A magic merchant infiltrating Fairy Tail

A sense of foreboding welled up in the passerby's heart. The powerful magic pressed down on him, causing him to break out in a cold sweat and turn ashen-faced: "Wait...wait...I was wrong!! I..."

But it was too late!

"Full Body Receive - Sera!"

"Everyone, listen to my command... Stop the car!!"

Under the spell's power, a large number of contestants uncontrollably stopped their accelerators, slowed down, and came to a stop, including contestant number 15 who was leading in first place thanks to magic.

"What's going on?! My body is moving on its own!!"

"I don't want to stop! I want to drive!! Please let me drive!!"

"Being forced to sleep by Miss Mira...it's truly an honor!!!"

The track was in chaos due to the command spell, but the chaos was not over yet!

"Changing Outfit: Sea God's Sword!!"

A flash of red magic light appeared, and a sword made of water materialized in Erza's right hand. She multitasked, controlling the motorcycle with her left hand while raising the Sea God's Sword and slashing it forcefully into the ground with her right!

boom!!

Wherever the magic passed, a torrent of water as fierce as ocean waves surged and roared, and almost all the participants on the track were swept in and swept off the track in the blink of an eye!

"Aaaaaah... What is this?!"

"Why are there waves on the track?!"

"Danger!! Get out of the way... *gurgle gurgle*"

Half a minute later, only three cars remained on the track.

Erza and Mira were still ahead, while Kira followed slowly behind. He was completely dry, from head to toe, as if the changes around him had nothing to do with him.

……

"The match is over!"

"The champion is contestant number 3, Erza Shucklet!!"

"The runner-up is contestant number 7, Mirajane Strauss!!"

"The third place goes to contestant number 21, Kira Hauplet!!!"

Let's congratulate them!

Under the stunned gaze of the audience, the host announced the three's scores, and then shakily handed the three prizes to Kira and the other two. He then quickly retreated, afraid that if he was too slow, the two women in front of him would order him to sleep or sweep him away with a flood.

Holding the 2 J prize he had just received, Kira felt extremely happy, and his body felt refreshed, like after a workout.

"Hooray... This match was really easy!"

Chapter 632 Daily Life - Christmas Carnival (3) Couple Shooting

"Second game, shooting!!"

After finishing his race, Kira excitedly ran towards the next game field: shooting sports.

As for why this was chosen... driving first and then shooting, isn't that normal?

"Oh, I know someone here too!"

As soon as Kira arrived at the shooting range, he saw several familiar figures:

Arzak, dressed smartly and neatly, and Bisca, whose beauty remained undiminished despite her large belly—

The couple, married for almost a year, were full of confidence and high spirits. When it came to marksmanship, not only in Fairy Tail, but throughout the entire Magnolia, no one was more professional than them.

The couple was incredibly excited to finally win against those monsters from the guild in a head-on battle.

"When it comes to shooting, my husband and I are second to none!"

"We won't hold back here!"

Lucy, a Sagittarius Celestial with top-notch archery skills, and her teammates and supporters Natsu and Happy—

"Go for it, Lucy!!"

"Leave it to me!!"

Gray, who had spent years using lancers to shoot men, and Juvia, who had followed him here—

"Ugh~ Seriously! Lord Gray sneaked out on a date with Lucy again! Juvia was right there..."

"I already said it wasn't a date!"

"Hmph! Juvia must get her hands on this prize!!"

Kira hesitated, feeling completely out of place: "Goodness... this place is all husband-and-wife teams!... Wait! It doesn't seem like all of them are?"

After looking around, Kira's eyes fell on Timaria and Brandish in the corner.

The two glanced at Kira and nodded as a greeting.

"Not bad, they actually greeted us... I thought they wouldn't talk to us..."

Kira quickly realized why most of the participants here were a man and a woman: there were two shooting games available: a single-player mode and a couples mode.

The winner of the single-player mode will receive a brand-new magic weapon; while the final winner of the couples mode shooting game will receive a 'Cupid's Bow and Arrow'!

This is a bow and arrow left behind by the god of love in the human world according to legend. As long as someone is hit by it, regardless of their race, gender, or age, they will surely become lovers and live a peaceful and happy life together.

The couples mode competition requires two people to team up to register, but fortunately, with the gimmick of 'Cupid's Arrow', it quickly attracted a bunch of friends who haven't made their relationship public yet, couples in love, married couples, and men and women who are not recognized by society.

"No wonder Juvia values ​​the prizes for this competition so much..."

