—I remember that one. I wonder how it ended up with you... —Carefully examines the weapon, makes a couple of test shots at the target. —I didn't find any flaws in the design or functions, so there's nothing to worry about. As for improvements, it depends on what you mean by the word "spoil." If it's necessary to completely preserve the original appearance of the "Cerberus" from 3995, then I wouldn't recommend modernizing it. On the other hand, the external differences won't be that significant.

—Oh, that's good, thank you! —Nira rejoiced. —As for improvements, well... I probably shouldn't customize it to suit my needs, otherwise it really would look unpresentable... But if we were to improve the chamber, the functionality wouldn't really change, and the weapon would only become better.

One of the maids came out to greet the guests at the villa (on a different day).

— My name is Davallia. You are students from NAILS who came to meet His Majesty, right?
Toad seemed too impressed by the maid's appearance to answer coherently.

—Oh, that's great, thank you! —Nira said happily. —As for the improvements, well... I probably shouldn't customize it too much, otherwise it might really look unpresentable... But, for example, if we improve the cartridge holder, the functionality won't really change, and the weapon will only get better

— For a museum exhibit, such changes may be important, but the weapon and the money are yours, so all you need to do is agree, and we'll do it quickly.

Yes, quite an extravagant uniform; there's not much else to add. It's not entirely surprising, considering everything else, but it's still a bit unexpected. Thankfully, the Academy's uniform didn't involve such experiments, or half the students would have died of embarrassment. Although, perhaps this is a unique case for this particular servant, implying that a significant portion of His Majesty's entourage consisted of his lovers. However, questioning Davallia about this would be strange and extremely impolite, not to mention that it would indirectly take away from the monarch's valuable time that he had agreed to dedicate to their training.
— That's correct, — confirmed Leila.

— I understand. In that case, I will immediately inform His Majesty about your arrival. It is quite possible that you will have to wait a little.
And indeed, the students had to wait for the monarch to appear for more than an hour and a half, and he arrived wearing pajamas with the word "Futaba" written on them in large letters.
— Are you here?

—Ah, by that time... the expansion will probably be over who knows how things will turn out, and I’ll get in trouble for poor performance anyway, more than for improving the museum’s weapons. So... please! —Nira finally decided. —Oh, and I also have a voucher here for upgrading the room; can Bell and I get room 405? —slightly embarrassed, the girl placed Gideon’s gift certificate on the table and looked away at the displays of outfits. —...Oh, and I’d also like that cloak.

[-1700 experience +trading II]
[-1800 reek +room +cloak +Cerberus cartridge]

upgrade the cloak immediately, put the shotgun in the main slot, the pistol and cartridges in the reserve, and the harpoon/candies if there’s room.

— I understand. In that case, I will immediately inform His Majesty of your arrival. It is quite likely that you will have to wait a little.

Layla expected His Majesty to appear in business attire, having finished his important tasks, but it turned out that he was doing his work in pajamas with the name of his new wife. Well, one of the obvious advantages of royal status is the ability to wear any items of clothing that you like, regardless of whether they conform to social norms.
— That is correct, Your Majesty,” said the Taimanian, having completed all the required etiquette procedures that needed to be carried out in the presence of such an important figure.

Sits down in a chair.
— What will we learn today?

It would have been difficult to speak on behalf of Toad, and he himself could have shared his own wishes with His Majesty, so Leila answered for herself.
— To be honest, Your Majesty, I hoped to learn from you the magical discipline you created, which I have heard about many times.

— Where did you hear that?

After Vari's visit, the prices of magazines increased slightly.

At that moment, the girl was thinking about reading issue number 4 of the magazine and buying Nire a subscription to issue number 5... as a birthday gift.
However, upon seeing the price, she shook her head in surprise and left the store, which had completely lost touch with reality.
She will soon send Futabe a preliminary list of books to purchase and ask her to order:

The Divine Treatise of Aeolia -- Hopeless, 500 reaks ?,?
Psychological Barriers in Sports and How to Overcome Them -- Hopeless, 2000 reaks, requires about 2.5 months to produce
Biography of Moechi Castiglione Starlit -- Know-It-All, 2500 reaks (most likely, there is no copy of the book, although this can be clarified)
General educational literature (various books, such as classical literature, etc. [gaining experience from reading]) -- ?, ?
Magazine "Castiglione Castle", issue number 4 -- ?, no more than 100 reaks
Magazine "Castiglione Castle", issue number 5 -- ?, no more than 100 reaks
Subscription to future issues of the magazine "Castiglione Castle" -- ?,?

-- A more complete list will become clear when I receive recommendations from teacher Ianira and teacher Titus... But now I see how timely my request was; all the books are now being bought up by this new trading company and rented out at twice the price. Books were already an expensive pleasure, and now students will hardly be able to afford extracurricular literature. From this point of view, replenishing the library through administrative channels is... You know, Futabe, I think this is now the only way to survive...

— Where did you hear that?

— I read it in one of the magazines,” the girl replied honestly, “I apologize if the information I received turned out to be incorrect.

— Hmm... If I tell you to do ten push-ups right now, will you do them?

