That's right!" Mel added. "And there's, uh, some special fae ability I'm learning that needs me to be in the estate!" Your beguiler laughed nervously. "Which means we need you here, Master! Because... I want to show it to you?"

"Oi, Gerty, didn't you find some tin or iron shit on the clankers' foots?" Cattleya meowed, changing the subject.

"I did." Gerty revealed, successfully getting your attention.

"Which means we should at the very least return here soon, no?" Ruby Rose took the thought to its conclusion. "To ensure that we can trace the area where it originated from, before any natural disasters ruin our plans."

"Well I'm ok with going to Centria for the rest of the week." Bertha said, getting some annoyed looks from the rest of your wives. "I mean, like, I can still make the armor while we're in Centria. Sure, it'll be harder since I wouldn't have the forge stuff this place has, but it's still my skill, so I can, like, make more armor and stuff."

"Bertha." Mel gave your warrioress a deadpan so strong that it could've killed an entire kitchen of cooking utensils. "Are you for real?"

"I knew that this could happen." Ruby muttered.

"Huh?" Bertha gave your beguiler a blank stare. That was when the proverbial lightbulb lit up on her head. "Wait a sec, that's right! We were all planning to give Master-"

"HEY MASTER!" Herta suddenly shouted, drawing close to you after shoving a load of bread into Bertha's mouth. "I just thought of an idea on how to bring ventilation to the aluminum stuff underground! It might be a little complicated, but with some Lunacy Savantae..."

Your wives were all so cute.

Anyway, would you go to Centria this week?

>Yes, but only for a day. It was enough time to at least see the lectures and meet with some people.
>Yes and you'd stay there for a while. (Will interrupt everyone's weekly actions)
>No, you'd skip it this time. Even if that means you won't be there for these specific lectures.
>(Write-in).

While Centria held your interest, it didn't change the fact that Gerty had might've found something important. She talked about how, when practicing with the clankers on how she'd purge the Monster Room, she happened to find clay and black sand attached to their legs. After some more inquiries, you figured that there were likely some softer areas that contained iron and tin were either in nearby sandy shores of the sea and/or by some rivers in the forest.

You considered how useful it could be for the future.

>Have Mel look into it next week. She had a very detailed mind, maybe she might find something else. (Uses up Mel's action next week)
>Send Cattleya to survey the areas. Your catgirl had enough animal instincts to accurately pinpoint the location. (Uses up Cattleya's action next week)
>(Write-in).
