Isekai Ryouridou

Old ladies and toddlers were walking along the path by the woods.

She is a rare old woman by this forest who is already old enough to have her hair bright white, and a little girl who is still old enough to finally take off her infant.

The girl was very small, but the old woman was also small, and because of her crooked hips, she was able to hold hands without any difficulty.

At noon, the path by the woods.

A bright leaking day paints a geometry on its path, trapped by tall trees on the left and right, and solidified in yellow.

The old woman and toddler walked slowly on that quiet path that no one would pass, without any particular haste.

"Oh...?" and the toddler stops.

A little eye, like the little animal, was pointed over his head.

"What's up, Limi...?

To the old woman's call, the toddler, called Rimi, points his little little fingertips in the same direction as his gaze.

"Huh...?

The old woman, too, slowly turns up.

Behind the periphery in a high place, blue eyes glowed.

It is a girl by the woods.

A girl by the woods put her feet on a branch that wasn't even thick enough to shine her eyes like a bobcat behind the perimeter.

"Oh well... climbing that high, it's dangerous...?

"There is no danger," he replied in a strangely grown-up tone, and the girl flickered from the top of the perimeter.

It is so tall that adult men cannot reach it.

But the girl went down to the ground without danger, relative to the old ladies.

"Wow," the toddler says, surprised.

"Shh shh shh shh! Hey, hey!

"Cocky?," the girl tilts her neck.

"I said look good... you were a bunch of women..."

"It's a bunch of women, but it's a hunter," the girl said like she was upset.

"We captured our first prey the other day. So I'm a hunter now."

"Oh really..."

The old woman laughs as she screws up her shitty face.

The girl opposite it had a bit of a strange vibe.

Age, at best, would be about ten. He's tied his golden brown hair up all the time that he doesn't see much by the woods, and he's glowing blue eyes like a little eye-raised bobcat hard.

The noticeable nose was delicate and neat, but he had a soggy look like a boy, and he seemed very attentive.

And the chest and hips, with beautiful whirlpool patterns, were the most common cloth outfits by the woods - although the girl had feathers woven on their laid-back shoulders, strange ones.

Of Giva's fur, it's sliced.

Are you imitating the cloak of a hunter wrapped around a man? The length was only around the middle of that thin arm, but the leather string was sewn properly around the neck, and he manages to keep himself in shape as a cape.

"This is my tailored giva fur."

You noticed the old woman's gaze, the girl proudly distracts her breasts.

"My father Gil broke his leg and couldn't get into the woods, so I set a trap and hunted Giva.... I couldn't harvest my fangs and horns because I was just a child's giva, but I saved my family's life with that meat."

"Bubba......" the toddler turns his head.

Looking at you, the girl snapped "... you're small".

"I've never seen such a small child up close. You can walk even if you're so small."

"I'm small, but I'm two years old now, so hey... I can walk much better than this bitch..."

"Yeah," the girl puts on the head of her nose.

"Besides, I've never seen anyone as old as you. My hair is so white."

"The woman, it's almost eighty. Hey. I've lived too long..."

"To live long is a good thing. That hair is beautiful, too."

"Thanks hey... but your hair, too, is so beautiful...?

"Nothing. I don't have to be beautiful. I had better have black hair like my father Gil."

"Oh no... Beautiful hair is a pride to the ladies...?

"I'm a hunter. I want to be stronger than prettier."

He turns again into a grumpy face and flies his gaze towards the area where he was lurking until just now.

"That's why I was practicing climbing trees. When Gibba attacked me and I was in danger, my father Gill taught me how to climb a tree."

"Hmm... how old are you...?

"Soon, it will be eleven. If it will be thirteen, I will enter the woods with my father Gil. So by then, I'll have to be more of a hunter."

"I see... Speaking of which, this kid's brother is 13, and this is the first time I've been out in the woods before..."

"Really? It's a fine thing."

And, after nodding with an adult expression, the girl looked back at the old woman wonderfully.

"Old man, you don't laugh or get angry when you say I'll be a hunter in the ladies"

"I don't know... I only know what's right for me, so I don't laugh..."

"Yeah," the girl puts on her nose head again.

"Old man."

"I am Ziba-Lou... this child is Rimi-Lou, my grandson.... What's your name...?

"I am the Ai-Fa of Fa's house"

After answering that, the girl - Ai-Fa - opened her big eyes so wide.

"Ziba-Lou. Were you from the Lew family? I've heard that the settlement of Lou is much further south."

"Oh, this rimi, I don't like to walk far. I followed you all the way here... Is your house around here, Ai-Fa...?

"Fa's house, more north. I practiced flying from tree to tree, and I came all the way here."

"Right. The woods have led us..."

I don't know, tilting my neck in the wind, and then Ai-Fa said, "It's Ziba-Lou, of the house of Lou".

"If you didn't like it, would you let me touch that hair?

"I don't mind... but why...?

"Uh... because it's glowing silver and it's so beautiful," Ai-Fa says, clutching her lips.

"Right. Thanks hey... Limi, I'm tired, so why don't we get some rest...?

"Yeah!"

Stopping at the end of the road, the old woman, Ziba-Lou, and the toddler, Rimi-Lou, sit back on the grass.

Thus, when Ziba-Lou nodded, Ai-Fa knelt in front of the old woman in a slightly naughty manner, taking the long silver-haired tip tied to her left and right.

"Beautiful. Glittering."

Bringing a much age-appropriate innocent smile, Ai-Fa teased her fingertips with glowing silver hair on that leaky day.

Then.

