Isekai Ryouridou - 1227 Previous day (3) ~ Unforeseen circumstances ~

Later, after searching the goods in the store, we decided to go back to the street.

Only Rudo = Ruu went shopping in this damn store. It seemed that there was no shortage of items in this store, but it was not surpassing the castle town of Genos.

“This next door will be a cupboard store.” The ceramic utensils are the pride of bananas, so I hope they can be used as glasses for the people around the forest. ”

With Alaut’s guidance, we stepped into the store next door.

Now, Luu’s bloodline and Soutie’s faces were shaking. We were strolling in five pairs, but in the second house, we had already met all our compatriots.

By the way, there are hunters in these two groups who are blessed with the physique of Ziza-Lou and Dalí-Sauthi, Gazlan-Rutim and Ji-Mahm, so they have attracted a lot of attention from the clerks and other customers. Still, there was no appearance of unwelcome vigilance because the people in Banam’s position acted as the guide.

“Oh my, wherever you go, you just look familiar.” Didn’t you say that other guests were wandering around the castle today? ”

When Rudo-Ruu spoke up like that, Alaout smiled, “That’s right.”

“I’m sure other guests are headed to shops for decorations and textiles. People on the edge of the forest seem to have different directions of interest.”

“Ah, I see. These people are only interested in pots and plates.”

If you say that, you hardly want to spend copper coins in such cases, because the men around the forest are unrelated to their lusts. Among them, it seemed that even Rudo-Lou, a kind of thoughtful class, had never used copper coins besides swords and cooking.

(At most, Shmiral-Lilin bought Vina-Lu-Lilin earrings. But that’s not the forest side, it’s Sims’ way of doing things.)

With such an uncontrollable thought in mind, I sampled the cupboards.

As Alaute had argued earlier, the crockery and cutlery seemed to be quite full. Various utensils are colored in different shades, such as plates, small pots, liquor cups, and pots. It seemed that the array of goods had not lost to the castle town of Genos.

(However, the people on the edge of the forest prefer rugged wooden utensils.)

When I looked around, a familiar face gathered in front of another cabinet. Ziza-Lou and Reina-Lou, the youngest sisters of Dari-Sauthi and Sauthi, and Merim. As I approached you, Sweety’s youngest sister gave me a lucid smile.

“Ah, Asta! It looks like we’ve gathered a lot of stuff in this cupboard that might suit our tastes!”

The cabinet contained a wooden cupboard.

However, it seems that wooden utensils are not mainstream in the castle town, which is a small scale compared to ceramic utensils. However, the quality of each product seemed high.

“Well, this is a bit different from Genos’s.”

The wooden utensils sold in the castle town of Genos are roughly carved. But the cupboards lined up on your shelves seemed to be more colourful than shaped. Simple shaped wooden utensils with subtle colors.

I took one of them in my hand while getting more interest than that.

What I got was a liquor box. It was lightly carved on the surface and colored from above. I chose it with a motif of flowers and grasses, and the red of the splendid petals reminiscent of Mizora and the green of the grasses contrasted well, and the whole was shining with a disgusting shine. It must have been painted with something like varnish for preservative treatment. In addition, the sculpture seemed to be of some use in sliding.

“That’s a good product, too.” Isn’t it a favorable pattern for the people on the edge of the forest? ”

Reina = Lou also said that with a smile on her face.

With that, I decide my mind and look back towards Ei = Fa.

“Hey, Ai = Fa. I need to talk to you about something…”

“Hmm? If you like something, do what you want.”… but isn’t there a shortage of drinks in the cup? ”

Ai = Fa has recently been less likely to consume plum fruit sake, but Fa’s house is stocked with cups to drink tea. In addition, in recent years, the opportunity to invite guests has increased, so we had plenty of spare liquor cups ready.

“Yes. Actually, I was thinking of buying some souvenirs for Yun-Sudra, who took on the stall’s steward role… I wonder if that would be in keeping with the customs of the forestside?”

Eifa’s eyes widened as she was poked into the void.

