Posts from ☀️ Arselia and Akonia Auto-translated

Taking a deep breath and, with a trembling hand holding her katana, wiping the sweat from her forehead – in the process, almost slicing her own face – Aiyano looks around. Could it be that everything here, including the living and dead bodies, has seeped into the ground?..
With a gesture, she asks the women to move away from the holes and leans on her scabbard, trying to regulate her breathing for a few seconds using a familiar technique.
- I... am glad that this... didn't happen... - she finally replies, feeling relieved that she didn't waste her ultimate ability in the battle. - He's done it now. And Akonia knows how many of these arms he has, or maybe even more are growing? Disgusting.
Looking at Bajena with concern, she shakes her head:
- What a bunch of scoundrels... Does it hurt badly? - she winces as if she herself had taken a lot of damage. - I have an emerald. Although... Maybe it would be better to ask Kayasu-kocho, - she sighs and shakes her head - Sorry for dragging you into this.

- During my long stay in the Covenant's chambers, nothing like this has ever happened here... - As always, Sonata wasn't particularly alarmed by the fact that a giant tentacle had grabbed her; her extensive experience gave her certain advantages. - Something unexpected happened on the lower levels.

- Well, what a bunch of creeps... Does it hurt a lot? - she winces as if she herself had taken a lot of damage. - I have an emerald. Although... Maybe it's better to ask Kayasu-kocho for help, - she sighs and shakes her head. - Sorry for dragging you into this.

- Well, not really... But I wouldn't want to become dinner for some *** thing. - Bājena slapped her friend hard on the back and smiled approvingly and menacingly. - Forget about it! If it weren't for me, you'd already be in trouble, so it's good that I'm here!

- Aiyano, - Sonata called out to the priestess again, - there shouldn't be any enemies left on the fourth level, won't you come with me? And the rest can examine this level for anything interesting.

Famous last words.

- During my long stay in the coven's chambers, nothing like this has ever happened... - As always, Sonata wasn't particularly worried about being groped by a giant tentacle; her extensive secular experience gave her certain advantages. - Something unexpected happened on the lower levels.

- It seems so, but these ones don't seem to be too upset. What if it's... ... ... ...oh, never mind. We'll see what happens in the end.

- Well, not really... But I wouldn't want to become dinner for some ***thing. - Bajesha slapped her friend on the back with all her might and smiled approvingly and menacingly. - Come on, don't worry! If it weren't for me, you'd already be in trouble, so it's a good thing I'm here!

- Ahem... - her first instinct was to object... but in the end, she smiled back - approvingly and friendly. - Yes, I suppose you're right. Arigato.

- Aiyano, - Sonata called out to the priestess again, - there shouldn't be any enemies left on the fourth level, won't you come with me? And the others can examine this level for anything noteworthy.

- ...I understand what you mean, but are you sure? We - and they - might encounter something very unexpectedly unpleasant, as we've already seen.

- I’m sure. It’s nearby, so if anything happens, help is close, let’s go.

Klin received experience for his spouses.

- You seem to have a very weak sense of self-preservation, are you aware of that? - After holding a slightly reproachful gaze for a few seconds, the Elder addresses the Younger. - We won't be long. I'll keep an eye on this silly girl, otherwise, you know... I think I can leave these little ones with you; hopefully, they won't get hurt. Just keep an eye on them, please, so they don't eat anything off the ground, don't go where they shouldn't, don't pocket anything, and so on... In short, use common sense.

- Ha-ha... Maybe so. If I had thought a little more about my own well-being, perhaps my first life would have ended on the warm, peaceful shores of Ix, and my soul wouldn't have known the horrors of my own homeland, but you know, if I had the chance to turn back time, I wouldn't use it.

We won't be long. I'll keep an eye on this little one, otherwise, you know... I think it's safe to leave you with her; hopefully, she won't get hurt. Just make sure she doesn't eat anything off the ground, doesn't climb where she shouldn't, doesn't pocket anything, and so on... In short, use common sense.

- If we're going to inspect the other rooms together as a group, it might be difficult to notice everything. Are there any individuals we should pay particular attention to?

- If we inspect the other rooms together as a group, it will be difficult to notice everything. Are there any individuals we should pay particular attention to?

- Definitely Gnillmoor and Hugon-Matthias; they have problematic backgrounds. It would also be good to keep an eye on Leprechaun and Amirega, although I'm not sure about the latter; maybe he won't even be interested. I think that's all. The others don't seem to be suffering from a lack of understanding, although who knows... Well, there are several adults here, so I think you can handle it," she glanced at Bazhena and sighed. - Um... I hope and believe this, of course, but... at least explain it to her once. She doesn't seem to have been to places like this before," she nods. - Onegai, EdgeLord-kun.

- Ha-ha... Maybe so. If I had thought a little more about my own well-being, perhaps my first life would have ended on the warm, peaceful shores of Ix, and my soul would not have known the horrors of my own homeland, but you know, if I had the chance to turn back time, I wouldn't use it.

- Yes, I remember... Well, let's go and try to find the "reason" for this conviction.

Why hasn't anyone submitted an essay yet? I'd like to read them and see how it's done, because I've always been a bit laconic; in school, I always wrote essays in large handwriting =D

- Okay, I'll try. You be careful too, and if anything goes wrong, call me right away, okay?

