“What is this thing called again?” Jai asked Harris as he examined the square thing in his hand. They had just bought another one like Glibert had instructed.“Rune Picturesk.” The brunette emphasized the ‘sk’. “Yeah it’s the ‘res’ in ‘resilience’ and it’s as resilient as it’s referenced… Uhh… It’s referred to.”It is square, seems made of metal, and the size is ¾ of his hand. There are reliefs on its sides and a single pentagon shaped gem with indigo color embedded on the center. There is a small screen on the back side that reflected one can see through to the front. There’s a transparent purple spot in the middle of the screen. It was faint, but it’s there.Jai kind of know how this thing works, but the problem is, there is no button to press. How is he going to take picture?“You mean ‘Picturesque’?” Jai asked.“No, Picturesk. With letter K in the end. Do you know how to use it?” Harris asked before munching on a big piece of dango. His cheek bloated up like a squirrel.“I don’t.

Claude crossed his fingers and trusted Lord of the Wind to protect Jai and his current companion. He just wished that the thunder elemer’s trouble magnet is currently deactivated so he could peacefully follow this suspicious guy.He had heard of this guy’s voice before. It was coming from that house that Jai and Darrion was visiting in Takenoko. He didn’t know if he is one of the people they’re looking for, but there’s no way of knowing except following this guy. He knew his way around this part of the kingdom, so he would know how to get back to Jai.‘If he’s one of the keypoints, then their investigation would end soon and I can go back.’ Claude thought.He was already missing Aeronvein. He has a duty to fulfil there, not here. If only she wasn’t so close to him that he felt like helping her all the time, he wouldn’t have come. But she asked him herself, so he will do his best.Claude watched the skinny man walking to a district slightly to the southeast. Claude remembered this plac

Like he said, Jai didn’t puke when they arrived at the North Branch Adventurer’s Guild. It was as if it’s a normal occurrence to him by now. Although his head is slightly off when they arrived, it was almost the same as the fifth time his dear friend the speedy windlet had taken him to the places in the Wind Kingdom. Though, it wasn’t as bad.The North Branch Adventurer’s Guild is only slightly smaller than the South Branch from the outside. It’s also a two storey building with a balcony on its side on its second floor. Like its South counterpart, the roof is also red in color. There were three different flag colors above the door, just like the South. The only difference is that there’s a logo of a shield with two swords behind it above the entrance door.They entered the building and Jai was taken aback by how different it looked. Unlike the South Guild that felt homey and adventure like, this one is… Luxurious. The walls are in a lighter theme, the guild’s mission board is also ado

Jai blinked his eyes and re-read the letter’s content. He wanted to make sure he didn’t misread the entire thing.‘There’s an old magazine shop in the town’s southeast. Just across a field. The owner knows someone called Hayate.’As far as he could remember, Jai had never mentioned the names of the kidnappers other than to the windlets of the South branch. Those two windlets who just left couldn’t possibly know, because the ones who know about the problem are this branch and not the smaller branches.“Who sent this?” Jai asked Gilbert.“A young man. He’s wearing dark outfit. He didn’t seem to hurry but he wanted this letter to be sent quickly.” Gilbert asked.“Did he mention his name?” Jai asked that because neither the envelope nor the letter has the sender’s identity. There’s just a name under the ‘sender’ word, that is ‘Person’.“Anonymous. Could it be from someone you knew? What is it about?” Gilbert asked.“I-It’s a…” Jai was confused on how to say it. “I-It says about a lead. Bu

The old man put two cups of tea on the small table in front of Jai, then he took the chair behind the counter and sat across from him. Gilbert was standing behind Jai, looking as if he was checking out the goods. There were actually some books among the shelves, having its own section. So it wasn’t surprising now that the kids call this a bookstore.“Thank you, Shiroe-san.” Jai thanked the man.The old man, Shiroe, waved his hand dismissively. “Ah. Apology… There’s not much in here.”“It’s alright. I come from a village too.” Jai replied, to which Gilbert faked a cough and tapped his shoulder.“Oh, please, blonde big brother. You’re also welcome to the tea.” The old man said.Gilbert smiled at him with his charming warm smile as he took a magazine out of the highest shelf, him holding Jai’s shoulder as a ruse to hoist himself up.“How long have you been in this neighbourhood, sir?” Jai then asked.The man didn’t seem to notice that exchange between them as he smiled warmly at Jai. “Si
