124 ⑥ Moribe Parents (Bottom)

Name:Isekai Ryouridou Author:Eda
"Too much wealth brings corruption to the woodland.... I don't even know what that idea is, but of course, with me, I didn't start this kind of thing to bring such things"

With all due respect, Ai-Fa speaks.

"I just wanted to bring a rich life to the woods. If the people, who were enriched by poverty, could live in abundance and gain further strength, they would also be able to carry out their work as hunters more than ever?

The head of the Zaza family rang his throat roughly, "Ha," and responded accordingly.

"I wonder about that. If you can get more copper coins than ever with one giva, you'll be able to live without hunting many giva. That's corrupt!

"But if you starve, you will hardly be able to fulfill your job as a hunter? Zaza, Gene, or a family as big as Dom's, still need a lot more richness for a small family without power."

"... If you can't have power, just decay into the woods. That's how we've honed our power as hunters."

And a low voice, it's been interrupting.

Until now, I have listened silently to the words of my compatriots, the big man in Giva's skull - a Dom family man.

"A weak hunter doesn't deserve to live. Only strong hunters live and leave strong blood behind. If a weak hunter leaves weak blood with useless wealth, it will bring doom to the woods"

"What is useless wealth? How can such a thing be decided by the rest of us when the price we get from fangs, horns and fur is useful and the price we get from meat is useless?

In the eyes of Ey-Fa, the blue flame loosens.

"The fangs, the horns, the fur, the flesh, it's all the wealth that comes from Giva. Can you explain what's the difference there, Dom's parents?

"... we have been changing our fangs, horns and furs to wealth for eighty years. That's the answer."

"Doesn't that just mean you didn't have the means to convert meat into wealth? I don't think it's the right way to get rid of the missouri wealth while gaining that means."

Ai-Fa softened his tone only slightly while also giving the brave Dom's parents an unbeatable temper.

"Dom's parents, I exchanged words last night with Ziba-Lou, the oldest man by the woods."

"... what's wrong with that, Fa's parents"

"I wondered. Human beings in town make their fortune with animal fur and meat, such as carons. But the people by the woods have taken only the fur of Gibba as their wealth, and the meat has been cast down into the woods. I wonder why."

I was listening to that story with you.

That's where we came to know the unknown history of the forest.

"The forefathers of the people by the woods who fumble Ziba-Lu once lived in the south woods of Jagal. In that forest, besides giant black monkeys eating humans, only about small snakes and lizards existed, he said. … and eating meat from black monkeys eating humans is considered a strong contraindication, and their ancestors have lived by eating snakes, lizards, bugs, etc."

"That much of the story is passed on to Dom as well. Still, the ancestors kept hunting black monkeys to protect themselves and their blood, and that's how they developed their power as hunters, I suppose?

"Exactly. And the forefathers peeled off the fur of the black monkeys, wrapped it around them, and began to show their pride. … that is why we only had the means to peel the fur and not the means to eat the meat the right way"

…………

"Eventually our ancestors moved from the south woods to this Morga woodland area, hunting for giva instead of black monkeys - and were allowed to eat that meat, but did not try to find the means to eat it the right way. Ziba-Lou said that just eating the meat of the beast made me happy and full"

"So what's wrong with that?... Then shouldn't we just eat meat enough too?

"That's not true.... I don't think so"

I'm sure Ai-Fa remembers what Ziba-Lou looked like last night.

With infinite sorrow and a strange look at Ziba-Lou, who shined a faint light of hope there.

"Ziba-Lou said it might have been our own laziness. He refused to interact with the people of the town, and spent eighty years trying not to solve the mystery of why only Giva's meat was worth being replaced by copper coins, - Ziba-Lou seemed very sorry."

"Why do you regret it? There is no need for the ancestors to repent. Because our ancestors showed us the way, we are now."

"So Ziba-Lou regretted that he could have shown a richer path than he does now. … and with its richness, the forefathers would not have had to lose their lives so much."

When we reached the woods at the foot of Morga, the number of the people numbered 1,000.

Half of them died in the first few years.

the struggle against the vicious Gibba, and, by hunger, is.

The anecdote, the night I first met Ziba-Lou, I hear it.

"The people in town probably knew how to eat meat right from the start. If the ancestors had correctly bonded without repelling the people of the town, they would have also been able to convert the meat of Giva into copper coins from the beginning. If the laziness that hasn't made that effort has led to the impoverishment of the woodland, which is still not uncommon to starve to death, it is our sin, Ziba-Lou said."

