Alright, Aretz, shall we start with the ephemeral?

They are all armed with ephemeral blades and katanas.

Most likely, female units will primarily use ephemeral weapons, while male units will use katanas. So, let One-Eye shoot at one of the guards. He attacks from one side, and the other four attack from the other side. Agreed?

What should I do with this guy, Nebos? My last resort would be to go directly to the headmistress and ask about him, but that seems petty and childish, and she probably doesn't know anything either.

I have a feeling he's not needed.

/if you want, then okay.

One-Eye in Nokes, rifle loaded with topaz, pistol – with paralyzing rounds.

/maybe put on some armor too

/Thoroughly search him and check his camera. Most likely, he just wants to take pictures of what Ipomea is wearing under her skirt, for personal use./

— As far as we know, it is quite peaceful and, as a rule, does not attack people. Nevertheless, where it came from remains a mystery, and its possible behavior patterns are unknown to us. Considering this, and adding to it its habit of occasionally instilling fear in the inhabitants of remote settlements of the empire with its presence and stealing livestock, a decision was made to eliminate it. The issue is delicate, as it is one of the few in which the main supporters of the Faction disagree, but there is nothing to be done about it. In any case, this problem is not urgent – sooner or later we will use armed forces to solve this task, but if you think you can handle it, you can take matters into your own hands; this will be better for us and for the inhabitants of the region. As for the specifics of the targets, unfortunately, there is very little information, as no one has fought it before.

Oh, well, I'll sacrifice my hypnotized grandmother. She will die a brave death.
-So, I will be the first, and if I'm lucky, the last. Will I be paid if I manage to get rid of the dragon without killing it?
Well, what if we can negotiate with it? :)

Perhaps, after our mission. It's not a certainty.

It's too boring and takes too long to wait. I'll die and create an ally for Arandor and Alex.

Maybe he's just very lonely and craves female attention. He just doesn't know how to express it, so he steals livestock.

Considering the character limit per mission (and the overall success of the "Front"), that doesn't sound too threatening!

Somewhere in this world, half-dragons must have come from...

/thanks to a brave and diplomatic Knight

-So, I'll be the first, and if I'm lucky, the last. If I manage to get rid of the dragon without killing it, will I get paid for that?

Anyway, after answering this question, I'll go to the Ikigai gardens to meditate, maybe look for allies, or get some advice. At the same time, I might find out what this talisman I was given is for (although I have a feeling this talisman doesn't give any buffs, it just allows Usami to control me). After that, I'll act according to the situation.

I'll also buy a venison steak and curry.

Most likely, he just wants to take a picture of what Ipomoea is wearing under her skirt. For personal purposes.

This absolutely cannot be left without personal supervision.

- Alright, Mr. Stark, let's do this. Today, there's an important meeting taking place between very serious people, and it's mainly attended by major players and business people. The event requires special security measures, and your lack of affiliation with the media is a disadvantage in this case. However, we have no reason to deny access to a person who is essentially decent, as long as they don't cause any trouble. Therefore, you, like everyone else, will undergo a personal search, including your equipment, and in addition, we will need to check the footage you take at the end of the evening," Nano strictly raised her finger, not allowing him to interrupt or object. "Furthermore! I'm not saying this as a personal reproach, but as a formal warning - you are, of course, obliged to behave as politely as possible and not bother the guests with questions or photography if they are against it. Otherwise, you will have to leave the conference. If you agree to these conditions, then Beretta will let you in, and you can enjoy this wonderful evening.
- And one more thing," she looked him up and down. "You will undoubtedly want to take some pictures of Ms. Flox or her business partner - of course, you can, but don't get too close to the VIP area. And pull yourself together, take a deep breath, and count to ten, repeat this procedure often. As I said, special security measures are in place today, and while you are in the hall, you need to behave as calmly as possible, avoid making unnecessary sudden movements, and so on. For your own good - I hope this is perfectly clear?

— I was quite surprised,” Lymos admitted, “when this little guy said that there was something in the basement of my house, but nothing can be done about it now. Go ahead down, just don’t touch anything.”
Alaria, Elrina, and, as later confirmed, Altina follow the path described by Coleus and find themselves in a large, multi-level hall with many passages.
“Interesting,” Altina's voice echoed through the Dungeon, “I didn’t think we would get here without encountering some more underground monsters. Too much has been happening under the city lately.”
In the hall, they were met by a snake man named Gecko. Upon recognizing them as assistants to his boss, he introduced himself.

“Here are the documents,” he said, handing one of them his notes, which described the location of the Enclave base, the number of supporters of this Faction in the capital, as well as detailed characteristics of Taipan – what his combat stats are, his personality, habits, where and how he prefers to spend time, what weapons he uses, etc..
