Isekai Ryouridou
Shogun - Two Mornings
When I woke up, Ai-Fa's restful sleeping face was in front of me.
It was a transcendental closeness, so much so that my heart was about to stop too close in front of me.
It is almost a few centimeters nose tip position.
Only there is a slight opening of the pale little lips of the pigment, and he rests soundly.
Golden brown eyelashes, very long.
Beautiful hair of the same colour rests on her forehead and cheeks as if it were a decoration.
What a restful sleeping face.
The way you looked like you were in pain yesterday sounds like a lie.
Unguarded like a baby, you look a lot younger than your actual age, an unusual sleeping face -
But that's not goodbye, it's too close.
While I gained a bit of unspoken happiness, I also became fiercely confused.
Ai-fa slept easily with his head on my left shoulder.
Down on the right side of his body, Ai-Fa is lying on his side.
And he leans perfectly against my body, where he slept on his back.
The moment I perceived it, my left half of my body, which was touching I-Fa, was feeling rapidly feverish.
However, only the left arm has a dull sensation. Perhaps the blood flow has been hindered a lot.
... Let's calm down first.
The one in the heart was starting to drum hard, but we have to deal with it calmly anyway.
Um.
Um.
In what condition did I fall asleep last night, I rush to scrutinize my memory nest.
Yesterday, Ai-Fa suffered a serious injury called dislocation of her left elbow.
So I slept all the way to dinner.
I fed him that supper.
Was the hot and cold herb working, the eye-fa was blurry all the time, about to drop the vessel when left alone.
Even if not, it's a table that doesn't exist at the table, so you can't even eat with one arm. I spent about half an hour eating soup, hamburger and grilled Poitan.
Afterwards, Ai-Fa sat blurry all the time, as it was brought to the wall.
The fever had dropped a lot, and it didn't seem to hurt badly, but anyway, I-Fa had become much blurred.
Maybe that leaf also had a sedative effect. Losing his usual tenacious feel, Ai-Fa was kind of so young that he looked so unreliable.
Breaking my heart about such an unusual eye-fa, I worked on the culinary offering.
While simmering the sauce of the tarrapa, I had to cut the meat from the 90 meals of "Grilled Myrmu".
Until I finished the planting, it seemed like I-Fa was sleeping and waking up silently repeatedly.
So, when I finished the planting,
Once again, I'm starting to get fever.
I gave him another hot and cold pill, but Ai-Fa remained bitter.
I squeezed a wet cloth in the water many times and did it over the face of Ey-Fa, but that stuff only gave me a break.
"Enough... just sit next to me for a while..."
"Next door?
When I responded to that word without knowing it, Ai-Fa brought it to my shoulder.
My body is so hot.
Foreheads, etc., are like fire.
"This is fine... when this heat draws, the body regains its strength..."
Ey-Fa's body was shaking a little.
My forehead and torso were hot, but the fingertips on my right hand that grabbed my chest seemed to be getting cold as ice.
Grabbing that cold fingertip tightly, Ai-Fa stared at me with her eyes moistened with fever.
"... if not uncomfortable, stay like this for a while..."
"It's not offensive, and it doesn't matter if it's offensive"
And so, until the beast fat candle ran out, I stared at Ai-Fa's seemingly sticky side the whole time.
After the beast fat candle ran out, he stared in the moonlight.
Eventually, when the anguished expression disappeared from its face, he heard a restful sleep.
Good - and to the point where I grazed my chest, I remember.
And that means I fell asleep as well?
Now, the sun is shining through the window.
From the addition and subtraction of its brightness, it does not appear that it has overslept heavily.
If you look at it, the wall of the house hangs over the other side of Ai-Fa.
I guess we fell asleep against the wall and sank onto a sloppy floor.
If my body was cushioned and there wasn't any damage to my left arm, it's more than that.
Most importantly, this posture is too awkward.
Or so, when I moved rampantly, it was going to sound like an injury, so there seemed to be nothing else here to wake me up to.
"Ai-Fa, it's morning...... can you wake up?
Ai-Fa, "Yeah," he said, sounding loud.
Speaking of which - the very fact that I wake up before I-Fa is a rarity.
Besides, if it's a regular eye-fa, it should open a punch in the middle of a single call.
So... will my chest make so much noise?
The sleeping face of Ey-Fa, which swoops like a child, was a disobedient affection.
"You can go back to sleep, once you wake up. I can't move like this."
"... obnoxious..." he said, crushing with a small voice, ai-fa clutching and pressing his head.
Yeah, I wonder what it is now. My head, which has calmed down because of this, is going to be confused again.
