☀️ Arselia and Akonia

Here is Yanshi, the next destination for Carneol. The brave Garritt steps out of the train and takes a deep breath of fresh air.
"Whew, what a ride. This thing rattles you from head to toe, and your ears get tired from the endless clatter of the wheels. And there's nowhere to go, just sit and wait... But still, it's definitely better than being in a cell; it's interesting to watch the forests and fields fly by through the window."
Looking around, he leisurely headed towards the inn, keeping a certain distance from the other Carneoleans.

Garrett checks into room B. He has no money, but Ment said everything is under control.

The next morning, Ye Shui brings a gift to the guests' rooms for breakfast – a strangely shaped fruit. Wishing them a pleasant appetite, she goes to her workplace.

— Oh, thanks! It'll be great for dessert.
"What is this? An unknown fruit, it looks so juicy and appetizing... And it's free, nothing suspicious at all, what could possibly go wrong? Although, wait, Ayko did warn me not to touch unfamiliar things..."

Stepping out into the corridor, he noticed that the hostess was going around with these fruits to other rooms as well. Is today fruit day or something? He walked along, listening for the characteristic crunching sound coming from behind the doors. It seems that some of his comrades decided to try them after all. Of course, it's not a guarantee, but it seems that they are actually delicious.

Leaning against the wall, Garrett stops in the corridor and waits, nodding hello to the Carneoleans who are going out to explore the area. He waits until someone unfamiliar appears from the rooms.
