Chapter 380 The Date, An Attack from Raven's Tail
After returning Asuka, whose big eyes were filled with reluctance, to the future Alzac couple, Chess went alone to the hotel arranged by the Grand Magic Games officials for Team B.
Whether it was a coincidence or to avoid different teams from the same guild joining forces, their hotel was far away from Team A, so the two sides basically had no chance of meeting.
At this moment, the two Miras were sitting on the edge of the bed chatting about the various beautiful sights of Crocus, the City of Flowers.
Upon seeing Chess walk in, the two women immediately ended their conversation.
"You're a little late coming back, Chase," Mira said.
"I discussed the detailed rules with the old man and the others."
Chase sat down beside her, glancing around the somewhat empty room. "Where are Laxus, Gajeel, and Juvia?"
Because Makarov wanted to give Team A a little surprise, his plan was for Captain Chess to familiarize himself with the Grand Magic Games rules with the rest of the group and then pass them on to the members of Team B.
"They couldn't wait any longer, so they went out to play first," Mira from the other side explained.
"What a bunch of willful fools. I thought the Laxus people here were a bit more mature."
Chase shook his head, feigning a troubled expression and sighing.
"They're all like little kids; the only way to communicate the rules is through cards."
"What if it's Laxus who goes out to get the rules of the competition?" Mira asked, blinking.
"But then again..."
Chase clenched his fist and said seriously, "How could a small inn possibly confine the noble card dealer's free-spirited soul!"
"Oh my, he really is my boyfriend~"
Having received the answer she wanted, Mira's lips immediately curled into a satisfied smile.
Future Mira: I feel like I'm a little too much of a burden. "Speaking of which, aren't you planning to go for a stroll in town with Mr. Chase?"
She figured she probably needed some peace and quiet, so she slyly offered Mila a helping hand, "This is a very rare opportunity to be alone together~"
"Yes! Erza should be with me here right now!" Mira's eyes lit up.
Before the relationship was established, she might have hesitated a bit, worried that doing so would be unfair to Erza.
But now that she and Erza are both Chase's girlfriends, she naturally has no such concerns.
After a brief moment of joy, Miran looked guilty: "But then, won't you be unable to go out?"
The same people cannot appear at the same time; this is a rule that the president established from the beginning.
"It's alright, the Grand Magic Games last for a week, so it's perfectly fine to go out another day."
Mira smiled understandingly and said, "Besides, I'm a little tired now, so I can take a nap."
That last sentence is true; I'm mentally exhausted.
"Thank you so much!" Mira said, no longer standing on ceremony.
"Um, shouldn't we ask for my opinion?" Chase quietly raised his hand.
"I'll be angry if Chase refuses."
Mira, hands on her hips, cheeks puffed out, leaned close to Chase, her large, brown-blue eyes fixed on him, and said with feigned seriousness, "You really do get angry!"
"Since you've said that, there's no reason for you to refuse, right?" Chase stood up with a smile.
Watching the two leave, Mira sighed absentmindedly, "Boyfriend—"
Previously, she focused all her attention on Elfman, Lisanna, and the guild, and basically never thought about this kind of thing.
Now, influenced by my other self in another world, I've inexplicably developed a strong desire to be in a relationship.
"I was really shocked when I first arrived. I never expected that Crocus would become so developed in seven years."
Stepping out of the hotel, Mira happily linked arms with Chess's right arm, taking in the towering buildings on both sides of the street and the magical vehicles coming and going.
"So Mira, is there anywhere you want to go?" Chase asked casually, seemingly oblivious to the soft touch on his arm.
To be honest, he had absolutely no interest in shopping—he'd rather find someone to fight.
However, besides satisfying Mira's little "possessiveness," it's also a good opportunity to investigate the magical fluctuations around Krocas.
Although we need to wait until the third day of the Grand Magic Games when future Rogue and future Lucy arrive in succession to determine the current timeline, it's definitely a good idea to scout ahead of time.
What if it's another world that didn't appear in the original story?
"Hmm, let me think... the bustling central shopping street, the incredibly popular amusement park, the legendary Locaster Gardens—"
Mira was clearly well-prepared for a relaxing trip, rattling off place names one after another, her beautiful eyes sparkling with anticipation. "Of course, there's also Melculias, the Palace of the Lanterns!"
Chess was getting a little dizzy listening to this: "Aren't there any that's a bit more exciting? Like a card-based dueling arena?"
