Isekai Ryouridou

When the start of the feast was announced from the mouth of Dari-Sauti, the earthen bottle of fruit liquor, which had been carefully prepared, was to be turned from hand to hand.

And with some fierce momentum, there are people pushing towards me and I-Fa.

"It's finally a banquet! Did you already talk to Asta and the others? If you like, give us a seat!

It was Dan-Rutim who was at the head of it.

Rau-Ray, Gillan-Lilyn, Gazran-Rutim, Schmiral, and other blood families are also laughing at the earthen bottle in their hands. Birdu-Fow and Lyelpham-Sudra, with their fruit liquor in their hands, were to stand up.

"Well, let's try to connect us with the other parents. Asta to Ai-Fa, again later."

"Ah, yes. See you soon."

When Fou's blood family disappeared, the Dan-Lutims surrounded me and I-Fa like they were fighting ahead. To the momentum, Ai-Fa is also rounding his eyes.

"What the hell is all this fuss? Even Luu's blood would have just had a feast the other day?

"What are you talking about! It's been almost ten days since then!

"That's right. Besides, I had to get closer to the people in town that day. I haven't talked to you enough."

"I should only be saying hello. Today is the day to let us speak loosely."

"Well," Ai-Fa smiled just under her eyes.

"Of course, we weren't messing around with Lou's blood either. Today's meeting is safe because of the dedication of Lew's blood family."

"What are you saying about the smell of water! Come on, let's sip some booze!

Dan-Lutim pokes a new earthen bottle at Ai-Fa.

I laughed at Gazran-Rutim.

"Good job, Gazran-Rutim. We came to this day because Gazran-Rutim was the first to help us."

"Not at all. I, for example, had only a gentle hand on its back."

Watching Gazran-Rutim smile, I was about to spill tears again in jeopardy.

But if I make a coarse phase here, I'll make you worry about Ai-Fa again, so I'll give it a try.

"Asta. Accommodation town business, recognized, above all"

"Thank you, Schmiral. Schmiral also seemed to be able to continue his work in the Chamber of Commerce, above all else."

"Yes, but before I do, Mr. Lilyn, I want to encourage you, as you are given,"

Schmiral also smiled kindly at me.

Even then, the parents of Luu's blood and the men of his offerings will throw their words from next to next. It was thought that the ones not gathered on this occasion might be about Donda-Lou and Dalm-Lou.

"What, that's a hell of a fuss. I'd like us to say hello, too."

Along with such a voice, there was a person who would interrupt in the gutter.

If you think of it as someone, it is Rad-Lid. Dan-Rutim, who looked back like he was in pain, said, "Oh!," he grinned.

"If you think of someone, you're Lid's parent! You won the title of brave man at the harvest festival you went to with Fa's house!

"Mm-hmm. Not a single thing, other than carrying loads, could have gotten to EY-FA!

A loud laugh, staggering. Dan-Rutim and Rad-Lid, who thought there were similarities, finally put their faces in front of me.

(These two must have stuck together as hostile clans until last year)

Seeing the two laughing luxuriously was utterly incredible, too.

And Din's parents peek into his face as he pushes both names with one big body in the way.

"At last, O Asta, Zaza's house is also to admit that Fa's house did the right thing. I'd like Din and Lid's ladies to help me with my job in the future, but will you accept that?

"Yeah, of course. Thanks to Din and Lid for everything."

"... but until now, only a very limited number of women have kept them so that they don't have more hands than they need to. Is it something that even more women can take care of?

"Yes, let's coordinate with the folks around it. I'm busy in the meat-selling business, and it would be very helpful if you could help Din and Lid with their work."

"Well," he nodded, Din's parents looking even more.

"So, Asta... it's not that I'm here, but I'd like to apologize to you."

"Yes? Is that an apology?

"Hmm. I once complained about something called Toole's sweet treat. If Asta hadn't taken it, Toole might have given up training for the job as well. … you should say a word of apology about that"

"Yeah? That's because... that was a long time ago, wasn't it?

"But I didn't say thank you or apologize to Asta. I missed the time while I was watching."

That's what Din's parents said, with a refreshing wrinkle between his eyebrows.

"I still don't like the sweet treat that much...... I'm sure it's irreplaceable that so many people admire Toole. I am deeply grateful for the way you have guided my family."

"Not at all. I was just... soft-handed on Thur-din's back."

