“That sounds interesting,” Mirajane said with a smile.
Kana shook the bottle in her hand. "I don't really care, I just want to know if there's a reward for winning the fight... oh, I mean the exchange meeting?"
Erza facepalmed, before she could even utter a word of complaint.
"Wow! I want to try it too!"
"Are there any transcendents here? If not, I'll take on ten cats from the Western Continent!"
"Harpy, Lily, what are you doing getting involved in this...?"
Amidst Charlotte's complaints, the petite literary girl Levy also revealed her desire for battle, while only Lucy and Wendy trembled in fear amidst the group of battle-crazed individuals.
Is this fight absolutely inevitable?
They were just traveling in Albay...
August looked at Mavis, then at Eileen, ignoring Hades and Makarov, and finally fixed his gaze on the cheeky young man.
"Hope, what do you think?"
"I have no objection."
Hope, who had just teased Agil, sat down, popped a peanut into his mouth, turned his head, looked at the battle maniacs in his guild, and smiled innocently.
The battle between Natsu and Agil was exciting, and everyone was still a little unsatisfied.
After all, traveling from the Eastern Continent to the Western Continent involves nothing but traveling. If there's a legitimate reason to fight, why wouldn't they want to?
Hope looked at Makarov, seeking his opinion.
The chairman has to make the decision on this.
Makarov nodded slightly. Even if he disagreed, he, an old man, couldn't stop his group of battle-crazed juniors.
Moreover, both Makarov and Hope have absolute faith in their own people. Fairy Tail mages are not to be trifled with by just anyone.
“We agree.” Hope changed the subject, looking at the expressionless General Winter. “By the way, surely your Albarees has more than just Agil as a young genius?”
Imber was a smart man and immediately understood the hidden meaning in Hope's words.
Does your empire still have any capable fighters? Call them out for a test.
That just so happens that he had the same idea.
Imber nodded, silently noting the Fairy Tail members' reactions. Calm, decisive, belligerent, and with ample confidence in their own abilities.
As a candidate for the next Grand Consul of the Empire, it is necessary for Imber to know the level of mages on other continents, as well as to understand the strength of his colleagues.
The Fairy Tail group was far stronger than he had imagined.
If this opportunity can be used to test the true strength of Ishgar's strongest mage guild, it will be of great reference value for the Empire's future strategic deployment.
"If that's the case, then it's settled."
Auguste made the decision, "However, most of the Empire's high-ranking mages hold important positions and are scattered throughout the country. It would take at least a day to gather them all."
"How about two days later, in the capital?"
Hope thought for a moment and nodded, "Okay, we can invite Jelf to come and watch too. By the way, what is your Emperor doing? Even your mother-in-law doesn't know he's back."
"What about His Majesty..."
Imber hesitated for a moment, but considering August and Mavis's identities, he chose to tell the truth: "His Majesty took one of our mages into seclusion to study magic, and before leaving he specifically instructed us not to reveal the news of his return."
Hope's eyes lit up. "Seclusion? Is the mage with Zeref male or female?"
Is this the key point?
Imber replied helplessly, "It's a girl, her name is Timalia."
"Oh~ So, Toshi is a female mage."
Hope smiled knowingly and immediately tried to get Mavis to "catch them in the act." Although Jelf wasn't a fickle person, he wanted to see some fun.
Seeing Hope's expression, Eileen knew he was up to no good. She couldn't let this kid take advantage of her kindness and cause trouble.
Augustus, also protective of his "father" and fearing that Mebius might misunderstand, explained, "Timalia's strength is above Agil's, and her potential is extremely high. Over the years, she has earned the title of 'War Consort' in the army."
So, does that mean she's a good fighter?
“That’s right. Timaria is said to be a descendant of Chronos, the god of time. Although her bloodline is now diluted, she can still manipulate time. Her most proficient magic is ‘time stop’.”
Whoa whoa whoa!
It's time stopped!
Hope's eyes lit up; this kind of magic was one of the abilities that all perverts dreamed of, on par with "invisibility" and "hypnosis."
In just a short moment, Hope had already imagined ten different scenarios for each of Erza, Mirajane, and Cana.
Erza, who had already tasted the forbidden fruit, blushed and secretly pinched Hope's waist hard. "Be serious, there are so many people here."
"Oh? So Erza, you know what Hope is thinking?" Mirajane came over after smelling the scent, and the two looked Erza up and down.
Actually, when she saw Erza today, she felt something was off, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.
