The rainy season brought multiple changes to the forest’s edge—Asuta suffered from a serious illness that he just barely managed to overcome, a number of new ingredients became available (while others vanished from the market) leading to the invention of multiple new recipes, and a new path was even cleared all the way through the forest’s edge! However, with the rainy season finally coming to a close, another round of changes are soon to come.

This time, matters of romance will be shaking the forest’s edge in some major ways. What will happen when love blooms between the forest’s edge and the castle town, or a member of a clan under the Ruu falls for someone from the northern clans? And finally, a grand celebration is on the horizon, combining a festival of the hunt with the elder Jiba Ruu’s birthday!

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