Isekai Ryouridou
Hunter's Testimony ③ - Celebration Night
Thus, it is the night.
The squares of Lilyn's settlement were packed with overly tolerable numbers of people.
There are twelve Lilyn's family members and twenty guests. Although it is a small number of people compared to a regular feast, the square is also quite enthusiastic because it is smaller.
Parents of Lou, Rutim, Ray, Min, Maam, Mufa, and their male and female offerings. The men are wrapped in hunter's clothes, and the women are dressed in banquet costumes. Since this is a celebration of the Lou family, Ai-Fa also came in the form of a hunter, not a banquet costume.
Lilyn's family, who welcome it, have four children, one male and one female, about ten years old, and one boy, who looks 6,7 years old, and then the eldest brother in the main house, who has just turned five.
And then there's Gillan-Lillin, his brother, two young men, Ur Ray-Lillin, and the young ladies. The other woman, who is pregnant, was still not in this place to keep an eye on the toddlers.
And it is Schmiral, a family with no blood connection.
Among the men, only Schmiral was not wrapped in the hunter's clothes. It's going to be awarded.
"As I've already been told, I want to give my family Schmiral some hunter's clothes today. As a blood family, I'd like you to see it."
Gillan-Lillin, with the ritual fire on his back, said so freshly with a serene look as usual. Without having to raise your voice, that voice will be passed on to all people.
Gillan-Lilyn is, at first glance, a very normal man with medium meat, gray hair and a moustache. But his power as a hunter is extraordinary, combined with his curiosity for the unknown and his flexibility for sudden change. By the forest, it was supposed to be so rare.
"And today, I'm inviting about two guests without blood. Whether you need to introduce it in advance or not, it's Ai-Fa and Asta at Fa's house. These two have been friends since before Schmiral became a family member by the woods, so I decided to invite them specifically."
We were standing a little further apart, and we thank each other. It seems that Gazran-Rutim and Lau Ray and Rudd-Lou, who were able to safely win their seats as offerings, were watching over us with their respective expressions.
"Then I'm going to start the ritual. Schmiral, forward."
"Yes," said Schmiral, as Lilyn's hunters took out the vertigo giva's femur and started pounding it.
Light, hard tones engrave irregular rhythms. In the meantime, now about ten years old, threw a bunch of vanilla removed from the grass cage into the ritual fire.
It must be that mysterious vanilla, which is also burned at the wedding feast. Trying to spark that sweet, slightly sour smoke, Schmiral knelt before Gillan-Lilyn.
"It's my family, Schmiral. I sincerely congratulate you on your definitive power as a hunter."
"Yes, thank you"
When Gillan-Lillin took out the knife he had hidden under the hunter's clothes, he covered it in smoke and then pressed his sheath against Schmiral's right shoulder.
When Gillan-Lillin pulls the knife, Schmiral rises. Then Ur Ray-Lilyn and the other lady approached from behind. What's in that hand is a brand new hunter's coat.
I guess that's what Schmiral's tailored giva fur was yesterday.
Ur Ray-Lilyn and the others still covered it in smoke before letting fluff and shmiral weave their feathers.
Ur Ray-Lilyn turns to the front and wraps the string around his neck. That's how Ur Ray-Lilyn pulled herself away, revealing Schmiral standing there as a hunter by the woods.
Apprentice hunters say when they come to work, they wrap up the clothes of borrowed hunters. But I've never been on a scene where Schmiral was heading to work, so this was the first time I saw him wrapped around a hunter's clothes.
Schmiral, who is always wearing a cloak for his journey, stands wrapped around the hunter's clothes.
That was it, and I was going to spill tears.
In the meantime, Gillan-Lillin smiles and offers a knife that fits into his sheath.
"This knife and hunter's clothes are yours alone, until then, when you return your soul to the woods. Keep up the good work of the hunters as the people of the woods, as the families of Lilyn."
"Yes," he replied briefly, while Schmiral received the sword.
Lower it to your hips and look back at us and a giant shadow will go towards you. He is the head of the parental muscle, Donda-Lou.
"Luu's Parent Donda-Lu Blesses Shmiral in Lilyn's House"
From Donda-Lou's hand, it seemed that Gibba's fangs were given away.
