17 'Pilgrimage'

At 7 p.m., Zach served dinner, human and hearty. Because James said he would come back for dinner.

At 8 p.m., Zach reprocessed the food. Because, James said he would come back for dinner.

At 9 p.m., Zach took Louise's advice and fried the steak, steamed the beans, fried the bread, and cooked the salad...... That's how republican families make that amazing dinner, Louise said.

At 10 p.m., Zach shuffled the correspondence between the food and the cooking techniques above, and did it again, of course, as Louise suggested.

At 11 p.m., Zach tossed the poison-drug-smell food into the trash.

At 24 o'clock, James came back, and the first thing he said was, "There's nothing to eat in the kitchen! You didn't cook anything for me?" I said I'd come back and eat......

Zach and Louise closed the door to the master bedroom.

When James saw Zach again, it was already a new day.

Zach was on the back porch, watching James emerge from the staff living quarters with breakfast in his hand. When they got closer, Zack: "You've already got food from them anyway, why don't you just eat over there, what are you going to do when you come back?" "Obvious mockery.

James ignored Zack and sat down on a bench on the back porch.

"Just to be clear, I made you dinner yesterday. You're the one who didn't keep the promise. ”

James glanced at Zack, but didn't say anything.

Zach raised an eyebrow and turned in a semicircle in front of James, "I won't apologize to you, and I will never whisper to you." ”

James gave him a brief glance, and then continued to eat breakfast from the staff living quarters without replying.

Can you understand why both of these phases decided not to speak well? Here's-

Yesterday's dinner, at 7 p.m., was hearty. Why? Because Zach was expected to have a serious conversation with James. To ask the Holy Lord to manifest with the wishes of a person, this matter, in ancient times, is a pilgrimage of a saint! This topic is not serious?! The dinner is sumptuous and was thoughtfully prepared by Zack to ease the atmosphere.

Then 20, 21, 22...... Zach was let down. And then there is very typical, it is Zach who is injured, but it is James who opens his mouth to complain.

But they didn't all have to go to Zack's side, James was back, and it was a fact that Grandri didn't have a little human food.

The pilgrimage was already more difficult than expected, as evidenced by James's failure to make it to dinner at 7 p.m., nor at 20, 21, 22...... Bring back the oracle. We are all people with a conscience, and we can't imagine the mountains, rivers, lakes and seas, natural dangers and man-made disasters on the pilgrimage road, but at least be considerate and carry the noble mission of saving the society of Vega City, the saint James, boil him two eggs and leave them in the kitchen?

Zach didn't.

If anyone is confused why there is not a single human food in the Grande, all I can say is ...... James wasn'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. It has been said very clearly before, and it will not be repeated.

There must also be confusion as to how to leave Benjamin out. It's not that I missed it, it's that Benjamin and Murphy didn't come back yesterday.

So, there was a scene on the back porch at this time, and both sides decided that it was they who were wronged, and no one was ready to take a step back.

Immature.

It was the old Hank who rushed from the living quarters to break this childish confrontation.

This old man's mental condition, we have always known far beyond that of humans of the same age. And probably because he knew that Old Hank was exercising his muscles, when Old Hank rushed to the back porch, Zach felt that Old Hank was a little bigger than before...... It should be psychological, and no physical exercise can have such a significant effect.

Seeing Old Hank coming over aggressively, Zach was ready to be accused of any trumped-up crime by this elder. Zack's expressionless face was ready, and when Old Hank spoke, Old Hank rushed directly to James, and snatched the plate from James's hand with a flick of his hand, and opened his mouth as a warning: "If you touch something in my living area again, I will break your leg!!"

Zach blinked, reacted quickly, glanced at the living area, and whispered to James, "With Old Hank, your detective inexplicably moved to the living area, making those employees (ex-criminals) nervous, and Old Hank is controlling their emotions." ”

The corners of James's eyes twitched, but the hand that had been raised to grab the food was withdrawn.

Old Hank glanced at Zack, hey, naturally, without the slightest hint of gratitude, but also lowered his voice, "Even if Alice doesn't come home, Grandri can't help but fire! I've found a few people talking about never seeing you and Louise having lunch!"

"Thanks for the reminder. "It's not polite, it's that Zach was really reminded that he hadn't noticed such a trivial matter.

Old Hank finally snorted at full volume, turned around and walked away with his food.

End of Interrupt.

This should be a proverb. Zach watched old Hank return to the living quarters, and said to Zack, "No matter what the relationship between people is, as long as you are willing to treat each other with kindness, this kindness will be rewarded." Zach smiled at James, "Let's go, I'll make you breakfast." ”

The principles gained in life should be applied back to life. That's how Zach ...... Impeccable. James tugged at the corners of his mouth and followed Zach into the kitchen.

The two eggs that didn't touch the water yesterday are now in the water. Zack's kindness is really affordable enough......

"How was yesterday?" Zach got straight to the point, a serious topic that should have been held yesterday at 7 p.m., under the relief of food, but now only in front of the bubbling water.

"Hmph, why don't you guess. James added two more eggs to the water.

"I don't want to guess about the Holy Lord. In line with Zach's usual attitude towards the Holy Lord.

"I don't have to get there. James leaned against the desk with a gloomy face, "At your Madison's, he was stopped." James looked at Zach, "You know, after Matthew left, no one went to pick up the mill work report? ”

Zach frownedβ€”another little thing he hadn't noticed...... And, with Madison's character, hey, Zach can already feel Madison's resentment towards him.

