Back in Grande, lunch actually started early, and there was an extra guest, Willy, a boy in a wheelchair whom he hadn't seen for a long time.
Danny acted as the introducer, "Zachary Grande."
"Mr. Vampire!" Willy pointed at Zach, who had just walked into the restaurant, as if he was showing off his knowledge. "He has red eyes, called Eyes of Charm. He can make others do it..."
"Shh!" Danny raised his finger.
"Oh!" Willy smiled honestly. He had forgotten that there were outsiders in Grande. On the side of the stairwell, the decoration team was still working. "Sorry! I'll keep my voice down."
Zach didn't mind too much, he smiled and took the wine and glass handed by Louise, "Danny, you seem to have forgotten to tell him the most important thing." Then he poured the wine.
"Oh, I know that!" Willy looked at Zach's wine glass and winced, "You drink... blood."
Zach curled his lips, "What I want to say is, I will live forever."
The atmosphere is great. It's rare for Grande to have such a good atmosphere without outsiders. The only reason is that this young man can become friends with foreigners.
But why is he here? Zach looked at Danny with a smile, sat on the head seat of the lunch table that had started early, and waited for the explanation.
"Willy will be alone at home today, so I want to take him out for a walk and breathe some fresh air." Danny began to explain with a wink, "Then he said he wanted to come and see where I live now. I asked Louise, and Louise said yes.”
Louise smiled and handed the butter in her hand to Willy, "What does it matter? We don't have much work now anyway." She winked at Willy, "Isn't it nice to have a friend come to visit and chat."
It seems. Louise, a human in Grande who has a strong fondness for aliens, uh, please don't count old Hank, has successfully become friends with Willy, a human who also has a fondness for aliens.
Zach tilted his head, it was indeed good, the atmosphere in Grande did need some change.
Since it is to adjust the atmosphere of Grande. Zach decided to get involved, smiled and raised his finger at Willie, "Hey, do you remember the first time we met?"
Willy nodded, "Remember, I thought you were the police, looking for trouble with Danny." He curled his lips, "It turns out you really are, right. The detective, uh, Lan, where's Detective Lance?"
Zach waved his hand, "I went out to play with Alpha." Zach looked regretful, "If you had come a few days earlier, you could have seen many people, Alpha, wizards, saints, undead, demons..."
Inexplicable. As he talked, Zach felt a little regretful...
"There will be plenty of opportunities in the future!" Willy seemed optimistic. Take a look at Danny. Danny nodded, but still looked at Zach's face silently, but Willy obviously wouldn't notice these small actions. He continued, "My mother has found a very stable job. I will have many people on my own in the future." time!"
"Boy! Don't you have to go to school? Why do you want to run around every day!" Old Hank suddenly roared. Whenever Old Hank spoke, he always had this tone and momentum, which ruined the atmosphere.
"Uh..." Willy lowered his head, looking at the strangely shaped legs under the dining table.
"Summer vacation! Hank!" Louise was trying to save her. "No one is going to school now."
Old Hank let out a loud tut, turned his face away and stopped talking.
"Actually, I don't go to school. I study on my own and study at home." Willy pursed his lips and whispered.
Louise looked at Alice quickly and blinked.
"Me, me too." Alice glanced back and forth across the dining table, and after receiving encouragement from Louise and Zach, she said, "Well, my friend said homeschooling is cool." It was Laura who said it (Volume 2).
"Yeah." Willy raised his head and smiled at Alice. Speaking of which, he is the same age as Alice and Laura.
Zach was reminded and looked at Alice, "Why is lunch early today? Laura, what's the matter?"
Very accurate question. Laura's project is still in progress, and Zach also learned about the West End Master's plan from Smith. Remember what Smith said, he said public relations.
"Yes." When she mentioned Laura, Alice spoke much calmer, "Laura called before and said they were going to have a ribbon-cutting ceremony at Parker Elementary School. Everyone would be there, and there would be many reporters, so I helped to entertain them. "
It means Alice is asked to bring food.
In addition, the 'ribbon cutting' is probably just a ceremony. Smith made it clear that the school's renovation project is unlikely to start in the near future. This is probably just to build momentum for the temporary nursery plan and serve as a launch event for the project. That is to say, all the names that Smith said are officially given to the third-generation children in the West End.
Zach took a sip of his wine, "When?"
"Afternoon." Alice replied, "So I have to prepare in advance. Laura said there might be more than a hundred people..."
There was distress on Alice's face, first she didn't like crowds, and second, the Grande oven was only so big.
Zach smiled and put down his cup and stood up, "Then we all need help. I'll start."
Does Zach need a reason for his positivity
The people at the main table stood up and left the table, which had no impact on the others. Anyway, vampires never asked for lunch, and no one would care if Zach didn't attend lunch. But for a first time visitor to Grand Willy, it’s not that normal.
Willy quickly put down the tableware with obvious nervousness, lowered his head and quickly fiddled with the wheels of his wheelchair. After a while, he turned a corner at the dining table and faced Zach's direction, preparing to move forward.
The people at the table looked at Willy, "Willy? What are you doing?"
Willy was stunned for a moment, looking at the dining table where there was no one except Zach, "Didn't the gentleman say that everyone wants to help?"
After reacting, Zach had a better impression of the boy. He smiled and waved, "No, thank you." Zach blinked and pointed to the empty wine glass left on the main seat of the dining table, "I'm eating. It’s more convenient than you.”
A little shy, a little embarrassed, Willy turned his wheel and returned to the dining table, feeling a little uncomfortable.
"Come and help after lunch is over." Zach suggested with a smile, "If time permits, you might be able to go to Alice's friends' event with us." As if to increase the appeal of the event, "The West End host , there should be a lot of fun things.”
"Is it run by people from the West End?" Willy shook his head and frowned, "Then I'd better not go. My mother is working for them. It would be terrible if she finds me running around."
"Oh?" Zach, who had already turned around to go to the kitchen, turned back, "Does your mother work for the Westsiders? Which one?"
"Bishap."(...)
