- Well, murder and robbery are also prohibited, and yet they still happen, but that's not a reason to legalize them. The same goes for prostitution – the mere fact that it's prohibited has deterred many workers and their clients from this profession, and it's not just a threat to public health, but also to its morality. I know several people who were supposedly former sex workers, and each of them leads a bleak and aimless life – they're over thirty, have no aspirations, abuse alcohol, eat whenever and whatever they can, their circadian rhythms are disrupted, they have no husband, most of them have no children, and the one who does have a son who is practically a street urchin. In general, this profession has taken a toll on them, but they didn't go into it because of a difficult life, but simply because at that time, such activities were considered slightly more acceptable than they are now.

- Hello. This... What is this? - she looks around at all the infrastructure. - To be honest, I saw an unusual name for it on the minimap.
- This is my new place; I bought it recently. I'm going to hold all sorts of events here, and "Miss Margel" will be the first. I think I'll hold it at the end of the month... You'll sign up, won't you? Please.
Yeah... Automation is automation, but the hours were consumed as expected, and even more, oh well. So, then there was still a conversation to be had with the Carneolians: Fyr heads straight to headquarters and sits on a couch in the hall. If anyone passes by, she waves them over to the other couches.
When Fyr arrived at headquarters, Biba and Boba were already lounging on the couch in the hall.

-- Is Blade here now, or has he already gone home? While we wait for the others, what do you two want to say? -- says the redhead, updating her to-do list with a new item and checking off a task.
- Ah, your contest. I remember you wanted to organize it in the fall. November 30th is still technically considered part of it, so everything is probably fine... - she skeptically examines the flyer. - You know what I think? If, for example, Chime Denka or the director sign up, it might be quite unfair to the other participants. Or, let's just say, "dishonest." Hmm... "Hopeless"? Anyway, you get the idea. And besides, I'm leaving in a few days and I don't know when I'll be back yet. If everything goes well, I'll definitely be here until the end of November, but... that's assuming there are no complications. And if they do arise, it wouldn't be very fair of me to sign up in advance and then "let you down," would it? Because all of this would definitely need to be planned in advance.

I know several supposedly former "night butterflies," and each of them leads a bleak and aimless life - in their thirties and beyond, they have no aspirations, they abuse alcohol, they eat whenever and whatever they can, their circadian rhythms are disrupted, they have no husband, most of them have no children, and the one who does has a son who is practically an orphan. In general, this profession has taken a toll on them, but they didn't go into it because of a difficult life, but simply because at that time, such activity was considered slightly more acceptable than it is now.
"Well... morality is relative. Some people find even these outfits immoral. And greetings without a dozen bows are also considered immoral. And the comparison is, of course, interesting. Butterflies steal, perhaps, someone's virginity with such actions." — Even so," the Tanarian's eyes widened, "yes, your experience is different from mine. Although it's probably not that surprising. In general, I can imagine," she nods thoughtfully, "something similar is sometimes found among soldiers, despite the obvious difference in their activities. They are always on the road. They have relied only on their weapon skills their whole lives. They have no long-term plans. And then they get injured somewhere. They can no longer continue their activities. They never started a family with that kind of lifestyle. So they turn to the bottle and live out their days. You've probably seen such people yourself." After a moment of thought, Alaria remembered a question she had wanted to ask her interlocutor earlier, but it had somehow slipped her mind during the general discussion. — Hmm, perhaps a little off-topic, but where are you from, by the way? I'm a little curious, after your comment yesterday about the juice.
- Ah, your contest. I remember you wanted to organize it in the fall.

