Greetings, Mister Principal: Home is far away

After handling all the matters, it was already late at night when Reiner returned to the Windermere Hotel. They were originally scheduled to leave today, but due to delays in various matters, Reiner decided to stay for one more day. &1t;/

Macon's body and the things he carried were taken away by Mr. Field. After inspection, a magic item was left to Reiner. &1t;/p>

That is a brooch. As long as you wear it, it will significantly reduce your sense of existence and make others ignore you. However, wearing it for a long time can easily lead to losing yourself. Macon must have escaped capture many times by relying on it. The ability of this brooch. &1t;/p>

Both Reiner and Mrs. Freya are extremely tired. Today's battle with Macon was very intense. If it weren't for the intervention of Phyllis and Helleson, Reiner might have to spend more energy. It is possible to subdue Macon only after waiting for the arrival of Lord Field. &1t;/p>

Reiner slept soundly, almost falling asleep while lying down. When he woke up, it was already half past nine in the morning the next day. &1t;/p>

Mrs. Freya huddled up in a ball, lying on the other end of the bed, sleeping soundly. &1t;/p>

Leiner changed his clothes and walked out of the room without waking up the snoozing kitten. &1t;/p>

"Good morning, Reiner, uh uh..."&1t;/p>

Claire was sleepy and was rubbing her eyes as she walked out of the room. She waited until Reiner came back last night and then nuzzled in Reiner's arms like a kitten for a long time before leaving. Although she didn't know what happened, Claire probably She had a premonition of what happened to Reiner yesterday, but she didn't ask any more questions. She believed that Reiner would tell her. &1t;/p>

The two seemed to have some kind of tacit understanding, and they didn't talk much as they came to the lobby on the first floor. &1t;/p>

This place still looks half-decorated. It seems that after learning about the death of his son West, Uncle Mason is no longer in the mood to celebrate his sixtieth birthday. &1t;/p>

Behind the counter, Uncle Mason was wiping the table with a rag. When he saw Reiner and Claire, he smiled reluctantly. &1t;/p>

"Today is my birthday. I should have celebrated it well, but I let you down."&1t;/p>

"Ah, happy birthday to you."&1t;/p>

Liner said hurriedly. He was not prepared before and could only find a crystal from the storage bag on the spot. &1t;/p>

"This is a crystal that can calm the mind. Keeping it with you can calm your emotions. I'm sorry I only have this gift."&1t;/p>

This crystal is a magic prop used by Reiner himself to practice. The magic in it is mainly to calm people down, and it is a gadget of little use. &1t;/p>

Taking the crystal, Uncle Mason quickly thanked him. Perhaps on this supposedly lively birthday, he only received a gift from an outsider, Reiner. &1t;/p>

Just when Reiner was about to check out, a head poked his head in from the door. &1t;/p>

"Is this the Windermere Hotel?"&1t;/p>

The man was bald and headless, but there was a scar on the top of his head. He had triangular eyes and looked very vicious. However, unlike his slightly scary appearance, the tone of his inquiry was quite calm, showing a huge contrast. . &1t;/p>

"Yes, are you staying here?"&1t;/p>

Uncle Mason collected the gift that Reiner gave him and walked out from behind the counter. &1t;/p>

No matter what, life must go on. &1t;/p>

"No, uh, how should I say it."&1t;/p>

The bald man started to hesitate. He touched his bald head and continued. &1t;/p>

"I'm here to see West Windermere."&1t;/p>

"What?"&1t;/p>

Uncle Mason was stunned. Hearing the name of his dead son from a stranger made the old man feel a little dazed. &1t;/p>

"Uh, I'm Cohen Bright from the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce. I have been helped by Mr. West in the past. He refused the reward I wanted to give him. He only hopes that I can come to Ohms today. To express his birthday wishes to his father, Mr. West said that his father likes to display photos of famous people at home. If people like me can go, his father will be very happy."&1t;/ p>

Cohen Bright said, you can hear the sincerity in his tone. &1t;/p>

"This..."&1t;/p>

Uncle Mason was stunned. He glanced at the restaurant. There was a wall there. On the wall were photos of various celebrities with the Windermere Hotel. Being somewhat vain, his favorite was this wall. He had asked for it more than once. Others have boasted. &1t;/p>

"This is the Windermere Hotel? Where is that boy West?"&1t;/p>

Before Uncle Mason could react, a rough shout came from behind Cohen, a strong man with a beard and an unconventional head like a knotted tree root. &1t;/p>

Behind the strong man, a burst of noise came. &1t;/p>

Uncle Mason arrived at the door of the hotel. &1t;/p>

What he saw was a group of strangers. &1t;/p>

There are gentlemen in elegant dresses, single-sided glasses and top hats, young men with casual clothes and unshaven beards, socialites who are dressed up as if they are ready to go to the ball in the next moment, and action figures. Inconvenient, but still standing on crutches. &1t;/p>

They obviously don't know each other, the styles of their clothes are from different countries, and even the languages ​​they use are hugely different. &1t;/p>

But everyone is chanting the same name. &1t;/p>

West. &1t;/p>

"Who are these people?"&1t;/p>

Uncle Mason felt it was difficult to breathe, and countless words were about to come out of his throat. He looked at Cohen, wanting to seek answers. &1t;/p>

"I chatted with them for a while. These people were all people who had dealt with West and received help from him. Like me, West did not ask for their thanks. He only hoped that they could Today, birthday wishes to West’s father.”&1t;/p>

Cohen explained, with mixed feelings in his tone. &1t;/p>

"I have been in contact with West for a long time. He told me that he had made irreparable mistakes and did not want to drag his parents down, so he has been traveling around the continent these years, Wanting to atone for his sins by helping others, he said that after he had helped a hundred people, he would return to his hometown to celebrate his father's sixtieth birthday. In the Midland Federation, this was the most important day for a person. , he hopes that his father can forgive him."&1t;/p>

Hearing Cohen's words ~IndoMTL.com~ Uncle Mason was dazed as he held on to the door frame. &1t;/p>

"To be honest, I have been away from home for many years. In the past, I always wanted to stay away from my hometown and venture into a larger world. But by the time I became successful, my parents were no longer alive. From then on, I There is no hometown to go back to anymore, I can understand West’s mood.”&1t;/p>

Cohen said with deep emotion that this time he came to Olmsted not only to fulfill his agreement with West, but also to fill the vacancy in his heart. &1t;/p>

Perhaps these people present also have their own nostalgia. West's actions awakened their feelings that had been dormant for many years, and that's why they traveled thousands of miles to come here. &1t;/p>

What cannot be reached is the distant place, and what cannot be returned is the hometown. &1t;/p>

"This stupid son, if you want to come back, just come back!"&1t;/p>

Uncle Mason finally couldn't hold back his emotions. This was the first time he cried loudly since hearing the news of West's death. &1t;/p>

Witnessing all this, Claire gently held Reiner's hand. She felt her eyes were a little sore, and some indescribable emotion overflowed in her chest, seeming to burst out. &1t;/p>

Reiner, on the other hand, held Claire's soft palm and said softly. &1t;/p>

"Let's go, it's time for us to go home."&1t;/p>
