☀️ Arselia and Akonia Auto-translated

- Economic assassinations, ethnic conflicts, broken ties... Perhaps you're right, it's better not to dwell on this, especially at the beginning of what promises to be a good day. Want to take a walk? Let's see how your comrades are doing, maybe something has changed in the city.

—"Two self-haters would turn any dialogue into negativity in a couple of posts." —he chuckled, drained his mug in one gulp, and got up from the table. —"I'll go anywhere with you. We need to update the map, and then run some errands in a few places. I don't know if you'll find it interesting, but old Creonich has probably already reached Kridea, and we can't let him down by doing nothing. What do you want to start with?"

Hmm... Have you heard of paparazzi? It's some new term for photojournalists who photograph celebrities without their permission. I hope we don't have to deal with that, because you're a new count, and I won a contest...

—"Papa-who?" Sounds like someone who first tries to manipulate people's emotions in public, and then breaks into their homes and searches their wardrobes. —shaking his head, he closes the windows just in case before leaving. —"Let's try not to run into such 'scams' right away. Oh, by the way, Sirya." —snapping his fingers, he calls the cat. —"You're a smart animal, if you smell an invisible person with a camera in our garden, you scare him away with something from your arsenal, and I'll make it up to you."

- And it's not necessary. You're already doing so much for us. This is our way of showing our appreciation.

- Still, it feels a bit awkward... But alright! Thank you again!

- Well, we can't do everything for you, only a part of it," smiled Guion. "And sometimes it's good to just relax on the couch.
Besides, physical labor clears the mind, and we could all use a break," Beata said, getting up.

- Then help me clean up after yesterday's renovation orchestrated by Klin.

- Heh... Erefir, unlike our relationship, this ring wasn't meant for long-term use – just an accessory for a day. But if you have any ideas on how to preserve it, that would be good too.

-- No way, despite my casual attitude towards things, I won't be careless in this case.

- Yeah, that's harsh. He should have gotten rid of it sooner. How many of Carneol's original members are left, anyway?

-- Turns out, there are four. Beata, Gion, Garret, and Kilika. Well... actually, that's not bad.

- That's strange, by the way. I thought she was a woman of her word, not of the sword, but it seems there's a hidden strength behind her polite smile. I hope this defeat doesn't bother you too much?

-- She uses completely different tricks that don't require muscles; I've studied them quite well in all our fights. It doesn't bother me; it's just that waiting a whole year for a rematch is so long that it's scary to think about, she says, resting her chin on her hand.

- I'm not sure whether to be glad or sorry that I missed all of this, but if Stallia is anything like Akonia, then sooner or later she will be reborn, just like Naria, right? I wonder what kind of person she will be. But how long did it take her, about five thousand years? So, we won't see her colleague anytime soon either.

-- Uh-huh.

At this point, Erefir notices that her companion has fallen asleep during the conversation, right on the roof.

After listening to his breathing for a moment, the redhead couldn't resist leaning over and gently touching her lips to the sleeping beauty's forehead. She then hesitated for a moment; she didn't want to leave him here, the city dwellers were so sensitive; he might catch a cold...

For now, he was simply covered with a cloak, but after a few moments, a large wooden box stood under the roof, either left over from the construction or from Laikos's performance, but no noise was made. The diligent nosenrot carefully stood up, carefully took the groom in her arms, and carefully carried him to an empty room, where she laid him in bed.

He didn't wake up? If not, then it's time to prepare for the accolade; Kalina will be here any minute.

- Well, then help me clean up after yesterday's renovation that Kline arranged.

- Great, let's go, - Gillon also gets up, and they go to help clean up.

- Nothing like that! On the contrary, your noble (and certainly not "old") early-silver age is the most suitable time to start thinking about matters of this kind. All of this is not intended for some hot-headed teenager to carve a path to a better future with fire and sword, but rather for a conscious person, who has some experience and a firm footing in the world, to realize that life and our place in it are not limited to what he has managed to record in his passport and upload to the database of a state supervisory body, but that any of his good intentions, even those that may not have been understood and thus deprived him of his last illusions, actually had meaning and were appreciated by both people unrelated to him and invisible observers, and are not just invented out of thin air for the comfort of witnesses, but express our collective feeling and can show you that all of this was not in vain! - After finishing her explanation, the fire in her Nihon eyes faded, and her gaze dropped. - Okay, I understand everything. I won't "recruit" you anywhere; you don't need to think that I'm one of those people. Just... if you came once or twice, it would make me very happy. If you're lucky, you'll meet Minako-chan, and just one look at her can melt absolutely any heart in a good way. She's my student. Although I'm only a few years older than her, I feel like she's the sweetest granddaughter I never had. You have Azarina-chan, Sonata-chan, Kayasa-kocho, Edgelord-kun, and me, but that's no reason to limit yourself to our circle. It's up to you, but... we'll all be glad if you draw life from some other source as well. Hmm! By the way, one of your old acquaintances is among my parishioners! Oh, I can't even imagine what your sudden reunion would look like! - hugging herself with her own arms, the priestess shivered. - Okay, okay... I've said this before - or thought it? - and I'll say it again: stop counting yourself out. If it weren't for you, do you think I'd be standing here now? Do you think Azarina, Sonata, and Kayasa would be constantly at your door? Do you think Edgelord-kun would humbly nod at the words that "he's practically our son with Gaheris"? Do you think Her Majesty, the Matriarch, would declare that the comedy is coming to an end? No! So, it's too early for you to dream of peace, and you shouldn't think that just because you're older than some of your acquaintances, it automatically makes you wiser and infallible. Nothing like that; being a bakamaitai is not hindered by age. A single cough: - Ahem! I apologize if this turned into a lecture; that wasn't my intention. I just wanted to say "thank you" for everything you've done, Gaheris (-san). Even though, it seemed, you had already given up on the future at the time we met, you still did everything you could to help those who needed it achieve a better outcome, and you yourself moved to that path, even if you refuse to accept it. You are not the first person I met when I first arrived in... that is... in Margel... who is not similar to my origin; and not the closest in blood or other similar characteristics. But I won't lie even a little if I say that spiritually, no one has been closer to me since the very beginning of June until today. If it weren't for you, I don't know where I would be now. Maybe I would have been recalled with a snap of my fingers for some foolishness... Anyway... - not knowing how to end this pompous statement, she simply holds out a single piece of Turkish delight to him.

