A magic merchant infiltrating Fairy Tail

Suddenly, the person slowly opened their eyes.

Before she even got up, the girl felt dizzy and lightheaded, with feelings of weakness, hunger, and thirst for knowledge coming one after another. But after a moment of thought, she found that her mind was blank.

Before she could even ponder why her body was so weak, the girl uttered the three classic amnesia questions: "Strange... Who am I? Where am I? Who are you people?"

The girl had short purple hair, fair skin, was short and chubby, and had innocent eyes. She didn't look like she was 20 years old at all, but rather like a naive ten-year-old girl.

"You're finally awake? You're a girl now!"

Hearing the voice, the girl turned her head and found herself surrounded by several people. The voice came from a handsome red-haired boy. Although she didn't know who he was, he seemed to be the person in charge here.

Soon, the girl's gaze was drawn to another person.

He was a boy with short, reddish-brown hair, slanted eyes, wearing a white coat, and dark skin. He stared at her blankly, but Gina didn't feel uncomfortable. Instead, she felt that the boy's aura was very familiar.

"Do you feel any discomfort? How much do you remember? What number is this? If you're not sick, take a few steps..."

Before Kira could finish speaking, Sora pulled him away, saying, "Hey, can't you let her rest a bit before you talk?"

"Huh?! It looks like it's had enough rest."

"Shut up!" Sora scolded Kira for meddling while watching Eric with great interest, mentally signaling to him, 'Go! Go, Eric! I know you can hear me! Go and ask her her name!'

Kira took in this scene and exclaimed speechlessly, "Hey, how come you're even more gossipy than me?"

"Stop arguing! This is a major life event for us old brothers! How can I not be anxious?"

"Exactly! Sora was absolutely right!" Several figures walked in from outside the door; it was the members of Sin of Witches. They were carrying lunches they had brought for the four people in the room, patting their bellies contentedly. "But speaking of which, Magnolia's food is really delicious! It must have been so wonderful to grow up here..."

"Alright, alright, are you afraid people won't know you were starved to death? By the way, where are Gerald and the Ultears?"

"Who knows? He said he just went for a walk because he was bored," Sawyer chuckled. "Anyway, he must have gone off to do something shady!"

As for what it was that was something unspeakable, everyone knew perfectly well.

"Don't worry about them. They're grown up, they won't get lost."

Kira took the lunch Melty handed him, gave her a gentle pat on the head, then plopped down on the sofa next to him and gestured for everyone to sit down, "Come on, Sora, sit down and eat while you watch!"

The story begins a few days ago when Erza sent a wedding invitation to 'Sin of the Witch'.

Kira didn't know exactly what happened, but he heard from Ultear that Jellal almost cried when he saw Erza hand him a wedding invitation. His face displayed seven different emotions in just three seconds. And after hearing the whole story, his relief and subsequent awkwardness were quite amusing.

After hearing Ultear's story, Kira only regretted not having prepared image magic crystals for them as souvenirs beforehand.

At the time, 'The Sin of the Witch' had no mission, so after receiving the invitation, they came to Magnolia. Naturally, their accommodation was arranged by Kira, the former 'leader' and now the 'local lord'.

So Kira let them stay in his guest room.

At first, they were reluctant, saying things like, "You're just going to make us squeeze into your guest room." But after they arrived, Kira told them, "My house is actually quite big."

Kira had earned a considerable amount of money over the past six months, so he bought the house next door and then combined the two sides, renovating it. As a result, not only did Hope's Cottage expand significantly, but the entire house also became much larger. Of course, the overall layout remained "shops on the first and second floors, and living quarters on the third and fourth floors," but their standard of living had improved markedly in all aspects.

The most obvious improvement is that there are more rooms, and with more rooms, it becomes much more convenient to do whatever you want.

Whether it's taking in a few homeless subordinates or using them as a temporary base, it's all good. Even if you don't need to entertain them anymore, you can rent it out to make some money. It's practically perfect.

So they settled down. Kira had recently been reading the "Book of Wisdom" and had made a slight breakthrough in dark magic, so he took the opportunity to lift Ginana's snake curse.

Eric began his performance: "Chubby... no, can you tell me your name?"

"As you can see, the person involved seems a bit excited... um... like a pure virgin (chewing sound), so... (swallowing sound)... what is the female lead's reaction?"

"My name is Ginana."

