When we arrived at the Fou settlement, we found that the women were still working hard. There was a little over an hour left until sunset, when the banquet would begin, so they were in the midst of the last push to get ready.

Their plaza was definitely smaller than the one at the Ruu settlement, but it was still a really nice space for gatherings. And just like during a festival of the hunt, it was filled with excitement.

Firewood was piled up in the center of the plaza for a ritual flame, and there were simple stoves constructed all around it. There was even a whole-roast giba cooking on top of one of them.

They must’ve been working on the other dishes in the kitchens of the various houses. I could see women hurriedly running between the houses holding ingredients and pots and the like. It felt like it had been quite a while since I’d been able to watch other chefs hustling around like that as an outsider.

There were also a few children setting up bonfires around the perimeter of the plaza. They were the boys and girls too young to work as either hunters or chefs. The Fou and Ran didn’t allow children under the age of ten to handle fire or blades.

“Let’s go say hello at the main house,” I suggested.

After stopping the wagon at the entrance to the plaza, I stepped down alongside Ai Fa and Brave. Then we cut across the plaza, pulling the wagon behind us, smiling and saying hello to the people we passed along the way. Today, the Fou, Ran, and Sudra woman were all hands on deck manning the stoves.

“Excuse us. Is anyone home?” I called out while knocking on the main Fou house’s door. However, there wasn’t any answer. It seemed that there wasn’t anyone in the main part of the house at the moment.

We circled around to the back where the kitchen was located. The place was like a battlefield. It was the biggest kitchen in the settlement, so there were an especially large number of people gathered there.

“Asuta, Ai Fa. Hey there. Welcome to the Fou house. You’re rather early, aren’t you?” a middle-aged woman who looked like she was in charge said with a smile. She was the wife of the Fou clan head, Baadu Fou.

“Looks like you’re working hard here. We brought our wooden plates as promised. What do you want us to do with them?”

“Ah, I really appreciate it. We’ll distribute them ourselves, so could you just leave them by the entrance?”

“Got it.”

None of the other clans owned as many plates as the Ruu and Fa. We had several boxes full of them in the wagon, but as we were unloading them, a woman approached us, her eyes opening wide as she said, “Oh my. I almost didn’t recognize you in those gorgeous banquet clothes, Ai Fa.”

“I may be a hunter, but I am still an unmarried woman, so my noisy clan member talked me into dressing up for tonight.
