Zero took a look around the cave. As usual, Zoe's food tasted fantastic! Even if Coux, Qin Yun and Amaraline were good cooks, nobody could win Zoe... maybe except for Lovina when it came to desserts. The Zashikiwarashi was blushing at the compliments everyone gave her that evening. Grandma Moppo announced that there would be a mandatory feast for all the villagers and nobody refused the invitation. Ruth and Schaf were also invited along with Hua Tuo and Zero- the main guest of the evening.
Everybody knew why there was such a grand feast. If Zero was still here by the end of the day, Grandma Moppo must have gotten her way. The feast is merely a formality to welcome Zero back into the village so nobody was expecting for Zero to stand up and give a speech while toasting juice.
"Good evening! Can I get everyone's attention for five minutes?"
