I don't know if Leo will stay at EMC at the conclusion of the current thread, but here's what if he did. ---------- Rekka-san had been right.
Sakurada-san was doing his best, but there were tight restrictions on his movements - most of the time, he was confined to base except when there was an attack or a suspected portal. And even then, he had guards - Kuroki-san had deemed them 'assistants', but Leo was sure that it was to make sure that Leo didn't run off.
Also, there was an awfully large amount of paperwork involved.
But at least Sakurada-san and his teammates were able to focus on what they were supposed to be doing - preventing a rogue computer program from emerging into the world - and Leo was glad he could take the pressure off of Sakurada-san a bit.
Kuroki-san had requested that Leo start training people in Makai, or at least in how to defend the world from Horrors. Leo knew he was going to have to do it anyway, so he took it probably better than Rekka-san had. With Kuroki-san's permission, Leo had started interviewing staff to look for people who could be Knights and Priests. He had some prospects - a female technician looked like she has promise as a Priest - but it was slow going.
It was going to take a long time, but he'd known that going in. He knew he'd probably be in this place the rest of his life.
His superiors had spoken about "anulling" the marriage that really didn't happen, cutting the tie to Kaoru-san, in order to free him to marry someone in this world if needed. Kaoru-san had said she'd visit, but who knew what was going on at home? He wasn't suprised that she hadn't come.
He thought sometimes about gating out and returning away from EMC, but as much as he hated the restrictions that Kuroki-san put on him, there was a job that needed to be done. Eventually, they did need more people than him, and on the outside. But this was a place to start.
There was a rap on the door, and he answered it. "Thought you might want to be reminded to eat," Sakurada-san said wryly.
He had to admit that there were some advantages to the whole thing. He was fed, and EMC did give him a roof over his head and supplies. And company. Sakurada-san and the others might not completely understand what he did, but they respected him. And it was obvious that the staff that worked with him, especially his guards, respected him even more.
It still didn't excuse holding him against his will, but unlike Rekka-san, he was ready for the long term. EMC was working to get him citizenship, an existence of sorts, of this world. He could hardly ask for more.
