☀️ Arselia and Akonia Auto-translated

-- Your mood was philosophical after getting zero points at the casino. I won't insist, although I'll note that the ability to reason is not an ability in itself; you just need the courage to unravel the tangle of your thoughts.-- Wow, a good reserve for critical situations. Or... Or you can temporarily reduce a musician's charisma to zero and use this tool on an opponent, -- obviously, the last stratum was a joke.-- Thank you, Craig. And, by the way, I personally approve of the white light helmet too.

"It's already been useful."

-- To be honest, I don't fully understand how the last one works; this kind of ultimate salvation from all types of death seems more like supernatural intervention than blacksmithing. Or is it all red star magic?

- Any masterpiece is 1% miracle and 99% hard work.

-- Yes, perhaps...

"Perhaps I need to spend more Skill Points on blacksmithing and mechanical crafting, but I need to figure out how to do it in a way that also improves other characteristics. Only then will I reach my full potential and understand the workings of these unique items, allowing me to reproduce them."

-- So, what's next? -- Arivell.

- Forget it, it's obvious that this won't lead to anything good. Have you ever had moments in your life when you couldn't say something, but you also couldn't say nothing at all, and you had to resort to something like that, hoping that those you said it to would believe it, at least on those terms? I have, so I can understand her. There are only two options - to ignore it or to listen, and at this stage, I can't afford the first one," she paused. "I'm afraid the idea about the basement might be misunderstood... But the general idea is correct," she thought deeply, not even bothering to acknowledge the joke. "So, I guess I should leave her a message that I'll come by tomorrow... The only question is what to mention and what to leave out.

- I suspect that people would accept anything, as long as it's presented correctly. But yes, it might be easier for people to accept this situation with Ayano. Alright, guys, I'm going home to sleep, bye.

- She might misunderstand something like that... 😩

After parting ways with Buben, Garret and Harold go to Carnelian and check if Kilika has returned.

- Oh! Wouldn't you like to play for me in Abundance? I'm not interested in doing it myself, but I would watch you.

- Yes, yes, I believe you, - another sigh. - Okay. Probably, this is the least harmful option.

- How can I put it? I already participated in the test, and it turned out not very well, despite the high motivation in the form of the opportunity to win experience. And I'm not sure about the time...

"Maybe I can also experiment and use the red star to create something in the forge? Or, at my current skill level, will it most likely be a failure?" - she wondered, addressing the questions either to her own experience or to the universe.

- Baa baa... Then, let's go to Upgrade.

No.

- So, where exactly are we going? Good question at this stage, isn't it.
