Isekai Ryouridou

That is how time flows too far - it is the day of the purple moon.

The puppet play made by Rico and the others went hand in hand with being unveiled in the settlement of Luu that morning.

It's a much quicker day than I expected. When he was invited to Castle Town, Rico said he should be able to reveal it in about half a month, but then he spent some time gathering information, so he stepped on it, wondering if it would be a little more relaxing.

Rico and the others, of course, were getting ready without hesitation every day. The preparation of the puppet's new outfit was completed in a day and a half, and the rest even entered the play's archery.

The audition was carried out in a luggage car, so no one knows what it is. It just seems to me that Rico was always heard whenever he walked through the back of that luggage car. That is how Rico and the others tried to comply with the deadlines they had set themselves.

"Of course, it wasn't properly completed from what to what. But I think I can tell you without a shortage of muscles."

That's what Rico said when he set the date of the revelation.

Maybe if there's something wrong with the content, I'm hoping to get it pointed out at an early stage.

Whatever, we had already sent out a circular to the Lou family two mornings ago, so we were all supposed to show it to them that day.

Just that day, it was a holiday - or Rico chose the holiday as his reveal day, so I could head over to Lew's house without worries.

The carving limit is five moments up. It fits around 10am. When we arrived loosely in the settlement of Luu, there were again large crowds waiting for us like a feast.

"Yo, Asta had an eye-fa, that was fast"

Lud-Lu, who was standing by with Sin-Lu, laughs cheerfully. When I got off the carrier, I gave him a smile back.

"You're another amazing crowd today. Aren't we getting a bigger crowd than last time?

"That's right. I don't want to miss such an interesting spectacle."

Really, it's the bustle of wondering if all the empty humans in Luu's blood have come together.

Then there was a big figure approaching this way, sending those people.

"Are the Astas here too? It's really like a banquet."

"Ah, good job, Dari-Sutty. You've had a rough morning."

"Uh-huh. But, well, as a chief, you should have a good look first."

Today, only the Fa's house and the sheikhs were allowed to visit. As for the other families, Rico and the others are supposed to tour their homes at a later date. But it was also a story after the chiefs and nobles accepted that there were no deficiencies in the content.

Rico and his car are packed in front of the main house. Since there was still a respite by the time the promise was inscribed, is it even the last meeting in the carriage? Rico and the others were nowhere to be seen.

Instead, he discovered George-Zaza talking about Giza-Lou by the luggage car. And longer than both of those names, I found out who was wearing Giva's skull, and I said, "Is that it?" and I was to tilt my little neck.

"That's Dick-Dom, isn't it? Did you go all the way out to Dick-Dom as well as Acting Chief George-Zaza?

"Yeah, because George-Zaza didn't stand at all for all the different events, starting with the Parents' Conference. In view of what happened around there, you must have accompanied Dick-Dom"

"Then wouldn't it be quicker to have Graf-Zaza himself?

In response to my inquiry, Dari-Sauti has responded with a relaxed smile.

"Stick around, it's not like Graf-Zaza avoided visiting Luu's settlement. The hunters of the northern clan were talking about doing their job in the hunting grounds of Lou and Rutim today, so they thought the young hunters would be more deserving of the role."

"Huh? Do the hunters of the northern settlements do their jobs in the hunting grounds of Luu or Rutim?

"Mm-hmm. So if we go back early tomorrow morning, we can do a solid job from Jomtien today and tomorrow," he said. Well, the deepening of the bond between Luu and Zaza will be a euphoria "

Of course, I could wholeheartedly agree with that. Today, the Gibbas at Luu's hunting grounds will carry more difficult hardships than usual.

When I was thinking that way, Dick-Dom looked back at me.

I wonder if that's how you struck George-Zaza, and he brings his family, who was gathered around him, closer to us. Seeing that look, Ai-Fa snapped low, "That's..."

"Fa's Parent Ai-Fa, and his family Asta. Let me say hello to Dom's family."

The hunters of Dom, all of whom looked majestic, stand in a sloppy line, even if not as good as Dick-Dom. The number was three, one of whom was a woman.

"Hey Lem-Dom. It's probably the first time I've seen Lem-Dom wrap around a hunter's clothes."

"Hmm. Until we're recognized as serving in the northern settlements, hunters are only allowed to wear their clothes when they work. Today's hunting day is running out, so it just so happens to be forgiven."

Rem-dom was smiling invincibly. Like the hunters of other families, they only wrap around fur cloaks and are not wearing skulls. Perhaps they won't be allowed to wear the skull worn until they're alone.

"Come on, what are you doing? Did the parents take you all this far to say hello?

and Lem-Dom calls behind his brother. There were still other hunters hidden behind Dick-Dom's giant.

