Isekai Ryouridou

Two Days of the Silver Moon ② - Narrows in the Woods and Mountains

"Now I want you to crack this gibberish fruit and get the juice inside on your body"

From the men of Sauthi, the fruit of the exclusion of Gibba was dispensed.

When fruit is broken, an intense irritant odor bursts. It smells like rotten seal fruit, like a stick in a tung and nose.

"Oh, this guy can't stop! This makes me want to get out of here, even if it's not Giva!

Dan-Rutim, as keen as I am to smell, was laughing delightfully.

"It's a scent that I smell when I deal with the Lord of the Woods, but when I put it on myself, I can't stop! If we were to wrap this scent around, wouldn't we lose our noses, too?

"We're not as nosy as Rutim's hunter.... but Dan-Rutim's father, Ra-Rutim, must have smelled the Lord of the Woods brilliantly while he was with the hunters surrounded by the scent of Giva"

"Uhm! My nose is a gift from my father Ra! Still, it's a fragrance!

That's how we're all set, and we're set to step into the Morga Forest.

Using the streets cut east and west as a starting point, continue in the north direction. It was the Dali-Souties who would lead the way, trying to surround me and Tia, Raelis and Gemd, and the other hunters scattered on all sides. It's Birdu-Fow and Lyelpham-Sudra that hold up the shiatsu, and right behind us, Ai-Fa is holding us back.

"We also talked about the fact that there are no gibberishes around here... after all, we can't help but be concerned"

Raylis, who was walking next to me, whispered that. As the saying goes, his side is tight and tight.

"Don't you ever cook Asta or usually step into the woods?

"Right. When Gibba was asleep in the morning, she picked up firewood at the edge of the woods."

The rest would be no-count, as Silels had chased me through the woods, but that was also a safe neighborhood near the town. When Jomtien was approaching, it should have been the first time in earnest to step into the middle of the forest in this way.

But this place was originally regarded as a relatively safe area with little fruit to feed Gibba. Otherwise, the streets would never have been cut open. The soldiers of the king's capital, led by Doug, were also talking about reaching the border between the forest and the mountains without encountering Gibba.

(... because of those Dougs, Tia's clan is supposed to keep an eye on the border with the woods)

The soldiers of the king's capital set foot at the edge of the woods and mountains and were to be repelled by the wolves of the Valve. In doing so, it was Tia's compatriots, like no other, who warned that it was forbidden for the outside world to step into the mountains of Morga.

Then Tia's clan was to keep an eye on the border with the woods so that the humans in the outside world would not commit contraindications again. Tia herself was to play that role, and on her way home, she was attacked by a serpent from Madarama, who was to fall into the river of Rant.

Without such imitation by the soldiers of the King's Capital, Tia would never have been a disaster.

But it was also a lost opportunity for us to meet Tia.

I am truly happy to have met Tia. But if this makes Tia's sins unforgivable and wings like giving back her soul - it will curse all fate. That was all I could not tolerate.

"... I wonder if Tia's compatriots are still keeping an eye on the border with the woods?

When I called it that way, Tia, who was walking a little with the hunter's clothes in her arms, smiled delightfully. Because Tia is no longer a hunter, she is not allowed to wrap it around her.

"How many times will this be the first time Asta raises that question? Tia has been away from Morga for a long time, so there's no way to know that."

"Yeah... if there weren't any lookout hunters, Tia would be going back to the mountains all by herself, wouldn't she?

"Hmm. The human Astas of the outside world are not allowed to step into the mountains either. There's no other way."

But Tia has injured her right shoulder, and the stone knife is broken. If you run into the serpent of Madarama before you go on a tour with your compatriots, you will return your soul there. Tia had solidified her readiness to accept any fate, but my readiness had not reached that point.

"... Tia, I think we should go a little further east than straight north like this, but what do you think?

and the leading Dari-Sauti has told us so.

Tia thinks "Hmm".

"Now let's see if Tia climbs up the tree to see where she's headed. I want you to wait a minute."

