Fairy Tail: I Am the God

"Looks like we'll have to sleep on the streets tonight."

Tatsumi thought for a moment and then shook his head. He threw his duffel bag on the street corner and lay down on it, ready to sleep on the streets.

Just as Tatsumi hugged his knees and prepared to close his eyes, three shadows slanted across him in the dim light.

Tatsumi raised his head, his face innocent and his eyes blank as he looked at the three of them. Suddenly, he saw Hancock's stunning beauty. Although Tatsumi was captivated by her, having learned his lesson, he became cautious.

Somewhat wary, he questioned, "What are you trying to do?"

"us……"

Just as Hancock and her two companions were about to answer, two horses suddenly appeared in the distance, pulling a carriage behind them—clearly a mode of transportation only the wealthy could afford.

Tread-tap-

The carriage approached and stopped in front of the four. Two soldiers who looked like bodyguards alighted from the carriage, then lifted the curtain, and a beautiful young woman with short blonde hair stepped out. She was dressed in an elegant, refined manner, like a wealthy young lady, and slowly walked up to the four.

The blonde heiress looked at Tatsumi, Hancock, Zoro, and Mumen Rider and said, "If you all don't have a place to stay, would you like to come to my house?"

Tatsumi looked wary, his eyes filled with distrust.

Zoro and his two companions exchanged glances and nodded, agreeing that it was pointless and that they were willing to stay at the young lady's house.

"And what about you?" the young lady asked, looking at Tatsumi.

Tatsumi said suspiciously, "I don't have any money."

Unexpectedly, the young lady burst out laughing and said lightly, "If you had money, you wouldn't be sleeping on the streets here, would you?"

Two soldiers stepped forward, one of them, an older man, said, "Miss Arya simply can't ignore people like you, so please accept this as a favor."

"Hmm, do you want to go?" the rich young lady Arya asked with a smile.

Tatsumi blushed, scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly, and said, "Okay, okay, it's much better than sleeping on the streets."

The wealthy young lady, Arya, smiled and winked, saying, "Then it's settled. Let's go."

……

Led by the wealthy young lady Arya, Tatsumi, Zoro, and the others arrived at a huge manor.

The estate is vast, covering several thousand square meters, and within it stands a massive building—the villa built within the estate. At night, the villa is dazzlingly lit, a sight to behold.

"Oh, Arya has brought people back again."

In the main hall of the villa, the person sitting at the head of the table was the owner of the villa, who was also Arya's father. Behind him were several soldiers and bodyguards, and Arya's mother and Arya herself sat on either side of him.

Standing there were a few people who seemed out of place in this environment; naturally, they were Tatsumi, Zoro, and the other two.

"They've all gotten into the habit. How many people is this again?" Arya's mother chuckled.

“Mom…” Arya said sweetly.

Tatsumi couldn't help but look around. It was his first time coming out of the countryside, and he naturally had to take a closer look at such a large place. In contrast, Zoro and the other two were much calmer.

"It seems Miss Arya has a kind heart and a willingness to help others," the unlicensed knight chuckled.

"Um... I'm really very grateful this time."

Tatsumi snapped out of his daze and thanked them in return. However, his gaze then fell on the soldiers behind Arya's father. He thought to himself, "These men look incredibly strong. Perhaps it's because of these powerful soldiers around me..."

That's why they could accept a stranger like me with such impunity. It turns out there are still kind people like them in the capital. It makes me feel so warm...

“Thank you so much for taking us in,” Tatsumi said again.

Zoro, a man of few words, nodded slightly as a gesture of thanks.

Since joining the Main God Space and becoming a reincarnator, Hancock's personality has changed a lot. She smiled and said, "Well, thank you for taking us in."

"Wow, you're so pretty, and your hair is so smooth..."

Arya was completely captivated by Hancock's stunning beauty, and the others echoed her praise, especially the young and strong men, and even the owner of the manor, Arya's father, began to have his own designs on her.

Hancock simply smiled and made no comment.

……

After several rounds of tea, Arya's father, having tasted the strong red tea, said calmly, "I see. So you want to join the army, make a name for yourself, rise to prominence, and save your hometown village?"

"Yes."

Tatsumi answered seriously.

Arya's father put down his teacup and said calmly, "But let me tell you, although the capital is peaceful, the empire is surrounded by foreign races. You might be sent across the border to fight them!"

“I’ve already come to my senses!” Tatsumi said earnestly.

"I see, that's truly admirable fighting spirit! That's how young people should be!"

Arya's father said, his face full of emotion, as if he also missed his younger self.

"Does Tatsumi know these three?" Arya asked, looking at Zoro and the others.

"No, we've only just met."

The unlicensed rider shook his head.

"Well, I wasn't originally alone. I came out of the village with two other people, but we got separated when we encountered bandits along the way."

Tazumi spoke slowly,

"I see, how unfortunate." Arya's father shook his head.

"So you came to the capital?" Arya's father asked, looking at Zoro and the other two.

"We've heard that it's easy to make money in the capital, so we've all come here in search of wealth."

The unlicensed knight laughed, making a money-counting gesture with his fingers.

"Yes, that's right." Hancock nodded.

Zoro nodded, not denying it.

“That’s perfect. We’re short-handed here. If the three of you are up to the task, I’m willing to pay a high price to hire you all.”

Arya's father nodded and smiled.

"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey."

"Has this empire truly decayed?"

The unlicensed rider stood by the window, looking out at the distant capital city. The city was brightly lit and bustling with activity. It was hard to believe that such blatant disregard for human life could be happening behind the scenes.

“I have a gut feeling that these imperial nobles are even more cruel than the Celestial Dragons. The Celestial Dragons treat people as slaves and dogs, while the nobles here take pleasure in torturing and killing people. I can smell the blood and resentment in the air.”

Zoro said coldly,

"I can hear the cries from people's hearts... It's tragic, it's pitiful..."

A look of reluctance crossed Hancock's face; with her Conqueror's Haki, she could hear the underlying voice.

"Then we don't need to hold back."

The unlicensed knight looked at the prosperous empire in the distance and said calmly, "I serve the people and uphold the justice in my heart."

……

The next day, as the sun rose to the mountainside, the capital city appeared peaceful and serene under the bright sunshine.

"Let's go to that store next."

Arya pointed happily at the shop, with exhausted soldiers, a shocked Tatsumi, and a somewhat impatient Zoro behind her.

"Please wait, young lady."

The soldiers, carrying gift bags four or five meters taller than themselves, shouted,

"This young lady really knows how to shop! I feel like this is way beyond what's considered interesting!"

Tazumi exclaimed in shock.

"It's not just young ladies; I think every woman would feel this way."

The soldier standing next to the carriage said,

"Not necessarily, I rarely see people like that."

Hancock, holding a small gift bag, smiled faintly.

"What's inside?"

Tazumi asked with some curiosity,

"A rather nice bottle of perfume." Hancock shook it, then looked at Tatsumi and smiled. She still had a fairly good impression of this innocent boy.

"Tsk tsk, it's really beautiful."

The soldier stood to the side, clicking his tongue in disbelief, secretly thinking to himself, "This is a female demon!"

However, he quickly calmed himself down and looked ahead. There was a huge inner city, surrounded by a massive, thick wall hundreds of feet high.

"Look there, that's the heart of the capital, the palace!"
