Miria nodded. “Yes.”
“And then you started having these strange symptoms after you consumed the medicine. You started feeling cold all of a sudden, mild headache, tired easily…” the doctor mentioned.
Miria seemed to realize as something seemed to dawn on her. “Could it be the medicine…”
Doctor Prime smiled solemnly, tilting his head a bit. “Not the medicine, but the ingredients to make it.”
Jai widened his eyes a bit. “The flower.”
Doctor Prime smiled and nodded. “The Glaucus flower. D

The Last Thunder 228 – Grandfather’s Consent
Jai and Miria had lunch at the small kiosk and then spent their time after buying groceries in the South Market before going straight home. On their way home, Jai was quite a bit distracted by how he could convince Barun to give his consent. Well, the old man was cooperative about the checkup, but Jai wouldn’t be as sure with the expensive treatment. And unfortunately, since Jai didn’t manage to fish the price from the doctor, he also wouldn’t have the answer should Barun asked him about it later.‘This is actually a bit shady, but if this is passed, there might be no other chances… Maybe I should ask Darrion for help, digging information about this doctor to see if he’s true…’ Jai thought as he walked, ignoring a small kitten jumping up to his shoulder and up his head.Usha had to scratch him a bit on the head before they entered the forest, just to get his attention straight. This was the k

The next day, Jai departed early because he wanted to give Darrion a visit and also ask for a favor, yet, again. He felt that this blonde would get over him by that point, but he hoped not, because he would really need his help on this one.“JAIII!! Oh man! I missed you!” Darrion exclaimed excitedly before hugging him right there in front of his house.‘So he’s not over me yet,’ Jai thought, patting the blonde on the back while chuckling. “It’s always nice meeting you, Darrion.”“Aww~ You don’t miss me?” Darrion faked a pout.Jai chuckled and hummed. “Hmm, naah, I’ll say no just to tick you.”“You dog,” Darrion grinned. “You’re so early, what makes you come here at this hour? I was just about to leave for work.”Jai grimaced a bit. “Oh sorry

So… Apparently, Jai’s fame had not died down even after two weeks. When Jai entered the Windlet’s Headquarters, it wasn’t very noisy at first. Well it was, of course, filled with the noisiness of workplace where people were shouting at each other in encouraging ways or maybe some discussions that could not be solved by simply whispering around… To put it simply, the place was actually lively.But the place became livelier when the receptionist girl unconsciously shouted his name after Darrion took him to accept the billboard request. Then, it became quite of a swarm.A howl permeated the air under the scorching hot sun. Somewhere in the east plains, there was a showdown between Moonwolves and a certain black haired guy. Aside from the sound of howl and breezing wind, the sharp chirps of thunder also joined in the fight. Screams of agony from wolves being beaten and stomped by lightning strikes soon echoed, replacing the howl they did in

“How’s Doctor Tate?” Carrola asked, since the last time they met was discussing about disease.“Turns out, Doctor Tate heard it from someone else, so he recommended the person to me,” Jai said.“Really? Who did he hear it from?” Carrola asked.“Another doctor named Prime,” Jai answered.“Doctor Prime?” Carrola smiled. “Isn’t he the organ specialist from the hospital? Doctor Tate told you to ask him?”Jai nodded. “It seems like that person is famous. He’s Darrion’s doctor too.”Darrion looked at him funnily. “Any doctor can be anyone’s doctor, Jai. You make it seem like he’s my doctor being a big deal.”“You’re ADHD. Your doctor have to be super patient in dealing with you,” Jai told the blon

Jai frowned in confusion. “What do you mean you don’t care?”Darrion also looked at the doctor in confusion.Their food came and Doctor Prime sipped on his ginger tea before he spoke again. “Sorry, young one. This may seem like a conflict of interest, but honestly, I don’t really care. I’m the only one who has the knowledge to save her life. She had been suffering with that disease for a long time, her body is beyond fragile. When I say that I cannot believe she was still alive to this day, I really mean it. That disease she’s suffering from, is a very strong energy that could not be possible for a human to stay alive if they are in direct contact with it. I am not exaggerating,” the doctor shook his head.Jai looked confused as he stared at the doctor.“You saw it yourself yesterday, the girl looked so happy to know she can be cured. She put her hopes on me, and I will not let her down. So I said what

