Ep. 5: Marx Retires as Prime Minister While Kazuya Dines with Liscia and Aisha

A gelin creature is prepared into a dish resembling kudzu noodles. Marx announces his retirement as prime minister, recommending Hakuya for the position. Kazuya accepts this change but assigns Marx a less demanding role to utilize his political experience. He advises Hakuya to take the afternoon off, suggesting he take Liscia on a date accompanied by Aisha as bodyguard. Aisha reminds Kazuya to visit her forest, where some elves refuse to cut trees despite the benefits. The trio disguises themselves in military academy uniforms and visits the café where Juna works. During the meal, Aisha reveals a secret gluttonous nature comparable to Poncho. Kazuya learns that polygamy is legal and socially acceptable. Liscia states she would allow up to eight wives, ensuring she sees him at least one day a week. Kazuya considers this while overhearing an argument between a young lady and a man at the next table.
