☀️ Arselia and Akonia

Slightly flustered, the seamstress was about to pat the dwarf on the head, but she quickly reconsidered and refrained.
— I'm sure that this scoundrel will be caught soon... This city is home to the empire's government and the imperial family, so it should have the best guard in the country...

"It's amazing, I told Miss Gloria the same thing just a few days ago, and look what happened."
— That's right... Of course, you're right. It's just... — Aiko looked at the flags for a while. — The guard in this city is undoubtedly the best, but how did this tragedy still happen? Just imagine yourself in their place, how would you even catch such a madman? I'm sure Miss Gloria couldn't have had any enemies; she was the kind of person who wouldn't hurt a fly, and it seems highly unlikely to me that a criminal with crazy eyes is just walking around the city, waiting to be caught... If that were the case, the locals would have noticed it, and the matter would have already been resolved, wouldn't you agree? — she watches for a reaction, as Aiko's main goal was to get the shopkeeper to reveal information about any suspicious individuals in the area.
— And without that... I don't even know. The thought that the person I was just talking to is gone, and her killer is living peacefully, trying to delay their inevitable capture... It's terribly unfair.
