1157 Eila's Feast ⑤ ~ Pledge ~

It was half a minute before sunset, so the inside of the cathedral was dim.

First, the nuns lit a fire on the candlestick near the wall.

The spacious cathedral is softly enveloped by orange light, and there is a refreshing tone. A few nuns started ringing something like a tiny song.

Leanlean and some autumn bugs have similar tones.

The high ceiling, the dim light of the candle hanging from it, and the moist, soothing tone of the ears - there seemed to be a solemn air all around the cathedral.

In the deepest part of the cathedral, there is an altarpiece with a statue of Eila.

It was about a meter tall, made of white smooth stone, and its elegantly curved arms carried what seemed to be a chalice.

Indeed, Eila is the companion of the sun god Alir and the moon goddess. At the masquerade on the day of his departure, Eurifia was supposed to be dressed as Eila.

The door is opened on the left and right of the moon goddess while being watched by Eila, who is in charge of the marriage.

From there, Levi and Terrier-Mass entered.

In both cases, the father is diagonally backward.

And the only ceremony that both names had in mind was the one prepared for the feast of praise. It is a decorative addition to the semi-arguments worn at the tasting.

After all, that is the most luxurious outfit for them.

In the castle town, it was a costume wrapped by the feast attendees, but in the station town, it was luxurious enough not to have a chance to see it -- even if not, the two of them looked very splendid.

And they are wearing shoulder straps embroidered with gold thread on white. I'm sure it's a costume for the people who will give the wedding.

As they adjusted to the tone of the rhythm, the two of them slowly stepped forward to the head of the festival.

Levi looked nervous, and Terrier-Mass gently looked down.

Levi is well-arranged and has a fine figure that he doesn't have to be ashamed of anywhere.

And Terrier = Mass--a hair that was always tied casually on her shoulders, with a small flower ornament on her right temple, she was just as pathetic as the others.

Milan-Mass is the top of the Buddha more than usual, and Lars has a gentle smile as usual, followed by each child. The sound of Lars' stick rang at the same timing as the crowd, so it also sounded like calculated music.

Arriving at the head of the sacrifice, they first bowed to the attendees.

The attendees returned their thanks and sat down afterwards. This was the only thing we were told about the ceremony.

When all the attendees are seated, the bride, groom and father turn to the head of the ritual. And only the bride and groom knelt on the spot.

"... I bless the moon god Eilah."

The chief sacrificial officer hung the feathers of the yellow bird in the chalice placed on the altar.

Then, the water droplets containing the feather decorations were sent down to the bride and groom's head.

"In the presence of the western god Selva and her son, the moon god Eila,

Levi and Terrier-Mass rose and received bouquets of flowers from their fathers. Levi is a white bouquet, and Terrier-Mass is a yellow bouquet.

And Levi drew a bouquet of flowers from the bouquet of terrier-mass, and threw it into the other man's chest.

And Teriah-Math drew a bouquet of flowers from the bouquet of Levites, and threw it into their bosom.

The rest of the bouquet is returned to the father, and Levi and Teriah-Mass turn to the seats again.

"The people of Satulas, the sons of Milan-Mas, Terrier-Mas, I swear before the Father, the God of the West, and the Moon, Eilah, and all those who have come to this place, that they will accompany the people of Satulas, Levi, and live in righteousness with their hearts."

"Levi the son of Laz the people of Satulas, will take Teriah Mas the people of Satulas as his companion, and will live with his hand until the day when his soul is called, before the Father of the West and the Moon, Eilah, and all who have come to this place."

Both voices were trembling in small tones.

And the two turned toward the chief sacrificial officer, and knelt down again.

Then, when the ruler stepped aside, the two of them dressed up against Eila's idols - they repeated the same oath, hanging their heads deeply toward you.

The head of the ritual returned to its original position in response to the sound of the chirping, and sprinkled the water of the chalice over their heads again with a yellow feather decoration.

"The marriage vows have been exchanged. Please remember this day's hopes and joys and have a healthy day together.”

Levi and Terrier-Mass rose up and turned toward the attendees.