"I'm the head of the family... don't slap the head of the family in the face..."
This is totally sleepy.
I think it's a scene as precious as Darum-Lou's smile about how I fell asleep.
But it is our self who cannot enjoy its appearance forever.
"Lord Parent. It's morning work time. Since I have to clean up after supper, won't you wake up?
"Yeah......" Ai-Fa lifts her cursory eyelids as she raises her lovely voice again.
Those, poorly focused blue eyes stared at me from close range.
"... Asta..."
"Yes, it's my family's asta"
"... um... you're Asta..." and other meaningless recitals, then Ai-Fa smiled.
That ai-fa.
grinning, is.
And Ai-Fa began to close her eyelids loosely again, with that gruesome smile on her face in Ai-Fa.
"... it was Asta..."
"No, you don't! It's morning! It's morning, parent!
Then, this time, the eyelids opened, as usual.
My eyes, finally in focus, look strangely at my face, relieved.
"... why are you so stuck on me, Asta?
"No matter what you think, you're the one who's pulling it off.... I think I accidentally fell asleep last night while I was pulling."
"... did I? You don't remember," Ai-Fa quickly closed her eyelids.
"Well, thanks to you, the fever seems to have dropped..."
And get a lovely sleep called "kuku".
"No, don't go back to sleep! Work! Because I have to work!
I couldn't help but feel relieved that Ai-Fa didn't look a little bitter.
Eye-Fa's eyelids open three times and he looks at me dissatisfied.
"... is it morning already"
"I don't care what you think of this brightness."
"Right. Again, if you mouth Rom's leaves, your body seems to be going crazy. I want to stay asleep for a while longer."
With that said, Ai-Fa has rubbed his head to my chest a little again.
You wake me up like that.
"But that's not how it works. - You've totally taken care of me, Asta."
"No... I think I'm feeling better. More than anything."
I wake up slowly too, blurring in my heart that it was the last few minutes that were the toughest.
Ai-Fa clasped over the floor, only her right arm up to her mmm.
"The fever has dropped, and the pain has pulled off a lot. So let's get to work in the morning."
"Huh? No, you stay put. I'll clean up the laundry."
"What to pluck. If the Sung show up, what are you going to do?
"No matter how insane those guys are, you won't be pushing them first thing in the morning like that! In a way, it's also the time of the first person.... more importantly, aren't you an injured man?
"Hmm? You think I'm going to lag behind those people because I can't use my left arm?
And, Ai-Fa grips her lips dissatisfied.
"Even if the three brothers in the main house call me together, there's no such thing as a safe right arm.... If the elder brother of the Lew family is his opponent, he'll have no choice but to escape."
What are people by the woods that can measure the power of their opponents so accurately?
Or - is Ai-Fa confident that even Ziza-Lou can be defeated if the five bodies are satisfied?
Rudd-Lou's words, which were crushing that it was about Donda-Lou who could defeat Camua-Josh, shook his head.
"... anyway, that arm. Then you can't do water work, can you? If anything happens, I'm gonna run and run, so you need to rest."
"Uhm.... well, I don't really want to walk around the settlement exposing myself to this. I'll leave you to work on the water field."
And that's what Ai-Fa said, still looking a little dissatisfied.
"Then I'll get rid of the house work. Don't be alarmed, all right?
"Oh. But shouldn't you really rest? It would be worse if the fever came out again."
"When I say it's okay, it's okay. I don't have any strange pain in my bones, and my hands and feet are full of strength. This would make it faster to move as usual and heal your wounds"
And then, with a slight calm eye, you stare at me.
"Besides, I feel like yesterday's meal is getting right and flesh, and the fever dropped so much faster than it did when I suffered the same wound a year ago. All thanks to you, Asta."
"... I'm so glad you said that."
I finally got a smile on my face.
Ai-fa, too, laughs just in front of her eyes.
"Then we'll get to work, Asta."
◇
Of course, on the journey to the water field, there was nothing like being raided by the Sung family.
Unless you lose your sense in alcohol, you shouldn't have to worry about this morning because you're supposed to be a Sung family that can't be fooled around with your tits.
But I was supposed to see Mida-Sung as a Tae-Sung.
Those two probably don't do anything to make them get drunk and get violent.
Instead, there's a creep who doesn't know what to do.
It is also a mystery how far Mida-Sung and others have the intelligence to understand the parents' statements, and Tae-Sung and others can't get inside more than that.
If this happens, we'll have to be on guard for twenty-four hours now.
"Is that it? What, what's that outfit?
When I finished washing and went back to the house, Ai-Fa was waiting for me in the hunter's outfit.
