Twenty-third Day of the Blue Moon ③ - A Little Difference

Having successfully completed the stall business, we returned to the woodland settlement.

Today was the day to hold a study group at Lew's house, so I'll meet you there. The two houses under reconstruction seemed to have just begun on roofs and walls, with foundations and structures in place.

"Sounds like a lot more work is going on than I saw this morning. Wouldn't this take less than half a month to complete?

"What do you think? I have no idea. But I'm sure if it was a period of rest, you'd have already finished your job."

The hunters were out hunting for Giva, so only Lyada-Lu and Barsha, plus the youths under the age of thirteen, continue to work. The women looked like they were encouraging the work of the house as usual.

We all go for the Kamadu cabin in the main house as we greet those people.

On that road, Malfira-Naham was looking around a bit.

"Oh, oh, I thought in the morning, after all, the Lou family is a big family. Or, you have eight houses, but you don't live with your family, do you?

"Yeah. You're only living here with the Lew family and four more guests. How many families are there, like, 40?

"Forty! Shh, shh, that's an amazing number of families..."

I arrive at Kamadu's cabin while I'm exchanging those words. There, people like Sheila-Lou and Mother Meer Ray, Vina-Lou, Lara-Lou and Tali-Lou were encouraging the bottom line for tomorrow.

"Hey, welcome to Luu's house. I'll be cleaning up soon, so just give me a minute."

"Yes. Then we'll rent you a place, too"

Here, too, for tomorrow. Decent work involves cutting meat and combining sauces such as' Kel Grill '.

"Cut the meat for tomorrow's business into pieces for today. That said, I don't cut it into thin pieces, I'm just going to split it it up for the first time. If you divide it into smaller pieces, Pico leaves have a higher proportion of people who inhale moisture, and the meat shrinks."

"I understand, sir. Wow, what should I do?

"I'm going to make sure you remember how to cut it. You may have learned that at Ravitz's house before, but meat is important because it changes the taste of each way you cut it."

That's how when I'm hands-on, Lara-Lew with the wash says, "Hmm?," he peered in.

"That girl, that's a face you don't see. Did you get more help with the stalls?

"Oh, yeah. Tool-din's opening a confectionery stall, so we're going to have one more. Wouldn't that be the first time the Lid women over there have come to the Lew house?"

"Ah, shit! I'm going down to Inn Town on the third, so thank you."

"Oh, thank you. My name is Malfira-Naham, the third sister of Naham's house."

"Naham?", Lara-Lew tilted his little neck.

Mother Meer Ray, who is finishing her greeting in the morning, speaks from a distance.

"Naham is Ravitz's family. Lew's house is a family that has never been involved."

"Ravitz's? Well, then your house, too, used to be Fa's house and blood?

With eyes as blue as the sea, Lara-Luu observes Marfila-Naham wandering. Malfira-Naham let his eyes swim like a drowned goldfish.

"Hmm. Heh. Sure, hey, do the eye-fa and hair colors look alike? This is what I call a fa. It's even more dazzling."

"Ah, yes. Naham has many humans with pale colored hair. and there may be more tall women than any other family."

"Uh, Ai-Fa is also so tall. Not as good as you."

"Look, don't interrupt your work, Lara... your daughter is in trouble..."

Vina-Lou, who was also starting to clean up after him, approaches. Admitting that appearance, Malfira-Naham let his eyes swim again.

"You have a lot of beautiful people in Le, Le and Leu houses. That's the family of the chieftaincy."

"... we were born before the Lew family became the chieftaincy muscle, but hey..."

Vina-Lou had a cool face and went too far through our place. Lara-Luu shrugs one shoulder too, then goes after him.

"Yes, yes, come on. I'm nervous. People in the chieftaincy feel like they're all full of power and brilliance."

"Yeah, sure. But if you go through it for a day, it'll make you less nervous."

At the very least, no other member of the stall has expressed any fear to the people of the Lou family. While respecting him as a chieftaincy muscle, he is rightfully deepening his bond.

"Speaking of which, when we've rebuilt the house, we've finally talked about keeping our families with the northern settlements."

That's what Mother Meer Ray said as she approached us.

"Lew tried to get the girls to come and go with Zaza, Ray with Gene, Rutim with Dom, about two at a time. And in Rutim, it's like they're gonna let the men come and go."

"Really? It's a very comforting story to hear about the deepening of the ties between the blood of Luu and Zaza."

"Right. Even at Din's house, they're sending family members to and from somewhere, right?

Tul-din nodded "yes" to Mother Meer Ray's words.

"Lid and Din are now taking care of their families with Havilla and Dana. Havilla and Dana are so far away from home that they can't go to Fa or Luu's house that they want to learn Kamado's job."

