-- Captain Lavheight? Good day. Could you please tell me, I'm looking for someone who promised to be in the Hearth, but there was a fire there last night... Do you happen to know what happened to Tosklav Khladnozimov?

- Oh, and one more thing... - Beata's face takes on a normal expression, - should I contact you regarding confession? Sorry, I don't know your name...
- That's right, you should contact me, and my name is Minako Suzuya.

- Good day. Hmm... I'm aware of the fire, but that name wasn't on the list of victims.
"Now, how to find him, I have no idea. Well, maybe he'll find me himself; he knows I need fighters."
Alright, today needs to be spent on becoming stronger and gaining more experience, but so far, Erephir has only implemented strategic tasks. Perhaps I should hurry and visit my friends, but not on an empty stomach... It's been a while since I've even had a coffee.
So, is that decided? To the only restaurant in the city that I haven't visited yet, with that strange name?
Erephir heads to XXX.
Yanagi
- Nice to meet you!
In front of everyone, without any hesitation, Beata casually inserts Guion's health-boosting omamori into an empty slot. He can only accept it and gives a slightly embarrassed smile.
After finishing this, she says a little uncertainly:
- Maybe... there are things I want to talk about. Guion, will you be there?
- Yes, I guess I should also clear my conscience. But I'll go after you.
- Okay... we both need to confess... We're ready. One at a time.

- I'm certainly no expert in ideological and philosophical concepts, but it seems to me that these people need help, if not from a priest, then at least from a psychiatrist...
In response, Sirrion cast Creation on Klin.
- I'm a boring person, brother, or maybe I'm just too old, and not much of this sounds like a place for someone like me. But alright, since you recommend it, I'll try to visit somewhere, I'll just find new homes for my furry friends first.
In a parallel reality, turning his gaze to Sanex, he opens the city map again:
—Look, almost all locations have been updated. And how do you "accidentally" stumble upon the most useful places now? Are you not tired yet? I wanted to drop by the "lair" and then take a short break at the "base" and prepare gifts. Perhaps a rather strange sequence, but something tells me it makes sense...
Erefir is going to XXX.
- Welcome to our establishment, madam. Today, even you, a woman, can be served here and even participate in the contest!
Then, he explains the following.

Minako strongly asks Beata to take off her shoes and leads her to a hidden room, where they isolate themselves from the rest of the world.
- You can start. We don't have any strict rules, so tell your story in whatever format is comfortable for you.
At the entrance to the XXX terrace, Erephir greets a woman of luxurious appearance.
- Welcome to our establishment, madam. Today, even you, a woman, can be served here and even participate in the contest!
Then, he explains the following.
—Yes... you're right, not about being "old" – you can easily live another hundred years, and I completely forgot about your lifestyle. It was wrong of me to entice a person with your high intellect with such "entertainment." —apologizing, the fellow said. —But still... today, Her Majesty officially ordered everyone to take a good rest and enjoy the day, so who knows, maybe something will interest you. And tomorrow morning, with renewed vigor, we will get back to work, that's what I think.
—Goodbye, Creon.
In a parallel reality, turning his gaze to Sanex, he opens the city map again:
—Look, almost all locations have been updated. And how do you "accidentally" stumble upon the most useful places now? Are you not tired yet? I wanted to drop by the "den" and then take a little break at the "base" and prepare gifts. Perhaps a rather strange sequence, but something tells me it makes sense...
Klinexa goes to the Den.

—You know, the fact that you are willing to pay so much attention to each visitor speaks volumes in your favor, without any contests or reviews. But I would like to participate, —she said.

