Yun-Sudra's Depression ③ - Small Family Parents
"I'm so sorry!," he suddenly decided to apologize to Yun-Sudra the next morning.
It was just before I started doing business. Yun-Sudra, who visited Fa's house earlier than the rest of the women, had bowed his head deeply in front of me and Ai-Fa.
"Or put your face up, Yun-Sudra. It's not like you're apologizing, is it?
"No! I can't believe Joo-Run told the Astas the story... I had a hard time putting up with not slapping that face again!
While stating so, Yun-Sudra has looked up to me and Ai-Fa.
That face is turning so bright that we couldn't beat it last night.
"Ki, I'm sure both Asta and I-Fa will have felt sarcastically uncomfortable. I am truly, truly sorry."
"If you're uncomfortable, it's against that prick. You don't have to feel sorry for yourself like that."
"No, but... I guess one of the reasons I felt so bad about Asta in the first place..."
and Yun-Sudra twisted as she rocked the grey-brown sidetail.
"But I made my own decision to break down that feeling. I know you've heard it from Asta, but I just hope you don't doubt that."
"I don't doubt that word, and about it, it's not as if we're apologized for"
"No, because I wish to spin the right edge with Asta and Ey-Fa... I am truly sorry for the noise we have made in this way"
Saying, Yun-Sudra gets smaller and smaller.
Ai-Fa stared at the look of it with what a complicated face it seemed.
"Whatever it is, it doesn't matter about us. Were you willing to reveal the situation to Sudra and the people of Run?
"Yes, I was worried that if I uncovered this kind of situation, it would annoy the I-fa's as well... I was talking to Joo-Lan this morning and I changed my mind. And it also made me sad that Joo-Run was an irresistible temper."
Anyway, Yun-Sudra looked outraged that Joo-Run had revealed the situation to us.
But I guess that's a natural story, too. He should have first united his will with Yun-Sudra before visiting Fa's house.
"I have the lodging town business as it is today, so I would like to clarify the situation when the parents return from the woods in the evening. I'm sorry, but please keep it a secret until then."
"I see. I repeat, I don't think you're guilty. It was your bad luck to get involved with such a liar."
"... I can't get over the feeling that I'm guilty too, but I'm so glad you said that to Ai-Fa"
Yun-Sudra smiled with a grin as she still left a little redness on her cheek.
"Now, let's get to work. I apologize for letting you take the extra time"
As Yun-Sudra disappeared into Kamadu's cabin, Ai-Fa took a small breath.
"Yun-Sudra has a really straight mind. I don't understand why you can't abandon your obsession with me or anything like that."
"... that's a little bit, I think my ear hurts too"
When I said something extra, Ai-Fa instantly blushed and kicked me in the leg.
"Things will be different with you living with me and Joo-Run, who only faces each other enough to count? Don't let it get out of the way."
"Well, I'm proud to say that I'm the one who understands eye-fa's charm the most... well, if you understand!
Without hurting my leg muscles, I decided to evacuate to the shed too.
but only Yun-Sudra can wait there. She laughed lightly as she prepared to simmer curry ingredients in a large pot.
"... Asta, I'm so sorry"
"No, it's not at all necessary for Yun-Sudra to apologize, as Ai-Fa said. Everyone else would definitely think so."
"What do you think? Still, I think it was frivolous of me to slap Joo-Run"
That being said, Yun-Sudra took a deep sigh.
"As I've told you before, I think Asta should be tied to Ai-Fa. There is no gap between the two for me or others to interrupt. That's how I decided to throw my feelings away, and Joo-Lan offered me that... and I was so angry that I lost myself."
"Yeah. I think it's natural to be angry. I'm sure that was like treading Yun-Sudra's feelings on the ground."
I guess there is something to be sympathetic about Joo-Lan as well, but that doesn't make the disrespect of working for Yun-Sudra written-off. Whatever thoughts were caught in it, it should have been an obvious mistake to involve Yun-Sudra there.
