Eleven Stories Reception I

The reception starts after noon.

Essentially, it's a very late hour for a village event where the festival starts in the morning.

This comes from the fact that marriage unites two houses and one house is newly interested.

The attributes of the goddess who presides over the abundance are night, moon, and at the same time mother.

So it was thought that when we started in the hours of not much sunrise, the goddess would not grant us blessings.

On the day of the reception, the brides and grooms receive visitors in a house already prepared.

Age and Tania were now also opponents of the next to come visitors, sitting in their own chairs, facing the table.

Originally Tania, a more beautiful woman, today she was polished for a time and its beauty.

Adequate sleep and nourishment, and above all, the exhilaration, the feeling of happiness of having a reception, coloured her beautifully.

He stares at Age lovingly, hitting the gavel of his visitors from time to time, reddening his cheeks and nodding his eyes.

There was always a smile on his face and he seemed to have a lot of fun with one of his visitors' stories, and I could see he was sincerely happy with this moment.

My wife is beautiful.

One of the men I visited, another and Tania, blinded me, blessed Age but seeped slightly jealousy that it was such a happy thing to welcome such a beautiful wife.

That attitude pleases Tania even more.

"Hehe, you were jealous of those people, Mr. Age"

"That's right. If I were single and my approximate husband was beautiful like Tania, I would have thought you'd regret it."

"Oh, I'm glad... you can't say that to someone else, can you?

"If you don't say so."

Tania gives me the nail laughing at Nico, but as an age, I have nothing to worry about.

I didn't think there were any other attractive women who really loved me.

It's rude to say this directly to Tania, but I'm sure this beautiful woman doesn't have eyes for a little while.

When Age thought about it, two of her neighbors, Mike and Jane, visited.

"Oh, you look more and more different in a beautiful costume!

"Jane, and Mike too..."

"Ooh, congratulations. Congratulations, Tania."

"Thank you. Mr. Jane, Mr. Mike"

These two celebrated a great deal when Age and Tania got married, but they seemed to celebrate this opportunity once again.

He holds a handmade coat of fine deer fur and beautifully tanned leather sandals.

"You'll be busy today, but hang on, Age"

"I'm not trying, Mr. Age! Show the other villagers that the village of Siena is a good place!

"Yep. Thank you for such a lovely thing. Let me use it firmly."

"What, tannin tanning is what you taught me."

"I just gave you a little advice, and in the end, Mr. Mike made it all up from scratch,"

Small village hunters often handle the processing of skins at the same time.

Skin processing methods include brain plasma tanning, tannin tanning, and chromium tanning.

Age had a strong interest in tannin tanning when I told her.

In the end, I fear the exploratory mind because I have tried most of the plants surrounding the village of Siena and established a method of tannin tanning.

To Age's heartfelt praise, Mike smiled to his face.

I guess I'm not used to being complimented just because they usually say I'm stupid or short-circuited.

And I was so fun to bicker about, but Mike accidentally changed his expression.

When I see Jane and Tania talking sideways, I get cautious and deep and lurk my voice.

"I'm calling people from outside the village this time, but is there anything about Age inviting someone to the blacksmith?

"No, there isn't. Is there something wrong?

"No, not yet. But there's a guy wandering unnaturally through the village."

"Are you saying that's our purpose?"

It's the kind of technology that the lord Nazioni would welcome into his kin.

I want to steal that technology if possible.

Even if that's not possible, it's not necessarily that there are no indecent people who want to take home one sight or even one of the pieces they're putting away.

I don't think this is the kind of place to celebrate, but I guess those who are fierce in the spirit of thieves don't choose the time and the case.

Totally annoying.

Age was unwittingly biting her back teeth, while being careful not to get her expression tough.

and the sound of the toothpick is slight.

"Is anyone patrolling?

"Oh. No one would do anything to sneak in where people's eyes are, but the problem is we're in the middle of a reception"

"There may be people sitting in the middle or people who are originally gathered but do not participate"

"You're drunk, you're ill, it's easy to get out for a reason."

Originally, it is not an elegant seat, such as sitting firmly in a seat and waiting for progress, as it is in modern times.