Feeling neglected because almost everyone forgot about him, Anpan also goes to XXX, where he meets Erephir again. He evaluates his experience in this establishment as follows:
Oriaska - 10
Dignified and nothing superfluous.
Hitoria - 2
+1 point out of pity.
Nastya - 1
Such an outfit is permissible for only a few, and this woman is clearly not one of them.
Iyanakao - 1
Reminded me of one sarcastic priestess.
Kimika - 5
Seemed a little silly, but pleasant – it's clear that she is modest, hardworking, and won't show off.
Adara - 5
She would have a smaller neckline on the back and chest, but otherwise, it's okay.
Mirkona - 10
A wonderful waitress, and even stockings don't hurt, but rather benefit – as with another beautiful lady.
Tavava - 6
I'm not sure if I should lower the score for being so noticeable, or not. After all, she probably didn't choose to be born this way, right? Well, let's give her an average score +1 for a pleasant character.
Dia - 8
There is a little elitism, but otherwise, it's wonderful.
—Erephir Linel Darvining! —He addresses the warrior when she (presumably) finishes with her assessments. —We met again. How are you doing since our last parting, are you having fun?
- Yes, I will. Alright, I shouldn't waste your time, young ones, so go on, see you next time!
- Goodbye, Creon.
- Since it exists, let's go!
The Klinex are coming to the Hole.
Minako earnestly asks Beata to take off her shoes and leads her to the haiden, where they can be alone, away from the rest of the world.
- You can start. We don't have any strict rules, so tell me in whatever format you feel comfortable.
- I... I'm a terrible person.
After a pause, she continues:
- For most of my life, I've been nothing but trouble. I haven't done a single good thing. I've only caused problems for everyone I've met, and sometimes... - she sighs and waves her hand. - I've done so many terrible... so many awful things that listing them all would take an entire day. I've always been alone, and no one cared about me. If the world doesn't care about me, why should I care about it? - she gives a bitter smile. - But that's not an excuse. I... I guess I just didn't bother, I couldn't and didn't want to live any other way. It worked, and that was enough for me. I even...
She glances at the exit, behind which, as she knew, her beloved was leaning against the wall - though not trying to eavesdrop.
- My meeting with Guion... He... I... I took advantage of his vulnerable state, and he had no choice but to go along with me, - she carefully chooses her words, preserving the essence. - And I pressured him and continued to exploit him because he had no choice. Now he has a choice; he can do whatever he wants with his life, but he's still with me. I'm grateful to him for that, but sometimes I feel like I don't deserve such treatment. Especially from him. He's the best person I've ever met, and I don't feel worthy of him.
She takes a breath.
- Anyway... Not too long ago, I decided to change my life. I started to value people more, made friends - you could even say I found a family. And... I like it. I like making people happy; their joy and smiles turned out to be much more valuable to me than all my previous gains, acquired by causing others harm. I'm doing everything I can to... balance out my past? To try to bring as much joy to people as I once caused them pain. Even more, if possible. But...
She buries her face in her hands.
- But I have this feeling that I'll keep causing people trouble even against my will. Some of my actions almost cost Guion his health and even his life. He gets angry when I blame myself for it, but I can't shake the feeling that I'm responsible. And my friends, my good acquaintances... They suffer or die. Just yesterday, when I was preparing for the circus performance and gathering people - a maniac infiltrated the group of actors and slaughtered half the troupe! - she angrily punches her knee. - And I could have prevented it, but I didn't! I turned out to be a... bad organizer, I didn't take care of the actors' safety, and people died because of me! I didn't want that, God knows, but it happened, and I can't help but feel responsible. And when we fought the monster that destroyed the city center... I had a cat, and it died in that battle. It... I was definitely responsible for it; it was my cat, given to me by a friend, by a friend whom... whom I also didn't save! I could have saved her, I could have saved both of my friends, but I chickened out, and I would have had to sacrifice other people to save them both... I don't want that. I've already caused enough harm. I want to do only good. Enough. Just enough, I just want to somehow atone for my guilt before the gods, before the world. I don't want anyone around me to suffer or die; I don't want to be even indirectly responsible for it... Maybe... Maybe I'm just made to do evil, and all my attempts to change it are in vain...
At the last words, she couldn't hold back and burst into tears.

—See you, buddy. And if you change your mind about the scouting mission, you know where to find me. Good luck, and... thank you. Thank you for everything.

Pion Ssinartz wanders into a tech expo and decides to share his extremely important opinion.
Purian-975 (P)
In the world of the One and Only, flying ships have long since filled the skies, while we are still only inventing ground transportation. Do I need to say anything else?
Light Sword
No matter how hard you try, a sorcerer is not a god, and he cannot reach truly great heights; an invisible ceiling cannot be broken through with whimsical gadgets.
Paired Hand Swords
Let the pagans amuse themselves as they please, as long as they don't interfere with the divine plan.
Compass of Paired Attraction
The only compass a person needs is a moral one, and it can only be heard from the lips of the Immaculate and Benevolent.
Two-Handed Mechanical Sword
Only the sick fantasy of someone devoid of the divine within his heart could have created such a cruel weapon.
Daggers
Shoes are an instrument of beauty, but not of war. They should inspire awe and delight, not serve as a means of killing. An abomination.
Extractors
The land on which such a weapon will be used on a massive scale deserves only extermination.

Klin parts with 152 rems in favor of Creon.
—Tell me about myself?... Hmm, is this some kind of fortune-telling, but cooler and more real? —he read through the persuasive list with interest. —After meeting Father Eugene, I began to believe in such things as much as I believe in the goddess-mother. What about you, Sanex, don't you want to know about yourself? The price, of course, is steep, but... —he folds his hands in front of him with sad thoughtfulness. —I have spent my whole life uselessly running around in search of my calling, because running is all I know... and can do. I tried to learn the art of war, but it wasn't the "peaceful" hobby that I was able to devote my life to... or death. I turned out to be an average servant, to put it mildly. A commander somewhere between the Credearian foothills and the seabed, a merchant... not a merchant. Perhaps today is such a magical day that even I could finally find an answer to which spiritual direction I should move in? And even better, if it will be useful for the future of Crede. But I won't lie, — first of all, for myself. On the other hand, then the factor of disappointment arises, — not everyone likes the "truth" about themselves. ...What do you think, should I take the risk?...
