-- In my view, slight hardships are not yet asceticism, and they are well worth the new experiences. Why sleep in the same soft bed day after day, if the chains of that bed will not let you fly far and do what is interesting? Will there be any benefit in that? But, of course, money helps, certainly, but skills are more important. There are many situations in which no amount of money can buy freedom; at any moment, people risk their coins becoming no more valuable than the material from which they were minted, but as for skills... one can always feed oneself with them. In an urban area -- through work for one's neighbor, in the wild -- through the ability to obtain what is needed from nature.
-- And how about you personally, do you have a craft that feeds you?
-- Both for one? And in such a large city? But yes, coincidences happen, and you should see it more clearly, -- the girl shrugs her shoulders. -- I don't know how to resolve this paradox, if there is one, but real men are surely capable of sorting out feelings without my conjectures. And love can be platonic (some other broad-shouldered philosopher fitting the term could have been named here), which is also a wonderful kind, and doesn't even require friendly duels in the worst case, but I repeat, I don't know.
- Er, yes, you are probably right. And platonic love is, of course, for some. If I liked some woman, I certainly wouldn't want to be just a friend to her, no matter how beloved. But that's me, perhaps other people may look at it differently........

"I've been quite absent-minded lately."
— To be honest, I wouldn't have even thought to interpret your action that way, — the girl smiled encouragingly, — although it's simply pleasant for me to see someone enjoying the fruits of my labor, he-he.
"Alright, one small piece is fine. I haven't eaten anything sweet during the week. It's evening and I haven't sat down for dinner yet. I can allow myself once."
- Yes, not bad. And why do you work in Carneole? You could have opened your own confectionery or something. - Pausing for a moment, he continues. - To be honest, I didn't feel "happy," but I think that's fundamentally impossible, so alright, let's consider the task successfully completed. - Gives Alaria 625 rem.

- Hi, hi, - Ayano smiles perfectly. - I... I'm here on an important matter today, so I'll do without long introductions, as much as I might want them. D-day is approaching; that very day when we will return consciousness to Azarina-chan. I assume you're aware of what that means. We will wipe this god-forsaken cult from the body of Anuzish. We are — myself, Sonata-chan, her kids, Edgelord-kun, maybe one or two more people... and Bors-san. Believe me, I don't want to drag him into these affairs, but he swore to me not to get into trouble, and frankly, we need all the help we can get. However, I will understand if you don't want to let him go with us, - then we will leave him in Margel. Don't think that I am shifting the responsibility for this decision onto your shoulders — it is a collective decision. But if you are against it, he will stay weeding the garden beds, and no objections of his will help the cause. If it were up to me, I wouldn't take anyone with me at all, because any unpleasant thought on this matter would break my heart, and anyone else's. But nevertheless...
