TWENTY MINUTES

POV

As after twenty minutes of walking around the streets of Tokyo as he has made it back to the convenient store as It was medium size of a store as it was not that big like as well know like family market or Metro or 7 eleven but it is still made it name around here Among the locals here and plus it as a gas station as well as they use petroleum as it's fuel or diesel at best as the demand for electric cars are more as they don't need to park around the gas station that often as it as they go to the charge station at best but jaune as learned about so many things so far now about how thing's work around here as how did the auto industry was build and as how People around the world created great and beautiful cars with different category and its very class in mind as a few decades has passed since then and they have created electric cars to make sure that gasoline and diesel and petroleum would not be needed in the future as it was an economy problem and it was harmful for the environment that what the textbook truly says but he doesn't knows the true reasons behind it but as for his boss his business basically is all about petroleum and their ain't any petroleum or diesel cars that in Tokyo that often as he has seen there were more electric cars now as it basically cheaper and more reliable than a diesel powered car now.

As when jaune come near the main door as he started to entire the very store as Jaune could some customer were in the store all ready as they were looking around the very shelves for some items to buy as he started to look around as he can't see his partner or his boss anywhere at all maybe he might be in the bathroom right now, As Jaune was now starting to getting started the entire situation and started to take actions as he started to slowly walked up around the very corner of the hall next to the main counter of the store as Jaune entered inside of it as it was a storage room as well for the store as It's going to be a good day for him and for the boss as well now.

As then he start to change in to his uniform as wearing a green dress shirt and an black cargo pants and with a green apron around him as he was really ready to work now as he step out of the storage room and then he want towards the main counter and as then wait patiently for the customer come to him.

As with jaune as he just wait patiently and as Jaune Arc had a smiled on his face for the customer and as a old looking woman came up to the main counter as after a few mins later after she was done as she left for her home as the a old man was waiting for her patience to leave as she left the counter and then he started to come up and now in front of the counter now as the man let out a gruff 'hello' in Japanese in return to him as he just placing his own items in front of him as jau was instantly knew the man was an a office work as he was tall and he had a black suit and a briefcase in his hands His hair was a little bit gray at the sides and it was more hidden as he was wearing some reading type of glasses on his forehead.

As he just rung the items up and as he was averting his gaze from the customer for a moment as He will see and collecting the items as there was Coca-cola: ¥172 / $1.16 USD for 500mL as then customers just asked jaune to pass him the pack of cigarettes as Jaune nodded at him as he started to open the very cabinet behind him as the store owner Have just all the Cigarettes are kept behind as the counter within a cabinet as where jaune was told by him personally and he 'll have to ask the clerk for them and provided him next as for the price of a typical pack of normal cigarettes ranges from ¥400 to ¥530 and with the item is an Tuna and as egg sandwich: ¥289 / $1.95 USD and then with as Tuna mayonnaise onigiri: ¥149 / $1 USD.

This is actually a very good deal considering how expensive cheese is here now as he was exploring himself as he truly recommend 7-11's cheese rice with chicken and broccoli for the best amount of nutrients. If you have access to a kitchenette, you could also buy Lawson's frozen cheese pasta and add a pre-cooked chicken breast and some frozen veg for a more complete meal as for a full homemade meal sign him in. "Your total is ¥ 1,010 / $ 4.12 ( without cigarettes in USA CURRENCY ) as will you be paying with cash or card?" as Jaune ask him.

"Shit! What's so expensive?" The man pulled out his card as he was handing him as Jaune took his card before swiping it and then a beep sound come from the computer as he can see the numbers on the screen as it was good for as the to purchase was done as Jaune started to hand back the card back to the customer as Jaune can't tell that the customer was a little grumpy right now so maybe clear his misunderstanding as he frowned sheepishly, "It's the cigarettes sir they cost around ¥400 to ¥530 a pack."

The man cursed under his breath, "Should have quit when my wife told me too well what done is done now." as he said this as he just waved at jaune as a good bye "Have a safe trip home sir." jaune called after the man as he left the counter as he started to leave the store and then back to the main street.

Jaune had worked for the old man named Akimitsu Hanzo has he owns a gas station since he was twenty that he inherited from his father since he passed away in a early stage as He learned all the ropes and now at the age of eighty-one year old as he worked almost everyday his life after his own father passing as for now he was an old man and recently his wife health had declined a bit after some time now and his very own son's and daughter they live abroad now after some sickness broken out long time ago.

As they working another and one of other company that supports and deals with I.S technology and development at best and for Hanzo could only work a day or two a week and if that all he can manage in the end he was used to working all day by himself for a very long time now and as he started to just spend more time in his work as everyone else in time started to buy and become his very own regulars as they say they liked the people around here as well and the locals as even like him as they were their elders since the day when they were born in this world as their parents and they own grandparents know each other for generations now as the neighbors as Hanzo lives near his store and few blocks from here now.

As so many people around here are thankful towards Hanzo and his wife over the years of there very support to the very There very security and support to community around here as some of the police officers and even some gangster even come to visit them often as even bring presents sometimes as being with their own parents place now.

As who came through the store are the local people around here this area and as it has everything they all need in and Although it wasn't always busy as before now as It was booming with business now and then and as he had heard that Hanzo has an online bank system or something he don't know nothing about that and there very online business systems at all as this was not something he is familiar with people come to visit them often as it was interesting to see that first as now who came through and where they were coming from work or going to work or there school.

As an example and a very A classic quote he just learn recently as it attributed to some philosopher or other, is that a journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step and he has believe that it is a flawed statement at best but as Taking that first step requires something even more fundamental courage. Even when you know where you want to go, absolutely nothing changes if he don't have the guts to get up and do something if You'll just have the vision of the goal line and the realization that it will never get any closer. And I think that I am the exception that proves that the statement is not universal.

