Fairy Tail: All Magic Converges in One Body

This time, the power increased by 25,000 horsepower, and now the total power of 225,000 horsepower gives Hope absolute confidence to face the so-called "nine out of ten chances of survival" divination result.

Ha, a near-death experience?

Even if he were that elusive, clueless god of life and death, he could still be dragged out and killed right now!

If a fellow traveler dies at the Imperial Capital Exchange Meeting a day from now, Hope will smash the entire Imperial Capital of Albares on the spot and sink the Western Continent!

Innocent Western Continent: Am I going to die too...?

Having grown considerably in strength, Hope was in high spirits. He leaped into the air, riding the wind, and in the blink of an eye, he was back in the center of the manor.

Erza and Cana have already gone out shopping. The entire city of Florasia is Erin's territory, and the residents here are all Erin's die-hard fans.

Yesterday, Eileen had her white-stockinged maid Juliet spread the word throughout the city that her daughter had returned.

Princess Erza should definitely make an appearance.

Erza and Cana were not found, but Hope made other discoveries.

Looking at Mirajane, whose face was flushed red in the living room, and Eileen, whose eyes were darting around and clearly had a serious problem, Hope narrowed his eyes slightly.

Seeing that they were unwilling to speak, Hope had no choice but to use her mind-reading ability.

However, this look almost made Hope's eyes pop out.

In short, Eileen thought that Mirajane had discovered her affair with Hope, so she planned to use some R18 methods to shut Mirajane up.

Comila Jane believed from beginning to end that Eileen was just amusing herself last night...

This is a huge misunderstanding.

However, Eileen's indescribable R18 methods and props... Hope looked at the two of them and couldn't help but clap his hands, "You guys are really something else."

Seeing Mirajane's mixture of shame, anger, and grievance, Hope quickly went up and hugged her. "Okay, okay, this is just a misunderstanding. If you're unhappy, I'll let you hear Eileen begging for forgiveness tonight."

"A...a plea for mercy?" Mirajane was completely bewildered.

Eileen, however, was getting impatient. "Hope!"

Hope shrugged and didn't continue.

Comira Jane wasn't stupid; Eileen's eagerness and Hope's composure just now made her suddenly think of a possibility.

What if Eileen wasn't actually alone last night? What if the person she was with last night was...

Mirajane's heart suddenly raced.

No way?!

Erza's mother and Hope?!

That makes sense, that makes sense.

So, the reason I was "trained" by this old woman for an hour was because of her affair with Hope!

Mirajane felt it was time for her to turn to the dark side.

She pushed Hope down onto the sofa, then sat on his chest, touching his abs while looking at the surprised Eileen with a half-smile.

"Lady Irene, you don't want Erza to know about this either, do you?"

Eileen: It's over!

Chapter 435 Confession, Woodcutter's Knife

Sunlight streamed into the living room through the floor-to-ceiling windows, casting warm dappled patterns on the carpet.

Mirajane looked down at Eileen with a victorious smile on her lips, as if she had completely subdued this powerful female mage.

Eileen has lived for over four hundred years, experiencing betrayal, war, the destruction of a nation, and even dragonification. What kind of storms hasn't she weathered? Yet, at this moment, a rare hint of embarrassment appeared on her face.

If Erza knew what happened between her and Hope...

Eileen didn't dare to think any further.

She took a deep breath, her eyes turning dangerous, and where Mirajane couldn't see, crimson magic flickered faintly.

Should we simply use "Enchanting Spells" to erase Mirajane's memories, or... go even further and turn her into a vassal who will forever obey our commands?

Just as Eileen was hesitating about how to deal with Mirajane, a hand reached out from behind Mirajane and gently patted her on the head.

"Alright, stop fooling around."

Hope's voice carried a hint of helplessness, along with an indescribable smile. He lifted Mirajane off his lap and placed her on the sofa beside him.

“This can’t be kept secret.” Hope glanced at Eileen, then at Mirajane, and finally sighed softly.

Eileen's heart skipped a beat. "What...do you mean?"

Hope did not answer, but simply raised her hand and made a light gesture in the air.

A pale blue arc took shape at his fingertips, rapidly expanding into a portal shimmering with watery light—'Wings of Water' was activated.

A few seconds later, the two figures were teleported back.

Erza and Cana each carried shopping bags, their faces beaming with the satisfied smiles typical of shopaholics. Cana was carrying a large bag of alcohol, while Erza was holding up a newly bought dress and trying it on.

