Fairy Tail: All Magic Converges in One Body

Although her steps were more steady than Kana's, a closer look revealed a slight unnaturalness.

Mirajane looked Erza up and down, clicking her tongue in amazement, "As expected of a Dragon Slayer Mage, her endurance is much stronger than that stubborn drunkard."

Erza smiled and looked at Cana, "Of course, since Cana is just a card mage, she was the first to beg for mercy last night."

Kana's lips twitched, and she said irritably, "Can we not talk about last night? It's like you guys didn't faint."

The atmosphere suddenly became quiet.

The three women exchanged a glance and sighed simultaneously.

Last night, they faced off three against one, confidently determined to devour Hope completely, but instead, they were utterly routed by that beast.

Kana was the first to surrender. This usually generous and magnanimous drinker was surprisingly sensitive. Hope had only taken off a few times when she started rambling incoherently.

Then there's Erza. Although she's now a Dragon Slayer Mage and her well-trained physique far surpasses that of ordinary people, she couldn't withstand Hope's seemingly endless onslaught and completely lost consciousness after reaching her peak for the third time.

Mirajane was the only one who persevered to the end.

"Mira, how did you do that?"

Kana leaned against the wall, looking at Mirajane with curiosity. "Erza and I feel like our bones are about to fall apart, how come you look like nothing happened?"

Mirajane smiled slightly, a hint of smugness flashing in her eyes.

It wasn't that she could withstand more damage than the two of them, but rather that as a "receiving mage," she possessed some special... methods.

Last night, when she was about to collapse, she received the "Soul of Madness" and the "Soul of Sera" in succession, and used the "Enhancement Spell" and the "Command Spell" on herself.

The enhancement spell increased her body's stamina and recovery ability, while the command spell forcibly suppressed her fatigue, allowing her to continue fighting.

Even so, she couldn't completely withstand it.

Finally, Mirajane received the "Soul of Lucifer," which finally prevented her from losing her composure like Cana and Erza.

But it was too embarrassing to talk about these things, so Mirajane decided to keep them to herself. She put a finger to her lips and said with a smile.

"secret."

Kana curled her lip. "Tch, stingy."

Erza's gaze sharpened. She knew her former nemesis and current best friend all too well, so she immediately retorted, "It's just 'receiving' magic, isn't it? As your demon souls, Lucifer, Kyouka, and Sera must be exhausted."

Mirajane: "......"

The three women talked as they walked downstairs.

After a night, they were all exhausted and desperately needed food to replenish their energy and restore their strength, but strangely, Hope, who usually prepared breakfast for them, was not there.

Where is Hope?

"I don't know, he's probably off somewhere having fun again."

"Fun? What kind of fun is more interesting than ours?"

"Uh......"

The three women arrived at the restaurant, where a long oak dining table was already set with all sorts of breakfast dishes.

Toasted bread, French toast, fresh fruit, cheese platter, smoked salmon, pan-fried bacon... steaming hot muffins piled up like a small mountain, accompanied by maple syrup and whipped cream.

The air was filled with the aroma of food.

Eileen sat at one end of the dining table, wearing a deep red dress, her long crimson hair braided into a loose plait that hung down in front of her chest.

"Good morning."

Eileen looked up, smiled slightly at the three women, and asked knowingly, "How did you sleep last night?"

Erza and Cana's expressions both froze for a moment.

Mirajane, however, remained calm and smiled as she pulled out a chair and sat down. "I rested very well, thank you for your concern, Lady Eileen."

"Hey, just call me Sister Eileen, calling me 'Master' is too formal." Eileen picked up her coffee cup, took a sip, and casually glanced at the three of them.

When Kana sat down, holding onto the back of the chair, she frowned slightly. Erza also sat down a little slower than usual. Only Mirajane was completely normal, showing no discomfort in her movements.

This girl is something else.

Eileen raised an eyebrow but didn't say anything more.

Erza sat down next to Erin, putting food on her plate, and noticed her mother's tired face. "Mom, didn't you sleep well last night? You look so tired."

Of course I didn't get enough rest, your men are just too vigorous.

Oh, by the way, he's my man now too...

Eileen paused slightly in her coffee cup, a barely perceptible hint of guilt flashing in her eyes.

She lowered her eyes and said calmly, "Really? Maybe it's because my body isn't used to sleeping yet. After all, I haven't slept for twenty years, so suddenly being able to sleep makes me feel restless."

Erza didn't think much of it and nodded. "Then you should rest early today and not overwork yourself."

