I went to Boris the very morning, and couch him sparring with few guys behind their gym. Thye tried to land a hit on him, but despite the advantage of numbers, they couldn't. He easily blocked most of the attacks and even disard so of them.
I waited there, observing until one of his n pointed out that I'm there. Which led to them having a break, so the boss could speak with .
- Morning, Peter.
- Hey. I wanted to talk with you. I have a request.
- Ok - he nodded. - What is it about?
- Tihana. I want to go hunting, but I don't really have anybody to leave her with. Not to ntion the barracks are not the best place for her. She needs sobody to look after her, and train her.
- And you want to be that person?
- You have a family, you are a father, so you know how to handle a kid. Not to ntion you are one of the best fighters in the whole city, and on top of that, you have both Irina and Vitalij. Won's hand and a younger kid to look after is sothing she needs to get straighten up.
He stuck the ax behind his belt and patted on the shoulder.
- I'll take care of her. Don't worry. How long will you be gone?
- Around two weeks. I need to drop sothing tomorrow at my mother's place, and then I'm off.
- Oh, that fancy teleporting skill, huh? I'll envy that.
- I'm sure you will get yours eventually.
- Nah. I'm gonna buy myself a plane, and fly around. As soon as this whole ss with outside dies down, I'm gonna hunt my ass off, and earn millions. I'm gonna build myself a castle, and my future dog is gonna live in a villa.
He just made laugh.
- Really? You are gonna build a villa for a dog?
- Why not? I'm gonna have so much money, that I will start using bills to wipe my ass.
- Ok, now I'm starting to second guess my idea of leaving Tihana under your care.
- Just bring her here.
I nodded, we shook hands, and I left to pick my adopted daughter. I had to actually look for her, since she wasn't in the training grounds, nor in the barracks, or their vicinity. I started to grow anxious, and then I spotted her exiting Jayadeva's workshop with Rishi.
I did what any father in my place would do, I got on the closes roof, and snook behind them, to leap down like a mad diamond with black eyes, and 'Shadow fusion' turned on, so my body would look more ominous with all the smoke coming off.
They jumped, as I scared them. She almost dropped my weaponized chicken.
- Here you are, young lady. Why do I have to look around the whole city after you?
Rishi reacted by imdiately raising his hands up.
- Jeez... Can't you co like a normal human being? You scared the shit out of - sadi Tihana.
- Bawk! - said Tam in her hands.
- Even you against ? - I stared him down.
- Bawk... - he gave up.
- We just have been talking - sadi Rishi, with an awkward expression on his face.
He really didn't know how to react, and I couldn't bla him for that, which didn't an I would stop fucking with him.
- Yeah. Calm down, fake dad. You can't get pregnant with words.
- I trusted you, and you betrayed like that?! - I shouted.
- I didn't do anything! - she snapped.
- I'm not talking to you, young lady!
- Bawk? - asked Tam.
- Yes, I'm talking to you. You are the only adult among them. You were supposed to watch her. And what are you doing? Definitely not watching!
- B-bawk...
- Oh, I hope so.
Tam imdiately turned his head towards Rishi.
- Ba-bawk! Baaaaawk! - he said, and wrestled his way out of Tihana's hands, then ran at the boy and started pecking at his legs.
- Au! Stop! - shouted rishi, backing down from the chicken.
- Tam, stop! - shouted the girl.
But the chicken wouldn't, he started chasing Rishi around, cackling loudly, and with his wings spread around.
I'm not gonna lie, it was hard not to laugh. Especially when Tihana joined them, trying to catch the chicken.
- Ok, enough! - I shouted after a mont. - Tam, Tihana, co. We need to go sowhere.
- Bawk! - responded Tam and actually started chasing the girls, towards .
She tried to resist at first, but she got scared when the chicken waved its wings at her. Rishi, using this mont, sneaked his way back to the workshop.
- Where do you want to go? - asked Tihana, reproachfully.
- I'll be leaving the city for two weeks, and I want you to stay in a different place than the barracks. You will be living with Boris and Irina for a while. He will also train you.
In the beginning, she wasn't happy with what I said, but as soon as I ntioned Boris, her mood changed.
- Oh, ok. Let just grab my things.
- I'll be waiting outside for you.
She tried to go, but Tam stopped her, and clearly demanded to be taken along. She sighed as only teenagers can do, and picked him up, then left.
I followed them slowly, and waited outside, like we agreed, to then take her to Boris's place. They prepared her a room in their own house. Irina was actually overjoyed by Tihani's presence. I left them, after staying there for around an hour, helping the girls getting accustod to the place.
I also promised them to pay them back for this favor.
Then I went to do so shopping, and also clean my vault since there was quite a bit of garbage accumulated there. Fortunately, all of it was just stuff from the device, so I could sell it back. I resupplied food, and drinks took so clothes for change and other everyday necessities. That was it.
The day ca to an end with 24 360 310 points remaining on my account, and 21 class points.
