-- Never mind... Maybe you'll do it... I mean, will you start working on something as a test while we go explore?

I really want that Ukrainian morning glory...

You're really dreaming, aren't you?

— Weapon or armor?

- If it were up to me, I would definitely let it go, - Nano said, trying her best to maintain a calm demeanor. - But it's not my decision. Perper, right? Perper, please, don't make a scene. If you start shouting, a two-meter-tall security guard will come out of this room, and I won't have time to explain that you're just a disappointed student. He's very... intense, that's why they hired him for this job. He hits first, then hits again, then breaks a few bones, and then leaves without asking any questions.
The girl looked into the eyes of his companion.
- Please keep an eye on your friend. If someone sees you like this and the information reaches your teachers, I would really not want the university to lose two such bright... and young... talents because of... their inappropriate behavior, - she finally said, squeezing the capricious student's wrists tightly and pulling him away from herself.

Did you get carried away with your fantasies?

He set a goal for the future.

Set a goal for the future.

— Weapon or armor?

— Come on, let's take both. We'll find a use for them, I'm sure.
Okay, let's go explore. I hope it won't take too long this time.

-- Come on, let's do both.

Dude, you're hurting me by not taking advantage of such a great opportunity for a pun with the blacksmith's name. Don't do that.

The students left the building with their spirits dampened and their hopes dashed.

- What interesting young people we have these days, - Nano hadn't seen him enter, but now she had to wonder how he ended up behind her back, - I almost feel sorry for them.

- They still have a long life ahead of them, sir...? - I observe another suspicious character.

Arita buys a train ticket to the westernmost settlement of the empire and, upon its arrival, sets off on her journey. There, using her own wings, she easily reached the location where the dragon resided. Tsukiko and others find themselves once again at Kitsune's peculiar "home."

"They still have a long life ahead of them, sir?...” – I examine another suspicious-looking fellow.

“Lithium Groenhoeven, Count of Nephritia, from the easternmost region of the empire,” said the man as he bowed. Nano noticed that he was dressed rather extravagantly, and elegant scabbards were visible on his belt.

“I hope this carcass isn’t the ‘mission’ Mr. Bright mentioned,” Alaria blurted out with a nervous laugh. “You see, he wasn’t generous with details. He just said we would learn more from you.”

“Ah, no… You only need to deliver this information upstairs, either to him or to the head of the regular police. As you can understand, for obvious reasons, I cannot leave the camp for too long…” An arrow appears in Gecko’s eye, piercing deep into his brain. The snake-man falls lifelessly to the ground. Snake-men appear from everywhere. “Serves the traitor right,” their leader remarked. “And you surrender without a fight if you want to live.”

Arita buys a train ticket to the westernmost settlement of the empire and, upon its arrival, sets off. There, using her own wings, she easily reached the location where the dragon resided.

Before making contact with the dragon, Arita eats a curry and a venison steak, which she bought to go in Akeso (I wrote about these purchases earlier in the thread, if you need to know). After that, she decided to visit the monster.
- Good day, sir. Am I disturbing you? - The girl didn't want to show aggression right away, so she chose to turn on her charm. She was also curious to see what her opponent was like. After all, she hadn't had the chance to meet a dragon up close before. Considering that he hadn't shown any aggression before, perhaps she could guide him to other lands. And if she was lucky, he would also be intelligent enough to do so.
Arita also decided to consider whether such an opponent was truly a match for her and to see if he had any weaknesses.

The dragon looked at Arita with a tired gaze, then indifferently turned away from her and continued to stare into the distance.

Too bad I'm not a ranged attacker. I'd be running around, shooting at the dragon, and it would be futilely hitting me with fire.

The dragon looked at Arita with a tired gaze, then indifferently turned away from her and continued to look into the distance.

Looking at the dragon's reaction, Arita realized that the dragon wasn't aggressive at all, and something was clearly bothering it. She also felt less inclined to kill it. It wasn't fear, but rather the feeling that she should try to help this creature.
The girl tactfully tried to pet her new acquaintance:
- You look a little down. Is something bothering you?
At the same time, the alivar glanced in the same direction as the dragon, hoping to understand what exactly it was looking at.

Tsukiko and the others find themselves back at Kitsune's rather unique "home."

-- So, shall we move on? I doubt anyone else wants to play with her.
If this continues, the dragon might be able to compete for the title of "Best NPC" with Castor himself.

(lol, the dice roll led to Kitsune again, okay, moving on)
