Fairy Tail Space Mage

Legend has it that Zeref, the Dark Mage and the world's most talented mage, single-handedly created almost all of magic! Sora certainly can't compare to him. But with continued effort, Sora could at least create one or two spells suitable for himself!

Sora's goals changed because of his battle with Gildarts. He no longer focused on acquiring and learning spatial magic, but instead sought to understand its essence and create his own unique spatial magic.

Unbeknownst to Sora, after the battle, Gildarts specifically discussed Sora with Makarov upon returning. Gildarts probably couldn't believe that this little guy, who had only learned magic a year and a half ago and whose magic power was only a little over three thousand, was so difficult to deal with.

After this incident, Gildarts began to pay attention to Sora. He believed Sora was a quiet and unassuming dark horse within the guild, but with terrifying potential!

Chapter 014 Mira's Feelings

Before he knew it, the year 779 arrived. Kong had grown another year older, now 14 years old. His life had also undergone a slight change.

In addition to practicing martial arts, cultivating magic, reading, and completing quests, Kong's schedule now includes new activities such as studying spell formulas and magic circles, analyzing magic, and conducting simple magic experiments.

Of course, sometimes he would also have dinner at Mira's and her siblings' house...

Almost everyone in the guild knows that Mira has feelings for Sora. This is because every time Sora returns to the guild hall, Mira uses transformation magic to change her wild, delinquent-looking appearance (showing her midriff) into that of a gentle, elegant girl in a purplish-red dress.

This was a completely different person, so much so that her nemesis Elsa, her brother Elfman, and her sister Lisanna dared not recognize her!

Lisanna had actually seen through her sister's feelings long ago. She noticed it the night she met Sora, when her sister cried and vented her emotions in Sora's dorm room. Lisanna also sensed that Sora treated her sister differently.

But the two made no progress in more than six months, which made Lisanna, who was watching from the sidelines, a little anxious. So, she came up with the idea of ​​having her sister invite Kong over for dinner.

She initially thought the plan had a high chance of success, but Sora's immediate agreement without any consideration made it impossible for Lisanna to discern Sora's true intentions.

Normally, people would make some connections. Like, "I hope we can become family and have dinner together," or "Brother-in-law," and so on. But Sora didn't seem to have any of those thoughts; she just ate whatever was available. That's probably all Sora was thinking.

Xun'er, on the other hand, was very happy. She was fed up with the same old dinners every day.

Xun'er could tolerate Kong remaining silent and engrossed in a book for half a day. But she couldn't bear to see delicious, colorful food right in front of her, yet Kong wouldn't choose anything. Especially desserts—such delicious things, yet Kong would pass by without even glancing at them!

While Xun'er and Kong are similar in that they are quiet and enjoy reading, their food preferences are completely different. Xun'er, in particular, is somewhat unhappy about always feeding the "cat" Chinese food.

Mira is a great cook, but since it was her first time inviting Sora to her dorm for dinner, she still researched Sora's preferences beforehand. And of course, she also checked Kaoru's preferences.

So when Kong tasted this food, so different from what she usually ate alone, and so delicious, a strong feeling of emotion welled up inside her. It was as if she had been under some kind of emotional spell!

"So, Kong? Does it suit your taste?" Mira asked Kong, a little nervously.

"Mmm, it's so delicious! I've never eaten anything so delicious in my memory! ... Mira, I think if it were a few years later, after I've eaten this kind of food, I would definitely propose to you right away!" After taking a few more bites, Sora suddenly looked at Mira and answered her seriously.

Upon hearing Kong's words, Mira froze for a moment, her face immediately turning bright red, and steam even billowed out as if she had short-circuited! Lisanna and Elfman were dumbfounded! Xun'er, on the other hand, choked on the soft cake for the first time!

After recovering from her mental lapse, Mira dared not speak to Sora again, or even look her in the eye. Her face remained flushed until the very end.

Lisanna originally wanted to join in the fun and cheer, but seeing that her sister's shyness had reached its limit, she could only be understanding and give up for the time being.

Xun'er looked at Kong and Mira with great curiosity, realizing for the first time that there was such a special relationship between the two.

She's always with Kong, so why didn't she notice at all?

So, instead of becoming more lively because they had invited guests, Mira and her siblings' dinner tonight became even quieter. Everyone except Kong and the "cat" finished their meal in an odd atmosphere. After the delicious dinner, they couldn't remember what it tasted like at all.

However, this matter was not over yet. The next day, quite unusually, Sora invited Mira to do a request together. It was just the two of them.

Macao (a mage who uses purple flame magic) and Wakkaba (a mage who uses smoke magic) immediately started whistling. Then, the shy Mira killed them both with two chops. Erza also took advantage of their misfortune, coming to Mira's side, patting her on the shoulder and saying, "Well. I won't argue with you today."

Natsu was quite interested and wanted to go along, but Lisanna pulled him away.

It's normal for Natsu to be interested. The request he received was to "exorcise the ghost from the inn." Souls do exist, but "ghosts" are different from souls; even in the world of Fairy Tail, they still only exist in legends.

Kong didn't believe they could encounter a real "ghost." He guessed it was more likely a weak demon.

