- That strange elf from the beauty contest keeps bothering me. The one who didn't reveal her name... - says Jingo to Yuyhe and Katharine, while the others "scatter in different directions." - What "headquarters" was she talking about? I know of 4 headquarters, besides the "fire mages." And they are all human...
Jingo suggests that his companions visit all 4 human communities and find out if there are any elves working there, either on a "permanent" or "temporary" basis...

- Don't be so harsh on him. Hekizo fulfills my will, and therefore, he won't attack without my permission... Well, given the recent revelations, this isn't entirely accurate, and I should clarify – in cases where it happens before my eyes and doesn't threaten the harmony of Ikazkan, – the speaker's voice held a hint of reproach directed at the sword. – But considering the current circumstances, whether your friend is alive or not won't change anything in the grand scheme of the future. Yes, in this state, he might cause trouble for some unfortunate soul, but it's not my place to take preemptive action. Why don't you try to bring him back to his senses and prevent a possible disaster? People are given life only once, and it should be treated with care.

—Oh, I remember now. Are there any other options (if there are)? And what's the price?
There was only one option: Magical tattoos, +10 to defense, +10 to elemental defense
- Someday, when I return to the surface, I will definitely remember other designs... There is no price.

- I can't get that strange Sylph from the beauty contest out of my mind. The one who didn't reveal her name... - says Jingo to Yuyuhe and Katarina, while the others "scatter in different directions." - What "headquarters" was she talking about? I know of 4 headquarters, besides the "fire mages." And they are all human...

- Which place should we choose first? - Katarina asks.

Aren't those the tattoos whose owners always died? —Well, let's get them then, maybe girls will look at me more cheerfully! By the way, I'm looking for a way to the surface... Well, not right now, but in general. By the way, my name is Dor. And what's yours?
- Which location should we choose first? - asks Katarina.
- Probably one of ours. We can also find out if there are any other "headquarters" in Ikazkan or its surroundings. Maybe we just don't know about them...
They go to the Community of Collectors. They inquire about the availability of Ivilae on a "regular" or "irregular" basis, as well as the presence of other "headquarters" besides the Fire Mages, the four human communities, and the newly established "Osha headquarters".

- It's me... Koin. If you find a way out, call me, Dor. I'm already tired of living in this darkness; I miss the sea air. And these ivilaiks are practically torture devices. The thing rises and hardens, but there's nowhere to put it. Koin ruins tattoos Dorian's skin.
—Looks great, thanks! —he preened, admiring his reflection in a nearby puddle. —The air? And you, do you remember anything from life "before"... I mean, "above"?
- Probably one of ours. We'll also find out if there are any other "headquarters" in Ikazkan or its surroundings. Maybe we just don't know about them...

- There's Zai, an artist. - Says Utsuva. - We sometimes use his help when we need to supplement the text with illustrations. I don't know anything about headquarters; it's too general a term.

- Only general concepts. It SEEMS to me that at our place, tattoos were either mandatory or prestigious.

- Where can I find him? - Jingo understands that this Zai is most likely "without decorative breasts" and probably doesn't resemble that ivy-like creature, but just in case, he asked...

What about the mouth?…
You're all perverts...

- Just general concepts. It SEEMS to me that having tattoos at home was either a must or a sign of prestige.
—Cool! But I don't remember anything, it's like I've always been a mongrel dog. Although, no, sometimes the sky appears in my head, but maybe my brain just came up with it from a random image. Maybe it doesn't even exist. —He waved his own thoughts away.
—But I understand you, Koin, I'll definitely call you! If this whole idea works out, which is not very likely... By the way, how long have you lived here? We are exploring sector A, hmm, why did they call it that, by the way? There don't seem to be any signs anywhere. But in general, if you know what to expect ahead, that would be a great help.
- Where can I find him? - Jingo realizes that this creature is most likely "without a decorative chest" and probably doesn't resemble that ivy-like being, but just in case, he asked...
- He has something like his own studio in sector A11.
- I understand, I understand. "Come back when they kill him." That's certainly fair, but... what if I agree with him? This "friend" is just a debtor, a servant, much like your Hakizo, except that unlike yours, he will be free from this after paying a thousand gold coins. So far, he has only acquired one gold ingot; I don't know how many coins that is, I need to figure it out, but it's clearly not enough. That's how much I valued his life back then, and it was done fairly, without any interest. And I think now he himself wouldn't value it for a copper coin. But his thoughts seem fair to me – from his point of view. Looks at the sword and its owner: - You just don't understand because you're not warriors. I wouldn't have understood it myself before. Honor and similar concepts, invented in their heads, are really important to them. They don't think in terms of "every life is valuable"; they weren't raised that way. Their life is as valuable as the life of their opponent – whether they have defeated him or he has defeated them – but only if both have maintained honor and considered their duel fair. His self-importance faded a few weeks ago; the only thing keeping him afloat was the memory of Kanau. And now, that memory has finally been sealed.
Chernika looks at the duo for a while, then is surprised by herself and shakes her head. - Uh... Hmm? Honestly, I don't know why I was trying to explain this to you just now. In the moment, you two seemed like ordinary, understanding interlocutors, and only now did I remember who you consider yourselves to be, living at the top of this tower made of negroid bone. Shakes her head. - I have nothing more to say to either of you. Do as you see fit... and may God judge the result, she adds, clutching a cross in her hands, even though she doesn't really believe it, but feels a personal need to support the theory of the "friend." She leaves in the same direction.
