🍁Nine Ancient Obelisks

Asmidul and Shiki get off the autodilijans and head towards the Temple, where they are supposed to kill the king on the orders of the Harranians or Calciteans. At the entrance, they see two faces: one familiar – Ikusi Sizki, and another unfamiliar – a solid-looking, very strong brunette with golden eyes.

—Well, we’re here, and we still have time for coffee. I don’t know what kind of negotiations you’re having, but it’s not something you’d entrust to just anyone. But anyway, good luck! And thank you for the good advice. I promise to remember it well. —He extends his hand to the samurai in farewell.

He then walks towards the entrance, respectfully nodding first to the king’s daughter, and then to the unknown, but probably equally important gentleman, waiting for his turn to speak:
—Your Highness, I am glad to see you in good health. Allow me to express my personal admiration for your heroic support in the recent events in the capital. I have brought an important foreign guest, who has an appointment with His Majesty.

He politely steps aside, allowing the main characters of this episode to continue with their introductions and interactions.
