A magic merchant infiltrating Fairy Tail

For now, she is still one of the seven familiars of 'Heart of the Devil', and at most she has the additional identity of 'Twelve Swords of Money-Making'. In case she can no longer stay in the original guild, it can also serve as a fallback plan.

Kira was unaware that his guild had become a backup plan; otherwise, he would have definitely taught Ultear a lesson.

Right now, he's focused on eavesdropping on Geralt and Erza's heartfelt farewell.

As Kira listened, he sensed something was wrong.

"Erza, I don't expect you to forgive me for what happened in the past. I just want to apologize... I will try my best to make amends for the harm I caused everyone on the Tower of Paradise... I have already thought very carefully about the losses to the Magic Council and the magical world..."

Originally, he thought it was impossible for Gerald to make money for him. Since he was already prepared to accept punishment for his past sins, he was destined to spend his future in the council's prison.

Surprisingly, Gerald doesn't want to go to jail? Well, that makes sense; what normal person would want to go to jail?

In the original story, Jellal lost his memory and lacked judgment, so he felt he deserved to be punished. However, after thinking things through in prison, he eventually came out with Ultear and Melty.

In other words, under normal circumstances, he would choose to make amends for his sins through actions, and this is exactly the case now!

Low emotional intelligence: I don't want to go to jail!

High emotional intelligence: I want to spend my whole life atoning for my sins!

The two remained silent for a long time inside the bugging device, which made Kira wonder if the device was broken. Fortunately, Erza's voice came through again: "Are you trying to avoid the Council's punishment?"

Kira's heart skipped a beat: No way?! Erza actually said something like that?! She's really willing to do this?!

That makes sense, Erza has always kept her personal and professional life separate! She probably thinks that even if Jellal wants to use action instead of punishment, he should at least go to jail for a few years first!

Gerald replied, “It’s not about hiding! If I go in now, I might never be able to atone for my sins. After I have fully apologized to the victims, the Council’s prison will be my final resting place.”

Erza's voice held a hint of melancholy: "Is that so? Well... that's fine too..."

"How shameless!" Kira cursed fiercely. "I have never seen such a brazen person!"

Judging from Gerald's words, he clearly doesn't want to go to the council or make money for himself. Why should I protect such a scoundrel?

No doubt about it! Arrest him!

If we take him back, Gulandoma might even offer some benefits! If he runs away, we'll lose everything!

Just as Kira was about to rush forward to arrest them, Natsu and the others returned.

The group chatted and laughed, marveling at how simple the operation had been and wondering why the chairman was so nervous. Kira shook his head repeatedly in response.

Is it because it's easy? It's because I've already taken care of all the enemies!

Are the Oración Seis weak? Absolutely not!

The sheer oppressive atmosphere in the original storyline, along with their performance in several battles, perfectly shaped their characters! Their strength is roughly between ordinary S-rank and Fairy Tail S-rank!

“Speaking of which… isn’t someone missing?” Kira asked. “Where’s Laxus?”

Harpy flew over and said, "I don't know! We originally thought you had turned into a bad guy, and he even said he wanted to settle things with you! But after rising from 'Nirvana,' we don't know where you went?"

Upon hearing Happy's words, Kira immediately understood the reason and burst out laughing: "I see!"

Dragon Slayers get motion sickness from vehicles, even those that aren't moving; they'll get dizzy as soon as they get on them!

Natsu was alright because Wendy healed him, but Laxus wasn't! With his arrogant personality, he probably wouldn't have the nerve to ask Wendy for help, and he didn't want anyone to see him in such a disheveled state, so he chose to hide.

However, since Natsu and the others destroyed Nirvana's six legs, he should have recovered by now. But now that the battle is over, who has the mood to play with him anymore?

A moment later, everyone gathered together again to discuss their next steps.

"Kira, are you really going to take them away?"

Erza frowned, saying with concern, "They're from the Dark Guilds! Shouldn't they be handed over to the Council of Guilds?"

Kira stood up and retorted, "So what if it's the Dark Guild? The people in the Dark Guild are people too! Don't you know? They were also victims of the Tower of Paradise Project! Back then..."

His story was told with great emotion and deep feeling. The plot was about how he was displaced in his youth, lost his relatives and friends, was kidnapped, and forced to work day and night by bad guys. He was rescued one day, but he was at a loss and confused. His tragic story made men and women weep.

Erza, in particular, was the one who could best understand that nightmarish life. Empathizing with them, her expression towards the group completely changed.

"Finally, Brian brought the five of them out, but they were young and naive at the time, and could only obey their savior. Over the years..."

Kira skillfully pinned all the Oración Seis's misdeeds over the years on Brian, their leader.

"They only strayed a tiny bit from the right path in life, but now they've turned over a new leaf and are ready to start anew! I think as members of the Guild of Light, we should bring them light, give them a chance, and let them contribute to the magical world with their own hands!"

Hmm... contributing to your own coffers!

Chapter 240 Lying through one's teeth

Kira has done this more than once or twice. Whether it was with Ralabaei or the Ice Demon King's corpse, he always likes to take it all himself, and no one can persuade him otherwise.

As long as the evidence isn't made public, he can pretend nothing happened and get away with it.

The allied forces looked at each other, waiting for Jura, Ichiya, and Erza to speak.

Seeing that the group still wouldn't budge, Kira pointed at the Oración Seis and said to everyone, "Look at their attitude, how sincere they are!"

With a single glance, the group instantly understood. They stood side by side in front of the crowd, bowed in unison, and said in unison, "We truly know we were wrong!"

"Listen to their future plans!"

