At 19 o'clock, Zach served dinner, human and sumptuous. Vertex 23S. Fastest update because James said he would be back for dinner.
At 20 o'clock, Zach reprocessed the food. Because, James said he would come back for dinner.
At 21 o'clock, Zach accepted Louise's suggestion and fried steak, steamed beans, fried bread, and cooked salad... Louise said that this is how the Republican family makes that amazing dinner.
At 22 o'clock, Zach messed up the correspondence between the food and cooking methods above, and tried it again. Of course, Louise suggested it.
At 23 o'clock, Zach threw the food that smelled of poison into the trash can.
At 24 o'clock, James came back. His first sentence was, "There is no food in the kitchen! You didn't make me food? I said I would come back to eat..."
Zach and Louise closed the master bedroom door.
When James saw Zach again, it was already a new day.
Zach was on the back porch, watching James emerge from the staff living area with breakfast in hand. When he got closer, Zach said: "Anyway, you're already getting food from them, why don't you just eat there and why are you coming back?" He was obviously mocking.
James ignored Zach and sat down on the bench on the back porch.
"For the record, I cooked dinner for you yesterday. It's you who didn't keep your promise."
James glanced at Zach and said nothing.
Zach raised his eyebrows and turned in a semicircle in front of James, "I will not apologize to you, and I will never talk down to you."
James simply rolled his eyes and continued to eat the breakfast brought from the staff living area without replying.
Can you understand the reason why both phases decided not to talk nicely? here
Yesterday's dinner, the 19 o'clock meal, was sumptuous. Why? Because Zach expected to have a serious conversation with James. Using people's wishes to ask the Holy Lord to appear. In ancient times, this was a pilgrimage for saints! Is this topic not serious? ! The dinner was sumptuous, thoughtfully prepared by Zach to lighten the atmosphere.
Then on 20, 21, 22... Zach's heart was let down. What followed was very typical. Zach was injured, but James was the one who complained.
But there's no need to all side with Zach. It's a fact that there won't be any human food in Glendale when James comes back.
The road to pilgrimage was already more difficult than expected, as evidenced by the fact that James failed to catch the 19 o'clock dinner, and did not bring back the oracle on 20, 21, 22... We are all people with conscience. We cannot imagine the mountains, lakes, seas, and natural dangers on the pilgrimage. However, we should at least be considerate of James, the saint who has the lofty mission of saving society in Vega City, and boil two eggs for him. How about staying in the kitchen
Zach didn't.
If anyone's wondering why there isn't any human food in Grande, all I can say is... James isn't the only one on a mission. Alice and Maya, the only ones in Grande who need human food, also have a mission, a mission at Barton Manor. I’ve said it clearly before, so I won’t repeat it.
There must also be confusion as to why Benjamin was left out. It’s not that I missed it, it’s that Benjamin and Murphy didn’t come back yesterday.
So, there was the scene on the back porch. Both parties decided that they were the ones who had been wronged, and no one was ready to take a step back.
childish.
The person who broke this childish confrontation was Old Hank who rushed over from the living area.
We have always known that this old man's mental state is far beyond that of humans of the same age. And maybe because he knew that Old Hank was exercising his muscles, when Old Hank rushed to the back porch, Zach felt that Old Hank was bigger than before... It should be a psychological effect, no physical exercise can have such a significant effect effect.
Seeing Old Hank approaching in a menacing manner, Zach was ready to be accused of any unfounded crime by this elder. Zach's expressionless face was ready, but when Old Hank spoke, Old Hank rushed directly in front of James, snatched the dinner plate from James' hand with a flick of his hand, and said as a warning: " If you touch anything in my living area again, I will break your legs!!"
Zach blinked, quickly reacted and glanced at the living area, and whispered to James, "In cooperation with Old Hank, you, a detective, made inexplicable actions in the living area, making those employees (former criminals) nervous Now, old Hank is controlling their emotions."