The dark mage Ralph created tens of thousands of demons, and as long as their "Book of Demons" is not destroyed, they will continue to be resurrected. And demons always possess a variety of strange abilities. It's not surprising that some demons have ghost-like abilities.

Fairy Tail currently has no Demon Slayer Mages; there's no record of any Demon Slayer Mages in the entire Fiore Kingdom. However, the Fairy Tail world has a unique system of "same-sex predation and same-sex counteraction." Using demonic power is the most effective way to deal with demons. Therefore, Sora's decision to team up with Mira is definitely not a continuation of yesterday's strange atmosphere.

Of course, Sora didn't realize anything was amiss in his words during dinner yesterday. "The food is so delicious, anyone would want to marry her and eat her cooking every day. Is there anything strange about that analogy?"

In Kong's eyes, 14 years old wasn't an age that had much to do with romance. Besides, when he read the manga before, he felt that Mira was a woman who put family and friendship first, and love last. Even if he had feelings for Mira, he felt that without settling things over with Elfman and Lisanna, there was no way he and Mira could have a future together.

In reality, Sora felt that women like Mira were somewhat unattainable for him. Even if there was hope, it was impossible to develop feelings for her so quickly. His limited life experience on Earth had also taught Sora one thing—without ability, it's difficult to win the attention of beautiful and outstanding women. Sora preferred to focus his energy on improving his strength, especially now that the shock of Gildarts hadn't subsided.

Unlike Sora's thoughts, Mira considered Sora to be a very special person even six months ago.

No one knows how desperate, confused, and helpless she felt back then, when she had to leave her hometown with her younger brother and sister and wander around because of her arm! And at that time, Sora, who chose to fall from the sky to help the three siblings, was more handsome and more amazing than any prince charming in Mila's eyes!

(This novel was really just the author's personal enjoyment. When writing it, the author had no high expectations or pressure, hence the rather bland and light writing style.)

Chapter 015 Ghost

With Mira prepared, Kong used a teleportation magic circle to travel through three cities and arrive at their destination.

After recovering their magic power through meditation, the two found the inn that had issued the request and began to carry it out. Learning that the ghost only appeared in one double room, and only at night, Sora decided to stay in that room with Mira, waiting for the ghost to reveal itself.

Even though the innkeeper already knew that the two children were guild mages who had come to handle a request, the receptionist at the front desk still gave them strange looks.

A man and a woman alone in a room. Although there's a slight age difference, is it really okay?

You know, there are a lot of things in a double room that are suggestive of "that kind of thing." Is it really okay?

After entering the double room, the two carefully checked its contents, but found nothing. Therefore, staying there until night became the only option.

However, because of the teleportation magic circle, Sora and Mira arrived too early. It's only early morning; it will be a long time before nightfall.

Sora and Mira certainly couldn't just wait around like that. After discussing it, they decided to wander around the city.

This city is located at a major land transportation hub, and its service industry is highly developed. Naturally, there are many different kinds of shops. Although shopping is a very time-consuming activity, it's unavoidable if you want to find unexpected treasures.

However, for Mila, who harbored unusual feelings, this simply became what people called a "date between young lovers." At least, that's what the passersby and shopkeepers thought. Mila looked at herself, excited yet shy, alone in front of the glass window by the roadside, feeling both happy and troubled.

Mira seems to be Sora's lucky charm. This trip to the shops yielded many valuable items for Sora. For example, there were precious books by ancient, famous mages describing space-related magic, and the "Dream Crystal," a magical material he had been searching for but couldn't find.

Even more surprisingly, a damaged "magic ring" (a magical item that can store magic power) was found in a shop.

Its damage rate is less than one percent, and Sora can repair it using "Memory Repair Technique". Since it has lost its function and can only be used for decoration (blue-purple rose design), Sora bought it back for only 1 J.

Back at the inn at noon, Sora immediately repaired it. After inputting magic power, he discovered it could store approximately 2000 units of magic power. This capacity wasn't much, but it wasn't little either. If he were to resell it, someone would be willing to buy it for a few million J.

Sora frequently needs to use teleportation magic circles, often running out of mana. If attacked during this time, he would be completely defenseless. With these 2000 extra units of mana, Sora will undoubtedly be much safer after each use of the teleportation magic circle.

Because he had bought so much, Kong was in a great mood. He and Mira spent most of the afternoon enjoying shopping. They ate some local snacks, looked at some beautiful and fashionable clothes, and even picked out gifts for Lisanna, Elfman, and Xun'er. Afterwards, they went to some tourist attractions. Finally, they had a street artist paint a "couple's portrait" of them against the backdrop of the sunset.

Even though Kong's emotional intelligence had been consistently low, he eventually realized that something was wrong with his relationship with Mira. Of course, he could only continue to pretend he knew nothing.

Night fell, and the time between them became somewhat unbearable. Realizing something was wrong, Kong panicked, unsure how to handle the situation. He could only take out a book from his spatial ring and begin to read intently. He hoped this would ease the awkwardness between him and Mira.

