Two of Aoi’s new friends have been acting strangely ever since the guests from their rival inn Orio-ya arrived at Tenjin-ya. With the Ōdanna’s support, Aoi decides some gentle meddling is in order. But while her good intentions seem helpful at first, she ends up biting off way more trouble than she can chew!
When staff members from rival inn Orio-ya show up at Tenjin-ya to retrieve Ginji, Aoi isn’t about to let them take her friend. But her impetuous attempt at a rescue ends up with her spirited away to the Southern Lands! Now Aoi must find a way to navigate a new, hostile situation without the support of the friends she’s grown so used to at Tenjin-ya. Good thing she can always count on the power of good food!
Aoi has been more or less abducted by the staff of the rival inn Orio-ya, and it’s clear she’s not getting back to Tenjin-ya anytime soon. As long as Aoi has access to a kitchen and good ingredients, she’s willing to stick around. But now she and her new friends, the twin crane chefs, have been given a momentous task—cater to a super-picky rain woman’s palette or risk the destruction of the Southern Lands!
