☀️ Arselia and Akonia

- What do you mean, unlikely? You already took down one overgrown phantom. The rest should be easier.

- A-ha-ha... ha...

- Thank you, Ayano-chchi! 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 hard to create it and for some of his own reasons. - Thank you. This is a wonderful gift.

- I refuse to believe that you're talking about your first friends! But even if that's the case, you'll have even more friends now. Am I right, Trude-sama?
Since both accessory slots were occupied, seeing Lord's gesture, she tries to put it on, if not according to the game mechanics, then at least according to the role-playing aspect, if possible.

Meanwhile, Heidi parachutes in from the air - it's no wonder that watching the horizon didn't allow her to be spotted earlier.
Startled by her sudden appearance, Akia hides underwater and cautiously watches what's happening on the shore.

- You idiot! - Trude gives 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 Akia... - the mermaid replies uncertainly.
- Lord-san! Ayano-san! How are you? Although, - she looks at Lord, - we saw each other very recently, so you don't have to answer.

- Heidi-san... - Ayano sighs. - Do you understand who you could have been mistaken for just now?... Akia-chchi, don't worry, this is Heidi, she's fun and kind, she just likes to play pranks sometimes. But be sure, she has a heart of gold.
- Things are... - she remembered the demoralizing trip to the church, which seemed to have faded into the past almost without a trace - at least for the time being. - Great. We met Akia-chchi and Emil-san, it's a lot of fun with them, and the hours fly by. They taught me how to fish... with a spear. Taller than me. Can you imagine? Edge Lord-kun made it. - She unties the laces of her bag and shows the tip of the primitive spear sticking out of it. - You might think I'm exaggerating, but I'm not! Yesterday I managed to catch a kyan, - she nodded importantly. - It took almost the whole day... But still. And now we decided to have this celebration. By the way, she gave us... - she was about to say something, but suddenly stumbled. - ...well, here, - it was pointless to hide this fact, so she shows the bracelet. - She's just amazing, this Akia-chchi. I think you would get along with her, you are very similar in temperament.
