Его не звали, но он приперся / They never called, yet he is here: Глава 16

Chapter 16

Camrad_RIP 20.12.21 в 17:27

Whether these guys were embarrassed or not, but the only owner of boobs in this company turned out to have a sharp tongue, so she answered quite well, not impressed by my claims.

Camrad_RIP 20.12.21 в 19:37

"Boy, with a high probability, it was me who fucked your grandmother." And right after the witticism was thrown in, she got down to business. "Who you are, what you want, and who you work for. Keep in mind, we have nothing to lose, and you're going down anyway, even if we're next."

Camrad_RIP 20.12.21 в 19:43

So she didn't believe me, considering my words to be either a bad joke or a mockery and a brazen lie. From her point of view, that was reasonable-it was easier to believe in someone else's cunning plan than in a chance encounter with someone who could swaddle such a beautiful, thirty-second-level woman.

Camrad_RIP 20.12.21 в 19:44

"You're such a lecher, though." I nodded trustingly, trying not to think about her possible age. "Now do me a favor-get out of my way, preferably so that I never have to see you again."

Camrad_RIP 20.12.21 в 19:46

The suspicion in her gaze soared above the clouds, and the remaining couple, the twenty-eighth-level bodyguard, and the ninth-level kid began to look even more distrustful than before.

Camrad_RIP 20.12.21 в 19:47

"You want me to believe that you were just eating pies here?" She was just as skeptical, and she missed my remark altogether. "Do you really expect me to buy that nonsense?"

Camrad_RIP 20.12.21 в 19:47

"I wish you weren't here, and I hope the same." And then I can't take it anymore, so I get another pie. "Don't be stupid, you have elven blood, not ogre blood... or ogrish, what's the right word?"

Camrad_RIP 20.12.21 в 19:53

"The blood of ogres." The old bodyguard interrupts the arguing. "It is correct to say "The blood of ogres". And I believe in this situation. However, I understand my comrade-in-arms very well, and I don't want to leave my back open at all. Especially since all you have to do is scream. In a way, we are in a stalemate situation, with no other options. We can't leave, and we can't let you go."

Camrad_RIP 20.12.21 в 19:56

What a friendly grandfather, though! He's just kindness itself if it weren't for the needles in his dry, thin fingers, and the obvious tension every time I take a bite out of a pie. Waiting for me to relax, the bastard! Not that his suspicions were unfounded, but I know that the whole situation is nonsense, as well as their versions of my magnificent personality. I should also add that he conveniently "failed to mention" the fact that I don't care about the loss of time, but they can't afford delays. However, they might have jumped on me, just out of desperation.

Camrad_RIP 20.12.21 в 19:58

I should have walked away, even through the same shadowy step, but I don't want to... I don't want to admit defeat in this idiotic situation. In second place is the reluctance to shine a light on my abilities, even if only a part of them. I can leave at any time, but at the same time, I cannot leave. Some kind of crazy anecdote, not a life situation!

Camrad_RIP 20.12.21 в 20:00

"So what's next? I don't give a fuck, though. You're protecting this little thing, aren't you?" In response to my words, the grandfather became tense and wary, the girl flashed anger and a clear intention to stab me with a knife, and the young man himself shouted indignantly.

Camrad_RIP 20.12.21 в 20:01

"I'm not... not a trifle! My name is Sigismund of the House of Lanmmmmm..." He didn't have time to finish, for the grandfather's abrupt movement gagged him. It was primarily because of loudness, not for the sake of incognito. I have a suspicion that the names of the trio have long been known to all concerned. I just hope that his last name isn't Lannister, or I might get stabbed while I'm laughing.

Camrad_RIP 20.12.21 в 20:02

"Come on, kid, don't be so uncomfortable about your height." I can't help but joke. "They say all short people grow big dicks. It'll compensate."

Camrad_RIP 20.12.21 в 20:03

After that, the boy, already red as a freshly boiled crawfish, nearly took off on a butt jet. The only thing he had to do was to roll his eyes and shake his head and mumble angrily, and he couldn't get out of the butler's grip. How was I supposed to hold on to my green nature after that?