“I don’t really know about souvenirs, but… anyway, you mean you want to send me something to thank me for?” But didn’t we talk about giving Banam’s white fruit wine to the people who kept the stalls away? ”

“Yes. However, since Yun-Sudra is going through a lot of trouble, I wanted to give her something to thank her for.” Of course, if that doesn’t match the way we used to do around the forest, I’ll give up as well….. ”

Ai = Fa had a difficult face and thought, “Umu.”

“How did you know that?”…… Dalí = Souti, Ziza = Lou, I want you to show me the right path as a human being of the elders if you like ”

“I think I’m sticky, I don’t care.” It doesn’t make a big difference whether you send fruit wine or alcoholic beverages. ”

With a gentle expression, Dalí = Souti passed his gaze to Ziza = Lou.

Ziza = Luu, who caught it, looked at me and Ai = Fa with her thin eyes like a thread.

“… does souvenir mean buying a souvenir from a distant place and taking it home?”

“Yes, I think there is no mistake in that interpretation.”

“In that case, because we haven’t had a chance to have fun outside of Genos, there is no custom related to souvenirs.” I don’t think it would be a harmful act, and it should be left to the discretion of the individual first. ”

For the time being, it seems that no objection has been raised.

Then Ei = Fa opened his eyebrows and said, “I see.”

“In that case, do as you please.” It must be that much trouble for Yun-Sudra. ”

“Thank you! Then I’ll give you this drink!”

“Hmm. But does Yun-Sudra not have a liquor cup?”

“Yeah, I was talking about drinking alcohol and tea on a wooden plate at Sudra’s house.”

Then Ei = Fa’s eyebrows frowned again.

“The rest of the family rinses their liquor and tea on wooden plates, and Yun-Sudra is the only one who will use such a splendid liquor box. Then, won’t Yun-Sudra feel like she can’t collapse?”

“Oh, I see… I thought it was a good idea.”

“Hmm. If you’re going to buy a drink, you should buy it for your family.”

I didn’t think, “Huh?” and stared back at Ei = Fa’s face.

But Ei = Fa looks back at me strangely.

What? If the whole family were to use the liquor cup, Yun-Sudra wouldn’t have to feel her shoulders down.

Yeah, but Sudra has eleven family members now ─

“The twin babies are very old, so they will have a chance to drink water in a liquor bottle.”

“In that case, there are thirteen of them.” If I gave you so many drinks, wouldn’t you be surprised? ”

Eifa frowned and looked back at Dali-Sauthi and the others again.

Dalí-Saudi waved his hand cheerfully while remaining calm.

“No matter how many things you send, it’s the freedom of Fa’s house.” We don’t have to get our approval all the time. ”

“It’s a lie.”

“No, even if they say no… hmmm, is this something I’m not sure about?”

“I don’t know what you’re confused about, but your aim is to express your gratitude to Yun-Sudra.” I think Yun-Sudra would be very happy to be given a drink for her family…. or perhaps it will be too much tears of joy again. ”

Ei = Fa’s eyes, which spoke like that, blinked with great tenderness.

I’m sure that Ei = Fa was also deeply grateful to Yun = Sudra, and she wanted to do her best. By listening to Ei = Fa’s feelings, I was able to consolidate my feelings for buying a thirteen-person sake cup.

According to what the clerk said to the woman, there is enough stock left. And Alaout, who was looking to interact with us from afar, arranged for those items to be delivered to Banam Castle in the future.

“It’s nice to give a drink cup.” I think I’ll give Lara this wooden plate. ”

“Well then, let’s give Zwei = Rutim something too!” If it wasn’t for Reina’s sister, it would be very difficult to do business in the stall! ”

As a result, Reina-Lou and Limi-Lou also agreed to purchase wooden plates. Even Dalí-Sauthy began to search for shelves.

“I’m not in a position to give you a thank-you gift, but… maybe a memento will be useful for telling you this story for a long time”

“Oh, is it like the fangs, horns and bones of the Lord of the Forest?”

