- Well, it depends on how you look at it, whether it's an advantage or not. For example, if some kind of monster is summoned and turns your entire country into ruins, what will you do then?

"It happens, yes 😆"

Author

- You'd think you never take off that armor, and the princess invites you to some important social event, and you show up in it...

-- My only dress, and I must say, it's quite beautiful, was broken by a club, so... Yes, I'll come 😔

Author

- Uh-huh, we'll see. - It's a pity that no art was added. - By the way, the fact that you're an alien doesn't mean you can't adhere to certain beliefs... After all, they are expressed primarily internally, not externally. So, if you ever decide, maybe even after this Sunday, I would be happy to see you in our ranks.

-- This is roughly how I recruit people in Carnelian )
-- Seriously, I do have beliefs, but religious beliefs are a complicated thing, because they don't allow for believing in something incompletely. Either you agree with everything 100%, or you can't call yourself a follower... That's the nuance. But I am seriously determined to listen to your wisdom and learn as much as possible from it, because I don't do anything that I'm not interested in, or not very interested in. Your skills alone show that you understand certain principles of how the world works. Obviously. And then we'll see )

"Have I bored her with all this talk? )"

Whew, finally. I haven't changed my nickname in a year and a half, and I was starting to worry that something might have happened.

- Miko-sama!!
Deeply moved by the new dose of wisdom from the priestess, the elders, who still haven't fully grasped the etiquette of their new religion, knelt before her and clasped their hands together.
- Thank you, Miko-sama! - Lothr Lost repeated. - I will definitely heed the generous wisdom of your words! I never would have thought that even an old man like me could have his path to improvement opened!

Author

- Let's go to the haiden; there's a special place for that. Just take off your shoes before entering, - he gestures in the direction to go, and before going with him, he bows to the dark elves. - Gentlemen, please excuse me for a while.

- I understand.
The young man does as instructed - he takes off his "swordsman boots" and goes where he needs to.

Happy Life

"It's never too late to act wisely, oh-sama," Miko-sama says again, placing her hands on the shoulders of the "old men" and gently squeezing them. "Moreover, the Kami will always appreciate good deeds, especially when it seems that they may not have any meaning or significance, because this symbolizes that a person is making a conscious effort to become better and make the world around them better and more harmonious," she adds with a heartfelt smile, appreciating their good intentions. "But you should still get up; you might catch a cold. Decent people, even the Kami themselves, can simply bow to each other – like this," she bows to the old men. "After all, the meaning of harmonious coexistence with the world and those around us lies primarily in the principle of mutual respect, not humility. In our spiritual understanding, we are all human beings, united before the face of nature and the elements of Anuzish. And if anyone ever tells you that they personally deserve worship, it's best to question that claim." Leaving the men with this thought, she goes to listen to the problem of the shoemaker-swordsman.

- Alright, in that case, you need to go to the 69th residential district; there's a hospital there. Tell them you're from SRI.

"For some reason, I thought I'd be assigned to a camp for the needy. Although, in general, this assignment makes sense too – there were a lot of wounded people back then, and they also needed to be fed well. It's a little funny, actually, that if Gion decides to take on a part-time job as a medic, or decides to dedicate some volunteer hours starting next week, we'll be colleagues in a double sense," Alaria didn't continue her thought with reflections on how Gion, who became a guard or responded to Neik's advertisement, could also end up being one of the patients.

Thanking the receptionist again, the Tanarrian headed to the indicated address. Along the way, it was hard not to think about how, once again, difficult times had come for the empire that had taken her in. And again, she headed to the government headquarters as a volunteer to help. Although, of course, these similarities are superficial. She lived in Reim for longer, and the differences between it and Welfern were obvious. The tasks for her, as a volunteer back then, were much more dangerous than the current ones, and she received substantial monetary compensation for them. Here, there was no compensation, but Alaria didn't need it. It would undermine the very essence of the act. The fact of doing a good deed was enough now. However, it was easy to reason in this way from her position of relative comfort. The former inquisitor was well aware of this.

