New here? I'm Roha — want a quick tour?
- Y-yes... Alright, let's get down to business, - Nihonka was glad to change the subject. - The investigation revealed that these are two different people, but they were both affected by the same event. If you want, I can tell you the story in more detail, but I will still have to omit certain details, as they are quite brutal and too personal. What matters to us is the place where you found them. You mentioned a workshop belonging to some sorcerer - it so happened that at the time they appeared, he was still alive and well, and they were both "okay" - as much as possible at that point in the story. He took them in and kept them for some time, until his ulterior motives were revealed. This led to aggression and a quarrel, during which the sorcerer attacked and was killed, but he managed to curse them both. Theoretically, Kayasa-kocho might be able to help break the curse on Sakua - return her to her original form, but it won't be exactly "breaking the curse," but rather... In short, it is possible to do this, but it won't be easy. As for Lolita... Unfortunately, her situation is much worse. Based on the circumstances, it should be possible to restore her to a normal state, but this will require breaking several rather complex mental barriers. This cannot be done on the territory of Margel; the problem lies far beyond its borders.
"Mmm, how profound... It seems the message is that one should master the profession of a linguist; it will be useful to understand what is written inside the cookie."
Still, the girl liked the idea.
A little later, a secret conversation with Merel, away from prying ears:
-- In general, I hoped to send someone else on this mission besides myself, but the morals of this country will not be on my side if I present myself as the wife of a non-gnome. And that is understandable. In short, there are things that I don't quite like.
- I could. But for now, I have certain doubts about whether I can trust you, Bors-san, - says Aiyano, and explains, before it can be misunderstood. - ...trust you not to do something rash and impulsive, guided by the best intentions.
Therefore, I wouldn't want to see a locked-up store on Emerald Street next time, with no sign of its staff ever again.
Will the carnelians be available the next day?
Indeed, our choices are limited, and relying on what we have is difficult and, in some cases, even dangerous," Merel concluded. "Perhaps it would be easier to approach at night and do everything necessary without daytime visits and the associated complications.