Eileen responded and lowered her head to continue drinking her coffee, without looking into her daughter's eyes.

It's not that she doesn't want to see, it's that she's afraid to. The bolder she was when she offered herself to Hope last night, the more timid Erin is in front of Erza now.

But there was nothing she could do; she wanted Hope too much, and that brat had opened the window to her heart.

We must take responsibility!

Just thinking about what happened last night made Eileen's cheeks burn.

That brat may look young, but his methods are incredibly sophisticated, especially his hands, which seem to emit electric shocks; every touch sent shivers down her spine.

But in front of Hope, all his so-called experience and composure were worthless.

The man touched her lightly, and her body felt as if it had been set on fire—hot, soft, and utterly defenseless.

What's even more terrifying is that she actually enjoyed it.

They even willingly succumb to depravity.

Even...

Eileen tightened her legs, forcibly suppressing those extremely shameful images.

I can't think about it anymore.

Chapter 433 Hope, save me!

Kana picked up a pancake and stuffed it into her mouth, asking indistinctly, "Sister Eileen, where is everyone else? Why aren't they here?"

"They've all gone out to play; some are fighting, and some are shopping."

"There's one more thing. Yesterday, Mavis and Hades went to stay at August's manor. You'll probably see each other again in the capital."

Eileen put down her coffee cup, her face still showing her usual calm and composed demeanor. "By the way, the three of you came down too late. It's already high in the sky outside."

At this point, a hint of resentment flashed in Eileen's eyes. She couldn't even close her legs properly, otherwise why would she have been sitting in the restaurant for so long? It was because she was worried about being recognized.

Kana stuck out her tongue.

Erza continued to deal with the food.

Mirajane was the only one who felt that Eileen was acting strangely. She noticed that Eileen looked tired and her face was slightly flushed. Although she hid it well, Mirajane still noticed it.

In the past, Mirajane wouldn't have thought there was anything wrong with it.

But now that she's in a position of power, she feels that Eileen's situation is somewhat similar to theirs, who were tormented all night.

Could it be that...

Detective Mira's eyes sharpened.

Ah, I see. She understood.

No matter how powerful Eileen is, she is still a woman after all, and she has been forced to suppress her emotions for more than 400 years because of her dragon transformation. So she must have been playing alone in QQ Space until very late last night, which is why she looks so tired today!

Single, mature women are so pitiful, unlike us who have Hope to use...

Mirajane couldn't help but cast a pitying glance at Eileen.

Sensing something amiss, Eileen turned to look at her, only to see Mirajane give her a knowing, knowing smile.

Eileen immediately felt extremely uneasy and panicked, suspecting that Mirajane had discovered what she and Hope had done secretly the night before while her daughter and her friend were asleep.

Looks like I'll have to invite her to my QQ space to silence her—no, to shut her up.

With her extensive experience, Eileen has nine methods to ensure that Mirajane will keep quiet about this matter forever.

Just then, Erza, who was completely unaware of Irene's unusual behavior, suddenly asked, "Mom, have you seen Hope?"

Erza actually missed Hope a little after just a short absence. Hope was actually quite a homebody; unless he was looking for fun, he spent most of his time at home.

What's more, his loved ones are here.

"You mean that kid? He's in the back mountain."

Eileen's manor was so large that she even had the leisure to choose a scenic hill with hot springs and magically move it into her own garden.

Seeing that Erza and the other two had almost finished eating, Irene stood up and said, "Let's go, I'll take you there."

A crimson magical light burst forth, and the four people, along with their chairs, vanished from the restaurant in an instant, appearing a second later on the mountaintop behind the manor.

The air on the mountaintop was fresh and shrouded in a light mist in the morning.

In the lush grove, a few birds occasionally fly past the treetops, chirping sweetly.

In this tranquility, a person sits cross-legged suspended in mid-air.

It was Hope.

He closed his eyes, his hands rested naturally on his knees, his body suspended in mid-air, with no magical fluctuations around him, as if he had become one with the natural environment around him.

The sunlight shone on him, giving him a faint golden halo.

"What is he doing?" Kana tilted her head, looking curious.

“Could it be meditation?” Mirajane said uncertainly.

Erza stared at Hope for a few seconds, then shook her head. "No, when you meditate, magic flows in a regular pattern. What he's doing now is more like... enlightenment."

Eileen gazed at the man she had spent a night with not far away, her eyes filled with complex emotions, and she couldn't help but recall how humiliating she had been under him last night.

Tongue out, eye roll, anime face...