It's a little unexpected that her skills are now useful in this way. Initially, she took up this craft for herself. To be able to cook something delicious for herself. To prove that she was more than just an "ordinary warrior" and capable of more than just unskilled labor. To have a place in the bright Reim of the future, when its dark period in history comes to an end. And upon returning to Margel, she was very surprised to find that cooking services were not really in demand. And now, everything has suddenly turned upside down, and there is now a need for her skills.

The woman's face grew somber, and she couldn't find the words to comment on what she had heard.
- ... I'm sorry, Klin.

—But why?... It's not easy to accept, but the bitter truth is that generations eventually pass away, and all that remains after them is memory. Whether good or bad, in the pages of imperial chronicles or dynastic engravings, in the words of a storyteller or deep within your soul, as long as the memory lives on, so does your legacy. To accept, preserve, pass on, and enhance it is a small way we can show respect to our ancestors.

Beata and Guion leisurely rummaged through the contents of their backpacks, selecting items for donations. After giving everything they deemed necessary, and casually and unobtrusively waiting for Alaria to move away, they looked at the list of available activities again, supposedly studying it more carefully, so that their discovery would seem organic and natural. - Guion, look. Is there an option to undergo an exile ritual for aliens? - Indeed. Isn't the Patriarch in charge of that? He was here... - I heard he was almost killed... Excuse me, - Beata addressed the receptionist, - who is currently dealing with the otherworldly beings? We heard that the Patriarch used to do it, but he was apparently injured by some terrorist... Is he doing better now? - Yes... The Patriarch is a respected man, and we are a little worried about him, - Guion said with a disarming smile. - But what if unfriendly aliens show up and don't want to be exiled...?

-- Seriously, I do have convictions, but religious beliefs are a tricky thing, because they don't allow for believing in something only partially. You either agree with everything 100%, or you can't call yourself a follower... That's the nuance.

- Well, you shouldn't do that, you might accidentally embarrass your suzerain... Yes, we'll see. If you don't agree with everything 100%, that's often how heresies arise.

Morning

- It's never too late to act wisely, odj-sama, - miko-sama gently places her hands on the shoulders of the "elders" and lightly squeezes them. - Moreover, the Kami always appreciate good efforts, especially when it seems that it may not make sense or have any significance, because it symbolizes that a person is making a conscious effort to become better and make the world around them better and more harmonious, - she adds with a heartfelt smile, appreciating their good intentions. - But you should still get up, don't catch a cold. Decent people, even the Kami themselves, are satisfied with a simple bow to each other - like this, - she bows to the elders. - After all, the meaning of harmonious coexistence with the world and those around us lies primarily in mutual respect, and not in humility. We are all, in our spiritual understanding, human beings, united before the face of nature and the elements of Anush. And if someone ever tells you that they personally deserve worship, it's best to put that claim through a sieve of doubt.

Thanking the priestess for another lesson, the elders rose from their knees and bowed. Physically strong Adalard did this without much difficulty, but Lotr needed the help of the other two men.

Leaving this thought for the men to ponder, she goes to listen to the problem of the shoemaker-swordsman.

- I probably could have gone to church with this, but there are often acquaintances there, so I decided to use an alternative. Where should I start...? In general, I'm an artist. I paint on canvas and just make sketches in a notebook when I'm in the mood. In other words, I've always enjoyed doing this since childhood, but recently an unexpected moral question arose.

- ...

- ... In my life, a muse appeared - my wonderful sword and martial arts instructor, and in recent months, most of my work has been dedicated to her. At first, these were ordinary drawings and even a full-fledged painting, but over time, my works began to take on an erotic character, and I even started... Um... In general, using them to, let's say, help myself with masturbation.

- ...

- That's it.

-- That's quite a jab... Perhaps if I were better at working with fabrics myself, there wouldn't be a problem, it's always more pleasant to use your own skills! But as it is, it's not easy to find something within my budget that I wouldn't be ashamed to wear in front of my Liege.

-- Alright, Kalin. It was nice talking to you, so until Sunday? Will we make it? )

“I see. I’ll request that you be removed from the mission, just in case,” Myco thought.

- Maybe we will, maybe we won't - the chance of that is always 50/50. Don't you want to go to the Academy with me, by the way?