Erza felt extremely uncomfortable under their gazes. She was actually a little guilty in front of Mirajane and Cana; they had all agreed on who would go first with Hope, but she had gotten there first...
Unaware of the situation, Cana came over and cheerfully smoothed things over: "Oh, Mira, don't you know Hope? He was definitely thinking about Serissa just now, otherwise why would Erza have dragged him out?"
"Is that so?" Mirajane was somewhat shaken.
“That’s right! That’s exactly it!” Erza replied decisively.
Mirajane narrowed her eyes. She knew Erza too well and almost instantly noticed the hint of panic hidden in her. Erza must be hiding something from herself and Cana.
Mirajane, channeling her inner detective, suddenly spoke up as her eyes gleamed, "Erza, you and Hope didn't come home all night yesterday, you two... you ate together, didn't you!"
How did you know?!
Erza immediately regretted her words as soon as they left her mouth.
Mirajane looked at her with a half-smile. In fact, she knew nothing. She had just wanted to trick Erza with a casual remark, but she didn't expect Erza to actually admit it.
Cana felt like a clown, and she even tried to cover for Erza, only to find out that her best friend wanted to dye her hair green.
In short, everyone agreed to eat Hope together.
It's wrong of you to speak first.
Your sisters are of one heart with you, yet you try to outsmart them!
Amidst the puzzled gazes of the crowd, Cana and Mirajane lifted Erza, who was too guilty to resist, from either side, and then both looked at Hope.
"Come on! Follow me inside!" ×2
Chapter 429 Just give in to them.
Before Hope could react, she saw Erza being grabbed by the arms by Mirajane and Cana, one on each side. The two women were incredibly strong at that moment, which was why Erza dared not resist.
"Etc., etc!"
"Wait for what?"
Kana turned around and glared at him, her eyes filled with a mixture of anger, resentment, and an inexplicable urgency. "You've already taken all of Erza, and we haven't even had a sip of the soup!"
Mirajane's grip didn't loosen at all, and she whispered with a smile in Hope's ear, "Erza alone can't satisfy you, can she?"
Hope's lips twitched, and she subconsciously looked at Erza, who was being held up in front of her.
Erza's face was as red as a ripe apple. She lowered her head, not daring to look at anyone. Her long, crimson hair covered half of her face, revealing only one ear that was burning red.
That appearance had absolutely no trace of the demeanor of a fairy queen.
She's clearly an innocent young girl caught cheating by her best friend.
"Elsa, aren't you going to say something?" Hope tried to plead for help. Although he would love to, it was impossible for him to go inside, given the large number of people watching.
Erza's ears turned even redder, but she still didn't look up. She just squeezed out a few words through her teeth, her voice barely audible, "I...I can't control them."
"Why don't you just give in to Kana and Mirajane, Hope...?"
Look, look, look, is this human language?
Erza has completely given up resisting.
Hope was being dragged towards the main building of the manor. As they passed the crowd, she waved to them, saying, "Everyone, I have to go first. Don't wait for me, see you tomorrow!"
"go Go."
Natsu waved his hand, completely unaware of what Hope and the others were doing. Instead, he excitedly pulled Gajeel aside to discuss the battle they had just fought, asking, "Wasn't it cool when I beat up Black-skinned Ram?"
"That kid's name is clearly Agil, okay..."
Gajeel rolled his eyes at him. "Besides, if it were me, I would definitely finish the battle much faster than you."
"Hmph, just some guy who lost his right to challenge indulging in wishful thinking."
"Do you want to fight?! Fire Dragon!"
"Fine, let's fight!"
"..."
Lucy and Levy exchanged a glance, both seeing a tacit, awkward understanding in each other's eyes.
Wendy tilted her head in confusion and asked Xia Lulu with an innocent look, "Xia Lulu, why did Sister Mira and the others take Brother Hope away? Are they going to have a meeting?"
Xia Lulu covered her face with her cat paws, "You'll understand when you grow up."
"Huh? We want to know too!" Happy Cat raised its paw.
Even the highly skilled and unfathomable Lili said in a deep voice, "What's there to be curious about? It's just what animals like to do in spring."
"So what exactly happened?"
"Of course, we'll pay..."
"Shut up!" ×2
Levy and Lucy said in unison.
Xia Lulu kicked Lili in a flying cat kick, sending him flying in an arc. Adults should understand this kind of thing, but don't corrupt my pure and lovely little Wendy!
Compared to the excitement of the young people, the elders seemed much more composed, just like Hades firmly holding Makarov down with both hands at this moment.
