Just as Zach predicted, all the high school students came to Grande, including Sissi.
"I thought you refused to go to the Republic to practice during the summer."
"Practice is practice, and a dance is a dance. I am a girl. Do you think I will refuse any occasion to show my style?"
Zach was unable to refute.
Chris Allen is here too. Zach saw that he had been trying to enter the room where the girls were changing, just to have a few words with Sissy. So pathetic, Zach pulled Chris away from the door, "Are you going to the prom too? Sissy doesn't seem to be attending the fundraiser auction."
Who will buy this 'Thousand Pieces Girl'?
"I want to participate in republican practice activities." Chris replied helplessly, "So I have to participate in the dance, which is stipulated by the school."
Well. Zach felt a little uncomfortable, but he could continue to ask, "Are you going to Republic too? Aren't you about to graduate? Aren't you already spotted in the spring high school league and got a scholarship to Commonwealth University?" There is a small matter. , maybe you don’t remember, but in the high school league, Kyle gave his second quarterback opportunity to Chris. Our focus at the time was on James framing Louise through the live broadcast and exposing Toledo's appearance.
"That's right, but I want my university to be a university in the West." Looking at Zach's face, the look of helplessness became heavier, "Hamilton told me directly that before I go to school in the West, I should go to the Republic first. Once he saw the atmosphere of the Republic, he directly contacted the vampires from the Sabbat after returning to the west, and became the reception representative for exchange students from the Republic when they came to the Federation."
Allen finally took advantage of his son, or the Sabbat did not let go of the vampire's human blood relatives after all.
Never mind, this topic makes Zach uncomfortable.
In addition to this pair of young lovers who are on and off, there is another pair that makes Zach quite speechless - Matthew, the werewolf of Grande who hasn't been to the Grande for a long time, is back and was brought by Laura.
"You won't also bid for Laura, right? Your current income..."
Matthew is as honest as ever, "There are more than a bunch of high school students~"
Zach stopped asking, and probably didn't dare to take pictures of Barton's 'princess' in front of Kyle.
But immediately, Zach was approached by a high school student. Caesar walked over to Zach with a look of disgust on his face and said, "Tie my tie."
Zach glanced at the crooked tie around Caesar's neck, wordlessly untied it, and helped him...
"What are those girls planning?" Caesar did not honestly enjoy the service of a vampire. "Why is Jimmy comparing their savings in the past six months with Kyle and the two young masters?"
Zach glanced over at Jimmy and Kyle, comparison? This statement was so gentle, the two boys felt like they were about to fight—
Jimmy: "I just advanced my expenses for the next six months!"
Kyle: "I saved half of my expenses at Western Religious College! Do you know what a fully enclosed college is?"
Jimmy: "I can sell my sixteenth-year-old gift, my car!"
Kyle: “Mine has been sold!”
Jimmy: "Don't try to surpass me! I can ask my father to advance the money for the wedding!"
Kyle: "If I remember correctly, you still owe your father the money you paid for Kepler's engagement ring!"
…
Zach didn't read it, it was too childish. We all know that this so-called bidding is just a gimmick for those rich people to pay. The amount of money everyone will donate has been decided in advance. So what those two boys are fighting over now is just 'my woman is more valuable than your woman'. Be childish, not only childish, but also wrong!
But this kind of mistake cannot be corrected by Zach. The values education work of the two young masters Jimmy and Kyle is not Zach's.
But Caesar's current problem... Zach looked at Caesar, "Don't you know there is a bidding session at the dance?"
"Bidding, what bidding?"
Well. Zach was really speechless. When did this guy get disconnected from the high school team again
"The girls are going to auction off their first dance to raise money for the practice." Zach answered.
"Oh!" Caesar raised his eyebrows, "So they've been doing this for the past few days~" He tilted his head and glanced at the room where the girls were changing, "Aisela..." Caesar had always called his mother this way, This is not bad, the bad thing is 'that woman', we have also heard, "A check has been written to the school, do I want to participate in this auction?"
"Yes." Although Zach didn't know what Caesar was thinking, Zach knew one thing - if Caesar didn't participate in Maya's bidding, he would be classified as Blake's group by the girls. This pair of Caesar Future happiness is absolutely, absolutely terrible progress!
