“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
The Last Thunder 589 – Browsing through
A boy with dark blue hair stopped in front of a clinic. Walking here was hard for him because he didn’t want to face sadness and disappointment again.He didn’t know why Jai Waetford would care for him and Kuro, but what he said really strike him in the core.He loves Kuro. That much he realized and felt. But he also realized that his actions did not look like he loves Kuro at all. If he really cares for Kuro, he wouldn’t leave Kuro dying like that alone in the clinic.But he was too sad and broken to see Kuro being beaten like that before. After getting the news about Kuro might have to be let go, he felt his whole world shatter. His only beloved family is going to leave him. He felt so alone and small that instant, and he didn’t know what he should do. He didn’t want to let Kuro go, but seeing the dog in that state really crushed his heart. He couldn’t stay there and look at Kuro dying like that.So he went back to the place where the hooligans were, trying to ask them to apologize.
The Last Thunder 590 – A favor done
After two hours of searching, unfortunately, they couldn’t find the name Komatsu Eiji. But after browsing through the other family history books and old newspapers, they did find something else that’s equally interesting.“So the Komatsu family is not really a famous family. They were known once because one of their family members made it to the Singing Hall and managed to impress the previous King and Queen with her artistic talent.” Jai concluded from his notes. “It’s the same Komatsu that both of us found before.”Claude pulled him to his side because he was walking too close to the street. “Yes. She gained a bit of fame because of that. Watch out.”Jai mouthed a sorry before walking on his other side, avoiding the street. Then he continued. “She has children, and they were listed in the book before, but her husband was never mentioned. Do you think this Komatsu family is the one we’re looking for?”Claude shook his head. “I can’t say for sure. There are two other Komatsu families
The Last Thunder 591 – Treats (1)
Although Jai really wants to see Kuro, he felt like he should just go at that time before he has second thoughts that would prevent him from leaving. He wished that in the next time he would finally meet the two of them, Kuroda and Kuro stay healthy and would get a better opportunity to make their life better.“You remember what I said about wonderment on my friend’s stupidity?” Claude suddenly asked as they leave a bakery shop. There’s a bag of pastries in his hand.Jai immediately sweatdropped. “What is with it again? Why can’t you get off my back?” Jai asked in annoyance as he feed Shoru a piece of his croissant. While he understands the idea and likes it because of its originality, it doesn’t feel too good being called stupid.“Yeah, you said you wanted to go find these Komatsu we’ve found. And yet, you’re bringing Shoru and these bags of pastries.” He pointed to the bag of pastries in his hand and the thunder boy’s hand.Jai took a bit off his bread before answering. “Well, I thi

After work, they stayed in the office except for Mika and Arata. Jai presented some of his findings in the meeting room and the others were surprised.“Is it really Hi-kun?! Orange feathers?! Are you sure?! Did you see it for yourself?!” Darrion asked after Jai had explained in second time in universal language.Jai nodded. “Yes, I’m sure. I’ve seen it. I sat next to it. The guy has dark hair, I was perplexed for a second, but that bird is the justification.”“Are you really sure? You should’ve taken me! I would know for sure if it’s really him or the bird! How does the bird sound?” Darrion protested.“But that isn’t the one he’s talking about. He’s talking about the guyu, Hayate.” Raul said.Darrion turned to him with a deep frown. “I know! But if he’s with an orange bird named Hi-kun, then he should be the real one and not fake. We know how it is in black market. Anything can happen and anyone can be anyone.”“He’s right. Mercenaries can be anyone. Ever seen mercenaries in the north
The Last Thunder 594 – Firm
The day before.A woman wearing dull olive clothes and brownish pants walked up the stairs leading to the Komatsu mansion. She is one of the two attendants in this house. Formerly, they have three, two females and one male. But the other female was fired recently, because she helped the male escape. Although the male attendant was eventually caught, she still couldn’t save her job.The woman stopped just in front of the door. She checked her bag once again, making sure the groceries are indeed correct and nothing less.“Fruits, vegetables, flours… The milk was delivered this morning.” She looked to the side of the door, where the crate of milk is usually put by the milkman, but she didn’t find it there. “Oh the milks and the newspaper’s gone. Haato-san must’ve brought it inside.” She thought out loud.She shrugged and entered through the door. But she was immediately surprised by the figure in front of her. “Eh? Akane-san?”A young woman with short, pale brown hair and beautiful hazel

Akane went to wake her mother. The old woman woke up feeling joy to see her lovely daughter coming home. But the next second she told her about her concern, the old woman’s smile faltered. “Can’t you persuade father, mother? It’s pitiful. Just for something we can earn just by waiting a few more years?” Akane asked. Rio sighed and folded her blanket on her lap. But then the folded blanket was pulled by the little Shitone sitting beside the futon. The old woman let her though. “Akane-chan. Your father did this to protect our family.” “But we did just fine with Uncle Fu’s help! I mean, please, mother…” She pleaded to her mother. “Imagine me in his place. Would you be fine with that?” “You’re different.” Rio immediately said. “You and Haato are different. You’re our precious daughter while he’s just someone else. Don’t compare yourself to him, Akane-chan.” “But he still has family. You can’t deny that.” Akane said. “Yes, but you don’t have to worry. He’s going to the queen, and you
The Last Thunder 596 – Meet-up
Some says that the King is being unreasonable for speeding the Hunting Event. But actually, he was being the opposite. He was being reasonable because the said event was actually postponed because of his sickness. Of course, since the Hunting Event was never in an exact date, it could be held more than twice a year, so no one else really cares when it was held unless it’s the Hunting Season.In the Hunting Season, well, like its name, is the season for hunting monsters. At this time, the monsters from the last breeding season would’ve already grown into adults, which means they’re more dangerous, which means the kingdom would perish if they let all those monsters roam around freely.But no, this previously postponed Hunting Event is the kind to see the talents of youngsters over the months. It’s held specially for the students to show their progress to their teachers. Or for students to be legally paid for the hunt in the event. Since students are not allowed to work or involve themse
