Tuesday. Location: at the princess's discretion.
-- A lovely day to you, Your Highness, -- a particularly polite curtsy. -- Allow me to report on the state of affairs of the combat unit entrusted to me by your grace.
When (if) permitted, Aiko speaks:
-- According to our current status, firstly, we have been founded under the name "Carneol." As a result of posting announcements in the "Commonwealth of Empire Workers," the Sunday edition of the "Dawn," personal meetings, and your involvement in our fate — thank you once again — we have received the necessary number of personnel. I believe they are already known to Your Highness by name. There are two nuances: first, "necessary" does not, of course, mean that we must stop there and close our doors, but I believe some tasks are already within our reach. Second, our secretary, Mr. Raphael Nishenet, is currently undergoing additional training and will be fully able to assume his duties starting Thursday. No problems should arise, however; he has already proven himself admirably more than once, and given how well he reads people, he even does slightly more. Otherwise, we have a maid, 7 brave warriors, and your humble servant, totaling 9 people.
-- We conducted modest supplementary outfitting of the headquarters kindly provided by you. Some funds were allocated for preparation and provisions...
-- I have begun my own professional development as a leader. At present, unfortunately, due to the abrupt change of specialty, many necessary subtleties are unknown to me, but upon these subtleties depend the lives and health of the people entrusted to me, as well as the success of completing the combat mission. Fortunately, our magnificent imperial archive is more than capable of helping my humble person catch up on what was missed...
-- With considerable help from the initial members — Kilika, Beata, and Guyon — we designed our unit's banner:
-- This banner has been sent to the administration as our symbol henceforth and forevermore.
-- Thanks to cooperation with the Pam-Param restaurant, unit members are provided with delicious meals that favorably affect their endurance and, consequently, their readiness for future trials.
-- On to incidents. Just yesterday, warrior Guyon complained to me that his dear colleague Beata requires urgent medical assistance or, one might say, deliverance from a curse. This service was rendered by the esteemed Yevgeny Kripov, owner of the "Tentacle." Beata's condition now causes no concern, but alas, the fighters' own funds proved insufficient to fully cover this treatment. I hope Your Highness will not consider it impertinence that I, on behalf of the unit, took the remaining expenses onto the budget given their obvious importance.
-- You may review our financial standing in this report if you wish, -- she takes a document in hand, leaving it to the princess's discretion whether to examine it or take her word. -- I fear your servant had to exceed the monthly budget, but I hope you will deem these expenditures justified by Carneol's interests so that we may accomplish the upcoming tasks with minimal difficulty. I also ask you to take into account that we managed to complete the staffing task much earlier than the last day of this month, though this indirectly contributed to the shortfall, since it turns out that, for example, the food budget will need to cover nearly all of June.
(The document presented and quite clearly justified absolutely all expenditures down to the rem.
Currently it worked out that
- 6*9*23 = 1242 rems would be spent on feeding 9 hired people, including the maid and secretary
- salaries would amount to 320/0.9 (Aiko) + 320/0.75 (Kilika) + 320/0.9 (Beata) + 320/0.9 (Guyon) + 480/0.9 (Raphael) + 320/0.9 (Keliandra) + 320/0.75 (Garrett) + 320/0.75 (Merel) + 320/0.9 (Astelia) + 320/0.9 (Kalina), totaling a salary fund of 3947 rems
- the organization also owes 400 rems for healing Beata who fell into trouble.
- If Aiko compensates the 305 rems (205, accounting for the 100 at game start) spent on her own training at the Academy from her salary,
- the total current deficit amounts to 1581 rems)
-- There is one more sorrowful matter I wished to discuss with you, Your Highness, -- the girl lowered her gaze with grief, and it was not mere pretense; she truly had lain awake over this at night.
-- It concerns the terrible murder of Miss Gloria Mansell, mistress of Fennel. As it happens, Miss Gloria and I were acquainted and on good terms, but far more importantly, Miss Mansell agreed to be our potion supplier and had even produced the first batch thereof. With her death, I lost not only a dear friend but also a reliable and vital supplier of essential goods for the Carneol unit. In this regard, her murder, from my point of view, falls into the category of harm done to us and to our future combat capability, and this harm will be difficult to compensate.
-- In light of the above, I ask you, -- a curtsy. -- If it is within our power to somehow assist the guard in the investigation, and provided the peacekeepers of our glorious capital genuinely require our aid, permit us to render it.
-- To summarize, I would like to conclude that despite or thanks to everything said, the multitasking combat unit Carneol stands ready to rally beneath Your Banner, -- a curtsy.
-- A lovely day to you, Your Highness, -- a particularly polite curtsy. -- Allow me to report on the state of affairs of the combat unit entrusted to me by your grace.
