Isekai Ryouridou

27th of the Blue Moon.

On that day, a harvest feast was to be held in the settlement of Lou.

And, at the same time, it was due for the third expiration of the contract for the commerce of stalls in the Accommodation Town.

At the end of business, I return the stall to the Kimmus Tail Pavilion as usual, while I say thank you to the owner of the store, Milan-Math.

"Milan-Math, thank you for taking care of me this time.... Um, can I ask you to lend me a stall tomorrow as well?

"If you want me to lend it to you, it's business too. No reason to say no to anything."

While checking to see if there was any damage to the stall, Milan-Math responded that way on the Buddha top surface as usual.

"But you will continue to work at the Grand Tree Pavilion in the South, right? Then you'd better rent a stall over there, or you'll have to come and go.

"No, that doesn't mean any hassle. If it's not inconvenient, I'd like to take care of Kimmus' Tail Pavilion in the future."

Answering makes me a little worried.

"But the cost of a place and the cost of a stall loan alone isn't going to be a big deal for Milan-Math, is it? I don't know, I just feel uncomfortable bothering you.... Are you sure that engaging with us doesn't make Milan-Math in a bad position?

"You're a loud one forever. If it's going to be annoying, you're going to say a lot of things."

They've finished checking the stalls. Milan-Math is turning to me with an increasingly grumpy face.

Neither did the Late Boy, but after that fuss over the Sung family, there was no significant change in Milan-Math.

It's just a little bit too risky to look at, just a little bit more mouth to mouth against us.

How happy that slight change was for me would be, well, just to say, wild.

(Still, it's been over ten days since that noise)

Thinking of it that way, I can't forbid surprises just fine.

Some effects have been that the meeting with the people of the castle has been postponed until the thirtieth day of the Blue Moon, and these ten days have been truly peaceful days.

Though the people of Genos still felt incapable of defining their feelings for the people of the woods, not many of them turned their gaze to the exploring and suspicious. Peace itself on the surface.

Street sales are stable at around 140 meals, and are sold out every day when it comes to inn food.

Whether or not we can retain these peaceful days - we have no choice but to wait for the outcome of the talks in three days' time first.

"More than that, you start doing business right away tomorrow without putting in a break again? Normally, I would put a day off between this contract. Aren't you guys still having trouble with the money?

and Milan-Math has asked as such, with well-fattened arms assembled in front of his chest.

Of course, I'm not in any trouble with the money. Thirty days after the start of the business, what a total net profit reached 5484 red copper coins.

5484 red copper coins - roughly 457 heads of money if converted into giva horns and fangs.

Now, the daily cost of living doesn't cost a hundred red copper coins a month, and I haven't even gotten my hands on expensive items since I bought iron plates, cooking knives, and necklaces for parents. As an ingredient, expensive tau oil and cheese are known because the price is 10 or 20 red copper coins.

And tomorrow is the due date to finally receive the luggage I was ordering, the price of which was the highest ever 1,200 red copper coins - but still, 3700 red copper coins is the calculation that remains in hand.

Instead of being troubled by gold, these are the days when we wonder how to use this asset.

But still, there was a reason why I didn't want to leave the store.

"Actually, the East and South, regular guests of the stalls, leave Genos by the Blue Moon. Until then, I wanted to stay open without putting in time off."

"The East or the South?... Speaking of which, you said you started work on wholesale cooking even in the inn where the East people are staying"

"Yes. It's an inn called the Xuanrong Pavilion. Your husband is a nail."

"Oh, a stranger's shop with a rash in that eastern kingdom"

That's what I said, Milan-Math got his mouth shut.

What a difficult face.

I got worried about the Nail of the Xuanrong Pavilion and whether it was any certainty, but it looks more distracted by some other thought than that.

"... Um, what have you done?

Speaking out like that, Milan-Math returned to me in a hazy manner, and he glanced at me with another slightly angry eye.

"Nothing! If you've done your errands, go home. I still have a job to do."

"Excuse me. Well, thank you again tomorrow."

I was kind of a little concerned, but Milan-Math had started cleaning up the stalls so I had to back off, too.

