☀️ Arselia and Akonia

- Uh... - nihonka gestured for reimiika to lower her tone so that nothing unnecessary would leak out. - You know, for someone who carelessly accepts any possible life complications and even throws their name around left and right, you are showing surprising caution right now. Could it be because this matter does not concern exclusively your own well-being, the acceptable limits of which you can feel fully? But there is truth in your words. I will think about it.

- Well... Sacrilege - no, they were made that way specifically to be aesthetically pleasing. But still, it's better to understand what it is and what it's for. At the very least, it will further ease the owner's own soul, don't you think? Cute and useful at the same time - a "win-win", as they say in barb... I mean, just in reimiika-speak, - saying this, she darkened for a few moments and stared into the void before returning her gaze to Minako. - Hmm... Teaching it won't be hard if you already have experience; it's just that they also need to be consecrated. When we finish here, I'll show you how it's done.

- There is the frame they hang on. When it fills up, the same-// will be ritually burned. This doesn't mean that the wish written on them burns - on the contrary, it is believed that by then it has already been received by the universe. Parishioners... - she paused for a couple of seconds, recalling all the names. - There will be about half a dozen people. But in the context of your volumes, divide that number by two - some of them will be absent from the city. But those are the ones who have already been here; new people might also drop by, - 😉. - Uh... If a slippery-looking dwarf ever drops by and starts spouting something strange, tell him to behave himself. Otherwise, he'll be in for a bad time when I return.

- Thank you, Minako-chan, it's very nice to hear, I knew I could rely on you! But look - amidst all these things, don't forget that... In the end, such an activity should bring a certain satisfaction and spiritual nourishment to you yourself. Although the work is unusual, you should still understand that this is not a commercial enterprise, and its "success" is not measured by numbers. You don't need to try to "sell services", and you should understand that in the end, it may not be possible to help every person. The main thing is to approach the matter with a pure heart and try to guide people along the right vector, which - presumably, because calculating this is practically impossible - will eventually lead them to harmony with the surrounding world and peace within themselves. But you shouldn't have any problems with that specifically, - she smiles encouragingly. - ...And you know what else? If you suddenly have any... well, let's say, difficulties, or needs, or something along those lines, I'll warn the workers at [55]; if necessary, you can go there and they will help to the best of their ability. If something like that happens, don't hesitate for a second. Although, I understand how this sounds to you... but nevertheless - keep this option in mind.

Finally, she turns to Sonata with a frowning but incredibly serious expression:
- Sonata Reime... I still hoped that this day would never come. The Kamisama-tachi are witnesses - I fought it as much as I could. Finding myself in a country far from my own, I understood that the events of the past have no influence on the present, especially in your case. But I am only human, subject to passions, grudges, and dark thoughts... I cannot erase decades of what has grown in my memory and soul in one go. And even if I could - it would be unfair to all my comrades and ancestors who gave their lives in the centuries of our cruel interethnic conflicts. Therefore... The day has come when historical justice will be restored. When Reime pays Nihon for all its atrocities and oppressions. Do not ask for whom the bell tolls - it tolls for you, - after a sinister silence and reinforcing this with the darkest look possible, Ayano goes into the shamuso and comes out a few seconds later with three brooms. She gives one to Minako, takes the second for herself, and hands the third to Sonata. - Help me sweep the courtyard and we'll be even. These will be your reparations.