In the words of one Generation X informant is that is a konbini are 'like the air that you can just breathe' and for certain generations of country of Japan as it maybe is difficult to imagine life without access to these twenty four-hour stores at best as Akimitsu Hanzo as his family was the native of Tokyo and is one such example Hanzo was in his late twenties when his wife quit her job with a Tokyo television company and spent a year and all her very savings travelling around Europe and Africa and then In an month later as she just mail her friends and family members about her very adventures in the another country's as she did just lamented that the one thing the countries she visited lacked were some did not exist like konbini like in Japan at all. As so she took matter in her hand's as she just reported that in that countries like France and United Kingdom there were small shops to buy things, but that they were not open all hours at best did not stock much for him to read, and lacked the kind of food as she wanted to eat at best as What she Aiko longed for most was a konbini onigiri as other words (rice ball) and Well-known as Japanese celebrities in that time also have a very fondness for konbini.

So after few year's later she decided to move back to Japan and as start her life again in Tokyo as she bought her house as she then tried to find her new job under a magazine cover and she took the address and went to words the magazine publishers personally as a few weeks later after the interview she got the job as she was going to drive there in her car as she just bought a few weeks ago from her friend a old Toyota Camry and it was an antique at this point now but until her car just decided to broke down so her car was Parked next to the gas station that the old man owned at the time as she was stranded and as she wanted a mechanic to help with her car and as she will be late for her job now as she doesn't have time to now spear and wanted to go to her job now.

As she was going to be late or her first day then she a young and handsome man as he was trying to make his air conditioner work at the moment as than as he started to hear some noise outside of his store as he looked outside Just through the window and saw a her for the first time in there life.

she met him but the first time in her life that was magical advanced for at least but as she didn't have enough money to pay him but He refused to take any money from her as you told her that Take him back one day when you have enough money fast gas as that was the day Just started to talk and meet each other As that how the both of them met each other for the first time in there life's

As that was thevery day their destiny was intertwined with one another as when she often finished with her work at the office She used to come to visits him at his gas station and they started to talk to one another about their dreams about their achievements and what they want to do in life tomorrow they discussed the more you realized they were just the same as time passed away They became best of friends Then few more years pass away They decided to get married with one another as them 2 years later they had their first son Then after another year another one then they had two daughters twins and then another 3 years they had one child and it was a boy They stood by each other side after that They did fought each other and had arguments but they never let that destroy them They kept on going further and tried to forgive each other and make peace with it and they had fun he cared with each other as they were friends still didn't know what they will do without each other so a few more years later she decided to quit her job and stay at home to take care of her kids and him has them they start to spend more time together as they explore their hobbies together even further as they want on trips with their families across the world and even helped the locals more as their elders in this city of there Slowly by slowly their children who grew up and they wanted to do something for themselves as Studied hard enough to go to university in abroad one by one all over children went abroad leaving these two behind as it's been many years by now as they were wondering if the children have gone married by now They might have as they weren't even invited into their weddings but they did not mind at all as they had each other to live their lives like this for a very long time as now both of them are on there '80s as their children don't wizard them at all They just called them and tell them they're okay as they're always busy with their work and their families.

As he and his wife decided to expand their business a little more as they build and purchase more land around them and build a bigger convenience store in the entire region now as then one day he turned on tv as he reported that in France and Hungary there were small shops to buy things, but as that they were not open all hours and did not stock much for there customers of times and to read there favorite mangas or even magazines and lacked the kind of food they wanted to eat in reality as What customers truly longed for most was a konbini onigiri (rice ball). Well-known Japanese celebrities also have a fondness for konbini and he even remembers that he did mention some Japanese football star Nakata Hidetoshi as been spent many years of his very own career just abroad playing for foreign football teams or other thing known as soccer.

But In one of his interviews, he admitted that the one diff icult thing about living outside of Japan was the lack of konbini as some time a go as Newspapers and the television programmes have documented and then published that Nakata's habit of visiting konbini to buy Japanese snacks immediately after touching down at Narita Airport and It is increasingly difficulty to find an areas that has Japan food without a major konbini chain and the very Japan's largest konbini chain and 7-Eleven, as has yet to establish its fran-chises in Okinawa at the time and As late as in the 2011 there were still no 7-Eleven in Aomori, Akita, Tottori, and the whole of Shikoku at best.

More often than not Japan's remote but inhabited islands and mountain communities are disconnected from the convenience grid view but This is largely due to the fact that populations are too small to support stores or the distribution logistics too costly and the very least complicated to attract companies.

The proximity of a given location to a konbini is an accepted measure of geographical remoteness in Japan. In 2004, the Daily Yomiuri newspaper ran a story about the Olympic women's wrestling team and its preparation for world competition in a bucolic corner of Niigata Prefecture and then Deep in the very mountains of Niigata as the very sound of many bodies that we're just slamming to the mat wafts as then through the nearby rice fields. It is here, nine kilometers from the nearest convenience store and well away from the hustle and bustle of city life, that a group of Japan's brightest hopes for gold medals in Athens are preparing for battle and This, too, is now changing as companies like Lawson and 7-Eleven experi-ment with mobile store units. Spurred on by rapidly ageing populations and relief efforts in the wake of natural disasters, larger chains have developed refrigerated vehicles that are reminiscent of the trucks.

As for jaune was used to working all day as he liked the people who came through here as It was a frequent stop for everyone as Although it wasn't always busy as before but as it was interesting to see who came through and where they were going in the end before he goes back to his room to sleep before his shift is over by midnight now but Until then he will just wait patiently as he will turned his head back to his manga as was given to him berserk as he just slumping in his chair as he turned the first page as he was just frozen on the first sight of the page as he don't want to describe it at all as he was somehow he was intrigued what happened next and then as he saw guts as he was blowing her heads off With a Canon "Nice" as Jaune Arc said as he started to read the book with He just after that.

SIX HOURS LATER

POV

It was half past 11:25 by now and he was preparing to leave shop as usual now as his shift was nearly at It's end now as he will be waiting for his replacement and his name was Shuichi as he young then his in his eightteen old as he had just started his shift, and as would be here till 8:00 am in morning as he wouldn't lie himself at the hours were horrible, and more often than not as he just slept in the store again He worked Monday- Friday, 12 am & 8 am as He slept two hours before opening again as he comes in as Shuichi slept all night on his off days as a shutting in as He slept even when he worked. There was usually quiet hours between 4 am - 6 am as times and most people were sleeping or busy and so was he offered is himself in his bed and Once, he embarrassedly 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 relied on him now.

