At last, the sun god's revival festival has arrived! And with it, Asuta and company face all sorts of challenges. Their stalls have seen a great deal more business than expected, forcing them to adjust. They've had new encounters, most notably with the members of the Gamley Troupe. And they've even had to fend off bandits!

However, the festival is only just beginning, and there's plenty more to come! What will happen when some truly unexpected people of the forest's edge visit the post town? Why is Shin Ruu specifically being summoned to the castle town alongside Asuta and company? And what will the celebrations for the coming of the new year be like?

See all this and more in the exciting twenty-first volume of Cooking with Wild Game!