Tia snagged the hunter's clothes onto the nearby tree branches and disappeared across the perimeter as she left them.

Now without waiting, Tia flutters down to the ground. It doesn't make you feel weighty, it's like a beast.

"I think it's right to stop just a little east, as chief Dari-Sauti put it. That should lead us to the hunting grounds of Namkar."

"Admitted. Okay, let's hurry."

When the march began again, Raylis whispered to me again.

"The physical ability of the people of the sanctuary seems to be a terrible thing. Still, you're not fully empowered yet?

"Yes, only the right shoulder is not free."

"Is it something that you can climb a tree as quickly as that, even though your right shoulder is crippled? I make it, I impress it."

Raylis took a small breath as he stole a look at Tia.

"And... I never thought that the people of the sanctuary were such a young girl. There seems to be no difficulty in speaking, and you feel extremely uncontrolled."

"Yeah. Tia's the innocent girl she looks like."

"I guess so.... but I'm also sure I feel some unusual air. The wild breath that also leads to the people of the woods, is it… it also seems to me that somewhere, it is a beast that has turned into a human"

After saying it that way, Raylis looked a little rushed.

"Oh no, by no means does it mean that the people by the woods are full of beasts... if you're offended, I apologize"

"Not at all. I was born in the outside world, so I'm sure I feel the same way about Raylis."

With such a dimensional review, Tia was walking in unparalleled footsteps.

Its face has no colour of tension, it is a natural body as usual. I'm not hiding my inner anxiety, I guess it's because my readiness is solidified. Tia lived her days from the first day she met us, ready to give her soul back to the Great God at any time.

I wonder if it's about the time I walked for a moment.

Dan-Rutim, who was in formation on the right hand side, raised his voice, "Hey."

"I can feel the sign of the beast in my hand. I wonder if this is Valve's wolf."

Speaking that way, Dan-Rutim's indulgence was shining in anticipation.

All the other faces are retightening their expressions.

"The border between the mountains and the woods is now too. Tia, it's time for you to take the lead."

Following Dari-Sauti's instructions, Tia moved forward.

I don't think, "Um," I raise my voice.

"Would you mind moving me a little further in front, too? I hope it's safe from danger..."

Dari-Sauti answered me with a powerful big smile.

"More than ever, we are not willing to contend with the three beasts of Morga. If the wolf of the Valve seems to be attacking us, it's just about escaping on the tree. You can decide where you want to walk at Fa's house."

When I looked back at Ai-Fa, there was a grumpy Buddha top surface waiting for me there.

"... when I have to, I'm gonna climb a tree with you. Whatever happens, it's never a random imitation, is it?

"Yeah, of course."

That's how we got to line up right behind the tier.

Dari-Sauti, who gave the place away, looks back at the Leiris left in the middle.

"It will be difficult for you, too, to climb trees on your own. You should decide who should hold it when it comes to trouble."

"One, I'll take it! They're both fine men, but they can't be as heavy as they are!

"Hmm. Then I'll take the other one."

As Dan-Lutim and Donda-Lou approached him, Raylis let his gaze wander in a much bubbled way.

"Wow, you mean climbing trees with us? That sounds a lot like an unscrupulous story..."

"It's not as lame as running away from the Valve on the ground! Well, let us handle this in the woods!

Dan-Rutim looked around at the hunters on the spot as he sounded a luxurious laugh.

"Except they're not Giva, they're Valve's wolves! They seem to be able to run up without difficulty if they are slightly inclined trees! When you run over a tree, choose a tree that grows as straight as possible!

The hunters, headed by Dali-Souti, show a signal of understanding with a sedentary face. Dan-Rutim nodded satisfactorily, snapping Raylis' back at his usual rate.

"Well, that's why! I want you to stay with me because when I have to, it won't take long to speak up!

"Yes. I understand…"

Raylis was lowering his eyebrows as he was overwhelmed by Dan-Rutim's momentum.

