Chapter 361 The biggest common problem of holding-type mages
The lively banquet did not end with the departure of the two Natsus.
On the contrary, the Fairy Tail members in the future world were very curious about Lucy's S-rank and surrounded her, asking her questions incessantly.
As the sun set and night fell over Magnolia seven years later, the group gradually departed.
According to Makarov's plan, the best place for these "transmigrators" to rest was Chess's card space, where they could avoid a lot of trouble.
There's nothing else to it, but if the council finds out, there will definitely be a lot of trouble, like investigations and questioning.
But when Lucy and the others learned that the two worlds had different development trajectories, they asked him if they could have some time alone with him.
To miraculously encounter another version of oneself from another world—such an experience might never happen again in a lifetime—they clearly have many "little secrets."
We want to tell each other.
After careful consideration, the two Makarovs finally agreed to their request.
Like looking in a mirror, they complement and learn from each other. This might help the kids better understand their weaknesses and become stronger.
However, while they agreed, once Chase and the Dark Mage finished their preparations to return, they would eventually have to go back to their own world.
Therefore, the most basic restrictions still need to be in place.
First, during this period, we must not cause trouble or easily incite riots (Nazgre is the main target).
Secondly, apart from being alone together or within the guild, they cannot appear in front of outsiders at the same time;
Third, it is necessary to maintain constant contact, which is achieved through Chase's card magic (which also serves as a supervisory function).
No one objected to this.
A two-story rental house on the riverbank.
After nervously closing the doors and windows and drawing the curtains, the two Lucys, having finished their showers, finally breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on the soft, large bed.
"Thank goodness, it looks like Natsu and the others won't be showing up tonight."
"Just as I was treated tragically—"
The two Lucys inexplicably felt a sense of shared misfortune regarding Natsu and his friends' "trespassing."
"Then let's begin now!"
Lucy took out the Celestial Key that had traveled with her from another world.
When Chase suggested they fight, she realized a very crucial problem:
With the addition of the Zodiac Keys that Lucy will possess in the future, there are duplicates in this world. Will she still be able to summon Balgo and the others?
Or rather, which world's Baluge will be summoned?
"Okay, I'll go first."
In the future, Lucy takes out her own Zodiac Key, "Open! The Virgo Gate, Valkyrie!"
The Star Spirit Magic Circle jingled, and Baluge, dressed as a maid, stepped out: "Princess, why are there two princesses looking for me so late?"
She blinked blankly, a little confused.
I'll explain later.
The golden key swept through the air, and Lucy repeated the action of her future self, "Open! The Gate of Virgo, Valkyrie!"
After another knock on the door, Valkyrie, who had been standing next to Future Lucy, appeared on her right.
"Huh? Princess, what is this—" The bewildered Baruka was even more bewildered.
It was the same room, the same two princesses, but her perspective had suddenly shifted subtly.
No, wait, the door closed and reopened in an instant?!
"So it's impossible to summon the same Protoss at the same time after all."
Lucy roughly guessed the reason, looked up at Baloo, and asked, "Balugo, do you know Chesgo?"
"Chess—Brother?"
Baloo tilted her head and pondered for a moment, then became excited, "Is it some kind of new punishment that requires two princesses to be implemented?"
"I see, I understand now. Please use it on me freely!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she got up without hesitation, her face full of anticipation.
I don't understand a thing!
"—You should go back now." X2
The two Lucys closed the door almost simultaneously.
The result is already clear: the Celestial Realm of Lucy's world is not connected to the future world.
Because the key, contractor, and contract details are exactly the same as Lucy's here, she can open and close the door normally.
Hmm, somewhat similar to Gemini Jemini.
Although Lucy felt a little sad that she couldn't fight alongside the Celestials she knew for the time being, fortunately, their personalities hadn't changed, so getting to know them again wasn't too difficult.
Lucy thought for a moment, then asked apologetically, "Um, I'm so sorry, but if I need help in battle, could my Protoss companions lend me a hand?"
According to Chesgo, it will take them another two or three months to return to their original world.
During this period, there is no guarantee that there will be a need for combat.
This is the biggest problem for magic users who possess magical artifacts: once they lose their magical artifacts, their combat power will be greatly reduced, and they may even become weaklings.
Lucy used to not even understand Celestial Magic, but now she feels she should find an opportunity to ask Chess for advice on what kind of support magic would be suitable for her to learn.
As a fellow holder, her brother is definitely an exceptional monster!
A sweet smile spread across Lucy's face as she took Lucy's hand, saying matter-of-factly, "Of course! After all, a wadashi is a wadashi!"
It turns out that Lucy over there is also deeply in love with the Celestials!
"Arigato~!" Lucy said gratefully.
With Lucy's consent, she began to summon the Celestials one by one to explain the current situation.
The Protoss who knew the whole story were equally shocked, but Loki and Talos seemed unusually excited. One of them made the decision to have a unique date with the two Lucys, while the other kept shouting "Awesome!" and "Both Lucys have amazing bodies!"
Scumbags and perverts are obviously much more accepting of new things than ordinary Protoss.
After the commotion, and a friendly greeting from the neighbor over the wall, the rented room finally returned to peace.
The two Lucys lay on the bed looking like they'd done something wrong.
"Celestial Spirit Robe, huh? I never imagined Celestial Spirit magic could have such an effect, almost like Erza's costume-changing magic—"
Lucy sighed softly in the future, her beautiful eyes reflecting a deep sense of loss and frustration.
While greeting the Celestials, Lucy also gave her a demonstration of how to use the Celestial Robe.
The principle behind the Celestial Spirit Robe is to apply a portion of the Celestial Spirit's power to oneself while the door is open. The decisive factor lies in the Celestial Spirit Mage himself, and it has little to do with the strength of the Celestial Spirit, so it can be used normally.
"Although it took super difficult training to learn, if it's Vadashi, it'll definitely be no problem!" Lucy cheered from the side.
Under her guidance, Lucy tried several times in the future but failed each time, and even the Canis Minor Star Cloth could not be fully manifested.
"That's true! I'll try my best!"
Future Lucy was instantly filled with fighting spirit. Surrounded by a group of monsters, she naturally longed to become stronger. "Could you tell me about the specific training methods?"
"Um, this..."
Lucy's lips twitched, and the image of the hellish training she endured in the Paulidan Great Forest, where Chesgo forced her to fight all sorts of ferocious monsters, exhausting her magic only to have it healed back in an endless cycle, flashed before her eyes.
Even now, when she thinks of that short but incredibly painful time, her legs still feel weak.
Upon learning that such a brutal training method was required for "quick success," Lucy suddenly felt that a gradual approach might be more suitable for her.
In short, with the basic methods and theories in place, she will likely learn the Celestial Robe faster than in the original story.
"That devil, that seemingly reliable Chesgo, what kind of person is he?" Future Lucy asked curiously.
"He's a prankster who loves to play tricks on people, and a battle maniac who'd kill even cute little girls!"
Following the traditional approach of praising by first criticizing, Lucy felt she should first severely belittle Chase.
However, before she could finish saying "Yang," she seemed to suddenly realize something and froze on the spot.
If Chesgo didn't exist in this world...
"So, is your relationship with your father here still as strained as before?"
Upon hearing this, Future Lucy shrank back with a gloomy expression, her eyes instantly welling up with tears.
"My father... a year ago, he passed away due to overwork—."
He/She has passed away.
