Day Fifteen
Good news awaited me in the morning - Keliandra got baked in the sun yesterday. In the evening. When it was already getting dark. Fine... I decided not to ask unnecessary questions. She got baked, she got baked, good riddance to her; it's even for the best, otherwise I would have killed her myself, which would have been much worse.
And a painfully familiar thunderous voice from the first floor notified me of a second piece of good news - Beata's case was reviewed and they decided to release her. True, she flatly refused to go with us to Sidgemort, well, she can be understood. Sigh, we only just got back together, and now parting again...
Aiko introduced the recruit Vortex. A strange Lunarian; she kept herself distant and stared at some portrait. I decided not to find out what was in it. Even though she's not dark, I still dislike the long-eared ones.
I hinted to Aiko that cat food is sold at Cherry, and she asked me to stop by and buy some. Well, it wasn't hard for me - I stopped by and bought it.
There was still time before work, so I stepped into The Rabbit Hole. An elite establishment, a high-fashion boutique. The decor is quite dark, but all the showcases are well-lit and the merchandise is seen perfectly in the most flattering light. As it turned out, the saleswoman is the master herself. She makes the clothes, the shoes, and the accessories... She has golden hands.
But Alice herself was not very friendly. Probably offended that I didn't immediately realize all of this was her handiwork. I asked how much custom-made shoes for Beata would cost. She named a price... I figured that even if I sold myself into slavery, the money might not be enough. I had to leave empty-handed under her judging gaze. It was awkward.
I popped into The Rumor to see what was there. It turned out they sold magazines about famous places and people of our empire. Overall, the shop looked neat.
Only the saleswoman Krea killed any desire to buy anything. She behaved very unfriendlily, rolling her eyes and huffing. I heard that she can cover some people in swear words right from the threshold, so I think I was lucky.
With the remaining time before work, I ventured into Phantom. Brr, a creepy little place. Very atmospheric and very creepy. And they sold all sorts of... Oddities. Horror.
The saleswoman looked like a human-sized doll. It seemed to me she wasn't even breathing. Her gaze made me feel uneasy. Brr. I left there as quickly as possible.
Work was restless. After yesterday, Kasu almost demanded that I stay. I said that despite all my wishes, I couldn't, though I am very sorry. It seems he resigned himself to it. Sigh, and I never even quit properly... Well, whatever.
Day Sixteen
In the morning, Aiko held a briefing. She told us many useful things; I even wrote them down just in case, they'll come in handy in life. Beata still didn't want to travel with us, well, she can be understood.
Our group arrived at the station, I said goodbye to Beata and we left for Sidgemort. The trip went very well and calmly; great weather, great views. One of the neighbors sang a rather beautiful song that fit the mood.
We arrived towards evening. Sidgemort turned out to be a small tourist town. Even at night it was flooded with light. I would have gladly lived there longer and immersed myself in the local culture, but it happened as it happened.
Our company stayed at the Lanky hotel. A wonderful establishment, I liked it very much. Friendly staff, perfect cleanliness in the rooms, comfortable beds.
The administrator Shun Ei is a very pleasant girl; at such a late hour she took care of our accommodation and was patient with the crowd of guests. But it was obvious she was as tired as we were. Therefore, we wished each other good night and crashed own to sleep.
Day Seventeen
As a bonus to breakfast came a very unusual but delicious-smelling fruit. I remembered Aiko's warnings, but... I couldn't resist. It looked so appetizing! I think I'm starting to understand why all of Carneol jokes about my love for food...
In the morning there was some free time, so I visited the local adventurers guild. It turned out to be a very small building, a bit shabby and not particularly popular. Yes, this isn't the capital...
Some young girl worked there. Well, as for working - she sat there, making sure the notices didn't peel off the wall. Mostly she thought about something of her own. I wonder what...
I noticed an announcement offering to finish eating leftover food at a local restaurant - Persimmon, I believe - and decided it was easy money; what could go wrong... I have never been so mistaken. The restaurant itself is quite cozy and colorful; I liked it very much. I would have gladly tasted the local cuisine, for it was quite delicious...
The owner, Yuan Qiu, turned out to be a good-natured fat man. A bit simple in his manner of speech, but not stupid. I even liked his philosophy - indeed, it's a pity when you have to throw away good food. Delicious food...
I bravely dug into what needed to be finished. The first plate seemed delicious. By the second, my jaws began to tire. By the third, my stomach started to ache. With an incredible effort of will, I shoved almost everything into myself and took the honestly earned money, but I didn't walk back to the hotel; I rolled. Man, what could go wrong...
Day Eighteen
I spent the whole day suffering with my stomach. I had to miss the training. To my happiness/misfortune, some girl - Agatha, I think - was staying at the hotel, and she was very kind. Or so it seemed to me then... She brought chamomile tea, sat with me. Who knew that this bitch would decide to swipe my wallet with all the money... Well, I paid for the caregiver's services.
Day Nineteen
In the morning I felt that I had gotten better. Only to find out that I had been left alone in the hotel without money! I spoke with the administrator, and it turned out they had all checked out. Why was I left? I was in shock; I thought they decided to fire me in such a fancy way... Luckily, that wasn't the case.
The administrator agreed to let me work for her, but I had to stick around for several days, which didn't particularly suit me. I remembered yesterday's tasks and decided to take a risk, to test armor for Longthang. As expected, it was an arms shop. I would have gladly lingered and maybe bought something, but I was in a great hurry.
When I saw the dimensions of In Hou, who offered to test the armor, at first I wanted to refuse and run to Margel on foot. I realized that it would be very, very painful. And he even promised to hit with full force...
It was painful. Very. Although for some reason it seemed that I got lucky and everything could have been worse. With such hits, it wouldn't take long to get a concussion or break a couple of ribs... But I had money for the train.
I don't remember how the trip flew by and how I reached Carneol. Everything is like in a fog - apparently, recovering from the blows. But Beata was waiting for me there! Her vacation didn't quite work out either. She was also robbed, as it turned out. Well, we are winners in life. And some mission to exterminate pirates awaited us...
At the same time, I found out that Vortex bailed. Man... Life will be hard for her if she bails from such simple things.
Day Twenty
Beata owed Raphael money, and of course, I had to solve her problems... Well, at least on the road to the ship, I found exactly as much as I gave. No kidding. Speaking of the ship - it was a very good vessel. Old, tested, in excellent condition. And it had a good name, Lightning.
And Captain Hector Lamaris was a good man. Strong, manly, selfless, devoted to his mission and his ship. Sigh, it turned out sad... Well, I'm getting ahead of myself.
We were introduced to the assistants. One of them, Zoritsa, I knew a little from Beata's stories. In person she was even better. She turned out to be quite an imaginative confessor. And regardless - a very pleasant person. I managed to grow fond of her. Not as much as Beata did, but... Sigh.
The second, Nora, was a former guardian. Former, yes... I didn't ask her what happened - apparently, it's a heavy topic. She looked very unwell. Poor thing...
The third - some spy named Mellen. She left little of an impression, mostly bad. And oh, the things she pulled when returning... Well, I won't get ahead of myself.
After handing out gifts and sailing away, I decided to confess to Zoritsa. I learned many interesting things about what the human body is capable of. I decided to share the experience with Beata, especially since her mind-blowing lingerie set was ruined, which we almost tore in the process. But if we had torn it - it would have been worth it.
