Idir and Setan arrived at the pearl market in the city at almost the exact same time.
The entire district was overflowing with single males selling pearls, while countless others wandered from stall to stall searching for the perfect one to buy.
The broad avenue was packed shoulder to shoulder with beastmen.
Idir and Setan browsed carefully from shop to shop, meticulously selecting the pearls they wanted.
Not long afterward, Yanai and the other mates arrived as well, quickly spotting the two of them in the crowd.
"That damned snake and lion are here too," Sal muttered darkly.
"Ignore them. Let's choose our own," Odian replied calmly.
Whether those two would even get the chance to give their pearls away was still uncertain.
"We should all buy different colors," Kith suggested. "Otherwise, Nina won't know who gave which necklace."
The males immediately agreed.
After a brief discussion, they split up to choose individually.
