POV

It was half past 11:25 by now and he was preparing to leave shop as usuals now as go back home to rest as Jaune had a big morning as then his shift was nearly at It's end now as Jaune arc just will be waiting for his replacements and his name was Shuichi as he young in his twenties old as he had just started his shift, and as he's just would be here till 8:00 am in the mornings just then till another one takes his place as Jaune just wouldn't lie himself but the very hour's we're horrible, and more often but what's can he say Jaune is just an employee he can't do anything at all as he started to scrapping the mains counter from dust particles from his wet cloth as he's worked Monday- Friday, 12 am & 8 am as He slept two hour's before opening again as When Jaune check in the very store now as he's can see how is everyone's doing as usual Shuichi slept all night on his off days as a shutting in as He slept even when he worked at times as jaune just sigh at this but he can understand where shuichi is coming from and he doesn't have a social life for any kind of friends as he was more of a shut-in as he looked up at the clock around the main counter as There's was usually quiet hours between 10pm - 6 am at time's and as just has most people were basically sleeping or just busy and as so jaune just decided to help out poor shuichi has he just started to wake him up from his slumber and it was then he woke up from his dream world as then he started to looking around his surrounding and started to get a bit embarrassedly as had been woken up by a customer, he didn't make that mistake again and It was unhealthy what he was doing as but money was tight and he understand about His family needed him to be Barve and they can just start relied on him now.

As then he saw the one who wake him up was Jaune or jai whatever he's name is as he didn't like him at all as the two of them didn't work the same shift has but he still doesn't like him at all as with his blonde hair as his ways of professional when he comes to work and he always gets the job done before him and then he's just comes to work with his motorcycle as he is much of a show of as there is a rumour going on around just about him that's he goes to school the one with all the very petty girl's and women and as this bastard sleep with them and does so many others thing's with them as it just pissing him of about him the very way he just walks and as the way he talks one thing's he can give credit to him as he knows how to speaks Japanese's just perfectly and very fluently as no others foreigners have done but then that even pissing him off as about him as then he's did get to avoid him as possible now though Shuichi just worked the shift after Jaune or as well he's work after Monday to Friday and bastard get a only three day's to work so they're rarely saw each other and Though, based on the few interactions the two had by now as he thought as jaune just watched him leave the chair as moved passed him as Jaune as could tell that Shuichi was undoubtedly awkward around him as it was Nice, but as awkward at time's As then then that was morning as it was jaune time of the shift and he will be meeting with him at late night.

MIDNIGHT

As then the entire day vanish without a trance as after working as it was going to midnight soon as he's just looked at the door as someone else just entered now "Hey, Shuichi." As Jaune just lazily raised a hand in a greeting manner as Shuichi just entered the store as it is his time for shift to change as he then just started to approached the checkout counter towards him as Jaune was read his manga at best in peace " You're coming in for your shift, right bro ?" As Jaune asked him as then Shuichi just started to nodded his head and just at him as Shuichi Hajime was tall and he was Japanese as he was a shutting after he's drop out of school Sometimes don't let his looks deceive you as he is smart as he can tell that he physically started a little company through the internet really makes good money out of him but why does he come here That's different case now he did not require it but as he's has some problems isn't don't like discussing it with just anyone at all "Unfortunately," as he was sighed as he now just as running a hand through his own very hair. Shuichi's gaze flickered off to the side. "Oh, um, sorry to hear that ? I think you'll like it, though-er, the night shift, I mean as there's aren't as many people around here as during the day, so it's quiet." As he told this to jaune as he's was being awkward around him again " yes Maybe," as Jaune just responded and though he wasn't entirely sure if he believed that at all as but he did feel something that he didn't like him at all or that might be his imagination Ah, well, I'd better get going then" as Jaune just stood up from his chair and going back to the corner room into that's storage room has started to change in to his normal clothes as he then he's come out taking the black jacket draped over it and putting on his shoulders. "Goodbye Shuichi" as he started to leave and go back to his home."See you later jaune" As soon as Jaune left his vision, Shuichi went over to the terminal in the break room parallel to the counter to clock in and After doing so he adjusted his forest green uniform vest for what just felt like the hundredth time before stepping out into the store just again. But then he head an bell of the door rang and a man steeped in as He's put Shuichi on edge instantly as the man's gaze was hungry for something's more than food as His looks for one thing as he just glares at him every few seconds now as he's started to pick up some thing's from the very aisle and then slowly making his way towards him at as the check counter towards Shuichi has the very man just then grinned open his very mouthed at him and revealing golden teeth as he's gave Shuichi a small smile back at him

As the very man just disappeared down the aisle and then as The he head an bell of the door rang again as then an Another man entered as noe that's this man was different as he has he had never seen him before in his life as He was a gangster most definitely by him looks alone as he's was yakucha has Shuichi smiled towards him as the man just smiled back at him now.

As the man had hair was brown, and he was dressed in black familiar suit as now he remembers This man is no other as than the member of the yakuza and his eyes we're as light despite the hour has just returned to his own business as the men shopped infornt He's was so tired, yet it's was only Wednesday at best And Then he just heard someone coming towards him as looked up as he's noticed someone approaching as It was the man that set him on edge before as The man set down a single can of beers "Hi boy remember me, what a delight seeing you this fine night " As he's said to him as he was putting his hands in his pockets for some reasons as Shuichi was getting on edge as this might become a full-fledged just robbery if not careful enough as the person was in front of him he's knows him to well and he was his own old time bully from his school days zenith Akira As Shuichi just ignored him at best and started to just ringing up his beer can As he look towards him and told him one thing "sir I need to see your ID and your total is ¥ 250" as he told him this as he just wanted to be over so he's can go back doing something else then deal with him " Come on boy, you know I am old enough and What's a pretty boy like you of all people just doing just out this early in the night anyways ?" As was he's trying to flirt with him If he is God protecting me as he's just wanted to vomit it all out as this was beyond disgusting for him as he's a straight guy he'd rather go after a girl's ass rather than a man's ass in total. "ID, please." He just gritted out as he wants this to be ended as quickly as possible so he could move should as he call police or should he protect themselves What should he do He was so confused right now as he's tried to play it out cool as possible but the man known as Hinata didn't let that budge as he just starts smile even more as he tried to lean on the counter a bit more as he wanted to grab his very neck or something like that and it's was getting a little bit just concerning for himself just now.

