Sakuramoria

— Ugh, now I'll have to work extra hard in Vallota and Thymian's classes to burn off all the calories I consumed during this visit... — Bella decided to try black coffee with a large slice of cream pie. — I think you're right. Futaba could probably do anything she wants with Alma... The question is, will she want to? But still... Events that affect you personally and the people around you resonate more with people than what's happening on the other side of the country, let alone beyond its borders.

— Come on, Bella, you're in great shape! And regarding personal events, yes, if you give a person the choice to save a loved one or a hundred unknown foreigners, the decision will almost always be obvious. It's funny, whether you're an emperor or a common laborer, everyone has the same human nature. And not just for loved ones; some would throw a thousand extra coins to leave unknown merchants out in the cold... Oh, I'm starting to get infected with Toad's ideas from the presidential elections, haha. — the girl giggled. — Regardless, I wouldn't want to burden Futaba with unnecessary worries. Especially not to cast a new shadow on our international relations with our neighbors. On the other hand... supporting the crown can also be considered a kind of "competitive advantage" for our artisans, right? So why not level the playing field?

After finishing her cup, Nira stretched contentedly: — But still, you can't buy local cuisine for any money. I could take a nap for a couple of hours right now... I'll visit those guys next week. There is no justice in the world, but we need to at least appear to be objective. And then we can publish a magazine and see. If things are really bad, we'll let our Futu know. After all, it's not right for Risha to let someone humiliate honest Sakuramori citizens in their own town.