Camrad_RIP 20.12.21 в 20:04

"What, you got a tiny dick, too? Yes, then I'm sorry, trifle. Sometimes in life, you are unlucky on two things at once, but maybe you'll be lucky on something else." I was on fire. "Suddenly your, I don't know, nose hair will start growing and curling in curls."

Camrad_RIP 20.12.21 в 20:07

My goodness, that's hilarious! It's been a long time since I've seen such sincere and uncontaminated butt hurt. It feels like this young f*cker is about to explode, or at least learn to throw lightning bolts with his eyes.

Camrad_RIP 20.12.21 в 20:09

"That's enough." The lady answers again. "We are leaving."

Camrad_RIP 20.12.21 в 20:10

And she looks at me with such a keen eye. Come on, bitch, show us your true face, and we'll kill you a little bit. Quickly, professionally, and very painfully.

Camrad_RIP 20.12.21 в 20:10

"Glory to the boobs!" Gladly affirm. "Get the fuck out of here and don't give me a hard time!"

Camrad_RIP 20.12.21 в 20:22

All kidding aside, I'm beginning to lose patience with this murky company. I'm playing the mystery man. But they are quite dangerous. Not enough to fear them in direct combat, but if I relax and don't react in time, it could end badly. My intuition is very unpleasant about them, nervously tingling my body with needles. Don't relax, Kostya, or you'll be in pain.

Camrad_RIP 20.12.21 в 20:25

Besides, there's another group coming up behind us right now, maybe even the same group that the three had escaped from a minute earlier. And if they are going to fuss here, they will be caught, which will end very unpleasantly not only for them but also for me. After all, then two groups of probable adversaries would know of my existence.

Camrad_RIP 20.12.21 в 20:26

"Okay." She nods her head after a long ten seconds of thought. "We retreat."

Camrad_RIP 20.12.21 в 20:27

"It's too late," I said sadly, causing their bloodlust to become quite palpable. "You should have thought of that before, but now you have guests here to wish you good health."

Camrad_RIP 20.12.21 в 20:29

And the bastards were so lucky that even I missed their abrupt approach, despite the shadow sphere. The only thing that saved my ego was that these guys weren't going to attack me specifically, which was why my gut was silent. And clairvoyance, unfortunately for me, does not always work.

Camrad_RIP 20.12.21 в 20:30

The fighters who stepped out from under the illusion weren't dressed as guards at all, giving the impression of being more suited to a commando squad than to a regular sentinel. High levels, up to thirty-four for their leader and twenty-five as the lowest. Twelve men, three of whom were mages, judging by their clothing.

Camrad_RIP 20.12.21 в 20:31

I activate my Gaze involuntarily and rate their gear as pretty good, and even better on the mages and the leader. And my clairvoyance, which finally worked (very fucking well-timed!), told me that the big bosses had mistaken me for some local hobo, who was being questioned by these guys about the road through the alleys.

Camrad_RIP 20.12.21 в 20:32

I have no idea what their leader was thinking, or how he missed the fact that I was being held at the crosshairs by both of the trio's combat-ready members at once. But one of the mages and two simple guards judged the situation correctly, listing me as a possible threat.

Camrad_RIP 20.12.21 в 20:33

"Get out, peasant." Such a phrase is unpleasant in itself, especially when said to you. Especially when you realize that even if this moron sent you, those who remembered and marked you clearly wrote in an imaginary notebook your signs. Especially if you didn't originally intend to get into any adventures at all.

Camrad_RIP 20.12.21 в 20:34

I would have taken it and quietly walked away, especially when you consider that from the poser's side, such a "get out" proposal does look even somewhat chivalrous. Still, he let me run away, instead of starting a fight right next to a civilian. Or he didn't remove the witness at all.

Camrad_RIP 20.12.21 в 20:36

Except that the bastard didn't stop at one phrase, sending some kind of force wave in my direction, which is some kind of skill. It was not fatal, but it was guaranteed to be painful and traumatic for the average person. And to hell with the wave, it wasn't hard to dodge. The problem was that the irreparable had happened.