Kira tirelessly explained, "This girl seems surprisingly innocent!"

"Ginana...do you still remember me?"

(“Here it comes! The male lead has started the memory-guiding mode!”)

"who are you?"

("Oh no!! She forgot! She actually forgot!! How could she forget?! So many years of living together day and night, so many nights of sharing a bed, and she's completely forgotten?!!")

Gina glanced at the bewildered Kira, then lowered her head and continued, "I... I only vaguely remember being kidnapped by a group of bad guys, and then... they used magic on me... and then... I don't remember anything else."

("Oh my god! The female lead doesn't have any memories of when she was a snake! Does that mean she's lost all her memories of being with the male lead? That's a whole 10 years of memories!! Poor Eric! Waaaaah... I'm going to cry so much~~")

("The female lead is clearly more pitiful! You have to remember she was just a 10-year-old girl back then! How could those guys do that?! Being turned into a snake for 10 years, sob sob sob... How many decades are there in a lifetime?")

"So... I was turned into a snake?" Ginana belatedly realized, casting a grateful and apologetic glance at Eric. "It seems you've been taking care of me all this time. Thank you so much! And, I'm sorry..."

("Aww~ She's so gentle! So kind! This is clearly not her fault! Hearing that apology, the male lead must feel really bad!!")

"Ah! That's not what I meant," Ginana panicked, wanting to explain but unsure where to begin, stammering out a coherent sentence, "I just felt... that..."

Eric gently shook his head: "No...it's alright...this is enough!"

("Ahhh!! When he said 'like this,' he must mean 'hearing your voice'! So gentle! So sweet!")

Upon hearing Kira's words, Eric's dark face instantly turned bright red, a surge of embarrassment and annoyance rising within him: That Kira guy, he keeps chattering away while everyone else is speaking seriously, even making grunting noises while eating. Although it has played a crucial role in facilitating communication between me and Chuberios… no, with Ginana, it's really annoying!!

("Wow! That really gets to the point, right? Ending with 'The moonlight illuminates your face, the wind carries your voice' is a stroke of genius!")

"Kira! Haven't you said enough?!"

Eric yelled and turned around, only to see Kira sitting in a chair, eating with a bowl in one hand and chopsticks in the other, while Melty sat obediently in front of him, flipping through a light novel titled "I Want to Hear Your Voice."

Kira, looking completely bewildered, shifted his gaze from the book to Eric: "What...did you say?"

Chapter 399 Fairies and Witches

This bewildered and helpless action vividly portrays Kira's inner shock and confusion. If the people here didn't know his personality, they might have really been deceived.

Eric had read "I Want to Hear Your Voice" before. At the time, he found the plot quite interesting and the protagonist was very similar to himself, so he read it a couple more times.

Looking back now, I realize that this isn't just a resemblance; it's clearly a copy of myself! And the author of this book... is none other than this bastard currently putting on an act!

Considering the timeline of the book's creation, Eric was filled with doubt, but even more so with anger, because all of this indicated that Kira had known all along that the poet Chuberios was actually transformed into a snake by dark magic!

Seeing Kira feigning ignorance, Eric's anger flared even more: "You bastard..."

"Gina is watching!"

With a single, understated sentence, Eric's anger was completely extinguished.

Melty rolled her eyes speechlessly, seemingly having anticipated Kira's tactic; Sora smiled and ate her lunch with relish, unaware that Kira had secretly taken the meat from her bowl; Sawyer leaned back on the sofa, glancing sideways and grinning, quietly watching the show; Dark Night and Richard sat to the side drinking tea, appearing indifferent to the matter, but their true feelings were already revealed.

Eric was both embarrassed and annoyed: "These guys... they're all just waiting to see me make a fool of myself!"

"This guy has been standing here like an idiot for ages, doesn't he know how to feed this girl who hasn't had a proper meal in so long?"

"Idiot! That's called feeding!"

Does it make a difference?

Eric suddenly realized, grabbed his lunch, and went to the bedside: "This...that..."

Gina shook her head: "Thank you! But I don't have much of an appetite right now."

"You call yourself a mage who uses sound magic? Don't you even listen to whether others are hungry or not?" Kira glanced at the food in Eric's hand. "Also, how can you eat these food that looks so delicious... and has such strong flavors, after just regaining your human form! You definitely need some lighter food! Give these to me!"

“A light…for example?” Eric asked humbly.

