Beata and Gion arrive at Dryad and find a suspicious group there.
Added 10 minutes later Morning
- I flooded the competitor, - Nihonochka commented on the dog-like ratings. - Well, as they say... - she couldn't come up with what to say in such cases, instead bragging about the flowers. - There! What do you think this is?
Reimiechka slightly closed her eyelids but didn't bother to comment on the attempt at interethnic provocation
- This is something that shouldn't be shown in the presence of lonely women, or they might cast a spell on you, although someone in your profession might not have anything to worry about
- Thanks for the advice, but that's not what I meant. It's a kind of dog rose, or rather, a local variety of it. Can you imagine? Somehow, it ended up here and is now growing in the forest near the capital. Who would have thought.
- Good day! - A fellow creator got distracted and accidentally set someone's clothes on fire. - Baldr's School? Hmm... No, I'm just expressing my gratitude to the world for my wonderful healing, and it seems fluffy friends have gathered around me again. Meet them!
—What a sudden, secret ✹ event. Hmm, are they fireproof? Well, let's get acquainted! —graf "extended a paw" to each of the cats. —By the way, I should also be polite: Creon is my companion, Sanexa; Sanexa is Creon.
—So, "Brother" was right... Then I'm very glad that you are okay. Perhaps today can rightfully be called the day of healing for creators! —pausing for a moment and thinking about something, he adds: —..I'm not sure if you were at the coronation and aware of the latest news...?...
- Thank you for the advice, but that's not what I meant. It's a kind of dog rose, a local variety. Can you imagine? Somehow, it ended up here and is now growing in the forest near the castle. Who would have thought.
- Hmm... While Sonata was deep in thought, contemplating the flowers, Cleona's head popped up from behind her. - Oh, we had those growing back home; they were even used in some food recipes. Where did you get them?
- Even you? Hmm... - she repeated the gesture of deep contemplation. - Yes, it grows somewhere around here, we just need to look for it. It's a common species, you see - she nods towards the figurines. - Did you have those?
- I don't remember, but I wouldn't have them in my house anyway, so even if they were there, I might not have noticed them. Meanwhile, your trickiness didn't go unnoticed by me – I asked not where they grow, but where you got them in this... - Well, well, Cleo, - Sonata threatened her new friend with a finger, - shouldn't a girl have some secrets? - Okay... Where should we go next?
Without dwelling on this dialogue, Aiyano replies:
- We can take a look at the abundance, see what's available today, - saying this, she nods to Ahuri.
Having spotted Ayano among this suspicious group of five, Guyon gives her a friendly nod, but otherwise, the couple doesn't want to interfere – let the people relax and have fun; they clearly have their own company and their own atmosphere.
"I wonder if she'll like my painting?" Beata said, a little worried. "I did draw a bit even before I officially became an artist, but I'm still not a super-pro. And I don't know her very well. However... I tried my best, and my conscience is clear."
The couple turns their attention to the figurines.
"Oh, they're so beautiful! And are these the hidden items from Dryad? And why aren't they shown to women? They're so cool!"
"Well, I can understand why they're considered to be aimed at a male audience," Guyon said mysteriously.
"Pfft, I think anyone, regardless of gender or orientation, can appreciate beauty, style, and well-placed hands!"
"Yes, but some outstanding features might embarrass people."
"Well, that's their problem; if they don't like it, they don't have to look. I'm certainly disappointed by the lack of male figurines, but the female ones are good too!"
Guyon can easily read Beata's Napoleonic plans in her eyes – plans to open another good twin brother – and he's a little worried about who and in what form will pose for the first batch of figurines.
"And are you the master?" Beata asks the guy behind the stand.
-- Hello. Could you please tell me more about the essence of this teaching? Or this faith, as it should be called?
- Good afternoon. - Minako, who was absent at the coronation, did not recognize Erephir as an important figure, but still greeted her with a bow and a smile. - Before I answer your question, I think you will agree that worshiping the Goddess-Mother Anuzish is not a "faith" or a "teaching" in itself, right? After all, even without delving into deep philosophical reflections, the fact of Anuzish's existence is self-evident. The same applies to Kamimori, but if you still need some designation, you can use the name "Temple of Yanagi". The primary task of Kamimori is to provide cultural and aesthetic nourishment and spiritual support to people. If you are interested in the spiritual paradigm, imagine that Anuzish is Empress Nariya, and the Kami are her advisors. - Miko-san mentally prayed that she had not angered Kami and Aiyano with such a comparison. - Empress Nariya is one, very busy, and may not always hear the requests of everyone, but her advisors can respond for her. Therefore, we pray to the Kami - the gods that surround us everywhere. They are like the lesser brothers of the four elemental gods.

