Before answering, Ayano checks her aura and the Geiger counter reading, just in case.
Then, looking at the neckline of her skirt and her stockings with garters, she thinks: "She should dress more modestly; that would solve some of the problems she had to endure. Apparently, monarchs have their own set of rigid views."
"Thank you for your gratitude, even though I didn't do anything," the priestess smiles. "Several people were involved in your rescue..." she counts on her fingers. "Azarina-chan, Bors-san, Kripov-shinpu, Kayasa-kocho, and the chimera denka. I just connected the dots."
She nods.
"And I know your name. Although I don't read newspapers very often, there were quite a few articles about you back then. Alright, let's call you Sonata-chan. My name is Yamagami Ayano. I had many questions for you, but somehow none of them seem important right now. Well... " she tilts her head and glances at her outfit. "I'll still ask – how did you manage to get this authentic uniform so quickly? And even the medal."
"I understand that my name was well-known at home, but... that was a long time ago. This world is very unusual, but I suppose we have no choice but to play with the cards of fate that have been dealt to us?" Sonata-chan makes an elegant, slow 360-degree turn, showing her interlocutor the outfit that caught her attention. "It was made for me in the 'rabbit hole' on Emerald Alley. It's funny, there was also an Emerald Street in Reime. Is this convergence and divergence of worlds, or just a coincidence? As for the medal... it was given to me as a credential allowing me to train these young warriors. In other words, it's proof of my instructor status."
