"What difference does it make? It will all happen so fast that they won't even have time to realize it."
This time, the targets are larger. It will be convenient to make a series of diagonal strikes, each with a step. Kenichiro moves next to the slave furthest to his left. Blade up. Step simultaneously with the strike. Another step, blade back to the starting position. Step with a strike. And again.
— Are you doing this professionally? — For the first time during their acquaintance, Kingaludda smirked. — Bring in the next ones.
This time, 30 worker slaves were brought before Kenichiro.

One thing was clear from this whole fairy tale - that nothing was clear. It is unknown which part of the story represents the truth and which is a fictional embellishment; it is unclear what kind of entity Akonia was and why it was necessary to eliminate her in this way; and the thickest fog in the whole story hangs over the princess, her goals, and motivations in conjunction with her beliefs.
"I wonder what would happen if you put all of Akonia back together piece by piece like a child's building blocks?.." - the thought flashed through her mind.
However, the miko felt that these questions were on the dangerous edge of understanding reality, and it might be unwise to delve into them in a conversation with the princess, at least for the time being. And ultimately, it all comes down to what she will allow herself to hear, and this concept can be quite broad. Words are nothing; only actions matter.
- A tragic legend, albeit beautiful in its own way, - she replies. - I think I will need some time to contemplate it. Thank you for this excursion, chimera denka.
Bowing, she reaches for her notebook and places several pages in front of Naria:
- Another question, regarding which I am here. It is somewhat out of place in our current conversation and all the recent events, but given that the current crisis, as it seems at first glance, has been resolved, I believe it is time to return to this topic.
- A drawing - or rather, an illustration - of what a modest Nihon shrine looks like, a place of communication with the Kami-sama, embodying the essence of the natural world. The necessary materials are simple - mainly wood and a little stone. In ancient times, people did not have access to expensive materials to build on a grand scale, and besides, excessive ostentation does not benefit the spiritual content of this place. Variations are possible, but here are the most minimal necessary elements. As for the proposed location where it could be erected, I found a place of power nearby, in the forest, where the primordial energy of the planet is strongest. coordinates have been shared with you in Telegram![]()
- Some additional sketches, for understanding. I will take care of all the necessary elements after the construction is completed, such as lighting the altar and making various attributes.
