☀️ Arselia and Akonia

Kenshiro watched with mixed feelings of surprise, admiration, and a touch of envy as Alaria effortlessly conquered page after page and chapter after chapter. After reading this, he has nightmares, and even without that, he reads twice as slowly. Perhaps, due to her gender, stories about monster women disturb her less, but her reading speed is truly astonishing. And you wouldn't think she's a great scholar.
Kenshiro falls asleep thinking about which of the encyclopedia's heroines it would be less sad to be captured by, should the need arise. However, the author's position is clear...
And in the morning, they are already there and still alive. Kenshiro isn't exactly surprised, but there is a slight element of unexpectedness. The samurai meticulously grooms himself, even using perfumes.

On the evening of June 15th, the "Thunder" enters the port of Barsina.
— Well, gentlemen. — The captain gathers part of the crew on deck to say goodbye to the passengers, while simultaneously sending someone to the city of Berimir to find a guide for them. — I wish you good luck on your mission. We will return to Margel, where we will report to the ship's owner about the situation, as well as that her passengers have safely reached the designated port.

Kenshiro says goodbye to the captain. No matter what, he keeps his word and deserves respect.
— This will be worthy. The journey was not without its difficulties, but we are here, and that is the main thing. Thank you. Fair winds.

Kenshiro silently bowed to Karimu in response and, as tradition dictates, left the first word to the commander.