- You weren't involved, - Futaba stops Levizia. - Here, I'll agree with my mother's words - setting aside the obviously dubious details of what happened at the school, it's more of a shortcoming of His Majesty that he didn't fully consider the situation and didn't properly introduce me to the family, so that such stories could be avoided. Although that would have been difficult, given my busyness and... the complexities of the initial period. Besides, there were no guarantees that my father would believe you. Moreover, what happened, happened; you can't unscramble an egg, as they say. The incident occurred, the damage was done, and responsibility must be taken, and the people must see it. The question is how to organize this. His Majesty agrees to various measures, including harsher ones, and given the deed, that would be fair. But considering that Caladium did this, in his words, in the heat of the moment, not fully aware of the situation, and guided by the "best" intentions, this at least mitigates his motivation. Furthermore, as the elder royal son, harsh measures could confuse the already troubled people and set an unpredictable precedent in the family... And finally, it would break my granddaughter's heart, - a heavy sigh, probably the thousandth in the last six months.

After sitting for a while with her eyes closed and her arms crossed, considering everything, she finally suggests:
- Calik apologizes for this incident to the entire school. Without our internal details, just in general terms - something about a certain group of criminals from Sakuran being involved, due to negligence on the part of the authorities there. Currently, the criminals have been punished, and measures to prevent similar situations in the future have been developed and adopted. After all, he is Levizia Caladiumovna's father, and excessive loss of face could negatively affect her authority within NAILS. Besides, of course not completely, but at least to some extent, this shifts the responsibility from our shoulders to others. And I note that, despite the ambiguous wording, in essence, everything said is true. And let him also thank the students in his speech for the fact that, despite the difficulties that life has presented to them, they still found the strength to overcome them, move forward, and so on - just don't make it too boring. Morale is important - we need to try to end on a positive note.

- Rodik will work off his debt at the school for three months. As a janitor, kitchen helper, stableman - it doesn't matter, the main thing is manual labor, and a position will be found. Our students organized a competition with their own hands - they made and hung decorations, helped partners organize places for stalls and stands, and improved the territory. So, with his own sweat and muscles, he must repay the debt for all the mess he made there, which we then had to clean up. Of course, the runaways who left with him that day will recognize him, but I personally don't see any problems with that, even if they know for sure that he is His Majesty's illegitimate son. Because, fortunately, he is not burdened by any problematic titles or other high-sounding things. As for whether he is directly involved in the attack on me, the students were not informed, so if anyone recognizes him and dares to ask, then it will be for his mistake of unauthorizedly taking students away, which gave me and Levizia Caladiumovna a few gray hairs in our young age.
This is the simplest and most comprehensive "punishment" that I can come up with for you now, and even then, I wouldn't call it that. And while you're both here, take a look at how things are going at our academy. Is the "cursed succubus witch" in my person oppressing and holding the students against their will, and so on.

- Canaria will be sent to do correctional work somewhere outside of Alma for a couple of years, and then exiled from the country. Again, it could be harsher, but I'm feeling generous today. After all, she didn't directly harm me, and if it weren't for my stepson, she wouldn't have fallen for that bait. The money paid to her will be - or already has been - confiscated and transferred to the school's budget. Thank you for your generous donation, - the queen nodded to Caladium and Rodik. - I hope this amount was taken from your own pockets, and not that you "sucked it out of the treasury"? Otherwise, we have a problem...

- And finally, regarding Aorich Traba - he will be provided with a safe and unimpeded return to his homeland, and not by public transport, but quickly and with protection - so that not a single hair falls from his head. In addition, send with him some seasoned, authoritative diplomat with a silver tongue. At the conference, Aorich was babbling something about returning the money paid to Calik and demanding more slaves - that won't happen. His father paid for the "rescue operation" to return his son to Levizia - he was delivered to Levizia and will be treated with all the comforts; the contract was concluded and successfully completed. In addition, his father will be informed that, while on the territory of the royal academy, his son committed a serious criminal offense, namely, the aforementioned robbery against three students who were physically and mentally impaired at the time due to a previous injury. Since, after being caught, Aorich showed remorse and returned the money, then, by the grace of the queen, as an exception and a sign of solidarity with the Traba clan, he was released from responsibility; however, these actions cast a shadow on our mutual cooperation. In general, let this diplomat defuse the situation if the son starts whining to his father, and ideally, let him also get something useful for us from Traba. He's not such a big fish to fight with the royal family. And I don't want any international scandal here. That's all, - having voiced the verdict, Futaba turns away and finishes her water, while the picture in the negotiating room is finalized.

“And a special thank you for your help with the prizes for our contest, Mrs. Bless,” Nira said, paying for their purchases. “We’re almost finished with our magazine, so I hope you like our promotional booklet.”

Once they were outside, the girl asked her friend if she was hungry. “Maybe we should stop by Claire’s? I’m buying!”
if they have updated the menu

- Oh, come on, you're probably exaggerating. It can't be that bad... Question marks mean that it needs to be ordered, but it's unknown how much it will cost? So, everything except the biography is being ordered?