"What the hell do the parents of Lan and Fou think?... If my sins were forgiven, would my relationship with Joo-Lan still remain the same?"
"Huh? No, I don't suppose that's exactly what they say about not being Joo-Run's partner?
"What do you think? Even if you sin, if you get paid, that's acceptable. Once again, will you be ordered to determine if you are worthy of your partner?"
"Then I guess I should just tell him that I was the person my partner didn't deserve. Whatever, it shouldn't be like forcibly giving you a wedding with someone you didn't mean to?
"I sincerely hope so.... but in my own mood, I can't jeopardize my bond with Fou or Lan..."
Yun-Sudra sighed again, staring at the contents of the pan, which had just begun to sound crisp.
I seemed to have to wait for an evening visit first to see if her distress would be cleared.
◇
During the day, it was only peaceful.
Guests are always on the same foot, and the food sells like flying. As the day passes, the vibrancy of the Inn Town is regained.
In the meantime, there was only one story worth highlighting.
Oh, my God, the Yummies are going to be invited to the Lew family harvest festival.
"Uh really!? Only that festival wouldn't be possible. I'd have given up!
When Yumi questioned in momentum, Raina-Lou was smiling and saying yes.
"At first we were talking about it that it should be another day. However, now that I'm inviting a guest named Michele to the settlement of Lou, I've settled into the story that if I just add a few people there, I won't have a problem. There seems to have been a decision that Michelles' hearts would be more at ease."
"Yay! I don't know what to say, but you have a deep nostalgia for Rayna-Lew's dad! You don't look so good, you look so stubborn, but you're so different from our father!
"Yeah, there's a really scary, really stubborn side to it."
That's what I said, and Rayna-Lew laughed at the dullness.
"So, that day is not just a harvest festival, but also a birthday feast for the eldest, Ziba-Lou. If you like, can you also prepare a round of flowers for your Guests?
"Flowers? Flowers are the ones that grow around them?
"Yes. If you don't even have poison, the kind can be anything. Because it's important to celebrate."
"Roger that! I'll tell Terrier-Mass that too!... hey, how many people can I call to that?
"Right. I don't think three or four would be a problem."
"Then it's up to Terrier-Mass and Tara! We'll all be delighted! Thank you so much!
So Yumi pulled into the Blue Sky Dining Room in a good mood.
I was listening to one of the stalls, and I said, "That sounded like a great pleasure."
"Yes, if that wasn't the birthday of the Ziva woman, then maybe Donda's father wouldn't have thought about inviting people from town either. But the Yummies were also related to the Ziva women, so I guess they changed their minds."
"Yeah. I really appreciate you inviting me and I-Fa, too"
Yet, with regard to Yumi, the story of his desire to "dowry by the woods" should also have been passed on to the people of the Luu family.
How troublesome a story that is, it should be painful in the case of Schmiral and Sphyla-Zaza. Still, Donda-Lou decided to invite a guest.
I'm sure that's the thought that if everyone behaves correctly, like Schmiral and Sphyla-Zaza, they shouldn't be in the wrong place. It seemed to me that it was a decision that I was prepared not to interact with others for fear of such things.
(Then Yumi needs to be prepared for that, too)
Yumi still doesn't know one thing about Sphyla-Zaza and Railis.
You won't know that much about Schmiral or one of the Morn-Rutims.
Before the Harvest Festival came, I thought I should tell Yumi how much it weighed. I'm going to talk to the people of the Lou family later and get some recognition.
(Still, if Yumi wants to marry me by the woods... that's a good story for me too)
With that in mind, I ended the day's business.
Thus, it is the night.
Whether it should be said as expected - just at the time of finishing dinner and getting into the time of relaxation, the doorboard of Fa's house was to be knocked again.
It was Lyelpham-Sudra and Birdu-Fow, as well as the head of Lan's main house, who showed up. They came up to the hall of Fa's house with a knife in their possession, opening best, to offer their apologies.
