And wasn't Astellia with them too? At the fair, they bought everything, even that not-so-popular but very beautiful painting of a train, leaving nothing behind?
Astellia wasn't looking anywhere in particular and was lost in her own thoughts, but as usual, she decided to tidy up the docks while waiting for Erefir.
"What's the point of a fair that rushes by like a speeding train, and you don't have time to buy anything?" thought the redhead.
"I've got everything, although it turns out I could have relaxed, Amamius and Astellia have already done everything on their respective sides," she said gratefully to the maid.
"It's amazing, the city seems completely deserted," she noted, looking at the empty harbor. "But in a way, I like today even more than the bustling, noisy yesterday. You can just walk around, think about your own things... But it's better to do it in a specific direction, right? So, if you have any ideas, let me know."
-- Good day, Amirega, -- Erefir said, looking around the building with interest and finding that nothing had really changed. The headquarters was fully staffed, of course... Oh, and what is that building with gates next to it? A covered stable? No, it doesn't quite look like it... Could it be that inside is what she was thinking?
-- Is the mistress of this castle not at home? -- the redhead said without any irony, believing that a person defines a dwelling, and not the other way around, and any place with a left pillar inside should automatically become a castle or a palace. -- We were hoping for a tour, if we don't turn out to be a burden...
- Yeah, it was just a child's game... - she pulls out and shows a book about treasures. - I bought it at a bookstore for 30 rems once; as it turned out, Bors-san wrote it. You don't need to spend any more money on it; it's already useless; it's just the fact that it exists. The little book led me through half the city with riddles - it itself points to the first location, and in each new location, there was a hint hidden by the author, indicating the next one. In the end, it all led me to a treasure, where there were quite a few things, including a couple of vouchers for the blacksmith and the tailor - they made the blade and that cloak for me. Almost all of the valuables, and, uh... some of the acquaintances I made during this investigation ultimately helped me prepare for the operation with the coven and rescue you and the others from there. So, I guess it was the most useful thing I've ever read in my life.

- Oh!... Your Highness, I'm sorry for disappointing you...
- Huh? Well, I mean... - turning his attention to the employee and looking as closely as possible at her aura and face. - And you? If I remember correctly, you're already the fourth salesperson in the last few months, right? Author

-- Good day, Amirega, -- Erefir looked around the building with interest, finding that nothing had changed significantly. The headquarters was fully staffed, of course... Oh, and what's that building with the gates next to it? A covered stable? No, it doesn't quite look like one... Could it be that what she thought was inside is actually there?
-- Isn't the mistress of this castle at home? -- the redhead said without any irony, believing that a person defines a dwelling, and not the other way around, and any place with a central pillar inside should automatically become a castle or palace. -- We were hoping for a tour, if we wouldn't be a burden...
- Good day. - The Savage didn't remember either the name or the face of Erefir, but he also didn't think to ask. - I can't leave my post, so you'll have to wait. - Erefir, - the mistress of the castle waves from the window, - welcome, don't hesitate - come inside. - Well... It seems that you four have been given permission...

- As expected from Bors-san. It's amazing how simple ink on paper can influence so many lives! I should thank him too... Hmm, Aiyano-sama, what do you think, would your life have changed significantly if you hadn't read this book?Author
- Huh?.. Well, in general... - she turned her attention to the employee and, as much as possible, looked at her aura and face. - And you?.. If I remember correctly, you're already the fourth salesperson in the last few months?
- Assa Kombini, Your Highness... This store used to belong to a man named Darius; perhaps that's who you remember...Author
- Good day. - The Barbarian didn't remember either the name or the face of Erephir, but he also didn't think to ask at that moment. - I can't leave my post, so you'll have to wait. - Erephir, - the mistress of the castle waves from the window, - welcome, don't be shy - come inside. - Well... It seems that all four of you have been granted permission...
-- As expected, nothing escapes the attention of the left pillar ) -- She modestly waved in response. -- Thank you!
Lightly bowing to the guard, the redhead took advantage of the privilege granted to her and led the others inside.
- As expected of Bors-san. To think that simple ink on paper could influence so many fates! I should thank him too... Hmm, Ayano-sama, do you think your life would have changed much if you hadn't read that book?
- It's hard to say. Perhaps not so much before joining the coven, but once I was in... I think there would have been a much greater chance of my life taking a turn for the worse. And not just mine. Which could have led to a completely different chain of events than what we have now. So, Bors-san's long-term plan turned out to be truly brilliant.Author
- Assa Kombini, Your Highness... This store used to belong to a man named Darius; perhaps that's who you remember...
- I remember a boy with long hair, another cheerful dark-haired boy, and Revaipe-san. I stopped coming here after they tried to cheat me out of money... But never mind, it's all minor and in the past. Nice to meet you, Assa-san. Did I understand correctly that you are not just an employee, but the new owner?Author
- I don't like it.
- Okay. Then... - since the stock items didn't have any images, Ayano couldn't determine what would look best on Ahuli. - Which of these do you prefer? Although, probably not every one will suit, it's easier to try them on.
Inside, Erephir and her entourage are greeted by a spacious hall, similar to the Carnelian one, with various items visible in different corners: , , and

- Hmm... And you know what, this might sound cynical to you, but essentially, even if nothing had worked out in the coven, we would probably still be together... Just under slightly different circumstances. You could even say that fate brought us together. Author

- Yes, the dark-haired one was Darius. And yes, I am the owner... I don't have enough money yet to pay the seller a salary. And yes, it is an honor to be in your radiant presence, Your Highness. You are even more magnificent up close than on stage. Author
- Well, okay. Then... - since there were no images of the stock items, Aiyano couldn't determine what would look best on Ahuli. - Which of these would you prefer? Although, perhaps not every one will suit, it's easier to try them on.
- Honestly, none of these... If you'll allow me to be so bold, I would wait until there is an opportunity to acquire something better, and until then, I would go around with an empty slot.
Inside Erephir, and its accompanying area, there is a spacious hall, similar to the Carnelian one, in different corners of which you can see , and
-- I recognize true patriots, true warriors devoted to their commander, and true Baldurians, -- commented the Knight, waiting for someone so as not to wander around someone else's property. Or should she be more polite and go straight to Sonata? And where was the room from which she was speaking? If the wait takes too long, she can go there right away.
- Hmm... And you know what, it might sound cynical to you, but essentially, even if nothing had worked out at the coven, we would probably still be together... Just under slightly different circumstances. You could even say that fate brought us together.
- Yes... But I'm still glad that we ended up on a different path.Author
- Yes, that was Darius, the dark one. And yes, I'm the owner... I don't have the money to pay the seller a salary yet. And yes, it's an honor to be in your radiant presence, Your Highness. You are even more magnificent up close than on stage.
- It's nice to hear, - replies the highness, although in reality, she didn't care about the traditional, default flattery from an ordinary person. - Perhaps under your leadership, this store will be able to get back on its feet.Author
- Honestly, none of that... If you'll allow me to be so bold, I would wait until the opportunity arises to acquire something better, and until then, I would go around with an empty slot.
- At least temporarily? It's almost December, you won't catch a cold, will you?
