A magic merchant infiltrating Fairy Tail

'This story is obviously made up; it's too fake. Who would read it?'

Dispel mentally scoffed, skimmed through two pages with a critical eye, and then... couldn't stop.

"What are you looking at?"

When Kira noticed the sudden silence, he assumed Dispel was doing something indescribable with his magical artifacts. But when he approached, he saw Dispel engrossed in reading a novel under the yellowish light, like a student cramming for exams at the last minute.

"Oh, you're reading this book, it's so good!" Dispel exclaimed excitedly, as if he had become 10 years younger.

"The lonely magical prodigy Yan, the guild member Lax who bullies him, the heroine Lu Xun with an extraordinary background who silently stays by his side, the girl Serena from the neighboring guild who comes to break off her engagement, the scarf that contains the soul of the ancient dragon king 'Inil'... This plot, this setting, is simply too wonderful!"

His eyes were shining, as if he had found some treasure.

"You have good taste!" Kira gave a thumbs up. "This book was a huge hit throughout the entire Kingdom of Fiore a couple of years ago!"

"I never imagined you could write a book like this. It's a waste of your talent to be a mage!"

Dispel exclaimed that, although he had traveled across three continents, this was the first time in his life he had read such a wonderful novel.

"I've made up my mind!" Dispel exclaimed. "I'm not going to sleep tonight, I'm definitely going to finish watching it, waaaaah..."

Kira, embarrassed: "Whatever..."

The next day, when Kira went downstairs, he found Dispel asleep in a chair.

After leaving him a note saying "Watch the shop for me," Kira set off for the guild.

As expected, the Guild Council came to arrest them. The Crescent Knights of the Forced Restraint Squad took all the Fairy Tail members to the military base and questioned and interrogated them one by one. After all, starting a war with Phantom Lord was a violation of the guild covenant, and they had to deal with it.

When they returned, it was already a week later. The council's final decision on the matter was the same as in the original work. With the help of Makarov's old friend, Councilor Yajima, Fairy Tail was ultimately found not guilty, Phantom Lord was disbanded, and Joseph was stripped of his title as one of the Ten Wizard Saints.

Several trivial things happened during this time. First, Lucy went home for a while. What exactly happened is unknown because Kira didn't go with her. But she seemed to be more integrated into the group, so Kira guessed that the plot should be no different from the original work. Lucy had completely run away from home.

After that, Natsu, Lucy, Gray, and Erza's team was still formed. They had originally invited Kira, but Kira was a family business owner, so why would he sacrifice his leisure time for a mere mission reward?

The person who felt the most regretful among them should be Natsu, because if Kira were here, they wouldn't have to travel by car to do missions in the future!

In order to contribute their share of funds for the guild's reconstruction, Natsu and the others had to take on as many missions as possible. Although most of their earnings were used to compensate for guild property, they still managed to scrape together enough.

Next, Juvia was brought back to the guild by Mira and, with Makarov's consent, became a member of Fairy Tail; at her request, Makarov, along with Kira, recruited Gajeel as well.

Finally, Loki's identity as a Protoss was exposed. Although Kira's magical artifacts provided support, the previous missions had exhausted him. After all that, he managed to hold on until this point, which made Kira marvel at the greatness of love.

Lucy has obtained another golden key she's been dreaming of; she still has three more to go before she has them all.

Compared to her, Kira felt a bit regretful because he didn't get to see the Celestial Spirit King. He had originally wanted to take advantage of this rare opportunity to see how strong the Celestial Spirit King was, but he missed it because he went to dig up Gajeel. By the time he returned, Natsu and the others had already gone on a trip using Loki's hotel voucher.

Chapter 114 Fairy Tail Love Story (2) Bullet Date (Part 1)

Two days before Fairy Tail and Phantom Lord went to war, before Kira and his group had even set off for Zonia...

The guild was as lively as ever. Those who were addicted to alcohol were still drinking, those who were always smoking were still smoking, those who loved to draw were still drawing, and the good students who loved to study were still reading diligently.

Finally, the two people who were always thinking about taking their relationship to the next level got together and chatted and laughed.

Alzak and Bisca sat facing each other, exchanging seemingly casual glances. Every few seconds, they would exchange a few whispered words with a smile, then blush with delight, as if they had just eaten honey.

