A magic merchant infiltrating Fairy Tail

Meanwhile, Happy also approached his good colleague, Mira, the second-in-command of the 'Charlu Pushers', and loudly shared the spoils of this trip.

"Mira Mira... Natsu and Lucy almost kissed this time!"

"Oh my god?! Really?! Did you kiss at the end?"

Mira was indeed very interested. She clapped her hands, her eyes sparkling like stars as she looked expectantly at Happy's chubby face.

Did you kiss? Need I say more? You can tell from my expression!

Happy helplessly spread his little hands: "What a pity... because Natsu didn't seize the opportunity, nothing happened in the end!"

"Eh!! Really? How disappointing..."

Mira's face fell immediately, but she quickly regained her spirits. After all, it wasn't the first or second time that Natsu's slowness had caused the two of them to miss out on taking things a step further.

She had endured it for so long that she was used to it, so all she left for Harbour was one sentence.

"Investigate again! Report back!"

"like!!"

Happy and Mira exchanged a serious and earnest salute, then Happy turned and flew towards Natsu.

As soon as Lucy entered the guild, she overheard the two of them, a human and a cat, openly gossiping about themselves and Natsu in front of everyone, and she was immediately both embarrassed and annoyed.

As for Mira, she couldn't say anything. Mira was the guild's star, a gentle and considerate older sister, and the dream girl of countless men. She usually took such good care of her, so it was only natural for her to worry about her love life.

But! Happy...

"You stinky cat, you're talking about me behind my back again! Come here!!"

Without a second thought, he charged toward Harpy, and the two of them immediately began chasing and playing around in the guild.

"Alright, alright...you guys are really energetic!"

As soon as Kira entered, he saw Happy flying towards him. Without hesitation, he grabbed Happy's cheek with his right hand, kneaded it with his left, and then threw him like a baseball, hitting the guild flag hanging on the second floor!

"So soft!"

Kira was shocked by the flexibility of Happy's body; the feel of it was even more wonderful than the mysterious teardrop-shaped silicone he sold in his store.

"Truly befitting a feline!"

"So accurate!"

The group of mages who were focused on Happy and Lucy's argument naturally saw Kira's actions and were all shocked by his throwing accuracy, as well as his reaction speed.

"I feel so dizzy!"

Harpy, who had been smashed onto the guild flag, saw stars; in his vision, the entire guild was spinning and shaking.

"You're back?"

Makarov appeared on the second floor. He first looked at Kira and the others who had entered, and after confirming that they were not injured, he leaped forward and landed nimbly and skillfully on the table on the first floor.

"So, did you find the dragon bones you needed?"

Kira shook his head and said, "There isn't a complete set, but we brought back some bones. I examined them, and they're good magical materials. We can add them when we make a chair for Natsu later."

"I think so too..."

Makarov squinted, looking at Kira as if he were a stingy tycoon, and sighed, "Seriously, you really do make sure you don't leave empty-handed!"

"Even if there's only a few bones left in a graveyard, you still have to harvest some. That really suits your personality..."

"Hahaha... No problem, no problem... These are all basic procedures!"

As an adult, Kira naturally knows that he should be humble and not let his superiors' praise go to his head. He should not steal the limelight from the chairman in public, as that would be a major taboo!

"We all learned it from you, President! You are our role model! A shining beacon guiding our lives and our conduct!"

Makarov was immediately embarrassed and, for the first time, became humble: "Don't talk nonsense!"

"I'm not that kind of person!!"

Chapter 627 The Wonderful Uses of Solar Eclipses: Reversing the Future or Parallel Universes

Hope Cottage, Kira's magic shop, is also his home.

Since the Fairy Tail series became a huge hit, Kira has been receiving a large sum of money every month from the largest card game conglomerate in the Kingdom of Fiore, which means he has completely achieved financial freedom.

Nowadays, he could afford to buy not just a small Hope House, but an entire street of properties, but Kira didn't do that.

The reason is simple: if you confine yourself to the 'rich area' and isolate yourself from the poor, then who are you showing off your wealth to?

As the saying goes, "Returning home in glory is like wearing fine clothes at night," meaning if you have money, you should definitely show it off! Otherwise, how will others know you're rich?

This is the world of Fairy Tail, a world of magic!

I am a mage from 'Fairy Tail', one of the most overpowered people in this world!

Here, there won't be any worries about being rich and hated, being handsome and suffering from kidney problems, or the saying "the tallest tree in the forest is bound to be felled by the wind." You can just focus on the important matter of saving the world!

Two hours ago, Kira brought Natsu and his group back to Magnolia from Crocus, along with Hoplette, who claimed to be herself from the future.

Instead of going to the guild to see Makarov and the others, Hope Witch went straight back to Hope Hut.

He skillfully used magic to clean his house, wiping the shelves, tables, chairs, floors, counters, and glass until they were spotless, without a speck of dust.

After finishing everything, he hung up the wooden sign that read "Closed for the day," left the windows half-open to keep the shop ventilated, and the wind chimes hanging by the door tinkled in the wind, playing a soothing and beautiful melody.

The afternoon sunlight streamed through the floor-to-ceiling windows, casting a serene beauty on the brown wooden floorboards.