Well, nice to meet you! - graf "extended a paw" to each of the cats.
The Lord did not greet the Count, and his gaze demanded offerings. Sonic was too lazy to react to him, and only Sirrion "extended a hand" to Kline. Author
By the way, I should also be polite: Creon is my companion Sanexa; Sanexa is Creon.
- Hello, Sanexa, it's very nice to meet you. - Likewise. Author
So, "Brother" was right... Then I am very glad that you are okay. Perhaps today can rightfully be called the day of healing for the Kredeans! - after a slight pause and thinking about something, he adds: - ...I'm not sure if you were at the coronation and aware of the latest news...?...
- Unfortunately, my friend, I was confined to a hospital bed, so I missed everything.Morning
Without dwelling on this dialogue, Aiyano replies: - We can take a look at the abundance, see what's there today, - saying this, she nods to Ahuri.
- I want this figurine, - she says about the Sonata-mini to Suyen, - how much does it cost? - Unfortunately, it is not for sale. - And I want you to make an Aiyano-mini, - Ahuli joins in, - what do I need to do for that? Suyen seeks salvation in Aiyano's eyes because Sonata was discussing with Cleona the idea of going to the abundance. Author
- And are you the master? - Beata asks the guy behind the stand.
- Hello. No, I'm an apprentice - Suyen Vanderlast, nice to meet you.
The master didn't greet the count; his gaze demanded offerings.
Typical cat. Feed me, biped!Teriteri
- Hello. No, I'm an apprentice - Suyen Vanderlast, nice to meet you.
- My name is Beata, this is my boyfriend, Gillon, and we're very pleased to meet you! Since you're an apprentice, there must be some works among all this beauty that you personally contributed to, right?
- Good afternoon. - Minako, who was absent from the coronation, didn't recognize Erephir as an important figure, but still greeted her with a bow and a smile. - Before I answer your question, I think you'll agree that worshiping the Goddess-Mother Anush itself is not a "belief" or a "doctrine," right? After all, even without delving into deep philosophical reflections, the existence of Anush is self-evident. The same applies to Kamimori, but if you still need some kind of designation, you can use the name "Temple of Yanagi." The primary task of Kamimori is to provide cultural and aesthetic nourishment and spiritual encouragement to people. If you are interested in the spiritual paradigm, imagine that Anush is Empress Nariya, and the Kami are her advisors. - Miko-san mentally prayed that she hadn't angered the Kami and Aiyano with such a comparison. - Empress Nariya is one, very busy, and may not always hear every request, but her advisors can respond on her behalf. Therefore, we pray to the Kami - the gods that surround us everywhere. They are like the lesser brothers of the four elemental gods.
-- Is that how it is? I never would have thought that the world is so complex, even in terms of unseen entities. Or do the priests actually see them? -- Erephir replied, completely oblivious to the lack of importance, but even if she had noticed, she would have been even more calm. -- Or maybe they manifest in some other way? Hmm, don't think I'm testing you, I'm really just curious.
"I've seen the effects of many different entities on Anush, whether they are singularities or... Well, actually, that's all there were. How do these Kami differ, and are there any similarities to my own experience?"
- The rustle of the wind, the crackle of the campfire, the sound of flowing water... Each of us can see and hear them, but if you are burdened by something unseen – a curse or an evil spirit – you will have to wait for the return of the kannushi, the high priestess of the temple. I cannot solve such a problem for now, I apologize.
- A breath of wind, the crackle of a fire, the sound of flowing water... Each of us can see and hear them, but if you are burdened by something unseen – a curse or an evil spirit – then you will have to wait for the return of the Cannushi, the Temple's high priestess. I am not yet capable of solving such a problem, I'm sorry.
-- No, no, I'm not burdened, not at all. Thank you for the story.
After this explanation, the Nozenrotka couldn't help but thoughtfully touch her steel gauntlets and cast a quick glance over her shoulder at Rok. These items were clearly no worse than wind, water, and fire; in other words, the novice was saying that her, the blacksmith's, idea of imbuing her creations with soul might not be so purely poetic after all. Perhaps Laikos wasn't wrong to greet the hammer. To be honest, it was hard to believe, but on the other hand, where is the line between soul and spirit?
Alright, let's assume that's accepted. There is one more question, perhaps it's a good time to ask it now.
-- Please tell me about confession. Do you perform this ritual only for followers, or is it not mandatory? Are there any specific features of your confessions? What is their purpose?
