The girls insist on sharing Satou’s bed every night. The voice tells Satou to stop resisting and take all four of them but Satou announces Hime will always be most important and invites her on a date without the others. Alabaster nags Satou to have sex with Hime on the date, meanwhile Hime also secretly hopes for this. The date, secretly being watched by the other girls in disguises, keeps being interrupted by people eager to meet the Ring King. At a park popular with couples they attempt a kiss but Satou is too nervous to do it in public. The other girls leave, disappointed nothing happened. Nephrites is happy she, Granart, and Saphir are becoming friends. Hime tells Satou that while she enjoyed the date the reality is she cannot keep him for herself and advises him to include all his wives in the future. Satou kisses her and for a moment they are tempted to find a hotel, but come to their senses and return to the palace. The next morning, they depart for Idanokan, the kingdom of the dwarves high in the mountains who hold the Earth Ring. Unfortunately, after the last war with the Abyss King the dwarves were almost wiped out and the few survivors hid underground, so Alabaster is unsure if there even exists a surviving dwarf princess or if she even possesses the Earth Ring.
