A magic merchant infiltrating Fairy Tail

Although most of it was dissipated by the wind on the way back, a good rinse will remove it even faster.

So, as soon as they returned to the hotel, Kira and the others went straight to their rooms without saying a word, followed by a series of actions: eating a late-night snack, rinsing their mouths, showering, taking a bath, turning off the lights, covering themselves with blankets, and going to sleep...

Snapped! !

The lights that had just been turned off were turned on again, followed by a deafening roar!

"Wait a minute!!"

"Have you guys forgotten I exist?!"

"I've been sitting in my room for almost an hour now!!!"

Kira, who had just closed his eyes, felt the blanket on his body being suddenly pulled off, and he felt a chill all over his body before being pulled up.

"Shut up! Spring isn't even here yet, why are you so excited!"

"Stop talking nonsense! How can someone your age sleep at this hour?! Young people should be up and partying!!"

"Don't you want to look at the time?! I've been working all night, can't I even enjoy myself?"

"Enjoy my ass! It's only 2:30 AM, the author is still working hard on his writing, and you have the nerve to sleep?!"

"You bastard! Have you forgotten Master Wu Tian's teachings? How are you going to grow taller if you don't rest properly?!"

"You're already 21 and you still want to grow taller?!"

"Hey, I have such a bad temper..."

One was dragged out of the comfort of their bed, and the other was subjected to nearly an hour of being left sitting on the sidelines. Both Kira and Hopelight were now furious, and their argument was on the verge of escalating into a fight.

"You want to fight, buddy?"

"Fine, let's fight! You think you can get away with this?!"

Just as the two rolled up their sleeves, preparing for an earth-shattering, soul-stirring battle...

Bang! ! !

With a loud crash, the door was kicked open from the outside.

Erza, dressed in her pajamas, stormed in, carrying a two-meter-long greatsword, exuding a murderous aura.

His blood-red hair shot straight up into the sky, swaying in the air like octopus tentacles. His face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and his whole body exuded an extremely terrifying aura.

"Everyone, get some sleep!!!"

Glug...

"Yes!!" ×2

Chapter 626 This is all thanks to your excellent teaching, Chairman!

As the sun rises, birds sing sweetly.

As the first rays of sunlight shone on the streets of Crocus, the morning dew carried by the winter wind also awakened the sleeping capital.

Although it is deep winter and most flowers have withered, the pine, cypress and plum trees stand tall and show even more vitality.

"The weather is nice; looks like it's going to be another good day for business!"

The hotel owner opened the door and looked out the window at the view of Crocus. He felt refreshed and invigorated.

"Speaking of which... I think I heard some noise in the middle of the night last night? Just to be on the safe side, I should go and check it out. Otherwise, it wouldn't be good if something happened, after all, those are my dearest guests!"

Since he started running the hotel, his wallet has become increasingly full. Not only has his life become more comfortable, but he has also saved up a considerable amount of money on the side.

The hotel owner beamed with joy at the thought, his smile incredibly radiant.

until……

"Where did my door go?!"

Looking at the empty door frame and the dilapidated door lying inside the room, the hotel owner's smile instantly froze.

……

On the main road, a modified magical four-wheel drive vehicle sped past, with the bustling capital of the kingdom behind it.

Erza was driving; this was her punishment for breaking down the door and causing everyone to leave early.

In the car, still worried about what had happened, Wendy hugged Charlotte tightly and anxiously looked at Kira, asking, "Um... Kira-san, is it really okay for us to leave like this?"

Kira was playing cards with Hopelette and Gray when he heard the noise. He looked up at Wendy and asked, "What's wrong?"

Lucy quickly retorted, "How dare you ask what happened?! You just vandalized the hotel entrance and left like that?! How can someone as kind as Wendy live with herself like that?!"

"Huh? Running away after causing damage, I thought you guys were already familiar with this routine... Besides, I didn't break the door, it was Erza!"

After hearing the reason, Kira replied casually and then continued to look down at his cards.

Erza: Rage +1 +1...

They were playing 'Fairy Tail Killer', and after it became popular throughout the country, Kira introduced many new mages and new forms of existing mages, such as [Natsu Flame Mode], [Gray Slayer Mode], etc., which greatly increased their popularity in the Kingdom of Fiore.

