He rushes over.

After assessing the finances and the overall budget for the event, Guion realizes that if they purchase everything honestly, they will have an orchestra consisting of three balalaikas accompanied by a drum, and that's if everyone that Beata brings agrees to work for free. He had a vague premonition that if he did that, that drum would end up on his head. Therefore, he will have to use all of his, excuse me, Anuzish, diplomatic talent.
- Good afternoon! - he addresses the saleswoman. - We need the help of someone who is well-versed in music and musical instruments, which is why I came to you. In anticipation of tomorrow's festivities, we are organizing a small circus performance. We need musical instruments and people who can play them, but, to be honest, our budget is very limited 😅. Nevertheless, this could be a good advertisement for both you and the performers! - he continued, trying not to think about what nonsense he was spouting. - The circus performance has been agreed upon with the city administration; after all the events, it is important to support the morale and joyful mood of the people! Therefore, we would be very grateful if you would consider the option of renting your wonderful instruments in exchange for advertising and... - he paused and sighed, - monetary compensation within our means. We would also be happy if you could remember any of your regular customers who might be interested.
"Gods, I sound like Beata."

Beata rushes to the place where the workers were.

- Hey, guys! Hello everyone, I'm glad to see you all! Who wants to help the city and earn a little money? My friends and I are organizing a circus performance tomorrow, and we need workers to prepare the stage and make it look beautiful! And I know how you work, and I know that you can handle it in no time! Margel needs to recover not only physically but also emotionally, so this is also work for the good of the city! Everyone who agrees will receive... - she calculated in her mind, - 20 rems, an invitation to the event, and gratitude from the administration and residents of the city, including me! I would gladly take all the volunteers, but five people will be enough for us! Otherwise, we will have to reduce the reward 😅, - she muttered the last phrase to herself.
