- The Cliff... - Not possessing the same philosophical mindset as her companion, Saneksa said. - I think... I think that all of this is irrelevant now. You have finally regained your life and can clearly envision your future path, so sad reflections won't help you now, and you should think not about what you cannot influence, but about what you need to do. And when you restore your homeland, then you can engage in self-analysis of your past, but this time without sadness and with your head held high.

- Those who don't try, don't achieve anything, right? Even if the chance is less than one percent, trying is not torture. Hope dies last... That's what they say, right? And why do I suddenly feel so incredibly bad in my chest? - Taking a deep breath through his teeth, Heinos tried to give himself a fresh look, but it didn't quite work. - What's up with you and Sonatka, you two heartbreakers? Don't be surprised, Pionych still won't shut up about his Rinzula, and considering the surnames and what happened in the coven, it's like two plus two. That's how it is, everything truly valuable and good is like stars in the sky for a simpleton from the slums - you can look at them as much as you want, but you'll never reach them. Damn... Okay, I get it. - For a moment, it seemed that the guy's eyes were watering. - Damn, I'm a loser... Forget it then... I'm going.

Waving goodbye, the musician leaves.

Carefully studying the new verses, Celesta nodded approvingly. - Yes, this will do. Thank you! It's good to know that our right pillar is not only a great warrior but also a great poet.

Having carefully studied the new verses, Celeste nodded approvingly.
- Yes, this will do. Thank you! It is heartening to know that our right pillar is not only a noble warrior, but a poet of the highest order.

-- For a good cause, I did my best, but without your motivation, I doubt I would have come up with such an idea, Lady Asukan, so I thank you very much, -- the redhead bowed and walked on.

To Amchik's exhibition.

Purian-975 (P) 10
The natural development of transport in favor of individualization, for every valuable creation should have its own master, with the maximum level of mutual understanding. Unlike a train, such a machine can be repaired by oneself on the fly, and it possesses far more flexibility. This is a responsible approach to the individual, though it may be possible to expand upon it.

Lightsaber 8
In this weapon, I must note the use of principles that are new to me (and, I assume, to many), but I have a feeling that its author rushed to apply them in the way they did. Doesn't it simply "burn" gemstones? While its efficiency may be high, it clearly is not worth such an expense. What is the point of generating a constant energy beam that spends most of its time heating the air?
I will not be intimidated by the identity of its creator; practice shows that genius and villainy are, alas, often compatible.

Paired Hand Swords 8
I won't hide that the idea of combat scissors has been in the air for a long time; there isn't much originality or novelty here. However, it is made with great quality; I want to note that the author managed to implement them so that attacks do not require lengthy preparation to place a hypothetical opponent between the blades.

Compass of Pair Attraction 10
This is the most romantic invention I have ever seen, bravo!

Two-Handed Mechanical Sword 10
Though I may be subjective, I like everything about it: the sound, the elegance with which the chains rotate, the very memory of construction with every detail thought through... The amount of precision mechanics, despite the apparent simplicity, is great and wonderfully demonstrates many properties of metal as an element.

Stilettos 10
The highest quality of leatherwork, and I hope that this praise means something coming from me. As for combat application — it is pleasing!

Extractors 1
Here I must make an exception to the generally enthusiastic tones. A warrior's blood is something they must preserve as much as the situation allows. To part with it voluntarily? Absurd and fraught with many dangers entirely unrelated to the damage received. Not to mention that it simply makes little sense, as damage comparable to health multiplied by 2 can be achieved in countless other ways, most of which would not be single-use. To fire someone else's blood, you first need your enemy to "allow" you to do so...
In total, this weapon seems intentionally made for suicide bombers, which is far from noble combat. Or perhaps for some immortal regenerating beings with protection against curses... A strange quirk.

Dakimakura (Sonata Reime) 9
This is very fine embroidery, and the person depicted in the work is a good one. The question is that I find the idea of hugging a pillow doubtful; the warm touch of a real person cannot be replaced by a fiction (and if it could, it would be even more terrifying). If only such enthusiasm were applied to creating some kind of tapestry...

Figure 10
In my opinion, life-sized statues would have been much better: they would require more effort, but would pay off both in terms of the possibility to create details and in the aesthetic effect on the surrounding interior. Still, it is beautiful, and it is evident at first glance that it is high-tech.

Amamius is reading Erephir's review. - Yes, it seems the community doesn't like the extractor mod. Listen, Erephir, could you gather reviews from other authors? I didn't think of it myself, but looking at your review and those of some other people, it seems like a pretty good idea. You seem to know them all, and of course, I'll pay you. Let's say 100 gems per person.

-- Well, can you show me the list? -- the girl glanced at the names. -- I don't know everyone; I don't know who Pion is. Also, I'm not sure where and who I would even look for.