At first there were some indispensable steps, such as speeches, but in the second half, like a standing party, it was a form of gathering as much as I liked, drinking as I liked and making noise.

And yet, you won't pay attention to anyone who gets out.

"I'll ask Pietro to take a look at the blacksmith, even if it's only on the way"

"That's better. I'll ask Filippo and Fernando, too."

"Please"

As he sank his voice and consulted with Hisohiso, Tania and Jane turned a strange eye to him.

Age laughs and deludes. Apparently, he wasn't seriously suspicious.

Communicate with Mike with your gaze.

Please do something to deceive me. I can't do this, you're the one who misled me.

Are you hiding something from Atashi or Tania?

"That's not what I'm saying. It's just that men have stories about each other. Hey, Mr. Mike."

"Oops. That's right. What I can't hear is wild."

More than that, Age desperately began to deny it because she suspected that she was also malicious of something.

Of course, revealing everything would be one of the right things to do.

But I want Tania to have this fun a little longer.

With that in mind, it wasn't something that could be very revealing.

"Damn, because this is how masterful a man is at all times. Tania needs to hold on tight."

"Yes, I'll be very careful not to let Mr. Age remember to play badly"

I guess a man's piercing is something he shouldn't have done from his wife.

Agie had to laugh at Tahaha, bitterly.

Villagers with whom Mike, Fernando, Filippo and Age were associated also came, as well as villagers who don't usually face each other very well again.

It is surprisingly tiring to take some time to thank each of them politely.

Age cared for Tania as she moistened her throat with grape juice.

"Mr. Tania, people are coming next, are you tired?

"It's all right at all. Most of them just look familiar. Aren't you tired of dealing with people who don't normally look at each other better than I am?

"No, it's still okay"

Though it has been several years since Age came to the village, it cannot be said that he is still close to distant humans.

Sometimes I was a person who originally came from outside the village, and I was reluctant to go out with him.

But I can't shy away from all this today.

It would be the groom's job to be blessed and pleased.

"The guests outside the village are not here yet."

"Age, I think those people will be putting it together at the end"

"Oh, really?

"Yes, because it is up to every village to bless them first from those close to them"

"You don't know any of these customs."

"Mr. Age is strange, isn't he? I can't believe you know a lot of things we don't, but you have no idea the other way around."

Tania laughs strangely.

What kind of emotion would Tania have if she came to Japan?

Surprise or delight? Or maybe you're afraid of too much progress in civilization.

It seemed difficult to understand and familiarize ourselves with the customs of this island only in an environment that was born and raised in a completely different place.

Thus, roughly the blessings of the people of the village were ended and the outside world began to visit.

Zilva, acting village chief of the beginning village (Qwara), was the first visitor.

He was a tall, eye-catching, crisp man of movement.

When I visited the Ages' house, I gently let my gaze wander around to see if anyone else was there.

I had a brooch on hand that exquisitely carved shellfish, and that was the object of this celebration.

Gold was used on the edge of the brooch, beautifully mirrored and glowing.

And the pattern carved into the bright white brooch looks a lot like Age and Tania.

"Congratulations on your marriage, Age and Tania"

"Thank you. We had a very wonderful celebration."

"I let a sculptor with the best arms make it even in Qwara."

"May I ask how you found out about our faces?

"Of course it is. This time, when I heard about the marriage between the two, I immediately asked the face of a trader who had visited the village of Siena. Fortunately, he remembered your faces well, so he carved the rest based on that sketch."

I see.

Wouldn't that be surprising?

But imagining an approximate person's face just by listening would be a very advanced technique.

The creation of sketches of police culprits and the like also often diverge greatly from the real thing.

The brooch I received was clearly made to the extent that I could tell that it would be Age and Tania, even if it could not be said exactly as such.

By the way, this brooch, every one of the craftsmen, was handmade, and it took a lot of production time, so it seemed worth it.

It's worth a little confusing to give back normally.

How the hell is it best to give it back?

As a blacksmith, when Age thought that it might be best to make some tools and repay her, Zilva stuck her expression and bowed her head deeply.

"Actually, I'd like the lord to remember Age well enough to save our village"
