— No need, — the Tanarian waved her hand, — helping a friend, especially for a good cause, is not a burden for me. But if you really want to, something symbolic would be more than enough. There was no point in adding that she might have to do a lot more similar unpaid work in Kriedaar in the future.
— I'll see what I can do, — the adventuress nodded.
-- I guess what you're getting at, -- said Erefir in a low voice. -- Well, I'm not your consultant, in my homeland they would probably have burned you.
"If not an exaggeration, I would say it sounds similar to my native Thanarsis... but even there, I think everything would have been "easier". Erefir came from an interesting place."
— You're right. When you're running around doing all sorts of things, these moments tend to slip your mind. — Alaria might have wanted to add something like "she should take a break after the recent events," but Naria clearly couldn't afford such a luxury right now, not to mention the inappropriateness of such comments. — Let's see. Anyway, I'm getting ahead of myself. I need to check what other options are available first.
-- Good luck.Author
- Hooray, thank you!
Erephir smiled and went to the workshop. Knock, knock, knock, knock, knock. She returns.
-- Here's the box, and inside is the ram you need.
- I think so too, - she nods with an expression of unwavering confidence. - I'm sure that Lost-san and Adalar-san will also benefit from this - it will be like balm for their weary hearts.
- I hope so too... Etto... - She waved her head from side to side. - I mean, you can count on me, I won't let you and your followers down!Author
passes it to Minake
- Oh-oh-oh! You have very beautiful handwriting! I will definitely read this tonight!Author
- Yes, and there's something else - just a small thing... Just a little gift, - she solemnly hands over a flesh-colored lacquer. - I'm not sure if any flashy cosmetic elements are allowed in your academy, and even if they are, I'm not sure if you personally like them, so I think this shade would be optimal...
- Thank you so much, Aiyano! You've done so much for me lately, I'm not even sure what words to use to express all my gratitude, but I prepared a little something today. - Accepting the lacquer, she takes a plush cat out of her bag and hands it to the priestess. - This is Yoshi. - I bought it in a souvenir shop once. It has a motor inside, which allows it to move a little and meow. Isn't it cute? Uh, this is a gift for you.
Yoshi 10% chance to activate an additional turn 10% health regeneration at the start of the turn. Decoration or other.
— No, I'm not going anywhere yet. My wardrobe is at home, not here. Besides, I have a rehearsal coming up. It's a bit early to leave, you know!

"I wonder if I could try my hand at wood burning? For example, based on Beato-Gion designs. Or my own ideas. It would be perfect for boxes like these," the girl thought, watching Erephir carry her creation past, "the more I think about it, the more uses I find for my abilities. And not just things like 'I could improvise a makeshift onsen just by being present,' but things that have a more permanent effect. And even without touching on the issue of thermal energy, which I could discuss with Erephir... but right now, we have more important things to do."
Ayano didn't challenge this monstrous lie about who among them has been doing "so much" for whom lately; instead, she looked at the "cat" with puzzled expression for a few seconds, then half-smiled, then snorted, then smiled with both halves of her mouth, then let out a second snort, and finally, barely holding back from laughing, she replied: - What a funny one, - ☺️. - What is he doing? Is he a builder? Ha-ha... Arigato, Minako-chan," she said gently, pulling the cat close to her chest, and smiled gratefully. - I will look at him during the upcoming trip so that I don't get sad and try to do everything and return as soon as possible," she shows him to the Lord. - Look how good he is, isn't he?
-- No problem, -- and the nosenrotka went to the nearest store to buy some flowers; a couple of carnations were enough... Then, to the Moon Park.
She buys them and comes to the right place where there is no one else but her.

- What a funny one, - ☺️. - What is he doing? Is he a builder? Ha-ha... Arigato, Minako-chan, - gently pulling the cat to her chest, she smiles gratefully and nods. - I will look at him during the upcoming trip so as not to be sad and try to do everything and return as soon as possible.
- Great! I'm glad he liked you. And he's not just a builder, but a jack-of-all-trades. Author
- shows him to the Lord. - Look at him! Isn't he good?
- Uh-huh. He looks a little like you when you come up with some idea.
- This is exactly what was needed! Thank you! But what does the lamb have to do with it?
-- One evil sorcerer enslaved a village and demanded a lamb from the unfortunate peasants for an unholy summoning ritual, along with other sacrifices, because the problem, for some reason, was specifically with the lamb. Virgins and young men somehow satisfied the sorcerer, but whenever a lamb was brought: either its horns were not the right shape, or it bleated with the wrong voice, or its wool was not clean enough... The saddest thing was that the peasants couldn't even properly protest all this, because their minds had long been manipulated for convenience, but they also couldn't please the sorcerer and were constantly punished.
-- And one day, the sorcerer returned home, and on his doorstep was a box, just the right size for a lamb, and on it was written, "Inside this box is the lamb you need." The sorcerer wasn't a fool, but he had the curiosity typical of mages, so he sent a familiar to open it... And that was the wrong move; it would have been better to move to another hut, because through the magical channels connecting the mage with the familiar, he was immediately paralyzed by a special artifact, and a second later, his mana shield shattered from the attacks of a certain group of people, among whom was the Red Fury... Yes, there was a time when there was more than one. So that's the whole story, and the box with the lamb was like a funny joke that arose after a survey of the locals, becoming a kind of parable, and tactically it was also convenient to avoid putting people at risk... Although it was more difficult to implement than it sounds, but I won't describe everything in detail.
- Great! I'm glad you liked him. And he's not just a builder, but a jack-of-all-trades.
- So that's how it is? A cat of many talents. And I never noticed anything like that in the souvenir... But maybe they'll bring in something fun.Author
- Uh-huh. He looks a little bit like you when you come up with an idea.
- Heh-heh, if you say so, - she accepted the compliment, even though comparing the cuteness of a cartoon-plush cat to a human is like comparing the sun to a burning match.
- Yes, Minako, here are the keys, - she hands over the keyring. - Shamushu-haiden-honden - two for each door, this is the table, this is the chest, this is this and that. Everything you need is there, although you've already seen a lot of it.
To Edge Lord: - Mmm, there was one more thing, about the ninja bikes... One such carrot-loving fan got attached to me, and I couldn't dissuade her, - she sighs. - And why can't she stay at home? Maybe she has a thirst for adventure, just like before she came here. Anyway, she'll be with us tomorrow... - another sigh. - And I just wanted to warn her not to get into trouble again.
Buys and goes to the right place where no one else is around.
Didn't find Kiliku again, but oh well... It was still worth visiting this place.
Nozenrotka approaches Raphael's grave, brushing off the light dusting of snow and/or leaves.
-- Well, my secretary? I brought your salary. Sorry it's not much, but you understand, the job is what it is, and so is the reward. You've gotten so lazy that we had to hire another one, and then a third, for your position... Yes, yes, you heard right, now there's a third one. Well, of course...
Places flowers and thinks that she should also visit Merel from time to time.
-- That's the situation, our comrade isn't very combat-ready. Traditionally, I hope you're not in hell, and you're playing interesting pieces in your "Valhalla." I guess I should say something else, but I'm not good at that... Goodbye, I'll visit again.
