After spending some time in the restaurant, enjoying its masterfully prepared food and chatting about this and that, the group rested and set out once again. Akeso was located in the center of the city, so the tour continued specifically from this part of town. However, they bypassed the Imperial Palace; according to Yuki, a separate tour of it was planned for the second half of this year.
Edelweiss
— Edelweiss is the largest wholesale and retail chain in the empire; the company's stores can be found in all major cities of the country and even abroad. Edelweiss was founded by Baron Galmei Neuberthaff in 812. This family's roots stretch far back into the past, to the era of the ascension of the first king, and throughout its long history, it has managed to avoid serious conflicts with the crown or other members of the aristocracy by either maintaining neutrality in the country's internal conflicts or siding with the current favorite. The Baron repeatedly put himself forward for the position of the empire's Minister of Economy, citing his company's successes, but both of the last two emperors denied him.
Avaris Circus
— Founded in the post-war period by surviving soldiers of Orion's 10th Division and inherited by their descendants. Despite their demonic origin, the residents of the capital love Avaris's spectacular performances, but rumors persist that the circus folk are not entirely on the right side of the law.
Harmony
— A musical instrument store. There isn't much to say about it, but if you are fond of music or plan to take lessons at the music academy, visiting this place would not be superfluous.
Magnolia Shop
— A shop for Camelian goods, which has closed and reopened numerous times. Throughout the long years of acquaintance between the empire and Camelia, Magnolia remains the only resident of that country who conducts regular trade with the empire.
Having finished with the center, the curator and his charges headed to the business district.
— The peak of this part of the city's prosperity occurred during the reign of Sonata Reime. Nowadays, the capital's business is scattered throughout the city rather than gathered in one place.
Lycoris
— This organization acts as a kind of intermediary between clients and performers, handling a wide variety of work. Many turn here to make quick money, but since Lycoris takes a cut of the payment, it may not always be profitable.
Reimian Chronicles
— The empire's oldest news newspaper. During the reign of Kamia Ren, the "Reimian Chronicles" had to close due to censorship. Ironically, nowadays the director of the "Chronicles" vents his resentment on Eugian Reime, who was the one to abolish that censorship.
— Nuuuka, — Berwang took a free copy of today's issue from the stand and began reading an article that happened to catch his eye, only realizing halfway through to switch to reading aloud, — ... Eugian Reime, who opened the new academic year at the Reime Military Academy, was as pale as a sheet and could barely stand on his feet; our editorial office thanks the gods that the ceremony was not held outdoors, for it seemed that even a light breeze could knock the sovereign off his feet. Naturally, we all worry for our kindest sovereign, but we cannot help but question his health and worry about the fate of the empire. Perhaps His Highness should take a well-deserved vacation and entrust state affairs to someone else? Eh-ee! — Realizing there was "something wrong" with the text, Berwang was visibly surprised and stared questioningly at the others.
— Is this even legal? — one of the students inquired.
— They are walking on thin ice, — Yuki explained, — the emperor gave clear instructions regarding the observance of freedom of speech and self-expression for the citizens of the empire. As long as it is not slander, direct insults, or calls for extremism, one can write and speak about almost anything.
The last part of the city for today was Verilian Street.
— This part of the city was founded during the reign of Verilian Reime and since then has been and remains a place of residence for the capital's middle class. In recent years, various religious structures have also begun to appear here. Kamia Ren respected the Nihon pantheon, but his attitude toward religion in general, and Ikigaiism in particular, was purely negative. As a result, the construction of temples and other places for religious rites was forbidden. With the rise to power of Eugian Reime, however, this ban was lifted.
Ikigaya Gardens
— Formerly located on the Imperial Street, but by government decision, the old complex was converted into a city park, while the cult itself was cast out. After the ban was lifted, the followers of Ikigaya resettled in the capital once again, now on Verilian Street.
Enclesian Church
— The Enclesian Church split due to research started by Delirium A. Belring and completed by Ixian researchers. This branch of the Enclesian faith has no connection to Tanarsis.
The city tour ended at the "Cosmos" bookstore, about which there was nothing to say other than it opened in 830 and that its assortment does not satisfy the appetites of local readers.
