Frontier Lord Starts Out With a Population of 0

After a bath in the water, I returned from the creek and finished dressing in yurt to wash clothes at dusk.

When Francis and the others headed to the warehouse, everyone living in the village was gathered in front of the warehouse.

Klaus watches it smile at his grandmothers staring at the twins as they become a circle, whether they are cute or not, mainly Senay, Aihan and Arner.

... you feel a little away from the group about why only Grandma Maya is here.

And speaking of what the Arners were doing in the center of such a group... it was the braiding of Senay's hair.

First Senay, then Arner started saying that Aihan was next. That's Arner's preference for an important woman.

Wooden jewellery boxes carved with intricate sculptures cherished by Arner are filled with various types of jewellery.

Those elongated column-shaped jewels have small holes, and by passing strings of the same color as the jewels through those holes and braiding the strings together with the hair, they complete the unique hairstyle of that ghostly woman whose jewels sway at the tip of her hair.

Braiding hair and strings, solving them, are both very time-consuming and laborious tasks, and Arner repeats them every day when he washes his hair.

Isn't it a hassle and hassle to do that to Arner every day before? I had heard of it, but it was part of the routine I've been doing since I was a kid, and I never thought of it as cumbersome or difficult.

"This is Salyakut, a gem to get rid of the disease.

This is Saphish, a jewel that shines light and protects you from your enemies at times of need. "

and Arner braids with Senai's hair explaining the name of the gem and what power it has one by one.

Senay smiles whether she is happy to have her hair braided, and Aihan listens to Arner's explanation as she looks intrigued at Arner's hand.

Until they were older, Arner would knit them in like this every day, but the twins were honestly nodding to Arner, who gently told them that they would be able to do it with their own hands when they were older... and they seemed to open their hearts a lot to see if they had gotten prettier and calmed down after eating.

Good. Good. Good. Looking at the twins and Arner, Francis and the others rubbing their bodies once in a while... No, no, I'm not jealous or anything, I stroke Francis and the others because it's good to be friends.

No, because you really don't care, yeah.

With Francis and the others hanging out like that, Grandma Maya approached us with some difficult face.

"... do you realize those kids aren't human?

Grandma Maya suddenly says something like that when she comes nearby, what the hell are you talking about? I stumble on my face.

"No, no, no matter how you look at it, it's a normal human child.

No way, Grandma Maya...... are you going to tell me those two are monsters?

"You're not, I'm just trying to tell you that those kids aren't human.

Look, those ears... they're weirdly pointy and long on the side, right?

When Grandma Maya's words prompted me to do my gaze to Senai and Aihan's ears...... I can't help but say that the top of my ear is pointy towards the outside and long form on the side.

But about that......

"Man, anybody has a distinctive part of their face somewhere, isn't that ear in that range?

"It's not just about appearance.

I get the vibe from those kids that it's a special sign... I wonder what a noisy way they called that frog-headed kid.

Arner, your daughter decided there was no problem, and I don't know if she cares too much about me... but would you mind if I were a boy?

"Hmmm... ok, Grandma Maya.

I was going to keep an eye on them for the time being, and I'll be careful. "

"... I asked you, you dragon killer.

If you need anything, you can count on me... well, if the other guy kills a dragon, maybe he'll escape barefoot, too. "

With that said, Grandma Maya laughs at Hechechechehe, joins the circle of grandmothers watching over Senai and Aihan, sees about Senai and starts exchanging words with them.

... maybe those kids aren't human, huh?

If you're just saying you're not human, Arner and the ghosts can say the same thing, but from Grandma Maya's mouth, there's more to it... that something special is in those kids... is that what this is about?

I'd say she's just a normal girl with a little pointy ears from me.

If you turn your gaze to the Senays with that in mind, then apparently the braiding work on your hair is done. Senay and Aihan are happy that your hair has been braided, or do you enjoy the jewels reflecting and shining through the sunset, jumping with piompions and rocking the jewels...... ugh, you're a normal girl after all.

"Senay, Aihan, you both look great."

And as I approached him with a voice...... Senay and Aihan took the braided hair in their hands.

"Look, look, it's beautiful!

"... Hilarious"

And he returns the word.

Two of the things that are still out there are smiling at me, and no, I can't hide my surprise that it's something that will change in this short time.

When I see a smile that I don't think is very much the same person as the kids that blocked me up until a while ago, I'm just impressed that gems and beautiful objects still work best for girls.

Kneel in to gaze with Senay and Aihan.

"What kind of jewel is this?

And when I ask the question, the two of them follow me and give me a hard explanation with the wrong name of the gem...... I can't stop my cheeks from loosening to that smiling sight.

I want to see more of you two smiling like that, and what about this gem? What about this jewel? and i repeat the question, senai and ihan honestly respond to it.

When me and Senay do that, Arner takes out two yellow gems that are a little big to lower from the jewelry box to his hair and starts working on them.

Drill a hole with an iron needle, smooth the sharpening with the leather of a rough beast there, and put a string through the hole... apparently you're making a pendant.

Having completed the pendant, Arner offers it to the Senays with two pendants on his palm and speaks in a slow and quiet voice.

"Senay, your name means' beautiful as the moon 'in old words.

Aihan, your name means' holy moon 'or' god of the moon 'in old words.

I don't know what your parents thought and gave it that name, but I wonder what month you had in mind.

So I'll give you this jewel called Aye.

Aye is the jewel they say holds the power of the moon, this whole moon is Senai, the missing moon is Aihan... take care of it "

That's what I'm gonna say. I'm gonna put the pendant I just made on Senay and Aihan's neck, Arner.

Senai and Aihan start to sneeze and warp their faces to tears with the joy of receiving gems, the surprise of knowing what their names mean and the sadness of remembering their parents.

To those Senays. Me and Arner gaze at each other, and nod at each other... comfort me as I hug Senay and stroke her head, comfort Arner as she hugs Aihan and strokes her back.

Continue to stroke about Senai as you feel the body temperature of Guthriggli and the crying child go up.

No, I didn't know you two names meant that, in old words, of the moon... Hmm? Old words?

"Hey, Arner.

You said that old word when you decided on the name of the village.

I thought I was the only word that could be passed on to ghosts... maybe Senay and Aihan's parents have something to do with ghosts?

"... I don't even know that.

Old words are no longer used, they exist only in rhetoric that doesn't even know when they were used.

There may or may not be other people who know but ghosts... I don't know how to judge you. "

and Arner as he stroked about Aihan.

Hmmm...... Seems like you need to keep both in mind about Senay and Aihan's ears, and the old words......

And, what's up Francis, Francois, push your body so desperately?

Maermeyer.

Maermeyer.

"They want to comfort them, and they say they're good at giving up kids."

I nod so much to Arner's translation that I open up Senay and Aihan to Francis' hands...... no, I entrust it to the hair.

As Francis and the others rubbed their bodies, Senay and Aihan reacted immediately to Francis and his soft hairy sensations, and hugged him and kept crying gussy as he buried his face in his hair, and as soon as he thought that was how he was crying, he began to sleep with Sue.

A boulder, or something.

I've slept better since I started sleeping in Mair's hair bedding too...... Mair's hair, don't be afraid.

Francis and Francois stick their noses up with a trick just to say how they saw it while taking care of Senay and Aihan.

Not only me and Arner... but all the adults who watched it laughed quietly without raising their voices to keep the sleeping child awake.
