It was clear that Erefir was once again proud of his summoner at that moment, although this information was not helping them in any way right now.
"He's smiling so broadly, as if he knows something. At least it means that everything is still okay with Naria. But there's no way to let her know about what happened. Unless she finds out somehow, in a special way. She clearly has the means to do so," – thinking about this, Alaria involuntarily glanced at the sky, as if expecting to see the first princess's familiars circling there – "in fact, they would be very useful right now. I guess it's just another reason to regret that I'm not a Sorceress, haha? So, I'll have to rely on my own ingenuity, rather than mystical help from "above." From a philosophical point of view, it's even right in a way. Otherwise, we'll never be able to overcome ourselves if the right solution just falls into our hands."

And the book about the royal family probably gives an ability-locator for beautiful women, just for such an occasion, but no one bothered to read it...
I could, but I decided that it would be too strange in terms of role-playing to read it before you. But I can, if I have a free minute. But that will be after the quest.Author
because when Naria finds out who gave the tip about her villa...
She will simply leave him as a walking dead man, as a punishment.
- For this, it would be better for you to come early on Sunday; the mentor explains things better than I do... But in short, we work in two directions: individual and communal. We help our brothers and sisters find peace of mind through spiritual practices and by instilling a proper lifestyle and mindset. At a larger scale, we try to fight against phenomena in modern society that are unnatural to human nature. Well, for example, I think you'll agree that nature didn't intend for humans to work eight hours a day? This is a construct of so-called progressive civilization, where a person performs tasks that are not relevant to the challenges facing them or their environment, but simply trades hours for money. Or, let's say, how does the idea of immortality achieved through magic or technology sound to you? Many would consider this wonderful, but it is not... This would lead to the fact that karma would never reach tyrants and other scoundrels, and ordinary people would be forced to work in mines for eternity without any possibility of returning their souls to the cycle of rebirth...
—Yes, you made a good point about immortality, agreed the knight. —As for the rest, it sounds somewhat similar to the lifestyle of my homeland, although we have never had any strict rules for it. So, on Sunday? Thank you, we'll keep that in mind.
If Sanex had no other questions, they bid farewell to the Ikigai and head towards the edge of the embankment. —So, what do you think?
- SRI: it's not a given that they have hunters, but do they have guard dogs? Has she ever seen any? It seems logical that they would have them for just such a case (maybe one in Carneol).
SRI itself is not a military organization and specializes primarily in protecting workers' rights. Author
- Margel Police: the same question, although I don't really want to deal with the guards, given their past failures, but we need to consider it. Or is there reason to believe that they are not very good at tracking, only patrolling?
Finding criminals is quite within the competence of the guard. Author
- Hunters' Guild: is this a guild? Can a guild consist of only one miserable Pheasant? But in those three months when Erefir wandered around the city, slowly getting to know the people, was anyone there, or not?
We need to go and find out. Author
- Chronos: if a UAV from there can conduct reconnaissance, does that mean they can also find a runaway person? In theory, that should be its main use...
With such SP and the lack of a camera transmitting real-time images, it won't be very useful. Author
- Workers' and Adventurers' Guilds: at first glance, it's a very good idea from Alaria, but do they keep records of members, can they suggest the necessary skills?
We'll have to put up an ad and wait... Or hope that the quest giver knows/can remember the right people. Author
- AMM: it seems that they don't teach search magic there, but that doesn't mean that no one there knows it, right?
To know what's going on in AMM, you need to hang out in AMM... Author
- Does Martin from Pam-Param happen to have any hunting abilities? He is a Kumarian veteran.
We should ask him, not the universe. Author
What about our great detective, Dionysus? If he finds out which woman was kidnapped, he would gladly rush to help in tracking down the criminal... If his skills are at all related to that, most likely not.

- Where could Kilika have gone, where does she usually go? It seems that after so much time, it should already be possible to understand her. She has mastered Serenity, so she couldn't have gone to Yanshi... She doesn't have money for restaurants and shops. Does she like to just wander around? Does she have any friends, for example, that girl from Vishenka?
No one spent much time with Kilika in Carneol and asked her questions, so where she could have gone can only be guessed, but going to the city was not rare for her. Author
- There may also be mages among the servants. And medics. More precisely, there are definitely mages, summoners, but we need combat mages... We need to ask Sir... Will he introduce himself, this Sir? And it seems that the servants are supposed to protect the villa, but there is nothing left to protect here, if you look at the devastation, so it would be worth taking a couple of them so that they can fulfill their duty honestly and completely. But we'll tell them that ourselves, if it comes to that.
- My name is Zhao Babao, said the servant, and the villa is not as bad as you say... Mainly, the reception hall and the front room were damaged... Unfortunately, we do not possess any search magic.

