38 Chapter 37 (1/2)

Leon had no idea how a person would be able to read his thoughts, but if he could kill a megalodon, then certainly some people now could read people's minds or at least perceive lies.

”Let's begin… did you spent the last four years alone on an island?” The captain asked.

”Yes,” Leon answered.

The captain looked at Ryoko, and she nodded with her eyes wide open for some reason. It looked like she had seen something, but Leon couldn't tell what it was. Leon just hoped that she hadn't seen him doing something embarrassing like flapping his arms to fly.

”… Did you survive an airplane crash after being attacked by a dragon?” The captain asked.

”Yes.” Leon frowned.

It looked like the captain really just wanted to confirm what Leon had said. Leon started to feel bad because he was hoping to be asked about his abilities, but it was too soon to drop his guard.

”… Did you really kill hundreds of megalodons?” The captain asked.

”… Yes.” Leon answered.

It took a while for Ryoko to nod, and thanks to that, Leon understood her skill. It looked like she could see what a person was thinking to some extent. Since by being asked about such things, Leon would immediately recall those same things. Regardless, Ryoko looked terrified after she nodded several seconds later. She probably had seen Leon's entire trip in that short amount of time.

”I see… you can go now, Ryoko.” The captain said.

Ryoko got up and left the room while making sure that she followed the path more distant from Leon, he felt quite hurt by that. Receive a no from a pretty woman was fine, but receiving a no before even trying was painful. Although Leon wanted to compensate for the lost time, he wouldn't fool around until he returns home.

”It seems you don't really know anything…” The captain let out a long sigh. ”Sorry for… the situation we caused. Here, let me take those handcuffs.”

Leon did the right thing by being patient, even though he said some harsh words, it was clear that he didn't have bad intentions. In the end, everything went well. Although Leon would probably be looked with some stern eyes, he was okay with that. He was there to find a way to go back home, not to become friends of everyone.