"Hope?" Kanasa blinked.

"How come we're suddenly teleported back? We haven't paid for our clothes yet." Erza stopped abruptly halfway through her sentence.

She keenly sensed that something was off about the atmosphere in the living room.

Her mother, Eileen, looked somewhat stiff and seemed uneasy when she saw her. Mirajane sat on the sofa, her gaze filled with complex emotions.

What happened?

Erza was completely confused.

Kana also sensed the strange atmosphere. She put down her shopping bag and scanned Hope, Mirajane and Eileen with her eyes before finally settling on Hope.

Hope looked at Erza calmly. "Erza, there's something I feel I have to tell you."

"What is it?" Erza's voice was calm.

Hope didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the confession: "Last night, I spent the latter half of the night with Eileen."

In an instant, the living room became so quiet that only the ticking of the pendulum clock could be heard.

At this moment, Kana's heart was in turmoil.

That beast Hope! Even a rabbit wouldn't eat the grass near its burrow, and Irene is Erza's own mother! He actually did it! And judging from Irene's calm demeanor, she was clearly doing it willingly!

Bah! Adulterers!

That shameless Hope actually brought it up himself; he's really not afraid of Erza going berserk.

Mirajane huddled on the sofa, covering her face with her hands. She was filled with mixed emotions, a sense of relief that "I knew it," and a feeling of helplessness at being dragged into such a big mess.

But Erza's reaction... was beyond everyone's expectations.

She didn't fly into a rage, didn't throw things, and didn't even question anyone. The red-haired girl simply stood in the center of the living room, her long red hair shimmering softly in the sunlight streaming in from the window.

"Erza..." Irene asked cautiously, "Are you alright?"

"I'm fine." Erza's voice was calm, so calm that it sent chills down their spines.

Eileen knew her actions had hurt her daughter. "Erza, I only acted on impulse yesterday. I promise you it will never happen again..."

Before Erin could finish speaking, Erza raised her hand to interrupt her.

“Mom,” Erza’s voice was very soft, almost inaudible, “do you like Hope?”

Eileen remained silent for a long time, torn between her inner conflict and her own choice to be honest, "I... have fallen in love with him."

Her voice trembled as she uttered those two words, but her eyes did not waver. Having lived for over four hundred years, Eileen had experienced too many unbearable past events, and the only thing she had learned was to face her own heart.

As Hope said, running away solves nothing.

Erza looked at her worried and guilty mother and, unexpectedly, gave her a big hug.

"I can understand."

"Mom, you've been alone for so many years, lonely for so many years, and in pain for so many years... You deserve happiness."

She paused, her voice lowering slightly, "I'm glad you're willing to be honest with me, but it still hurts me a little to know that the person who can bring you happiness is Hope."

Erza turned her head, her gaze falling on Hope's face, her eyes slightly reddening, and said earnestly, "I know I can't have you all to myself, but she's my mother."

"So Hope, grant me one request, and this matter will be over."

"any request?"

In fact, Hope would have agreed to Erza's request no matter what it was; otherwise, he wouldn't have chosen to be so open about it.

"Let me make a cut." Erza smiled. "Once I'm done, this will be over, and no one is allowed to mention it again."

Hope readily agreed: "Okay."

As soon as she finished speaking, Erza pulled a wood-chopping knife from her changing space. The blade was gleaming and sharp, gleaming coldly in the sunlight.

"Hope, don't worry, I'll be quick."

"It won't hurt much."

"probably."

Holding the knife, she walked step by step toward Hope, her smile incredibly gentle, as if she were looking at the person she loved most in the world.

But for some reason, Kana, who was standing next to her, shivered.

Erza's smile, paired with the gleaming blade in her hand, was undeniably chilling.

Seeing the chilling, morbid light swirling in her eyes, Cana instantly understood: Erza had turned into a yandere!

However, Hope was unaware of this scene. He closed his eyes, opened his arms, and let Erza do as she pleased.

Before Cana could even voice her warning, Erza, now a yandere, drew a silver-white arc with her machete, aiming straight for Hope's lower body.

"Hope! Say goodbye to your manhood!"

"Whoa! No!" Kana screamed.

Mirajane sprang up from the sofa, trying to stop them, but they were too far away to react in time.

Even Eileen's expression changed. How could she survive without Hope? Crimson magic surged from Eileen's body and reached out to grab Erza.
