Chapter 36 Lucy's吐槽 remains consistent.
Chapter 36 Lucy's吐槽 remains consistent.
At the guild entrance, a magic circle shone brightly.
Chase, Mira, and the Dark Magician Girl landed smoothly on the shoulders of the giant rock soldier that was gradually turning into points of light and disappearing.
"The residents of Magnolia are as enthusiastic as ever; there's just no way to deal with these guys."
Chase sighed helplessly, then looked at Mira, who was wearing a burgundy dress, and smiled, "Mira, you see? This is one of the benefits of going on a mission with me!"
Mira glanced back at the noisy street behind her, a signature gentle smile on her face.
"However, it was a little too enthusiastic, wasn't it?"
As the face of Fairy Tail and a beloved weekly magazine cover girl, this was the first time she had experienced such special treatment reserved for Chase.
Well, it's a little embarrassing, and I'm not particularly used to it.
"I'm so indignant! Even if Mira and I combined are popular in Magnolia, we still can't compare to Master!"
The Dark Magician Girl puffed out her cheeks angrily.
Even though she and Mila were by his side, all he heard along the way was "welcome" for Chase.
This was a huge blow to the dark magician girl who was extremely confident in her cuteness.
In fact, under normal circumstances, she had just gone through a great battle and her body had reached its limit. Although she was not "killed" on the spot, she still needed time to rest and recover in the deck.
However, Chess couldn't resist the girl's curiosity about the aftermath of the Demon God of War, so he had to expend a lot of magic power to force her to sneak out and return to Magnolia together.
This can be considered as fulfilling her wish to complete the photo shoot commission with Mila.
"It's probably because the rock giants were so tall that the residents didn't notice us standing on their shoulders and subconsciously thought it was just Chess."
Mira rested her chin on her hand and spoke thoughtfully.
This wasn't a polite way of comforting her; it was her truest feeling deep inside.
After all, he was quite popular in Magnolia...
The two pretty and cute girls exchanged a glance, then nodded firmly: Yes! That's absolutely right!
Just then, the guild's newly repaired door was suddenly pushed open before Chess could make a move.
Hearing the commotion, Chase's friends, who knew he was back, rushed out, their faces beaming with excitement.
"Oh! It really is Chase back!"
"What a man! We saw it in the newspaper, you're so cool!"
"Driving away the tourists in your way and taking on the legendary monster one-on-one, you've really got guts, Chess!"
The only one capable of uttering such a bizarre statement was Natsu, who was at the very front.
Behind him, Lucy's sarcastic remarks continued unabated: "No, no, no, I think Mr. Chase is the legendary monster..."
Recalling the bright red headlines and cool illustrations in the newspaper, Lucy couldn't help but imagine herself spreading her arms wide, shielding the war-torn town from the monsters, and shouting, "This world will be protected by me, Queen Lucy!"
Instantly, the naive girl was completely overwhelmed by how incredibly handsome she looked in the cape.
"Hey Lucy, in situations like this, you're usually the first one to get punched!"
Harpy's cold words were like a knife, stabbing deeply into Lucy.
"How heartless! They won't even give me a chance to dream..."
Lucy was left in the same spot, severely impacted.
Seeing his companions gather around him in an instant, and hearing their excitement and admiration, Chase couldn't help but blush: "Aha, ahaha, everyone found out so quickly?"
"I see, the Magic Weekly is really fast."
Mira noticed the newspaper that Macao was holding in his hand.
"Damn it! I should have just taken Chess's commission instead of destroying the books!" Natsu shouted indignantly.
Lucy was speechless: You just want to fight the Eighteen Gods of War, right?
And there's Mr. Chase's commission, which is an S-rank!
"How could I let my sister get into such a dangerous situation? Waaah! I'm such a failure as a man!" Elfman cried bitterly.
Lucy: You siscon!
"It's a real shame. Protecting tourists is something a handsome guy like me should be doing." Loki raised his hand and pushed up his reflective glasses.
Lucy: You just want to go on dates with the pretty Mira and the cute Dark Magician Girl, right?
Feeling the disdainful gaze, Loki was startled: "What?! Lucy, you're here?!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he, who had just been looking so handsome, instantly hid far away.
Having committed a grave mistake and been exiled by the Celestial Spirit Realm, he was terrified of being with Celestial Spirit Mages.
Lucy blinked, looking completely bewildered.
"Please use your candle brain to think, Chase accepted an S-class commission."
Gray, who has always been at odds with Natsu, stepped forward, his black leggings gleaming in the sunlight.
His clothes have disappeared from home again.
"Huh? You have a problem with that, you damn ice cube!"
Natsu retorted angrily, clenching his right fist and igniting a blazing flame, his provocative gaze sweeping across the entire arena.
"A bunch of guys who cower in fear at the mention of S-rank commissions aren't worthy of being my rivals, hahaha!"
A stone stirred up a thousand waves.
The other guild members, with their fiery tempers flaring up, shouted and rolled up their sleeves, starting a brawl right at the guild's entrance.
Having already assessed the strength of this group, Chase simply smiled and walked slowly into the guild, bypassing the crowd.
He still had important matters to attend to, namely, to report to the guild leader on the detailed events surrounding the Isle of Calamity's Ruins.
Accompanying him were Mira and the Dark Magician Girl, with Lucy cautiously following at the very back.
Since most people were engaged in battle outside, the guild hall was much quieter, with only a few scattered people inside.
"Yoches, you're back?" Cana's voice came from inside.
Unlike before when she would get completely drunk while clutching a barrel of wine, after borrowing the book of secret arts from Chase, she had been studying it diligently. Now, holding a quill pen in her hand, she sat there looking exceptionally quiet.
However, the aura she exuded was much more composed and solid than before.
"Kana, how are you feeling?" Chase greeted her with a smile.
"That's pretty good, I feel like there's hope this time, thanks."
Kana put down her quill, crossed her legs on the table, and said with a longing look, "I've heard about the Island of Ruins. You're really amazing."
Yes, her gentle demeanor was instantly shattered by this wild posture.
"Not only the master, but also I and Sister Mira played a very crucial role!"
The Dark Magician Girl playfully raises her cute scissor hand.
That's true. After all, without the time they bought, by the time Chess arrived and the Sky Drum had absorbed a large number of offerings, it would probably have already reached its most perfect and peak state!
"Haha, that's true." Kana agreed wholeheartedly.
Although she is a card monster summoned by Chess through magic, she has discussed many topics about magic with the Dark Magician Girl.
She was genuinely amazed by the breadth of knowledge this genius magical girl possessed, and gained many insights from it that differed from common sense.
"I always felt that Dark Magician Girl was super powerful too..." Lucy, the newbie, muttered to herself.
She looks like a girl even younger than me. Lucy, you really need to work harder to become stronger!
"Oh, right, Lucy."
Chase heard Lucy muttering to herself, trying to cheer herself up, and turned to look at her, asking a question.
"Naz Habib took on a commission earlier, and if I'm not mistaken, they probably asked you to team up with them, right? How did it go?"
