Chapter 67 On the Independent Guild 'The Witch's Poem'
The most famous magician guild in the kingdom, "Fairy Tail", is the guild that Lucy Heartfilia wants to join.
Counting the time, it has been a while since this runaway girl came to this city called "Magnolia".
After experiencing some twists and turns on the journey, she finally got her wish and joined the guild where the fire dragon boy belonged, and gradually experienced a hustle and bustle of life that ordinary people could never imagine.
The president who can turn into a giant, the monkey who can receive magic on the snow-capped mountains, and even pretended to be a maid in the Duke's house...
In just four or five days, the eldest lady of the Qiao family had collected a lot of adventure material that could be used in novels, making her feel very wise in her decision to choose this guild.
"...I don't know what Bran is doing now..."
Lying in the bathtub in the rental house with a look of enjoyment on her face, Lucy, who had finished her work for the day, thought of her friend who left her a few days ago and then left a brief message.
(But it’s Bran after all... Maybe he’s lazing around while eating dessert right now...)
Being very familiar with the strength and character of her childhood sweetheart, the blond girl put down her worries and smiled, then sank down again to relieve the accumulated fatigue.
It's a pity that this time, under someone's supervision, Brandish couldn't be lazy even if he wanted to.
Time goes back to the day after the two separated, in the northeastern part of the "Kingdom of Fiore" and on the outskirts of "Ogu Town".
A little girl with dark blue hair sat uneasily on the rock, looking towards the intersection behind her from time to time, as if waiting for someone to arrive.
Next to her, there was a white kitten that was very similar to Hubby's race. It was holding its hands in a very humane manner, with a dissatisfied look on its face.
"I said Wendy, is she too slow?"
"Cold, calm down, Xia Lulu!"
Soothing the slightly fuzzy kitten, the little girl knew that it was not good to be late, but she would not complain because of her kind and considerate personality.
But one morning... it is indeed a long time to wait...
"……Why……"
"It's just because you're so easy to bully, Wendy, that's why you've never been able to stand alone!"
"Woooo..."
Looking at his partner with a sigh, it was obvious that this was not the first time the white cat had preached.
So in order to help the little girls grow up faster, they came to participate in this mission.
Fortunately, we didn't have to wait all afternoon, and the belated guy finally arrived at noon.
"...I thought who would be with me this time, but it turned out to be you, little Wendy!"
"Sister Lan Ti!"
A voice of surprise came from behind the two of them, and the little girl who called the person by his nickname was hugged by the other person.
"Ah~ As expected, little Wendy's body is soft and cool, so cute!"
Brushing his face on the most adorable girl in the guild, Brandish looked satisfied and completely forgot about the fact that he was late for most of the day.
This action also made a certain kitten even more unhappy.
"Wait a minute! Miss Brandish, let go of Wendy quickly! Also, since you are so late, shouldn't you apologize to us first?!"
"...?"
Not to be outdone, Xia Lulu felt that she must declare her 'sovereignty' as she stared at the most powerful mage in this strange guild.
Wendy is her partner!
However, what the lazy girl looking at Xia Lulu was thinking about was something on another channel.
(...That soft hair must be very comfortable to sleep on...)
The corners of her mouth curled up a little willfully, and Brandish activated her magic without hesitation.
"Command·Reduce".
"——?!"
"Wendy?! Miss Brandish?!"
The silhouette of her companion suddenly disappeared, causing Xia Lulu to scream in surprise.
Fortunately, soon, the voices of the two people came from 'above' them.
"Hehe...it's really soft..."
"Sister Lan Ti, this is the case..."
She happily lay on Xia Lulu's head with the smaller Wendy. She didn't know when she got into the bad habit of riding on top of her head.
Xia Lulu, who felt a flea-like feeling on her hair and knew it was the effect of Brandish's magic, blushed and protested even louder.
"Hurry up and change Wendy back, then get off my head, Brandi——!"
"...It looks like you're having a lot of fun these days, Lanti..."
"grumble--!"
Hearing this voice that appeared at the same time as Xia Lulu, Brandish let out a soft cry as if something was stuck in her mouth, and her body became stiff and unable to play.
She could 'bully' Wendy and Xia Lulu, but she couldn't ignore the owner of this voice.
Because this woman has been her 'nightmare' since childhood...
"...You, why are you here..."
"Eileen..."
I didn't dare to look directly into those sinister eyes. If I had known that this aunt was coming, I wouldn't have dared to be late even if Brandish had the courage to do so.
No wonder he felt comfortable letting Wendy go on such a mission. She even came, so of course there was no need to worry about safety issues.
Including those who were conducting undercover investigations there, there were four people.
Is it really necessary?
Thinking about this lineup, Brandish couldn't help but pray in her heart for the 'Light' guild that was about to be attacked.
But before that, she herself... seemed to be unable to protect herself...
"Are they those troublemakers from 'Fairy Tail' again?!"
Just when a mysterious guild was taking action, in the meeting room of the "Magic Council", a bearded congressman wearing a hat angrily pressed the report on the table.
"Look! They clashed with the army at the port, destroyed the city, and destroyed the buildings. What is the difference between them and the dark guild?!"
"...Don't say that. Personally, I quite like those guys. It's not a serious problem anyway, and they are all very talented. How about just forgetting about it?"
"Shut up! Jellal!"
The blue-haired boy who tried to defend a certain guild continued to smile, and did not pay attention to the bearded councilor's subsequent whispers about 'Why can such a brat be a council member?'
"Well...it's exactly what Jellal said, this time..."
With someone at the beginning, those on Fairy Tail's side among the reviewers naturally would not miss this opportunity to relax, and finally suppressed the chain reaction caused by those farces.
…
"Huh... thank you for always speaking up for the pony guild, Jellal."
"Yeah, it's really too much for us alone."
After the meeting was dismissed, the two old men who had been helping "Fairy Tail" in the meeting kindly thanked the blue-haired young man.
"That's not the case, Congressman Yajma, Congressman Rob."
"As far as their talents are concerned, I really admire them. And this little thing is nothing compared to the help you gave 'there' to Grandpa Rob back then."
Recalling a certain past incident that Jellal mentioned, Councilor Rob felt a little sad. The kid who was a slave with him back then actually became a councilor with him again.
I really want to thank the mysterious man who destroyed the "Tower" and changed their destiny.
After saying goodbye to each other again, the two old men, who felt that their future was formidable, walked towards the door of the parliament, but Gerald did not leave, but returned to his usual office.
Looking at the crescent-shaped communicator on the table, the blue-haired young man smiled.
