After opening one of the doors, Mira meets the gaze of three Nyx who were conversing behind it.

- Wahahaha! - Wiping a tear from under her eye, one of them suddenly noticed Mira, and the other two followed, but said nothing.

- Hi! Ooo!.. - she couldn't help but let out an excited sigh upon seeing the quivering Nysian ears. - Humu-humu... - she nodded seriously with admiration and a touch of envy. - What a beautiful Temple...

“Hmm, not bad.” agreed the left one. “Where else can you hide from the rain, and they feed you here for free.” added the right one. “…” The central one remained silent. “What about you? Who are you, and what are you famous for?” asked the left and right ones in unison.

- I'm Mira! 😊 - Mira explained, smiling and waving her hand for what felt like the hundredth time today. - I was just walking around the Temple, looking at everything. What about you?
Smiling at the central nymph, she explained:
- I didn't know anyone was here, I didn't want to bother you. You have very cute ears; I've never seen anything like them! What's your name?

— Rufa! — replied the right one. — Lika! — replied the left one. — Luppa... — replied the central one. — So, you love the world, I guess? — Rufa asked thoughtfully. — No, probably just peaceful. — Lika suggested. — And you have cute ears, by the way. — Rufa said again. — Can I touch them?

- Peace and love – that’s the meaning my creators put into me! So you’re right about everything! - Mira laughed. - Nice to meet you, Rufa, Lika, and Luppa!

— And you have cute ears too, by the way. — Rufa spoke again. — Can I touch them?

- You can, and can I touch yours?

Rufa approached Mira, started touching her ears, and then licked one of them. "I feel like you're not a bad person, but I still won't let you touch my ears," the wolf said proudly, placing her hands on her hips and raising her chin. "Next time, be more careful! Otherwise, you might offer someone money or something else, and in return, you won't get anything."

The girl flinched and squeaked from the tickling.
- But I didn't offer it to just anyone, I offered it to you... - pressing her palm to her cheek, she sighed and tilted her head to the side. - Girls, do you live here or are you just passing through? I'm still quite new here, so I don't know what will happen yet. I'm just wandering around for now.

— It’s that simple, they just stopped us. The northerners came home and drove us out. — Rufa said, dejectedly lowering her head. — I don’t even know what we did to them... — For example, we robbed their nobleman, — Luppa finally joined the conversation, — we’re from Arcan, from the World. Recently, the northerners have been imposing their order there, and these two always have something up their sleeves. — Better to have a sharp mind than a blunt weapon, hehe. — Lyka’s laugh sounded more like a grunt than anything that could be associated with a person or a wolf. — What do you think, Mira, what’s better?

- Well, that's a predicament... But maybe it's for the best – you should be able to breathe easier here. And we met, after all," the "northerner" tried to console the unfortunate girls, gesturing frantically.

— Better a knitting needle than a meat cleaver, hehe. — Lika's laugh sounded more like a grunt than anything that could be associated with a person or a wolf. — What do you think, Mira, what's better?

- If it's fate that led you, having traveled thousands of versts through fire, water, and all sorts of hardships... - Mira said romantically. - Then it doesn't matter anymore – whether it's a knitting needle or a cleaver, or even the devil himself... She let out a coy squeak and pretended to be embarrassed, covering her cheeks with her hands, like a little girl – partly for fun, but partly because her background and upbringing encouraged it.

After the briefing, Jürgen finally decided to grab a bite. The path led past stained-glass windows, and he stopped near one of them. It depicted Invidia, who reminded him of his loss. The visual resemblance was far from perfect, and the similarity was more in the image and hair color, but that was enough to trigger a wave of memories.

- Well, it's certainly a predicament... But maybe it's for the best – you should be able to breathe easier here. And we met, after all," the "northerner" tried to comfort the girls, gesturing desperately. "If this is your fate, which led you through thousands of versts through fire, water, and all sorts of hardships..." Mira said romantically. "Then it doesn't matter – whether it's a needle or a stick, or even the devil himself..."
She let out a coy squeak and pretended to blush, covering her cheeks with her hands, like a little girl – partly for fun, but partly because her upbringing encouraged such behavior.

Rufa and Lika energetically repeated Mira's gesture, which made Luppa sigh heavily, and a knock came from the wall of the room where Mukus was, reminding everyone that they were in the Temple.