With iron plates, iron pots and ingredients, four ladies - Vina-Lou, Sheila-Lou, Lara-Lou, and Lii-Sudra - point their feet at the front of the store.

Then Camua-Josh stood up dressed to block the exit to the street.

"Hey, good luck. Thanks again for a delicious snack today, Asta"

"Oh, thank you. Just a little hiccup."

It was supposed to be the first time in three days that I would be face-to-face with Camua, as it was only since the day one of the Totos cases fitted round. Instead, I feel like I see the Late Boy every day.

Camua laughs a lot at her usual pace as she floats around.

"If I could, I'd like to get Asta a warm snack. I'm busy rooting for example talks. Melfried's not in a position to leave the castle so easily that I'm probably the wingman who moves around."

Root for talks, huh?

It was Melfried's side, not Cycleus, who had applied for a postponement of the due date, so I'm sure he's insinuating something again.

"That's tiring, isn't it? I just hope that rooting isn't a ploy to plunge the people by the woods."

Let me put it that way, Camua spread her arms out of her mind.

"Why do we have to fall into the woods?" We're here to uncover the old evil of Cycleus, aren't we?

"Excuse me, I'm just kidding. When I've been talking to Camus lately, the evils of the people in me don't hesitate to appear on the table, do they? Reflect."

"No, well, if that's Asta's natural temper, it's a delightful change for me, too."

With that said, Camua wore a golden brown head with me.

"Well no. More than that, Asta, I wanted to ask you something.... Was today's dedication to the" Xuanrong Pavilion "one of baked goods or juice?

"Yes? Today, though it's juice."

I wonder what that is.

"Right or right. No, thank you very much. Then I guess I'll make it" Xuanrong Pavilion "today. If it's the same dedication every day, we'll have to alternate with" The Great Tree Pavilion in the South, "which is quite a troubling problem."

"Huh? Is Camua having dinner at the Xuanrong Pavilion or the Great Tree Pavilion in the South? It's Kimmus's Tail Pavilion you're sleeping in, isn't it?

"Yeah. But I can eat the food in the west, even if it's not Genos. Hey. For as long as you stay in Genos, what makes you want to eat Asta's Giva dish is a human being?

That said, Camua laughs a lot again.

"Explorer, do you think there are many people like me? Both the Xuanrong Pavilion and the Great Tree Pavilion in the South are always a big time for dinner. There are a lot of people in the west, and I don't think that all of them are guests very well. Yesterday, only a few of us saw the people of the east at the Great Tree Pavilion in the South."

"That's a thankful story - but Camus is staying at Kimmus's Tail Pavilion, isn't it? Well, wouldn't there be a corner standing between you and Milan-Math?

"It is the freedom of the guests to have dinner in which dining room. Milan-Math is not so small a person as to be blinded by such a small thing.... Besides," Kimmus's Tail Pavilion "isn't that high quality of dinner. Look, Milan-Math is getting young and losing his wife. I don't think your daughter ever had a chance to be a very good cook."

"... after all, in people's wickedness, it's not for you. It's not, Camua-Josh"

I was on the verge of getting a lot of blood pressure, but I managed to stop.

Calm is essential to dealing with Camus at times like this, I'm sure.

"So? Perhaps you are turning me on to" Kimmus's Tail Pavilion "to wholesale the dishes, so that I can give Milan-Math and your daughter a cooking guide, too, Camua-Josh?

"I don't mean to be putting Asta aside. However, I was hoping it would be easier if Giva food could be eaten at Kimmus's Tail Pavilion because it would eliminate the need to go out of my way to other inns."

"... I'm not going to imitate Milan-Math in this situation where I don't even know what kind of fringe I can have with the castle people yet, I am"

"Oh. So your chest won't hurt if you're going to involve the masters of Xuanrong Pavilion or the Great Tree Pavilion in the South?

"You'll be in a different position in Milan-Math with those people. Milan-Math is part of a 10-year-old case."

I lay the words on top of each other as I chill my head, which is about to boil.

