- I'm busy, but I can spare a few minutes. There's a big task ahead.
-- Wow, "ahead" means tomorrow, right? Well, I won't bother you too much; I mainly wanted to see how you've arranged everything here and to compliment you. The atmosphere here has become quite rich and refined. Hmm... And what does this item about "work" mean? Is it for those who have several hundred beauty points? )
- Good day! My name is Guion, and I'm looking for Wilma L'For. We're organizing a, uh, rather modest event to boost the morale of the residents, and when I asked where I could find a good musician, I was recommended her and given this address.
- Wilma L'For is the daughter of Mr. L'For, hmm, - the butler narrowed his eyes, looking at Guion, - may I ask, who is "we"?Author
- Good day to you, Faemira! And again, I find myself within your hospitable walls, - she smiled. - We are organizing a circus performance to instill joy and hope in the hearts of the city's residents, and I learned that the artists Arnissa Lass and Rapi Crypt live here, whose talents will be useful in tomorrow's performance! May I ask which rooms they occupy and if I can speak with them now?
- Apartments 15 and 35, - Faemira replied, hanging her head, lacking her usual energy, - only Rapi is not here right now; he went to help the workers in the center.

- Wow, "soon" means right tomorrow? Well, I won't distract you too much; I primarily wanted to see how you've arranged everything here and compliment you.

- For someone like this, - Erefir shows a photo of Aiyano, - I was going to publish her photo album, but the event in the center disrupted all plans, but as time has shown, it turned out to be for the better. Imagine, I recently found out that the princess Naria's adopted daughter works in our agency; imagine how well this album will sell after tomorrow's coronation.
- What exactly is connected to what? Every person belongs to one confession or another, or to a particular branch of it. She might have come from Yanagi or anywhere else, but if she found these beliefs in her heart, then that is the final picture of her worldview. If the question is about external aesthetic similarity, or nominal similarity of the vectors of fundamental principles – such as harmony of soul and mind – then perhaps yes, this was naturally taken as a basis. But it would also be strange for her to organize a separate teaching with a radically different vector, don't you think? It's not that it's impossible to imagine something like that, but for obvious reasons, it would be much less likely. Allow me to ask, Kalina-dono, how did you come to your current state of mind? - has it changed color?..