In contrast to such a leiris, Gemdo is looking back at Donda-Lou with a calm, faceless look. They are two names that seem to vary in stature but only a few centimeters in height.

"You are a great swordsman, but you are not allowed to point your sword at Valve, the inhabitant of the sanctuary and the dot. Do you accept that they will be treated like luggage?

"Yes, thank you for the warmth of the chiefs by the woods"

In the voice of a deep baritone, Gemd answered as such. He is a young man who always kills signs like a shadow of Fermes, but with enough sword moves to trick Sin-Lu. It was also the appearance of your son that it was hard to believe that he was a squire.

"So, shall we go? Tia, lead the way."

"Umm," Tia nodded, stepping out.

Moment - The howl of a wild beast shivers the forest air.

At the same time, I-Fa was grabbing my belt.

"Don't move, Asta. I don't feel hostile, but I need to be careful."

"Ugh, yeah......"

With those words exchanged, Tia looked back at this one with a calm look.

"That's Valve calling his countrymen. Only one, I guess, was standing guard. If you wait, I'm sure the Hunter of Namkar will come too"

"Right. Then I guess we should not move to a groan and wait for it"

"Mm-hmm. I think Tia's right about that too"

As Tia looked up into heaven, she breathed deeply and deeply.

"Soon, Tia's fate will be decided. Asta, Ai-Fa, and Tia are sincerely grateful to the Great God for meeting them both"

"For the parting words, it's still early. Wait till your fate is decided."

"Uhm, right"

We're going to have such a restless time.

It is comfortable as if the wolf of the Valve was heard lurking in the immediate vicinity or his whole body was spinning with sharp eyes. Ey-fa and others became the eyes of the hunter, pulling his mouth together, clutching my waistband all the time.

I don't know how much time has passed.

From overhead on the lid, I heard a pressing boy named "Tia".

Tia, who was silent and sloppy, turned slowly in the direction of her voice.

"That voice, Rita. I'm happy to exchange words again."

"... should I be happy with that too?

The boy's voice felt too tense, a lot better.

"Why are you standing with the outside world? Are you... willing to become a man of the outside world and to obliterate the sanctuary of the Great God?

"No, these men are here to see Tia return to Morga. Never break the law."

"Back to Morga... then again, you were out on the outside with contraindications"

The boy's voice reveals signs of passion.

"You disappeared from Namkar's hunting ground less than six months ago. Whether you've been eaten by Madarama or not, we're going to offer our condolences. But you... you were out in the open with contraindications."

"Mm-hmm. Tia, I've made a contraindication. I ran into Madarama on my way home from this place and fell into the river. So the next time I woke up, Tia was out on the outside."

"Then why didn't you come right back? If you didn't come out on your own, it shouldn't be a big sin."

"Tia had broken her leg. And I didn't realize I was in the outside world, and I did this to Asta."

Tia's little fingertips pointed to me standing right behind her.

"Tia scratched herself by mistake that Asta had stepped into the mountain of Morga. Therefore, he also considered it unacceptable to return until he redeemed the sin. Eventually, the sin was redeemed, but in doing so, he lost his power as a hunter. I've been trained ever since, but it's never been easy to finally regain my strength."

…………

"That's how two days ago, I learned that The Eye of the Great God shined over Morga's head and that the year was coming to an end. Tia turned thirteen and finished her period of life as a hunter, so she decided to return to Morga. We want to entrust the rest of the judgment to the chiefs."

"Wait... my head is hanging on. I don't understand Writa, even if she's lined up one word after the other."

"Uh-huh. Lyta didn't like to use her head."

Tia's staring tree edges shook tightly to indicate agitation.

"With the contraindication of going out into the outside world, what is that saying? Do you know how much you've sinned?

"I know. For the past six months, Tia has been thinking about her sins. I intend to do everything in my power to redeem it, but I believe it is the role of the Chiefs to decide whether Tia is right or not. Will Ryta bring Tia back to the Chiefs?

After a period of silence, the writhing boy responded "No".

