The Last Thunder 500 – Waiting for the duo
The red fairy had returned to the group in the mushroom canopy. He wished that Darrion and Jai would be able to defeat the demonic snake, because they, as the attendants of Waji, could not do anything other than support.When the fairy returned, he saw three of humans who had been in the battlefield and fighting the snake were now sitting on the ground. They had become pale, signifying that the miasma had taken affect inside their body. Especially the little girl.Rina looked very weak. Beto was hugging her and letting her lean on her for physical support and comfort while Shoru was in the little girl’s arms, providing emotional support. Beto put her chin on Rina’s head and hugged her closer.There was also another light ball, and it was floating around the human soldier who was holding the winged monkey like a baby. Unlike Shoru that seemed alright because her eyes were still looking bright, the monkey was weak. It seemed that the monkey was affected by the miasma too.“Ah… Are they
The Last Thunder 501 – Fake Wounds
With an echo of water drop, they appeared somewhere near the East Military Post.Kasuga instantly recognized the area when he saw the fallen tree bark next to them and the building around fifty meters to their right. Fred, the monkey who was clinging onto him, instantly reached its hand to the building, as if wanting to go there immediately. Kasuga fixed his hold on Fred and rubbed its back softly to calm it down.“Where are we?” Harris asked as he looked around.“Near the post.” Kasuga said.Raul looked around slowly. “Where is… Jai and Darrion…?” Raul asked.“The fairies are healing them.” Kasuga told him.“When can we meet them…?” Rina asked.Kasuga couldn’t answer that, so he looked at the fairies.The yellow fairy smiled at Rina. “They will be given back after they’ve been healed.”Rina looked at Kasuga, who provided her with the translation. “We will meet them again when they’ve rested.”“Oh…” Rina frowned slightly in thought. “Umm… When is it…?”The fairy paused. It looked at i
The Last Thunder 502 – Enjoy while you can
Kiyo and Alex ducked under a red flag and entered the place. “Uncle! I’m hungry!” She announced as she entered.It was an average ramen restaurant. The interior was filled with yellow and light green, with bamboos decorating the walls, also paper lantern like lamps hanging on the wall for lights. But some the lamps were currently off because it’s daylight.“Ah, Kiyo-chan! Don’t yell at the door, you! Come here to the kitchen! You’re in the way!” A man replied from their right.In the right side of the room was the kitchen. It was an open kitchen and the customers could see how their meals are being prepared. There was another door behind the kitchen that the staffs constantly walked in and out of, which was probably the stock room.Counting the female teenager who just walked out of the stock room, there were around five staffs in there. A middle aged man who looked like in his thirty of forty, a younger man who looked like in his twenty, two female teenagers, and a woman.‘That man i
The Last Thunder 503 – Voices of The Unknown
The fairies gave each of them wounds just like they asked, fake wounds, and they checked themselves out to make sure they could make a cover story based on the wounds they got or asked.Harris patted his arm that looked bruised. His raised his eyebrows and looked at the wound strangely as he didn’t feel a thing. “It doesn’t hurt but I can feel it under my fingers.”“Of course. It’s fake wounds after all.” The red fairy chuckled.“If it hurts, we are going to be worried.” The yellow fairy said timidly, patting Rina’s forehead that had a spot that looked a bit swollen. She had asked for a swelling wound on her forehead because her cover story is that she had crashed into a bark with her head.Rina giggled. “It doesn’t hurt, Fairy-san.”“Ah, that’s good to know.” The yellow fairy replied with a cute smile.“Is there anything else we can do to help?” The purple fairy asked.Kasuga shook his head. “There is none from me. Thank you. Do you guys need anything?” Kasuga asked the others.Every
The Last Thunder 504 – Fairy noisy
Jai blinked softly as he looked at the tall figure. His hearing wasn’t wrong, the fairies called that figure Waji. And he could remember the purple ever mentioned Waji as the guardian of the forest, the one who made the ‘no running’ rule.“Greetings, Jai.” The figure waved its twig-like hand at him. Waji’s voice was deep but soft, and masculine like. It was nice to listen to, the typical voice that is usually in a podcast that would accept people’s stories and read it for them for everyone to hear.Jai cleared his throat, although he could still feel his throat a bit hoarse. “H-Hello…” He croaked out.“How are you feeling?” Waji asked.Jai tried feeling his senses and his own body. When he was first conscious, he couldn’t feel them, just his hearing but it was also faint. But he could feel better now for his senses and limbs. Although he was still feeling a bit numb. So he answered the guardian’s question truthfully.“I still feel a bit numb.” Jai said.Waji nodded slightly. “I see. C
The Last Thunder 505 – Resting with Waji
"Let us warm you Jaijai!" The blue fairy said as it glomped Jai's head.Even though the blue fairy was far from warm (it was cool on his head, probably because it has water element proven by their support with the mist before, Jai appreciated the effort. What's warm wasn't their body, but their heart.Jai smiled and said. "Thank you, blue fairy.""You're welcome!" The fairy exclaimed cheerfully, making Jai couldn't help but smile wider."Here, Jai! More drink!" The orange fairy approached him with another cup."Ah, thank you." Jai took the cup from its tiny hands. He was no longer feeling numb, but his body still felt sluggish. After his fourth cup, he was able to move his feet. And he felt like getting up, so he did. He moved to sit at one of the smooth barks, that turned out to be chairs—the fairies’ chairs.He was helped by the fairies to sit at the one closer to the couch, where Darrion was lying at. The blonde was currently being healed by Waji with a big ball of white light and

“Thanks, Uncle! We’re going home now!” Kiyo said as she went to the door.“Yeah. Send my regards to your family.” The man replied without stopping his chopsticks mixing the ramen noodles.Alex hoisted Shitone in his arms. The little girl had fallen asleep after eating, also because Kiyo had taken too long in helping little Kiyoko do her homework.Alex bowed slightly to the counter, responded kindly by the mother of the family with a wave and a sweet smile.“Please come again, big brother!” Said one of the teenage girls whom Alex didn’t remember the name of.He only gave a quick smile before following Kiyo. ‘You know Kiyo and her family, why would I come here again when I can finally escape?’ He thought as he walked to the door.He ducked under the flag of the door and stepped outside.The sky was still clear blue when he came in the restaurant, but now, it had changed into orange. Time does fly when you’re enjoying it. Aside from the joy of not being supervised by those ninjas and hav
The Last Thunder 507 – Looking for air (2)
Kiyo ran and turned left to a busier road, intending to lose Haato who was following her. She was sick of everyone that keeps talking about him. 'Every day is always him. Haato this, Haato that. That he's great at water control and I'm not like him, yada yada... That he's important and he shouldn't be harmed. All of those are bullshit!!' She screamed in her heart. Just once, just once she hoped that everyone would talk about her when she passed. Or, or when she wasn't around but when she sneaked up behind them, they're talking about her. But no! There are no one talking about her! 'It's like I'm not important at all. It's like my presence don't matter. It's like I'm never there when he's there!' Kiyo wiped her tears away as Haato's figure kept replaying in her mind. 'Why is it always about you?!' Alex appeared from the corner. He was also running by now, but it became small steps as this part of the road was busier. Besides, he risked waking up Shitone who was sleeping. But when

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
The Last Thunder 605 – Red meets Red
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
The Last Thunder 603 – Fiery
“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. But