As Jaune and only other person inhabiting the very convenience store was his co-worker and that was Shuichi as The two didn't work the same shift as him as though Shuichi worked the shift after Jaune or as well, before jaune starting as of now and so they rarely saw each other and Though, based on the few interactions the two had as Jaune as could tell that Shuichi was undoubtedly awkward around him as it was Nice, but awkward at time's "Hey, Shuichi." As Jaune just lazily raised a hand in a greeting manner as Shuichi just entered the store as he was just approached the checkout counter towards him as Jaune was read his manga at best.

As the jaune just jumped slightly, snapping his head up from his manga as he tried to scare him as Upon realizing it was Shuichi Hajime, his posture relaxed slightly and he offered a small smile. ", hi Shuichi ... You're coming in for your shift, right bro?" As Jaune asked him as then Shuichi just started to nodded his head at him as Shuichi Hajime was tall and he was Japanese as he was a shutting after he 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 me but why does he come here That's different case now he did not require it but he has some problems is isn't don't tell anyone at all.

"Unfortunately," as he was sighed as he now just as running a hand through his own 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. There aren't as many people around here as during the day, so it's quiet." As he told this to jaune as he 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 but not his fault or problems 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 storage room as started to change in to his normal clothes as he then he come out taking the yellow 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 felt like the hundredth time before stepping out into the store again.

But then he head an bell of the door rang and a man steeped in as He put Shuichi on edge instantly as The man's gaze was hungry for something more than food as His looks for one thing as he glares at him every few seconds as he started to pick up some things from the aisle and then slowly making his way towards him at the check counter towards Shuichi.

The man grinned open mouthed at him and revealing golden teeth as he gave Shuichi a small smile back at him as The man disappeared down the aisle and then The he head an bell of the door rang again as then an Another man entered as 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 was gangster has Shuichi smiled towards him as The man smiled back at him.

As the man had hair was brown, and he was dressed in black familiar suit as now he remembers This man is no other than the member of the yakuza and his eyes were light despite the hour as returned to his own business as the men shopped infornt He was so tired, yet it was only Wednesday at best And Then he heard someone coming towards him as looked up as he 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 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 robbery if not careful enough as the person was in front of him he knows him and he was his own old time bully Hinata.

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 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 doing out this early in the night anyways?" As was he trying to flirt with him If he is God protecting me as he 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 gritted out as he wants this to be ended as quickly as possible so he could move should he call police or should he protect themselves What should he do He was so confused as he tried to play it out cool as possible but the man known as Hinata didn't let that budge as he starts smile even more as he tried to lean on the counter a bit more as he wanted to grab his neck or something.

The man leaned closer to him, 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 was f***** at that moment that If he doesn't complies to anything this man says he might do something bad or worse take advantage of him again or abusing like before.

The man laughed. "I have a hundred ¥ bill just for you now and why not help me and you'd just have to do something for me in return." as he started to bribe him as he can't do this The old man was kind enough to let him stay here and have a job 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 he don't know what to do as he was helpless as he was cornered all of the bad members started to come back as then something changed.

As Jaune just raise his eyebrows at him , "What would I have to do then ?" as when jaune come into the picture of the situation as when he just realized that he never left the place just now as he was just standing there long time and wait it to observe the entire situation himself and then act on it and now he just came to his rescue as the bully started to lean back of the counter.

As Jaune standing there next to the corner of the wall that lead to the storage room as he was there save his coworker thought but he forgets his manga there before leaving as he come over to the counter to pick it up but he saw that very conversation happening as he just stranded there and started to listen to there very conversation of there now.

As the individual known Hinata as started to stand straight in front of him and started to just glare at the blonde but jaune only just raised his eyebrows at his actions against him and as saw him try to act intimidating towards the blonde but for jaune Arc This was a little disappointing situation at best As this person here is trying to swindle his coworkers and at his boss work really get a life now and his way 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 saw some boy's and girl at the same age and same color clothes as 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 have just entire the gas station with each other together as in group of friends as they 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 in front of him as now narrowing his eyes towards him as he started to look a little more a bit intimidating himself now as His coworker immediately started to flinch as he just has never seen his coworker like this before as He was standing up against someone like him as he has quite the reputation among the Yakuza as who ever tried to harm or to challenge him He always silence them and then Target their families as well and then humiliate them in public and forces them to leave the entire country immediately.

As for big Hinata was thinking that arrogant man had his very own gang members here with him and She could ask their assistance if things went south as the store he always hated this place and that damn old man as he loves it when he robs it and broken these type of places as he did heard as one of the police officers love this place and as some of Yakuza members in the past as Well and it was a bonus for him as he might even flesh them out from hiding and beat them up for Good and what were they can go f*** **** them self in the end as he ran this area and the street not the old man or the police as 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 he should try to humble him first and then give him a few punches and some uppercuts with an extra a few kicks here and there before shooting him dead in the head later as he started to stand in front of him and started to stare at him and then his others comrades in the store as well and then in his eyes started to then meet with his as trying to intimidating him and showing him who is the dominant one around here is as he could hear some music outside maybe the rest are here as well Maybe we should give him a little hello. As he thought at the moment point.

'As so why not mess with him a bit before sinking in' As he thought at that moment as then he put his finger on jaune chest and as

"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 intimidating towards jaune but for his technique wasn't working on him at all As for jaune was just disappointed at this boy behavior towards everyone as 'maybe his parents didn't treat him right or there is something else entirely that he's trying to act tough and doesn't knows how to 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 as this boy isn't one of them as Jaune was and as become one of those very scary people now as he needs to end this and go back home and finish his manga and then started to rest later on.

As for this 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 might be able to fight them but damaging the store as might be 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 they have done for him till now and as he needs to be careful and he has faced many stronger and danger opponents Then before but this man might acting be tough for them and like now Jaune needs to act as carefully around him and maybe all the police as he may not be alone right now.

