[BZZZZAP!] Tch.

Wood that has already been cut should be hard to come by. They get used for other things that are more important than stalls. If we can obtain some from the trees in the forest, then that should be fine. Just be prepared for any of the monsters who live there.

Those that are too weak to fight should just stay behind. There are other things that you can do instead.

I would also like to know if there is any sake left, and who would be willing to donate it toward this festival.

The trees here are unusual. Usually it takes a lot longer for a sapling grow this much. ...Well, whatever.

[A pause, followed by the light clink of glasses in the background.]

Ah, that's right. Just a fair warning. Just because Shinjiro is out doesn't mean there's going to be sudden change in policy. I'm not doing anyone any special favors, so expect for pay for your drinks in full.

That means you, Ichinomiya Kantarou.

I'll be here throughout the week, so don't wait up for me. There is someone that I would like to introduce to you though.
