Chapter 1008 Dinner
"Ronald, this is my name, you can call me that."
After simply stating his name, Ronald lowered his head and immediately became immersed in the words on the page.
"..."
Next, Luna stood in front of Ronald and waited for a few seconds.
After realizing the man named Ronald, he became immersed in the contents of the book. Luna gave a miserable smile, shook her head slightly in the end, then turned around and walked to the other side of the living room to sit down.
Luna then curled up on the couch.
Although he kept looking at the street outside the window.
But something in the girl's eyes felt like it had been almost consumed.
...
Time passed like this, and the sky became dark.
In the quiet hotel room, both Ronald and Luna maintained their own silence, with almost no dialogue between them.
However, this silence was soon broken.
The hotel Ronald booked was considered to be quite luxurious in this city, so when he noticed that the two of them stayed in the house until night, naturally a receptionist came and knocked on the door.
Bang Bang Bang -
"Sir, Miss, it's getting late. Do you two want to eat something?" "
Our hotel prepares three free meals for guests every day. Of course - if you are willing, you can also decide to buy it. More delicious food."
"..."
Ronald was awakened by the voice of the hotel waiter.
So he put down the book in his hand, turned around and stood up to open the door:
"What is your fixed dinner tonight?"
"One fried steak, one stew, one of three drinks to choose from, and two You can choose a side of bread, and you can substitute your drink with a creamy soup if you want."
Ronald certainly had no problem with such a dinner.
However, he thought for a few seconds and then looked back at the girl sitting on the sofa with her hands around her knees and an autistic look on her face: "Luna, do you want something to eat?
"
Ronald heard After asking, Luna looked up and said,
"I... I can eat anything."
The girl responded very well.
But Ronald is different from ordinary people. He has the ability to sense people's emotions, so he can detect the desires buried deep in the other person's heart.
Probably because of his origin.
Luna wasn't really interested in the hotel's free dinner.
She was just worried that this kind of pretentiousness would arouse Ronald's disgust, so Luna did not express her emotions directly, but accepted the reality that she was not very satisfied with.
So, this time it was Ronald's turn to be in trouble.
If Luna had made it clear that she cared about the hotel dinner, Ronald might not have paid any attention to the little girl's mood. But now she was acting so sensible and unwilling to cause trouble to herself...
If she dragged the other party to eat free dinner at the hotel again, Ronald would feel bad.
And carefully explore Luna's psychological activities.
The child was not only hungry for a wonderful dinner, but also longed for the outside world.
——A noble girl who has been locked in her home for a long time and has no contact with the outside world.
The image of a canary in a cage immediately emerged in Ronald's mind following this scene.
"Okay, you go down first." People are most afraid of convincing themselves. Ronald had an idea in his mind and immediately sent the hotel receptionist, "We are going to go down to eat, so we won't bother the hotel." The hotel receptionist was still very good
. Dutifully, he added:
"I understand, sir."
"If you come back in the evening and plan to have something to eat, you can inform our staff in the lobby below. There may be some spare desserts in the kitchen by then, okay? I'll bring it to you."
As soon as he finished speaking, the hotel receptionist turned and left the door of the guest room.
Ronald closed the door gently and turned to look at Luna. He found that after the receptionist left, Luna had taken her hands off her knees and looked at Ronald expectantly. :
"You just said that 'we' want to go down for dinner?"
Ronald nodded noncommittally:
"What else? Since we have dragged you to the hotel, we can't let you go hungry at night, or Go and have those unhappy dinners,"
although there was no emotion in Ronald's tone when he answered.
But after Luna heard it, she immediately jumped up from the sofa and couldn't hide her interest and immediately came to the door of the guest room.
"We...are we going to go for a walk on the street, and then have some dinner from ordinary citizens?"
Ronald opened the door again and took the lead to walk out:
"I don't think the food is necessarily better than the food in the hotel. , but it seems - you don't mind too much?"
Luna followed immediately, her voice could not hide the joy:
"Of course, of course!"
"Why would I mind what I eat, as long as I can be full Just feel good!"
...
Then Ronald took Luna out of the hotel and started wandering around the streets of the city.
During the period, the two also bought some food to satisfy Luna's desire.
At the same time, Ronald also learned more about this city from Luna's mouth. The city they are now in is called [Nickland], which is actually the capital of [Nix Empire].
The place where Ronald took Luna to go shopping and buy food was located in the port area of the city. Because it is an important coastal port and is adjacent to the canal that connects the mainland and the ocean, it is extremely prosperous.
Based on what I heard on the road and what Luna said.
Even the palace is located in the direction of the canal's outlet. The overlap of the economic center and the political center directly determines the layout and tone of the entire city.
Except for the port area and the main roads responsible for land transportation. Compared with other areas of the city, the level of construction here lags far behind.
Bang bang bang -
just before nightfall, when Ronald was still wandering the streets with Luna.
The sudden sound of fireworks exploded in the northern port.
Ronald turned his head subconsciously, and without much thinking, he guessed the reason why this scene appeared -
it should be Greed's fleet entering the port.
As an important partner of Greed, Nikos will naturally make corresponding reception activities in the face of this kind of fleet that reopens the waterway.
Thinking of this, Ronald couldn't help but smile.
If nothing unexpected happens.
During this week, everyone on the fleet should be busy contacting Knicks Empire officials. No one can spare the time to look for themselves hiding in the city!
At the same time, Luna next to her also saw Ronald turning his head.
The girl in a good mood immediately took the initiative to explain, but her tone revealed some complexity:
"This should be Greed's fleet entering the port today."
"In the original plan, I should be at the dock now, with The big shots are waiting for the arrival of these distinguished guests."