The group immediately adopted expressions of regret and grief, employing emotional manipulation.

"All I want right now is to find my younger brother/sister..."

"I will spend the rest of my life making amends to the victims!"

"We will personally rectify the negative impact we have had on the magical world in the past!"

"When all sins are settled, if we are still alive, the council's prison will be our final resting place!"

Gerald: "..."

"Look how well they put it! What a painful realization! What a profound lesson!"

Kira offered a timely word of advice, "Besides, if it weren't for their cooperation in staying here, the magical world would be in chaos right now! If they had been the ones hindering us from destroying 'Nirvana,' would things have gone so smoothly?"

Jura, Ichiya, and Erza exchanged glances and began to whisper among themselves.

Jura was the first to relent. This old man was a really kind person. After listening to Kira's story, he couldn't help but feel sympathy. "The goal of 'Nirvana' has been stopped, and the 'Oración Seis' has been disbanded. They have also promised not to make the same mistake again. That's enough."

Anyway, the 'Six Demon Generals' didn't offend their respective guilds, and now that they've repented, letting them go doesn't make me feel guilty at all.

As for the council, it's full of lawless, unruly individuals; nobody takes them seriously. This is evident from the original storyline, where they were willing to fight for Jellal, Woe, and Laharl.

Although this time the situation is different, and the other party did not actually help them stop 'Nirvana', they naturally did not want to interfere for Kira's sake.

So Ye Yi chimed in, "Of course we can let them go, and if the council investigates, we can say we know nothing. But if they continue to do evil in the future..."

Erza said, "At that time, I will personally send them to the Council's prison!"

"..."

"I understand!"

"Then let's do it this way!"

The three of them reached an agreement very easily.

"Ahem... After discussion, we also think Kira makes sense. You should leave now! Use the days to atone for your past sins!"

The Six Demons once again sincerely replied in unison, "We understand! We are truly grateful!"

The incident has come to a perfect end; the next step is to escape.

Kira pulled out his capsule and threw it forcefully on the ground. The capsule transformed into an airship with a bang. Under the shocked gazes of the crowd, he beckoned the others to board: "We need to get going! Those guys from the Council of Judges have noses as sharp as dogs. I reckon they'll be here soon!"

Three minutes later, the magic airship carrying Kira, Jellal, Ultear, and all the Oración Seis (Oración Seis) left the Whitewood Forest.

Watching the airship soar into the distance, Erza sighed, "Honestly! Kira is always like this! He does whatever comes to mind."

Happy silently thought to himself, "Erza was clearly happy too..."

"Happy? Why?" Natsu asked curiously as he leaned closer.

Happy looked helpless: "Natsu, you really know nothing about this! If it were Lucy, she would definitely understand!"

"Lucy?" Natsu tilted his head in confusion, then turned to look at Lucy beside him. "Lucy, you know... Huh! What are you doing?"

At this moment, Lucy leaned against the crowd, her eyes shining brightly, and drool dripping down her face.

Seeing Natsu approaching, Lucy wiped the drool from the corner of her mouth and happily showed him the gift Kira had left behind, a gift with a metallic sheen and a golden glitter.

The four keys to the zodiac: Capricorn, Scorpion, Gemini, and Aries.

Although Lucy handed over all her money and incurred a huge debt, she felt it was worth it because she had now successfully collected all 12 golden celestial keys, and even the attached Ophiuchus was in her possession. How could she not be excited?

"Kira is really generous!" Natsu exclaimed after hearing Lucy's words. "I remember you still haven't paid back the money you owed him for the keys you bought from him before, right?"

Lucy waved her hand and said with a smile, "It's okay! Anyway, more debt is never a bad thing. I can earn it back quickly by doing more missions! Between money and keys, the latter is definitely more important!"

stomping on...

Just as everyone was about to disperse and return home, a series of footsteps approached. Everyone looked over and saw the Council's inspection team, led by Lahar, arriving late.

"Everyone, stand still! I am Laharl, captain of the Fourth Inspection Team of the Council of Magistrates, and I have been ordered to arrest 'Oración Seis' and Jellal!"

"Is it the new council?!"

"Has it been rebuilt so quickly?"

"Damn! Is their organization that rich? I'm so envious!"

Spending a lot of time with Kira has made me start to think in a way that's just as strange as his.

Lahar stepped forward and said loudly, "Thank you all for taking action against the 'Oración Seis.' Now, please hand them over! We will take them back to the Council for processing. We hope you will cooperate!"

He spoke in a very official and formal manner, which was fine in itself, but this attitude seemed extremely arrogant in front of the hot-tempered and lawless mages!

As the council responsible for maintaining peace in the magical world, they have no ability of their own and need our guild alliance to help them fight the Dark Guilds. Now that we've finished fighting, they come out to pick up the scraps. Where can you find such a good deal!

In fact, the reason why Laharl and his group arrived late was because they were dealing with the subordinate guild of the Oración Seis.

Although their headquarters only has six people, many dark guilds are affiliated with them. They are numerous and their strength is comparable to that of the inspection team members. Some of the stronger ones are even difficult for Lahar to deal with, which is why it took them so long.

Jura and Ichiya exchanged a glance, both seeing the dissatisfaction in each other's eyes.

Although dissatisfied with the council's practices, they are, after all, official organizations. Even if they are just putting on an act, as members of a legitimate magic guild, they still cannot lack the proper manners.

"We haven't found the whereabouts of 'Oración Seis'! We previously found a way to destroy 'Nirvana', so we split up to disrupt its energy source. We only came here because we saw the commotion just now!"
