Valdira's World (GKN7)

Chapter one

Royal de Cannet - the most luxurious expensive restaurant occupying the upper fourth floor and the roof of a large building crowning the top of a hill located just outside the city center.

The roof is partially covered by a transparent glass canopy resting on fancy forged racks. Glasses barely noticeably differ in color, on tables, chairs, couches and other furnishings, a trembling, gentle rainbow gently floats. Crystal wind chimes, suspended above, are quietly ringing, emerald birds with red crests sitting in golden cages are humming in chorus.

All together brings peace, drowsiness, relaxes ...

A note of dissonance is brought in by a skinny bald elf sitting on a table covered with a pink silk tablecloth, trying to shove a golden fork into his nose and muttering something about the natives.

The shaggy huge mammoth Kolyvan, towering behind Orbit and devouring a three-meter ficus with the remains of so beautiful flowers, does not really fit into the atmosphere of a luxurious restaurant ...

Well, yes ... everything is according to the laws of modern fashion. Is it possible to go to a restaurant without a home mammoth? What do you! People will laugh!

Although this mental humor I squeezed out of myself mechanically, according to some old ingrained habit. In fact, I was absolutely not interested in what the mammoth was doing here and what Orbit was doing. Literally just now, I distributed all the free stat points, and then chose the first specialization, thus taking another step towards becoming a Grand Navigator. However, a step is only a step. And to the finish line to stomp for a long time. Therefore, now my thoughts were busy with a miscalculation of options, and I also tried to combine the incompatible with the impossible. And while I was here collecting my stupid thoughts in a shapeless pile, my girlfriend was fishing, and I did nothing to help her. Which also speaks not in my favor.

But there is certainly no malicious intent - I was not going to linger in my private room, but the trouble is that my daughter woke up and did not want to sleep anymore. The quiet hour is over. The little goddess will deign to be interested in teddy bears, sweets and the divine throne in particular. Who should provide all this? The first two points can be assigned to the Black Baroness - but not desirable! - but the third point is entirely on me, if I want to raise my digital daughter as a sweet, kind, good and bright goddess. This is unambiguous - I was not going to turn the child into an evil monster like Guorra.

By the way about the goddess Guorra ...

Hmm-hkm - I coughed, drawing attention to myself.

ChB responded to my call only on the third attempt, before that, being completely absorbed in lisping with the child.

A? - her usual harsh look, covered with a light pensive nebula, looked at me.

You need to start your own! - I muttered edifyingly - And the real ones!

Aha-ah-ah - Orbit gave out a wide, toothy smile - Aha-ah-ah ... up to this moment-ah-but not good-ah-ah ...

Orbits! I'll bump my bald head with an ice pick!

With a chuckle, I did not go into details, coughed again and asked:

Is it possible to negotiate with the goddess Guorra?

Light - no! To man - no! - ChB instantly cut off and her ragged brother nodded affirmatively, adding to a short summary:

She is a bloody maniac murderer-ah-ah-eh-er ... a real woman-ah-ah! ..

Before you decide to get married, first visit a psychiatrist - I sincerely advised.

Already looked-I-yadyval! They are all for some reason ...

Orbits! Then somehow you will tell about your happy childhood! - ChB brushed aside and, taking a bowl of ice cream from the waiter who came up, handed it to the child - Is Daughter in Guorre's rivals?

That's right - I did not hide it, rubbing my face with my palms.

And Snesse? - the leader of the Sleepless squinted. - Guess?

I guessed it - he nodded again, running his palms up and down his face, as if pulling off a mask. I was tired today, I was wound up.

Opening my eyes, I almost jumped back in surprise - the girl's face froze close to mine. A couple more centimeters and we will merge in a gorgeous kiss, after which Kira will break my head with the already mentioned ice ax - if he finds out, of course.

Ring on a finger. Bone. Ros, where did you get it from? - ChB's voice was as even as always, but his eyelids trembled treacherously - or so it seemed to me. In an instant, the Baroness returned to her “position” on the square scarlet carpet, where my daughter was eating cherry ice cream.

Gift - I shrugged - Friendly. So about Guorra ...

What's your friend's name? Or a girlfriend?

What's with this ring? - I got so sick of today that I didn't want to beat around the bush - Does it annoy you? Or are you interested? Are you very interested? BW, either speak fuller and fatter, or don't ask.

I’m very interested in where you got this bone ring on your finger, ”ChB said softly.

It does not give invisibility - I grinned - Don't be so nervous. And the Nazguls do not hunt him.

Here you are mistaken, dear-dear Rosgard - the Black Baroness smiled subtly - Such personalities are hunting for this ring that the Nazguls next to them are just harmless and extremely cute ghosts. Where did you get the ring, Ros?

About Guorra - I am assuming - I came to ask about Guorra and you agreed. Let's not skip? And then I still have to be in time for the cannibals before dinner.