Rimi-Lou, who was sitting next to Ziba-Lou, rose up hiccupulously and began to punch Ai-Fa in the head from the side.

"Kami. Beautiful."

"Ouch. What are you doing?"

"Your hair is beautiful too... if you like, why don't you let me touch it...?

I = fa frowned scratchy and then still leaned his neck a little lower to do it.

Rimi-Lou cheeks on that golden-brown hair as he shouts "Yikes".

"This child is a strange child."

"That's not true. I can't believe I'm two years old..."

"I don't think it was like this"

When Ai-Fa raised her face on the top of the Buddha, Rimi-Lou lowered her head with a full smile.

And sit tight next to Ziba-Lou again.

"Why don't you get some rest, too, Ai-Fa?... If you like, you can go with this woman...?

"Okay," he nodded, ai-fa lowering his hips next to Limi-Luu.

"Ziba-Lou. I've been a little strange."

"Yeah? What...?

"Why hasn't Ziba-Lou given his parents' last names? The only women who don't have sex in their names who have entered their wives are those who have lost their families?

"Oh, did your mother lose her family...?

"That's right. My mother May lost all her family. So he entered Fa's house, and afterwards became the wife of his father Gil."

An eye glowing like a bobcat stares at the old woman's serene face.

"But if it was a house as big as Lew's, wouldn't you welcome such a small clan of women to your daughter-in-law? Yet I thought it strange that your name didn't bear your last name"

"Nothing strange... I was originally from Lew's house..."

"Really?... but you just called this Rimi-Lou the son of a grandson. You're not going to be my daughter-in-law, you mean you took my son-in-law?

"Oh yes... I lost all my brothers in my youth, so the only way to protect Lew's blood was for me to take my son-in-law..."

"So, were you, like, a parent?

Eye-Fa's eyes open to surprise.

The old woman laughed with a very quiet look.

"It was decades ago... my grandson is the parent now..."

"Wow, this is the first time I've ever seen a woman with a head of household."

Hands on the grass, Ai-Fa embarks on herself.

Rimi-Lou said, "Huh?," he looked up at the face wondering.

"Now then, if the men went so far, they'd go into every other house with their family... but all my brothers got poked and killed by Giva, but only my father's parents were alive and well, so I really wanted to protect Luu's blood... nothing to do with me, I didn't want to be a parent..."

"Really? But that's amazing."

The old woman looked back calmly at the face of the girl whose eyes sparkled with admiration.

"Well, I could be surrounded by so many families that maybe that was the right path... but by then, I didn't know what was right. I've been worried that there might be a better way... and I still don't know that..."

"Really," Ai-Fa said, again with a slight expression, pulling herself back.

And then I look at the old lady with an upper hand, letting her lips hang out again for a bit.

"... if you've reminded me of something sad, I apologize. I didn't mean to grieve you."

"I'm fine... you're a sweet daughter, Ai-Fa..."

"Nothing, not gentle," Ai-Fa said, holding both knees.

Keep it up, drop your dark eyes on the yellow ground.

"... would you listen to Fa's house, Ziba-Lou?

"Oh. Let me ask you anything..."

"Thank you," Ai-Fa said, cuddling her own knees.

"... Mother May is weak, so she can't have any more children than me"

"Yeah, really..."

"So in the future, I'm told I'm going to have to go to my wife or take my son-in-law, but I want to be a hunter. I want to be a hunter, support my father Gil, and protect my mother May"

"That's good. It's a fine thing..."

"But then my mother cries when Fa's blood runs out. Even if I go to my daughter-in-law and lose Fa's last name, if I become a son, the blood of my father and mother will continue."

Strong emotional light swirls again into the eyes of the girl who sees the yellow ground.

"Is it happier for my mother to go to her daughter-in-law or take a son-in-law and leave a bloodstream than for me to be a hunter and protect my mother...?

"... that's all your mother knows..."

From under his thick covered eyelids, the old woman's clear eyes stared at the girl.

"And you only know what happiness is to you... so you just have to find the right path for yourself..."

"... the right path for me"

"Oh. Being tied to a man and holding my son in his chest, and protecting his family as a hunter and decaying into the woods, I guess that's both a happy path... of that path, I'll have to take my time to find out which is the right one for me..."

…………

"I can be a hunter when I'm thirteen. Fifteen years old is allowed to wed. We still have time, don't we?... I guess you're going to know all kinds of worlds, so you just have to find them all and then move on to what seems right..."

"Right. I think you're right."

Saying, Ai-Fa stood up.

That's how I looked back at Ziba-Lou, with a very innocent and unusual smile on its face.

"It's good to see you, Ziba-Lou. I thought there were only dignified people in a house as big as Lou's, but today I could know they weren't"

"Are you leaving now...?

"Mm-hmm. It's time to go back and help my mother Mae with her work"

"Well, let's go home too..."

For the crooked old lady, Ai-Fa did it with her body supported.

Thus, on the road illuminated by the leaking day, we turn again.

"Hey, another blur," Rimi-Lou pulled Ai-Fa's finger.

Ai-Fa compares Rimi-Lou to Ziba-Lou as baffled.

"Ziba-Lou. Would I have played with this Rimi-Lou today?

"Come on... for Limi, I guess it was..."

"Well," Ai-Fa lifted her golden brown hair on her forehead.

"Then when I practice crossing trees again, I decide to head south"

"Then we'll head north when we go for a walk too..."

Bye. Bye. See you.

The girl returned north, and the old woman and toddler returned south.

So until a few years later the old lady weakened her legs and couldn't walk outside, they kept growing up a bud of fraternity without anyone interrupting her.
