Fairy Tail: You call this Celestial Magic?!

Chapter 166 A Special Fan (Please Subscribe!)

Lucy was very happy because she finally found the opportunity to meet her idol, which she had been looking forward to for a long time!

Lucy didn't ask her father for help again because she knew that her father was doing something very important and she couldn't bother him for such a small matter.

She was already very happy that her father could bring her a signed book by Moon, so it was understandable that he didn't have time to take her to see Moon.

Although these were all excuses Lucy made for herself, as long as she could convince herself, it was better than facing the cold reality.

Lucy carefully squeezed into the event venue and followed the queue closely. She had sneaked out on her own.

There was no way. If the servants caught her, they would definitely tell my father and take her back home.

So, even though sneaking out would cause some trouble to others, Lucy still chose to sneak out in order to see her idol.

Lucy was quite handy with this kind of thing. Every time she came to the Heartfilia Group headquarters to find her father, she did so secretly. This time, she just needed to repeat the same trick.

This signing event was held in a theater, because Moon was not only selling "Sherlock Holmes II" this time, but also warming up for the subsequent "Magnolia Concert".

So, while doing the book signing, Moen will also play a few songs.

This can also be seen as a way to give back to his fans. There is some overlap between his book fans and music fans, and it is important to convert the two groups into one.

Let those who like to read his books listen to his music, and those who like to listen to his music also read his books, which is double the happiness.

Moon takes this event very seriously and even brought Mira along. This will be Mira's first time to sing "Masayume Chasing" in public, so many of the people who came today are Mira's fans.

By doing this, Moon was using his own fame to attract traffic to Magnolia. This "Magnolia Concert" was officially organized by the city government and was intended to be a music festival.

The Magnolia City Government put in a lot of effort and invested a lot of money for this, and specifically asked Moon for help, and of course, gave him a lot of money.

Moon worked hard to attract traffic to the "Magnolia Concert", and of course he did not suffer any loss. The better Magnolia developed and the more prosperous it became, the better it would be for them, "Fairy Tail". At least the rewards for the missions they accepted would also increase.

There was no reason for Moon to refuse something that would benefit everyone. He had a strong sense of responsibility and would come even if it was just for the guild. It wasn't much trouble anyway.

"Little girl, are you here alone?"

Lucy was standing in line nervously when someone spoke to her.

She was a little girl who was not even twelve years old, but she was still very conspicuous among a group of adults. In fact, there were children in the theater, but children of her age were always accompanied by their parents. There was really no one who came alone like her.

"Well, alone."

Lucy's expression was gloomy. She pursed her lips and answered.

Seeing that all the children came accompanied by their parents, Lucy was naturally envious, but she knew that her father would not bring her here. She didn't even have the chance to talk to her father because her father had not been home for a long time.

When her father worked at the Heartfilia Group headquarters, the distance was not too far, so when her father was not home, she could often sneak over to see him.

But ever since the construction of the southern railway network began, Dad has rarely been to the Heartfilia Consortium headquarters to work.
This undoubtedly made it more difficult for Lucy to see her father, and she didn't know where to look for him if she wanted to.

"What a brave boy."

The people queuing around started praising Lucy who came alone. There was nothing they could do. They couldn't laugh at her for being so pitiful for coming alone, right?

"Children should go home early to avoid worrying the adults at home."

Some people tried to persuade her with good intentions, but this only touched Lucy's sore spot. No adults in her family cared about her. The adults in her family didn't even know what she had done.

Lucy lined up quietly and stopped talking to others. She didn't want to explain too much to those who didn't know her family situation. As Moon wrote in the book, it is difficult for people with different origins, backgrounds, and experiences to empathize with each other's pain.

"It finally begins!"

After waiting for a while, the book signing event officially began.

The long line began to move forward. Lucy was at the front of the line, but because of her height, she couldn't see what was happening in front of her. She could only hear people screaming from the front.

"Moen! Moen!"

"Mirajane!"

Amidst the numerous shouts for Morn, there were also sporadic shouts for Mirajane.

This surprised Lucy. Mirajane? Was it the Mirajane Strauss who sang "Masayume Chasing"?

Why is she here? Isn't this a book signing event for Sherlock Holmes II?

Lucy was full of doubts because she didn't know there would be other activities later. She thought it was just a simple book signing event.

After the people in front of her finished signing and left one by one, Lucy finally came to the front of the crowd and saw Moon, the person she had always hoped to meet.

Moon sat behind a long table with a smile on his face. He was dressed neatly and simply, and exuded a sunny and bright aura. He was very different from the rather eccentric Sherlock Holmes in the book. Of course, he was tall and handsome.

Lucy shifted her gaze and noticed that there was a girl sitting next to Moon, a girl with white hair tied into a ponytail. This should be Mirajane Strauss who sang "Masayume Chasing".

"Did you come here alone?"

Seeing the little blonde girl walking towards him alone, Moon was stunned for a moment, then asked. He looked at the child's face and had basically made a judgment in his mind.

"Well, I came here on my own."

Standing in front of the table and sitting on the chair with some effort, Lucy looked at Moon and answered seriously. It was the first time she met Moon and the first time she talked to Moon face to face. Lucy was very excited and happy. She was thinking about what Moon had written to her before.

"To Lucy, I hope you can grow up happily and become the person you want to be! - Morn Dolea."

Looking at Moon in front of her, Lucy really wanted to say "sorry" because she had not met Moon's expectations of her.

During this time, except for today, she had been unhappy, and whether she could become the person she wanted to be was not something she could decide for herself right now. "It's nice to meet you, Lucy, but I must apologize to you."