Do you want to be their dessert?

More like a bone in the throat. They tried to devour me just a couple of hours ago - and they choked!

Rather, they spat it out because of your bitterness and callousness - the head of the Sleepless snorted and sharply turned serious - I give you full clan information about the goddesses Guorra and Snesa. All we have. Everything to the last point, to the last piece with secret squiggles - I give my word that nothing will be hidden. And in return, you tell me how, where and from whom you received the bone ring. Deal?

Why is a mammoth here? - I asked lazily, looking languidly at the huge carcass of a prehistoric elephant.

Sighing in sorrow - ChB understood perfectly well that I was leaving the topic beautifully - the girl explained:

In Valdir, any pet acquiring something very good, at the same time acquires something negative. So that life does not seem like heavenly manna. In the case of Kolyvan - stubborn, no, even stubborn affection for my brother. However, I'm sure Orbit could have persuaded his cute little animal to wait at the entrance ... but he didn't want to persuade, right?

Sku-u-u-schno - the bald elf shrugged his shoulders.

Well, yes - ChB nodded - Of course it's boring. But the restaurant manager will have enough blow right now ... Orbit, if your damn mammoth doesn’t eat enough and tries to eat something else, be sure - I’ll pull a gold fork out of your impudent nose and use it to scrawl some extremely indecent word on your bad bald head!

Kla-ah-ah-s ... - Orbit rejoiced.

Shall we order him a couple of banana palms? - suggested the Black Baroness.

Oops, ... but now she is off topic. Rather, he pretends that there is no trial.

My plans are crumbling - it was my turn to sigh, at the same time trying to give my face a manly tragedy. Or tragic masculinity? I don’t know ... in general, I concocted on my face the very expression that my dad had when my mother resolutely removed from all the ceilings and walls models of ships and pennants, because of the abundance of which it seemed that we did not live in an apartment, and in the naval museum. It was then that dad looked at mom with just such an expression on his face ...

Neither with my mother then, nor with BW now, the trick failed. But I got the answer.

Grew, how did you want? - the head of the Sleepless was surprised, choosing the most ripe apple from a wide vase and handing it to my daughter - Until that moment, we had everything bash for bash, as the harsh men say. Take, for example, Outland - we paid the agreed amount for permission to participate in this exuberant fun. Tomorrow evening, full settlement, get empty bags for gold coins. For your participation in an equally fun swim to the distant lost mainland as the Great Navi, it is our combat research fleet that is leading - and for this we are ready to pay without stint. Do I or the Sleepless owe you something besides this? M?

Should still like - I grinned evilly - They are watching me! Your quiet ones! Don't you think it's annoying?

Game moment - brushed aside carelessly BW - Nothing personal. And no perversion associated with the contemplation of your not particularly plump ass.

And thanks for that - I involuntarily snorted - That's just ...

Well-o-o-o ... - Orbit thought - She-e-whisper just ra-a-shouts when he is sent-a-ay to look at behind-a-hell Rosa ...

A? - I gave out in complete stunnedness.

A?! - came wildly fiercely from the ceiling, something green and bushy fell down. A moment later, the hanging flower bed of rhododendrons that fell to the floor jumped up and repeated so furiously - Huh? A? A!?

The knight's armor, frozen at the door, stirred with a creak;

So here he is, what a Whisperer Shalunishka ...

Yes, nifiga like that! - the enraged flower bed of rhododendrons jumped to Orbit and, grabbing him by the collar, shook him madly. Kolyvan, who trumpeted the mammoth, immediately took offense and grabbed the Whisper disguised as a flower bed by the scruff of his trunk and also shook what was urine. As a result, the bald elf was rocked in the air with a vengeance. The ghost of the crabber leader, who jumped out of the void, snapped a golden claw and tried to bite off the mammoth's trunk. Kolyvan roared so that the dishes rattled on the tables. Nikog ...

Valdira's World (GKN7)

Chapter one

Royal de Cannet - the most luxurious expensive restaurant occupying the upper fourth floor and the roof of a large building crowning the top of a hill located just outside the city center.

The roof is partially covered by a transparent glass canopy resting on fancy forged racks. Glasses barely noticeably differ in color, on tables, chairs, couches and other furnishings, a trembling, gentle rainbow gently floats. Crystal wind chimes, suspended above, are quietly ringing, emerald birds with red crests sitting in golden cages are humming in chorus.

All together brings peace, drowsiness, relaxes ...

A note of dissonance is brought in by a skinny bald elf sitting on a table covered with a pink silk tablecloth, trying to shove a golden fork into his nose and muttering something about the natives.

The shaggy huge mammoth Kolyvan, towering behind Orbit and devouring a three-meter ficus with the remains of so beautiful flowers, does not really fit into the atmosphere of a luxurious restaurant ...

