I stood outside of the leonhardt's house holding a bouquet of roses in hand. I was preparing to ask Mr. Leonhardt permission to take annie on an outing date that might last 2 days.
-flashback-
Hey mikasa! I hugged my sister like best friend who was currently busy with paper work for her family company "Azumabito inc. " which is a well known technology business.
So what brings you here armin? She asks while taking a folder from her desk and frowning at the sight of it.
Well i need to ask you a favor? If you don't mind? I scratched the back of my head shyly.
Sure anything, what is it?
Can i rent the private island we used to visit during our childhood ? For 2 days? I ask her with pleading eyes.
You don't need to rent it, you can stay there for as long as you need. But can i ask what for though? Just curious she eyes me.
Uh.. Well.. I'm dating this girl-i couldn't even finish as mikasa's strong hands grip my shoulders in a second.
You have a girlfriend and you didn't tell me?? She questioned me with an intense stare.
Uhhh I'm sorry i was busy and you were too... I bowed my head.
She giggles a bit, well i hope your date goes well but i better meet the girl soon. She better not break your heart or I'll break her... She says with a scary serious look.
Don't worry mikasa she's nice and actually she's a bit similar to you. I reassured her. Mikasa is overprotective of those she loves and cares about and she would easily get worried for eren and me especially eren though it's as if she feels like she'll lose him anytime with the way she protected him back then it toned down now though.
Say i noticed earlier that something was bothering you mikasa..? Do you wanna talk about it? I ask while sitting in one of her chairs as she did too.
Well... Don't tell anyone about this....but i found out my grandmother has been doing some..... Shady stuff.. She avoids eye contact and gripped the folder.
You know i wont tell. So what did you find out? I gave her a concerned gaze.
One of the reasons our company had grown rapidly in my grandmother's time.. Was due to her being involved in illegal businesses like human trafficking and what's worse is.... She's connected to one of my dad's distant relatives kenny Ackermann..... She was the one who exported Kenny's drugs worldwide benefiting them both financially..
Armin.... I can't believe it... The business my mother loved and cared about so much was built in crimes.... What would she ever do if she found out? Her voice broke as she held her head in a frustrated manner.
Mikasa... Does eren know..? I ask her.
Yes... I've told him about it as soon as i found out... He said he'll look into it and help more with their investigation on kenny.
I do want to bring justice to all the victims but.... I worry that eren might get hurt or worse get killed! Not only that... I can't imagine the pain mother will go through from finding out.. Mikasa's face was contorted in frustration and sadness almost as if she's remembering an unpleasant memory.
Mikasa.. Believe in eren he's strong and right now your uncle, captain levi is very much involved in the case... So im sure they'll handle just fine. And your mom... Well she'll have to find out.. I mean she's going to get hurt even more if she never knew... I tried to calm her down.
