☀️ Arselia and Akonia

- Aha-ha... ha... y-yes... sometime.

No, no, I just brought the situation you started to its logical conclusion, that's all. If you hadn't been able to understand the feelings of these gentlemen and give them wise advice, this result would hardly have been possible. If I were to become Empress again, I would definitely invite you to be my right hand and in charge of public relations.

- We got lucky this time. And from such an assumption, I feel that a certain person would experience an emotionally-psychosomatic fire of not the most pleasant kind. So it's good that it's not like that.

And yes, the sword thing is over, we can go home, you just underestimated it... - Pulling out a tray with the fifteenth Aconian stone, she tossed it up and pretended to chop, but instead caught it with her free hand. - Okay, that's all a joke. Shall we go?

- Ahem... - the priestess coughed. - Do you know that this thing can be extracted from its carrier, preserving his life?... By appealing to the Kami-sama and performing a Nihon ritual of purification. But if it possesses you, I... I don't know what can be done about it. Most likely, nothing. So... Please, don't joke like that," she said, suddenly frowning and sighing. - ...I forgot to ask the gentlemen if they had encountered Lovra Untroye. Hmm... And how far is it to the airship from here? Don't you want to check it out? Although... Perhaps, with our cargo, that would be irresponsible. Okay, let's go to the rendezvous point.
