“Asuta, do you intend to go to the Ruu’s house?
It is now night
After saying “I will co her head, Rimi Ruu went back
“It’s okay to reply at that ti”
After cleaning the dishes and cookwares in the iron pot, there are no other task to do
Usually, we just talk a little and then go to sleep ――Ai Fa had been silent for a long ti an expressionless face
I have to acquire the common sense of this world
That’s why, last time before I went to bed, Ai Fa told doms and Gods, the tih she did talk about
Then, finally we started to talk, it’s the starting word
Sitting against the ith her eyes directed to the darkness outside the , she didn’t look at me
In the dark the fire on the candlestick fall, with only the stove fire to rely, I answered quietly while looking at her strangely cold face from the side
“I want to try to go…I think”
I would like to try serving the food I h it’s a request from the desperate Rimi Ruu, but when I heard about it, it isn’t a really complicated talk
Jiba Ruu is an old woe of 85 that has lost most of her teeth to the point where she can’t eat any solid food anymore
Currently, she only had a diet consisted of thinly etablesevery day
“There is no point if you try to prolong your life by injecting this mud-like juice in your mouth”
It is said that she shed tears everyday saying that
Even though she lived well until a couple years ago, now her mind had completely weakened
I guess it’s soest daughter
If I think about that sentio
“But, you can’t agree right, Ai Fa?”
When I asked, as expected Ai Fa answered with a voice that I can’t feel any emotion in it
(TL : instead of just emotionless, the author did write it like this)
“Although the one that reigns as the patriarch of the Morihen people is the Sun family, Ruu family member’s size is also not inferior Also, both families had feuds in the past”
“Feuds?”
“About 20 years ago, a man from the Sun family kidnapped a woh the Ruu’s ot into the Sun’s house with swords, but Sun family’s predecessor said that it’s this woe We will judge the sinners according to the law, to say it siive back her remains”
“”
“Perhaps the girl was tortured so she died by killing herself But since there was no witness, the Ruu fa their swords…If the Sun and Ruu fa war that will divide Morihen into tith both being destroyed But if Sun fairl, Ruu Family would have taken their swords They didn’t take their swords to honor the dead And then both families sever their fellowshi+p And the feud is still unsolved even now”
“It’s a sickening story Is the Sun faathered?”
“Who knows At least on the Patriarch lineage, good for nothing man aren’t born”
Ai Fathe same face and tone
“And then, 2 years ago, is the when the dispute between a Sun happened Ruu Fae to Ruu main family”
“W, What?”
“If I accepted, Sun family’s men will not be able tothat time will be the time when Sun family be destroyed That’s why I turned down that talk and sever my fellowshi+p with Ruu family”
“Ahso what you mean is that you don’t want to be the cause of war”
“Without borrowing the power of Ruu faa Sun I don’t have any intention of entering fellowshi+p with either house”
”I see I understand That's why, you are can't be happy with your position right now thatafter want to help Ruu family,
I sigh deeply
Then Ai Fa turned toward the other way just like that and twisted her
It was a way of s that is not Ai Fa-like
”However, you still wanted to be Riht, Asuta?”
”Un?Well, that certainly is That Riood child and I feel like I want tofood”
”Right It's okay to do what you want to”
”Eh?”
”It's a simple talk If you want to save Rimi Ruu and Jiba Ruu, you can just break this relationshi+p with me And then this time, you can be looked after by Ruu faht?”
”What is that? Why did you suddenly talk like the other party is a casually loose girl”
I shrug ain
”I a about that, I am really sorry, but I will refuse any request from Rimi Ruu”
”What?”
”No matter how cute child she is, I just randhtof you as a cold person, if itworse, I can't help”
”Why?”
Ai Fa turned over with a great momentum
Her face has been frozen due to intense surprises
This is ht, I made a surprised face for the other party that that has a serious air
”If you ask me, that is of course you are more important than the people I just s, stupid”
””
”What is it? It's bad if I get involved with the people froht?”
