"In this chaotically changing world, there is only one thing you can rely on, a certain important constant of existence: these are the people who care about you. I have the strength, I have the time, it's time to visit them, support them a little, and maybe, in turn, hear a pleasant 'Oh, you're still alive!' In short, where are they all? I'll go and see."

For starters, the nozenrot's legs carried her to Amamius's place of residence (not to the shop, which has been closed for a long time; it was clearly pointless to go there, she had already checked).

Lord, if he hadn't met Aiyano.

He probably wouldn't have fallen in love with Sonata...

Erephir finds Amamus at the entrance to his Haven; he was sitting on a bench, looking like Dionysus, but unlike the photographer, there was no sadness or anxiety on his face.

-- Amamus, hello, my friend, -- he nods. -- How have you been lately?

Although she managed to restrain herself then, during the conversation with Klyn, Alaria struggled to suppress the urge to simply hug the knight, to somehow comfort him. Perhaps his cold, lifeless nature wouldn't feel any effect from the embrace, but perhaps at least some emotional warmth would touch his tormented soul. Warm him in a difficult moment. Although, perhaps the words she had said earlier were already enough, and her companion simply needed time. It was difficult not to worry about the creedarian, but there was nothing she could do right now. She couldn't just barge in, like Kalentia and Gulveig, forcing good and justice upon him. Such measures weren't needed as long as he hadn't completely withdrawn into himself. But if he couldn't break free from the abyss of despair... then yes, the time for decisive action would come. That would be her duty as a friend. And it would be the best way to honor the knight's deceased relatives. To show that there were still people in the world who cared about Klyn. Who would take care of him in a difficult moment.

But for now, she needed to find something to occupy herself with. To distract herself. And at the same time, she could check on the headquarters, while the same thing was happening there. Therefore, Tanarsia decided to go to the adventurers' guild; maybe there was some work available. A way to keep herself busy with something useful, and perhaps even earn some money. You never know when extra money might be needed, and "Carneol" still had two weeks until the next paycheck.

-- Amamius, hello, my friend, -- he nodded. -- How have you been lately?

- Hello... How am I? I'm just getting by. And how are you?

- Hello... How are you?... I'm doing okay. And how are yours?

-- Yeah, same here. I just got back from another business trip. There's just a lot of negative news coming out one after another. And no matter how hard we try, it's hard to grasp it all. But it's good that you're alive and well.

- It sounds quite complicated, like an endgame location for the final boss. Constructs – how many are there, at least? Meat, Wizards, monsters, and surely some other kind of monstrosity. And on top of all that – the main abomination. Ideally, it would be best to just level the entire dungeon and be done with it, but I'm sure it's impossible to do that on a whim. It's even strange how something like this can exist on such a scale right under the Emperor's nose, unless... - Aiyano didn't finish the sentence. - And this Dakini could use some fresh air more often. Spending her whole life in a basement – it's no wonder she has to resort to madness to maintain her appearance. Do you know if she or anyone else ever goes out of there? They must need things like food and water, and besides, these wealthy people somehow get in there. Maybe there's something like a pass or something. And one more thing worries me... Royal blood is needed to summon something here, and of a fairly high order. I assumed that Dakini was some distant descendant of the dynasty, but you say there are also nameless, statistical summoners? And summoners, as I understand it. How is that possible?

Ideally, we should just level this entire dungeon and be done with it, but I doubt that's possible without any repercussions.

Wait a month or two and send Beata there.

But why Beata right away? She's not a dragon...

Looking for a girl for one day
Let me say right away, I'm not asking for anything special, just to hold hands and things like that. My classmates are coming, and it's embarrassing to be without a girlfriend.

Probably everyone else noticed it before, but it just occurred to me now.

The guild was operating in its usual mode; no new tasks have appeared yet, but the old ones haven't disappeared either.

-- Yeah, that's right, I just returned from another business trip. It feels like negative news is just pouring in one after another. And no matter how hard we try, it's difficult to handle it all at once. But it's good that you're alive and well.

- This could change at any moment. For example, you might suddenly be overcome with a fit of rage and smash my face with your hammer, Anuzish. As you can see, human life is a very fleeting thing.

