- I was in charge of assembling and painting, right?
- So, we owe the contemplation of beauty to at least two people - you and your master! And also to those charming girls that you captured in these images! - Yes, the sources of inspiration turned out to be very recognizable and colorful, - Gillon nodded. - I like these works. - Uh-huh, uh-huh, all the figurines are just top-notch, one better than the other! Oh, and we were at XXX not long ago, and they asked us to rate the waitresses. And since we can rate real people, then we can rate your figurines too, right? Although, I like them all! - Well, I'm a perfectionist, I'll find something to criticize 😅 But the quality is really good, and the images are pleasant. Are they really carved from wood? - Gillon looks closely, without touching them and trying not to breathe on the figurines.
- 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?
- They are needed to receive good advice specifically regarding your problem, or simply understanding and support. This does not obligate you to anything, but who knows, maybe you will find something here that will help you escape the darkness?Author
- Uh-huh, uh-huh, all the figurines are amazing, one is better than the other! Oh, but we visited XXX not long ago, and they asked us to rate the waitresses. And since you can rate real people, then you can also rate your figurines, right? Although, I like them all!
- That's right, you vote on a ten-point scale, and I give you ✹ in return.Author
Is it carved from wood? - Gillon peers closely, not touching the figurines with his hands and trying not to breathe on them.
- No, no, not from wood, but from a mysterious white substance. I confess, I never managed to find out from the master where he gets it. Look:
- They are needed to get good advice specifically regarding your problem, or simply understanding and support. This does not obligate you to anything, but who knows, maybe you will find something here that will help you get out of the darkness?
-- No, no, I assure you, I feel right at home in the darkness, my lady. -- Wasn't the performer's name written on the price tags? Oh, I think it was. -- Minako.
"Okay, I'll turn to the spirits, or to anyone, right now."
-- I understand that you respect the sanctity of confession... Then I would like to share something with you.
- That's right, you vote on a ten-point scale, and I give you a ✹ in return.
- Oh, we can do that!Teriteri
- No, no, it's not made of wood, but of a mysterious white substance. I must admit, I never managed to find out from the master where he gets it. Here, take a look:
Gideon cautiously examines the mysterious white substance, hesitating to take the vial in his hands. - Perhaps, it's a mystery that should remain unsolved, - he mused thoughtfully. - Thank you for the explanation, it clarifies a lot. It doesn't look like wood, or even metal, which is what made me curious. - Yes, wood has a completely different texture and fibers; it's very difficult to create such fine details with it, - added Beata, recalling her experience helping Erefir. - It's a very convenient substance! I'm sure it will find many useful applications in the future!
The couple steps aside and begins to examine the figurines, jotting something down in the forms. They stand in a way that doesn't obstruct the view or bother anyone.
- I want that figurine, - she says about the Sonata-mini to Suiyen, - how much does it cost? - Unfortunately, it is not for sale. - And I want you to make an Ayano-mini, - Ahuli chimes in, - what needs to be done for this? Suiyen seeks solace in Ayano's eyes because Sonata was discussing with Cleona the idea of going to the Abundance.
- Hmm, listen, dear, is it really that important to you? After all, you always have the original nearby.Author
Recognizing Ayano among this suspicious group of five, Gion nods to her in greeting, but otherwise the couple doesn't want to interfere with them - let the people relax and have fun, they clearly have their own company and their own atmosphere.
Noticing a familiar face in the chaos of the event, Ayano also nods and raises her hand in greeting. At first, she wants to approach and exchange a few words, but hesitates, seeing that he is not alone, but with some beautiful girl. She is pulled out of this micro-stupor by Ahuli, who tugs at her sleeve and asks some question, and she is completely distracted from this encounter. And besides, it's not worth disturbing the couple, let them have fun and relax in their own atmosphere today... ... ... ... However, taking advantage of a quiet moment, she still reproaches herself for such cowardice; if not now, then when? And resolutely walks towards them: - Gion-dono! Konnichiwa, - she nods and smiles again. - You look good; I am very glad that you have recovered. Apparently, your luck was indeed balanced out in the end.
Minako-chan nods and leads Erefir into the hideaway, first asking her to take off her shoes.
- Please, don't rush and speak freely, but don't force yourself to say things you don't want to.
They were completely alone here.
-- Okay... -- the girl pondered. Was it right to burden this fragile novice? They seemed to be offering it themselves and luring her with promises, but still... Oh well, whatever happens, happens. -- I'm a person who is used to living fast and spontaneously, and I'm usually fully prepared for various surprises. And if I'm not prepared, I take them in stride, whether they are good or extremely sad.
