"I can get the signatures myself." You declared.

"No no, we insist-" Kalman began.

"It's fine, really," You cut him off, "I would not want to waste the good bureaucrats' time, now would I." You stated.

"I am certain that you have many connections to use to confirm your Lunacy Savantae." Wilcur nearly sneered out.

"You'd be correct." You confirm, much to both the gnomes' surprise. "I'm sure I can have some very important people confirm that I'm a Savant. And I'm sure they very much appreciate your precision in our business matter."

Wilcur was about to respond, but Kalman put a hand on his shoulder and whispered something to him. They both looked at you with slimy smiles again.

While Elre seemed annoyed Joldmac glanced between you and the gnomes curiously. Pietro however was amused by the proceedings.

After getting the proper paperwork you bid them a good day and made your leave with all your wives.

===

You were flying in The Vixen's Luck, making surprisingly good time. It was fortunate your airship didn't have to deal with the congested airlanes the flying ferries had to contend with. Mel said that you'd all get there with time to spare at this rate.

While Ruby, Ayane, Mel, and Gerty looked over the paperwork the rest of your wives would either rest or work the ship's insides. You found the time to speak with Yumi.

"..." You saw her glance at you from the crystal.

"So, what's up?" You ask her.

"What do you mean 'what's up'? You have me where you want me." She huffed.

"Do you want me to make your crystal spin like a top?" You asked.

"Do whatever you want." Yumi grumbled. "It's not like I can't do anything, Maste-" She stopped herself.

"You know, you haven't spoken about cursing anyone or getting me to become your acolyte in a while." You said.

"Look, I'm just-" She clears her throat. "I am embroiled in the tempestuous whirlpool of thoughts! Fear not, Savant, for the shadows of contemplation shall not engulf me!"

"Right." You said. "You sure you're not gonna talk about how you wanna take over my estate or something?"

"Didn't I just say I wasn't?!?!" She nearly shouted. "We both know I can't fight against you! I might be better off with you, actually!"

"Thank you for confirming that." You replied with a shit-eating grin.

"I- wha-" Yumi was stunned for a few seconds. Her face, strangely enough, became flushed. She gave a defeated sigh before haughtily declaring she was going to rest for a few hours, and to disturb her "Would spell certain doom!"

A few minutes after that you found Ruby Rose and Gerty approaching you.

"My gallant Master~" She bowed. "I come here to brief you on the papers you've so graciously allowed us to look over."

"Sir!" Gerty saluted. "Forgive us in advance for any incompetence on our parts!"

"I'll reserve my judgement." You said coldly to Gerty, which made her gain a devoted fire in her eyes. You then turned to Ruby. "Madame, if you would continue." You made you words drip like honey.