As Jaune can hear some music outside going louder has to be one of his very friends now and they might be nearby Maybe jaune can go and pay them all a visit as well as Jaune vision caught something as one of his first friends were coming to the main counter as Shuichi start noticed that to he wasn't alone at all and he should call the police now as he heard something broking and they were 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 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 and call the police immediately now.

As for Hinata and his crew members started to be scared at the moment as they all were seeing that the blonde man wasn't kidding around them at all as They saw that they're a little sneaky friend Shuichi was going to go and call someone as they care at all about whoever he calls as one of them wanted to stop him as he decided to move in front of the blonde as so that they could just interact with Shuichi more But he was just tried step forward as he 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 last one and as they better be in their best game right now as they were starting to crack their knuckles now.

As Jaune just saw there actions as they were crack their knuckles now as they were now prepare for a fight now as he should do the honor and respond with force now as Jaune was now clinching his own fists now as now Jaune Arc was prepared to throw down with all of them now and as then jaune started to compared to them to himself as the Yakuza members started to examine his build and compare his to the blonde man in front on him as who might win and who might just walk away now and he might be a trained fist fighter and jaune is a veteran at that as well as the tension between was getting a bit more as minutes pass as all party were ready to fight as they were just waiting for the other side to throw the first punch now.

But they were just interrupted by something

As then all of sudden as someone's phone as started to ring at that moment as then in the room everyone was starting to look at each other as they were just question themselves and as looking around a bit as who has that ring tone as it was really attractive as Jaune was started to question they true attentions towards him now as a few more minutes as passed as one of Hinata Friends as that was beside him 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's already was still ringing as we can hear it's tone as Hinata just realized it a little bit later as it was his own phone about the whole situation now as he can see Jaune as he was going to laugh as he was terribly as trying to contain his laughter what 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 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 as he will not be embarrassed by this and check who the bloody hell is calling him as he pull out his phone as it was a Samsung A 0-5 as he just brought last week now as then he just mute his own phone by pressing as the very side button of the phone as it was now as on silent mode and he can check 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 High School as after college as he 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 was reading it as within few seconds in response.

" Hey Hinata where the hell are you now as you little broke ass B.T.S and as we are just waiting outside the gas station now as all of the crew are here as well we need to get go to the parking lot and then party with the baby now as some of the other need to go home and sleep now" as Hinata Firend call him at the moment as he then started to look back at the window outside and saw his friends with there car's parked outside now as they all were just waiting for him to show up as then he started to look back at his crew beside him and then at blonde as then he started to answer him " I will out there we are in a little situation right now budd- " As they all started to look at each other as they looked towards jaune as he was just confused at them to and they all said one thing and that was f****** .

"Ok guy's let's deal with this outside and as Don't want the store getting any problems and then Why not and come back again with more bones to broken" as Jaune Arc just answered them as he was walking out of the store in his civilian clothes As he was looking quite intermediately for them.

CHANGE LOCATION

it's an organized crime groups or gangs such as the Yakuza are unwilling to go out and as just attack or rob regular lawful civilians as Instead, they cause intended harm towards other rival Yakuza clans separate from their own abd Often to none as these occurrences do not physically try affect their own little surrounding community as it bad for them.

This is exactly what I wanted to avoid in the end as Why I had became a loner in the first place now as Why I chose to be alone and as it did despite everything to live a quiet and peaceful high school life uninterrupted by him now as now he said as it will be a good night to started to partying and her very old cousin of her as her mother told her to take her to the party that she going to and help her make some friend's as that was the real plan but what is she seeing Right now was not she was expecting at all in her life.

As she just stared down at the five men as she had just seen beaten to a bloody pulp with nothing more than his fists now as a very pathetic group of hooligans who after a night out in the downtown, decided to try their luck taking advantage and fight one man in black and yellow as the sun now.

As she was girl by her lonesome returning from a meet up with her cousins friends now as she didn't know that the night will turn out like this at now.

As she started to gapes like a fish a knowing that she and her very cousin was screwed as he was now starting walking towards them as she was not going to lie that he is kinda of hot now and he is walking like a model or as an Hollywood actor now as she can see his very muscles on his body his very through his shirt now as Oh my God he is walking hot mass now' as she cannot stop checking him out now and as he walked infornt of them as she was turned on by them now.

Then... Jaune reaches toward her...And slips out the sunglasses out of jacket pocket of the guys as she was carrying around now as He puts them out as and he was now starting to wear it now as it was making him a little even more hot and intimidating in a good and sexy way now.

He strides back to the Harley and roars off in a shower of gravel as he just roars down the freeway and heading for his apartment now as the very Cold neon flares across the chrome of the big bike and The 10-gauge is jammed through the clutch and as the brake cables, across the handlebars The lights flow over as the blonde man just wrap-around as sunglasses like the Yakuza of tracer rounds now in to the very tonight now.

IN THE BEGINNING

As about Ten years ago a powerful weapon that had changed the world was released as it was called the Infinite Stratos as powerful exoskeletons that were designed by Tabane Shinonono as one of the worlds most and as now brilliant scientists in this generation as well were assistance now as she has build as something an very much as exoskeletons of a machine as were originally meant for out space exploration, they possess technology and combat capabilities far more advanced than any other weapon system in the world, thus it had threatened to destabilize as the world at that time. Destabilize the world it did as when the time comes to mind safely.

In fact when the IS was first proposed it was scoffed at by the government and as it's very much few officers who was present there as some people within the meeting just paid it any attention to as make her happy at least.

But I do bet that when she learn about there true tensions towards her and her project as Tabane wasn't that happy after all her hard work and her ideas as it was toss away and made a fun out of it and as I wouldn't blame her for it as anyone in that very some exact position would have done the same thing as her and As then soon after that month later very a 'Mysterious' hacker that just hacked military bases and ships all over the world launching 2431 ballistic and cruise missiles towards all major cities in Japan at the time.

As the entire world was just going crazy as none of them has ever put the launch codes and even put any directions as every leader in the world thought that it was a sign of the great world war beginning but something unexpectedly as happened that changed the force and course of history forever.

As the very missiles as crazy thing is that as none of them had reaches their destination at all as someone or something stopped it in time at it darkness hours and save the very country of Japan in the end.

