-- Wow, I need to write this down, -- he scribbles in a notebook in a random spot. -- Thanks for the advice and good luck with the contest!

- Thank you too, and good luck, Erephir!

Didn't cast a farewell spell. Naira > Nadia.

Does anyone remember if Merel and Garret had any plans for their Nobunagas?

It seems they were planning to use them as fodder to upgrade Akechi.

After talking to Nadia and waving her off, Fyr-Fyr heads to Carneol's forge, where driven by primal instincts she immediately gets to work forging millions of tiny parts: all those chains, all the little bolts-screws-joints, gears, tubes, pistons... Back when she was only proposing the project to Quant, Erefir had no idea of the technical level actually required for it, but now that he was ready, things were different. Still, she expected (naively) to finish quickly.

Heat-hammer-temper-cut. Join-rivet. Probably some of the work had to be finished in Chronos on the master's special precision tools, with his permission. Especially, of course, when it came to the propulsion system.
When everything was done, assembled, and lubricated, (un)surprisingly, she found she'd spent simply a ton of time and effort on it (3 blacksmithing AP, 1 regular AP).

-- Damn it... The guys are going to kill me, -- she muttered. -- But still! -- the chainsword made a loud vroom-vroom. -- But they're still going to kill me...

"Fine, I'll think of something. After all, making standard crossbows — is that even interesting? I'll forge them later when my blacksmithing AP refreshes, or buy them. By the way, two-handed mechanical sword is too long a name, and even if the weapon is standard-issue, I want it called something short and punchy, without excessive pomp."

-- I name thee "Chainsaw".

Satisfied, having placed the weapon in main slot 1 (and the old regular sword into main slot 2), Fyr-Fyr goes to the Archive, where she hastily studies:

Interview with Her Highness Naria es Diesra Arual
-1 AP, -4 hours
+1 AP, +2 to SP, +30% to health, +50% to initiative, and +1 to all characteristics. 

"Hmm, interesting. If I want to give something to Her Highness, then it should preferably be footwear? Not an easy task."
"She wakes up earlier than me, wow, and here I thought I was the early bird with my morning training )"
"And summer really is a good season. The rest needs no comment."

How Miss Cosmos Works
-1 AP, -4 hours
+100 experience, +1 to a characteristic of choice.

"I see, so that's why I noticed my new body seemed not to match the old one in certain details and principles; it wasn't teleportation, nor exact reproduction, but an attempt to forge me like a sculpture modeled after the world of the past. I think I now better understand the capabilities and limitations of my body."
Gains +1 endurance.

Senate of the Empire, Part I — North
-1 AP, -4 hours
+100 experience, +1 to endurance.

"Here's what I took away from this book."
Erefir writes in her to-do list: "Go skiing."

Senate of the Empire, Part II — Skrim Tribes
-1 AP, -4 hours
+100 experience, +1 to strength.

"Surprisingly, this orc is a decent philosopher, well, at least on a surface level... When buying flags of such wild places, I expected to learn their strength and ferocity as opposed to the civilization I've been in myself these last months, and especially not to forget how people live in the most uncivilized corners of various worlds. But I should have remembered not to look down on anyone and to be ready to be surprised, as in this case."


With her last AP, Fyr-Fyr hesitated a bit, choosing between a trade textbook and a guidebook... Both promised to be useful, but learning trade only made sense if there would be no competitors in the party for the same quest, otherwise completing it would become much harder. What did charismatic Merel say? Was he planning to do that or not?

In principle, for the last AP I could craft Beata a crossbow, right? There's a nuance though — yes, it's a bit of a shame to spend non-blacksmithing ones, and the weapon will be, as I understand, at the level worth 200 repair.

- Sometimes, listening to you, it seems like you even have the makings of a priest or a wise leader. In the truest sense of the word, not just someone who hits you on the head with a hammer. You're so capable of providing moral support at the right moment that it doesn't quite fit your image. Thank you, EdgeLord-kun," she said, nodding and finishing her breakfast. "Gochisousama."
Getting up, she rummages through the boxes:
- If there's any suitable tea here, I'll brew it in the Japanese style. I think that would be fair.

- Koto, just so you know, I threw that away a while ago, okay? So don't think anything of it...

- And never mind. I just hope some kids don't find it, or they might learn something bad.

