☀️ Arselia and Akonia

- Bronislava-san, konnichiwa. How are you? I see you have a lot of new things. This is Sonata-chan, Sonata-chan, this is Bronislava-san.

- I recommend this diary; it helps to organize your thoughts in this big city. And the design is cute," she says to Sonata, then examines the swords. "So, what do you think, are they comparable in quality? They are quite affordable by local prices. Um... Bronislava-san, could you tell me where these blades are from? And, um... what does the second price list mean? About the blessings.

- Uh, nice to meet you, Ms. Sonata.
- And I'm glad to meet you, Bronislava. You have a lovely shop here.
- T-thank you... Ms. Aiyano, things... Well, generally, as always, we are developing little by little. Regarding the swords, um, sir?...
- Hello, Aiyano, Sonata. - The white-haired man standing in the back of the shop greeted them. - Let me explain. The swords of the Islands can be divided into three categories: nameless, national, and named.
He shows:

Katana

Field sword, one type.

- As you can see, there is nothing engraved on the blades of these swords - neither the name of the weapon itself nor the name of the blacksmith who forged it. This primarily indicates that they were mass-produced, that they were forged without a specific purpose, or that the craftsman does not have the necessary level of prestige for this, or simply that they do not think about such things. There may be other reasons, but the ones I listed are the main ones. However, you should not have any prejudice against this weapon. I know romantic stories about how warriors took such a weapon and, together with it, built their legend, and already in the chronicles, the originally nameless blade acquired a legendary name.

Momijigari Katana

The handle and scabbard are black and orange, in the style of autumn leaves.

Toyokawa Katana

The handle and scabbard are white and pink, in the style of cherry blossoms.

Wakamono Katana

The handle and scabbard are white and blue, some in the style of wind, others of waves.

Asahina Katana

The handle and scabbard are in the style of Hanafuda.

- These swords are national weapons. As a rule, they are issued to warriors of the respective countries. The third type is named - it is forged for a specific person or for a special purpose, and unfortunately, you will not find such swords on the shelves of my store.

- The quality is satisfactory, and I think that the cherry blossom katana would complement your image well, but ideally, it would be better to have a weapon made to order.

The priest nodded in agreement.
- And with blessings, it's simple: in exchange for a modest donation, you can receive the appropriate protection.

- Perhaps. Well, not necessarily Wakamono, but places where there are no random obstacles in the way, and if there is money for tickets, we could visit. After all, the past should not bind us to the four walls of the house forever, and you can always find time to see the world, or rather, its safe part. I've had enough of the unsafe part for now.

- That's true... But it's worth remembering that at any moment, even the safe part of the world can become unsafe.