-- Hmm, it's quite exotic. I understand the original idea, to mix the usual beauties of the city with a beauty in a kimono and with bells, yes, there is style in this.
-- And the adopted daughter... of Lady Naera? That's really unexpected news, with each hour I am more and more convinced that my knowledge of the people I seemingly consider the most important is criminally small, - said the Erefir from an alternate timeline, where Penelope confused the name in the conversation, but the current Erefir said:
-- Adopted daughter, huh, I wouldn't have guessed. But yes, one should expect such wisdom from the Sovereign, that She would provide herself with the most reliable person she could find.
"That's what the conversation about the heir was about, I have another sister, which means she is prepared for a contingency of a completely different scale than all the current ones. I still don't understand why the Sovereign believes that she will not be able to live long, either all her strength will be depleted after completing the Grand Mission, or... I don't even know, I'm not sure. But She has already prepared... Very early, of course. But still, there is some truth in this."
-- As for your awareness, Penelope, your network of agents is still impressive. You know, we could also use such connections, given some of our tasks, I am sure that in Carneole, the factor of spontaneity is too great, our victories are not achieved thanks to, but in spite of. Now, of course, there is the coronation and other important matters, but for the future, we should somehow work on these issues, with Her Highness's approval, of course.
The knightess casually flipped through the album again, looked around, and once again stopped her gaze on the dresses... She clearly wanted to say something, but she was embarrassed. However, in the end, she decided.
-- Listen, but... do you rent out dresses? Or, maybe you know where I can get one for a day? Exactly for 24 hours.
- Perhaps she decided that Yanagi's approach wasn't effective against the destructive trends of the modern world? After all, the main threat to humanity's well-being doesn't come from evil spirits, but from technology, magic, and human greed. If people ever start cutting down forests and replacing flesh with metal for the sake of ephemeral progress, a more aggressive approach will be needed to counter it. - She shrugged sheepishly. - It was a coincidence. For most of my conscious life, I wandered aimlessly, but one day I came across the teachings of Ikigai, and it allowed me to find peace in my soul and a mission in life. I reconciled with my father and found like-minded people.
That's why Ayano can't be the heir. This was stated explicitly.
Fyr isn't a lawyer, and from the perspective of historical records, it seems that the monarchs of Welfern prefer to choose their heirs independently, without paying too much attention to the order of succession, at least. Perhaps adopted children haven't inherited yet.Author
Erephir is like: 😅
Why would she cut down forests? This would cause monsters to die out and life would become boring, and she doesn't want that.
How does deforestation relate to chainsaws? It's not like they invented a billion Chinese people who would buy up all the wood for bribes to the authorities... WAIT, THAT'S WHY THEY DID IT.
-- Hmm, quite exotic. I understand the original idea – to add some variety to the usual city beauties with a beauty in a kimono and with bells, yes, there's a certain style to it.
- She has very strict requirements for outfits and poses, and now it's clear why – a monarchy has its own quirks, and it's probably not a good idea to show off underwear to the subjects.Author
-- As for your information, Penelope, your network of agents is still impressive. You know, we could also use such connections, considering some of our tasks. I'm sure that in Carneole, the element of randomness is too great; our victories are achieved not because of, but in spite of it. Now, of course, there's the coronation and other important matters, but for the future, we should somehow work on these issues, with Her Highness's approval, of course.
- Okay.Author
-- Listen, but... Do you rent out dresses? Or, maybe you know where I can get one for a day? Just for 24 hours.
- I don't usually, but I can make an exception for you.
As soon as the maid opened her mouth, Beaty’s lackeys appeared on the territory of the Carneol court.
"Quite an interesting company, I must say. Beaty’s circus performers or something else? Oh well, they interrupted our peaceful conversation with Astellia..."Author
Creon
"He doesn’t look like a circus performer. He looks like some kind of monk who retreats to the mountains and lives in harmony with the world. However, remembering those same Camelian Daikyo, he will probably be able to surprise us with something. An unexpected guest for an impromptu troupe, but it’s not for me to say, heh."Author
Zostmer de Gnil
"Did he prepare in advance and apply makeup, or is this kind of makeup some kind of bold statement that only he understands? He gives the impression of an artist."Author
Rapi Crypt
"He also looks like a circus performer. I guess he is often asked where he got those scars."Author

"How old is he, anyway? Although... maybe he’s just half-dwarf. Judging by the whip, he’s probably some kind of trainer. True, it’s not quite clear why he carries it with him. He’s not going to train Beaty, is he?"Author
Laikos Standis
"Breathing mask and bare torso? This strongman is a man of contrasts, I see! Although... I don’t know, maybe he needs it for health reasons. It’s hard to breathe without it. It wouldn’t be good to joke about a person who might have serious health problems." — Good day. What can I do for you? Despite her assumptions, Alaria was in no hurry to share information about Beaty’s plans. If this is someone with bad intentions, she would present the reason for the visit on a silver platter. And she could easily be wrong. Maybe these are not circus acquaintances at all, but recruits gathered by Erefir throughout the city. She wanted to fill the empty rooms with new wards. The main thing is that there are no maniacs this time.
- Actually, I don't usually do that, but I can make an exception for you.
-- Really? Thank you... 😞 Because I don't really know what it will be like, but just in case, it would be good to be dressed appropriately, after all, this coronation ceremony might be the only one I see with my own eyes in my lifetime. And without you, I would have to choose between coming in armor (which, in my opinion, isn't bad, but it seems like only I think so) or in everyday clothes... which is completely unacceptable.
-- And, if you're willing, how much will it cost me?

Happy Life