At the same time, the bells of the nuns sounded like a large chorus of bellwethers, and all the attendees unfurled their congratulations.

"Happy Terrier-Mass!"

"Levi, don't make your partner cry!"

Bless Ella, Levi and Terrier-Mass!

Bless Eila!

Fifty or so attendees, including the people on the edge of the forest, celebrate the two with a big round of applause. At last, Levi laughed shyly, and Teria = Mas--she smiled quietly and spilled clear tears.

Lars laughed with a smile on his face, and Milan-Mass was the top of the largest Buddha. If you don't, you won't be able to hold your tears. Milan-Mass' stubbornness seemed to induce tears in me.

Well then, please leave the room.

Levi and Terrier-Mass began to walk towards the exit of the cathedral, following the frequent voice of the lord of the ritual. Then, from the seat on the right, the elderly woman and Yumi rise, and from the left, Ben and Cargo rise, lining up to the left and right of Levi and Terrier-Mass. It serves as an escort to the square where the feast is held.

Other attendees will then aim for the cathedral exit.

Along the way, I said, "Are you all right? Yun-Sudra's voice was heard, so I looked back at her --- Fei-Baim had wept more than anyone else.

"It's okay, don't worry about it." I'm just upsetting myself. "

Certainly, Fei-Beim is not as close to Levi as Terrier-Mass. But no matter what, I'm not supposed to be sad and crying, so I decided to leave it alone.

At the entrance of the cathedral, the nuns hold a small cup and sprinkle water droplets over the seats with feathers. Ei = Fa frowned wildly at the figure.

"What kind of deed is that?" Will you not turn away from the water? "

Then Tara, who was walking with Rimi-Lou in hand sometime, laughed, "Ahahaha."

"That's the holy water of Eila's blessing!" Ai = Fa, is it really your fault that you get wet? "

"There's no reason to have fun wearing water without a reason." However, if that is the custom of the station town, I can't avoid it unwillingly. "

That's why we're taking a blessed sacred shower. Especially because the huntsmen stopped to receive the sword and coat, I also agreed to receive a blessing that would make my hair moist and wet.

"What a strange habit." Well, the wedding ceremony on the edge of the forest may be similar from the perspective of the people in the town. "

While blurring like that, Ei = Fa stirs up her wet forehead. It's just this story, and it's Ei = Fa that looks so glossy.

Anyway, the front was completely dusk-like.

The sky is dyed deep purple, and the temperature is falling considerably. And at the end of the road, the candlestick fire that someone seemed to be hoisting flashed.

"No, it was a crack at the wedding, but it's still good." I don't have that much interaction with those two... but I want you to be happy in the end. "

Dora's father laughed like that. Dora's father, Terrier = Mas, was only with him a few times at a feast near the forest, and Levi and I met at the stall.

Speaking of which, the attendees on the side of the Mass family were mostly elderly people, with the exception of Yumi and the others. For Terrier-Mass, who was always attentive to the inn, the friends of the same generation might be the only people I knew through Yumi.

(However, it is within the past two years that Terrier-Mouth has become friends with Yumi. Until then, would you have no friends of the same generation?)

At the beginning of my acquaintance, Terrier-Mass seemed very subtle. I thought it would be a disturbance to the people around the forest - but before that, the experience of losing my mother at a young age must have caused me to have a temper inside. It seemed certain from the mouths of Milan = Mass and Late once heard.

(All the Levites just play with friends of their generation, and they don't get along with grown-ups. Does Ra's have any relatives after breaking off the bad relationship?)

Isn't it possible that the relationship of interaction, which was already lacking, will spread due to the fate of the two families?

Thinking like that, I felt even happier.

After five minutes of walking through the streets of the residential area, you will finally reach your destination.

The first time I set foot, it was called "Eila's Square". The wedding feast in the station town was said to be held roughly here.

It seems that there is no big difference in scale or construction between the "Vailus Square" I know. However, today there were many kindling fires around the square, and there were still many stalls.

