Chapter 520: Irene Finally Came to the Door
Ever since Urrutia accidentally revealed a few days ago that she had spent all of Kira's secret stash, she has become Kira's tool to be called upon at any time.
So now that Erza has broken something in the restaurant, Kira can ask Urrutia to run over from his bed in the hotel to fix it. In a sense, it can be said that everything is put to good use and people are put to good use.
After all, Ultear couldn't beat him, and he didn't have as much money as he did. The only use Kira could think of was the Arc of Time, a lost magic with special effects.
"I knew you wouldn't be so kind as to treat me to a meal!"
Kira blinked in confusion and asked softly, "Then why are you still so angry?"
“…”
Is that what I mean?! Has this guy ever been to school?! Are all the wizards in your guild illiterate?!
Compared to Urrutia, who received a high-quality education from Hades since childhood, most of the wizards of "Fairy Tail" are indeed like illiterates.
"Anyway, I'm lucky to have you here this time. Keep it up!"
Kira patted Urrutia's shoulder in satisfaction, with a look of "I like your reliable subordinate", and then turned to look at the restaurant owner: "Boss, now we don't have to pay for the tables, chairs, dishes and bowls, right?"
"Of course..."
The boss nodded and smiled at Kira, his eyes showing a hint of disappointment at not being able to take advantage of the opportunity to make a profit. Then he looked at Urrutia, who used the Arc of Time to restore the tables, chairs and plates to their original state, and an expression of indescribable admiration instantly appeared on his face.
I have never seen anyone who can restore something that was broken. This woman... is born to be a waitress! !
No...it should be dishwasher! Don't waste a drop of water!
Kira quickly blocked the greedy look of a hungry wolf seeing a fat sheep with his body: "Since you don't have to pay compensation, you can almost let go of your hand, right? This dress of mine is very expensive! Will you pay for it if it's torn?"
“…”
Three minutes later, they were back to eating, except this time there was an extra Ultear, and Erza could get angry at will.
BANG!!
"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?!!"
Huh?! Didn't this just happen? Are you planning to ignore the process in between?
Kira looked at Erza, who was full of anger, and was silent for a while. After a long while, he said, "I am very close to my goal now, but Irene's situation is rather special. I will mess things up easily if I am impatient..."
Very close to the goal…refers to the brother-sister relationship that was bonded on the first day but has not progressed since then.
"Isn't it your favorite thing to mess things up?"
"Oh, that's right! You make sense!"
Kira woke up as if from a dream. After thinking about it carefully, he felt something was wrong. "But this time is really different. Since met Auguste, you know what level the 'double wall' is. Irene is not the kind of person who values feelings. If we fight, I am not sure of winning."
Natsu said with a smile: "We are still here..."
Where does this idiot get all this confidence?!
Before Kira could say anything to attack Natsu, Demaria began to sneer, "Humph! Lady Irene's strength is not inferior to that of old man August. How can you, a few people, handle her?"
"What did you say?!"
"Don't underestimate the wizards of Fairy Tail!!"
"Any opinions? You're the defeated general!"
"I can't pretend I didn't hear you! Do you want to try another fight?!"
"I'm at your service any time!!"
Pa pa pa... bang bang bang... ping pong pong...
Bowls, plates and food were flying everywhere, causing the diners in the restaurant to frown and look disgusted.
Kira: “…”
Why is it like this again?! Why do these guys always end up fighting no matter where they go or what they talk about?! Also, what's going on with Erza and Dimaria? It's just a win or a loss, but are their tempers so bad? Is this the "knight repulsion" that they were taught?
On the other hand, thinking of the terrifying magic power she and others felt from Auguste a few days ago, Wendy couldn't help but feel a little scared: "There is actually another wizard of that level..."
Brandish nodded and slowly introduced Lucy and the others: "A wizard who uses high-level additional magic, known as the 'Scarlet Despair', is the strongest female wizard in the entire Albares Empire!"
"Come to think of it, the nature of your magic is very similar to hers... but if you look at your face, you look more like Erza."
"Eh? Magical properties? Me?" Wendy was surprised, but soon figured out the reason, "Maybe it's because I can use additional magic, too?"
"Maybe... Although you are still a child now, you have a good talent for magic. You may become a magician like Lady Irene in the future!"
As she was talking, Brandish suddenly covered her mouth and laughed secretly, looking at Wendy's small body that had not yet developed with a teasing look, "Hehehe... Especially in terms of body shape, Lady Irene is the greatest person I have ever seen!"
“Ehhhh??!! Really?!!!”
Wendy's eyes lit up when she heard that. She was greatly encouraged and secretly made up her mind to study additional magic as hard as she could after returning home, so as to become a person with a broad mind as soon as possible.
"Don't envy others, Wendy is also cute like this~"
"hehe……"
After dinner, Kira returned to his residence alone, occasionally making a few complaints: "Tsk! A bunch of people who know nothing but tricking children. Cuteness is nothing compared to sexiness! Fortunately, Wendy wasn't fooled!"
Erza and her group happened to stay in the same hotel as Urrutia, but Kira was different. Due to work reasons, he did not stay in a hotel during this period. Instead, he lived in the house of the mayor's assistant assigned to him by Irene.
The position is an official position of the Empire, the work is easy, the working hours are short, the salary is high, and a house is allocated. What treatment can be better than this? Anyway, Kira has never seen such a good country in the whole of Ishgar.
So since he took office, he had only one feeling in his heart: It is normal for the Albares Empire to be so powerful! Such a good country must not be destroyed in the war! So it is necessary to prevent the war from starting!
So how can we stop it? The best way is to destroy an organization from within!
Kira felt that as long as the people of the Albares Empire were allowed to indulge in wine, sex, money, gossip and entertainment, perhaps the seeds of war could be strangled in the soil of "enjoyment"!
But the population of this empire is so huge, hundreds of millions or even billions, and it is not easy to change. In this case, top-down orders may be the best way!
As long as he climbed to a very high position, such as the emperor or the Twelve Shields, and then changed the policies of the entire Albares Empire with a wave of his hand, wouldn't the people of the country be able to live in a life of drunkenness and dream? Surely by that time, no one would want to start a war anymore, right?
What a perfect plan!
Kira couldn't help but give a thumbs up to his own idea.
Returning to the door of his residence, Kira was about to open the door and go in when a voice suddenly came from behind him.
"Is this why you're undercover with me?"
Kira's hand trembled, and he turned around when he heard the voice, and found that Irene had appeared behind him without him knowing when, and was looking at him with a smug expression as if "I finally discovered your secret."
"To stop the Albares Empire from waging war against Ishgar?"
"And you even gave up Auguste, who was the most loyal to the Emperor, and those two brats. Your methods are really beyond my expectations, Fairy Tail!"
Kira's mouth twitched: I heard everything, how long have you been following me secretly?