"Oh." Caesar looked casual, his eyes turned to the arguing boys, and he tilted his head, "Then who should I photograph??" This seemed to be a question from the bottom of his heart, and Caesar was obviously aware of it. There was no way he could compare with young masters like Kyle and Jimmy who had already made complete preparations. Then Caesar looked at the troubled Chris.
Caesar sighed sympathetically and murmured, "It's better not to cause trouble for those two people. They're pitiful." This kid is actually in the mood to sympathize with Sissi and Chris? Caesar is completely unaware of his situation!
But it’s hard for Zach to remind him directly.
Caesar's eyes fell on Matthew again.
Zach was really uncomfortable. It seemed that the option of Maya did not appear in Caesar's consciousness at all...
Zach's discomfort sometimes feels towards Caesar, sometimes towards Maya, sometimes towards the human teenage years that he can't even remember...
"My weekly pocket money should be more than Matthew's monthly salary."
This little boy's way of thinking is correct, but the direction of his thinking is extremely crooked.
But... is it really crooked—
Caesar's head suddenly turned back to Zach, "But I can't beat Matthew. I'm only human, and he's a werewolf. I can't bear the consequences of stealing his girlfriend's first dance." At the end of the sentence, Caesar's mouth was almost full. It's bent at ninety degrees.
Zach also tied his tie. When he heard this and saw this smile, he immediately turned around and prepared to leave the young man's sight.
Caesar's movements were fast, and he directly grabbed Zach's arm. He couldn't pull Zach, but he could rely on the connection without letting go and move to Zach on his own, "What are you thinking about? Rui Duo~ The proposal I told you before~ Although I said that I am not really an adult yet and can wait, but don’t really make me wait~ I have many choices~ If you don’t want me, I will find someone else. Already~"
"Then please go find someone else." Zach removed one of Caesar's fingers to hold on to him, and Caesar immediately added another finger to clasp Zach's finger.
Caesar is confident, can Zach break his hand
"If I went to find someone else, it would hurt your heart. After all, you are the one who took care of me~ I have to understand your feelings~"
"Please don't understand my feelings." Zacdo said simply, "And strictly speaking, I am not the one who took care of you when you grew up. I took care of Anthony, who used to be a police detective. You are just his twisted relationship with your mother. Accessory. You still are, so don’t expect me to have any special opinions about you.”
There are some words that ordinary children should not say. Children are very fragile. But Caesar... probably has nothing to do with fragile children.
"Do you know what I'm doing during this time?" Caesar was indeed no ordinary child. He actually asked a question with a smile, a question that only he could answer, "I'm learning Republican~"
Zach was still twiddling Caesar's fingers in a continuous loop, and was silent for the time being.
"Among our group, Jimmy is the only one who can speak Republican." This is a fact. "I can already imagine that after our group goes to the Republic, everyone will have to revolve around Jimmy~" Caesar Keep this smile, "But now, I don't have to join them~ Although I can't say that I have mastered the Republican language, daily conversations are no longer a problem. Haha, when I get to the Republic, I can freely explore a world completely different from the Federation. Got it~~”
Zach remembered what Alice said about Caesar - a person who pursues novelty.
Zach frowned, looked at Caesar, but still said nothing.
"When I speak the words of the Republic, live in the culture of the Republic, and absorb the atmosphere that is completely different from the Federation, you say~" The corner of his mouth curled up, looking at Zach, "Do I want to die in the Republic~"
Zach's brows furrowed and he said, "What on earth do you want to say?" and emphasized, "Child."
"Don't worry, death is birth in the Republic~" Caesar seemed very satisfied with Zack's reaction, "Aren't you guys been studying how to remove the Earth-bound spirit? I think you made a mistake. You all have to become Earth-bound. The Federation of Spirits studies this cultural phenomenon that is unique to the Republic. I heard Alice say that this research has been abandoned, isn’t it? Have you ever thought that this is not a problem that can be studied, but needs to be immersed and experienced personally. Where are the things..."
Zach could no longer allow Caesar to continue, "Even if you want to become a foreigner, you don't have to risk going to the Republic to experience things you don't understand at all."
Caesar answered quickly, "Are you worried about me~" His purpose seemed to be this, "You know how to stop my life-threatening adventure~"
Zach didn't get used to it, "You understand that you are threatening me with your own life now."