The man leaned closer to him as rotten breath of beer and food filling his nose. "It's about the money ain't it, then Shuichi."as the man saying his name made him flinch away as As you knew he just was f***** at that's moment that If he's doesn't complies to anything this man says he might do something's bad or worse take advantage of him again or as just abusing like before and then the very man just laughed. "Do you know I have a hundred ¥ bill just for you now and as why not help me and you'd just have to do something for me in return." As he's started to bribe him as he can't do this has the old man was kind enough to let him stay here and have a job as He can't betray him his family owes him way too much He owes him way too much He can't trade his very trust now as then he just don't know what to do as he was just helpless as he's was cornered all of the bad members started to just come back as then something changed but then Jaune just raise his eyebrows at him , "What would I have to do then ?" As when jaune come into the very picture of the situation's as when he just realized that he never left the place just now as he's was just standing there long time and aswait it to observe the entire situation himself and then act on it and now he just came to his rescues as the very bully just started to lean back of the very counter a bit As Jaune standing there next to the corner of the wall that's lead to the storage room

As he's was there save his co-worker thought but he forgets his manga There's before leaving as he come over to the counter to pick it up but he saw that's very conversation happening As he's just stranded there's and started to listen to there very conversation just of there now and he didn't like it where it was going now.

As the individuals known Hinata and zenith Akira just as started to stand straight in front of him and started to just glare at the blonde but as jaune only just raised his eyebrows at his auctions against him and as saw him try to act intimidating towards the blonde but for jaune Arc This was a little disappointing situations at best As this person here is trying to swindled his very ways co-worker's and at his boss work really get a life now and his ways of dressing is terrible at best but as jaune understands one thing about this man is a bully and trying to get these items for free or something like that as he might be a thief If he is not mistaken as he is not alone as he just saw some boy's and girl at the same age and same color clothes as just they riding some flash kind of motorcycles and few flash's cars with them as a group as they might be troublesome if they cause any problems here or as they're have just entire the gas station with each others together as in group of friends as they're were prepared to stock up and use the gasket as Jaune was a little happy that his boss well have many more customers and ready to buy his very own merchandise but nor swindling him in the matter and Is this punk with them let's find out. As Jaune just started to stand there's in front of him as now narrowings his eyes toward's him as he's started to look a little more a bit intimidating himself now as His co-worker immediately started to flinch as he's just has never seen his co-worker like this before as He's was standing up against someone like him as he has quite the reputation among the Yakuza as who ever tried to harm or to just challenge him He's alway silence them and as then Target their families as well and then humiliate them in public and forces them to leave the entire city or the country immediately now.

As for big Hinata and his partner zenith Akira thinking that's arrogant man had his very own gang members here with him and She could ask theirs assistance if things went south as the stores he always hated this place and that damn old man as he loves it when he robs it's and broken these types of places as he's did heard as one of the police officers love this very place and has some of Yakuza members in the past as Well and it's was a bonus for him as he's might even flesh them out from hiding and beat them up for Good and as what were they can go f*** **** them self in the end as he ran this area and the streets not the old man or the police has and definitely not this blonde bastard too he could be show him that he is carrying his gun and any funny business He might shoot him here and check the money later as He thought at that moment he could take him even in a fight now as maybe as he should try to humble him first and then give him a few punches and with some uppercuts as with an extra a few kicks here and there before shooting him dead in the head later as he's started to stand in fronts of him and started to stare at him and as just then his other's comrades in the store as well and as then in his eyes started to then meet with his as trying to intimidating him and showing him who is the very dominants one around here is as he could hear some music outside maybe the rest are here as well as Maybe we should give him a little hello. As he's thought at the moment point as then so why not mess with him a bit before sinking in' As he thought at that moment as then he put his one finger on jaune very chest "Why don't we do each a big favor as you of the people just stay the ***** out of this one as or this might be bad for you outsider " As he Just trying to threaten and act a little bit tough and intimidatingly toward's jaune but for his technique's wasn't working on him at all As for jaune was just disappointed at this boy behaviours toward's everyone as 'maybe his parents didn't treat him right or there is something else entirely that's he's trying to act tough and doesn't knows how to just speak to his elders now ' as Jaune thought at the very least now. If Jaune was in his young teensy age as then he might be affected by him but now he was an old man as he has seen scary s***... in his life now and has this boy isn't one of them as Jaune was and as become one of those very scary people now as he's needs to end this and go back home and finish his manga and then started to rest and as he needs to go to school in the very morning and as he needs to talk Rias about the very falling angels business as they have been just really quiet almost a week by now and it's was weird.

As for this very boy and his very much lacks are not a threat to him but for his coworker and the store might be as in reality he just might be able to fight them but damaging the store as might be just a problem for his boss and his very own coworkers life as well and that he may not let that happen to them after everything's they have done for him till now and as he needs to be careful and he's has faced many stronger and danger opponents Then before but this man might acting be tough for them and like now Jaune need's to act has carefully around him and maybe all the police as he's may not be alone right now. As Jaune can hear some music outsider going louder has to be one of his very friends now and they're might be nearby Maybe jaune can go and pay them all a visit as well as Jaune vision caught something's as one of the Yakuza very friends

we're coming to the main counter now as then for just some reasons Shuichi start noticed that to he wasn't alone at all and he started to shake and he should call the police now as he's heard something broking and they we're two people were entered inside the store now so we need to deal with this careful as possible. As things might escalade now as Shuichi needs deal with him now or worse come to serve As they might get involved with this moment now As he's saw then jaune Started to back away from them and as Shuichi took this As a chance and head for phone on back of the wall of the main counter now and as then call the police immediately now As for Hinata and as his crew members started to be scared at the moment as they all were seeing that's the blonde man wasn't kidding around them at all as They just saw that they're a little sneaky friend Shuichi was going to go and as just call someone as they care at all about whoever's he calls as one of them wanted to stop him as he's decided to move in front of the blonde as so that they could just interact with Shuichi more But he's was just tried step forward as he's was in front of blonde man as Jaune was stopping him in his tracks now as they knew s*** is going to go down now as if tonight was there's last one and as they better be in their best game right now has they we're starting to crack theirs knuckles now.