The corners of James' eyes were twitching, but the hand that had already been raised to grab the food was retracted.
Old Hank glanced sideways at Zach, oh, naturally, without the slightest hint of gratitude, but also lowered his voice, "Even if Alice doesn't go home, Grandery will have to open fire! I've already found a few people. I’ve never seen you and Louise having lunch before!”
"Thanks for reminding me." This was not polite, it was Zach who was sincerely reminded and had never noticed such a small thing.
Old Hank finally snorted at full volume, turned around and walked away with the food.
The interruption ends.
"This should be a motto." Zach watched Old Hank return to the living area. He said this to Zach, "No matter what the relationship between people is, as long as they are willing to treat each other with kindness, this kindness will be rewarded. In return." Zach smiled at James, "Let's go, I'll make you breakfast."
Apply the principles learned in life back to life. Zach is just so... impeccable. James followed Zach into the kitchen with his lips curled up.
The two eggs that had not touched the water yesterday were now in the water. Zach’s kindness is really beneficial...
"How was yesterday?" Zach went straight to the point. The serious topic that should have been discussed at 19 o'clock yesterday under the relief of delicious food can now only be discussed in front of Gulu's bubbling water.
"Huh, why don't you take a guess." James added two more eggs to the water.
"I don't want to guess about Holy Lord." This is in line with Zach's consistent attitude towards Holy Lord.
"There's no need to go there." James said with a sullen face, leaning against the desk, "I was stopped at your Madison's place." James looked at Zach, "You know, Matthew After I left, no one picked up the mill’s work reports.”
Zach frowned and there was another little thing that he didn't notice... And, given Madison's character, hey, Zach could already feel Madison's resentment towards him.
Zach chose not to face his negligence, "I hope you explain to Madison that I don't agree with you going to him. It was you who insisted on going. So this matter has nothing to do with me, and Madison can't treat me because of Refusal to help you out of personal distaste.”
"I said it." The simplicity was heartbreaking, "Madison said that if you hadn't asked him to be friends with Ms. West, I wouldn't have asked him for help, so this matter has nothing to do with you. .”
Zach was silent. If the negotiation between James and Madison is like this, Zach can't do anything about it. Zach's intervention only made matters worse. It’s human nature, you know.
"Then I swear, the weirdest thing happened." James looked at Zach, "I've seen and experienced a lot of weird things. So believe me, when I say the weirdest thing right now, it's The weirdest thing."
Zach held a spoon and turned the eggs in the water, and then made a gesture of invitation to James.
James began to speak.
"Biscuit. Ms. West's cat, you remember."
Zach nodded.
"When Madison and I were making no progress, the cat appeared and started..." James crossed his shoulders, his face began to look strange, and his nose twitched inexplicably. Hey, James finally made some new tricks on his face, congratulations.
"Start destroying Madison's manuscript."
"destroy?"
"Have you ever seen a cat play with toilet paper?" James asked.
Zach didn't know why, but he answered it anyway, "Canister type or pump type?" Uh-huh.
"All of them." James sniffed, "In the blink of an eye, Madison's manuscripts flew everywhere in his apartment. In the center of the manuscripts flying everywhere, there was a black ball..." James His eyes were sharp, "Whirlwind." He also raised his hands in front of his chest, imitating a cat's claws and clawing at the air like a lunatic, "Swipe, pull, pull! The torn manuscript. Whoosh! The manuscript was flew away."
Zach looked at James, "You're the weird one now."
James stopped imitating, hugged his arms again, and glanced at Zach, "You're not there, you can't feel that feeling." It was an attitude of 'you didn't see it, it's your loss'.
Zach was silent. Holding the spoon again, he flipped the eggs in the pot and said lightly, "So, are you going to watch the cat tear paper at Madison's place until midnight?" This duration, tsk tsk~
James's answer was, "Do you know how many manuscripts Madison has? Haha, they can be used to kill people."
