After wiping the table surfaces with alcohol, Laikos easily lifts it.

Beata clapped her hands.
“Wonderful! Excellent! Considering the size of the table, this is already very impressive! You can spin it or toss it around, see for yourself. Or you can put chairs or some barrels on top...”
Beata looks around to see if any materials remain from the stage construction. If there are a couple of logs left, they could be used to make some good weights.

The sorceress recruited by Beata arrives at Carneol’s headquarters.
“Oh! Finally, someone else besides those three ugly ones has shown up,” Dahs rejoiced and ran to slap the newcomer on the butt, but for some reason, he slapped not her, but Gion. “Eh?? How did that happen? Ugh…”

Beata understood what had happened and, with a smirk, showed the sorceress a thumbs-up.
Gion also understood what had happened. Considering that one of the performers he had recruited was a lady from high society, he decided that things couldn’t continue like this.
“Okay, buddy. From our conversation, I understand that Beata has no plans for you, and she has given you the promised reward. So, either you go about your business peacefully, or, if you want to watch the rehearsal, you sit in the very back row, fold your hands, and sit quietly, because something tells me that if you gape during rehearsals, something will fly into your mouth,” he said with a mysterious smile.
