☀️ Arselia and Akonia

- Bors-san, - Aya-no says sternly, then leans towards the vegetable, so that only she can hear. - Lol... I mean, Azarina-chan, keep in mind that these dishes are more caloric than they might seem at first glance. Don't let their apparent harmlessness fool you, okay?..

- Sonata made this outfit for me, so... And, by the way, the quotation marks are unnecessary; the ruling dynasty of Reima had Nihon blood, and many cultural elements were borrowed, so... So... I don't know what I wanted to say.

- Really? - Aya-no looks at Sonata with suspicion before answering herself. - But how would you know? You're a relic. As am I... Ahem... - however, if Sonata had made a small effort to read between the lines, she could have seen some notes of self-satisfaction in the macro-princess's mimicry, clearly indicating that she did not see this situation as oppression based on cultural appropriation, but as a real cultural victory of Nihon over the meaningless postmodern Reima. - This yukata suits you very well, Azarina-chan; it's as if you were born to wear it. Which, of course, is not surprising at all, because the culture of Nihon is focused on aesthetics and favors individuals who are physically and spiritually beautiful, regardless of their ethnicity... I would like you to tell me what happened since then. Miss Cosmos works in very strange ways, - she shows Pyon-kun's pendant (which was taken at the airport for the sake of narrative coherence, rather than sent to the villa). - What do you say? They say she's a popular woman in your world, but I've only seen her... twice. It seems that someone can even get bonuses from her in Anuzish, but this will put him in an awkward position in terms of communicating with the rest of the world.

- Well, that's all irrelevant now! - A pure-blooded Reima woman, without a drop of Nihon blood, clapped her hands. - Maybe we should show you the city instead? There's a lot of interesting things happening today, and such an event will not repeat very soon!

- Oh-oh-oh! Great idea! If some factor like "a newly awakened person needs rest" doesn't suddenly appear, this will be a perfect option! Although... we've already seen some part of the city. But wait... what do you mean by "it will repeat, albeit not soon"?.. Calm down, sister, in this federation, as they say...