Then the Gazran-Rutim and Lau Ray also advance: when the parents of the six families were finished, now six men, then six women - the beginning of which was Vina-Rou.
"Luu's eldest sister Vina-Lu celebrates Schmiral of Lilyn's house......"
Vina-Lou had his back on this one, so he didn't know what look he was wearing.
Just around that shoulder, I can see Schmiral smiling.
He had a very happy smile.
At the end of the day, it's me and Ai-Fa.
The moment I stood in front of Schmiral, the tears that had been held between my eyes had finally spread to my cheeks.
"Excuse me. Congratulations."
I laughed in the blindfold and let my tears soak up my back of my hand.
Schmiral smiles with the same expression as earlier.
"Thank you, Asta. … I was also greeted today, thanks to Asta."
"No. It's all the result of Schmiral's efforts"
I handed Schmiral my first fangs.
A hand of Schmiral with long fingers, even seemingly graceful, receives it. But its surface felt harder and rougher than before - than it was in the days when I was receiving copper coins in the stalls.
I wonder how much training Schmiral went through until today.
To become a hunter by the woods, Schmiral should have dawned on his bloody training. I haven't seen that either. Surrounded by men from the woods with human detached physical abilities, only you have the power of a crowd - but you have to aim to be on par with them. It was even hard for me to imagine how harsh those days were.
In comparison to the power of the harvest festival, Schmiral never showed himself competing in the settlement of Lew because he would lose lightly to Lilyn's family. Because how sorry I was - how anxious I was - that thought was hidden behind this gracious expression.
With that in mind, my cheeks spilled tears from next to next.
Schmiral is smiling with his fangs in his hand, given to him by me.
"Asta, don't cry. I'm worried, Ai-Fa."
"Yes, I'm sorry, really. … See you soon."
I left the place, covering my face with a woven cloth I had prepared for my nose.
Really, Ai-Fa pokes me in the flank.
"Spill your tears properly... is that something you can't handle?
"Yeah. Sounds like you can't handle it"
Answering in tears, Ai-Fa became more and more on the top of the Buddha. Those eyes seem to have very different emotions swirling around them.
"At this, Schmiral was recognized as a hunter by the woods. Mother Forest will also be watching over Schmiral with a great heart of joy and mercy"
Gillan-Lillin's voice echoed the night air again.
"I want Schmiral to continue to show his name how he works shamelessly, as Lilyn's family, as Lew's blood. … fruit liquor for everyone."
Ladies and toddlers with lots of earthen bottles in the basin run among the guests. Since the earthen bottle of fruit liquor went over those hands, Gillan-Lillin also took up the earthen bottle.
"All you have to do is share the joy with the blood ladies and the dishes and fruit liquor that Asta has prepared for you.... Bless Lilyn's family, Schmiral"
"Bless you!" The voice is summoned.
After I saw it, I decided to rush to simplicity.
"Oh, Asta. Are you all right, sir?
The young women of Rutim, who had arrived earlier, grinned and smiled. I'm sure they would have seen me spill tears clearly. I wasn't all right, but I said, "I'm fine."
"Come on, let's do our job as Kamadoku first."
"Right. … but Asta and Vina-Lou should deliver the dishes to Schmiral first"
"Huh? But in the beginning, I think a lot of people will pack it up, right?
"With Yamil-Ray and me, we'll be fine. Shaska's serving is also at your disposal."
That lady, cheerful and frantic enough to beat Morn-Rutim, was stating that to me with a full grin.
"This is literally the heart and soul of Asta and Vina-Lou. I want you both to see Schmiral mouth this dish.... and, you see, the men seem to be able to settle down on the rug, so delivering food is going to be a pretty good job."
Looking at it, it did seem that the majority of the men sat on the rug with fruit liquor. It may have been decided that it is cramped for more than thirty human beings to walk around in this space. The ladies and toddlers seemed to be working on the catering work, whether Lilyn's house had it or not.
"Okay. Well, then, let's take turns. Me and Vina-Lou will take care of the meals first, so I'll ask you and Yamil Ray for the second half."
