☀️ Arselia and Akonia

- Love inspires, but it also dulls the mind, - Arivel explained to Erefir, imparting perfect wisdom, - that's what the head of our village said, so we need to be vigilant.

-- Well, okay. And yet, don't get me wrong, but I don't think it's appropriate to interrogate someone we went through batons 🏏, butterfly explosions 🦋, and bombings 🎇 with, - said the redhead, flashing metal ✨. -- Just kidding, of course, it just seems like you're having a casual conversation, but I just want you to understand our past.

-- So, how was it... How was your meeting? Did anything interesting happen while we were apart? - she shifts her gaze from Amchik to Ariv and back. - By the way, I wanted to show you something...

Erefir has planned: the rune of Akonia on the Hourglass of Creation (again, if it doesn't interfere with upgrading it later, and if the rune doesn't fall off after such an upgrade), the rune of the Playful Rabbit on the Hourglass of Kumari, upgrading the Hourglass of Creation with Grevan's ability, the rune of Yanagi on it (-2 OD, -3✹)

- Princess Aiyano? Who is that? Oh! The one from the painting... Well, if she's a princess, she's probably seventeen? A forty-year-old princess would be both funny and sad, ha-ha-ha! Although... Hey, gray kittens, what do you think - maybe this is a trick question?

Sorry, friend, we try to deliberately keep quiet about such contests so that quiz players can show all their power and intuition, and the power of their intellect. Good luck 👍

The importance of the tournament was emphasized by the appearance of the Empress, who decided to please her subjects and motivate the fighters with her own vocal performance.

"Your Majesty," - the nosenrot stood at attention, as befits her, but did not attract undue attention. The appearance of the Empress really said a lot; she needed to try to show herself in the best possible light after the previous failure. And if necessary and possible, she would apologize sometime....

motivate the fighters with her own vocal performance.

"A sad and touching song, spoken from the heart, My Suzerain."