As Jai was thinking, Barun’s figure popped into his mind and immediately reminded him that he actually had the permission to help Miria however he can. The old man was asking for his help after all, so should he plan on doing anything related to helping Miria, it should be fine, right?Jai felt foolish for being swept by the blue-ish atmosphere. The doctor was just telling a story, why should he feel sad too? He swallowed the knot in his throat and shook his head lightly to get rid of the feeling.‘I can feel sorry for him, but I shouldn’t be sad with him too,’ he thought. He looked at the old man who was still hanging his head, feeling miserable for his past.“Umm, doc. I am not trying to dispirit you even further or anything, but I think the father has a right to be mad at you. It was his daughter that you treated and most parents treasure their children,” Jai said, to which the doctor nodded in agreement. “But you sti
Last Updated : 2021-07-25The Last Thunder 234 - Figuring out what to do
Talking to Barun was not a problem as the old man was already asking for his help. He excluded the price part in their conversation as didn’t think it was that necessary to mention. Barun signed the consent paper, and it was safe to say they got the permission to start the process.Jai didn’t right away choose what he’s going to do the next day. But he contemplated. He weighed the options about which one he should do first. He could go to Madam Rue and try asking for a job and possibly about the Honey Pearlet, or he could try to find the Oakshen family by himself to ease Darrion.Speaking of Darrion, Jai was a bit confused by his friend’s behavior after they left Doctor Prime’s office yesterday. The blonde seemed a bit hesitant, and Jai noticed this from how quiet he was being when they returned to his house. Jai assumed that there’s something the windlet wasn’t telling him, but he didn’t know what it is.Squ

Jai ended up leaving three hours later than expected because he was so into the books Sir Rallion had written. That was the first time he knew Darrion’s father’s name. It was unique, like the rest of the people in here. But somehow, he was thinking ravioli when he read the name. But it was just his weird mind messing around.Darrion’s father, Rallion, wrote so many books about plants and herbs from all over the world. He didn’t just write those in the Aeronvein, but also plants the Fire Kingdom, the Earth Kingdom, and the Water Kingdom. It was also at that time that Jai finally learned about the other kingdoms’ names. He might’ve heard it somewhere from someone else, but it didn’t finally sink in until then. The Fire Kingdom was Pyreblair Kingdom, which sounded quite intimidating. The Earth Kingdom was Bouldren Gordhum, he finally learned the spelling after being confused by Darrion when Galum left. Lastly, the Water Kingdom which nam

The Last Thunder 611 – Baby Shower (2)
Jai felt something wrapped around his stomach from behind. He immediately looked down to his waist, spotting two smaller sized hands coiling on his waist.‘A kid, obviously. But who is it?’ Jai wondered. This was a baby shower event, so he wasn’t feeling weird if children attend too. The question is, who is this kid?He tried to turn around to look at the hugger, but the kid was hugging him tight. It wouldn’t be hard to push it, but he was reluctant because it’s a kid. He knew there’s nothing he could do but ask.“Oh? Hello? Is there anything you need?” Jai asked with a friendly tone.He could hear giggles, but the kid didn’t answer his question.“Oh are we playing guess?” Jai asked.More giggles.“It’s a boy.” Someone whispered from his left side. A familiar voice yet he could not name.“Hey!” The boy protested.But from that tone alone, Jai could already figure out who it is. So he said. “Hello, Ruta-kun.”The kid let him go and Jai could finally turn around. True, it was Ruta. The
The Last Thunder 610 – Baby shower (1)
On the day when the baby shower was held, Jai arrived at the place with Baji.The venue is in a mansion in the North Town. Jai hadn’t been in that certain neighbourhood, but he finally understood that the North Town is the place for the riches, and the neighbourhood they were in is probably among the richest. The mansion building is tall, and the garden is so wide. There’s a medium sized pond with two gazebos on the side, and then there’s also a small orchard on the right side of the mansion.Baji leaned in to whisper something. “The party is in the back garden. And keep your mouth shut, please. You’re a famous guy and I don’t want you looking stupid.” Then he leaned back.Jai immediately closed his unconsciously parted lips and recited the plan. He couldn’t, of course, confront an important figure of a clan in a crowded venue. So Baji and Gilbert had made a plan to help him talk alone with Fuuji Fu in the venue. He just have to make sure he could deal with the ‘fans’, though he hoped
The Last Thunder 609 – Invitation
It isn’t a doubt that Cynthia was reluctant to share that information with Harris because Jai was there. So Jai proposed to the brunette to re-visit the place later in the day to ask about it.Baji was there when they returned, and Jai immediately told him about the findings he got also to consult about the Fiery Lotus.Baji crossed his arms on his chest and nodded in acknowledgement. “It’s fortunate that a promising lead is finally here. We’re sorry for the late initiative from our part. We should’ve worked harder.”He didn’t think that he would receive an apology from Baji. But it showed that the man is a responsible person. Jai shook his head. “It’s alright. From the start, it was already a scavenger hunt. But do you know anything about either of those?”Baji fixed his seating before he explained. “Well about the Chief of Fuuji, he’s a strict person on males. He’s nice to females, and he’s really into babies. There’s only one male person he had shown his friendly side to in public,
The Last Thunder 608 – Not on the first one
“So uhh, this person whom you mentioned before with Tsubasa is a very important person. And you want to ask him about Alex?” Darrion asked when they were in the carriage, heading back.Jai narrowed his eyes. “Why aren’t you being straightforward?”“I’m a bit tired from today. There are so many deliveries like yesterday. But ahh… I’m more tired in trying to understand what they say.” Darrion said with nervous smile.Jai forgot that his friend is not adept in Shouha language, it must be hard to work without understanding what anyone is saying.“Sorry.” Jai apologized.Darrion nodded. “It’s fine. Let’s just stick to no name for now, if possible. I… Can’t really erect a barrier right now.”“Sure.” Jai nodded. “The… Family, you know, told me about him. Saying that he is the first person we can ask about Alex. But he has a very high standing, as you’ve listened to me and the father talked about him, so it won’t be easy to talk to him.”“I see. So that’s why you go to them. They can be consi
The Last Thunder 607 – A Favor
"Sorry if it's too much of me to ask." Jai said."Oh no, no. It's fine. But my mother is not at home though, is that alright?" Yuta asked as he turned to Jai and Darrion behind him."It's alright. It's very sudden after all." Jai said."Alright then. Would tea be alright?" Yuta asked."Yes. It's fine. Thank you." Jai answered.Fu Fuuji is the head chief of one of the notorious Ten Guardian Clans, the Fuuji clan. After leaving the Komatsu’s residence, he was thinking about how to get in touch with this person. And the Akamine clan is the first thing that came into Jai’s mind.While they don’t really owe him a favor, this family is the closest connection that he has to the Fuuji clan, because they’re also one of the Ten Guardian Clans.Also, he knew that it’s not guaranteed that he would get an audience with Fu Fuuji through the Akamine. There’s a possibility that they are enemies with each other. But he would at least try to ask. So here they were, in the Akamine clan’s residence.Yuta
The Last Thunder 606 – Arrangement
Returning to the present.“Little Sparks. Fiery Lotus. What the hell are those?” Jai asked as they left the compound.“Quiet down. You’re gonna get us killed for that.” Claude remindedJai turned around and talked in slight whisper. “If it’s associated with the Queen, that means it’s very private. In the North Town, in a community place like thing. It doesn’t ring any bells from the previous search. Do you know anything about it?”He saw an empty horse mount coming in their direction and waved it.The mount stopped in front of them and they immediately climbed in the carriage. “Southeast Windlet Post Office.” He told the horse mount driver.Weaving the air barrier thicker, Claude replied. “I don’t. I’m a hunter, not a mercenary. How do you suppose I know these things?”Jai smiled shortly with a shrug. “Maybe? Ah… But this is a major progress in the case. At least we know he’s not dead, and it will take more effort to rescue him now.” Jai smiled.Claude stared at Jai suspiciously. “Why

