- It's like a carousel that breaks down every week, leaving children disabled. Today, a responsible uncle carefully and cautiously operates it, but tomorrow, he gets stabbed in the back by a relative, and the attraction passes to a new owner who runs it so recklessly that the fastenings come loose. The following week, he falls ill, goes to bed, and falls asleep forever. A woman takes his place and rebuilds the carousel to be taller and larger, so that even more children can fit on it. The design is experimental, and it turns out that it wasn't properly thought out in some areas, and materials were saved on in others – and it collapses with a loud crash. An organized group arrives, drags the owner away with a bag over her head, sweeps the debris mixed with bodies off the ground with a wave of their hand, and installs their own version of the attraction. And after them comes another, and after that, a new owner. All of this happens over and over again. The children can't get off – they are firmly strapped in with belts and chains; all they can do is cling to the railings with their sweaty hands and pray to the great powers that they will be spared this time. Aiyana paused, then added: - But there are also some advantages. For example, the nature. And the Kami shrines.
After warming up, Raphael begins his strength training. He walks over to the bench press, the one closest to Diadora, and loads it with as many plates as he can lift five times. Looking around, he pretends to be looking for someone to spot him. Then he approaches Diadora.
- Hello, miss! Could you help me a little? - said Raphael, hinting that he needs someone to spot him. - I'm new, and I wouldn't want to get injured on my first day. And you, as I can see, are an experienced athlete, you know a thing or two about training.
The girl made a modest curtsy to the departing person, and then examined the letter.

- This is a carousel that breaks down weekly, leaving children disabled. Today, a responsible uncle carefully and cautiously sets it in motion; tomorrow, he gets a knife in the back from his relative, and the attraction passes to a new owner, who operates it in such a way that the fastenings fly off. The following week, he feels unwell, goes to bed, and falls asleep forever. A woman takes his place, rebuilding the carousel to be taller and larger, so that even more children can fit on it. The design is experimental, and it turns out that it is not well thought out in some places, and in others, they saved on materials - and it collapses with a crash. An organized group arrives, drags the owner away with a bag over his head, sweeps the debris mixed with bodies off the ground with a wave of his hand, and puts up his version of the attraction. And after that - another, and after that - a new owner. All this happens again and again. The children cannot get off it - they are firmly fastened with belts and chains; all that remains for them is to cling to the railings with their sweaty palms and pray to the great powers that they will be spared this time. Ayano was silent for a moment, then added: - But there are also some advantages. For example, nature. And the shrines of Kami.
— Well, that is, there is no difference from our world, only the packaging is a little different. Considering that you look like me, with a correction for racial differences, this should have been expected. My sister thinks that aliens should look something like that. Shows a drawing: — Well, okay, then maybe you have some questions for me?

