Beata: no!
Guyon: for the Emperor! Death to the xenos!
New here? I'm Roha — want a quick tour?
- That's almost true for any job, if you approach it responsibly. My brother works as a warrior-guide and also says that clients sincerely thank him when he safely guides them from point A to point B or defeats some monster that attacked them.
And I've been working here for five years now.
- It’s allowed. For the Kami, it doesn’t matter what shape the donation box is, and they will actually be grateful that no hooligan will offend them with his actions and that he won’t have to be punished for his foolishness. And working out the external design in accordance with aesthetics is not a problem. Or even integrating the chest into this standard, cute box so that it doesn’t have to be put away in storage... Humu-humu, yes, perhaps this will be the best option.
- There’s no arguing with that... Since they have chosen the path of a warrior, they cannot avoid such things. As they say in Muneshige... Hmm... Rejoice if your blade has struck its target; be saddened if it has missed; despair if another blade has found you. They call this the “simple and therefore joyful path of the swordsman,” - the miko shrugged doubtfully. - I would argue about whether it is joyful, but one thing is certain: without leaving the house, children will not find either glory or relevant experience, even if they lift weights all their lives, or play golf, or just stay informed. I would probably like them to not be thrown straight from the boat into the middle of a mountain river, but I suppose that in war, you don’t get to choose the conditions... You know what we need to do to make this task a little easier? We need to make them responsible for the success of the enterprise and the return of everyone alive and well. And besides, I will distribute our talismans. I need to check how many I have in total; if there aren’t enough, I’ll finish making more. We will need quite a few...
- Oh, excellent. Don't you want to go back to the army? To my combat unit. You'll defend the Motherland. You'll fulfill your manly duty. You might even become famous!
Unfortunately for Erephir, the woman, a 10/10, had just finished a conversation and was heading towards the exit, greeting her with a silent nod.
- Ah, Erephir, - Quentin finally turned his attention to the student, - good day.
"How do you know how many points I would give her, narrative? Are you following me? )"
Guyon: home... the Emperor... the Emperor, yes! Cadia stands!
Beata: nooo!
Guyon: for the Emperor! Death to the xenos!
- Oh, excellent. Don't you want to go back to the army? To my combat unit. You'll defend the motherland. You'll fulfill your manly duty. You might even become famous!
- That's how it is... And I mostly had a positive opinion of him. I think he could have been a good sailor and ship captain, like his ancient ancestor. It will be sad if it turns out that he also perished after the recent incident.
- Alright, tell me when you've made up your mind, and I'll do everything, - off-screen, - so that no scoundrel can harm the good will of the parishioners. I told you that you look very cute when you're thinking about something, didn't I? If not, I'm telling you now.
- Did you know many people from the Muneshige faction? They seem like they would be easy to get along with. - The Lord turned his gaze to the hanged em. - Is it okay if it repeats? Because my previous one had roughly the same meaning.
The final result shows: one yellow, two gray, three purple, and a dozen green.
— And that's true, — Alaria nodded approvingly, — and I have similar experience with my brother, actually. I don't know if it's noticeable, but I can stand up for myself, — the Tanarian smiled, bending her right arm and tensing her muscle, demonstrating the results of her training to her interlocutor, — before I developed my culinary talents, I was doing something similar. Of course, I'm not a very good guide, so it was limited to protecting my clients from various bandits and monsters.
— And how is it? I suppose you've had a lot of work in the last couple of weeks.
Erephir, in turn, offered the woman a light knightly bow. Armed with a spear or not?
— Goodbye, lady! Hello, master!
— No, thank you, — he smiled. — I appreciate your offer, but I prefer the freedom of choice that a mercenary has. Greater flexibility in decisions and actions, I can help those who are rarely helped by professional warriors. If our army protects Welfern on a state level, then people like me work on a more personal level. And both are certainly important, but I prefer an individual approach.
"And mercenaries can also use dubious and unpopular methods that wouldn't work for soldiers, which is also valuable."
—A sailor?... Well, that's quite possible. I have no disappointment with the current world situation, that my life coincided with his reign. We should hope that he managed to survive.
—Hmm... I just realized that His Majesty is the father of Her Ladyship. No, no, don't think I've lost my mind because of the curse. It's just... I've been wandering around like a black cloud all week, thinking about this incident, but when I was in front of a person whose family was attacked even earlier than mine, I didn't even think about it, only about myself. Hmm, I still have a lot to learn in this world.
A woman, unarmed, disappeared from view on the other side of the entrance door.
- An interesting lady, - the craftsman commented after her, - and how are you doing, Erefir?
- Ha-ha... - The nurse shivered slightly as she observed the demonstration of forty-six units of strength. - That's very commendable. Preventing injuries is much better than treating them afterward.
- It's a pity, a pity... I'll have to punish you right here and now!!!... Ahahahaha, just kidding, buddy. Everyone has their reasons, and forcing someone who doesn't want to join the army... That's what bandits do, the ones who wouldn't set foot on the front lines themselves. You know the saying, right? The further a person is from the front lines, the more they advocate for war. It's the same here. Although there are exceptions, like true warriors, but you won't find them among politicians. If they were warriors, they wouldn't be sitting around doing nothing, would they? Alright, I won't keep you. Good luck with your mercenary activities.
