Chapter 46 Bizarre Ways of Greeting
Chapter 46 Bizarre Ways of Greeting
The other two regular meetings in Kulobala Town proceeded as scheduled.
With nothing else to do, Chase took the dark magic girl and wandered aimlessly through the surrounding mountains and forests, looking for some magical beasts and birds of prey to stretch their muscles (and beat them up).
It is worth mentioning that during lunchtime in the middle of the meeting, Makarov received a magical letter from Mira.
The letter was simple: Erza, Natsu, and Gray were teaming up.
The phantom of Mira in the letter looked very happy, thinking that this team might be the strongest team in the guild at present, so she wanted to share it with Guild Master Makarov as soon as possible.
She also specifically mentioned having Lucy along to prevent Natsu and Gray from fighting each other when Erza couldn't see them.
Mira was quite satisfied with her "perfect arrangement".
Makarov, after learning the situation, panicked and his hand holding the letter trembled uncontrollably.
Even Chase, whom he kept by his side, managed to find time to blow up the neighboring hilltop.
Putting aside their strength for now, let's just talk about their ability to destroy a house.
Erza, Natsu, and Gregor together are roughly equal to two Chess!
"I can go back tomorrow. I really hope those three guys don't cause any trouble like tearing the city down while they're gone..."
"We need to keep a close eye on Chess too. He finally got his revenge because of the Island of the Demon's Ruins..."
Makarov prayed silently in his heart.
In response to his cautiousness, the strongest squad over there, well...
They have brilliantly destroyed half of Osibana Station, a section of the Westca Canyon Railway, and three train cars!
Of course, this damage was caused by a fierce battle with Erigor, Kageyama, and others from the Iron Forest in order to stop the Dark Guild's conspiracy to harvest souls.
Unlike Chess's incident, Erza and her group's actions were known only to themselves, without the confirmation of the Magic Weekly editor or the island's tourists.
Time slips away quietly.
By the time Chase and the girl finished their adventures and returned to the mansion, it was already sunset.
Many of the presidents who lived nearby had already left, leaving only a small number who would have to stay another night to catch their train the next morning.
In the hills near the mansion, Makarov sat alone in a corner, engrossed in reading the newly released photobook from the Magic Weekly.
"The girls in this issue are all of superb quality, it's a pity that the Arcane Girls series featuring Mira and Dark Magician has been shelved."
"What a pity, I really wanted to see it..."
The old pervert Makarov sighed deeply, but his gaze never left the colorful photo album.
Just then, a man with bandages wrapped around his body suddenly came into his field of vision.
It was Kageyama, a member of the dark guild Iron Forest who had escaped Erza and the others' pursuit.
"Huh? What's this injured young man doing here?"
Makarov noticed the skull flute being held in the other's hand, and a look of seriousness flashed across his eyes.
"Hey! Young man, with such serious injuries, you shouldn't be wandering around. It's better to stay in the hospital!"
He suppressed his surprise and greeted them with a smile.
The sudden commotion startled Kageyama, who was about to sound the alarm to harvest the souls of the association presidents in the Lalabai mansion.
Upon recognizing Makarov, he tried to cover it up with a slightly flustered expression, saying, "Ah? No, nothing, I just came out for some fresh air."
Come here to get some fresh air near this meeting place in the middle of nowhere?
Makarov, seeing through the situation but saying nothing, pointed to the flute in the other person's hand and asked, "Is that a musical instrument? It's quite a strange shape."
"Yes, yes, I am actually a musician. Could you please listen to me play a piece?" Kageyama, quick-witted, scratched his head and smiled sheepishly.
"I see. Then hurry up, I'm in a rush."
Makarov put away his photo album, jumped off the stone pier, and walked straight to Kageyama.
Heh, they're so easy to fool, Fairy Tail can grow long...
A shadowy glint flashed in Kageyama's eyes as he raised the Lalabai to his lips.
As long as this flute is played, even high-ranking, respectable guild leaders like Makarov will perish instantly, their souls annihilated!
Meanwhile, in the bushes further away from the two.
Chase met with a group of club presidents who had already suspected something, and hid to watch the show.
Several figures hurried over from a distance, breaking the silence of the scene.
It was Erza, Natsu, Gray, Happy, and Lucy who had come to Crobala Town after chasing the Dark Guild!
"Huh? All the presidents are here? And Chess is here too..." Lucy looked surprised.
Compared to her surprise, Natsu was not so calm. He raised his voice, ready to loudly announce the Iron Forest's conspiracy.
"Fairy Tail little guys, this is the exciting part, so don't make a ruckus!"
Goldman, the leader of the Four-Headed Hounds, beat Natsu to the punch by making a shushing gesture.
After saying that, he smiled and gestured with his eyes to Makarov, who was alone with Kageyama.
Upon seeing their leader, the members of the strongest team felt reassured and immediately calmed down.
This gave Bob, the president of the Blue Pegasus Guild, an opportunity to take advantage of the situation.
This pervert's eyes were gleaming with red hearts as he chased after Natsu and Gray, trying to get close to them.
Knowing how "terrifying" the other party was, Natsu and Gray avoided him at all costs.
The shocking scene gave Lucy goosebumps, and she whispered to Happy about the other person's identity and background.
Erza was used to this. After giving some instructions, she stepped into her steel boots and came to Chess and the Dark Magician Girl.
"It's been a long time, Chess, Dark Magician Girl."
"Hey, Erza, long time no see."
After exchanging greetings, the two stared at each other in silence for two and a half seconds.
Suddenly, Erza struck first, pressing down on Chess's head with lightning speed.
Chess smiled and did not resist, but his eyes narrowed and he quickly mobilized his magic to gather at his forehead.
then……
Erza pressed down on Chess's enhanced head and slammed it against her broad chest encased in steel armor.
Boom!
A crisp sound of metal clashing rang out.
"Oh? Not bad, Chess. It seems you've grown quite a bit stronger this past year on the continent of Giltina!"
"Haha, Erza's armor is much tougher than before."
The two men smiled at each other after the collision.
"I've heard about what happened on the Island of the Demon's Ruins. You're something else, making such a big commotion as soon as you got back."
"It's alright, anyway, I've pretty much destroyed the whole island."
"I see. So you want to reclaim the throne of the Destroyer King? That won't be easy."
"As for you, Erza, I've heard quite a bit about your deeds on the continent of Giltina."
"Really? What exactly is it?!"
……
Watching the two chatting happily, Lucy blinked blankly, her lips twitching slightly.
So, is this a unique way Chess greets Erza?
Okay, that's weird.
It's so bizarre I don't even know where to begin complaining...