"All the circumstances were to be heard from both Joo-Lan and Yun-Sudra. Let me start by letting you freak out that our family has caused useless noise."
"Hmm. I don't think there's anything we can do about it."
"No. They said the women working with Asta had a different attitude, and I guess Joo-Lan visited Fa's house last night? That alone, we believe, was annoying enough"
It was Berdu-Fou who said so.
It was Sudra and Lan's family that caused the problem, but Sudra will also soon become Fou's family. I guess this is the occasion where the head of the parental family, Birdu-Fou, should divide up.
"Also, this time the noise was caused by the fact that both of them had become suspicious of Fa's person. I also wanted to let you know that we would never turn our muscle resentment against Ai-Fa and Asta."
"If you could say that, I'd appreciate it this way. We were just wondering if we should be frightened and not find out what to frighten."
"There is no need to frighten anything. There's no sin on the side of the suspicion."
That's what I said, and Lan's parents bowed their heads.
"The first thing to be frightened will be me. I hear Joo-Lan had a dowry story or something about him without saying no to me. It must have been an act out of the woodland lesson."
"Even though I said they wanted me to be a dowry, that was a long way off. When I became a better hunter than I was one day, he just wanted me to marry him. That's all I'm talking about. I don't blame him."
While remaining unbeatable majesty to the other parents, Ai-Fa replied so in a calm voice.
"However, last night was supposed to disturb my mind. It is the story that he brought to Yun-Sudra that will be a serious act in the people of the woods. What decision did the parents make in that regard?
"Totally, it's an unacceptable act. There was no way I could read the part of my mood, but I didn't imagine Joo-Run would step that far off the road. As the head of the run, I feel sincerely ashamed"
"Mm-hmm. The guy would have trampled Yun-Sudra's mood and the trust of his parents. As for me, I'm just worried that Sudra's parents aren't as outraged as I am."
"I'm not outraged. I didn't say goodbye, I was going to be stunned."
Lyelpham-Sudra, the head of Sudra, who looked like a little monkey, said so with a wrinkle on his forehead.
"Besides, no matter how disrespectful I told you, my family Yun slapped Joo-Run. It's also a disobedience to the Forestside lesson, so there's no other way to feel like it's a pain split."
"I appreciate the warmth of Sudra's parents"
And, Lan's parents bowed their heads again.
"Naturally," says Lyelpham-Sudra, shrugging her shoulders.
"It has already been decided that the women of Fou will be dowry with Sudra. We won't wait that long anymore, and we will tie the edge of blood. Then we should close our eyes and deepen our bonds."
"... so what happens to Yun-Sudra and Joo-Run?
When I snapped my mouth, Birdu-Fow said, "Hmm?," he tilted his neck.
"Sticky, I can't help it. It's true that both names have disobeyed the Forest Side lesson, but you won't need to punish yourself enough to hit yourself. Not if we repeat the same mistakes in the future."
"So, after all, can we go on talking about dowry again?
"It doesn't," Birdu-Fow said clearly.
"Neither name wanted that. Joo-Lan and Yun-Sudra couldn't think that you were the right person for your partner. We take this one case that way"
"Really?"
I was finally able to breathe relief.
The pageant is over and no punishment will be imposed on both names. Now it seemed like the problem had been cleared up.
"Besides, it has already been decided that the women of Fou will be dowry, and talk is underway about dowry from Run to Sudra and from Sudra to Fou. This would not even require Yun-Sudra to be dowry as soon as possible. … and then I want to wait for the outcome of the Conference of Parents"
"Parents' conference? What kind of story is that?
"One example, Rutim and Dom. Would it be possible to decide at the next parental meeting whether or not to allow a blood connection that has nothing to do with your parental muscles or family? I thought we shouldn't be forced to talk about the wedding until we get the results."
"If that becomes permissible, we will also be able to keep Fou as our parent muscle and connect the blood edge with the rest of the family. That might give us stronger power than ever before."