…………

"I can't assure you that Dom's parents are wrong in saying that too much wealth is corrupt. But I - believe in the possibility that too much wealth can also transform a weak people into a strong people - want to bring abundance to the woods."

That's how I-Fa looked at me.

"That may sound like too much of a story, but with the power of this Asta, I thought it might be possible.... Wasn't Asta's food delicious?

No one answers.

Still, Ai-Fa had a very calm eye and let her mouth down just a little.

"To me, it seemed very tasty. So I want to go down the path I believed in. … I would be happy if everyone would agree to that"

Shin - and the inside of the sacrificial hall was quiet.

Most humans would still be in the middle of a meal, but no one tries to move.

The Sung family, their families, the Lew family, their families - the women who took Kamado's turn, the heads of their little families - all whispered in strangeness.

And then the silence was broken.

"... Fou's House Endorses Fa's Parents"

Everyone looks back slowly.

One magnificent man stood in the corner of the sacrificial hall.

"Fow's house is a small family. few families, nor have they been able to hunt a sufficient number of givahs"

Dark hair, beard of the same color. He was a man of forty years, long but a lot thinner.

"I can eat meat, but I don't have enough fangs or horns. The toddler I was given was also about to starve to death. But with a little leeway for the men now, they wouldn't have even tormented their families so much."

In the darkness, blue eyes are burning.

Pride as a hunter and thoughtless thoughts swirl, a kind of gaze.

"I don't need the dust or anything in the stone capital. But if you can gain wealth from the giva you hunted with this hand, it seems like a legitimate price. If that gives us further strength, I swear to God, let us do our job as hunters more than ever.... So the House of Fou endorses the words of Fa's parents"

"... Ratz's house also endorses Fa's parents," the man who was now on the other side of it stood up.

He's still a young man who doesn't have to be 20.

"We've lost two families in the past year: May and Geem. Among them, Mae's parents in particular were brave hunters, but a bad breeze came in from a slight wound, got sick, and died quickly. … with a little build-up now, you could have bought medicine to cure your illness in Inn Town."

Those deeply angry eyes, as they devour, look at the head of the Dom family.

"If you obey the words of Dom's parents, Mae and Geem will be doomed. Because such words cannot be obeyed, the House of Rats endorses the words of the parents of Fa"

"Nothing absurds words that way. I'm not hoping that Dom's parents and his younger family will be destroyed."

and a new shadow rises again, with a squeamish voice.

It was a skinny old man with white hair like Ziba-Lu.

"The small clan, which has no ties to either Sung or Lu, totals more than 300. There are no humans who think that it's okay for all of them to die. Then it will be difficult to protect the West Capital."

"The elder of Sauti?... I don't think even you would approve of Fa's house?

The head of the Zaza family, who remained silent for a while, glimpses the old man with his eyes like fire.

"It's up to the parents to agree. However, for an old man like Non, the words of the oldest penetrate his heart in pain. If they go the wrong way, the young people will take an extra detour."

He was an old man with a much calmer eye for the forest folk.

Its soft eyes can be turned from Zaza's parents to me and Ai-Fa.

"And the men of the city absconded the men of the city, and the men of the city were absconded. It may have been an inescapable fate, but it cannot be said that it has fully fulfilled its efforts to combat that fate.... maybe the folks at Fa's house are trying to clear the way for us instead of such a bunch"

"What the hell can such an exotic do?!?

"We can connect the people of the Inn Town with the never-ending edge. People who can do that don't exist around the woods anymore."

Zaza's parents make him look so viciously at the old man.

"Are you willing to slander the chieftaincy muscles, not just the family of Lou, but even Sauti? It is Sung's house that connects the stone capital to the edge of the woods!

"Is Sung's house connected to the Castle of Genos? Castle people and town people, no.... and, with all due regret, the Sung family is not on the right edge with the people in town. I thought you were talking about my second brother pulling a knife out of town.

"That is because the people of the town defamed the people by the woods -!"

"Don't pay for slander with a knife," said Zaza's head of household.

I was surprised at how many other family members besides Lou's would complain to the Sung family so far.

The old man smiles quietly and looks at us again.

"An old man like Non has no power to dictate the way of Satti. But Non himself wants to bless the presence of your lords, parents and family of Fa's house."