If Sanex has no other questions, they say goodbye to the Iki-Gai and head to the edge of the promenade. -So, what do you think?
- I think this Iki-Gai isn't that bad. Maybe we should stop by on Sunday to listen?
>Betrayed Naera.
>Tried to give the sword to a suspicious celestial being.
>Is going to Iki-Gai.
>Went completely off the rails after losing Kridear...
His hairstyle, manners, and abilities are reminiscent of the True Emperor. It's a pity he missed and didn't choose the right sister; the perfect couple for this world wouldn't have come together...
If he had pursued the older sister instead of the middle one, he wouldn't have been able to defeat her, so it wasn't meant to be anyway.
With such low Spell Power and the absence of a camera transmitting real-time images, it won't be very useful.

UAV Unmanned Aerial Vehicle. Can be used for reconnaissance or dropping bombs. Controlled remotely using special wrist-mounted "watches." Health: 100 Evasion: 30% Capacity: 5 Spell Power: 8 Can drop 1 bomb per turn while moving. Flies. Slot: accessory. 3000 repair.
It can be used, but it won't be of much use. It's a pity no one managed to buy it; otherwise, they could have demanded compensation from Kwant...

Based on his hairstyle, manners, and abilities, he resembles the True Emperor.

If he had targeted the older sister instead of the younger one first, he wouldn't have been able to defeat her.
the celestial being had two compelling arguments to give away her sword...

- I think this Ikigai place doesn't sound too bad. Maybe we should check it out on Sunday and listen to it?
—I would go myself, to compare it with the beliefs of my homeland, if it weren't for... Well, you understand. People of faith fighting against immortality sounds like it wouldn't be the best reception for me. But if you want, we can go, and I'll wait for you outside...
With such a low SP and the absence of a camera transmitting a real-time image, it won't be very useful.
"What does the camera do, and at what time?...... It seems that Miss Cosmos gave me an idea for something in the future, but I need to process it, but unfortunately, I don't have time for that right now; I need to internalize the rest."Author

Searching for criminals is perfectly within the competence of the guard.
Well, yes, no matter how you look at it, it turned out that Draco Mellis relied on the military power of the guards, and he will most likely end up doing that. Of course, considering how long the guards searched for the priest, they might not have found him at all...
Ugh, the priest. And how could I have forgotten about that? The situation is terribly similar to the previous attack; again, Tai Manin said that the attacker was looking for Nariu, but found someone else. That is, it looks very much like a continuation of attempts to decapitate the leadership of the Empire. Of course, it couldn't be said for sure, but they easily could have been in cahoots. I definitely need to discuss this with Mellis. So, here's the plan.
-- I'm looking to meet with the governor, and if I can't find him, with the head of the guard. In the adventurers' and workers' guilds, Alaria, can you ask if they know the addresses of anyone? In the meantime, report back to me.
-- To the hunters' guild... Beata?
-- I'm also thinking that there might be someone suitable at the magic academy. In fact, it might seem like overkill, but on the other hand, we definitely won't be worse off with a mage.Author
- My name is Zhao Babao," the servant said, "and the villa is not as bad as you say... Mainly, the reception hall and the ceremonial room were damaged... Unfortunately, we do not have any search magic.
-- Very nice to meet you, Sir Babao," I said with a bow. "Yes, I just thought, looking at what I see right now, but... Well, it doesn't matter. In fact, we might need more than just search magic. Please don't misunderstand me; I have never asked you or anyone else at the villa for combat assistance; that would be unprofessional. However, the last thing I want is to underestimate the enemy now and lose again, finally losing Milady. Besides, I believe that you and your colleagues now share my feelings more than fully.
-- On the other hand, the enemy has already shown more or less what he is capable of, and he cannot be defeated by numbers alone. Therefore... I ask you now to tell me about combat mages. I am aware that there are many mages at the villa, and I am indebted to some of them... But are there any among them who have combat experience and could assist with fire arrows, flight, earthquakes, and other useful things against the nimble enemy? Considering that you didn't manage to cope, maybe there aren't any, but I must ask, please excuse me.
-- It is also true that... If there were any, maybe we wouldn't have to go after him now, but what if the enemy is somehow trained to fight against magic? If that is the case, I would like to clarify this detail with the witnesses.
-- All of this, of course, is on the condition that we successfully organize the search and really need combat assistance, but," I said with a bow to the servants. "I understand you, your feelings, your duties to protect this place, and yet, under the circumstances, I humbly ask you to think about my request. Life can be cruel, and we don't always manage to protect even what is most precious, but... I believe that we should not stop trying as long as there is hope. Therefore, I very much ask you to just think about it. Maybe the situation will develop in such a way that it will not be necessary, maybe you cannot help, but if you can and if the opportunity arises, I very much ask you to keep this plan in mind.
– I need to meet with the governor, and if I can’t find him, with the head of the guard. In the adventurers’ and hunters’ guilds, Alaria, can you ask if they know the addresses of anyone? Report back to me in the meantime.
– What should I tell them if the guild masters ask me about the reasons for these searches? I’m not sure it would be wise to say that an unknown person broke into a villa and kidnapped one of the princesses.
