Chapter 33 Gray's Nickname
I’m not sleepy anymore if you say this!
Erza, who was sitting next to her, introduced to Lucy: "Kira's Hope Hut is the largest magic shop in Magnolia. Everyone in the guild bought their magic items there - my armor too."
"Yes, yes. Magic potions, magic weapons, magic toys, magic books... You can buy anything you want, and you can even customize it." Kira suddenly became excited. "As long as it's produced by Hope House, the quality is guaranteed, and there is a three-year maintenance period."
Kira started selling again: "I made these props with great care. They are very good. Everyone who has used them says they are good. Not only the guild, but my magic equipment is sold to the entire Kingdom of Fiore. I also have frequent trade exchanges with neighboring countries. I have made a significant contribution to Magnolia's GDP every year. The same goes for books. The books that the Magnolia Orphanage uses to teach children are written by me."
"What?!"
"Really?"
"Hey...I've never heard of such a thing!"
Lucy was a little speechless: "I'm surprised, but you guys don't know either?"
Kira chuckled. "They are not the type of people who would pay attention to economic development and education. I have a great influence in Magnolia. Who knows, I might become the mayor someday! When the time comes, I will move our guild to the central street of Magnolia."
As the daughter of the Heartfilia Group, even though she had not received systematic training, Lucy had the necessary vision from the influence of her surroundings since she was a child, so she knew how much impact the ability to boost the economy had on a city.
Yulu couldn't help but exclaim: "You made all these props and weapons by yourself? And you can even go out to complete missions from time to time, you are really amazing!"
While Lucy still had a good impression of him, Kira seized the opportunity to expand his customer base: "My store is very popular in Magnolia, Lucy can also find time to come and have a look!"
At this time, Gray beside him said, "Lucy, you should be interested in the Star Spirit Key, right? Didn't you get a golden key in the previous mission?"
Great assist Gray! I was just thinking about how to bring this up casually!
Hearing Gray's words, Lucy was really moved. She could ignore all the potions, armor, and weapons he mentioned before, but the Star Spirit Key was what she had been collecting: "Really? Do you have the Star Spirit Key too?"
Here it comes! The big fat sheep is here! I have been preparing for so long, just waiting for you to say this! ! ! !
Kira knew that Lucy had an inseparable bond with the Celestial Spirits, so no matter how expensive it was, she would spend money to buy the golden key in her hand.
After all…Lucy, you don’t want to see the Star Spirit suffer at my hands, do you?
Kira had a mysterious smile on his face. "Yes, but I only have the key to the Golden Zodiac. I got the key to Sagittarius in the previous mission. If Lucy wants it, I can sell it to you at a lower price."
"Really??!!!"
Sure enough, no celestial wizard could refuse the shiny golden key.
Lucy's eyes were shining, she couldn't stop smiling, and her heart was filled with excitement and joy.
This is awesome, I didn't expect to get this kind of reward! Fairy Tail is the right place to come!!
Kira was happy, Lucy was happy, and Erza was happy too, because she felt that this was a win-win situation, as Kira could earn money and Lucy could get the key.
Well, partners should love each other like this...
Erza never cares about the issue of price or not, she is not short of money.
Among the four, only Gray regretted what he had just said sorry for Lucy, because he knew that Lucy would definitely be badly cheated by Kira, just like Cana used 500,000 J to buy ten cards. She might even be worse off than Cana.
You know, cards are not unique like golden keys.
At this moment, he even suspected that Kira had known that Lucy would come, so he took on the mission on Karna Island.
"No... it shouldn't be possible... something like this..."
Seeing Gray shaking his head and talking to himself as if he was having an epileptic seizure, Kira was a little confused: "Gray, what's wrong with you?"
"No... nothing... just thought of something..."
"You must have caught a cold! I told you not to take off your clothes all the time..."
"I'm an ice wizard, I won't catch a cold easily..."
After a moment of silence, Kira suddenly spoke up: "Gray, do you want to give yourself some more characteristics? I think your current personality is not acceptable and it will damage the reputation of our guild."
"Your change of topic is too abrupt!!!"
Kira said to himself: "Look, in the magic world, powerful magicians all have nicknames. People refer to me as the Sage, Erza as the Fairy Queen, and I heard that Natsu is now called the Fire Dragon King, but what about you? You don't even have a resounding nickname! Are you not as good as Natsu?"
Gray: “…”
"Even Leon, who was similar to you, has a nickname like Zero Emperor, but you don't. We can't call you Ice Boy, can we? It would be too pitiful to use the magic of a wizard as a nickname."
Do you want to give your friends nicknames? That sounds interesting.
The two women present suddenly became interested, especially Erza. She liked these things very much, which was very similar to Kira.
"When it comes to nicknames, they should be based on characteristics, right? Does Gray have any unique characteristics?"
Kira blurted out, "He takes off his clothes really fast!"
"Well... this is a bit difficult!"
"It's so noisy!! Kira, can't you just be quiet!!!" Gray cursed. He didn't dare to say anything about Erza, nor could he say anything about Lucy, so he had to target Kira.
"All right."
A minute later, Kira suddenly spoke up: "What do you think of Ice Knight or Ice Warrior?"
Gray: Shut up!
Lucy: “Not bad!”
Erza: "I think Ice Warrior is good!"
The three of them spoke at the same time, then looked at each other for two seconds, and then turned away.
Kira felt that they had exchanged thousands of words in that moment.
There was a brief silence for a minute.
"Speaking of which, I have a question. Legend has it that if you hear the sound of Lalabai's flute, you will die. Does that mean the user will die?"
"Who knows about this?"
"Since there are such records, someone must have used it. Was there no record at the time?"
This question seemed a bit beyond the scope. Except for Lucy, the other two people were not fond of reading. But even Lucy was not sure, so the four of them fell into a brief silence...
"Should we give it a try?"
"Are you an idiot? How can you do that!" ×3
"But, that means they wouldn't realize the flute was swapped until the last moment, right?" Kira smiled kindly, "How pitiful!"
…
"What did you say? Someone is provoking us in Kunuki? Who is it?"
In the Iron Forest, Eligore was furious as he looked at his men who came to report the news with bruises all over their faces.
"It's 'Fairy Tail'!!!"
"How many people are there?"
"One...one..."
"You mean, with so many of you guys being beaten like this by just one person, you still have the nerve to come back?"
"Lord Eligore... uh..."
Before he could finish his words, the invisible sharp wind blade cut dozens of wounds on the poor extra. Blood spurted out immediately, his eyes gradually lost focus, and he fell to the ground.
"Fairy Tail? Good! I'll start with you!" Eligore turned around and flew towards Kunuki with a sickle.
At this time, Kageyama, who didn't know that the Lalabai in his hand had already been replaced, walked towards the hotel. He was originally planning to take the train to Kunuki immediately and reunite with his companions to report to the boss Eligore. However, since there were no more trains today, he could only go back to the hotel to rest first.
After taking a comfortable bath to relieve the fatigue of the past few days, Yingshan fell asleep holding the wooden flute in his hands.
In the dream, he was appreciated by the boss for bringing back Larabai. Eligore completed his plan and killed the presidents of all the magic guilds who were holding regular meetings. The Iron Forest became one of the most famous dark guilds in the Kingdom of Fiore, and even became one of the Four Emperors alongside the Iron Triangle of the Balamu Alliance.
And he, Kageyama, finally got his chance to be proud of himself and became a famous figure in the dark guild, getting whatever he wanted.
“It feels so good!”
