She looks shocked and looks and notices a handsome boy come into the shop

Girl: umm, can I help you?

Ryouta: oh hey little girl...I'm looking for the owner of the shop...

Girl: oh...he will be around soon*she looks around *

Ryouta was confused at what she meant but she asked him why he came so he anwered

Girl: oh a gun hoster and guns? we can make a gun hoster...as for Gun...we don't deal with guns we can fix them and repair but we don't make guns...*looking at his feet* we can also make shoes

Ryouta: oh...oh yeah my shoes keep ripping...so can you make shoes for me...also some skates...

He shows some designs

Girl: wow what is this...

Ryouta:...hmm not sure...but I just felt like a connection to them...

The girl smiles...she ran and got an old man...who Ryouta could have sworn wasn't human...Ryouta had a lot of issues with this old man...but after the girl calmed him down he finally left...it was decided she will be done with his request in a weeks time

Ryouta: oh yeah...little girl what's your name

Girl: oh my name is Winry

Ryouta smiles: sure...follow me

Hak looks at Ryouta confused but Hak leads him to a pub

-------------------

Hak POV

this is Ryouta right...

The whole time he was shocked...

Ryouta had effort befriended a criminal, got into their trade...somehow got on their leader good graces...got the layout of all the thieves with kidnapping cases...he then somehow got close to their leader's daughter and had him ask daughter for help...she told her father that her friend was kidnapped...shocked that his daughter friend was kidnapped order a takedown of the thieves guild who kidnapped his daughter friend and destroyed them and Princess Yona was rescued

This all took place in a few hours...

Hak thought....Ryouta is scary...

Yona hugged Ryouta and Ryouta took them to the smith shop and they hung out with Winry....

-------------------

Ryouta didn't stay long he put his Air Techs and gun hosters in his storage ring after checking how they felt

During this time he learned according to Winry this place is the Holy land and he has to go to the gate to leave...

Ryouta leaves the gate and along the way, he sees a man with a silver mask...he looks shocked as he see Ryouta

Silver masked: boy...where did you come from

Ryouta: the holy land...

his eyes shined: the gate...

Ryouta told him how to enter like it was nothing and left...

---------------------

When Ryouta was in China..he realized he had no money...he had no destination so he decided to head to Japan...he felt he must be Japanese... yup he wanted to go to japan...not because a triad was making a fuss about food and wasted it so Ryouta Body slammed him into the ground...causing an incident...

He also realized he had no paperwork...so going to Japan was difficult...so he snuck up on a boat that was going to Japan...The only thing is it was a pirate ship...and it was inspected and Ryouta almost was arrested when he arrived to Japan so he ran away...

homeless Ryouta struggled for a bit and ended up needed a base to operate and make money

So he started making a base near a

Ryouta: F.u.c.k F.u.c.k F.u.c.k

Ryouta was having it tough. He tried to make some inventions but this kid named Ryouta Kise beat him too it...Ryouta hated this Kise kid... Ryouta had no backing but this Ryouta did

The base was nothing great...he was going to set a connection for Sakura at this base...it looked like a garbage dump but the inside was spacious...Ryouta along the way made underlings...friends...family...They had similar situations to him...They had no well nothing great so Ryouta had told them he protect them...he said whatever the situation was the leader will protect them...he called them the Kazuma family

He started wearing a red bandana to indicate he was the leader...but Ryouta...

Ryouta also had some kid who also named Kazuma to follow him around. Ryouta laughed at the fact they shared the same name.

----------------------------

one day he was walking around town in the rain at night. Ryouta was looking for some get rich scheme...he was eating less than he wanted to. He had to support not only the freeloaders (Est, Sakura, Grayfia) but the underlings (Kazuma family) so he was eating only like 10000 calories a day

He then smelled food of a restruant...he looked up at the sign Yukihira dinner

An old man sees the boy Ryouta was about to walk away sadly but the old man waves at the boy to come on in

The boy hesitates and comes in

The restaurant was about to close but the boy came in

old man: boy...you look hungry...do you want anything

Ryouta: I'm not hungry

a loud growl could be heard from his stomach

the old man laughs: haha no need to be like that...*he looks at the back and screams* Tamako we have a customer you're special

Tamako grawls: ugh geese don't people know that the hours of the restaurant are...

she says that but smiles happily and gets ready to cook...

Ryouta sees her cooking...her smiling face as she cooking

Ryouta: strange...I enjoy cooking but...she seems to be something unique...

Ryouta was excited to eat her food as it was presented to him and one thing that hit him as he ate it

Ryouta: it's terrible

Tamako: oh I failed again...