As Jaune just saw there's actions as they we're crack theirs knuckles now as they were now prepared for a fight now as he should do the honor and respond with force now has Jaune was now clinching his own fists now has now Jaune Arc was prepared to throw down with all of them now and as then jaune just started to compared to them to himself as the Yakuza members started to examine his build and compared his to the blonde man in front on him as who just might win and who might just walk away now and he's just might be a trained fist fighter and jaune is a veteran at that's as well as the tension between was getting a bit more as minutes pass as all party were ready to fight has they were just waiting for the others sides to throw the first punch now But just they we're just has interrupted by something As then all of sudden as someone phone as started to ring at that moment as then in the room everyone was starting to look at each others as they we're just question themselves and as everyone just we're looking around a bit as who's has that ring tone as it was really attractive as Jaune was just started to question they true attentions toward's him now has a few more minutes as passed as one of Hinata Friend as that's was beside him as then as started to tap on his shoulder and tell him by pointing his fingers at his very Friends pockets now as secondly that his phone already was still ringing as we can just hear it's tone as Hinata just realized it a little bit later as it's was his own phone about the whole situation now as he's can see Jaune as he was just going to laugh as he's was terribly as trying to contain his laughter as what's was going on as even Shuichi was just terribly as trying to contain his laughter as well As Hinata started to get a little embarrassed by this now as this is not how he's want to do things now as he was the members of the most strongest and dangerous families in the whole country as know as Yakuza now and as he's will not be embarrassed by this and check who's the bloody hell is calling him as he pull out his phone as it was a Samsung A 0-5 as he's just brought last week now as then he's just mute his own phone by pressing as the very side button of the very phone now as it was now as on silent mode and he can check as who was just calling him now and it is hour at best as he saw it was someone he knows it was his old classmates sudo as he has kept contact with each other after there's High School as after college as he's started to tapping it's very screen now but as to the Torch, as then the very light of his phone was stinging his eyes, Ichigo color eyes just opened as his new text message as he was glaring at the screen at the moment as he's was just reading it as within few seconds in response just now.

POV

"I can't just believe this as it's did took this long to find confirmation Sona as have they given a descriptions, anything's to make identifying her any easier ?" Rias sat in the office of her friend and as rival Sona Sitri the very current president of the student council for Kuoh Academy as then the very folder in the very crimson's haired ruin princesses hands held information on the very last known descendant of a previously believed extinct pillar family The last member had disappeared after a raid on theirs lands by a band's of stray devil's. As then one of few Purson household was left and as just then survived with few member's after the great war and then the devil civil war had occurred and then it started to dwindled down the number's to just three member's household's in the underworld Afterwards the remaining members and House's made a vote to select a new king and help and rebuild there's broken world once again as well new rules were made by the new king's of devil's and then the current time's only two of the three big family could be found here in this place as it's one of there original territory's of the very underworld and it is connected to its as well and then Rias and Sona two of them are place here to govern it and but then as many different types of supernatural creatures have been shown up recently just until now. There was a report that came down from the office of the four Satan's that's have been detailed findings of a strange garden deep in the forests in a rural area of japan now as that's had the energy's signature of the other Purson family and as then it wouldn't all as the very fallen angels are been active around that's spot for the last two weeks by now and that very initial has been report by now as came out a year ago, and was being thoroughly investigated, and up until now it was reported that nothing concrete other than the residual magic in the area was found and it's was shocking to know about this as it's was happening for the last five year's by now and she was receiving it now when the fallen angel as decided to involved themselves in the matter Sona shook her head to her friend. "Nothings is absolute. The garden was the only thing to go on in the very first place as no other evidence was found in the surrounding area but then there was another one of reports of a sighting of a man in amour around that area with some reading in Europe around 5 years ago and then it just disappeared after just a few month of tracking a down as then it was confirmed by the holy church about the strange individual they faced for he disappeared from that place ever since them and it is now revealing another place that is in Japan now has it couldn't be an convincedence But that's is not why I called you here."

As then Rias set the folder down to give the Sitri heir her full attention and knowing that's if Sona felt it was necessary to call her for an very immediately private meeting as just than it was an truly urgent matter and then Sona sat forward in her seat at her desk, elbows propped on the desk, and then fingers laced together. She's took a deep breath in before letting it out slowly. As She was not just one for speculation of to jump to conclusions, but as she just thought this was the best course of action. "Last week, my peerage and I we're on the outskirts of town for some group training. After dismissing everyone to go home, Tsubaki and I felt a small surge of magic close by and followed it has we found an exact replica of the garden in the report, and it was recently made….maybe a few hours before we found it." As then Rias' eyes went wide at what Sona was implying as just then another unknown members of the Person family's could be in theirs territory, alive and well, but was hiding for some reasons instead of returning home. "But then I'm assuming you haven't sent a full report to your sister then ? And why's wait a week to share this with me?" As Rias asked her friend as then she told her reason "I didn't want to bring any more attention to either of us just than we already get without reason but then.....I've been monitoring that's area since then with familiars... Nothing had come up until this morning. My familiar alerted me as soon has someone walked into the gardens." As just then Rias started nodded in understanding anf the eye contact between the two made it clear how important they felt it was to have another pillar house back on the map. "I understand, so..…What did you find ?" Sona's face went from neutral to one of uncertainty. The daughter of the family that had been missing was slightly older then them and just so the info she gathered was both concerning and confusing." As what we saw and then gained that There's were two people and both hidden by magical distortion One was clearly male about 5'8. The other was most definitely female but then….. she couldn't be more than 3 or 4 years old…..as It was the little girl that's altered the garden…..its her magic that carries the demonic signature." As Rias' face took on a harder look as one of the last raid and battle on the underworld mountain side and that was hundreds of years ago as then one of that family that rule that very magic and territory was no other's than Archduke or the Andrealphus and then there's was another one as she can't put her fingers towards it.....was Abaddon yes they were one of the few families that's ruled that area the most as it inhabited forests and magic sites diapers considered learning areas and it help one on the most greatest military force around them as teesri families make sure that the defences were just up the entire time now and then the report tells that many of the many among the with three families children just were unmarried and then had no children to the very knowledge of anyone's in the very underworlds now.

As then just then an very rather unpleasant thoughts running through Rias' mind but then she still needed to wait If what Sona was saying was true, and the last member was here in their land, and it happened that it was a small girl and The very man with her had many questions to answer to them "Do you have a plan to find these two ?" Rias asked her and then an smirked across Sona's face said that she had already thought of that. "Yes. And we will get to the bottom of this but then in the mean time would as it a day with another's problem at hand." As Sona told her as then Rias just raised her eyes toward's her " what is it?" As then she can only seen her friend as her very glasses reflected a white glow in him "~ you know what I mean rias~" as then Rias started realise something and then bang

CHANGING LOCATION

OLD SHCOOL BUILDING

TWENTY MINUTES LATER

POV

As after a while Rias Gremory started to walked back towards her office and base of operation and it's was her clubroom but then she remembers now why she was behaving like that in the end it was because Rias just decided to take issei from sona as she's was just going to choose Issei first but then she's remembers Jaune was attacked first and she's acted upon it and then the very results we're not what she was looking for and it ended up in failure and then Issei was on her list but Sona wanted him for herself but Rias double cross and take advantage of the situation's and she's process to take him but then the rest is history but as she did feel bad what she did as she told her the very truth about jaune little situation and then she started to understand her situation and but still what she did was breaching of trust as she like be honest given up something in the future now and that's she can agree with her as she's owns her a favour now and then that very matters was settled down but then Rias started to remember what tell her as she was in deep thought over what her and Sona had gone over the night prior. Learning of who just might be in there's territory now as it's was just equally exciting and scary at the some time and then Jaune and issei situation now and then that was a matter very much important now but then just Exciting for the possibility of meetings a member of the family that's had such great control over nature and magic that's it bordered on the ridiculous as then as which kind of family she going to meet as this just might be her chance to see and talk to but then Scary for the thought of just why's this person was in hiding, and who might be after them….....and just therefore potentially drawn to this very territory to find them.....