"I have a desire to return my favor to Milan-Math, but first after finishing the talks in three days.... Um, I don't think so, but there's nothing like putting Milan-Math in a dangerous position to stop someone named Cycleus, is there?

"Do I look so ruthless? In the first place, I laid eyes on the Cycleus and Sung families because I wanted to clear the mindless of Milan-Math and Late, so I'm not going to imitate that kind of fall.... Just for the record, Kimmus's Tail Pavilion has about three people staying at the Guardian. Just in case Cycleus' poison fangs don't spread, I'm still shrinking my nerves, right?

"So tell me something important like that before you slap me lightly. After all, does Milan-Math become more or less in a dangerous position? Maybe I should move my stall contract to" The Great Tree Pavilion in the South "or something?

"No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Though Milan-Math is certainly a party to the incident ten years ago, he has also handed over the necklace of the people by the woods that his wife's elder brother was gripping to the guards at the time as evidence of the incident.... or if Milan-Math deserved to be a witness, Melfried would have uncovered Cycleus' sins at that point."

"Then why are you asking the Guardian for protection? If you're not in danger, aren't you supposed to need such caution?

"That's all I wanted to do. I can't laugh like this in case something happens to Milan-Math."

The smile feels soaker, and Camus' purple eyes flutter and sumptuous and hide his emotions.

"So Asta should behave as she thinks, without worrying about anything. I'd be very happy to have Giva food at Kimmus's Tail Pavilion, wouldn't I?

"Isn't that just convenient for Camus? In the first place, Milan-Math wouldn't feel comfortable with me being the guide to cooking."

"What do you think? Well, I guess I'm pretty sure I didn't have the temper to cut it out of myself when I had that feeling about Milan-Math."

When they said that, I became concerned about the sudden silence of Milan-Math as much as I had just done.

Was that - wouldn't it have looked like you were pushing your feelings and killing them?

I breathe small and bounce Camus' fluffy gaze back with my gaze.

"Anyway, it's all since the talks are safe in three days. Until the end of the blue moon, I won't be able to spread my hands."

"Yeah, yeah. I'll do my best to make sure everything goes in the right direction.... Oh, could you keep the" Guardian "story to yourself if you can? If it gets into Milan-Math's ear, they might get knocked out for saying something extra."

That being said, Camua-Josh kept laughing without showing any clear emotions.

◇

"Oh, already! You're totally late because Asta's been slapping you in the mouth forever!

Lara-Lew is puffy and angry as she follows the path to the woodland trapped by trees from left to right.

Looking at that red hair shaking like a horse's tail, he said, "Nothing. It's not that different time, is it?" And I'll see what I can do.

"I don't care if it's a day of nothing! It's a harvest feast! Maybe it's time for the family men to get together and start comparing their powers!

"Heh. Is the feast starting inside so bright?

"The feast comes after sundown! If we don't finish the power comparison by then, we won't be able to start dinner forever!? Damn, I don't know anything about it!

Sure, I don't know one thing. Apparently, the harvest feast and the yakuza were held only by a certain but large clan, and I could not get any information from Ayi-Fa.

Well, all I was asked to do was prepare dinner to be behaved like the winner of that power comparison, so I didn't care what. Nevertheless, I wonder how Lara-Luu is trying to get back to the settlement in such a hurry.

"... Comparing the power of the harvest feast is because it's a sunny stage for men. For unmarried women, it's also an important ritual for choosing son-in-law...?

And Vina-Lou, who was mainly responsible for the ingredients, sneaks me in the ear.

But after all, my doubts didn't go away.

"But Lara-Lew's only thirteen, so we're not allowed to have a wedding, are we? Does it matter if it is?

"I don't know that far. Wow... I guess someone even cares about the men...?

If you have a man who cares, do you want to see that sunny stage?

So finally, the point was made. My bluntness, too, is approximate.

"Um, I'll check again, but I'm not going to be pulled to the stage like that, am I?

"Ugh...? Well, I was invited to a feast, so Asta would be able to participate if she wanted..."

"I don't want it. I don't want it."

