☀️ Arselia and Akonia

- Well, lunch has already been served, so there won't be much to do until evening, but if you want, come by. It will really help us.

— Heh, hard to argue with that. In that case, if nothing urgent comes up, I'll stop by in the evening.

Idly waiting for dinner wouldn't be very wise or productive. Moreover, Carneol might need her for something, so she shouldn't forget her duties to the squad. But before that, it made sense to stop by a couple more places. And so, after saying goodbye to Marei, Alaria headed towards "Grace". Of course, the Kumarian journal and the brand-new book from the surprisingly generous stranger were still in the library, but that wasn't enough for avid Carneol readers. So, it made sense to look for something new in advance, in case the bookstore was open. Otherwise, someone else might buy it.
