☀️ Arselia and Akonia

- Yes, she performs great, I wouldn't be able to do that.

-- Likewise.

"I was just thinking that arranging an exchange of experience between Aconia and Carneol might be very effective. I sense such persistence in Anpan, which may be a character trait, of course, but it may also be the result of training, possibly those very training sessions based on the otherworldly Remian Empire, which Alaria also underwent in her time. Yes... I'm very interested in how the left pillar of Sonata is handling this issue. Of course, if she agrees, I will have to meet the requirements myself, which is a great responsibility."

"However, it sounds as if I have the right to be inferior to the left pillar in something. No, for the sake of Carneol and the Crown, I don't. Just think, and they appointed me as the right pillar, and the foreign empress with several hundred points of beauty – as the left. Although I am left-handed myself, I perfectly understand what this means to most people..."

Only now does the knight realize with whom she will apparently have to compete. In her past life, she wouldn't even have thought about something like this, but now it has simply become one of many tasks... Impossible tasks, if Erephir had been asked objectively yesterday. Tasks that need to be completed, if you look at today: since the Suzerain, with her actions, made it clear that the redhead can do it, then it was so, and besides, she was supposed to. And the dragon was mentioned before the cult, everyone understood that this political gesture said the same.

So... How much beauty and charisma does the heroine need to acquire to make the task feasible? Ugh, let's set the bar at 50 for now, and write that down in the diary later, although it felt like it might not be enough. There was a lot of work to be done in front of the mirror.

Alaria - welcome!

She welcomes Alaria loudly, nodding at Anpan, as if saying, "Get ready to be dazzled, but it's better not to blink so you don't miss a single millisecond."
