☀️ Arselia and Akonia

After this incident, he continued his search, but without success, and by 6 a.m. he appeared on Carneol's doorstep, tired and defeated.

Fury was found sitting on the roof of the headquarters, and Ammu might have thought that the redhead was already awake, but in reality, she hadn't closed her eyes at all. Almost not sleeping for two days wasn't impossible for her, although it did require some effort to bring herself into a semi-sleep state of reduced energy consumption, during which she did some simple things interspersed with just calm thoughts. She composed songs, said a few kind words to Stallia if she felt that she was in the mood (although it's not a fact that the Saint could perceive anything at all)...

She wrote a little in her diary, deciding that her friends deserved a few words at this stage. In general, she usually didn't do this, but this night, there was some vague, unclear hope that their acquaintance wouldn't be too short, maybe she wouldn't have to write obituaries... It's absurd, actually. But let it be, following the mood is not a crime.

New entry

Beata -- 10/10. A daring, fair-haired circus performer, telling everyone about her supposedly dark, sinful past, but it looks more like self-deprecation. She saved her future husband from slavery -- what more can be said? Villains don't do that.

Gion -- 9/10 (sorry, Gion, I probably need to stop adding appearance ratings to my friends). The most unfortunate person I've ever met in my life, although with a caveat: Gion survived all his troubles, big and small, because many others didn't... I think that's an achievement.

Garrett -- he was definitely a bandit, but what was in his past life, remains in his past life... Perhaps he was influenced by the previous leader, or maybe by the Suzerain. Or maybe something else happened before he was summoned? If you think about it, death changes people. Now he is so professional, interested, and diligent that he can be an example to anyone.

Kilika -- a soft and sweet little kitty, carefree and kind. She moves gracefully, casting her spells on the fly. She is full of serene wisdom.

Kalina -- she found her calling in a nature-loving, otherworldly philosophy, once she saved our bodies, now she is trying to bring harmony to the souls of the parishioners of Ikigai.

Amamius -- tall, much taller than me, with a bold, confident gaze, Mr. No Problems. A lot of good things can be said, but now I'm afraid to write too much, because recently it turned out that his attitude towards me is not what I thought. He... My excellent herald, he is always on my side, he seems to sincerely praise me. I'm afraid that I might be too dangerous a match for him, because I have mostly seen only the death of those who are dear to me, and can it be any other way? But some part of me says that I don't want to stop what is developing between us. Maybe it's selfish. But promises have already been made, and we need to move on, otherwise, am I worthy of what fate gives me?

Penelope -- a former scout, who sheltered us in our hour of need. She knows everything about everyone, and I am convinced of this with every conversation. But her main passion is beauty, clothes, magazines, she is a prime example of a lady living in society and setting the fashion.

Erephir thus adds 346 to her experience, bringing the total to 1467. She hoped to get closer to understanding the path of Air, but so far she hasn't succeeded, so for the rest of the night, she simply holds hot coals in her hands together with nails taken from the forge, trying to get used to the new sensations. Additional consideration: the design of armor from liquid metal is already close, she will learn the path of Air, learn to control not only solid steel but also liquid, and then, after experiments and detailed analysis, it will be easy. Maybe she will be ready for the battle with the all-piercing Ruby. That would be nice.

The night passed, and the anxiety about Amamius only intensified, and it took a lot of willpower not to start fussing and looking for her fiancé in the sewers. And so, 6 a.m. arrives.

-- Good morning, you're late, the bath is already cold, -- she says, leaning her cheek, conveying this extremely important information.
