☀️ Arselia and Akonia

So, are you coming?

🌸: I wouldn't lead anyone into the unknown, so they're all aware of the situation, and each of them is enthusiastic, although the source of that enthusiasm may vary from boy to boy.
🔴: You probably won't believe it, or at least you'll be skeptical, but Bajena is quite good with a spear. But should we put her life at risk? I don't think so. There's Linetta Saturnia Ulysses, a mercenary working for Naria; we can invite her, but she'll probably have to be compensated in some way. Adalard, although an executioner, is probably quite capable in battle.

- Okay, fine.
- Bajena-chan, just sit down and stay put. I didn't spend all this time talking her out of nonsense just to drag her along with Akonius to who knows where. And she did mention the spear, but I don't believe her... Adalard-san? Hmm... He's already helped me a lot. I don't know, I don't know... But I might ask him. And a mercenary sounds good. Do you know where I can find her?

🧸: Alright, Miss Aiyano, I promise I won't take unnecessary risks. For Sonata and Azarina, we can't fail!
🌸: Then you go to Kayas, Aiyano, and Lord and I will help the others get better equipment?
Lord would have preferred to stay with Aiyano, but he didn't object to the idea.

- Remember, Bors-san – you promised, and a gentleman can't break his word, - she said, crossing her arms over her chest and looking at him sternly, but perhaps in that gaze he could also see a hint of pleading mixed with never-ending anxiety.
- Yes, let's do it that way. And don't forget to reinforce the katana – Crag-san worked so hard on it that it would be completely unfair to waste all that effort.
She got up from her seat and smiled at the homeowner:
- Gochisousama.
Before heading to the Might and Magic, she remembered something and snapped her fingers:
- Oh, by the way – we also need to visit the lair of that puppet pervert. Somewhere in there should be Azarina-chan's lost blade, unless some scavengers have already picked it up. This isn't a whim, but a necessary step on the path to her recovery, so it should be taken very seriously.