"So you guys are taking Gazran-Rutim's suggestion positively?
The answer was yes.
"We intend to continue to celebrate the Harvest Festival with Din and Lid. Sometimes a new love will grow there."
"Besides, now I can use my luggage car to interact with the rest of my family. Before this, we were to invite the hunters of the Lew family home."
"In addition, not only the chieftaincy muscles, but also the gaz and rats, etc. interact more with each other. Even Bayme and Ravitz would be able to deepen their fringe more than ever if they became in agreement with Fa's deeds"
After stating so, Birdu-Fow looked back at Lyelpham-Sudra.
"In the meantime, if the three scheduled weddings materialize, only Yun-Sudra will have an unmarried person left in Sudra anymore. Then, even more so, we should wait for the Conference of Parents. I think we should leave room for Sudra to bond with the rest of the family."
"Mm-hmm. I'll tell you now, but Yun seemed hoping to take the time to pick a mate. If we get some more freedom, we'll be happy."
"Oh, there's a lot of men around the woods, so we can all go around with the ideal opponent."
Birdu-Fow, who had always had a solemn face, loosened his cheeks there all the time.
"Well, when the person I've been thinking about becomes Asta, I'm not sure what kind of man to look for right now."
"Uhm. That would be the same thing as Joo-Run. No matter how many women there are, you won't see people who look like Ey-Fa."
"... I hope you don't make fun of us too much, parents"
When Ai-Fa looked sinister, Birdu-Faw laughed at how serene it felt.
"We are friends, so we are allowed to speak so lightly. Besides, isn't it a rare fact that there are hardly any humans like Ai-Fa or Asta?
"Exactly," Lan's parents hammer, too.
"Whatever you do, you are a woman of exceptional power as a hunter and a man of exceptional power as a kamadu number. There can't be anybody like that."
"Still, Yun cut off his feelings for Asta. Now even if the story of your wedding with Joo-Run disappears, it won't bother Fa's house"
and lyelfam-sudra stares at me and i-fa with her little eyes.
"I'd like to ask Ai-Fa, Asta, as a friend of Fa's house, if I dare... aren't you two going to give her a wedding in the future?
"No.... how can you ask such a thing?
"Of course that's because I think people who think about Ai-Fa and Asta will never stop coming back."
As he stroked his flat mandible, Lyelpham-Sudra said so.
"The fact that Ai-Fa, the hunter, cannot welcome his companion is the only thing. But also Asta, aren't you still going to welcome the extra ladies to your daughter-in-law?
"Yes. I'm sorry, I'm going to."
"Hmm. After all, haven't you changed your mind"
Only Lyelpham-Sudra and I once told each other such stories. That was also what Yun-Sudra had in mind for me.
"If that's the decision of Ai-Fa and Asta, then you can't talk to us without blood... but it's a shame that the bloodstream of Fa's house, which has paved the way for us, will soon fade away"
"There is only one. That's our chosen path."
Ai-Fa had answered that in a quiet voice.
Lan's parents, "Hmm."
"Speaking of which, I had to ask one thing too. Joo-Lang insists on asking who I think I am. What was that all about?
While maintaining his solemn expression as a parent, Ai-Fa slightly reddened the edge of his eyes.
"... I don't think I have the muscle to answer such a question?
"There is no need for Ai-Fa to answer. I'm asking if we can answer that."
Now it is time for Ey-Fa to blush clearly.
"La, isn't it true that you know the answer correctly with Lan's parents?
"Yeah, but as far as I can tell, there's only one person like that."
…………
"Me too. Now I'm letting you get closer to the Eye Fa et al than Joo-Run. Besides, he wouldn't have even tried to visit Fa's house when Asta was offended by the disease? If you watch what happened to Fa's house back then, even people who didn't know anything about it would have an idea."
Ai-Fa shrugged her head in disgrace.
And with that hand on his head, he manages to hide his reddened face.
Birdu-Fow and Lyelpham-Sudra, with a bit of a decent face, watched the interactions between the Ai-Fas.
