- It's okay, he's to blame himself. It's his choice that his style looks so unfriendly, and therefore he is also responsible for it, - she reassured the girl. - But he's not the type to leave because of such awkwardness. Most likely, he decided not to interfere, or maybe he suddenly remembered something. And in general... He's warmer than he seems at first glance. By the way, he's my first parishioner! Hmm... Even though he has special reasons for this, it's still good for his soul. In fact, there was one thing planned for today with his participation... A small modification, so to speak. Let me take a look, it will take a couple of seconds, - she went back to look at the box again.

To peer inside the dark box, Ayano had to strain her eyes, but thanks to these efforts, it became clear that the chest was already inside. At the very top were several sections with steel ribs, and below was a funnel with a hole at the bottom the size of one Rem. This design allowed coins to fall freely into the box, but it was impossible to get them out from the outside.

- Was he your first?.. Oh, now I feel even more embarrassed. Uh! When he comes next time, I promise I will definitely greet him with a smile on my face and not be afraid to talk to him!

- Heh-heh-heh... - Beata sighed thoughtfully. - Okay, I have some ideas about the people. But where will we find the equipment and materials? We need wood, metal for the fence, the tent itself, various hammers, shovels, and a lot of furniture... And I completely forgot about the musicians, okay, they will probably have their own instruments... Oh, and costumes! Can you suggest where to get equipment and materials for the improvement?

- I haven't seen you come here before, - Alaria decided to distract her interlocutor from gloomy thoughts, - if it's not a secret, how do you usually spend your weekends?

Looking at the sun, Sonata, and Minako, and looking around the courtyard and buildings again, she tries to figure out if it makes sense to explain anything else.
- I think that tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, in the morning, before leaving, I will give you the keys and the kimono. It seems that we have discussed everything that will be needed. And where do you live? Or do you have a separate building for this at the school?

- It's up to the observer... Uh, and she's not hiding. She sneaks up and says something like, "You smell of magic and technology!..."

Coming to his senses, he whispers to Kalina:
-- What do you think? Probably not what you expected, and I don't know how to use it in missionary work, but is the idea original? Whatever your answer, there's probably something to say to the artist to appreciate his efforts.

- Well, I think that's exactly what the abbess was trying to say in her sermon, that is... Back home, people solved specific problems they faced, but in Margel, sometimes they just work for the sake of working, even though most of the benefits don't go to them, their family, or even their community, but to the employer, sometimes even an impersonal one. Well, at least that's how I understood it.

- This... is a rather unusual assignment. But I don't mind, so let's go. I hope my presence won't be considered inappropriate there.

- I think it's wonderful. Every one of us should have a person or entity who will guide us on the right path if we happen to stray. In my opinion, this image suits the Founder very well. Excellent work, Eogan.
- Uh, thank you. Glad you liked it...

- I doubt I would have a steady job now, especially within the ranks of the Guard, if I were a frequent visitor here. But now, it feels like my savings won't last much longer, so I might as well try to see how the wealthy live. What do I do? I read books, watch the cats at home, fill out my diary, lie on the couch... do you have any better ideas?

—I think you understood everything correctly. Although, one shouldn't idealize the way of life in my homeland, otherwise you won't notice how you end up in some kind of cult. Our alliance with the empire left its mark on peaceful life, and working for "unknown" figures was not uncommon. For example, in the past, a village healer only needed to take a walk through the mountain meadow in search of medicinal plants and offer a prayer to the mother goddess to relieve the patient's ailment and overcome the curse. But in recent years, some medicines for city dwellers have been made on the basis of Kridear herbs, the reagents of which can probably be found on the shelves of some "List" pharmacy. This is how we began to work not only for ourselves, but in exchange for iron coins, which were then handed over to the tax collection basket. One could say that such an activity is also harmful and unnatural in its nature, but I don't think so: if, thanks to our help, the hospitals of Margel acquired new, effective drugs, it was not in vain.

—The more listeners, the more valuable the story. —Klin encouraged his companion, walking forward. —Have you heard about the upcoming coronation? It's a pity, of course, that, given the circumstances, it is unlikely to be a real reason for joy, but... A simple person also needs to be distracted from all the November horrors, otherwise only psychologists will benefit.

—It seems that portraits are as easy for you as landscapes, it's interesting and exciting to look at it.

—In general, it is true to some extent. It is difficult to predict exactly what the near future holds for us, but there will definitely be trials. It may happen that there will be no time for such entertainment. Therefore, I agree that it is sometimes important to indulge yourself in such moments, rather than worrying about every penny. But it is also worth having some plans for the future, in my humble opinion. So that not only warm memories, but also they serve as an important motivation, allowing you to overcome difficulties. Strengthen your spirit and willpower.

—Alaria knew from her own experience that if you put things off, the moment can easily be missed, — my ideas about how to spend free time are not so different, hehe. I also actively keep a diary, especially when there are no other activities at hand. Sometimes I experiment a little with culinary recipes that I wouldn't dare to test on anyone else. I spend hours on treadmills or sword training. Sometimes I have philosophical and not-so-philosophical conversations with friends. Well, and books, of course. How can you do without them? Probably one of my main pastimes in recent months. But mostly on historical topics. Fiction somehow bypasses me, although I wouldn't mind it. And what kind of literature do you like? Maybe you have favorite authors or series?

- I am very glad and even more - grateful, - the permanent miko smiles in response. - I understand that asking for something like this so casually isn't quite right, but forgive me, such is the situation... I will definitely try to return as soon as possible, so... I hope in the end it won't be too much of a burden on you, - she gave an apologetically grateful bow. - So, that means I just need to make the announcement and edit the old one to a temporary one... And I can show you right away how to make an omamori, since you wanted to. It won't take long and it's not difficult... Relatively.

- How are you doing? Will you stay here a bit longer while we finish up in the background, or head home?

- Among my favorites... I enjoy reading about the travels of Thios Saral, for example. Hmm, do you have a boyfriend or husband?

- We'll send the materials to your address, but you'll have to find the tools and costumes yourselves. Check out "Melody," maybe you'll find something that fits your budget. You can contact Alexandra from "Ornament" for sewing; she specializes in decorations, but she can also handle this kind of work if needed.

- Yeah, I just hope this image stays within the painting and doesn't haunt me, especially at night. Alright, let's move on, here we have a work by Kostus Kepler.