The fur cloak is not to mention fully armed, hanging up to the knife.
"What is what? Now that the house has been cleared of work, the next step would be to collect firewood and pico leaves?
"Hey, can we take a break today or so? It'll be tough going into the woods with that body."
As I answer, I set the washed iron pan on my skin, pour only two glasses of water in the pattern, and then I peel the firewood.
Before we head to the edge of the woods, we have to boil the poiton first.
And washed clothes are also on the wall.
Only one T-shirt and white towel came in a lot of the year.
Jen-royal in the middle of the room, Ai-Fa raises her dissatisfied voice again as she follows me around the house for a moment with her eyes.
"That care is unnecessary. If you fail to work even in one day, tomorrow's work will be heavier.... Besides, since you started doing business in Inn Town, doesn't it seem that Pico's leaves have been damaged faster?
Of course I was aware of that.
Pico leaves are spices that wick away the moisture from the meat while providing an effect of preservation.
So, if you finish cutting commercial patties and meat by the day before and nod them back into the pico leaves, it seems that the pico leaves will result in how much moisture you inhale because of the increased surface area than the large pieces of meat you cut.
"Maybe you'll need to replace the total Pico leaves without waiting a month. Even more so, should we gather them loosely?
"Hmmm... maybe that's true..."
"Plus yesterday, I was supposed to sweat to death. I can't wait to take a bath in the water," Ai-Fa wrinkled on the head of her nose.
"If this is how you wrap your hunter's clothes around you, you can also hide your wounded arms. There's nothing to show you."
Still, when I didn't turn off the color of confusion, I-Fa changed his expression a bit.
"Asta. I know very well that you are showing me around. But you really don't have to worry. I am only faithfully obeying the voices I hear from my body.... trust my judgment."
"... ok"
Eye-Fa's eyes had enough calm and strength to believe.
I should believe that Ai-Fa, who is proud to be a hunter, cannot be unscrupulous enough to delay the recovery of his injuries.
Thus, after boiling 50 commercial + 3 spare portions + 2 fine + 4 potatoes for dinner, leave to the edge of the forest with a bag for filling firewood and pico leaves.
It is the usual, morning sight.
However, Ai-Fa was trying to completely hide his left half by shifting the direction of his cape only slightly, and yet he had long golden brown hair, loosely bound on his left.
I usually tie it from neck to top into a complicated shape, but it's kind of like Vina-Lou's hair today.
"I = fa. That hairstyle is pretty fresh. After all, is it hard to tie you to your usual shape with one hand?
"Hmm. How is this so difficult?"
"Wouldn't it be nice sometimes? You look great."
Beauty really gets it, I add in my heart.
As he walked down the yellow-treaded and solidified path, Ai-Fa snorted as if it were "hum" and uninteresting.
"I'd really like to keep it short so that my hair doesn't get in the way. I just want it to be completely obsolete."
There is a stigma that women should not cut their hair until they enter their daughter-in-law.
Is it possible that this beautiful golden brown hair of Ey-Fa can be cut off completely - by the way?
That's how I arrived at Rant's river.
It is a calm river that flows through the edge of the forest.
The riverside around here is rocky, but if you go back a bit more, you'll be greener, and you can pick all you want Pico leaves.
but first it was the mourning of Fa's house that he bathed in the water and purified himself before it.
"Are you sure you're all right? Don't let the river run you down, okay?
"Terrible," he says, and Ai-Fa entrusts him with his necklace and cape.
Thus, from behind the cloak that I had brought to me, a cloth with a pattern almost identical to the cloth I was wearing was pulled out.
"Oh well. You didn't go to the water field."
They usually change first thing in the morning and wash their dirty clothes in the water.
"Can you wash it with one arm? I don't know if I can wash it."
"... if you know what I mean, don't bother putting it in my mouth," he scoffed at me with his slightly narrowed eyes, then Ai-Fa circled in the shadow of a large rock mass.
This is also the usual sight.
Almost forty days have passed since I started living with Ai-Fa.
The first morning, on this riverside, we attacked Madarama's serpent and Giva in a wave.
I haven't been hit by such a strange disaster since that morning. I decided to pray that on this morning, when Ai-Fa's body was in a state of disabling, there would be no trouble at the pinpoint.
As I lay my back on the rock masses and monitor the woods, I am called "Asta" by the river.
"What, what's up?
"... it's been more than a month since you've lived in Fa's house."
What, I feel a little fun wondering if I-Fa was thinking the same thing.
"Right. It was only forty days - but don't even think it was only forty days."
"Uhm.... today is the second day of the blue moon,"
Ooh, it's unusual for words like that to come out of the mouth of an eye-fa.
