Chapter 20 - Messages and Responsibilities...
(The Next Morning...)
(Leon POV)
I was getting ready to meet up with Ruby over at the Numazu but I got an unknown message on my phone unknown number "I know you've been causing me and the boys trouble, Mr.Leon Winchester, just so you know....been really pissing us all off lately" ??? said "Zerrick?" I asked "Correct," Zerrick said growled, "I have my best men after you what takes do you have against them," Zerrick asked "...Oh, I'm sure they will be prepared once they go to prison" I said cracked my knuckles adjusted my energy sword then faded away "We will see if you can even protect those new friends of yours" Zerrick said "One touch on any of them I won't hesitate to kill them and you" I said "That's not the Rescuer way" Zerrick said "I am no Rescuer anymore but a guy who wants to keep people like you from terrorizing on a beautiful city like Numazu and Uchiuru" I said glaring down eyes glowing yellow as Leonidas and Ruin had serious expressions "You can't protect them all" Zerrick said "You're right I can't but I hope you realized the number of criminals lords been missing in your checklist" I said flicking my pen around *SLAM* I heard something break on his end "Alright you piece of a brat! I hope you ready to die again!" Zerrick yelled "It won't go as same as last time Zerrick after all everything has a weakness. You're just too blind to notice it" I said "I hope you enjoy having assassins coming after you!" Zerrick yelled "Oh I will bring them all on," I said ended the call before hearing another slammed again...
"He didn't sound too happy," Leonidas said sweatdrop "Well as much of the off-screen crime hunting I could see why especially when we can figure out who the crime lords and present evidence I think we should be alright," I said arms crossed "I guess so though we still got that masked figure with a spear to figure out," Leonidas said sighed arms crossed "So far only two of them are dangerous but Masked Figure with a spear could be one that we should keep our eyes on..." I said, "Yeah I agree..." Leonidas said sighed "Come on let's head on looking for Ruby she will be waiting for us," I said "Right," Ruins said...

(Numazu, Downtown)
(Leon POV)
"Sorry about that Ruby I was a little late!" I yelled "It's okay I just got here a few minutes ago," Ruby said smiled "Well looks like a nice day come on let's head in the craft store then we can find a way to help Hanamaru out!" I yelled "Right!!" Ruby yelled (Yep I can sense few armored units but since Ruin already at the factory all Leonidas gotta do is smashed them into spare parts) I thought serious expression (Man I wanted to focus all my time on Ruby but kinda hard to when I know there's gonna be a bunch of bad guys coming at me though Leonidas is doing most of the dirty work while Ruin destroys the factory hidden other side of town) I thought while following Ruby into the craft store...
(Numazu Craft Store)
I was getting too sidetrack but try to maintain a conversation with Ruby... "I can't believe everything on sale today," Ruby said shocked "Yeah I agree its craft store after all," I said smiled "Though remember Ruby let's find some brooches first then we can look at other stuff," I said smiling "Right after brooches then help Hanamaru! I'll do my Rubesty!!" Ruby yelled as I chuckled ruffled her head as I noticed Leonidas in his Champion form outside slammed robot into the ground ripped one head off then blast another one apart (I got the base on panic mode and looks like the factory is gonna go KABOOOMM) Ruin thought snickered (Good job Ruin now hurry back over you got Ruby to protect) I thought (Right I'm on my way) Ruin thought...
"Eh Jewelry and stuff won't really help me as much but thanks for the offer Ruby," I said sweatdrop "I'm sorry not really good with men," Ruby said sweatdrop "It's alright now come on did you got everything?" I asked "Yeah almost done just gonna be waiting over at the cashier," Ruby said smiled "Okay you do that," I said saw Ruin bite the robot guard head off as Leonidas punch through its chest both reverted to rookie forms and rushed to me "...Jeez, you two are sure messy at least I got your guy's towels" I said ruffled them both up "I'm done!! Hmm??" Ruby asked confused looked at Leonidas and Ruin fully clean up stretching "Where you two been??" Ruby asked "Busy working out but got back done from Leon training," Ruin said smiled "That's good hmm???" Ruby asked as we looked at the broken robots outside getting clean up crew away...