Camrad_RIP 20.12.21 в 20:37

I turn my gaze to where my pies were a second ago, stumbling only to find scraps of bread and blood-red cherry filling scattered all over the alley.

Camrad_RIP 20.12.21 в 20:37

I realize that I am making probably the worst mistake of my new life, which could lead me to my grave, but a wave of all-consuming rage, multiplied by the realization that I am the only one to blame for this situation, literally blows my mind.

Camrad_RIP 20.12.21 в 20:40

I look again at the aristocrat, who has adjusted, shifting his focus from the trio huddled in the corner to the uncharacteristic dexterity of an ordinary city dweller.

Camrad_RIP 20.12.21 в 20:42

On pies.

Camrad_RIP 20.12.21 в 20:41

On the moron.

Camrad_RIP 20.12.21 в 20:42

On pies.

Camrad_RIP 20.12.21 в 20:41

On the fucking moron.

Camrad_RIP 20.12.21 в 20:42

On pies.

Camrad_RIP 20.12.21 в 20:41

On the fucking I'll kill you, shitty moron.

Camrad_RIP 20.12.21 в 20:43

Back to the pie.

Camrad_RIP 20.12.21 в 20:43

"Fuck you, you fucking bastard! You fucking spawn of sheep and incest, why the fuck don't you just let me eat! First, it's the fucking morons who are all fucked up, and now it's you! Fuck off, all of you! You shouldn't have touched the fucking pies! Do you know where the fuck I've been and what I've been eating lately? Bitch! First time I've ever bought a fucking pie and the whole world is turning on me! Is this some kind of fucking conspiracy or something?"

Camrad_RIP 20.12.21 в 20:54

You know, subconsciously I expected my tirade to provoke, if not awe, at least anger at my words from the newcomers. You know, when an arrogant, self-righteous villain gets a verbal rebuke from a cunning hero, then goes into a rage, yells at everyone, foams at the mouth, and chews on his own rug.

Camrad_RIP 20.12.21 в 20:59

Well.

Camrad_RIP 20.12.21 в 20:59

This noble asshole was an aristocrat to the core. A thoroughbred fucking nobleman! In response to my inadequacy, he showed no emotion at all, as if he had not heard my tirade at all, but simply stared at us all with the indifferent and calm gaze of a professional butcher, and then did not even speak, silently giving the order to attack with some gesture.

Camrad_RIP 21.12.21 в 13:10

The mages attacked synchronously, flooding the alley with fire and lightning at the same time, and attacking with a broad front. My gut told me that I would survive such an attack, though I wouldn't be able to fight. Well, the goal was different, to make me hesitate, to defend myself, to hide, to give the others time to get closer.

Camrad_RIP 21.12.21 в 13:11

The shadows, of course, were destabilized by the overly bright light, but I could still easily make out how the whole horde applied skills in sync, shrinking the distance instantly. Some used the standard dash, some even blinked in short teleportation, but the important thing was that a second later we'd all be pelted with sharp steel, especially me. If we hadn't been incinerated by the mage attack in the first place.

Camrad_RIP 21.12.21 в 13:12

Well, and if I had stayed still, right under the impact.

Camrad_RIP 21.12.21 в 13:13

I was in the Shadow almost as a reflex, which, on the one hand, was a good thing, but on the other hand, it was a very unreliable place. But the important thing is that no fire or lightning existed in The Shadow. The only result of the attack was that the too bright light and the wave of pure energy made the other reality shake and wobble. It was as if too much brightness was making this plane of being too painful. And it also made me feel an involuntary rage and a desire to extinguish that light, along with the lives of the foul lighters.

Camrad_RIP 21.12.21 в 13:14

Now I am partially a resident myself, which makes me dislike light, fire, and anything living around me. The body becomes translucent and ghostly at the same time, and my dexterity stat is accelerated even more by being in this state.

Camrad_RIP 21.12.21 в 13:16
