—Something like that happened. And I'm seeing you, "uncle," for the first time too. As for the problems... That time, we fell into the trap of a fat maniac who controlled cats with a wave of his hand. We had no chance. The last thing I saw was the fanatics carrying Hat's body away, and Pervert running back to you. I haven't seen them since. I managed to get to SukAi... back then. I changed my face to move safely around Ikazkan, so the local fighters wouldn't recognize me. And then I thought, maybe it would be easier for us to operate on the surface? We'll end up killing each other sooner or later anyway, and no one will win in the end. People aren't underground rabbits, and they can't replenish their losses as quickly, even if they win five to one. What's the point in all of this then? But nothing worked out, as usual. And then I spent a long time in the captivity of an evil shadow, and just as long running away from the bandaged woman in the Divide. That's the story, guys.
- Why are you so bloodthirsty? - Dyrka stuck her tongue out at everyone for some reason. - You're probably just angry because he didn't get up, right?
- Ha! And aren't you angry that Pervert preferred the old, mean woman to you and ran away with her?
- What did you say?! Let's go somewhere else!
- Come on! You can only fight in bed, but I'll take care of you now...
- Enough! - Mugon's voice makes everyone except the machinarev and Erebus with SukAi shut up and fall to the ground. - These squabbles don't help. First, we need to decide on a new leader, and let him decide what to do with the Sorcerer.
- Well, isn't that simple? - Sharik raises an eyebrow. - The first rank is gone, there are two second ranks left.
- Obviously, old Mugon should be the new boss! - Bagryanez points his finger up.
- No! - Dyrka protests. - Let the cute Erebus be the leader!
- I have no interest in leading this or any other organization. - To the surprise of some, Mugon firmly refused such a prospect.
- Well, then it's decided. Hooray! Hooray! Hooray! I'm in charge now, he-he!