"Rita doesn't know if Tia, who went out into the outside world, will be allowed to step into Morga. I think it's also the role of the chiefs to decide that."

"So will you pass on Tia's words to the Chiefs?

"I guess I'll just have to...... Tia's words are intertwined, so I don't understand Writa"

"Well, I'm going to explain it again"

I'm sure Tia has been thinking in her head about what words should be conveyed to her compatriots. Words with little to no different content were to be repeated as quickly as possible.

"... there are a few things I don't know. What kind of scratches did Tia put on that person named Asta?

"I grabbed my neck and tried to snap it. There were no major scratches left, but Tia tried to kill Asta. Therefore, I thought that the only way to redeem this sin was to give my life"

"So how did you use that life?

"When Asta was attacked by a bad person, she tried to protect it. I could hardly protect myself, but I could make time for Asta's compatriots to rush. And since I was wounded to the point of losing my life, I wonder if this would have redeemed my sins"

"... What kind of wound was so much as a loss of life?

"With a steel sword, my back was broken. It didn't look like Tia because of her back, but I hear her bones were scratched enough to peek"

"... did the unclean steel hurt the red people"

Only for a moment did Lyta's voice feel like she was pregnant with a tremendous rage.

"So how was Tia spending her time in the outside world? You shouldn't be allowed to be friends with other people."

"Uhm. Tia was spending time under the people by the woods. The people of the woods are the people who hunt for Giva. The people by the woods were kind and allowed Tia, who could not be friends or compatriots, to live in the same place"

"The Giva hunting clan, Lyta also knows. But… there also stands a man who is not a hunter"

Then Raylis advanced with a resolute face.

"In the course of our conversation, I beg your pardon. My name is Leiris and I am the deputy of Lord Melfried, the first son of the Marquis of Genos. I'd like to share the words of Lord Melfried with the Red People's Lyta, would you mind?

Ryta was silent and revealed her vigilance.

I don't care about Raylis, I'm going to overlap the words.

"The Marquis of Genos will take over the covenant with the people of the sanctuary that was left in the land and will be the clan that kept it. It will also be a blood muscle to the monarch for the forest people who live in the woods at the foot of the mountain. It was also carried out under the permission of the Marquis de Genos family with regard to the ritual of keeping the people's daughter of the sanctuary by the woods. Let me tell you that we have never broken a promise."

"... Tia, what is that human talking about?

"It talks about the covenants made between the Red People and the human outside world. The people who live near here have not forgotten their promises to the Red People."

Tia replied in a calm voice, as such.

"The red people do not touch the outside world, and the people of the outside world do not touch the mountains of Morga. The Red People and the people of the outside world spend their own time in their respective homelands, without ever becoming friends or compatriots. Those promises we made were kept in the outside world."

"Hmm... but the outside world tried to step into Morga"

"With regard to the matter, I have your word in my hands from Lady Fermes, the diplomat of the King's capital"

And now Gemd advanced.

"The soldiers who once tried to step into the mountains of Morga will be soldiers of the king's capital, not Genos. They set foot in the woods to hunt for Gibba, but they lost sight of the road in a strange place, and they falsely stepped to the edge of the mountains and woods. Never intended to stigmatize the sanctuary of the Red People, but let this be an unacceptable sin, because you dyed your hands in deeds incompatible with your own instrumentality, threatening Genos and the code of the sanctuary. As a man of the same king's capital, I would like to say several words of apology - that's what Lady Fermes said."

That oligarchy Gemd spoke so long was the first sight I've ever seen.

But of course, Writa is rocking the periphery without feeling it.

"It's a voice that sounds a lot, but I don't know what words mean. What is this man talking about?

"It was this man's compatriot who once tried to step into the hunting grounds of Namkar. I'm not sure about Tia either, but it seems to be a clan that lives very far away. So I guess I didn't know the weight of the code or the covenant"

"Yes. On that matter, the Marquis of Genos also received sincere apologies from the people of the King's Capital. I hope you understand that the Marquis of Genos has no desire to belittle his covenant with the people of the sanctuary."

