"Yep! I'm sure Lara wants to be a fine person worthy of Sin-Lou's companion!" Sin-Lou is a hunter chosen as the head of a new family! "

If she is there, her face will be so red that she can't beat the color of her hair, and she will be angry, but fortunately, only Tara and I are here. I just smiled back at Lu's youngest sister, who had a sharp insight and a mischievous temper.

And it came to pass, that the seats of the heroes were seen: five heroes sat on the wooden pedestal, and three heroes sat on the rugs of their feet, and they received festive words from various men.

"Excuse me, I brought you a feast."

"Oh! You're finally here!" Sorry, clear the way! My stomach and back are already going to stick together! "

The people have cleared the way, as Rad-Rid requested.

I stand side by side with Rimi = Luu and let eight huntsmen bow their heads.

"Congratulations again." It's a feast dish that everyone has dedicated themselves to, so please enjoy it. ”

"Hmm! I'm so hungry I can't beat Gibba's hunting!" Come on, let's eat! "

We decided to have the wooden plates picked up in turn because our hands were blocked.

And Ei = Fa, who had the dish in her hands, had a dazzling face that only made her eyes shine.

"... it seems unusual to have a hanba guru at a feast."

"Yeah. Somehow, the influence of the medal at the tasting, it seems that the Hamburger Curry has become widely recognized as a fine dish." It's going to be a little tricky, but I've got to get ready. ”

Of course, since it is one of the many banquet dishes, it is a small size that is less than half a person. However, Ai-Fa, who loved the hamburger curry so much, gave it a very happy look.

“There are four of them, too.”

"If so, Asta and the others will eat it as well. Particularly Asta is the day the patriarch Ei = Fa was so honored. Share the same joy."

With Bardou-Fou's words, Rimi-Lou and Tara ate the same thing.

Looking up close, Ei = Fa looked even more glorious. While eating the hamburger curry, Rimi-Lou also had a refreshing look.

"After all, Ei = Fa is amazing!" I think Granny Ziba and Rudo will be surprised! Compared to Luu's power, no hunter has received so many blessings! "

On the contrary, it would be a testament to the fact that there are so many powerful hunters in Luu's bloodline.

Lyerfam-Sudra sat in the middle of the pedestal and spoke up like that.

"Of course, Luu is a chieftain, and since there are more bloodline than the six of us, it's probably only natural, but... I've heard that many young hunters have been given the seats of heroes and brave men."

"Hmm! The only young people in this room are Ei = Fa, Joe = Lang, and Chim = Sudra!" I want the other young people to get even more excited! ”

Ding's patriarch shouted “no” to Rad-Rid's lavish remarks.

“We've been able to do more than we've ever done, thanks to our delicious food and our rich lives. Then... if these young people are eating old, they will naturally be more powerful than us."

“Sure! But if we can do this, I want you to show us your power before we lose it!”

Lad-Rid laughs with a high smile.

After all, everyone felt satisfied with the heat of the fierce battle during the day. In the square surrounded by heat, it felt like a fierce vitality was swirling around here.

There, a voice echoed, "Excuse me." Eurifia and Odifia were joined by Toole Din.

“Odifia wanted to send a message of congratulations to the brave and the brave.”

"Oh, I see! It seems that your Odifia is bonding not only with Tuul-Din, but also with Zei-Din!"

Lad-Rid responded like that, and Eurifia shouted, “I am too.”

"My partner and I, Melfried, are taking care of Tour-din and Zay-din." But since my partner was a mediator and I couldn't move, it was up to me and Odifier to join them. "

Eurifia, whose tone was shattered unless the person above her was the opponent, had a refreshed tone this time. It was probably a tribute to the brave and the brave.

And Odifier bows calmly, looking like a French doll. Zei-Din narrowed his eyes and smiled.

"The support of the Odifiers has also given me great strength." I'm happy to share the joy of today. ”

"Yeah, Odifia's happy too."

Odifia raised her face, her grey eyes shining brightly. The little face remained expressionless, but there was blood on the white cheek.

"It's a lot better to invite Odifia and Eurifia to the edge of the forest. How about a feast by the forest?"

When I asked like that, Eurifia smiled, “That's great,” in her usual tone.

"Originally, we were holding a big feast in the castle town for a while." Thanks to Lord Tikatras, I was able to taste the feast of the castle town and the forestside... and it was a heartfelt and satisfying feeling. "

"Hmm. Is there still a sense of luxury in the castle town?"

Asked by Lyerfam-Sudra, Eurifia shakes her head and says “No.”

"It looks like that kind of wind is getting a lot thinner." It's been more than two months since we finished the Crusade of the Evil Gods, so I wonder if we can regain our vitality thanks to Lord Tikatras' uproar. "

“I see. For better or for worse, that nobleman Tikatras has the power to move the field.”

