-- Everything will be alright, -- Alania said with a smile, placing her hand reassuringly on the young man's shoulder, -- we will do everything possible to make sure the audience enjoys tomorrow's performance. I, for one, definitely plan to perform at my best.

- Common sense is good, thank you. - the knight nodded. "Wouldn't it be more convenient to bombard the city from Necromancer airships?... Although, I might not know that." - Six in the morning, huh? I'll have to set an alarm. - pleased with his own joke, he points to the board with information: - And tell me, are you still accepting donations? We have some unwanted furniture, a little food, maybe it will be useful for the victims.

- Whatever you have, - the priestess finally answers her with a nod and a thumbs up, looking critically at the rabbit. - Hmm... Well, it's not bad. And it suits you.

- No matter who you "give it to" - that's the question of the century.

- This is Heinos-kun, he likes to shock people with such statements. Miyuki, Matthias, Hugon, Tenok, Suiyen, Yun, Kanchan, Jilo, Amirega, Pion, Anpan. They are also -kun and sword students of Sonata, - having correctly and without hesitation named the entire roster, she realized that these names would probably not be remembered, because Bajena had not spent several days hunched over each dossier, but for the sake of etiquette, it was still worth saying it. - And this is Bajena - my close friend; and Linetta - a professional mercenary and weapons master. They are also traveling with us.

- Linetta-dono, ohaё. How are you? Oh, and yes, you probably don't know each other - this is Sonata, also my close friend and their instructor. But that's not all, a few more people should come.

- Our fight will be non-contact, if you agree to it, no need to touch each other. I see from your eyes that the idea isn't fully understood, just look at the scene, what are people doing... Although Beata is a circus performer, but as I understand, a slight deviation from the canon is possible if it's spectacular, and here's the kind of spectacle I imagine...
-- A dance rhythm, flexibility, a little aggressive spice. What do you think? Of course, it would be great if we had Kilika, as an expert in hand-to-hand combat, but we need to seize the opportunity while it's hot, and I'm already warmed up, just waiting for your opinion.

- I wonder why so early?... - Sanexa asked herself. - I know that Her Highness, Princess Naria, starts her day early, but still... A significant part of the city is still asleep at this time.

- Yes, of course, we accept any help.

- Yes, the Creon incident is quite illustrative, - Gillon smiled nervously. - Although, even without him, there's plenty of excitement... Fire, knives, a huge snake - he's peaceful, of course, but still... - bars almost three meters high, props of varying weight... I should have ordered a costume for the mage too, but I didn't even know what gender our illusionist would be, so I just took one at random, except for you and Beata. Because she looks amazing in a bikini, of course, but I highly doubt the practicality of that outfit.

— It's quite obvious, I must say. I'm actually most worried about Laikos. He's still a novice, — the inquisitor glanced at the burly fellow training in the distance, with a slight, but imperceptible, apprehension, — I wouldn't worry too much about the fire, unless some idiots decide to break into the arena. I handle it skillfully, and the woman is used to burns — it's one of the most reliable ways to quickly stop bleeding in the middle of a battle... — saying this, the Tanarian paused, — ...although, perhaps it's not something you need to hear, given your profession. I wouldn't want you to scold me for my makeshift methods, — she smiled, shaking her head.

— Arnissa seems like a professional, and she's been performing with the Soul Reaper for several years, but it's still worth taking precautions. Again, just in case there are some idiot spectators that someone doesn't keep an eye on. The poison of the barsikonda is quite a terrible thing, causing temporary paralysis and blindness, possibly even burns, and then, without timely treatment, even death. So, it makes sense to have something on hand in case that happens, if you haven't already.

And you know as much about knives and bars as I do, — Alarie immediately remembered Viktor Loss, who, according to his own stories, was capable of knocking off a head with a single accurate hit, — I'm not sure why Beata even agreed to such a performance, but I'll trust her as a professional.

What else can be done? Although, I would also ask the Beautiful Queen to dress more appropriately for a public performance. In our case, of course, we can always say that it's part of the performance, but even then... you need to have a good command of language. And something thematic, playing on the chosen image, would look more effective. Otherwise, even in some XXX place, the maids would be in just swimsuits... — remembering the LePote, who operated on a similar principle, the warrior stopped mid-sentence, — ...never mind. And it's too late to worry about the costume now, unless we hint to the illusionist to rummage through her wardrobe. And if not... maybe we should put her act closer to the end. Otherwise, during the subsequent performances of other participants, some smart alecks in the stands might make disapproving remarks, expecting a slightly different costume. It could cause discomfort to some participants or their neighbors, especially if they come to the performance with children, — having said this, she looked thoughtfully at the sky, — or maybe I'm overthinking it. I just like to consider hypothetical scenarios in my mind, each of which is based on a number of assumptions.

Noticing that her interlocutor had somehow become gloomy and wrapped himself tighter in his clothes, the Tanarian looked at the Lunesian with concern. — Are you okay?

- They look like a family occupying a compartment, - she also waved to the aquarium visitors. - What time is their departure?... We also wanted to take them out for a good meal.

- That's great, I'll submit it in the second half of the day. Hmm... And regarding voluntary help, I understand that without a useful profession and ONE, no one needs you right now?...

- Well, he seems to be handling things pretty well now. I hope he learned his lesson. I won't scold you, though. An unprofessional person can certainly cause a lot of harm in an attempt to help, but sometimes makeshift methods can save lives. It's better to at least try to make things better than to do nothing.

- I just happened to have some antitoxin on hand," Gillon showed a vial. "I've encountered giant venomous snakes before... Luckily, they didn't have time to bite me.

- Most likely, it's about the fact that this is a standard circus act. She hasn't even thought about walking on a tightrope yet. But I'm also worried about the knives; this guy... he's original, to say the least. I hope Beata told him that we don't need any incidents.

- I hope she was informed that we will have city guards patrolling. Although, if she walked past them like that... You're right, we should schedule her performance closer to the end; a real mage can certainly be the highlight of the show.

- M?
"She definitely shouldn't know what I was thinking about... But she deserves at least some honesty."
- I just remembered... I suddenly realized how we don't appreciate what we have until we lose it.

They will open summoning points in Anush.

"I thought that in Margel, on the contrary, a classic, highly engaging, and spectacular brawl is considered the norm, although it's not ideal for a circus performance. Maybe it could work as something different? Although, what kind of variety can there be when the fighting club has been shut down for ages."
— It doesn't seem that difficult. — Garrett concluded, studying her movements. — I think I can imitate it... or at least try to. Perhaps this act would attract more attention if performed by a female duo – I should ask Kilika if she's interested. Otherwise, I'd rather sign up for staged combat or something similar, where I can use my strength and demonstrate my resilience. But let's not get ahead of ourselves; we'll figure it out later. For now, let's dance!"
After warming up a bit, he takes a position opposite Erefir and nods, indicating his readiness.
