Looking at Erathia.

"Food is included, but the courier is not part of the contract," the Nosrenrotka said, listening to Kohai. "So you'll have to deliver it yourself, okay? As for your position, you'll be stationed in the city; Astellia is here too. Let's go get a standard contract. I think you can handle the position yourself; it's pretty straightforward, but there's a lot of paperwork. It's just bureaucracy, eh..."
The knight shoulders Rock and leads Klin to the office. Oh, this place has really gone downhill without the Carneol historian; there was a certain spirit here... a mournful one. Well, never mind, Klin will be here now.
A piece of paper and a pen are placed on the table. The paper contained all the terms and conditions in legal language, and since the previous secretary clearly didn't need to do this for their position, it's obvious that the text was written by the diligent and meticulous Aiko, who wanted to be prepared for all eventualities.
"Also, I need to warn you," Erefir continues. "About our mission. It may not directly concern you, but at this stage, it would be strange to keep it a secret, right? So, we plan to kill the dragon by Monday, and we've developed a pretty good plan against it. I don't think you're interested in the details right now, though. But first, no one can be sure of anything; I've seen what the creature is capable of. Second, I pray to the gods that we catch it alone, because it definitely has accomplices, and we don't know anything about them at the moment. So, it's not a fact that you'll be working with us for long, Klin."
"Well, in the worst-case scenario, your instructions are the same as Astellia's: take everyone and evacuate. Until Monday, at hour X on Monday morning. But if we succeed, that's good; I hope for a long and fruitful collaboration, if you haven't changed your mind, of course."

She gives him time to think and carefully digest everything.
- For all the choices available, I have no choice, right? After all the shit I've been through, only now I decided that my life is finally getting better!
He desperately struck his leg with his fist.
- Gods... Before I met Beata, I would have easily accepted death. But now... I want to live. For myself, or for her. Not long ago an incident happened... She thought I was dead for several weeks. She was ready to take her own life. She blamed herself for not being able to protect me, for not being by my side. I can't let her go through this again. It will destroy her.
He puts away his weapons and all his gear to the very back of the room. He takes out his journal, tears out a page, and writes a note.
Beata, my love.
Please read to the very end before doing anything.
If you're reading this - it means I'm already dead. I suppose they'll tell you, but it turns out that for all this time I was an Apostle of Laziness. Kow, I didn't know, and nobody knew, except Your Highness - apparently, this curse had slept too deeply. Such great luck I have, collecting every misfortune
. Remember the priestess Aiano I told you of? She agreed to exorcise this corromption from me, because the alternative was death. But if you're reading this... The ritual failed. Please don't be mad at her, in that is no her fault. She's a good person and is trying to help. Just as Your Highness - by whose grace was the ritual permitted? Just... Just it just happened that way. It's nobody's fault.Forgive me for not telling you. I was dragged away in broad daylight, without a word, given no chance to warn you. I would have warned you for sure. Honestly. Not like with this curse! Above all, I want you to be by my side right now. I'm very scared, but I'm ready to do this.
Don't take your own life. Find the strength to keep living. I know you're very strong, stronger than you think. I want you to live a full, happy life; that would be the best way to honor my memory.
Forgive me for failing to carry out your final order... my lady

With love, forever yours, Guyosha <3
Sighing, he folds the note in half and hands it to Aiano.
- If anything happens to me... May I ask you to give this to my fiancée? Beata. She's from Carneol too, a tall, curvy blonde. And I want to warn you... Her temper is fiery, and for my sake, she's willing to do anything crazy. If she finds out I'm gone... She might do something foolish. Don't be mad at her, okay? I know she's not an angel... But deep down, at her core, she's a good person. I know this. I've seen her darkest sides. I know what she's capable of... And the more I see it, the more I realize how much better she is than she thinks. She'll need any help and support she can get. She'll likely blame herself for not being able to help me, for not being by my side. I want everything to be okay for her. I want her to keep living and not grieve over me.
Guyon kneels, folds his hands in prayer, and prays to Anuzish to give him strength to survive the ritual and be freed from the burden of the apostle. "For Beata... Only for her. She needs someone like me by her side. Someone who will unconditionally support and love her. She has been unhappy all her life and done a lot of foolish things because no one loved her, no one was there to support her. I don't want her to be lonely. I want her to be a happy person with a clear conscience... Please, great Anuzish, let me continue to live, for her, so that everyone can see her true self, her kindness and care."
Then he stands up and prepares to follow Aiano's instructions.

