- That sounds terrible, I sympathize with you. I'm also familiar with digestive problems 😅 But that time, I ended up in trouble because of food poisoning, it's a long story... - Guyon sighed and grimaced. - Any illness requires attention and treatment, because even the least serious cases worsen the quality of life, so I'm very glad to hear that you're feeling better now!
- Thank you, you are very kind. By the way! Would you like to come over for lunch?Author
- Our stage isn't very big, and we haven't provided special enclosures for large predators, but at the same time, there will be quite a few spectators, and a very small animal in the back rows might not be visible. I was told that you are an expert in tigers, but they also added that you work with other animals as well. Ideally, something like a cat, dog, monkey, raccoon, parrot, ferret, rabbit would be suitable, you could even use a pig, donkey, or pony. If you have other options, let's see what we can do.
- Wouldn't that be very interesting? There are plenty of monkeys, dogs, parrots, donkeys, and pigs in this city, and there are even a few rabbits on the outskirts... But okay, I'll think about who we can use. Author
- I could also help with setting all of this up. I've had to do all sorts of things in life, including working on construction sites from time to time. Although... I think my help was implied anyway.
- Then let's get to work, - putting on better gloves, Laikos started working, and other assistants followed him.

- Konnichiwa, Orros Sanderstrike-san. And it's me again, this time with a small request. I'm curious, is this related to the seasons or is there some other reason? For example, is there some new enchanting idea that you're working on? - He gestures to the price list, explaining that he means a better buff for the boots than before. - Here's the item, - he presents the black boots.
- And to you as well, - the dwarf greeted in response, taking the boots, - yes, I'm gradually developing my craft, and there's so much work that I had to refuse more simple orders. Recently, for example, I had to take care of a whole herd of young swordsmen.
Okay, fine, we can use tigers; at worst, the circus performance will turn into a small quest about eliminating them. Bring 10 tiger whiskers to the employer (0/10).
- Thank you, you are very kind. By the way! Would you like to drop by for lunch?
- I'm sorry, but not right now 😅 My fiancée and I have a very busy day today organizing our performance, and tomorrow is the performance itself. Maybe sometime later, - he smiled.

