🍁Nine Ancient Obelisks

—In a way, that's probably a good thing... But aren't you worried about yourself and your business?

- The head of the community was talking to Kamistella, whom I met in Mazzar, and suggested that she come with me. Kamistella asked why the community had "isolated" itself from the rest of the city's inhabitants. I have no idea what's so "wrong" about that question... I didn't say anything, I just sat next to her...

Erika "racked her brain" and began to list the items she saw in ???

- Mostly, they were selling various figurines... But there was one strange item... It seemed to be called "Zagadochnost'".

Erika described what this "Zagadochnost'" looked like.

- It didn't look like anything else, but I didn't pay much attention to it...

- Heh. I knew a girl who looked at everything through a scientific lens; maybe you'd get along with her. ...Um, is it okay if I use "you"? It just seems like I've known you for a hundred years, your holiness, I don't know why. Although, I'm sure every other tipsy Calcitec says something similar. But recently, I was told that using "you" is a faux pas. So now I'm not sure.

Genza falls to his knees, his hands digging into the ground, preventing it from touching his face:
- It... It's certainly pleasing that our goddess is so popular... - his hand clenches into a fist and slams against the floor. - But I wanted to cover all my walls with Shirikha...
Gritting his teeth, he rises and directs a determined gaze at the eyes of Fira:
- I will wait for my moment. Well, if I can't do that, then I guess I'll have to show my respect in another way, - reaching into his pocket, Genza pulls out clinking, sparkling rems. - I'm ready.