"Yes, that's fine.... Oh, it looks like Vina-Lou and Yamil Ray are here too"
Two of the most gorgeous women in the banquet costume come closer together. Communicating the outcome of the discussion, Vina-Lou had responded with a blurred look, "Okay, wow..."
"Well, I'll help too"
With Ey-Fa and the three of us who gave us names, we decided to get to work on catering.
Today's lead is Schmiral, so it would be natural to deliver the dish first. We each stormed into the center of the car seat with a large basin in our hands.
"Thank you for waiting. It will be our prepared" Giva Curry. "
"Oh, Asta. Thank you for your hard day."
Gillan-Lilyn, sitting next to Schmiral, smiles loosely. Other than that, familiar faces surrounded Schmiral: Donda-Lou, Rudd-Lou, Gazran-Rutim and Lau-Ray. I guess this is a natural thing too, because they are the central figure of Luu's blood clan.
"Huh. The fragrance is strong, so I knew it would be served from the beginning. Well, I guess you deserve to celebrate Schmiral."
With the earthen bottle of fruit liquor in one hand, Rau-Ray gives a cheerful voice. The lead actor, Schmiral, had a very calm and full look, comparing me to Vina-Lou.
"Come on, I'll eat from you first, it's Schmiral. You can't complain about it today without Donda-Lou."
"Yes, thank you"
Under Schmiral, Vina-Lou gently offered a wooden dish.
It is "Curry Chaska", a flourishing place. I couldn't help but open my mouth because Vina-Lou wouldn't try to say anything.
"By the way, today, I've decided to share the work completely. This curry is made by Vina-Lou alone."
"What? I guess we have our share, too, right?
"Of course I do. If you don't eat the same dishes, you can't share the same joy."
As I explained, I turned the small plates served with "Curry Chaska" to everyone. Ai-Fa places a large plate of cutlets, hamburgers and salads in the center of the people.
"Vina-Lou's got curry, and we got Chaska, Hamburg and Gibba Cuttlefish. Hamburg and 'Giva Cuttle' should go well with curry, so put it on top and eat it."
Having said that, I turned to Schmiral.
"But I still have plenty of curry and chaska for you, so why don't you just keep eating first?
"Yes," Schmiral took up the wooden spoon.
After finishing the meal, Vina-Loux watches as he hides half his face in a basin where his luggage is gone.
For this new curry, I used Kimmus bone gala stock. Rich, white water tailored stock.
And even for the pursuit of roundness, I add the milk of the caron, and the nectar of the panem, and the grated fruit of the lamb, and to the concealed flavour, the red fruit liquor, and the tau oil, and the sugar, and even the leaves of the gigigi. In addition to Aria, Nenon and Chach, the ingredients even used Ma Pra and Chang and Mushroom Modki to get the body shape they deserved for a feast dish.
There are also three kinds of Gibba meat. A piece of chopped shoulder meat, thinly chopped rose meat, and then Momo's ground meat. My preference is rose meat, but the carefully simmered shoulder meat was also difficult to throw away, and the ground meat that goes to Mandarin Lou matches the preferences of the forest people. It was an arithmetic for you to enjoy all of them.
Vina-Lou left all of this alone.
A feast dish doesn't make sense unless we all share the same joy. In order not to disobey the lesson, 32 curries were to be left alone.
Besides, today, it's not a small platter like before. It's up to Ur Ray-Lilyn and the others to make this a curry breakthrough. And it is up to me to prepare the cutlets and hamburgers as toppings so that they do not seem to be enough for my fellow countrymen other than Schmiral.
Making 32 curries by yourself would have been a daunting task.
But this was what Vina-Lou wanted.
Previously on Curry Making, more or less, I borrowed the extra hand. But today or so, I want to make my own curry - I can't cook Chaska well, so I've been hoping Vina-Lou would at least let me do the curry alone.
Schmiral shrugged Curry and Chaska looking important and carried it to his mouth.
That's how one bite moment - opens his eyes like a hack.
"This curry...... flavor, no"
"Yes. I fine-tuned it again here recently, so I taught Vina-Lou that. … that's also yesterday's story."
I didn't mean to ask for an exit, but since Vina-Lou was silent, I had nothing else to explain.
