Chapter 647: Juvia: Gray-sama accepted my lunch? There must be something wrong!
The evening sun shines on Magnolia, and the houses and streets reflect the golden light, which is dazzling.
It's May and the air in this town is starting to get hotter. Even though the sun is about to set, the dry feeling on the skin still makes people feel hot from the bottom of their hearts.
Such a temperature can be regarded as a kind of training for people who prefer cold to heat, a training that challenges their heat tolerance.
Gray felt that way.
As a person who had to take off clothes from time to time all year round, his tolerance to heat was extremely . Even though he had just drunk a lot of wine today, it had all evaporated without him noticing, so at this moment he only felt extremely thirsty.
Because they were on the street, he couldn't take off his clothes and run naked, otherwise he would receive complaints from citizens tomorrow, and then scolded by Makarov, and he didn't want to suffer that.
Walking alone on the way home, feeling the remaining heat of the setting sun on his body, Gray felt extremely heavy.
There is no doubt that this heaviness comes from Jellal.
So many days have passed, and Gray has not yet gotten rid of his depressed and distressed mood. Several times, he wondered if he was being too picky. After all, Jellal himself did not have much direct hatred towards him.
Besides, he hasn't forgotten what Kira said to him: "Natsu is the END, and Zeref's life and death are related to Natsu's life."
He would never let Natsu lose his life just to seek revenge against Zeref, a person he had no direct hatred for, unless their relationship was broken, then he could consider it.
"It's been more than a year, and I don't know how Kira has studied the book..."
How is the research going?
The answer is absolutely... No, no... Almost... Um... A little bit! He only studied a little bit and didn't go on.
It's not because of lack of ability, but because he has other important things to do.
For example, now, he is concerned about a very important thing!
"What are we having for dinner tonight?"
Even though he has lived in this world for more than 20 years, Kira has always kept in mind the sage's saying "Food is the first necessity of the people", so he attaches great importance to eating.
"How about the ramen shop in front ? But eating ramen at night will make you hungry... or dinner? But I just ate a lot of snacks in the guild... or go home and eat snacks? No, no, it's too unhealthy..."
Kira put his hands behind his head and thought of several dinner options, but rejected them all in the end.
Suddenly, as he looked around, he saw a figure who was behaving in a very unrighteous manner.
"Ah! It's the nymphomaniac... No, it's Juvia!!"
Juvia was hiding at this time, hiding under the wall of a building like a stalker, sticking out her blue head and adjusting the detection functions of her love radar and eyes to the extreme.
"Why is she hiding like this?"
Although he said this, Kira knew that the answer to this question was not difficult to guess, because there was only one person in the world who could make Juvia do this.
Sure enough, following her gaze, Kira discovered Gray's melancholy figure.
Bang!
Kira walked over and tapped the other person on the shoulder, and shouted, "Following Gray, Juvia!"
"babble--!!"
Juvia, who was concentrating all her attention on Gray, screamed out loud at the changes in her surroundings.
Gray, who was walking towards his home, suddenly stopped, turned around and looked behind him suspiciously, but there was nothing special except a few ordinary passers-by.
“Is it an illusion?”
After muttering to himself, Gray continued forward.
Behind a wall not far behind him, in the shadows, Kira slowly released his hand that was covering Juvia's mouth.
Kira originally wanted to make a joke, but the first sentence Juvia said made his face darken.
"What are you doing, Kira?"
"Juvia already has Gray-sama!"
After saying that, he proudly lifted his hair, looking as if he was an unattainable woman.
Kira: “…”
"Stop being so narcissistic! Gray hasn't said he likes you yet, don't you know how to find the problem with yourself?"
Is Juvia pretty?
Even Kira actually thought that she was very beautiful, especially after her previous guild closed down and she switched to the current guild. Her appearance became more and more beautiful every day, especially after she grew her hair long.
But we can’t lose the verbal battle!
So after Juvia said that, Kira could only answer like this.
The young people in the guild today...their emotional intelligence still needs to be improved, they should gain more experience!
Kira's words were very effective. Juvia's momentum wilted at a speed visible to the naked eye. She suddenly became dejected and lowered her head in reflection.
I didn't say it was heavy, did I?
Kira pondered for a while and came to the conclusion that the damage caused by his words was considered light! If Juvia had a problem with her mentality in pursuing Gray because of this sentence, then her ability to withstand pressure should also be tested.
"So, you were just following Gray?"
“Yes… yes…”
"Is he not in good condition recently?"
"Have you also noticed something unusual about Gray-sama?"
Juvia raised her head again and looked at Kira in surprise, "Juvia made lunch boxes for Gray-sama these past two days, but Gray-sama didn't even refuse!"
"It's not normal to be rejected... What?! He didn't say no?!"
Kira, who reacted immediately, took a deep breath and looked at Juvia with wide eyes in disbelief.
"Yes! Gray-sama not only ate the entire bento Juvia made, but he also smiled at me very gently and said 'thank you, it was delicious'!"
Recalling Gray's smile when he said these words, Juvia's heart began to pound, and she laughed foolishly, her whole surroundings turning pink as if she was in love.
"Did you just say that? Maybe you didn't hear the 'don't do it again next time'?"
“No way!!”
"Isn't that a good thing? Maybe Gray has finally come to his senses and is planning to accept your confession, Juvia!!"
These words were not said by Kira, but by the happy who appeared out of nowhere.
“…”
The air suddenly fell silent for a few seconds.
Kira turned his head stiffly , only to find that Natsu, Lucy, Happy, Erza, Wendy and Charlulu had already come to his side without him noticing. At this moment, Happy still had a look of watching the fun on his face, flapping his snow-white little wings, flying comfortably in the air.
"When did you guys show up?"
Are these people walking so quietly? Why didn't I realize they have this talent before? That's right, it must be because these guys usually do everything in a hurry.
"Since Juvia mentioned the word 'bento'!"
Lucy's eyes sparkled with excitement, her face full of gossip, not at all like a lady: "Hurry up and tell me the rest, I can't wait to hear it!!"
Kira looked at Lucy's expression and confirmed his own thoughts: As expected... eating melons is not limited by gender or age!
But compared to Kira, Juvia's 'rival detection radar' immediately became alert: "Huh?? Could it be that Lucy wants to ask Juvia about the flavor of Gray-sama's favorite bento? Juvia won't tell you!!"
Lucy rolled her eyes speechlessly and waved her hands, "You worry too much, I definitely don't have such plans!!"
After confirming several times and making sure that Lucy would not take this opportunity to conquer Gray's taste buds, Juvia expressed her opinion reluctantly.
"If it were any other time, I would be very happy, but this time it's different!"
Juvia straightened her back confidently, her eyes emitting a startling gaze, like a detective.
"This time, Gray-sama's smile was very forced. Juvia could tell that it was a fake smile he used to cover up because he didn't want others to notice his true emotions!"
"Mr. Gray must be worried about something!!"