Sneaking up on Gazran-Rutim, I let him answer like that.

Looks like Gazran-Rutim was whispering to Schmiral, but he also heard my words. He had his eyes on this one, and he was grinning at me.

"Words of apology and gratitude are unnecessary to me. Please point that towards Tour-Din."

"... I think we should."

When Din's parents answered that way, the women who had finished cleaning up came back to the sacrificial hall.

About half of them are getting closer to us. The majority of them still seemed to be Luu's blood family.

"Oh, we're finally back! You should moisten your throat with fruit wine, too, Yamir."

Yamil Ray breathed deeply as Rau-Ray called out from this ring.

"You seem to be perfectly ready already. I'm gonna get really tired of this."

"Hum, it's like a feast noise, sir! If you're done with your job, I just want you to give me a break sa"

Instead of Yamir-Ray, there was also the appearance of Zwei-Rutim. She was also invited as a member of Kamadoku.

"What are you talking about! You guys should show everyone that you're living right as folks by the woods? You should deepen your bonds with the rest of your family!

When Dan-Rutim laughed gahaha, so did Lad-Lid's laughter overlap there.

"No, I can see you guys are alive and sound just by watching that grump! Doesn't it look like someone else?

Lid was once Sung's family, too, so of course you knew about the Yamil-Rays. Yamil-Ray and Zwei-Rutim were each looking back at Rad-Lid's smile with a seemingly complicated look.

"At the previous Conference of Parents, you gave instructions to your younger brothers, trying to harm Asta and Ai-Fa? You were supposed to be on the spot with me, but you don't think it's so true!

When Rad-Lid said that in an unbeatable expanse to Dan-Rutim, Yamil-Ray turned to me and said, "Yeah......"

"Right. It's been exactly a year since then. It feels like it's been about ten years."

"It's true," I made him laugh.

All over the blood of Gibba, I pressed the Sung family to join my son-in-law, Yamil-Sung - overlapping the evil smile of that time, the viper, and the expression I now took, was unlikely to do so.

Zwei-Rutim doesn't seem to have changed that much. But I guess that's just that the changes aren't on the table. By being cut off from his brothers and losing his grandfathers, Tay-Sung and Zazz-sung, Zwei-Rutim should also have changed dramatically.

(Digga or Dodd, I wonder what's going on. I'll have to ask Rem-Dom later)

When I thought about it that way, a new group approached us.

He is a man of five families, with Gaz and Ratz as their parent muscles. Gaz's parents were looking around at the people around him, whispering their eyebrows.

"Hey, I want us to say hello to Fa's house too. Could you spare a seat for me for a moment?

He said, "What? We just got together."

"But does Luu's blood family have a deeper relationship with Fa's house from time to time? We can hardly exchange words without this kind of opportunity."

"That's the same thing we do. I'm guessing you guys are closer to Fa's house than we are?

"Even if the house is nearby, only the women are coming and going. Are you guys having a banquet or something?

"Still, we haven't talked to the Astas enough. We're the ones who got in line first, so wait for the order."

"... is that an order as a chiefly muscle?

and the parents of Rats made the voice look disturbing.

He is as young a parent as Gazran-Rutim, but he has a harsh temper. When the young people of Gaz and Ratz were about to wake up wishing to be dowry to Ai-Fa, it was also this person who dropped the kaminari and praised it.

"It doesn't matter what the chief muscle is. Mostly because we're just family members of Lou. Just keep pulling back."

And Lauray-Ray, who is liquor spinning in good shape, is also feeling a little rough. This one is even more intuitive than Ratz's parents.

When an invisible spark starts scattering between those two young parents, Dan-Rutim says roughly, "Okay!" He raised his voice.

"Then why don't we just play the game and decide! That way, most of us won't be dissatisfied?

"A battle? You want me to compare my powers to this drunkenness?

"Hmm. Is there any alcohol in it? I don't care."

That's how Lough Ray tried to get up, and Dan Rutim held that shoulder down with his glove-like hands.

"The power comparison is the power comparison, but nothing is a rough story! Hey, Dalm-Lou, can you reveal the example?

Dalm-Lou, who was squeezing a drink with his father just off the wheel, looks back at him.

"What. Didn't you talk to the fa guys for a while?

"That's why we need him! Tell Rau-Ray and Rats' parents how to play with him!