Zach tilted his head, "What can I say, the protagonist's life is so exciting." Zach continued to flip the eggs in the pot. It’s up to you to speculate on Zach’s tone when he said this.
James snorted, mockingly, "No, that black cat didn't just tear paper."
Zach could only continue to ask for help.
James continued, "It stole a few of Madison's manuscripts. And then..." This pause was intentional, looking at Zach until Zach put down his spoon speechlessly, stood solemnly facing James, and put on a pose. After looking completely focused, James spoke again, "Madison's hair started to change color crazily."
"The future is changed."
James did not follow this statement of reality with, "Do you know why the sun is white?"
Zach gave James a 'are you serious, you're still giving it away' look. James didn't speak, so Zach only said, "I remember I once heard a primary school student say that it's because various colors are mixed together..." Regarding the level of education of humans four centuries ago...
After being interrupted, the key point had obviously appeared. James said, "Madison's hair turned white." He continued, "The white was dazzling, and then the white was dazzling, as white as the sun."
"Madison has a sun on his head." Zach curled his lips, preparing to make James stop such meaningless exaggeration with a sarcastic joke, "It's great that Madison was not born four centuries earlier~ otherwise he would have become Vampire Terminator…”
was interrupted. Not counting the interruption, James looked like he didn't listen to Zach at all, and just continued what he said, "Then it turned into ashes."
Zach's mouth remained open because he didn't finish his words, and it took a while for him to speak again, "What turned into ashes, let alone Madison's head, the mill still needs a person in charge to run it."
"His hair." James looked at Zach with a look in his eyes that said, 'The focus of your attention is really... comforting.' "It covered Madison's face..." James also raised his hand to gesture, "On the clothes , in clothes. All over. Ashes in his hair."
Zach tilted his mouth and said, "Is Madison okay?" He finally had some humanity.
"No, he wasn't 'okay' at all. He nearly suffocated on the ashes of his own hair."
"Almost." Zach stretched out a finger and touched the air. This time, the focus is on the right point. "Then what?"
James shrugged, "Didn't you guess it? The future has changed." Regarding the fact about Madison's hair, Zach said it before. James glanced at the eggs in the pot and continued to narrate, "Black Cat Biscuits and the stolen manuscripts are the reason why the changes in the future will be so drastic that Madison instantly went bald. The reason why I came back so late, you still Do you need me to say something?”
Zach looked at James for a while, ranging from confusion to surprise, and finally speechlessness, "You and Madison are piecing together the manuscript that was torn by the cat, trying to determine which pages of the manuscript the cat stole?"
"Yes."
Well.
Zach opened his mouth, closed it, looked at the four eggs that were already turning in the pot with the boiling water, and added two more, "Thank you for your hard work. You deserve some nutrition."
James just said that Madison's manuscript can kill people, right? Do you understand now? This is not an exaggerated metaphor.
On the contrary, the nutritional supplements in Zach’s mouth are still so affordable. Then, the question came almost naturally, "Did you succeed? Are you sure the manuscripts were stolen?"
"No." He answered very simply. James kept his arms folded. "At least when I left, Madison was still working hard. He didn't even finish half of the volume."
"You gave up?" Zach looked at James and was speechless. It can only be omitted, because it is completely understandable to give up.
"This doesn't mean giving up. This means going with the flow." James looked at Zach, "It's impossible for Maddison to put together a manuscript of that size. He has only one choice."
Zach raised his eyebrows, "Go and hold the cat owner accountable. Then whether he wants it or not, as a witness, you can successfully communicate with Ms. West..." Zach tilted his head, "Then why are you still here? Midnight? You should have 'pushed the boat' earlier." Zach's original intention was to mock James' IQ.
Unexpectedly~ James's answer was like this, "I want Madison to feel my sincerity, right? I've tried my best to help him, and he owes me."
"You've gone bad, James Lance~"
"I have a good teacher."
