Chapter 66 The girl who ran away from home and the boy who was looking for the fire dragon
"Uh-huh...!! Uh-huh——!! Mud...!! Needle...! So kind!!!"
"Ouch! Uh-huh!"
In a certain restaurant in the town, after saying a few words of inarticulate thanks, one person and one cat began to crazily swallow the food on the table.
"...Ahaha...eat slowly, no one will compete with you."
Guessing that these two foodies meant 'you are such a good person', Lucy's eyes couldn't stop twitching when she saw their eating looks.
Fortunately, I brought 'a little' living expenses before going out, otherwise I really wouldn't be able to withstand such a hassle...
Originally, even she was not so good-tempered that she would treat someone who knocked her away to a big dinner.
It was only when she accidentally saw the coat of arms on the opponent's shoulder when she fell that the girl's attitude changed 180 degrees.
(That coat of arms...)
If she remembered correctly, the coat of arms on the boy's shoulder was exactly the same as the coat of arms on the hand of the girl who came to visit her home that year.
Over the years, Lucy has also learned what that coat of arms represents.
Although it was a pity that the magician who abused magic escaped, but if she could successfully join the guild...
"...Um, your two names are Natsu and Happy, right?"
Blinking her eyes slightly expectantly, Lucy wanted to show her best side to the other party as much as possible.
There must be some big guilds like that, interviews and so on...
"My name is Lucy, Lucy Heartfilia!"
"This may be a bit complacent, but I can be considered an experienced magician!"
"Right! Bran!"
"..."
Lucy pointed at herself generously and put on a smile, but she didn't forget to ask her friends to support her.
Just waited for a while...
"...Bran?"
Someone was shocked to realize that at some point, the 'doll girl' who was sitting above her head had disappeared.
(No way……)
(...Ahhh!! Did I lose Bran?! Was that that time?!)
The girl, whose teeth were chattering and holding her head back, looked like something was wrong.
Of course she was not worried about what would happen to her friend with her strength, but she was worried about her own 'end'.
Growing up, it was clear that Lucy was the eldest lady and Brandish was just the daughter of her mother's maid, but on the contrary, she was always the one being 'bullied'.
"What's wrong? Louise."
Touching his round belly, Natsu finally did not forget his 'savior'.
"It's Lucy!"
"Aha……"
I always feel that I will be very tired next time.
"Hey hey hey!! Mr. Pola, it seems there are a lot of high-quality 'goods' this time!"
On the luxury ship in the "Harujion" harbor, he watched his men put the young girls who came to attend the dance into sacks and throw them aside. The man with the shiny head faced the "Fire Dragon" monster wearing a cloak.
smiled.
"...Hmph, that's true...the name of the Fire Dragon of 'Fairy Tail' is really useful."
With the same sinister look on his face, the man named Pola, pretending to be the 'Fire Dragon', also shook the wine glass in his hand in a pretentious manner.
"It's a pity that the coats of arms between guilds are all specially made. Now we can only hide them from ordinary people."
This is why they only dare to attack non-mage people now. If they are from a regular guild, just ask them to show their guild crest, and the secret will be revealed immediately.
"Speaking of which... I just saw a little girl who looked like a rookie wizard on the street. If there wasn't enough time, maybe there would be one more in the 'goods' this time."
"What a pity! Mr. Pola!"
"Yea, haha!!"
Laughing unscrupulously, their evil thoughts made these figures appear even darker in the candlelight.
These human traffickers may not have thought that it was this sentence that gave the lazy girl who had just sneaked into the ship a rare chance to get motivated.
"Yeah?"
"--who?!"
The sudden female voice made the group of people stop laughing and looked around in panic.
The women who came here were all hypnotized by their magic, so now...
"Originally I just wanted to throw you all to the army, but..."
"I changed my mind."
"——!"
On the sofa that was empty just now, a girl with emerald green hair suddenly appeared wearing a women's coat. She looked young, but her figure and clothes exuded a mature atmosphere.
"who are you?!"
Retreating to her accomplices, Pola tried her best to cover up her uneasiness by shouting.
"...Who? I'm sorry, I don't need to explain it to you at all."
The air began to freeze, and the girl's expression was terrifyingly cold.
"Because all of you..."
"There will be no tomorrow."
"——Quick! There is only one of that guy! Catch her!"
Constantly stimulated by the unknown fear in his heart, the fake fire dragon began to frantically command his men to surround the mysterious man.
However, the next moment, they lost each other's figure.
"……what is going on?!"
"Where are the people!?"
More and more chaotic shouts echoed in the cabin, and what they didn't expect was that the ship, which was obviously moored at the port, actually started to rock as if it was in a big wave after the girl disappeared.
"...!!!Mr. Pola!! Look!!"
Looking out the window in the direction pointed by his hand, a giant's eyes appeared there.
"How could it be possible!! This is impossible!! This is impossible!!"
Backing up in despair, Pola finally realized the confidence of the other party's words and the reason for his fear.
The difference in strength is not a level.
It wasn't that they entered the sea, but that the entire ship and people were shrunk together.
Putting the shrunken ship into a bottle and throwing it into the sea, Brandish seemed to have accomplished a trivial task.
In terms of strength, although at this stage she may not have as strong a magic power as the "Twelve Shields" level in the future due to her age and growth environment, S level is definitely no problem.
It is easy to deal with a guy like Pola who has been idle for several years after being expelled from the guild.
(As for these...)
After taking a look at the sacks around him, someone who thought it was troublesome decided to ignore them.
People from the inspection team will probably come later, so let these girls sleep here first and take it as a lesson.
She has other things to do.
"Well...now that Lucy has met someone from the leader's hometown, Aunt Leila and the others can rest assured."
A girl from a distraught family thought she had "run away from home", but little did she know that it was all under the control of a group of "adults".
But Lucy's goal is almost achieved, and her outing is not over yet.
"Really...why do I have other tasks next...The leader is really evil..."
Thinking of the next work, Brandish's demeanor suddenly changed and she burst into tears. She no longer had the high-pressure and powerful wizard attitude before.
But trouble is trouble, and the task must still be completed.
Otherwise, it would be terrible if a certain aunt gets angry.
"well……"
He lowered his head resentfully and dragged Brandish, who had become lazy, towards the train station.
The hem of the clothes at the ankles swayed slightly as he moved forward, and something could be vaguely engraved on the calf.
That is, a silver-purple crescent-shaped coat of arms. (To be continued)