- I would be very flattered if they participated in this contest, but I think the chances of that are extremely small... And don't worry about "letting me down," if you suddenly can't return in time (but it's better if you do), it's not a big deal, just sign up! And by the way, how have you been lately? I see you're looking great...
-- Isn't Blade around right now, or has he already gone home? While the others are catching up, what do you two want to say? -- said the redhead, updating her to-do list with a new item and checking off a task.
- We haven't seen him; we just got back ourselves, - Beata shrugged. - But there's good news about Guiyoshi, - she nudged him in the thigh with her heel. - Yes! - he smiled, showing all 32 of his teeth. - We now have a full-fledged healer on our team!!! - Guiyoshi is great; I've always said so, - Beata puffed up as if she had personally taught him medicine. - And I've gained some confidence after today. I think I'm pretty good at encouraging people and instilling enthusiasm in them. - Uh-huh, uh-huh. I've always known that; I've experienced it firsthand. Guiyon became more serious. - But there's one nuance to my new profession... By accepting it, I swore to value human life and not harm people. And I intend to adhere to these principles, out of respect for the work of doctors. This doesn't mean I've forgotten how to wield a weapon, but I will still prefer to avoid situations where I have to take a life or inflict serious injuries. Of course, an order is an order, but... I would be grateful if I had the opportunity to act according to my beliefs. - We've already talked about this. I suggested making some kind of gloves so that he could control the force of his blows, and the opponents he strikes down wouldn't die or get injured, but would only be knocked out of the battle. I don't see the point in applying such an effect to the weapon because it's purely Guiyoshi's thing, but I think we should respect his wishes and aspirations. - Yes... I don't really know how difficult it would be for you to make something like that, but I think it's a worthwhile idea.

- We haven't seen him; we just got back ourselves, - Beata shrugged. - But Guio has some good news, - she nudged him in the thigh with her heel. - Yes! - he smiled, showing all 32 of his teeth. - We now have a full-fledged doctor on our team!!! - Guio is great; I've always said so, - Beata puffed up as if she had personally taught him medicine. - And I've gained some confidence after today. I think I'm pretty good at encouraging people and inspiring them. - Uh-huh, uh-huh. I've always known that; I've experienced it myself.
-- So, you've already learned?! And where did you find those nine near-corpses? And you, Beata, are surprising me. Is it because you learned how to serve customers in Lepota, throwing smiles at them?Author

The redhead stood up from the sofa, and since she still had a smile on her face, the Carneol rascals probably didn't have time to dodge when they were both grabbed by the cheeks.
-- What kind of nonsense is this, tell me? Sir Creep didn't even impose such conditions on me; you're just getting worked up again... And Kalina never told me anything like that; she's a doctor herself, but she was ready to kill dragons alongside everyone else. Or do dragons not count? Oh, right, they even have citizenship; if they go to the hospital to get their teeth treated, they'll be served for free, by the way, but I won't. I don't believe you. Now, repeat the oath so I can be sure
Yeah... Automation is automation, but the hours were still spent as planned, and even more, sigh. So, then there was still a conversation to be had with the Carnelians: Phyr goes straight to headquarters and sits on a couch in the hall. If anyone passes by, he waves them over to the other couches.
Klin returned home late in the evening, but in theory, he could have crossed paths with Erephir at headquarters.
-- Have you already learned it?! And where did you find those other nine near-corpses?
- I just talked too much at work and ended up having to take an exam 😅Ment
And you, Bea, are surprising me too. Is it because you learned how to serve customers at the Beauty Salon, charming them with your smiles?
- Haha, maybe! I hadn't even thought of that! - I think it's just innate 😚Ment

She's a doctor herself, but she was ready to fight dragons alongside everyone else. Or do dragons not count? Oh, right, they even have citizenship. If they go to the hospital to get their teeth fixed, they'll be treated for free, by the way, but I won't. I don't believe you. Now, repeat the oath, so I can be sure.
Guyon groaned and rolled his eyes, then deliberately recited in a strained voice:
- "I swear to respect the work of my teachers and predecessors and to selflessly share this knowledge with all those who are interested; I will put the health of the patient above all else and will certainly help those who need it; I will respect life and will never intentionally cause harm; I will not participate in the euthanasia of patients or in artificial abortions; I pledge to maintain medical confidentiality and never stop improving myself."
After a pause, to give Erefir time to process what he had said, he continued: - Yes, nothing prevents me from just giving up, and it might even get me off the hook if no one but us finds out. However, if I just give up, what will I be worth, and what will my words be worth? How will I look Bresia and the other doctors in the eye? She taught me, invested her time and energy in me, and I'm supposed to just break all the principles that our medicine is based on? I can't do that. If Kalina can do it, that's on her conscience; I don't judge her. But Kalina could also jump off the roof, and you wouldn't expect me to jump after her, would you? I intend to fight monsters, animals, undead, or apostles with all my might, but in a fight with ordinary people, I would prefer to keep my word and avoid unnecessary casualties. - And I think Guyosh will fix you up for free if anything happens, - Bea added her two cents. - Yes. I think I'll reread the textbook, by the way, when I have time. Maybe I'll learn how to provide first aid so that it doesn't leave lifelong trauma... I know from experience how awful that is.
