— Of course, sister, — Galmey smiled warmly and gave a slight bow, — my brother Imir and I were just discussing the correctness of the Ikigai path and how great it would be if more people followed it.

Xenomia (wearing a nicer dress for the event, but still with her notebook) finds Eli at the festival.
-- See, I guessed right about the shooting range! Have you changed your mind?
Arriving at the event venue, the girls learn that participants had to make 15 shots at a training target placed at a great distance. Weapon: rifle.
-Mmmmmm... - Parfinora could barely hide her annoyance - and have you already told your brother Imir about what they do to mages in Alaite?
— Of course, — Galmey admitted sincerely, — that’s exactly why I tried to convince my brother, Iмир, to abandon his endeavors on this path and instead embrace harmony.

— Come on, even if there’s probably nothing interesting there.
When they arrived at the event location, the girls learned that participants had to make 15 shots at a training target placed at a great distance. Weapon: rifle.
— Eli, do you like cats? — asked Miya in between shots. — Because you’re so cute, like a cat...
-What do you think about this, Iмир? - asked Parphinora, but now without irritation and with some affection.
-- Just what I need, I tried to learn the skill from the last lesson.
-- Eli, do you like cats? - asked Miya, in between shots. - Because you are so cute, like a cat...
— I want to try visiting the Gardens of Ikigai and decide for myself if it's right for me, — the young man confessed, — maybe this is exactly what I need...

Here you can take a picture with friends you made at the Academy.
If Nebok were playing, he would just push this guy off the roof, and that would be it.
— Pleased to meet you, Sister Parphinora,” the young man replied just as sincerely, “I am still far from achieving absolute harmony with the world, but visiting the Gardens of Ikigai has allowed me to begin my journey on this path and has given me peace and tranquility during times when my soul was troubled and my heart was filled with fear. I desire nothing more than to share this happiness with those around me.

Cats? They're cute, but not as cute as weapons.
-- By the way, I thought about what you said last time. And I found something that I really like more than anything. I have to admit, it's not weapons, and it's not even medicine... Look, I found it!—Miya pointed. —This is what I like. I've had a heavy burden on me for a long time, to achieve certain things and help those I love, I have to become one of the best. With my almost complete lack of talent, it seems incredibly difficult, almost impossible. I sometimes think it would be nice to have at least a little something special, something to hold onto, to get ahead. Just... If I ever go home and say that I just attended military academy, that will be... I won't be able to protect my brother. And I won't be able to help anyone. So I'm happy and I enjoy it when I make progress in something important. I like achieving the goals I set for myself. I like to think that I will be useful. And now, besides my brother, I also have a friend... You're strong, Eli, but I promise you I'll learn so much that I'll be able to help you too, like that.

-- Yeah, haha, you really love what you do. But -- it's not a question of comparison, is it? There are good things in the world, and there are other good things. It's better when they're together, rather than just one thing, right?

You talk too much and you think too much,” replied Eli directly, though with her usual naiveté and without any malice in her voice, “the more you think, the more problems you have. Do more of what you enjoy, and you’ll have fewer problems.
-- And tell me, do you know if we’re allowed to keep pets at the Academy?
