- So I took it and passed it in one fell swoop!— But there is nothing! she responded and complained to Elune: “Can you imagine, Dima made a dirty trick even on our first date.- You? she frowned.- De no! Alena replied nonchalantly. “He soaked the girl who put him in jail well in water!”I even lost my jaw.“Yes, where…” I protested.“From there,” she stroked my chest and continued again: “Can you imagine, I’m such a fool, I came on a date, and this Corsican drowns a girl I don’t know in the fire extinguishing system!”- Where? On a date? The goddess didn't understand.“No, he hacked everything remotely, well, he monitored the process,” the girl giggled."Understood," Elune nodded. - So what happened?“Since a lady is involved in this matter, I must omit the details,” I spread my hands. - And the result is that I really did not calculate, and now it can get hot in here.- It will be safe here! the Goddess said. And in other places..."Would you like to stay at home for a while?" I as

“I thought that you and I were the same field of berries,” he chuckled.“Actions are more important than words,” I shrugged.“Then business,” he said.- Why didn't you get a report? I was surprised.“From the moment you were told that surveillance was off, what happens behind closed doors happens behind closed doors,” he explained.- And you come, - I invited, - I will give you a candle, you will stand next to me and hold it.He stopped abruptly and turned to me."I'll hit you," he said.“The main thing is not to overdo it,” I said."It's okay, I'm in a diaper," he replied calmly.I summoned the Spirit and wrapped myself in a protective shell."And I'm in the tank," I said.“Rogue,” he summed up, continuing to glare at me.“Listen, why did you do all this? I asked, unrolling him by the sleeve to continue moving.“I explained it to you,” he said angrily.“Yes, yes,” I agreed. — I heard all this dregs about the fact that she needs a protector. But, you see, everything turned out to be e

I made the jump. Not far, just three meters. I found myself in a bright hallway and turned around to see a figure standing at the intercom screen in a thick dressing gown and a scarf tightly covering her head. She, realizing that there was no one on the screen, jerked around. Her hands were in gloves, on her face was a mask and a veil on top so that even her eyes could not be seen.“It looks like it’s cold in your apartment,” I said, looking around. “Honestly, I was hoping to find you naked here.“And what would you do to me naked?” she asked in disbelief.- Well, what do dashing guys like me do with beautiful naked strangers? I asked.“If you saw me naked, then you would have a bear’s disease,” Alice promised.“I don’t believe it,” I clapped my hands.“And you are insolent,” she rasped, and slowly, clearly looking into my eyes, pulled off her gloves. I stepped towards her, carefully took her once burning hand in mine and kissed it. She trembled, but did not take her hands away, and I

- So? I didn't lag behind.“And then four mobile groups with heavy weapons are ready,” he said. “As soon as everything starts, I will give a signal…”“And they will magically appear in place?” I asked.“The estimated time of arrival is five to seven minutes,” Pavel promised. “In the city they will obviously cover us, so I hope we won’t be attacked in the city…”“Well, okay,” I agreed. — Where is your clunker?As he promised, no one attacked us in the city. Pavel said that he "copied" an extraneous observation, but the spies kept far enough away that they could not be identified. When we left the city limits and passed the spaceport, it took off a little higher and spread its short wings, going into cruise mode. According to him, those who were guiding us fell behind for a while, apparently confused, and he slowed down, at the same time moving away from the eight-level main road into fields where huge agricultural machines were crawling.He was saved by a bad premonition that I had at

I breathed on the cannon at the base, trying not so much to melt it as to jam it, while ignoring the periodically exploding heat-seeking missiles in front of my nose. Finally, I succeeded - I’m not sure about the “jammed”, but the thick gunmetal at the base of the gun became white hot, and I managed to bend it a little to the side with my paw. Now, now it is suitable for urban battles - it can shoot around the corner! I again exhaustedly settled down to rest, sadly seeing off the departing hits. Damn, but with health, I still had a bubble!I took out the Small Vial of Healing and drank it in one go. Well, what is a hundred units for my scale? Cheerfulness accumulated, and I flew up, wondering what to do. The mana seems to have also accumulated, and I can summon another Healing Spirit if I turn into a human. At the same time, however, something can fly to me, demolishing the remnants and taking my health into a deep minus ... I didn’t want to think about a “deep minus”. I automatically

Alena went to freshen up, and we finally, by collective efforts, finished preparing the morning feast. Elune traditionally made her divine pastries, which each time was different, but no less delicious for that. Dumplings, buns, croissants, puffs, cheesecakes and sills - none of this, once tried, was absolutely impossible to refuse. Most likely, they also gave some kind of buffs, but I did not receive any messages about this, and explained my daily high spirits by the presence of charming companions in my life.“My father-in-law wanted to meet me today,” I interrupted the concentrated silence during breakfast.Elena looked at me in surprise.- Do you have someone else besides us?- In terms of? I didn't understand.“Well, don’t you think that the fact that you were my first man gives you the right to claim something more?” she teased me. - He has a father-in-law, you see ...I made an offended face and pouted my lips:- Well, I so dreamed of a ring on my finger and rich dough! I mutte

And deprive her of the man she loves? No, please. And I do not advise you to tell.“Good,” Ivanov sat up straight again. - One more moment...“Wait,” I said. He looked at me in surprise. Did I just shut up one of the most powerful people on the planet? Things, however! You are growing, Mahan, both above yourself and above others. True greatness is not in who you are, but in whom you can send ... - I have a request to you.A predatory expression appeared on Ivanov's face. Well, still, finally, the feigned unmercenary, aiming at the dowry of his daughter, showed his true face and now he will start asking. Whether money, position - it does not matter, the main thing is that you can buy it and demand to stay away from the heiress. I sighed. No, what the hell, anyway! Not everyone thinks like Ehkiller and Barsina! I need to learn to believe in the good in people...“I'm all ears,” he said.“Here is the email address in the game of a woman named Elena,” I handed him the communicator, touchi

“And you’re in good health, if you’re not joking,” said the Evil Dwarf.Are you too busy? I asked."Too much," he snapped.— Viltraks! I called. “Send the portal for the Evil Dwarf, do me a favor!”I took the Flute by the hand and we went to meet the guest.“Well, what the hell…” he began, barely falling out of the portal, and then he looked from me to the Flute and back, and suddenly began to smile.I got sick.- Finally! he said in the voice of a kind uncle. - And then he came up with - torturing the unfortunate girl! - he came up to me and did something completely unbelievable - he stood on tiptoe, hugged me and patted me on the shoulder. Has the fortress fallen at last? Oh beauty! He put his hands together in tenderness, looking at us.“Um…” I said. - Thanks.“Listen, can we talk about this?” he suddenly suggested.The thought was actually interesting.- What, three of us? Flute asked.- Yes, well, what are you? he waved his hands. I'll call the people now.“Wait,” I stopped him,