Well, yes ... everything is according to the laws of modern fashion. Is it possible to go to a restaurant without a home mammoth? What do you! People will laugh!

Although this mental humor I squeezed out of myself mechanically, according to some old ingrained habit. In fact, I was absolutely not interested in what the mammoth was doing here and what Orbit was doing. Literally just now, I distributed all the free stat points, and then chose the first specialization, thus taking another step towards becoming a Grand Navigator. However, a step is only a step. And to the finish line to stomp for a long time. Therefore, now my thoughts were busy with a miscalculation of options, and I also tried to combine the incompatible with the impossible. And while I was here collecting my stupid thoughts in a shapeless pile, my girlfriend was fishing, and I did nothing to help her. Which also speaks not in my favor.

But there is certainly no malicious intent - I was not going to linger in my private room, but the trouble is that my daughter woke up and did not want to sleep anymore. The quiet hour is over. The little goddess will deign to be interested in teddy bears, sweets and the divine throne in particular. Who should provide all this? The first two points can be assigned to the Black Baroness - but not desirable! - but the third point is entirely on me, if I want to raise my digital daughter as a sweet, kind, good and bright goddess. This is unambiguous - I was not going to turn the child into an evil monster like Guorra.

By the way about the goddess Guorra ...

Hmm-hkm - I coughed, drawing attention to myself.

ChB responded to my call only on the third attempt, before that, being completely absorbed in lisping with the child.

A? - her usual harsh look, covered with a light pensive nebula, looked at me.

You need to start your own! - I muttered edifyingly - And the real ones!

Aha-ah-ah - Orbit gave out a wide, toothy smile - Aha-ah-ah ... up to this moment-ah-but not good-ah-ah ...

Orbits! I'll bump my bald head with an ice pick!

With a chuckle, I did not go into details, coughed again and asked:

Is it possible to negotiate with the goddess Guorra?

Light - no! To man - no! - ChB instantly cut off and her ragged brother nodded affirmatively, adding to a short summary:

She is a bloody maniac murderer-ah-ah-eh-er ... a real woman-ah-ah! ..

Before you decide to get married, first visit a psychiatrist - I sincerely advised.

Already looked-I-yadyval! They are all for some reason ...

Orbits! Then somehow you will tell about your happy childhood! - ChB brushed aside and, taking a bowl of ice cream from the waiter who came up, handed it to the child - Is Daughter in Guorre's rivals?

That's right - I did not hide it, rubbing my face with my palms.

And Snesse? - the leader of the Sleepless squinted. - Guess?

I guessed it - he nodded again, running his palms up and down his face, as if pulling off a mask. I was tired today, I was wound up.

Opening my eyes, I almost jumped back in surprise - the girl's face froze close to mine. A couple more centimeters and we will merge in a gorgeous kiss, after which Kira will break my head with the already mentioned ice ax - if he finds out, of course.

Ring on a finger. Bone. Ros, where did you get it from? - ChB's voice was as even as always, but his eyelids trembled treacherously - or so it seemed to me. In an instant, the Baroness returned to her “position” on the square scarlet carpet, where my daughter was eating cherry ice cream.

Gift - I shrugged - Friendly. So about Guorra ...

What's your friend's name? Or a girlfriend?

What's with this ring? - I got so sick of today that I didn't want to beat around the bush - Does it annoy you? Or are you interested? Are you very interested? BW, either speak fuller and fatter, or don't ask.

I’m very interested in where you got this bone ring on your finger, ”ChB said softly.

It does not give invisibility - I grinned - Don't be so nervous. And the Nazguls do not hunt him.

Here you are mistaken, dear-dear Rosgard - the Black Baroness smiled subtly - Such personalities are hunting for this ring that the Nazguls next to them are just harmless and extremely cute ghosts. Where did you get the ring, Ros?

About Guorra - I am assuming - I came to ask about Guorra and you agreed. Let's not skip? And then I still have to be in time for the cannibals before dinner.

Do you want to be their dessert?

More like a bone in the throat. They tried to devour me just a couple of hours ago - and they choked!

Rather, they spat it out because of your bitterness and callousness - the head of the Sleepless snorted and sharply turned serious - I give you full clan information about the goddesses Guorra and Snesa. All we have. Everything to the last point, to the last piece with secret squiggles - I give my word that nothing will be hidden. And in return, you tell me how, where and from whom you received the bone ring. Deal?

Why is a mammoth here? - I asked lazily, looking languidly at the huge carcass of a prehistoric elephant.

Sighing in sorrow - ChB understood perfectly well that I was leaving the topic beautifully - the girl explained:

In Valdir, any pet acquiring something very good, at the same time acquires something negative. So that life does not seem like heavenly manna. In the case of Kolyvan - stubborn, no, even stubborn affection for my brother. However, I'm sure Orbit could have persuaded his cute little animal to wait at the entrance ... but he didn't want to persuade, right?
