☀️ Arselia and Akonia

- Aha-ha... It's like looking in a mirror. Thank you, young man. You'll become an even greater artist someday.
She would have given him an ofuda as a keepsake, but the suspicious glances from the head priest made her hesitate, and she suspected he wouldn't be interested anyway, so she simply patted him affectionately on the head.
- Maybe I really should move here... - she murmured, so quietly that only Trude could have heard. - After this divine comedy, - this time she didn't add "if I live to see it," - you truly are a great person, Trude-sama. Not only a demigoddess and an excellent cook, but also someone who can offer support in difficult times. I should learn from you. However... The same can be said about the others.
She gets to her feet and brushes the grass off her knees.
- Alright. I wanted to avoid unnecessary scenes, so... It's time to end this.

The time spent together after this incident went exactly as the priestess had originally intended - smoothly and without any hitches. The relaxed conversation was accompanied by a delicious lunch, laughter, and various activities. For example, during Emil's game, the assembled were asked to sing something - during this event, it turned out that Tristan and Bruno had quite good voices, and among the female NPCs, only Heidi stood out positively, although her high voice would probably not appeal to everyone... Akia refused to sing for a reason known only to her. Edge Lord-kun also wasn't enthusiastic. As time went on, there were fewer and fewer people. First, Radgrid and his brothers left, accompanied by Tristan. Then Ella, Lina, Ingrid, and Bruno. After them, Heidi also flew away. In the end, only Trude, Aiyano, Lord, Emil, and Akia remained. It was time for them to pack up and leave as well.
