After saying goodbye to Eizen and replenishing his supply of first-aid kits before leaving the clinic, Ryohei, remembering what his mentor said about the latest newspaper, decides to visit "Eugene's Chronicles."
— Ryohei, — Philip greeted him, — did you come to buy a newspaper? Listen... Don't give it to Gulweig, okay? Just in case, it was printed in Tamphan, I had nothing to do with it...
Erika and Ilva travel north to Baldr, where they stop at Gulveig's house (while she is not at home). — May I ask who lives here?
—Of course. Our sister Gulveig lives here, well, in a way, she's also an adopted sister... She's a very kind and helpful person, always ready to help those in need. Oh, and if I'm not mistaken, another girl, Buvardia, is currently living with her temporarily; she's new to us and doesn't have her own place yet.
- Well, I wasn't really looking, I was just taking a walk with my dog and thinking about what to name him, and I decided to chat. How are you doing?
— I'm doing well, but... my sister, Gulveig, has been a bit sad lately, and her birthday is coming up soon... How can I help her?

—Of course. Our sister, Gulveig, lives here, well, in a way, she's also an adopted sister... She's a very kind and responsive person, always ready to help those in need. Oh, and if I'm not mistaken, another girl, Buvardia, is currently living with her temporarily; she's just new to us and doesn't have her own place yet.
— I see. — Erika makes some notes in her journal and on a small, foldable map of the city. It was clear that she had already marked most of the other locations in Baldur. — And how did Miss Buvardia end up in your city, and what is her relationship with the baron's wards?
— Rohei, — Philip greeted, — did you come to buy a newspaper? Listen... Don't give it to Gulveig, okay? This is if something was printed in Tamfana, I have nothing to do with it...
—You know, Ren, I agree with Gungnir's decisions, but my heart aches every time you set out. Tell me, are you sure you don't want to give up on these assignments? And Ilva?...
Renold sighed heavily and rubbed his forehead, which had suddenly started to ache. —I understand you perfectly; my sister and I have been discussing this for the past week. But... we can't just abandon our brothers and sisters, and besides, I won't lie, we've seen and learned more in the last few months than we have in several years. As for Ilva, she doesn't want to stay because she doesn't want to worry about me and the others all the time. Well, I guess you and her have very similar feelings about it. —the young man paused for a moment, unable to find other words. —But I think that as long as we travel together, take care of each other, and avoid unnecessary risks, we can handle the assignments from our... I mean, the Baron. In the end, even though these tasks are difficult, their complexity is comparable to the skills of our squad, which will only grow with each passing time.

—I see. — Erika makes some notes in her journal and on a small, folding map of the city. It was clear that she had already marked most of the other locations in Baldur. —And how did Miss Bouvard end up in your city, and what is her relationship with the Baron's wards?
—We rescued her from bandits, or the mafia, I'm not sure, in Tamfana. —Ilva answered honestly. —After that, she decided to move in with us, in Baldur. And as for her relationship... well, I think it's good; she's become friends with me and many others...
— I'm doing well, but... My little sister Gulveig has been a bit sad lately, and her birthday is coming up soon... How can I help her?
- She just needs a good man. - She's just missing her teacher, so there's nothing specific you can do to help, and only time will fix it. But maybe she'll be a little distracted today during the lecture, if she comes, of course, - Anselm suggested, spreading his hands. - And for her birthday, I think you could bake a cake or something delicious, she loves that.

Well, you have the highest strength stat, so...
he just became that way, and no one has seen it except the Homerians.
— No problem... Just decide *before the end of the phase*, if you would. And the statue... I'll think about it.
-- Alright...
Gullveig nodded thoughtfully and went to look for the children. All her thoughts were now about how to tell them what had happened without causing too much shock.
"Ren..." Renold's words brought a warm smile to the old woman's face. "To us, you are all like our own children, so please, don't hesitate and talk to us however you like." After saying this, she hugged the young man tightly. "Can I ask you to convey my concerns to the others? I'm afraid that some of you may not fully understand the importance of this decision, or perhaps they are afraid that they won't be understood. I would do it myself, but I don't think my words would carry the same weight as those of a peer."

