Chapter 44 The person arrested this time is...
"Female fairy... oh no, it's the Fairy Queen, she lives up to her reputation."
Watching Erza beating Natsu in the field, Kira nodded secretly in his heart, this armor is worthy of being made by me, the quality is so good.
This color, this luster, this curvature, this line, ah! Perfect!
Gray muttered quietly: "What on earth is this guy intoxicated by?"
Lucy also squatted down and said to Happy: "I feel that Kira's eyes are looking at Erza strangely..."
Happy is still a relatively 'pure?' cat. He thought for a moment and raised his hand to answer: "Maybe it's because he just bet on Erza to win at Cana's place!"
What ? There is such a thing?
Lucy was surprised: "This guy just said he never does these things!"
"Kira can be seen in everything related to money in the guild!"
"Happi, did you place your bet too?"
"Yes , we've bet on Erza to win!" Happy said confidently, and it seemed that he didn't believe Natsu could win either.
Lucy complained: "How dare you say that, you heartless and heartless cat!"
"Although I hope Natsu wins, Erza is still stronger!"
"Natsu is also very powerful. He killed all the members of the Iron Forest by himself!"
"If it's Erza, she can do it too. She's the strongest woman in the guild!"
The battle had already started for 30 minutes, and Natsu and Erza had yet to decide the winner, but everyone could see that Natsu was about to lose, because he was already starting to pant, and Erza... was just beginning to sweat slightly, probably not because of tiredness, but because Natsu had raised the temperature around them a lot.
Gray's ice didn't affect the two men fighting for the victory.
"Roar of the Fire Dragon!!!"
"Emperor Yan, Dayan Ring!"
Erza spun around and rushed forward, cutting off the roar with the flaming sword in her hand, and knocked Natsu to the ground before he could react! !
"Natsu, you really have become stronger!"
Looking at Natsu crawling on the ground and unable to get up, Erza exhaled deeply and then changed back into her original armor.
Maklov announced with a smile: "The winner is decided! Erza is the winner!"
"Ohhhh!! Erza wins!"
"As expected of Erza!"
"Great! Erza won! I won too! Pay me back now!"
"Damn it, I didn't expect Natsu to be so strong. If I had known, I wouldn't have pressed him for 20 minutes!"
Everyone was immersed in the joy of making money and the misery of losing money. Even Happy ran to Cana to ask for the two fish he won. In the end, it was the kind-hearted Lucy who was the first to help Natsu up.
"Natsu, are you okay?"
Natsu was still somewhat unconscious at this time, with stars on his head. He got up half-consciously with the help of Lucy. He felt a little depressed, and his words revealed reluctance: "No... I'm fine!"
After the battle, Cana silently counted the odds she had made. Since this game was all about guessing how long Natsu could last at Erza's hands, she still made a small profit as the banker.
"Not bad, not bad. Today's wine money is..."
Unfortunately, before Kana could be happy, an evil hand attacked from behind and took away the money from her hand before it was even warm: "Not bad, not bad, you are one step closer to paying off your debt!"
"You bastard! Give me back my money!"
Kira walked forward on his own , counting the money as he walked and saying, "Now it's my money. Oh, it's quite a lot. I can probably pay back one percent of it."
"Damn it! I've never seen a guy as greedy as you! At least leave me some money for today's drinks..."
"Once you're in my hands, don't even think about getting it back! Besides, I think you should drink less! Alcohol makes people numb, but it's not good for getting stronger!"
"Nonsense! The president and Gildarts also like to drink!"
"Uh...others are numb physically and mentally, but they are so strong that they make people numb."
Kana was speechless.
"Let's go!" Kira was waving the money he had earned, thinking about where to spend it. As a result, as soon as he turned around, he saw a humanoid toad behind him, and the dark green toad's face was almost sticking to the back of his head.
Anyone else would have been scared away, but Kira acted as if nothing had happened and his thinking was surprisingly clear.
"Strange, since when did toads learn to wear clothes and walk like humans?"
The toad clapped its hands and spoke in human language: "Everyone, don't move! I am the messenger of the Council!"
"The Council?"
"messenger?!"
"Why is the Council's messenger here?"
"Why can the toad talk?!"
I watched the wonderful show of Natsu vs. Erza today, and made some money from Cana. Why did the Council come here on such a happy day?
No one expected this to happen, not even Markov. Kira had some guesses, but he always loved acting, so he pretended not to know.
The Toad Messenger continued to announce: "In the Iron Forest Terror Incident a few days ago, as a suspect of 10 crimes including damaging public property and hiding black magic props, Kira Hopelet, you are under arrest!"
"What?!"×N
It was indeed for this matter! But why was I arrested? I remember that in the original story, Erza was the one who took the blame, but now why did it become...
Wait, it just mentioned something about hiding evil magic items, so did it arrest me because Lalabai was in my hand?
It must have been that Kageyama who told them!
“Eh… have we been discovered again? I knew it would be like this, those guys from the Iron Forest…”
"Kira, what's going on?"
When he heard about the secret collection of black magic props, Marklov immediately thought of Larabai a few days ago. Didn’t Kira hand it over to the Council?
It was all my fault that I was drunk at the time and forgot about it.
"Ah, it's okay, President, don't worry, I'll go with them and come back after we've clarified everything..."
Erza also rushed over after hearing the noise: "In this Iron Forest incident, I am the captain of the Fairy Tail team. If anyone is going to be arrested, it should be me, right?"
"I'm sorry, but the arrest of Kira Hoplite was a decision made by the members of the Council. It won't change just because you're the captain. Also, this matter involves Larabai, and as far as we know, the person who hid was Kira Hoplite, not you."
Erza glanced at Kira. Although she didn't say anything, Kira understood what she meant from her eyes.
"I told you that you shouldn't keep Larabai, now that's okay, right?"
Kira understood, so he raised his eyebrows and responded to her with the same look: "You are the captain, why don't you take charge."
However, the tacit understanding between the two still did not reach the point. In Erza's opinion, Kira said: "It's okay! Everything is under control! This is just a show. I will go and say hello, and they will let me go back tomorrow."
So Erza nodded and said to the Toad Messenger: "Then you take him away!"
Kira: “???”
Seeing that the other side had no intention of resisting, the Toad Messenger breathed a sigh of relief. Although he was a member of the Council and any magic guild had to give him face, this was Fairy Tail after all. In terms of lawlessness and evildoing, it ranked number one except for the Dark Guild.
No matter how unwilling everyone in Fairy Tail was, they were still helpless in the face of the Council, and Kira seemed to be quite excited...
Fortunately, Natsu, who is usually the most noisy, was knocked unconscious by Erza, otherwise he would definitely clamor to save Kira - after all, he was the one who beat the person and destroyed the station.
However, in order to prevent Natsu from acting recklessly after waking up, Markrov turned him into a salamander and trapped him in the guild hall, and everyone watched over him together.
