Lola doesn't blink.

I suspect that Belik doesn't like "evil" characters. With Merel, everything is clear, given his past. Beata is also kind of a bandit, and Gillon is an accomplice. So, Ayano might have a chance, considering she only killed undead creatures, and looted (or assisted in looting – I don't remember if she directly looted anything) only the palace of those undead creatures.

-- It's hard to say. Maybe some local sweets?

I suspect that Belik doesn't like "evil" characters. With Merel, everything is clear, considering his past. Beata is also kind of a bandit, and Gillon is an accomplice, no matter how you look at it. So, Ayano might have a chance, considering that she only killed monsters, and robbed (or assisted in robbing, I don't remember if she directly looted anything) only the palace of these monsters.

I also have this suspicion, which is why Gillon didn't go to the cat. And also because I'm a potato and I'm carrying experience on one and a half brain cells.

-- Thank you! And now... Please wrap up a jade amulet, some silk, and... Hmm, I don't know, your tea is very fragrant, of course, but I'm afraid I'm already reaching my purchase limit. I don't know if I should buy it or not... (Luck, but only to check if the merchant is okay with it, in case of success)

For some strange reason, Alaria didn't think the king would go to the Temple with his retinue. Did she really think that a proud man with such a powerful physique would do it himself? Perhaps it was just due to lack of sleep, while waiting for news from Her Majesty. But the more she thought about the wizard's "request," the more she wondered... did he specifically need Akkad's blood? Wouldn't the blood of Naria do? However, the Tanarian wasn't so foolish or reckless as to ask her patron to part with a gallon of blood that would be used by a suspicious sorcerer for his equally suspicious purposes. She simply couldn't do it – the curse would simply not allow her to explain to Her Highness why her servants liked this blood. So, Akkad remained their only option, in case another member of noble blood didn't show up in Calcite, or the group didn't happen to encounter one of the great king's many offspring. In that case, all that remained was to send Kenshiro to follow Akkad like a shadow during each pilgrimage, hoping that the ruler of Calcite would encounter bloodthirsty monsters or exceptionally brave bandits. Then the ghost might have a chance to restrain the king during a fight, extract the blood, and... no, even then he might reveal himself. He could be spotted by the guards. But sending the samurai alone, hoping that he could single-handedly eliminate the camp and drain Akkad's blood... the girl didn't see any easy solutions yet, and she didn't want to rely on luck.
If anything, I'm waiting for Heroist to post and offer the necklace in exchange for the eight paths. If he hasn't changed his mind, of course. I definitely need to level up before the tournament, and I would start with that.

- Whatever. Even if you blinked, I wouldn't know if you did it because you understood me or because you were asked to.
After thinking for a while, she gets up.
- We have a very difficult decision to make, and I'm not sure I'm capable of it. Are you willing to sacrifice someone to save yourselves? I suggest you think about it at your leisure. But not today. Bors-san said he would return in the morning... I don't trust you enough to properly close the shop, so I'll probably stay here. I'll find somewhere to lie down; I hope he won't mind.
She spends the rest of the evening cleaning and setting up a protective ofuda for the night - even if the "phantom" returns earlier than planned, he's unlikely to have any problems with it, but nevertheless, she puts a note under the glass door (in Velfernian!) so that if anything happens, he'll just knock.

The Phantom returns earlier and crashes into the barrier.

While digging through materials for the Lytdybrov (it's already the 14th, I'll be writing soon!), I noticed that either I'm not paying attention, or Reven didn't add the cat girl from Vishenka to the list of NPCs.

And also the girl from the train station.

And the characters from Yansi, too. Although, what does it matter, we're already dead from eating fruit.

-- Thank you! Now, while we're here... I'd like a jade amulet, some silk, and... Hmm, I'm not sure. Your tea is very fragrant, of course, but I'm afraid I'm reaching my purchase limit. I don't know if I should get anything else... (Luck, but only to check if the merchant is okay with it, in case of success)

- Of course, take it, you won't regret it.

Neudacha udachi.

-- Hmm, -- convincing Aiko: success. -- Okay. I'll take one too. Thank you!

- Go to Jade Street, house number 15.

A late-night visit here.

As promised, Gaheris Bors returned home the next morning, but before entering, he peeked through the windows to make sure the sorceress had already left. From the note she left behind, he gathered that the priestess had stayed the night.
— Miss Ayame? — he asks in a near whisper, trying not to wake his guest if she hasn't woken up yet. — Miss Ayame, are you here?

So, Guion isn't afraid to go to any lengths to earn some money for some miserable crossbow, while Ayko squanders the mission's budget on all sorts of trinkets and knick-knacks...

The teapot cost me less than the Guillon candies, but it will give us 3.5 times more stats...

Ah, back in the day, I hoped that Phantom would be some kind of morally ambiguous dark sorcerer with a bunch of skeletons in his closet.
