☀️ Arselia and Akonia

—You're talking about Earth... I should probably meet this "person" sometime. I can't believe there are people in this world who are more irresponsible than I am. —the knight chuckled. —As for the rest... I've experienced so much. You... You could just open a random portal in the middle of the street, and I would definitely take a look inside. I came here with good intentions, not to slash with a sword, but the opposite. If this is a trap, then I'm just unlucky. In my current situation, I can't afford to carefully choose traps and tricks. Every day, I feel that the chance of running into a random priest or necromancer is increasing, and I can't do anything about it. And regarding your helplessness... I once left a girl in trouble. Never again, I'd rather lose my soul.

—Question... ... I had a very wise, all-knowing "friend." After him, I realized that the less you know, the better you sleep. —the black knight pondered. —...It would be interesting to clarify something about Aconia, but I'm afraid that if you know, revealing the ending of this story in advance will ruin all the fun for the participants. Therefore... I came here with one goal, and that's what I'll ask. Since you wanted to help with my main problem, I assume you know how to remove the undead curse from me? Maybe there's a holy spring nearby or a genie lamp buried, or something else along those lines. Well, if that's your power, maybe there's a way to earn it, or maybe someone else possesses it, since our deal didn't work out. In short, tell me how to cleanse my soul, kind stranger.

"I was actually thinking of making a similar joke."
— Indeed," the girl slapped her forehead, "I forgot!
Putting the present on the table that Manin Tai would point to, and making sure the guy is watching, Alaria carefully removed the top part of the box.
— Ta-da! I think you now understand why I called this cake "Surprise," right? — the tanarisi smiled slyly, — It's obvious what it is when you look at it, but it's not that easy to guess. I hope you like the visuals. I wanted to create something that would be a pleasure not only for the stomach but also for the eyes. Something unique that would be nice to remember. Something that would be nice to make a part of yourself, he-he. What do you think?

- Konnichiwa, Edin-san. How are you? Yes, I'm here to see her - I'd like to say it's just for "tea," but unfortunately, it's for an important matter. Is she here?

-- It would be interesting, of course, to travel the world and compare it to other places in Anush, and even Welfern itself is quite diverse; one province is not like another, and each is interesting in its own way. From this point of view, you did the right thing by traveling; I fully support you. But I also wish you to take breaks sometimes so that you have more energy.

-- And even though spring is not yet near, love is in the air. What is this, and how can it be explained? But where there is love, there are also trials of that love. Not long ago, I was invited to the wedding of two actors from Fantasmagoria, which ultimately did not take place, although it was supposed to be a week ago. And the wedding rings, into which I put my soul for the young couple, were never worn... I hope that in the best of worlds, the bride and groom found each other and will never lose each other again.

-- Those who go through fire and water will certainly taste the sweet fruit. Good luck to your friend. And to the second one, if he is also in love... There are different reactions to this feeling, but one thing is true: it changes everyone.