To figure out the periodicity of Giva's journey, I don't know much about it, as I seem to have a good grasp of the calendar, but it doesn't interfere with any other everyday life.
"Seems so. We have thirteen days before Camua's old man travels.... So, what's wrong with the blue moon?
"... no. It's nothing big."
"No way, is your birthday coming up or something?
"I was born on a red moon"
What the hell, when will I visit it?
And I was made to realize that I had even lost my birthday.
Counting backwards, it is possible to know how many days from now a birthday will come, but either way it is a different world that does not work, such as Gregorian history. It would be unhelpful to apply my birthday, etc. to the calendar of this world, which is 13 months once every three years.
Whatever it was, I was a freshly seventeen-year-old sophomore in high school in the original world. Half a month after his birthday, he was struck by that strange calamity.
Then - you might want to set the day I appear in this other world as my second birthday.
(I wonder if this is how I can keep sitting in this world after a year or two)
Or will you suddenly be drawn back to the sea of fire of this world to trace back your original destiny?
Or being thrown out into a completely different world again - no, I'm absolutely sorry for that fate alone.
of previous life, lose everything. I don't think my spirit is tough enough to stand such an experience twice.
If I had thought about that, I would have been called "Asta" again.
"Come here for a second"
"Huh? I guess the bath's done, huh?
"Uhm."
"I guess I got dressed exactly, huh?
"... what are you thinking, you," he said, angry at Ai-Fa's voice, so I quickly moved behind the rock mass.
An eye-fa with an agua on the river crept at me with a slightly frightened face.
Of course, I have been dressed thoroughly, and on the contrary, it is perfect to the treatment of my left arm.
However, from the head tilted to the right, long, slightly wet hair draped down to the ground.
"It's hard to wipe your head with one hand," Ai-Fa says with an angry face sticking out her hand plush.
"I see," he said, on one knee on the rock, and I let him do as the parents requested.
Even now, it is a pleasure to be of service to Ai-Fa.
"... really, long hair, etc., is just slight," I = fa has made into a letter to his mouth.
"Well don't say that. Because you have such beautiful hair."
"Hmm. This kind of hair that brings out the light when you do it just gets in the way of the hunt. Then I'd rather have black hair like my father Gil."
and is an eye-fa who clutches his mouth at a slightly unnatural time.
"What's up?," he asks, "No," he lays down his gaze.
"I just remembered a long time ago that you talked to Ziba-Lou and Rimi-Lou like this too"
"Oh, really?"
Speaking of which, I feel a lot alienated from both Ziba-Lou and Limi-Lou.
I guess this is my original life, but I miss those days when I was staying in Luu's settlement.
"... right. Hey, Ai-Fa. Whatever it takes, you can't even do your hunting job with that body, can you?
"Naturally, you will need to rest for about ten to half months"
"Then, in the meantime, why don't you take care of me in Luu's settlement during the day?
I lift my eyes like an eye-fa pounding as my hair is plucked by me.
"Why? There's no reason to imitate that."
"'Cause you're just resting at home, aren't you? Besides... I knew you were worried about the Sung family trend.
"The Sung family doesn't know that I've had a hand injury, etc."
"Even if you don't know, there's a chance you're going to set me up with a joke, right?
"I'll just pay you back then. I don't think it's the Sung family that's more dangerous because they won't be able to do anything."
"No, but come on..."
"Asta. It's wrong for us to be sweet to the Lew family, not even family members"
and from the gap in the damp forehead, the eye-fa turns a harsh eye.
"If we were to imitate that, we would have to pay the corresponding price"
"Am I supposed to pay the price? Then there's some looseness in life, and you can think about it a little bit?
Then this time, a suspicious light lit the eyes of Ai-Fa.
"So why do you have to imitate that? As I was saying, I'm not the one who's gonna be late for the Sung family with all these bruises?
"Yeah, if you say so, maybe that's true... but if it's not even an opportunity like this, you can't even face Rimi-Lou or Ziba-Lou, can you?
"... stick around, you don't have to worry about that," Ai-Fa let her lips hang a little for some reason.
"Even without exchanging words or anything, my heart is with Rimi-Lou and Ziba-Lou.... thanks to you for reconnecting me, I can think like that"
"Oh, that 's-- that's really good."
I accidentally smile at my chest, and I-Fa pokes me in the fist.
"Except I'm not going to tie any more edges to the Lew family"
"Huh?"