There's no reason why I can beat a set of men by the woods without a nanogram. Whatever competition that is, it will be until Raina-Lou or Lara-Lou at best that I can play a good game. To be honest, I don't think Vina-Lou can win a physical battle with his opponent.

"Better than that, hey, Asta... would you have gotten along so badly with that guy...?

"Huh? Is that guy talking about Camus? It's not like we're getting along."

"Really...? But you looked a lot angry...?

Were you going to conceit the poker face, but it made you see through?

Well, that's an emotion to put on the table.

"Well, there were some irritating occasions. But that's when I decided not to hide my thoughts and feelings and be cautious, but to bump into the truth as much as possible with Camus. Otherwise, I thought it would be difficult to bring out the true meaning of that neat Mitsuhito."

"Phew...? It's kind of a tricky story..."

Vina-Lou shrugs her shoulders colorfully, looking very uninterested.

It took us only four or fifty minutes to trample the sloping dirt path, and we went back to the woods.

As you walk north on a path that has only gotten a little wider, you will soon see the settlement of Luu. In front of her, she said goodbye to Li-Sudra, received the ingredients she was holding, and stepped into the grand square, which eventually showed an unusual business--

And I was to be struck down by amazement.

More people than you can imagine packing into the settlement of Lou. More than half of the more than a hundred members of Lou's family will be gathered together.

Most of them are young people. There are about the same number of men and women, but not many old people and children are seen. People like that are making hedges in the square and cheering.

At its centre, Ai-Fa was engaged in a fierce struggle against a big man who would strike at heaven.

"Hey, what are you doing, i-fa!

My whimpering voice like that is also cancelled by the cheers of people.

People were just as enthusiastic and cheering as the i-fa struggled.

Both are bare hands.

I haven't lowered my knife on my hips, and I haven't wrapped my fur cloak around it.

But that made me look like I was in an unprecedented predicament.

The other man is no less of a giant than Mida if only his upper back. He's nearly two meters tall and weighs no less than a hundred kilos. He's a big man with long limbs and thick chest plates.

Such a horrible big man is about to stretch out his monkey arm and grab me by the eye-fa.

Of course I don't grab it so easily because I'm an eye-fa with exceptional physical abilities, but I just dodge a man's fingertips to the left to the right and don't try to turn to counterattack. No matter how eye-fa, it should be impossible to face such a physically challenging opponent with bare hands.

"What is it, this! How come no one tries to put this noise away!?

"Yep... because I couldn't interrupt the hunter's power comparison...?

Vina-Lou looks back at me with a decent face.

"Comparison of powers? Are you saying this is the power comparison? Isn't this just a fight! Mostly, how come I'm in on something like that!?

"I don't know about that... Whatever, it's a strong contraindication to hurt someone, so don't worry. Wow..."

Hurting someone is contraindicated?

Even so, that big man is chasing Ai-Fa around in a grumpy fashion as he wields his arms like a gray bear. Wouldn't that arm just hit your body and crush human bones and so on easily?

"I can't look at this! Let me stop you!

"Oh, no..." a loud cheer shook the woods when Vina-Lou was about to say.

I turned my eyes in a hurry, and I was about to accidentally take off the iron plate in that hand.

An eye-fa who jumped backwards took his leg off a little bit of a groove on the ground, and he snapped.

Even the big man kicks on the ground and flesh-presses himself on Ai-Fa.

Rest in peace.

I was about to raise my voice of despair, visioning Ey-Fa's body blowing up like it could be dialed into a dump car, too luxurious and sneaky compared to the big man.

But...

Being greatly disfigured, Ai-Fa waved its supple right leg high as it took half a fall, not trying to force it over.

The toe touches the shoulder of the big man who came running.

As it was, Ai-Fa also used the thrust of the big man to jump further backwards.

Besides, instead of just leaping, Ai-Fa glanced at her body in the air, flattening her right hand onto the ground for just a moment, so-called bac spinning - backwards upside down spinning jumping, landing brilliantly.

The cheer finally stirs up the atmosphere violently.

The big man let go of his anger and stuck it from his head to Ai-Fa again.

It's because of six or seven meters. The distance is packed in no time.

