☀️ Arselia and Akonia

- Arigato, Klin-dono... Sometimes people forget this, but I'm just support - nothing more, nothing less. So... even though I could have done better, I'm still sincerely glad that you appreciated my efforts. Thank the Kami - if it weren't for them, neither we nor our allies would have succeeded... And you are doing great. You might not see it right away during the tournament, but you possess immense power. And I believe that you, more than anyone else, are capable of using it for good.

—My strength lies in supporting loved ones and comrades, and after your kind words, I feel it again. —she replies to the princess in a parallel reality. —The Kami are right, of course... By the way, I don't remember if I mentioned it, but I had the opportunity to visit your country Temple today. To be honest, I was very impressed by how close this place is to nature, similar to my homeland, not to mention the much deeper spiritual and peaceful atmosphere here. And your... student, I presume? She gave us a very warm welcome, helped us understand the details and provided explanations. Only... —he lowers his voice privately: —It seemed to me that by the end of the day, she looked a little... tired from helping so many people in need. Please don't think that I'm saying this with any negativity, and certainly not that I want it to lead to one. But considering, um, the obvious popularity of this sacred place due to various factors, including today's... It seemed to me that it might be a good idea to find another... well, so that all the priestesses of the Kami have the opportunity to... spiritually recharge. I apologize again if I'm interfering, I'm not very good at such delicate matters, and I probably shouldn't offer my important opinion. —he bowed his head guiltily.
