-- Wouldn't you say that your exterior design has some similarities to what is known as Mitsurugi culture? Perhaps not as many, of course, to be honest, I haven't been there myself, but you have. But anyway, in any case, your beliefs are unique, so there is no real connection to foreign traditions here, I'm just saying, something to think about.
- Yes, that's not important at all, the point is not to follow some architectural traditions. The main thing is that it looks beautiful and spiritual. Author
-- In any case, congratulations on the success of this important endeavor. Do you need help getting everything in order? Or are there no problems with the workers?
- Thank you. No, I have people for that, we'll figure it out.
- They are very comfortable. You can wear them to walk in the snow, in the mountains, in the forest, or in the city. But in dress shoes, you'll twist your ankle, and that's it.
- Penelope, good day! Long time no see. You know how things are with us in Karneol 😅 I see your business is thriving! As for us... we want to boost the city's morale and are organizing a circus performance. Right now, Guiyo and I are running around all over Margel 😅 We need all the help we can get. I remember you mentioning that you had some connection to the circus at one point? I... - she glances around, assessing the interior and the appearance of her interlocutor, - ...I don't think it would be appropriate to invite you to jump on stage with us, considering you have a successful and prestigious business, while Guiyo, Levi from SRI, and I are scraping together the last rems from our own pockets to organize the event and provide a symbolic payment to the performers - unless you want to, of course. But I would be grateful for any advice or leads, especially since I'm still hoping to find an animal trainer - for cats or dogs, perhaps - and maybe a clown, although we could probably find a clown among the people of Karneol, - she snorted, suppressing a laugh.
"We're already gathering quite a crowd. I hope Guiyo has taken care of finding musicians. I wonder how we'll pay them all... Although, I have a brilliant idea. I definitely don't plan to charge admission, but we could put out a donation box - we'll return part of the proceeds to Levi for the city's restoration, and the rest will go towards paying the performers."

- What instrument are you interested in, and what kind of payment are you offering?
- As for instruments, we don't have much choice - whatever you usually play will be fine; your instrument will work. A trumpet or drum would be ideal, but anything will be useful! And regarding payment...
Guiyo pondered, calculating their finances with Beata and how many people they could hire.
"Okay... I've already spent 150 rems on costumes, so we have 950 rems left for the two of us. Let's say Beata finds some workers and manages to stay within a budget of 100 rems. That leaves us with 850 rems. Beata and Alaria will probably perform for free... Hmm. Let's calculate the maximum. Three musicians, and how many performers will Beata find? Let's say five. And we need to have some reserve - in case we need to buy something or find someone else. If we pay 100 rems each, it will be a tight squeeze, and we won't have much room to maneuver. Hmm, I have a great idea; maybe it will work, and Beata will definitely like it. A donation box, so that those who want to and can support us can do so. We'll use part of the funds for the city's restoration and part for the performers' salaries."
- To be honest, I can't name a specific amount. But the minimum amount we will pay from our own funds - he patted his pocket - is 50 rems. If we're lucky, you'll get more, but I can't promise that.
- They are very durable. You can wear them to walk in the snow, in the mountains, in the forest, or in the city. But in regular shoes, you'll twist your ankle, and that's it.
- Thank you. No, I have people for that, we'll sort it out.
-- Alright then. Well... I would suggest we celebrate by going somewhere else, but the only place that comes to mind that I can afford is only possible if its owner hasn't forgotten her promise. I'm talking about the museum of curiosities.
"I'm... trying to remember the whole situation now, and I'm surprised to find a gap in my memory. Was I even at its opening ceremony? Although, logically, I was promised to be invited, and I'm also very curious about what's there."
"Although Beata and Guion said that a full-fledged event requires time and effort. Maybe I should start preparing for tomorrow instead? And how should I approach that?"
-- Yes, well, I don't know if either of us has the energy. Maybe we should visit it later, but the main thing is, let's definitely visit it? ) If you're curious, but in my opinion, it's a great opportunity to learn something new about history.
Astellia was sweeping the floor outside the headquarters.
"And she keeps working and working, even on a day off. Although... Beata and Guion are probably running around with their training right now too. And I myself was planning to dive back into work today, heh, but I got turned down at the SRI. But that's just a minor detail." It wouldn't be good to interrupt the maid from her work, so idle chatter can be left for another time. But a single question about the guys shouldn't interfere with her work. — How are things going? While I was away, did the guys happen to come here?

See, Kosha? And she didn't invite Amamus on a date!
— How are things going? Did anyone come here while I was away?
- No, they haven't returned since they left.

