- No, I don't know how to "pretend" to fight, and I don't want to. I also don't want to walk around with bruises tomorrow.

- Let's go.
K and S arrive at the Necropolis and find A working there.

- No, I don't know how or want to "play fight," and I don't want to walk around with bruises tomorrow.

Returning to base, Alaria informs Gyion that the plan failed – Nadia quickly disappeared, likely after the Despair's attack. It's no surprise that there haven't been many people reading newspapers lately.

"If you want, you can hide bruises with concealer. And hickeys in awkward places. And many other things that you wouldn't want to show to the public," thought the Tanarrian girl as she passed by, "but I won't say anything about it. It would sound less like advice and more like an attempt to persuade someone to do something. And besides, concealer isn't a guarantee, it's just a convenient tool. Not to mention that such knowledge doesn't come from nowhere. So, there will inevitably be questions about where I got such experience."

- Good day, excuse me for interrupting. - K said to A. - Do you happen to have any suitable attire for sale for tomorrow's ceremony? If not, is it possible to have one made, and how much would it cost?

- The first stage is denial, as all those scientists say, - the great Nihonka only smiled at this helpless barbarian rage of various kinds, before nodding approvingly to her intergalactic comrade.

- Kili... Although I fully understand the reasons for this refusal, it seems that you provoked us with your uncompromising criticism, and then distanced yourself from its logical continuation - do you think you did the right thing? 😔 Okay, jokes aside, will you take the lead? Let's try to combine our current ideas with how you tell us to proceed, and also increase the pace so that even the most attentive viewer won't have time to catch that millisecond when the movements of the two warriors pass each other in the air. If you are even a little interested in this, of course, but I am sure: if we manage to satisfy even your discerning taste, then we will be able to impress anyone. )

- But I'm not a teacher, and not even a commander, - the cat-girl shrugged, - it's better to do this without me...
Kilika goes back to her place.

The knight sighed.

-- Well. No matter how important various additional factors that facilitate the work are for success, in the end, only one thing matters: human perseverance! We know roughly in which direction we need to move, Gar: that final, spectacular flourish after the block with a roll – that's something Kilike would definitely appreciate. We need more of that.

-- True, but before that. Beata, tell me, will the number still be performed, or is it pointless after the current complications? I think that if it's too flawed, we can leave it, because one of the goals – to practice and synchronize better with each other – has been achieved. To lower the overall level of the performance, which everyone is working so hard on, with an unfinished piece would be unforgivable; only something that fully meets your circus standards is worth performing!

"We could even have all the performers perform for each other in turn and evaluate the numbers democratically, but I guess that's what it will come to."

—Hmm... —the villager scrutinized the tiny icon of a white coat. —Hmm... —he compared two thousand against one against nothing. —Hmm... —he quickly checked S.'s spell list. —Hmm... What do you think? —he asked his companion.
