The next morning, it was time for Peach and the others to start heading back to the city to give their report to Reiko and the Coven Council. Even if they wanted to stay longer, it wasn't a great idea, with the Council waiting on them and the Academy starting classes again after the break.
If they didn't return, the Council would start thinking that the Fae Forest was dangerous and hostile, and that was the last thing that they wanted. Wolfe had agreed to load them up with the supplies that the Council wanted, including a barrier array, plenty of guns for the guards and a large area [Garden Charm] that the Second Rank Witches were going to work on together.
The Witches had gotten their end of the job done early this morning as soon as the breakfast service started, but an hour later, they still hadn't seen Wolfe come down to eat.