"Havilla and Dana? Was it originally Din or Lid's blood?

"Yes, the blood connection is thin, but they are all Zaza's family"

Exchanges between families, as resolved at the Conference of Parents, are finally about to be implemented. If it hadn't been for Ameshorn's Turnaround, it would have been implemented sooner.

I have heard that Sauti and the Baim and Die bloodlines, among others, have already gone to their families' homes in Luu to learn how to handle novel ingredients. Tomorrow there will be another city of meat, so I guess I'll buy novel ingredients at the price of preparing raw fresh meat.

(Now the only people who are not participating in interactions with other clans are... the Ravitz blood clan and the Sung family?)

I hear that Ravitz is not going to get his hands on novel ingredients until his family's wealth reaches Mizumi. but if you are interested in a delicious meal, any day you will be attending a study group at Fa's house.

When that happens, only the Sung family will remain. It should have been difficult to go to Fa's or Luu's house, as the Sung family is also taking over the house quite a bit to the north.

"What will happen to Sung's house? Is it unacceptable for the Sung family to keep their families with each other?

"Um, I don't know. I don't think the rest of the family would be reluctant to keep their families because they seem to have completely changed their minds, even though they are already in Sung's settlement... it's just not the time."

"Not the other way around? At Sung's house, is something wrong?

Didn't you hear that? In Sung's settlement, that sacrificial hall was crushed. The last big, stupid earthquake. "

That was my first ear, too.

Tour-Din and Yun-Sudra also look back at Mother Meer Ray in amazement. There were only three of them on this occasion who had been to the sacrifice hall outside of Lou's blood.

"I was in a hurry at that time, so I guess I was left to talk about something else. I'm just finishing up a parenting meeting, and I'm not even going to use it for another year."

"So what about the Sung family? There's got to be no one else who's been badly injured, right?

"Oh. But it was Sung's human role to protect the sacrificial hall. I didn't even know how to fix a big, stupid building like that, so I told you I was on my way."

That being said, Mother Meer Ray shrugged her shoulder a little.

"The sacrificial hall in the first place would have been built the way it was made when we lived in the black woods, right? The Sung family hasn't even told us how to make it, so we're in a lot of trouble."

"That's tough. What the hell are we going to do?

"Come on. Looks like we talked about how we could just make a tree out of it, but is that hard too? Sacrifice Hall is stupid."

That said, Mother Meer Ray took a small breath. Mother Meer Ray also visited Sung's settlement at the last Parents' Conference, so she knows how stupid she is.

"I knew it, it's a lame story. I don't think we can rely on the Jagals."

"The Jagals? Are you the architects?

"Oh. When I heard that Fa's house depended on those people, then I even asked for the sacrificial hall. But it costs nine silver coins in a normal house, so it's going to be a hell of a price for a sacrifice hall."

That is true, if we rebuild the sacrificial hall with wooden construction, we will need an interminable silver coin. That may be enough for a hundred pieces of silver coins.

But - and I figured.

"But you don't have to make it that fine, do you? I only use it once a year, because it was a building made of grass in the first place. If we could just get enough place to sleep on the spot for now, would that be enough?

"That must be it. Hey. Is this some kind of thoughtful idea?

"I don't know if I'm being considerate, but I wondered if putting a leather curtain on a wooden pillar would suffice.... you see, it's like the tent of" A Seat of Gamleys. "

When I turned the water that way, Rayna-Lew hit me with a "oh" hand.

"That was a pretty big build, for sure. Together, it looks like a sacrificial hall."

"That's right. It may be hard to prepare all that leather, but compared to the hardship of building a wooden house, it doesn't seem like much."

However, putting up a sacrificial hall-sized tent would be a corresponding struggle after all. Besides, if you work on it with amateur ideas, it's going to collapse soon.

"If you like, why don't we talk to the architects? Perhaps you could give us some advice."

"Right. Just listen to me. If it takes about nine pieces of silver, we can send them out at Lew's house."

So in the meantime, the story about the Hall of Sacrifice came to a close.

Murphyra-Naham, who has been cutting meat according to my handrails for a long time, asks me a favor.

"Oh, uh... what is the silver coin that you've been talking about since just now? Are copper coins different again?

"Oh, yeah. Copper coins would have red and white too, wouldn't they? It's the same thing… Silver coins are a currency worth 1,000 red copper coins."

"Let it go, let it go? Well, that's a tremendous amount...... did Fa's house pay as much as nine of those silver coins to rebuild the house?

"Yeah. It's times like this that I should capture my wealth. I thought about it quite a bit."

"Shh, that's amazing..." Malfira-Naham breathed deeply.

