Taking a notebook out of her bag, Nira tore out a blank sheet and began to briefly jot down the main points of the discussion.
—Mmm, I understand your concerns, Bell. —she nodded, making another note. —I think I'll discuss the security issue with the management if necessary: after all, it's a royal academy event. As for the rest... —the girl wanted to finish the sentence with a quote from an Avarian priestess in a rabbit costume from her textbook: "...views and thoughts are immaterial things, which cannot be said about money," but she decided to leave it unfinished. —And you came up with a great idea with the prizes; I think "Bless Technologies" has absolute popularity among students in the sense that their technology will appeal to almost everyone. 😇 But don't worry, even if it doesn't work out for us, it won't be a problem: I'll talk to Miss Starlight about the budget.
For Nira herself, the second option would be more attractive than independently sponsoring the competition through "connections," but ultimately, there would be no specific losses for her either way.
—...Great, then I'll leave the advertising to you, Sher, and the applications to Cass. 😘 As for the financial matters, I'll take care of them. —she crossed out the last items from the list. —But in order to decide on the cost of tickets and magazines, I first need to know the potential number of participants in the competition and, ideally, get an idea of the prizes. Therefore, I propose the following plan: first, we collect applications for the competition and sort out the awards; then I will resolve the financial issues with the management and, in parallel, we will start an advertising campaign in the city; and then we will proceed to the organization and conduct of the competition itself.
— No! — Shera and Cassia answer in unison.
On this note, Bella goes to the city to find out about the prizes, and Cassia goes to look for fellow students.
