☀️ Arselia and Akonia

- Ayano-sama, please teach me your wisdom, onegai shimas.

- I suppose it's me who should be learning from you and your sister when it comes to wisdom, - unable to resist such an emoji, she smiled and patted Ahuli on the head. - But if you want, then... Let's put it this way: healthy competition is better than the leveling-down approach you see in kindergarten. But this is only if it's a positive competition - be happy for your competitor's honest success, and they, in turn, won't look down on you, but will support you in taking the next step. The same is true in the opposite situation. And together, you will encourage each other to gradually become better. This is what I would like to see from the Diasan-tachi in the end. Maybe they'll even get a raise... - she said the last sentence very indistinctly and almost inaudibly.

- Lord Ravenage went into the forest on some personal business... Unfortunately, I can't contact him right now. But don't worry, Your Highness, I'm sure all his thoughts are only about you.

One could have been embarrassed, started to deny something, or, on the contrary, nodded with an expression of unwavering, confident smile, but instead, Ayano fell into thoughtfulness with a hint of anxiety.
- He probably didn't say what the matter was, but at least what emotion did he have when he left? Just please, don't say "no emotion" or "impenetrable." Even though it's sometimes not easy, knowing him for a significant amount of time, it becomes possible to determine such things. And did he leave calmly, or was he, say, checking to see if everything was in its place in his pockets?
