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
The Last Thunder 545 – Patient blonde
Baji had told them that they would be given new task for each of them. Jai’s task had been given right that day, and he started working on it the day after. However, Darrion’s task was still unclear, and that made the young windlet anxious.“Jai, you can start tomorrow. Ask Gilbert the details, he will tell you what to do.” Baji told Jai. Then he turned to Darrion. “We will wait until the weekend for yours. Just stay around.”“Umm… So I just wait?” Darrion asked with a confused look. Baji nodded. “That’s it?” The man nodded again. The young windlet was still curious and confused, but he would endure it. After all, how bad is it to wait for several days?He took his words back. Staying around with no idea what to do is just SO BORING. He thought when the windlet chief said to ‘stay around’, he was still permitted to go with the others to deliver letters. He usually tags along with Saburo, Raul, Kotori, and mostly with Harris. It was so he could remember the ways around. It was hard for
The Last Thunder 546 – Flowers To Say
The next weekend rolled in soon, and Darrion was finally given a task by the windlet chief. Although, Jai wasn’t able to accompany him to the post office, because the Akamine requested that this weekend was the day that Ruta’s next session should be. Although Jai wasn’t able to accompany him to the office, Jai went to the Red Manor Hotel area with him. After bidding each other good luck, they both separated.Shoru ducked her head back after she barked a ‘See you later!’ to Darrion, and Jai fixed his scarf back. He still needed to cover his face. This particular area is very busy, and he would be uncomfortable with many attentions. He glanced briefly at the famous hotel. The meeting with Akaito Fuuji flashed through his mind.‘I don’t know why. But I feel that the guy isn’t what he looks like…’ He thought. There was just something, although he didn’t know where it came from nor why. But he ignored it because he feared his feeling might be wrong.Leaving the hotel area, he went to the h
The Last Thunder 547 – What compound is
The Waka bird wasn’t going very fast like how Jai would think it would. Since his friends at the windlet post office bragged about this bird being one of the beasts that can run fast, he was expecting both edge of his lips to be pulled backwards by gravity. Apparently, that only happened in movies.It wasn’t fast as expected, but it was surely faster than the lizard mount back in Aeronvein.“I think my family will be glad when they know you’re not upset.” Yuta said as the carriage made a turn.The carriage is a closed one type, so no one would be able to see Jai here. Jai lowered his scarf and raised his eyebrows. “Why would I be upset?”“You gave my mother Blue Sendai bouquet last time.” Yuta said.Jai nodded. “Yes… I bought that flower for her. And then?”“Do you know what that flower represents?” Yuta asked.Jai nodded again, however, slower this time. “I do. It’s trust. And I really mean it.”Yuta smiled and nodded. “Good. If you really mean it, then that means you’re genuine. My
The Last Thunder 548 – The second session
Upon going inside, Shoru immediately poked her head out of the scarf and sniffed.Yuta snickered softly. “Oh you can smell it from here already, Shoru-chan?”Shoru turned to Yuta who was standing on Jai’s right side. Her eyes were full of curiosity. But instead of explaining, Yuta only chuckled. “Let’s go.” The guy said.Jai was also curious, but Yuta encouraged them to go, so he would. He let Shoru come out of the scarf before following Yuta deeper into the mansion.He didn’t quite remember the way inside of the mansion, but the inside looked like it doesn’t change at all. He didn’t know what kind of decorations are there in traditional Japanese houses, but he saw some of those here like rich people’s house would be. Though he didn’t think these decors are extravagant.There is a wooden carving that depicted the tail of a dragon, it was put on the wall near the waiting room from the last meeting. Then there were some paintings that are picturesque—mostly about nature. There is a smal
