The first came Kverk. The twins immediately rushed to him and with great joy swirled around him, levitating. Leah came out.
“Welcome, distinguished Ambassador Kverk,” she made a respectful curtsy.
“General Lia, you are beautiful as always.”
- Anu, stop it! She shouted at the guys, but Kverk just made a stopping gesture and began to whirl around Kverk with the kids. Leah just stood and looked bewildered, like a huge and seemingly hulking Kverk, rushing, frantic with children, like a child.
“Girls, you are beautiful like goddesses.” I am delighted - I did not have time to say anything more. Next to us arose the president Faina. The girls immediately in reverence dropped to one knee.
“Our respect, Madam President,” three gentle voices were spoken in unison.
- Welcome, President Faina. Now I will set a protective field, - I mentally issued to the shuttle (which was hanging above the house in stealth mode) a command to set a protective field.
- Done, protection is activated. This is not my weak protection, but the protection of creators, which will easily withstand the salvo of our earthly flagship. Therefore, you can relax and stay on the territory even without cocoons. At your discretion, - he pointedly left the cocoon and turned it off.
- Alex, I even become afraid. Every day you become more powerful.
- Madam President, do you fear your subject? I will serve you faithfully until the end of my days.
- Alex, I believe, I believe. Lead, master, she pointedly left the cocoon and teleported into the courtyard. Girls following.
- Attention everyone! Madam President! - heard Leah's voice. In the blink of an eye, the merry-go-round of Querque and the kids disappeared and everyone respectfully greeted the president on one knee.
- Here you go. Ambassador Alex promised a relaxed atmosphere. And everything, as always. By the way, I already became jealous when I saw how children were playing. Ambassador Querk, I am very pleased that you have found a common language with our children. I myself also wanted to play.
- Madam President, as we say: it is not over yet. I ask everyone to the table.
Faina just saw the bottles of wine and champagne, immediately looked at me indignantly.
- Alex, I respect you, but alcohol is forbidden here.
- Good. Let it be your way. Forbidden, we will not do anything. Nusya !!! - the household robot immediately appeared with trays on which various grapes were applied.
- Grapes !!! Shouted the twins.
“Natural glucose and fructose, more than twenty percent,” muttered Querk.
- I ask everyone to try these delicious berries and tell me if there is something forbidden in them. Just be careful. For those who do not know.In the berries there are small bones. If you swallow them nothing happens, but there is no benefit from them. So to your taste, - the twins instantly took up the absorption of the grapes and not thinking of throwing out the stones. The rest (except for Leah) looked at the children and at first with caution, and then with the pleasure of eating grapes.
- Mrs. Faina, is it forbidden to eat berries?
- Alex, are you kidding me? Of course not prohibited. Yes, and still such a yummy!
- Children, please take that bottle (I pointed at the champagne) and read what is written on the label.
“Dad, but we don't know this language,” one replied guiltily.
“Dad, we'll do it now,” they both were in cocoons and quickly figured out how to outwit. Scanned the label. Brought her to the hologram. And they gave the task to the cocoon to translate. Soon everyone read that the champagne was made from grapes. I felt a general surprise. Even Kverk was amazed.
- I hope everyone saw that this drink is made from delicious berries that you just tried. So will it be a violation or not?
- Alex, but there is alcohol in the composition.
- Children, since you are in cocoons, please show us the law banning the use of alcohol.
The hologram highlighted: "... It is forbidden to use inside chemically created alcohols, with the exception of medical purposes ...".
- Have you read everything? "The use inside chemically created alcohols is prohibited." The label says that champagne is made from grapes, not chemically. Therefore, the use of these drinks is not a violation of the law.
“Alexey, you would be a lawyer, not an ambassador,” Kverk exulted.
- Alex, for some reason I did not even doubt that you will be able to deceive.
- Madam President, offend. I just proved that the use of these drinks from my time is not a violation of modern laws.
“Then why is my glass still empty?” - Faina winked playfully, and immediately the tense situation was discharged. And when the champagne cork fired, Kverk could not resist:
- This is necessary! Salute begins.
Everybody watched with great interest how champagne frothed in the glasses. Considering that practically no one went to the parties (I do not know just for Quercque), I had to start the first toast myself.
- Dear guests, thank you for coming to take me on a long and long journey. In my time, always see off friends. Hope friends have gathered here. I offer a drink for friendship. Before drinking, everyone gently clink glasses with their glasses (they don't clink only at the funeral and for the dead). And we are for friendship. (There is still a brotherhood, but I'll tell you about it later).
Dzin dzin dzin. Everyone closely watched my actions. And when they tasted the taste of champagne, no one could hold back the thoughts. Each one spun the same steady thought: "What a delicious, divine drink." Even the guys. By the way, I remembered the kids in time.
- So, baby. Champagne tasted and enough for you. Better help Nyuke bring fruit.
A variety of fruits appeared before us: oranges, tangerines, kiwi, mangoes, bananas, pomegranates, peaches. Strange, I am accustomed to this fruit, but I started to have a lot of salivation. Almost immediately, it was possible to calculate that this is Querk. He somehow did not just feel the sweetness, but immediately determined the approximate percentage of sugars in the fruit. And in addition, he was a sweet tooth such that Winnipuch or Carlson could envy. I had to show how to use each fruit correctly (I warned that oranges do not eat skins, bones in peaches are such that teeth can be broken, peels should be peeled from bananas, and pomegranate should be half half stones) And all this under the sound of glasses with semi-dry and semi-sweet wines (left the port and sherry at a later date). Although in my time my gourmets would have spat at such combinations of food and wine. And here everything went with a bang!
- Leah! Hostess! You would introduce these three charming guests to Kverk.Only without these your titles, otherwise it will be like a meeting at your headquarters - everyone laughed (but the fruit continued to enjoy us)
“Alex, I think they can introduce themselves,” the president intervened.
“Victoria,” said the brunette, embarrassed.
“Margarita,” the blonde said cheerfully.
“Linda,” the redhead looked around cheerfully.
- Very nice. I offer a drink for our beautiful ladies. For our girls! - poured all the port (even the children poured pomegranate juice into their glasses). Standing behind the girls, and seeing that Leah was distracted and very ...
