-- So, until tomorrow.
Ushumgallu heads home. Fortunately, the day was full of impressions, and thoughts of the dark knight soon faded into the background of his mind.

They're already all taken...
- Hello, - the shop owner immediately realized that Insho was a first-time customer, - my name is Sviryepka Chernosledova, nice to meet you. I sell collectible cards. Hmm... They are sold in sealed packs, so you won't know which one you get until you buy it. Right now, it's the first season, and there are three collections in it - Nariya, Akonia, and Toyokawa. If you can collect a whole set... it will be great! One card costs 5 rem, by the way.

- Yes, that's fine.
The woman didn't say that anyone could have done this job and that she offered it to her more out of pity than out of a real need for these services.
- Here's your 1 gem, thank you for your work.

—Mmm! —he mumbled, stuffing his cheeks full of rice. —You were pretending, but the meal afterwards was delicious! And I've heard something about Asahina... Ah yes, I think they besieged some former Welfern province last month. We don't have any problems with them, do we? Do you happen to know?

Having finished eating, he turned to the fish. —So, they're also acquainted with our king? It's interesting, is this just a coincidence, or did he travel a lot in the past?...

Wiping his mouth, he reached for the herbs. —I've always been curious about fishing. For some reason, it seemed to me that for a person with my temperament, this activity could be very fulfilling. Nature around, peace, tranquility, different thoughts come to mind. But somehow, there wasn't an opportunity in the capital... Do you think I could get into this art?

- Maybe I should take a nickname like that too? Genza, phantom-godslayer? Heh-heh-heh, - the young man chuckled again, then said. - Boss! Or... boss lady? I have a couple of questions! Yesterday, some jerk came here, all in black armor, and he broke the law in some way, and he was completely wrong. We would be super grateful for any information you have. Don't worry, it won't affect you. We just want to have a little chat with the guy. He hurt a young girl, and that's not right. Maybe he didn't understand the situation, but we need to sort it out. Imagine your little sister is hurt by someone for no reason at all? That's what I'm talking about. It was early in the morning, around 6-8 o'clock.

- My name is Insho Vseshchelova! Nice to meet you! Hmm, I have a feeling that Asmidulu would like to collect cards... But unfortunately, I'm not a fan of that, and I don't have any money right now. By the way, do you know where I can find a part-time job in the city?

- Thank you. You said that I can come and go at any time. How many hours a day do I need to work?

The morning of the next day arrives! Ushumgallu is still quite alive and hasn't started turning into undead...

- No, I'm sorry.

Requires 100 experience points and 10 hours to learn.

- On the contrary. As far as I know, Mikoto Asahina and Asagiri Tokitaka are good friends of the king. And, "mikoto" is their local term for monarch.

- He used to. He said that as a ruler, it's unacceptable not to know the country and its people, but in recent years, he has hardly left the capital.

- Fishing is a way to provide for yourself, and it's also an art and meditation... You'll never go wrong with it. I think there isn't a person in this world who couldn't learn it. The main thing is time and desire.

—That’s great, so we won’t be without rice for our main course for now! Perhaps this is even worth visiting the capital’s market; I am definitely interested in expanding my bland cooking skills with such a generous side dish. —The empty plate served as confirmation of these words.

—The more I read and hear from others about our king, the more it seems to me that there is some secret involved... Or is it just the side effects of adult life? —he shrugs.

—So, I was not mistaken in my assumptions. Thank you for these encouraging words! As soon as I have a free day, I will immediately set out to find a suitable body of water. —then he suddenly stopped: —Oh yes, I guess I need to buy a fishing rod and the necessary equipment first, right?

- Okay. Then I’ll work for a couple more hours. But first, I would like to ask you... Have you ever seen anything like this? - replied Erika, showing the "tablet".

Around six in the evening, the expected guest arrived at Insho’s temporary residence.

- Hello, mysterious stranger.

...And that was strange, because Ushumgallu was sure that if the black knight could turn ordinary reality into a nightmare, then catching a person in a dream would be even easier for him. However, instead of supernatural nightmares, everything turned out to be ordinary nightmares.
This time, Ushumgallu left the house before half-past six. Looking around for the black knight, the Calcite resident briskly headed towards the halls.