As that very moment as the world's first and only IS and it's pilot has was just engaged in combat and neutralized all 1221 the missiles that was headed towards the country with in few seconds at best but then the very IS Pilot and it's machine fought them all as it's was nothing at all as just with an very much big sword just alone and the rest were shot down by energy weapons AKA lasers as ok now that was cool and Yeah you did heard me right as LASERS, as like the ones shot by the blasters in Star Wars movie I have been just watching recently but not the very one that the very Death Star laser had on it just thanked god's about that now.

This was the very day that has just changes everything in the whole world as the IS was last thing as They ever expected to save the very world from destruction as later that's very some day that very IS and it's very pilot received one thing that was an one code as it was named the White Knight and as it was that moment that attracted and as then it is was attacked by some several major world as it very much powers seeking to capture or destroy it in it's very pursuit after that's.

But then all of them just failed miserably in the end in it's very pursuit after that in the end after all as the white knight armor had just fended off its very attackers and then as just destroying all as it's very 207 and 208 as next-gen fighter and it's very aircrafts and it very disabling seven aircraft carriers and its very naval escorts with it and in it's addition eight weaponized military and spy satellites were also destroyed and Yeah in small word they were all just owned that badly by her.

Soon after that tragedy that just occurred as the nations of the world enacted the Alaska Treaty, as which stated that IS can never be used for military combat and that existing IS technology must be 'equally' distributed to all nations to prevent any one nation from dominating the others in the future but as There was one and major flaw within the IS design however and as it was that just cause major backlash from it later on as it can it only can be operated by women alone.

Because of that very logic the power balance between men and women was broken, with women now able to dominate society over men and as Many families were just being destroyed as due to this now as There wives leaving husbands behind as even in worse cases that mother's leaving their children, because of this development in the world and as he has seen very even a few families abandoned their sons in particular because of this as It was disappointing in his eyes as to realize how far this world will fall if one thing is disturbed and as its very balance.

In order to fix that many different things as men and women just lost their lives and just sacrificed there generations of hard work an building their trust between each other as it even working with each other for so many decades as for one little thing that just enter there society as it just shattered everything in the end Like it was nothing in the end.

You will be asking as How do I know about that then ? As Well I just read it in the very magazine and in one of their interviews as that One of the pilots has told the very story to the world as how her entire world just changed and how her precious family was and as had been destroyed because of that as very devices entry and its qualifications.

As she just started to explain about her own family had been destroyed because of it as it did affect negatively amongst the younger generations as it just poisoning there very own mindset now as woman are then man and boy saying that woman are just b****. That hate on men and all that came with it.

As When she was seven years old, two years after the release of IS, her b*** of a mother as she had quote had left her and her father as well as taking her older sister with her as she then (thankfully) haven't seen her since then, but as she still don't know how to feel about her sister though Anyways, after she left us her father had threw himself further into his very own research as he started to work on sometime after the release of IS as as it was very important as something as to that had to abandon everything around his surround completely and but then none of us her or grandparents had any clue of what he was doing after everything as happened.

If he was still alive today, as just maybe his research could save our fallen world from its current path. Even with all of his work and research he still made time to be with her and she did loved every minute of it but as Sadly those days came to an end as when the day that had completely changed her life came As when she was fifteen as she were just attacked by some strange people and an unknown group as Somehow that found out about her father's star piece of research and what as it was suppose to do in the world as they had just launch an assault on her home one day and they had critically injured her and her father but somehow her father just manage to fend them off and as he But just later passed away as than she was shift off to her own grandparents home and grow up there and until she joined the IS Academy and then learn as how to operate the same machine that destroyed their home as she does not favor as this thing but she use it to defend others and their families. As that is what the magazine article explains about as for him this is actually new for him as Jaune Arc can't actually just understand the whole root of the problem at all as one thing as it was known IS did this much damage to the whole society is just wild.

As he just never expected that in his whole life as what did this mean for him now as he was not from there very original world and as he still don't just understands as the rope around here now and as This very world is very much more chaotic than the last one as he had been living in as it had monsters and other things like God's and spirits and many other races as they're all planning on killing just each other or overthrowing one another as some kind of drama like that as he could under stand what was happening but here women and men are fighting each other as who is better and all that crap as if his sister or parents were here as they would be very disappointed at their behaviors And they're very stupid reasons as well as they all like to bicker as About impurity and injustice in so many things but as he just compared to this world his original world as This is heaven.

As When he first arrived here he had many problems as that was basically six months by now and as he just couldn't even find a proper bar at the time to drown his troubles as when he came to this world maybe Jaune should not be so so involved in their world very politically as kind of matters at all as it was confused him and It is shown that they are very much sensitive towards any other comment towards themselves as more then his very friends were but and as Jaune has bigger concerned and he needs concentrate on finding his wife very whereabouts and as then finding the way back to his home then.

As by now as Jaune was walking around the City as he really needs to lay low a bit as he did manage to find a job and he had enough money to roll into the university and have his education that as he needed as truth be told it was fun learning something new as he just remember that he has been fighting for so long now that as sometimes it's better to learn something new rather than nothing drenches his hand's in blood now as Jaune just had been going to his university and he has been learning around and about every thing for some time now as he started to just learn about mathematics and many other things related towards it and then as Jaune learn how to operate a car as he learned as that they had more than one option when it comes cheaper vehicles as they had petrol and diesel and others have electric as he was researching more about them as some few weeks now he bought his first a vehicle in this world as it was a copper bike.

As Jaune remembers it was called a Harley Davidson as it was on the market when he was going to purchase some The vehicle for himself to traveling as Jaune learned in the universities that your place can be very far to some places and He needs to Make sure that he could be on time as slow by slow as he was learning about the world everyday as he learned about which smartphone was the best and reliable so he bought himself a Samsung weird name but as it still works as that what it matters in the end and when he was around the showroom of the cars as he came across many different vehicles as he was just wasn't so sure about them as but it this bike as When he just came across it as it did felt like as it was now just calling him as he did had experiences on bikes before as this is not at least a hover bike like before now but it still did the job and the bonus it was quite cheap to the todays price now as the owner said he wanted it done for some reasons but he did not question it as he did had a cool bike now as a bonus as they had some pouches around it as he can use it to carry his stuff around like his clothes and as his other things as one day jaune might need a trailer van one day Until then this will do.