"Hmm. You're here at last." It's not going to cause a lot of noise, is it? "

And a person wearing a simple armor was approaching from beyond the darkness. It was none other than Platoon Leader Mars, whom I had the pleasure of welcoming.

“Thank you for your hard work, Mars was your watchman today.”

"Hmm. The wedding ceremony with the people close to the forest has assigned work to my team." It's so confusing. "

Then the familiar Ludo-Roux laughed, "Haha."

"Mm, isn't that right?" I'm going to show you a puppet show today, so you can enjoy it too. "

"Can you say such a shameful thing in the course of your duties?" Anyway, don't take your wings off too much. "

So we said goodbye to Mars, and we got into the square. I'm just going to say hello to the members of the stall.

“Thank you for your hard work. Is everything all right?”

“Yes, I'm ready. Asta, please enjoy the feast.”

Ratz's crowd returns a smile. There were only ten stalls lined up on the spot, and six of them were the stalls owned by Kamado on the edge of the forest.

Since it is forbidden to burn fire on the ground in the station town, it is routine to prepare food at stalls even at feasts in the square. Of course, this is not a business, but a behavior from the bride and groom. Instead, it was said that it was the style of the station town to pay for the celebrations according to the market.

I take Ai = Fa and go around the stalls from one end to the other. Two of them were related to [Kimusu's Tail Pavilion], and the last two were Roy and Siri = Rowe. In addition, a table carried from the cafeteria was placed next to their stalls, where Bozuzu lined up fuwano dishes that did not require thermal insulation.

"Oh, Asta-sama, thank you for your hard work." How was the wedding? ”

“Yes, I was very impressed because it was my first time attending a wedding in town.... I may be wrong, but thank you for the Levites today."

"I've only been greeting them a few times at feasts and tastings around the forest, but... it would be great if you could take this opportunity to deepen your relationship with them."

Having said that, Bozur smiled at them.

Siri = Rowe at the all-purpose stall stirred the contents of the iron pot in a filled manner. When she once cooked at a feast on the edge of the forest, she stumbled on it.

When I try to say hello, a yellow, glamorous voice pushes towards me. As expected, it was a group of young women led by Yumi.

"Ahh, I'm so glad! Siri = Rowe and Roy are also bozzing. Good job!" We're all looking forward to cooking for you today! "

"Hi, it's a lot of people today, isn't it?"

Siri = Rowe returned the words as she was overwhelmed by the liveliness of her daughters.

The daughters looked around with curiosity at Siri = Rowe's figure.

"A girl in a castle town is elegant after all!" This guy has a beautiful face too! "

"Isn't that a nice boy?" It's a little tingly, though. "

Um, it looks fragile, I don't like it

The people in the south don't seem to change much, either in the station town or in the castle town!

Yumi looked around at his bad friends as he put his hand on his tiny waist.

"If you don't even say hello to Rook, don't make a fuss!" If Siri = Rowe is rude, I won't forgive you! "

"Yes," said the children, but their daughters sampled Siri = Rowe's figure in a state of indifference.

"I don't want to," Yumi laughed at Sily-Row.

"Then, when the Milan-Masses have finished their greeting, they will come again!" I'm really looking forward to your food! "

When Yumi and the others retreated early, Siri = Rowe dropped her shoulders in a mood.

"Somehow, it felt like Yumi had been added to the list of names... moreover, Yumi, who was a stranger as soon as we met..."

"Ahaha, but those are all daughters who have gathered in admiration of Yumi." There shouldn't be a single bad person, so keep a warm eye on them. ”

Is Asta in love with those people?

"It's not that much of a gesture, but everyone is a stall customer." That's why your tongue should be fat. "

In my words, Siri = Rowe's eyes were dazzled, and Roy lifted one eyebrow with a "hehe".

"It's unusual for you to say that." It's floating in the air of the wedding. "

“Yes, I was looking forward to this day.”

While answering like that, I looked again at the state of the square.

At the moment, it seems that nearly 100 people are already gathered. It seems that only the bride and groom and people close to them will be able to settle down at the wedding celebration, and then various people will visit instead. It is not unusual for a total stranger to stop by and leave a copper coin for a meal and a ceremony.

