137 Chapter 136 (1/2)

Things were going well, perhaps too well. Leon was living such a good life that he started to kind of fidget, he was still working to solve several problems, but even so, he was having an easy time. He was the kind of guy who couldn't get used to a lifestyle where nothing caused him any trouble; it was all thanks to that island.

But in the end, that was just his instincts warning him that soon he would face some serious problems. He understood that when one of Makoto's ninjas suddenly appeared at Amanda's house when they were having breakfast. Everyone with the sole exception of Leon picked their weapons, even Betty, who already knew them. She was quite the scaredy cat...

”Relax, guys,” Leon said. ”He is one of Makoto's subordinates. Did something happen? Did he sent a message?”

”Lady Yuki has been kidnapped; His Majesty requests your assistance.” The ninja said.

”… Who is Lady Yuki?” Amanda asked.

”She is the princess of Japan,” Leon answered. ”How did that happen? I've never seen her leaving the palace.”

”The contents of the situation are confidential.” The ninja said.

”I guess people like us can't get involved,” Hector said. ”What are you going to do, Leon?”

”You should go and help them; I can teach the survivors while you are away,” Amanda said.

”…Yeah,” Leon nodded after thinking for a while.

”I want to help, but I guess His Majesty doesn't want to spread information more than the necessary,” Betty said.

”Be careful, master,” Gisela said.

Leon was quite troubled by that situation, he and Makoto didn't owe anything to each other, if anything, Makoto would be the one who was owing Leon more than a few favors. However, in times of crisis, it is common for a nation to help an allied nation. The Allied Forces of North-America were still organizing themselves after losing the directors so that Makoto couldn't rely on them. He wanted to rely on Leon… it couldn't be helped, but Leon would have to stop his training.

��If something happens, contact me immediately,” Leon said to everyone.

By the look of things, Makoto wanted to solve that problem quietly, even though his daughter's life was one the line, he was aware that he couldn't make an international commotion. That was why he requested Leon's help alone. Anyway, Leon didn't have many things to carry. He already had two big weapons, so carrying the shield of dawn would be troublesome. Aside from his sword and scythe, he decided to take the gloves, the rings just in case. It goes without saying, but he also was using his armor, cape, and amulet.

”Well, then, I'm going,” Leon said.

”Be careful and try to return as soon as possible,” Amanda said.
