☀️ Arselia and Akonia

- I don't particularly favor such formalities when it comes to myself, although I do "indulge" in them when dealing with other people, so in everyday life, you can continue to address me by my name as before. However, within the sanctuary, as a sign of respect for the Kami-sama, of whom I am a guide, it would be best to use "miko-sama," - she shrugs slightly with a gentle smile, conveying the emotion of "such are the divine rules; we mortals cannot do anything about it."

- And you shouldn't take the prediction so literally that it harms your daily life, Lost-san, but you should definitely consider it from the perspective of being cautious in your daily activities and being mentally prepared for some troubles. For example, imagine a situation where you are going down the stairs in winter, and you have a choice - to hold onto the railing or not. You may not hold on and go down without any problems, but in a situation where you know that you may face failure, you should definitely hold on to the railing to avoid slipping and falling. The same applies, for example, to interacting with people - let's say, if you like to engage in heated discussions with your neighbor, it would be best to refrain from doing so for a while, because you will only exhaust yourself and possibly have a very serious falling out with him, which could have consequences. Or, let's say you decide to go to "Phantasmagoria" next week, and you will definitely lose something from your coat pocket when you leave it in the cloakroom - and this will not even be the fault of the staff, but simply the circumstances will align in such a way that something will definitely be lost. Or you might even get into some kind of unpleasant misunderstanding with a guard who patrols the entire area. So - reasonable precautions and a desire for personal self-improvement are what you should learn even from an unfavorable prediction. Do you understand? The amount of luck a person has is a variable that changes throughout life; it can increase or decrease against the background of a large number of factors - in a cyclical way. And to some extent, fortune-telling acts as a catalyst for your natural luck. That is, knowing for sure in which direction your luck will tend in the near future, you have the opportunity to prepare for this in advance, and if it is a less favorable cycle, then you can overcome it more quickly and meaningfully. But the most important thing is that you can learn a useful lesson from this. As I said above - "personal self-improvement," in other words, fate itself gives you a chance to reflect on some shortcomings, say, in your attitude towards certain things. For example, is it worth continuing to conflict with the neighbor from the example above? Is it worth continuing to get insufficient sleep, or, say, indulging in bad habits, or is it better to love yourself and take care of yourself? This is the main point, Lost-san," - Aiyano smiles encouragingly. - Life is not just a roulette with unpredictable results, although sometimes it seems that way, but a very complex system in which some links interact closely with others, ultimately creating the overall picture that we can observe with our own eyes.

- Wonderful. Then what do I need to do?... I wouldn't want to say it in front of everyone.

- Let's go to the haiden; there is a place specifically designated for this. Just take off your shoes before entering," - she gestures in the direction to go, and before going with him, she bows to the dark elf. - Gentlemen, please excuse me for a while.