- If we cause a collapse, it might happen that the cultists survive and move to a new location secretly, and then it will be more difficult to find them again. Besides, I would like to rescue their victims if possible... The golems of the covenant members do not attack, so they come and go without any problems; I don't know how they manage it. If nothing has changed since last time, there should be five of them on each side. As for the blood, I can't tell you anything; I don't know much about summoning.

Checking Uev

"The more things change, the more they stay the same."
The girl didn't feel like interacting with "Doctor Evil" unnecessarily. She also wasn't entirely sure about Creon's assignment and didn't want to reveal too much about her extraterrestrial nature to a curious stranger. Of course, there was a chance that someone else had already told him, including other potential Rheian candidates, but she couldn't rely on that. And even if he had, there was no guarantee he would respect the privacy of his other informants. All that remained was the vague task from Tai. One could assume that he was looking for a girlfriend, but the lack of any requirements for the performer made that unlikely. Perhaps he needed help confessing his feelings to the girl he liked? It was worth a try, especially since Erefir had already promised him gifts. This meant that one of them would have to visit the villa again, sooner or later. And since she was already in charge of preparing the gifts, it was only fair that she deliver them.

So, the girl first headed back to the Carnelian headquarters and locked herself in the kitchen, spending some time preparing today's lunch. Her companions were tired and exhausted; after defeating the dragon, Margel had greeted them with another tragedy, so they needed something nutritious, something that would boost their energy and lift their spirits. But it also had to be light enough not to negatively affect their digestion. They were already planning to stuff themselves with meat pies tomorrow. But even then, she could be a little clever, using relatively light harpy meat as the filling. This would also be a chance to try out a new recipe. In theory, it should work well.

As for the gift for Manin, the Thanarian decided that a tried-and-true recipe would work best in this case, so she chose custard pastries. Despite his prickly personality, the guy seemed to have a sweet tooth. Perhaps this impression was misleading, but she wouldn't know until she tried. Besides, she knew how to make them well. And even without using succubus milk, they were simply delicious. It was a pity that they weren't the best for digestion if you didn't know when to stop. That's why, for the past couple of months, she had been refraining from indulging in these treats, sharing them only with others. She could only hope that the imperial servant would also enjoy the pastries.

Having finished all the preparations and packed her creations into a convenient box, the warrior nodded to herself in satisfaction and headed to the princess's villa to find the young man she had spoken to a few hours ago.

- Yes, that's the problem... Regarding the golems, it seems the only option is to poke at them with a fork until we succeed? That doesn't sound great. There must be some hidden entrance, or at least a pass system... If I understand correctly, this cult is supposed to recruit or invite sponsors, namely the wealthy. Somehow, this should be reflected in the game. Try to remember – I know it's been a long time, but maybe some phrase was dropped in your presence, or something along those lines; something like that would definitely stick in your mind as one of those things that give a fleeting hope. They'll definitely be digging into people's minds, so we need to figure out how to deal with that too... And also, do you remember if there were any "priests" anywhere? Although I can't really call them that in this context. You know, I don't think even you with your twelve apostles could handle this. But unfortunately, even with my connections, I can only think of one person who would agree to help with this suicidal mission. I think I'll have to ask the chimera if she can spare anyone else.

But unfortunately, even with my extensive network, I can only name one person right away.

Aiyano is once again underestimating the strength of her friendship with Bajena. 😔

Upon learning about the guest's purpose, she was escorted to the servants' hall, where Manin was currently taking a break from his work. On the table in front of him was a racing track drawn on paper, divided into cells, and four figurines were placed on the cells, each with a small piece of paper attached to its base, numbered 1, 2, 3, and 4 respectively.

In addition to this, he also had a deck of playing cards. Apparently, each figurine was assigned one turn, during which the guy drew one card from the deck. Then the process was repeated until one of the figurines reached the finish line. The cards with numbers moved the figurine forward by the corresponding number of cells, a jack made the figurine skip a turn, and a king also skipped the next turn; aces moved the figurine forward by 10 cells and allowed another turn. As for the queens, they provided "upgrades" - red ones added +1 to the base speed, and black ones allowed re-rolling the result of one turn.