(Buddist Temple - Hanamaru Home)
(Leon POV)
"Wow, so this is where Hanamaru lived??" I asked shocked expression "Yep, Hello Hanamaru!!" Ruby yelled "Hey Hanamaru," I said smiled "Helloo!!" Leonidas and Ruin yelled both went to check outside for a bit (I don't hear anything the robots must be dead beat but still...someone is lurking after us) Leonidas thought sweatdrop (Ughhh I just want to spend time with these two...dang it where are they??) I thought confused expression "I don't seen any of them not yet" Ruin said looked back at the outside serious expression... "Hello everyone welcome! zura" Hanamaru said smiled "The first time I come here looks wonderful outside including the breezes," Ruby said smiled "Yeah I agreed hmm?" I asked confused looked at Hanamaru confused eating "I'm sorry Hanamaru but you're going to learn how to use the computer...." I said "WHAT?! zura!!" Hanamaru yelled "As much writing in paint and brush gonna be good and all but for this special, it must be type on," I said sweatdrop "The point is to not master the computer at all but to write a novel! Now power this bad boy up. Do you know where the power button?" I asked smiled "The power button?? Zura, oh this one!" Hanamaru yelled "...That's the spacebar..." I said sweatdrop "Oh," Hanamaru said (This gonna take longer than I thought...) I sighed for a bit "Hm??" I asked confused "Visitor??" I asked shocked "Hello there zura" Hanamaru said smiled "Hello everyone uh my name is Childe Konoe!" Childe yelled smiled "WAIT YOU'RE KANATA TWIN?!" I yelled shocked "Oh yeah that's true so I heard my sister is in your idol club eh?" Childe asked smiled "Yep though what are you doing in the Buddhist temple anyway?" I asked confused "To help you out since Kanata told me what been going on over here so yeah I think you will mind my help?" Childe asked "Hey more the better," I said smiled "I agree," Childe said chuckled, "I thought you were helping me with the computer zura?" Hanamaru asked, "Right wanna come along Childe?" I asked smiled "Sure thing here we go," Childe said chuckled...

*ONE LONG HOW TO USE COMPUTER LATERR*
(Uranohoshi High)
(Leon POV)
Childe was a well very interesting and helpful person just like myself does everything he can to help someone he was also really good in technology both of us were now helping Ruby with her brooches to represent every member of Aqours... "Man Ruby you like natural at this," I said flinched looked at myself "Well Leon this is your first time doing this plus I had sisters who need help with this type of stuff," Childe said, "Yeah Haruka and Kanata right?" I asked "Yep they are well what the main reason why I fight for...most of my time is trying to keep getting stronger to keep them all safe from danger while I'm working every day," Childe said slowly smiled "So family person am I right?" I asked "Yes everything I tried to do or work hard is to keep them safe in a much better world," Childe said snickered "I respect that a lot," Ruby said smiled "Why thank you, Ruby," Childe said "Ruby here is actually trying to finish decorating the Aqours costumes," I said, "Ah I see well why don't you give us info about them on how you think of Aqours members?" Childe asked "Same here I'm actually curious now," I said chuckled...
"Yeah, I put a lot of orange and yellow crystals. They are bright and cheerful like Chika" Ruby said smiled "As expected of a leader" Childe said "Riko is really kind and I feel warm when around with her. So I made hers round and soft. She can play instruments too adding stuff for musical" Ruby said "You's is like shining blue of the ocean and white of the crashing waves" Ruby said "Interesting" Childe said adjusting them for her "Kanan is like the ocean too but she has more of grace and relaxed" Ruby said "My sister is always so cool and refined! But she's so cute when she smiles, I wanted to express the same thing with nice red" Ruby said, "I'm guessing she's like student council president?" Childe asked confused "Yeah she is," Ruby said smiled "I saw posters about her in the city while I was looking for Leon," Childe said confused "Where were you at anyway Childe?" Leonidas asked "I was busy overseas helping out England and France for a bit in rebuilding other than that able to come back for few weeks," Childe said sweatdrop "Mari's personality is and looks are vibrant, but something about her is very sharp. So I design hers to be more vibrant purple" Ruby said "Yoshiko is weird and wears scary accessories but we all know she loves cute stuff so I made hers with crystal gem," Ruby said "And finally Hanamaru my best friend. She's like the spots of sun shining through a canopy. Quiet, calm, and makes you want to be there forever" Ruby said smiled "GAH!" I yelled "LEON???" Childe asked shocked "PIGGGIIII?! What's wrong???" Ruby asked shocked as they both looked at me concerned...
"It's just your analysis of how great the Aqours members are really damaged destroy me when I was telling everyone about Nijigasaki ah my chest...no wonder you are like your sister ughh" I said nervously chuckled "Jeez I thought you legit had a panic attack," Childe said flinched "Nah but almost," I said "I'm not like my sister though she's cute and beautiful I'm just me," Ruby said sweatdrop "And what's wrong with that Ruby?? You can create accessories and do the costumes for Aqours. You are really amazing Ruby and don't let anyone else tell you otherwise" I said smiled "Leon...thank you" Ruby said slowly smiled "Heh well I guess we can all call a day?" Childe asked as everyone nodded....
Ruby was actually thinking a lot hard about what to pick since I did saw a lot of eraser marks but thought hard about everyone's appeal and packed her loved about Aqours into them...She was really amazing as to those brooches and to same as other members... Childe just met us a day but seems to prove to be really nice person overseas and does most of his job as what he does now is to make a better future for the rest of his family members...
