☀️ Arselia and Akonia

— And in your world, do pink foxes live, with many tails, and do they transform into beautiful maidens? — Kelian dra suddenly asks.

- I won't say anything about the color, but where I come from, there are indeed legends about beautiful women with many fox tails. Once, I even saw a reference book that described them in detail and included an illustration. It stated that these "women" attract men with their otherworldly beauty in order to obtain their... hmm... male essence. For some reason, the author of the reference book believed that it possessed incredible power, for which these spirits would go to any lengths. In my opinion, it's just a common peasant fantasy.

- Well, yes, I understand, nothing comes easily, and only with our own hands can we build the future we desire, - Merel agreed. - I don't know if such a talisman would ultimately help me, but it would definitely serve as a memorable souvenir. I love unusual things, regardless of their usefulness or purpose.

- Well said, Merel-dono. Rest assured, I will definitely make this talisman for you, even if it's just as a memento of our meeting in this city.

— To be honest, if I had known that you were planning to build a Sanctuary, I would have asked to work for you... But now, it might be awkward to bring up that topic.

- At that time, I could only dream about it myself, but by the grace of Her Highness, it turned out to be possible. So, no problem, Astellia-san, I understand you perfectly. The main thing is that you found something for yourself at a time when your soul needed it most. Hold on to that and keep your spirits up. But if you ever rethink your priorities... - the priestess winked. - Okay, I'm just kidding. I'm so happy for you that even my mood has become playful.