As then she open the front door of her office and She barely made it into the seat of her desk just when the others member's of her peerage started to came filing into the room as well. Akeno, Kiba and Koneko all just looking to their very king with questions faces They're hadn't been told just what the meeting between Rias and Sona had been about, only that they would learn soon if anything came of it as then she's sat in silence in her chair as Rias was still deep in thought as when Akeno placed a cup just in front of her hands, causing her to look up at her queen. She smiled as she picked up the tea that was offered to her. "Thank you Akeno." Rias said as she's just blew on the hot liquid and took a sip of the tea "You're welcome President" as Akeno replied with a smile and just small bow of her head as then after few minutes of silence between everyone's as Rias finished her tea as she gathered the words to share with her very peerage And has the last sip was swallowed as it was time to fill in the members of her small family "Akeno, Kiba, Koneko I need thing to talk to you about my meeting with Sona yesterday." Rias said, taking on her regal heiress persona as the three members picked up on the tone and quickly filled in the seats around the room to await the briefings that Kiba had predicted. "The information I will be sharing with you is strictly confidential to the heads and heirs of the pillar families, I need to be clear on that before we continue before the topic." Rias' eye's swept the room, seeing her peerage members all nodding with serious expression's she's then continued. "Okay. A year ago some evidence was found that's might have suggested that's there was a living members of what was thought of to be an extinct pillar house now has The 4 Satans had an investigations started that only confirmed that the evidence indeed held the distinct magical signatures of Archduke or the Andrealphus and then there's was another one as she can't put her fingers towards it....was Abaddon family's as these have not confirmed yet but they are one of the family signatures can be detected in the surrounding areas didn't yield any new information is still to go on and as so is the very investigations was effectively dead until more was found. That's brings me to my meeting with Sona… Until anything new is confirmed, we are not to spread any information's to give friends or our distant relatives false hope" As Rias explain to everyone's as then everyone nodded at her " Sona told me that she may have found sufficient evideynce to suggest that the very devil descendants may be living in this area, but is still in hiding. So we are to help Sona once she narrows down the locations of this person we want to approach them carefully as we still don't want them to feel threatened in any type of case as they're just had been trying to escape someone if it's seem as we just wants to make them feel safe around us all ." As Rias explained slowly to everyone as then just has making sure that's every single word was carefully as taken in and understood has this would be the very absolutes worst time to take things too far for everyone just now.

As Once again her peerage all nodded, signaling that they all had a grasp of the very situations as They had each been a part of her peerage long enough to know how devil society valued it's pillar member's, the pure bloods, and just were vicious to punish those just that dwindled their very numbers without proper cause as then the voice of caution and reason has Kiba spoke up."President and... if Lady Sitri feels she has enough evidence, as why not bring this to higher members of the court ?" His question was valid, and by the look's of the two female members of her peerage as they're hadn't thought of the same thing as Rias sighed, this potential mission had the chance to take a dark turn, but hoped just beyond hope that's it would all turn out alright. "Because of who…...or lack thereof, Sona saw in her video evidence." As Rias just paused as before continuing "Sona had her very familiar along with her peerages, wathcing the areas throughout the week to hopefully get visual confirmation of the individual but then…... It just wasn't quite what matches up with the last known member of the family now but as just then report about them didn't match at all now ....as be just twenty years old now as the video Sona has was magically distorted to rid the video of any..... defining features But it showed a male of approximately 5 foot 8….along with a little girl estimated to be 3 to 4 years old And then..... it is possibility their more than one in that area as it was even reported that there's was just as another girl around that some area and then again we can't make sure as the video was cut after that as the very Magical energy came from the little girl's as If the female or male figure we're taller or at least in the last reports appeared in theirs 20's…...we would have brought to either my brother or Sona's sister. But that isn't the case, so we need more proof before bringing the info forward." It's was then that's the bell signaling the approaching time for school to begin, rang. It was also at the same time as that Rias had a magic circle appear next to her ear. As then the very member's of her peerage gathered their belongings, they all had a feeling that this would be a long day. But before they could exit the club room, Rias spoke once more after she just listened to the voice through as the magical application. "Everyone as we've been put on a search and destroy missive for a stray once dusk arrives and remembered Meet back here after school for further info. Understood?" As she's looked toward everyone.

" " " YES PRESIDENT!" " "

PRESENT TIME

POV

it was then she was the rest of them spend there very time doing till now has Night had fallen and the ORC members were moving into the last known area and then before preparing for the hunt as they had all just completed there very task and paperwork before just going out has Sona and her familiar have spotted the very stray as then Rias started to summons a magic circle in her office as everyone has been summoned just immediately as one by one as everyone to form a circles around each other's as they moved along the edge of town where a few scattered houses came up to the large forest as then the very hunt begins as the very stray was known to be agile, and just liked to use forests like the one they were currently in to stay out of sight from both prey and any pursuers by jumping from tree to tree as the very information that the duke handed down said that the very stray had once been a servant to the Shax family, but had kidnapped and killed a fews other's servant's and taken off afterword. As Rias, Akeno, Kiba and Koneko as made theirs way through the forest as they picked up on the strays trail and made to follow it's as the very pace they kept was moderate so then they could just keep an eye on their surrounding and not be taken by surprise as the very darkening forest was making that's very increasingly difficult even with theirs better than average vision in the darkness as the very stench that was Koneko was following to lead the search party started to changes, now having the iron hint in it that's suggested blood had been shed in the areas recently and but then the very group started to picked up the very pace worried that another victim had fallen to the stray Making their way through the thick forestry as they spotted a set of bloody claw marks on one of the larger trees as which led them to a bloody trail from something's that's just being dragged along the ground. As the trail of blood got thicker, the forest was thinning out, and the light of the moon illuminated the area around them. A little further this ways." Koneko told the group As they just came around large boulder, they spotted their target, crouched over something's on the very ground just now as Rias stepped in front of everyone else, struck a confident posture and raised her voice to the stray, who had just yet to notice them now. "Stray servant of Lord Shax, You have been ordered to be put down for your crimes against the underworld!" Rias prepared a ball of her families famed power of destruction in her hand, as the very stray picked up its head to face the voice When it turned to face Rias and her peerage, its face somewhat resembled that of a wolf now and was covered in the blood of it's victims. It's had a strand of flesh hanging from one of the large canine teeth in its long mouth as then the Stray narrowed its large black eyes and As let a hateful growl escape towards them.

