While Zach was waiting for Benjamin at his office, something happened to Grandry.
Republic Girl Vicky Comes to Grande. Zach had told people that Grande was always welcome, right
So, the girl stood in the Grande Showroom, looking at Logan.
"The coins are 50 yuan a bundle." Logan misunderstood. He thought the girl was here to see the deceased. Since there are several tombs of republicans in Grande Cemetery, the counter here in Grande has prepared traditional republican commemorative items, but they are very expensive because they are few.
"Uh... I'm Vicky, Alice's classmate. Zach said I can come to Grande to play if I have nothing to do."
Logan was quiet for a while. He knew that 'Alice's classmate' meant nothing. 'Alice's friend' was a meaningful identity. This sentence was noteworthy only because of Zach's invitation. However, Logan didn't understand Zach's reason for extending such an invitation. Is Grande a suitable place for a young girl to play
Forget it, "He's not here, you go to the entertainment room upstairs and wait for him." Logan opened the counter and let the girl go directly into the back porch from the back door, which was different from the way Grande's customers went upstairs.
Under Logan's guidance, Vicky entered the stairwell directly from the back corridor and went up to the second floor. Curiosity was a must, and I saw Zach's office, but politely didn't go in, and then walked along the corridor to the recreation room. Little surprised, "The people below said I can wait for Zach here."
There were two people in the rec room, women. One was standing strangely in the corner of the entertainment room, facing the wall, not knowing what he was doing, and the other was lying on the sofa watching TV, occupying the entire sofa.
The scene is a bit weird. Vicki didn't know if she was disturbing something.
The woman on the sofa was Countess Annabelle. She raised her head slightly, glanced at Vicky, smiled at the republican girl's face, then sat up, made room for herself, and said in a friendly manner, "Come and sit. ~”
Vicky hesitated for a moment, but since she knew Grande was the vampire's 'lair', she had prepared her mind well enough to come here. She nodded and sat on the sofa. At the same time, Annabelle tuned the TV to the Republic channel.
"Thank you." Vicky said very politely, "You don't have to take care of me, I can take care of everything."
"It doesn't matter~" Annabel smiled, "I can understand it too~" After speaking, she also showed off a republican idiom. Judging from Vicky's reaction, it should be quite standard.
Vicki looked at Annabel in surprise, "Have you ever lived in the Republic?"
Well, knowing a foreign language is one thing, but having a native speaker conclude that the other person has lived in a certain place can only mean another thing. Annabel's Republican language has the accent of a local Republican. . This kind of accent cannot be learned in another place, it can only be 'infected' by being there. Like the accents of the Eastern, Central and Western parts of the Commonwealth.
"Yeah~" Annabel smiled, "I just returned to the Federation to meet my old friends~" He looked at the girl Vicky kindly, "It's what you have to wait for, Zach~"
As soon as this sentence came out, the general situation was that the two of them were guessing about each other's relationship with Zach, and there was no malice.
But Vicky pushed forward before Annabelle, "You..." did not show any rejection, just pure curiosity, "Are you a vampire? You said, 'old friend'."
A very casual expression, 'old friend', gave Vicki a clue. Similarly, Vicky's deduction also gave Annabell the corresponding information, "You know about vampires~"
The two looked at each other for a while, established a good first impression, and then watched TV together.
It lasted, half a minute. After all, Vicky was a little concerned about the woman standing in the corner, "She..."
"Oh, don't worry about her~" Annabel smiled, "She is not a human being, she is just a container for providing a soul, a puppet~" Then, "If you feel uncomfortable, I can put her somewhere else." Then, Without making any moves or giving any instructions, the woman in the corner turned around, with a numb face, and walked out of the entertainment room, not knowing where to stay.
Vicky blinked and suddenly thought of something, "Oh! You are Fan Zhuo, right? Mazu said that the vampire gave up the passage to another world."
The way this communication is carried out is a little rushed, so please bear with me.
"Are you a follower of Mazu? Has she also come to the Federation? How is she doing lately?"
"Well... I'm not sure if Mazu has come to the Federation."
"Ah, she is used to using dreams to contact her followers." Enabel smiled, looking like she understood... No, she really understands. She is probably the creature in the Federation that knows the most about republican things. ! "The next time you see her in your dream, you can tell her that she can be free in the Federation. Here in the Federation, aliens can roam all over the land, and humans don't care~"
"Oh." Vicky seemed to agree with this statement and nodded.
Then, continue watching TV.
It continued for another half minute, "Ah!" Vicky reacted without even introducing herself, "Vicky, I am Alice's classmate, although she may not know me at all... but I am Caesar's Republican teacher, Is it because of Caesar's 'introduction' that I met Zach?" As he said that, he extended his hand.
Annabell shook Vicky's hand and said, "Annabel Vandro." Since the other party's self-introduction was so detailed, then, "Strictly speaking, I'm not Zach's 'old friend', I'm just someone who's been watching The woman looking at his back~" smiled, "You need to wait for him here now, probably because of my fault." Based on the good foundation laid before, there are some things that can be said, "Zach is avoiding me~"
For a young girl, Annabel's meaning may be a little tortuous, but... "I understand!" Vicky's eyes lit up, "It's okay, I haven't met Zach, but I'm glad to have met you, Annabell. ~”
"Nice to meet you too, Vicky~"
Keep watching TV? No
Annabelle, "Vicky? Do you understand what I just said? Do you have someone who can only look at the back?"
Vicki, "Well, well..." The girl's shyness. Well.
"Let me guess~" Annabelle, "Caesar?" Ha, this is not called guessing, this is the only boy's name that appeared in Vicky's words just now!
"Oops! No..."
This reaction is also hopeless.
"You tell your story, I'll tell you mine~" Annabelle gave the perfect theme for continuing to build her friendship with her new friend.
The TV is already in the background, and the friendship between the two women is heating up, but... we know both stories, so we won't waste time on them.
Fortunately, Zach also discovered something worth noting.
"What are you bothering about?" Zach approached Maitreya, who took 'the perfection of life's encounters' as his life purpose and always had a smiling face. It's just that Maitreya now has a sad look on his face. It's obvious that he encountered something unsatisfactory.
"I'm sorry. It's my own troubles. I shouldn't have spoken out and caused trouble for others."
"Try it, maybe I can help you~"
