- Awesome, awesome, - obeying an unexpected impulse, Sonatka touched Aiyano's bicep, - you know, your arms will be stronger than mine. That's what daily work in the vast territories of the Temple does to people!

Performed by:

-- Beautiful, -- Erefir gently clapped for the performer. -- It makes you want to go on another adventure and see the sea, the ocean... And today, I was singing about a river.

"Although the context is completely different."

-- Okay, let's see what else is available. We'll narrow down the options to green stars, since you haven't earned any red ones yet... -- Arivel shows a map. -- I haven't been to Molva yet; usually, a local girl is famous for quests like "come up with insults," she's quite sharp. In Ornament, there seems to be a design contest. Lepota is a restaurant, so it should be related to that. In the palace, there's a great technology exhibition in collaboration with the Ministry of Science. XXX is a paid venue, but I don't mind spending 200 rem on you: today, they're evaluating waitresses, and the service is quite good. I would definitely visit Blagodat; I've wanted to talk to the owner of that bookstore for a long time; she's a very well-read person... Entrance to Dryada, as always, is not allowed for us girls, but there's a figurine exhibition nearby; we need to evaluate it. At the air dock, they're collecting gifts for Her Majesty Naria and Her Highness Aiyano. I don't know what's happening at the bar; Arivel, are you old enough to drink alcohol yet? -- Erefir joked about the nuances of elven age.

-- There's an art contest at the art academy; the voting is already underway. At Ideal, there's a vote for magazine covers. In the Moon Park, there are some envelopes hanging; I haven't figured it out yet; in Kamimori, you can confess for a star.

-- That's the result of our reconnaissance... Does anything appeal to you?

In some parallel time, or while Arivel was thinking, since Klin was also in Ikigai, she smiled at him and Sanex:

-- Oh, Klin ) Can I ask you a small question in private?

Whisper-whisper-whisper:

-- Tell me, are prizes with a negative number of rem legal in the empire? And if a person doesn't have such funds or property as compensation, will they really have to give a certain amount of their salary to the robbers for some time? Are there no bankruptcy mechanisms?

The Cat eagerly read the biographies of Beata and Giyion. - And why do you think that slavery is something bad? It would be nice to have an obedient slave to handle tasks during such a busy day, while I go out and have fun in the city. And in general, both texts look more like your confessions of love to each other, yuck!! And you, - she looks at Giyion, - could have stayed at home, and nothing "like that" would have happened to you. They say the truth, give a person freedom, and he will exchange it for slavery with his own decisions. Hmm... Pff... Well, well... Okay, knights, I wish you success in your new endeavor, I will send the percentage of sales to Carneola. Eh, I think the details of your stay in prison would be more interesting to readers.

- That's right, I'll be going to Crag-san as an apprentice soon, - Ayano says with a nod. - It's a normal part of an ascetic life, not like the lavish meals in a palace. But you know, for some reason, I don't feel as pleased with this compliment as I should... Shall we go then?

- That's right, I'll be going to Crag-san as an apprentice soon, - Ayano says proudly. - It's a normal part of an ascetic life, not like palace food. But you know, for some reason, I'm not as pleased with this compliment as I should be... Shall we go then?

- That's because our strength isn't in our muscles, - she winks, - let's go.

Entering the Phantom, the princess and ex-empress find a game of Wheel of Fortune just starting. The participants are Anpan, Matthias, and Jilo.

Question: the nemesis of Malaria?

Looking around the room, Sonata whispers:
- So, shall we head to the kitchen? You go for the popcorn, and I'll get the stools (because I have bigger biceps).

- Do you know the answer? I do. Okay, let's not bother the guys and check if our beauty is still there.

- Come on, I just need to exchange a few words with one of them. Attempt number three... - he sighs. - If only there was a way to prevent him from running away, because he likes to do that.

- Uh-huh, I understand. Let's go.
Sonata goes into the next room.

I haven't been to the Rumor yet; usually, the local girl is famous for quests like "come up with insults," she's quite the character.

- "Quite the character"? Lady Erefir, what does that mean?

There's a design contest in the Ornament.

- I'm not much of a designer...

Lepota is a restaurant; it should be appropriate.

- Excuse me... I'm not hungry.