It's so energetic that you can't beat His Highness Dakarmas anymore.

When Lyerfam-Sudra called it "Hum", a new figure approached. It was a combination of Yun-Sudra wearing a banquet costume and Yea-Fou-Sudra wearing only a modest ornament.

"Thank you for your patience." It is a celebratory dish prepared for heroes and brave people. ”

Yun-Sudra holds a large platter of luxurious wood carvings in both hands, and Yea-Fou-Sudra carries small plates and wooden spoons for sampling. It was a large platter for celebration, which was also utilized at the last harvest festival.

"Oh, that dish also seems nostalgic!" After all, nine months is too much time! "

While making such a fuss, Rudd-Lid is shaking his big body. The large plates were filled with a variety of banquet dishes.

The beloved Giba cutlets of the people of the forestside are fried in the candied meat developed at the previous study group, the spicy stewed Giba cubes finished with a chit-chicken pickle similar to soybean plate soy sauce, and the grilled half-body of Giba. As a divider for such meat dishes, they are also served with grilled huano with cheese, fresh vegetable salad, and chatch salad. It was unbeatable luxury in the appearance of the large plates that I bought in the castle town.

In addition, new fruit sake and Giba bone ramen are also delivered. At that time, I decided to leave my seat.

"Well then, I'll check on the other guests." Rimi = Luu and the others, if you like, please stay by Ai = Fa. "

Huh? I wonder if it's all Rimi and the others?

Rimi-Lou twisted herself adorably, so I laughed, "It's okay."

"Rimi-Lou and Tara are also guests." Don't hesitate to do as you please. "

"Alright!" said Rimi-Lou, clinging to Ai-Fa's left arm. Tara smiled so happy she couldn't beat it. In the first place, Tara became related to the people around the forest by being saved by Ai = Fa, who was about to be crushed by a drunk Dodd, so she has strong feelings for Ai = Fa personally.

Ei = Fa turned her gentle gaze to the young girls and stared at me. To reassure me, he laughed, "It's okay."

"Someone from the forest should be accompanying the guest from outside." If not, there's no reason I'd be in danger. "

"Hmm... but be careful with people who apply for confidential talks."

Roger that, Parent.

Then I burned Ai = Fa's glorious figure to the top of my eyes and left the scene.

It's hard to act alone at a feast. That's why Ei = Fa is probably worried too, but most of the people gathered here are people with a good heart. And since Tikatras was supposed to be accompanied by Ghazlan-Rutim and the others, there was no need to be even more vigilant.

(The joint harvest festival is already the fourth time... it's been over a year and a half since the first harvest festival, so it's rather small... but it's still very emotional.)

The first joint harvest festival was last year's Golden Month. It would have been shortly after the people from the forest had entered the fighting tournament hosted by the nobility for the first time. This means that it was around the time when the reconciliation with the Satulas Count family was finally fulfilled.

The second harvest festival was last year's Green Month. This was shortly after I met Tia, and it left a strong impression on me. At that time, Tia was allowed to join the feast, and we were going around the square together.

Next, last year's Purple Moon. A little before the Easter of the Sun God. Therefore, the people of the six clans had a rest period, and they were able to enjoy the Easter festival without hesitation.

Tia was still staying at Fa's house at that time, but was unable to attend the Harvest Festival. You decided to invite more than one people from your city, so you told them that you shouldn't have the Tier, the people of the sanctuary present.

(More than nine months later, this event is finally happening... no matter how much you ask, the next one will be next year, right? Really, the harvest festival is an annual festival.)

Moreover, since the ash moon ends in a few days, there are only three months left this year. In two and a half months, the Easter Festival of the Sun God will begin. And it was just too much for me.

(Two months after the Easter Festival, it was Ei = Fa's birthday... and two months later, it was my birthday... oh, in the meantime, the rainy season will also come. Really, that's a great story.)

Unusually, when I was acting alone, and I was chewing on such emotions, I said, "Hey!" And there was one who called out to him.

When I pointed my legs at you, I accidentally said, "This is it." There were a lot of miscellaneous people with different identities gathered around your Simple Kama.

It was Yumi who called. However, other people in the post town can only be found in Via. Those present were Dialle and Lavis, Roy and Sily-Rowe, Refreire and the three servants, and the young men and women of Run.

"Ladies and gentlemen, it's about time.... I see, it's about the faces that are gathered around Yumi."

No, it's not that!

Yumi said that, but Dialle and Siri = Row should have been close to Yumi quite deeply, and Refreire should have been able to deepen their exchanges at many feasts. To take a different view, Refreire and Dialle were even deeper friends, and Sirie-Rowe and the others were once the cooks of the House of Turan.

I met Odifia and the others earlier, but the reflares have already left the rug.

