Story
The book tells about the new adventures of Sergei and Natasha, which began after Tanya, the sixteen-year-old sister of his wife, obsessed with Sailor Moon , came to visit them.
Natasha, having left for work, leaves Tanya in the care of Sergey, and she accidentally using the witch talisman moves from our world to the magical City. Sergei and his wife go to look for her.
Having met with Sir Mallory , his old friend, Sergei finds out that Tanya has turned into Sailormoon and is currently “fighting for justice”, along with Tuxedo Mask and the Warriors in sailors , creating unrest in the city. Left overnight with Sir Mallory, Sergei is attacked by Warriors in sailors, which are actually demonesses. With the help of Farmazon, he shoots them and destroys one of the demonesses.
The next morning, Sergey wakes up next to his wife. During breakfast, sir Mallory phoned the master of Semetsky . He reports the attack, and Natasha realizes that Bunny is there. Sergei, spell turned into a hare, together with his wife goes to the master Semetsky, a bibliophile, to return Bunny home. There he learns that the little sister needed a Tartarus card. Learning about this, Sergei, under the guise of a singer, goes with Antsifer and Farmazon to Ancient Greece . There he immediately finds a problem in the form of an advancing centaur Centavras (whom Natasha may have sent). Somehow getting rid of him, Sergei enters the cave and sees Natasha. Trying to save her, he gets an oar on the head and loses his memory. Recovering, Sergei, along with Natasha and the approaching Centavras, penetrate into Tartarus . There he sees utter defeat, as Bunny freed all sinners. For some reason, Natasha leaves the detachment, and Sergei and Centaras escape from demonesses . Seeing that the gates do not close, Antsifer brings Sergey a collection of his poems and asks to read about the dog. Sergei reads and destroys the second demoness, setting Cerberus on her, and then faints.
Sergey comes to himself in the City, but he does not remember anything about what happened. However, the master Semetsky (rejuvenated thanks to the verse of Sergei) comes to them and recites to them the notes of Kentavras, where their adventures are described. Semetsky also hints that Natasha has something for sale. But Natasha refutes the rumor, and Semetsky leaves. After his departure, she tells Sergey about the “Book of Seven Mages” (or “Seven Books of Mages”). She says that she found in Tartarus one of the prints of the seal that could open the passage to the book. After a conversation, Sergey is immediately summoned to Koshkostrahus 5. Having come to him, Sergey learns that fire snakes are constantly attacking rats. And with them they saw one of the demonesses. Having caught one of the snakes with the help of a fire extinguisher, Sergey realizes that they belong to the Aztecs. He sets off through the tunnel and enters pre-Columbian America . There Sergey meets with the natives, beats the priest and is captured. At the trial, with the help of Farmazon, he is going to quarrel the gods and stand up for Quetzalcoatl . But Huitzilopochtli demands to give it, and Quetzalcoatl is forced to give it to Sergei. Fending off the guard, Sergei meets Natasha, who found something and hid it in her mouth. They are caught and about to sacrifice on the pyramid . Sergei saves the situation by reading a verse. But again, it doesn’t work out that way - the priests release only men. But Sergey does not want to leave without a wife, and he is first placed on the altar . The situation is saved by Bunny, who scares the priests. At the same time, Sergey sees the arrival of the Spaniards. Natasha disappears again, and Bunny, along with her friends, attacks Sergei. Sergei is forced to flee from them, and soon - from the brutal Spaniards. Bunny freezes them, trying to save the local population, and tells her friends to look after Sergey. But as soon as she leaves, the demonesses again try to kill him. Antsifer rescues Sergei again: he brings a priest who reflects the lightning of one of the demonesses (in the bookmark there was a piece of rope in the bookmark that John the Baptist girded his loins over). Sergei calmly leaves, and the Spaniard is scared away by Natasha.
Having come to his senses in the apartment after an illness, he finds out that Natasha found a second print and wants to sell them at auction. After the conversation, she leaves, and Sergei, using a poem, reconciles Farmazon and Antsifer. But soon they quarrel again - the matter is in the chains (with which one of the demonesses rushed). Each of them gave its chain to rats without the knowledge of the other. Soon, Sergei receives an invitation to the bathhouse from Sir Mallory . He goes to the bathhouse and, together with Sir Maloney, discusses Bunny, but he worsens consciousness. From Farmazon, Sergei learns that he was locked. After reading the verse, Sergei goes through the door and saves Sir Mallory and Antsifer. Immediately the demoness tries to seduce him, but stops when Sergey drops a towel. Fleeing from the demoness, Sergey runs through the whole bath, but the demoness catches him in the dressing room. She is ready to kill Sergey, but she is stopped by Bunny. She destroys the last demoness and disappears.
