376 - Settling Down
Jai and Darrion left the hospital eagerly. Outside of the medical place, their heads immediately looked around to take in the sight and decide what their next step would be.
“So… The doctor and the guard said that this place is Shouha. Yet I heard that it’s Pyre… something kingdom. Which one is true?” Jai asked.
“Both are true. Shouha no Kuni is what they were originally called, meaning the country of Dried Leaves. The Pyreblair Kingdom is the new name given by the Central Region after the war to make their name more universal in the other kingdom’s tongue,” Darrion explained, still looking around.
“Why?” Jai asked.
“Because their language is the different one. But after a prompting in the peace treaty as the losing side, they have to abide the new rule where they have to make the universal language their main language. So everyone here, mostly, now can speak the language we speak every d

Darrion led the both of them to a road eight hundred meters away to the north of the hospital. It was a Y crossing and there were many stores opening up here. There was a restaurant, a tea shop, several clothing stores, and others, possibly also a snack shop.“Oh my, I feel the business and busy-ness of this place. It was like walking to the marketplace but it’s a passing road and not situated as marketplace,” Jai commented on the situation.Darrion’s eyes scanned the place to look for the inn he knew from his information gathering back in Aeronvein, and saw a big maroon building with white walls as its outer wall and circle shaped wooden door. There were two people standing guard outside of the circle wooden door, but they weren’t wearing the same guard outfit like the guards back at the forest’s border. He instantly regarded them as not the official military guards.“So, where are we going next?” Jai asked.
The Last Thunder 378 - Short rest at the inn
“Hey Jai,” Darrion called when they were unpacking. The blonde had yet to start unpacking because he was more interested in the room interior.“Hm?” Jai replied.Like ordinary Japanese house, this inn was also Japanese styled which means it has no bed. There were only futons here, and Jai knew they were stored in the wardrobe in this room which was the double doors that was across from the shelf in the left wall. There was another double door across from the door that led to their room, and this was surely the one that leads to the garden where the pond would be.Jai recognized this setting due to the many Japanese animation that he had watched in the past, but the same could not be said to Darrion. And that was why the windlet was kind of confused when he entered the room and noticing no bed in sight.“There’s no bed in here. Where are we going to sleep? And didn’t we order two rooms?” Darrion asked. He loo
The Last Thunder 379 - Just five minutes
Jai and Darrion sat around the coffee table near the garden as they continued their talk. They had put away their clothes in the drawer by now, and they kept their bags inside the small closet where the futons are kept.“What did Erietta say?” Jai moved to open the door beside them so they could get a refreshing view of the pond while they were talking.This gave Claude an opportunity to listen in on their conversation from behind the hotel’s outer wall. He was leaning leisurely outside, in the street, munching on a freshly baked sweet potato he bought a few minutes before from an old man who had just passed by him with a crate full of baked sweet potatoes.Following them for these past days had made him realize the guys’ real reason of taking the journey. He had heard it from their conversation these few days, and he had to admit that they were doing a noble thing for a distraught old man.Yes, even Claude caught the name of the d
The Last Thunder 380 - Yuri-Matsuri Inn
As Darrion took his nap, Jai went to the lobby. He met with the guy, Dai, and the girl, Hina, at the receptionist’s desk who seemed to discuss something about food. Hina immediately noticed him when he appeared from the hallway, and she immediately jumped from the desk.“Are you really Jai from the Wind Kingdom?!” she appeared in front of him, slightly startling him.“Hina-chan!!” Dai immediately ran over and pulled her. But she struggled against him and stood where she was, looking at Jai with determined eyes.“You’re Jai Waetford, right?! The third winner of the Wind Kingdom’s tournament?!” Hina asked energetically.Jai smiled and nodded. “Yes, I am,” he answered.Hina stared at him with wide eyes as she also gasped. “You are? T-Then that blonde guy from before is… Darrion, also the winner from the tournament?”Jai nodded and Hina seemed to brightened up v
The Last Thunder 381 - Grandpa Honey Potato
The orange light of the late afternoon shone from the right side as Jai let his feet strolled by the dirt road outside of the inn compound. He had started calling it that way because he didn’t know what that neighbourhood was called. And compound because he felt like it.He didn’t think it would be this late when he came out. It was almost dusk by now, and just in half an hour, or maybe a full hour later, the moons would replace the sun. He was slightly disappointed that he couldn’t search for Alex full time today, as he had just arrived.But he would enjoy this short free time while he could, because after this, he felt like he wouldn’t be able to enjoy his time again.He didn’t know why he felt that way, he just did. When he passed by an old woman walking with a cane, he remembered that granny who brought them here. The old lady whom he passed wasn’t the same, but he kind of want to meet her again because she seemed a very n
The Last Thunder 382 - Afternoon Snack
“Aah…” Darrion exhaled satisfyingly. “This tea is very nice~” he muttered lovingly, looking at the wooden cup in his hand that was filled with steamy dark lime colored water. “It’s not as sweet as mom’s blue tea, but this taste is very nice to clean my palate from the bean bread… What did that guy said this tea is again?”He was enjoying his nap when he heard shufflings in the room. He instantly opened his eyes to catch Daisuke putting a tray of tea on the coffee table he was lying under. The guy apologized for waking him up, but he let it slide especially after he saw some complimentary snacks beside the teapot.He immediately helped himself to the complimentary drinks and food, and glad that the flavor was quite a match to his taste. Firstly, he ate the bread stuffed with sweet bean paste, which he loved immediately. He finished that before pouring himself a cup of tea from the teapot. He was quite curious
The Last Thunder 383 - Consideration
Claude followed them walking to the entrance of that neighborhood since he had overheard the duo would be going out tonight.He wished they would settle down as he too, needed the rest. He hardly had enough sleep these days of following them because he was supposed to keep watch, so when the duo was asleep, he took that time to slip in an hour or an hour and a half of sleep. Never more than that because again, he had to keep watch.But he sensed he would get at least three hours of sleep tonight. So he held the sleepiness in and continued with the babysitting.Jai and Darrion walked to the left after leaving the neighborhood. This was another busy road, but it wasn’t as crowded as the right side of the road where the red hotel was. Jai remembered what the old man had told him about that bakery and café, so he brought Darrion to go there. His instinct told him that where there’s café, there should be plenty of people walking around the a
The Last Thunder 384 - Red Ice Parlor
The restaurant was a little bit far from the intersection. They were going to the right, and then followed the way until they met a Y crossing. This part of town was less busy than the one where the red hotel was. There were shops selling different things here.There was a toy store, a small boutique or dress shop, a shop that sells plumbering tools like pipes and other things. There was also a water shop and they displayed a line of jugs in their wooden terrace. Some people were lining up to buy water with jugs in a cart or even bringing other sorts of water container, which confused Jai why they would need to buy water too here. So he asked Darrion about it.“Oh yeah, in some parts of the town, the water is not from uhh, the pipe. So people come to buy water, and they store it in jugs. Aeronvein does that too you know? In the outskirts, and south eastern market districts,” Darrion answered.“Oh we do?” Darrion nodded. “Hmm…