Just as Lucy was thinking about all kinds of things, Moon spoke to her. Before Lucy could say "I'm sorry", it was Moon sitting opposite her who apologized to her first.

"Why are you apologizing to me?"

Lucy asked stupidly, then she suddenly came to her senses.

“How do you know my name is Lucy?!”

Looking at Moen who had already guessed her identity, Lucy's face was full of confusion. This was obviously a development she had not expected before.

"Of course I can tell. I've met your father, Mr. Jiude, quite a bit lately. How could I not recognize his daughter? Your blond hair and the resemblance to your face allow me to make this judgment. It seems I'm not mistaken."

Moon smiled and began to explain. He seemed to be bullying an honest person. In fact, Lucy didn't look that much like Jiude. It was impossible to guess it so easily by looking at their appearance.

But Moon still recognized Lucy by her appearance, but he relied on Lucy's future appearance.

Although the current little Lucy is indeed very young compared to the "big Lucy" who traveled through time before, her appearance is still recognizable at a glance.

I have to say, apart from the fact that her body has not yet started to develop, there is really not much difference between Lucy when she was a child and when she grew up.

"Is that so?"

Little Lucy was confused, but she was really frightened by Moen's words.

The main reason was that she trusted Moen too much. She didn't think there was any need for Moen to lie to her. Moreover, what he said actually sounded quite reasonable. After all, no one would say that she and Jiude didn't look alike at all.

"Because of the railway construction in the south, Lucy must have seen less of Mr. Jiude recently, right? I bear some responsibility for this, as I've been urging the progress of the railway construction. That's why Mr. Jiude is so busy and has been on the front line in the south."

Moon had a smile on his face and apologized to Lucy. He had known before that Jiude neglected his daughter, and in recent times, Jiude basically did not go home. It was obvious that Lucy was going to grow up alone.

Faced with Moon's apology, Lucy couldn't help but look stunned. She didn't expect that Moon would apologize for this.

"You don't have to apologize, I'm actually used to it."

Lucy explained immediately that she didn't think there was anything wrong with what Moon did. The main reason was that she felt that even if Moon didn't urge her, her father would definitely be like this now.

No one knows a father better than his daughter. Lucy is still very confident about this matter, although she would rather not have this strange confidence.

"Mr. Ejude is indeed very dedicated and works very hard."

Since Lucy had already said so, Moon naturally couldn't refute it, but he felt even more sympathy for Lucy, the poor child.

Jiude is very conscientious, but he has obviously forgotten his responsibilities as a father.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. Don't be in a hurry to leave. Stay and wait for us. Based on the principle of being responsible to your friends, I have to keep an eye on you for Mr. Jiude."

Moon waved his hand and said to Lucy with a smile. He skipped the previous topic and invited Lucy to stay.

Lucy was willing to secretly come to attend his new book signing event, so she must be a loyal fan. Moon now invites her to join their team, which should make Lucy happier.

"Is it really possible?!"

Sure enough, after hearing Moon's words, Lucy's eyes lit up.

As a fan, she certainly hopes to stay, mainly because she is unwilling to give up the opportunity to communicate with Moendo. She has many questions to ask about "Sherlock Holmes".

"Of course, there's a small concert coming up soon."

Before Moon could speak, Mira, who had been observing Lucy from the side since she appeared, spoke up. She understood that this Lucy was the daughter of Jiude from the Heartfilia Group. She was obviously a real young lady, but she didn't know how she compared to the one who had just joined the guild.

Princess Jade's external identity is that of a rich girl. After all, she has no shortage of money and can spend a lot of time studying and practicing. An ordinary family background would definitely not be enough. It's just that no one knows that Jade is actually the king's daughter.

"I see. Thank you. You are Miss Mirajane, right?"

After hearing Mirajane's answer, Lucy nodded seriously, and then she asked Mirajane's name. Lucy hadn't paid much attention to Mirajane before, but she only knew that she became famous because of Moon's song "Masayume Chasing".

But after becoming famous, Mirajane did not show up in public too much and always kept a low profile. She just sang a few of Moon's works one after another, as if she just wanted to be Moon's exclusive singer and didn't care about anything else.

"Mira, thank you for your help here. Take Lucy out to play. I'll probably be busy for a while here."

Seeing Mira and Lucy chatting, Moon turned and said to Mira with a smile, Mira had been sitting next to him and helping, passing books, papers, pens and so on. This job was boring, so it would be better to let Mira accompany Lucy for a walk.

".Fine."

Mirajane curled her lips at Moon's arrangement, but finally agreed. She thought it was interesting to sit next to Moon and help, and she didn't find it boring. In comparison, she would definitely prefer to stay here with Moon.

However, Lucy's identity is different after all. Moon has always attached great importance to Jude's project, and Mira knows this, so she needs to help Moon take care of Lucy, the daughter of Jude Heartfilia.

"Come on, I'll show you around, and I'm also going to prepare the songs for the performance."

Mirajane stood up and told Lucy that she was going to take Lucy to visit the backstage of the theater and practice the piece she was going to perform. After all, this was her first public performance. Even though Mirajane was a fearless person, she couldn't help but feel a little nervous at this time.

"Well, thank you, Miss Mirajane."

Lucy responded, picked up the "Sherlock Holmes II" that Moon had just signed, stood up obediently and followed Mirajane.

Although she still had a lot to say to her idol Moon, she knew that her treatment was already special enough. If she continued to monopolize Moon and refused to leave, the other fans would probably explode.

In fact, her current special treatment has caused some discussion. Everyone has obviously noticed that Moon treats her very differently, and Mirajane even took her directly to the backstage of the theater.