"Then don't slap this and the extra mouth without the parents, Elder Moga."

And the young man, who was sitting in the place of the old man, rises up dauntlessly.

He was a young man of enormous magnitude and yet comparable style to Giza-Lou and Gazran-Rutim.

"From Sauti's parent, Dari-Sauti, I would like to ask you one question. What thoughts do you have on this matter, Mr. Donda-Lou, the head of Lou's family?

Donda-Lou, who had been so diligently silent, flickered at the young man.

"Rutim's parents called Fa a friend. But is it the women of Lou who are actually helping? So Rutim's long-lasting Lew also has Fa as his friend and like-minded?

"... I'm not calling these people friends"

With his bottom voice, Donda-Lou stood up loosely.

"Why do you have to call me by such a good name when you're a woman and you're a hunter and a stranger who doesn't know what to do?"

"Then why are you lending the women? Is the price simply the purpose?

Much like that, a young man named Dari-Sutty tilts his thick neck.

Donda-Lou said low, even as he glimpsed his paltry face.

"Giva's meat will be given as much value as it can be redeemed for copper coins - I don't think such a dream story will come true, and I don't think the town blubbers will change their minds. I'm just lending the women in exchange for a fair price."

"Right. Then..."

"But if such a dream story materializes, Moribe will gain further power."

Donda-Lou's heavy voice cut off the words of the young man as if it were a twilight.

Its eyes start to burn rotten, with an invincible grin on its mouth.

"Too much wealth corrupts the people by the forest.... There's no way that's ridiculous. I guess it's the ones who think that way that corrupt the woods."

"What...?," the men of Zaza and Gene began to colour at once.

"Zaza, Gene, do you guys, once you've got a hundred copper coins, fall in love with each other without hunting Giva until you've spent it all?

"Don't be ridiculous! How far are you willing to fool us, the head of the Lew family!

"If that's where you come to mind, that would be the answer itself, wouldn't it?

Donda-Lou is still laughing.

These days, I've seen a lot of difficult faces, but speaking of which, this is the kind of temperament this Mistress was shown.

Laughing, trying to intimidate and subdue his enemies, he is magnificent in the midst of a fiery fire.

"I didn't fool you. You were fooling us, Zaza's parents. Too much wealth, corrupt? Such a human being is not a hunter from the beginning! People like that don't deserve to live by the woods from the start!

"But......!

"If there's such a thing as corrupt people, all you have to do is banish them from the woods. Order by the woods is preserved there."

Donda-Lou twists his mouth in such a fun and irresistible way.

Of course, that would be a painful curse against the Sung family and a declaration of war word.

Without knowing that, Zaza's parents are listening to Donda-Lou's valve in a sinister shape.

"We don't need any more wealth in Lew's house. Rutim, Ray, that's the same thing.... But Lilyn and Mufa still don't have enough power. Without the help of his family, he could perish like Mae and Geem."

…………

"But in this one case, Lew gained further wealth. And because I lent the women to Fa's house, I was short of manpower to mow the fur, and I was able to share the fur with Lilyn and Mufa.... Is that what getting rich is all about, yeah, Zaza's parents?

…………

"The people of the woods have not yet gained enough richness to corrupt. Such worries are grandfathered after not a single person dies of hunger?

"Then again, don't you agree with Fa's house, Donda-Lou?

It was Dari-Sautti who came with his mouth like that.

Donda-Lou quenches his grin when he is a beast and smiles loudly.

"I told you? I can't believe that dream story."

"But..."

"But if it does, the people by the woods will gain further strength. … then there would be no reason to interrupt it?

"Oh man......" I heard a whispering, twinkling voice coming from the rear.

Stealing softly over there, Mother Meer Ray was smiling bitterly.

"You're a really solid parent," it says on its face.

"Hmm... that's an interesting story."

And - the creaking voice sounded on the spot, feeling a lot out of tune.

It is Zuro-Sung.

Donda-Lou sticks the hunter's gaze at you.

"But well...... we will still need time to make such a story happen. Shouldn't we loosen up and watch the situation now...?

What a loose statement between us.

Is that how you feel about this much incandescent debate?

Neither doctrine nor assertion can feel one thing.

"I don't give a shit. I never thought there'd be any other family in Lou's house."

and - from its inception, the prolonged Diga-Sung voice is also raised.

