Six Clans Joint Harvest Festival (1) - Bottom Preparation -
Then, after consultation with the Three Patriarchs, Tikatras' two requests were successfully accepted.
Tikatras stayed in a deserted settlement on the edge of the forest and were invited to a joint harvest festival of six clans.
Of course, with regard to the Joint Harvest Festival, the intention of the six clans to do so was to be respected. The Ai-Fa were summoned to the meeting hall of the Three Patriarchs, where they discussed until they were convinced.
"The Harvest Festival was to invite the people of the post town, including Yumi!" Even if it's a noble's wish, we can't let your schedule go! "
"Hmm. Besides, if the aristocrats are coming to the feast, we should let them have the same security soldiers as before." I don't know what kind of dangers may arise when outlaws come to the feast of the city's guests and toddlers. "
"So why don't you invite the nobility of Genos?" They seem to care about Tikatras over there, so I'm sure they'll be happy to take their seats. That way, it would be easier to get soldiers ready. ”
It seems that the discussion proceeded in that way.
It was said that such requests were conveyed to the nobles of Tikatras and Genos, and that they were granted without exception.
Well, as far as I'm concerned, I've been prepared since I was told that story at House Luu's dinner party. Until now, I have invited people with noble identities to the feast, so I was angry that I could not refuse only Tikatras.
So what surprised me more was the desire to stay in a deserted settlement.
It was not just about staying, it was an offer to wander around the forest from morning to evening, so I said it would not be so easy to forgive.
"But that's also what Platica and Rico forgave for." It must have been hard to refuse just Tikatras. ”
Ai Fa, returning from the consultations at the House of Ruu, spoke like that with a painful face.
Of course, we can't let people like Tikatras get out of the way. In order to heed his request, I decided to carefully convey the promise I had also made to Platica and Rico.
I. Understand all the laws around the forest and follow them.
1. You will never set foot in the woods, except in the settlements.
1. When visiting any settlement, first greet the head of the main house or a person in an equivalent position and obtain permission for sightseeing in the settlement.
In broad terms, these are the three points.
The moribund law is about what comes with punishment. Although there are no penalties for not unwelcomely praising the appearance of the opposite sex because it is within the scope of customs rather than laws. Besides that, there are various strict rules around the forest.
"If you step into the house without my family's permission, I will cut off your toes. If you see a naked heterosexual in your family, you'll wipe your eyeballs. If you take the blessing of the forest in your mouth, you will skin your head. If you wander the forestside without knowing those rules, you'll be the guest who sees the pain in your eyes."
It was Graf = Zaza who said so at the meeting. Of course, that would have been a word of hope for the guests to be safe - that Graph = Zaza's mouth made me wonder if the force was doubling.
In any case, Tikatras accepted all of our requests and agreed to stay in a forest-side settlement.
On the day after the Luu family dinner, the three chiefs were consulted, and on the next day, the reply was reported to Tikatras. So Tikatras pleasantly agreed on the spot and had already boarded the forest village that night.
"No, I really appreciate it!" I want to disturb Fa's house eventually, so please take care of the verses! "
Tikatras, who came to the stall, spoke like that with a smile on his face.
So Tikatras spent a few days at the edge of the forest before the joint harvest festival was held - surprisingly, he never visited Fa's house during that time. Tikatras first set up a bed in an uninhabited settlement in the northernmost part of the village, and began to measure the scores from the Zaza settlement.
"The people around the forest told me there was a big difference in their lives depending on their family!" I really want you to see all of it! ”
It was on the 25th of the month of ash that Tikatras entered the forest, and the next morning he had already begun to measure the settlement of Zaza.
Tikatras, who visited Zaza's village first thing in the morning, finally met Graf-Zaza, the last of the three chiefs, and admired his brave appearance and soul glow, before measuring every corner of the settlement.
So, if the men came to Jomtien and entered the forest, it was the basis of their schedule to let Totos run back to the station town, patrol the station town and the castle town after hungry at our stalls, and to go back to the forest side before nightfall and aim for an uninhabited village after dinner.