As Jaune was in Tokyo as he had to drive as he has basically finished his university as he managed to somehow afford enough money and resources and complete is examinations and he passed having himself a good degree as he could get himself a proper well-paid job now but as he just think about that in the coming years and months now as Jaune needs to do one thing he needs to celebrate as he needs to find a good bar and as he just knows a good place for it as he'll go to one of the best bars he has known that was named crowbar as he started to drive there on his bike as he has a lot of things to do after it.

" I think and believe my dad was right about something things now as he would and will just agree with me on this next statement, as Life is a pain but it's worth fighting for as he did Miss his parents and his kids and wife but I think home is the best place you can be in the end" As you said while driving is bike around her highway as he could just enjoy the night skies while driving with fresh air around him as all he could do was think and drive away towards his destination. 

CHANGE LOCATION

As Jaune was driving his bike In the streets of Tokyo as then he came to an eatery as he had planned now as it was called the crow bar diner as it was one of the few diners he has been in as it was one of the European diners that open here more than 15 years ago by the locals told him now But 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 remembers when he first came here a few months ago and he tried their ramen as it was the best but as he enjoys a cold beer with it as well time to time now.

As he was now parking it around the streets as the truth is as there's less parking space in here so he needs to park it as around the entire building now as a safe spot as people might try to take advantage of his bike now but he doubts anyone can do that as he was Getting off his bike as on his very right as he started to lock it with some safeties as to just keep it safe now as he was noticed a little bit as some couples entering the dinner called Crow Bar now as "Hm, I bet Yang would like This kind of place but I highly doubted." 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 needs a very cooled damn drink as well for that long journey now as he was stretching himself before started to walk into the diner now.

TEN MINUTES LATER

CROWBAR

POV

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 another couple was now casually entered as well, as One of the people 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 as it was just the same as he just left as three months ago now.

"Why good evening there 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 ?" Jaune took a seat on a stool and just pondered some water for a moment for himself now as he just was now smiling as he knew his good customer has returned " So boy how was your studies I as heard that you went on a journey for an few months by now Osaka and then to Sapporo afterwards for your examination as that might be hard " as he 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 saw and heard What the chef told them as then he 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 I was expecting to and end my studies in Tokyo but I was now having a full on scholarship in Osaka University as well now I couldn't pass up the offer now as I did take and had to completed it in few weeks as it very two years course as then the new information come to light now and as they just offer me by one of the universities of Sapporo an better deal then before they change their minds So I decided to move there as instead after finishing one of my exams now and transfer there now as complete my other last years now in that as very much this few months and as what can I say because tiring as hell At least I bought myself a bike now As I don't need to walk home anymore in late nights" As Jaune told his story to the chef as he just was listening to him now as he was busily writing down other customers orders now as while 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 different and as Why not just combine it ramen would beef and cold beer as that is true heaven As he 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 he's will be basically an old man now and Even now in his life as considering his very morals and his very code of honor that he has received after so long after as what happened at his home world remnant then to ever after has everything seems like a dream to him but in the end I think it was worth it as After what happened in ourario and that very goddamn dragon now as at least everyone was safe as even his family is safe that is what matter to him in the end as he did his duty as he did somehow became a hero in his family's eyes and he was able to live his families long last legacy but he just feels bitter as this is what jaune always wanted as why did he feel so dissatisfied with his results now as It was like he did not do anything at all as this is what his ancestor truly felt In the end after their sacrifices as he understands what he did was truly foolish and he shouldn't have left his family behind like this broken as he did lose three families by now and he still wants to be a hero.

But what was the cost everything as he lost his home Then he lost his friends then he lost his family then he lost himself but he did not give up he tried and he did at least saved many people life and he'll make sure he would have done better but it's time to put this sword down as it was better not to pick it up again as his family has fought for centuries as he learned the truth and as the very sacrifices they have made to get here as he just throw that away to become a hero himself but in the end he realized the dark truth behind it and he'll make sure that he will tell his children the truth about being a hero is maybe if they wanted to be one day they could be better than him and carry out the good legacy of their own as as he 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.

He was just foolish at the time he wanted to be a hero to prove himself but to who he 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 if he went back one day he will finish what his family and he started and he will set things right again for another generation doesn't need to wake up for war and for tyranny in the end That was his family's true goal as they are true knights of vale so is he and he will honor it till the end of his days.

As Jaune needs to be thankful as well that when he was in Ever After and in the city off aurario as he did stain many battle scars on his body but when he came in this world he was healed up as he could feel he was being healed up as his semblance had been started to new evolution now Maybe all those close calls for years of fighting maybe his abilities were amplifying even better than before as it used to take a few minutes to heal again nearly one minute but then it increased and it did decreased in ever after But it started to increase in ourario maybe as Yes he still might have his blessing as it did help him modify his body a bit As it wasn't from the gods of that land But it was the tree itself as it did mention she had modified his body to a degree so he could use his true potential to its maximum point in time maybe we won't need to try dodging bullets now.

As Jaune won't be able to eat right now as he even thinks the gods and thank them as he has all of his body parts fine and working as and Still has his sense of taste and his sense of humor as well but for some reason as he actually feels calmer maybe his mind was as erased from all as his depressions some time ago by some chocolate really as He loves this world as it has everything that as jaune ever needed in his life jaune will still wonder in the end as how long he in this world again.

But that's for another time as right now he needs to make sure he is in good health as hema has to enjoy As he still remembers his very stalking skills as they weren't failing as him either now and as just honestly as it did feels like his very stalking skills as became even much better from time to time by now as since he did decided to train at the very Ryozanpaku club training martial artist as it was quite fun as he had to make sure as he maintains his very strength so much that as one wrong move as they might have passed away or worst case scenario they could have died As he thought as Jaune really should go back and visit them and bring some gifts to Shigure after he dealt with resting period as is quite tired and he should visit Hanzo and his wife to keep a check on him as he did actually respect him as his grandfather as he did help him in his tough time Maybe he could go with it him.

