# 171 Cutting Instruments, and Suggestions.

"That's unacceptable"

"Why? If the child made between Toya and Pam is a woman, she will be raised in our tribe. If you're a man, the Omaes can raise you."

I don't talk about it, and Yumina just sighed.

"Unfortunately, you don't deserve to be Mr. Winter Night's wife. Pick it up."

"I don't want to be my wife. All you have to do is make kids. If you are with Towya, be the queen of the sea."

I don't know if the idea is simple. I repeat earlier. Pam said he came out of the Great Tree Sea looking for me. Maybe he's also quite smart because he learned the common language along the way.

A "daughter-in-law council" was once again held, turning away from the disturbances in the guild. The theme is "Accept Pam or Not?".

"I don't know what the Omaes are against."

"You're on your own to have children. But if that's also Mr. Winter Night's child, it's not the story. You choose tribal prosperity over Mr. Winter Night's happiness. I don't want anyone like that to have Mr. Winter Night's child."

My younger Yumina was staring at me and Pam was under a little pressure. Honestly, I'm scared too...

"... at least if it's about just fighting ability to have kids, it doesn't have to be Mr. Winter Night, it shouldn't be. Why don't we just have kids with other strong people?"

Linze releasing words like this one swells. She seems to be a dissident as well as Yumina.

"That's not true. I have already set up an" oath fang "for Towya. Towya belongs to Pam."

"Do something unsolicited. Dear Winter Night, I am not admitting that!

Get up from the chair and Hilda screams. "Pledge Fang" seems to mean the one that bit me. The point is, "This man is his thing, so don't get your hands on him" sign, he says.

Everywhere you are a top female, you can see a culture that doesn't think of the convenience of a man. Well, it's Amazones...

"Why do you want a child with the Winter Night Hall in the first place? I think there might be a reason for that."

When Yae asked Pam, she bit her lips, glaring at her face and whining small.

"... we are a battle tribe. But unlike other tribes, we do not do anything to attack from ourselves except when we get children. We have fought only to protect our own settlements. In recent years, however, raids from other tribes have intensified. We need stronger blood to maintain that position in the Great Tree Sea. To win the Cutting Rite."

"Shen no Ji? What's that?

Su tilts his neck and asks back. It's called pruning. They cut off some of the trees and branch leaves so that they can be shaped and easily fruited.

"" Cutting Rite "is the battle of tribes living in the Great Tree Sea. Once every ten years, those who represent the tribe fight and decide on the superiority and inferiority of the tribe. So the triumphant tribe becomes the" Tribe of the Tree King "at the apex of all tribes, and it can set one code for the Great Tree Sea."

Once every ten years. But, well, I kind of figured it out. The point is, the winner can set a code against the losing tribes.

"Is that code permissible for anything? Like," Get the people out of the sea somehow. "

Else asked me what I wanted to hear. If you could set the rules for anything you wanted, wouldn't you be able to "A be absolutely obedient to B" or something? No, "let me make a hundred codes" or something... Isn't that right?

It's a silly question that always goes up in situations like "let's just make one wish come true -" often with cartoons and stuff. "I won't accept your wish to increase," is the classic.

"I wish the Great Divine Tree would recognize me. It often passes unless it is a disgrace to the pride of the tribe."

"Dashinju?

"He is the patron saint of the Great Tree Sea. It is a being that gives shelter to all tribes and gives them the grace of the Spirit."

Is it like Michigi? But I wonder if the Spirit is like that dark Spirit who rammed in Ramish. Tree Spirit...... Forest Spirit or something. Is there a forest spirit in the Great Tree Sea?

They say there are many calm things about spirits. In the case of Ramish, they've been rampaged by long-closed resentment. I guess I've accumulated those negative emotions because I also fused with the Ramirez I called in.

It seems that the people of the Tree Sea worship the Great Divine Tree and live by the guidance of the Spirit. That's similar to Ramish's time in a way.

"Our tribe has been losing in the" Cutting Rite "for 70 years now. Other tribes are beginning to take in new blood. The sons of Pam and Towya will surely win the" Cutting Rite "and restore glory to the tribe. As it is, the Balm will destroy us, the Lauri."

"The Balm... are other tribes living in the Great Tree Sea?

"A woman is a tribe that should obey a man. Grabbing women from other tribes, giving birth to children, raising them as warriors if men, banishing them with their mothers if women"

You're no different from the Lauri... Just a man and a woman reversed. Come on. I think it's both.

This superior tribe of men, the Balm tribe, and the superior tribe of women, the Lauri tribe, are opposed to each other. Well, that's not gonna work.

They said these two tribes had opposing forces against each other, but the Lauri suffered a great deal from spider-shaped frays that appeared in the Great Tree Sea of Examples. It was a devastating blow, especially when the warriors representing the tribe died. That puts us in a situation where it is not strange whenever the Balms attack us.

