☀️ Arselia and Akonia

– I wasn't planning on showing this, but at least now you see that your game is objectively excellent, without any allowances for familiarity, and I sincerely praise you. You've said the same about me before, but now it will be obvious. And you play more professionally; a foreigner is just very lucky with the selection of characters, from my point of view.

– You seem to have a hard time earning stars... If you could scrape together five, you could go learn from Baldur; it would help you in the future. Or maybe that's not the best use of them, I don't know. Regardless of your various skills, Ari, which element do you feel most drawn to? Have you ever thought about it?

– We can drop by the bar; you seemed interested in it too. Is there any progress on the event there yet...?

After submitting their assignments in Dryad, the duo discusses where to go next.

– What's this XXX, where do the models come from? – Harold inquired. – The name is like a brothel, although judging by these figurines, I'd say it's more like some kind of academy for noble ladies.
– No, I heard it's a cafe with cute maids, and you can choose who will serve you. – Garret recalled information gathered by Raphael. – Hmm, so these figurines are also a kind of advertisement.
– Just heard? I thought you had already explored the whole city in six months.
– There are plenty of establishments with good menus at a cheaper price, and if you're really broke, they also serve decent food in Carneol. – He checks the map. – By the way, there's an event there today; you can farm a star, and it's right nearby. Shall we go take a look?
– Sure, let's go. – They head off.
