Just so you know, I went there with someone. Both of my heroes, I mean.

11. Inspector (Workers' Guild of the Empire)
3 resources per hour.

I simply consider a slave to be part of Beata's inventory.

Just so you know, I went there with someone.
- So, did you remember the code phrase?
- I remembered it. Why are you asking?
- Most likely, it's just a discount from the establishment, and if I say it, I'll look stupid. Let you say it.
- What if it's some kind of trap or a code to capture and tie us up?
- Then you'll have a chance to fight back, and I'll provide fire support. And if they capture me, you can use your sword to poke me in the right place. Just like...
- Enough, I got it from last time! - Guion blushed, - okay.

The couple goes inside.

Inside, they are greeted by Anna Roa, a waitress in a unique outfit. Besides her, one could also catch a glimpse of Raphael and Nora chatting in the corner.

Anna seats the couple at one of the tables and shows them the same menu.

“Maybe we should order the house specialty?” Beata glanced at Gion.
“I don’t like that dish. It reminds me of that monster… You know…”
“How could I forget,” the girl giggled. “Okay, let’s not experiment.”
Under the table, Beata subtly stepped on Gion’s foot.
“Ah, yes…” the young man added, realizing he was about to look like a complete idiot. “You see, the administrator at the Hearth gave us a tip. He told us to say a secret code here…”
Beata looks expectantly at her companion, her lips spreading into a cunning smile.
“Pam-param and three X’s,” Gion said resignedly.
Beata stifled a laugh.
“Please, let this not be an ambush,” Gion muttered quietly under his breath.

— About me? Well, I'm rather boring, I don't have much to tell. I even only took 839th place in the last city beauty contest, and that's considering that not every girl even signs up for it. And about the city... Well, for example, did you know that the Azure Palace is the official residence of the imperial family? It's also where members of the Senate and Council gather to discuss current issues and make important decisions. And also, and also... The ministries of culture, education, technology, economy, and food are located there.

The waitress's face was expressionless, just like that of a drowned woman. — I'm afraid you misunderstood something. "Pam-param" is a restaurant in the business district, and "three X's" was one of the popular brothels in the past, which had to change its business after the emperor's ban on prostitution. Now it's a restaurant where waitresses provide clients with additional "services," — Anna pondered, — for example, sitting on their laps.

The sky has already shed all its masks and even stopped trying to pretend...

- These contests are a joke! Everything is bought and paid for. Whoever has the most money to invest in the organization and bribe the jury members wins. Or their daughter. I've heard about the palace, especially about the Ministry of Culture. I don't know what the ministers do there or why they're even needed. True culture is found on the stages of small, local theaters, not in the offices of bureaucrats. So, true beauty is in ordinary guardians, not in the daughters of the wealthy 😏

It's like being on a date with a barmaid. I mean, I'm reading about a date with a barmaid...