When I called out to her like that, Refreire shrugged her chin.

"Before answering that question, what's the matter with the catchy words?" I don't think there's any aristocrats here but me. "

"Yeah, yeah. That's why I'm delayed because I don't have anyone else to change my tone depending on the environment..."

"If that's the case, I wish we were unified." Of course, in a tone that I don't feel bad about. "

After that, Refreia pointed toward Chiffon-Cher.

"With regard to the question just now, Chiffon-Cher finally got invited to a feast on the edge of the forest, so I thought it would be a pity to keep quiet on the rug." Even Sanjura and Musul should talk to as many people as they can. ”

Musul and Sanjula were invited at the last harvest festival in the name of reflair and reconnecting with the people around the forest. There was no such name this time, but no matter what, it should not have been enough to deepen ties with the people around the forest.

And Chiffon-Chell smiles with a very satisfied face, holding it secretly next to her young master. Barely, although it was only possible to invite him once to the supper at the Pharaoh's house, this was the first time that he had invited him to a feast on the edge of the forest.

"Because Chiffon = Cher is so beautiful, Ben and Cargo are getting stubborn!" It's depressing, so I chased it away! By now, you must be making a scene with Lau-Ray and the others! "

"I see. Well, it's hard to move with too many people."... can Dial also enjoy the feast? "

Yes, of course! Yumi's wife and I will never say hello again!

“Shut up!” Yumi shook Dial's slim shoulder. Dial had been in a close relationship with Jo-Ran for some time, and he was finally able to officially greet her at the castle feast the other day.

"Besides, Roy and Siri = Row are also tired." I'm sorry I couldn't meet you today....... is Siri = Row all right? "

"I've already been invited to the Harvest Festival for the third time." Don't worry about it. ”

I tell you what, you've turned pale compared to your fighting skills.

This time, Siri = Rowe's face turned red and slapped Roy's back.

The outpatient guests seemed to be enjoying the feast on the edge of the forest.

Next to Via is Lan's youngest sister, who once lived with her in the stall. When she noticed my gaze, Lan's youngest sister shouted with a smile.

"The nobleman named Tikatras didn't seem to have a bad influence on the station town, so I and Yumi were to be deposited at your house soon. I don't think Asta will be able to take care of you, thank you.”

"Oh, that's right. Welcome, thank you very much."

"Dear Sir, thank you!" And, Via's head bowed down a lot. The enthusiasm of the feast on the edge of the forest made me feel quite uneasy. Reflair shrugged her shoulders.

"It seems that you have also committed the crime of stealing the copper coins of the stall, but it is a lesser sin than ours. Don't forget about the reflection, just enjoy the feast.”

Yes, yes! That's a waste of time!

"That's why you don't have to be so curious." The nobility that rode into the woodside is just enough to handle clutter. "

Somehow, the refreire sounded like a tongue today. Maybe I could finally join Chiffon = Chel at a feast on the edge of the forest, and the refreire would float. No matter how hard she looked, she was a 14-year-old girl.

Whatever it is, it looks so calm while gathering people of so many different identities. With that pleasure, I decided to have a simple dish.

What was being distributed here was a spicy stew that had been served on a large plate just now. When I was cheeking it, Siri = Rowe, who had a serious face, came up to me.

"Your food was also very delicious." I heard that we only added maroon-mallow chit-chicken to the ancient dish of kaku, but of course, we had to make various adjustments to refine the flavor. ”

“Yes, we're going to fine-tune the amount of tau oil, miso, and sugar. But Maro Maro Chit Marinade was originally a good seasoning, so I didn't struggle so much. The way the heat is put in is the same as before."

"... that's probably why people around the forest don't struggle because they're so good at it."

As she burned her opponent, Cirie = Rowe looked at me from a distance.

Then, Yumi, with her arms extended from the side, hugged Sily-Rowe's neck.

"It's good to be enthusiastic, but you don't need such a strange look, do you?" I hope you're looking forward to the feast too! "

"Kiki, please don't touch me cheaply. What can I say to you?" Ahh, don't bother me anymore! "

Siri = Rowe and the others who were making such noise felt more tense than usual. More or less, everyone is attracted to the enthusiasm of the feast.

Many people have not been invited to a feast on the edge of the forest for months. Only Dialle and Lavis were invited to a farewell party for the architects last month, but the rest - roughly - will go back to the Luwu Harvest Festival. Some of the nobles were attending a feast to which His Highness Dakarmas had been invited, but that was more than three months ago.

(Well, Yumi and the others were originally planning to invite... but it was Tikatra's influence that made this Harvest Festival so big. Is Dakarmas' behavior the same that activated Genosity?)

Thinking like that, I was able to share the joy of the Harvest Festival with a lot of people.
