Fairy Tail: You call this Celestial Magic?!

Chapter 230 The Spirit of Contract (Please Subscribe!)
The investigation into Karen's killer ultimately boils down to "doing one's best and leaving the rest to fate," as no shortcuts will work.

The "Azure Pegasus" group mobilized extensively, but ultimately returned empty-handed; finding a murderer with no clues was indeed very difficult.

Rocky, on the other hand, ultimately did not choose to attend Karen's funeral. It wasn't until a few days after the funeral that he secretly went to see it by himself and stood silently in front of the grave.

"Ugh"

After letting out a long sigh, Loki put down the flowers in his hand, then turned and left, returning to Magnolia.

"I suggest you move to the Fairy House. It's too lonely living alone outside. The Fairy House is much more lively."

In the Fairy Tail guild hall, Moen spoke to Loki, who had just returned.

At this moment, Rocky looked much more normal than a few days ago. At least he had a smile on his face and was no longer looking bitter and resentful. He also started talking and communicating with his guildmates and made many new friends.

"The Fairy House?"

Rocky thought for a moment. He certainly remembered this place; it was the location of the previous S-level assessment venue.

However, Loki did not participate in the S-class assessment, so he did not actually go inside and was not very clear about what the "House of the Fairies" was like, only knowing that the place was quite large.

"Isn't Loki short of money? He just joined the guild and has no savings at all. Is he going to take out a full loan to move into the Fairy House?"

Upon hearing this, Gray asked curiously.

He was quite concerned about Rocky, his new companion. Although he was an ice mage, Gray was actually very warm-hearted and straightforward, not a real cold and aloof guy.

Whenever a new member joins the guild, Gray enthusiastically interacts with them and helps them integrate into "Fairy Tail".

"What's there to be afraid of? The guild's loan won't keep chasing us for repayment. We'll be able to pay it back sooner or later."

Moen didn't care about this. The guild's loan assistance was quite generous. As long as you wanted, you could get a loan to build a house.

"What will happen if I can't pay it back? What if I die, or lose the ability to complete missions?"

After learning the details of the housing loan for the "Fairy House," Loki asked a question that made Gray look at him with surprise.

Rocky thinks about a lot of details, but isn't he a bit too pessimistic? He looks like he might die at any moment.
Gray was puzzled. Was Rocky really such a pessimistic person? Did he always think of the worst-case scenario? People with that kind of personality must have a very tiring life.

"These are not things you should worry about; the guild will take care of everything."

Moen smiled and replied that even if the borrower dies after the loan is taken out, or loses the ability to repay the debt, there is no need to worry.

In that situation, the house will still be built. The death of the person will not affect the use of the house, and even if the person is disabled, the borrower can still move in, as a form of compensation from the guild.

"That sounds pretty good."

After hearing what Moen said, Rocky was genuinely tempted. There was no way he could resist; this mortgage was simply too good to pass up. After learning the details, it was hard not to be tempted.

"Think about it?"

Moen thought Rocky wouldn't refuse, as it would save a lot of money on rent, and the amenities available at the "Fairy House" were far superior to renting.

"Then let's take out a loan."

Sure enough, Rocky ultimately chose to stay at the "Fairy House," the conditions of which were so generous that there was no reason not to choose it.

"No problem, this is the contract."

Moen immediately took out a loan contract and handed it over, just like a seasoned real estate manager. Indeed, this was something he was in charge of, as the contract had been signed by countless guild members.

"."

Rocky was speechless for a moment, feeling as if he was about to be tricked. Moen's preparations were too thorough, making it hard not to be suspicious.

So Rocky picked up the contract and began to read it carefully, afraid of missing any hidden pitfalls. He was extremely meticulous.

In fact, Rocky's thinking was not wrong. Moen did intend to use this contract to bind him, but what he did not expect was that Moen did not play any tricks. He used an open strategy.

The content of the contract is of course not the problem, because the contract itself is the problem. Once the contract is signed, Loki will be completely bound to Fairy Tail.

