Zeus calmed down a bit and put a lightning bolt under the temporary tattered throne, which Hermes had bought from some pawn shop in Brownsville for an unheard of money from a black owner who promised to give all the money to the "Black live matter" fund.
‒ Listen, Hero, send a free harpy after them. Let the bullet fly here and engage in the improvement of our new town. And they will buy food. Did you have breakfast yourself?
‒ Athena and I ordered from Glovo. They brought something so smelly. Athena promised to blow up their office.
‒ Do they have an office here?
‒ They don't have an office anywhere. But they are everywhere. Even here. They said that they do not cook, but only deliver it in crumpled, moist balls. And they also said that they have a virtual office on a smartphone.
‒ What about Athena?
‒ She took the smartphone and shoved its courier somewhere.
‒ What about the courier?
‒ He could no longer drive on the forest floor. Went on foot.
‒ And didn't say anything?
‒ Asked to give five stars. By the way, it is not necessary to send the harpy. I bought you a smartphone. It is enough to drive animals here and there.
Hera reached out to Zeus and opened her palm, which flashed the gift wrapping of the newest smartphone.
‒ Aple? - Zeus began to look at the box.
‒ No, only the Cupertino packaging. Competitors from the Korean Peninsula are not well liked here. - Hera opened the box and took out a brand new Samsung. - And then I told you how many times - not Aple, but Apple!
‒ And it's written Aple! - Zeus poked his finger at the inscription on the box. - I have not yet learned to read Latin. In Greece, the letters...
‒ Good. - Hera patted Zeus on the back. - Let there be Aple. But the phone on which you will call everyone will be called Samsung. Do you see the inscription on the film? You put it to your ear and talk to subordinates.
Zeus hesitantly picked up the gadget and put it to his ear.
‒ Hermes, lightning in your ass, where are the chimeras carrying you? - He thundered into the receiver. - Arrow home, Stimfalk in your ear!
Hera laughed loudly and hugged the male god.
‒ Wait, dear, - she took the smartphone and showed Zeus the charging socket. ‒ First you need to charge it, then turn it on, create an account, buy a SIM card, kill the contacts of subordinates.
‒ And I have to do all this myself? - Zeus stretched out his hand to the lightning
‒ No, not necessarily. - Hera gently held her husband's hand. - Athena can help. And Dionysus has advanced in smartphones better than others. But I wouldn't trust him. He drinks like crazy, and then posts photos from orgies on social networks. And also friends with Apata (goddess of deception, author's note). And she will definitely listen to you.
‒ What you told me, I understood one thing - "he drinks like crazy"
