78. Story 2

"What do Sella and the others usually do?

"What, us?

When I heard that, I heard it as Serra seemed a little strange. Because I told you about the city I now live in. I don't think it's surprising to hear anything about the village where Serra lives...

"I told you earlier, so now I want to know what life Serra and the others are living in this village. Can't you?

"That's not true, but you haven't done much, have you?

"I don't think it's a big deal either..."

"Lena's story was very interesting. Because there were many things I didn't know. So it's no big deal to talk about Lena, is it? I'd rather compare our lives to Lena's..."

"You don't have to worry because I want to know how Serra and the others live."

"If that's the case..."

That's what Serra said and told me about what life is like in the village.

Basically, they farm. Otherwise, they say the man hunts and collects, the woman threads from cotton, makes cloth and eventually clothes.

In this time of year, the men go hunting and collecting because they can't farm. The women often make clothes and props. But the hunting of the men is not a real job, so the results aren't that good...

"If that's the case, is Sella making clothes or something?

"Well, is that what it looks like? Although it's more about making yarn and cloth."

"It is. So what does Sella do and play on days when she doesn't work?

"Do you want to go into the woods and pick up food and firewood?

"... is that going to play?

Looking for food and picking up firewood in the woods is probably your type of work though.

"Huh? So we can talk or something?

Does the story go into play? Well, is it going to be a break or something?

"Will it breathe?

"I see. Then what does Lena do to play?

It's me... What have you been playing with lately? And I've been thinking about that, but since I met Yua, I might be playing with that a lot? I thought. Shopping or hunting friendly. Oh, and maybe I'm playing more than I thought because I even played with the Lumias? And I thought that.... Speaking of which, Serra said she was in the woods collecting and picking up firewood or something, but if she did that with her friends, maybe she'd go in to play? and told Serra and the others what kind of play they had had with that in mind.

"Have you been playing with the kids a lot lately?

"What did you play with the kids?

"Sand games, snow games, maybe some more shopping for the deck?

"If other than shopping, have you ever played when you were little?

"Aren't you gonna play or something now?

"Yeah, I guess I haven't played with that lately because I've been helping my parents a lot"

"Really?"

Could the children of the village be workers? And I thought that.

"What does Lena do besides play with the kids?

"Uh, make something, take care of weapons or something?

"If that's the case, we'll do the same, so it's no different, right?

"Right."

Serra and Louis were saying that as they looked at each other.