"It would be nice if those two self-haters didn't turn every conversation into negativity in just a couple of posts." He chuckled, drained his mug in one gulp, and got up from the table. "I'd go to the ends of the earth with you. We need to update the map, and then I need to run some errands in a few places. I don't know if you'll be interested, but old Creonich has probably already reached Kridar, and I can't let him down by doing nothing. What do you want to start with?"

- Let's finally visit our neighbor? It feels a bit unsettling not knowing who we've been living next to all this time.

"Oh, by the way, Sirya." He snapped his fingers, calling the cat. "You're a smart animal, so if you smell an invisible creature with a camera in our garden, scare it away with something from our arsenal. I'll make it worth your while."

- Meow, - the cat turned away unhappily, showing that he didn't like being called that.

"She uses completely different tricks that don't require muscles; I've studied them quite well in all the battles. I'm not upset, but waiting a whole year for a chance at a rematch is so long that it's scary to think about," she said, resting her chin on her hand.

"What are you going to do if she doesn't participate next time?" he would have asked if he weren't already in a dream.

"Still not awake? If not, then it's time to prepare for the accolade; Kalina will be here any minute."

"Great, let's go," said Guion, also getting up, and they went to help with the cleaning.

As if on cue, Kalina stepped onto the threshold of Carneola; by this time, Guion, Beata, and Astellia had just finished with the morning cleaning.

- Come on, maybe we should finally visit our neighbor? It feels a bit awkward not knowing who we've been living next to all this time.

Nebok, 4 months after the last game post.

- I have been to Kamimori before, my dear, just not as a parishioner, and that is unlikely to change. - The phantom suddenly interjected. - I don't need teachings to seek and find meaning; participation in rituals requires a genuine desire. If I perform them "just for show," it won't benefit either of us, and will likely have the opposite effect – creating a rift where there wouldn't have been one otherwise. So, I can visit, but I won't "enlist." - Accepting the lokum, which was probably not very fresh, he put it in his mouth and restored 25 health points lost from smoking tobacco at an advanced age. - I am very pleased to hear this, and I feel the same way about you, but I haven't done anything. Everything you describe is the result of your friendliness, kindness, and initiative. Without you, I wouldn't have reunited with Kayasa, the Lord would have continued with his dark dealings, Azarina wouldn't have recovered, and Sonata would still be trapped in the doll. So, if anyone shouldn't write themselves off, it's you, and certainly, you shouldn't call yourself old – it's very unfair to real fossils like me.

As if summoned, Kalina arrives at the threshold of Carneola; by this time, Guion, Beata, and Astellia have just finished their morning chores.

-- Good morning, everyone, -- she says, looking around and noting that, of course, not everyone is present. -- We'll be starting soon.

-- Kalin, -- she says quietly. -- First, I have a question for you. Would you happen to be interested in becoming an active knight? I think that in the new order's reality, we shouldn't have any problems with the number of people, nor with their parallel employment; any time-tested comrade is as valuable to me as a diamond.

- No. - Kalina replied briefly.

- Boo-boo-boo... I'm just saying that there's no need to "enlist." Well, if you visited, that's fine... It's a shame I didn't get to see it. I guess it wasn't meant to be... - he says, handing over the Turkish delight, which, unlike any other food, could be stored for centuries without losing its freshness. - It's funny. Listening to you, it seems like you didn't do anything, and I probably didn't either, and Kayas-kocho would probably say the same. But who ultimately solved the problem? Some kind of holy spirit, or it just happened on its own. Yes... the ways of the Akonians are inscrutable. I guess she solved everything in the end, didn't she?

It's a good thing she doesn't have any enemies...

- Friendship and love solved the problem, - voicing a naively idealistic point of view, Kuma-san finished the Turkish delight, - I think we can leave it at that. By the way, are you hungry? I can prepare something high in calories so you have enough energy for the rest of the day.

- So, it turns out that Akonia is all about friendship and love. Who would have thought? ... No, thank you, but I've had enough energy for today. I've had two coffees and I'm barely keeping my hands from shaking in front of all these good people. In that case, I'll wait for news in, uh... - she nods towards the eastern gate. - There?... In the evening... Either there or anywhere else...
