The Record Of Barton's Fantastical Events

Chapter 38: Chapter 4 Elder Brother

Translator: Doggotranslation

The sun hanging slantingly in the east continually flicked the earth, and the warm sunlight dispelled the cold accumulating in the winter from the land. The temperature was constantly warming up, and the ‘people’ of the Grande family were busy doing their daily routines. Everything seemed to be unchanged... Actually, it changed a lot.

“What is he doing?” Lola and Alice lay on the hammock on the side of the warehouse, and a girl’s head turned sideways, looking afar.

This new friend of Alice came to visit Alice early in the morning, of course, this was just an excuse.

About a hundred meters from the hammock, on the cleared open space, a new warehouse frame has been erected, two men holding tools and banging around.

Benjamin was building a new warehouse for the free stone material that had been dragged from the [Ford Funeral Home]. In terms of me, I was just an innocent laborer. The reason for the innocence was that girl, Lola, who was staring at this side without turning her eyes.

Alice turned her head and looked over there. Because she was in Grande Funeral Home, the place she was familiar with, and she has adapted to Lola’s character, so Alice was very relaxed now, and without the usual anxiety. Interacting with peers was indeed good for Alice. But now, Alice’s face contained a faint of helplessness, and she replied to Lola: “He lifted the hammer and hit the nail. The nail was nailed. He walked to the other side and took out a new nail and fixed it on...”

On this warm and calm morning, Lola’s eyes shone with stars, and she loosened the corners of her mouth and bit her lower lip, “he looks so good, with a wide back, a solid arm...” Lola adjusted her pose, and her eyes still stared at Benjamin’s every move: “I really hope it is summer...”

Alas, the spring of a sixteen-year-old girl... I hope that you can understand what I am talking about. (Summer is the time to strip off your clothes .）

“Oh!” Lola realized that she had just said what she was thinking. She quickly turned around and looked at Alice who had already blushed, and said embarrassedly, “I’m sorry! I forget that he is your brother!”

Forturnealy, this girl still retained a bit of sense, and she didn’t forget about Alice’s feelings.

“It is okay.” Alice played with her hair embarrassedly.

“Tell me more about your brother!” Lola reluctantly shifted her eyes away from Benjamin, facing Alice, “Of course, not your other brother. I want to listen to Benjamin’s story!”

And the moment Benjamin noticed her eyes looked away, his skin was instantly covered with fluffy hairs, turning into a brown shadow, and in the blink of an eye, three beams were nailed!

Now you know, why I was an innocent laborer, right? Originally Benjamin could easily get the job done with ‘Alpha Skin’, but because the girl refused to have Benjamin leaving her sight, he had to slow down!

Helplessly, Alice began to tell Lola the story of Benjamin in the army. This is not a lie. Benjamin had actually joined the army, and then met Zach and Anthony, and then settled in Barton City with Anthony, and met the banshee on the street...

Of course, Alice would not tell the story behind that. She searched the memory, recalling what she had heard about Benjamin while he was still in the army.

“What are you talking about?” Benjamin had returned to his normal appearance, except that the cuff that was ripped and his strong arm was exposed. He walked towards the two girls and asked casually, as if he wanted to change clothes.

“Alice is telling me your story in the army!” Lola sat up nimbly from the hammock. “Have you ever participated in the war? I mean the war ten years ago?”

Benjamin frowned, but he immediately realized that maybe this was an opportunity to let Lola realize the age gap between them and automatically back away. Although, age had no meaning for the werewolf.

“Yes,” Benjamin said while walking.

“Cool!” it seemed to cause the exact opposite effect. Lola ran to Benjamin excitedly and followed him like a koala: “Then you must be a hero!”

Benjamin opened his mouth and didn’t know how to answer for a while.

“Benjamin.” Louise pushed open the back door of the Grande Funeral Home. She was barefoot and only covered with a blanket! The still chilly air made the woman, who was still beautiful even without any makeup, hug her shoulders and ask Benjamin as she headed for the warehouse. “Have you seen Zach? There is a call.”

“Is he not in the office?” Benjamin seized the opportunity to get out and said to Lola and Alice: “You two stay here, I am going to the office.”

Lola watched Benjamin and Louise disappear. Full of vigilance, Lola pulled Alice’s clothes, asked: “Who is that woman?”

Alice sighed and said, “Don’t worry, Lola, she likes my other brother.”

Lola heaved a sigh of relief.

In Zach’s office, Benjamin answered the phone. It was from the city hall, and Anthony’s irritated voice roared out of the receiver: “Where is that guy?! I need an explanation! Who the fuck is Madison!”

Benjamin sighed. It was another trouble, “I’ll go get Zach, you need to wait.”

“Hey! Hey! Benjamin! Ben…”

Benjamin ignored Anthony who roared at the other end of the phone and took a deep breath. The various smells in the air were removed one by one from the werewolf’s sense of smell. A whiff of decay that only werewolves are particularly sensitive to was caught by Benjamin — the scent of vampires. Benjamin raised his eyebrows and left the office to walk to the basement of the Grande Funeral Home.

“What are you doing?” Benjamin frowned. If Grande’s old warehouse is the werewolf’s lair, then the basement is where the vampire really rests. As for the bedroom on the second floor where Louise woke up in the morning, it was just a decoration before Louise showed up...

The werewolf rarely comes to this place where the vampire smell is too heavy. If it had been three days before the full moon, Benjamin would have been unable to stop himself and would have turned into a Wolf as soon as he walked in here.

Zach’s room was very clean, but when Benjamin walked through the room and entered the storage room, it was in a mess.

Zach frowned and stood among a pile of old newspapers that had been opened. “I remember that it was in this month’s report. But I can’t find it now!”

“Are you looking for reports about Raiput High School.” Benjamin picked up a newspaper and looked at the date. It was the newspaper from three years ago at this time.

“Of course! You also remember it, right? The report of ‘Raiput Beaver players’ sudden death from drug use.'” Zach looked at the pile of scattered newspapers in front of him and said, “Am I too getting too old? I have recently felt that my memory is a bit problematic.”

Benjamin patted Zach on the shoulder. He didn’t want to listen to the vampire’s nonsense, “Anthony called and asked about Madison. You go explain him, I’ll find the report.”

Zach shook his head helplessly: “Why do I always have to deal with this kind of trouble.”

The corner of Benjamin’s mouth raised slightly, with a hint of smile, “You are the elder brother.”

It is time to tell everyone why in the Grande family, the vampire is the elder brother, and the werewolf is the younger brother. This has nothing to do with the real age of the two, but a few years ago, in the midst of a debate about who was the real Grande’s eldest son and who was eligible to receive his inheritance, the vampire ‘luckily’ guessed the coin Alice tossed.