Now it was time for the big man's hand to nearly capture Ai-Fa's body.

But on the verge of that crunchy fingertip touching the area around his arm, Ey-Fa's appearance swept away.

On the lower side, it sank.

Sinking, Ai-Fa stretched his right leg straight across and swirled behind him.

Kung Fu action yet, it's a water kick.

None. The big man falls from his back, having his right ankle pruned from the rear to the right heel of Ey-Fa.

Ai-Fa wakes herself up quickly and the man rushes to give her upper body too.

At the same time, "Until then!" The sharp voice dimensioned the boiling atmosphere.

"It is the victory of the Ai-Fa in the house of Fa. Jii-Maam of Maam's house should not retreat."

The voice full of majesty is covered with applause and praise.

The big man, mindless roaring, slapped his fists on both arms to the ground.

"Wow! I killed Jii-Maam! Jii-Maam is brave enough to have a good fight with Brother Durm, isn't he?

It was Lara-Lew who gave him the voice he had shaken that way.

I manage to hold onto the iron plate as it seems to creep in.

Then - Ay-fa approached us with the cheer of 10,000 thunder all over him.

"Have you finally left? That was late, Asta."

"Oh, it wasn't too late! What are you doing, you!?

"What are you fussing about? Compared to the power of a hunter?

With all that fierce fighting going on, Ai-Fa didn't have a single sweat on him.

"I had never heard of a harvest feast or anything like that, but compared to the power of the hunter, I had been nothing from an early age. Compared to my father, Gil, he was no match for me."

"That's why! Wouldn't you like it and do such a dangerous imitation? Because we're guests!

"I didn't like them from me. I was challenged, so I just dealt with him."

And, Ai-Fa nearly let her lips grip dissatisfied.

but notice the gaze of the Lara-Lew's and keep a majestic look.

"Nevertheless, I was surprised to be able to leave Jii-Maam. You're a really powerful hunter, aren't you, Ai-Fa?"

It was Sheila-Lou, who was carrying the iron pot along with Lara-Lou, who said so as to be taken for granted.

"Asta, the hunter's power comparison is also known as a martial arts meeting, but there is a decision that you should never hurt your opponent. So it's better to compete with your powers and moves unarmed and have your opponent's torso on the ground.... I'm a little bad at seeing the men raging, too, but it's never a dangerous fight, is it?

Sheila-Lou's voice, which is calm at all times, seemed to have a sedative effect, perhaps.

I was blaming Ai-Fa for dressing up in an upset mood, and I reflect a little and put my head on the towel.

"Well, then, I'm sorry I yelled at you all of a sudden.... but you'll help me after this, won't you? Or do you still want to meet him and join him in that fight?

"So I'm telling you I didn't join you all the time wanting to? That man named Jii-Maam has challenged me, saying that hunters' work is not boring on the ladies, etc. You can't back down until you say so, so I'm just trying to show you my power as a hunter."

Saying, Ai-Fa shrugged one shoulder.

"As promised, let's help Kamadu do his job today. Gibba brought it from the house and left it hanging over there."

"Huh? You still hunted Giva today? That's two days in a row."

"When you can hunt, you can hunt as much as you want. You didn't do the sacrifice hunt, did you?

That's what Ai-Fa said, like hitting the lead.

Apparently the injury has healed completely and is in excellent physical and mental condition.

I'm too dependable to forbid sighing.

"Okay. Thank you. Let's get ready."

"Um," he nodded with a solemn face, before Ai-Fa gently turned to me.

from the Vina-Lou and others, so that their expressions become blind spots, with very subtle repositioning.

"You must be really worried, Asta. I'm not the one who's gonna be late for what?

"Oh, maybe that's true..."

"Don't even say it to everyone. I'm not going to blame you for showing me around. However, I also had a desire to compare myself to the power of crackling. So I didn't feel like saying no. - Forgive me."

That being said, at such a distance that it would take exhalation, Ai-Fa looked pleasantly white teeth.

I decided to have another sigh of relief when I was smiled at and wondered if I was willing to complain about it.
