Chapter 35: Head-stealing
"Ah, it's Lucy! And everyone else!" Natsu waved and greeted them with a smile, "I defeated everyone in the guild! There's only this one left, give me a minute, I'll defeat him right away!"
"It seems like Natsu has made a lot of progress recently." Erza sighed as she looked at the people in the Iron Forest who were stumbling around.
Kira, who was walking over, complained, "Come on, Natsu, you've already unleashed your Dragon Slayer Secret Technique, but you haven't dealt with the enemy yet? You still want to challenge Erza?"
Happy came over and explained for him: "Because Natsu just consumed too much energy in dealing with the other members!"
But how could Gray miss such a rare opportunity to make fun of him? "Anyway, he has been dragging his feet and still hasn't taken down the opposing guild leader. Natsu is just lame! Let me do it! I can take care of him in three moves!"
Provoking a general is indeed an ancient and practical military tactic.
Upon hearing this, Natsu immediately yelled, "Don't do anything, this is my fight, I can defeat him alone!"
Just when Natsu was engulfed in flames again and was about to rush forward to end the fight once and for all, Killer came out to grab the kill.
"Okay Natsu, leave the rest to us."
That’s enough, your output is enough, leave the final kill to me!
The current lineup has maxed out physical attack and magic, and there is no shortage of mages, swordsmen, summoners, and even cute pets. If there are five people in a group here, then shouldn't the boss kill go to Kira, the all-purpose assistant?
Natsu angrily refused, "No! This is my opponent!"
The fight has come to this point, who would be willing to give up their lives?
"You've already used your ultimate move, how long should I wait for you? I want to go back and rest!" Kira made up an excuse and then activated the Word Spirit magic instantly, "Word Spirit Shape, Bind!"
Magic power surged, and the words instantly formed a condensed energy, instantly pinning Natsu to the ground and binding him tightly. He could neither use his magic power nor move at all.
The teammates are immobilized, it’s time to get the kill!
"Damn it! Kira, let me go!" Natsu squirmed and struggled on the ground like a silkworm pupa, which made Gray and Happy laugh.
"You've fought enough just now, I'll be the one to defeat him in the end!"
Patting Natsu's restless pink head, Kira took two steps forward and shouted to Eligore in the air: "Hey! Change of players!"
Unfortunately, Eligore was a blind guy who didn't recognize Kira. When he saw the opponent changing players, he thought that Natsu was no longer capable and the opponent had to take turns fighting. So he proudly rose into the air and looked down at everyone in front of him, laughing arrogantly.
"Even if they changed people, what would happen? Even if there were ten more Fairy Tail guys..."
Before he could finish his words, Kira made a move: "Addition of Word Spirit, Gravity!!"
It was as if mountains fell from the sky, instantly pressing Eligore from high altitude to the ground. The invisible gravity pressed a large circular pit on the ground. Eligore was lying face down in the pit, and not even a hair could fly.
"How is this possible?!" Eligore was shocked, but because his face was pressed to the ground, he couldn't say a word. "Who is he who can use such a powerful gravity magic?"
Before I could figure it out, I suddenly felt my whole body lighten. It was Kira who made another move. He raised his right hand lightly and said, "Buoyancy!"
As a result, Eligor flew uncontrollably for dozens of meters. Although he was off the ground, he was still unable to move, and even unable to use magic, as if the area around him had become a world dominated by the person on the opposite side.
As if he had anticipated what this guy was going to do, Eligore shouted desperately: "Stop! Stop now!!"
However, the sound that finally came out of the throat did not spread as usual, but flew higher into the sky along with the buoyancy of the body.
Kira swung his hand down again: "Gravity!!!"
In less than a second, the surging gravity struck again, and this time, Eligore smashed a bigger and deeper hole in the ground, and he himself was knocked unconscious.
"Done!" Kira clapped his hands and waved to free Natsu from the restraints.
"Damn it Killer, this is my enemy!!" Natsu was furious. Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something. "Oh, right! Where's Larabai?"
As he said this, he was about to go over and turn Eligore over, but was stopped by Gray.
"Idiot, you ran away without even listening to what I said! We have already got Lalabai."
"So, are the president and the others safe?"
"Yes."
Natsu happily high-fived Happy, "That's great!"
"So...what do we do now?"
"Now that the enemy has been defeated and Larabai is in our hands, we should be able to return to the guild, right?"
Upon hearing this, Natsu seemed to be inspired again: "Oh! Great! I will fight Erza again after we go back!"
Erza shook her head unexpectedly: "No, we can't go back for the time being!"
"Huh? Why?" Natsu was confused, and Happy asked, "Are there any other questions?"
"Of course!" Kira stepped forward and patted Natsu on the shoulder, then pointed behind Natsu and said, "You have to deal with the damage and compensation for this place, Natsu!"
“What??!!!” Natsu’s face instantly dropped.
After finally defeating the enemy and protecting the president, I can now duel with Erza when I return. This should be triple the happiness. Why did this happen?
"What should we do, Natsu? We don't even get any reward for the mission this time!"
Natsu hugged Happy, and both he and the cat were in despair, crying over their meager savings.
A working teenager who has just reached adulthood and a six-year-old cat fight with gangsters for love and justice, damaging public property in the process, but no one is willing to help. If this plot were made into a drama, I guarantee that men would be silent and women would cry after watching it.
Compensation must be paid. After all, it is a fact that public property was damaged. Although Fairy Tail does things in a disorderly manner, they are all good citizens who abide by the law. They will never be vague when it comes to compensation. However, the amount of compensation depends on the court's decision.
We did stop the Dark Guild's riot, and the cost must have come from the Iron Forest's treasury!
Even if compensation is needed in the end, it will be sent to the guild, and Natsu will pay it back... Maybe Erza will provide some financial support. She was the one who took the lead in this matter, so she has to be responsible.
As for Kira? No one saw him take action. He just stood at a distance and said a few words. He did not cause any damage. All the damage was done by Natsu! What? A trap? Not at all! That was all caused by Eligore's own madness!
But Erza wasn't talking about compensation: "Since we're here, why don't we go to Clover to see the presidents and ask what to do with that Larabai."
"Just leave that thing here ," Kira said with a look of disdain on his face, "If the Council wants to accept it, let them come and get it in person. If not, it's mine!"
Kira's actions made Erza a little embarrassed. She frowned and said, "This is not a good thing. It will be very troublesome if the Council knows that you have such a thing."
Gray also felt that the demon created by Zeref should not be kept: "That's right Kira, I think we should just destroy it!"
"Ah , ah, this is really troubling. I'm a magic merchant. Asking me to hand over the magic items I've obtained is no different from asking Erza to hand over her treasured armor, asking Lucy to hand over her Celestial Key, asking Natsu to hand over the scarf around his neck, and asking Gray... well, it's impossible!"
"What do you mean?!"
"What's wrong? I see that the only thing that's unique about you is your clothes, but that's something you don't want..."
Erza stopped Gray from losing his temper: "Well, if you want to keep it, you have to make sure that it won't be used by anyone else in the future, otherwise you'll be in big trouble. I suggest you ask the president for his opinion."
It's Fairy Tail as expected, you are partial to our own people, you don't even care if they want to embezzle this kind of thing.
Kira smiled and nodded, "I know!"
After that, several people prepared to go to Clover Town.
