I finish showering and get dressed. I put on a nice shirt and jeans. I finish getting ready and check the time. I see I still have fourteen minutes before noon. I also see I have a text. I open it up and see it's from Myla. She started a group chat with Hino and me. She's asking if they should meet me at my Domain or somewhere else, and what kind of clothes she should wear. I'm about to say they should meet me here when I remember Verona and Gaia are here. I text them saying to meet at the park entrance and to wear casual clothes. They immediately respond, saying they're on their way. I go outside and walk to the park. I decided against riding my bike since I live closer. I get to the entrance and look for the girls. I don't see them so I walk over to a nearby tree. I lean against it and wait for the girls. It doesn't take long for Myla to show up. I see her walking down the sidewalk looking around. She doesn't seem to notice me yet. She has her silver hair tied up in a ponytail. She has a white t-shirt, that hugs her chest tightly. She has grey shorts on and white tennis shoes. I step out from under the tree.

"Hey Myla, you look great." I say while walking over to her. She blushes a little and I smile.

"T-thanks. What's the plan for today?" She asks.

"You'll see. But first, we need to wait for Hino." I say and she nods.

"How was your morning?" She asks and I shrug.

"It was productive. I managed to get some good items for the Guild." I say and Myla nods.

"That's good. How's the Guildhall coming?"

"It's going good. Asamis handling most of it. I'm really lucky to have her. She said it'll be ready tomorrow or on Monday. The realtors close on the weekends, so it'll just depend on if they get the paperwork done before they close tomorrow." I say and she smiles.

"I'm excited to see what you do with the place. And the land around it. Do you have any plans for that?"

"Not yet. I'm not going to worry about that until we finish setting it up." I reply and feel someone hug me from behind.

"That's smart." I hear Hino say and smile.

"Hey, Hino." Myla says while she lets go and walks around me. I see she has on a similar outfit to Myla. She has a blue crop top with denim shorts. I get taken aback when I see her abs. She's got a six-pack and doesn't seem shy to show it. Her shorts seem to barely be able to contain her ass. She turns to me and smiles, knowing I was checking her out.

"Did I make you two wait?" She asks and I shake my head no.

"I just got here a few minutes ago. Myla only got here a minute before you." I say and she smiles.

"So, what do you have planned?" Hino asks.

"That depends, are you two hungry?" I ask them.

"Yeah, I haven't eaten since before training." Hino says and Myla chuckles.

"Same, I did almost eat something before coming here." She says and I smile.

"Then we'll start with lunch. Oh! Do either of you have any food allergies?" I ask while walking past them, going the way Myla came from.

"No, I don't. What about you Hino?" Myla asks and Hino shakes her head no. They follow me as I lead them toward our destination.

"Oh, Eric. Before I forget, my father wanted me to ask if you can join us tomorrow morning for training. He just wants to see how you do without magic." Hino asks as we walk.

"Sure, but what do you mean by that? Does he want to spar without using magic?" I ask, after making sure no one was around. Fortunately, most people are still at work, and most students are with friends. So the sidewalks are devoid of people.

"Yeah, we use training weapons. Like wooden swords or padded gauntlets. He just wanted to see how strong you are without magic. But he said it's fine if you decline." She says and I nod.

"That's fine, let him know I'll be there. Should I go to your place tomorrow morning?"

"No, we have our training at the joint guild hall. So you can meet us there. My father and I will be there too." Myla answers as I stop.

"Okay, and we're here." I say and they look at the restaurant we stopped at.

"You're taking us to Olive Garden?" Myla asks and I nod.

"Do you not like it?" I ask a little worried.

"No, I do. I just thought we'd get something and go to your Domain." She replies.

"Oh, well I've heard good things about this place. I thought now would be a good time to try it."

"You haven't been here before?" Hino asks and I shake my head no.

"I've never been a big fan of restaurants. I've always preferred food that I can toss in a pan or the oven." I reply while walking towards the door. I open it and we enter. We walk up to the host who is already looking at us.

"Welcome to Olive Garden. Is it just the three of you or are you expecting company?" He asks with a smile.

"No, it's just us." I say and he nods. He grabs three menus and motions for us to follow him.

"Right this way, I'll show you to your seats." He says and we follow him. He seats us at a table for 4. He places two menus on one side and one on the other. "Your waiter will be with you shortly." He says before walking back the way we came.
