Chapter 424 – Foggy Northern City (9)
At the end of Ulster’s anti-Confucian emotional overthrow, we were once ushered into the cabin.
The cabin was a space full of life.
There was a place that looked like a living room and a master bedroom, and herbs were being dried on the wall. The kitchen was outside, but there were no tables or chairs in the living room. Maybe it’s a sedentary culture.
Fortunately, it was a place to take off your shoes, so we sat on the animal skin carpet on the floor.
[… Dana. Did you eat?]
[Ah, yes. I picked up a dry amount in the morning and ate it.]
[Dry measure? Where did you get the beef jerky? If it’s not a hunting day, you can say you’ve eaten if you have to eat the soup.]
Perhaps the Britannian was not fluent, but the father-in-law prepared the meal while speaking Ulster.
Fran, who flinched as if to help, sat down again. It seemed like it was because they weren’t in a relationship that would narrow things down so drastically yet. Because our wives are deep in thought.
─Paba Park!
The craftsman was fast, but she didn’t use her magic.
Seeing how dry trees rubbed against each other in an instant to turn on the lights, it seemed like he could understand why Ulster didn’t develop magic technology. What does a lighter mean when you can become a diable jamb with your bare hands?
“Take a drink.”
“… I will eat it thanks.”
The breakfast menu consisted of soup and whole roasted dried meat.
The soup is red radish soup. It was a style with vegetables such as tomatoes and cabbage, not red pepper powder.
─Suck.
First of all, I had a big drink of soup.
It was my first time coming to the town, so I was worried about the taste, but I couldn’t eat it with a crackle.
‘What’s that? It’s a national rule for family gatherings to see family education at a dinner like this.’
Shibural. Seriously why didn’t you think it would be like this? I should have learned the etiquette of the Ulster branch through accelerated education.
I regret my lack of preparation, but I can’t help the past. I have no choice but to endure the ordeal that has come.
I drank the soup, paying attention not to make sound effects such as ‘Hurup’, ‘Cheop’, or ‘Dalgrak’.
It’s a situation where you don’t know the manners of the Ulster collateral region, so let’s follow the norms of my father’s home education at the table.
I don’t know if my father-in-law will understand the difference in culture.
“… Eh-hum.”
Fran also ate similarly, paying attention.
The radish soup was a great dish with a deeper taste than I thought.
‘But aren’t tomatoes weak against the cold?’
When I was living in Earth, my cousin’s cousin sent me a KakaoTalk message saying that ‘tomato farming was over.’
And even in this world, it was the same that the farther north you go, the colder it gets. Britannia also has temperature differences depending on the region.
Can tomatoes grow in a northern Pict village?
‘No, he must have used magic or something like that.’
Didn’t Hotulusil, the pigtail elf of Sargadis, sprinkle rain that restores intellect with the magic of making clouds?
It’s a curiosity that could be brought up as a topic if it wasn’t burdensome, but I can’t bring it up because I’m choking.
“… Yes. Are you thinking of marrying Dana?”
At that time, the father-in-law put down the spoon first and spoke.
There is pressure because a handsome person sets the mood. The son-in-law’s waist naturally stands up like Juji watching Dana’s sexy dance.
“Yes. The ceremony has yet to take place, but I intend to get married.”
“… Pudeuk.”
Excuse me, but I can hear your teeth grinding.
“Okay dear… ? She has three more wives besides Dana, and Dana is her second wife… ?”
“… I don’t intend to put her wives in order, but yes. That’s right.”
“Pud deuk… ! Fast deuk… !!”
Wow. Look at how brutal
I should at least leave Igatan at my father-in-law’s house.
‘Then, what if your teeth get cold in your old age?’
There are no implants in this world.
“Yes… A capable man can do that. Arm… !!! You can’t… !!! Deuk deuk… !!!”
Yes. I’m glad the spoon is made of iron. Like that, it seems that even if it is crumpled, it will be able to open it again, as if Yun Gella had beaten her venom.
“Whoa… I have many questions to ask… My daughter notices, and my wife is also away, so I’ll do it later.”
The artisan stood up bloody feet on the white as if she had one shot of her ice magma with added whipping, and she groaned like a beast cry.
─Exactly!
“Kheuk, Kheuk… !”
The father-in-law stopped her and put her spoon down on her table, and her francs were slightly lifted into her throat. He seemed surprised after holding his breath.