"After all, if you try the parents around the forest, you won't be able to settle down when you're not there!" I'm still in business, and I think I'll spend my days like this for a while! "
The vitality of Tikatras must not be thought to outweigh that of His Highness Dakarmas and Arvach. Well, maybe it wasn't a matter of vitality, but of moderation as an aristocrat - whatever it was, Tikatras literally ran around from morning to evening, trying to taste life not only around the forest, but all over Genos.
In the meantime, it was on the third day of Tikatras' stay that I received a few rare guests at my stall. Vermes and Gemdo sneaked in, hiding their faces in passenger hooded cloaks.
"At last, Lord Tikatras has earned the right to travel freely through the forestside villages." It's a job I can't do much for. "
Hermes, who spoke like that, didn't recognize her expression because she was covering her mouth with a wrap around her collar, but there was a very sharp light on her hazel eye.
“Well, Vermes is staying in Genos as a diplomat. Compared to Tikatras, who came to see things on the mountain, how can freedom of movement be restricted?”
"Yes, and I don't have as much strength as Lord Tikatras."...... Has Lord Tikatras already visited Fa's house? "
“No, I haven't invited you to Fa's house since the day you first came with the Vermes. Tikatras seems to be taking his samples from the north.”
”I see.... if so, I won't be so jealous.”
Looking at me like a maiden in love with Vermes, I could only deceive her by laughing "Ahahaha".
"But then... after all, Tikatras doesn't have a strong personal interest in Asta." That's not a mystery to me. "
"Well, I face each other like every day at the stall." If only my cooking could be mouth-watering, it would satisfy you for the time being. ”
“You mean you're only interested in cooking while discovering Asta's special origins? After all, I don't understand."
Well, that's what Vermes said, but I didn't really care. Hermes is intrigued by my intellectual curiosity. I interpreted it in that way that what was sought was different in Tikatras, which had a strong scholarly background and a strong artistic background.
◇
So the 29th day of the Ash Moon...
The fifth day after Tikatras stayed at the edge of the forest was the joint harvest festival of the six clans.
The Harvest Festival, originally scheduled for the middle of the Ash Moon, was driven to this point by the new method of hunting Giba. Since the last Harvest Festival, it has been held for the first time in more than nine months. Everyone who was gathered in the village of Fou felt a sense of joy.
"Moreover, this time, it is the partition of Tuul-Din!" My family is also very excited about how wonderful the food is! ”
That's how it was told by the Lido ladies who had been helping the stalls since ancient times as a partner of Toole-Din.
The Joint Harvest Festival is supposed to be carried around by six clans to play a partitioning role. In the first commemorative event, Fow, Rid for the second time, and Run for the third time, this time Din's house came around in turn.
"But, my face doesn't change when I prepare food, and I decided on the details of my offer around Asta, so I think there's something that might change for everyone..."
When Toole-Din answered in a frightened manner, the Lido ladies cheered up and said, "No!” he responded.
"I feel the same way, but this is the first harvest festival in nine months, and there hasn't been a big feast here lately!" I couldn't help but relax my family's expectations! "
The rest of Rid's crowd of ladies, who were eager to talk, had the same look on their faces. The fact that Tikatras was seated did not seem to cast a shadow over them.
(Well, inviting guests to the Harvest Festival has become quite a habit. Even if there is one crazy person mixed in, don't you care so much?)
At the harvest festival, which took place about nine months ago, a large number of guests were invited. At that time, most of the clans in the forestside were invited because there was a name that exemplified the Joint Harvest Festival. In addition, guests were also invited from the castle town and the station town, and the total number should have reached more than 50 people.
That's why this time, it has become a large group that is not the same as last time. Originally, it was planned to invite not only the young people of the station town headed by Yumi, but also the blood relatives of Zaza who wanted to see the harvest festival of the blood relatives, as well as the cooks of the castle town who wanted to see the cooking. It was joined by Tikatras' party and the nobles of Genos - and it was decided to accommodate Tikatras' individual requests.
"I don't care if this is really possible, but I want to face the faces that were in the puppet show!" As far as I can't help it, I'll take care of it! "
Tikatras was begging like that.
