- What "inappropriateness" are you talking about? I don't know what my friend said to your leader that made her kick both of us out without letting me visit the other places. But I had nothing to do with it.

The gate guard said nothing.

The lady, who had spent the night feeling satisfied and snuggled under the covers, was still quite sleepy. “Mm, good morning. Let me guess: the reason for your visit starts with an ‘F’ and ends with a ‘t’. I’d love to be wrong, of course…” What a life… not a single peaceful day! By the way, the servant was a strong, muscular man with a mustache. And he usually came with another man, who was bald.

The guard at the checkpoint didn't answer.

- Can I see Gingu? - asked Erika.

My lady, who spent the night satisfied and under the covers, was still quite sleepy.

– Mmm, good morning. Let me guess: the reason for your visit starts with "F" and ends with "t". I'd like to be wrong, of course...

What a life... not a single peaceful day! By the way, the servant was a strong, muscular man with a mustache. And he usually walked around with another man, who was bald.

– You are absolutely right! It concerns your esteemed guest... I must inform you that a few hours ago, he... How can I put it... Soiled your precious statue of the divine Arcelia... We apologize that we could not prevent this...

– Can I see Gingu? – asked Erika.

The guard at the checkpoint is silent.

- The day after the knight cut him in half, I reported it to the guard, but soon I was considered insane because my acquaintance was actually alive and well, even though he remembered what happened. However, after some time, he split into two parts again in broad daylight, but this time the knight wasn't even nearby, as if the night when he was killed had only caught up with him after some time had passed, like a curse with a delayed effect or something like that.

—So that's what happened. —Asmidul nervously swallowed a lump of burning horror. —And even after that, the guard didn't start an investigation? As far as I know, this is an extraordinary case. And one more thing... As I understand it, the knight didn't touch you either?

—So, that’s what happened. —Asmidul nervously swallowed a lump of burning fear. —And even after that, the guard didn’t start an investigation? As far as I know, this is an extraordinary case. And one more thing... As I understand it, the knight didn’t touch you either?

—And that’s the strangest part. After a while, the guard and even the witnesses simply forgot everything. Only I didn’t lose my memories; I don’t know why. Maybe because we knew each other, or maybe because I saw everything happen the first time, or maybe because I had this pendant. It’s hard to say. And yes, you’re right, the knight didn’t kill me, or at least I’d like to believe that. But given what has already happened, I wouldn’t be surprised if he did, and I just don’t remember it. It’s all very confusing.

The guard at the checkpoint remains silent.

- Fine. Then I'll write in my report that you didn't let me pass. Let Lady Rosalind decide what to do with you...

Erika goes to the hospital. There's no point in her going inside, so she simply "inspected" it from the outside.

Very much in the style of the famous Enlil artist. “Hmm, let’s go and see the extent of Lord Phainanta’s ‘white faith’,” Kamistella decided, “don’t worry, this isn’t your fault.” With a slight smile, the Lunarian was the first to leave the chambers and headed towards the statue of Arselia.

- And that's the strangest part, after some time, the guards and other witnesses forgot everything, only I didn't lose my memories, I don't know why, maybe because we knew each other, or maybe because I saw it all happen the first time, or maybe because I had this pendant, it's hard to say, and yes, you understood correctly, the knight didn't kill me, or at least I'd like to believe that, but given what has already happened, I wouldn't be surprised if he actually did, and I just don't remember it, it's all very confusing.

—...Okay, but the body of the unfortunate man didn't just disappear. —the scholar rubbed his nose. —What about written evidence? Did that vanish into thin air too? Surely, something must have survived?

It could still be a simple hoax. A common trick from the manual – to confuse and intimidate. The main thing is not to lose vigilance.

There were other people in the guild, but the main one's voice distracted from interacting with them.
- Don't bother me while I'm working, you little journalist. - Said the swordsman, not really busy. - He's conducting surveys here.

If I were a goblin, I would have defecated in front of the door.
- I didn't notice you were busy, - replied Ferrus, looking at the "working" people and what they were doing. - Well, I'll go look for people who are less busy.
Going to Mazzard.

Premium Asugukh Diary of Erika ("Blue"). Entry 2.


