Inside Raphael's estate, Linderia and Raphael were in for a shock – the interior of the house was completely different from what it looked like from the outside. Upon entering the room where the host was waiting for them, one might think they were not in Airisufir or Lisliar, where the host came from, but in distant Myra. Furthermore, the room itself was almost empty, let alone containing anything rich or luxurious! There was a stand for a samurai sword, a low table, four cushions for sitting on the floor, a tea set, and a couple of inconspicuous cabinets in the "paper" room. On the floor, near the sword stand, the host himself, Inar Anluki, was sitting on his knees.

— It varies, depending on who we find in a given year, — Dalion admitted, — during the year of the current Empress's coronation, there were many people in Clematis, and among them, of course, were many hunters of various kinds, from experienced professionals to mere amateurs, so it was possible to organize a grand hunting tournament outside the walls of the empire without any problems. But last year...
— Dal, he doesn't need to know that, — the masked guy interjected, — otherwise we'll never recruit new members.
— No, I won't allow myself to hide the truth from people. — The man returned to the conversation with Yves. — Last year, we had many newcomers, young and old enthusiasts who wanted to dedicate themselves to the craft of hunting, but a great tragedy occurred, and none of them survived. That's why there are only three of us here now, plus a couple of acquaintances who sometimes visit the city.
— Well, that means you understand, — the second one interjected again, — with such a small number of people, you can't really organize any tournaments or courses.
The asterian girl, meanwhile, listened attentively but silently to the men's conversation, while also tidying up her daggers.

Meanwhile, the guy with the highest piety in the team is nervously smoking on the sidelines and cursing to himself: "Why do the most fanatical, crazy followers of the goddess get the best bonuses?"

- Allow me to formally introduce my... - he turned to the Sorceress for a moment and then addressed the host again. - No, no, not my spouse. My soul is still too young to put down roots, ha-ha! Linderia Orphidia - one of our trusted companions and an extremely talented specialist in her field.

After entering the church and performing all the necessary rituals related to their faith, Mirastir and Viola had the opportunity to enjoy the magnificence of the surrounding interior. The priestess, whom they had observed earlier, sat on her knees before the statue of Arteria and was praying about something.
Here, one could purchase illuminated talismans for a symbolic fee of one jewel, and also learn about the popular priestesses of Arteria today – their strength largely depended on the support of their followers, who endowed them with the power of their faith, and therefore this was undoubtedly a very important aspect. Not far from the information board were various "goods" thematically related to the priesthood.
In another part of the building was a library, where one could learn about Queen Reginleif and the current valkyries.

– Listen, friend... Viola, right? Do you have any money? Hmm. Please, give me another talisman for this noble girl, here's a jewel.

Let's go to the astrologers.

-- Ha, that's how it is. Well, then I hope you remember – Mirastir Heliomar, – the gladiator replied smugly. However, his smugness wasn't caused by buying a trinket; no, he hadn't even thought about it, as such small gestures are in the blood of the Arterians. He simply introduced himself that way, because he wasn't just some random guy; he was Mirastir Heliomar.
