- N-no, I didn't touch anything without your permission," Minako quickly explained, "so don't think anything of it.
- I know, Minako-chan. I meant, maybe you've already explored the area. But anyway, never mind, it doesn't matter now," Sonata said with a smile. "I asked Minako-chan to fill in for me while we're away, and even with her studies, she agreed because she has a heart of gold. Here, let me show you what it's all about.

- It's like being back in Nihon," Sonata replied to the priestess's question, "very authentic. Well, shall we go? A tour sounds like a wonderful way to get to know this place better. By the way, Ayano, did you get to meet some of my students today? What do you think of them?
- Should I tell you the truth or sugarcoat it?... As you can see, the area is quite spacious, although not excessively so – I was very lucky to find such a grove. You'll be surprised, but during the construction of the shrine, not a single surrounding tree was damaged or cut down; this was a very important point. I was a little skeptical of the builders – even setting aside the factor of stupidity or unprofessionalism, human error is possible, and I checked the area every day, but they did a flawless job. Well done, everyone," she announced, leading them to the washing basin. "Chōzuya! Every visitor must draw water from it and rinse their hands and mouth. Here are the ladles," she demonstrates how to do it. "Artesian water flows directly from the well, so there's no need to carry it; the only thing required is to wash the ladles. In most shrines, this is done in the morning before opening, but personally, I proceed based on the situation – for example, if people are visiting more often today or it's a particular season like late autumn, I do it several times. In general, "a person must" use the chōzuya not in the sense that they should be chased away with a broom if they don't, but simply because otherwise, their further communication with the Kami-sama will almost certainly be fruitless. So, in my – and yours, Minako-chan – hands lies the opportunity to guide visitors on the right path, but if they don't want to, there's no point in forcing it.
My sword, my trusted ally, unphased by my aspect.

- Oh, excellent! I have an idea for a small circus performance! I used to work in a circus and have some experience, so I think something like that would be appropriate! For now, we're planning an acrobatics act - she pointed at herself - and a fire show, but we need a stage area, equipment, and possibly other performers, such as a magician or an animal trainer... I'm willing to take care of it, but we can't handle it on our own - she nodded at Gion -! 😅
- A stage, equipment, other performers... It's unlikely we can prepare everything in one day, but if you can find and prepare everything yourself, then you can consider that you now have permission to do so.

- Alaria Doran, nice to meet you. I represent the "Carnelian" organization, which is looking for an experienced scout for long-term cooperation. We need someone who can skillfully navigate the wilderness. For example, if the need arises, they can help with searching for a person.
- Cassiopeia Eresaf. I'm not interested in long-term cooperation, but you can feel free to contact me for one-time jobs.

The introductory part of the preacher's speech was very similar to Creon's reflections, with the only difference being that Kalina developed this thought a little further than her knightly compatriot. She proposed that, in addition to the ascetic lifestyle he had chosen, changes should also be made at a broader level of public consciousness. Klin decided that, if possible, he would definitely retell what he had heard today to his acquaintance.

And then, the mysterious ikigai practitioner used... his homeland for comparison? This was, without a doubt, a pleasant confirmation of the creedancer's recent thoughts. In time immemorial, long before the dragon emperor decided to paint the peaceful mountains of his ancestors in Velfern colors, the very concept of exchanging useless trinkets for equally useless labor was something absurdly alien to the inhabitants of his region. No living creature subject to the goddess-mother would engage in something unnatural to its nature in order to survive. Unless it was locked in an iron cage, where it was forced to dance to the tune of a circus performer for the amusement of the public. Something similar is what the city dwellers did in the eyes of his fellow countrymen. Including to gawk at this, he once set out on a journey to the capital. And then...? And then he himself became one of the cogs in the stillborn mechanism of civilization, lost his homeland, his family, and even his very soul.

The concept of eternal life, for obvious reasons, also deeply affected the black knight. More than once in recent months, he had heard "it's so good to defeat death" in relation to his condition. In reality, however, his curse had brought him nothing but spiritual burden. And it wasn't even about the fear of some conditional priest, who on the fly reloads a cleansing prayer. He lost the ability to enjoy life, could not feel the full depth of human emotions. He could not turn over a new page, surrendering to sleep: since June, all his existence had turned into one huge day. And even the warming tea poured in front of them now was closed to the knight. Perhaps only his comrade-samurai, who had passed away in Calcite, and the apostolic undead could understand his state: but the latter had probably lost the remnants of their will long ago.

But there was also a sad truth in Kalina's lecture. A truth that Creon had stated just a week ago. The creedancer looked happier, more harmonious, and more peaceful than Margel. But ultimately, in a world where people tear each other's throats out every hour, every day, every year; in this world, Margel lost only the central square. And the creedancer lost himself completely.
If the Ikigai wants to achieve true peace in human hearts, it is not enough to simply start with oneself. The whole world must become Ikigai. Or Creodean.

