☀️ Arselia and Akonia

- Ehe-he! Today, I have something even better. But first, this is Sonata-chan, my close friend. And this is Lost Lotor-san; he helped me out incredibly once. Lost-san, you were absolutely right when you solved that riddle – I needed to go to the magic bureau. If it weren't for you, I would probably still be wandering around the city! You are very wise; thank you so much. Hmm... How can I leave work and not starve? Maybe I should start my own farm? Live off the land, for example. Unless, of course, I have to pay some exorbitant tax for it.

- Taxes for a home farm? - The old man's eyes widened for a moment. - Well, you've come up with something. I haven't even read about that in the most terrifying fairy tales... It's a good idea, of course, but I'm already too old for hard work. - He put the book aside and folded his arms across his chest. - Excellent. I hope this solution has had a positive impact on your life or at least just amused you. - Turning his gaze to Sonata, he pondered. - Hello, Lotor Lost at your service... Hmm... You look rather regal.
- Ha-ha, thank you for the compliment.
- Uh, don't get me wrong. - He turns his attention back to Aiyano. - Oh, I remembered. Did I imagine it, or did I see you flying away on a private airship a couple of weeks ago?