Darum-Lou shrugged his shoulder to the point where he didn't care and then pulled in towards the wall.

What a board of on-board play it was in the hands of Darum-Lou who came back from there.

"Oh, I see. Is that what you mean?"

"Uhm! We were thinking of learning it on this occasion because we were talking about some delightful play being brought to Lew's house!

It was yesterday that the Lou family was brought information about on-board play. They just made a board and a pawn out of Barsha's handiwork.

When Darum-Lou placed the plate on the rug and smashed the leather bag pawn on the board, Lau-Ray and Rats' parents stared at it with their eyes round.

"What is this? How are we supposed to fight with something like this?

"I don't know either! Dalm-Lou, show me how to compete!

When Darum-Lou started explaining the rules of match play, the people around him seemed to listen to it with interest.

And it seems that Birdu-Fow, who heard this noise, peeks at Dan-Rutim's shoulder.

"Oh, did you bring that from the Lew family, too? Let's get our share ready."

"Huh? Did the Birdu-Faws also bring boards and pawns?

"Oh. I'm sure a lot of men would love that."

The boards and pawns are made one pair at a time by Fa's nearest family. When the folks of Fou, Run, Sudra, Din and Lid brought up a new board, a circle of people could also be created there.

"If this is the case, we should have had a board and a pawn, too, right?

When I call it that way, I say, "Hmm?" The obscure voice returned.

When I look back in a hurry, Ai-Fa looks back at me with a sitting eye. No heart, those cheeks seemed slightly red stained.

"Duh, what's going on? Too much fruit liquor?

"I don't drink as much as I drink too much. … but lately I haven't had a chance to mouth fruit liquor, so I seem to be turning around quickly"

Then Dan-Rutim, eager to hear the explanation, turned his smile to this one.

"Has Ai-Fa gotten drunk around yet? Then I'll be resting for a while! I'll keep track of who's going to sit with Fa's humans on this board!

In order and nothing, the people on the spot were obsessed with playing on the boards. This would be the end of the line.

But it must have been just the right breaking time for EY-FA to get drunk. I decided to give Ai-Fa a a hand and sneak me up to the wall to evacuate.

"Are you okay, Ai-Fa? You want me to get you some water?

"Don't guide me. Rest for a while, and let your drunkenness subside."

Ai-Fa had replied that way, but his eyes have become dull. It was thought that Ai-Fa would be so intoxicating since he mouthed the Mammalian distilled liquor he had received from Balan's men.

"Oh, my God, Ai-Fa is vulnerable to booze. I don't know what a liquor called fruit liquor looks like, but it doesn't look like Tia would lose a drink comparison."

While the parents were making a scene, Tia, who had been quiet for a long time, said so with a laugh of fun.

Ey-Fa, who was also sitting against the wall, looks back at you with a disgruntled face.

"It has nothing to do with the power of the hunter, such as whether he is resistant to alcohol or not. Are you competing for booze strength or something?

"Mm-hmm. Tia's mother, Hamra, was the biggest drinker in the family. Even though those who tried to compare their drinks were drunk, they kept drinking alone."

That said, Tia narrowed her eyes a lot.

"It's been sixteen days since Tia left Mount Morga. I'm sure my countrymen will think Tia returned her soul. Tia eagerly awaits the day she can return to her compatriots"

"Hmm... Whatever you mourn, there's nothing you can do if you can't get your strength back into it? Then we should strive to heal the wounds without thinking about anything extra. Worry in vain, you don't need to break your heart"

"Um, I know. Even if I'm drunk, I'm sweet."

Ai-Fa looked daunted, imitating kicking Tia.

There, some shadows sneak in.

"Oh, I'm sorry about the rest of the day. Would you mind if I just gave you a moment...?

"Hey Tour-din. Good day. Absolutely not."

"Oh, really? I was wondering if I had to try that battle to exchange words with the Astas."

Tour-Din broke his knee in front of us, breathing relieved. Instead, Sufila-Zaza and Sung's parents.

"That one seems obsessed with on-board play already, so it's okay. Good luck to both Sphyla-Zaza and Sung's parents"

Sufila-Zaza nodded silently, Sung's parents having embarked on their knees with a contemplative facade.

"To Fa's Parent Ai-Fa, family Asta. Good luck today. And thank you. On behalf of Sung's blood, I would like to say a word of thanks."

Sung's parents, who had a normal tone at the time of the Conference of Parents, had a very polite tone.

