- Yes, there's a big problem with that. I can build a decent stool myself, but in the same amount of time and with the same energy, I could earn a lot more money doing something else and buy ten stools of roughly the same quality, or even better. You know what? Let me give you a job while the city is still in a state of stasis.

- Well, people are strange, they should generally be simpler. So, what kind of guys do you like?
— Hmm, — the girl pondered, thinking about how best to express the abstract image in words, — I'm afraid my answer will lack originality. Perhaps, if I describe everything in the context of an abstractly idealized image, then in terms of character, it should be a reliable person, not devoid of inner strength, who will not break under the misfortunes that befall him. Someone you can always rely on. Someone who has a favorite activity, whether it's work or a hobby, in which they have found themselves and enjoy doing it. Someone kind, whom I can trust and who trusts me. It would be good if he were also quite erudite, capable of engaging in an interesting conversation. I also value honesty, with himself and with those around him. And in terms of appearance, someone fit, but rather graceful than muscular. Broad-shouldered athletes are not quite my type, although there are always exceptions. It would be good if he had refined facial features; I have nothing against a certain "femininity" in this regard. Unfortunately, I have a certain degree of superficiality, — the Tanarian girl smiled ironically, — but all of this together is probably too high a bar. There are qualities that I like, but if you compare people to the ideal image you have built in your head all your life, you will remain alone. Moreover, they are capable of changing for the better, under favorable conditions. Or, to be honest, the opposite. So, in reality, it all depends on chance. One cannot even rule out the possibility that I will meet someone who meets the qualities mentioned above, but there will be no romance from either side. Perhaps I would have given an example of a suitor from my personal experience, but my last few years have somehow passed without romantic relationships, and the old ones may be idealized under the influence of nostalgia. So... that's how it is. I hope my answer satisfied you.
- Ah, a significant combat squad. Just in case someone from my colleagues decides to retire prematurely... I understand," Myco nods. "But perhaps you didn't quite understand my question, or you decided not to comment? I can be more direct because this is not something that should be left unsaid. We have your students with something wrong in their heads, some are even excessively fanatical, there's you, and there's that disgusting cult, whose operations module probably includes brainwashing, and even if it doesn't... Naria is far away, but everything else is right in front of us. And surely, at this moment, each of them will have a certain choice in their minds, which they may not make in your favor. What then?
-- An unusual role reversal. Alright, I'm listening, what's the job?
- Forge a weapon for me, and the second one will be my payment.

And then someone still speaks badly about him...
"Honestly, it wouldn't hurt me to have things be a little easier."

- Wow, you women have complicated lives; with this approach, you'll end up living with cats, while we men will be with figurines, and then less developed civilizations will conquer our empire because they don't have these problems. Alright, I need to get back to work; if you come up with something for the assignment, feel free to stop by. But if Her Highness returns, it's better to meet outside the villa.
Amamius brings Erefir![]()
- Forge a weapon for me from one, and take the other as payment.
-- Yes... I'd love to see the very meteorites from which these wonderful ingots are smelted. This is my favorite work, -- she smiled ear to ear. -- So tell me, what kind of weapon do you want? Something quiet and elegant? Professional and stylish? Maybe something that synergizes with your unique skills? Or something that grants charisma?
-- Yes... I would like to see the meteorites themselves from which these beautiful ingots are made.

Only you and Arcomage are bored.
Where do we end up when we save the world?
- No, I'm not considering it. I'm just wondering if you've considered that option and if you have any plan. Now I understand your answer. Yes, she left at an inconvenient time. And Aria-dono still hasn't returned... But, never mind, it's not even their business. Maybe I should ask my colleagues?... - the priestess murmurs thoughtfully, then looks up. - Okay, there are things that need to be done first. Are you busy right now? I think it would be very wise to visit Bors-san and discuss a strategy. But... have you heard about some church unrest? They say that Kripov-shinpu, with a snap of his fingers, turned from a heretic into a patriarch. And now gangs of churchmen are roaming the city. It all sounds strange, and it's not a good sign.
