Darrion had a thought of stopping by the fifth house to check Kuroda, but he decided against. He would entrust Madam Uesugi with the boy for the time being. That is until he could figure out what happened to Kuro. He needed to find out.He climbed the road and out of the alleyway. He saw the restaurant right away, it was just directly across the alley he just exited. He carefully crossed the street and entered the restaurant with a jingle. From the outside, it didn’t look that big, but when he went in, it was actually quite spacious. There were some people in it already, along with Kitagawa who was sitting near the wall.“Welcome, dear brother! Where would you want to sit and what would you like?” The waitress immediately greeted him with smiles.Darrion stared at her with slight confusion, since she had just talked in Shouha. But he kinda guessed what she had asked, so he answered. “I’ll have a glass of water please, thanks. I’ll be sitting there with that man.” Darrion pointed to Ki
Yuta knew that his grandfather had not been in the capital for months. He’s the current chief of Akamine family after all, the one that attends to the Dragon’s needs. So when his grandfather didn’t know about Jai, Yuta didn’t think much.“Yuta, stand there.”He was confused at first, but since he thought his grandfather wanted to seize Jai up—just to check him out like what the elder ever did to lots of his guy friends when they come to visit. Again, he didn’t think much of it and just moved aside.However, his confusion increased tenfold when Jai was punched straight out of the room and into the garden. It was just something out of the ordinary—for him to see! That’s why he was so surprised! Along with the pets, they were also surprised! Especially Shoru, she immediately ran to her master, barking away good prayers.“Jai-san!!” Yuta exclaimed after a few seconds of processing. “Grandfather! What have you just done?!”His grandfather lowered his fist and calmly looked at him. “I just
Atsushi Kitagawa now knows why the name is familiar to him. It’s because he had read that name appeared on the paper once. But it was a special edition in the windlet newspaper, and now he remembered that the person in that section article is the same as the one dragging him upfront.The one he was just helping was none other than Darrion the Speedy Windlet.“D-Darrion-san! I have to be somewhere at 12!” The older man exclaimed in the middle of their run. He held his bag tight in his right hand.“It’s still 11 o’clock! I can easily get you anywhere by flying!” Darrion replied.“But flying is prohibited for people in Shouha!”“It’s just a lousy ticket. No big deal!” The windlet said before they sped up—Atsushi’s feet were literally flying by now as he was dragged by the blonde. The speed was overwhelming to the normal and nice guy, his eyes turned into a vortex.Darrion dragged the poor guy with his dash. He always run like that whenever he’s excited about something, even faster when h
A handsome man wearing a dark green kimono with golden linings sat on his throne. He was slightly pale, but his appearance was still absolutely attractive. His dirt colored hair was braided neatly without any hairs falling over his square face. His jade green eyes skimmed carefully the report in his hand, swiping from left to right slowly and making sure the paper was read thoroughly.‘There are so many reports…’ The man lamented silently as he made sure to not forget every single thing. There’s nothing that should escape his eyes. But all these reports that had been accumulated in his absence This throne of his is not an ordinary seat but it was a literal throne. Because this man is not an ordinary person. He is the most important person in the Fire Kingdom, the King himself.“Your Majesty. I’ve brought tea.” A young man wearing a lighter green—but still darker than the usual green—approached the royal. A tray in his hand with perfect white marble color. It looked like a very expens
When Darrion arrived at the post office, the windlets were having lunch. Jai was also there already, and other than him, there were Mika, Raul, Harris, Kotori, and Saburo. Arata wasn’t there as usual, probably still being undercover and always looking out for more information. There was someone else in his place though, someone that rarely join their lunch gathering. Baji was there, surprisingly.“Darrion-senpaaaii!!” Harris waved his chopsticks at him with excited grin.“Oh, Darrion, welcome.” Gilbert welcomed him from the table.“Since when did you call him ‘senpai’?” Kotori looked at her junior weirdly.Mika giggled. “You know how Harris-kun is.”The others chuckled. Jai waved at him with a smile and everyone seemed like they were having a good time. Even Baji, the man was busy munching on black bean noodles.“Kotori-san bought honey sesame fried chicken for you. Come here and sit!” Jai said, followed by a barking Shoru.The blonde’s mouth watered and he immediately sauntered over
Even though Jai had insisted that he would help, Darrion didn’t feel like dragging Jai into this matter. He believed this was what Lady Cronn entrusted him with, and he would finish it by himself.Jai understood his reasoning, so he trusted Darrion that he can. But he ensured the blonde to ask him for help if he need it.They arrived at the clinic at 8:20. Because Darrion would be working at the guild at 9 AM, he needed to visit early. That would also mean Shoru would be with him all day today.Maybe that’s why the little wolfy looked nervous, since this would be the first time she was away from Jai for long time.“Oh?” Doctor Myoga looked at Shoru in surprise. Her violet eyes stared back at his dark brown. “And this is?” He referred to the small entity in Darrion’s arms.“This is Shoru. She’s visiting Kuro.” Darrion said.“Are you now?” The doctor asked the small pup.Shoru breathed a sniff, pointing her snout at him, as if responding to the question.‘So cute.’ Myoga thought with a
The doctor was looking at Shoru’s treat with wide eyes and mouth open. He looked surprised and disbelief as he examined that single dark magenta colored dried meat-like thing that, to Darrion, wasn’t very special.‘What’s so amazing about that jerky?’ Darrion wondered. But they didn’t have the time for that.The commotion must’ve reached the lobby. Because a second later, the door opened and the other doctor came in. “What’s going on?”Surprised by the new entrance, Shoru stopped howling and started growling instead, however, it was directed at the newcomer.The doctor closed the door slowly with rather fearful expression, but he let a tiny gap open to peek.Then something caught her attention and she barked at Myoga, confusing the doctor.‘Now what…?’ Darrion thought. All this sudden weirdness is making him uncomfortable. He almost regretted not bringing Jai with him. But he tried to be calm. Then he asked softly. “Shoru… What are you doing…?”Seeing that the doctor doesn’t understan
When Darrion reported to Cronn what he had found, the knightess was shocked.“I-I thought…” She muttered.“I don’t know where Miss Lesley heard of it. But it’s not true. Although it’s not a very good news since Kuro is still in a coma.”Cronn nodded. “No, thank you. If it weren’t for you, we wouldn’t have learned.”Darrion frowned. “I can’t believe people would assume the worst.”“It’s natural for people to assume the worst so that they would be prepared for when it really happens. We’ll put aside Kuro-kun’s wound for now. How is Arimura-kun’s condition?” She looked worried.Darrion bit his lower lip, unsure what to say. “He accidentally injured his leg. But I can say that I got him out of his room and now he’s staying with the neighbors.” Darrion pulled out a key from his pocket and gave it to Cronn.“What is this?” She asked.“It’s the key to Kuroda’s room. It was quite messy, so I tidied it up a bit. But, I didn’t take out the thrash yet. I don’t know if I should.”She kept the key
