🍁Nine Ancient Obelisks

Scar worked as the manager of the Sugar Arena, and therefore felt at home in the Citadel of Merriment, although, to his great disappointment, he didn't receive any secret buffs because of it.

- What a cool guy, - says Tylo Bocchi to Erika, blocking the line of sight of her monocle, - I shall call him... the Black Knight! Do you think it's a suitable nickname?

– Well, okay, – the Lunarian passed her verdict. – As it turns out, the mansion is responsible for paying for the services of my subordinates. Therefore, your position will be "bodyguard of the mansion owner, senior in the mansion's security." Let's go fill out some boring paperwork!

When the bureaucratic routine was over, the newly appointed bodyguard showed Camistelle his face, hidden under the helmet. He looked like a man in his 30s, with hair the color of walnut shells and expressive crimson eyes. His face seemed wide due to his well-developed cheekbones and jaw. He had no facial hair, and his nose was straight.

"In a way, I am a sacrifice myself." - the young man thought, taking a sip from his cup.

- Never mind, I think we'll get along. - He patted Revan on the wings. - I certainly hope that in my life I will not have the opportunity to, out of desperation, for the sake of knowledge or experience, have to consider the value of human souls. But as a person with a scientific mindset, I cannot rule out all (im)possible life twists. Thank you again. I suppose it would be better not to let overly fanatical people see such a thing, right?

- It depends on the nature of these people, but in general, yes, to avoid misunderstandings and disappointing incidents, it is better not to tell everyone you meet about it. I do not know exactly what these idols are, but I have heard two common opinions: according to the first, they are minor deities of the type of Nammu Ai, Shiris, and Nanaya, while according to the second, they are aliens or cosmic beings that have entered our world.
