A magic merchant infiltrating Fairy Tail

boss:"!!"

"...No...it's nothing..."

Their timid and pitiful appearance was truly heartbreaking.

He's just doing business! Why does he have to suffer like this?!

Snapped!

A hand gently rested on the boss's shoulder: "Don't worry! We'll take care of your losses!"

The gentle voice sounded like heavenly music to the restaurant owner.

The restaurant owner instantly wiped away his tears, a fleeting, unnoticed shrewdness of a businessman flashing in his eyes. He then turned around, gripped Kira's hand tightly, and asked with a look of delighted surprise, "You'll lose money, right?"

"Well..."

Kira scratched his head awkwardly.

Five minutes later...

Panting heavily, Ultear shoved her face close to Kira's, radiating a resentful aura: "You bastard... you said you had something important to help me with, but all you did was fix someone's table?!"

"……if not?"

Chapter 520 Eileen Finally Comes Knocking

Ever since Ultear inadvertently revealed a few days ago that she had spent all of Kira's savings, she has become Kira's readily available tool.

So now that Erza has broken things in the restaurant, Kira is able to get Ultear to come all the way from her hotel bed to fix them. In a sense, it's making the best use of everything and everyone's talents.

After all, Ultear couldn't beat him in a fight, and he didn't have as much money. The only use Kira could think of was for the unique Lost Magic Arc of Time.

"I knew you bastard wouldn't be so kind as to invite me to dinner!"

Kira blinked, puzzled, and asked softly, "Then why are you so angry?"

"..."

Is that what I meant?! Did this guy even go to school?! Are all the mages in your guild illiterate?!

Compared to Ultear, who received a high-quality education from Hades from a young age, most of the mages in Fairy Tail are indeed like illiterate people.

"Anyway, it's fortunate you were here this time. Keep it up in the future!"

Kira patted Ultear on the shoulder with satisfaction, looking at her with a "you're a reliable subordinate, I like that" expression. Then he turned to the restaurant owner and asked, "Boss, now we don't have to pay for the tables, chairs, and dishes, right?"

"Of course..."

The shopkeeper nodded and smiled obsequiously at Kira, a hint of disappointment in his eyes that he hadn't managed to squeeze any money out of him. Then he looked at Ultear, who had used the Arc of Time to restore the tables, chairs, and plates to their original state, and an expression of undisguised admiration instantly spread across his face.

In all my life, I've never seen anyone put something back together after it's been broken. This woman... she's practically born to be a waitress!

No...it should be dishwasher! Not a single drop of water should be wasted!

Kira's greedy gaze, almost like a wolf eyeing a fat sheep, was quickly blocked by his body: "Since you don't need to pay compensation, you can let go of my hand now, right? This outfit of mine is very expensive! Will you pay for it if you tear it?"

"..."

Three minutes later, the group returned to their feasting state, except this time Ultear was also present, and Erza could now freely unleash her anger.

Bang! !

"You've completely forgotten about the mission just to make money! What have you been working on all these days?!"

Huh?! Didn't that just happen? Are you planning to completely ignore what happened in between?

Kira stared at Erza, her face contorted with rage, and remained silent for a moment before finally speaking, "I'm very close to my goal now, but Erin's situation is rather unique. Being impatient will only make things worse..."

Very close to the goal... refers to a sibling relationship that started on day one but has made no progress since.

"Isn't making things messy your favorite thing to do?"

"That's right! You're right!"

Kira seemed to snap out of his daze, but after thinking it over carefully, he felt it was inappropriate. "But this time it's really different. Now that you've met August, you know what level the 'Twin Walls' are. Eileen isn't the kind of person who values ​​feelings. If a fight breaks out, I'm not confident of winning."

Natsu said with a grin, "But we're still here..."

Where does this idiot get his confidence?!

Before Kira could even utter a word to rebuke Natsu, Timaria began her sarcastic remarks: "Hmph! Lady Irene's strength is no less than that of Old Master Auguste; how could you mere few possibly handle her?"

"What did you say?!"

"Don't underestimate the mages of 'Fairy Tail'!!"

"Any objections? You defeated opponent!"

"I can't pretend I didn't hear that! Do you want to try another match?!"

"I'm ready anytime!!"

*Thud thud thud...* *Bang bang bang...* *Ping ping bang...*

Dishes and food flew everywhere, causing diners in the restaurant to frown and show their disgust.

Kira: "..."

Why is it happening again?! Why do these guys always manage to escalate the situation into a fight, no matter where we go or what the topic is?! And what's with Erza and Timaria? It's just a game of chance, why are they having such strong temper flare-ups? Is this some kind of 'Knightly Repulsion' they're taught about?

On the other side, recalling the terrifying magical power she and the others had sensed from August a few days ago, Wendy couldn't help but feel a chill: "There's actually another mage of that level..."

Brandish nodded and slowly introduced her to Lucy and the others: "A mage who uses high-level enchantment magic, known as 'Scarlet Despair,' is the strongest female mage in the entire Alvarez Empire!"

