Chapter 262 Lucy: My life is so miserable
After some explanation, everyone quickly learned about the miraculous experience that had happened to Lisana, and they were all genuinely happy for her safe return.
Seeing the three siblings reunited, the newcomers, Eclair, Mengmeng, and Ginana, were filled with emotion. They had already heard about Lisana's existence from their guildmates.
Just as the entire guild was overjoyed, Gildarts quietly approached the drunken Cana.
"Um, Kana, could you come with me? There's something I'd like to confirm with you."
Upon seeing the familiar Cana again, Gildarts became incredibly awkward and even struggled to speak coherently. His mind was filled with memories of Cana watching him from afar when he was away on work, and the scene of their first meeting.
"Honestly, why don't you just say it here?" Kana frowned, feigning impatience.
Seeing the unprecedented pleading in Gildarts' eyes, she trembled slightly and rose from her knees.
He followed Gildarts with unwavering determination.
For some reason, Lucy's heart suddenly started beating very fast. She noticed the two people walking out of the guild gate one after the other. After a brief moment of surprise, she guessed the reason and a faint smile appeared on her lips. She clenched her fist and cheered Gildarts on in her heart: "You can do it!" Although Gildarts is a strange woman who is drunk all the time, to be honest, she and Cana have a pretty good relationship. In their spare time, they often talk about Natsu and Chess's dark history - mainly because she, being the gossip, inquires about it.
Therefore, Lucy was very happy to see Cana reunite with her father.
In contrast, Natsu, Happy, and Gajeel didn't have such a delicate mind. They kept bragging to their friends about Edolas' adventures, and even Wendy and Carla were surrounded by a lot of people.
"Ugh! Juvia wants to die! Lord Gray of Edolas actually likes Juvia!"
Jubia was filled with remorse, biting his nails as a dark shadow fell behind him, and a torrential downpour began.
Gray, standing nearby, breathed a sigh of relief—he couldn't even imagine what a massive social disaster would have happened if Juvia had gone there!
Chase didn't participate in the boasting; instead, he went with Erza to Makarov to report on their work on the Edolas trip.
"Divine Mage, World Guardian"
After hearing the details, even the well-informed Makarov couldn't help but show a hint of shock. "I never imagined that Edolas would face such a huge crisis!"
"Chess, you did a good job. Leaving Mistgang there was the right thing to do. Establishing a world portal and a Nexus early warning system were also essential measures. It seems you really have—"
Sensing that the old man's tone had suddenly become a little off, Chess quickly interrupted, "Actually, the main reason we have these ideas is because of Uncle Gildarts's full support. Oh, and Erza also helped a lot!"
Erza: ? ? ?
"You brat!" Makarov knew exactly what he was thinking and shook his head helplessly.
Erza noticed his exhaustion and asked with concern, "Guild Master, you look very tired. Did anything happen while we were gone?"
Makarov sighed heavily when this was mentioned.
"Not long after you set off, the council dispatched an investigation team to Magnolia. After all, such a strong magical fluctuation occurred, it certainly couldn't escape the eyes of those old guys."
"Although we had made preparations in advance, Nexus's cluster chaos cannon was just too powerful, and it involved Mystogan, who looked just like Geralt. To avoid unnecessary trouble, we couldn't explain things too clearly."
"Not only do I have to deal with the council's interrogations, but I also have to appease the residents of Magnolia. It's not easy for me!"
Thinking about how he'd been working like a dog these past two days, Makarov couldn't help but burst into tears. He tremblingly raised his hand to wipe away his tears. "If only someone were willing to step forward and help this old man share the burden!"
After saying that, he looked at Chess with teary eyes.
"Wait, isn't that super hot girl in the back a model from a photobook? When did she join our guild?"
"A photo model? Not at all!"
Old Ma, who was playing the victim, suddenly perked up and turned around with a lecherous grin.
There was nothing behind me except for a wine cabinet and tables and chairs. Where was the supermodel with a great figure?
Seeing Chase suddenly appear in the crowd, Makarov gritted his teeth in anger: "You, Chase, you even dared to lie to the old man like me!"
"That's because you're just too easy to fool, President," Erza said earnestly.
"Isn't this obvious? What boy can resist the temptation of a beautiful woman!" Makarov said matter-of-factly.
"The allure of beautiful women?!"
Erza's pretty face inexplicably turned red. Out of the corner of her eye, she glanced at Chess, who had instantly blended into the atmosphere and started boasting. She couldn't help but think of her treasured Temptation Armor.
If I were to wear that suit of armor, I might not be able to handle it!
Chase's girlfriend in Edolas is Mira!
Upon realizing this "fact" she had witnessed, Erza's eyes suddenly dimmed, and she lowered her head in despair.
As it was getting late, and in order to give Mira, Elfman, and Lisanna some time alone, Makarov rejected Natsu's suggestion to host a welcome celebration party, saying that they would discuss it tomorrow.
At the same time, there is ample time to inform members who are working away from home of this fantastic good news.
As the sun sets, night falls over the entire Magnolia.
Chess's exquisite little house.
"Hahaha, Chess's house is so comfortable!" Natsu buried his head in the soft sofa.
"You guys keep chatting, I'm going to take a shower." Gray had no shame whatsoever. He took off his clothes in public and walked towards the bathroom with ease, completely naked.
Happy started rummaging through the refrigerator, complaining that the fish inside had disappeared.
Compared to the unbridled behavior of these guys, Erza and Lucy were relatively normal; they simply sat on the sofa and brewed some Chase's black tea.
"Excuse me, Chess," Wendy greeted politely.
When she first arrived at the Chase family home, she was curious about everything around her. Seeing the exquisite and luxurious furniture, she couldn't help but secretly admire Chase's wealth.
Xia Lulu stood with her hands on her hips, scolding Habi for not having any manners.
"So, why did you all follow me—"
Chess sighed, rubbing his forehead. "Shouldn't the Fairy Tail branch meeting room and the strongest team's rest room be at Lucy's house?!"
Natsu jumped up from the sofa and laughed, "Chess, you reminded me, Happy. After we finish eating here, let's go to Lucy's house to sleep!"
"Ah! Although our house isn't as spacious as Chess's, it's still nice to go there for fun once in a while!"
Harpy promptly raised his paw in agreement.
The dialogue, though brief, was full of flaws, and Lucy immediately got angry and started jumping up and down.
"Don't make such a decision so casually! Wadashi is still alive and well! What do you mean by 'our home'? That's my home! My home! Dead cat, are you sure it's really 'occasional'? And Chess, what the hell are you talking about with the Fairy Tail branch and the strongest squad's rest room?!"
Watching Lucy rattle off all her complaints in one go, Happy spread his arms wide and said admiringly, "In a way, she truly lives up to her reputation as Lucy~"
"Tch, stingy." Natsu curled his lip in disdain.
"I'm talking to you guys!!" Lucy's teeth turned into jagged edges, and spittle flew everywhere.
Knowing how shameless these two were, she turned to Erza and said, "Erza, look at them!"
"Erza?"
Erza seemed preoccupied, only snapping out of her reverie when Lucy called out to her. She slowly put down her teacup: "Ah, Lucy, what did you just say?"
Lucy: "...—"
My life is so hard!