"How could there possibly be such a place!" Mira frowned slightly.
Who would go on a date to a place that sounds so improper!
"But speaking of thrills, there's a haunted house that's quite popular in the Magic Weekly," she said.
"A haunted house?"
For some reason, Chase suddenly pictured scenes from certain novels that he enjoyed reading. "Could that thing scare us?"
Needless to say, the Soul of Satan is amazing. Just Mira transforms into Happy's head and stands inside, and the staff of the haunted house would probably lose their jobs on the spot!
The level of fright was off the charts.
"If Chase wants to show off his boyfriend skills, I can try to act like a timid girl," Mira said, covering her mouth with a laugh.
"That would make it too dramatic. Let's go to the places you want to go." Chase shook his head.
Shopping streets and amusement parks are secondary; Melculias definitely wants to visit the Palace of the King in the city center.
If nothing unexpected happens, Wendy and Charlotte, who are moving in that direction, have most likely been spotted by the raven's tail.
So the two of them, having made their decision, walked and talked on the bustling street, attracting envious glances from many male passersby.
They hadn't been gone long when a scream drew their attention.
On the street square, a large group of girls surrounded a man, with pink heart-shaped special effects seemingly jumping around them.
Mira only glanced at "there" from afar, and her body began to move uncontrollably.
A surge of magical power followed, dispelling the repulsive strangeness.
As an S-class mage, she still had this much vigilance.
"In Crocus, where mages are everywhere, someone actually dares to use such forbidden charm magic." Mira's face instantly darkened.
"It looks like something more advanced."
Chase noticed that there were mages among the group of girls. "The development speed of magical items in seven years is really fast. I wonder if there are any more powerful ones."
After saying that, he stretched his limbs and walked straight over there.
Girls don't matter, this is a rare and reasonable opportunity to fight, and you won't get another chance if you miss it!
"Wait, wait, Chase!" Mira exclaimed in surprise.
The first thing she thought of, instead of Chase's safety, was whether the surrounding buildings were sturdy enough.
Fortunately, the imagined battle scene did not appear.
Someone was faster than Chase, punching the lewd man unconscious on the spot.
"Although I don't know who you are, it's best not to do such pointless things here."
A black coat fluttered in the wind, accompanied by the dull thud of wooden clogs on the broken ground, and a deep voice slowly drifted over.
Amidst the rioting crowd, a shiny bald head appeared.
Upon seeing the newcomer, Chase, who had "beaten him to the punch," sighed deeply and looked disappointed.
Mira, who had run right after him, recognized him: "Mr. Jura?"
"Miss Mirajane?"
Jura was taken aback at first, then said with relief, "So you guys really came to Crocus too."
Unlike his appearance seven years ago, when he wore some kind of tribal costume, he now wears more ordinary casual clothes, with a long black beard and a deep and steady aura.
"Yeah, long time no see!" Mira said.
Upon hearing this, a fleeting look of surprise flashed in Jura's eyes.
When the Sirius Group first returned, he went to visit Fairy Tail with Leon and the others, and also talked with Future Makarov about the dark guild Sin of Witches.
Although it's been some time since then, it's not necessary to use "long time no see," is it?
In the future, Jura didn't think much of it, taking it as just a casual greeting.
He glanced at the girls who, having broken free of their charm, were punching and kicking the lewd man, then turned back and asked, "Mr. Makarov should have come with you, right?"
"Yes, the president should be at the inn right now studying the specific procedures for the Grand Magic Games." Mira nodded.
"I should find an opportunity to pay him a visit."
In the future, Jura held Makarov in high esteem. After a moment of reflection, she glanced at Chase, who was standing sullenly beside Mira, and her expression suddenly became extremely serious.
Although it was only for a moment, he still sensed an extremely strong sense of oppression from this unfamiliar man he had never seen before.
The feeling was unbelievable even to himself—it was exactly the same as the four monsters ranked ahead of him, the Four Heavenly Kings of Ishgar who had long since transcended the realm of humanity!
Staring at the Fairy Tail crest on Chase's right arm, Future Jura said in a deep voice, "If I'm not mistaken, this should be your guild's newly registered S-rank card mage, right?"
This information was no secret among their brother guilds. In fact, on the way to Crocus that morning, Guild Master Barbama had emphasized it, convinced that the treacherous Makarov was definitely planning something big.
