☀️ Arselia and Akonia

Aiyano sat back on the sofa, crossing her arms, and pondered this "offer" for a long time before finally saying:
- Alright, Mei-san, I'll agree to this, with one condition. These will be "neutral" photos - no costumes, no deliberately..."consumerist," let's call it that, poses or facial expressions. If you like, I can pose with an ofuda, - she pulls out a deck of talismans with one movement, fanning them out in her palm. - Strictly within these parameters and for your internal collection, as we discussed above. Under no other circumstances would I agree to this, but for you, and for the ideals of your founder, out of respect, I will make an exception, and I expect the same in return regarding my religious and personal beliefs. I'm not that interested in this """secret""" to compromise on them. I hope you understand.

Doesn't she know? Does she even have a tongue? Is she alive?

- Excuse me, but why don't you say anything at all? This could scare away customers.

Rinze... Rinze... Rinze... I need to ask Aiko about her. Yes, it's tough to be not very educated.

Beata slightly opens the window, trying not to make noise, pushes the curtain aside a little, and examines the room through the gap.
