"Let's schedule something for tomorrow." You said.

"YES! I mean, ahem, that's good." She replied, her ears giving a few happy twitches. "Thank you."

"No problem." You smiled at her.

"I'll only be free in the morning since I have classes in the day and I need to collect some herb samples in the evening for an assignment." She looked up at the ceiling. "Finding natural forests can be more challenging than expected, especially in cities like these. I've always found that strange since I've heard that tons of elves make their home in Centria."

"They're mostly bureaucrats. Take my advice and don't become one of them." You recommended, remembering how miserable some of the elves were back at the IDCA.

"Um, sure?" She tilted her head in confusion. "I can't really see myself doing paperwork that isn't homework, anyway. That sort of thing is usually handled by my parents or older siblings or the bishops and priests under my da- uh, I mean, the people we hire usually handle that stuff."

"But still, thank you for the advice. I haven't made any friends here..."

"Hey, you've already got a friend." You pointed a thumb at yourself.

"That actually means a lot." She giggled. "So, back to when we're gonna start courtin- uh, start hanging out! Is there any place you want to go? I know of a few restaurants that are supposed to have genuine elvish food, but they aren't that good compared to the real thing..."

>"There's a cafe me and my wives usually visit."
>"I recently bought one of those flying island things. There's a small tower on it with a great view of all Centria."
>"My wife Ayane has connections to a fancy restaurant. They'll serve us a nice breakfast there for free."
>"We could take a few flying ferries around the city and take in the sights. No need to just stay in one place."
>"Those elvish restaurants sound interesting."

You two continue to speak and confirm the place you decided to go to, and with your wives chiming in once in a while the eventual idea of bringing your harem along was brought up. Aila said that she wouldn't mind if you brought them with, since they seemed pretty close to you and she "didn't want to get in the way of you guys". The rest of your wives seemed fine with whatever you decided, though you knew them well enough to know that some of them might get clingy with you.

>Sure, you'd bring your wives along.
>No, you'd give them some gold so they could go shopping again. (Uses up 70g)

After this you went to the laboratories of the Academy, with the rest of your wives (and Yumi) accompanying you as they all talked with you and with each other.

"You're all meeting Todred?" Aila still walked by your side.

"Yeah." You replied. "You're gonna go see him too?"

"No. But I am going to the lab to get some materials." She said. "Honestly, I should be the one that's surprised! The fact that he's willing to meet with others so openly is weird."

"It is?" Ayane asked with a frown.
