Semua Bab The Last Thunder: Bab 531 - Bab 540

They entered the post-office and a gasp suddenly filled the room. It was Kotori who gasped.She was standing by the counter in the lobby as she pointed at Darrion. “You’re still alive!” Darrion frowned, confused more than hurt. “Whatever do you mean by that?”“I heard from Chief that you’re sick after eating the Guild’s chicken wing! And I remember you can’t eat spicy foods. I thought…” Kotori pouted, but everyone could see that it was faked, especially with how she was talking.“I don’t like spicy foods. It’s not that I can’t eat it.” Darrion replied.“But you don’t like it because you can’t eat it. That can’t be wrong, right?” Kotori asked.“Not really… Sometimes people can’t eat some foods, but they still do anyway.” Jai said. Darrion pointed to him while smiling at Kotori, agreeing with his words.Kotori narrowed her eyes slightly and leaned her body forward. “Reallly~?”“Really~” Jai nodded.“Why?” Kotori asked.She didn’t look like she was genuinely asking him, she was only tau

A beautiful woman walked the hallway of the royal palace with grace. She was wearing a dark red dress that was a combination of kimono and robe—similar to ancient Japanese royal dress, but it had more seams and the beautiful embroidery, the theme of rose, embedded on the fabric could very well make this dress a national treasure decades after.Not only that, on her forehead, there’s a beautiful tiara carved from gold with a tear shaped jewel in the middle. That was her crown. The sign that she’s someone important.Surely, ordinary women wouldn’t have the privilege to wear these kinds of robes, they could only dream of even touching it. Yes, she is not an ordinary woman. She is the current ruler of Fire Kingdom, Her Majesty, the Queen.Her hands, covered by the beautiful layers of her gown sleeves, were clasped neatly in front of her stomach. Her eyes, dark as a starless night, fazed calmly in front of her as she strode forward with grace.A man in dark red outfit, close to maroon, wal

Arata skipped his steps passed the southern neighbourhood. He was tasked to deliver the suspended letters from Higurashi. Higurashi might only be a village, but it was also a transit place. Many people from the Northeast sometimes send their letters to the post office in Higurashi because of its closer distance to the capital. Which was why there were… Abundant of it.The spiky haired young man stopped in front of a crossing. The road was a bit busier than the middle of the day because there were many people coming home, or departing for their work. It is almost like early in the morning, but it is busier because there were more shifts in the day rather than at night. Humans aren’t nocturnal creatures after all, most activities happen in the day.As the dark orange hue smeared in the sky behind him, Arata waited until the sign appeared for them to cross. In almost every road in Shouha, there was this lamp post with three small and round signs with different colors: Red, Yellow, and Pu

Grandma Hanabi entered the kitchen again after she gave Haku the new batch of food. She heard sounds from the back room and decided to have a peek. She lowered the heat of the stove and tip-toed to the back room’s doorway. She saw Jai and Darrion sitting around the table and enjoying the snacks and the grated ice that Haku had re-frozen. But the other guy, the windlet with messy spiky hair but charming smile, was nowhere to be seen.“Ara, where’s your friend?” Grandma Hanabi approached them.“Oh, he left.” Darrion said.Grandma Hanabi looked disappointed. She pouted slightly with both of her hands on her hips. “He didn’t even finish the snacks. How rude.”“Ah, he wants me to relay his apology and promise to come next time.” Jai immediately said.Grandma Hanabi huffed. “He better be. And I’ll make sure to fall in love with our food!” The old lady clapped her hands with confident smile.Her reactions sent smiles on Jai and Darrion’s faces.“What will you two have? Donkatsu? Or eggs?” As

The fact that the ‘pawn’ of the stabbing died unexpectedly (surely he’s killed, there’s no other way around it), had crushed Jai’s hope in obtaining a lead. He was the targeted person, not Claude, and he had thought to get to the bottom of this when the case was brought up after he came back to Shouha.Working on this case is not only to satiate his curiosity, but also the justice for Claude since he took the strike in Jai’s place. Even though it wasn’t a very complex poison and still treatable, the kind hunter almost loses his life, which made it a bit hard for Jai to let the case go just like that. But he knew he had to tell Claude, he was just not ready to share the bad news since he thought that he needed to give another solution to deal with the situation.Darrion had told him to tell Claude however it is, just come clean, but Jai didn’t listen to him the first time.“But it’s the truth. What else can we do? It’s not our fault the man got killed.” Darrion replied.“No, it’s not o
