Chapter 174 Lucy's Progress, Celestial Robe!
The next day, Fairy Tail guild.
Despite the terrible incident yesterday and the fact that our companions' injuries haven't fully healed, the noisy atmosphere was no less than usual, and perhaps even more lively.
Since the Harvest Festival was still ongoing, even members who were able to accept commissions were gathered in the guild hall drinking and chatting, waiting for the grand magical parade that evening.
The only saving grace is that, having had their fill of civil war, they no longer resort to physical fights at the slightest provocation, but instead engage in verbal sparring and mutual insults.
For Fairy Tail, this scene could be considered quite harmonious!
"What a bunch of reckless guys! I always say don't order so much alcohol when you're injured—"
Mira, dressed in a burgundy gown, returned to the bar, put down her empty plate, and sighed deeply.
"What does it matter? They're not the type to drink themselves to death," Chess said with a smile as he sat across from them.
Mira glanced sideways and saw the large beer mug he was holding. Her beautiful brows furrowed instantly, and she put her hands on her hips, adopting a serious expression: "And Chase, you too!"
The sudden serious expression left Chase a little confused: If he remembered correctly, Mira usually didn't seem to restrict her friends' drinking much, so why was she acting so strangely today?
That's what he thought, but he still silently put down his wine glass.
Lucy, sitting not far away, watched the whole thing unfold, shook her head, and thought to herself:
Even I could tell that Mira simply didn't want her time with you to be constantly disturbed, yet she didn't realize it at all!
A bad player is a bad player, no wonder he's single!
Although she herself is emotionally clueless, even more oblivious than Natsu and Gajeel, she can surprisingly analyze others quite well.
It's true that the best relationship gurus have never been in a relationship.
Over there, seeing Chase obediently put down his wine glass, Mira's tightly furrowed brows finally relaxed.
"By the way, Chess, you secretly filmed yesterday's civil war with Kuriboh, didn't you?"
She discovered the existence of Kuriboh by chance when she defeated Fried, and also understood the fundamental reason why Chase was willing to let his companions "kill each other".
"That's right, record all the footage so that the Dark Magician can see if there's room for improvement."
Chase nodded, not surprised that Mira had discovered this.
Upon receiving an affirmative answer, Mira smiled sweetly and remarked, "You've always cared about everyone."
"Haha, of course! After all, we can make a fortune by selling the well-organized cultivation guide to them at a high price."
Chess said matter-of-factly, "Hmm—ten thousand each."
No matter what, it's the result of the hard work of Dark Magician and Dark Magician Girl, so there's no reason to give it away for free.
"Huh? I thought it was free." Mira's smile froze on the spot.
"Don't worry, Mira, it's free. After all, you helped a lot with the construction of the new house." Chase waved his hand generously.
Mira's weakness is quite obvious even without the Dark Magician's special analysis: her magic power is too low, and she will basically collapse after receiving a wave of demon souls.
If this pain point can be overcome, and multiple demon states can be received for a long time or even simultaneously, then the combat power will be absolutely amazing!
By then, he could try to fight Mira hand-to-hand and blew the card out of her.
However, on the other hand, Mira's weakness is caused by her self-imposed isolation of her magic for more than two years, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to cure in a short time.
The best solution, of course, is to directly activate the "second magic source" that can store more magic power.
Unfortunately, the magical world doesn't have the relevant concepts or theories yet, so even if we bring Ultear over, it won't help.
Lucy, who was eavesdropping on their conversation, shrank back and quietly moved away from Chase, trying her best to make herself as inconspicuous as possible.
As the first person to receive the cultivation guide, she was terrified that Chase would come back to her asking for money.
One hundred thousand is an enormous sum that is absolutely unbearable for a poor person who only has a few thousand dollars to his name!
"The daughter of the richest man in the country has fallen to this state, it's unbelievable." "Speaking of which, Lucy seems to have mentioned it to me during a casual chat."
Mira propped her cheek on one hand, smiling as she looked at the blonde girl who seemed to be stealing a glance. "You devised a training plan for Lucy over a month ago, didn't you?"
Lucy, who was called out, was startled and jumped back: Mira, you didn't let me off the hook either!
Seeing that there was no way to avoid it, Lucy rolled her eyes, moved closer to Chase, lifted her right leg, and struck a sweet and cute (in her own opinion) seductive pose.
"Kind-hearted Chess, the bond between siblings can't be measured in money. You certainly won't ask me for money, right?"
"Oh, since it's a test subject, I never intended to charge you in the first place, so I wouldn't be held responsible if anything went wrong." Chase's face remained completely expressionless.
Although the magic that the Dark Magician is good at differs from that in the Fairy Tail world, since the consistently meticulous Dark Magician is willing to use it, there is naturally no problem with it.
However, for some reason, looking at Lucy in this state, Chase inexplicably had the urge to scare her.
Upon hearing this, Lucy's alluring expression changed drastically; she was clearly quite frightened: "So I was just your guinea pig on your money-making journey?!"
Seeing her strong reaction, Chase couldn't help but laugh out loud, and looked at Mira with a sigh, "Harpy is right."
Lucy is so easy to fool!
"It seems that way."
Mira, unusually, didn't speak up for Lucy and laughed happily with Chase.
"Get the hell out of here, you stinking bastard!"
Lucy instantly transformed into a tooth-saw-like figure, with Tomozo's stars raining down on Chase's face.
Why not just kick Nazhabi away like you did?
Because she doesn't have that courage yet—
"Love~ This is what they call sibling affection~" Happy stood on the bar, spread his hands, shook his head and sighed.
Chase took the tissue Mira handed him and wiped his face. He looked at Lucy, who had regained her composure, and said in a deep voice, his smile fading, "Whether it's Lucy or your guildmates, I truly hope you all become stronger so that you can better protect yourselves."
A short sentence completely extinguished Lucy's anger: "Chesco, you—"
"If they're too weak, there's no point in beating them up."
"So that's what protection is!!" Lucy, the Dragon Slayer Mage, reappeared.
Recalling Chesgo's all-out attack, and her own determination to become stronger that she had just resolved last night...
Suddenly I lost my motivation.
"By the way, Lucy, how's your training going?" Mira blinked her beautiful eyes and asked curiously.
"Well, there hasn't been much progress," Lucy said, her eyes darting around, looking somewhat guilty.
In fact, the guidebook given by the Dark Mage was very useful. Born into the Celestial Spirit family of Heartfilia, she was also very talented, and she had been working hard all along.
Therefore, considerable progress was made in just over a month.
When Loki gave her travel vouchers to go to the resort, Crooks of the Southern Cross told her about the "Celestial Robe," an advanced form of celestial magic that allows one to transfer celestial power into oneself.
That's right, Lucy is now qualified to come into contact with this magic!
Since the principle behind Celestial Clothes is similar to that of costume magic, Lucy asked Erza many questions last night.
With Erza's help and guidance, and after countless attempts, she finally achieved a thrilling...
Upon entering the Celestial Cloak - Canis Minor form, I gained the ability to experience Parkinson's tremors!
Cough cough, it is a bit weak, it might not even reach the combat power of the original body.
But without a doubt, this made Lucy feel incredibly accomplished, and she was thinking of sharing this joy with Chase today.
Now, she doesn't dare to say.
Let alone a head-on fight, even in Canis Minor form, if I were to take a single punch from Chesgo, I'd probably be sent flying a great distance!
