☀️ Arselia and Akonia

- Uh... no... On the contrary, this person guessed the gift. See? - she shows a primitive spear, half-pulled out of her bag. - Survival is my specialty. I was just curious about what he might have prepared for Her Majesty. I'll find out anyway, but... you know, I'm a little curious. In the end, it will all be mixed together, and it will be impossible to identify the giver...

- Hmm... - she nods to Sonata, barely recovering from her daze. - Surprisingly, it's as if it transported me back to the old days. Long before... I didn't know he could play. Apparently, he's another man of many talents. It's strange how he ended up in his current position.

- Oh... oba-sama again. Just in case we have to be apart for a long time, haha, - she says to Sonata.

- Ano... - Aiyano frowns. - Did I understand the message of the picture correctly? Are you culturally appropriating us while I serve you on my knees? - she asks Sonata uncertainly and sighs. - Yun-kun is a great guy, but... I'll have to seriously educate him about the historical and cultural background. Otherwise, it could turn into an international scandal.

- O-o-o!.. I'll plant them near the Farrellian apple tree, and someday I'll return a whole basket of fruit grown here to him!

- Uh... this... Hmm, what a useless gift... It's a shame that Jiro-kun doesn't know about my situation... But I can see the good intention behind it, so... Arigato?... Probably, - she shrugs uncertainly.

- Fhuuu... Okay, so... I think we've figured that out. Hmm, can I earn a red star here? - 🤔. The question was apparently addressed to the daidjin-sama.

- All sorts of... opponents of "animal enslavement." - Graphite was embarrassed. - And cats are the simplest pets; we had two in our village.

- Hmm, in general, first impressions are often very misleading, but... Hey, you scoundrel with a tail, are you going to join the count's retinue? - to Sirrion.

- ...I hope there wasn't a magic lamp involved in the "wishes"? - the mountain man's eye twitched.

- Right today?... - the villager was momentarily taken aback. - Well, listen, pff... I wanted to, but considering the planned activities for the next few days, I might not have time, but... - sighing, he collected his thoughts and shook his head. - In our business, I could really use your help, but today is a holiday, there's so much to see in the city, and it would be absolutely unfair to miss the opportunity to ride the train.

- But we've already had a lot of fun, so maybe we can come back later!