03.01.1001

Before the Royal Palace, I listened to a speech by the Tsar and Ikusa regarding the situation on the western border. In short, things are grim...
The Guild, represented by Archmage Misty Rosalein, assigned me to walk around the entire capital and check for magic presence...
At the square, it was announced that in some Citadel of Amusement, founded by Felicia Lungworth and located in the city of Shina in Calcita, a tournament would be held on January 12.
They also said that the Adventurer's Guild is organizing a raid on some "Thunderstorm", resembling the ship of Empress Naria.
They promised some concert by some Lunar Diva in the evening. Apparently, this refers to Kisa Sorae, whom I've read about in the newspapers. So here I stand waiting while filling out this diary...
Among those gathered, I spotted Sir Kir and his students. Paid my debt.
I headed to Muzzard, where I met my friend and "colleague" Camistella. I think Jack and Nebos will be glad to chat...
Camistella was giving some interview about some goddess Rinze, her lovers, and so on, so I had to wait who knows how long until they sold me two brand-new diaries, including this one...
But at least I got to read more details about the Citadel I heard about at the square. An interesting tournament... Maybe I'll even go...
When it finally came time to buy, I asked Cherry for a discount of 50 rems for the inconvenience caused. She didn't give it... Well, Anuzish is round...
After "all of that," Camistella and I went to the Lunarian Community. Those folks have cordoned themselves off from the outside world with a barrier for some reason... Though Camistella's presence helped us pass their "checkpoint" without hindrance. Before our eyes appeared Ginga's House, Enchanting, Halls of Nostalgia, Workshop, and some kind of Buyer.
Camistella decided to first enter Ginga's house. Ginga turned out to be the head of this very community. After a few minutes of conversation, she somehow threw us out of the community using some unknown spell. Sad times...
I begged a monocle off Camistella. A useful thing in... certain cases...
Then we went to some shop with the strange name "Three Questions"... The saleswoman turned out to be a woman from Karnia named Luka.
I bought a lamp there. It'll come in handy, I think... Turns out they give discounts for entries in a "special" little book. Though there weren't many entries in it. Actually just one: from some Genza. There was one — now there are three!
With the purchase, they gave me a free vial of "poison." That poison turned out not to be what I initially thought. Anyway, I traded it to Camistella for boots...
Leaving the shop, we ran into artist Faineant — an old acquaintance of Camistella's. Had to listen to chatter again. About scryms, Queen Lunomaria, "non-rising appendages," protrusions inserted into concavities, and so on, and so on, and so on... I understood nothing about scryms except that meeting them is dangerous for one's psyche...
Camistella left with Faineant to see her scryms, and I headed to Kuromod. But the owners, apparently, had taken off somewhere...
I didn't want to go to the temple of Nanaya, but work required it. Guild work, mind you — not the kind you, disrespectful reader who stole my diary and is reading this without permission, might have thought...
On the way, I ran into an "activist with a petition" named Gilion Presmeitin. Judging by the content of the petition, the fellow is clearly among the followers of Purian es Diesra Arual — the nineteenth monarch of Margel (if the newspapers are to be believed).
The petition is dubious, but I didn't reject it outright. I promised to think it over, and the activist gave me his home address so I could come if I decided to sign. Well, I'll think about it...
Finally reached the temple. Stood there and... left. Same with the temple of Nammu Ai. May glorious Zhusyiksidzire forgive me for visiting these places...
Went to the market hoping to find something from the mysterious star's assortment. Or at least something suitable for a respectable sorceress. Nothing there...
Visited Alastia's Studio. Alastia appears to be the name of the establishment's owner. Judging by her appearance, unlike anything I've ever seen, she's clearly an "incomer." Originally from Southern Zimivia, a member of the Crafters' Guild.
Bought a couple of figurines and went to the restaurant. Should have left Jack at home...
Attended the promised concert... The concert was good... Besides, it restores one's strength in some incomprehensible way...

-- Hmm. Uh-huh. I see, -- the calcite creature assessed the selection but decided not to buy anything yet.
Only "Phantom Shadow" remains, and we can move on.

There was no desire to answer at all, but out of solidarity for an unbiased attitude, he still said:
- Let's check.

The check turned out to be short because the over-leveled Shinobi-Shyrist one-shot the opponent, fortunately not to death. Genza turns into a Basilisk.

- I didn't even notice you were busy, - Ferus replied, looking at the "working" people and what they were doing. - Well, I'll go look for people who are less busy.
Going to Mazzard.

When Ferus left the building, one of the members of the adventurers' guild approached him.
- Excuse me, boss... I know it's hard to believe, but he's actually a very kind, caring person... If you want, I can answer your questions.

Is the attractiveness supposed to be 110 without any modifiers, given 12 beauty and taking into account the buff from the decoration?
