☀️ Arselia and Akonia

- Ha-ha, it seems that it's not your culture that's seeping into the empire, but the imperial culture that's slowly seeping into you. - Mom playfully ruffled her daughter's hair. - So, listen. A couple of days ago, I officially registered you as my adopted daughter - there's no need for the masses to know that I gave birth to you from another world. Since you are not of my blood, you cannot claim the imperial throne and the wealth of the imperial family, but this still imposes certain obligations on you, so I support your idea, but let's do it within the bounds of the law and decency. My limit is a bikini.

- B... - the "daughter" couldn't even utter the word. - I... I don't think it will come to that... But I understand. ... ... ...Hey, wait, registered? - She paused for a moment, wondering if it was even possible to adopt a fifty-year-old woman, but apparently, even if it wasn't, this law clearly didn't apply to this dynasty. - That's a bit unexpected. A strange feeling... But I'm glad you're happy.

- It will be tough, but they are strong and full of enthusiasm, so they will cope. Hmm, it's hard to say about the ancestors, but their descendants will definitely be happy to see a glimpse of your youth.

- Descendants? - Nihonka coughed. - Of course, I'm talking about the priestesses who will work in Kamimori, and maybe in other shrines after me. I didn't think about it in that sense... Thank you, I'll think about your words.

- I think it will be great. Imagine how many liters of... stuff... your admirers will... do... to you. Go for it!

The "model" gave the "animal" a light tap on the head with the edge of her hand.
- I shouldn't have asked you... Or maybe I should. Who else will delve into the essence of the question, stripping away all the false meanings from it? - she sighs. - Thank you for your wise advice.

- The owner of "Ideal" is a very principled and fair person, so I wouldn't worry about it - they won't force you to do something you don't want to do.
- I think you should try it, - Kayasa closed her eyes and nodded, - it's a good opportunity to look at yourself from the outside and boost your confidence.

- Your opinion on this matter means a lot to me, Bors-san, it's not for nothing that you chose this place as your starting point at one time... Arigato.
- You know, you're not the first to "accuse" me of this. Maybe there really is something like that in me... Thank you, the opinion of a woman like you is worth more to me than anything else. I'll think about it.

- Is this some kind of test? To be honest, I would probably be a little jealous at the thought that any random passerby could just easily admire your radiant beauty, but if this is what you want, then I would be happy for your achievement. And who knows, maybe someone will see your photo and change their mind about jumping off the roof. Don't you believe that's possible? I do.

- Yes, I didn't think about it in that sense... And no, it's not a test, - she smiled at this suggestion. - It's just that an opportunity arose to follow a path that Dia followed at one time... But! - she immediately raises a finger. - I was shown some of her "works," and although she is a gorgeous girl, something like that is completely unacceptable to me. I think you understand what I mean - you know me. So, either it's a decent option, or none at all. And I'll tell you, this is not the time to compromise. As it was said... "Ambiguity leads to misunderstanding and lies," and "if you do something halfway, don't do it at all," your words. So, if you have any doubts, voice them right away - that's why I'm asking. I don't owe them anything, and it won't hurt me.