I didn’t dare to move first because I was in the state of being aimed at my father-in-law’s eyes like in a western movie. So Dana quickly noticed and patted Fran on the back.
“Oh, Fran. Drink water here.”
“Kheuk, ehuk… ! Yes. Thanks…”
─Clap, clap. I soothed Fran, who hurriedly drank water, and glared at my father, whom I hadn’t seen in 19 years, with my sharp ax eyes.
“Ah really, why have you been like this since before? If we haven’t seen each other in a while, isn’t it the first thing to talk about how you’ve been? No matter how much I haven’t been able to properly contact you for 19 years, that’s the case.”
“… Great.”
Her grown-up daughter’s ruthless attitude made the father-in-law shed tears.
The Picts are said to be a matrilineal society. If it was Dana at the age of 10, if she was scolded by her mother, the priest, Shira Lee, would have run to her father-in-law and comforted her.
That’s probably the only memory she had about Dana, but it seemed like she didn’t know what to do with her daughter, whom she hadn’t seen in a long time, since she had grown up and nagged at her.
But why do I agree I’m just getting bored
“… It looks good between her wives.”
“I fell for the same person. It’s just that your heart is right.”
The father-in-law laughed at Dana’s new answer.
“Looks like you’ve been doing well. “
“I came because I had something to say about that.”
Did the awkwardness go away thanks to me being beaten in the first place? Our Noonna treated her father whom she hadn’t seen in a very long time without hesitation, like a daughter who had only been studying abroad for a few months.
“Is that so? Mmm. Are you going to stay for a few days?”
And the father-in-law seems to be happy with his daughter’s attitude.
Well, it would be more heartbreaking to be treated awkwardly as a stranger.
“Yes. Once that… I plan to meet her mother too.”
“You don’t even call me mom anymore?”
“… If you’re the person I remember, won’t you care what I call you? No. When I get this old, mom~ mom~, if I run away from home and go out, I’ll say, “Why didn’t you take the train?”
“Dana. That is it.”
At her harsh evaluation, the father-in-law smiled bitterly at her and tried to say something about her, but we never heard him say it.
“The person in charge is telling me to come out!! Aren’t our words the same!!”
It was because the clattering noise made her ears sting.
It sounded like it echoed from far away.
“… What’s the fuss?”
Judging by her voice, she must have been wearing some kind of magic item, but when Dana spoke as if her ears were tickling, the adult father-in-law spurred her up and stood up.
“Like those damn bastards! Make a fuss in someone else’s village until this fine day!!”
He frowned as if he had heard the monster cry and picked up the knife in the living room.
“Dana! I’ll be back for a while, so wait!”
“How can you wait when it’s so noisy? I’ll go with you.”
Dana gets up, brushing her knees. The father-in-law swam in his eyes for a moment, then he said timidly.
“… Yes. It’s been a long time since I left the village, but you are also a villager. Come with me.”
“I will help too.”
When Fran and I got up, my father-in-law led the way and ran out of the house instead of continuing to say anything.
We ran to the place where the commotion was so loud, but already only the villagers, armed with ugly weapons, were camped out in front of the entrance.
“You guys have been occupying this land without permission!! This fertile land is not a place you can defile, so return it to its rightful owner and get out of the North!!”
The man who took out the money as if he had come to clean up the poor village was a man with a wizard-like hat on his head.
I was not an adventurer. He was a bastard who seemed like it would be prudent to run away to another dealership when he met a mean-looking staff-like face at a cell phone dealership or something.
Anyway, to his cry, the woman who seemed to be of the priestly class responded as if it was cramped.
“This village is the land where our ancestors lived hundreds of years ago! You have formed a loose relationship with the Britannia aristocrats, so why are you engaging in such violence!”
Glancing at her protesting her, the man on her gypsy rat let out a funny sneer.
“In the laws of our noble Britannia, land ownership cannot be claimed by effective right alone! All lands in Brittany belong to lords loyal to the royal family! Leave the squatters!”
“Boo, squatter, leave!!”
“Leave the squatters!! Leave the squatters!!”
The wizard shouted into the loudspeaker, and others repeated the words behind him.
Some were awkward as if they were shaking, but others were in a situation where they were shouting to tear their throats like some protesters.
“Huh.”
And I shook my head when I saw a well-dressed middle-aged man swaying and boasting among the crowd.
I haven’t heard any explanations yet, but it was ugliness that seemed like I knew roughly what was going on just by looking at it.