Bisca Cornell, an immigrant from the Western Continent, has long green hair and is often seen wearing a cowboy hat, bright red lipstick, a simple bra that reveals her powerful abs, and a coat over it, exuding a wild and untamed aura.

Several years ago, when she first arrived in Ishgar, she was just a delinquent. Being unfamiliar with the place, unemployed, and penniless, she used the name "Fairy Tail" to cause trouble, swindle, and even work as a thief.

Her magic is "Gunner," a gun-type costume magic. Her exceptional eyesight and shooting skills allow her to hit her target every time, but when she encounters Erza, she can only be defeated.

After being defeated, Erza invited her to join the guild, and there she met Alzak, a fellow immigrant from the Western Continent. They fell in love at first sight and secretly loved each other for several years afterward.

Alzak uses the magic of "bullets," which allows him to load guns with magical bullets of different attack types.

Both being immigrants from the Western Continent, and possessing magic that perfectly complements guns and bullets, these two are a match made in heaven.

They knew they liked each other, and they also knew the other liked them; everyone in the guild could see that they liked each other, and they could also see that everyone in the guild could see that they liked each other.

But these two just wouldn't say it outright, which made everyone in the guild anxious for them. Every time they saw the two of them looking shy together, the older guys, led by Wakaba and Marco, would give them a silly, inappropriate smile, but they enjoyed it.

Facing his beloved, Alzak felt a little awkward and stammered, "Kira just gave me two movie tickets for tomorrow. I was wondering... if you have time...?"

Bisca said shyly, "Is...is that so? Since it's Kira's gift, we can't refuse..."

That meant he agreed, and Alzak silently exclaimed "Yay!" to himself.

Having confirmed their date for the next day, the two were filled with excitement, shyness, and anticipation for tomorrow.

Not far away, Kira silently watched the two of them flaunting their love, inwardly seething with resentment: "Pah! The stench of romance!"

Rocky, who was standing nearby, noticed Kira's gaze and walked over to tease him, "What's wrong? If you're envious, hurry up and find a girlfriend. If you need, I can introduce you to some. I have a bunch of girlfriends, including several really nice girls."

Kira's face darkened upon hearing this: "To have the audacity to say something like 'my girlfriends,' you're probably the only one in the entire guild who would do that..."

“I’m telling you, shouldn’t you be single-minded about this kind of thing?” Kira rolled her eyes at Loki and complained, “Bisca and Alzak only like each other, Cana only likes alcohol, I only like money, how come you…”

"What's wrong with me? I'm very loyal too; I only like young and pretty girls!"

Kira, upon hearing this, thought it made sense, since he couldn't refute it at all: "Tsk tsk tsk... You lecherous bastard, you've really broadened my worldview!"

"So, what exactly are you angry about?" Rocky asked.

Kira clenched his right fist, wrapped it with his left, and secretly exerted force with both hands as he replied, "It's that Bisca girl. She ordered a batch of bullets from me before, but a couple of days ago she told me she didn't want them anymore!"

Loki looked up, a hint of pity in his eyes, at Bisca, who was being intimate with Alzak: 'To think she'd gotten herself into trouble with that lunatic Kira over business and money... has she gone mad with love...?'

After feigning a cough, Rocky felt he should still plead for Bisca: "You're this angry just because you made a batch of bullets for nothing? It can't be that serious, can it?"

"Oh no, I haven't even started making that batch of bullets yet!"

"Um... since you haven't even started doing it yet, why are you angry?"

What kind of talk is that?

Kira said unhappily, "Hey, hey, hey, I lost a deal for nothing, a lot of money! Most importantly, I was cheated by my guildmates, okay?"

"How did it escalate to this level? You're just unhappy because you lost business, right?" Rocky blushed, then immediately denied his previous statement, "No, you're clearly just looking for an excuse to mess with someone, aren't you?"

Kira slammed his fist on the table in a rage: "What did you say? Am I that kind of person?"

You're absolutely right!

Rocky thought this to himself, but dared not say it aloud.

"Did she say why she didn't want it anymore? Is it because you've been lazy and delivered the goods too late?"

"That's what makes me angry!" Kira slammed his fist on the wooden table in front of him angrily. "When I asked her why I canceled the order, she actually told me, 'Alzak will be filling my bullets from now on, so I won't need yours anymore!'"

