Chapter 480: Kira's Deception
Under the Sirius tree, a large sea-blue blanket was spread on the grass , scattered on it were a few boxes of biscuits and desserts, a magic-driven kettle, and four cups of black tea.
The four people and the ghost sat around camping and reminisced about their youth.
At first glance, this seemed to be an activity for the elderly, but a young man in his early twenties mixed in and seemed out of place among the three elderly old men.
Also out of place was the ghost Mavis, who was currently lying on the ground with her eyes shining and saliva hanging from the corners of her mouth, staring greedily at the lavender pudding that Kira had placed in front of her.
This lavender pudding comes from the most famous dessert house in Magnolia. It is made by the most famous dessert chef there and is a new product released this month.
The whole pudding is a beautiful lavender color and smells like a faint lavender scent. It is a favorite of many people. Erza and Wendy eat one every day.
"It looks delicious, doesn't it? This is the newest pudding!"
Kira looked at Mavis, who wanted to eat but couldn't, and was so anxious that she wanted to jump up and stamp her feet. With a sinister smile on her face, she said, "Even though it's not even as big as your palm, one piece costs nearly 2000J!"
But Mavis pretended not to hear Kira's voice. She just looked at the food in front of her and kept muttering, "I want to eat it... I want to eat it..."
"What a pity, first generation, you have a ghost body, so you can't eat it."
“Ehhhhh??!!!”
Kira continued to pretend to be helpless and said: "The president and his friends don't like to eat sweets, and they are old. Eating too much of these things is not good for the body. I have to eat them."
After saying that, he raised the spoon and plunged it into the pudding, scooped a small mouthful and put it into his mouth.
Mavis came close to Kira, her innocent and romantic eyes sparkling, and asked, "How is it? How is it? Is it delicious? It must be delicious, right?"
Kira closed his eyes and felt it carefully for a long time, then slowly opened his eyes, met Mavis's expectant eyes, and said excitedly: "It's delicious! This pudding is very smooth and elastic, and melts in your mouth. There is a wonderful feeling of lavender exploding in your mouth, and it emits a refreshing fragrance. Then the satisfaction brought by the sugar fills your whole brain... Perfect! It's perfect! I have never eaten such a delicious pudding!"
The satisfied and happy look on her face made Mavis cry with envy: "I knew it! I knew it!! I could tell when it was served just now!!! Damn... I want to eat it so much!!"
Suddenly, Kira frowned, put down the pudding and spoon, and sighed deeply: "Ah! Although it tastes good, but..."
"but??"
Mavis tilted her head. She couldn't think of any "but".
Kira took a peek without leaving a trace and continued, "But, I suddenly remembered that the doctor recently told me not to eat too many sweets. It seems that I have to throw this thing away."
"What?! How can you just throw away something so delicious?! You're wasting food!!!"
Hearing Kira's words, Mavis screamed and roared at Kira, "If you can't eat it, don't buy it in the first place! Do you know how many cute and kind-hearted children want to eat it but can't afford it, and want to buy it but can't?!!"
"And didn't you say it was expensive? It's fine if you don't eat it after buying it, but you actually plan to throw it away?! This is not only disrespectful to the food, but also to the chef and to all the people who can't eat it!! How can our children of 'Fairy Tail' behave like this?!!"
The barefoot ghost loli's fur was very cute, but Kira was not in the mood to appreciate it at the moment (of course, he was not a lolita complex and could not appreciate it), so he just acted according to the script he had thought of last night.
"Yeah! But I'm not short of money... Besides, no matter how delicious the food is, if you force yourself to eat it if it doesn't suit your taste, you won't feel satisfied."
"How...how could there be someone like you..."
Mavis was struck by lightning. The whole ghost became gloomy and depressed. She curled up in a corner of the blanket, staring blankly at the pudding that Kira had scooped a spoonful of.
The time has come!
Kira smiled, and now he had found the map of Yan State. He decided to take out his dagger!
"What a shame! If you were not a ghost but a human, you could have eaten it!"
Preshito, Volodymyr, and Makarov sat opposite, drinking their tea without saying a word. Their five eyes blinked as they watched in silence the clumsy drama before them, which was like coaxing a child.
What is this? You want to use this method to revive Mavis? How can this childish trick work?!
Preshito complained silently in his heart: I thought this kid could have a better way, but this is the result?
Kira was not sure how far the ghost body could run. He only knew that in the original work, the farthest Mavis had been was the royal capital, Kurokas. It should be possible as long as it was within Fiore. As for whether her magic power could support her to the Albareth Empire, it was unknown.
But even if it was possible, anyone who was not a member of Fairy Tail would not be able to see Mavis' ghost body, which meant she had to return to her body.
Because whether it is persuading Zeref and August, or dying together with Zeref in the end, Mavis is an indispensable existence.
Unless the 'Curse of Anxelram' can be removed by using the magic of annihilation, and Jellal is given death, then maybe he can give up the idea of destroying the world.
"Using the attraction of delicious food to make the first generation want to return to their bodies? What an outrageous method!"
Makarov had a strange expression on his face, and looked at Mavis who was struggling with her thoughts with his old eyes. "But this is indeed a method that Kira could have thought of..."
But, will it work?
While I was thinking, a cute little girl's voice came: "Don't treat ghosts as if they were human! Although the form is different, I can do a lot of things!!"
Kira's mean voice continued, "Oh? Really? Then can you eat this sweet and delicious pudding?"
“This…this…”
Mavis seemed to be hit directly by Kira's attack. Her face suddenly changed and she couldn't help but take a half step back. Her feet stepped directly on the grass. If she wasn't a ghost, her feet would have been stained by the mud.
"Isn't it possible? How pitiful... It's hard to feel this delicious food right in front of you but unable to touch it, right? I understand, it's like the debtor is right next to you, but you can't get the money back..."
“…”×3
Volod leaned over to Makarov and asked in a low voice: "What on earth is this kid talking about?"
Preshito also looked over, with doubt clearly visible in his eyes.
Makarov was speechless. He didn't expect Kira to remain like that at a time like this. He could only bite the bullet and answer, "He is just like this. Sorry to embarrass you..."
Volodymyr shook his head and chuckled, "No, no, no... I actually find it very interesting... Hahahaha..."
In comparison, Preshito was much more serious and gently rebuked: "It's really embarrassing! When did the wizards of Fairy Tail become loan sharks? Too lazy!"
After a few words were exchanged in a low voice, Mavis' voice was heard again.
"Humph! It doesn't matter if you don't eat it!"
Mavis seemed to be speechless after hearing what Kira said. She could only wave her hands and pretend not to care. She held her head high and pretended to be very mature, like a little girl imitating the actions of an adult. "I am an adult. How can I be tempted by delicious food like a child?!"
My Lord? I can't tell!
Kira glanced at the tablet inconspicuously, and said with a 'tsk tsk tsk': "I didn't expect you to be so stubborn! But next time before you say something like that, can you wipe the saliva from the corners of your mouth? It's almost dripping onto your skirt!"
Mavis: !!
“Slurp——!”
After taking a deep breath and quickly wiping the saliva from the corner of her mouth, Mavis looked up again, changing her previous naive and romantic attitude and looking directly into Kira's eyes.
"What on earth are you doing here this time?"
