☀️ Arselia and Akonia

“The last time I rode like this was back in the academy. It brings back memories,” the scout says, pulling out a map from his suitcase and adjusting his glasses, which have slipped down his nose. “...It brings back the gloom and hopelessness of frozen fish!” Yulizia tries to push the boss away from the entrance with her foot, but misses and falls onto the sand. “Alright, let’s get down to business,” Mr. Problemsolver says, ignoring his subordinate, and starts pacing. “We won’t go into the city; we’ll head straight out. The samurai and the green-eyed one will come with me. Knight and Y, get in the suitcase.” “With ‘that’ thing? No way!” the girl snorts dismissively. “You know why I ended up choosing you for the internship instead of the experienced guys from the ‘NPC’ organization?” Kiven says calmly, not looking at her. “Uh, why?” “Because their whims would definitely lead to the operation’s failure, but yours won’t.” With these words, the scout pushes the intern back into the suitcase, where the sad knight soon disappears as well. After that, he turns to the others: “Rings, cloaks, boots, always have them with you. Also, provisions, except for you, ghost. In case of quicksand, get rid of useless stuff like cooling alcohol. If I detect an ambush, the green-eyed one jumps into the suitcase, and we pass by without a fight. In case of unforeseen ‘events,’ we’ll assess the situation and either ‘avoid’ it. The plan has been discussed with the superiors and should work like clockwork. Any questions? No questions.”