Kira decided not to participate in the individual competition. Anyway, he could have as many magical guns as he wanted. Ordinary magical guns were not even as effective in combat as a single basic magic attack, so he decided to stay here and watch the show!

Upon hearing that the upcoming match would require teamwork and varying degrees of physical activity, Alzak suddenly hesitated, his gaze towards Bisca filled with concern: "Bisca, is your body... alright? Maybe we should just skip it?"

He came out with Bisca today, originally intending only to stroll around the town, have something to eat, and then head back. But Bisca couldn't contain her excitement after seeing the shooting game and insisted on playing it.

Alzak's status in the family is currently second, which is relatively low, and no amount of persuasion can change that.

"Don't worry! The doctor said that appropriate exercise is good for your child's health!"

Bisca lowered her head, her fair and clean hands gently touching her six-month-old, already quite large belly, her eyes filled with boundless tenderness.

Lucy watched this scene quietly from a distance, and suddenly thought of her mother Leila, who had died many years ago, and felt a little sad.

In contrast, Natsu and Happy, who had no memory of their mothers, were unaware of Bisca's maternal instincts. The two of them, like two curious children, kept asking her questions.

Is Bisca about to lay an egg?

"This...is not..."

"Whose egg is it? Alzak's? Or mine?"

"How could it possibly be yours?!"

"Hey!! Bisca, what does it feel like to lay an egg?"

"I already said it's not for laying eggs!!"

"Ahhh~ When will Juvia lay an egg for Lord Gray?"

"That's absolutely impossible..."

Kira and Gray greeted Alzak, asking about his recent life. Perhaps because he was about to become a father and had responsibilities and burdens on his shoulders, they noticed that Alzak was no longer as naive and reserved as before, but had become much more cheerful, which was undoubtedly a good sign.

Have you decided on a name for your child?

"It's decided! The boy will be named Billk, and the girl will be named Aska."

Alzak gave an embarrassed smile, his awkwardness no different from that of any new father—at least that's what Kira and Gray thought.

"This name...it's basically just a combination of both of your names, isn't it?! Isn't that way way too casual?! Couldn't you have put a little more effort into it?!"

After carefully considering the two names, Kira was speechless.

"How's your savings for baby formula coming along?"

“No need to worry about that, it’s more than enough!” Alzak replied firmly and confidently, clearly showing his full confidence in the matter.

Kira instantly understood and couldn't help but look in Bisca's direction.

Gray was momentarily confused and frowned as he asked, "I remember Bisca hasn't worked for several months because of her pregnancy, right? Do you really have enough savings?"

"Stop asking questions!"

Kira pressed Gray's head down, interrupting the innocent young man's questioning, and looked at Alzak, saying, "If you and your husband ever have any difficulties, feel free to ask me or the rest of the guild for help!"

"Hey! Kira! You interrupted me again..."

"I understand, thank you!"

Alzak knew the two meant well, but as a father and husband, he still wanted to rely on himself. "But don't worry! I'll take good care of them!"

Kira nodded silently.

He suddenly realized that when he helped others lately, he rarely mentioned things like costs or interest, which was not a good sign!

The competition officially began shortly afterward.

The competition rules are as follows: the organizers will use a machine to raise a bunch of latex balloons made of a special material. The two participants stand inside the designated line, one holding a blue arrow and the other holding a pink arrow. Within the specified time, the more balloons with both blue and pink arrows inserted at the same time, the higher the score of that group.

Bisca, heavily pregnant, held a pink bow and arrow, smiling confidently. The once dashing Western gunslinger had lost some of her sharpness and gained more cuteness: "Although it's not firearms but a bow and arrow, my teamwork with Alzak is the best in the game! Right, Alzak?"

"Yes, it is!"

The couple smiled at each other and walked to the designated competition area. Gazing at the balloons floating in the sky, their eyes sharpened simultaneously.

Bang! !

At the sound of gunfire, Alzak and Bisca moved simultaneously, drawing their arrows, nocking their bows, pulling the strings, and firing rapidly. Their movements were almost perfectly synchronized, and each arrow was as fast as lightning and as powerful as thunder, not only swift and powerful but also incredibly accurate.

Immediately afterwards, a series of whooshing sounds filled the air.

Alzak and Bisca truly lived up to their reputation as the guild's strongest snipers. On average, they fired an arrow every three seconds without missing a shot. With just a quick glance, they could distinguish which shots the enemy had fired but they hadn't, and which shots they had fired but the enemy hadn't. They would immediately follow up on the former and deliberately avoid the latter.

Whoosh...

"Wow...that's amazing!!"
