Erika's House

When first Genza, and then Baka, left his restaurant, Alamush tried to prepare a new dish consisting of live seafood.

- No, that's hell. Having completed what he considered an unsuccessful experiment, the giant threw the creatures onto the frying pan.

If the General had looked down, he would have seen an excellent target for his gaze. “If this bothers you, I won’t embarrass such a delicate man,” Camistella shrugged. “Although, during my modeling career, I’ve been taken to various places by various gentlemen. Sometimes it almost ended badly. But, as they say, quick feet… oh, that’s a bit crude!” Perhaps Camistella could have led the General to her bathroom, and then he would have discovered that he had somehow transferred ownership of his shop to a barely-known Lunar creature. But we’re here to create beauty, not to drive men crazy. Maybe someone else will appear for the latter. Or maybe not… Meanwhile, Camistella’s thoughts were occupied with something other than plans to seduce the General. She came up with a new type of monster with tentacles. Mom will like it!

Kalamandra
Restaurant.

I disapprove.

- Heh-heh, you don't often encounter such adorable rabbits with such strong zeal and pious disposition these days, - by "rabbit," Red was clearly referring to Genza, - don't you think so, Fira? - ... - White pondered deeply and voiced the result of her reflections in a monotonous voice. - That's correct. In the "recent time," specifically over the past 365 days, five thousand four hundred people have crossed the threshold of the Shiris house, and only seven have demonstrated a greater level of respect. A. Please note that this figure refers to unique visitors, not their total number over the past year. Mm. - Nodding to herself, she continued. - Please, follow me. If you wish, you can take my hand, - she extends her hand to the guest, - other visitors said that they are warm and pleasant to the touch, bring good luck, and help to cope with fears. Unfortunately, I have no way of confirming whether this is true or not.

So, is Erika awake yet?

- Heh-heh, you don't often see such adorable rabbits with such strong zeal and pious disposition these days, - "rabbit" most likely referred to Genza, - don't you think so, Fira?

- What a terrible oversight! It is necessary to immediately restore order and bring the lost souls back into the embrace of the all-benevolent Shiris! - Genza assured passionately, very pleased with such praise. - I will do everything in my power to fulfill this important task.

- Please, follow me. If you wish, you can take my hand, - he extends his hand to the guest, - other visitors said that they are warm and pleasant to the touch, bring good luck, and help to overcome fears. Unfortunately, I have no way of confirming whether this is true or not.

Carefully taking the tiny hand in his larger, rougher one, he says:
- Perhaps you will consider this single sample too insignificant, but I already feel as if luck has smiled upon me, and I absolutely confirm their words.

To the possible disappointment of a young intellectual, as of late the library's affairs were managed precisely by one of the newly arrived Lunarians. 

Navigating the legions of bookshelves without her help was an impossible task, and so when searching for literature on a specific topic, it was necessary first to convey one's request to her. 

But there were exceptions; for instance, any visitor would have no trouble finding and understanding the bibliographies of Asuguh and Velfern. The bulkiness of the first category was natural for the country of the same name, while the second was explained by that state's significance to the entire world, and moreover in recent decades historians and other scholars had been actively studying the question of Velfern's collapse and ways to prevent a similar crisis from recurring.

"let the Fragment determine the appearance"

Someone forgot to erase a note in the margins of the book.

⛓️♿: Mom, I'm on TV!
🐱🐲: Your mother would say that her friend's son is hosting a popular show on TV, starred in three movies, eight TV series, and performed on the radio.
⛓️♿: Well, don't rub salt in the wound, okay?
🎪🏹: Author, don't upset Guyosh, I'll give you a beating, even though I'm fictional! Damn it, they printed me too!
⛓️♿: I've always said you're much smarter than you think you are.
🎪🏹: No, I'm talking about something else! My sophisticated style! Damn it, it's embarrassing! And now it's being read in another country!
⛓️♿: And we haven't received any royalties yet...
🐱🐲: By the way, you still need to receive your health insurance for the injuries. And the compensation for moral damages from Lower Lunaria is delayed...
⛓️♿: I'm willing to pay twice the amount of compensation for moral damages so that I never hear the phrases "Lower Lunaria" and "Dark Lunarians" again under any circumstances.
🐱🐲: Hmm. I don't see any autobiographies yet. Or your diaries. Guyon, by the way, did you destroy those secret pages with your reflections?
⛓️♿: ...I don't remember... I think so... Damn it...
🎪🏹: Author, why do you keep coming up with brilliant ideas?
🐱🐲: Oopsie.

Chronicles of the Empire (10 hours).
Saga of Arselia and Akonia (20 hours)

Well, why not? Karamzin's "History of the Russian State" is also noticeably shorter than "War and Peace." I can believe that.

I can add the diaries of those characters who decided to publish them to the library...

So, is Erika awake yet?

Yes.

🎪🏹: ...Guyosha, what are you doing?
⛓️♿: *slurp, plop, nom, slurp, crunch* Eating my diary!
🐱🐲: Do you realize that about 20% of the posts from the last game are jokes about your gluttony?
⛓️♿: *slurp, gulp, smack* It's worth it. Oh, a secret page *slurp, slurp, slurp*
🎪🏹: You're right, Guyosha. I didn't reveal in the diary that I shot that director based on Naria's tip, but there are things that are better left unknown, and for everything else, there are official biographies written by us in a hurry... *slurp, plop, crunch, nom*
🐱🐲: Why are you such idiots.
🎪🏹: *slurp, slurp* Herring in a frugal way: Why did you tell me such nonsense? *nom, plop, crunch, nom*
🐱🐲: ...never mind. Finish your diaries, I'll bring some tea to drink with.

-- We had a good fight. I need a little rest, and I'm ready to continue.

- You're very strong, my friend, - Gonor praised his opponent, - with a two-handed weapon, you should be able to take down a person with one hit, but you took two hits and it seemed like nothing happened. Of course, it's a pity, but I can't deny my defeat.
The next duelants were, naturally, Sheila and Illiman.

- Enough! Illiman wins!

- Sh-Sheila, are you okay? - The winner ran up to the loser and, trying to help, offered his hand.
- Ugh, - refusing the help, the loser got up on her own and turned away in annoyance.

If the General had looked down, he would have seen an excellent target for his gaze.

– If that bothers you, I won't embarrass such a delicate man, – she shrugged, as her name was... ah, right, Camistella. – Although, during my modeling career, I've been taken to various places by various gentlemen. Sometimes it almost ended badly. But, as they say, quick feet... oh, that's rude!

Perhaps Camistella could have led the General to her bathroom, and then he would have found out that he had somehow transferred ownership of his shop to a barely acquainted Lunar being. But we're here to create beauty, not to drive men crazy. Maybe someone else will appear for that. Or not...

Meanwhile, Camistella's thoughts were occupied with something other than plans to seduce the General. She came up with a new type of monster with tentacles. Mom will like it!

The General's pondering over the next answer did not lead to any result, as the silence between the two was broken by the voice of a third person – a woman who had not been present in the dialogue until that moment.
- You clumsy oaf! You forgot breakfast again!

Running up to the man, she gave him a good smack on the back of the head.
- You're completely losing it! Are you getting senile? - Finally noticing the unfamiliar Lunar being, the woman glanced at her dismissively. - And who is this?
- This is Camistella Lein, she lives here. - The General replied, rubbing the back of his head. - She's probably going to be someone important... - Sighing, he hastened to introduce the woman. - This is Yuzed, my dearest wife.