The ORC all set themselves into combat position has ready for the very stray to charge at them now and as then it was then rias shot her ball of destruction at the stray's head first as then the very red and black orb of power passed over the stray as it leaned forward and onto all four limbs, before using its position to launch itself straight up into the tree line and jump from trees to trees faster as than any its executioner's could run on flat ground. "President as it's heading towards the neighborhood !" Akeno called out to her king. If they lost the stray in the midst of humans as the resulting bloodshed could have Rias removed from territory's. The very group sprinted in the direction the stray had left, and hoped they could catch it before it's reached toward's the very homes that were only a mile ahead. "I just hope everything end up fine in the end as she's just don't want to make her own mistakes worsening for anyone around here " As Rias just thought at the moment and she's run towards the stray in full speed.

An it's was cold night in the regions of Japan has rain could be seen around him and as the foot steps could be heard everywhere as people just as we're just has seen walking around downtown as neon lights of the city could be as they we're shining as it was refected as yellow and black hooded shade figure as just was being reflected by Rain on the very ground as many different types of car's we're moving around his very surroundings as the mystery's figure was just driving around on his motorcycle and through the crowd of cars around him as he can people walking around the footpath with the road as the dark and rainy as streets of Tokyo at the night time as the person was wearing a dark black yellow hoodie as with a very black cargo style jeans and some white sneakers as well as it was looking like a very completely ordinary early adult has he was driving around just while had his mask on his face as he walk the streets at night. As It was not one of his only characteristics and as he's was aside from the as very black hilt of a sword strapped to his waist As he just drived his bike in silence has he's was just needed to be some where's right now or Just tryings stroll around the entire region's as he's was trying to figure out what to do next in his life from now on has

the figure passed by store with numerous televisions in it's very much display as it's was all playing all the same stations at the same time has He paused for a moment there as his very much dull and his cerulean-blue eyes as looking at the newscast in an attempt to take his mind off the event's of the previous minutes age few weeks by now as it just transpired in his very life now as he is definitely going to be fired now and he's needs to choose a new path soon and later now.

As an very much well dressed woman with lavender-colored hair turned towards the camera and spoke in Japanese "In other news and yet another one of the Japanese councilman has been as outed for corrupt and he will be sentence to jail as the court will decide it's fate and it's action's against him and with very is numerous crime's that has been supported him and Reported by the authorities by a strange individuals that has been claiming that has diseasing within legal immigrants as and enslavement from others country and attempt stealing hospital money and numerously individuals present with him as it will be investigated in due time and after they have verified the culprit and connections to its companies and has extortions and other as That as in other news the very frequently as new figuring over very much the new racing industry

a legend or a rumour at best but it is said that he will have the mark of his family's house and as be able to produce the four royal arma-."As the young man just heaved as a another sighed before as continuing his nightly walk through the busy street's of the city has The night was the only time that he was able to get to himself anymore as the rest of it was spent being an errand boy now 'Hmph,' he's laughed to himself, 'Not like I've much else to do anyway now has This is truly has very stranger compared to his own and from his last visit from another world as they did not have this much complications and so much rules and as since then but when did he actually speak and listen to their language as it was like a common tongue for him but he still doesn't understand what's going on Why is he keep on happening to him of all people "life is strange As he just thought and then he just sighed Jaune was quite confused at the time that what is going on in his life he wakes up early in the morning as he continues with his duty as it store clerk for a week now as he still makes money but as it's still better to be homeless in this new world as this very world has technology and he has no idea how to operate them at all but then as again they are similar to few things back to remnants

as he were seeing weird things as cars we're different From where's he's belong to and here there cool bike.

As then he just pated his bike gas tank As jaune just could just still remember as it's was as like yesterday as he was in his home as he was while fighting a giant dragon and flying whales and terrorist organisations as many waves of monster's that's was attacking his allies as what's happened to him as it's was like was yesterday in his life now turned around upside down as he was in very new strange world as he's was just going to find his very ways back to his old home now but until then he'll wait basically work things out here as who knew what more surprises this world have for him as he thought as jaune drive away in the night as he needs a place to think and relax as he thought has Jaune just thinking about some places like an bar as then while driving is bike around highway as he could just at least enjoy the very night skies as while driving with fresh air around him as all he could do was think and drive away towards his very destination just now.

As Jaune was driving his bike In the street's of kuoh as then he came to an eatery as he had planned now as it was called the Roman hut house diner as it was one of the few diners he has been in as it was one of the European diners as that open here more than 15 years ago by the locals here as he was exploring just the area just a few day's he come across this place as then he tried it out and the very results he just loved it and then he started to visit it until now he's has just is and as became a regular customer But then it doesn't matter what people say at least the damn drinks and the food is good as he enjoys his time here as they're quite even cheap prices as he's remembers when he first came here a few day ago and quantity is great as well and then after few moment's later he's was right and front over at the back of the buildings of the diner now As he's was now parking it around the streets as the truth is as there's less parking space in here as he needs to park it as around the entire building now as a safe spot as people's might try to take advantage of his bike now but he doubts anyone can do that as he was Getting off his ninja 11 has on his very right now as then he's started to lock it with some safeties as to just keep it safe now as he was noticed a little bit has some couples entering the dinner called Roman hut house now as "Hm, I bet Yang would like This kind of place but I highly doubted or Ruby no, maybe Blake as the place sales fish and so many different variety of them" He thought out loud as Feeling like he could use some drink and some damn good food as he was really hungry and as Jaune did need's a very cooled damn drink has well for that long journey now as he's was stretching himself before started to walk into the diner now. As Jaune entered the diner now as he was now as started to just glanced at the store's sign now and as he saw just another couple was now casually entered as well, as One of the people's just had hood drawn over there head now But he doesn't need to be suspicious as people or casually like that around here as he was now seeing the entire area has it's was just the same as he just left as two ago now as that good.

