The Last Thunder 581 – Leaving Shoru at the clinic
The nearest one was in the center of the kingdom. Well, near the center. From Arata’s description, the place is located before the center town, in one of their business districts. It’s near a marketplace that is located between two business districts, so it’s kind of crowded.Jai hoped Shoru wouldn’t be too anxious when they’re there, because there will be much more people now that they’re nearing the center of the kingdom.He had noticed in his journey with Harris, that the center of the kingdom is very crowded. It’s no wonder because the palace is in the center of the kingdom, and naturally, it would become a crowded place aside from filled with rich people.Harris had told him that even though the center of the kingdom is crowded, the palace in the middle of itself are surrounded by five instances that each had good distances from each other, so the palace isn’t directly connected to the streets.Jai imagined it like a chateau with super wide lawn of grasses, but that’s only a gues

The place in the center is near the marketplace between two districts. In Arata’s notes, it wasn’t mentioned if the Hayate in this place is connected to a guy named Karu or Goro, but it’s still Hayate with a scar on the face.He made his way to the marketplace by following Arata’s direction. Seeing that it’s near a marketplace, many types of people should be there, so he thought that he shouldn’t have to hide himself anywhere. But he still has to be careful, because he’s in a place he doesn’t know and no one is around him to take care of him but himself if anything happens.Since he’s still unfamiliar with the concept of districts, he asked someone for direction to go to the marketplace when he thought he’s near. There were two women whom he assumed to be housewives. They had groceries in their hands, and assuming that they had just come from the marketplace, he approached.“Excuse me.” He bowed slightly. “May I ask the direction of the marketplace?”The women instantly turned around

Jai’s eyes burnt into the backs of the three people group. If only looks can kill, those three would be dead by how fierce Jai was glaring at them.He knew about Kuroda and Kuro, and he wanted to help. However, he respects Darrion more and entrusted him to solve it by himself.But after hearing those words from the group, he couldn’t stand still.He put his bento in his bag and followed the group.Claude, who was watching him walking with eyes of flame, immediately stood straight. ‘Where’re you going now?’ He immediately followed Jai from the other side of the road.The group turned to the right with no suspicion. There was a small snack shop on the right, and they stopped there to buy some. Jai walked up to them.The shortest of them, who was also shorter than Jai by a head, immediately raised his hand up slightly to block him. “Go away! We’re here first!” Clearly, the boy mistook him trying to cut the line.Jai had already stopped when the boy raised his hand, so they weren’t touchi

The three hooligans, Jai, along with the shopkeeper were brought by the authority to the nearest police office.Someone had called the guards to stop them from fighting. Turned out the fight was over right when the guards arrived. Although the fight seemed to be over, the swelling on one of the guys’ cheek could not be ignored.“But the problem’s solved, sir. I’m just seeking justice for my friend.” Was what Jai wanted to say. But recounting from his friend’s story about being imprisoned because of a school fight, he should not say anything unless someone testified for him. So he stayed silent.The sound of iron door swinging close was heard in the police office, and Jai stared at the guard across from him outside the cell with helpless look. “So when can I walk free?”“Until you’re proven innocent. Until then, stay there quietly and don’t make too much of a mess.” The guard said before leaving.Jai watched him leave with slightly confused look. “He didn’t even ask my name.” He whispe

“What did you do in there?” Claude asked.“Kicking some sense into someone who really needs it.” Jai faked a cough and looked into the Arata’s notepad. “Alright, thank you for your help, Claude. I really appreciate it, but I must go now.” Jai put away the notebook and began to run. “Ack!!”“Wait, no.” Claude immediately pulled the guy by the back of his scarf, choking him a bit.“I’m a troublemaker, remember? Why do you want to stick with me?” Jai stepped back and looked at the guy.“That’s exactly why I have to stick around. Once I turn my back on you, trouble come seeking you. Isn’t there anyone waiting for you at home? Like, not your fans, but, your family.” Claude said. He’s throwing what Jai told Kuroda back to him, and Jai felt irony patting his head at that moment.“I… Got business to do. My business. You got your own business to do, don’t you?” Jai asked.“I still got time. Where are you going? What’s that note?” Claude asked. Even though he already knew all of that. “Until I
The Last Thunder 586 – Jai, Threatening
Another scrunching sound was heard, along with the sounds of cans falling to the ground. Hayate’s lips curved slightly into a small nervous smile. “Sorry, let me just—”“Oh I got this. You take care of him.” The owner said, going to the back room. “Oi! Hi-chan!” A hearty laughter and a heavy chirp were heard as the door closed.Hayate shook his head with a smile. “So? What do you need?”Jai nodded to Claude and the hunter stepped back to let them talk alone. Jai turned back to Hayate. “Are you Hayate?”Hayate nodded. “Yes. I’m Hayate.”Jai stared at him up and down. This man had orange eyes and dark hair, and a big scar on the right side of his face. The dark top and dark grey camo pants, along with dark boots that looks durable and tight. These clothes don’t make him look like a kidnapper, nor his face.Jai doesn’t know how to describe his face, but Hayate sure a good looking guy. But something made Jai frown. ‘Isn’t Hayate a ginger?’The man raised his eyebrows. “Hello? I don’t have
The Last Thunder 587 – Alex’s whereabouts
Even though the guy had said that he’ll talk, Jai still didn’t let him go. And his hand was still hovering over the man’s face. Although without sparks, this action seems to still scare the guy. But Jai didn’t look like he’s moving his hand anywhere anytime soon.Hayate swallowed as he looked at Jai’s hand. “C-Can you move your hand…?”“What, nervous?” Jai replied.“Yes, I’m nervous!” Hayate replied almost immediately.“Well start telling me, or I won’t move it.”“Move it or I won’t say anything! Me fainting won’t get you anything!!” Hayate yelled.Jai shrugged. “I have time.”Hayate swallowed. “You psycho!”“Says the one who had kidnapped someone and later says he doesn’t do kidnapping.” Jai said. He leaned closer to the guy. His ocean blue glared fiercely at the guy’s candle light. “You’re in this line of work. Dealing with a psycho is everyday breakfast for you.”Hayate gritted his teeth. The pressure Jai was giving seems to break his wall more.Claude who watched the whole ordeal
The Last Thunder 588 – To the library
“I never knew you can interrogate people like that.” Claude said after they left the black market. “You can apply for the intelligence division in the military, you know. You can fight, you can make people to say something. You’ll do good there.”Jai took out his pen and started writing in his notepad. “Komatsu Eiji… A project, many people involved… The Queen…” He mumbled.He wrote all the information he had gotten from Hayate and the location of the miscellaneous store in case he needs to go find the guy again to ask for more information about the family.He didn’t really care with what was going on ‘under the covers’. But he would write it just in case. He was thinking of the worst case. Assuming that the rumour is true, then that would mean there’s a possibility that this Komatsu Eiji could only be the middle man. And if that’s really what happens, Jai would have to prepare to break into the palace.“Hey, are you listening to me?” Claude asked, but Jai didn’t respond again.Claude