Looking around at the audience and Sanex sitting next to him, the knight assessed their reaction. Yes, for the capital's wealthy people, even such a modest final exhortation would probably seem like a terrible feat. He could already imagine how some merchant's family "spiritualizes with nature" by polluting the forest park area with a drunken picnic and a fire caused by a poorly extinguished bonfire. And for those who are not prone to the vices of civilization, all this is already clear. Despite this, he was left with a very positive impression of the preacher's words.

Whatever

- The set, equipment, other things, the performers... It's unlikely we'll be able to prepare everything in one day, but if you can find and prepare everything yourself, then you can consider that you now have permission to do so.
- Oh-ho-ho, yes, you're right... But what can you do! - Beata clapped her hands. - As they say, you have to eat the kraken in pieces! What do you think, where would be the best place to set up the stage? And who should we talk to about the props? We definitely won't be able to make any complex structures by tomorrow, but I think we can manage a couple of simple trapezoids or a table for the magician!
- By the way, about the magician, where are we going to find him? - Gion interjected. - We've been here for a while, and we haven't seen anyone like that. Only performers.
- Well... We can ask around? I just don't know who to ask. Or, or, or, we can invite a real magician who is good at doing all sorts of illusions!
- Okay, we'll figure it out as we go... For now, we need to figure out where we're going to do this.

- I know, Minako-chan. I meant – maybe you’ve already been around the area. But anyway, never mind, it doesn’t matter now,” Sonata said with a smile. “I asked Minako-chan to fill in for me while we’re away, and even with her studies, she agreed because she has a heart of gold. Here, let me show you what it’s all about.
- Oh, you’re too kind,” blushed the red-faced Minako-chan, “it’s nothing special, just an ordinary heart.”
- Does that mean Minako-chan will become Miko-san?
Author
- Should I tell you the truth or embellish it?
- Hmm? – Sonata didn’t understand. – You know, when I asked Hein why he was late for training, he told me he was on a date with you, so he was delayed. What a joker, right?
Author
As you can see, the area is quite spacious, although not excessively so – I was very lucky to find such a Grove.
- How did you manage to use this land for these purposes? – the student asked. – As far as I know, it belongs to the state… or the imperial family? I’ve forgotten exactly who it belongs to; sometimes these concepts get mixed up in my head, and it becomes difficult to differentiate them.

You’ll be surprised, but during the construction of the Shrine, no surrounding trees were damaged or cut down; this was a very important point. I was a little skeptical of the builders – even excluding the factor of stupidity or unprofessionalism, human errors are possible, and I checked the area every day, but they did an impeccable job. Well done.
Sonata was very impressed by this fact.
- Is this a common tradition in Nihon when building Temples? I never knew that before. It seems that even at my advanced age, I can continue to learn new things.
- Advanced age? – Minako laughed. – You’re being too hard on yourself…
Author
- leading to the washbasin, she proclaims. - Chozuya! Every visitor must scoop water from it and rinse their hands and mouth. Here are the ladles,” she shows how it’s done.
The women repeat after her.
Author
So, in my – and your, Minako-chan – hands is the opportunity to guide visitors on the right path, but if they don’t want it themselves, there’s no point in forcing it.
- I understand! – Minako wrote down all the information in her notebook. – I’ll do everything exactly according to the instructions!

- Cassiopeia Eresaf. I'm not interested in long-term collaboration, but you can feel free to contact me for one-off jobs.
"Well, such contacts are also important. And it's unlikely that we will need the services of a tracker very often. As far as I understand, no one has ever gotten lost in the wilderness of Carneol."
- "We'll keep that in mind," the Tanarian smiled, "thank you for your time. I won't bother you any further."

The "interview" went faster and easier than Alaria had expected. She could inform Erefir about the partial success once she finished her morning tasks. In the meantime, she decided to check the job boards in the workers' and adventurers' guilds again, even though the chances of finding new postings were slim.

During Kalina Mellis's speech, several people left the audience, making a show of rolling their eyes and shrugging, but most of those gathered listened with great attention, and some even with enthusiasm.
- A world without magic, technology, and the hustle and bustle of modern civilization... - Klin's companion commented quietly, so that only he could hear. - It doesn't sound so bad.

During Kalina Mellis's speech, several people left, making sure to roll their eyes and shrug their shoulders conspicuously, but the majority of those present listened attentively, and some even with enthusiasm.
Not bad. Fyr didn't show any indignation towards those who left; the opposing viewpoints were just as natural in such situations. Now, after the initial screening, is Kalina going to do anything else, or has she completed her plans for today? Oh, have people started rushing to hand over technologies for dismantling yet? )

—You would like it in Kriedar. —the knight replied in the same tone. —I certainly didn't expect to hear such an accurate and pleasing comparison from the locals after all these events. We never really needed to follow strict rules for this: it all originated and existed harmoniously on its own, as the goddess-mother had ordained. If my fellow countryman were told that he corresponded to some special doctrine, he would at best also raise an eyebrow.
