☀️ Arselia and Akonia

"A dangerous woman," Amamius thought, recalling his encounter with Enio. "She smiles, but there's poison in her eyes." At one point, he even thought she had slipped something into the drink of the guy sitting next to her, but given his everyday paranoia, he decided not to voice this thought. In the past, he had been wrong many times and made a fool of himself. It wasn't that he cared about what others thought, but he still had to work with these people, so ruining his reputation from day one wasn't the best strategy. Waiting for his new companions to leave, Amamius went up to the second floor of "Abundance," where the store manager was engrossed in some paperwork. Approaching him from behind, the mercenary hit him on the head with his golf club as hard as he could. Then again, and again, and again. Making sure Darius was no longer showing any signs of life, he took the key to the room, locked it, and left. After that, he turned into one of the dark alleys of this street, exchanged a few words with a man whose name he didn't know, received 3520 rem, and left. "Good thing I remembered to spray myself with perfume; it wouldn't be good to show up at an important meeting not looking my best." On the way back to his new home, he got rid of the golf club, stopped by a pawn shop, where he bought the Royal Ring of Vallen, a portrait of Rinze, and earrings with red crystals. He also stopped by "Ornament," where he bought a flag of his native region. Upon returning to Carneol, he found Erephir and returned the money he had borrowed earlier.
