“By starting to believe in miracles,” Elune suggested. - Understand? Believe."I'm…ready," he breathed, looking into her eyes. Kamal, frozen in admiration, looked at the ship, which was first shrouded in a bluish haze, and then began to rise up, releasing its nose from earthly imprisonment, in which it had spent a century and a half. The inhabitants of the town unanimously poured out, watching how the giant, obscuring the sky, again lies on the carefully leveled ground, laid in a form in which its contours fit, as if he was born in this cradle. When the Shamrock lay down and froze, the crew burst into shouts of joy and applause.“This is such a small miracle,” Alena commented.“Well, anyway, comrades,” I tried to interrupt the awkward pause, during which one side kept trying to fall to its knees again, and the other pretended that nothing special had actually happened, “what’s next?”Darius gathered himself and began to speak:“Now we have three droids. They sent me a preliminary repo

"Are you mad at Priestess?" I guessed.“Yes, I was terribly angry,” she confirmed. And my time is running out."Don't worry about it," I tried to calm her down. - The world did not converge like a wedge in real life.She pulled away and looked into my eyes.“I just want you to really love me,” she said. - Like a Flute, like ... But I can’t - an emotional outburst will kill me! You and I are still not...The flute behind her looked at her dumbfounded, and I, apparently, had no better video recorder.“Wait,” I said, “but what about our “solitudes” with you?“No jokes with time, Shaman,” she said sadly. All this is happening in your imagination and mine. What is REM sleep?I froze. Every time it was so ... real, so real, and now she tells me that we practically did it with each other's brain. I leaned over and squeezed her in my arms, tearing her off the bed.“Sorry,” I said. - And I, the fool, did not even bother with this question. Sorry!The flute behind her also knelt and clung to he

I grabbed her by the shoulders and lifted her up, holding her in front of me.“You are the most dear person to me,” I said. “I never give a damn what you think."Let me go," she begged grimly. Instead, I pulled her to me and hugged her. “Well, okay, that’s not bad either,” she agreed, wrapping her arms around me. “Tell me, are you ready to part with… with the others, since I am so dear to you?”My heart sank. Break up with Eva and Natalie? Even if they decide to leave on their own… And they may well, given the composition of the meeting committee… It will just break my heart. I love them both."Yes," I said in an unwavering voice. “You are dear to me, and I am ready to part with them.She looked into my honest eyes. I knew for sure that nothing was reflected on my face at that moment, but I could not appease the treacherous heart that was pounding in my ears like a tocsin. Alena gently stroked the top of my head."Nice try," she said sadly. - But, you see, it was destined for me to sp

No one has tried this drink besides me, and I am only in the game. In some ways, it resembled that golden ambrosia that Elune sometimes treated me to, although it was no comparison. Ambrosia hit immediately on feelings, and Special Imperial - through associative links. When I drank it when I was Emperor, for some reason I remembered Natalie's eyes and Eve's hair. Now Alena's perky smile and Elune's aura of radiance have been added. From one sip, I immediately felt good, as if I had landed in paradise. The diners and the butler froze next to me with dreamy faces.- Awesome! whispered Alevtina Fyodorovna. — What is it, Dima?“A little bit of a miracle,” I smiled.“He’s a magician,” Alina remarked, unsuccessfully trying to drive a happy expression from her face."It's true, it's a miracle," Ivanov confirmed with a serious face.Gradually, under the "Special" and a million carefully prepared and served snacks, a leisurely conversation ensued. No one tried to force me into it, and I just s

“Magic, Shaman, does not appear in a vacuum,” she explained. “The power of the Goddess does not come from nowhere. If you want magic, you have to work hard. If you want to help your Goddess, then you need to accomplish a feat. Show that you are ready to do the impossible for her...Without giving me a chance to say anything more, she opened a portal and disappeared. I looked at Alena in confusion."Don't worry," she patted my shoulder. - If it is necessary, then it is necessary!“Okay,” I nodded. “When you get out, refill the cartridges for me, okay?”"Aren't you going to leave the game at all?" she rolled her eyes.“No,” I shook my head. “You are right—something important is happening and my Goddess needs help.- Which one? she smiled.“The one with the pointy ears,” I replied to her smile. “Listen… Do you remember that girl I skated in Anhurs?”“I remember the girl,” she nodded. - I don't remember the name.- Rastilan. I asked your father to bring her next week…” I said.- Why? Alen

“It seems to me that we need to apply the union, and you and I will make a slot right in the ground,” I suggested. “I have a recipe for making a slot for a stone, and I just need to make the same one, but the fact is that the carrier of the slot is the whole of Barliona, and it simply won’t fit into my Constructor.- An association? - the Evil Gnum thought again and laughed: - Barliona, you say, in the Constructor? Okay, let's join. What should I do?“Just sit next to me,” I pointed to the ground next to me.Indeed, something I had not thought before that I would slot Barliona. That's why, of all the simple solutions, I always choose the most difficult one, and even one that, at the mere memory of which, uncontrollable hiccups will overcome me? I called the Spirit of the Water Truce, that is, Merging, that is ... Ugh! In general, we started the association.There were no penalties for me this time - my Shaman rank had already reached the caps. The Barliona imitator habitually warned m

After leaving the game, I immediately fell asleep - the instructions I received from all interested parties were completely unambiguous. How long I slept, I don't know. When I fell asleep, it was morning, and when I woke up, it was also morning. However, there were differences - I fell asleep alone, and when I woke up, girlish bodies pressed against me from both sides. I carefully lifted my head and looked around. Natalie and Eva Or Eva and Natalie - it depends on which side to count. Although I tried not to disturb them, they immediately, almost simultaneously, started up, crossing the attentive glances of two pairs of eyes on me.- Woke up? Natalie asked in a tone that didn't bode well.- Did you get enough sleep? Eva added sarcastically.- How long did I sleep? I asked, and felt my throat completely dry.“Almost a day,” Natalie softened.“Wait a minute, I’m here,” I said, jumping up and noticing in passing that they had as many clothes on as I did. "Just a minute, don't go anywhere

“And about how then for another two months she was engaged in a systematic siege of the fortress,” Natalie finished for her. “About the conversation with Anastaria, about Elune, and about the fact that your defense eventually fell.“Yes, it just broke for the sake of appearance,” Eve muttered, still not raising her eyes. - You yourself told me after leaving that Alena would definitely tie him up for our return. So, they flew...“Yes, it would have happened anyway,” Natalie chuckled. And the blind could see. It just happened faster and with less drama.“So,” Eve said, “the capsules arrived, they were quickly installed for us, and we entered the game. While I was looking around in Altameda, we reached the portal, and we were transferred to the place where you performed the task, ”she glanced expressively in the direction of Elune.“They marveled at you, wandering in a trance across the steppe, stood next to me,” Natalie added. - Evelina is hacking with low-level ones, I heal her and hel