They were led to a corridor which have several doors across from each other. Alex immediately knew they are resting rooms, because he could see a bed from one of the opened doors.One of the committees, the previous guy who shot the Cloud Viewing Rune in the ceremony, pulled his hood down, showing his blonde hair. Then he turned around while the other committees went past him, leaving him to deal with the new freshmen batch.“Good morning. My name is Liam. I am one of the guild members and I am one of the supervisors of the freshmen. Well, not really supervisor, but I’m the one they put in charge to look after you when the super seniors are out. Like right now. Oh and umm, I’m not alone. I have my friends with me to look after you. So please don’t do anything rash, because we outpower you by a lot. And we prefer not to hit you, because you’re a potential junior. Please be nice to each other, okay?”Alex didn’t really pay attention. He stopped listening when he uttered the fourth sente
The Last Thunder 604 – The ceremony
That morning on the day when Jai went to the Komatsu’s house, Alex had already settled in ‘the place’.He wasn’t familiar with the kingdom, as such, he didn’t know where he was taken to.And since he was late, he was grouped with those who were also late. Many eyes stared at him when he entered the room—it was an average room with beds—reserved only for those who arrived late.Apparently, those who arrived first had attended the ceremony and the first phase—and those who were late had to attend on their own. But they would be gathered together after that, and he would be able to meet his roommate. That was what Master Fu said yesterday when he dropped him off. But the old man wasn’t lying.He went through a sleepless night—because there were many others here that he didn’t know and he wasn’t keen on getting surprise attacked in the middle of his sleep. But the night went by uneventfully, fortunately.He and the others were given a tray of scone and tea to start the day. He didn’t eat

“Don’t. Test. Me.”Jai’s eyes glowed brighter for a second as he emphasized the last words.The civilians, of course flinched at his threat. All of them knew him as a humble and righteous young man. Always smiling and looked very kind. They never knew this side of him. That’s why they were very surprised. The Kizuato group wasn’t included though, they were there exactly to prevent Jai doing what he planned to do.Akane, who had have enough of her parents’ plan, stood up.“Akane-chan!” Rio tried to stop her, but she went anyway and spoke.But instead of retaliating at the guest in their house like the rest of her family, she was looking at her mother instead. “Just tell him, mother!”Rio frowned deep at her. “What are you saying, Akane?”Akane gritted her teeth. “Just tell him!! If you tell him, no one will be hurt!”Rio shut her mouth and swallowed, but she didn’t say anything.Akane looked at her mother with bewildered expression. “If you don’t, then I will.” She turned to Jai.
