Chapter 28: The Long and Short of Heroes!, Monthly Pass, ~)
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Goethe was woken up by Swart on time.
No nightmares.
Two hours of deep sleep allowed Goethe to completely restore his energy.
In the bathroom, Goethe washed himself carefully and changed his clothes.
This visit at three o'clock this afternoon is crucial to him.
‘Extraordinary language’!
If you want to understand something unknown, what can be faster than learning this unknown language?
Of course someone taught the language!
Goethe knew this truth well.
Moreover, to learn the other person's knowledge, it is natural to call the other person a teacher - and in the concept of the hometown, "teacher" has a very special meaning.
Therefore, Goethe was very serious.
Starting from shirts and vests, to trousers, leather shoes, jackets, windbreakers, and top hats, they are all brand new.
Bought at Pinewood Avenue Finished Products Store.
Comes with a new oak cane.
The total cost was 12 gold grams.
If he hadn't known that Swart didn't dare to embezzle his money, Goethe would have thought that the other party had embezzled money.
“It’s so expensive!”
Goethe commented in his heart, and then he couldn't help but think of a pound of black bread weighing one and a quarter copper horns.
Obviously, these are almost two worlds.
It is impossible for a well-dressed gentleman to understand the hardship of traveling workers.
Workers can only imagine the life of gentlemen.
Maybe……
All jobs are golden, right?
Goethe touched the collar and cuffs.
The workmanship is solid and the fabric is good.
"Don't worry, 'James and James Tailor Shop' won't fool people. It took them thirty years to accumulate their current reputation. Although old James' eyesight is no longer good, little James has inherited it perfectly.
His craftsmanship.”
"If possible, I suggest you get one customized. Although the finished product is convenient, sometimes the customized one will fit better and be more suitable for some salons."
"besides!"
"The cane they gave me was given to me for my sake."
After making the suggestion, Swart looked like he was taking credit.
Then, before Goethe could speak, the police chief came over and asked in a low voice.
"Sheila, are you Runrun?"
This isn't the first time the sergeant has asked.
In fact, ever since the sergeant learned that Silla had come to his office, especially when he found that the objects in the middle of his desk had been pushed to both sides and on the floor, leaving a gap for someone to lie on his back.
He confirmed something.
Then?
The police chief was sad for a moment.
Then came the intense curiosity.
This curiosity directly dissipated the sadness and made him willing to run errands for Goethe.
After all, he had never heard of where Ms. Silla spent the night.
"Run."
Goethe was perfunctory.
Swart hit the palm of his left hand with a fist in his right hand.
"Sure enough!"
"Let me tell you, I met Silla for the first time before..."
The police chief immediately became interested and was about to make a long speech, but Goethe did not listen.
He is in a hurry.
He went straight out of the police station and borrowed the police carriage.
Goethe went straight to No. 10 Fevrystrasse.
No. 10 Fevry is located close to the tree-lined neighborhood. The public security is very good and the pedestrians on the road are well-dressed.
In particular, there are more and more ladies holding parasols here.
Along the way, Goethe saw many signboards, which were hung under the house numbers.
‘Ella’s Camellia Room’
‘Xili Handicraft Workshop’
Something like this.
At No. 10 Fevry Street, there is a signboard reading "Mrs. Burns' Classroom" under the house number.
When Goethe was there, it was as if he had entered a cram school street in his hometown.
However, compared to the situation back home where everyone looked solemn, as if they were rushing to the battlefield, here it is much better, everyone is smiling, except...
Kyle.
The other party was also in formal attire, wearing a top hat and holding a cane in his hand.
Before seeing Goethe, Fang Zheng smiled and rejected the friendly approach of a lady.
After seeing Goethe, his expression immediately turned cold.
It was as if Goethe owed him 100 gold grams.
"You were almost late!"
When Goethe walked up to him, the other party even spoke coldly.
"If you can see the clock on the roadside, the time now is two forty-five. I arrived fifteen minutes early."
Goethe pointed with his cane at the clock on the roadside.
On Pine Avenue, near Fevry, there are clocks similar to those standing on the ground. However, they are not bulky clocks, but are supported by a slender iron rod with a round clock on top.
Winded by a professional.
It can better provide convenience for people who go out.
But in the pinewood neighborhoods, the tree-lined neighborhoods don't have that.
