☀️ Arselia and Akonia

- It's simple: "miss" is used to address an unmarried woman, and "mrs" is used for a married woman.

- Then, "miss" it is.

- I understand, thank you!

Kiu.

- Well, you should still think about it, because many of us don't have anyone, but you definitely have many close people who would be upset if something bad happened to you.

- I've had enough time to think about it, An-chan, and I will be no less upset if something bad happens to your mentor or her students, who have invested so much effort and bright hopes. And as I said before, it's not worth judging people by numbers, whether it's close ones, characteristics, the amount of gold in your wallet, or anything else – this approach can eventually lead to a gradual hardening of the soul. Even if you don't have close people today, it doesn't mean they won't appear tomorrow, and vice versa. However, some of my close ones are coming with us, so by working together, we will all be able to achieve the best result and avoid the worst.

- I see, I understand.

An approving kiu for the pleasant conciseness.

- Well, like, once we free them and return them to civilization, they'll have to bear the offspring of their tormentors... That's not good, so I'm thinking – maybe we should show them to some underground doctor so that he can...? Well, remove them with forceps or whatever they use. What do you think?

- I think that this is definitely not something we should be concerned with, and besides, we shouldn't worry about such details too early and divide the body of an uncaptured kayanka. We cannot know in advance what physical and psychological state they will be in, and how many souls they will have, if any at all. But even if we assume that everything will turn out exactly like that, none of those present here has the divine right to decide such a question, not to mention the simply legislative right to challenge the emperor's will. We will hand over the victims to medical and psychological care – SUPRA-ground; and depending on their number and condition, it will be clear situationally where exactly. The rest is up to the specialists and the decision of these women themselves, if they are capable of it and the chance for some "solution" is possible in the legislative field under such circumstances.

Clapping her hands to round off the thesis, she continues.
- Okay, let's move on. You will be guided in battle by a familiar face from your mentor, so I will only outline the main conceptual points. During the excursion, no one goes anywhere on their own – neither to "check out this room," nor to "press this lever," nor to "pick up and read this diary/unidentified drink/unclear chest," etc. What may be permissible within certain limits may be fraught with any complications in our case. In addition, we should not forget that you are not "explorers-adventurers," but Her Highness's combat squad, which imposes a special status and requirements for maintaining discipline. Although, I believe that you have already understood this yourself in recent months. All of the above applies to the trip as a whole – we will not be able to avoid standing out within our group, so we do everything quickly, clearly, and organized. You should always be in the field of vision of your comrades, and they – in yours. No wandering off to the side, flirting with the locals, and so on, especially since the enemy may be hiding not only in our complex. If we do well, then on the way back – either in another, more peaceful setting – you will have time for such leisure, but not now. And, although it doesn't make sense to say it separately for such worthy young people, – do not forget that ultimately you are Her Highness's soldiers, which means that in any situation you must maintain a dignified appearance, and your actions must be measured and such that they do not reflect negatively on her.

- ...perhaps that's all for now, – she nods to Sonata, so that she can say her part.