Whatever it is, the square is full of enthusiasm.

In this way, Milan-Mass stood on top of the clock set in the center of the square.

"I am truly grateful to you for gathering so many people for my daughter and the bridegroom today!" Drink, make a noise, and go home without being scolded by the guards! "

The people respond with cheers and applause.

It is said that only the Easter festival and the wedding feast are allowed to make so much noise in the night station town. Indeed, it was full of enthusiasm and vitality reminiscent of the Easter festival.

(After all, is there any influence from the Evil God Sect?)

Even on the day when it was reported that the Crusade of the Evil God Order had been completed, this atmosphere prevailed in the station town. It's already been almost a month - Genos has suffered a shortage of vegetables, and he's got a lot of claw marks left. In order to bounce back from such depression, people might have been waiting for the feast to arrive.

"So today, the people from the forestside and the castle town have prepared a festive meal for me!" I'm sure you've prepared a fantastic meal for me, so please enjoy it a lot! ”

And when Milan-Mass gathered his mouth together, Levi went up on the clock, and helped Teria-Mass and Lars as they went up.

Levi was burning his head with emotion, and Terrier-Mass, who wiped his tears, was burning his cheeks as he smiled quietly. And Lars was still smiling softly as usual.

As people clap and cheer further, a plenty of fat people climb up to the sundial, helped by Levi. It was the companion of Milan-Mas's sister, who said she had married somewhere else.

"Such a grand wedding feast is a bit of a feast!" As my brother-in-law in Milan-Mass, I am truly proud!...... Well then, bless Teria-Mas and Levi as they begin their new lives this evening! "

Here, as in the forest, "Blessings!" The voices were summed up.

Milan = Mas is under the sun clock one by one, amidst the cheering. That was the signal for the start of the feast.

The Milan-Masses are sitting close to the clock and receiving congratulations from the people. I decided to go there with Ei = Fa.

After all, those who have a deep relationship are the first to rush. All the faces in front of us were the ones we saw in the cathedral.

And Yun-Sudra and Rei-Matua, who were once apart, are coming towards us. Dora's parents and children, Rimi-Lou and Rud-Lou, and Ziba's grandmother in the wheelchair, Lara-Lou and Sin-Lou who pushed it, as well as Lau-Ray and Yamil-Ray, stood beside us.

"Lau = Ray, please don't go anywhere else." It's the role of the three of us to protect Granny Ziva. "

Lau-Ray, who hid the bottom half of his face with his collar wrapped around her, laughed and said, "I'm coming." His left eye seemed to be squeezed and narrowed by his swollen cheeks, but today's Lau-Ray felt like he had been laughing ever since he met her.

"Lau-Ray is in a very good mood." I wonder if the Levites were happy with their wedding after all? "

"Ahhhh, let me go." I'm so happy to see you, I'm so happy to hear it. "

"What? What? What did you say in the second half?"

Then, Yamil-Ray interpreted with a dull face.

"I'm glad you didn't lose sight of your friend."...... I've completely heard this unheard voice. "

"It's hard not to get swollen for three days. Is this enough for you to cook?”

"I'm eating as much as usual at home." Insisting that it's not enough to cook soft dishes and dishes that don't use vanilla, we'll have the usual dinner.... I wonder if it won't heal at all. "

Yamil-Ray looked down at her reluctantly to be peeked into her emotions. Yamil-Rey's unruly workmanship speaks eloquently of her heart. So I dared to speak to Lau-Ray.

"Hey, Lau-Ray. Until that swelling subsides, perhaps we should review our eating habits a little? refrain from spicy as well as hard things and nourish yourself with soup dishes....."

Huh. I'm going to bite Gibba.

"No, but it's better not to put too much strain on the wound..."

Lau-Ray, who repeatedly said "no," is still laughing. There is no doubt that it is too much fun and too easy. When I was repelled by that innocent smile and dropped my shoulder, Ei = Fa closed her mouth to my ear.

”When I told you this, I was impressed that Lau = Ray had grown up to be a fine person... but he's just like a toddler right now.”

