☀️ Arselia and Akonia

- Ha-ha, yes, indeed. I doubt I'll ever harpoon a phantom, but it sounds like a worthy plan for the future.

- What do you mean, "doubt"? You've already harpooned one overgrown phantom. It should be easier with the rest.

- It... wasn't really necessary... - the current moment was one of the rarest in her life, when her usually pale cheeks were covered with a slight blush. - It's not like... I mean... just if you think about it logically... - she spent some more time trying to express verbally what was inexpressible, until she finally gave up on it.
Closing her eyes and spending a few seconds on calming, breath-and-mind-focused mental exercises, she finally replies:
- Thank you, Akiacchi, this is a very beautiful bracelet, I can see that you put your soul into it. You are charming, and I am absolutely sure that you would find a prince. But if I can help facilitate this further, I will be happy to. Just don't get me wrong... - she mumbled the last phrase, then continued more cheerfully. - You know, I will definitely hang it as a charm for your personal happiness when I get to... home, - she didn't mention the Temple for fear that it might be inadvertently blurted out to the priest. - These are special plaques with wishes for loved ones. With it and this bracelet, a prince will be found in no time.

- Thank you, Ayanacchi! You and Lordini are my first friends, so besides this charm, I just wanted to do something nice for you! But I'm not very good at human fashion, so please forgive me if I didn't guess right.
Lord didn't waste time and put the bracelet on his hand, both to please the mermaid who had worked on creating it and for some of his own reasons. - Thank you. This is a magnificent gift.

Akiacchi and Lordini's Bracelet
Does nothing, but doesn't take up an accessory slot.

Meanwhile, Heidi descends from the air - it's not surprising that observing the horizon didn't allow her to be detected earlier.
At her unexpected appearance, Aki hides underwater and cautiously watches what is happening on the shore from there.

- You idiot! - Trude gave Heidi a painful slap on the back of the head. - Not everyone is used to your antics.
- He-he-he. - The pilot sheepishly scratches the back of her head and says to the mermaid sitting in the river. - Hello! My name is Heidi, I'm sorry I scared you!
- And I'm Aki... - the mermaid replies uncertainly.
- Lord! Ayana! How are you? Although with you, - she looks at Lord, - we saw each other very recently, so you don't have to answer.