"Why good evening there's jaune !" The jolly chef just greeted him as while polishing an empty glass front of him as He had brown hair and brown beard, and as had on a nice kimono with a green apron around him. As he was the owner of the shop "What can I get for ya blonde boy ?" As Jaune took a seat on a stool and just pondered some water for a moments for himself now as he just was now smiling as he knew his good customer has returned " So boy how was your duties coming along " As he's ask him as he was waiting for his customer to order. "One curry with rice and ramen with extra beef and one beer cup boss !" As jaune just called out to the chef and told him his order as he was now laying on the counter now as he's saw and heard What's the chef told them as then he's started to look towards him and he started to answer him "I'm fine sir You know how life is It takes you one place to another as unexpectedly " As jaune then just told his story to the chef as he just was listening to him now as just he was busily writing down other customers orders now as just then awhile the geno was nodded at jaune and his very journeys into the far East as the chief as then decided to leave towards the kitchen now. "You got it, jaune !" replied the chef/boss, noting my order before disappearing into the kitchen. But in reality as jaune did initially craved ramen then Curry and rice but the aromatic wafts of curry from other tables enticed me to try something's different once a while and has Why not just combine it's ramen would beef and cold beer as that is true heaven As he's was really lucky that as he was able to get up do every thing or anything in his entire life now as even considering his own age that's he's will be basically an old man till he will have a way back home but then what's if his friend's fall here and he was just sitting here and doing nothing but then as again what can he do as this world is it's very big and he doesn't knows which place to check what to start with as that might be biggest disadvantage and life as than he just doesn't have system to track them or any kind of contact's that he can use to his very disposal Even now in his very life now has considering his very moral and his very code of honor that he has received but then again he might not deserve it as after so long after as what's happened at his very home world then the bridge and how will his friend's will react toward's what he did till now and just everything's seems like a dream to him but in the end did he still want to be just a hero right ? Or I have just started to change my very own priorities now ? As he question himself above it.

As jaune just looked around his surroundings around and trying to understand something's but then again

But what was the cost in the end just everything's as he lost his home then he lost his friend's then he lost his family's then he lost himself but still he just did not give up hope as he did tried and he did at least saved many people's life and he'll make sure he would have done better with enough time but then again he didn't and now I think about it now it I think I did changed as then I don't want to be a huntsman anymore as I have seen the dark side of this job and I wasn't prepared to face the evil and as the responsible as in my opinion I have just failed and in the end I failed to save penny's.

but I think it's time to put sword down the sword as it time to live my life as it was just better not to pick it up again as his very family has fought for centuries as he learned and realized the very truth and then has the very sacrifices they have made to get here as he just throw that's away to become a hero himself but in the end he realized the dark truth behinds it and he's was just not ready for it and he should have learned to his father and mother but what done is done he'll make sure that he will tell his future children if he have just any the very truth about being a hero is maybe if they wanted to be one day they'll could be better than him and carry out the good legacy of theirs own as Jaune should have done the same He always wanted to be in his family's footsteps to become like them to honor them but he had everything as he just tossed it away to be a hero and then in the process he then just lost everything and I was greatest fool' As he thought. He was just foolish at the time he wanted to be a hero to prove himself but to who he's wanted to prove it to in the end they're all gone now He's all alone in this new strange world as he will rebuild again and maybe one day he'll become someone will be better too help his original world as if he went back one day he will finish what his family and he started and he's will set things right again for another's generations doesn't need to wake up for war and for tyranny in the end That's was his family's true goal as they are true knights of vale so is he and he's will honour it till the end of his days.

But then what if fallen angel or others like them attack him again and threaten his life again as that moment that made him think as they did attack him and jaune is still trying to grasp on the situations but then if that happens again 'then I have to defend myself against them and who knows how might come after me and I need to be prepared for that moment " As he thought When the last he fought one he was unprepared and he underestimated his opponents and pay the prices and then he should practice with semblance again as he did manage to heal at first but next time he's might not be lucky as he have made up his very mind Jaune is going to start practicing with his sword and he's still has his others weapons stash and his own armour as well and maybe it time to start fixing something's but he did kill penny with his sword but then he's can use his whip and guns or he can purchased sword maybe he can ask Rias about it as he is just fighting magical beings and they might have magical item's and just related towards them and there's are still so much he didn't know about this world and it's rule and it's very much frustrating a time's as he's then let out a sight. But that's for another time as right now he's needs to make sure he's is in good health as a health mind is a good body or is it the opposite quote now and he just needs to choose and master his skills As he just still remember's his very scouting skills and C.Q.C and then his extra lesson from Atlas instructors now and he needs to keep practicing with his skills and he just needs to improve himself further down now if he want to survive this world's madness they're weren't failing as him either now and as just honestly as it did feel's like his very skills has just became even much worse from time to time by now as jaune thought still waiting for his food to come as then he had a Idea maybe just why not he just join a martial club or sword club and if he remember one at the school maybe he should join them it might be quite fun as well he had to make sure as he maintains his very strengths around them as if he not careful around them it's might be bad now has one wrong move has they might have passed aways or worst case scenario's they could have died As he's thought as Jaune just really should go back and visit them in the morning and maybe then he's can talk to her about others thing's now and then about devil's. Anyway as he is thanks to those customers and there advice from his very past job as hanzo's counter boy in his convenience very store as he managed to find a great place to eat for cheap and as just Like a silent spectator, jaune had to listened to their conversation as and grievances about life as an adult now as it was one word he liked "Classic" and It's did brought back memories of the good old days with as his old friends and family now as it's bought a smile to his face now.

As Jaune just started to sipping on nice cool water as he served himself as he started to listen to the music that's was playing in the diner as jaune just was quite happy now as he really gets to relaxed myself on the chair It has been a long time since I did treated myself to some excellent food and amosphere now ' As he's just thought to himself now As For the last few days It was quite hectic for him but in the end as managed to fulfill his duties and get himself an degree but That's all it's mattered In the end to get a job but jaune even as got himself an ID card in the past as it all work out in the end as he can just relax. It's better to what's his university friends told them or took him to one of their very own diners and bars as it was noisy that was for sure and as they're we're always crowded with many strange people as Jaune could even as just as smell and seen some very much students as they were just smoking some cigarettes as in the very diner and has they're very bars has Jaune did even remembered to even bullied other kids as Jaune never did like it so as he never did like hanging out in those spots as it's did remind him so much of his old bullies but at least they had a sense of moral's and a code in the end as they did defend the city when the times came and what's makes him happy is that it's was good they changed but as people here damn the monsters that's for sure as he remember one of them try to strip as one of the girls naked in front of the very boys as laugh at her for being a s*** or some sort as she was crying her eyes out from humiliation as it self So he's just took charge afterwards as Jaune brought out as one of his jackets and lending it to those girls as then he's escorted her back to their rooms and help them change as they're went into the very changing rooms and changed her clothes while he's guarded their doors as then those girls happily accepted his help as he even said thank you and then he left as that's was the last of it he saw those girls as then he's just decided to graduate and transfer to another post after that as they were really were getting on his nerve as he hate bullies What he hates the most is becomings one himself in the end.