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 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 did brought back memories of the good old days with his old friends and family now.

As Jaune was Sipping on the nice cool water as he served himself as he started to listen to the music that was playing in the diner as Jaune 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 just thought to himself now As For the last few days It was quite hectic for him but in the end managed to fulfill his duties and get himself an degree but That's all it 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 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 were always crowded with 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 diner and as they're very bars as 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 did remind him so much of His old bullies but at least they had a sense of morals and a code in the end as they did defend the city when the time came and what makes him happy is that it 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 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 took charge afterwards as Jaune brought out One of his jackets and lending it to those girls as then he escorted him back to their rooms and help them change as they went into the changing rooms and changed her clothes while he guarded their doors as then those girls happily accepted his help as he even said thank you and then he left as that was the last of it he saw those girls as then he decided to graduate and transfer to another University as they were really were getting on his nerve as he hate bullies What he hates the most is becoming one.

So time went on as he kept on studying in his new university as he was getting bored over there as his only study and he had to eat That's all he did or exercise sometimes as Jaune meet one of his new friends over there as his name was Suzuki geno As he was from United States of America as he was born in Japan but he lived in America as They both became good friends as they kept on talking and started to get to know each other as they always talk about many different topics as Jaune really like his style and his way of speaking as He even tried to hook him up with some girls one time as he had to run away from them as he wasn't entrusted in any kind of relationship at all as he was married if so he better stay loyal to that to the end and he's not desperate or anything like that so anywho as one day 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 then as he introduced me to something as to club off of sort as it was in underground racing club.

But At first he wasn't that interested in cars at all as he did buy himself a bike a few days ago 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 remembered why not Just go with him as his friend was insisting him to visit the very place as he might like it as that as how it all went down after that he was introduced to their very locals and he learned so much at that day so he will never forget ever.

But one day jaune Arc was relaxing in his owner apartment that he rented out in his school dorm room sites as it was one of the few rooms that were actually available at the time and as considering the school year was going to begin as he didn't had much options so as he was going to quit in a few months anyways So he took a leap of faith as he rented it out as he did remembers it was quite a small place only a one bed and a stove and one bathroom as that was all as It was quite crammed but it was still home for him as he started getting ready for work and to his new university as Jaune just worked and studied at the same time as he always spend his days like that but one day his very friend decided to take him to as somewhere special now.

One day as Jaune came back from his work as you may have been guessed He was quite tired as that word tired wasn't a good way of saying it as Jaune was basically exhausted as his boss working to death today Sometimes he did hated part-time jobs as not all people are like Mr Hanzo now are as they as some take advantage and work you self to death while others treat you nicely as he was so tired that he was wobbling back towards his home as he had to use his own semblance to keep him steady as and as refreshed at the same time now He was too tired to even try to refuel it but he decided to take one thing in considering Japan's working system truly does suck as it might be good pay sometimes but they like to work you to death and as he has heard about some black companies as well now as he wishes he never ever in his life gets to meet any of those people as Jaune entered his apartment as he just kicked his shoes up and place them on the shoe rack as then to proceeded to put his bag down and then directly lie down on the bed as he was so tired that he didn't even need to change his clothes as he was planning on sleeping like this for today as they basically worked up to death He really hates his job but he does needs to get money and pay his rent in the end.

Then he started to close his eyes coming so.

🆔🆔🆔🆔🆔🆔🆔🆔🆔🆔🆔🆔🆔

As he did made to refrained from appearing in public very openly and very much dining in

As he did made to refrained from appearing in public very openly and very much dining in restaurants as opting for convenient food at the Family Mart as He 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 police a few occasion with his friends in the past now when they were driving their car as he was not drive there very racing machines as they might be a little too much for him to handle as Jaune could see how they were shifting their gears constantly as Jaune remembers as they were all called street racers now as they all have held many different street races now and as they even bet very much money and then as they Sometime bet there very cars now Yet the police don't like them at all now as after the day jaune was not in street racing or in any of those events at all as Jaune had more important things to deal with as sometime as well then three days passed as the police found out about them and decided to arrest them on the spot He heard his friend just got away but some of his others did not as they weren't fast enough and lucky enough as to escape themselves but then The very news hit the Every news channel as then it was a hunt for all of those people as who are and just basically involved in it and some time ago what are the police officers came to my apartment for questioning as I answered everything honestly and told him nothing about my friend or my environment that I was involved in their street races now and further than dew as they left me alone After that very incident.

As there we're no sign of any arrest or cops near me and my friend then as he and I just suddenly became bolder as time and more confident to appear in the open in the end as Well, I guess that's a great chance since I wouldn't be able to change anything in my new life if I were to stay passive and scared. After all, I still yearned for a life in this new world, and it would be a shame if I were to stay hidden and not enjoy life a bit. Oh well, I can think about my dream a little later as since I was still in danger of getting caught by them as I didn't have a driver's license since then So I'm driving a bike Yeah that will cause many problems as he thought. ,

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 with rice and an bowl off ramen with extra beef in the side now and as then with one cold beer glass as Jaune was looked at the delicious and as inviting foods served to him I expected the appearance of the dish to match the taste, or my day would be ruined.

s 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 order any chicken in it as the chef might have mistaken it with someone else order now and as then 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 just Started to raise his hands and as 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" as Jaune remarked is question towards the chief as he just had now returning back towards the customer eyes he expected to have him very surprised facial features on his face as the chef might be getting oldat as you might have mistaken it for someone else's food as the generosity, given the affordable price towards the very food as he thought of that very moment.

But what happened next Just surprise him even further as she 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 as I don't know what you went through or been through by now but as at least this is your reward but you should enjoy it." the older chef offered with a comforting smile on his face as this was the first time that someone no This is the second time that's someone has been this kind to work for me again as he will repay them one day.

A

s Jaune was just now speechless as yet it warmed his heart a lot as Like jaune said this before as he 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 managed to say as with an smile on his face as he started to nodded at him As he was quite happy but as he will do something to pay it as it will not sit and just fit well with him Not giving something in return Jaune will think of something in the near future Until then he'll just eat It's very food and go home to sleep. yet it seemed like the chef sensed it what he was saying as he knows that the boy will pay him back as he has met and seen the boy in action and as what has Hanzo told him about as It's quite true as his boy is truly a blessing towards as them as who asked us old people these days.

