— ...so, is that how it is? And who else among us is familiar with this story, if it's not a secret?

Klin is also aware.

- Zimbari-san... That's not a very nice insinuation. Are you trying to say that I'm a witch and I'm sending monsters to attack your home? Or is it just a stereotype – because I'm a foreigner, it means I attract all sorts of creepy creatures? You know, I was accused of this once before. But have you ever considered that, actually, *you* are the foreigner? And I somehow don't believe that today is your birthday. Where's the tinsel, the guests, and the cake? You must have gotten the day wrong.

-- That's how it is, -- the redhead nodded. -- You know, if you have any more questions, you can ask them. Of course, I'm not saying I'll definitely answer everything: these memories arose after absorbing the last stone, and they contain some personal moments.

-- And who knows? I could enlighten anyone, but you're all quiet for now: Kalina, Beata, and Guion. Oh, and Klin, too. I offered you this story first of all so that you would be happy about your origin; this information inspired me a lot at the time, and it's also useful as a historical reference.

all sorts of scoundrels immediately emerge, filled with fear and horror.

What happened with the stone, if it's not a secret? I don't think you would hide it and keep silent like a fish while the others were lying around.

And how long have you had a "direct line" with Her Majesty? Just a week ago, we didn't know where she was, and then you show up and, as if nothing happened, announce that the coronation will be soon.

Ah, yes... I'd like to know which Apostles we have left. This is important information. We need to know what to expect.

— Did Miss Cosmos summon us here for some higher purpose, or just like that? Perhaps, even though it's done in a voluntary-compulsory manner.

It's hard not to feel like a bearer of a certain legacy left by the first alien protector, Anush.

-- There isn't a direct line; our encounters are practically random each time. Or rather, random from my side, while from the Suzerain's side, it might be intentional. I delivered the Aconian stone to Kline's house, and the new information came from the villa.

-- I wish I could. As you correctly guessed, one belongs to Monogat, but I don't know what curse it symbolizes or what part of the body it represents, but it's clear that there will be synergy with the other abilities. The other one simply doesn't interest us; the Suzerain has already found a way to deal with it.

-- Although this mission is important, the main thing for me in this story was something else. Namely, the fact that we are not uninvited guests: Miss Cosmos is, by birth, a singularity created by Anuzish herself; she is not like other celestial beings who open portals to this world because they want to. No, the celestials are like a materialized will of the planet itself, which means that all this time, the legality of our existence was misunderstood and essentially underestimated. Of course, the will of the planet is not constant and can sometimes be expressed in a contradictory way, but personally, I am very pleased that someone here told me at one time, "come," and I came, and not that someone unknown threw me somewhere, no matter what their intentions were... Even if they were noble.

-- So, let's summarize the intermediate results: I answered... Three questions, including the initial topic of conversation. Will you tell me something equivalent, or should I ask? You didn't think you would leave here knowing something without telling me anything, did you? )

— Erephir, thank you for the detailed answer, but... — Alaria hesitated slightly, not wanting to hurt the Knight's feelings, — ...you just described exactly what I was talking about. Apparently, I didn't make myself clear about what I meant by the mission. But there are still a few differences between us and the previous aliens. First, there are no invasions by the celestial beings yet. Although we are, I believe, engaged in a task that pleases Anuzish. Second, our predecessors were probably "naturalized." At least, those of them who survived. But our fate is shrouded in mystery, because there is no sign of Arselia, who is capable of doing this.

— Interesting conditions, — the girl drawled, — I must admit, I would have liked to know about them in advance. But let's see what I can answer you with. What are you interested in?

-- Well, you've jumped right in. Let's get to the point. Tell me about the most interesting event in your life, excluding those I already know and those you wouldn't want to share for personal reasons.

-- Perhaps I didn't expect that. It seems that, according to your principles, you probably wouldn't be able to repeat such a feat now. But it's another proof that the human soul is subject to change, and besides, it all depends on taboos, right? Every taboo is a law, but not every law corresponds to the spirit of reason...

-- The problem with your answer," a thoughtful, direct gaze. "is that you're being evasive, bringing up a topic that's too sensitive for you, despite my order... And how am I supposed to ask you about it? Or is it so much a thing of the past that there are no more reflections or feelings left? Well, it doesn't matter, because from this moment on, I'll change the subject and ask you what principles, laws, and beliefs were at the core of your native religion.

-- My third question, I'll anticipate, will be this: did you know anything about the Stones of Aconia before joining Carneol? I'm almost certain that you did, and I won't even ask you for details, but I just want you to confirm it. After that, you can ask me a question.

- Sounds a bit disgusting. Like they have boils or a rash. ...Never mind. Zimbar-san, if you're so interested in my geta, did you manage to get a new pair in the end? Or did you forget about it after five minutes? I'm already packing my suitcase.
