☀️ Arselia and Akonia

- Arigato, - the priestess grumbled, taking the orders and heading out.
- I've never heard such nonsense in my life. Why didn't you tell her that I'm not a bandit? Now she'll come up with all sorts of things... - she reproached Sonata on the way to [53].

Bandit, bandit... you even had a chest with stolen treasures in the forest, and your pockets were full of cards with suspicious messages, not to mention the oni mask to hide your identity during secret dealings...

- Forbidden? Ah... I see. You know, I once saw her portrait, and I must say that their eyes and hair are somewhat similar. A funny coincidence. Only my goddess had longer hair and a much more feminine figure. And the second one... um, she was wearing a kimono, I think. I'm not really sure. I mean, it's hard to notice details when you're looking directly at the sun.

"Hehe, well, if even the eyes and hair are similar, then I should ask the suzerain who else she might have summoned, just to be sure..."

-- This is a bit surprising, you're usually at least a little bit friendly to everyone. Apparently, you really were looking at the sun. Well, a kimono is a kimono, although there aren't that many Mitsurugi in the city, are there? -- the redhead tried to remember at least one. -- We could ask around at some "Tentacle" store, since they sell goods from the islands, even if they're mass-produced. I know one person, through a mutual acquaintance, but that's a bit roundabout. And it's also possible that it's just cosplay, like in your studio.

-- So, back to the main topic. Long hair, feminine figure? That's not much to go on. Let me ask, was she wearing a dress, a doublet, armor? What color? Any distinguishing features, like birthmarks? What profession does she resemble? Hmm, and you know what, this is no laughing matter, was she carrying any weapons?