On the minimalist white wooden table sits a steaming cup of vanilla latte, a white porcelain plate with a strawberry cake recently bought from a street bakery, and silver cutlery for the meal.

Hoplet sat in that extremely comfortable chair, quietly flipping through the magic book she had casually taken from the bookshelf.

This location was specially chosen by Kira during the construction. It avoids direct sunlight regardless of the season or time of day, while ensuring the surrounding brightness and air circulation. It also provides an unobstructed view of the store's interior, making it an ideal spot for daydreaming, reading, or sleeping.

His bright red hair, barely reaching his shoulders, added a touch of maturity to Hoplett's face. His clear, sky-blue eyes reflected the words in the book, and his serious and focused expression revealed his erudition and wisdom. His elegant movements and handsome face combined to exude an unusual and charming allure, a charm that could captivate countless young women.

And this was merely a trivial little action by Hopelight, or rather Kira.

"What a leisurely and peaceful afternoon..."

Bang! !

Before she could finish her sentence, the door to Hope's Cottage was pushed open forcefully, interrupting Hope's mutterings.

The newcomer was none other than Kira!

Kira entered and immediately noticed Hopelette's state, exclaiming, "Oh! What a leisurely and peaceful afternoon! I'm even a little envious!"

Hoplet put down her book and gave Kira a speechless look: "I know! That's exactly what I was going to say!"

Kira believed that Hoplet on the other side wouldn't harm him... probably because he was on the same side and wouldn't lie to his own people.

Kira grabbed a chair and sat down opposite Hoplet, looking directly into his eyes. This conversation with himself was even more peculiar than looking in a mirror or being with Dispel.

"Since you helped me clean the house, I won't hold it against you for eating my food."

"Enough with the unnecessary pleasantries, just tell me what I know!"

Is this person from the distant future? What happened around me in the future? What experiment required a solar eclipse? Did time travel cause other unforeseen events? ...

The moment Kira saw Hopelight, countless questions arose in his mind, but he patiently held them in until now.

They'll have to tell us sooner or later anyway!

"Alright then, before that, let's briefly summarize the major events in the Fairy Tail world related to 'traveling to the past'."

Instead of answering Kira's question directly, Hopelette brought up another topic.

There are many examples of time travel, and as far as we know, the effects of time travel include the following:

Changing the past can, ironically, become part of the present history, as seen in works like "Doraemon" and "Mythology." I've previously seen people refer to this situation as a "closed loop."

Changing the past changes the present as well, similar to the movies "X-Men: Days of Future Past" and "Your Name". In this case, the time traveler mainly wants to change history or make up for regrets, which is what most time travelers want to achieve.

The last type is to change the past but not the present, turning the past and present into two completely different parallel worlds, such as the Future World Saga in Dragon Ball.

Since the same person has the same way of thinking, Kira knew that whatever Hopelight said would definitely be related to the Fairy Tail world, so when he heard her mention the topic of time travel, he immediately thought of the Grand Magic Games arc.

After briefly recalling, Kira said, "There were two 'travel to the past' events in the original Fairy Tail manga, one each involving Future Rogue and Future Lucy. They traveled from the future of two different timelines to the year X791, and were later destroyed by a solar eclipse, returning their bodies to their original worlds."

In the original work, there was no further development of Future Rogue, but Majima gave Future Lucy a scene of a 'golden meadow'.

Kira remembers that, according to the analysis of the guys on the forum, there are two possibilities: one is that the two are from parallel worlds, and this scene is 'Lucy's body returning to her original world in the future, and her soul reuniting with her friends in heaven'; the other is that the future is changed, resulting in a happy ending.

"According to the explanation in the comic, it should be the latter, right? Because the solar eclipse destroyed the world, the future world is gone!"

Kira felt somewhat confident in this regard.

Because when Mashima was drawing Fairy Tail, every story had a happy ending. He did a lot of sit-ups to achieve this, so that very few people died in the final battle, unlike his later work, Eden Starfield, which was full of slashing scenes!

"You're right!"

Hoplet nodded in agreement, following Kira's words: "According to the original work, under normal circumstances, the future will be changed, but the 'memories' and 'pains' caused by future people to people in this time and space cannot be repaired, and the dead cannot be resurrected. Everything else will be corrected."

"In other words, people 'now' will still remember that someone traveled through time and that their injuries cannot be healed, but physical things should be able to be restored to their original state."

"Huh?! But I remember at the end of the Grand Magic Games arc, Crocus didn't revert to his original form!"

"That's because of the lunar eclipse; time is excessively distorted!" Hoplett explained.

"Oh right, that does seem to be true, I remember now!"

Kira suddenly realized something, but quickly sensed something was wrong. "Wait a minute! If that's the case, then 'the present timeline' will be the only world that's injured? That's really tragic!"

"So, after all that, what exactly do you want to do by using the eclipse to travel to this present? You're not trying to tell me something extraordinary has happened in the next seven months, are you?"

"There were quite a few serious things... but with you here, nothing bad happened in the end!"

Kira frowned immediately, looking Hopelight up and down, and suddenly felt that there was something awkward about her.

However, before he could make his move, he was drawn in by what the other person said next.

"The main reason I used solar eclipse traversal was actually—"

Hoplet narrowed her eyes and gave a faint smile.

"I want to test whether I can change 'Days of Future Past' to 'Parallel World'!"
