☀️ Arselia and Akonia

- You've already stolen my heart, so becoming a bandit isn't that far off. Or, to be more precise, a phantom. And would you like to learn our profession from the teacher, or not? I wonder what your nickname would be then... Phantom Nihon?

- Phantom of the Rising Sun, ha-ha. But no, "unfortunately," acquiring other people's material possessions doesn't appeal to me. And this isn't a jab at you and him, but a fact of life – everyone is destined for their own path," she decided not to comment on the words about "heart," but a person with high perception could notice micro-particles of embarrassment that flashed when she said them.

- You're overcomplicating things. If you don't say things as they are, you'll constantly have to either lie or simply not say everything, and that won't lead to anything good in your relationship. Besides, she seems to consider you her friend... And how much is a friendship worth that lacks sincerity on both sides?

- Maybe you're right. Thank you, I'll think about these words. In any case, such a confession requires the right moment.

- Hmm... And what exactly are you planning?

- For example, that it might look suspicious... What if there are some shady schemes involved in this? After all, I haven't even worked here before.
