After staying in their Dublin home for less than a week, Leonard, Joan, and Fairmont boarded a plane to Tokyo. It was a bit late to go to Japan now, but fortunately, their schedule was flexible and they hadn't set a specific time beforehand.
Before their departure, Leonard informed the Japanese side about the possibility of a delay and explained the reasons. It was a matter of courtesy to inform the other party.
The Japanese side fully understood the situation, as it was indeed more important to receive the castle under normal circumstances than to proceed with the upcoming negotiations.
Additionally, Leonard spent the days in Dublin sorting out his previous royalties. Although "Grimm's Fairy Tales" had only been published for half a year and "The Terror" for two to three months, both books brought substantial returns.