Zach chose not to face his oversight, "I hope you explained to Madison that I don't agree with you going to him. It's you who insist on going. So it's none of my business, and Madison can't refuse to help you because he hates me personally. ”

"I said it. "It's so sad," said Madison, saying that I wouldn't have gone to him for help if you hadn't asked him to be friends with Ms. West, so it had nothing to do with you. ”

Zach was silent. If James and Madison's negotiations were in this state of ghostly fighting, Zach couldn't do anything here. Zach stepping in will only make things worse. Human nature, you know.

"Then I swear, the strangest thing happened. James looked at Zach, "I've seen and experienced a lot of strange things. So believe me, if I'm talking about the weirdest thing now, it's the weirdest thing. ”

Zach twirled the eggs in the water with a spoon in his hand, then gestured to James to please.

James began to say-

"Cookies. Ms. West's cat, you remember. ”

Zach nodded.

"Before Madison and I were making any progress, the cat, appeared, began to ......," James cupped his shoulders, and his face began to look strangeβ€”his nose fluttering inexplicably. Heh, James finally got some new tricks on his face, congratulations.

"Began to destroy Madison's manuscript. ”

"Sabotage?"

"Have you ever seen a cat playing with toilet paper?" asked James.

Zach didn't know why, but he took it anyway, "Barrel or pump?"

"Both. James sniffed, "In the blink of an eye, Madison's manuscripts flew all over his apartment. In the center of the manuscript was a whirlwind of black ...... James' eyes sharpened. He also raised his hand to his chest, nervously imitating a cat's claw scraping the air, "Brush lala! The manuscript that was gouged away. ”

Zach looked at James, "You're weird right now. ”

James stopped imitating, took his arms back, and looked at Zach, "You're not there, you can't feel that." "It's a 'you don't see, you're lost' attitude.

Zach was silent. Holding the spoon again, he flipped the eggs in the pot and fluttered, "So, are you going to watch the cat tear the paper at Madison's until midnight?" "This duration, tsk~

James's reply wasβ€”"Do you know how many manuscripts Madison has, hehe, which can be used to kill people?" ”

Zach tilted his head, "What can I say, the life of the protagonist is so exciting." Zach continued to turn over the eggs in the pot. Guess for yourself the tone in which Zach said this.

James snorted, mockingly, "No, that black cat isn't just tearing paper. ”

Zach could only continue to make a gesture of please.

James continued, "It stole several of Madison's manuscripts. Then ...... "This pause was deliberate, and he looked at Zach until Zach put down his spoon speechlessly, stood solemnly facing James, and put on a look of full concentration, and then James spoke again, "Madison's hair began to change color like crazy. ”

"The future has been changed. ”

James didn't take this statement of reality, but said, "Do you know why the sun is white?" ”

Zach gave James a 'Are you serious, are you still selling off' look. James didn't speak, so Zach had only, "I remember hearing a schoolboy say that it was because of the mixing of colors...... "How much education was for humans four centuries ago......

Interrupted, apparently the point had already emerged, Jamesβ€”" Madison's hair, turned gray. "It's not over," the white dazzle, then the white blind, the white like the sun. ”

"Madison has the sun on his head. Zach pouted, ready to use a sarcastic joke to get James to stop this meaningless exaggeration, "It's good that Madison wasn't born four centuries earlier ~ otherwise he would have been a vampire terminator......"

was interrupted. Without interrupting, James looked like he hadn't listened to Zach at all, and then he said, "And then to ashes." ”

Zach's words continued to open his mouth because he didn't finish it, and it took a while before he re-uttered his voice, "What turns to ashes, not to mention 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 like, 'You're really focused...... comforting,'" covered Madison's face...... "James also raised his hand and gestured, "on the clothes, in the clothes." Body. The ashes of his hair. ”

Zach tilted his mouth, "Madison is fine." "It's finally a little bit human.

"No, he's not 'okay' at all. He almost suffocated to death from the ashes of his own hair. ”

"Almost. Zach held out a finger and tapped the air. This time, the focus is right. "And then?"

James shrugged, "Didn't you guess that?" The future has changed. "About the facts about Madison's hair, what Zach said earlier. James glanced at the eggs in the pot and continued, "Black Cat Biscuits, those stolen manuscripts, are the reason why the future changes are so drastic that Madison is instantly bald. Do you need me to tell me why I came back so late?"

Zach looked at James for a moment, from confusion to surprise and finally to speechlessness, "You and Madison are piecing together the manuscript that the cat has torn up, trying to determine which pages the manuscript was stolen by the cat?"

"Yes. ”

Belch.

Zach opened his mouth, closed it, looked at the four eggs in the pot that were already flipping with the boiling water, and added two more to it, "Good work." You deserve a supplement. ”

James just said that Madison's manuscript can kill, right? Now you see, it's not an exaggerated metaphor.

But the nutritional supplement in Zack's mouth is still so affordable. Then, almost naturally, the question was, "Did you succeed?" ”

"Nope. James replied very dryly, keeping his arms crossed, "At least Madison was still fighting when I left." Didn't spell out half of the volume. ”

"You gave up?" Zach looked at James speechlessly. It can only be omitted, because the abandonment is completely understandable.

"It's not about giving up. It's a boat ride down the river. James looked at Zach, "There's no way Madison could piece back a manuscript of that size, he had only one choice." ”

Zach raised an eyebrow, "Go and hold the cat's owner accountable." And then whether he wants it or not, as a witness, you can ...... Ms. West without a hitch" Zach tilted his head, "Then why did you stay until midnight? Zach's original intention was to mock James's IQ.

Unexpectedly~ James's answer was like this, "I want to make Madison feel my sincerity, don't I." I did my best to help him, and he owes me. ”

"You've gone bad, James Lance~"

"I have a good teacher. ”
