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
The Last Thunder 592 – Treats (2)
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
The Last Thunder 595 – Diminished
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
The Last Thunder 597 – The Registration
Still on the same day, but three hours laters, a meeting was held in a different place in the Fire Kingdom. In the North Town, to be exact, it was less crowded than other towns.This is where the elite gathers after all. They do not flock themselves together like sheeps thrashing the streets like what was happening all around. No, they do it in their way. They held tea parties and lunch meetings to ‘have a chat’.Due to the surprise announcement in the paper, people’s plans had to change, and they have to give this sudden Hunting Event attention.Among these elites that were having their meetings with each other, there were some others who were invited to join. Others who weren’t ‘elite’. And among them, is the Komatsu family.“Oh don’t be nervous, Sen-chan.” Rio patted Sen’s knee.Sen, who was looking outside the window of the carriage, turned to his mother-in-law. Looking a bit confused, he said. “I’m not nervous. Why do you think I’m nervous?”Rio giggled. “You’re fidgeting.” She p
The Last Thunder 598 – Grinding (1)
Torfo finally put down the weights he was pulling. Sweats rolled down his face and necks, and all over his topless body. He leaned on the wall of the barrack for a couple of minutes, evening his breath and relaxing his muscles. Working out always help him clear his mind. He was a lot calmer now than he was an hour ago. Before, his head was spinning with worrisome thoughts, specifically about his best friend.It had only been a few weeks that Jai’s letter, but it felt like months to Torfo. He wanted to know if he managed to find Alex yet. He was very worried. If only his departure is not a threat to the peace between Aeronvein and Pyreblair, he would’ve gone already. But he was very famous after the tournament, and he couldn’t just go like that. Disguise could only go so much to cover him, but also his post in the military.He’s a bright soldier here, and he held a figure to every lower ranks. Even if he is someone favored by his higher ups, they couldn’t let him go willy nilly because