While I was amazed by that tone change and the content of the words, I asked, "Is that a thank you? ♪ And I'll make you question me. ♪ Ai-Fa also had a very damning face.

"For once, I don't think there's anything like us being thanked..."

"No. We also believe that Sung's house was back on the right path when it was Fa's house in the first place"

That being said, Sung's parents have dripped their heads deeply.

"Of course, it was the three chiefs and all the parents who put Sung's house back on the right path. But it should still have been Fa's house that inspired me to do so. If you were so strong and righteous, you wouldn't have been able to reveal the Sung family sins."

"No, never."

"And not only the people who stayed in Sung's settlement, but also their former families who left the Sung family, seem to be able to take the right path. There, too, is the power of Fa's house."

Sung's parents look back at his crotch Thur-din.

Tour-Din was staring back at it with a softly tearful eye.

"Tour-Din and his father, Zei-Din, were an irreplaceable blood family to themselves. Now he is cut off from the blood...... I hear that Tour-Din as Kamadu number, Zei-Din as a hunter, was to gain irresistible strength in each. I am very proud of it."

"It's the power of Tour-Din and Zei-Din. That's all they were originally equipped with."

"No. I and others were only following Asta's guidance. Even Father Zee doesn't know what would have happened if he hadn't been supported by a delicious meal."

Tears spilled out of Tul-din's eyes, which he describes as such, as if they could not be revealed.

"As much as Din's house welcomed us as a family, we are also grateful to Fa's house. How could we not have had the house of Pha..."

"I'm sure that's about you. My business was so helpful to Tour-Din."

I let Tour-Din laugh as I was filled with feelings.

"That's how we supported each other, and we were able to get this far. I am truly grateful."

Thur-din sneezed his face, spilling a whimper, and grabbed it on my chest.

Grabbing my chest with my little hand, shaking my shoulders, crying. Looking down at that figure, Sphilla-Zaza was breathing small.

"I guess I was able to play the big part safely and I ran out of feelings I was stuck with. It's forbidden for men and women to touch each other, but I hope you'll forgive me for a while."

"Yes, of course," I said, turning sideways to Ai-Fa.

I = fa have the same steady eye, watching over us.

"There's no difference, but it's not gonna spill tears until you do, Asta."

"Yeah, I know"

I also managed to control my tear glands in this setting.

Just let me stroke Tour-Din's soft hair with all my heart.

(Even for Tour-Din, it must have been a day of separation. Tour-din could have been reborn last year today.)

Even I got to cry twice in the day. If he was only eleven years old, Tour-Din, it seemed natural to be shaking his emotions more than that.

(I partitioned the other women with such a small body and let them play a brilliant big role. Tour-din is really amazing)

I let him talk like that in my heart so that I wouldn't disturb Tour-din's mind any more.

Thur-din is shrugging weakly as he grabs it in my chest. For a few minutes before Tul-din woke herself up, I kept stroking her hair.

"... hey, I'm so sorry you made me look sorry"

Eventually Thur-din let himself go, stating so.

Sufila-Zaza gave me a hand plush, so I'm embarrassed to cover my face with it.

"There's no pity at all. You worked really hard today, Tool-din."

Then there, a new figure approached.

Looking back to think of someone, Din's parents, who were watching the Rau-Rays battle, are looking down at us with no more frowning.

"Why is Toole spilling tears? I don't suppose anybody worked to imitate Toole like no other?

"Yes, no, you don't! I just messed up my mind on my own..."

Tour-Din looked up at his parents with a desperate look as he hid his half face with a hand tug.

Din's parents keep the same look, "Hmm," he snorts.

"Isn't he sheltering someone?... Fair enough. I need to talk to you. Come here for a second."

"Yes. Now if you'll excuse me, Asta."

"Yeah. I'll see you later"

Perhaps Din's parents are also going to state their apologies to Tour-Din on this occasion. If so, I'm sure he'll know what Tool-din's tears mean, too.

Sphilla-Zaza and Sung's parents also raised their hips together, so only three of us will be left on the spot again. Rau-Ray and Rats' parents looked like they were still working on playing on the board while being watched by a large group of blood clans.

A board and pawn brought out by Birdu-Fow and others, with similar rings elsewhere. I looked around and then I looked back at Ai-Fa.

