The first exhibit turned out to be quite strange and unexpected. It wasn't entirely clear what such a photo was doing in a museum of curiosities, although for herself, Leila couldn't call it anything other than a curiosity. It was just very unusual to see Miss Hatiora sleeping on someone's lap, in a public place, with her feet on the table. Unfortunately, the identity of the impromptu bed for the theology teacher was unknown to the time mage, but there was nothing surprising about that – it was only logical that someone like Lorance wouldn't talk about his personal life. In fact, besides the former curator, the only familiar faces were Miho and Yukka, who were animatedly talking to one of the strangers, probably not even aware that they were in this museum. It would be worth asking them later about this meeting, about why it stuck in the organizer's memory. And how they even ended up in Claire's establishment, despite the ban on going into the city. Although, her experience at NAILS suggested that they simply wouldn't remember it. The second exhibit, although not bad, would certainly have caused great enthusiasm in someone like Gideon, but it paled in comparison to the strangeness of the first. However, it served as a good reminder that even the most amazing inventions may not gain widespread popularity. This pistol was, in its own way, a work of art and wouldn't look out of place in the previous hall. But it was placed here, most likely at the whim of Valeesa, who was next to it and drove a "Freedom," Rishi. To be honest, after everything that became known about the king, Leila would have been more surprised if he had actually been an Aurelian, as he liked to claim, rather than a fellow believer. And this statue, created specifically on his order, only further pushed the time mage towards this conclusion. "I think I've figured it out, this museum also serves as a Temple for Rishi, which is why there is such an unusual approach to the arrangement of exhibits," Leila smirked, examining the details of the statue dedicated to the goddess, "and even exhibits like that photograph."
