Rhemic Empire (2)

Alaria already knew what she was going to buy, so choosing the products didn't take her much time. After making sure everything was in place, she approached the saleswoman and prepared the required amount.

— Thank you for your purchase! — said the saleswoman, giving Alaria her change. — Come again!

She waved goodbye to Tiella from the doorway.

Minos Kalamansi's speech on the main street was in full swing. Judging by the leaflets that his hired young people were handing out to passersby, his petitions to the government today aimed at repealing the ban on deadly Tournaments, allowing brothels to open, and manufacturing and using substances prohibited in the empire.

— ... Regardless of how a person earns their living, they benefit society. Without people working in the fields, we would starve; without employees in the mining industry, we wouldn't be able to produce anything. And a simple janitor is one of the most noble and useful professions for society. No one wants to live in filth, and everyone feels better when the streets they walk on are clean and pleasant to look at. But there are also useless and even harmful "professions" in our country. People who sit on their backs all day and do nothing but come up with new restrictions and prohibitions for the society that has entrusted them with the reins of power over the country. And the money they receive is, of course, higher than that of the same janitor. The citizens of the empire are educated and independent individuals, so they don't need a group of freeloaders deciding what they can and cannot do.
...
Minos Kalamansi's speech continued for some time before ending. The man thanked the listeners for their attention and the signatures collected, after which everyone began to disperse.

First, the gang decided to go to "Ultimate Luck."

Entering the establishment he had chosen, the Areidians found themselves in a room resembling a gambling den. There, sitting on a comfortable crimson-colored sofa, was a fashionably dressed Nihonjin; around him were menacing-looking men in business suits. One stood behind the bar, while others acted as security guards. A very "modestly" dressed girl served drinks. Noticing the newcomers, the leader turned his attention to them and smiled.

— Welcome to Ultimate Luck, guys! I haven't seen you before, but it doesn't look like you're new to the capital — your eyes have that experienced look. But where are my manners? Have a seat. I am Kawakami Ryunosuke, pleased to meet you.

Elrina decided to visit this particular location of the main official faction residence of Reima.

In the eastern block of the palace, Elrina was led to Alice DimmLight, the coordinator of actions for the supporters of Sonata Reima.

After finishing with the formalities, she asked if Elrina would be willing to dedicate her time and help to solve the problems that had arisen in the city.