Sonata, Cleona, and Aiyano might be available in Ideal right now? I'd like to visit them one after another, not all at once, but in principle...

-- Nevertheless, I'll try, and don't worry about the payment, okay? I'm just lucky to know people; it's not worth it.

- Pion Ssinartz, one of Sonata Realm's students, - explained the knowledgeable Amamius to her, - I still insist on payment; nothing should be done for free.

-- Fine, you win... I guess this will make me approach things more responsibly.

-- And I have two more serious questions for you, Amamius: are you against using nicknames? And secondly, when is your birthday?

- I don't mind, August 8th.

- Not against it, August 8th.

A smile.

-- Okay, I understand.

"So, almost immediately after Thais. It's a bit awkward to ask such questions later."

-- Then I hope to be back today. See you!

Will she notice the trick, that I didn't mention my birthday?

- Go ahead.
Even if he noticed, he didn't bring it up.

- Cline... - Not possessing the same philosophical mindset as her companion, Sanex. - I think... I think that all of this is irrelevant now. You have finally regained your life and can clearly envision your future path, so dwelling on sad thoughts won't help you now. You should focus not on what you cannot influence, but on what you need to do. And when you restore your homeland, then you can engage in self-reflection about your past, but this time without sadness and with your head held high.

"She certainly brought me down to earth, even my own mother couldn't have done that. Well, the village dreamer deserved it; philosophizing in the Kre'ad style is not enough to achieve a goal."

-It's not even about sadness, but about the fact that... Well, it doesn't matter, actually. I can't, for obvious reasons, leave the past behind, but what's the point of it if it doesn't look towards the future? Perhaps.

With an effort of will, he regains his former clarity of mind and nods towards the portal:
-And now I suggest we briefly visit our headquarters. Don't think it's for the promised tour, but because there's always a place to rest and have a snack, and most importantly: there are useful materials for gifts for our benefactors to suit any taste. By the way, do you have any ideas on this subject?

Well, then Erathia should head to Ikigai; it’s about time…

Arriving at Ikigai, where a music competition seemed to be taking place, Erefir catches the performance of an unfamiliar guy.

Before leaving, the musician manages to have his elbow grabbed:
- That's not true. The entire history of Anuzish revolves around how the stars descend from the heavens onto our world. There are countless stars in the sky; you've only just dared to lift your gaze, finally emerging from the dilapidated slums into the vast expanse. It's normal that you feel confused, and it will pass soon. You're not a loser; you're a talented, sincere, and brave young man, and behind your "simple" exterior lies a big heart, which many pseudo-refined, pseudo-intellectuals, who think they're the center of the universe, smile to your face but talk behind your back, can only dream of. Origin doesn't define a person, and life opens up new acquaintances and paths for those who don't stand still; you will definitely succeed and catch the star that fate has destined for you, the main thing is not to give up and not lower your gaze.
With sympathy and concern, and as encouragingly as possible, she squeezes the aforementioned elbow before finally letting them both go.

Such music, so neat... Erephir, of course, preferred something faster, but there was still something about it.

Noticing Kalina talking with the Aster brothers, the redhead greeted them, said hello to Sidonia as well, and decided to get straight to business, as the best time is always now. She spends a red star on a song uncharacteristic of her, whose mood seemed closest to her today (the foreignness of the song may not be relevant; she performs it in an understandable language as much as possible):

(until approximately 2:12)

"She certainly brought me down to earth, and even my mother couldn't have done it that way. Well, the rural dreamer got what he deserved; philosophizing in the style of the Kre'ad is not enough to achieve one's goal."

"It's not even about sadness, but about the fact that... Oh, never mind. I can't, for obvious reasons, leave the past behind, but what's the point if it doesn't look to the future? Perhaps."

With an effort of will, she regains her former clarity of mind and nods in the direction of the portal:
"And now I suggest we take a short trip to our headquarters. Don't think it's for the promised tour, but because there's always a place to rest and have a snack, and most importantly: there are useful materials for gifts for our benefactors to suit any taste. By the way, do you have any ideas on this?"

- Yes, let's go. - Agreeing to go to headquarters, she pondered about gifts. - Honestly, no. I'm not even sure if such a gesture would be appropriate for someone like me, especially after my incompetence... led to the loss of Her Majesty's beloved ship entrusted to me.

- ... Well, what are you doing, you're driving me crazy. And you know... I've already imagined all sorts of things for myself. How we decorate our new home together, raise children, and so on... What a fool. Okay. - Sighing heavily, the shy one straightened up. - Thank you for listening. And let this not prevent you from fully enjoying today. But if you change your mind, you can always throw yourself into my arms, just know that.

Now I'm really leaving.

She spends a red star on a song that is not typical for her, but whose mood seemed closest to her today.

Miyuki applauds the performer.
- The glorious warriors of the empire are not only strong in war but also in art; accept my respect.
