☀️ Arselia and Akonia

-- You're doing a good thing... I need to think about it, thanks for the information, -- the commander stroked her chin. -- I don't really do things like this often; it's hard to do good things on a large scale, and doing bad things isn't interesting. Is that all? Does it just require effort?

Maybe I should ask her to make me some unique kitchen utensils sometime, haha? That way, she'll even enjoy eating my cooking more! And I'll have a nice reminder of Carneola."
— Oh, but I thought I was already doing good things for you every day! 😒 — Alaria pretended to pout, — And help can be given in other forms as well. Like finances, which we are practically deprived of right now. We also accept items, if you happen to have anything. In theory, once we finish reading, we could donate the Emperor cycle to restore the imperial archive, — the feigned offense was replaced by a tired smile, — but that would require the consent and presence of all squad members who contributed their money to this series of books. Not everyone will want to part with such a collection, and it would be difficult to blame them for that. However, this is all for the distant future. Some of us still have a long way to go before finishing the cycle!