"After all, playing matches seems to fit the mood of the hunters by the woods. If the drunkenness cools down too, why don't you try?

"Hmm. If you feel like it."

While stating so, Ai-Fa has suddenly let her lips hang together.

"... it's a big contraindication for men and women to get in touch more than that, Asta."

"Huh? Ugh, yeah. Didn't you get forgiveness for that?

"If I hadn't forgiven you, I would have slapped you on the spot"

Ey-fa sneaks up on me, sniffing around.

"I know there's no such thing as an evil feeling between you and Tour-Din. I am also very pleased that you and Tour-Din are bonding correctly"

"Oh well. Good for you, then."

"But that and this are different stories. Hot as the bottom of my belly is, how am I supposed to endure this pain?

The drunken Eye-Fa face approached me to the front of my eyes.

After all, the surface is more red than usual and slightly lukewarm to the eye. With a face full of dissatisfaction, Ai-Fa was very colorful.

"Asta, can you heal this suffering?

"Yeah? Well, how can I heal that?

"It's your job to think about it."

I made a decision in an instant, and no, I just let him put his hand on Ai-Fa's head all the time.

As he strokes his golden brown hair, his lips, which had been caught to the extreme, return just a little bit.

"... wouldn't you be able to do it"

"Oh, thank you, I'm afraid."

When I let go and put my hands down, my lips were caught.

"... I should have been in touch with Tour-Din for a longer time"

"Ugh, yeah. But there are other people's eyes. Wouldn't it be a little awkward if people saw me like this?

Ai-Fa's hand grabbed my shoulders and pressed them against the wall.

When he shrugs his neck to see if he gets slapped, Ai-Fa pulls himself back and brings himself to the wall. That's how you put your head on my shoulder.

"Now let's give him a break. Don't move until I'm clear, okay?

"Yes, I understand."

Ey-fa's cheeks are touching my shoulders, Ey-fa's hair is touching my cheeks, each. That was enough to rattle my heart.

Tia was "Hmm" tilting her little neck as she sat in front of us like that.

"Kind of like I = fa being a toddler. I find it very cute."

"Weird," he responded, while Ai-Fa did not try to move.

I look inside the sacrificial hall again with only my eyes, as I am refreshed by its weight and warmth.

Dan-Rutim was looking away from Rau-Ray against Chim-Sudra.

Yamil-Ray stayed under Rau-Ray, but he talks to another bunch of men, not looking at the board. Those must have been Havilla and Dana's parents. They, too, were formerly of the Sung family.

Birdu-Fow is up against Gillan-Lillin, whose rings are joined by Schmiral and Vina-Lou. It may have been Schmiral moving his mouth tightly explaining the rules of match play to those around him.

Donda-Lou joins any circle and speaks across the street with Dick-Dom. Beside it is Gazran-Rutim and Morn-Rutim, plus the figure of Graf-Zaza, so I guess we are talking about the future interaction between Dom and Rutim. For some reason, it was so cute that Limi-Luu was teasing from behind to Donda-Lu's neck.

Dali-Souti and Moga-Souti have a fun peek into Rad-Rid and someone else's game. Somehow, it never occurred to me that both names of Sauti would show quite a bit of strength in matchmaking play.

Raina-Lou and Sheila-Lou were surrounded by the bloodline women of Zaza. Maybe they're asking about recipes for today's dishes, etc.

It is the parents of Tour-Din and Din who speak of anything near it. In addition to Sphilla-Zaza, the Ladies of Lem-Dom and Lid are joined to make something a little noisy. Din's parents seem a lot grater, so I guess I might have made Tool-Din cry.

Anyway, everyone enjoys a banquet.

Like last year, there is no appearance of strange tension or anything like that being created among the clans. For no reason did any clan feel like they were deeply bonding with their weak counterparts.

"... this time last year, you were talking about Dari-Sautti and Birdu-Foo."

When I said it, I - Fa moved his head slightly like "um" or something.

"There were a lot of other people gathered to ask questions about a delicious meal. Still, there was nothing like a fight over order."

"… that only deepened ties with other clans,"

Ai-Fa's voice seemed a lot sleepy.

It just sounds so calm and tender.

"In the years before that, I was alone in joining the Conference of Parents. Furthermore, in the years preceding that, he had joined with his father, Gil.... At those Parents' Conferences, there was no such thing as a voice to the fa person. At best, the Sung family's people have been wicked."