Because Rocky has an incredibly strong sense of contractual obligation, he was able to tolerate even Kallen for so long, so he certainly won't be an exception with this contract. There's no need to worry about him breaking the contract.

"No problem, then I'll sign it."

Sure enough, after examining the contract for a long time, Rocky couldn't find any problems with the terms and could only sign it with some doubt.

"You can find a construction team to design and build the house. Just pick a location; these locations are all pretty good and close to the center."

Moen took the contract and put it away. Then he gave Rocky a map, which was a floor plan of the "Fairy House". He could choose the location to build his house directly on the map.

Rocky looked at the map and finally chose to build in a corner. This area was still quite spacious and was specifically reserved for expansion.

"Alright."

After glancing at Loki's choice, Moen nodded without saying much, since they were all within the "Fairy House" and not far apart.

"Newcomer, hand over your house to us."

The contract had just been signed when the tall Uncle Reinhardt approached, carrying a large hammer that exuded a menacing aura.

Rocky's face stiffened for a moment. He looked at Moen and felt more and more that he had been set up. It was a complete scheme orchestrated for him, leaving him no room for choice at all!

"Don't worry, Uncle Reinhardt and his team are very professional. Many of the houses in the Fairy House were built by them."

Moen returned a smile to Loki, who was looking at him, but to Loki, the smile seemed to conceal endless malice.

Rocky shook his head, dismissing all these thoughts; he had placed too much of a "devil's filter" on Moen.

“I also hired Uncle Reinhardt and his team for my house. They are really skilled and even helped me improve some unreasonable designs.”

At this point, Gray chimed in, saying that everything he said was true and he wasn't a shill, although he seemed to be in cahoots with Moen and Reinhardt, their main goal being to swindle Rocky out of his new loan.

"."

Rocky nodded and thought about it seriously. He believed that Gray's words were quite credible. The boy was very enthusiastic and had even introduced people to him before.

Rocky and Gray got along very well and had a pleasant conversation from their first meeting, quickly becoming familiar with each other.

"Okay, please."

Seeing Reinhardt's expectant face, Rocky agreed to hand over the project to them, as it would indeed save them a lot of trouble.

Besides, everyone here is a Fairy Tail mage, so I can be a little more at ease. Leaving it to outsiders would require special supervision. "Alright! Brothers! Let's get to work!"

Upon receiving the new project, Reinhardt shouted excitedly, and his fellow construction workers echoed his sentiments.

"."

Loki was startled. Although he had been a member for a few days, he was still not quite used to it. The people in Fairy Tail always seemed to be easily startled, and the guild was always lively.

'Actually, the Protoss Realm is quite lively.'
Seeing this scene before him, Rocky couldn't help but think of this. His face stiffened, but it was a pity that he could never go back.

Rocky's sadness didn't last long, because he still had to work hard to earn money and pay off his loans.

Although the loan term is very generous and there is no need to feel any urgency, once the contract has been signed, Rocky will keep thinking about it, and he will never have peace of mind if he doesn't pay back the money as soon as possible.

People who are busy making a living have no right to be leisurely.

It wasn't until he started working that Rocky seemed to realize the huge pitfall in the "contract," but it was too late for him to back out.

More than a month later, standing in front of his new house, Rocky's expression was quite emotional. He now had a house in the "human world," although it didn't actually belong entirely to him yet, as he still had to continue paying off the loan. But at least it was his in name.

"Hello, Mr. Rocky, we'll be neighbors from now on."

As Rocky was lost in thought, someone interrupted him. Rocky looked at the person and saw a young man with black hair.

"I am Alzak Konell, and I recently joined the guild."

Alzak introduced himself with a smile. He hadn't spoken to Loki yet because after Alzak joined, Loki had entered "quest maniac" mode and was frantically doing quests to save money to pay off his debts.

"Oh, I know you! I heard the newcomer is an immigrant from the western continent, a sunny and handsome young man. So it's you!"

Rocky nodded, looking as if he had just realized something.