Lilli-Lavitz, who was encouraging the same job a little further away, smiled less, silently. She can't tell me what her partner, Day-Ravitz, thought about the matter.

(Well, no. I don't care what the people around me think, because I and I-Fa thought this was the right thing to do)

At that time, the doorboard of Kamado's cabin was opened properly.

Looking back, the crutched tier stands upside down with her eyebrows. When I was in that garnet, my eyes caught me and opened wide open.

"Ah! I knew you were home, Asta! How could you not wake me up tier!?

"No, I heard Tia was in the middle of a nap. Tia should rest her body a little bit, right?

"Still, if Asta returns, Tia has to come with us!

Tia stepped on the estate on her left foot alone before turning to Mother Meer Ray.

"Meer Ray-Lew! I want forgiveness to step into this building!

"I don't care about him. We're all dealing with knives, so we're not gonna jump on Asta, are we?

"I know!" and then Tia approached me with a chick and a grudge and looked up.

"... I want Asta to wake up a proper tier in the future when she returns"

"I get it. I'm sorry you didn't mind."

After such a scene, the descent was completed.

Finally, it is the start of the study group. The different clan members were all eager to look at me with anticipation.

"So today, I was studying how to handle Hoboi's oil. Every time I tried it, Malfira-Naham spilled tears, and it was a lot of noise."

That night, surrounding dinner in the hall of Fa's house, I was supposed to report it that way.

"I guess everything was new because we were only talking about buying Aria and Poitan at Naham's house. Still, I think it was a lot of reaction."

"... right"

"Yeah. Plus, if you suddenly mouth such elaborate dishes, I don't think you're quite familiar with your tongue. Still, Murphyra-Naham has always been thrilled that whatever he eats is delicious. I don't think any of the parents at the Parents' Conference would have shown that much reaction."

The main dish of the day was a dish conscious of green pepper meat silk. If it was made from caron's foot meat, it would have already been offered in Kimmus's Tail Pavilion, but this time it was made from Giva meat and Hoboi oil for a more authentic flavour.

While silently eating that green pepper meat silk, Ai-Fa is listening to me. My report hasn't run out of stuff yet.

"And I'm not just thrilled, I'm very keen on my job, Marfila-Naham. Because of that, I remember things quickly, and most ingredients are supposed to be new to me, but it's like I can remember my name properly just once I hear them."

"... Hmm"

"Plus, I guess you have a good taste. Even when I say a few thoughts, I get a good target... I can't rely on the way I talk, but the content is solid. Everyone else was impressed."

…………

"So, from what I hear, Malfila-Naham originally had a very strong interest in a delicious meal. Then I wish you'd say that from the beginning, but Lily-Lavitz is a bad person. He said he was devastated by what we taught him before. Since then, look forward to the day when Ravitz's blood will be able to help Fa's house -"

And so I finally realized that Ai-Fa was too quiet.

"... you know, is Ai-Fa angry about something?

"Why should I be angry?

"No, I thought you looked kind of grumpy."

Precisely, it feels like a grumpy aura is being released. Her face is more faceless, but her blue eyes didn't feel like there was a flaming light.

Then Tia, who was cheeky with green pepper meat silk, swallowed it and then spoke.

"Tia thinks that Asta was too eager to talk about the other ladies, so Isn't Ai-Fa in a mood?

"Don't let anything out of your mind! I'm not that narrow of a person!

Ever since I raised my voice, Ai-Fa has been twisting me.

"... but I thought it was unusual for you to speak so enthusiastically. Is Malfira-Naham so peculiar?

"No, it's not as peculiar. I don't know... I have a feeling I might grow up to be a fine kamado. I don't usually feel that way, so it's unusual for me to try."

I'll make you laugh so that you can fool Ey-Fa's heart.

"Besides, it's kind of comforting to say that Ravitz's blood family has such a number, isn't it? Maybe she'll have a good influence on Ravitz's blood family, just like Tour-Din has had a good influence on Zaza's blood family?

"... um. We should, among other things, spin the right edge with Ravitz's blood."

"Yeah, so I'm happy to feel the talent of Malfila-Naham."

Ai-Fa stunned my face silently for a while before letting the meal resume.

I don't think I'm in a good mood after all. I could talk a lot about Malfira-Naham, so I decided to change the subject.

"Speaking of which, the Castle Town Tea Party was decided on the 28th of the Blue Moon. What shall we do with the hunter of the escort?

"... discussed the matter with Berdu-Fow. Since there are still few givahs in the hunting grounds of Fa and Fou, the other from me and Fou's bloodline decides to take on the role of escort"

"Oh well. Do hunters get their jobs off?

