Chapter 546: They're all Chase's girlfriends, I can't be the only one who stepped on
Chapter 546 They're all Chase's girlfriends, I can't be the only one who gets hit by this landmine.
When Chess brought Mira back to the guild after they finished eating the new desserts at the dessert shop, it was already noon.
Upon entering the guild, the expected chaotic battle scene did not materialize.
After finishing lunch, Nazgre and the others calmed down a bit and started chatting idly while leaning on the table.
Lucy, on the other hand, looked excited and kept fiddling with the mirror in front of her, muttering things like, "This time we're definitely going to dominate the headlines."
Clearly, this is in preparation for the upcoming special interview with Soshara in the Magic Weekly.
After distributing the small gifts she had bought, Mira carried a pink box and went straight to Erza, who was sitting alone in the corner: "Here, this is for Erza."
"Me? I have one too?!" Erza was somewhat flattered.
Even now, she still feels incredibly ashamed of her sneaking away.
"Of course! We're best friends!"
Mira tilted her head and smiled sweetly, "Open it and see, this is the latest hot-selling cake from the West City Dessert Shop~"
"A wildly popular cake?!"
Erza's eyes lit up instantly, and even though she had just eaten, her mouth watered uncontrollably.
In an instant, the Fairy Queen forgot all about sneaking away and going on dates, her eyes filled only with longing and anticipation for the new cake.
I quickly opened the gift box and found a beautifully crafted little cake lying there quietly.
The sides of the cake are decorated with cream garnished with dark chocolate shavings, and the top is painted with cute green patterns, somewhat like matcha, giving off a light and refreshing aroma.
"This is definitely a style I've never seen before!" Erza exclaimed with delight.
As a devoted cake lover, she didn't even notice the signature sly smile on Mira's face as she picked up the cake with both hands and put it in her mouth.
Then, his expression suddenly changed, and he froze as if he had been electrocuted.
So bitter! Extremely bitter!
"Oh dear, I forgot to mention, this new product incorporates rich bitter melon juice into everything from the cream to the toppings."
Mira's smile deepened, but she said casually, "It's said that they wanted customers to experience a taste completely different from ordinary cakes, and I think it's quite delicious."
"What's wrong, Erza? Don't you like it?"
Actually, when she first tasted it, her expression was even more interesting than Erza's; she was so overwhelmed by the bitterness that she questioned the meaning of life.
Finally, adhering to the principle of not wasting anything, he simply forced the half-eaten cake onto Chess to finish it.
Feeling the bitterness lingering deep in her mouth, Erza finally realized: "Damn Mira, you did this on purpose?!"
""
"That's right, how about it? It's more unforgettable than any cake, isn't it?" Mira crossed her arms and readily admitted it, while not forgetting to make a sarcastic remark.
They're all Chase's girlfriends, I can't be the only one who made a mistake!
"I knew it! How could you, you insidious, filthy woman, be so kind!"
"You're just too easy to fool."
As Erza slammed her hand on the table and stood up, the two of them bumped foreheads together and started bickering as they always did.
The surrounding companions were all frightened by that terrifying aura and retreated one after another. When monsters fight, mortals are easily harmed.
Chase, who had witnessed the whole process, simply shook his head and smiled before walking straight to Lucy, who was admiring herself in the mirror.
"Chess, is it really okay not to stop Erza and Mira?" Lucy asked, putting away the mirror.
"It's not like we'll really fight, it's okay, it's okay." Chase waved his hand and sat down next to her.
"What an irresponsible boyfriend!" Lucy complained.
"Compared to this, Lucy, I want to change this damn outfit."
If all goes as expected, the reporter from the Magic Weekly should arrive soon.
It's one thing to lose face in front of the residents of Magnolia, since they're all old acquaintances, and Mira was having a lot of fun.
If someone actually appeared on tomorrow's news headlines dressed as a woman, that would be like a public execution, worse than killing oneself!
Lucy, who was particularly interested in interviews with the Magic Weekly, almost instantly figured out Chase's thoughts. Hands on her hips, she said firmly, "No way! My punishment is that I have to wear it all day!"
Hehe, Chess Bro, who would have thought you'd end up like this?
The wicked voice inside him gloated, covering his mouth and chuckling maliciously: Want Vadashi to rescind the punishment? Hmph, no way!
Even if you kneel down, hug Wadashi's legs, and beg for mercy while crying, it won't work!
"Remove the punishment, and I'll give you 2 J as a reward." Chase held up two fingers.
"make a deal!"
It was almost an instinct ingrained in her bones; one second Lucy was steadfastly upholding her stance, and the next, her eyes turned into money symbols.
"Then it's a pleasure to cooperate!" Chase smiled and slapped the coins he had prepared in advance onto the table.
"Feed Lucy, how can you let Chess go just because of a mere 2 J!" Natsu suddenly came over, clearly displeased.
"You should be grateful you even changed out of those clothes. Haven't you been disgusted enough yet?"
Gray glanced disdainfully at Chase's short skirt, then changed the subject, "Yeah, only an idiot like you would be interested in perverts."
"What did you say?!" Natsu slammed his fist on the table and stood up.
"Um—I think you'd better put your clothes on before saying things like that, Greg," Wendy said weakly, covering her face.
"What?! When?!"
Before Gray could even be shocked by his "disappeared" clothes, Juvia suddenly came into his view: "Lord Gray is so handsome~"
Meanwhile, Happy, having somehow managed to slip a little white dress around her waist, approached Lucy with a fawning expression: "Love~"
"Lucy, we're all dressed, you can have the 2 J now!"
"Who told you to wear it?!" Lucy clutched the banknotes tightly to her chest.
"You damn tomcat, how did my skirt end up with you?!" Xia Lulu's angry voice rang out almost simultaneously.
In the corner, Gajeel watched the scene gradually become chaotic and lively, a smirk playing on his lips as he thoughtfully observed: "So that's how it is, wearing sexy women's clothing allows you to disgust everyone equally—"
"Let's forget it. Your singing is more than enough," Lili hurriedly advised, extending her dark cat paw.
"Hehe, you really understand me. You're truly my cat." Gajeel, having received the praise, abandoned his idea of cross-dressing.
"Suddenly, I feel sorry for that lump of iron; it couldn't even tell that the black cat was being sarcastic—"
Mengmeng fluttered its wings and landed on Eclair's shoulder, muttering a complaint.
Akelia smiled but didn't say anything. She had long been used to and liked this atmosphere, and her smile appeared frequently, no longer as cold as before.
Just then, Chess, now dressed in normal clothes, slowly walked over: "Eclair, where's your Phoenix Stone?"
The sudden question surprised Acrea, but out of absolute trust in Chase, she reached deep into her collar and pulled out the half of the phoenix stone pendant she always wore: "Here it is."
"Just wear it like this when the reporter from the Magic Weekly is interviewing you later."
Seeing the confused look on Acrea's face, Chess said calmly, "Didn't I promise you before that I would take care of the 'Phoenix' problem?"
He naturally knew that the other half of the Phoenix Stone was now in the hands of the Duchy of Veronica. According to the original plot, Prince Krim would steal the Phoenix Stone from Eclair during the Duchy's 400th anniversary celebration and combine the two to achieve so-called "immortality".
Normally, Chess wouldn't bother with all that complicated stuff; he'd just go and rob them.
But the situation is very different now. The western and northern continents are restless. If they rashly attack a prince of a duchy, it is very likely to push the newly "reborn" Fairy Tail into the limelight and give others a handle to use against them.
Therefore, a reasonable excuse is needed, such as ————
The Principality of Veronica has attacked its own important guild members first!