"I heard that quite a few immigrants have come from here. Is the situation in the Western Continent very bad?"

Loki asked curiously, remembering that Gray had told him before that Fairy Tail had received many immigrants from the western continent, some of whom, who knew magic, joined the guild as mages, and this Alzac Cornel was one of them.

"Anyway, it's not as comfortable as Magnolia."

Alzak shrugged and didn't say much about the Western Continent.

"Your house is finished too, was it also built by Reinhardt and his team?"

Seeing that Alzak was unwilling to say more, Loki didn't ask any further questions. He didn't know much about the Western Continent either, and he just asked casually. His gaze fell on another house next to his own courtyard, which must be Alzak's new home.

"That's right, it was Uncle Reinhardt and the others who helped."

Alzak nodded. His house was built a little later than Rocky's, but they were completed at almost the same time.

"No wonder."

Loki understood immediately. No wonder the original one-month construction period had dragged on for so long; it turned out they had been distracted by building the Alzac house.

In this corner, only their two houses were close together, which was quite suitable for construction to be carried out together. Rocky did not intend to pursue the matter, after all, the other party had paid for his accommodation during the extended period, and he had not lost anything because of it.

"Would you like to come over for a bit? Quite a few people will be coming over soon."

Rocky extended an invitation to Alzac.

“Mr. Moen just informed me that he wanted me to come along, so it’s like we’re having our housewarming party together.”

Alzak began to explain Moen's arrangements; he had come for a reason, not simply to say hello to his neighbor.

"This guy didn't even notify me."

Rocky muttered a complaint under his breath, but didn't refuse. Instead, he led his neighbor, Alzak Konell, into the house first.

Before long, a lively sound came from outside, and children chattered as they entered Rocky's courtyard.

"Sister Biska, is your Western Continent as big as the Kingdom of Fiore?"

Wendy stood next to a girl with bright green hair and asked curiously.

"Of course it's bigger than the Kingdom of Fiore, after all, it's an entire continent, but I don't know if it's bigger than the continent of Ishgar."

Bisca replied with a smile, her eyes full of affection as she looked at the little girl Wendy.

Wendy has never lacked love in "Fairy Tail". Everyone likes her and takes good care of her, even Bisca, whom she has only known for a short time. This is because the girl is always so cute, well-behaved and understanding.

"This is Bisca Mulan, also an immigrant from the Western Continent, who has now joined us in Fairy Tail as a mage."

After entering Rocky's house, Moen first introduced the newcomer to Rocky. This woman with bright green hair, Biska Mulan, had come with Alzak Connell and the others.

"."

Looking at Bisca, Rocky couldn't help but pause for a moment.

"What's wrong, Rocky?"

Moen waved his hand in front of Rocky's face. Staring at the girl like that was really impolite.

Moen keenly noticed that Alzak's expression towards Loki had become wary, as if he were looking at a love rival.

Arzak and Bisca, both from the Western Continent and from the same group of immigrants, naturally knew each other before.

Judging from Alzak's expression, he clearly had different feelings for Bisca, even though they were only ten-year-old children.
"Sorry, I've thought of that."

Awakened by Moen, Loki awkwardly wanted to explain, but then immediately stopped himself, saying that Biska's emerald green hair reminded him of Kallen, which seemed a bit inappropriate.
In reality, Biska and Karen are not very similar. Their expressions, demeanor, and appearances are completely different. Karen is somewhat sharp and has a fierce look, while Biska is bright and generous. Moreover, Biska is obviously more youthful than Karen.

Does it resemble someone you used to know?

Looking at Rocky, Bisca covered her mouth and laughed. This was really cliché. This Mr. Rocky was quite interesting.

"stare!"

After hearing Bisca's words, Alzak's gaze toward Loki became even sharper.

"This is a huge misunderstanding."

Moen sighed and rubbed his forehead. He had figured out what was going on with Rocky, but it was really hard to explain because Rocky's current identity was best kept separate from Karen Lilika.
