Since this wasn't her first visit to the administration, Elrina understood that all the information regarding her modest capabilities had already been collected and analyzed, and therefore, without much hesitation, she replied affirmatively, awaiting further details regarding the assignment(s).

Having finished her shopping, the Tanarian woman returned home, prepared a meal, and then went to the palace to check if there was any work available.
I'm preparing one soufflé and three semifreddos. In my clothes.

Since this wasn't her first visit to the administration, Elrina understood that all information regarding her modest capabilities to assist had already been collected and analyzed, and therefore, without much hesitation, she answered affirmatively, expecting further details regarding the assignment(s).

— Excellent. — Alice spent a few moments searching for specific papers in the drawer of her desk. — Since the capital's police force was unable to cope with the constantly increasing workload, a temporary solution was adopted: to enlist the help of volunteers from among the supporters of the Empress to quickly resolve various city problems. — By this point in the conversation, Alaria had arrived, and in order to save time on explanations, the coordinator allowed the secretary to skip the introduction. — At the moment, I can offer two tasks: investigating a murder and searching for stolen paintings.

Melissa listened to Minos's speech with great skepticism. She herself despised the soulless and inefficient state apparatus and valued individual freedom, but there was no doubt that this man was more concerned with gaining political influence to fulfill his business ambitions than with the well-being of ordinary citizens. "However, does it even matter to me?" she dismissed the unnecessary thoughts. "Interesting speech," she said, walking up to the politician. "I didn't expect to see so many people here."

– Similarly, but this is a good sign. The more involved ordinary citizens of the empire are in the country's political processes, and the more they strive to think critically, the better it is for all of us!

Walking down the emerald street, Halmeldir noticed the changes that had taken place here over the past three years, although some things remained the same, including a couple of shops he had visited before. Much has changed since then, and the approach to warfare has changed significantly, which has consequently affected the artisans who make weapons and armor. The latter are now mostly amateurs, which makes it even more surprising that the plate armor shop is still open. This fact piqued the elf's curiosity, so he decided to visit "Ladan."

I need to find some clothes, and then I can go to the sewers in my new outfit.

- Yes, this is an obvious sign that many people have questions for the current government. But let's not delve into that now, - she waved her hand. - You are the famous Minos Kalamansi. And I am Nano. Nice to meet you. I am here to carefully listen to your "personal request" and provide appropriate assistance.

Shall we do quests together, Hero?

— That’s great, but let’s not stand in the middle of the street. I know a very nice place where we can discuss the details. Shall we go?

- Let's go.

"Go ahead," Minos ordered an espresso and a souffle omelet for himself.

- There's no need to apologize; it's not your fault that all these changes are happening in the country right now. Technological progress is moving forward, but the authorities are probably not concerned about those whose livelihoods are becoming less in demand as a result. Isn't that right?

“Perhaps…” Ertela replied hesitantly. “Maybe the craft of our family is just a relic of the past and has no place in the modern world.”