I never expected to meet you here.
"Oh dear, I forgot to introduce him, this is my boyfriend, Chase."
Mira belatedly realized that the Jura of this world did not know Chase.
"Boyfriend?!" Future Jura stared wide-eyed in disbelief. Despite his mature and composed appearance, he was only 33 years old this year. Seven years ago, he was 26, the same age group as Chase and Laxus.
However, as he gets older, his wife has been nagging him about marriage in recent years, which has become a source of great distress for him.
Strangely enough, as one of the top-ranked Archmages of the Ten Wizard Saints, he certainly has no shortage of admirers and female fans, but what's rather disheartening is that he still hasn't managed to find a girlfriend.
Mira tilted her head and thought for a moment, then added, "He's also Erza's boyfriend~"
Although it might not be good for her future self and Erza, since she was out with Chase, she didn't want to keep it a secret.
I can only ask the future president to help clarify things after they leave.
"He's...he's also the Fairy Queen Erza's boyfriend?!" Jura was completely stunned, somewhat doubting her ears.
Its shock level was even stronger than that of Chess, whose aura was comparable to that of the Four Heavenly Kings of Ishgar!
"Haha, that's exactly it."
Chess shamelessly admitted it, extending his hand towards the future Jura, "If we happen to meet at the Grand Magic Games, I look forward to your guidance, Mr. Jura."
Looking at all the participants in the Grand Magic Games, it's estimated that only Future Jura, ranked fifth among the Ten Wizard Saints, has the potential to unleash a powerful card.
"Definitely, definitely." Future Jura shook hands with him woodenly.
It wasn't until Chase and Mira gradually walked away and disappeared into the end of the bustling street that he came back to his senses from the shocking news.
"This Grand Magic Games seems to be—"
"We can't treat this festival like a joke anymore—"
While Chase and Mira were out and about on their dates, the other friends were also having their own adventures.
Gray and Juvia encountered Leon and Sheria. Leon fell in love with Juvia at first sight and made a bet on his own: "If we win the match, Juvia will come to Boa Hancock's Scale."
Lucy, Eclair, and Mengmeng always seem to run into all sorts of strange characters, which is exhausting.
Natsu and Happy, unsurprisingly, encountered Future Stinger and Rogue from Sabertooth, and learned from them that they had "killed" the dragon that raised them and become the third generation of Dragon Slayers.
The two Erzas playing cards at the inn were harassed by Aoiro Pegasus and his group. Fortunately, they noticed in advance and did not expose their alternate-world counterparts.
Time slipped away quietly in a relaxed and leisurely atmosphere, and soon it was nightfall.
Bright lights illuminated the entire city of Krocas, making it even more lively than during the day, with a variety of nighttime activities taking place.
Melcolias Palace, the front garden open to the public.
"Look, Xia Lulu! This is the castle where the king lives! It's so beautiful!"
Wendy and Charlotte walked along a quiet path surrounded by flowers, gazing with wonder at the magnificent palace ahead.
"Well, it is indeed more spectacular than the one over from Edolas."
Xia Lulu floated in mid-air, equally immersed in the visually stunning scenery before her.
"There's no one else here. I'm over there with Charlotte. Would you like to come out and take a look?" Wendy sensibly took out Chase's card.
"Really?!" The future Wendy in the card was full of excitement, her big eyes blinking.
"Of course!"
The two, who were communicating through cards, and Xia Lulu were completely unaware that in a dark corner nearby, a long-nosed man wearing a mask and a tall hat was staring at them with a sinister gaze.
He is Obra, a mage from Raven Tail, who was sent by Guild Master Ivan to target Fairy Tail.
To think that she would wander into such a deserted place without any warning, and then mutter to herself like that, Obra thought to himself with a cold laugh, and winked at the little devil perched on his shoulder with leaves on his back.
The magic he used, or more precisely, the imp's ability, could instantly deplete a mage's magic power, plunging them into a severe magic deficiency!
"Hehehe!"
The little devil let out a low, sharp laugh, using the cover of the bushes to approach Wendy like a ghost, then suddenly leaped out, opening its mouth full of ape teeth.
Then it jumped into a strong, powerful hand.
"Dare to attack our guild's most adorable mage? You must have been fully prepared, right?"
As if squeezing a mouse, Chase exerted only a little force, and the little devil let out a shrill scream.
