- Yes, count it, - sighed Beata.

Having replenished their energy with an abundance of phantom supplies, the passengers disembarked an hour before the train arrived in Risserlang, leaving Regina Bridable completely alone – only the rhythmic sounds of the moving locomotive kept her company. Outside, the familiar warmth of the "steel horse" was no longer felt – the November cold and damp did not contribute to a comfortable journey. Worried about Ayano's health, Lord draped his coat over her shoulders. Lord's Coat Immune to fire. Immune to water. Immune to earth. Immune to air. Immune to darkness. Indestructible. Despite the cold temperatures, bloodthirsty mosquitoes the size of chicken eggs still roamed these areas, but FCL did everything he could to prevent even a single drop of Ayano's blood from falling into their clutches. He also carefully made sure that she didn't step on anything nasty or get scratched by sharp tree branches... A little later, during a break, Kanchan, looking somewhat agitated, ran up to the priestess. After making sure that no one else was listening, he told her about a terrible incident. - Um, how should I put this... Well, I needed to relieve myself, so I stepped away a bit to be alone, and in the bushes I saw... Um... Your blonde-haired friend... On all fours, and behind her was H-h-h... Hein... That is... Well, you probably understand? And while he was doing it, he was holding your photo in his hand and looking at it... Just don't think that I'm tattling or anything, I just thought you deserved to know... Um, that's all, thank you for your attention. Without waiting for a response, the young man ran away. Some time later, the squad approached the cave they needed – it was only about five hundred meters away. Here, the operation commander, Sonata, taking into account the competence of her subordinates, ordered Lord to go inside the coven and conduct reconnaissance, while Gaheris would inspect the surroundings for anything of interest. Before starting the assignment, Lord spoke to the priestess away from prying ears. - If something happens... Well, I'll, of course, try to make sure nothing happens, but still... Remember that I love you more than anyone in the world. And, please, take care of yourself.

When I said that Bazhena would be inflating the XXX score by exploiting Sonata's students, I was just kidding...

She's only interested in Hein, and even he is more interested in Ayano.

- Correct. Congratulations, you've reached the first non-burnable amount. Metarma, a small prize for our clever player?

Metarma takes a jar out of her bag, and inside the jar is a Hercules beetle, which she hands to Beate.

Erephir claps his hands, enjoying the pleasant sound the beetle makes.

Alaria loudly applauds Beata’s success; she already had more correct answers than all the other squad members combined.

Metarma takes a jar out of her bag, and from the jar, a Hercules beetle, and hands it to Beata.

“It’s somewhat similar to Mr. Sanderstrike. Hmm… perhaps I shouldn’t voice that association, or they might think I’m looking down on dwarves.” So, he promised only experience as a reward, but he ended up being generous with… beetles. It turns out the psychiatrist was not only a fan of fashion magazines and a bit of an occultist, but also an entomologist? One can only guess what other surprises were hidden in his bag.

Damn, I can't watch the video from work.
- Oh, - Beata giggled, taking the beetle. - And what a cutie, - she holds it thoughtfully in her palm, observing the creature.
He turns to the applause, which of course included Guyon.
- I'm shocked myself, guys, - she chuckled.
- And I've always said you're great, - Guyon replied with such pride, as if he had taught her everything himself.

Guyons

I wouldn't buy Gillon.

"How does he know that?" – Zlobny's unusual erudition couldn't help but raise questions – "Did he specifically study this aspect to add more provocative questions to his game? Or, after recent incidents, did the administration issue leaflets warning certain groups of people to exercise extreme caution? Perhaps I've already answered my own question. But I wouldn't be too surprised if the next one turns out to be some kind of puzzle with conditional demon points or magical reactors."

I would buy it. He's cute and cuddly. He's just very gluttonous.

– Well, and what questions do you have? How would I know? – Beata snorted. – I don't go to slave markets!
Gion quietly snorted, covering his mouth with his hand. He remembered the circumstances of their acquaintance very well.
– I know that the Lunarians can enslave anyone, but they mostly go for boys, – Beata mused aloud. – I don't know anything else.
Gion coughed, hiding his laughter. Of course, she knows, of course...
Beata thought again.
– Alaria, didn't you mention something about Calcite? I'll take a hint, help from the audience!

Decided to Google (or YouTube) for some sound effect, but couldn't find anything. Instead, I came across this:

- Well, what kind of questions are these? How am I supposed to know? - Beata snorted, - I don't go to slave markets!
Gideon quietly snorted, covering his mouth with his hand. He remembered the circumstances of their acquaintance very well.
- I know that the Lunarians can enslave anyone, but they mostly go for boys, - Beata mused aloud. - That's all I know.
Gideon coughed, hiding his laughter. Of course, she knows, of course...
Beata thought again.
- Alaria, didn't you mention something about Calcite? I'll take that as a hint, help from the audience!

"And I, apparently, look like someone who goes around? But that was for work, and it's not even an excuse..."
- She did mention it, but I wasn't particularly interested in such aspects, - the warrior hesitated, - nevertheless, I would choose option B: the Lunarians. Firstly, as we all know, the Lunarians, due to their natural characteristics, have magical abilities. This factor alone should significantly increase their market value compared to an average person who does not possess magical potential. Add to that their natural beauty and slowed aging. Let's not pretend that this isn't valued. And let's finish with cultural aspects. In Lower Lunaria, it is expected that a woman should occupy a dominant position, which surely makes them a more desirable acquisition for cruel slave owners. Not only have they fallen under the power of a man, but also a human. And other "peculiarities" of the elves may also arouse the interest of such sadists, - having summarized her opinion, the Tanarisi looked thoughtfully at the reactions of those present, - I hope I haven't spoiled anyone's appetite with my arguments. If so, I apologize. I felt it was necessary to say everything as it is.