The original city hall wanted to set up one, but it was rejected by people in the two neighborhoods.
Because they think pocket watches are more practical.
Or rather...
Pocket watches are expensive enough.
"As a gentleman, it is basic etiquette to arrive half an hour early."
Kyle snorted coldly.
Then, looking at Goethe pointing at the clock with his cane, he raised an eyebrow.
"A gentleman should not behave in such a rude manner."
The other party said.
"Rejecting a lady is considered a gentleman's behavior?"
"Still..."
"Are you deliberately rejecting the other person so that you can attract more ladies and prove your charm?"
Goethe fought back.
Although the two were probably in the same camp, the other's indifference when they first met, and the rudeness now, made Goethe understand that the other might not be an enemy, but he definitely couldn't be called a friend.
Moreover, there must be some connections that he doesn't know about.
This should involve ‘interests’.
His appearance infringes on the interests of the other party, even if he doesn't know it!
Otherwise, Goethe couldn't understand why the other party did this.
After all, the other party doesn't look like a fool or a lunatic.
Therefore, Goethe had no intention of giving in. He was not the kind of person who would smile at someone after being sarcastically spoken to.
It’s not the first time for anyone to be a human being, why should I let you?
"Even if it's my second time, I can't let it happen."
Goethe added silently.
"nonsense!"
Kyle scolded, but the next moment he didn't dare to look at Goethe, so he turned around and walked towards the doorbell.
Ding, ding ding.
After Kyle turned a hanging handle, a bell rang in No. 10 Fevry Street.
After a while, a middle-aged housekeeper came out.
"Are they Master Goethe and Master Kyle?"
The middle-aged housekeeper asked.
When the two nodded, the housekeeper opened the gate and welcomed them in.
"Madam is still giving lessons to other young people."
"You can wait in the living room for a while."
"Would you like tea or coffee?"
The housekeeper led the two of them to the sofa in a corner of the living room, then bowed and asked.
"Tea."
"water."
Goethe was talking about tea, Kehl was talking about water.
When the butler left to prepare the drinks, Kyle sneered again.
"When the host asks for a drink, don't say no, and don't ask for an overpriced drink. This will upset the host - especially on the first visit. This is not what a gentleman would do."
"Hypocrisy is what a gentleman does?"
Goethe asked rhetorically.
On the surface, Goethe was dismissive, but secretly, he frowned slightly.
Because, in his 'memory', there is no similar 'etiquette'.
In other words, I have not accepted the etiquette.
You must know that the 'Wayne' family cannot be called rich.
Although he was richer than the average family and could hire a tutor to teach him how to read, the etiquette lessons were only briefly tasted and were replaced by "Goethe" with practical lessons.
As for real etiquette teachers?
Given the family conditions of the Wayne family, they were not even hired.
And Kyle?
Clearly well educated.
Compared with the opponent, he does not have an advantage, on the contrary, he is full of disadvantages.
In such a comparison, it is naturally self-evident who "Mrs. Burns" will favor.
And Goethe knew very well what would happen when a student was favored by the teacher.
No need to turn on the stove directly.
An occasional word or two is enough.
How to reverse the disadvantage?
Goethe picked up the tea and thought about it while drinking.
Seeing this scene, Kyle smiled.
"It seems that some people are really not gentlemen."
"I haven't even studied basic etiquette courses seriously."
As Kyle spoke, he picked up the water glass with an elegant look, drank the water in small sips without making a sound, and then took out his pocket watch to check. After finding that there were still five minutes left, he stood up and asked the housekeeper about the bathroom.
He planned to resolve some personal issues before going to class.
Asking for leave in the middle of your first class is not what a gentleman should do.
Goethe followed calmly.
For teaching purposes, the bathroom in the house is large enough and very clean.
There are also three urinals in a row.
Kyle chose the last one. He saw Goethe walking in without saying hello, but when Goethe chose the middle one and stood next to him, Kyle frowned.
"This is not what a gentleman does!"
Kyle protested.
Goethe seemed not to have heard anything. He first glanced at it with the corner of his eye, and after confirming it, he turned his head openly and looked down, and then——
"Tsk, it's so small."
After speaking, Goethe shook deliberately.
Suddenly, Kyle felt like he was struck by lightning.
