We made it safely back to the Ruu settlement at half past the lower second hour.

We had four wagons transporting our comrades, while our guests rode in two. One of the wagons carrying six of our guests from town was being pulled by a totos that was mainly used to work Dora’s fields. It seemed to be fairly old, with its dark-brown plumage looking pretty raggedy. Even so, it was an essential part of Dora’s family, bringing Dora to and from town each day, and hauling the vegetables they grew to their storehouse.

“This is his first real trip in quite some time too, so he must be happy. Now then, you all take care getting down,” Dora said.

Their wagon was meant for transporting vegetables and had no roof. Tara and Yumi stepped down from its cargo bed, and Rimee Ruu immediately hurried over to them after exiting Ruuruu’s wagon. It was no surprise that she was so excited. She was finally getting the sleepover she had wanted for a long time. Tara and Rimee Ruu clasped each other’s hands tightly and beamed at each other with smiles so similar that they almost looked like sisters.

A box carriage had also come to a stop a small distance away, and the members of the Gamley Troupe promptly appeared from inside, in the order of Shantu (who had been holding the reins), Pino, Rolo, and Gamley. The traveling performers had finally come to the forest’s edge.

“Welcome to the Ruu settlement, dear guests. I must say, it’s been far too long. Our family owes all of you who come from the Daleim lands a great debt,” Mia Lea Ruu said in greeting as she approached us with a smile.

Dora smiled back at her while holding the reins of his totos and replied, “Not at all. We did have a bunch of you over during the revival festival just a few days ago. Not that I’m saying we’re visiting you today because we want you to repay us for that.”

“Oh, of course not. We don’t have much to offer in the way of hospitality, but please make yourselves at home. After all, there’s going to be a lot more people from the other clans around during your next visit.”

Three days from now, on the tenth of the silver month, we were throwing a banquet with twenty people from the clans subordinate to the Ruu planning to attend. The reason we were having it on that day was because we had the next day off from our work at the stalls, which would allow the members of the Ruu clan plenty of leeway to host such a large event.

As for why we had invited our guests from town to come over today in addition to having them join us for the banquet, that was because we had spent the night in the Daleim lands four times recently, so only having them over once in return wouldn’t be good enough to repay them—or so Rimee Ruu had firmly insisted, and Mia Lea and Donda Ruu hadn’t really offered any objections to the idea.
