Chapter 519: Let the popularity of "Fairy Tail" spread across the Western Continent
"The winner of this competition is the chef from the gourmet guild 'Cake Craze'..."
Towards the end of the competition, the host seemed to notice that the judges and contestants were visibly tired, so he sped up the pace of the competition, finally bringing the competition to a perfect end before sunset.
"Let's eat, let's eat..."
After presenting the award to the unknown champion chef, Kira took the 'mobile stall fee' collected from the previous two days and strode towards the most expensive restaurant in the city.
On the street, a slender and perfect figure was walking slowly. The afterglow of the setting sun shone on him, dyeing his eye-catching red hair a faint golden color, and his shadow was stretched very long.
"What should I eat today? Since I'm alone, I should have a super sumptuous dinner to reward myself for being busy these past few days, right?"
Soon, Kira was faced with the most important decision of the day. Standing at the intersection, he looked around: "On the left is the most expensive seafood restaurant in town, and on the right is a well-known barbecue restaurant. It's really hard to make a decision..."
It is normal for humans to have difficulty making decisions. Although Kira is not a Libra, he also has this symptom very seriously, but he often struggles with what to eat.
Fortunately, Kira still enjoyed this kind of happy trouble, because when making a choice, he knew clearly that he was the kind of person who had food to eat, not the kind of person who couldn't afford it.
"It's decided, let's go to the seafood restaurant! Anyway, the money has been paid, it would be a waste if it's not spent!!"
After making up his mind, Kira ran to the left excitedly: "Seafood dinner, here I come!!"
…
Ten minutes later, seafood restaurant.
"Why are you here too?"
Kira felt a headache looking at Erza and her group who were making a lot of noise in the lobby, eating in an untidy manner and sitting in an untidy manner, causing other diners to stop eating and watch.
He had a premonition that he might bleed heavily later. After all, based on the personalities and fighting capabilities of this group of people... those who understand know that breaking a few plates is already a very light punishment.
This is the most expensive seafood restaurant in this town!!
"I don't know if I can ask the finance department to reimburse me later. If they see something like 'three plates' on the bill, they might think I was so hungry that I ate all the plates..."
Considering that he had just taken office for less than a month, Kira felt that he should play it safe. The booth fees collected could allow him to have a full meal here, but it would definitely not cover the maintenance costs of this restaurant!
"I think we should have barbecue today..."
Thinking of this, Kira turned around and was about to leave, but before he could take two steps, he was picked up by a white and strong hand and said, "Come back first, I have something to ask you!!"
"What on earth do you want to do?"
Kira slapped Erza's hand that was grabbing his clothes in dissatisfaction, and then seemed to have thought of something, and said nervously, "First of all, you can't blame me for being eliminated today!"
"I came up with the topic 'ramen' because I saw your confident look, and I was really hungry at the time..."
"That kind of thing is not important at all!!"
"Eh?! What?!" Kira was stunned.
Happiness came so suddenly that he almost fainted. He finally felt relieved after he was sure that he had heard correctly. Kira then sat down again, "Why didn't you say so earlier... Boss, give me a set of bowls and chopsticks!"
Perhaps to make up for not having the two-meter-long elephant trunk tuna, Happy was quickly finishing the boiled fish on the table, Natsu and Gray were fighting for the last hairy crab, and the girls were savoring the signature caviar of this seafood restaurant with relish.
"So, what do you want to ask?"
"No, before that, answer my question first. Why are you here? And what's going on with those two?"
"This is this, this, this, this..."
"I see!"
After listening to Erza and the others' experiences, Kira couldn't help but focus his eyes on the two shields who were enjoying the meal. "It's okay for the old man August, but I didn't expect these two to agree? And they even followed you. What a pleasant surprise!"
Upon hearing this, Dimalia retorted: "Don't get me wrong! Randy and I are only holding back for the sake of the old man! Whether to fight or not depends on the emperor's will!"
Kira scoffed at this and said, "We have his wife and children in our hands. When the fight really starts, even if Zeref doesn't hesitate, he will at least be outnumbered!"
Erza frowned, swallowed the spoonful of dark caviar in her hand with her pink lips, and asked vaguely while chewing: "According to the first generation's plan, shouldn't you be like them now, staying with the 'Twelve Shields' named Irene to dispel her intention to start a war?"
In the past few days, Erza has learned about Irene's basic information and the work situation of Kira, the newly appointed mayor's assistant, from Brandish and the other person, as well as the residents of the town.
"Yeah...yes, I'm trying hard!"
"With this perfunctory attitude, I can't tell that you are working hard at all!!"
I wouldn't be happy if you said that!
Kira immediately pulled out a stack of banknotes from his pocket and slapped them on the table, saying indignantly: "Look, thanks to my efforts, this 'food contest' made so much money, and the town's income this month has increased by 20% compared to last month..."
"You just forgot about your mission just to make money, didn't you?! What on earth have you been working so hard for all these days?!!"
Bang!
Erza got angry and pounded her fist on the table, breaking the two-meter-long table in front of her in half! !
"My fish!!"
"My crab!!"
"My meal!!"
“My table!!!”
Happy, Natsu, Gray, Kira, and his fellow restaurant owners cried miserably.
"What...what are you doing, Erza?! It's very expensive here!!"
"What? Do you have any objections?!"
Erza turned around, her magic power surged, her face became grim, and her eyes emitted a bloody red light. The bright red hair that Jellal once gently said was "very beautiful" now floated in the air behind her, waving like the tentacles of a devil. She was even more terrifying than the big devil in fairy tales!
"No... no opinion..." ×N
Feeling the dangerous aura emanating from Erza, Natsu, Gray, Happy and others who had been under the control of her force for many years were instantly frightened and broke out in cold sweats. They trembled all over and dared not act rashly anymore. They could only stand still like frightened quails, and even their voices dropped by more than ten decibels.
"Red... Red-haired devil... Woohoo..." The restaurant owner collapsed to the ground, looking at Erza with eyes full of fear.
"Shut up! Are you trying to kill yourself?!"
The kind-hearted Natsu and Gray's faces turned pale with fear, and they hurried forward to cover his mouth, but it was too late.
Hearing the restaurant owner's voice, Erza turned around instantly, and the extremely cold voice, accompanied by that biting gaze, came again: "What did you say?!"
boss:"!!"
“…Nothing…Nothing…”
His pitiful and timid appearance is really heartbreaking.
He was just doing business! Why did he have to suffer this? ! !
Bang!
A hand gently rested on the boss's shoulder: "Don't worry! We will be responsible for your losses!"
The gentle voice sounded like heavenly music to the ears of the hotel owner.
The restaurant owner immediately wiped away his tears, and a cunning businessman flashed in his eyes that no one noticed. Then he turned around, held Kira's hand tightly, and asked with surprise, "You will pay for it, right?"
"Well..."
Kira scratched his head in embarrassment.
Five minutes later...
Panting, Urrutia thrust his face in front of Kira, exuding a resentful aura: "You bastard... You said you wanted me to come over to help with something serious, but I ended up just helping someone fix a table?!"
"…What else?"
