Happy Life
Auto-translated
The "daughter," who had been watching the upcoming performances and revelations in a daze, and whose "heart" was so affected that she almost had a corresponding attack, took several deep breaths using the Nihon system, suppressing the tremor throughout her body with sheer willpower, previously enhanced by Suza.
"Okamisama... give me strength," flashed through her deadened mind.
"My name is Ayano," she finally said, with great difficulty, restraining herself from saying "etto/ano." "Some of you may already know me as the head priestess of Kamimori, a shrine in the suburban part of the capital. It was built solely thanks to the benevolence of Her Majesty, as well as the help of the local kind people, for which I am deeply grateful. I am also equally grateful to all the kind and friendly people, friends, and colleagues that I have had the pleasure of meeting here. They have allowed me to feel a sense of belonging and warmth, and this emotion is completely mutual. Therefore, seeing our capital and Kriedaar in such a state breaks my heart. I can promise that if the bitterness of loss overwhelms your soul, the doors of Kamimori will always be open to you. Perhaps together we can find the strength to somewhat alleviate the pain and move forward. Any possible voluntary donations, down to the last rem, both those already collected and future ones, will be directed to the fund for the restoration of Kriedaar and the capital..." she added after a moment's pause. "Each of you is a representative of a strong people. It will be difficult, but we are capable of overcoming this. The main thing is to try not to give in to despair and not forget about those who remain by your side: whether it's a friend, neighbor, relative, colleague - it doesn't matter; we all need friendly support now more than ever."
Exhaling, she decides to wrap things up:
"And yet, today, according to Her Majesty, is not a time for mourning, but a dawn after a dark, rainy night. So, let's try to show strength and look at the new day with new hope. ...Thank you. And our sincere congratulations to Her Majesty," she concluded with the most exemplary and respectful bow possible, hoping that she hadn't made a complete fool of herself during this speech.

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