There were eight people from the forestside who had appeared in the puppet show and were still alive. I, Ei = Fa, Donda = Ru, Dan = Rutim, Dari = Souti, Yamil = Ray, Digar - and Shmiral = Lilin, who appeared as a people of the East. Of these, only Dan Rutim, Diga, and Schmiral-Lillin had yet to face Tikatras.
"If that's what Tikatras says, then I and Yamil will sit down!" At the last harvest festival, all the family members of the elderly muscles were ruined, and they were supposed to bite their throats! "
Yamil-Ray was also invited under the influence of Lau-Ray, who claimed to be like that. At the last Joint Harvest Festival, only the family members of the elders were invited, so Lau-Ray was always complaining.
In addition, Digga insisted that it was unbearable for him to go out on his own, and Dodd was also invited together. On this occasion, Gazlan-Rutim's opinion of having Tikatras face to face was raised, and the number of guests was added up.
But whatever happens, it's comforting to have more guests around the forest. So Eifa and the other parents accepted the offer happily.
In this way, we had to prepare the banquet dishes until Nakaten, where the power matching begins first.
Although she was sorry for what the Lido ladies said, she is more familiar with the partition of the feast than anyone else because she has a track record in the northern settlement. Under the direction of Tour-Din, we were forced to proceed with our work.
I, Yun-Sudra, and Ding's parents' companions were appointed as the team leader. Of course, Tuul-Din himself also assumes this role, so the six clans' Kamado number is divided into four groups. I had a mixed crowd of women from different clans, including Saris Run-Fow, a close friend of Eifa.
“The portrait of Ai-Fa, painted by an aristocrat named Tikatras, seems to have worked great. Having a child makes it difficult for me to take on work in a castle town... but I've become so careless that I can't see the portrait."
Saris Run-Fow said so, and Ai-Fa herself, who was standing by the wall, frowned, “What are you talking about?”
"No matter how well it works, the painting is nothing but a painting. Only weird people like Joe Run would be happy to see something like that.”
"Really? Yun-Sudra and Toor-Din also said that it was a brilliant performance... what did Asta think?"
"Yes, it was so stunning that it stuffed my chest.... what is it? Is falsehood a sin?"
Ai = Fa turns to her mute eyes, saying, "It's funny." Saris Run-Fow giggled at the figure.
"It looks like Eifa doesn't like to see herself. I wonder why you look so beautiful, even though you look just like your mother."
"Saris Lan-Fou is a mess, too." I'm not as modest as my mother, and hunters don't need modesty. ”
"Ei = Fa is so beautiful because of the kindness of May and Gil = Fa's bravery." I think that's something to be proud of. "
In response to the childhood anxiety, Ai-Fa stirred her golden brown head.
"More than that, be very careful with the nobility of Tikatras." And the wary servants. "
"But it's been almost a month since those aristocrats came to Genos." So I don't think there's any danger, because there's no disturbance. "
"... the fuss surrounding the portrait is the end of Saris Lan-Fou."
"Oh, I didn't mean to. I'm sorry if I made you feel uncomfortable."
Saris Lan-Fou's heartfelt apologetic face made Ai-Fa stir her head again in silence.
I'm sorry for Eifa, but it's a pleasant exchange for me. The other ladies were watching the two exchanges with warm eyes, mumbling their mouths.
The first signs of disturbance came when preparations were finished and full-scale cooking was about to begin.
"Hey, hey! Good work from this morning!" I can't wait to see how great the feast will be! ”
Eventually, under the guidance of Bardou-Fou, the culprit of the disturbance came among us.
"Oh, Ei = Fa was already involved!" It's as beautiful as ever! I'm looking forward to seeing how much skill you have compared to the power of a hunter! "
Ai = Fa took the trouble of opening his mouth and returned only the bow.
All the other women who see Tikatras for the first time bow right in the fold. Since Tikatras' rumors have been heard in the past month or so, he won't be disturbed by his insane appearance and behavior. After all, everyone seemed to be watching the behavior of Tikatras with cautious eyes.
"Thank you for your hard work, Tikatras." Last night, you were invited to dinner in Dana's village. ”
Yeah! It took me four days to finally conquer the five clans of Zaza's bloodline! I wonder how many days it would take to cover the 37 clans!