Quite quickly, Raylis also overlaps words.

Perhaps in Castel Genos, this stage was in place. Leiris and Gemd, acting on behalf of Melfried and Fermes, did their job correctly.

And as if to close that end, Donda-Lou advanced.

"I'm one of the chiefs by the woods, Donda-Lou. As we lived by the woods, the territory of Genos, we tried to keep that promise. Let me declare here that I have been keeping my daughter, Tia, for a long time, but that none of my promises are different."

…………

"Therefore, I would like you to see the deeds of my daughter, Tia, with a fair eye. This daughter had spent this long time defending the code of the clan with a strong heart. We guarantee there will be no falsehoods."

"... we also know that Tia hasn't spoken a lie"

In a voice that had lost a lot of power, Ryta replied that way.

"Now I'm going to pass on Tia's words to the Chiefs. Tiers want us to wait here."

"Okay. I am so happy to have Tia's wishes heard."

When Tia responded that way, the overhead perimeter swayed slightly again.

"It's up to the Chiefs to decide whether or not to forgive Tia's sins. It's just... Writa is so happy that Tia was alive"

With those words, the periphery rocked tremendously.

Soon afterwards, another tree perimeter sways. Lyta must have flown over there. As it was, Ryta seemed to have disappeared into the depths of the mountain without showing us.

"Namkar's house is not that far away. Unless you run into Madarama on the way, I think you can come back before sundown."

That's what I said, and Tia came back this way.

"To everyone, I took care of them. The rest will be laid down by the Namkal chiefs"

"Hmm. We're here as spectators. You can't go home until you see what judgment the chiefs of the Red People will make."

"Really? Then don't let them take care of you for a while yet."

Speaking that way, Tia has turned her attention to me.

On that face, a grin and an innocent grin can appear.

"The time for goodbye has gone by again. I feel a little restless about when I'm going to spill my tears"

"Yeah... but the hunter named Lyta seems friendly and relieved."

"Ryta is the eldest brother of Tia's mother, Hamra's brother. Used to live in the same house"

Then it was meant to be a cousin to Tia.

I guess I should be thankful that so many close people showed up.

"But the werewolves of the Valve look a little bit alike! Isn't that a lot less loving, even though they seem to have gathered all ten heads together!

Tia nodded "uhm" as Dan-Rutim cheerfully raised her voice.

"As long as Tia's sins are not forgiven, she will never return to her friends. I don't think Valb will show up until the Chiefs reply is delivered"

"Um, well! By the time I get home, I want you to show yourself with just one eye!

That's how we're going to have another restless time.

And now, it's a long street. It was a story that we should be back by sundown, but now it's about time we finally passed Jomtien. It was also unsettling because it was unclear how much time it would take to come back.

"But it's kind of not going to fit round. Well, if the red folk are all like Tia, they must also have deep feelings."

It was Lem-Dom who said it that way. She happened to be staying in the settlement of Luu, so she was entrusted with the role of a spectator, but Tia and I were friends over a variety of training times. Maybe in this, next to me, I-Fa and the Birdu-Faws, I was a person with deep ties to Tia.

And so time passed, cursorily...

With my body clock, it was about three hours ago, and the overhead periphery rang.

"I've passed on Tia's words to the chiefs. I'm going to tell Tia that reply."

It is the voice of the same boy as earlier, Lyta.

The voice felt more pressing than it had just been.

"At my own discretion, I can hardly decide the end of Tia's life. Tia's deeds are to be determined on the occasion of the Council of Chiefs… Hamra, the chief of Namkar, said so"

"Council of Chiefs? You want me to gather all the sheikhs for Tia and the like?

Tia looked heartily surprised.

But what was truly surprising was the words ahead.

"Mm-hmm. And I also believe that in order to determine the truth, we need the words of the human beings in the outside world who were spending time with Tia. I wish Tia would accompany a man named Asta and those responsible in the outside world."

"You want me to invite the Astas into the mountains of Morga? Isn't that Morga's contraindication!

