Ryusousha ha Shizukani Kurashitai

◇ Leon, 4 years old

"I'll be the bread maker"

"Well, is Leon the same bakery as his father? It's hard."

That's the first memory I remember.

"Hey, Dad. There are only four of them. I'm gonna be a bakery. I can't believe you made me say that!

"Eina, you said you'd be a bakery when you were little... you didn't say"

"Of course I do. My dreams have always been my daughter-in-law."

"Did you come to your father?

"It's decided differently. A younger, cooler man will pick you up."

"Young and cool...... isn't Dad..."

"I'm Panya!

"Well, yeah, Leon's dream is a bakery. Dad can teach you."

The day my father rejoiced and my sister shuddered, my dream was decided.

◇ Leon, 7 years old

The people of Ryukoku can go to school from the age of seven if they wish.

"Leon, you decide. Learn or work?

"Perhaps!"

"All right, then Leon learn how to make bread. Good luck now and you'll be a good baker."

"Yeah!!

Every day since I proclaimed that, I have learned to make bread.

Until then, he had cleaned the store, carried the firewood he needed on the day he baked the bread, and arranged the bread for sale.

With the help of a simple store, I think it was perfectly done.

The new things I remember at the age of seven are bread grubbing, molding, kiln baking, and store number.

My father and mother taught me what it takes to run a bakery.

Every day was fun and fulfilling.

Apart from that, my father once taught me only to be costly.

"Hey Leon. You want to go to the bakery all the time?

"Yeah. Sure!

"To do that, this country must be at peace."

"... hey?

When was that?

My father said to me, still small, with a serious face.

"If there are a lot of bad people, or wars, and a lot of people come to this town to kill, no one will buy me bread"

………………

As if something horrible were to happen, his father dived his voice and spoke.

"We need to get rid of the bad guys and make sure Leon doesn't go to war to keep the bakery going."

"Right!

It was a difficult story.

I didn't know what that meant, but I remember that next word very well.

"So Leon's in special training with his father"

"Totally?"

"Leon's going to do some special training to keep the bakery going. We'll take out the bad guys and make sure there's no war."

"Yeah! Totally."

Surprisingly, I continued my bakery with a wide variety of training.

Physical surgery, swordsmanship, and throwing, starting with building strength.

From infiltration, escape, how to set a trap to disarming for some reason.

Ha ha, magic......

"This is a medicine to become a magician produced in the Devil's Country (Makoku). With qualities, the magic is revealed. Not right now.... Come on, have a drink"

"Yeah!"

That was grass juice. Yet the liquid was glowing.

If I take a sip, it's so bitter.

But I put up with it and drank it all up.

"It's a nightmare for the mothers."

"Okay!

By this time, there had been an extraordinary increase in secrets just between my father and me.

◇ Leon, 13 years old

I am old enough to be treated as a single person in Dragon Nation.

Those who have been studying since the age of seven go to specialized schools to complete more advanced disciplines.

Those who worked even made independence possible.

That is how old I am when I am thirteen.

For me, six years between the ages of seven and thirteen have been a day of baking and training.

He was recognized as a baker by his father and mother because of his merit and improved his skills.

In the six years I took it seriously, the prospect of succeeding my parents' bakery opened up in the future.

The other way forward was unthinkable.

And one more thing.

"You're thirteen, too. So I'm going to replace this one (...) as well. Leon's on behalf of his father, protect this town."

"Does that mean I'll be Her Majesty's Shadow?

Another job for my father.

Dealing secretly with the bad people who live in the town and those who are avenged by the dragon kingdom.

As Her Majesty's nominee, keep the peace of the town.

That was Shadow's job.

Dad said he would leave it (...) to me.

"Let's go get permission from Her Majesty the Queen. Leon never went to King's Landing."

"Yeah."

"I will meet Her Majesty the Queen and introduce you. With your permission, you are Her Majesty's Right Hand. You have to protect this town on behalf of your father."

One day, when I withheld the age of fourteen, I left Saul's town for the first time to see Her Majesty the Queen.

I stand alone as the "right hand" who performs the same "undercover, search, assassination" as my father.

But I wasn't lost. Because I've been watching my father.

Bake bread during the day and serve delicious bread to the people of the town.

At night, at times, under Her Majesty's command, she cuts off the bad guys in town.

In the future, when I get married and my child grows up, I train my child just like my father, and when the child is in public, I retire.

I had no doubt about that future. [M]

Yes, until that day......