Tikatras laughed loudly as he deflected his stiff nose like Totos's beak. Degion, who had deposited his sword and entered, stumbled as gloomily as ever.
"So, is that enough?" Since Kamado has work to do, I think we'd like to deal with Jomtien. "
Tikatras left the room early due to Bardou-Fou's death.
And as soon as they had ceased to wander, they began to speak.
"That aristocrat is really walking around in a banquet costume!" I've heard rumors, but I didn't expect that! ”
"I've never seen such a gleaming fabric! The silver and the ornaments of the jewels were wonderful for us!”
"And the two squires!" It certainly feels as if it has the same power as a forest hunter! ”
There are many women who have never been to the castle. The aristocrats of Genos also dress up in exquisite clothes when they visit the forest, so it's probably the first time they've ever seen such a lavishly dressed person.
"But... that nobleman was definitely free like a child... but I'm sure he's not the only one."
Saris Lan-Fou spoke like that with a thoughtful face.
"I didn't think I was such a bad person... but I think I can understand Ai = Fa's words." I'm sorry I just said that lightly, Ai = Fa. "
"I don't apologize at all." But if that's what Saris Run-Fow thought, I don't think so. "
Ay = Fa replied in a low voice, staring at the doorboards that Tikatras had left.
After that, the sights of the castle town that wanted to cook arrived. Their faces were Princess Dershare, Pratica, Nicola, Roy, Siri = Rowe, and Bozul.
"Hey, thanks for inviting me today!" Many of you may have met before, but I will definitely not interfere with cooking, so please feel free to do so! "
Princess Dershare smiled as if she were yours. It was the first time in three and a half months that Princess Dershare had visited because she had been caught up in the riots of the Order of Evil Gods when she decided to study in Genos.
"It looks like Tikatra-sama is already here!" I envy you for revealing your night around the forest every day! Well then, we'll have two of us take a look so we don't get in the way, so I'll see you later! "
And then, Princess Dell Share leaves the room with a bouncing footsteps. And it came to pass, that Rode the Musketeer, and Bozzle pursued it. It seems that Bozur took care of Princess Dellshare because of the goodness of the same people in the south.
But whatsoever it may be, it is every time that these men shall be seen to prepare. Since Tikatras' first greeting, there has been no sign of us approaching, so we have been able to concentrate on our work without hesitation.
As time goes by, the table gets busier and busier. It was known that Tikatras would be visiting early in the morning, so the rest of the clan must have gathered early. Even so, when we were solemnly proceeding with our work, the next thing we came to say hello was the faces of the station town headed by Yumi.
"Good work, everyone! Thank you for inviting me today!" I won't let them do anything wrong, so please take care! "
Last time, Yumi and Terrier-Mass were invited alone, but this time Levi, Tara, Ben and Cargo were also added. Strictly speaking, Tara was a people of Dalaym, not a stronghold town, but she was invited to the harvest festival of Ruu, but she could not bear to exclude Tara, so she was specially asked to add it.
And the other person who stood up in a hurry was Via, who was going to work at the stall of [Xi Feng Pavilion] instead of Luia.
"This is going to annoy the people of Lan!" That's the last story, but I wanted to make sure there was no confusion, so I invited you to come to today's feast! "
She stole the copper coin that was sold from the stall, and wetted the orchid ladies. Still, it was due to the wishes of the women themselves of Lan that they were to continue to help the stalls, so it was certainly necessary to keep the bonds firm.
"I, thank you for allowing sinners like me to take my seat!" I'll squeeze myself out so as never to inconvenience you! "
Via, who was in a moderate stature, bowed deeply as her head seemed to be on her knees.
Of course, there was no one around the forest who looked at the people who had reflected -- but it would still take a lot of courage for Via to enter the forestside village. Moreover, she was a relative of Syl, Yumi's mother, and she had no relationship with Ben or Cargo, so it was even more so.
"Are you going to bow your head everywhere you go?" It's quite lawful, but there may be people here who are not from Lan's blood, so it's difficult to say hello. "
When Yumi smiled bitterly, Bia said, "No!” he raised his voice.