Sonata and Aiyano descend to the fourth level and immediately notice that the slave cells are empty - the floor inside them has been broken through from below, most likely by the same thing that happened on the floor above. After making sure there is no enemy presence, they peek into the first room on the left.

Inside, they are confronted with a terrible sight - three elves are in a horrific state, no longer alive. One was impaled on two stakes, another was apparently stabbed in the eye and ear, and the third had many cuts all over her body. A note was hanging nearby:

"Dear comrades!

I know that sacrificing long-lived elves is a waste, but I couldn't help myself!

There is something fascinating about stopping the existence of something that, under other circumstances, would barely be affected by the passage of time!

After we deal with the unexpected enemies, my magic will definitely compensate you for this loss!

With passion, Midorik."

A prisoner runs up to Aiyano.

- Master Midorik! - he says to her. - You've returned! Well, did you deal with the pests?
It was difficult to determine the victim's gender from their appearance and hoarse voice.

- Kilika, Astellia, did you read the book about the spouses? Who did you like the most?

- I didn't read it, - Kilika replied.
- And I didn't read it either, - Astellia repeated, - is it an interesting book?

- Oh, I see the book is popular, - she said, passing by the library. - In short, who chose whom? )

"No, this is more like a hint from the world.
World, since no one is asking you, I'll ask. Who do you like the most, answer?"

- Okay, let's take a look.
Shen Shao, who had been hiding until now, appeared behind Erefir.
>Raula
- With such a woman, there will definitely be a soul-soothing comfort in the home, regardless of whether you are a simple peasant, a life-risking warrior, or a king endowed with power.
>Merin
- Life without faith in anything is the path of an animal. The monarch and the head of the church perfectly complement each other, light and darkness, male and female principles are united to lead their people to a prosperous future, magnificent!
>Patricia
- When you see these lines, only paternal instincts arise, which means that this monarch has not grown out of her childhood, sadly.
>Lidika
- A worthy, but incredibly boring woman, as evidenced by her inability to make her husband happy.
>Ranos
- Only capable of following, a king-consort is not worthy of the role.
>Ixia
- A beautiful story and a magnificent example for monarchs all over the world: they need to stay closer to the people.
>Arrosa
- A ruler who is content in their personal life has fewer reasons to worry and is more resistant to temptation, which means that the people also live better.
>Innocentia
- I know the story of how a person fell in love with a sculpture made with their own hands, and therefore I don't see anything wrong here - labor and a desire for beauty, both internal and external, ennobles a person, and a ruler with a noble heart brings only good things to the state.
>Laurentia
- Those who marry for love are just as likely to live in an unhappy marriage as those who marry for convenience, so there is nothing sad or depressing about this story. I am sure that the fate of this woman is much happier than that of most of her contemporaries.
>Welfern was not married according to Arselian rules
>Raidark was not married according to Arselian rules
>Naer was not married according to Arselian rules
- Unfortunately, even great people have flaws.
>Crystallia
- It seems that this woman was unable to inspire her husband to take fate into his own hands. This fact does not flatter her.
>Kanade
- Because of such women, men are capable of piercing the heavens with their unwavering will, moving mountains, redrawing the map, and changing the laws of the world.
>Emerardo
>Mercia
- Excellent examples of a king and queen-consort.
>Bertali
- Both the king and the queen are dark spots in the history of this great dynasty.
>Zamya
- A sense of duty, love, care... A very romantic story.

- Well, if you want to hear my opinion according to my own personal preferences, then my top three choices will be: Kanade, Zamya, Raula. Do you have any questions?

"It feels like we have a public thoroughfare instead of a headquarters. And the redhead is already paranoid about the knocking at the door. Whoever wants to come in will do so without us even noticing," Alaria said suspiciously, watching the uninvited guest who decided to share his important opinion with those present. One could only guess what else he might have heard. But Erephir's tendency to conceal and remain silent became clearer if she suspected the presence of such types nearby – "an eccentric guy, of course. He just wanted to share his taste in women."

- Well, if you want to hear my opinion according to my personal preferences, then my top three choices would be: Kanade, Zamia, and Raula. Any questions?

Before answering the strange stranger, Alaria cast a questioning glance at the commander, as if asking, "Do you know who this is?"

Hearing the last two names, Klin gave his guest an approving gesture: 👍
"It's good that the guys have a decent security system; in any other organization, they would have already attacked him with weapons. That's what trust and friendliness mean; I respect that."

- I didn't read it, - Kilika replied.
- Neither did I, - Astellia repeated, - is it an interesting book?

- It's interesting, we highly recommend it!
- I would say it's a brief summary of the imperial chronicles from the perspective of the personal lives of the monarchs. It's less of a read, but overall it's informative and quite interesting from a historical point of view.
- And romantic! Sometimes.
- And romantic, yes.

- Well, if you want to hear my opinion based on my own personal preferences, then my first three choices would be: Kanade, Zamia, and Raula. Any questions?

- Yes. Who the hell are you?
- Beata...
- And don't tell me that this question doesn't bother you too.
- Well, from that point of view...

Revan will now add the effects of the songs, and it will turn out that Shen also received buffs from them.
