Chapter 401: Saying Goodbye with Respect
Since that grand wedding ceremony, Fairy Tail has returned to its previous life.
These lawless guys, apart from bickering and fighting every day, spend most of their time working for a living or paying off debts. And thanks to the rise of fame, the guild received 30% more tasks this year than in previous years, making it almost impossible for those small guilds to survive.
As the saying goes, 'It is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality'.
After receiving the 20 million J mission, Kira was in a state of euphoria for a long time. And because he is now the "Saint Ten", he is more famous, and has fans wherever he goes, especially young and beautiful girls who throw themselves at him, which makes Kira very annoyed. He can only hide in the Hope House and enjoy a short period of peace.
Fortunately, after a month of reflection, Kira began to seriously reflect on his behavior.
The transformation process was also very simple. One day, Kira was lying on a recliner and suddenly realized something: Why was he so against making money?
So, in the short period of time after that, Kira worked hard on several tasks, and even started a trading business while he was at the peak of his popularity.
There is no such thing as live streaming in this world, which means he is destined to not be able to earn hundreds of millions a month like internet celebrities. Fortunately, he is more or less a big star, and wherever he goes, people will give him face.
Today, he has narrowed down his business to selling only magic toys for children.
The result of this is that the new generation of children in the Kingdom of Fiore experience the fun of games and deepen their friendships with their peers through repeated pranks. Of course, more importantly, it makes them interested in magic.
The most popular one among them is the card game "Fairy Tail 3.0", which has now been renamed "Magic King". In addition to the members of "Fairy Tail", popular wizards from several other guilds have also been added, which can be regarded as an expansion pack.
As for what kind of deals , it is not known to outsiders.
In just half a year, with the vigorous promotion of several magic guilds and chambers of commerce, the "Magic King" card game occupied the game market in the Kingdom of Fiore.
Soon, the people of Magnolia discovered that Kira's living standard had greatly improved. He changed into a new set of clothes every few days, breaking the previous rule that "changing clothes means a big deal."
Afterwards, Kira returned to his previous leisurely life, every day he either went shopping or basked in the sun, took a few tasks in the guild from time to time, and went out for a trip to change his mood, and started living the retirement life of an old man in advance.
But, the most important thing is...
"Oh! There's a new grilled fish restaurant here! Bring the three kittens to try it!!"
"Hey! When did a dessert shop appear here? Let's take Erza and Wendy with us to try it out!!"
"Hey guys! A ramen restaurant? Come on, come on, today it's my treat !"
"Izakaya? Come on, Kana, let's try something different today!"
“Paella? Not bad, not bad. This is affordable. I’ll come here often!”
"Couples restaurant? I'll introduce customers to you, give me a discount? No? Call your boss!"
Then……
In the guild tavern, on a wooden table, there were more than a dozen plates filled with meat, vegetables or fruits, as well as more than a dozen barrels of wine with the same aroma, forming a feast with color, aroma and taste.
And this is just the daily diet in Fairy Tail in recent times - of course, there is only this table.
At this moment, Kira himself was in front of this wooden table. He was lying in his own sofa chair, gnawing on a roasted chicken with sauce in one hand and holding a bucket of ice cola in the other, his mouth full of oil.
Suddenly, he stopped eating and asked the people around him with a worried look on his face: "Have I gained a little weight recently?"
"No, I think it's OK."
Kana was still sitting opposite him carelessly, reeking of alcohol, holding a half-meter-high wooden barrel in her arms. As for the chair specially customized for S-class wizards, it had long been soaked by alcohol and sacrificed in daily fights.
"Really?" Although Cana said so, Kira was still not sure. He turned around and asked the others next to him, "Natsu, what do you think?"
Natsu was confused and said, "You haven't changed at all, have you?"
"What do you think, Harpy?"
Happy ate the delicious grilled fish and said incoherently, "No! No! Kira, just keep it like this! Lucy, help me get another one!"
Kira looked at his body, which seemed to have gained some weight, and murmured, "But I always feel that my belt is a little tight recently..."
Several people said in unison again: "It's an illusion! It must be an illusion!"
"Really? Okay..." Kira was stunned for a moment, looking at the fat chicken in his hand hesitantly, but finally he couldn't resist the temptation of delicious food and took a bite.
The body and mind are instantly filled with happiness!
“I’m so happy~”
"Yes! I'm so happy~"
“It would be nice to live like this every day~”
"Don't think about it anymore, enjoy it while you still have the chance!"
Suddenly, Kira put the roast chicken and cola in his hand on the table, and said seriously: "No! I can't go on like this! I must lose weight! I must exercise! I must regain my former heroic spirit!"
But the foodies around them didn’t seem to stop what they were doing, and only replied vaguely: “Hmm… Oh… That’s good… Come on! — Hey! Don’t grab it!!”
"So, these days of overeating will be cancelled from now on!"
At this point, they finally stopped moving, staring at Kira in horror and disbelief. Then...
“Ehhhhhhhh???!!!”
“Nooooooooooooo!!!”
"Kira, please think about it again!!!"
"Don't do such an inhumane thing! Never!!"
Natsu, Happy, Gray, Cana, Wendy, and Lucy all moved at the same time, clasping their hands together and begging Kira to take back his heinous words.
"We have been carrying out our 'eating and drinking to excess' plan for 18 consecutive days. It would be a shame to stop it like this, right? How about we keep going for a month?"
"Please! Lord Kira~"
But Kira had already decided to stop and refused directly: "No! I mean no!"
“Wuwuwu…”
Amid the cries of grief, a loud shout rang out: "This is too shameful! Everyone, get up. Do you still count as a Fairy Tail wizard like this?"
"Erusa?" Several people looked up and stared at Erza with a serious face.
She crossed her arms and scolded the others fiercely, "Even if we have to say goodbye, we should still hold our heads high!"
"Holding the awareness that you will never be able to eat it again, upholding the respect and gratitude for the food, eating this last meal into your stomach until you can't eat any more, this is the best way to say goodbye to 'Fairy Tail'!!"
After saying that, she buried her whole body in the food and started eating it up in no time.
The others looked at each other and suddenly realized.
"Erusa is right!"
"Eat tomorrow... No! Eat the entire amount for three days!"
"Then I'll eat it for five days!"
"I'll take it for seven days!"
"That's right! You have to drink all the wine for a week! If you can't finish it, take it away..."
Looking at the foodies who, led by Erza, ruthlessly swept the food on the table, the people next to them were speechless: "I remember Kira has said these words more than once, right?"
"Yes, this is the sixth time. Every time I say this, I still can't resist the temptation of food the next day and continue to eat and drink."
"Why is it that eating a meal can be so passionate?"
“Hehehe… young people are full of energy!”
Half an hour later, Kira and the others finally finished their food and handed the mess on the table to the waiter to clean up. They then relaxed and took a rest comfortably, even with their eyelids drooping and feeling sleepy.
At this moment, Makarov's scolding voice sounded behind him.
"Kira, you've been so relaxed lately!!"