You might not guess it, but I can cook quite well. You know what the teacher used to say? "We are what we eat, and therefore eating well is the duty of any self-respecting person!" I never liked his obsession with cooking and healthy eating, although it sometimes helped me run the cafe, but now I feel grateful for those lessons.

- Yes, that's what he said. In general, he's right, although I had a slight disagreement with him. Food isn't what completely shapes a person, but it strengthens the core of their being, which remains unchanged, regardless of external factors. Unless it's initially cracked, of course... - she paused for a few seconds to consider this philosophical-metaphorical concept. - Or maybe he's one of those who doesn't believe in the soul and divine entities? Although that would be strange in an enlightened society. Never mind. The most important thing is that you learned something useful from it, because there are people who, once freed from the supervision of a "warden," whether it's a parent, a school teacher, or a temple head who hits you with a stick, relax and continue to live for decades as they would have lived in childhood, not realizing that the point of discipline was to forge an independent being out of a person.
She finally found everything she needed in the boxes and started the necessary tea-making processes:
- Let's skip the formalities; we'll use whatever's on hand.

Oh, and by the way, regarding the Temple - would you mind if I helped with its construction? I mean, not with money, although I can do that if necessary, but with my own efforts - I'll lay bricks and do other things.

- Planks. That would help, but right now, the Margel builders are taking care of it, so... unless you really have nothing else to do... Don't sacrifice your time at the expense of your own project - that's what I'm saying. But to be honest, even though it hasn't been that long since the foundation was laid, it feels like a decade has passed. Sometimes I have the feeling that by the time it's finished, ten other temples will have been built, haha.

Basically, I can craft Beate's crossbow for the last Overlord Dungeon, should I? The thing is, it's a bit of a waste to use non-blacksmithing materials, and the weapon will be around level 200 in terms of repair cost.

You should read it first. You can either craft the crossbow later, or I'll find something else, although I want to buy that black outfit from Vishenka if it's still available. But you'll be able to craft later, and you can't read now.

I was also thinking about counting trading towards the next phase, but I have no idea how to complete the quest involving selling items.

Rev said that he can’t do either. Due to technical reasons, Naria can only give me 6 Action Points for now, and this won’t change in the near future (((

I really have no idea how to complete the quest that involves selling items.

In your case, it’s probably selling food to restaurants.

I've already learned trading; buy a fruit from me for 500.

I thought you were going to feed it to Sanex. If not, you should have tried to persuade Alaria...

Does Guion get a discount?

Rev said that he won't be able to do either. Due to technical reasons, the cool gift for Naria has only given me 6 OD for now, and this won't change in the near future (((In your case, it's probably better to sell food to restaurants.

Oh, that's disappointing. But okay, I'll buff up anyway, I'll find the money for some generic crossbow, and maybe after the quests, I'll get a better one.

Beata notices Erephir in the archive and, without wasting time, quietly asks.
- Chief, what did Her Highness say? When is the mission? Is it worth going to the Baldr school, or what? And what's the news in general?

I thought you were going to feed it to Sanex. If not, you should have persuaded Alaria...

Alaria didn't want to do it for free, so now she'll buy it for 500.
And that's if Amamius doesn't intercept it at the auction.

I dub thee "Chainsaw."

If Kline had been working in the store that day, he would probably have been horrified by his colleague, even through the aura of a death knight. Who would have thought that such a sweet, friendly, and kind girl spends her free time inventing bloodthirsty instruments of merciless destruction in the most gruesome forms imaginable.

If Kline had expressed his horror aloud, Erefir would have looked pointedly at the Devourer and remained silent... However, she probably wouldn't have done it sarcastically, but rather with simple disbelief; the Devourer would also have appealed to her.

- Boss, what did Her Highness say? When is the assignment? Is it worth going to the Baldur School, or what? And what's the News?

-- Oh, are you still sitting here, little kittens? Are you not getting in trouble for chatting? -- she quietly asked. -- Look, I spoke with Princess Naera, as our patron is temporarily away. For now, there are no plans for Carneol. We are studying. There are no significant News... Although, yes, the fighting club was shut down; now it's Aquamarine, a club based on interests. They are planning a "Miss Margel" contest: they will choose the very best based on beauty and two other unknown criteria 🤭
