“Brother Jai!!” Ina cried into his shirt.
Since there was a sudden little reunion, the participants stopped walking. It was when they reached the second chamber that Ina crashed into Jai and surprised them all with her echoing high pitched voice.
All of them saw the little one buried her face into Jai’s hips, refusing to let him go even after her blonde sibling tried to take her away.
Jai nodded to Hans, who was trying to get his sister away, and mouthed to him ‘It’s alright’. Hans nodded and stepped back to give them time.
Jai rubbed her head softly. “Good morning, Ina,” he greeted warmly. Darrion took the sack from his hand so he could give the little girl more attention. Jai knelt down to look at her in the same height. “Did you get a good sleep last night?”
He tried to soften his tone and not make her more stressed t
Darrion put on the gloves and examined it on his hands. A smile crept up to his face when he turned his hands around to see the gloves on his hand. "Wow, these Hunting Gloves are cool!""How do you know they're called Hunting Gloves? They look like ordinary gloves to me," Jai examined his own gloves on his hands."They're sold at the kingdom too but with a higher price. My mother had a thought of buying one for me once, but since I'm not into hunting, she didn't," Darrion said, clapping his hands to feel the gloves' texture.Jai suddenly remembered he wasn't in a modern time civilization, so hunting creatures for food should still exist here. That made him curious on many things. And now since they had nothing better to do on the ship, he decided to ask some questions."Hey, Darrion. Do you only use Hunting Gloves for hunting, or you can use it for something else other than hunting?" Jai asked."Well, you can actually use Hunting Gloves for a
J ai likes to think positive. Even when he was facing something incredibly bad, he was always trying to look at the brighter side.“Huurrkkkk!!” Jai retched into the bucket. His face was pale as a vampire and glossy as a fish. The last one was necessary so you won’t daydream Jai being shiny like a diamond, because he wasn’t feeling as good as diamond right now.Beads of sweat ran down the side of his face as he felt like his spirit was leaving him. He looked like a ghost.Jai didn’t like to complain. He always tried his best so that he would not be complained either. But sometimes, no one can control what is going to happen. Although this one right here was definitely something controllable, it got sort of uncontrollable real fast.He could’ve refused. He could’ve rejected. Sadly, he didn’t. He could’ve stood still and let Darrion go by himself. But, he d
When he reached the forest, it was already dark. But lucky enough, the weather was clear and the moon was high. Sorry, the moons were high. So it wasn’t too dark to see the way.Jai stopped for a while to look at the moons and he was amazed by how big they looked. They weren’t gigantic per se, but if compared to the Earth’s moon, they were bigger. Like an egg compared to a Fuji apple. He wondered if there was any person that had reached those moons before like how Armstrong reached their Earth’s moon.Jai put that wonderment aside and continued his walk past the dead trees of the dead forest. He went through this forest for quite a few times by now that he was used to the scenery. Barren and dead. Not really a great place to get used to, but it made him more curious instead.“What happened to this forest and why?” Jai wondered.He had heard that there was a war ages ago. He wond
Dinner was served right after Jai finished cleaning up, and Barun was already home by then. The old man expressed his relief by patting the boy on the head affectionately. They ate dinner together along with Usha, just like usual. And just like usual, Miria asked Jai to tell them his experience, and he did just that. He told them from the incident of Watch Tower 1 until the problem about Torfo. But he left the part of the stolen artifact because he thought it was too risky to tell them that. Besides, the Minister had specifically asked the ones involved in the incident to never speak of it ever again.As he recount the story to them, he couldn’t help but notice Yaju’s disappearance after he was caught and detained by the Minister and the teachers. After the incident, Naoki just miraculously showed up and replaced Yaju as the assistant. And he was even more curious why no one asked why Naoki was replacing Yaju.Sure, Raka and Dama
“Will you be home for dinner?” Miria asked as she gave him his scarf. Jai easily put on the scarf and nodded. “Yes. Do you want or need anything?” he asked that as he re-checked his money pouch in his pocket. His prize money from the tournament was still existent. He didn’t know if one hundred gold is a lot, but apparently, Barun had helped him exchanging them into silvers and coppers. However, he still needed help in determining how many they really are in his pouch. Meaning, how much their worth. Oh yes, they still use pouches in this world, or that’s what Jai noticed. He preferred using his wallet though. He brought his wallet with him when he transmigrated here, but it sat idly in the drawer in his room just like his old clothes. He wondered if wallets had already been invented or not, knowing that paper money had already been invented. These papers were obviously folded in the pouch. But luckily, the designer of the pouch was smart enough to install two spaces i
The inside was just as fancy as it looked from the outside. There were many curious things inside the store, like a magician’s shop, but with more chemical tools on display.There was a smell that was unknown to Jai. But he guessed it was the mixture of various herbs in the room, and from the arrangements of chemical glasses in the left side of the room. Those glassy bowls and tubes that contains some kind of light purple, pink, and blue liquids in each glasses. They were connected with some kind of circular and loopty loop tube, and at the end of the last tube, it was left open and Jai could see lavender colored gas coming out of it and disappeared instantly.‘This doesn’t smell weird, but nicely herbal,’ Jai unconsciously smile from how fragrant the smell actually was.There was a golden globe like thing in the corner of the room, near the door frame that Jai guessed must be the back of the stor
Jai sipped his blue tea and relaxed satisfyingly.“What makes this tea very different from the other tea, Auntie? It’s sweet, yet not too sweet. It’s refreshing, and it feels like I am chilling myself in a beach. We just need baked fish on a leaf and a young coconut with a spoon,” Jai said, his eyes gazing at the blue water inside his cup.He wasn’t afraid of mentioning the said fruit to Darisha because apparently, it was the same as in his previous world. He found that endearing and satisfying, because at least, not all of the things here are different from his previous world. And at least, he could satisfy his yearning for the previous world by drinking coconut water.Darisha chuckled as she poured some hot water into the third thermos. The steam could be seen coming out if the thermos.“That must be the Aiberry extract I put in along with. It adds the unique sweetness no other berry can give,” Darisha replied a
“I ordered some products and I heard the shipment would be around twelve, so I came. It should be my attendants, but… I feel like taking a walk by myself, so I decided I’ll take it instead,” Madam Rue answered.Jai looked at her with uneasiness. “Um, excuse me, madam. I don’t mean to insult or anything, but… You have attendants, yet, you’re walking by yourself?”Madam Rue waved her hand to him. “Oh it’s fine. It’s just for a while. Sometimes a lady needs time for herself,” she told him in a whisper.“Well… You’re a lady… You should be escorted wherever you go, but… I cannot argue the wish of being alone for a few minutes,” Jai replied, a bit uneasily. “Although if I were your attendant, I would insist going everywhere with you even if you threatened to fire me.”Madam Rue smiled so wide her teeth shown for a while. Her e
