Chapter 2: The Genos Swordsmanship Tournament
1
It was now the twenty-fifth of the silver month, seven days after the contests of strength between Ai Fa and Lem Dom concluded. The castleâs swordsmanship tournament would be happening today.
After discussing the matter, we had ultimately decided that we should indeed go to the tournament grounds and do business there. We had been told to expect more customers than usual for the day, so we prepared roughly a thousand mealsâsimilar to the amount we made for the day of dawn at the beginning of the sun godâs revival festival. The tournament grounds were much farther away than the area where we usually worked, so we needed to leave home more than two hours earlier than normal in order to arrive by half past the upper fourth hour.
Still, it seemed we would finish up work in three hours or so like usual, so it wasnât all that much of a burden. We also planned to stay and watch to see how Shin Ruu and Geol Zaza did after we wrapped things up, and then return to the forestâs edge.
After all our preparations were finished, we headed to the Ruu settlement, where things seemed even more restless than usual. After stopping our wagon at the entrance to the plaza, I tilted my head and hurried over to the main house, which had a crowd gathered in front of it that included many women, children, and older folks from the branch houses.
âGood morning... Wow, you look really pretty today, Lala Ruu!â
âOh, be quiet! Iâm not putting on a show here!â Lala Ruu retorted, her face bright red as she stamped her feet with the crowd surrounding her.
She looked so beautiful, but I couldnât help thinking that the way she was acting felt really at odds with her appearance. Her clothes were the kind of banquet attire that I had only seen once before, at Gazraan and Ama Min Rutimâs wedding. She was wearing an iridescent shawl that was even finer than the one she wore during business hours, and her body was adorned with all sorts of accessories, including metal and stone ones bought from town, as well as flowers and berries gathered from the forestâs edge. What stood out most of all, though, was the hair ornament above her ear, made from a large yellow flower.
âOh, is that the one Shin Ruu gave you for your birthday?â
âJeez! I told you to be quiet already!â Lala Ruu shot back with a slap that I just barely managed to dodge.
Mia Lea Ruu was standing there beside her with a kind smile on her face. âEven when dressing up, you never seem to be able to act ladylike in the least... But it really does suit you well, Lala.â
Lala Ruu hung her head, still blushing. Her face was as red as her hair, which was hanging naturally rather than being put up in a ponytail. Her normal style made her seem kind of boyish, but now she looked a lot more feminine, fittingly so for a girl her age.
