Chapter 293: Camping on Sirius Island
Kira's proposal was agreed by Gildarts and Laxus, but rejected by Mira and Erza.
"What? You don't have any sense of adventure! We are Fairy Tail! The name of the guild represents endless unknowns and adventures! Why would you refuse?!"
Somewhere on Tenrou Island, in the Fairy Tail camp, five figures were preparing for the S-rank assessment three days later, setting up tents, making fires, collecting firewood, and cleaning kitchen utensils...
Everyone is busy!
It turns out that the thigh cannot twist the arm.
In response to Kira's complaints, Erza just put her hands on her hips and shouted, "The exam is the most important thing now! And this is the guild's holy land, not some MapleStory!"
At this time, Erza put on an apron over her dress, and held a half-person-high iron spoon in her hand, a real cook's outfit; Mira was happily helping her beside her, with her usual smile on her face.
"Really... It's like a nagging mother worrying about her children who are about to take the college entrance examination..."
Kira muttered quietly as he and Gildarts frantically set up the tent.
But neither of them had any experience in this area, so they got half the result with twice the effort. Of course, this was also due to the fact that they had been playing all the time.
Tap tap...
The footsteps gradually approached, and Laxus came out of the forest carrying a pile of firewood. When he saw Kira and Gildarts playing around, his expression was stunned for a moment, and then turned into anger as if he had been fooled.
"What on earth are you two doing?! Aren't you supposed to be setting up a tent?"
Kira turned around and waved, "Hey, you've worked hard, Laxus! Now that you're back, I'll let you take care of setting up the tent! This thing is too difficult to handle, Gildarts and I are totally helpless!"
"If that's the case, why did you rush to do it just now?!"
Although Laxus was extremely unhappy at this time, Kira still pretended not to notice his anger, and just said lazily: "Because I have never tried it, I want to give it a try! But now I find that I can't do it, so I want to hand it over to you ! Besides, you are Lei, so you can collect firewood faster..."
"Asshole! Do you think I use lightning to travel all the time?"
Kira pretended not to hear, took the firewood from Laxus and ran to the side: "Then the tent is left to you, and life is left to me!"
As he said this, he took out a thick branch from the firewood pile with both hands and began to drill the wood to make fire.
Laxus got even angrier: "You're still drilling wood to make fire? Are you a primitive man? If you want to make fire, can't you just use magic to make it right away?"
"What do you know? This is how we get into the atmosphere of camping!" Kira retorted, "If we use magic, wouldn't that be cheating?"
Before Laxus could say anything, Gildarts came over first, his eyes sparkling, watching Kira's movements with interest: "Oh! It looks very interesting! How about we compete to see who can get the fire first?"
He is obviously a middle-aged man in his sixties, but at this moment he acts like a teenager.
"I'll stick with you till the end!"
Chattering...
The sound of firewood turning was heard, and Laxus's anger increased by +1+1...
"This is so fun! Isn't Laxus coming?"
"How could he do such a thing? He must be thinking of beating us, but he can't bring himself to compete!"
"You two..."
Laxus' face turned red with anger. He growled, rolled up his sleeves and walked forward... sat next to the two of them and started to make fire by rubbing two sticks together.
"Stop looking down on others!!!"
Sob sob sob sob…
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Erza appeared behind the three of them at some point , raised her hand and hit each of them on the head with an iron spoon: "You three, work hard!!"
One minute later...
"combustion!"
"flame!"
Kira squatted in front of a small pile of firewood with a look of despair, shooting with both hands and casting a fire magic with one hand.
Boom! Whoosh!
As the words fell, the word magic took effect. The magic used magic power as fuel and words as the medium. The firewood was instantly ignited and a raging fire rose.
On the other side, Gildarts stood in front of rows of wood, raised his hands and chopped off a pile of wood stakes with his masterly crushing magic in just a few strokes; as for Laxus, although he had already done the work of collecting firewood, he was still helping to set up the tent.
There was no other way. If they really relied on Kira and Gildarts, they might have to sleep on the ground or in a tree tonight.
"Really? If we want to build a shelter, can't we just use magic to build it right away? Why do we have to work so hard?" Kira stood up and walked over, looking at the two people who were busy, and said, "Just like the magic of the Muzhu family, I don't know if it can be done..."
Laxus hammered the stake into the ground and said angrily, "Stop making so much noise! If you can do it, do it now. If you can't, shut up and stay in the corner! Stop making sarcastic remarks here!"
He was the only one who couldn't help, so he could only use more strength.
After hearing his words, Kira thought for two seconds, then turned and walked towards Mira and Erza: "Since you said so, I will just let it go."
By the evening, all the work was done.
Several people set up the tent, organized the kitchen, and cleaned the campsite.
After a delicious meal, they started looking at the stars and chatting. They looked like a single father taking his four children out camping.
In the open space, a large and exquisite white cloth covered the artificially cut wooden floor, isolating the five people lying in a row on it from the ground. Without getting their clothes dirty, they could smell the fragrance of the soil in the air, see the twinkling stars in the night sky, and experience the watery night covering the entire Tianlang Island.
"That's great! Camping is so fun! Right?"
Kira put his hands behind his head, his sky-blue eyes reflecting the light of the stars above. At this moment, he didn't need to think about how to practice and use magic, nor did he need to worry about Zeref or the black dragon. He enjoyed this leisurely and peaceful atmosphere.
Hearing his words, Laxus, who was not far away, suddenly spoke up and cursed: "That's because you did almost nothing!"
Kira replied lazily, speaking inexplicably, "You are older, so you must do more! As the saying goes, 'Older people have to work harder'!"
Laxus complained crazily: "What do you mean by older?! Why do I have to do more when I'm older?! Who made this rule?! And there's no such thing as 'older people have to work harder'!"
"Well said!" Gildarts interrupted the two people's conversation with a thunderous voice. "Young people should experience more, otherwise when will they mature? This is what is meant by 'young people should work harder'!"
Laxus was even more indignant: "Stop it! You are a dishonest uncle! The saying 'young people should do more work' is outrageous!"
"You three are so noisy! Just rest in peace!"
At this moment, Erza also joined the conversation. "They have been making a lot of noise and talking non-stop since we set up the camp. They are so energetic. Is it puberty colliding with menopause?!"
The three of them fell silent instantly.
"Oh my! The way Erza talks now is just like Kira... No! It's exactly like those uncles who come to the guild tavern every day to drink and brag!"
"What did you say?!"
"Did you just say uncle?"
Mira's words directly offended the two of them, but Kira would not do anything strange, so Erza could only rely on herself for revenge.
In the peripheral vision, a red figure turned over and started to wrestle with the white voice. Soon, the two of them were arguing with each other like they used to in the guild. The scene was very intense.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk...is this really something I can watch?"
Unlike ordinary girls who grab hair and scratch ears during fights, Erza and Mira's fights are full of punches. Even though they are just playing now, they still hit each other in indescribable places with their palms.
Laxus was not interested in such things, and Gildarts treated them as his own children, so only Kira was appreciating the ultra-clear picture quality and lossless sound quality of the battle scene in front of him, and even gave instructions at the end.
"I should have used a little more force on that spot just now!"
"Erza, move your left hand a little more to the left... No, no, a little more to the right... Well done!"
"Mira, lower your waist a little more... lift your head a little more... oh, the posture is perfect, but the eyesight needs to be improved!"
"Hey wait! What do you want to do... don't go over... mmmmm..."
