"A million ideas, and none of them work! 😆"
"No, actually, we do have some good ideas. We've got a great team here."

 

"Mechiik, where are you going?"

 

-- It is a great honor for us, oh holy one. I am Erefir Lin'el Darvening, and these are my companions: Garret, Merel, and Alaria. I will speak to you plainly, hoping that our honesty will be respected more than any roundabout way, especially since someone like you, oh holy one, will recognize trickery in an instant. No one, including the head of the Church of Anush, who sent us on this mission, was able to give us any clues as to how to earn your favor for one of us. But we still need it for the battle against the Apostle of Despair and to save our entire country from his annihilating attack. At the same time, we understand that nothing in the world comes easily, and humble mortals like us do not dare to ask for anything simply by virtue of our existence, let alone by our noble intentions. So, we are at your service.

 

-- Especially Garret, -- a nod towards the crossbowman. -- Who has an affinity for the earth, being a specialist in poisons of the corresponding element. He is so skilled that he seems to create them right from the soil.

Make her kiss the boot?

- A... arigato, - Ayano nodded, trying to figure out what she was feeling - did Anuzish ultimately grant her his blessing, or did he send her off to the four winds?
It was hard to tell. She looked around the shop - maybe a dropped coin was lying somewhere?... Although, maybe it shouldn't work that way.
"Did I mishear, or did he reveal our secret in that prayer?" - this thought added to the picture.
- Well, then, we'll probably go, there are still some things to do. But I'll drop by again in a few days, - she glanced at the rest of the inventory. - Thank you again, Bronislava-san, Kripov-shinpu.

After making the lowest bow, they leave the shop.
- Then let's not put it off and go to the forge right away, it's just a few steps away. And I need to have a quick chat with the owner. And what did you talk about with Bronya? - saying this, she thought that she probably shouldn't be so familiar with a person even without his personal presence, but what's said is said. - Don't think that I'm trying to pry, I'm just curious, what points of contact could they have found... From my own experience, I know that often you have to extrapolate what you have experienced to the local customs.

- Hmm... About women. I think you noticed how she was looking at the priest?... She was interested in how to make him start seeing her as a woman. Unfortunately, I'm not familiar with this person, so I had to give only general advice.

- Services...? What do you mean? - She pondered. - Give you some dangerous task or challenge in the spirit of "hit me at least once"? Pose an interesting riddle? Make you kiss a boot? The head of your Church is right - I don't care about any of that. When the celestials arrive, then my sword will find its purpose, but until then, who kills whom and where doesn't concern me. People overestimate themselves too much if they think that their fate has any significance for this world.

- Wow. Actually, no, I didn't notice. But... - "I don't have much experience with these things...". - Well, that's probably a good thing. If my altar were ready, I would have told her fortune or... well, never mind. Maybe by that time, she won't need it anymore. Uh... Sorry for "talking you into" getting a kunai. I didn't even think about it, but it really could have looked like we were wasting people's time. And why not a shuriken, for example? - she notices that their walk has almost brought them to the entrance of the forge.

Rinakat's face showed no sympathy, concern, or dislike, only focus.
- As far as I know, one of your emperors, Raidarck, conquered the Dragon King precisely to protect the empire from such threats... including Lady Zephyr, although the idea of her attacking another country is absurd. Besides, he would have fallen to her sword anyway. - For a brief moment, proud undertones crept into the man's voice. - Why is he inactive?

-- We truly cannot comprehend the perspective of someone so experienced. And yet... we serve the same purpose here. Perhaps you've heard of the Thaïs incident? The malevolent, otherworldly deity Rynze was indeed trying to find a way into this world, to the point where she could be felt physically, even though her physical form was far away. As soon as one of the mortals faltered, cast their gaze in the wrong direction, or found themselves in a place filled with her cursed energy, they would hear Rynze's whispers and, against their will, become her servants. The entire city was infected, like a hornet's nest in the middle of a beehive. Could this sect one day summon their patron deity? I don't know. But their combined faith was definitely causing harmful changes to Anush, and it would certainly have gotten worse.

-- It may sound arrogant, and considering your exploits, it's probably laughable, but the fact is that we were among those who dealt with this problem. We defeated their champion, and then the Welfern Empire finished the job. Eventually, Patriarch Eugene Kripov appealed to Anush and imposed a mandate on all remaining Rynzites, severing their connection to their goddess, and that's how Rynze's attempt to invade our world ended before it could gain momentum.

-- Nevertheless, this is only the beginning. Gnosis, Tevta, Sophia – this may not be a complete list of those who threaten Anush right now, but our suzerain claims that the crisis could escalate at any moment, and that's why we've been gathered. Saving people is important, but our grand task is to save the whole world, and although we cannot boast of the power to oppose the celestials, we can still help prevent their appearance, even though we are just mortals. And we will not spare anything for this, because this beautiful world holds a special place in the heart of each of us.