Jurgen unlocks potential - jealousy: -15% to the cost of skills known to companions.
To learn this skill, you need:
- 500 experience points.
- Envy towards companions.

- A-ha-ha... hmm... - Mira trailed off. - Okay, I should probably go; we still have a bag to carry. But I'll definitely come back to visit when we're done!
She narrowed her eyes at Rufina's ears, vowing to catch her off guard one day so that she would be defenseless against her attack.
Are there any more available rooms in the cells, or is this it?

Tao Kug unlocks a new potential - rivalry: a character and their rival study their chosen weapon types 5% more efficiently; +5% if they are of different convictions (Cult of Seven); +5% if they are of the same origin; +5% if they chose the same weapon type.
To learn this skill, the following is required:
- 500 experience units.
- Find a rival - a character with opposite views on life/incompatible personalities, etc. (the main thing is that there must be a conflict).

When you killed your potential rival even before the exp started...
(Actually, rivaling with Frag seems pretty decent)

It's kind of strange for a warrior and a merchant to be rivals. But generally, something could be thought up, provided, of course, that Heroist doesn't kill me later...

— I assume that Kiera did not go into the details of our situation, and therefore, so that you do not get the impression that our goal is limited to the destruction of the enemy, I want to show you how the future of Aeolia looks from the perspective of all members of the Trivium of Kimika according to their secret appeals to the queen. Of course, this is only a brief summary of the original documents, but I will be curious to hear your views on this matter.

Local initiatives to counter the aggression of foreign states didn't have to be searched for long — some time after arriving in Arven, Ashur snatched a leaflet, picked up from who knows where, from Ramon's grasping claws. Coming to the meeting, he met the Lilians, Mucus and Kiera, who were recruiting for the ranks of a secret patriotic organization. After providing them with recommendations from the trade guild regarding his person, he received approval to join their ranks.

— As a trade specialist, I will consider these appeals from the point of view of how their acceptance would affect the economic development of Aeolia. With Refiteia's proposal, it is simple — control over the region's economy passes entirely under its jurisdiction. Naturally, giving everything away like this is simply beyond comprehension. Refiteia is a large state and is unlikely to be concerned with sufficient material supply for a border duchy, which is how it wishes to see Aeolia, considering that a great deal of resources must be invested for restoration. Consequently, the restoration of the region's material well-being will take a very long time, and, considering also that the potential for international trade will be significantly limited, a prolonged crisis awaits Aeolia in the event of the acceptance of Refiteia's proposal.

— Ditlind's call implies economic aid to free the country from foreign influence, but there is no mention of compensation for war damage. It is not hard to guess what this means in practice — the mentioned aid will be used to achieve Ditlind's goals in the region instead of providing real help to its residents. In fact, Ditlind is offering help not to Aeolia, but to himself. In the event of a positive response to Ditlind's call, progress in establishing economic contacts with neighbors will be negated; consequently, after liberation, Aeolia will be left to its own devices in terms of post-war recovery, which will ultimately lead to an even more severe crisis than in the case of agreeing to Refiteia's proposal.

— The treaty of friendship and mutual assistance offered by the Federation is aimed at long-term cooperation; accordingly, the restoration of Aeolia's well-being is in its interests. From an economic point of view, this is the most reasonable and profitable proposal, not condemning it to concessions and losses as in the case with the others, allowing Aeolia to win time to determine its share of the world market, as well as to become an independent force on the political arena. What is also important is the lack of undue interference in the internal structure and orders of the country. However, I believe that positive words about the treaty with the Federation from me are already expected, so I will try to be as impartial as possible and draw attention to likely negative economic consequences. The treaty implies long-term cooperation with the Federation, which means that for an equally long time, concluding trade agreements with countries unfriendly to the Federation will be complicated. Since the proposed material aid is quite extensive, if for some reason the treaty is broken, the Federation may decide to demand the return of its assets from Aeolia — thus, as a result, Aeolia could end up in a serious debt pit, and its well-being will depend on the mercy of the Federation even after the treaty expires. However, it is encouraging that, unlike the consequences of other proposals, the negative scenario here is purely hypothetical, and the consequences are not as destructive.

— To summarize: the proposals range from absolutely unacceptable to slightly suspicious. For now, I would recommend gathering more information about the goals of Aeolia's opponents in order to conduct a more accurate analysis in the future.