"I don't think I should be too close to my second brother in the main house - and besides, my next sister doesn't seem to like me"
"Rayna-Lew... I don't think I hate you for anything"
"With me, I don't know the mood of others. But it is true that that next sister recommended me to dowry into the Lou family.... and if that doesn't work, I was also told why don't we at least move your figure from fa to another house"
"... oh, you did"
"I'm not going to dowry on anyone, and I'm not going to kick you out of Fa's house. There's no way I can be sweet in Lou's house."
"But... if you pay the price, it won't be sweet, will it?
Even though I ate down, Ai-Fa shook her head to the side in a small way.
"If that's what you need, that's fine, too. But I am not weak enough for once to seek refuge in the Lou family, and I do not intend to imitate that, just to face Ziba-Lou or Rimi-Lou"
"Hmmm...... but what do we need to avoid Rayna-Luu or Darm-Luu so hard?
Even me, face-to-face with Rayna-Lew is awkward.
But if I keep avoiding it just because it's awkward, won't the current bad situation just continue for the rest of my life?
Of course, approaching the point where there is no prospect of restoring the relationship may well just be an act of aggravating the situation. Still, wouldn't they be too quick to break off "I'm not going to tie the edge" because they're Ziba-Lou's or Limi-Lu's family?
"... I am on edge with Rimi-Lou or Ziba-Lou, regardless of the house or anything else. I've always been that way since the first day I knew him, and I've never been dissatisfied with that."
That's how I-Fa looked at me, with a terribly quiet eye.
"And I have you. If you were there, and Ziba-Lou or Rimi-Lou were there, there's nothing more you want. Two years before I lost my father Gil and met you, I was alone.... I'm full of it."
"... right"
That was such a delightful word that my chest was stuck.
But still - is it only a great favor for Ai-Fa to think that Ai-Fa could bond with a larger number of people and live richer raw?
If your fringe with Dalm-Lou or Raina-Lou has become a bad one, is it - unhelpful and only an act of recklessness - to strive to reconnect it as a good one?
If I can do this, I myself want to build a good relationship with Darum-Lou and Raina-Lou.
Sometimes I wonder if I could build a little more friendly relations with Donda-Lou and Giza -Lou.
Is that only an imitation that would cause chaos on the flat ground?
Is it only a thought-provoking idea, not commensurate with my vessel?
(But...)
Apart from that, I'm starting to feel that it's untrue to rely on the Lew family in this situation, too.
It may be too untrue - but Raina-Lou insisted it was dangerous to leave me at Fa's house. Then relying on Lew's house for that reason by the handwounded Ai-Fa, even if not untrue, could be an act of crushing Ai-Fa's face.
"Okay. I'll undo what I just said. My thoughts were shallow."
"You're usually shallow."
"... hey"
"Isn't it less shallow?
"Hey! When you tell me the truth, people are hurting you, okay?
"It's a joke. What the hell."
And i-fa said with a face.
And poke me in the chest one more time.
"You always say things you don't quite understand, but it's not always going to be unpleasant. When you're uncomfortable, stop beating, and say whatever you don't care about in the future."
"... I don't want to be beaten up, so I'll be silent," I responded lightly, "No," he returned in a strong tone.
"Say anything. Don't hide your feelings or moods from me."
"... then you'd do the same, wouldn't you?" Then Ai-Fa returned, with a few lips again, "... I intend to make an effort," he said.
I kind of slapped Ey-Fa in the head, pounding him, as he swung his chest in a strange breeze.
"Okay. I guess it's time for some hair."
"Um," Ai-Fa cleverly blushed the leather string with only her right hand and mouth and began to make long hair again.
"... roughly, the most troublesome thing in the Sung family today would be my youngest brother, not my oldest brother or second brother? Then it's not me who's in a dangerous position, is it you, Asta?
"Oh. So every day, I'm gonna be nervous."
"Hmm.... from today on, I'm going down to town too, right?
"Huh?"
"If you have to rest your body anyway, it's the same thing as staying home and going down to town.... Then it would be better if you could see what you are, but your mind would still be relieved?
That's what I'm saying, Ai-Fa's gonna stare at my face.
"I won't be in the way of my job, and I would be able to help a little if I were to carry my baggage. Sleep, sleep properly.... or is it also inconvenient for me to go down to town, you?
"It's nothing. If you do, I'll be relieved."
I could say that from the bottom of my heart.
Accommodation Town is never a safe place, but it is more reassuring than leaving it alone at home.
Except - that day never ended as usual.
Business in Inn Town was able to end extremely well. From that day on, we became the feathers to be looked after in Luu's settlement.
I = fa's injuries, etc. don't really matter.
What drove our plans crazy was the presence of a certain intruder who visited Inn Town at work.
The new Sung family finally put their backs on me and Ai-Fa.