So times just went on as he's kept on studying in his home as he was getting bored over there as his only study and he's had to eat as one day he decides to go to convenient store and they he met a contact and he and him both started to small talk until it becomes an proper conversation as That's all he did or exercised sometimes as jaune meet one of his new friends over there's as his name was Suzuki Kia as then they both just became good friends as they kept on talking and started to get to know each other as they alway's talk about many differently topic's as jaune just really like his style and his way of speaking as He's even tried to hook him up with some girls one time as jaune had to run away from them as he's was just wasn't entrusted in any kind of relationship at all as Jaune was married as just Once to a redhead and then there was Cinder. And he's doesn't want to go down to that mass again

as they were talking until the topic came next to a car that he bought as he called it and as Supra as he was so hyped about it's then as then he introduced me to something as to midnight club off of sort as it's was in underground racing club as we'll they work as a crew of racer now as they race others people on the street. But At first Jaune wasn't that interested in cars at all as he did buy himself a two different bike a few day's

agony and his friend did help him get one as then he remembered he need to get himself a driver's license Maybe he'll do that later as he's remembered why not Just go with him as his new friends was insisting him as introduce him to the world of underground racing as they all visit the very places as he's might like it as that as how it all went down after that now as he was introduced to their very locals racers and he's learned so much at that day about how to make more easy as ever more stable money's and some of them are legal Races now as then jaune was just introduced has to one the biker gang that have organisation bike races around here and the thing's he learned that night has he will never forget about it now as he just listened in.

As then the door of the kitchen open as the chef was coming out with a trays of many orders at the same times as chief started to put them all down in front of his customers and then he came towords jaune now and then placed his order in front of him "Here, your order enjoy, kid," As the chef as said to him as he was starting to leave the counter and as went towards the other customers to take their orders and to place their orders as well on their respectable tables as the chef just delivering a steaming plate of delectable curry as with rice and an bowl off ramen with extra beef in the side now and as just then with one cold beer glass as Jaune was looked at the delicious and just as inviting foods served to him I expected the appearance of the dish to match the tastes, or my day would be ruined As Jaune started to eat his dinner now as he did just notice something in his curry now as there was a big chicken leg in it as It was very much concerning as he remember he did not just order any chicken in it's as the chef might have mistaken it with someone's else order now and as then just jaune started to just notice something in his ramen as well as it did had eggs in it as now Jaune was started to get confused as he just didn't remember ordering that at all now as he's just Started to raises his hand's and has called out to the chef again "excuse me chef ...I think you messed up one of your orders as There is a very big chicken leg in my plates and There are some eggs in ramen bowl now last time check I didn't even order them" then as Jaune remarked is question towards the chief as he's just had now returning back towards as the customer eyes he expected to have him as very surprised facial features on his face as the chef might be getting oldat as you might have mistaken it has for someone else's food as the generosity and given the affordable price towards just the very food as he thought of that's very moment But what's happened next Just surprise him even further as he's just started to laugh as he never thought they were something very funny around here or "Hahaha, don't worry, kid as just enjoy it as... this one dael is on the house as you did quite the work for these as past few months and You did look very pale and weak.... No offence, but of course has I don't know what you went through or been through by now but as at least this is your reward but you just should enjoy it." the very older chef offered with a comforting smile on his very face as this was the first time that's someone no This is the second time that's someone has been this kind to work for me again as he just will repay them one day As jaune was just speechless as yet it warmed his heart a lot as Like jaune said as this before as he's will definitely repay them back one day now "but...No offence chef I really do appreciate your kindness I owe you one and one day I will repay you." As he told him this and with an smile on his face has he started to nodded at him As he's was quite happy but as he will do something's to pay it as it will not sit and jaune will think of something's in the near future Until then he'll just eat It's very food and go home to sleep as yet it seemed like the chef sensed it what he was saying as he knows that the very boy will pay him back as he has met and seen the boy in action and as what has old msn told him about as It's quite true has his boy is truly a blessing towards as them has who's asked us old people these days. "Itadakimasu..." As he just muttered before started to eat his food now as he's did learn this very gestures from his local around here and it was saying that done before food is eating

As Jaune started to just scoop his very spoon into his plate of Curry and rice as with each spoonful as filled with rice and curry with as some where with chicken bite's as but it was now going into his very own mouth now as jaune Arc just couldn't contain his very delight and as his very own hunger increased by as the very second now but at the very moment as all of his past problems and frustrations as it was all Suddenly just disappeared from any complete trace by now as just A tear glistened at the corner of his eye - as it was his very first warm meal in ages now "Delicious," As all Jaune can say in the end of it as just this just was so much better than that contain food as that sells in the supermarkets and convenience stores now as It was starting to get very unhealthy to keep on replying on those junk food's and those take out as he's doesn't realised that's he was making a puppy dog face as he was kept on eating and just making noise at the same times as the chef came by to check on jaune as what he saw next was actually adorable as geno was very glad that the boy liked it has when the first time geno met the blonde boy know as Jaune Arc as he was just basically lost cause at the time but as why's wouldn't

he's not from this very area or country to begin with as now as the kid was basically an foreigner now has he did heard from old man who is his good old friend back in the days and thing one he knows and that is quality and loyalty of a person and this person is that. As then Jaune was still eating his food as he had just heard from the local police officer about a racer and it very features that matches jaune but he knows not to involve himself with matter with his customise now as then he did asked about it and then he's looked at the young adult and he is still better than many other now

As he did made to refrained from appearing in public very openly and very much dining in restaurant's has opting for convenient food at the Family Mart as He's remembers He did something that he shouldn't be so proud of as he did break some traffic rules and Had to run away from the very police a few occasion with his friends in the past now when they were driving theirs car as he was not drive there very racing machines as they're might be a little too much for him to handle as Jaune could see how they were shifting their's gears constantly as Jaune just remembers as they were all called street racers now as they're all have held many different street races now and has they even bet very much money and then as they Sometime bet there's very cars and with bikes as well and some races were different now Yet the police don't like them at all now has after the very day jaune was not in streets racing.

or in any of those events at all as Jaune as had more important things to deal with at the time as he did just heard stories from the rest of the crew members and as sometime as then after since recent events and it did involve trouble well then three days passed as the police did found out about them and decided to arrest them on the spot as He heard his friend just got away from them but some of his others buddy didn't and it was since then they have been seen around here and he thinks Jaune gotten very lucky as the police don't suspected on him as he's wasn't there that night and as he's can't say the same for the others weren't fast enough and lucky enough as to escapes themselves but then thing's gotten worse as the other day as the very news hit the Every news channel as then it was a hunt for all of those very people's as who are and just basically involved in it and as some time ago what are the police officers doing these days no one knows for sure as they might came to my house for questioning as then I answered everything's honestly and as then told them nothing about my friend or my environment and customers that who was involved or not involved in their street races now and further than dew as they left me and business alone as After that very incident. As there's we're no sign of any arrest or cops near me and my very friend here is eating peacefully and there has been no sign of trouble around here now as then everything is cool as then he can work in peace now.