"Did Joo-Run not even know such a thing while he was concerned about Ai-Fa? You should tell me all about it."
"Mm-hmm. Instead, I wouldn't hide it if I wanted to."
If you even mentioned it that way to Birdu-Fow or Lyelpham-Sudra, Ai-Fa said in a disturbed manner, "Wait a minute!" He shouted out loud.
"Wow, I don't remember telling anyone such a story! Why are you all talking in your mouth as if you were spotting my mood!?
"I don't care why you say it... don't most humans realize it?
"Uh-huh. That's about what even we realize."
"I don't realize that Joo-Run is a better liar."
I was as comfortable as I was being publicly executed together when I was lined up next to Ai-Fa.
It gets hot from the top of my neck and even comes out a little sweaty.
"We've seen how considerate Ai-Fa and Asta are of you many times. Not only during the other day's illness, but also during the parents' meeting at the Sung family and when Asta was exposed to noble daughters and... and from her usual deeds. If I'm being very honest with you, it's enough to make me wonder that I haven't given you a wedding yet."
"Wow, okay! Okay, so I want you to finish this story already!
"You don't need to disturb your mind like that. Besides... I don't even think this is gonna keep Fa's house bleeding."
It was Berdu-Fou who said so.
I'm staring at Ai-Fa and me with a very soft eye.
"Ai-Fa, I hear you turned eighteen last month."
"Mm-hmm. That's what it is?
"Even after the next ten years, you're still 28. Even at that age you will be able to have children... and if you work as a hunter for ten years, your feelings may be fulfilled. That way I can give you a wedding without putting on anyone."
"Hey, what a fool -!"
"A man's heart is something to move about. It may be filled in five years, not ten. It may be filled in a year. If you don't try to be then, such as how you feel then, no one will know. Everything will be as the forest thinks it is, Ai-Fa."
"Mm-hmm. I'm a better hunter than anyone. After five years, I wonder if I could even hunt for a normal hunter's lifetime giva"
"Whatever path Ai-Fa may follow, we are friends of Fa's house. You just go down the path you believe in."
Ai-Fa held his head in with one arm and said, "Enough!," he gave a gibberish voice.
"Wow, sorry, but I'm getting a headache! If you're done talking about Yun-Sudra and Joo-Run, hope to go home!
"Mm-hmm. I'm sorry you didn't make it to this late at night. I've already told all my family about the two stories, so the women should look the same tomorrow."
Leaving behind such words, the three parents went home to their respective homes.
I'll hang the front door because Ai-Fa won't move. Looking back into the hall, Ai-Fa had already laid on the floor.
"Shh, that's a great early start. I didn't feel any sign at all."
…………
"... if you don't loosen your hair, isn't it cramped?
"Weird!"
Leaving her back to me, Ai-Fa raised her voice.
Well, I guess I got an unexpected wave attack and it made me feel better. Even for me, I didn't expect the Birdu-Faws to talk about stepping in that far.
(But I'm sure that's a sign that everyone cares about Fa's house)
With that in mind, I decided to get ready for bed quickly, too.
Lay the cloth, blow out the candlestick fire, wait for your eyes to darken, then lie down. The sky seemed clear this night, too, and the light of the blue and white moon plunged in through the window.
"Good night, Ai-Fa"
Whisper, I'll call it that.
Then I felt Ai-Fa whisper something blurry.
"Yeah? Sorry, I couldn't hear you."
"... because I don't know how I feel in five or ten years?
I smiled unexpectedly, staring at Ai-Fa's smooth back.
"Everything is as the forest thinks, right? I'd be happy if I stayed with Ai-Fa."
Ai-Fa was bored to protest something.
I decided to say "good night" one more time as I relaxed my well-being.
◇
It's called, we'll talk later.
The next morning, Yun-Sudra, who visited Fa's house again earlier than anyone else, had a smile on his face that had changed since he hit it yesterday and just didn't shine.
