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
“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.
“Why are you looking like that? Is there something in that direction?” Jai asked as he stopped.Harris was staring at a direction with suspicion as he walked, and then bumped into Jai unconsciously, startling no one but himself. “Ah!”“Shh.” Jai shushed him calmly. “Is there a monster coming?”The reason Jai asked that question was because Harris is also a good wind elemer. He didn’t really know just how adept he is in wind element, but he was able to hear Arata mumbling even before the senior windlet entered the office. That at least speaks something about his capability to Windtalk.The brunette patted his own chest before calming down. “Ah, no there isn’t. There’s a uhh… I can hear some beasts around us, but they don’t look like they’re coming here. Oh there’s one, it’s coming here. But it doesn’t seem rushed.”Looking around, he didn’t see anything coming. But maybe that’s because the trees are just too gigantic to see anything pass through. So yeah, he can at least count on this
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
Darrion put back the books in their respective places in the bookshelf. These books consist of the geography surrounding Fire Kingdom, monsters inhabiting certain areas in the forest, the villages and towns’s area map and the descriptions, also the records of the Guild’s previous missions.The blonde didn’t feel sure why he was chosen to help with things like these. It might probably be fine with the other books unrelated to the Guild, but the latter, the mission records, he didn’t think he should be involved. Should Lady Cronn learned of his superb memory, would she still hire him as her temporary assistant?Then again, did she ask Harris to do this too?“I asked for someone having a better handwriting and he was right to have send you. Your handwriting is better than Harris.”Darrion turned around after he put the last book in shelf. She was reading the papers he had written into, admiring his handwriting.“My mom would prick my thumb with needle if I don’t write beautifully.”She l
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
