☀️ Arselia and Akonia

Having assessed the purchasing power of Rem, Kenichiro decides not to be too greedy and modestly takes a hundred, and sets off to explore the new world in practice, or rather, to wander around the city. He starts with the center – first, he will see what is considered decent, acceptable, and respectable here, and then he will look at everything else.
Guillotine Linefront

Kenichiro arrived at the right place at the right time: just at that moment, someone's execution was being prepared. One of the spectators gathered around the guillotine spoke to the samurai.

— When you think about gallows and other execution tools, you primarily imagine rough and unkempt bandits as the main actors, but in the case of the Linefront guillotine, things are quite different. — As if to confirm his words, Kenichiro and the other spectators saw the target of today's execution, who turned out to be a solid-looking man in a business suit and with neatly styled hair, he looked to be about fifty years old. — Just a few days ago, this idiot was the mayor of one of the neighboring towns, but he was caught abusing his official powers, and now his song is over. This is what I call justice; if they brought these brazen bourgeois, who exploit human labor, here one after another, then ordinary people would breathe easier.

"Quite an elegant way to switch to a more informal tone, I should remember that."
-- Addressing you informally is perfectly fine, thank you. But the answer is most likely "no," I don't possess this undoubtedly useful profession of an alchemist, so I will need your help not only with selecting ingredients, if you would be so kind 🥺

— Elixir one hundred and fifty, drops fifty, anti-toxin seventy-five, ointment forty, tonic fifty.

Raphael looked intently at Tissa.

- Oh! 😮 My apologies, miss! I'm sorry! 😔 I was just mistaken; you look very much like one of my acquaintances. But it would be funny if you were also an actress.

— You need to watch out! You're lucky I'm alone!
— Madam, please be quieter. — Anna Roa, the waitress, added in a monotonous voice. — You are disturbing the other visitors.
— ... — Tissa lowered her voice and continued. — If you had a slightly scarier face, I would have called the guards!