“Hmm. We should tell our children and grandchildren about the great work we did at Banam.”

It seems that such a story has spread, and other aspects have begun to sample the product with more enthusiasm than ever before. The people on the edge of the forest may have been able to acquire the concept of “souvenir of travel” for the first time here.

(Well, I don’t think we’ll have much chance to get out of Genos in the future… that’s why this is such a valuable opportunity.)

With that in mind, I decided to turn to my beloved parent again.

“Hey, would you like to buy us a plate for a souvenir, too?”

Ei = Fa smiled bitterly with somewhat ticklish expressions, and said, “Do as you please” to my head.

Then, Rimi-Lew, who was coloring the wooden dish, laughed at Ai-Fa with an innocent face.

“Hey! Wouldn’t it be nice if Ei = Fa bought something for Granny Ziba?”

Hmmm? Shouldn’t the family of Rimi = Luu buy such things?

“But I think Granny Zibba would be more pleased to receive it from Ei = Fa!” And why don’t you buy something for Saris Run-Fow and Aim-Fow too? ”

Ei = Fa was also absorbed in the heat.

This time, I will spend more time than before, buy each of the necessary items, and then leave the store. We also arranged for them to be delivered collectively to Banam Castle, so everyone was dressed casually.

“Now, let’s go to the leathermaking shop.” It’s not that far away, but please be careful not to get lost. ”

Me and Aifa, Rudo-Lou and Rimi-Lou, Rifreia, Sanjura and Chiffon-Cher, seven of whom are gathered under Alaut. It seems that the other members of the group have gathered with their respective guides to discuss their future journey.

With that, Ziza = Luu, who was close to the group, twitched and shook her shoulders.

”Hmm… I’m so worried about my gaze”

“Huh? Isn’t this all you can do?” Without the few people in the east who looked like us, we seem to stand out even more. ”

When Rudo-Ru responded in that way, Ziza-Ru shook his head with a small “no”.

“Not only the gaze of curiosity, but also the gaze of exploration. I felt the same gaze before I set foot in this shop.”

“Huh?” Rudo-Lou closed his eyelids after tilting his head.

Ei = Fa noticed this and stopped moving in a harsh manner. Then, she immediately exchanged eyes with Rudo = Lou, who opened her eyelids.

“Sure enough, there’s something strange about it.” Are we being watched by someone? ”

“No, I hadn’t felt such a gaze before.” This isn’t us, but Ziza = Luu and the others are watching, right? ”

Then Alaout, who was about to step into the street, said, “What’s wrong?” He called out to me in a daze.

“There are no outlaws in this castle town.” In addition, there should be no one who thinks of harming the people around the forest….. ”

“I don’t see any signs of harm. However, it seems that you are looking at our behavior with an unusual feeling.”

Ziza-Lou was not lost in her tone, and neither Ai-Fa nor Rud-Lou tried to deny it.

So, what do we do? Shall I find out?

“No. Your job is to protect Limi.” You shouldn’t leave your position bypassing your opponent’s intentions. ”

When Ziza-Lou answered in that way, she heard a muffled voice saying, “Oh, my God.”

“I just ran into you.” I wonder if Asta and the others have been watching the cookware? ”

It was a part of the [Guardian] that was invisible until now. Ziza = Luu, who turned back to you, looked around at “Hum” and the three Camua = Josh.

“Camua-Josh? Are you free now?”

“Yes, we just went to the guard lockdown.” This is where I go to the tavern at night, but there is no one in the castle town who drinks from the high sun like this. I’m returning to the guards to take a look at the recent situation around here. The bandits haven’t come close lately, and they seem to be very peaceful. ”

Camua-Josh smiled faintly as she sprang up like that.

“So, what happened to you?” It’s kind of a sword-swallowing atmosphere, isn’t it? ”

“It’s not like swordfish, but I’d like to ask for help if I can.” We’re being watched by someone, so we need you to find out who they are. ”

“Oh, I see. But I’m sure it’s not the feeling of doing bad things to the people around the forest.”