"Itadakimasu..." As he just muttered before started to eat his food now as She did learn this very gesture from his University friends arsdale kept on doing this while eating their food as she thinks it's more of a gesture of gratitude than as anything as why not show the Lord who's above him as who provided him the good food as Jaune might now be a Foreigner from another world but as he still had his manners and as he'll show his very own gratitude others as Who has supported him till now as Jaune will always remember this kindness as he was eating in peace now.

As Jaune Started to just scoop his very spoon into his plate of Curry and rice as with each spoonful 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 just couldn't contain his very delight and as his very own hunger increased by as the very second now but at the moment as all of his past problems and frustrations as it was all Suddenly just disappeared from any complete trace by now as 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 This was so much better than that contain food that sells in the supermarkets and convenience stores now as It was starting to get very unhealthy to keep on relying on those junk food's now.

But He did not realize it that he was making a puppy dog face as he was kept on eating and 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 as 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 wouldn't he be as he's not from this area or country to begin with as now as the kid was basically an foreigner now as he did heard from Hanzo who is his good old friend back they were basically in kindergarten now as that the very blonde boy as one day just basically woke up here in this his very Tokyo's forests now as Jaune was just basically been kidnapped by as the very international human traffickers now as the boy did not remember which country or as Where is he at as where did he belong to begin with as Even the local police and the mafia have joined forces together are as still trying to investigate and locate the one that are responsible in this matter by themselves as they had agreement that not none of this was done by any of the parties as this was not there plan at all would ever happen not considering smuggling in children at all but the government that dislikes matter as it's might become international problem in the near future as they provided the kid with the proper ID and as citizenship around this very country as he became what he is today but it can only happen if Hanzo had a say in the matter as he has his connections in the very government system as well as it's was now starting to get a little creepy that as his friend has that much power in his hands.

It was a theory of there at best now that the kid did not knew which country did he just actually just belonged too now as because he was basically overseas his whole life as in results as Jaune Arc might be in country to Many country by now as an identification card or anything did not exist or just match his very description of the boy now as Jaune might be born as a smuggling child as those children as don't have an ID card at all with them 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 knew few of them back in the day but these new kids things they're badasses or something as well and they even attacked some of our shops as time went on but as what makes it worse is that they try to pick up fight with Hanzo as it was a bad call as he has a reputation of his own as when he was younger he made some good friends in the police and in the Yakuza as he did them favors as they did him some favors too but it didn't matter as that kind of a person of Hanzo at 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 would let authorities deal with this matter but they did not had any choice but to keep jaune here as they can't send them away anywhere as that might be a breach of protocols for them all as well and they don't want a dirty conscience on their heads that they basically killed and innocent teen as so the provided him to stuff and resources that as he needs to survive in this country and in the future as they will not be meeting him that's how he'll let him have what he needs but it turned out to be good as the kid did not miss his opportunities at all as Jaune as showed his worth towards everyone else as even helped the very locals around here 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 moment.

But Geno did feel bad for the kid but as one thing they like about him more that he was a hard worker personality as the very least he had just earned his place and somehow pleased Hanzo as that guy's was an solid as the very rock now when comes to pleasing him as he was glad the kid was doing good job at it as Even his own children couldn't do that what he just did as but in that very much results as Jaune was giving money by Hanzo himself some time ago to complete as his own studies now and jaune Arc will just repay him back one day for as hanzo's very own kindness towards him.

but if he could say one thing the kid just did that in the end as Jaune did just finished the Japanese educational system as he knows it by experience that it's not an easy task then He thinks now as just completing it in a few months time frame and just getting himself a degree no less in this damn age as he wish he or one of his kids were that 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 He even saw his bike outside the shop as Jaune even managed to bought himself his very first vehicle to drive in the country but as He hopes he has his driver's license now 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 in the girls department he meant jaune Arc needs to get himself a wife as if he wants to live as in the community 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 they will do everything in there very powers to corrupt him now. "I'm just glad you liked it, jaune." the older man said, as his presence very definitely didn't startle me out of his wits. "Ah, sorry for surprising you." To slowly did walked behind him as he did not let him notice his presence at all.

Is at that moment he was quite startled by the chef's presents right behind him as he was so concentrated and focused in his food with that He did not realize that there was someone behind him as What if that person got behind him and split his throat really He needs to be more careful around everyone as maybe this is a lesson he should learn as never let your guard down no matter who is it in the end as Jaune was nearly is complete with his very dinner as when jaune just saw again towards his plate as his rice and curry was finished as Jaune 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 he know it was all gone by then Well what can he say as he was looking forward for his very drink to last as quite longer as Jaune could talk about many different things with the chef himself as he always did love this place and it's very own cuisine It's not that bad but as it's still quite better for many places he has tried by now.

As 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 then placing a plate of three big fresh shrimp tempura before me as at that very moment it was pretty sure jaune didn't order anything except for the curry....And some ramen now as Maybe he 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's something 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 raise his eyebrows at him as What is catch as this is the first for him "Hey boy as 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, it's on the house again jaune as You have done a very good work as you have proven the very impossible to everyone around here entirely to the community now as what is a example of an true hard worker person is just now as despite as everything you basically lost and didn't know where to go as you have proven that you are worthy to live here amongst us as you have proven us time and time again as you just reminded me of my kids now as I would feel very proud of you what you have to come and what are you are becoming as a true adult now as who is truly responsible as to his very responsibilities now as 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-" .

"Sorry, can't hear you kid and I have some customers waiting for me now as bye for as now Jaune," as he told it to him as making a very much swift escape from his sight now leaving me speechless even more as What was that all about any ways and what 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 as he just accepted the kindness of the man. I silently continued eating my meal and the tempura offered to him as It's nice to know that kind people still walk among us...in this age as well As Jaune silently started to finish his food and said his thank you as he picked up his jacket and started to leave the entire diner as he might go home directly as he has a long day tomorrow as well.
