- You know, Aiyano, you look young, but from your words, one might think you are an old woman, wise with life experience; don't take this as an insult, because it is purely a compliment to your eloquence and the words of wisdom that flow from your lips. Are you, by any chance, a servant of the Church?
- Why her, and not me?! - Ordermade suddenly interjected. - What am I worse at?
- Calm down, Tom. It's just a guess, I might be wrong - I know, it's hard to believe, but it happens.

- And what if I were? Would that change anything? Would it save you from sin? And you still haven't revealed anything about your own background, Sambrozia-san.

- I don't attribute imaginary achievements to myself! - Nodding to Pipdorm, he prepared to receive the shot from his bow. - Ha!! - When the arrow was a meter away from him, Katsukoi split it in half with his spear. - See, I didn't exaggerate... In all due respect to my ancestors, they lived in very different times, and the culture and socio-economic circumstances were different, so trying to emulate them is a losing proposition. But otherwise, hmm, I suppose I should thank you, it's good food for thought, but there is one problem - it is unlikely that I will be accepted back into that very society after everything I have done, and I am not going to lose my freedom or hang on the gallows.

- Cool! - Aiyano nods. - So it's better not to shoot at you with a bow. But think about this - ancestors are not only those who lived 500 and 1000 years ago, but even in the previous generation. The difference is not as significant as you think, but even if we are talking about ancestors from a thousand years ago, they also had their hardships and difficulties, and not everything went as they would have liked. Nevertheless, through their work, they built a certain position for themselves in the world, and now it turns out that all this was just so that their descendant would go robbing in the forest. Is that right? You could move to another city or province, or even another country, or to some frontier, and live there without any wrongdoing. Society is not so monolithic, it does not have a centralized body that magically distributes a social rating that sticks to you forever. You can always find some other way out.

- Okay, uh, just a minute, - the guy spends some time rummaging through his bag, and then pulls out an old-looking notebook, - here, I keep everything in my diary. Okay... Five months on a construction site, six months as a salesman in a store, two months as a watchman, seven months as a janitor, a month handing out flyers, two months as a loader. And I was rejected... Anakimus, we worked together in the store, said that I was too short for her; Azeretta, the headmistress of the school where I worked as a watchman, said that I was too young; Aglia, a neighbor and childhood friend, said that I was a good guy, but that she did not have romantic feelings for me; Arantia, a nurse where I worked as a janitor, said that I earn too little, although we are paid approximately the same; Argaya, a former classmate, told me to kill myself and never approach her again... She was a failing student in school. And Avria, just an acquaintance, said that I was too boring. - Sighs. - A dream?... I don't even remember anymore... But you say all this, even though you probably wouldn't even agree to pay attention to me if we met under normal circumstances, right?

- Who knows? For me, integrity is important in a person, everything else is secondary. But I am not free, so my example is not valid, but I will say this - as long as you sit in this forest, neither women become freer, nor does the cause to which you could dedicate your life come closer. Sometimes life knocks the ground out from under your feet or gives you a punch in the gut - that is its usual quality. But as an athlete, you understand that the main thing in such a case is to get up and keep going. No one else will do it for you, and to slide off the path and fall under a bush is a simulacrum that will not lead you to anything in the end.

- So, uh, right now, - the former guard hands Aiyano a notebook with notes, which, for example, contains testimonies from Riikumeri's classmates, according to which on the day X she was going to visit "we will be beautiful". - You can keep it. I have already stained my honor, and there is no way back to the guard.

- Thank you, Escap-2-san, - she replies, quickly flipping through the pages. - This case will definitely be completed. There is enough injustice in our world, so let's eliminate at least one of them.

Author

- Such questions should be resolved by someone like Naria or Draco Mellis, in a legal sense, we are powerless with you.
- Aiyano-sama, - Ahuli also whispered, - what do you mean by "small blood"?

- Yes, I got carried away... And "small blood" means without "bodies," robberies, and beatings. It's unlikely, but we can never be sure...

Author

- But I don't do anything like that! I repeat - I don't! I just heal these people and help them in various magical ways, I don't harm anyone myself! I don't even touch women! Therefore, I am not guilty of anything! Not guilty!

- Well... In a certain sense, this is commendable, and I can understand it on a human level. But there is also the concept of complicity... - she sighs. - You have chosen a very thorny path in life, Ordermade-san...

Author

- Ladies, ladies! - Melty Sambrozia turned her attention back to the travelers. - Won't you tell us what brings you here? After all, you are a rather unusual quartet.

- Hmm... On business. We are unraveling some old knots. What is so unusual?

My sword, my trusted ally, unphased by my aspect.
