For once, Sunrise was enjoying an actual calm night in Mexico City. In spite of his status as what was essentially a teenager living abroad under his father's wages, the boy had gotten himself somewhat acquainted to the City of Palaces. Unfortunately for him, someone else wasn't particularly acquainted to their new status.

 

His phone rang loud, not helped by the relative silence around the boy in a dark room, the only lights coming from a Sony PlayStation and a TV set he got his hands on. A couple of presses on the screen amidst the sounds of what he had set as his ringtone, the early bits of End of E102, to find a picture of his father. It was from a farming fair, from the time his dad decided that what was best for their little town was to grow a ridiculously large pumpkin. He shrugged, taking in the call.

 

Sunrise: Hey, dad. What's going on?

Papa: How many times have I told you to call me papa, Sunrise?

Sunrise: Well... plenty of times, yeah. I'm sorry, I was focused on something else.

Papa: Ah-ha. I see. I imagine you're working hard on getting the name of our little village into the minds of the entire world, yes?

 

The boy stared at his screen, frozen on pause. Forest Law's fist moving upwards as the large beast known as True Ogre started to fly upwards from the hit. He let out a little chuckle, focusing back on his father.

 

Sunrise: Yeah... uh... planning phase, yes.

Papa: That's very good to know, son. Remember that you're our only hope, the one we're gambling on.

Sunrise: I hope not literally this time, dad. I mean, papa.

Papa: Oh, come now, when has your papa ever made a poor bet?

Sunrise: Didn't you literally bet a tractor over whether it'd rain with uncle Edwin the other month?

Papa: That's not fair, he had the inside scoop.

Sunrise: Looking up the weather forecast isn't an inside scoop, papa. It's what you're supposed to do as a farmer.

Papa: A noble farmer, I'll have you know!

Sunrise: Fine, papa. Did you just want to hear my voice or is there anything you need from me?

Papa: Actually, you're correct, I do need something from you.

Sunrise: Alright, then. What is it?

Papa: The phone number for the VHL's offices.

Sunrise: Well, that should be easy enough and... Wait, why?

Papa: I heard about their European ambitions and I want to secure a team to our lovely Schubbekuteveen.

 

Sunrise blinked, remaining in silence for a second or two.

 

Papa: I fail to hear the number I requested, son.

Sunrise: Look, dad...

Papa: I told you to call me Papa!

Sunrise: Uh... OK, papa. First of all, I don't think I have their number. You're better off sending them an e-mail.

Papa: Hm. E-mails. My one weakness. Then again, I imagine your sister can help me with that.

Sunrise: Yeah, I guess she could. Also, I don't think our village is in their-

 

The phone turned off. Sunrise sighed. His father was probably gonna go and get him embarrassed again.

Wow ahah, i was not expecting that when i first started to read the article. It is really good and i like the story a lot, but it is not much VHL related. Honestly, i think this is the only negative point. Although, i am pretty sure there will be a following part that will more talk about the VHL.