"I just think it's a guide to the woods to have such a celebration the day after I gave Vina-Lou a hand job. … how is the flavour?
"It's delicious," Schmiral closed his eyelids.
"It's better than any dish I've ever had, it's delicious.... Asta, Vina-Lou, thank you"
"Yes, just for Chaska's sake, I'll take that word for it"
Using that as a signal, other people started eating as well.
In it, Rudd-Lou starts with a "heh" voice.
"Something's definitely changed. I don't know where it is."
"Yeah, I'm having trouble explaining it, because it's a fine tuning."
Still, I was proud that the curry for Chaska had been completed for the first time.
Curry is a deep dish, so I have no doubt that it will show different changes in the future. But the curry on which it is based is this flavor.
"It's me, Vina-Lou's curry, eating, fourth time. Lilyn's House, Becoming a Family, When You Decide... Rain Season, Hand Wounds, When You're Injured... Before This, Harvest Festival... It's All, Important, Memorable"
Schmiral said that in a very quiet voice.
"And for the fourth time, it's today. I'll never forget today."
Vina-Lou just nodded, "Yeah......"
Its face, which peeks slightly from the basin, has not turned red. However, those eyes in pale shades had a slight glow.
"But I think it's probably Gillan-Lillin's fault that Schmiral couldn't really finish Gibba off!
and Lau-Ray suddenly interrupted loudly.
Gillan-Lillin, who was about to put a cutlet on top of the curry, looks back at Lau-Ray with a decent face.
"Hmm. Am I a hunter who doesn't get that far?
"No! The other way around! You've been escorting Schmiral all these months! That's why Schmiral didn't get a chance to tailor Gibba!
Rudd-Lou speaks up "Oh".
"In short, you're talking about if Gillan-Lillin was around, he'd be put on first from one end"
"Oh yeah! Me too, I spent the first year touring the woods with my dad, but he didn't hesitate or abandon me, so I didn't get a chance to put him back on! Wasn't Gillan-Lillin handy to Schmiral in the same way my father did?
"Right. I was always doing everything I could. It's natural not to get out of hand with the giva hunting job, but I've always been careful not to let Schmiral get you ahead of me, so to speak.... because I thought that was my role."
With a smile on his face, Gillan-Lillin said so.
"Schmiral masterfully uses two hounds. I'm sure if I hadn't had my hands on it, I would have lightly tailored Giva in the first month. Then I thought my heart as a hunter would grow."
"My father said the same thing. Because if you're serious about a hunter with the power to be a brave man, this is no place for an apprentice."
"I guess you were able to gain so much power too because you were imposed such a test. … it's the same thing with Schmiral"
With that said, Gillan-Lillin turned to Schmiral.
"You were able to pin Gibba down before I did everything in my power. I didn't think I'd get ahead of you in all this time.... you have nothing to be ashamed of, you name the hunter by the woods"
"... thank you, Gillan-Lillin"
With Curry's plate in his hand, Schmiral drowned his head deeply.
Looking at it, Vina-Lou lags behind.
"Well then, I have a job to do... now let me excuse you Wow..."
"Yes. After work, can we talk, please?
"... probably hey..." Vina-Lou flinches. Me and I-Fa, we're going after it, too.
While walking, Vina-Lou still holds the basin up in front of his face. In the shadow of it, Vina-Lou was softly plucking his eyes.
(Vina-Lou, too, must be disturbed by a lot of things)
Speaking with Schmiral would be more desirable after putting aside some more time. As a matter of fact, even I wasn't at all emotionally stable yet.
"I'm back. What's the rest of the dish like?
"Oh, are you back yet? The first iron pot is still empty."
Chaska had prepared as many as three cups in an iron pan. That was the only prospect I had today to get half my stomach filled.
"Then now we're in charge of the platter. Deliver it to those who haven't eaten it yet."
"Well, what kind of work do you do over there?"
It was about the numbers with Ur Ray-Lilyn as their leader. We are certainly running to our jobs there and will have to enjoy the food.
"On the way home, you'll have the food over there, too. Okay, I'm coming."