"Listen to this, listen to this! A girl saying such shameful things! I blushed just hearing it!"

Rocky seemed to have thought of something, and a mysterious smile appeared on his face. What Kira found even more unbelievable was that he actually blushed a little, which was rare for a seasoned lover like him.

After a long pause, he said to Kira, "What's shameful about it... I think the bullet she was talking about was just a regular bullet."

"How could you think that? Those were Alzak's bullets, they couldn't just be ordinary bullets!"

Kira looked at Loki with a strange expression. "You forgot? His magic can create all sorts of bullets that can be fired to launch magical attacks! They're much more effective than ordinary lead bullets."

Rocky seemed to pause awkwardly for two seconds before letting out a breath and saying, "So that's what you mean. That's normal, considering they're only one step away from being together."

"Normal? Do you think it's normal to break your promise to your comrades for the sake of mere love?" Kira's voice rose considerably. "In Fairy Tail, guildmates should come first, and all feelings of family and love should come second!"

"But Alzac is also a comrade in the guild..."

"Ugh, I can't stand hearing this! You can't let emotions cloud your judgment when it comes to business. I'm going to get my revenge!"

Rocky thought Kira's behavior was incredibly childish and asked helplessly, "So what do you want to do?"

"What are you going to do... Heh heh!" Kira grinned wickedly. "I'm going to give them the worst possible date ever!"

……

The next day, Kira secretly followed Bisca and Alzak, and Loki followed along to keep him from going too far.

The observant Rocky noticed that Bisca had changed her lipstick shade, put on a pearl necklace and earrings that she rarely wore, and even changed her boots to a pair of white ones. She was dressed up in a flamboyant and beautiful way, looking graceful and charming. It seemed that she had prepared a lot for this date.

In contrast, Alzak seemed much more careless, dressed as usual, though it was clear he had "dressed up a little"—he had taken a shower.

At this moment, Kira put on a disguise mask, disguised himself as an ordinary passerby, and followed behind them: "Pfft... I'm sure Alzak didn't notice Bisca's change."

Seeing the two people not far away, too shy to look at each other, and their hands that wanted to hold but dared not, Rocky couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Really? He usually cares a lot about the other person!"

"Hmph! I'll show you what happens when you cancel my order!" Kira stared at the two of them and said viciously.

What are you going to do?

"Don't worry, the show is about to begin!"

Our first stop on our date was the Magnolia Cinema.

The cinema in Magnolia was opened by Kira and has been established for less than 5 years, but it is already quite popular with the locals. Even residents from other cities occasionally come here for tourism.

Using image crystals for large-screen projection, movies can be far more appealing than stage plays or operas!

Young men and women, in particular, are more receptive to magic and technology. They can also deepen their relationship while having fun, which is why they enjoy leisure activities like movies so much!

Chapter 115 Fairy Tail Love Story (2) Bullet Date (Part 2)

As a movie theater investor, Kira could easily make a movie and get two more tickets.

Normally, when couples go on a date to watch a movie, if it's not a romance, it's a horror movie. But this movie was specially prepared by Kira for revenge, so it's neither.

What's playing on the big screen now is a dry and boring science documentary that tells the story of the origin and development of magical technology, as well as some of the more well-known technologies and applications today.

Although movies are very appealing these days, there's no way anyone would like a movie like this, especially not the Fairy Tail crew, who are energetic and usually rely on fists and magic!

Only someone like Kira, who is immersed in weapons making all year round, would occasionally glance at such a movie. Others, even a studious girl like Levy, would avoid this kind of movie like the plague. You can imagine how torture it would be for these two young people on a date to watch this kind of movie!

Most importantly, in order to cause mischief, Kira specially sent a gift under the guise of a "lucky guest"—a bucket of popcorn containing a "trick box."

The Mischief Box looks ordinary, just a small silver tin box, but if someone touches it, it will trigger a fear spell and turn into something that can scare people.

Fear magic is real-time sensing, so its effect varies from person to person, and even for the same person, it changes each time. The only thing in common is that it can absolutely scare people if they are unprepared.

This is precisely why the prank box is so popular with kids who are addicted to playing pranks.

However, to Kira's great disappointment, Bisca and Alzak, despite sitting in the best seats in the movie theater, kept their heads down stiffly, neither watching the movie nor looking at each other, and didn't even eat the free snacks they had.