"Mm-hmm. Writa, too, was amazed. But that's how chief Hamra said Morga also has the manoeuvres to bring in people from the outside world."

So, the perimeter swayed heavily - and spit out a little shadow on the ground.

Some people, including me, breathe heavily. Writa, who had been hissing so hard, suddenly revealed herself.

It was the boy's hunter, who looked only a little older than Tia. The back length also seems to be about 10 cm bigger than the tier, and since it is a male, it has a much stronger physique.

But after all, the look looked a lot like Tia's.

He has a big eye and mouth, and only his nose has a stubborn, very loving face. Bigger than Tia, but smaller than me, he has a crushed head, and his hands, feet, and torso are loose. That little body is filled with wild life.

And he had a bright red look in his eyes, too.

Tier and others have dull brick colors in both hair and skin, but are more crisp wine red. They were talking about dyeing themselves with holy water at the end of the year, so I guess there will be so much difference.

He is equipped with a hunter's clothing wrapped in blue and black madalama scales, an arrow barrel on his back, a bow on his shoulder and a dagger on his hip. On the cheeks, the back of the hands and the back of the feet, he was the figure of a hunter of unbridled red people, with a strange tattoo of tattoo.

"... Asta was you."

And my eyes, shaded like garnets, just like Tia's, look sharply at me.

"Do you acknowledge your participation in the Council of Chiefs? I want that reply on this occasion."

"Wait. Tia doesn't want to bother Asta anymore"

As Tia clasped her words, Ryta shook her head like she had a seizure.

"But! If Asta doesn't come, the council of Chiefs won't be held! Now it will be difficult to determine Tia's deeds! You will return your soul to the Great God without forgiveness for your sins!

"Then I'll go."

I almost answered with a spinal reflex, and then I looked back at Ai-Fa.

"I'm sorry I answered on my own. But I..."

"I know," Ai-Fa whispered my words.

"But I can't let you go to Morga Mountain by yourself. Tia spent time at Fa's house, so I'll be accompanied by Fa's parents, the hunter of the Red People."

"Uhm. Chief Hamra has allowed up to ten people to accompany him. Ten, including Asta, who Tia hurt.... Asta's going to the council of chiefs, right?

"I'll move on. I'll testify to how strong Tia was trying to redeem her sins."

Lyta closed her eyelids and breathed deeply.

"Asta is a person in the outside world, but I appreciate you saying that.... Then, after nine days, by Jomtien, I want you to come to this place"

"Nine days later? Is that so far ahead of you?

"The mountains of Morga are so vast. It takes about four days to get to the farthest house. Four days to go, four days to bring back the chief, and a day of relaxation, after nine days. I hope you're never wrong because it's the ninth day of counting from tomorrow"

Then it was the eleventh day of the silver moon.

I'm going to carve that date into my chest.

"No, but I knew Tia was against it. Asta and the others, any more annoyances..."

"No!" And I was to raise my voice aloud at the same time as Lyta.

"This is the only way left for Tia to live forever! Do you want to close that path, Misumi?

"That's right! Tia redeemed her sins properly, so I can't believe she's giving her soul back!

Tia got a decent face and compared me to Lyta's.

In those innocent eyes, a clear glimmer eventually rises.

"What, you two... Tia says she's already solidified her readiness..."

"There's no need to give that up when there's a place left where you can claim you're right. My brothers are holding hands for Tia, so it's a hell of a story to reject."

I knelt down on the spot and looked up at Tia's face from the bottom, which seemed to make me cry.

"Besides, I'm not that annoying. Red folk may be the kind of people who can't be friends or brothers... but they're the ones who've raised Tia before. That's all I can trust."

Tia shrugged her face, sweeping one of my hair and grabbing it all the time.

I suppose you're diligently trying to touch me, following the Forestside lesson. Still, I felt like I could feel Tia's warmth from her hair that wasn't supposed to be through the nerves or anything.

That's how we qualified to step into the mountains of Morga, the sanctuary of the continent, nine days later.