"In Tamfane, we rescued her from bandits, or maybe the mafia, I'm not sure. After that, she decided to move in with us in Baldur. And as for the relationship... well, I think it's good. She's become friends with me and many others..."
"And what exactly were you doing in Tamfane?" Erika looks out the window and sees Bouvardia cleaning. She thinks to herself that the girl could use a maid's uniform. "That is, how exactly did you cross these bandits?" The captain, sensing the possible confusion of her interlocutor, turns away from her work and looks directly at Ilva. "Don't get me wrong. The truth is, I am authorized to search each of these houses, as well as interrogate their residents, but I would not like to do that, so I hope that your information will be enough for me to compile a report.
“Yes, I just wanted to show respect, and…”—Renold couldn’t find anything to say and stared blankly at the floor, feeling some conflicting, too deep emotions. “Thank you… You have become like our own parents to us, and well, I will never forget that.” The young man awkwardly smoothed his hair, as if it urgently needed styling. “I promise to find and talk to the others; they are probably thinking about the same thing. But honestly, I can’t promise that their answer will be very different from ours and my sister’s.”
- I'll try, - Veserod sighed. - I'll do my best. By the way, I've dusted off my fishing skills. I've never fished anywhere but mountain streams. So I'll need some equipment at the very least. Is there anything special I should know?
— The strongest person in Baldur is Uncle Gungnir — he rightfully bears the title of the strongest warrior of Serberia, being both a master of many combat styles and a talented commander. Next in strength, perhaps, are Matthias Kessler, who acts as the baron's right hand, and Gregor Filanemo. The former is a master of knives, crossbows, and other weapons popular among the less fortunate classes of Elheim. The latter is an unparalleled archer, practicing the Illian style of archery. If it weren't for his age and bad habits, Hans, one of Baldur's guards, could have competed with these monsters, but even now he is quite strong. Among the baron's pupils, one should primarily fear Ayr von Walravn and Renold. The former is as fast as lightning and extremely agile, often managing to deprive her opponents of life before they even realize what is happening. She is a master of the saber. Some time after visiting the mountains, and a certain "master of the school of eight elements," she began practicing some strange fighting style related to the fire element. She took second place in the Tamfana military tournament. During the battle with Count Tamfana, Leo Julius Jung, she defeated him in a matter of moments. Renold cannot boast of Ayr's agility, but he wields a rapier no worse than she does with a saber, and he took first place in the Tamfana tournament. Few opponents will survive a single strike of his weapon. He should not be underestimated. Alessia may also pose a certain danger — I saw her use magic, capable of incinerating an entire house with a single use.
Sorry, Revan said that the question about the pupils also seemed relevant. At least Emily, Viktor, and Buvu, among the mentors, were kept secret, as Kal knows little about their strength.
— And what exactly were you doing in Tamfana? — Erika glances out the window of the house and sees Bouvardia busy cleaning. She notes to herself that the girl could use a maid's uniform. — That is, how exactly did you cross paths with these bandits? — The captain, suspecting possible confusion from her interlocutor, breaks away from her work and looks Ilva прямо in the eyes. — Don't get me wrong. The truth is, I am authorized to search each of these houses, as well as to interrogate their inhabitants, but I would not like to do this, so I hope that your information will be enough for me to compile a report.
—A search? Interrogation? — Ilva was even more confused. — But I don't understand why... — The girl paused for a moment and tried to compose herself. — Ahem, okay. — After clearing her throat and covering her mouth with her hand, she finally said. — This is not really a secret, and I will try to tell you everything I know. We arrived in Tamfana to inquire with the local ruler about possible information regarding the origin of one of the baron's adopted daughters, Yua. Perhaps you are already familiar with her. — the girl added. — Unfortunately, we didn't find out anything in the end, but that's probably not that important... In general, in exchange for information, the Tamfanian count asked for our assistance in searching for and destroying a local criminal organization; I don't remember the name, but you may have read about it in the newspapers. All the details of the operation, I believe, are described in them, especially since I spent most of the time at the entrance to their lair in the lake, but in the end, we rescued Bouvardia and two other captives from captivity.
The Fallen Vergil "Vergil of Stinhelheim" is a name known to many residents of the kingdom, associated with valor, kindness, diligence, patience, modesty, and other positive traits; however, as time has shown, he was unable to withstand the fate prepared for him by his goddess and, during his time in Baldur, away from glory and no longer the center of attention, he sank to the lowest depths. In one of our previous issues, we covered the planned wedding of Vergil and Teia Bors, and we apologize to our readers for unintentionally misinforming them. As it turned out, the scoundrel coerced the unfortunate girl into all sorts of indecencies through blackmail, and then forced her to marry him and give up the hand of her beloved, Klefbert. Fortunately, his depraved nature was exposed on the wedding day when this indecent man could not restrain his savage desires and entered into a carnal union with his student from Baldur right in the middle of the banquet hall in front of numerous guests. It is likely that no such immoral person has ever set foot on Visterian soil, but even in this situation, King Gaheris Marionhart showed an act of mercy and allowed the villain to keep his head on his shoulders, banishing him from his lands.
However, Teia Bors's suffering did not end there. A few days after the marriage union with Klefbert Marionhart, the girl attempted to commit suicide due to the mental and physical trauma inflicted by the Fallen Vergil. And a few days later, she was kidnapped directly from the capital's palace. According to witnesses, the kidnapper was very tall and had blue eyes and snow-white hair. If you know anything about him, be sure to report it to the local authorities: he is now an international criminal and poses a threat to the safety of residents throughout Vistaria, not just Marion. Due to the stress he experienced, Theodahad Bors, one of the captains of the Order of Arteria, had to resign and focus on restoring his mental health.
A New Page in the History of Elheim A few days ago, the Governor-General of Elheim, Eugène von Breckenndorf, addressed the residents of his province, highlighting several important events: - The last descendant of the Elheim bandit dynasty, Isabella, was eliminated by the efforts of brave guests of the city, whose names the governor did not disclose for their own safety. Currently, soldiers of the provincial army are engaged in clearing the slums of the bandits who have lost their leader. - Agents of Rohental, August Fürstner and five of his subordinates, who were hiding in the city's sewers, were executed in the city square by hanging. Their leader, Gebhard Bram, was placed under indefinite detention, while his pet basilisk was handed over to one of the soldiers who carried out the arrest. - Due to the identified violations, the Elheim fighting club was closed, and many of its organizers and spectators who participated in the gambling were arrested. - In addition, the Governor-General made a firm promise, stating that in the near future, Elheim will become a jewel of Serberia. - Also, certain individuals named Diablo and Karl Esser were put on the wanted list. If you know anything about them, be sure to report it to the relevant authorities.