"Look, back to the topic just now, do you want to take care of me, the child you have grown up with~"
At this moment, Zach had a very negative emotion—a very rare phenomenon for Zach.
But please understand. Zach once talked about an experience he had drifting in the North Country - he participated in the life of a human being from childhood to adulthood. This is what the human asked Zach to do, to 'kidnap' Zach when he encountered any problems in his life.
Zach admitted that it was him in the North Country who tried to try a new way of immortality when he was completely separated from the threat of the Secret Alliance and was alone without any impact on collective interests.
The ending of this experience, which we also heard from Zach, was meaningless. A period of Zach's immortality was meaninglessly occupied by a human being who was destined to disappear.
Therefore, at this moment, Zach seemed to see that Caesar was going to overlap with the humans of the North Kingdom and take up a large part of his eternal life!
"Are you distracted?" Caesar noticed Zach's abnormality.
We don’t need to worry about Zach’s emotional adjustment, he immediately returned to normal. Caesar is not the human from the North. Caesar has no intention of living a human life, which is fundamentally different from Zach's experience. What made Zach instantly confused was just the sense of 'kidnapping' that he had to passively take care of human emotions.
"I was distracted." Zach didn't deny it. "I thought of the last child who asked me to take care of him."
Caesar raised an eyebrow, "What happened to him?"
"He lived a miserable life and then died." Zach told the truth, looking at Caesar whose expression changed slightly - he was a teenager after all. Don't think too highly of Caesar, "I'm not a beautiful guardian angel, I'm a reliable person." What do you think will happen to a vampire whose blood maintains his immortality?"
Caesar forgot to continue to push back the fingers that Zach had pushed away, and Zach got rid of Caesar.
"Then if I really die sadly in the Republic without success, you will know that it is the result of your refusal to help me today!" Caesar was probably a little anxious about the last threat.
Zach turned around and said, "What are you thinking about? Alice and Maya will also go to the Republic. You won't die so easily. My child, don't overestimate yourself."
Ah.
Don't waste time on this. Zack has a mission—
With so many children from the West End gathered in Grandry, one would not think that those West End parents would not care at all. Not to mention anything else, Mr. Smith asked Zack to report on Kepler's situation in an entrusting manner.
Zach returned to the office and dialed the number of Smith Manor. He was quickly picked up. Mr. Smith had been waiting for Zach's call.
"The high school students are about to leave." Since this is a report, of course we won't waste time on gossip among the high school students. "The girls have decided not to show off their prom attire in advance and will go to school in separate cars from the boys."
"Very good." Mr. Smith replied calmly, "Will boys and girls' cars go together?"
"The boys' car will drive first. Jimmy Urie drives the car by himself, but Kyle doesn't have a car." Everyone knows the reason. "It will be with Jimmy."
"It's harmless." Mr. Smith said calmly, "It just so happens that I can help you educate your sister's boyfriend (Kyle) by the way."
"Thank you." Zach had a little headache. As you all know, Zach had no idea how Alice ended up with Kyle... It was already an established reality when Zach found out! The helplessness of the guardian.
But if we look back, we should be able to piece together the scattered clues. Remember Alice was helping Kyle prepare his college application essay. The topic was still very serious - species squeeze the living resources of other species for living space...
Forget it, forget about what is already a fact. Zach only has one thing to confirm, "Mr. Smith, you won't do anything to Yuri Jimmy."
"Hehehehe." This smile made Zach feel uneasy at all, "No, I said, I just want to educate this future son-in-law. Although I am an open-minded person..."
Zach holds the receiver. Mr. Smith has many styles similar to Zach, such as self-cultivation. But open-mindedness is definitely not Mr. Smith's characteristic. Don't forget how he laundered his private property, which was piled up with blood and corpses.
"... But in this regard, as the father of a girl, I still don't trust the Yuri family's education of their son in certain aspects. Then I will personally help them educate them, so you don't have to worry. I believe you don't want to either Your sister Alice was subjected to inappropriate behavior by the son of the Barton family."
Yes, Zach still can't imagine holding the grown-up Alice in the arms of Kyle who is still having a childish argument with Jimmy outside...
"Please educate these boys well." As a person who implements a commission, Zach stated his requirements for the client.
"I will." The phone hung up. (To be continued)
