413 - Waiting
The inside of the mansion was filled with many kinds of furniture. Antique painting decorated the walls, also some wooden sculptures of beasts and human silhouettes. There were also jars with different sizes and various paintings on its surface.
They passed several hallways, with more expensive things displayed which Sen could only drool for. It was something to be envy of, but then again, Sen didn’t expect any less from one of the Guardian clans. They ‘are’ the most successful families in the kingdom, and the ones that control this kingdom. Of course, their home would also be filled with things that fit their status and position.
Seeing the antique looking furniture and paintings in this house eased him a bit from his nervousness he felt before he walked in. He studied art and history in the past, and seeing old paintings like this always calms him down.
But then his eyes then caught the sight of a certain painting that made his breath hitched

Master Fu didn’t need to ask anyone where his guest might be waiting. He knew these halls by heart, and he could almost feel each and every corner of it. He might not be the Chief of the House, but he was still, an elder, and he grew up here.Master Fu walked past The Founder’s painting, already sensing a change of wind from the room in the right. He stopped in front of a room several meters from the painting, and slid the door open.His guest was a young man with high ponytail and pretty face that was sitting calmly behind the coffee table. The young man was looking towards the window, at the garden outside, but upon noticing the door being opened, he turned his attention to the door.“Sen Komatsu,” Master Fu called with a calm tone.The young man immediately stood up and bowed. “This humble person is named Sen Komatsu. I’ve been expecting—”“You don’t speak when I don’t tell you to
The Last Thunder 415 - Call it a day
“Here you are,” Gilbert handed Darrion an envelope. “This is your payment for today.”Darrion smiled as he received his share. “Thanks!”“Jai, these are yours,” Gilbert gave him two envelopes.Jai raised his eyebrows. “Why do I get two?”“The other one is from the kind old lady whom you helped with gardening,” Gilbert smiled.Jai smiled. “Really? It was an accident, really.”Gilbert smiled and nodded. “Yes, Kotori told me. I believe she recognized you too. She gave it to Kotori because she was too shy.”Jai chuckled. “Well, she was nice to give us delicious cookies.”Gilbert chuckled as well. “I’m jealous.”Darrion looked at them back and forth. “What accident?”“Oh. She was trying to put a pot of plant on a hanger. But since the hanger was in mid-air, I mean, it’s h
The Last Thunder 416 - A slight mood swing
The next day turned out to be a holiday."This is the Day of Water, Brother Jai, Brother Darrion. We celebrate element day too in here. Though, the Day of Fire has a more festive celebration than the others," Hinako said while rubbing Shoru's head softly.Jai almost forgot that elements had their own celebration day. Miria had told him some things about this world. Mostly about Aeronvein, as he was currently in Aeronvein, but it was also about other kingdoms as well. Though he didn't know that the Elements Day is celebrated worldwide. He almost wanted to ask that, but Darrion patted him on the shoulder and immediately took over the conversation. "Ah I see... We forgot the date. So the festival near the hot spring is meant for the Day of Light celebrated today?"Hinako nodded profusely. "Mmhm, mmhm! Are you going there? You should go there! The hot spring will be having a discount just for today! Many people will be there!"Jai's imagination suddenly portr
The Last Thunder 417 - Reschedule
Jai and Darrion entered the parlor with the sound of bell."Huh, weird. I don't remember there's bell on the door before," Darrion said when they both looked up at the bell installed above the door."Maybe they had just installed it," Jai muttered. "You okay, Shoru?" Jai asked, poking her head from above the scarf.Jai knew she was surprised by the bell chime because he felt movements on his shoulder. 'She must've hid under my scarf again,' he thought.As Jai checked on Shoru, the two customers who was enjoying their breakfast noticed them entering. One of them even got very surprised that he dropped his spoon into the bowl with a splash.Only Darrion noticed this though, and he could feel sorry for the guy.At the same time, Shoru whined softly, but it was a normal whine and not a distressed one, as she poked her head up and looked at him with wide eyes."It's alright, it's just a bell," Jai smiled, rubbing her head softly with his f
The Last Thunder 418 - Not really but yeah
“Oh, I don’t expect you to ask that this early in the morning,” Gilbert smiled as he checked in letters that had just come in.“It’s not way past early in the morning, Gilbert,” Mika put a batch of letters on the counter and patted Darrion’s shoulder. “Welcome back, little brother! How’s your morning? And Jai too, hello!!”Jai responded with a wave and Darrion grinned at her. “Hiya, sister Mika! Very good! We got to see a beautiful orange bird flying above us today. How about you?”Mika smiled happily. “Oh I also feel great today! I got to see a parade of kindergarteners taking a stroll near my home. They’re all so cute!” Then she saw Shoru on Jai’s shoulder and her eyes sparkled. “They’re cute like you, Shoru-chan!”Shoru looked confused and she instinctively leaned closer to Jai. This action made Mika giggle.“To answer your que
The Last Thunder 419 - Meeting Baji
Jai walked up the stairs of the second floor. He had heard about this Baji from Kotori and she said he was someone nice and welcoming. He expected him to be like what she told him, but he was prepared if he wasn’t.When he reached the second floor and turned around to the manager seat he saw in the previous day. He saw a man writing something on a paper. He had thick, long hair, that was currently tied and thick eyebrows. He was wearing the same brown themed outfit with the others, but he was wearing his pants like a khaki and he was also wearing a pair of dark military boots.The man had big, olive colored eyes which soon came into contact with Jai’s own ocean blue. The man smiled. “Oh, hello. You’re Jai, right?”Jai smiled back. “Yes, I am. You said you wanted to talk to me?”“Yes. I can’t believe they got you so fast. I mentioned you only slightly later than the office’s entry hour,” Baj
The Last Thunder 420 - Another helper
“Forgive me. I was only taking precaution since you didn’t seem to want to ask,” Baji said. This man was cautious of him a second ago, but now, his whole demeanor had changed. He seemed calmer and he was more welcoming.Jai didn’t think that he would do this though. It was the first time they meet after all, and he had already pushed Jai to tell him his real intention visiting this kingdom by just… What? A single lie?“Did you tell from my lie about the hunt?” Jai asked.Baji nodded. “And Gilbert’s assessment on you. As I said, it’s weird that Carrola mentioned you by name and asked us to protect you. We’re just windlets here, boy. If he wants someone to protect you, he should’ve asked someone from the Adventurer Guild, not us. But since you also don’t know why, maybe he was just worried for the two of you.” The man smiled.Jai thought that made sense. Whenever he was tog
The Last Thunder 421 - On the way to the café
Jai and Darrion hung around the place for a short while. Shoru was being fussy that Jai left her, so they were trying to make her calm down.She instantly hid under Jai's scarf when he held her again, and she didn't want to go anywhere. Even if Jai pulled her down, she would be noisy and insisted on hiding there. So he stopped trying.Since they weren't in a hurry, Darrion managed to squeeze in some mail delivery with Raul while Jai helped with listing the letters that checked in. It was an ordinary morning compared to yesterday. There was no robbery or anything. They were short staffed because four of them had to help in the celebration day, but nothing they couldn't handle. And with Darrion helping them around the neighborhood, they could manage just fine.They left an hour before the clock strikes mid day. Jai didn't think Shoru would appreciate the dash after her scare, so he insisted they walk to the café rather than dashing there with Darrion's wind