"Good morning, Asta! My parents took care of me last night!
"Ugh, yeah, good morning. Looks like you're feeling totally better, Yun-Sudra."
"Yes! I feel free from all my misery! Somehow, the world is so radiant!
Even Yun-Sudra, who had a very flamboyant temper, showed up so far floating was a rarity. As much, I guess the events of the past few days have been a heavy load for her.
"Did you hear from the parents? Instead of being stuck with my dowry, I was told to take the time to choose who I wanted!
"Yeah, I'm listening. But that depends on the outcome of the parents' meeting, right?
"Yes! I shall pray to the woods every day so that the offer of the Rutim family may be acknowledged by all my families!
You didn't want to give me that much of a wedding, and I was supposed to be surprised not to say goodbye.
Yun-Sudra then dyes her cheeks with a laugh as she soldered.
'Cause I was thinking about Asta, wasn't I? Isn't it hard to decide to find a more attractive man than Asta? Like the Lew family, I'd like to get some time until I'm about twenty. "
"Oh well. But Yun-Sudra was only fifteen, right?
"In five years, can we even look around at the men of all families"
and now tongues out like a prank kid.
Not in the last few days, but freed from the depression of the last few months, Yun-Sudra looked floating.
"As a matter of fact, I was envious of Rayna-Lew. I couldn't even see Rayna-Lew trying to brush her arms without talking about the wedding."
"Right. I don't know how that feels... but I'm sure my family will be worried."
"Still, one day, I'll marry my partner. For I also desire to wed my beloved man and hold my son in this arm.... well, that can happen even after a few years!
Yun-Sudra smiled at me as she narrowed her eyes to see even the eyelids.
"One day I will definitely try to find someone who seems more loving than Asta. So as a friend, please stay the same, Asta."
"Yeah, thanks. Nice to meet you."
Truly, Yun-Sudra is a straight and strong man.
It would have been too bad to compare that to Joo-Run. I didn't tell anybody because I didn't like the woodland lesson - but I felt terrible about Joo-Run.
Joo-Run, suspicious of his unreachable opponent, was to play a failure that disturbed his mind and had no clapping. By the woods, it was supposed to be a sin on one Joo-Lan, but my thoughts were slightly different. At least it makes me wonder if a lot of people screwed up like Joo-Run in my birthplace.
The one thing that doesn't go as well as I'd like is the one called Sex Sharpening. Sometimes, with a burning passion in his chest, he would run wild. Sometimes they break manners and morals. Human beings are not so clean and white.
But in this woodland area, courtesy is weighed down to the point of hardship. The responsibility for the sake of the family, for the sake of the family, for the sake of our compatriots, is also great. In that, it seemed more amazing to me to be a Yun-Sudra-like being who was trying to live strong and clean without stepping off the road.
No, not only Yun-Sudra, but also Sphyla-Zaza and Morn-Rutim. Especially the figure of Sphilla-Zaza, who cut off his own thoughts for his countrymen, was burned hard in my chest.
And I was also able to get people by the woods to recognize me as a compatriot.
I guess I should live strong and right, too, like them.
We need to find the right path so that we can overlap our own well-being with that of our fellow countrymen.
But still - after all, it didn't change what was in my roots.
That was the thought that my happiness was only in the place of I-Fa.
(If one year later, five years later, ten years later - and one day I think I've done my job as a hunter, and I can give you a wedding with the person you love - does that mean that you could have lived a happy life, both as a hunter and as a lady?)
Until I met Ai-Fa, she lived alone, hunting by herself for two years, cooking meals by herself and doing all the work by herself. That would mean that I was doing the work of a man and a woman on my own - if I were such an ai-fa, would I be entitled to my happiness as a hunter and my happiness as a woman together?
(Well, all I can do is -)
Supporting Ai-Fa as a hunter as a family, and - being the right person for Ai-Fa's companion.
It was such a painful thought that I renewed it in all the different events that have taken place over the past six months.