- Penelope, good day! Long time no see. You know, Carnell, things are never normal for us 😅 I see that your business is thriving! But we have a different matter... We want to boost the city's morale and are organizing a circus performance. Right now, Guiyo and I are running around all of Margel 😅 We need any help we can get. I remember you mentioning that you had some connection to the circus in the past? I... - she looks around, assessing the interior and the appearance of the person she's talking to, - ...I don't think it would be appropriate to invite you to jump on stage with us, considering that you have a successful and prestigious business, while Guiyo, Levi from SRI, and I are scraping together the last rems from our own pockets to organize the event and pay the performers a symbolic fee - unless you want to do it yourself. But I would be grateful for any advice or suggestions, especially since I'm still hoping to find an animal trainer - for cats or dogs - and maybe a clown, although we could use any Carnell citizen as a clown, - she snorted, suppressing a laugh.
- Oh, you're that Beatin's sycophant... - Penelope slapped herself on the forehead, realizing she was talking to Beata, not Guiyo. - I've been so busy... Good day, Beata. I'm a little busy right now, so the extent of my help will depend on the terms. How much will the tickets cost, and what percentage of their sales will you offer me? Author
- As for the instruments, we don't have much choice - whatever you usually play will do, your instrument will be suitable. A trumpet or drum would be ideal, but anything will be useful! And regarding payment... - To be honest, I can't name a specific amount. But the minimum amount we will pay from our own funds is - he patted his pocket, - 50 rems. If we're lucky, you'll get more, but I can't promise that.
- Okay, I'll come with a drum. Where and at what time should I show up?

- Well, anyway, I don't know if I have the strength, or if you do. Maybe we should come back later, but the main thing is, let's definitely come back, okay? ) If you're curious, I think it's a great opportunity to learn something new about history.
- Well, we'll decide later, I think after the coronation, right?

- *******. Anyway, tomorrow morning, we're leaving by train. We have the flasks, and I don't know what else to tell you. I guess that's all.
- Listen, if you ditch me, I guarantee I'll make sure that those of yours... Whatever they are... I'll make sure that your Temple is associated with such an orgy that it will be remembered in the present and the distant future.
- Just you watch, if you leave without me, I guarantee I'll throw such an orgy in your temple that it will be associated with it in the present and distant future.
Lock, Revan just gave you not only a hint on how to save Bajena, but also how to immediately get a good influx of parishioners. Don't miss this chance!
- Well, we'll decide then, I think after the coronation, right?
-- Uh-huh, -- a nod. -- Well, it was nice working with you on this task. So, see you soon!
With a flourish and in a heroic manner, the knight waves goodbye to her friend and heads to... Ideal for a short while. Just need to exchange a few words with Penelope about how her modeling agency is doing, as they haven't really talked since she restructured it.
-- Uh-huh, -- he nods. -- Well, it was nice working with you on this task. I guess we'll see each other soon!
With a flourish and a heroic gesture, the knight waves goodbye to her friend and heads off to... Ideal. Just for a moment. She needs to exchange a few words with Penelope about how her modeling agency is doing, as they haven't really talked since Penelope restructured it.
-- Oh, how convenient. Hello, Penelope. Hello again, Beata, -- Erephir, instead of initiating parallel conversations, spends some time examining the establishment and the changes within it, the menu, and so on. Let Beata deal with the circus matters first; the redhead initially had a clear goal of not interfering, and then they can talk about life.
"How long they must wander around there. Although, I guess I'm the same way on ordinary days. I wonder, is this how Astellia spends her weekdays? Sweeping and cleaning while the others are off doing who knows what, who knows where. Sometimes for weeks at a time. It must be very lonely. Unless she actually likes the lack of extra work and the quiet in headquarters." - That's how it is... thanks. It must be lonely here sometimes when everyone goes on some new assignment.
- Oh, you're that... Beatin's yes-man... - Penelope slapped her forehead, realizing she was talking to Beata, not Guion. - I've been working too hard... Good afternoon, Beata. I'm a bit busy right now, so the extent of my help will depend on the terms. How much will the tickets cost, and what percentage of their sales are you offering me?
With an effort of will, Beata refrained from starting a scandal over the insult to Guion.
"Now is not the time. But I'll remember this."
- Ugh... The city is going through difficult times right now, so we're not going to charge the audience - it's very important to maintain a good mood among the citizens. This venture is based on my personal enthusiasm and the small funds we have 😅 Our theater has always been free, so we're upholding the tradition," she smiled. - But I think I'll put out a donation box so that everyone who can and wants to can support us. If we collect a substantial amount, we'll donate 2/3 to the city's reconstruction, if it's a small amount - half, and we'll divide the rest equally among all the performers, plus each of the artists (including the musicians) will be guaranteed at least 50 rem from our personal funds. For you... I would, of course, offer 100 rem instead of 50, but I understand that this is not exactly the amount you are used to dealing with, and how much we can collect from donations is unknown, but it is unlikely to be a fantastic amount. So... that's all we have," she spread her hands.

- Okay, I'll come with a drum. Where and at what time should I show up?
- Thank you, thank you, you've saved us!!! The performance will be in the port district, near Carneol's headquarters. Tonight we'll rehearse and finalize the program... We'll probably start gathering around six o'clock. And tomorrow is the actual performance.
