There were 500 gems in the bag.

- Two more questions. What is the deadline, and how can I contact you later?
🏹🎪+⛓️♿=💕
New here? I'm Roha — want a quick tour?
There were 500 gems in the bag.

— There's no deadline, the sooner you finish, the sooner you can start on a new task. Time is money. You can find me at my villa outside the city. — Gives the address.
— Hello, I'm Dai Futo, the administrator. Can I help you with anything?
Aiko finds herself alone with the princess. — Interesting... — Naria looked at the guest from head to toe with an assessing gaze. — Would you like to have the lower part of your body like a crab instead of legs?
Aiyano nodded in response to the greeting.
- Your world is not that different from ours. The constellations are different, but the landscapes, people, and their problems are painfully familiar. As for the rest, it is up to the Kami-sama. However... - she pondered, but decided not to finish the thought and steered it in a new direction. - Some of these questions must have answers, because I didn't end up here by my own will.
- Understood. Is there anything else important, or can my partner and I get started?
- Hello. I am interested in regular training. I would like something comprehensive, to strengthen both muscles and endurance. And perhaps a personal trainer would not hurt. Is that woman a trainer? - Raphael pointed to Diadora. - She looks professional.
Trying to perform all the necessary greeting rituals before the princess and standing in a polite pose, Aiko patiently waited for the person to start a conversation with her. The question did not bother her at all, in fact, it was not as much as the magic check. It was quite expected that the princess's thoughts revolved around this topic after the introduction.
-- Not at all, Your Highness. I think it is better for everyone to have their own body, to which they are accustomed. Besides, such large legs would hardly fit under the counter, and that would mean that my hands would not be able to reach the table to work with stones, enchantments, or give the valuable client their goods.
— I understand, my legs suit me just fine, and I find it hard to consider decapods outside of a culinary context. On the other hand, this clearly demonstrates how different people are. Thiosys Sarael, the author of this show, is a great admirer of such monstrous beauty, for example. They say that he even shared a bed with various spider-women, scorpion-women, and other incredible humanoid creatures from the distant south.
The term "Wizard Kings" makes you want to spit; it's hard to come up with a more fitting anti-showcase for this "craft." Calling it reverently "priesthood" or honorably "science" is just closing your eyes to the inconvenient fact, inventing a harmless definition for it. That's what Aiyano would have thought in her old world, and she was very tempted to draw the same conclusion here, but for now, she decided to refrain from hasty judgments.
- Perhaps the celestial beings and my soul had a good reason to respond to the ritual, - she finally said. - Otherwise, some completely randomly summoned drunk with a tie on his head would completely devalue the significance of this act.
Aiko: new word loaded, "decapod."
-- I suppose creators require a special perspective on things. Every people, and even every person, has their own view of aesthetics, but if you want to bring something new and beautiful into the culture you love, then you will inevitably have to learn to appreciate the gifts and things that are unusual in your environment, but taken for granted by others.
-- Of course, it already depends on your client and your talent whether anyone will share your vision. There are many creators in all crafts, but truly valued ones are much fewer.
— No, it's obvious that her technique isn't very good; she's probably just doing it for show since she doesn't want a trainer. — The man commented quietly, so only Raphael could hear. — Okay, the monthly membership costs 80 Rem. There are no restrictions on the duration of training or the number of visits, but if you plan to train with a trainer, you will need to plan the schedule for the month in advance (each visit costs 1 OD).
— This is a useful trait to have; I need someone, or rather, a dwarf, who can keep people and perhaps even non-humans of various origins in check. Can you handle such a task?
