Asuta has experienced a great deal in the past year. He died, only to be spirited away to a brand new world, where he met Ai Fa, joined her clan, and became a person of the forest’s edge. He made all sorts of allies and took down intimidating foes like the Suun clan and Cyclaeus. He did a whole lot of cooking (including preparing food for nobles!), started running several stalls, and did business with inns.

Soon, it will be the one year anniversary of his arrival, but before that big milestone arrives, there is still so much to do! First, there is a dessert-making lesson in the post town. Then, Asuta and company visit Varkas’s castle town restaurant for dinner. The people of the forest’s edge will start selling giba meat at the local market, and perhaps most importantly of all, Asuta and Ai Fa celebrate his birthday alone together.

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