"Oh, by then, I thought I had a bad relationship with Digga."

"Uhm. Back then, I couldn't even mouth fruit liquor in a detour. Not only did the Sung family feel weak."

Ey-Fa's body is deposited on his shoulder with so much weight.

"It is thanks to being able to welcome a family called you that I have been able to put myself in such a happy state. As many times as I want to say thank you to Mother Forest"

"Yeah. I feel the same way."

"... I am happy to meet Asta. And I am sincerely proud that Asta was found to be doing the right thing..."

Ai-fa's hand is laying on my hand.

Grabbing that warm fingertip back, I try to nod, "Yeah."

At that time, a little shadow came running over.

"I'm finally done talking to you!... That, did I-Fa fall asleep?

"Hey Rimi-Lou. If it's Ai-Fa, wake up properly -"

That's what I'm supposed to say, and I'm supposed to hold my mouth. Behind Rimi-Lou stood even his father's giant.

"Hmm. It's a lot less interesting to fall asleep so early"

"Oh, no, I-Fa was just resting a bit because the alcohol had turned around. Hey, Ai-Fa?

That's what I called it, but I didn't hear back. All I have returned instead is a very restful sleep.

"... I'm sorry. I was up until just now, but apparently I fell asleep."

"Hmm. Stick around, I don't have the muscle to be apologized for"

While stating it that way, Donda-Lou gave in and peered into our faces. It's a long time, but it's hard to relate from so close.

"Hey, thank you for your time today. We owe it to Donda-Lou, who helped us to do what we did right."

"Hmm... was it Gazran-Rutim, not me, who rode your truck?

"Yes, but it was Donda-Lou who made the final decision, so I can't help but be grateful"

"... you bet your right arm to show your correctness. So you don't have to thank me or anything."

Speaking in a low voice, Donda-Lou has kept his face so close.

He is a braver and tougher face than anyone else, as if the lion had turned into a human. However, the expression felt very quiet.

"... this, fang and horn necklace -"

And Donda-Lou's rugged fingertips touched my neckline.

"- I heard that this leaves intact what was given to me by the family of the Lou family, is that true?

"Ah, yes. This is an important memory for me."

It is a necklace that was also given fangs by Darum-Lou during the wedding feast and became eleven. It was a memorable gift from everyone except Giza-Lou and Kota-Lou in the main house of Lou.

Donda-Lou breathes, "It's a drunken one".

"... it's been over a year since you were first invited to Lew's house."

"Yes, I guess it will be about a year and a month"

"... back then you were a truly abominable lad. You and your sleeping parents."

Donda-Lou's eyes like blue fire compare me to Ai-Fa's face.

And - something unexpected happened.

Donda-Lou was so relieved.

It was not that invincible way of laughing, but a very quiet, very serene smile, when it preceded the enemy in distress.

While I'm losing my word, Donda-Lou wakes herself up.

"Until today, thank you for your hard work. And from tomorrow onwards, encourage as always. As a people by the woods, do your best for your fellow citizens by the woods."

"Yes. Thank you, Donda-Lou. I'll be sure to tell Ey-Fa too."

Donda-Lou nodded one thing and walked away from us.

Instead, Rimi-Lou jumps a little.

"It seems like Dad Donda has always been worried about what will happen to the meeting! I'm glad you allowed me to do business in town!

"Yeah. Thanks to everyone for helping me so far. Thank you, too, Limi-Lu."

"Yeah!" he nodded cheerfully, then Rimi-Lou stroked Ai-Fa's head about time.

"Ai-fa, too, must have been relieved. I'm falling asleep feeling good."

"I'm sorry. I was up until just now."

"Fine, fine! When you wake up, I'II have a lot of chatting to do!

Rimi-Lou's figure disappeared from sight. Perhaps you leaned against Ai-Fa from the opposite side of me.

Tia, who was vacating the place for Donda-Lou, grinned and smiled with a lovely face as she slipped back to our front.

"You won't see from Asta, so Tia will teach you. I 'm-Fa's got a very happy sleeping face."

"Oh well. Thanks."

I smile back at Tia, while gently bringing cheeks to the head of the sweet-scented Ey-Fa.

Depending on the outcome of the on-board play, is it Luu's blood or Ratz's blood that pushes you over here? Until the results came out, I was going to let them bite off the happiness of being able to come together with Ai-Fa in this way.
