Chapter 440: A New Harvest Ceremony
The flu didn't stay in Magnolia for long and finally ended before that day arrived.
Not long after that, the citizens put up lights and decorations, preparing to celebrate this classic and grand festival again as in previous years - the Harvest Festival!
The Guild Tavern was bustling with people.
"Do you know? When I left that day, Natsu was sleeping in Lucy's bed!"
"What? Have they already developed to this point?"
"I heard that Selene is still living in Lucy's house. Won't this disturb them?"
"The opponent is a dragon, Natsu should be very happy..."
"Isn't this a third party? Our Lucy's position is in jeopardy..."
"Don't be ridiculous! She's the mother of a 200-year-old child! Besides, Natsu only has Lucy in his heart, I can see that!"
"Come on, you are an old man, how can you understand the thoughts of young people nowadays..."
The protagonist of their topic, Lucy, was sitting alone at the bar, drinking juice in a depressed mood: "What's going on? Why does it feel like everyone is talking about me and Natsu overnight..."
Listening to her guildmates gossiping about herself and Natsu, Lucy felt shy and annoyed, but she had to admit that what those people said was not entirely groundless.
"Ah, didn't you know?"
Mira stood across from her, leaning against the bar and looking at her with a smile, "Kira showed his photo album at the guild a few days ago. There were quite a few intimate photos of you and Natsu in it."
Lucy was immediately furious: "What did you say?! Why does that guy have that kind of thing?! Mira-san, what are those photos?"
"Well... they are just some 'very ordinary' photos!" Mira's cheeks began to turn red, and she unconsciously looked away.
"Just an ordinary photo?" Lucy looked suspicious, "Your expression doesn't say that! You must have kept it, right? Show it to me now!!"
"Ah?! No! I want to keep it... No, I mean, I don't have that kind of thing..."
"Who would believe you? You just wanted to say ' keep it'!!"
Lucy didn't believe a word like this that was totally unconvincing, so she pounced on Mira and started to touch her body. Mira didn't have much fighting power in her daily life, and couldn't withstand Lucy's actions at all. She was touched by her until she was breathless and blushed.
As a last resort, Mira called out to her brother who had just come over for help: "Elfman, come and help me..."
Elfman had no interest in intervening in the girls' war, so he just stood there and cheered them on: "Sister, fight back like a man!"
Mira's delicate voice came: "I'm not a man, I'm a weak woman... um... drink... ha..."
"Lucy and Mira are fighting?! This is such an arousing scene! Get out of the way, I want to watch!! I love watching girls fight the most!!"
These are the old perverts who love to watch the fun.
"What? Lucy and Mira started fighting? Wait for me, count me in!"
This is some straight guy who loves to fight.
"No fighting allowed! You guys keep making a fuss when the president is not around. How can this be tolerated?!"
This is the disastrous discipline committee member.
More than half an hour later, everyone in the guild was cleaning up the overturned tables and chairs with big bumps on their heads, and Mira submitted to Lucy and obediently handed over her collection.
"I was planning to take it out when you got married..."
Lucy's ears burned at these words: "Who... who... who is going to marry him? That's not happening!! Mira-san, don't talk nonsense!"
Mira looked at her teasingly: "Are you really talking nonsense?"
Lucy was speechless, she lowered her head and flipped open Mira's photo album, she saw that the photos inside had been glued, and each one was well preserved, probably able to be kept for a very long time.
In every photo, Lucy and Natsu were acting intimately, and some of them even had Happy in them. The places where the photos were taken included Lucy's home, the streets of Magnolia, restaurants, movie theaters, amusement parks, and some outdoors, which Lucy remembered were where she and Natsu worked.
"Amazing! They actually preserved the photos so well!"
"Right, right? It's a good shot, right?"
"Hmm..." Lucy nodded subconsciously, and then quickly realized, "No! Now is not the time to be amazed! When were these photos taken... Is that guy a stalker?"
Suddenly, Lucy stopped flipping through the photos. She saw some photos that she had no impression of, but in which she and Natsu were extremely intimate.
"Hey, what are these pictures about? I don't remember doing anything like this with Natsu!!"
Mira leaned over to take a look and saw photos of Natsu and Lucy cuddling, kissing, and getting into a red car which then began to vibrate.
"These photos... I do find them a little strange, but photos don't lie, so just admit it!"
What Mira said makes sense. There is no photo-editing in this world, so the photos are indeed real.
Lucy collapsed and started yelling, "This is obviously not me and Natsu!! Ah, I know! It must be Lucy and Natsu from Edlas. This guy Kira actually used their photos to slander me..."
Just when she was furious and ready to go find Kira to settle the score, Kira appeared first, and with him came Makarov.
"Good afternoon everyone!!"
A familiar voice, a familiar accent, a familiar face. The culprit who caused the evil trends in the guild appeared in front of the person concerned without any concealment.
"Kira!! You're still showing up in front of me like nothing happened?!"
"What's wrong?" Kira was stunned at first, then suddenly realized, "Oh, are you angry about the photo? Natsu is not angry, why are you angry?"
"How can this be the same? Natsu, that idiot..."
“Alright, alright!” Kira clapped his hands, interrupting her unfinished words, “The most important thing right now is not this, but the Harvest Festival is coming! We have to have a good time this year!”
When the Harvest Festival was mentioned, the guild fell silent.
I remember that at this time last year, the guild held a grand guild competition in Magnolia. Except for some people who didn't make it to the top 16 due to luck or trivial matters, most of the others had a great time.
"Hey, Kira! Is the Guild Competition also going to be held at this year's Harvest Festival?"
"It's called the 'Fairy Tail Magic Tournament'! I must be in the top ten this time!"
"Last year's competition system was terrible, remember to make major changes this year!!"
After everyone calmed down, Makarov stepped forward, jumped onto the table, and announced loudly: "There will definitely be a competition, and it will definitely not be the same as last year!"
Kira nodded and continued, "That's right! I have already discussed it with the president. This time, we will focus on the battle and not have any fancy competition system. So everyone must rest well and practice well during this period!"
"And then, there's one more thing!"
Makarov lowered his eyes and shouted, "This time, the first place winner will not only get a pure gold trophy and a large bonus, but also a super big prize!!"
"Big Prize?!"×N
The voices of the guild members suddenly rose several dozen degrees. The unknown mysterious reward mentioned by Makarov aroused their curiosity and they immediately started whispering to each other.
“Will it be a super cool weapon?”
"Is it a dragon egg? I want to ride a dragon! That must be so cool! "
"As long as they're not the president's invitation tickets..."
Hearing everyone's complaints, Makarov was a little embarrassed, and he shouted with red face: "Enough! I don't always fool you with invitation tickets!"
Isn't it because our guild doesn't have enough funds! What's wrong with the invitation ticket? The invitation ticket is also bought with money! Do you really think that I bought it wholesale from the factory? Besides, didn't you have a lot of fun? Kira is still good. He won't bargain with me about the invitation ticket.
"Kira, come here..."
Makarov was about to ask Kira to announce the grand prize for him, but when he turned around, he found that Kira was gone.
Where are the people? ?
The next moment, Kira's voice came from the crowd: "Sure enough... He always uses invitation tickets to fool us! Last time he used an invitation ticket to the amusement park, the time before that he used an invitation ticket to a beach villa, and the time before that he used..."
"Kira! Shut up, old man!!"