There's a great technology exhibition in the palace in collaboration with the Ministry of Science.

- Maybe we can go there? Depending on what kind of technology.

XXX is a paid venue, but I don't mind spending 200 gems on you: they're evaluating waitresses there today, and the service is quite good.

- That's a strange contest. Why not food?

I would definitely visit Grace; I've wanted to talk to the owner of that bookstore for a long time; she's a well-read person.

- Then let's go there. Your word is law!

Entrance to the Dryad is, as always, not allowed for us girls, but there's a figurine exhibition nearby; we need to evaluate it.

- Why aren't we allowed in there?

They're collecting gifts for Her Majesty Naria and Her Highness Aiyano at the Air Dock.

- I have nothing to give them...

I don't know what's in the bar; Arivel, are you old enough for alcohol? Erefir joked about the nuances of elven age.

- Yes, I am!

There's a drawing contest at the Art Academy; the voting is already underway.

- We can take a look there too.

At the Ideal, they're voting for magazine covers.

- What do you mean?..

There are some envelopes hanging in the Moon Park; I haven't figured it out yet; you can confess in Kamimori for a star.

- I see...

- E... - Sonata only managed to flinch, her defenseless, open palm recoiling before it slumped.
Taking advantage of the fact that no one had managed to spot them since they entered the store, she says:
- O... oh-oh-oh? What a coincidence, guys, and you're here too? Good day. Kaya-kocho," she nods to the presenter. - My deepest apologies for interrupting, but... it's as if you haven't even started yet?" - she nods towards the empty board and the drum on the zero position. - What luck that you're all here! I'd like to borrow a student for... ninety seconds, maximum one hundred and eighty. Onegai?" - with a guilty smile, she makes a corresponding Japanese-palm gesture. - Today is such a busy day that it's hard to say when I'll have another full opportunity. I hope you understand.

- Ayanushka! Hello again! - The host ran up to the guest and started hugging her tightly. - How are you, are you having fun? The pupils exchanged glances, trying to understand who the myco-princess meant.

- Don't put your foot in your mouth? Lady Erefir, what does that mean?

-- It means they'll bite, but in an ironic sense, of course.

- I'm not a very good designer...

-- Everyone has a sense of aesthetics, so you don't necessarily have to draw yourself; you can just appreciate... But maybe later, there probably aren't enough contestants yet.

- Maybe we can go there? Depending on the technology.

-- Most of them are quite interesting: the carriage from today's coronation, matching compasses, boots...

- It's a strange contest. Why not food?

-- The food is more or less ordinary; the emphasis is on presentation and service.

- Then let's go there. Your word is law!

D
-- Don't be so hasty with such statements. But alright, let's go.

- Why aren't we allowed in there?

-- I've never wondered about that, although I heard a story about a friend of friends from Carneol trying to get in and breaking her nose. Honestly, it doesn't matter; maybe the person has some kind of psychological trauma, or maybe there's another reason. Sometimes it's just easier not to interfere in other people's business... Nose.

- I have nothing to give them...

-- It doesn't matter; they've already been showered with gifts anyway.

- Yes!

^.^

- We can also take a look there.

-- Excellent.

- What do you mean?

-- The ideal is a modeling agency; they release a magazine every month with a different woman on the cover. You have to vote for them to get the red star. By the way, you're quite beautiful; you just don't have the profession of a model... If you find a way to get that, it might be worth getting hired by them; it should be financially beneficial. What do you think?

- I see...

"It seems I've already been there. Well, since she's been in the city recently, they haven't given her any special treatment yet."

-- So, I suggest you choose, and since you don't mind taking a look at Grace, we'll go there right after your place.

- Yes, I'm happy, I'm having a lot of fun, just like at a Zadornov concert, - the grandmother hugs the other grandmother in response. - And how about you, have you had many sets since then?..

The students exchanged glances, trying to understand who the myco-princess was referring to.

- Anpan, - the myco-princess nods, then adds. - -Kun.

- Then my place will be in the Haven, - Arivell declares, and he and Erefir soon arrive there.

- Yes, I'm having a great time, I'm really enjoying myself, just like at a Zadornov concert, - the grandmother hugs the grandmother in response. - And how about you, have you had many sets since then?..

