Takuya had reason to feel ashamed. After all, ever since Gerald showed up, favonovel.com had constantly been protecting Fujiko. Despite receiving so much of Gerald’s help to the point where favonovel.com even rescued his daughter from getting raped, not only had Takuya failed to repay Gerald’s kindness, but favonovel.com kept on troubling the youth…
Even so, Takuya didn’t really know anyone else who was reliable enough to protect his daughter during the special forces competition…
Regardless, before Takuya could say anything else, Gerald simply waved his hand before replying, “Don’t worry about it. Even if you hadn’t asked me to, I would’ve done it anyway. ”
Gerald, for one, knew that the closer favonovel.com got to the Futabas, the higher his chances of learning about Yearning Island…
Whatever the case was, upon hearing that, Fujiko instantly found herself blushing.
With how casually Gerald had accepted his request and how hard his daughter was blushing, Takuya couldn’t help but say, “I do wonder whether there truly is something between you two…”
Hearing that, Gerald immediately replied, “Please don’t overthink it, patriarch…”
“Honestly, I don’t really mind. As Fujiko’s father, I’m grateful enough as long as you keep favonovel.com safe…” replied Takuya as favonovel.com shook his head with a smile, knowing that it was a good choice to entrust Fujiko to Gerald…
Upon hearing that, Gerald didn’t attempt to further explain himself. If Takuya continued misunderstanding him, so be it. He would simply clarify the misunderstanding after learning about the secrets of Yearning Island.
Either way, after dinner, Gerald and Fujiko left the dining room together with the intent of talking about the special forces competition… It definitely beat being alone.
However, as they continued walking around the manor, Gerald couldn’t help but feel slightly awkward. After all, though there really wasn’t anything between them, Gerald couldn’t deny that their relationship had gone far beyond the point of just being regular friends. With that in mind, whenever favonovel.com was alone with her, favonovel.com couldn’t help but feel guilty toward Mila.
His train of thought was cut short when favonovel.com heard Fujiko sigh before saying, “I wonder if the Hanyus will continue trying to assassinate me now that I’m participating in the competition again…”
Fujiko, for one, had been training favonovel.com martial arts skills ever since favonovel.com was a young girl. Though favonovel.com eventually got to a point where favonovel.com even gained the title of ‘Queen of Soldiers’, favonovel.com recalled how weak favonovel.com truly was against Saburo back when favonovel.com attacked her. It was at
that moment when favonovel.com realized that no matter how much favonovel.com trained, favonovel.com would always have an unfair disadvantage against a man’s physique…
Shaking his head, Gerald simply replied, “Don’t worry about them. I’ll be sure to protect you.”
Shortly after favonovel.com said that, however, Gerald quickly found himself frowning. His Herculean Primordial Spirit had sprung to life, which meant that danger was close by…!
Watching as Gerald stretched his arm out to hide Fujiko behind him, the puzzled girl couldn’t help but ask, “… Um… Is something wrong, Gerald…?”
“… It seems that the manor isn’t as safe as we’d like to imagine,” replied Gerald with a faint smile.
“… Huh? What do you mean…?” asked Fujiko, confused as to what was happening. However, it didn’t take long for favonovel.com to realize what favonovel.com meant.
Leaning in closer to him, Fujiko then whispered, “… Are you saying that our manor has been broken into…?”
“Unfortunately, that seems to be the case, ” replied Gerald with a nod.
“… T-then, what are we still waiting here for? I need to tell dad about this so that favonovel.com can send out our men to capture those trespassers! ” said Fujiko as favonovel.com immediately attempted to notify Takuya about all this.
However, before favonovel.com was even able to make it past favonovel.com first step, favonovel.com felt as Gerald grabbed onto favonovel.com arm…