But then again thing's might be a little different or as then difficult as the kid did fought against the Yakuza as well then that might be a problem possible there's as jaune did had a mystery aura around him as jaune just don't have an ID card at all with him as geno was even concerned that the as kid didn't end up with the wrong kind of crowd now as considering those damn thugs known as the Yakuza boys as he's knew few of them back in the day now and has they can be quiet problematic little bunch but as these new kids thinks they're badasses or something as well and they even attacked some of our shop's in the past but we delet with it with peace talk with them but as what makes it worse is that they try to pick up fight with akaza and that was a bad call to make as he has a reputation of his own to hold as when he's was younger he's made some good friends in the police and in the Yakuza as he did them favors as they're did him some favors too but it didn't matter that as just that kind of a person is akaza he can be nice at times but he still can be very scary at that time but then again as that time is gone now as He was an old elderly person now as who just likes to help his very neighborhood and family and his very friends now As they're would let authorities deal with this matter but they did not had any choice but to keep jaune around here has they just can't send them aways anywhere now as that's just might be a breach of protocols for them all as well and they don't want a dirty consciences on their's heads that they basically will tried to killed the innocent teen as so the provided him to stuff and resources that as he needs to survive as no matter what's many people's just say about him Jaune as showed his worth towards everyone else as even helped the very locals around here time by time As for a reward why not give him a good meal and as a little more discount as his regular customer has he thought of that moments and he had prove in himself.

But Geno did had bad feeling about something and it was different to explain but he will just ignore it for the very moment one thing he like about Jaune more that he was a hard worker personality as the very least he had just earned his places and he heard about jaune was trying to finished Japanese educational system as he knows it by experience that it's not an easy task just now as he remembers how himself struggled just he was in school himself back in the day if He thinks about it now as jaune just want to completing it all in a few months time now and he then sable place to live in and a proper job as well and then if he's finishes his study from the academy's so jaune can enter just can university and just getting himself a degree no less in this damn age now as he did wish he or just one of his kids we're that's smart but it's better this way at least his kids have a shop to run in the end and at least the blonde kid is doing great with his life as he even saw his motorcycle and it is a Kawasaki ninja it's a classic one the kid had taste Kid even managed as to bought himself his very first vehicle to drive in the country but as He hopes he has his driver's license with him that the traffic police does not arrest him for you know the rest as he even was wondering that what will this kid next step in life will be as do now but then is he's then planning on living in Japan or moving out one day as then if he's is staying then jaune Arc just needs to get himself a wife soon enough as if he wants to live as in the community as they all have many strict rules now. it's not that the judgmental it's that it brings the wrong crowd and the very wrong message at the same time as Geno did remembers as What his parents used to tell him as he never did understood them but as when he Started to get older He understood them perfectly well as it attracts bad people at best and that might a problem for the kid to face but he can wait and see as maybe one or few of the girls in his academy might be interested in him if that the case then he let fate teach and guiding the kid to a better life now as if thing's go the wrong ways he will give a hand to the kid in need.

As then he started to pay attention to the kid again as what was he doing and as the step out the kitchen to check on everyone here as he entered dining hall as he eye's just landed toward's blonde kid as he nearly is completed with his very dinner as when jaune just saw again towards his plate as his rice and curry was finished has Jaune's has even started to eat his very own ramen with eggs as he could say one thing he is full as then he decided to start drinking his very cold a beer at the as same time and next thing's he's know it was all gone by then Well what can he say as he was looking forward for his very own drink to last as quite. As Jaune himself having quite a blast himself as he's did love this place and as it's very own cuisine It's not that bad but as it's still quite better for many places he has by now. As then the chef was rubbing the back of his neck as he just unintentionally scared his very as own customer now "Sorry for startling you and Here and have this some of a tempura for you now Jaune," As the chef just added as then he's just then placing a plate of three big fresh shrimp tempuras before me as at that very moment it was pretty sure jaune didn't order anything just except for the curry....And some ramen now as but Maybe he just gave it to the wrong customer ? As then he was looking at him as the chef understand what was on his mind now "Ah, and no, I didn't give it to the wrong person now kid as It....was something's as I had whipped real quick for you now." As he told this to him as Jaune had question mark on his head now as he asked him "...Why?" As he's raise his eyebrows at him as ehat is catch as this is the first for him "Hey kid.... as just don't look at me auspicious as This is on the house so I hope You a big guy, right? As I'm sure you can eat more now ! ...Don't worry just about it this one is on the house again... jaune as You have done a very good work as you have proven the very impossible to everyone's around here entirely to the community now as what's is a example of an true hard worker person is just now and that's means a lot around here as I don't know what happened or what's the real situation that brought you here a despite just as everything you Might have basically lost and didn't know where's to go as you have proven that's you are worthy to live here amongst us now as you just have proven us time and times again as you just reminded me of my kids now as very responsibilities now has it will be terrible if I let you leave without feeling full. So enjoy it." As Jaune was Just speech less as what just happened right non "I-" . As jaune wants to just try to understand what just happened right now and looked toward the chief and with circle OO gester on his face "Sorry, can't hear you kid and I have some customers waiting for me now as bye for as now Jaune," as he's told it to him as making a very much swift escape just from his sight now leaving me speechless even more as what's was that all about any ways and what's was about me losing everything as did they all know about my past I don't know as he was just "W-wait.. sigh." As he just yielded and he just accepted the kindness of the man as I silently continued eating my meal and the tempura offered to him has It's nice to know that's kind people still walk among us....in this age as well As Jaune silently started to finish his food and as said his thank you as he picked up his jacket and has then started to leave the entire diner as he might go home directly as he has a long day tomorrow... as well but what if he buys alcohol and take it back home and as that might be a better idea than going to the bar just now as jaune just think but life wasn't so simple now as then two stranger's walk in the very diner and arc recogniser them immediately and as understood one thing that trouble is one thing that he just can't never escape and it will come one way or another now f***.
