Why did they even hire Alex and his crew, with such a squad of terminators?

In the grocery store on the main street, self-service was practiced.

The girl named Azuria Fox, judging by her badge, was selling the goods.

So, did they actually invent airships? It's a shame Seliad didn't live to see this day.

- Hi-hi! And you, as always, look like you just stepped out of a magazine, - Nano smiled broadly and winked conspiratorially.
- And I saw you this weekend! With one interesting gentleman. I wanted to say hello, but there was such an... atmosphere between you... - Melissa closed her eyes and sighed languidly. - Keep it up!

Yeah, it’s true that due to the high production cost, they currently exist only in small quantities, mainly with the armed forces of Akkerwald and Larian, as well as with private individuals who ordered them from Reimford in Reimport (lol).

— Welcome, — the host’s face twisted into an unpleasant smile, — come inside.

— We are glad to meet you, — the Areidians followed Jayl. — So, how can we help you this time?

— I don't even know what you're talking about... — It was hard to tell if she was really denying it or if Tiella was just trying to downplay what she had heard. — But to get to the point, today the following types of tasks are available: performing security duties during an important meeting, conducting interviews, conducting surveys, and a personal request from Minos Kalamansi. Which of these interests you?

Alaria already knew what she was going to buy, so choosing the products didn't take her much time. After making sure everything was there, she approached the saleswoman and prepared the required amount.
Eggs x4 (160), milk x3 (120), lemon x3 (120), sugar x3 (60), cream x1 (40), and tomato (x30) = 530

- Yes, you can practically do all of that in the first half of the day. Okay, we understand the first part, but what is this personal request about?

– Nice to meet you, – the Araidians followed Jale. – So, how can we help this time?

– Today, we will need to meet our fearless leader, or rather, guide him through the system of underground tunnels located beneath the city. Unfortunately, he has no information about the part of these tunnels that leads to the exit to the capital, so this task falls to us. And since I managed to get a map just the other day, the task will be quite simple, but I decided to play it safe and figured that your group's slippery skills might come in handy. Or maybe not, but it's always better to be prepared. However, the task will begin a little later, and we are still waiting for another person to arrive, so for now, you can be free and enjoy the opportunities of the capital.

Okay, we understand the first part, but what about the personal request?

– Minos Kalamansi is one of those who regularly helps us solve various problems. You can consider him your competitor or colleague, – Tiella smiled as she said this, – depending on what you prefer. I don't know the details; you can find out from him. He is currently performing on the central street in support of the petitions he wrote, so he should be there. Of course, provided that he hasn't been taken away by the police, ha-ha.

— Today, we need to meet our fearless leader, or rather, guide him through the system of underground tunnels located beneath the city.

I already know who will be guarding the lever.

- Oh, yes, I saw something about him in the newspaper, - the girl pondered for a couple of seconds. - Then I'll start with him, since his time is limited, - colleagues should help each other. I just hope that my employees won't tie me up with him. And that his request is within reasonable limits. You will post bail for me if anything happens, right? - Nano made a playful face. - Just imagine these burly guys roughly throwing me into a dungeon, into dampness, mold, and tuberculosis, and your heart will instantly be filled with compassion! She waved to Tielle from the doorway.

-- Wow, -- muttered Joe.
-- Great, we'll take a walk and come back in a few hours.
First, the group decided to head to "Ultimate Luck".

Recalling her recent trip to Erathia, Elrina could say that the city did not make a special impression on her; however, she could quite understand why such peripheral points of concentration of large finances (not always legal) at the intersection of numerous trade routes were able to adapt to the innovations of the latest era in the shortest possible time and, quite possibly, in the future grow into major business centers.
As for the capital, its changes occurred too imperceptibly for the permanent local residents to be objectively tracked. Elrina only noticed, for obvious reasons, that she visited Imperial Street, where her estate used to be located, less and less often. Now, she exchanged her numerous servants, carriage, and huge mansion for a small, comfortable apartment in one of the capital's districts. Her relations with representatives of the aristocracy also partially deteriorated, and therefore in the aforementioned area she only occasionally used the services provided by Aquilon.
In recent years, Elrina's affairs and activities were, willingly or unwillingly, mostly connected with the Center of the city. In addition to the "Reimford" building, of which she was a shareholder, she was sometimes offered state work in the Imperial Palace, which could be considered a great success, given the not-so-favorable relations between her and Sonata. One way or another, now Elrina decided to visit this particular place, the residence of the main official faction of Reima.

Alaria already knew what she was going to buy, so choosing the products didn't take her much time. After making sure everything was in place, she approached the saleswoman and prepared the required amount.

— Thank you for your purchase! — said the saleswoman, giving Alaria her change. — Come again!

She waved goodbye to Tiella from the doorway.

Minos Kalamansi's speech on the main street was in full swing. Judging by the leaflets that his hired young people were handing out to passersby, his petitions to the government today aimed at repealing the ban on deadly Tournaments, allowing brothels to open, and manufacturing and using substances prohibited in the empire.

— ... Regardless of how a person earns their living, they benefit society. Without people working in the fields, we would starve; without employees in the mining industry, we wouldn't be able to produce anything. And a simple janitor is one of the most noble and useful professions for society. No one wants to live in filth, and everyone feels better when the streets they walk on are clean and pleasant to look at. But there are also useless and even harmful "professions" in our country. People who sit on their backs all day and do nothing but come up with new restrictions and prohibitions for the society that has entrusted them with the reins of power over the country. And the money they receive is, of course, higher than that of the same janitor. The citizens of the empire are educated and independent individuals, so they don't need a group of freeloaders deciding what they can and cannot do.
...
Minos Kalamansi's speech continued for some time before ending. The man thanked the listeners for their attention and the signatures collected, after which everyone began to disperse.

First, the gang decided to go to "Ultimate Luck."

Entering the establishment he had chosen, the Areidians found themselves in a room resembling a gambling den. There, sitting on a comfortable crimson-colored sofa, was a fashionably dressed Nihonjin; around him were menacing-looking men in business suits. One stood behind the bar, while others acted as security guards. A very "modestly" dressed girl served drinks. Noticing the newcomers, the leader turned his attention to them and smiled.

— Welcome to Ultimate Luck, guys! I haven't seen you before, but it doesn't look like you're new to the capital — your eyes have that experienced look. But where are my manners? Have a seat. I am Kawakami Ryunosuke, pleased to meet you.

Elrina decided to visit this particular location of the main official faction residence of Reima.

In the eastern block of the palace, Elrina was led to Alice DimmLight, the coordinator of actions for the supporters of Sonata Reima.

After finishing with the formalities, she asked if Elrina would be willing to dedicate her time and help to solve the problems that had arisen in the city.