He isn't pointing his weapon at you.
-- I don't think I know you, and this is also private property of a military unit. Are you sure you haven't mistaken the building?
"As if knocking on windows is a normal practice for other buildings."
—Astellia? I don't remember if we met at yesterday's meeting... I'm used to paperwork. And I can handle it myself. I don't want to brag, but in my hometown, I was the fastest runner.
—Can it be that you managed to prepare everything in just a week? And this hammer is probably also for squashing a dragon like a fly? My admiration for Her Lightness's mercenaries is boundless. —notes the knight. "One such Carnelian could probably conquer Calcite in a week." —he adds to himself with great sadness. —Well, I'd like you to keep the depressing mood to yourself, Erephir, it doesn't suit you.
—So, we leave the city limits until Monday evening if we don't hear from you? Understood, it will be done. I hope we'll see each other again, I like to listen to stories about different exploits.
Cursed Death Knight
Schrödinger's Demoness
Apostle of Sloth
Former Necromancer
Otherworldly warrior from the land of hedonistic knights
Circus performer
Erephir steps aside and finds himself behind the brick wall, trying not to lose the initiative in case something happens.
-- I don't think I know you, and this is also private property of a military unit. Are you sure you haven't mistaken the building?
"As if knocking on windows is normal practice when dealing with other buildings."
The stranger begins to leave with unnatural slowness.
All the time he spends in prayer to Anush, she spends in a parallel prayer, addressed to Kami.
- Gion-dono... - she says at the end of the preparation. - If you still have any - any - amulets for the fortress of the mind, I will ask you to temporarily remove them. Don't think that we are going to take any journeys through the corners of your mind; it's just that I will need to temporarily immobilize you so that you do not harm yourself during the procedure.
- The will to survive is a good thing. It helps you get out of even the most hopeless situation,” the priestess nods. “And your Beata-dono reminds me of someone close to me... The demiurge of the universe has an amazing sense of humor. Still, let's hope for the best. But if something happens... I promise to fulfill your order, Gion-dono.

- Seems okay... Wait! I have Cold. The brain worm, which protects against mental influence. It... Could it interfere?

-- Astellia is our maid. That's what we agreed on.
-- So, let's create such a story.
To keep up with the rest, on Thursdays and Saturdays I read books until Raidar, and on Fridays I work 8 hours.
+10% to health
+100% to Luck
50 experience points each day (static)
+25% to the total reward for completed quests.
5% chance to receive a blessing of a random element, the ability to transfer 10 units of one characteristic to another.
I read books up to Raidar.
Immunity to Air.
Reduces Despair's evasion to 0, and its attack power to 10 if the character with this blessing is on the map.
Nullifies Despair's Air affinity.
- I know a way to protect the lives of innocents from the outrages of Despair, but if you think I'm wrong, then...
The stranger, with unnatural slowness, begins to leave.
A second later, as if after some deliberation, a hand in plate armor appears from behind the wall and waves at the man, saying "wait, wait," and then the face appears, or rather, half of the face.
-- Wait, sir. "Despair"? It sounds vaguely familiar. It seems you're talking about something quite physical, not just a sad mood. But why didn't you come through the main entrance? We don't have secrets from each other in our squad, and there's a bell hanging on the gate.
In essence, a lot depended on the answer to this question.
👍And I don't think I've met your cook yet. Otherwise, thank you, Erephir. I'll try to be helpful.
