359 - Meeting the Aikawa
Risa led the two guys to the residential area in the eastern side of the village. This area was the housing for the native villagers, and at this time in the afternoon, there were quite many children playing around with their friends.
Since Jai’s fame reached Takenoko and his face was actually recognizable by Risa, Jai had adjusted his scarf to cover more of his face ever since she led them from the western district. It surprised him that none of the people here recognized his face like Risa did, as she had said that he was quite famous in the papers. But it wasn’t something he would want at the current situation. It would be better if no one noticed them at all, because losing a crowd of people would waste more of their time.
They had finally found potential person who knew Alex’s whereabouts or conditions, they would not waste this chance.
About covering his face, he had actually been doing it ever since they reached Sougen. He always covers

The Last Thunder 360 - About Alex
A few moments later, the tea and snacks were served and the three Aikawa children had joined the two guests in the living room. Yes, even Nawaki was brought along since the two girls had seen whom the two guys were and didn’t think they were dangerous. Winners of an international competition shouldn’t be bad guys, right? And they also didn’t look like criminals. Moreover, Nawaki seemed to be fond of Jai. Or, rather, his scarf. The baby immediately reached out to him when he saw him, and when Aya let him take the baby, the little one immediately took hold of his scarf and giggled in joy. He had found a new toy.“I’m sorry for my sister’s behavior,” Risa said apologectially.“Nee-chan… I can apologize myself,” Aya protested lightly.Jai and Darrion found this to be funny and both of them smiled at the two. “It’s alright.”“Well, my sister said that she went to find you and
The Last Thunder 361 - The Truth
Jai asked about Alex’s expression to Risa to figure out why Alex didn’t run away instead of going to the capital. If one would see it, there is a possibility that this family was an accomplice to the kidnapping, and they were just acting all goody woody with them just to kill them later. But when Jai took a gander look again, Risa and Aya didn’t seem like they knew anything about it. If they knew, they wouldn’t have invited them here and instead, staying silent.‘Whatever the reason is, he’s still kidnapped by this Hayate guy and his two other people. Since they’re going to the capital this morning, we should just start going as well to cut the time short,’ Jai thought. He looked up at Risa. “So he left this morning with Hayate-san and his two other friends?”Risa smiled and nodded. “Yes. Maybe you can go to his family in the capital. He should be in a safe place right now.”Jai smiled back,
The Last Thunder 362 - To the capital
The living room went quiet after that, with only Risa’s sobs filling the room. The thought of helping a criminal seemed to be unbearable for this girl, because she wouldn’t have cried like that if it didn’t bother her too much.Seeing her cry like this, Darrion felt bad. A girl cried because of them. And he hesitated in speaking more in fear it would make her cry more. He leaned closer to his friend.“Should we leave now?” Darrion whispered to Jai.Jai looked pity at Risa who was still hugged by her clueless sister. Even with Jai saying that, she still didn’t understand the situation. Moreover, her sister suddenly started crying. It confused her.Jai gestured Darrion to be quiet as he tried to think of what they should do. The baby in his arms had gone quiet when he saw his sister crying, understanding something was wrong but obviously didn’t know what. He looked up at Jai. “Isa ite?”Jai rubbed
The Last Thunder 363 - A new obstacle
There were many sounds in the forest starting from cicadas ringing, birds chirping, leaves rustlings, and don’t forget the growls and hums of monsters living inside it. Jai was used to these sounds already when he was in Deleima and Heruba’s forests, although those forest weren’t as lively as this one that they were passing.There was a rustle right above them and they could see a big snake slithering around the bark of one of the big trees in there. The snake’s head was nowhere to be seen, but since it was slithering up, they figured it would be up there. The two of them shared a look before nodding together and moving without any sound. It seemed like they were telepathically connected about not wanting to alert the big snake with their presence. If it’s safe, it’s them. But they also needed to be fast, which was something that was not applicable right now.The forest floor was full of dried leaves, which would make it noisier if t
The Last Thunder 364 - Finding a mount
Jai was in a good mood after knowing Alex’s condition. Although Alex was still kidnapped, the news about Alex ever visited Takenoko was better. It confirmed the assumption of the ones worrying about him that he was indeed taken in this direction. And now, was currently taken towards the capital.It’s good news. A lead. Especially when he heard that Alex left this morning. It was in the afternoon right now, so they wouldn’t have so much distance to cover as long as they hurry now. He had hoped to catch up to the kidnappers immediately, probably right at the capital’s gate and immediately snatch any redheads in their way.But even after walking for only God knows how long, there’s nothing but barks of trees, fallen trees, and bushes. He didn’t see any signs that shows they’re close to the capital, and this aggravated him up to a degree.“I regret not taking you up on the offer to fly,” Jai suddenly broke the si
The Last Thunder 365 - Incoming trouble
Darrion led the both of them to a small stream where a bird monster was currently drinking from. The bird looked like an ostrich, but it was brown, bigger and seemed more powerful than an ostrich. Unlike ostrich that usually tuck their wings, this monster’s wings were opened to the side and it could be seen how long the pair of it was. But due to its long legs and big claws, none of the boys think this bird monster would use those wings to fly.“It’s kinda similar to that mascot from a certain game. But that one’s golden yellow while this one’s dirty brown,” Jai muttered after they hid behind a tree nearby.Darrion hummed. “Hmm… But I don’t see this one to be the same bird monster as the one used for the race’s icon.”“Huh?” Jai looked at him in confusion.“You’re talking about the annual race in Fire Kingdom right?” Darrion asked.Jai blinked several t
The Last Thunder 366 - Bird taming gone wrong
The Waamutori was enjoying its time by the bank, looking at the fishes swimming in the riverflow. It snapped its long beak into the water, hoping to catch at least one of them for a snack. But sadly, nothing entered its beak other than water, pieces of water grass, and mud. But it didn’t stop trying. This is what humans should have done with most of their lives rather than just sitting around thinking why everything never works out.Jai and Darrion was communicating through their eyes as they approached the bird from different directions. Jai had to wait for Darrion to be halfway away from him before stepping out from behind the tree. He knew how wind could become a giveaway of location, and he believed his friend was also trying his best to keep the wind at bay, so he was not going to mess that.‘I still don’t know what kind of movements that are forbidden in this forest. Is it only running or sudden movements are included? But I hope that won’
The Last Thunder 367 - Run away!
It surprised Claude that something was sneaking under his radar and when he finally noticed it, it was already too late to give the boys any signs. The horrifying hound was so fast that he only managed to see it when that wolf leaped right under him when he was leaning on a branch, overseeing his two babies. Fortunately, one of them had managed to run away with that bird monster, but unfortunately, the other one and the one whom he should be protecting, was currently running for his dear life.Claude cursed under his breath and flew ahead, dodging from one tree to another as he tried to keep up with Jai. He knew he would risk himself being trapped by the forest’s rule, but he had no other option if the one he should be protecting was in danger.‘What kind of wolf beast is that? How come I can’t sense it coming?’ Claude wondered furiously.Nothing had ever went past without him knowing. If that wolf can bypass his radar, then that means it&r