Mira, unsure of what to do, excused herself to "take a shower" and slipped into the bathroom. Yes, after a long day of running around, a shower was definitely necessary. It was absolutely not an indication that she intended to do anything "bad."

However, neither of them expected that it was at this moment that the hotel's "ghost" appeared.

"Ghosts can possess other people, especially mages who use receiving magic, making them very suitable for possession..."

Just as Sora saw that sentence, Mira had already silently appeared in front of him. Of course, with just one glance, Sora knew that it wasn't Mira. Mira wouldn't be running around wrapped in a bath towel. Nor would she be looking at him with that, well, curious gaze.

Seemingly noticing that Sora was watching her, she took a few steps back, nimbly climbed onto the bed, and sat there, staring intently at Sora. Her movements were so exaggerated that her bath towel came off. Thus, 14-year-old Mira's beautiful figure was presented to Sora without any obstruction.

Even though Mira was only 14 years old, Kong still found it very exciting. He quickly covered his eyes with a book, and while he was at it, he looked to see if there were any methods to deal with ghosts in the book.

Sora was certain the other party was a ghost. Otherwise, how could Mira have been possessed so easily? If it were just an ordinary demon, Mira would have already absorbed it. But with a powerful demon, Sora could definitely sense its magical power.

A few minutes later...

“Um, I won’t hurt you. So, can you tell me what your wish is?” Kong asked “Mira,” who was sitting on the bed, while Kong held up a book to his eyes.

"I want a hug, and a kiss!"

Mira speaks like a six or seven-year-old girl. The way she jumped onto the bed in fright just now was just like that.

"Okay, sure. But first, pick up that towel and wrap it back up like you did before. That's what a good girl does. I only hug good girls."

Kong could tell the other person's age from their tone of voice. He began to coax the little girl.

"Lilith is a good girl, Lilith will be obedient."

Lilith (Mira) laboriously got off the bed and awkwardly wrapped the towel back around herself. Then she sat on the edge of the bed, waiting for an empty hug and kiss.

"Is it done?" Kong asked when he heard no more movement.

"Alright. Come and hug Lilith!"

Lilith answered immediately.

Sora carefully moved the book aside and saw that Lilith was wrapped in a bath towel, but it was wrapped haphazardly and looked like it might fall off at any moment. But she couldn't expect the "little kid" to fix it properly now. Sora took a deep breath, went to Lilith, opened her arms, and intended to grant her wish to "hug" her.

"Hey~!" Kong didn't expect that before he could even squat down, Lilith pounced on him, wrapping her arms tightly around his neck and launching a surprise attack!

Kong almost missed catching her. Although the other person's movements were those of a child, their weight was that of a 14-year-old girl. And with that lunge, the already loosely wrapped towel completely fell off.

Well, Sora was a little annoyed that the "Black Knight" leather armor was too thin. Whether it was soft or smooth, Sora could feel it very clearly. The girl's delicate fragrance filled his nostrils, making Sora's head spin a little.

In that case, he's about to lose his rationality and transform from a "boy" into a "man".

(Such scenes occasionally occur, but only occasionally.)

Chapter 016: Marriage?

“This ‘hug’ is really… Is this enough, Lilith?” After a long while, Sora seemed to have silently recited “Form is emptiness, emptiness is form” many times before finally calming down.

"Hmm. Brother, you're so useless, you almost couldn't catch Lilith. But for some reason, Lilith feels very comfortable being held like this by brother."

As Lilith spoke, her voice suddenly softened. Kong glanced at her cheek and noticed that it was slightly flushed.

"Oh no, this can't go on. We have to finish this as soon as possible."

Kong felt uneasy. Although the little girl inside Mira's body didn't understand those things, Mira's body wasn't that of a little girl. Being held by a man in this situation naturally...

"Alright, Lilith. The 'hug' is over, now it's time for the 'kiss'."

After saying this, Sora lowered his head and, with all his might, gave "Lilith" a quick, gentle kiss on the forehead, like a chick pecking at rice. He felt this was even more strenuous than fighting Laxus. Even though it was for a special reason, Sora still felt his cheeks burning hot, as if they were on fire.

"No! Lilith doesn't want this kind of 'kiss,' she wants the kind of 'kiss' that Daddy gives Mommy, the kind that goes from mouth to mouth!"

Lilith was kissed on the forehead, but she was not satisfied.

"That kind of 'kissing' isn't something you can just do casually. It's only for married couples." A forehead kiss was already the limit for Kong at his current level. Any more intimate actions... let's just spare him.

"I don't care! Lilith wants a 'kiss,' she wants to get married!"

Lilith immediately objected, hanging on Sora's neck and shaking it back and forth, almost causing something that Sora had managed to suppress to come back up.

"Wait, Lilith, stop shaking! Actually, if you want to get married, the most important thing isn't 'kissing,' but getting a ring from the boy." Kong suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

"Give her a ring?... It seems that's true. Lilith saw one in the church... Lilith wants a ring, brother, hurry up and give Lilith a ring!"

Lilith was overjoyed. She left the empty room and jumped up and down on the bed. She seemed to have found an easier way to get closer to "marriage." She was very happy.

Kong quickly turned his face away.