And so, as the hunters came in and out of nowhere - I was supposed to be breathtaking.

"Digga... and Dodd too"

Ai-Fa raised her voice earlier because she must have realized they existed.

Diga, once the eldest brother of the Sung main house, and Dodd, the second brother, stand in a lot of nagging mood. The two of them were as if they were afraid of me and Ai-Fa's gaze.

"In view of the content of what is called a puppet play, it was decided to bring these people along as well. They will also speak of their evil deeds."

Even if Dick-Dom mentioned it in a harsh voice, the two of them won't try to give it a face. In the meantime, I was able to seriously quantify their changed appearance.

It's been over a year since I've seen them again. Since the day we uncovered Cycleus and Silhouel's great sins in Castle Town, we haven't had a chance to face each other once.

Digga seemed a lot thinner.

Nevertheless, it doesn't feel like it's done. Rather, I think the last time I looked at him was more of a rough impression. Back then, he was so quiet that he couldn't think of himself as a hunter by the woods with his cheeks slowly and his beard all he wanted.

Compared to that - or how much healthier it seems than when it was an outlaw before it. Perhaps I should say that wasted meat fell and tightened rather than lost weight. Even though it is not as transformed as the faithful followers of Refraia, the cheeks and neck area are tightened up all the time, and muscle lines float firmly on the arms and feet. If I hadn't had such an odd look, I might as well have described him as a hunter-like fierce figure by the woods.

And it's my brother Dodd.

This one feels more physically fit than before. I originally had a much more disappointing physique while my back length was about lower than mine, but I felt even more difficult around my arms and torso than that.

You look like a dog, the same. However, the shady impression has been dispelled because I used to hang my black and brown hair on the back for even longer. The brighter the look, the more I thought it might be a pretty loving face.

"... how long do you keep quiet about that? Unless you say hello, there's nothing you can do about it?

When Lem-Dom said it with a wretched face, Digga raised her gaze as if she had decided to do better.

Dark blue eyes compare me and Ai-Fa equally.

"Hih, that's a hiccup, Asta to Ai-Fa.... of Dom's family, Digga and Dodd."

"Mm-hmm. You guys seem to be breathing disaster."

Ai-Fa has a resolute face and is relative to both.

Diga distracted herself from her gaze like she was just a whim for a moment, but managed to stay and stare straight back at Ai-Fa.

"Oh, we have committed a great sin that, if normal, would never be forgiven, but we are able to spend our days trying to live righteously as a people by the woods, saved with the mercy of our compatriots. So, um..."

"Uhm. Whatever it is?

Diga chewed her lips and suddenly knelt on the spot.

"Oh, at that time, I'm so sorry.... You can't be forgiven for how much I apologize, but I was insane back then. also, if you want further punishment… I will spoil any punishment"

Then Dodd broke his knee the same way.

"I feel the same way about Diga.... I'm not going to make any excuses. We were unacceptably weak. I guess I was supposed to threaten the people around me to escape that weakness"

"... you have already been punished. There's no reason to punish you any more."

When Ai-Fa responded with a solemn voice, Diga gave a good face to the momentum.

His face is filled with tears.

"I know that.... but we want to redeem you."

"Living righteously as a people by the woods is your redemption. You guys are at Dom's house, and I'm guessing you're fulfilling that?

The voices and expressions of Ey-Fa were tight, but there was no hard light in their eyes. You noticed that, Digga makes her face crooked.

"Why... we did all that... you guys aren't mad...?

"Hmm. Can you stay angry for over a year? Besides, I... see you confronted with Cycleus and the others"

Saying it that way, Ai-Fa broke her knee herself and peered straight into Diga's face.

"Ever since then, you've been behaving as people by the woods trying to live right. And as a hunter, you can tell by the way you look at it that you are trained without hesitation. You don't have to be ashamed of yourself anymore."

"I = fa......" Digga groaned, spilling more tears.

Dodd is also laying down on his face, pounding and weeping.

"When I know, stand up. When they look up from the bottom, they're restless."

Digga and Dodd stood up powerless, nodded by Ai-Fa.

Lem-Dom, who watched the figure sideways, shrugged his shoulders, "Hang on".

"I thought you were starting to look a little like a hunter, but not yet. I'm not crying like a toddler with a big figure."

"Ugh, let it go. Leave me alone."

And Diga muddled her face with a shitty forearm.

Speaking of which, this is the kind of prolonged way Diga was supposed to talk. As I missed it, I looked back at Dodd.

"Speaking of which, we were talking about Dodd taking a deep hand during the hunt, weren't we? Seems to be perfectly well now, above all."

Then Dodd looked at me with a decent face.