- Wouldn't that be too boring? There are plenty of monkeys, dogs, parrots, donkeys, and pigs in this city, and even a few rabbits in the countryside... But okay, I'll think about who I can involve.
- I agree that tigers or lions would be much more interesting, but we have what we have, - Beata spread her hands. - But maybe sometime later... - she sighed dreamily. - We would be very grateful! Do you need any more help, or do you have everything under control?
Come on, we can even use tigers; at worst, the circus performance will turn into a small quest about their elimination. Bring 10 tiger whiskers to the employer (0/10).
And Erephir will be the one eliminating them. I'd also like to talk to the guards about the performance, but I'll do that later. However, I want to ask the Carneolians who aren't participating in the performance to help with security. We'll have Alaria and Biboboba there, of course, but still.
Why not, after all — she loves quests like that...Author
Penelope found 7 outfits that fit Erefir's size: - The fitting room is over there.
-- Oh, how beautiful... 🤩
Despite the fact that finding something suitable and sturdy enough for a fury's battle figure probably wasn't easy, Penny unexpectedly scrounged up as many as 7 such pieces of clothing. Far more than needed...
Erefir first thought about picking just one, trying on only that outfit and going with it — after all, a scout's eye for measurements left no room for doubt... But she still decided that doing so might offend a fashion designer accustomed to approaching her work with utmost pedantry, so she tries on all the outfits one by one. That turned out to be the right call: on the knight herself, the dresses looked completely different than on the mannequins. Far more battle-ready, if you will...
In the end, one could single out perhaps the most pleasant one. Blue in color. Maybe also one more, a slightly more closed white-and-red one (but that one would need photoshopping if the need arises).
Phew, given that Penny was in a hurry, she changed clothes quickly — swish-swish and done — and still she was afraid of delaying the procedure too long with any hesitation. From her point of view, that option looked good, so she decided to spend just a few more seconds to wait for Penelope's approval:
-- Well, does your professional eye say this suits the occasion? If something's off, then maybe that white-and-red one? Please forgive me for how complicated my case is...
- Hmm, I see? Well, having too much work is always better than not having enough, especially if it allows you to ramp things up. So, I'm happy for you. Your company is absolutely indispensable. And what about those swordsmen? Are they preparing for war?
Apparently, Penny underestimated Erephir's figure, and the neckline became a bit deeper. I'm dealing with the same problem; Alarii really likes to make the neckline very deep, even though there's a tag in the negative attributes.
But you can generate something else and Photoshop it.
Or change the model, yeah. Because mine likes to show off a deeper neckline than yours.Author
- Then let's get to work, - pulling on better gloves, Laikos got down to business, and other assistants followed suit.
Perhaps it would make sense to change into something more appropriate, as the guys on the construction site usually do. The weather isn't the warmest, but Alaria isn't exactly delicate either. And the path of fire, which changed the very essence of the girl, would keep her warm in cold weather. Perhaps even so much that she could wear whatever her fiery soul desires all year round and not catch a cold. On the other hand, the inquisitor also understood that changing clothes to something more revealing could give Daks some new and not-so-good ideas, and that was something to keep in mind. And besides, he didn't deserve such a pleasant sight.
It had been a long time since she had done such a seemingly simple, purely physical job. Training, although it strained various muscle groups, was not quite the same. Cooking all day for the Carneolians and the sick was more demanding, primarily in terms of endurance. And her imagination and quick wit, to diversify the menu with something new, pleasant, and useful each time. To keep the bodies in good shape and make sure that the taste buds don't get too used to one thing, so that it doesn't become boring. In a way, she was building the health of her comrades brick by brick, just like she was building this scene now.
But to call construction a mindless craft, despite the demands on physical abilities, Alaria couldn't. Those spoiled by the wealth of their usual lives, not just the rich, but even people with a simpler financial situation, sometimes looked down on ordinary workers. They underestimated the hard and responsible work, even though they benefited from it every day. But they were completely wrong. It was necessary to coordinate and follow a clear plan, so that everyone did their job and did it well. So that nothing was missed due to inattention or fatigue. The structures had to not only look the way they should and perform their intended function, but also be reliable. So the former inquisitor didn't forget to double-check her own work and keep an eye on her colleagues, just in case. Now they were laying the foundation not just for a future performance, but perhaps for Beata's post-Carneolian career.
And it would also be worth remembering her past skills for the future, when she goes to Kridear. The proud mountaineers will appreciate any help, but it's much better if that help is qualified. From someone who knows what they're doing. Especially if you believe Klin's words about the self-sufficiency of his people, who are inclined to achieve everything with their own hands. It would be very embarrassing to offer to help, and then fail and get in the way of the person you're supposed to be helping. No, if she wants to help raise Kridear from the ashes in the future, she must do it in the best possible way. Just as she is doing now, with the preparations for the upcoming performance.
- I'm sorry, but not in the near future 😅 My fiancée and I have a very busy day today organizing our performance, and tomorrow is the performance itself. Maybe sometime later, - he smiled.
- That's a pity, but nothing can be done. But don't worry, even though you declined my offer, I accept your offer. Author
- I agree that tigers or lions are much more interesting, but we have what we have, - Beata spread her hands. - But maybe sometime later... - she sighed dreamily. - We would be very grateful! Do you need any more help, or do you have everything under control?
- Everything is under control. Author
- Well, does your professional eye say that this is suitable for the occasion? If something is wrong, can we use the white and red one? Please excuse me for the complexity of my request...
- It's suitable. How about taking a few photos for memory?Author
- Hmm? Well, an excess of work is always better than a lack of it, especially if it allows you to ramp up. So, I'm glad for you. Your company is absolutely indispensable. And what about the swordsmen? Are they gathering for war?
- Thank you for the compliment. - The gnome bowed, then shrugged his small shoulders. - I didn't ask them. They came with the owner, XXX, and a very charming lady, and I don't know anything else.
- I'm very sorry, but there's nothing I can do. But don't worry, even though you declined my offer, I accept yours.
- Thank you very much, that's very kind of you. Could you tell me what instrument you specialize in? And also... As I said, our budget is quite limited, and the compensation for the participants will be rather... modest, 👉👈 - he smiled sheepishly, glancing meaningfully at the location where the action was taking place. - We guarantee 50 rem, and if we're lucky, we'll add a little more. Teriteri
- I'm ready for anything.
- Excellent! Then today, m... After six, there will be a rehearsal at Carneol's headquarters in the port, and tomorrow is the performance itself! We'll be waiting for you!
The workers are building a stage according to Beata's specifications, and Alaria is learning the builder profession.
Strength +2, endurance +3, perception +3.
The character spends a turn to create a barrier on one tile in front of them; the barrier's health is equal to the attack divided by two, and physical damage to it is halved.

- Ah, those ones. Yes, my little soldiers. In the sense of "my acquaintances." Well, then everything is fine.
- Is that so? Then give them my regards, especially to that lady. - While they were talking, the gnome managed to complete the order. - Here you go, enjoy.

It's time to head to Elysia and block off the harpy lairs 😎
- The smiles of the audience will be the only reward I need.
- That's very noble of you, but we still believe that work should be rewarded. Guyon hesitated for a moment, not hearing an answer about the tool being used. He felt awkward asking again, but he still wanted to know...Teriteri
- I understand.
- Excellent, then see you later! Beata runs out of the Haven and calculates the time - is it time to head to the Academy yet?