-- But what if the circumstances affect not you, but the people for whom you are responsible? Again, the simple answer is clear: try to fix everything as much as possible, but what if things are even worse? Simply losing loved ones, comrades – in our military business, this is actually common, although I'm probably very cold if I can perceive it this way. The question is, what to do and what to think if someone suffers directly as a result of your actions? You see, if such a situation arises, then... I don't even know how to preserve the memory of that person, it seems like it should be done, I always do it, but it starts to sound somehow blasphemous in the context of my guilt. I didn't foresee, I didn't figure it out, I didn't read the hints... Everyone in the world loves to pity me, so I'll say right away that this is not a fabrication of someone who likes to take everything on herself, but the truth, at least one person I trust perceives it exactly the same way – the last part is about Naria.
-- In the context of all this, even the fact that I came to you for confession to resolve what seems to be my problem sounds ambiguous to me, because my own thoughts should be the least of my concerns. And yet... Maybe something can still be done this way?
However, seizing a quiet moment, she still reproaches herself for such cowardice; if not now, then when? And resolutely walks towards them: - Gion-dono! Konnichiwa, - she bows and smiles again. - You look well; I am very glad that you have recovered. Apparently, your luck was indeed balanced out in the end.
- Good day! Congratulations on... Your new status? 😅 Yes, I'm not complaining yet, but I try not to tempt fate unnecessarily; I don't really like to take risks. 😅 By the way, - he gestures to his companion, - meet Beata. - Congratulations, Your Highness, and it's a pleasure to meet you! We somehow missed each other last time 😅 - Beata decided not to mention that they missed each other because she was languishing in a prison cell, not the most pleasant part of her biography. - And it's great that I can say in person... Thank you! Thank you very much! - she nodded meaningfully at Gion.
Well, I'm trying to come to terms with the loss of Alaria by distracting myself with everything and going into deep denial, and Ment is just overthinking things T_T
- Well, alright... - Onyka sadly lowered her eyes. - I understand...
- But, but! You're craftier than you let on, aren't you? You've already used this method today. You can't fool me with sad eyes twice in a row, - she casually waved her hand and crossed her arms over her chest, standing there for a while without showing any disinterest, and then with a sigh, she asked the young man. - But just out of curiosity and for general knowledge... Does the master work this way on commission? Does he accept design requests? This is a very serious question because I see that the level of designs... varies slightly, - she nods towards the exposed stern of the Sonata (on its figurine). - And if so, how much would it cost approximately?Author
- Good afternoon! Congratulations on... Your new status? 😅 I'm not complaining yet, but I try not to tempt fate too much; I don't really like taking risks 😅 By the way, - he nods to his companion, - meet Beata. - Congratulations, Your Highness, and it's a pleasure to meet you! We somehow missed each other last time 😅 - Beata decided not to mention that they missed each other because she was languishing in a prison cell, not the most pleasant part of her biography. - And it's great that I can say in person... Thank you! A huge thank you! - she meaningfully nodded towards Gion.
- That's absolutely right; it wouldn't be good if all your efforts went to waste because of some trivial thing. Unfortunately, in our world, this happens more often than we would like. - Yamagami Aiyano, - an introductory bow. - It's a pleasure to meet you; Gion-dono mentioned you to me. Finally, I can put a face to the name. Thank you for the congratulations, but please, let's skip the formalities; I'm not particularly used to it in this way... - she nods to both of them. - Even though we haven't really seen each other, I have a feeling that we've known each other for a thousand years. Probably, it's the aura of camaraderie from our previous encounters and, uh... our employer. Yes, let me also congratulate you on your appointment. She can't be accused of stinginess, but trust in people is not her main trait, let's just say. Therefore, the fact that you were appointed speaks volumes about your organization. Whatever hardships and difficulties you have experienced so far, you have ultimately earned the recognition of Her Majesty. Glancing at the place where Giyoshi once emerged, from which a fragment came out, she says: - As for Gion-dono, don't worry; I just did what I could and what was expected of me in this matter. Anuish and Kami deserve the credit for this miracle. And, of course, your husband - he is very strong, and first and foremost, it is his concern for you that helped him endure this ordeal. Uh, yes, I apologize if I'm interrupting your time together. I just thought that not saying hello after finding ourselves in the same location would be a waste...
The Lord didn't bother to greet the Count, and his gaze demanded offerings. Sonic was too lazy to react, and only Sirrion "extended a hand" to Kline.
—I understand, the coolest bonus requires you to run around like a wild boar to get the most expensive food. —To the Lord. —Don't pretend, you were just galloping like crazy. —To Sonic. —Oh, it's clear you're a hardworking guy, no need for any tricks. —To Sillione the Second. —Hmm, I keep forgetting to ask, what's your attitude towards pets?... —To Sanex. Author
- Alas, my friend, I was confined to a hospital bed, so I missed everything.
