Shimizu shrugged, which meant "Well, of course." -- Actually, don't you think that idle chatter isn't a very worthy pursuit for a true warrior? -- she said to the homeless man, trying to gesture vaguely towards the sky with the word "true warrior." -- Just please, tell us everything you know about this place. And then I'll come by, and we can talk... Or you can come to me. By the way, I'm Tsukiko Shimizu.
— Bah-bah, these sewers have been in this state for quite some time, and now you suddenly need them and are in a hurry. I know these places inside and out, but if you don't respect my wishes, I won't respect yours. Pff.

I hope this is on his dime! While waiting for work to begin, Nysho strolled around the city and took a look around. After her brilliant performance at the restaurant, the priestess headed to Aquilon. There was still time before nightfall, and she decided to take a swim in the pool and have dinner.
Having spent some pleasant time and enjoyed a delicious meal, Nysho met with the stranger from yesterday in one of the rooms at Aquilon. Today, he finally introduced himself with his real (?) name and said that his name was Elias. He held a small jewelry box in his hands, and a bag was visible behind his back.

Jack and Joe went for a leisurely stroll around the city, and One-Eye, having finished his pipe, followed them.(skipping 2 hours)
Upon returning to the Arcana Nox estate, the bandits were met with a gruesome sight: Dog was sitting tied to a chair, his eyes devoid of life, replaced by a frozen horror, and fresh blood was dripping from his mouth and chin.
— Your friend didn't make it, unfortunately, — Arcana Nox replied melancholically, — to be honest, I didn't manage to test everything I wanted, but oh well, since it came to this, I'll pay you the full cost of the services. Just leave the remains; they will still be useful.
Morning
- I'm looking for someone. He arrived in your town and was apparently planning to rent a place. I just can't remember his name, hmm... - Malice frowned and shook his head. - Can you help me? If he came to you, he should be recorded somewhere. He arrived just a few days ago.
— We sold two houses and rented out two houses in the last few days; it's quite possible that the person you're looking for lives in one of them, but unfortunately, I can't disclose this information. However, nothing prevents me from telling you the addresses of these four houses... But it will cost you.
— Bah-bah, these sewers have been in this state for quite some time, and now you suddenly need it and are in a hurry. I know everything about these places, but if you don't respect my wishes, I won't help you. Pff.
"That's what I thought." -- Well, alright, -- Tsukiko spread out a cloth and sat in a lotus position. -- I really want to listen to you. "Liar, liar, pants on fire."
After spending some quality time and enjoying a delicious meal, Nysha met with yesterday's stranger in one of the rooms of Aquilon. Today, he introduced himself with his real (?) name for the first time and said his name was Elias. He held a small jewelry box in his hands, and a bag was visible behind his back.
Nysha took the box from Elias's hands and asked. - What's in your bag? A bouquet of flowers and a bottle of expensive wine?
Небо – мольбы не ждёт Небо – угроз не слышит Небо – ведёт особый счёт Небо – тебя найдёт
“I have something in my bag that will make this night more interesting.” Elias didn’t let Nysha take the box from his hands, hid it in his jacket pocket, and wagged his index finger, “Dessert is eaten after the main course.”
- Nihon-style cutlet! - Elias chuckled and pulled a knife out of his bag.
Added 3 minutes later While the old man was telling his crazy stories, Alaria tried not to lose her vigilance. Just in case the sound of their voices attracted someone from the less... intelligent inhabitants of the sewers.
-- Alright, -- Tsukiko spread out a cloth and sat in the lotus position. -- I'm very eager to hear what you have to say.
— So, it's a very sad story, a true one... There was a young man who couldn't do anything, wasn't good at anything, didn't like people, and couldn't come to terms with the world... But then... he met the Duke's daughter... and fell in love with her... But he couldn't stand on equal footing with her... She was strong, worthy, and generally awesome... And he was just a regular guy... So he went to the wildlands and started training... Through pain and blood, he practiced surviving in battles against wild monsters... He honed his skills... And after a few years, he returned to his homeland... But the girl was already gone, in the afterlife... The young man fell into despair and spent the next few years just existing, not living... He knew no joy or fun... Well, it's some kind of dark Darik story, I don't know, he probably wasn't very bright. He overheard a conversation in one of the taverns and almost died laughing, but he just laughed to himself, because he looked very intimidating. Well, the moral of the story is this: I haven't seen any girls in a long time, and I'm probably going to die soon... It's sad. I wish someone would help me with this. No, not with death, I'm not in a hurry to go there yet, and besides, only the biggest fools commit suicide.
- And what do we have as the main course? - the Nihonka asked playfully.
— You, — Elias dumped the contents of his bag onto the bed — chains, a ball gag, handcuffs, and a mask.
- I understand. Taxes, fees, all sorts of deductions, - Melis put down two hundred Rumis.
– This… is a sad story, – said Tsukiko. Nothing else would probably have affected her, but the death of a loved one is truly a great pain. – But you can’t just give up like that. I, too, once lost someone I loved more than life, but I didn’t let it lead me astray from the path of a warrior. To be honest, that’s exactly why I chose this path. I wanted to be worthy of the one I loved. And then… well, you know, a person has an immortal spirit. Although, maybe you don’t believe in that.
-- Oh, damn... -- Joe blurted out. Jack and One-Eye had seen (and done) worse things in their lives, so they were more composed.
-- Yeah. Well, we were warned. Thanks for the money, anyway.
-- It wasn't her who killed him, Jack. It was us who killed him, we did! We just sacrificed one of us for not that much money.
-- Calm down, kid. Who knew he would die. Life is unpredictable, and people are short-lived.
-- If only there was someone to mourn, pfft. Let's think about how to spend this money wisely and get some more. I heard about a tournament; we can watch the spectacle and make some more money on bets.
-- Hmm, that's a good idea...
-- Are you guys completely nuts? One of our comrades died, and all you care about is money, -- Joe said angrily, turned around, and walked off in an unknown direction.
-- He'll calm down and come back. Let's go find out when the fights start.
Jack and One-Eye went to find out the start time of the tournament and learn about the bets.
