☀️ Arselia and Akonia

— I see you are a man of action rather than words, so I will soon entrust you with an important task, but before that – learn. — Nariya points to a stack of books lying nearby. — If you want to eat, ask the servants, there is no need to ask permission to walk around the city; even though you now serve me, no one will keep you in chains.

— Your perception of me is both accurate and pleasing to hear. Thank you for your hospitality.
Kenshiro bows and sits down to read the books. Only at midnight does he take a break for food, and soon after the meal, he falls into a peaceful sleep, a sleep filled with impressions, work, knowledge, and wholesome, light food.
— One day, I will visit the islands… — the samurai murmurs and drifts off to sleep.
