2021-07-28 23:35:21Jai 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

“Say… Are you and Miria into that kind of relationship?” Darrion asked when they were flying above the forest. The air was breezing refreshingly as they were in the air, contrast to the ugly scene of the dead forest below them. Jai looked at him, confused. “What kind of relationship?” “Well…” the blonde tilted his head a bit in hesitation. “You asked her to pack your clothes instead of packing it yourself… I was thinking you trust her with packing your undergarments…?” Jai stared at the blonde for a few seconds before he blinked and asked. “If I slap you, will we fall to the ground and die?” Darrion jolted a bit in fear, understanding that he just asked a stupid question but didn’t want to admit it. “Wh-What?! W-Why do you want to slap me? I’m only asking a question!” “Well it’s ridiculous,” Jai looked at him flatly. “You just started a conversation about undergarments, that is already inappropriate.” “Sorry, dude! I was only curious a

“Welcome to my house, brother Jai!” the little girl welcomed him as they entered the house.Jai looked around a bit and just took in the surroundings.The lobby, or living room, was wide. It was probably a 7x7 meters wide, and there were two stairs across the room, leading to the second floor. There were also doors on both sides of the room, and two more doors just beside the stairs in the same floor. It was not this large when they saw it from above, but actually entering it is a whole different story. Especially with all the decors.The ground was dark tiled and adorned with red carpet. The walls were cream colored with dark brown wood for its bottom half. There were also potted plants, some big sized potted plants that Jai thought must be planted for the sake of nature element in the room. There was also two wooden statues with different poses on each side of the stairs, and it looked a tad bit fancy since they looked like they’re

They went to the second floor and entered the door in the end of the room. Upon entering, Jai saw a bigger chandelier in front of them and railing that stretched surrounding the wide gaping space in the middle of the room. They walked along the right side of the railing as Jai turned his attention to the floor below.It seemed that he was wrong to assume the previous room was the living room. That was really just a lobby while this one definitely looked more like a living room. Jai could see couches in under their first position of entrance. Walking to the end of the room, he also saw a wide carpet below with two small bookshelves, low coffee table and cushions. On the side of the room across from them, still in the lower ground, there was a fireplace, and there were some couches and one more wide carpet, possibly to relax. There were a few medium sized potted plants to spice up the color a little bit.Jai frowned as he observed the floor fr

Jai listened to Helen’s instructions about the little girl which was not at all hard for him. He just had to make sure she’s eating properly because she couldn’t eat by herself. He also has to tuck her in at eight PM.“Don’t leave me if I’m not sleeping yet, brother Jai. I’m only six, the beasts can eat me,” Alyssa, the little girl, said.Jai was slightly surprised when he knew she was only six, because she looked smarter than that. But he smiled and nodded at her. “Sure. I’ll make sure you’re safe before leaving you to these lovely guardians.”Alyssa looked at him, confused. “Guardians?”Jai nodded before gesturing to the three dog beast in the room. “Kiki, Olsen, and Hugo are your guardians, right?”Alyssa’s eyes widened as she looked at her dog beast, fascination could be seen on her face. “Guardians…”Kiki and Olsen we

“I will take Cookie Kingdom and dominate the world! Hahahaha!!” Jai laughed maniacally with sparks of lightning running up and down his arms.He was standing beside Hugo, who was sitting straight and looking flatly at the defending army of two smaller beasts and rows of dolls in front of him.Alyssa’s face frowned in fear as she stood behind Kiki and Olsen, and the rows of dolls. She hugged her cookie pillow and tried to retaliate. “You will not get Mister Cookie, you evil sorcerer!”Kiki whistled and Olsen barked at Jai, seemingly believing that Jai was reallyJai laughed again. “What will you do, silly little princess? Throw me with spoons and teacups?”Alyssa pouted and stood her ground straighter. She pointed to him. “No! I will have my two faithful guardians defeat you! Kiki! Olsen! Get him!”Kiki and Olsen barked at the same time and jumped at Jai.Jai faked a gasp and knelt

Jai didn’t actually know why he agreed to this small challenge, but if it means a slight prestige to his undermined self in this house, he would.“At least, there’s something I can boast by cooking her meal,’ Jai thought. ‘Besides, it was just cooking.’Not to mention that the recipe in his mind didn’t require too much ingredients. Just a few main ones, and he can improvise the rest. Besides, there should be sufficient ingredients here, being the kitchen of a rich family. He could see various seasonings and cooking utensils that were well kept in shelves. There was an old style oven, the hearth oven, and he contemplated whether to change his recipe or not. But after a few considerations, he decided to stick to the first option because it would be easier and faster. A filling one for lunch, made with tomato and cheese. Anyone can guess.Jai asked Roger about the ingredients in the kitchen, and Roger helped him prepa

Babysitting Alyssa was not hard at all. She’s a very sweet girl and it was more like a pleasure than effort because of how smart and lovely she is.Darrion came by the next morning, checking how he was holding up, which was more than good. Jai told him that he had also made friends with the three beasts that were Alyssa’s pets. They were cool with him after he cooked them lasagna. He didn’t know it would only take a piece of lasagna and they’re all cool with him, especially Hugo. Hugo was very chill after he fed him lasagna, and the huge dog ended up being a bit clingy to Jai. When Jai was playing with Alyssa, Hugo sat right behind Jai and slept, literally snoring, like he had nothing to worry about his own mistress playing with Jai.The blonde looked at him funnily when he shared that piece of story, as he found it actually funny and unbelievable. He knew more than his thunder friend that those beasts don’t act

“Oh yes indeed, Dari honey, I do,” a plump woman said. She was wearing orange long dress with flowery short cape to cover her back, and was holding a shear to care for her flowers.Darrion was immediately by her side. “You do?! Honey Pearlet?! Which tree?!” Darrion asked as he turned around to look at the rows of trees behind them.The Galindale’s household is so larger than the Rovennant by quite a lot. Well, not really that much, but probably by average if Darrion had to compare. Either the mansion, the land around the house, or its back lawn. It looked more like a chateau than a mansion, but without the super large and unnecessary field. Though it looked less grand than a chateau would in the eyes of the royalty, it didn’t seem like that at all to Darrion.The only thing in that blonde’s mind right that time was which one of those trees is the Honey Pearlet.Madam Serena plucked the bad leaves from the purple f

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.