"I've already given up this" pruning ritual ". Only pray that the Balm will survive and not become a" Tree King's Tribe ". But in that next" Cutting Rite "the sons of Pam and Towya will prevail, and our Lauri will be the" Tribe of the Tree King ""

It's a long story. Either way, I can't accept Pam in the present situation. I don't want to give birth to my own daughter to fight like that.

"When is the next Cutting Instrument?

"A month from now. It would be a disgrace to the tribe to lose without fighting, so you would join, but you would lose. Pam can't participate any more than he's here either. The Cutting Rite lets the tribes fight each other five brave men. If you're unlucky, you can die."

That's a mess. If you ask me, it seems to be a one-off rule game. Hey, it's like a five-to-five game winner. This is becoming more and more like the Great Tree Sea Martial Arts Society.

……………………

"Mr. Yumina?

Lou speaks to Yumina like he's thinking about something.

"Can you predict what code to add if the Balms win that" pruning ritual "?

"Probably the kind of code that drives the Lauri out of the tree sea. There are few hunting grounds and it is difficult to live. This will not hurt the pride of the tribe, but will slowly lead us to the path of doom. And we'll get our own hunting grounds for the ex-Lauri."

"So on the contrary, if the Lauri win, what kind of code do you want?

"On the contrary, drive the Balms out of the tree sea"

I don't know... really both of them. I wish we lived together. Be equal to men and women.... You've been thinking deeply about gender equality lately... Especially in the family.

"After all, you want a child with Mr. Winter Night to get rid of that Balm tribe, so here's the deal, huh?

"That's not the only purpose, but it's generally not wrong"

"... ok. Then let's make a deal. Let us let the Lauri win this Cutting Rite and lead them to the Tribe of the Tree King. Instead, I ask you to give up on winter and evening."

Huh!? Are you serious? Join such a "Great Tree Sea Martial Arts Party"!? Well, I'd love to do something about Pam, too, but I don't give a shit about kids, and that's probably the quickest way to fix it.

"... can you win?

"Come on. But I think it's better to wait to lose like this and bet in ten years"

Yumina returns a thin smile. I don't know, you've been compelling lately, this kid.

I mean, even if you had a baby with me about ten years later, you'd still be nine or so. I don't know if you want a kid like that to participate in a martial arts tournament.

"... fine. If you can really win, you can't even hope. If you can't, you can still keep the baby alive while you're with Toya."

"I don't think that's gonna happen."

Yumina and Pam laugh at each other. What is this frightening?

If we temporarily welcome Yumina and the Lauri, it seems that these helpful things will also be recognized. I feel weird as far as I'm concerned. It's like baseball and eight helpless outsiders. It already feels weird like it's a team of helpers and not the original team.

"Lord Yumina, are you serious?

"I think this is the best drop. Do you guys mind?

I look around but we all had no objection. No, to be honest, I had feelings for disagreement. 'Cause I didn't want everyone to get hurt. but if you disagree,

"Do you want to make a child with Pam so much? Really? Big tits? Is it because you have big tits?

And I felt like some of them would fall to the dark side, and I couldn't get it out of my mouth. My ladies have a lot of complexes there...... I think it's still growing.

In size, Yae > Hilda > > Linze > Else > Lou > Yumina > SU and so on. Pam's is on top of that eight.

One of these days, I'm gonna need you to smell some monstrous pills around Flora. If all of a sudden Yumina or something had huge boobs, I'd pull the other way......

"We will win the" Cutting Rite "as Rauli representatives and win the title of" Tribe of the Tree King ". If you're a member, you'll have a limited number of contestants."

"Right. As Pam leaves as a tribal representative, I guess the rest is me, Hachi, Hilda, Lou."

Indeed, Else is right, Yumina and Linze are not suitable for fighting. They're both in the rear guard, in the category of long-range fire. I have no fighting power to get to Su.

Still, with Rene occasionally, he seems to be learning martial arts and throwing from Mr. Lapis and Mr. Cecil. They say it's a maid's hobby. Is Su willing to be a maid of honor?

Anyway, it looks like we have a policy, for now, one paragraph? You're a party, but you couldn't let me say a word during the meeting. What the hell am I...

"Hey Sister Yumina, I have one question..."

"What is it?

Su joins his arms and turns his gaze toward Yumina as he twists his neck.

"Are you going to the Cutting Rite and the Strays who won't fight?

"That's well. Only then will I have to support you as a Rauli. And if anything happens, you might need a replacement."

"Winter night too?

"That's the most relevant person. I still want you all to support me, and if anything happens, I'm comfortable."

I certainly don't want to leave it all to everyone to know. [M] Naturally, I'm going for backup, and if anything goes wrong, I'm going to take the initiative. I don't know what it is. I don't think there's any obstruction.

"Yeah...... But you're not a man on winter nights, are you?

"Ah."

Everyone got a voice, including me. Yes, it was. If you're going to name the Lauri, it's odd to have a man. When something happens, without the title Lauri, "Keep your outsiders quiet," it can be. What do we do?

"... Womenswear, is it?"

"Wait a minute. Ah! Strongly disagree!

For the first time I opened my mouth to Lindsay's blurry whine.
