☀️ Arselia and Akonia

The narrative allows for the possibility that Ayano managed to keep perfect count and took exactly the number of steps required. To the disappointment of the excited and schadenfreude-seeking readers, during the long journey, no one attacked or raped the priestess; she completed 99% of the journey without any noteworthy events, but almost reaching the destination, she still falls into a perfectly camouflaged wolf pit. Fortunately, she lands not on sharp stakes, but on straw, and gets away with only a minor bruise. Looking up, she sees an exquisitely crafted chest with a limbo lock, on which letters were carved instead of numbers. On the right side of the lock, the familiar image of a bear is visible, and on the left, the following words:

"10/10, endgame.
What is most precious to me?
Phantom."
