- No, that's just... well, unless it's in the form of voluntary donations for Kami. Maybe you'll cleanse your karma a bit and gain their favor, - she pulls a chocolate bar out of her bag. - This is from the Cheerful Herald. Well, not directly from her, but... it would be better if you gave it to her, not the other way around, but maybe it will play some symbolic role and serve as a reminder that friendship is magic, as we learned today.
After saying this, she checks Sonata's position outside the window and says:
- It's amazing. The first time I was in this room, I almost fainted - for many reasons, - but now I don't even want to leave. But since we've dealt with the urgent issues, I need to go back to the Holy Lady-san; she's already waiting for me. She was going to show me what's what here.

With a polite nod, Klin also takes one of the available seats.

Garret settled comfortably in a secluded corner of the living room, engrossed in reading another book, when Erefir led the guests into the room. One of them seemed vaguely familiar to him, and this made him look up from his reading. The name, the sword, the voice... And yet, even if the crown didn't conceal his current undead nature, he might not have recognized him. However, the archer was unaware of the crown's effect.
"Klin, is that you?... Hmm. So, he survived the south, and he's still quite capable."
Approaching closer, he greeted Quantum, and then turned his attention to the knight.
— ... Klin Chegver, — the aster said thoughtfully, carefully examining the visitor and digging into his memory for their last meeting. — I didn't think we would ever meet again, and here we are... Although we are already somewhat acquainted, I suppose I owe you an introduction... My name is Garret. Warrior of Carnelian. — he added unnecessarily, as it was already obvious, and extended his hand to the guest.

After doing this, she checks the position of Sonata through the window and says:

- And can donations really "improve your karma"?.. To be honest, it sounds a bit counterintuitive... But okay, of the two of us, you're the expert, so you know best!
The Lord takes the chocolate bar and puts it on the table, intending to eat it later. Sonata remains in the same place, looking bored.
- Alright, then I won't keep you. And... I was very glad to see you.

In just one day, Aiyano successfully re-skinned Kalinka.

- She was from Noir. I suppose it won't be easy for a dragon to attack an underground city.
- Those born to fly underground can't crawl, and so on, - Kalina interjected.
- So, Carneol has two options: either go to the border with Farellia and hope for the best, or go to Kridear and wait for Despair to arrive... which guarantees massive casualties and horrific destruction. Evacuation is probably not an option either, as it could prompt the enemy to strike elsewhere...

"Yes... For example, right at the evacuating crowds. Perhaps, if they didn't have informants, and if they could do everything in advance, they could deceive by simulating normal city activity? But no, that's naive. To catch the dragon at an intermediate point? Yeah, right. It's unlikely he'll fly in a straight line."

-- I heard that in the first hunt for the Apostle, Carneol was helped by a certain priestess from Mitsurugi, and she had an item that attracted the Apostle's madness, which, among other things, decided the battle. If we had such an item, we could set up camp near the supposed strike location... and make him attack us instead. However, even then, there's no guarantee, as the "annihilator" profession of Despair may grant him immunity...

The girl tried to think again.

-- Of course, we don't have a good and reliable option. Distraction? Where would we get more green auras? Perhaps some items have them; I haven't really thought about it, but technically, it would be difficult to correctly choose the distance between our location and the distraction location, so that we can both catch the dragon and divert the priest's attention where it needs to go. To camouflage a cannon battery in the nearby mountains, preventing the priests from emerging from their shelters and looking at the sky? There are difficulties, both technical, because the enemy has aerial reconnaissance, and even political; Farellia will take it badly... if it hasn't already declared war on us, of course. -- Erefir was slightly embarrassed that, with all the fuss, she was missing such an important news item.

-- But the loss of Kridear means that even a subsequent victory over the dragon will weaken the Empire; people will decide that they are cheap pawns in this war, and they will be right. I want to find another way. Either we really have to hope that we will be far enough from the priest, but close enough to the dragon. Perhaps, if we knew the future, perhaps if we could accurately predict its trajectory, we could catch it in the middle of the path... No, even being within the priest's area of effect, I find acceptable, as long as we have time to kill the scaled beast before we are destroyed by something else. I don't know what my comrades will say, but I would prioritize that. If, however, as a result of the risk we take, we lose completely... What does the Suzerain say about this?

-- It's a pity, of course, that the blessings don't protect us, because aren't the saints stronger than a priest-partisan, and shouldn't their authority in Anush be higher? -- a smile.

- No, no, thank you. Although, perhaps, if you allow, I would take a few cookies with me, for a friend. After all, I really walked around the city yesterday, but I couldn't find where to buy treats. You're lucky with your cook.

-- Of course, take whatever you want.

- Ah, so that's how it is...

A slightly questioning look, what riddle did he solve for himself... Could it be that he doesn't believe in the Anush nature of the redhead either? Oh well, what has she done 🤭

— ... Klin Chegver. — the aster said thoughtfully, carefully examining the visitor and digging in his memory for their last meeting. — I didn't think we would ever meet again, and here we are... Although we are already somewhat familiar, I suppose I owe you an introduction... My name is Garret. Warrior of Carnelian. — he added unnecessarily, and extended his hand to the guest.

— I am also very surprised. — "So, my vision wasn't deceiving me on Monday. What an interesting twist of fate." — Pleased to meet you, Garret. — the knight replied, shaking his hand. — Fate is a funny thing.

It was quite interesting to remember how at first he mentally tapped his temple, watching the aster talk to a skull, and now... Now, they would probably easily find common ground.

How Erathia regrets not wiping out Carnelian in Taise...

Bring your bride along; they will block each other with Bruno while you kill the dragon.

Let’s take Aejlord and let him fulfill his destiny.

You can also spontaneously arrange marriages for the entire Carnelian faction with either Gwayne or Beata.

- Of course, it's possible, as it shows a person's respect for the divine and confirms their willingness to sacrifice material possessions for the salvation of their soul. This works within certain limits – it's unlikely that a person who has slain six hundred and sixty-six souls, including the innocent and children, will be able to find absolute forgiveness in this way, but still...
- Kochiro nods with a wry smile. - And one more arigato for Bajena. I doubt I could have convinced her on my own. Well... - he waves his hand and leaves.

Before going to Ladya, she manages to reach Sonata:
- Sorry for the delay. You slipped away so unnoticed, I didn't even have time to react. Did Bors-san teach you these tricks?... And once again, I apologize for that performance. But your presence certainly provided moral support in this situation. And it's good that your acquaintance with her didn't end on yesterday's sour note. She's an impulsive woman with her quirks, who should filter her speech better, and she works in a questionable place, but... despite all that, she's a good person," Aiyano smiled, as if now she was defending Bajena to Sonata, although the day before the situation was the opposite. - And you're quite lucky. Women aren't allowed as customers here, so the menu here is a unique experience.

You can also spontaneously marry the entire Carnelian faction to Gion or Beata.

Um... But why?!

How Errefir regrets not wiping out Carneol in Thaise...

/ She's just putting on a brave face because she's a summoned hero, and she understands that summoned heroes are here to save the locals, otherwise, what's the point of them... But in general, if you press her on this, she doesn't want to lose her friends more than she wants to harm the creatures, although she is also afraid of other consequences, and there are many other considerations. /

Lord also put forward the theory that at that time, the green faction loses its designated tag and green aura.

- My agility is above a hundred, so I can afford anything, - Sonata joked, - don't apologize, these are all ordinary things in people's lives... The bad will be forgotten, and friendship will last forever. I'm really glad you made up. - She smiled. - Yes, the menu here is very good. You know, I'm lucky that I can eat so much and not gain weight.