"No. After I return from Castle Town, I go into the woods. We can do as much work around the trap as we've set."

The tea party takes place before and after Jomtien, so we can return at noon. Then it should certainly have been possible to move in the same steps as Ai-Fa said.

"But Ai-Fa and the other of them are in trouble. I'm sorry for the hard work."

"Don't worry about it. You and I are gonna do Kamado's job after we get back from Castle Town, right? More importantly, this is an act to deepen the ties of righteousness with the nobles of Genos, so it is not necessary."

The content of the words seemed as usual, but after all the grumpy aura of Ai-Fa didn't seem to have disappeared.

Either way, the supper was successfully finished, so I cleaned it up after, and it is sleep support.

Following that step, Ai-Fa offered Tia an an unusual word.

"Tia, you stay in the bedroom first. I'll have a few words with Asta."

"Hmm? Will the Astas be here soon, too?

"Hmm. It won't take that long."

"Okay," Tia nodded as she bit the yawn to death early.

"Let's follow the words of Ai-Fa. I hope they come as soon as possible"

That's how Tia disappeared across the doorboard, and Ai-Fa stood in front of me once again.

Arms under my chest, eyes slightly narrowed and he twisted my face. There hasn't been much pointed at me lately, it's a hunter's power.

"Uh, what the hell are you talking about?

"... what thoughts do you have of a bunch of women named Malfila-Naham?

"How come, that's what I just told you. I'm just glad it might be promising in the future."

"... but praising others on the day you met was something you never did. I guess you behaved like that when you met Mim at best."

While stating it that way, Ai-Fa has been putting his face much closer together.

"... Is that Malfira-Naham a comparable Kamadoku number to Mim? Then I'll have a point."

"Yeah? No way! Really, it's just a story that I felt might be promising. I can't imagine how skilled she'll be at the moment."

"... then why are you so enthusiastic?

"So that's what I just said. You suspect I'm hiding something or spitting a lie?

If so, there's no such thing as an out-of-heart story. I put my chest up and let my eye-fa take my sharp eye.

Then Ey-Fa leaves her lips cute with the same eye.

"I don't believe you can imitate that. But... talking so passionately about people you've just met has never happened."

"So there's no way I'm gonna feel weird about the other women, is there? My heart is already fixed."

Sooner or later, I had to pull out the heirloom sword.

Ey-fa leaves her lips clutched, reddening the look she sees.

But since this treasure knife is also a sword of all blades, I was to blush in the same way.

"I'm never doubting your mood. But... is it possible to think about welcoming the blood family back to their daughter-in-law in order for you to reconnect with Ravitz... and that's what got me thinking."

"Then don't say anything stupid. There's no way I'm gonna think about that."

"I know it's a stupid idea. But once it came to my mind, I couldn't get rid of it."

Ai-Fa glanced at me with her lips crooked.

"... you were once disturbed to see Darum-Lou and I interact drunk. Maybe this is a similar situation."

"Ugh, yeah. That's a nostalgic story."

"... it would be foolish for me to make the same mistake that I did to you back then. If I made you uncomfortable, I must apologize."

"Yes, no, you don't have to apologize. I would never feel weird about other women... just trust me."

"Um," Ai-Fa nodded small.

Your face remains red, although your lips were finally back to their normal form. Ey-fa, who frowned to be ashamed of his own demerit, was so pathetic and fascinating that he wanted to cuddle him by accident.

There, the tone of the tease and the opening of the doorboard sounds.

"I forgot to say one thing to Asta, but if you two wander around in the other room, it won't hurt to be late."

Ai-Fa stiffened his whole body before looking back at the bedroom in a squeaky momentum.

"Don't let it get out of the way! I'll be on my way, just wait for me!

"Um, okay"

The doorboards are closed and the figure of the tier is invisible.

I let Ay-Fa, who was shaking his shoulder with a mess, laugh from the side.

"Well, shall we sleep together? I'll take the candlestick."

The candlestick, lit with orange fire, is placed on the edge of the window. When I tried to put my hand up over there, I was grabbed by Ey-Fa along the way.

Ai-Fa pulled my hand closer and closed her eyelids as she pressed it against her cheek.

"I'm ashamed of my lack of clarity. Please forgive me, Asta."

"Forgive me or not," he said.

With all my thoughts, I let Ai-Fa gently stroke her cheek with her fingertips.

The eye-fa frown, which was hissed by a cut beard, slowly unwinds the strong tension with it. Eventually, when he opened his eyelids, the blue eyes of Ey-Fa felt filled with light of joy and love.

"... So, go"

"Yeah, you are"

After we made sure of your warmth, we decided to head to Tia's waiting room.