—Oh, are you sure you're ready for such fiery stunts? —he looked worriedly at his comrade. —It's a pity, the ceremony turned out to be very open, mm, not quite the right word, frank, no, no, "sincere," that's it. Even "heartfelt," there probably haven't been any like it in the chronicles... But if I briefly summarize the news, then... Her Majesty declared today a day of celebration, and you've probably already noticed the many events, and you even organized one yourself... Also, my comrades—those who overcame the death of Kridear—were made knights of the right pillar for the defense of the empire, and the second heroic squad in the service of the Empress became the left pillar. By the way, I met Anpan, whom you told me about; it seems he's also among them—a very polite and charismatic young man. And we also have a new princess now—Aiyano. I don't know if you've heard of her before, but according to my information, she's also a person of the highest qualities. The new Temple outside the city is her doing.
—And as for the rest... —he took a deep breath. —First, it turned out that on my last mission, I was cursed by a villain and became undead. And today, Her Majesty miraculously healed me with her power. So, when we first met, I wasn't quite myself, or rather, not myself at all, but somehow there was no opportunity, and I didn't have the courage to tell you about it. It's not very "earthly," so I apologize. —He lowered his head guiltily for the tenth time that day. —And secondly... Her Majesty appointed me Count... well, in general, I'm in charge of restoring Kridear. So now we really have a real opportunity to revive our homeland! That's about it, if I haven't missed anything.
- Alas, there is no cure for guilt and the sadness it causes; you will not find it here, in church, or anywhere else. Only time can heal such wounds. And yet, let me say that you seem to me to be a strong and energetic person, and in order not to waste all your fighting spirit in vain, you need to set yourself up to become a winner. But you need to win not over other people, but first of all over your own weaknesses. Therefore, ask yourself – did you intend to harm this person? If so, repent and try never to do so again... But if not, then accept what has happened as it is, resign yourself to it, and finally decide for yourself whether you are ready to continue the path of life you have chosen, or not. Remember that your guilt towards this person should not overshadow another – your duty to yourself, your loved ones, and the society of which you are a part. Obsession with the ghosts of the past impoverishes the personality and makes it unhappy.

- No-no! You're more cunning than you let on, aren't you? You've already used this method today. You won't fool me twice with those sad eyes, - she said casually, waving her hand and crossing her arms over her chest.

This is a very serious question, because I see that the level of designs... varies slightly, - she nods towards the exposed stern of the Sonata (on her figurine). - And if so, how much would it cost approximately?
- Hmm... It all depends on the design. - The young man also looks at the exposed stern of the Sonata (on her figurine). - Let's do this: you tell me your wishes, and a little later I will tell you what the master said. I think we will see each other again today.
- That is absolutely correct; it wouldn't be good if all your efforts went to waste because of some trivial matter. Unfortunately, in our world, this happens more often than one would like. - Yamagami Aiyano, - a formal bow. - It's a pleasure to meet you; Giyon-dono mentioned you to me. Finally, I can put a face to the name. Thank you for the congratulations, but please, let's dispense with the formalities; I'm not particularly used to it in this context... - she nods to both of them. - Even though we haven't really met, I have a feeling that we've known each other for a thousand years.

Uh, yes, I apologize if I'm interrupting your time together. I just thought that not saying hello after finding ourselves in the same location would be a missed opportunity...
- I also have the feeling that I know you! Although, it might be because Giyosha told me a lot about you. Giyon covered his face with his hand, but his trembling shoulders made it clear that he was trying to suppress his laughter. - And thank you very much for the congratulations! We are happy to serve Her Majesty and strive for the good of Anuzish! - Beata smiled solemnly and stood at attention - her joy and pride were genuine, despite the deliberately theatrical gesture. - Thank you, we tried, - Giyon simply nodded. - And you're not interrupting anything! We're also relaxing, and we're always open to communication and new acquaintances. - We just didn't want to take you away from your company; it's clear that you're also having a great time with... the Left Pillar of Margel and your other friends, - Giyon hoped he had chosen the right wording. He gave a short, polite bow to the aforementioned company, and Beata followed his example. - Only, um... Giyoshi and I are not officially married yet, unfortunately, although we plan to fix that soon! As soon as the Patriarch recovers!

-- I had no such intentions, -- she replied to the only question. -- But you know, without any intention, one can end up completely alone one day. For some reason, each time this picture seems surprisingly more and more real, although it is nothing more than a mindless extrapolation...
"But not entirely unfounded in past experience."
-- And yes, you are right, of course. Thank you for your kind words, but tell me, what do you think is the fate of those who leave us? This is where we cannot see anything clearly, and we have to rely on our inner feeling and a few miracles to penetrate this realm. Can the living do anything more for those who are no longer with us? Something that would be a tangible benefit?