For the women of Rutim to be active, Yamil-Ray is more dressed to be dragged by it. But well, there are some aspects of it that are easier for Yamil-Ray to do. I decided to join Vina-Lou and Ai-Fa on the spot.
but people don't come as much as I thought. The men, who make up half of this place, are settling on the rug, and the women are very few people walking around in the first place because they are working on their jobs. Our main task seemed to be to stir the curry to keep it from burning.
"When these two pans are empty, shall we have our own meal?... I = fa would be hungry, too?
It's been a long time since I spoke to Vina-Lou, so I speak to Ai-Fa. Ai-Fa nodded "um" with a solemn face. Inside, he may be nagging because he wants to eat 'Hamburg Curry Chaska'.
There, came multiple figures.
Gillan-Lillin's brother and three children. Except for the eldest brother and only three boys in the main house.
"I'm sorry I pushed my guests to do this kind of work. If you're free, fill your bellies."
"Yes, thank you. Has this dish been spoken of yet?
"Mm-hmm. It was so delicious. There's no one in Lilyn's house who can make him happy yet."
bigger than Gillan-Lillin, a man of a good width. However, the grey hair and bright eyes were very similar to those of Gillan-Lilyn.
The male and female, about ten years of age, have a quiet face and the boy, about 6,7 years of age, is caught in the foot of the male. All those eyes seemed to stare at me.
"You haven't had much of a chance to show your face at a feast before. Besides, I think Gillan had to protect his house on Easter and the rest of the Astas, but I had to protect the house on behalf of the runaway parents."
"Yes. You're Gillan-Lillin's brother, aren't you?
"Oh. This guy and this guy, they're my kids. Well, there's no point in thinking that separately."
What the men pointed out was the toddler taking it under his feet and then the girl.
So, the other boy is the child who lost his parents before he even lost his temper. They were all supposed to be children born before Lilyn became Luu's blood family.
"Can these guys eat Him, too? I've been helping out there all my life, and I haven't even spoken to him yet."
"I understand. There are still plenty of them, so eat what you think."
Vina-Lou is in charge of the curry. Ai-Fa stood in front of a large plate of cutlets and hamburgers.
"Put whatever you want on him. And if you eat it, you eat this vegetable too."
"Oh, yes," the elderly boy takes up the hamburger as he responds. The other two had chosen the cutlet.
Somehow, older men and women seemed to be more adult than their age, and six years ago they were under five, so no matter how they calculated it, they shouldn't be more than ten, but they have a strangely deposited look. Maybe having a painful childhood was growing my mental age over my spare house.
Kids like that make curry mouth and eyes shine.
When the boy laughed "yummy," the girl nodded "yeah." The young child is obsessed with curry. Seeing that, I got my chest stuck again.
"Um, I'm bummed to ask you this... you're losing your partner early, aren't you?
I spoke softly so the children wouldn't hear me.
The men smile, "Uhm."
"By the time Gillan married Ur Ray, you'd already returned your soul. What's wrong with that?
"No. It's just that I, too, lost my mother when I was seven... it would have been hard to raise my children with one man, wouldn't it?
"There were two women in Lilyn's house. Still, I don't think it was hard."
Laughing, he put his hand on the girl's head.
She looks up at her father with a decent face, and then the girl grins with a grin. He smiled uncontrollably, even though he was an adult.
"Thanks to Gillan for mentioning that we didn't even have to lose Mr. The young son-in-law was in, and I was able to consolidate my readiness to return my soul without worries... but now thanks to the hounds brought by Schmiral, I have the prospect of being able to live for how long. You don't know what life is like."
"Yeah...... that's really true"
"And if Asta hadn't done business in the lodging town, neither would Schmiral have become Lilyn's family. If you think about it, Asta would be our benefactor too."
"Not at all. It's all about the woods and the Western gods."
After I answered like that, I covered my face with woven cloth. In a darkened world, he said, "What's going on?" The voice echoes.
"It's nothing. It's a little confusing today."
I'm sure Ai-Fa will be sighing next door.
Ever since I visited Lilyn's house, I have remained disturbed.
Schmiral was spending months with such attractive people.
With all the anxiety and anguish, it must have been a happy day - and I could have believed it that way.
