While the group was at the amphitheater, Elrina also decided to sign up for the running competition, the beauty contest, the dance competition, and the ephemeral shooting contest.

Based on the limited information, the city administration couldn't find anything specific about the unknown symbol, but they did point out to the trio that the angel is a family symbol of the Bringwish clan.

-- Not at all.
"There were difficulties before, thank you for your timely interest."
-- According to Japanese military traditions, I challenge you to a duel, Takahiro-san. In the square, (states the time, approximately in an hour). I will inform the healers. Also, I will personally challenge all inhabitants of the Fortress who are capable of fighting. Do you accept the challenge?

“Wait a minute,” the not-so-young Nihonjin said, surprised, “what’s gotten into you all of a sudden?”

-- According to Nihon's warrior traditions, I challenge you to a

friendly duel.

After thanking the administrator, the group headed to the Bringwish's house.

Why didn't I know about this...

"I once heard that a warrior needs constant practice in their skills."
Nihonka smiled calmly.
-- Let's just have a battle. I'm sure that almost everyone I challenge will be surprised. Do you accept?

Too low a rank to know or remember them.

— No,” the Fortress commander refused, “if you need practice, ask someone from the young ones; it will be more useful for both you and your opponent; but remember: if you don't have a good reason to challenge another warrior to a duel, don't do it – don't disgrace yourself.

After thanking the administrator's employee, the group headed to the Bringwish house.

At the specified address, the group found a small but pleasant-looking house. An elderly butler inquired about the purpose of their visit.

“We’re looking for a young man,” Alaria repeated the description she had received from the saleswoman at “Lightian Souvenirs,” “and we’d like to ask him a few questions.”

– You must be referring to the young Master Estilion. What brings you here?
– We’re from the police,” Altina explained to the old man and showed him her ID.
– Just a moment.

– Estilion Bringwish at your service.

— Thank you for taking the time to speak with us, Master Estilion, — Alaria decided to get straight to the point and showed the young man the ring and necklace found on the corpse, — are you familiar with these pieces of jewelry?

“Interesting. I won’t say anything about the ring, but I’m very familiar with the bracelet: I bought the same one for a friend of mine about a week ago.”

— Can you tell me more about your acquaintance?

— I don’t think I can tell you much more. Sana Rithngton is a lovely girl whom we met during a small concert in the amphitheater. We spent the rest of the day together, and as a token of my affection, I gave her this bracelet. Unfortunately, we haven’t seen each other since then. I had thought about visiting her, but I decided it might seem unwanted or intrusive, even though she said she lives alone.

— Thank you for your assistance. The surname Rittington was familiar to Alaria, even though she had never personally met any of its bearers. However, she knew that the owner of "Dignity" bore that surname. Although this did not necessarily mean that he was actually related to the victim, the tanar considered it reasonable to pay him a visit.
