Facing the intense, emotion-filled gaze from Chiba Shigetarou, Aoto grinned.
"So... Mr. Shigetarou, you plan to rely on just you, me, Miss Sazanoko, and Mr. Chiba Domon Shiro—a total of four people to hold a swordsmanship demonstration? Isn't that a bit too few?"
"Four people are enough."
Chiba Shigetarou shook his head with a wry smile.
"The reason I'm planning to hold the swordsmanship demonstration with this few people... is because the space we can use for the demonstration is too small."
"The stalls at the fireworks festival can basically be described as worth their weight in gold."
Chiba Shigetarou held up two fingers.
"Even for me, I could only secure a stall of two tsubo size."
"With such a small stall, it only accommodates three or four people for the sword demonstration."
"If there are more people, we wouldn't even have a place to sit and rest."