"The house of Fow and the house of Rats?... I think we should remember this guy, huh?

Those parents, still standing on the spot, even glimpsed Diga-Sung with shooting eyes.

In my chest, for the first time, the fury of anger burned, but I was not given the opportunity to be exposed.

A lower boiling point than I did, Mien said, "Hey!" and he raised his voice barely.

"What are your words, Sung's eldest brother! By the woods, there exists a code that says," Do not connect with the house of Fa "!? I don't care if you resent me, you bastard!

It is Dan-Rutim.

A thick blood vessel runs out on its bald head, and a flame of anger is spraying up all over it.

Yes - perhaps for the first time in two years now, the parents of the little family, who have so far fallen out of touch with the house of Fa by blinking the eyes of the Sung family, have attempted to flinch that action.

This fire must never be extinguished.

"Lower, what is a bastard? I don't remember you being such a bad boy, Rutim's head of household?

Still laughing naggingly, Diga-Sung's face was starting to pull off a lot.

The trauma of being thrown a 100-kilogram Giva may have come back to life.

So, sneaking around and observing what happened to the others - Zuro-Sung, as well as Zaza and even Gene's parents, had a bitter look on their face.

I guess Zulo-Sung simply didn't want us to have a wave of wind, but as far as Sung's family is concerned - whatever the conflict with the doctrinal claims, I guess he won't be willing to defend even Diga-Sung's former vices.

Maybe they, like Donda-Lou, abhor the eye-fa of naming hunters on the women's bodies.

Besides, in terms of too much wealth, I guess they're against it head-on, based on their own thoughts.

But even if I try to make them worship the chieftaincy muscle, such as the evil deeds of Diga-Sun, who tried to ride home without permission on that night when Ai-Fa lost his father, it should be an act of speech and morality.

There, but Diga-Sun has no idea.

While wielding his authority as a chieftaincy muscle, he hasn't been able to draw that line on what is allowed and what isn't, this man.

So - I guess it's a trinket.

(Maybe we should just wait for the day when the chief's seat is taken over from Zulo-Sung to this Diga-Sung?

Even that idea makes me freshly thought of.

If this Diga-Sun becomes the head of the family and the chief, he will probably not go far and lose the trust of Dom and Zaza.

That way, Donda-Lou doesn't have to stir up a knife, me and others don't have to stir up bad wisdom, and I'm sure the Sung family will disintegrate on their own.

(What a passive measure, but in a way, that's probably number one, a peaceful solution...)

In the meantime, Zulo-Sung, where he is the current chief, sees Dan-Rutim better when he even says "so-so".

"... it's not that absurd a voice, Rutim's parents... does your lord keep out what he did two years ago? I wouldn't bother steaming back old stories like that......?

"Then keep that impossible son's mouth stitched together! Just listening, bug spit runs!

Dan-Rutim rewinds some rags and lets his right hand wander downward like a half unconscious.

When I snuck my own wooden dish over there, Dan-Rutim grabbed the meat with the utmost accuracy, even flirting with the Sung family.

You said what you wanted to say on my behalf, thank you at least.

"... not worthy of remembering, such as the names of Fou and Rats. If you remember, remember Sudra's name."

And a shady voice went up from somewhere.

At the end of the lower seat, furthest from the Sung family, a less significant man rises.

"Sudra's house also endorses the head of Fa's house.... even Sudra's house needs a little richness now"

Then the man rises even from a slightly distant position.

"... Gaz's house also endorses Fa's parents. Giva's meat is delicious and tasteless. At first I had no idea what you were talking about, but I ate this Giva's meat and changed my mind. … This would also make it possible for people in town to offer copper coins"

If so - and there were signs of trying to follow it everywhere, but it was held back by Zulo-Sung's few voices lacking restraint.

"Wait, chiefs of the family... nothing. I don't think we should decide on the conduct of Fa's house on this occasion... As I said earlier, Fa's house action will take a lot of time to bear fruit or not... now we should loosen up and watch the situation...?

"So you're saying that the chief is not going to disagree with Fa's house behavior at this stage, either?

It was Dari-Sutty who said the words like that.

"But it's the parents of the Sung family Zaza and Dom who are disputing it, but what do you think around there?

"Whatever Zaza and Dom's parents say seems legitimate, and I, myself, can't ignore the risk of too much wealth... But, as Luu's parents say, giving Giva's meat its value as a copper coin, etc. would also be an uninterrupted dream story... with such a trivial matter, I don't think it is necessary for our fellow forest brethren to contend with each other..."

