But, by the way, take a look at this portrait.

— It’s a pleasure to meet you, Alaria Doran,” the Tanar’si woman introduced herself first, “thank you for the detailed response. I assume that at this stage, I am expected to familiarize myself with the local culture, awaiting either an audience with Her Luminescence or further instructions? If so, do you, Mr. Clean, have any recommendations in this regard? And I think it would also be helpful for me to learn more about local customs and rules of conduct. Especially if I am to meet Her Highness in the future. I wouldn’t want to make a bad impression and show myself to be a poor guest.

- I think our readers will appreciate this answer, - Ayano nodded, taking notes. - As for me, my clothes and accessories have both ceremonial and practical significance, serving as symbols of my Temple and tools for communicating with the Kami. However, their style is also familiar and pleasing to my eye, and they feel like an extension of my body. As for individual items, if we're going to talk about it, there's nothing more practical and convenient than an omamori, - she demonstrated the amulet. - Although, some of my comrades have entire halls filled with all sorts of hannya. Although I think it's a bit extravagant, there's something appealing about it.

- Yes, and if we're talking about the spiritual... Nadia-san suggested that we clarify your point of view on this issue for the readers. We've already discussed this; if you don't mind, we can add this point to the interview, perhaps in a summarized and rephrased form? Or should we leave it as is?
- Interesting and worthy image, - the miko commented on the photograph. - Can we assume that the Hime Denka is interested in the cultures of other regions of the empire or, perhaps, individual countries? ...Perhaps we could also ask if any particular regions are of greater interest, but I'm afraid that some less discerning readers might not take it well, so...

Kasus continues, shifting his gaze from the organizer to Ayko, then to Kline.
—Let's say we placed someone in a regional leadership position or another important role, regardless of the method—democratic, authoritarian, or any other. At first glance, they seem wonderful, but as time passes, it turns out they've stolen or, due to their incompetence, squandered the money earned by the public through hard work and sacrifice. What happens then? Forget about the scoundrel—they fled abroad, fell ill, or were hanged; it doesn't matter. Who will reimburse the public for the money? And if you have not just one such scoundrel in your government, but every other or even the first one, what then? Then they will all support each other, and if you even think about saying something about it, the guard will immediately suppress you—the very guard that you pay for out of your own pocket.

—Pleased to meet you, Alaria. You have indeed understood everything correctly. —After meeting with the uncouth thug with a skull in a bag, Klin was even a little glad that it was much easier to establish a dialogue with the new guest of Her Highness. —I will immediately report to Her Luminary about you. As for customs and traditions, there is no need to worry. From what I have managed to understand about the summoned, our worlds are very similar in terms of cultural, moral, and even linguistic characteristics. This is, frankly, a little strange, but it will be extremely difficult for an ordinary traveler like you to distinguish yourself from the local residents. I think Her Highness understands this perfectly. If you are interested in exploring the city, I can recommend that you familiarize yourself with this excellent guidebook. —Klin clapped his hands, then whispered something to one of his familiar lackeys, and then a map of Margel was brought to Alaria. —And remember, Miss Alaria, as our guest, you can also count on lunch and lodging in the residence, by the great kindness of Her Highness.

I will be coming back every week for a new ring and then melting them down 😎


Leaving the magic bureau, Merel looked at the ring again with a dissatisfied expression. It seemed to him that it was slightly rubbing his finger, but most likely it was a psychological moment related to the external restrictions that bothered the astrologer, who was used to complete freedom in his actions. The only thing that pleased him was that it was not forever. 🤞
Once outside, the young scientist looked around. He found it difficult to remember why he had come here, because his memory was like fragments of a canvas that seemed impossible to sew back together. In this case, Merel could only rely on his instincts and feelings, which told him about the next steps in his new life. First, he needed to find a job, a place to stay, and have a good meal.
I'm going to the workers' guild, if there are no new vacancies there, then to the fellowship, if there are no new ones there, then to the center.

He must be a man whose offspring I wouldn't find unbearable to bring into this world. First, he must possess great strength, whether magical or martial, it doesn't matter; the main thing is that a man who cannot defend himself is an utterly pathetic sight. Of course, he can be a "good person," an exemplary citizen, and so on, but from the point of view of sexual attraction, such a person would not be of any interest at all. Second, he must not be a virgin, but rather possess extensive experience in intimate relationships with women... Being with a boy who doesn't even know how to use his own body would be extremely sad and, in a way, even repulsive. Third, he must not have any authorities, no matter who they are – his beloved woman, his homeland, his faith, or anything else; the dominance over his soul must belong to his own heart and the beliefs and views born within it. Fourth, he must be straightforward in his intentions, words, and actions; deceit, cunning, and even euphemisms in speech are the domain of lesser men, unworthy of my attention, although I allow cunning towards enemies and rivals. Fifth, he must never tolerate disrespectful treatment towards himself, apologize, ask anyone for permission for anything, or otherwise demean his dignity – he must be like a hurricane or another natural disaster, cruel and unyielding.