- M-m-m... This is the first one!

- Anpan, - the micro-princess nods, then adds. - -Kun.

Sighing, rolling her eyes, and shrugging her shoulders, Anpan temporarily leaves her player position behind and approaches the macro-priestess.
- ... How can a simple Kredian be of use to her radiant highness?

Moving to a private, secluded spot: - Hello. It's been a while – longer than the time between the first and second time, hasn't it? I could have told you so many things... a long time ago, but now it doesn't matter anymore; only two things matter. The first... - she pauses, and a painful emotion flickers across her face for a couple of seconds. - I beg you, never do that again. I'm talking about your gift stunt. Sonata was with me at that moment, and not just her. Do you understand how difficult it was for me to brush it off as a joke and cover for you in front of her, so she wouldn't misunderstand and think you're a complete idiot? I wouldn't want her to think that. Whatever you think of me personally based on our relationship, if you can even call it that, it shouldn't affect other people's opinions. And there was also a girl from the official team. What do you think the consequences would be if she understood what was going on and I couldn't smooth things over? It wouldn't be very good for you, but not just for you. It would definitely affect your friends and Sonata too. Do you want them and her to suffer the consequences for your thoughtless impulse? I don't. I don't think you do either. Okay... - she sighs. - And secondly... You know, despite the fact that you're just a "simple Kriedearian," you're a great young man in your own way. Because in this world, there have only been two people who have managed to throw me off balance, and you're the second of them. It's an achievement, in a way. And yet, I can't be angry with you anymore. You don't seem to care at all, as if you're not even aware or don't care, but... - for a few moments, she deflates like a punctured balloon. - I'm really sorry. I'm very, very sorry about what happened to Kriedear. I've never been there before, and I don't have any relatives there, so don't attribute any false subtext to my compassion. In fact, you don't even have to accept it; it doesn't matter to me. I know that when disasters happen, it doesn't matter where or under what circumstances. Ordinary people always suffer, and that fact alone negates any possible nuances. If you ever want to open up and talk, I'll always be ready to listen. As arrogant or unbelievable as it may sound to you now, it's not a joke – the Kami-sama are witnesses to my words. I was going to give up on you once, but now I'm not. I might even thank you for these unfortunate moments – by striking at the weak points of my heart when I was calm, you strengthened it where it needed it most. You once wanted to hear my opinion, and when you heard it, you didn't accept it; instead, you trampled on everything that was dear to me, remember? Then I told you it was a ten out of ten, even though you didn't hear my reasoning. Now I'll say it's an eight – because these events have awakened emotions in my soul that I would have consciously denied until the very end, because for a miko, such things are sinful. So, the difference is three. You were measuring the discrepancy between internal and external assessment, if I remember correctly? I can't wait for you to publish this work in a natural science journal. Anyway... What was I saying? I was saying that I'm probably justifying my harshness towards you, even though it's a negative emotion. I apologize for that, - she clapped her right hand against the palm of her left hand a couple of times. - Rejoice, "simple Kriedearian," an imperial princess is apologizing to you. ...as the sycophants would say. But, returning to everything I said... I don't think you deserve hatred. Until recently, I thought it was just a misunderstanding. Maybe now I've decided to continue thinking that way. I would like us to turn the page, if possible, - rummaging in her bag, she takes out and hands over the last chocolate cat. - This is a chocolate cat; I bought it before the operation, and after our first meeting, I wanted to solemnly give it to you, as if you were a child, as a joke, but it didn't work out. What a silly and tasteless idea... What was I thinking? - she shakes her head at the absurdity of it. - Now I'm doing it sincerely. It's very tasty and healthy, they say. You can either turn away or throw it away, or you can laugh and insult me again, or you can do all of that in your mind, as if you were sitting in the back row of school, and openly flaunt your new "title," which I never asked for, if you think it can be used against you, although that would disappoint me after everything you've done. I don't think you'll go back on that. Anyway, it's all up to you; I've turned the page, even if you've stayed on the old one. That's just the way things are now. The giggles and hahas are over. Come on, get your act together, - with her hand free from the chocolate cat, she slaps him on the bicep. - And I will too; there's no other way.