Wow, what a versatile personality!
Having warmed up, Raphael begins his strength training. He goes to the bench press, the one closest to Diadora, and puts on so many weights that he can lift five times. Looking around, he pretends to be looking for someone to spot him. After that, he approaches Diadora.
- Hello, miss! Could you help me a little? - said Raphael, hinting that he needs to be spotted. - I'm a newbie, I wouldn't want to get injured on my first day. And you, as I see, are an experienced athlete, you know a thing or two about training.
— Hello, Mr. Newbie. I wouldn't want to waste my time... But alright, I'll help, otherwise it won't be good if the bar or a weight falls on your head and splashes everyone around with blood.
It was difficult to understand what emotions she was actually experiencing at the moment by the stone face of the girl.
- What was I summoned for? Surely not for amusement? If this is a royal battle for the right to possess a cursed artifact of incredible power, or something along those lines, then my expertise lies elsewhere.
— Hello, newbie. I wouldn't want to waste my time... But alright, I'll help you, otherwise it wouldn't be good if a griffin or a pancake fell on your head and splattered blood everywhere.
It was difficult to understand what emotions she was actually feeling at the moment, looking at the stone face of the girl.
- Ah-ha-ha! Very funny. I hope that doesn't happen.
After completing the exercises with Diadora, Raphael sighed heavily.
- Whew, that was tough. I hope the results in a couple of months won't disappoint me. And how long have you been training?
Any merchant dreams of establishing their trading house under a beautiful sign or inventing a product that will be in demand. In reality, however, the abilities of an organizer and administrator can be applied in many areas, whether it be construction or management, but what about being the princess's personal soldiers? Or, judging by the modest scale, something like a secret police force? For this, the gnome slightly regretted that she had never studied military tactics and strategy, apart from personal self-defense. Despite the unexpectedly assigned task, Ayko was not going to give up on her firebird tail, sincerely believing that by putting in enough effort and training, she could retrain in the shortest possible time. Moreover, here, in the capital, there were all the opportunities for this. She just needed to carefully organize her time and find specialists who could help her. In queue: - go to the specified address and inspect the provided premises - visit places where she can post an advertisement or find a potential employee with a military background, a secretary, and a maid (preferably someone who can handle multiple tasks to save space in the squad). Also, she will probably need to resolve the registration issue. Thus, the points on the city map are 29 - 30 - 31 - 37 - 38 - 39? - then go to the residential area 69 and check 23 and 24.
- Why was I summoned? Surely not for amusement? If this is a royal battle for the right to possess a cursed artifact of incredible power, or something of that nature, then my expertise lies in a different realm.
Naria pondered. - Some in our country wonder: why does the emperor's eldest daughter still not have a husband? Of course, the Lunarian blood that flows in her veins somewhat mitigates the situation, but the relentless winds of time can only delay this, not stop it, and the merciless ticking of the biological clock continues... However, the answer to this question is obvious; it's just that all the gossips are either afraid or simply don't want to look at it. They need to look at the powerful people of this world, the men in power and in big business – what remains if you take away their social status and accumulated wealth? A thin reed, unable to withstand even a moment in the face of life's hurricane. At the same time, ordinary workers, the cogs in our economy, are no better – civilization has degraded them too much, they are too entrenched in their habits and beliefs, and lack ambition and a sense of grandeur. Therefore, perhaps I simply wanted to summon a worthy man from another world, since there are none in ours? Do you happen to have a surprise under your clothes?

- Ah-ha-ha! Very funny. I hope that doesn't happen.
After completing the exercises with the help of Diadora, Raphael exhaled heavily.
- Whew, that was tough. I hope the results in a couple of months won't disappoint me. And have you been doing this for a long time?
- Probably for more than a year, but with varying frequency. Not everyone can maintain an excellent figure without putting in any effort. There was a hint of bitterness in Diadora's voice, for some reason.
Added 3 minutes ago Aiko is heading to the specified address.
- The gods have been kind, - the miko said calmly, unable to tell if the princess was being sarcastic or not, and pondering the fact that the option of a drunken man in a tie was taking on new meanings.
- It's been over a year, I think, but with varying frequency. Not everyone can maintain a great figure without putting in any effort. There was a hint of bitterness in Diadora's voice, for some reason.
- I know, right. But what can you do, that's just how our world is. By the way, my name is Raphael, and what's yours?
In essence, it wasn't a house, but a truly luxurious estate; it was hard to imagine that it would become the residence for a "multi-purpose combat squad." Nevertheless, such conditions will definitely be a plus when recruiting members of the new organization. The girl involuntarily looked around and assessed the surroundings. How many more buildings in this area have an unexpected purpose for passersby? She wondered if any of them housed their potential competitors. The princess didn't give the impression of someone who could mine all the minerals in a single mine, and there were enough imperial heirs in the world; who knows what intrigues they might be plotting? The Mole Queen opened the door with a key and walked around her new "quarters," not only appreciating the beauty of the decor but also considering which room would be used for what in the future. After that, she closed everything up and headed to point 29.
— Too bad. Although, maybe not, a man with that face and figure would look too unsightly, in my opinion. — Naria places a hundred rems on the table. — The most effective way to get acquainted with a new world is to take a walk around the city and communicate with its inhabitants, which is exactly what you need to do now. There isn't that much money here, but that's for the best, because wealth obtained "just like that" can distort one's perception of the world.

- I know, right. But what can you do, that's just the way our world is. By the way, my name is Raphael, and what's yours?
— Diadora. You know, Raphael, you're probably the first reasonable person in this training hall that I've talked to. I hope this impression doesn't turn out to be false.
After that, she closed everything up and headed to point 29.
In the adventurers' guild, Aiko encounters her recent "acquaintance," the girl she sat next to on the airship. The girl was filling out some papers at the counter where a representative of the organization was working.