“After all, were you aware of it?”… can you ask for help? ”

“I understand.” I’m sure it’s for their own good. ”

It seemed that the two were communicating with each other in a way I didn’t understand.

Ziza = Luu nodded and turned to Alaout, who had a confused face.

“The person in charge of the Conductor was you.” Besides, you are also a family member of Wellhead, so I want you to have a desirable story. ”

“Oh, what kind of a story is that?” I don’t know why at all… ”

“I’m not sure yet.” But I’m sure you’ll need your discretion. ”

With those words, Ziza = Lou and the others began to walk the streets with the others. The same group, Dalí-Sauthi, smiled and continued. Reina-Lou and Sautti’s youngest sister seemed to be unaware of anything and told Merrim with pleasure.

“Now, can Late meet Ziza-Lou’s expectations?”

Camua-Josh looked back at the young disciple boy, smiling like a Cheshire cat. Late caught the master’s gaze with a gentle smile as usual.

“I have no idea what’s going on, but I just need to find out who’s watching the Luu family anyway.”

“Yeah, that’s right. It might be a little difficult with this crowd.”

Late looked toward Ziza = Luu and the others as they left, looking around at the clutter with her eyes alone.

And you can immediately flip your mouth.

“There was no difficulty. You still think I’m a lot of immature people.”

“That’s not true.” If this isn’t difficult, it means that Late has grown well above my expectations. ”

“So, what should I do?” Isn’t it better not to imitate it? ”

“Yeah. Maybe we should let Late go ahead and let us chase him.” If you try to pinch me, I’m sure you’ll lose the energy to escape. ”

“I understand,” said Late, and disappeared into the crowd.

Camua-Josh turns towards us with a satisfied smile.

“Well then, please join us, Lord Alaut.” Could you stop by that wall and move forward? ”

“Yes, yes, but I have a role as a guide…”

“So, can Asta and the others come with me?” Because you won’t be eating that much time. ”

Having said that, Camua-Josh quickly began to walk.

The alaud of the bewildered face and the other faces followed. As I went forward, I decided to question Zashma.

“Um, what are the Camuas doing?” It’s not going to be anything rough, is it? ”

“I don’t know.” The lack of explanation is mutual. ”

Zashma shrugged her shoulders with a bitter smile.

So when I turned towards Ei = Fa, the top of the Buddha was waiting for me.

“In the exchange between Ziza-Lou and Camua-Josh, rough calculations were made. But we should watch Ziza = Luu and the others’ deeds without saying anything.”

“I have no idea.” But, you don’t have to worry about what Ziza will do. ”

Rudo = Ruu is a face of someone else and draws the hand of her younger sister. And to the refreire, it seemed like she was abandoning her worries from the beginning.

“It looks like the people around the forest and the [Guardian] people are seeing something we don’t see.” If it’s Sanjura, can you guess what it is? ”

“No, I have no idea what you’re looking at.” However, the people around the forest, the people watching, I see. Right now, the shop of carpentry is too busy. ”

Sanjura’s words made me look around in a hurry.

We’re pulling in at the left end of the street. It seems that the shop of woodworking is about 7 or 8 meters away. It was a haunted figure wearing a hooded cape, like the people of the east, who passed by the place.

The Ziza-Roux and their party are just a few meters away. And when you were able to wave your progression by the human wall, the mysterious figure and meaningless stood still and lined up. It is true that this person has been hunting Ziza = Lou and the others.

“I see. He’s the culprit.” Northern Whirlwind Do I have my turn?

When Zashma called out in that way, Camua-Josh responded thoughtfully, “That’s right.”

“Well then, can you turn Zashma around from the side?” If they block the front and rear, they won’t be able to escape anymore. However, please don’t be such a rude copycat. ”

“Oh, you’re an amateur, by all accounts.” It’s too reckless to follow people around in the woods. ”

Zashma shrugged one shoulder, and then sank into a mess on the side.

Camouflage-Josh walks in the same vein, rises up and looks forward.