"Hey, what is it? Why are you talking like that?

"Huh? Is something wrong?

"Because you... you didn't talk to us that politely, did you?

"Oh," I made him laugh.

"Speaking of which, maybe you did. Back then, I guess I didn't feel like paying you guys any respect. But basically, I'm very polite about older men."

"... you don't seem to resent us either"

"Yes, I feel the same way about Ai-Fa."

Rem-dom laughed with his nose, "Ha-ha."

"So I told you, didn't I? Ai-Fa and Asta live a remarkable life, so there's no such thing as a hippo on you. Even you don't remember the Geez you kicked over a year ago? Same thing."

"Oh, can't you handle that bad mouth of yours?

"That won't do anything. If you want me to be respectful, just be a hunter for one."

I felt sorry for Diga, so I put my mouth to rest.

"It's not like me and I-Fa didn't care about the Diggas either. However, I didn't worry about anything because I heard from Tour-Din, who was visiting the northern settlements every once in a while."

"Oh...... I told Tour-Din I wanted him to deliver a word of apology. But I knew if I didn't apologize with my own mouth, I'd lose my mind."

That said, Diga smiled weakly.

"They told me I didn't need it, but let me just apologize for it already. At that time, it was really bad. When I think back then, I still feel like I'm getting my stomach grabbed."

"I'm sure that's the punishment for you. You're trying to live right, so you feel painful about it."

The air of urgency that was on the spot seemed to be finally loosening up.

As I predicted that, Rudd-Lou comes up with a voice.

"But really, it's starting to feel like a hunter. Honestly, I was thinking if you guys were thrown into Dom's hunting ground or something, I'd give my soul back without waiting a month. So you're just saved by the strong blood of the Sung family"

Digga and Dodd look back at Rudd-Lou, not even knowing what to respond to. Rudd-Lou overlapped words only cheerfully.

"At that rate, they'll give you Giva's skull right away. I mean, you guys haven't tailored Giva with your own hands yet?

"Ah, oh. We've only been working for a little over a year. You can't be such an easy hunter."

"Hmm. Maybe that's the same reason that Schmiral-Lilyn couldn't really tailor Gibba."

That being said, Rudd-Lou looked back at Rem-Dom.

"Looks like you've been working so hard, too. If you're bluffing, they'll probably get you ahead of them, huh?

"I know! I'm in the woods with these guys, too!

Rem-dom kept his mouth shut like a child.

Then this time, Sin-Lu calls on Diga.

"Speaking of which, haven't you exchanged words with the Midas yet? Zwei-Rutim and Oura-Rutim, and Yamir-Ray, too, should be gathered here."

"Ah, oh. We just got here, too.... and I don't know what to look like and see them."

As Diga said with a crying face, Dodd stepped up to Sin-Lu.

"You were just calling me by name right now. Does that mean you're a family living in the same house?

"Mm-hmm. Mida became a family member of my house. I'm the head of the family, Sin-Lu."

"Oh, you're Sin-Lu. He's a powerful hunter who won the fight in town until the end.... the Mida-Lou one too, how are you doing?

In retrospect of Dodd's anxious face, Sin-Lu let down his mouth all the time.

"Just make sure with your own eyes. Even after seeing the puppet play, how long will it take?"

"So-so. Besides, you guys are gonna reveal the night at Rutim's house, right? Then at dinner. But you can also call Mida-Lou and Yamil-Ray. So, Sung, there's a lot of people out there who were from the main house, right?

To Rudd-Lou's words, Digga said, "Yeah, what?," he raised his bare voice.

"Oh, you're not allowed to do that, are you? We didn't get a Mr. like those guys... and we're still in the middle of redeeming our sins."

"That's not true. Mida-Lou and the others have been having fun with banquets and stuff since before I got Mr. Well, that doesn't matter, does it, Dick-Dom?

Dick-Dom looked down at Digga and Dodd with glowing black eyes in the shadow of his skull.

"It is inferior to let such desire be spoken out of the mouth of others. If you want it, speak with your own mouth."

"Well, then, of course, that's what I'm asking you to do... but we have to think best about living right as folks by the woods. Trying to deepen ties with a bloodless opponent... as a forest folk, isn't it right?

Digga was answering that way, frowning at the bitterness.

Dick-Dom looks back at that silently for a while before slowly shaking his neck to the side.

"It is assumed that the people of the woodland should deepen ties with their counterparts without blood. You've been cut off from blood, but you can't say it's wrong to deepen your bonds as fellow forest brethren."

"Yes, but..."

"... and you guys have spent more than a year in the northern settlements alone. Exchanging words with your former family here to make sure you're in the right mood will inspire you in the future. Isn't that a necessary thing to do in order to live right in the future?