Here, have some plain water!

"Huh? Plain water...?" Eric took the glass and stood there dumbfounded.

Kira walked back to the dining table without turning around: "What an idiot!! Drinking more hot water is really good for girls! You don't even know that, how are you going to take good care of people in the future!"

I really don't want to be told that by you!!

Eric stood there stunned, forgetting even his most familiar ability to read minds; otherwise, he would have known how loudly the people around him were laughing inside.

Over the next few days, Eric completely forgot about his companions and spent all his time and nights with Gina. Gina didn't resist, and their relationship gradually warmed up in an ambiguous way.

To Kira's surprise, the members of Sin of Witches got along very well with the members of Fairy Tail after arriving in Magnolia.

First is Melfi, who seems to have replaced Sheria's role in the original work and become Wendy's best friend. They go out shopping and eat desserts every day, and she seems to have completely lost the restraint she had when she was with Wendy on Sirius Island.

Then there's Richard, who's often relegated to the background. Due to his eccentric personality and similar magic, he becomes friends with Marcus. One is quicksand and the other quicksand, and they really do make a good match. With his help, Marcus's strength increases by leaps and bounds.

Because of her former status as a Celestial Spirit Mage, Sora gets along very well with Lucy—at least that's how Kira sees it. And because of her current card magic, she's close to Cana. When the two get together, they often complain to each other about Kira's repeated persecution of them, ending with "I won't say anything more, it's all in the drink."

Eric was busy with his love life and didn't care about anything else; Sawyer loved to fight and watch the excitement, but he got along well with the others; on the other hand, Dark Night became a background character, and Kira even saw him sleeping in the guild's tavern once. Goodness, I don't know how he could sleep in that kind of environment.

Ultear is the one who gets along best with Fairy Tail.

First, because of Ul, Gray felt quite apologetic towards her, which indirectly caused Juvia to be jealous; then, because of Kira, Lucy and Happy stirred up a gossip storm; finally, he naturally joined the guild's daily fights and completely integrated into the group.

During this time, Gerald lived like Mystogan, often disappearing without a trace. No one knew where he went or what he did, but the others guessed that he was hiding from Erza.

And so, time passed quietly, and March arrived in the blink of an eye.

……

In early March, as spring deepened, a gentle breeze swept through Magnolia, bringing life and joy to Fairy Tail.

Today is the wedding day of Alzak and Bisca. This archer couple, who left their homeland in the Western Continent to come to the Kingdom of Fiore, have finally tied the knot after spending several years together. Everyone in the guild is happy for them.

Kira, the best man, got up early to do his hair and makeup. Looking at himself in the mirror, Kira was very satisfied: "Not bad, not bad! This is definitely the most handsome guy in the whole guild!"

The Church of Caldia stands in the heart of Magnolia and is one of the city’s most important symbols.

It is a church with a typical medieval European style, with a cross hanging high on the top and stained glass windows around it. Although it is not particularly magnificent, it is elegant and grand, and it is clean and tidy, as if it were brand new.

The reason for such a clean environment is not only due to the staff's meticulous cleaning, but also to the frequent demolition and reconstruction.

This ancient church, steeped in history, has suffered countless damages in just over a century, and each time it was damaged, it naturally required renovation.

It's worth mentioning that 90% of this damage can be attributed to the most reckless group in Magnolia—the mages of Fairy Tail.

For the past century, Caldia's greatest role has been in hosting weddings for its citizens. Because the local people are warm, simple, and kind, every wedding is incredibly lively.

But today will probably be the most lively one in the last twenty years, because the wedding being held here is by a mage from 'Fairy Tail'!

Upon hearing this news, Father Brock, who was still in charge of the church, was so frightened that he jumped out of bed and immediately asked the mayor for permission to retire.

The mayor was extremely reluctant when he saw the request. "If you leave, who am I supposed to find to take charge of these guys?"

But then I thought again: the priest isn't young anymore, and it's really not good to leave him there in fear. If anything were to happen to him, my political achievements would be ruined! Besides, this is only the first wedding of the new generation of 'Fairy Tail' mages; who knows how many more will follow! It seems the next few years will be a dangerous period for the church!

So, with a wave of his hand, he readily agreed to the old man's request and casually assigned a young man to take his place. After all, these young men were thick-skinned and lacked prestige; they wouldn't care if they got injured by those reckless thugs.