That's how Zulo-Sung turned his greasy gaze at Zaza's parents, who stood still.

"Dear family, Gene and Dom's parents to Zaza... could you spare my face here and put the spear away? … whether the house of Pha brings decadence or prosperity, or if we see it as the only way to disrupt the order by the forest…"

"... as the chief intended," he said in a voice that killed his emotions, and Zaza's parents lowered their hips.

After seeing that look, Donda-Lou also lowers his back.

Fou, Ratz, Sudra, Gaz - and when Sautti's parents and elders followed suit, there was a sort of white atmosphere around.

"… there will be some results at the next Parents' Meeting… Until then, you can encourage them according to your own wishes, it will be your turn to the head of Fa's house…"

Ai-Fa returned the courtesy with a face he had taken.

"Hey... what the hell is this about...?

And, Vina-Lou sneaks up on me by the T-shirt.

"Then in the end, you haven't solved anything...?

"Um, what do you think? … On the contrary, we may be able to say that everything is solved."

If you say so, this is like getting inked by the Sung family of the chieftaincy muscle saying, "Do whatever you want for a while".

If this happens, I won't be able to complain to horrible people like Zaza and Dom anymore. Unless, at least, it's also shown in concrete examples that our actions have resulted in corruption.

I'm talking about how I can be forgiven so carelessly.

(Really...... is this guy named Zulo-Sung so thoroughly opportunistic?

I would have liked to have taken a majority anyway.

Four families, such as Fou and Ratz, have shown their approval, but there are 37 family heads here, including the Sung family. How many of them make me or Ai-Fa determined, as far as we're concerned, is like putting all the circumstances in place to identify it.

Yet the conclusion is - "Let's wait for next year".

Incomplete combustion is also a good place.

Can such an intense shoulder watermark exist?

Donda-Lou has a grumpy face and fruit liquor.

Dan-Rutim also grabs a white bone with a very boring looking face.

If I had to, I would have consolidated my readiness to take it to rough business.

Above all, it didn't get rough, but now I have no place to take my fist.

(Perhaps you only offered me a number to tease Mida-Sung... is that possible?

Yamil-Sung was emitting poison gas that seemed like he was up to something, but this guy named Zulo-Sung can't feel anything.

Dull, lazy, and apathetic.

A throwing attitude that doesn't matter after, as long as you can keep your peace at the moment.

Is this what Zulo-Sung is all about?

(Actually, Yamil-Sung is the mastermind of it all, or...? No, having done so, nothing will be able to move the situation forward once the Conference of Parents is over as it is. If this disturbs our business around Diga-Sung or Dodd-Sung, it will only result in defying the chief's decision... what the hell is this?

Zuro-Sung is even laughing to his utmost satisfaction.

Diga-Sung has a slightly fuzzy look.

Dodd-Sung keeps his liquor silent.

Are we - or have I just taken the liberty of estimating my enemies to a large extent?

If you open the lid, like the Sung family, which group of little villains was it?

I don't know.

I don't know, but - after all, there was no turmoil, and measly the dinner ended.

At the same time, the end of the Conference of Parents was declared, and the Sung people go home. Parents are sleeping in the middle of nowhere.

All we have to do is get through this night and we can return to our nostalgic home.

(... of course, I can't let it end like this)

I sneak around thinking while I clean up after supper.

Even a bunch of little villains can't leave the Sung family alone.

If you let Diga-Sung carry on the trail, you will destroy yourself on your own - even though it seems like you can't wait five or ten years for that.

Because this is no longer just a matter of fa or luu.

People like Milan-Math, Dora's father, and Yumi are all whirling in my head.

Even if you can trust me or the people beside me, you can't allow the people by the woods themselves to exist - that's their common perception.

As long as there is a man who has forgotten his pride as a people by the woods, it is impossible to know with the people of Genos in the true sense.

And we got acquainted with the people of Sung's division here.

I had rotten fishy eyes, those women.

I can't even leave them alone.

Even where this evening has been successfully concluded, the problem is still piling up.

(Well, it's all after tomorrow...)

That's what I was thinking.

Swallow, that's how I was thinking.

This is going to be a completely consequential theory.

The real scourge in Sung's settlement is that it is only this night that he has stripped his fangs at once.