“Alright, it’s about time.” I’ll be waiting for you there, Master Alaout. ”

“Huh? Ah, hey–”

Camouflage-Josh drifted away from the panicked alaout. I’m trying to keep up with the mysterious figure by speeding up my pace.

We were also on a run with Alaout – before we caught up with Camouflage-Josh, the screams of a silky woman.

“Ka, Lord Camua-Josh!” What the hell is going on?! ”

We finally arrived after the crowd.

With a gray wall on his back, a person is walking into the street. Late, Camua-Josh, and Zashma surrounded the three sides.

“This is not good.” Asta, we will be walls, we will hide him. ”

And then Ei = Fa pulled my arm and stepped between Late and Zashma. Rud-Lou leaned his head and intervened between Zashma and Camua-Josh. This person was completely surrounded by the [Guardian] and the people near the forest.

“Please be quiet.” If you make a scene, you’ll be in a bad position, Princess Corfea. ”

And Camua-Josh called out in a faint voice.

The person who concealed himself in a hooded cloak was Coffey, who was planning a wedding with Wellhead tomorrow.

Then, when Korfia pushed herself down to the stone street, she fell into tears without a trace.

◇

Then we were to dance back to the first square.

There was a Totos car there for the transfer, so I decided to ask Cofia about the situation.

“I’m sorry… I didn’t follow the people around the forest with a sad feeling…”

Korfia cried red in her eyes and spoke like that in tears.

The five people listening to the words were me, Ai Fa, Ziza, Reina, and Alaut. The rest of them were waiting in separate Totos cars. I should have had nothing to do with Ei = Fa, but for now, it would be the closest thing to Welheid, so Ziza = Luu wanted to be present.

“So, why would Princess Corfea do such an imitation?” Isn’t it too dangerous for the lady princess Corfea to walk out of the castle town without taking her with her? ”

When Alaout questioned him like that with a bewildered look, Corfir fell even deeper.

“I… was hoping to have a chance to talk to Master Reina = Lu outside the castle… but I couldn’t tell anyone such a story… so I couldn’t help myself…”

“Oh, why couldn’t you tell anyone?” Besides, what are you talking to Reina = Luu about…? ”

Korfia gulps with grief.

Then Ziza-Lou spoke in a calm voice.

“Were you suspicious of Reina’s relationship with Wellhead?” If so, I will tell you here that it is a complete sadness. ”

“Huh? No way! Why should Princess Coffia suspect such a thing?” Princess Corfea will have a wedding with her brother tomorrow. ”

“Because… Master Wellheid was once inspired by Master Reina = Lu…?”

Korfia said that as she spilled new tears.

“That’s why Reina = Lou looks so beautiful… everything was the opposite of me… and I was struck by such a shallow feeling that Reina = Lou was going to take away Wellheid…”

Certainly, Korfia, who was tall and skinny and more or less mature, might have a face that contrasted with that of Reina = Lou. At the end of the day, she was as pale as a rarity for the people of the West.

However, sorrow is sorrowful nonetheless. Reina = Luu’s expression was so puzzled that she couldn’t beat Alaut.

“But I am a people by the forest, and Wellheid is an aristocrat of Banam. Isn’t it impossible for us to be bound together like that?”

“At first, I thought like that to control my anxiety… but… I’ve heard about Tikatras…”

“Ti, Tikatras? What does he say?”

“Tikatras-sama… on the day of the wedding, did he ask someone else’s bride to marry him…?” So when I heard the terrible story that the wedding had been canceled, I became… so worried… ”

Next to me, Ei = Fa sighed deeply.

Tikatras’ ruined behavior gave rise to the aftermath in this way. Even with me, I felt like I couldn’t keep my open mouth shut.

“I’ve heard from the messenger about Tikatras.” But… does that mean that he has welcomed a number of his wife-in-law without even welcoming her? It seems to me that it would be too unreasonable to question such a person and doubt your truth. ”

Alaout said so in a harsh voice.

A mixed expression of anger, sadness, and confusion appears on the childish face.