"Speaking of which, your magical properties are quite similar to hers... but if you look at your face, you resemble Erza more."

"Huh? Magical properties?? Me?" Wendy looked surprised, but quickly realized the reason, "It's probably because I can also use enchantment magic?"

"Perhaps... Although you are still a child, you have good talent in magic. You might really become a mage like Lady Irene in the future!"

As she spoke, Brandish suddenly covered her mouth and chuckled, her eyes teasing as she looked at Wendy's still-developing body. "Heh heh heh... especially in terms of figure, Lady Eileen is the greatest I've ever seen!"

"Eh?! Really?!"

Upon hearing this, Wendy's eyes lit up, and she was greatly inspired. She secretly resolved to study enchanting magic diligently when she returned, striving to become a person with a heart for the world as soon as possible.

"Don't envy others, Wendy is cute just the way she is~"

"Ha ha……"

After dinner, Kira returned to his lodgings alone, muttering to himself every now and then, "Tch! A bunch of people who know nothing, all they do is fool kids. Cute is nothing compared to sexy! Luckily Wendy wasn't completely fooled!"

Erza and her group happened to be staying at the same hotel as Ultear, but Kira was different. Due to work, he was not staying at the hotel during this period, but instead stayed in the house that Irene had assigned to him as the mayor's assistant.

The position is official to the Empire, the work is easy, the working hours are short, the salary is high, and housing is provided. What could be better than this? Kira has never seen such a good country in all of Ishgar.

So from the moment he took office, he had only one feeling: it's normal for the Alvarez Empire to be so powerful! Such a good country must not be allowed to perish in war! Therefore, preventing the war from starting is necessary!

So how do we stop it? The best way is to destroy an organization from within!

Kira believed that if the people of the Alvarez Empire were to indulge in wine, women, wealth, gossip, and entertainment, the seeds of war might be nipped in the bud in the bud by 'enjoyment'!

But with such a large population, numbering in the hundreds of millions or even billions, this empire cannot be easily changed. Therefore, top-down orders may be the best approach!

Once you climb to a high position, like emperor or one of the Twelve Shields, and then with a wave of your hand change the policies of the entire Alvarez Empire, wouldn't the people of the country be able to live a life of decadence and debauchery? Surely at that time, no one would want to start a war anymore, right?

What a perfect plan!

Kira couldn't help but give himself a thumbs up for his idea.

Back at the entrance of his residence, Kira was about to open the door when a voice suddenly came from behind him.

"Is this why you infiltrated my inner circle?"

Kira's hand trembled, and he turned around at the sound, only to find that Eileen had appeared behind him at some point, looking at him with a smug expression that said, "I've finally found out your secret."

"To stop the Alvarez Empire from waging war against Ishgar?"

"And you've even abandoned August, who's most loyal to the Emperor, and those two brats. Your methods are truly beyond my expectations, Fairy Tail!"

Kira's lips twitched: "You heard all of this, how long have you been secretly following me?"

Chapter 521 I'm not pretending anymore, I'm coming clean!

The moonlight was cool and bright, illuminating Kira's house entrance as clearly as daytime.

Under the silent night sky, the night air carried a slight chill.

The unhurried footsteps, the noble and aloof demeanor, and the immense magical power that could no longer be concealed added to Kira's sense of oppression as the figure of the newcomer became clearer.

Erin slowly approached Kira from the shadows, standing a few meters away. She held her ever-present antler magic wand in her hand, and her black cloak swayed gracefully in the evening breeze. Just standing there quietly, she possessed an indescribable beauty.

"Fairy Tail...is that the name? Your magic guild?"

Looks like they finally found out... Their intelligence gathering skills are really bad!

"Yes! That's the number one magic guild in Ishgar."

Kira didn't try to hide it, after all, he had always been an honest kid.

"With a mage like you here, it's not surprising that you're ranked number one."

Looking at Kira's slightly surprised but not at all nervous appearance, a hint of doubt flashed in Eileen's eyes, but she still continued, "Although I've always known that your background is not simple, it still feels a bit unbelievable at this moment."

"Was it because you met someone you didn't expect?"

Kira smiled slightly at his adopted older sister, his expression somewhat roguish. "To avoid any misunderstanding, I think it's best to be clear first. This isn't some predetermined fate, nor is it some arrangement of destiny!"

"This is my arrangement!"

The person who was unexpected is undoubtedly Erza.

Any normal person with discernment who has seen Erza and Irene's appearances will surely have some guesses about their relationship, because they are so alike.

If this normal person were also a Dragon Slayer mage with an extremely strong sense of smell, they would be even more able to smell that the two of them have very similar scents.

So, the moment Erin saw Erza, she knew her identity. She believed that Kira, with his abilities, would also be able to tell, and Kira's words now confirmed her suspicions.

"Only people in a few towns around here know what I look like. Even those of us who are also members of the Twelve Shields haven't seen me for years, let alone you who are far away in Ishgar. So this is just a coincidence!"
