☀️ Arselia and Akonia

- Maybe her grandchildren live far away? - she shrugged. - But that's also possible; what can you do, people are imperfect. But personally, I want to think that striving for the best, despite possible obstacles, is an objective good.

- But they don't need to live far away. Family should stick together and help each other. This applies to both everyday matters and more far-reaching plans. But I might drop by to visit her, we'll see.

- How many... how many thousands? - she tried to calculate in her mind how long it would take a worker from "Abundance" to earn that much. - Was it made of gold? Or does it have some kind of ephemeral components built in? Hmm... Or maybe it flies on its own? I don't think that fight would have been so exciting if EdgeLord-kun had just glided down. It took me ten seconds.

- Yes, it flies. It's not suitable for mass production, it's too expensive, but it's very profitable to sell to the wealthy. In a broader sense, this isn't that important, by the way, I command an entire squadron of autumn-born pilots, and they don't need such expensive gliders. Oh. - Heidi puts a finger to her lips. - This is a military secret, so don't spread it around, okay?

- Konnichiwa, abbot, it's good that you managed to get out for some fresh air. Please, sit down, - she indicates a place on the grass near their "table". - And don't be shy, spiritual work requires energy, and we have a mountain of food. All of this was prepared not by me, but by Trude herself, so you can be sure it's safe. ...And yes, - this is Akiacchi. Akiacchi, this is Bruno, the abbot of the church.

The abbot greeted everyone, except for Ayano herself, and took a seat - as far away from her as possible. - What a beautiful table. It all looks very appetizing, it would be a shame if these gifts from Anuzish and the labor of her children ended up in the stomach of someone who doesn't deserve them. Don't worry, Akiacchi, I'm not talking about you. The mermaid shrugged, looking confused. Radgrid arrives with his brothers. - Food! - one of them shouts, and the whole group rushes to the table, ignoring all social norms. - Hey!! - The girl, in a slight panic, grabs one of the boys by the collar, but quickly realizes that it's useless - she only has two hands, and there are six brothers. - Behave yourselves!!
