431 - A Visit
Two days later, in the morning.
“Come on Kiyo-chan. Do it again. The flowers can cry seeing your water display.” An elderly woman in orange yukata said calmly.
A girl in front of her, probably in her late teen, huffed. Sweats rolling down her face and her training clothes ruffled. “But I’m tired, grandma.”
The elderly woman waved her index finger. “No, no, no. It’s only half an hour. Come on, young lady. The Komatsu girls must be strong.”
Kiyo, the girl, sighed and rolled her eyes. “But the men are the ones usually out for a hunt. Not the girls.”
“And you just want to let the patriarchs take control of this family more than they have? No. I will not have it in my family. By being strong, you can stand up to men and prove them that women can also kick some ass.” The old lady said confidently.
Kiyo’s lips twitched downward, unamused. “Don’t men love meek

The group of four walked in the hallway of the Komatsu residence and stopped at a certain door.Rio knocked on the door softly. She faked a cough and called. “Haato-kun, it’s me Grandma Rio. I’m coming in.” Then she opened the door. But there was no one in the room.“He’s not here.” Rio said.“Then where is he?” Fu asked.Both of them looked at the only young man in the group. “Sen? Where’s Haato-kun?” Rio asked.Sen the in-law blinked a couple times before he stuttered. “He umm—Uhh, lately, Ishida-san has been coming over and asked about him a lot. She came here today, m-maybe she took him with her?”The three elderly stared at him. “Okay. But where?” Fu asked. “I don’t know who this Ishida-san is. You might want to—”“Oh Ishi-chan likes to bake. Maybe she brought him to the kitchen. Why don’t we g

A couple of days later…A female windlet happily jogged to the village of Letush in the morning. The sun was already up by this time, so it was not early morning.She greeted the villager guarding the gate as she entered and the villager waved back at her like they knew each other.She let her feet drag her among the village’s street. She stopped by the houses to deliver letters to the villagers and to wish them a good day. At one point, she stopped by a house near a well and she took her time to wait as the resident struggled to open the door.When it was finally opened, a girl with amber hair and beautiful green eyes appeared. She was wearing an apron and looking a bit sweaty. “Yes?”The female windlet realized why she took some time to open the door, and she apologized. “Sorry for interrupting your cooking time, miss, but I’m here to deliver some letters!”The girl giggled and opened the door a b
The Last Thunder 434 - Visiting Claude
Jai and Darrion sat on the hospital’s waiting room while reading newspaper each.Another good thing about this kingdom was that it has two main languages after the war. So there were some papers that used universal language for their texts. That really helped Darrion because he could still keep up with some updates while Jai read the ones with Shouha language. As what they did before, they exchanged the information, and keep in mind whether there might be some places they need to go and check.Shoru was also with them, lying calmly on her side on Jai’s lap and just chilling. She was looking at people, and the nurses that walked by with their own business.They were waiting for Claude’s doctor to come out and give them the news. But it’s been fifteen minutes and the doctor was nowhere to be seen.Jai lowered the newspaper and put it aside. He adjusted his scarf as it was slightly lowered, and looked around. “Where the heck is
The Last Thunder 435 – Baji's Assistant
Shoru sniffed the paper in front of her and instantly recoiled. She moved her bottom and took two steps backwards. She then rubbed her nose as if she had just smelled something unpleasant.A giggle was heard beside the pup, and then Mika'w voice is heard, asking, "What's wrong, Shoru-chan? You don't like the smell of glue?"Shoru chuffed and whined, but Mika giggled some more. Whatever Shoru did, it was always adorable.Next to Mika was Jai. This time, Jai did not help Mika sort out the letters, but he was replacing Arata. Since Arata was given a new assignment, someone had to pitch in his seat to help ease his workload. It had only been two days, but Jai was already used to it.The entrance door opened and came in Baji. He looked a bit exhausted, showed by the dark circles under his eyes. But he pulled his shoulder length hair into a short ponytail to make his appearance still look presentable."Jai, help me out sorting this." Baji passed by him a
The Last Thunder 436 – Just a boy
Haku took a rag and wiped the dishes that he had just cleaned. Hanabi came into the backroom with more dirty dishes and put them in the sink in front of him.“Haku. Why are you still here?” Hanabi asked.“I havent’ dried the dishes…” Haku said, putting the dried plate beside the rack and taking another wet plate.“Oh it’s fine. Let them dry by their own. Isn’t Jai waiting for you at the inn?” She asked while moving around to prepare new orders.Haku put the plate on top of the first one. “He said to meet at 3PM.”At that, both Hanabi and Haku looked at the cuckoo clock above the door. It was fifteen minutes to 3PM.“I have a few minutes.” He smiled at his grandmother.“Oh well… They didn’t come over for lunch. Have they had lunch, I wonder? Should I prepare lunch for them?” Hanabi asked, pausing her chopping to ask her grandso

Jai threw a punch to Haku’s face, but Haku managed to dodge it to the right. The little guy immediately took Jai’s hand and pulled it over his shoulder, and just pulled.Jai frowned as he let the little guy pulled him. “What are you doing?”Haku grunted as he tried to pull Jai, but he stopped when Jai asked that question. “I’m… Trying to pull you over my shoulder and throwing you forward.”Jai patted his back and easily pulled himself off. “No, no. You don’t do that with someone much bigger than you.”Haku turned around to look at him. The little guy looked like he didn’t know what to do. “Uhh… So how do I fight people as big as you?”“To fight people bigger than you, use your agility and wit. Don’t use physical strength, because they will easily overpower you. Your strategy is to wear them down. Make them tired.” Jai suggested.&ldq
The Last Thunder 438 - Crumpets
A few days earlier.A middle aged man ran to the guard post in the southwest district in hurry. His breath was heavy and his skin glistened with sweats. His pale red hair bobbled as he ran, becoming messier as he worked his way around to avoid bumping into people.He reached the guard post soon and immediately asked the stationed guard. “H-Hello… Can I ask for Officer Torfo?”The guard in charge, a young man probably in his twenties, replied with a question. “Are you his relative? Is this an emergency?”The man with pale red hair could only nod as he tried regaining his breath. The guard noticed that it looked like something important, so he asked the other guard who was standing near to call for the mentioned guard.“Please sit down, sir. And let me get you some water.” The guard in charge of the lobby took a cup and filled it with the water from the jug in the counter. “What could possibly be the p
The Last Thunder 439 - Being humble
Jai might not be as frustrated as Darrion, but the feeling was there. That’s why he left after dinner to get some air and cool his head. Darrion did the same. They went to different directions though. Jai went to the hospital to visit Claude while Darrion went elsewhere. Little Shoru came with him, hiding inside his scarf as usual. The little puppy licked Jai’s cheek carefully. Earning no reaction from him, she whined. Jai sighed silently and reached to her, rubbing her softly on the head with his index finger. “I’m just sulking a little bit. I’m alright.” Shoru nuzzled her snout to his cheek to return the affection. Jai walked to the A wing and made his way through the hallways and up to Claude’s room. Doctor Inoha had brought him to Claude’s new room, which was in the VIP section in the next floor, and Jai still remembered the way. He didn’t forget to write in the guest list though, earning some handwaves and friendly callings from th
