“May I have your name, please~?” Asked the nurse with a high-pitch voice. Her voice reminded Jai of the animated characters back then in his previous world. It was high-pitched and adorable. The nurse was also timid and friendly. She was smiling sweetly to Jai, showing the dimples on both of her slightly chubby cheeks that were currently colored by faint, rosy blush.He didn’t have his scarf lowered like he usually does in the hospital, but it seems like the people there already recognize him. Because the nurses in the receptionist were all smiling at him. He didn’t think that saying his name would matter or not, but he said it anyway. “Jai Waetford.”The nurse who was servicing him wrote his name down in the form. She then gave Jai the pen and pointed to the small box at the end of the paper. “Please sign here, Waetford-san.”Jai checked the fillings in the form, when he was sure the data is correct, he took the pen and gave his signature. “How long would the check up take?”“It’s on
They paid for Darrion’s check-up and medicines before going back into the A wing. This time, they went to the second floor, because Doctor Inoha didn’t say anything about Claude’s room being moved. After checking in with the registry’s desk for the visit, they went to Claude’s room. However, there was a person who was already there.It was a female doctor. Her medium dark hair was pulled into a bun, tied with a hairstick with a single green jade ornament. Her eyes are dark green and slightly slanted, but in an elegant way, and with the eyelids touched with thin eyeliner, it made her look beautiful. Her lips that were touched by peach are thin, and she was smiling in a slight smirk.She was wearing a dark green blouse with frills on the collars underneath her doctor coat. From the waist down, she was wearing a long dark pants that fit her, and dark formal shoes.Jai recognized this doctor. She was the one who approached them in the last visit when they were waiting for Doctor Inoha to
“And that sums all, I think…” Darrion said, finishing the story.“Ah so did you guys meet the fairy again to help with the problem? You were running, right? You should be chased by the fairy too and received punishment, just like before.” Claude said.Jai and Darrion immediately looked at each other. The same question was asked inside both of their heads at the same time: ‘How come Claude remembers about the fairy?’‘Didn’t Waji said that no one will be able to remember them unless it’s a blessed person?’ Jai asked to himself. He heard about it, Waji said it himself that there people who are worthy of remembering them and not. ‘If Claude was able to remember he ever met a fairy, then does it mean that he’s blessed?’“Claude. Do you remember the fairies?” Darrion asked.Claude nodded. “Yes.”Jai and Darrion glanced at each other briefly. They didn’t have any telepathic abilities with each other, but both of them had a thought to confirm Claude’s memory of the fairy to make sure if the
They entered the post-office and a gasp suddenly filled the room. It was Kotori who gasped.She was standing by the counter in the lobby as she pointed at Darrion. “You’re still alive!” Darrion frowned, confused more than hurt. “Whatever do you mean by that?”“I heard from Chief that you’re sick after eating the Guild’s chicken wing! And I remember you can’t eat spicy foods. I thought…” Kotori pouted, but everyone could see that it was faked, especially with how she was talking.“I don’t like spicy foods. It’s not that I can’t eat it.” Darrion replied.“But you don’t like it because you can’t eat it. That can’t be wrong, right?” Kotori asked.“Not really… Sometimes people can’t eat some foods, but they still do anyway.” Jai said. Darrion pointed to him while smiling at Kotori, agreeing with his words.Kotori narrowed her eyes slightly and leaned her body forward. “Reallly~?”“Really~” Jai nodded.“Why?” Kotori asked.She didn’t look like she was genuinely asking him, she was only tau
The next day went by pretty much like usual. Jai woke up first and did some exercise while Darrion woke up after and played with Shoru. They had breakfast in the inn and after bidding Hinako and Daisuke goodbye, they went to the post office.Jai needed an advice about the stabbing incident, and he planned on asking either Baji or Gilbert cause he really didn’t know how to handle it. He didn’t know what kind of law it is that goes here, and he needed to know if he should just shut up or really talk. And if he should talk, what should he say.“Do you need a lawyer?” Baji immediately asked when Jai finished relaying his concern.Jai was slightly taken aback since he didn’t expect that he would need a lawyer at all. And he responded with a question. “Do I need a lawyer?”“Do you want to press charges?” Baji asked.“Isn’t that up to Claude? I mean, the victim?” Jai asked.Baji nodded. “It’s up to the both of you. The perpetrator was targeting you, but he hurt someone else. That could get h
A beautiful woman walked the hallway of the royal palace with grace. She was wearing a dark red dress that was a combination of kimono and robe—similar to ancient Japanese royal dress, but it had more seams and the beautiful embroidery, the theme of rose, embedded on the fabric could very well make this dress a national treasure decades after.Not only that, on her forehead, there’s a beautiful tiara carved from gold with a tear shaped jewel in the middle. That was her crown. The sign that she’s someone important.Surely, ordinary women wouldn’t have the privilege to wear these kinds of robes, they could only dream of even touching it. Yes, she is not an ordinary woman. She is the current ruler of Fire Kingdom, Her Majesty, the Queen.Her hands, covered by the beautiful layers of her gown sleeves, were clasped neatly in front of her stomach. Her eyes, dark as a starless night, fazed calmly in front of her as she strode forward with grace.A man in dark red outfit, close to maroon, wal
Haku swept the floor silently as the noisiness of the parlor surrounded him. It was a busy day as usual, but the lunch hour had passed and so did the rush. It was already in the afternoon now, almost dusk, and there were only a few tables occupied.He was preparing himself for the dinner rush that would start in about two hours. But for some reason, he wasn’t feeling that spirited.He stopped sweeping for a while and looked towards the counter. There was no one minding it because he was sweeping the floor near the entrance. His grandmother was in the back, also preparing for dinner rush. But… He was looking more to the back room doorway, and his mind was occupied by the brothers who were currently in the back room.The two had entered the parlor with low spirit. They didn’t smile that bright when Haku greeted them at the entrance, and that was enough sign to know something was wrong. He didn’t know what it is though, and he didn’t know if he should ask.The boy earned a pat on the hea
Arata skipped his steps passed the southern neighbourhood. He was tasked to deliver the suspended letters from Higurashi. Higurashi might only be a village, but it was also a transit place. Many people from the Northeast sometimes send their letters to the post office in Higurashi because of its closer distance to the capital. Which was why there were… Abundant of it.The spiky haired young man stopped in front of a crossing. The road was a bit busier than the middle of the day because there were many people coming home, or departing for their work. It is almost like early in the morning, but it is busier because there were more shifts in the day rather than at night. Humans aren’t nocturnal creatures after all, most activities happen in the day.As the dark orange hue smeared in the sky behind him, Arata waited until the sign appeared for them to cross. In almost every road in Shouha, there was this lamp post with three small and round signs with different colors: Red, Yellow, and Pu
