The Last Thunder 537 – Morning pep talk
The fact that the ‘pawn’ of the stabbing died unexpectedly (surely he’s killed, there’s no other way around it), had crushed Jai’s hope in obtaining a lead. He was the targeted person, not Claude, and he had thought to get to the bottom of this when the case was brought up after he came back to Shouha.Working on this case is not only to satiate his curiosity, but also the justice for Claude since he took the strike in Jai’s place. Even though it wasn’t a very complex poison and still treatable, the kind hunter almost loses his life, which made it a bit hard for Jai to let the case go just like that. But he knew he had to tell Claude, he was just not ready to share the bad news since he thought that he needed to give another solution to deal with the situation.Darrion had told him to tell Claude however it is, just come clean, but Jai didn’t listen to him the first time.“But it’s the truth. What else can we do? It’s not our fault the man got killed.” Darrion replied.“No, it’s not o

When they went to the hospital, Doctor Inoha and Doctor Nekoba were already there in front of Claude’s door. They seemed to be discussing something on a chart Doctor Inoha was holding.“I think that Doctor Sadame, we can give him 45mg of Haruki extract that is exposed to night air for a month. That will press the X factor to a minimum, but since Haruki extract is mild, like water would, it’s better to put it last… Don’t you think so?” Doctor Inoha asked.Doctor Nekoba nodded her head. “Yes… And probably, to gather the rest of the toxins which I think has been reduced significantly from the last medication, how about Grilled Black Snake pill, twice a day for day and night consumption?”“But he’s not suffering any diarrhea and it’s too thick for his current condition. I don’t think it’s necessary even if there’s no side effect.” Doctor Inoha noted.Doctor Nekoba smiled. “It’s not necessarily only for diarrhea, but for toxins in the stomach too. But maybe you’re right, it is too thick. I
The Last Thunder 539 – Bland puffs
Doctor Nekoba entered Claude’s room an hour after his visitors had left. Since Doctor Inoha was preparing the prescription for his next treatment phase, Doctor Nekoba would be monitoring him. It was after meal after all, the doctor needed to get his condition.‘He should be sleeping now, just like usual.’ The doctor thought as she made her way to the room. The secret royal guard didn’t really like her presence. She was too talkative for him, even regarding her as similar to ‘a nagging auntie’ and even calling her that once.But Sadame Nekoba isn’t someone who would feel insulted of such nicknames. Instead, she used it to her advantage and kept ‘nagging’ on the certain patient. She didn’t bother him with words a real nagging auntie Besides, he never asked her to leave, which further concludes that he didn’t actually hate her presence either. So she enjoyed her time there, sharing about her research, even though the royal guard might not understand her at all. At least, it helps him sle
The Last Thunder 540 – Sneaky Gil
The Chief of Southeast Windlet Post Office sat quietly in his seat as he read the post office’s log for the past week. His lips crept into a small smile when he saw the content.“He is really meticulous. Guiding Jai to help with the case is a risky but excellent idea. It brings the windlet agency fortune, fame, and more annoying people asking for collaboration.” Baji sighed as he put the report down. “An even smaller hole for the wind to go for now. How do I solve this newest problem now…? And Jai’s stabbing incident had not been finished yet.”The man sighed again. He leaned his back on the seat and starred at the piles of unopened scrolls on his desk. “So many information…” He whispered to himself. He sighed again and let the wind blows. A reply came back almost immediately, telling him that the two temporary windlets were downstairs.‘They finally come to work today. That news shocked him. He must’ve wanted to hear from the perpetrator’s own mouth. How should I approach him today?’
The Last Thunder 541 – Learn, to understand
Jai lowered the confession document.“Have you finished reading it?” Gilbert asked, sipping on his own tea.Jai nodded slowly. The look on his face was unreadable, but the two older men in the room knew exactly that he was slowly coming to the conclusion.Baji put his teacup on the desk and looked at Jai. “So… Do you want to keep on with the case?”Jai stared back at him. Then he glanced at the document in his hand, recalling what he had read.The content wasn’t something saddening nor devastating. It was just… Somehow expected.The dead man was just doing what he was paid to do. Someone strange in black robe paid him to stab Jai with the knife. He was helpless and couldn’t think of other way to survive, so he accepted to do it. Besides, the person promised to help him get out of prison if he, somehow, end up being there. So he had less concerns and more confidence in carrying out the evil request.The person told him that Jai would be around in the café that day, so he went there and
The Last Thunder 542 – The Meaning of Scar
Shoru climbed the stairs of the windlet post office carefully. She had seen Jai going to the second floor and he had not gone back down yet. The windlet that is full of energy, the one with brown hair and likes to move around so much, had come back with paper bags full of food. She realized then that it was the time for lunch, and she wanted Jai to get one too.When she finally reached the second floor, she saw a pair of dark shoes in front of her. Then the familiar voice of the one she remembered as Gilbert, echoed above her. “Oh, Shoru-chan.”Shoru looked up at him as he knelt down. “It’s dangerous to climb the stairs alone, you know?”She didn’t answer and only looked at him. This man was always smiling. Sometimes he is smiling fine, while other times, he is smiling mysteriously. But right now, he was only calmly smiling and it was genuine. Shoru understood something about this human after spending some time in the post office. When people come to use their service (Jai was always
The Last Thunder 543 – The Teams
"So all we have to do is find this Kizuato group!" Darrion nodded confidently. Then he yelled shortly as he was blown slightly to the side."Don't say it like it's easy." Baji said. "You know how long it takes Arata to find that information. This one is also going to be tricky."Darrion stepped back to his position before. "Hey! We need positivity!"Baji stared at the bundle of yellow with flat eyes. Then he said. "Well said. I have news though. Arata wouldn't be helping you for a while. So how are you going to get more information?"Darrion looked startled. "What? Then what are we going to do? I've never been to the underground network before. Those are my seniors' specialty. I've only been to the 'gate' and I watch over the exchange. But that's it!"Jai shook his head. "It's not necessary, Darrion. We can do it ourselves. Besides, we have been too laid back in this case. We burdened Arata with what should've been our own responsibility.""But it's impossible to go down there and sea
The Last Thunder 544 – Making up for cancelled session
The windlet chief didn’t give them clues on what Darrion will be assigned to. But he said that he would inform at least Darrion. When that was done, the two left the second floor.Jai then got a letter from the none other than Akamine. While yes, he also got letters from his fans, and also the girl, Hotaru Bukubukucha.As Jai read her name on the envelope, he wondered whether he should ‘expand’ his connection to the Bukubukucha clan. If his memory is correct, the Bukubukucha is among the Ten Guardian Families of Pyreblair Kingdom. One of the Founders. Maybe their family is connected to the missing Alex? It’s not impossible, but at this point, since anyone can be the suspect, he didn’t want to assume carelessly.The letter from the Akamine brothers are the other interesting one. He had not been able to be in contact with them ever since the first training. He felt bad because it seems like he was hanging up on them. It wasn’t his intention to be taking that long to recuperate. He hoped