"Yeah. That might be a good point, but..."

"The virtues and drawbacks are also on the front and back. Even though he might have the strength of a heart that doesn't take the pain of his wound as anything, he must be pretty deeply skilled in not being able to cure the swelling for three days."

When I was told like that, I became more and more worried.

But before you say any more words, the order of greeting turns. I changed my mind and started laughing at Levi and the others.

"Congratulations Levi, Terrier-Mass. It was a very nice ceremony."

"I hate it. Don't be so embarrassed." It would still be nice to be taught like Ben and the others. "

And Levi looked as embarrassed as ever. Well, given the young age of seventeen, there is nothing strange about it.

All the terriers = mass seem to be frowning with joy in a quiet smile. It must not have seemed more pathetic to her.

"Congratulations, Terrier-Mass! So, I don't think this applies to the customs of the forestside or the staging town...."

Lara-Lou, who entrusted the wheelchair to Sin-Lou, took out a small package from the hip compartment. What was contained there was a blue mistletoe flower with a bright but very refreshing hue.

"This is a celebration from Sheila-Lou." I really wanted to see the wedding, but because Sheila = Luu is too heavy to go down to the station town... can you take it? "

“Of course,” Terrier-Mass pressed the flowers of Mizora with both hands.

Tears of clarity filled his eyes again. But the poor smile never disappeared.

"I am heartfeltly glad to have noticed Sheila-Lou. I will keep this flower with the flowers of the pledge... please tell me."

Yeah! Thank you!

Lara-Lou also laughed with joy.

Sheila = Luu is also a shy woman, and because she is, she has the same kindness to care for shy opponents. When the disturbances surrounding the House of Sun and the House of the Count of Tulan came to an end and Terrier-Mass appeared in front of us, it was Sheila = Luu who broke her heart and was in contact with Terrier-Mass more than anyone else, and it left a strong impression on me that she had deepened her ties earlier than Lara = Luu or Reina = Luu.

As a result, Rimi-Lou and Jiba's grandmothers also sent congratulations to Terrier-Mass.

Meanwhile, Lau-Ray stepped forward to Levi.

"Oh," said Levi, laughing, frowning.

“I missed you, Lau-Ray. I have to thank and apologize to you... but what's with the collar? I've been wondering since I saw you at the cathedral."

Lau-Ray laughed and removed the collar roll.

From there, the bride and groom's family greeted with a strange and unhappy face.

"What's wrong with your face?" No way... it's not my fault, is it? "

Kiiiiiii

"No, I don't care what you say..."

Hyo-no-mi, it's all over, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

"What, what? I have no idea what you're talking about."

"... today you're saying that you can chew on the joy that you've bonded with your loved one, regardless of me."

Still, when Levi was looking confused, Lau-Ray laughed even harder and put a fist around Levi's heart.

"Omiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiisiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

"Shut up, I'll use it later."

Yamil-Ray pulled off the clothes of the hunters of Lau-Ray and stepped out from before the Levites.

I was worried about Lau-Ray's condition, and I immediately tried to chase him - but sooner than that, Milan-Mass grabbed me by the arm.

"Hey, is that really because Levi hit him?" Don't hunters around the forest have such a sloppy body? "

Such a word is whispered in the ear of Levi.

I whispered the same, and I said, "Yes."

"However, it seems that the wound in my mouth got worse because I couldn't avoid spicy or hard dishes. So, I think half of the blame lies with Lau = Ray herself....."

"... but there's no doubt that it was Levi."

And Milan-Mass stuck up to me with a powerful face.

Hey, you were kind to the people of the East, weren't you?

“Yes, they will be there for today's celebration.”

"Well then, ask them if they can do something about that injury." Easterners are better at treating injuries than bad doctors. If you need copper, I'll give you anything. "

Roger that. I'll take care of it. "

"I'm begging you... I don't want to ruin the Levites' feelings with this."

The voice of Milan-Mass is mixed with something cruel.

After giving you a powerful nod, I decided to throw myself into the bustle of the square in search of the faces of the [Silver Pot].