Dick-Dom said that in his bottom voice.

"On top of that, ask. Do you wish to exchange words with your former families? Or are you repenting? Let me be honest with you."

"... I wish, from the bottom of my heart"

When Digga answered that way, Dodd also followed it with "Me too".

Dick-Dom nods, "Accepted."

"As Dom's parent, let's tell each parent. After seeing this puppet play."

"... thanks. I sincerely appreciate it, parent."

When Diga answered with a tearful face, the square was wrapped up.

Looking back, a splendid Totos car is traversed at the entrance to the square. The people of the castle have arrived.

"Is that it? Didn't the nobles see a play in Castle Town?

"Before that, only a few people got ahead of me. How could Rud-Lew not know if I knew?

The newspaper was passed on to me two days ago. Also on the way back from the city of Castle, Lyada-Lou, the messenger, told me.

Several nobles and their squires come out of the Totos car, watched by the people by the woods. Donda-Lou and Dari-Sauti, plus three of George-Zaza, were to welcome it.

"... it seems that there will be such a large number of nobles standing in Castle Town. So, Rico's play is not good enough to spoil the name of Count Turan's family, so he's offered to let me confirm it in advance."

While I was explaining to Rudd-Lou, people from Castle Town stepped into the square.

Its blushes are Melfried, a mediator with the people by the woods, and Polearth. Refraia, a party, and Musul, a squire. And it was called Fermes, a diplomat of the king's capital, and Gemd, a squire.

Instead of Refraia, she also looks like a girl with dark, still ragged hair. Dial also had Larvis with him, and he was tight.

"Now it looks like we're all here.... Fa's parents, Ai-Fa and his family, Asta, will come here too."

Upon Donda-Lou's invitation, me and Ai-Fa also proceeded to walk to the front of the main house.

In front of the luggage cars packed there is already set up a table, the stage of a puppet play. And on its front, a large rug was spread.

"You, too, should see the puppet play in this place. Keep your hips down properly."

Me and I-Fa let me line up in the corner of the rug.

Neighbors are Dial and Larvis, with Rifreia and Musul sitting on the other side of it. I had a meeting with the Refraiers, and then I whispered to Dial.

"You used to get into this facial rash. How did you convince the nobles?

"It's not a hard story. I'm a party to that noise, too. Polearths is happy to be here."

I see that when I was exposed to Count Turan's mansion, Dial was there. No way. Dial may have appeared in puppet plays, but his credentials as a prospector may well have come together.

"Well, let's get you started"

In response to Donda-Lou's gaze, Mother Meer Ray threw her voice inside the luggage car.

Correspondingly, Rico and Belton with large crates appear. Van-Deiro, who got off the carrier together, was dressed to stay in the place and watch the Ricos from the rear.

"Thank you so much for coming together today in your busy schedule. Please see if my puppet play is flawed."

With a face that was a lot more nervous than before, Rico gave a bowl of grace.

Belton takes his hat and bows his head sorry.

"Tomorrow, let me shut up and see it through to the end. It was about a half an hour of play, right?

To Melfried's words, Rico nodded yes.

"It is a composition of two acts, so after the first act, you will have time to prepare a new puppet. Including that, I wonder if it's going to be more than half an hour."

"I understand. Well, here's your first time."

Rico and Belton turned to the back of the table and installed the background plates as before.

Finally, a puppet play featuring me will be unveiled.

I was supposed to wait for the opening as my heart rattled.

The squares, which were wrapped up on purpose, also calm down.

In the meantime, Rico's voice sounded good.

"Kamado no Asta by the woods. Act I, Sung Family Chapter. … let me get started"

On stage, a puppet appears.

At that moment, the blurring spread again to the plaza where it was quiet.

"Haha," or "wow," there's also laughter and admiration all around.

Obviously, it was a puppet imitating me.

Black hair, black eyes. Lukewarm yellow skin. What I'm wearing is white t-shirts and cooking pants.

However, some people may have thought it a lot. Only I know what I look like in my cooking clothes, with the people of my nearby clan, and Rimi-Lou, who was sneaking up on Fa's house in the distance. From the day I first exchanged words with Limi-Lu - the day I served my first baked Poitan and hamburger to Ai-Fa - I've been dressed in a woodland outfit.

Either way, my puppet appeared.

The puppet lay in the middle of the stage, coming.

Eventually, as the stirring pulls away, Rico's narration echoes as if he was waiting for it.

"One year, it's about the Yellow Moon. In the dark woods, the young man woke up."

Thus, the puppet's play Kamado no Asta by the Forest was opened.

People, quiet as they hit the water again, were to be seen in the play.