"Take this! Fairy Law!!!" Kira confidently played [Fairy Law].

"not good!!"

Hopelette and Gray were both shocked: "It's an AOE super magic card?!"

"I remember there was only one of this card in the whole set, right? You've been hiding it for so long..."

"Damn Kira, he's so insidious!!"

"Hahaha... We won! We won!! When we get back, you get one lunch and one dinner..."

Lucy, Wendy, and Charlotte stared at the three men in silence, speechless. They thought the three men were idiots.

Natsu and Happy stared at the three of them excitedly, their eyes shining. They thought the three were amazing and wanted to join the game, but they were always confused by the rules.

Seeing that the three-person card game was over, Lucy spoke up again, "Even if Erza broke it, she should at least apologize and leave some compensation, right?"

Kira waved his hand casually: "Don't worry, I left some compensation."

"How much of the compensation was retained?"

Lucy and the others blinked. Someone as greedy as Kira would leave behind compensation? Had the sun risen in the west? That was too strange!

For a moment, the group was filled with curiosity about how much money Kira had left as compensation.

"A signed photo of Erza."

"Huh?!"

The air inside the car seemed to freeze instantly.

Something's wrong, there's a murderous aura!

Kira quickly changed his story and told the truth, while laughing to cover up his guilt: "Hahaha... I was just joking! Where would I get an autographed photo of Erza?"

Wait, right! Where would he get an autographed photo of Erza?!

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief: "Phew...you scared me..."

"There was no signature, only a photo, which was cut out from the hotel's weekly magazine."

In the silence, everyone's eyes twitched.

"That means there's no compensation at all?! And it even caused further damage to the hotel!!"

For the rest of the journey, Kira noticed that Erza's driving skills had deteriorated significantly, with the car jolting violently every few seconds. If he hadn't incorporated powerful anti-vibration technology into the vehicle's construction, it probably would have fallen apart in less than half an hour.

……

Magnolia, the same familiar atmosphere.

The guild tavern, the same familiar atmosphere.

The spacious tavern was filled with the sounds of laughter and chatter, as well as music that never gets old. Today, rock music was playing, which made the mages in the tavern excited. While drinking and having fun, they couldn't help but hum along and dance.

The smells of smoke, alcohol, food, and sweat mingled together, but fortunately the pub was well-ventilated and air freshener had been sprayed, so it didn't feel unpleasant; instead, it added a touch of warmth and friendliness.

Kira and the others spent less than three days on their round trip. It had been less than a week since the S-class assessment ended in mid-December, and Christmas hadn't even arrived yet.

Bang! !

With a loud bang, the tavern door was pushed open, and two figures rushed in.

"I'm back!!"

"It's a guild!!"

Happy and Natsu rushed in first, and as usual, they circled the lobby on the first floor, spreading their scent everywhere, before finally snapping out of their daze and greeting the group of mages.

I miss everyone so much!!

"What do you mean by missing me... You only left a few days ago..."

"Can a few days really be so memorable?! Hey... did you know? We actually saw a dragon graveyard!!"

"Huh? Didn't you already know about this before you went? There's no need to make such a fuss!"

"But knowing and seeing are still different!!"

Natsu smiled broadly. Due to the profound influence of Igneel when he was young, he now feels a great affinity for any dragon, whether alive or dead, skeleton or ghost, except for Acnologia.

"And Wendy can even summon dragon ghosts! We even talked to a dragon ghost!! How fun!!!"

Gajeel was taken aback: "Wendy? When did she become a necromancer?"

"It's not some necromancer technique! It's the ultimate art of dragon slaying!"

Natsu was showing off Wendy's magic to a guild mage with great enthusiasm, his face full of pride, as if he himself was the one who could summon the dragon's undead.

Cana asked curiously, "Your Dragon Slayer Magic's Dragon Slayer Secret Techniques? Aren't those for combat?"

"That's because Wendy's magic is special! Doesn't that sound cool?"

"Well...it's just so-so..."

"Huh?!!"

"Do you really have to be that disappointed?!"
