Thirty Years Later Chapter 12


After a tedious explanation Jun decided to come over to his friends' house and have a long discussion he prepared himself for. It was around dinner time when he finally arrived and now was sitting on Shun's couch happy to see him again.

-Suboshi is one thing, but what about Miboshi, we don't even have a slightest idea where he is- Ayuru voiced pacing floor of the living room-You know, you could be a little more helpful bro-he turned to a blond man sitting cross-legged and beaming at him with his brown eyes.

-Hey I'm not the one spending all my time arguing with Shun here.-Jun stated smiling at his brother- Look at you two, you are so alike it's hard to imagine you are not brothers yourselves. –he pointed out looking at Shun and shaking his head in amusement-are you sure you did not switch your personalities by some miracle?

-Ha, ha living with you will do it Jun. –Ray offered smiling at her old friend and giving him a glass of brandy on ice-After traveling with you for who knows how long Tasuki mellowed out, and Nakago… well you two grew up together so now this man has become more caring, and got a sense of humor.-Jun took an offered drink with gratitude

-Thank you Ray-he said smiling, while Kaen glanced at him with amusement

-You're the one to talk-she turned to Jun-you've become a menace yourself, and your sarcastic mockery can bring anyone to insanity. It's hard to believe you were a monk.

-I was not a monk Kaen-Jun retaliated- I was a traveling magician, and this time I have no tragedies in my life to hold me down. Do I?

-It's pointless to argue with them Jun-Ray explained and set down on the couch by him-Thank you for coming so quickly by the way

-Anything for you Ray-Jun smiled giving Ray a slight nudge-anyway-he returned to the topic at hand- I spend all this time trying to find some information on Miboshi and it led me to think, we should look at some entertainers.

-Entertainers my ass-Shun yelled coming out of the hall with a newspaper he was going to use for blowing coals out at the grill-This fucker killed Chiriko, I want him nowhere near here-He shouted from the garden

-Hey Ash killed me-Ray yelled back at him-and you like her right? Ayuru killed Hotohori, so what's the big deal?-She asked in a more lighthearted voice

-Ash was ordered to do so by the blonde here-Shun commented- and Ayuru is now our family so I have to put up with it-he said tiredly.

Ayuru who was just pouring himself some juice in the kitchen came back out a bit concerned- So you tolerate me only because of Kaen?-he asked with the slight hurt

-Yes.-Shun stomped and came out of the garden with the newspaper folded in a fan shape and slapping it on his hand, which really reminded Jun of his tessen as he laughed knowing that it might end badly.

-Mf-Ayuru turned away from him- and here I thought we could be friends

-You guys are so annoying-Ray breathed and turned back to Jun who was now barely able to hold his drink from laughter- Jun!-she yanked him back to reality- what did you have in mind for Miboshi?

-Well-Jun breathed heavily as he started to calm down-we know that he was a skilled magician and he could fly…

-So what? We should start by looking at pilots and magic performers?-Shun slapped the newspaper again making Jun jump

-Maybe-Kaen said thinking- but I also know his real name was Raneisei…-Ayuru looked at her in surprise-Funny –he said-he called himself Nirusha when he introduced himself to me,

-It was Miboshi-Shun exclaimed annoyed- he jumped from body to body for years who knows how many names he had.

-That's complicated-Jun agreed-but our names are not too far off the ones we had back in another world, so we should draw upon what we know. Suddenly something caught Shuns eye in the newspaper and starting to laugh he put it in front of Jun-Like this?-He asked spreading the newspaper out- I'm not too big on exposition, but that was just funny.

Looking on the page Ray read "Niro! The Magician Extraordinaire- in town from 5th to 8th of July. Tickets available online"

-Hey this might be it you don't know no da-Jun smiled shrugging.

Kaen who was staying quiet and listening to the conversation suddenly paled and set down with a strange look on her face-Now that I think about it –she said hurriedly-when I was in Greece with mother, I was only five back then, and I met a young boy on the beach, his name was Niro. I played with him many times while our mothers were talking to each other, and he told me stories of another world. Of course I thought they were just stories but when we came back to Japan I suddenly started to regain my memories, so maybe this boy was…

-So that's why you stopped talking to me for a whole year?-Ray asked shaking her head at Kaen

-Yeah, sorry hon…

Ayuru looked at his wife coldly-And you only now telling us that?

Sorry-she said intently apologetic-but the name "Niro" sparked some memories; you should feel lucky I remembered it at all.

Yeah-Shun replied-you should feel lucky, I picked up this paper.

-Can everyone calm down please, we don't know if its him.-Jun stood up -what we should do is go to this show and find out for ourselves.

-Looks like I'm getting tickets, I assume we all going?-Ray asked also getting up and living the room to get her laptop

-Sure I've got nothing better to do than watch some stupid magic show-Shun said sarcastically

-Then you can stay home dear, -Ray smiled-but Ayuru and Kaen have to go.

-Live it to us-Kaen jumped excitedly- we have not gone out for a while, it should be a nice change.

-Great!-Ray folded and went out of the room.