“You’re in a position to hold a wedding tomorrow, but don’t you trust your brother?” Is it possible for you to spend your life with your brother if you are not prepared to do so? ”

When Alaout says relentlessly, Korfir gets smaller and smaller and spills tears. And it came to pass, that he lifted up the voice of salvation, and Ziza = Luu.

“This Korfea will only disturb your heart if you come near it like that.” Shouldn’t we first calm our hearts and then let them talk to each other until they are convinced? ”

“But… how sad my brother would be if he told me such a story…”

Then, even Alaut’s face is down, and tears are floating under his eyes.

At that time, the door of the car was knocked on, making Corfir even more frightened.

“Excuse me. I’m Sphila-Zaza from Zaza’s house, can I have a word with you?”

Ei = Fa gazed at Ziza = Lu and then pushed the door open.

Outside the door stood Zaza’s sister and brother. Then, leaving Georg = Zaza on the front, only Sphila = Zaza got into the car.

“I’ve got a situation with Camua-Josh over there.” If the conversation had settled down, there would have been no curtain for me… but it seems that the conversation is not over. ”

Sphila-Zaza traversed the car with a strong footstep and broke her knee in front of Corfea.

“The Corfir of the Baron Ruamat family. I am the youngest sister of Zaza’s main house, and my name is Sphila = Zaza. Will you keep it a secret, because the story that we’re going to tell is a secret that only a handful of people in Genos have ever heard of?”

Kofia looked up at Sphila-Zaza’s face as she jerked off like a toddler.

Sphila = Zaza, with a very strict face, just had a very soft light on her eyes.

“I was once fascinated by a man named Laylis of the House of Count Satulas. And Laylis told me that she was also inspired by me… and that in the end, my brother and Laylis were making a fuss about sword battles.”

Corfeia trembled in amazement.

Sphila-Zaza repeats her words as she gazes quietly at the figure of Kofia.

“In the last two years or so, the people around the forest have finally been able to reconsider the family that has rightly tried to bond with the people from the outside world. We still don’t have the custom of being married to people from the outside world… and even on the side of the nobility, welcoming people from the forestside as companions is unacceptable. That’s why Reillys and I decided that we should abandon our thoughts. It was a painful act for me to tear myself apart… but over the years, I was finally free from the pain. I was finally able to reconnect with Laylis as a friend.”

“What… why are you telling me such a story…?”

“I was more or less able to understand Wellheid’s feelings.” I haven’t even talked to Wellhead yet… but I can tell at one glance. I think Wellhead and Laylis are very similar people. ”

While saying so, Sphila-Zaza gently took Coffia’s hand.

“If Wellhead had been impressed by Reina = Lou, he would have been as worried as Reillys. And as long as you don’t cut off that thought, you can’t think of a wedding with another human being. I don’t know how much Welheid used to think of Reina-Ru, but… whatever it is, you’re the only one Welheid looks at right now.”

“But… I’m such a strange person with no regard for anything like this…”

“You must be so anxious that you’re mouthing words like that. I think I can understand your anxiety. But then… shouldn’t you believe in Wellhead’s correctness, not your own?”

“Werheide-sama’s correctness…?”

“Wellhead chose you as his companion. Do you think that Wellhead is the kind of person who tries to hold a wedding without being sure of his feelings? Do you think he’s the kind of person who would call on the wedding to call on the remaining unskilled opponents? Do you think he’s such a vicious person who betrays and despairs his wedding partner? If you have such doubts, you should probably refuse such a wedding.”

Even with such harsh words, Sphila-Zaza’s gaze was gentle.

“You’re so worried that you’ve lost sight of Wellhead’s correctness. That’s why Wellhead’s younger brother, Alaout, looks so sad…. please, trust the correctness of Wellhead. I’m sure you’ll find the right way.”

Korfia hugged Sphila-Zaza with her face crushed.

Sphila = Zaza strokes Korfia’s back with her right hand, keeping her spine stretched. Surely Sphila-Zaza was younger, and there was a loving expression on her face that reminded her of her sister and mother.