"Y-you 're the ones who allowed me to come here, so I can't help but bow my head!"
"It was the parents of the six families who allowed it. You don't have to bow your head to us."
Saris Run-Fow responded with a gentle voice.
“But everyone will want to make the right bond with you. Thank you very much, Via."
Yes, yes! Thank you very much!
Saris Lan-Fou smiled at Via, her face, and then turned to the other faces.
"The others also welcome to Fou's house. I'm sorry for the large number of visitors to the forest and castle town today.”
"That's not how we can apologize!"
"That's right! We're just invited as Yumi's bonus!"
As Ben and Cargo responded cheerfully, Saris Run-Fow smiled again.
"I am very happy to have you all here, because I rarely get to go down to the station town. Please enjoy the Harvest Festival."
"Ahh! I've been so excited since last night!"
We need to make sure that Yumi's future husband knows how good a hunter he is!
"Ugh, shut up! You guys must remember to snap!"
Ben and the others left the room, being dragged out by the red-faced Yumi. Because they were in the woods of crackling, they must have been a lot more exuberant. But I was lucky if I wasn't upset by the presence of the aristocrats headed by Tikatras.
(Well, Tikatras has a good reputation in the post town.)
As the square grew noisy, so did our work.
"There's only four more quarters of a minute to get to Jomtien." I like the kiri, so let's keep it that way for now. At this rate, you'll be able to complete it with loose ends. ”
"Yes, after all, Asta will take care of you, and you'll get along just fine."
Together with Saris Run-Fow's kind words, we decided to leave for a long time.
The square is already filled with people of different identities. Also, when Princess Dershare arrived, there should have been guards stationed around the village.
"Oh, Asta's done her work, too!" Just in time, come with Ei = Fa! "
And Tikatras waved his hand from a distant place, so I decided to move forward with Ei = Fa, who tightened his face.
In one corner of the square, people from the forestside are facing Tikatras' party. With that look on my face, I was convinced. They were all people who appeared in the puppet show.
"With this, there are a lot of characters in" Forest Side Kamadobe Asta "!" No, how emotional! "
"Hmph. I didn't participate in Donda = Luu for a while, but it's to give up my role to Ziza = Luu, so I can't help it."
Rau-Ray cheerfully struck a hammer. He's not in the puppet show, but he must be there for his important companions.
With the exception of Donda = Luu, there are seven characters - me, Ai = Fa, Dan = Rutim, Dali = Souti, Yamil = Ray, and Diga. Dodd looked worried, sneaking around behind Digg's back.
"Nevertheless, I can't believe that Yamil-Ray was Sun's eldest sister!" It was true that Rico's puppets had a demonic sign, but I was surprised by this! "
"Yea, the names of the sinners should not be spread against me, and the names of Yamil and Digga should be cast down."
"Yeah! I saw your Digga in Dom's village!" I didn't expect you to be the eldest brother of Sung who tried to impersonate Ei-Fa! "
"Oh, yeah. Back then, I was a really helpless crowd."
Digga replied, frowning in pain.
Dan-Rutim is watching the interaction as he blinks his fingers.
So? Has your curiosity been satisfied?
"Hmm! It's filled up!" You look like a puppet show! The fact that the Vichezos are so tied up makes them such a powerful hunter! ”
"It looks like you guys are really powerful." It won't reach me or Ei = Fa, but it's going to be a good match against Lau = Ray. "
"What, is that so?" Well then, I'd like to compare my spare strength to the opponent's! "
Rau-Ray's eyes glowed as he stepped out, and Vichezzo looked back at him with a dazzling burning gaze.
"Our mission is to protect Lord Tikatras." I will not imitate you in the course of your mission. ”
"With so many soldiers on board today, Vichezzo and the others should put their wings up!" If we had all these hunters in the first place, we wouldn't be able to get close to the outlaws. - If the hunters around the forest turned against us, would our lives be the light of the day? "
Having said that, Tikatras laughed happily.
"I'm sorry for Vichezo, but it's quite exciting to be exposed to unexpected forces!" I wonder if being on a ship struck by a storm would feel like this! No, there's nothing boring about the forest! Before the Harvest Festival started, my heart was raging! "
