820 Twenty-two Days of the Purple Moon ⑥ ~ Encounter ~

We stopped by Luu's settlement on the way and said hello to Donda-Lu, and then we were set to go for the house of Zaifa.

Of the two luggage cars, the faces on one side are not helpful, so we go straight back to their respective homes. Lyelfam-Sudra also switched to your luggage at the Lou family, and only me and Ai-Fa and Yun-Sudra, as well as Pinot and Lolo, were heading to Fa's house.

When I get my luggage on the premises of Fa's house, I see some shadows in front of the house. Shadows, and the shadows of the dogs. As we approached the luggage car that way, the dogs who were interested in the chase lined up sloppily in front of the front door.

"We're back. You've been away a long time."

When Ai-Fa descends from the throne, three dogs arrive joyfully and courageously. Ai-Fa knelt down and stroked his head in turn.

We stayed at the Dora's last night, so it's been over a day since we've been home. The way the dogs waved their tails showed the degree of joy as it were.

"Good day, Ai-Fa. How was Inn Town?

One of the women who held back in front of the house smiles at me like that. It was Sallis Run-Fou, a childhood tamer of I-Fa. And the other, young but married women, are holding back, and the others are young boys and girls headed by Aim-Fou. They sent the braves they were keeping to Fa's house and they came to see us.

"The Inn Town was busier than it was last year. I hope you're looking forward to your next holiday."

"Yeah, everyone else in the family is looking forward to it."

Fou's blood also rotates with the people who stay in the house and those who go down to the lodging town. Especially this time there was also the job of "Gibba's Round Grill," so there should have been only one human being who was completely free to count.

"Well, we're finally going to meet."

I put the black cat on my shoulder. As I tried to get off the carrier, Ai-Fa shouted sharply, "Wait."

Then, align the three families once again and stand in the same position that Ai-Fa defends it.

"All right. You're going down slowly. If he seems to make any disturbing moves, I'll do whatever I can to stop him."

"Yeah. Copy that."

It was time for me to get down to the ground so I wouldn't irritate the black cat.

Brave, Zilbe and Durmour three heads are watching me with a decent eye. And it was still the Sarris Run-Fowe and the others who looked more strange than that.

"What is that beast? I've never seen him before."

"This is Sim's catty beast. So I'm supposed to keep it at Fa's house... but in the meantime, neither faction seems excited."

"Don't get distracted. There's only one thing he can't be fooled about."

I broke my knee about two meters from the Braves.

The gaze is the same height and the black cats and dogs are relative from the front.

The dogs remained decent, and the black cat - with an acquaintance - had a big yawn.

"Those dogs look like they're being followed. I don't think you're going to wake up."

And I hear Pinot from the carrier.

Then Sarris Run-Fowe and the others raised their surprise this time.

"A, Asta, who are you...?

"Oh, I'm late for your introduction. This is Pinot and Rollo, a sitter from Gamray. You know Gamray's Seat, don't you?

"A Seat of Gamleys" … Oh, the hunters of the Lew family and those who went into the woods and caught the young Gibba "

After all, Pinot seems more surprising to the Sallis Run-Fou's than the Black Cats. Speaking of toddlers at all, he compares the appearance of a black cat and a pinot in the face of intrigue.

"The Pinots have come out to say hello to Tia. Is Tia in training?

"Yes, by the kamado cabin, you should be doing a tree climb. Shall I call you over here?

"No, I'm going out of here, so I won't....... I = fa, what about the Braves?

Ai-Fa, who stood up with a tough face, nodded deeply thinking, "Uhm..."

"More than originally, Brave and Durmore will not strike the beast without my command. And Zilbe would never... strip his fangs of something without hostility."

"Yeah. You'll have a lot of opportunities to leave a message with me, so you're just wondering how it goes with Zilbe."

I stood on my knees and approached Zilbe slightly.

But the reaction of both names remains unchanged. More than that, Zilbe looked like he was nodding because he wanted to jump on me.

"Ey-fa, can I have a little black cat, please?

I handed the black cat to Ai-Fa and made him give Zilbe his hand.

"Come, Zilbe"

"Ugh!" and barked cheerfully, then Zilbe jumped at me.

Zilbe is a bigger dog with more weight than I am, but I know how to apply and subtract power when screwing humans. I stroked Zilbe's nose around my chest without getting knocked down.

"Okay, okay, you're a good boy.... How's the black cat reacting?

"You're indifferent. There seems to be no interest in Zilbe and the others."

Much dissatisfied, Ey-Fa said.

Sure enough, the Black Cat is watching over us because we're not interested.

"In the meantime, so far, so good, huh? Well, why don't we put it in the house?"

Gathering people's gaze, we tried to make our way to the front door of Fa's house.

There, Pinot catches up.

"Asta, you forgot this guy."

It was a wooden plate that was left in the trunk. It is a toilet for black cats, entrusted by Pinot yesterday.

Put new sand on that plate and then open the doorboards of the various doorways.

Then - the black cat stepped down from the hands of Ey-Fa to the floor of the hall.

I thought I'd circled the hall that way, stopping under the window between the walls, getting round. At the Dora family last night, he didn't show up.

"Hmm. I wonder if you sensed that this is our home because of the smell or something"

"... is this guy a beast who spends time on the floor, not in the dirt?

To Ey-Fa's question, Pinot said, "Huh?" He shrugged his shoulders.

"Unfortunately, I've never had a cat before. If the soles of your feet aren't dirty, could they be on the floor?

"This one was always on our shoulders, so there's no reason for the soles of our feet to get dirty"

After all, Ai-Fa was a somewhat disgruntled face.

Well, since the first black cat to visit Fa's house started sleeping on our faces, I guess it's in the mood to preach courtesy as an eye-fa. But as far as I'm concerned, it was always a cat-like feeling.

"In the meantime, shall we leave it at ease now? We're not the same body."

I left a wooden dish for the bathroom in the dirt and let me close the front door.

There's no way the black cat's coming after me. Does it embody the adage that dogs do to people, cats do to homes? Then it might have been as easy as it was to handle.

"Now, if you'll excuse us. I = fa, see you tomorrow"

Sarris Run-Fou and the others left Fa's house on foot.

I'll drop that back off and then I'll turn back to Pinot.

"Thank you for waiting. Now let me introduce Tia. … Ah, Tia is the name of the people of the Great God we keep"

"Yes. Nice to meet you."

Pinot was waving a groom and a shaker.

Lolo, who is swimming his gaze properly, and Yun-Sudra, who kept Gilr's reins, also take him for the cabin behind the motherhouse. Kamado cabins should have gathered Kamado numbers from different families to encourage you to do your job.

"Then Asta will accompany the Pinots, as I will see how everyone is doing. If anything happens, I'll call you right away."

Yun-Sudra left his mind to go to the cabin alone.

Tie Gill's reins freed from the luggage car to the nearby tree branches before Ai-Fa circles his gaze overhead.

"Tia, there are people who want to draw on you, whether you're in training or not. I want you to show yourself here."

Then, from the edge of the tall tree, Tia's voice responded.

"Can I show myself? Is that a man in town?

"Mm-hmm. Donda-Lou's acknowledgment. As always, exchange words according to your laws and codes."

When I wondered if the retreat and periphery rocked, Tia's figure popped out of it.

From a height of about three meters, it flutters down in front of us. To that appearance, Lolo gave a barbaric voice, "Whoa," he said.

"Shh, you're so light. It's like, Zetta. That's the people of the Great God."

Zetta is a sitter of "A Seat of Gamleys" and a mysterious being with the alias "Son of Man and the Beast".

Without even putting Lolo's surprise or anything on his teeth, Tia watched the Pinots with the usual innocent eyes.

"To Tia, what are we talking about? Tia was more of a trainer."

"Ah, I'm sorry I've been busy. Atashi belongs to a tourist. Pinot is a monster. The thing about Koch is that he's a monster with an athlete."

Pinot stares back at Tia wholeheartedly as she twinkles her black eyes.

In Pinot's eyes, I wonder how this tier looks.

The back length is about slightly smaller than the pinot. It looks younger than the age of twelve, and the torso and limbs are thinner. But that little body has a vital force that no hunter by the woods can beat.

Hair and skin are dyed dull reddish brown, and the eyes have a brighter garnet glow than that. The cheeks, the back of the hands and the back of the feet are engraved with a whirlpool pattern indicating that they are the people of the Great God, with a small nose, a large mouth and a quite adorable face. Still, it was the timeless outfit of the piece bought in town.

But after all, no one would mistake Tia for someone in town. Even I, over time, can hardly get used to Tia's vivid vitality and animal-meted innocence. More than the people of the woods, Tia was a wild soul.

"Ugh... the people of the Great God deserve you."

Eventually Pinot said so in a smudged tone.

"Atashi has run into a wild silver lion in the mountains before... and you'll feel unbeatable divinity"

"I don't know, what are you doing with Tia? Tia can't be friends or brothers with people in town."

After saying it that way, Tia stared at Pinot to eat in.

"It's just... you're in strange air. It's kind of a strange air, unlike people in town and people by the woods."

"Well, technically, Atashi can't name the people in town."

That said, Pinot hung up his red lips.

"Atashi and Lolo over here flow from town to town, the traveler is on him. However, even if you take root grass like that, it doesn't concern you, the people of the Great God."

"Uhm. You seem like a strange person, but you're not Tia's compatriot. Then it's just like the people in town."

After saying it that way, Tia let down her mouth on the lid.

"But I don't hate you. Not as good as the folks by the woods, but something... feels a little like the Tiers"

"It's an honor. And what a lovely face to laugh at. That's your face like a wild silver lion laughed."

Pinot narrowed his eyes inadvertently and wandered his long knitted three-knit brunette.

"You're going back to the mountains, aren't you? If not, but I'd like to take him home... but I'm sure Soitz is serious about trying to bring back a silver lion who grew up in the wild."

"I don't know, Tia is the son of the Great God. You can't live off the sanctuary."

"Ah, I know a lot about you. If you leave the sanctuary anyway, you'll be a normal person, too. What's wrong with wanting to get you now?"

Pinot was still a more childish face than usual.

Next to it, Lolo stares at Tia.

"Ma, just chatting like this is a perfect luxury for Atashi. Thank you Asta, Ai-Fa."

"No, it's outrageous.... Speaking of which, there was one thing I wanted to tell you about Tia"

This is what I heard from Camua-Josh. If you hadn't heard about Tia, I'm sure you hadn't even heard this story.

"Tia was to heal it by the woods because of her injuries, but then she took the deep end again. The bandits who attacked the woods slashed you in the back with a knife."

"Ha n? Is there such a dumb spot to attack the woodland? It's like sticking your head in a hungry lion's mouth."

"Yes. The chief was a man with a grudge against the people of the woods. So… the men under his command were once the people of the mountain that Camus and the men of Gamray had been captured."

"Ahn?," Pino frowned.

"What are we talking about, the people of the mountains that we have captured? Well, there are a lot of outlaws in the mountains, so Atashi and the others have been taken care of several times."

"I don't know much about it either, but my predecessor seemed to be a bandit named The Moon of Tarless."

"Ah," Lolo raised his voice.

"Oh, that's it. These are the bandits we met when we first met Camua-Josh. See, Niya was duped by another bandit leader..."

"Ah, that happened too. But the bandits of the mountain people have nothing to do with you folks by the woods, right?

"Yes, the leader is the man who was a nobleman of Genos. He was sentenced to hard labour in the same mine when he escaped from a previous earthquake… so the people who formed the new bandits attacked the woodland."

Pinot was on the spot and took the steps lightly.

Apparently, that meant treading on the estate.

"Do you think those punks attacked the woodland and let this tier take a deep toll on his daughter? Deep hand, what kind of deep hand was that?

"It was deep enough to involve life and death. If he wasn't as viable as Tia, he'd definitely give his soul back first."

"Ah, what an angry story already! If that's the case, you shouldn't have handed it over to the guards, but you should have left them on fire!

Pinot looked genuinely angry and took down the angry steps.

Afterwards, he turns back to Tia in a rather quiet manner.

"Because of the hammering imitation, I let you look me in the eye. I'm in the mood for a sincere apology."

"Hmm. There's one thing about Tia that I didn't understand what Asta said."

"In short, those guys who hurt Tia were once sinners captured by the Pinos. So you were being punished and you ran away and you came at us."

"I see. Running away from punishment was truly shameless."

After saying it that way, Tia compared what the Pinots looked like.

"But they weren't as powerful as the people by the woods, but they were human beings with a lot of power. If you beat those people, you have a lot of power."

"Ah, because this lolo is a swordsman with the alias Sword King. I'm proud of my wooden sword. I've put a bunch of bandits to sleep."

"No, please don't. Even Pinot had beaten more than me with his best bars."

Apparently, both of these names contributed significantly to the capture of the bandits.

Nevertheless, being able to defeat the people of the mountains and so on is still a great force. Tia looked at both of those names with an idea face.

"But there's no need for you guys to apologize. Whatever happened in the past, they're the ones who decided to attack Asta. The bad news is they are all."

"I'd appreciate it if you could say that. But when I think they imitated you like that, my stomach's gonna boil."

"But if I hadn't borne the deep hand there, Tia would have been back in the sanctuary for a long time. And then Pinot and Tia couldn't even look at each other like this."

When I snapped my mouth like that, rarely did Pinot look at me with a tight eye.

"Then you want me to be happy that this little girl was in terrible shape? I don't know, today Asta feels more mean than usual."

"Oh, I'm sorry about that. I just thought Tia and Pinot had some strange connections that seemed completely out of touch."

"Well, well... even the abandoned traveler and the people of the Great God are no stranger to the human being who lives in this world. Somewhere, fate is connected, Mona."

That said, Pinot glanced back at Tia.

"But I can't stomach this then. Is there anything we can do to help you?

"So there's no need for you guys to get sick or anything. Tia just wants to get back to training."

"Training," Pinot repeated.

"Then why don't you and the others help me? I'm just climbing a tree. So you're bored, huh?

Tia's eyes opened wide open.

"If you guys have as much power as a hunter by the woods, it might help with your training. But I don't think you guys need to go through all that trouble."

"No, Atashi wants to be useful. If I told you I'd made peace with the people of the Great God, I'd be talking grass all my life."

Pino regained his normal condition and hung his red lips up more.

"If it was the two of them, I wouldn't be so inferior to the folks by the woods. Asta, can I borrow Grigi's stick if I have more?

"Oh, yes, yes. One moment, please."

If it's a grigi stick, there are plenty of spares to hang and carry the iron pan. When he received the grigi stick he had brought out of the pantry, Pinot swung it around like a pastime to show in the boarding town.

"Ugh, that sounds good. Lolo, I'll get you to follow me."

"Yes. But I'm sure I'll soon be defeated."

Lolo smiled weakly, pulling the wooden sword out of his sheath.

"Hmm," Tia leans her little neck as she compares the two of them like that.

"When I tried this, you guys seemed to have unbeatable power over the hunters by the woods. On the ground, Tia may not have a chance to win. I'd be happy if those trees could deal with them in a deep place."

"Feel free. Then Asta and Ai-Fa won't be as good again."

Pinot looked in a good mood and tried to walk away with Tia.

Then Ai-Fa calls out to the leading tier, "Wait".

"You look a lot happier. You were looking for someone to match?

"Hmm. I still can't get enough power back from just climbing trees."

"Then why don't you say so? This neighbor's family is in a period of rest, so your hands are empty."

"But the i-fa's, are they busy with a lot of things? That's what the Fou men said."

That said, Tia smiled with a grin.

"The people of the woods want us to do our job as the people of the woods. Tia likes the people by the woods, so she doesn't want to disturb them."

Ai-Fa sighed small, then said.

"Still, I have about the free time. Besides, Lem-Dom, who looks after the Lew family, would have liked to get along with you. Looks like he's got a lot more strength than before."

"Right. If it doesn't get in the way of my job, of course I'd like you to help me... but the I-fa's are sweet, so I might try to take care of Tia even if I can't. So I didn't want to tell you."

"At least, I don't force myself. From now on, don't hide your feelings."

"Okay," she said, smiling innocently at the end, before Tia disappeared across the bush.

Pinot and Rollo follow suit, and later only me and Ai-Fa will be left behind. Before heading to Kamado's cabin, I made Ai-Fa laugh.

"Well, I-Fa is sweet, but even Tia hasn't lost it."

"Tia said, I = fa's. Don't give me my name."

Like a blindfold, I-Fa has been kicking my leg lightly.

While I was comfortable with that skinship, I said, "Well!" Let me raise my voice.

"Then I guess I'll encourage you to work, too. Ai-fa trained with the Braves, right?

"Mm-hmm. Me and the braves are just resting, and my body's gone."

That's why we got to get to work on each one.

"Dawn Day" is still a turning point. What needs to be done is still left over from the mountains.

But the encounter between Pinot and Tia didn't seem like such a relief to my mind for a moment.
