Fairy Tail: Magic is not such an inconvenient thing.

As soon as they entered the room, they saw the little penguin that Abbot was holding.

"This is... Lisanna?! How did Lisanna..."

“Mira, this isn’t Lisanna. This is just a little pet that looks a lot like Lisanna. Her name is Guga.”

"Coo-coo-cao-cao!"

Aibo placed Guga in Mira's arms. Mira, stunned, picked up the little one, looked him over from left to right, and then hugged him tightly, saying:

"So cute~~!"

Abo's eyes darted around:

"Ahem, do you like it? If you like it, I'll give it to you. I was worried that you would miss Lisanna, so I made a little pet that looks a lot like her. I was originally planning to give you a surprise."

"Thank you, Abbot! I love it! This little one is much cuter than Lisanna! How about you become my little sister from now on? Guga?"

Poor Lisanna, she'll probably have no place in this house when she comes back...

"Gurgle, gurgle!!" (Boss! Don't abandon me!)

From now on, you'll stay by Mira's side. Do whatever she asks you to do, and remember to make her happy as much as possible, understand? This is your first task!

"Coo coo coo..."

Guga reluctantly accepted the task.

When Ebo created Guga, he didn't make her abide by any contract like the Protoss did. Guga's underlying code is to absolutely obey Ebo's commands.

Abbot is a person who only cares about the present. If Abbot is gone, then Guga will be free, and she can do whatever she wants.

Abbott plans to plant this Guga as a mole next to Mira. He doesn't intend to do anything bad, but just to be on the safe side and have a backup plan. It would be best to have one next to each girl, but he doesn't know if they want it.

"Mira, here's a card for you. You can think of this card as a Celestial Key. Using the card will allow you to summon Guga at any time. Guga is not afraid of pain or death, so you can do whatever you want with it."

Abbott's process for creating Guga is a complete replica of Celestial Spirit magic, though many parts have been omitted, such as the magic heterogeneity part, making it a low-end version of Celestial Spirit magic.

According to Abbott's understanding, the reason why heterogeneous magic is added to celestial magic is to allow the whole system to operate naturally, because even if you don't use the power of the stars, it's still there, and celestial spirits can naturally absorb the power of the stars to survive.

But there was no other way; Guga's body was already full, and there was no room to add any more heterogeneous spells. So Guga was designed to sleep in the ancient texts when it had no magic. Guga was not able to support itself.

Abbot has done his best; he can only wait until he has a deeper understanding of this magic before upgrading Guga.

Mira happily accepted Guga. At this moment, whether Lisanna would come back or not seemed to matter anymore. Wasn't this little thing much cuter than her black-hearted sister?

"By the way, Abbott, the president asked me to ask you if you want to participate in this year's S-class mage promotion test. He needs to confirm the list of participants now."

"Well... let's leave this year's opportunity to Kana; I won't join in the fun."

"But Mystogan will be participating. His magic can even affect Erza. Cana probably can't beat him, right?"

"Huh? Why did Old Mi even bother taking the S-rank exam? He doesn't need to do any commissions now; I'm the one paying to support him."

"It's said that it was the chairman's request. You know, he listens to the chairman a lot."

"this..."

The guild leader, that vain old man, has indeed always wanted to enrich the guild's S-rank reserves.

Abbot scratched his head. To be honest, 16-year-old Kana's magic power has long exceeded 10,000, and the strength of her sacrifice-style card magic is sufficient. She is perfectly capable of being an S-class mage.

But now it seems Kana's luck is a bit bad. Although he really wanted to help Kana, but...

"Then... I'll participate in this assessment too, and see if I can help her out."

Chapter 98: Kana's Attack

A few days later, Abbo tricked several of his best friends into coming to his house, saying that the gifts he had been waiting for them for so long were finally ready.

That's right, Abbott prepared a bunch of little guga to give to them. This way, he could infiltrate spies among them and save on a gift. It was a win-win situation!

So when Erza and her friends arrived at Albert's house, they saw a bunch of little penguins jumping around and making a lot of "quacking" noises, which made their heads buzz.

Looking closer at these tiny figures... wait a minute? Aren't those their faces?! Did Abbott turn them into penguins?!

"Abbot, what are these...?"

"These are Guga! They're Elu's subordinates, meow!"

Erza's eyes turned into cat eyes, revealing a very interested expression. She grabbed a Guga that looked like Mira and started kneading it.

"Huh? Why is my Guga here too?"

Mira puffed out her cheeks unhappily, feeling as if she were being bullied by Erza.

"Didn't I take pictures of you all these past few days? That's what I'm using to make this. This is the magical pet Guga. It won't die, doesn't need any care or feeding, and can live on just a little magic. It's my latest masterpiece. You can take whichever one you like!"

Juvia searched among the gugs but couldn't find the face she wanted, and was greatly disappointed.

"Abbot, why isn't there a guga that looks like you?"

"Huh? I don't want to be my Guga! It's weird to see myself being held by someone else!"

"You know that too! Then why did you use our faces to do it!"

"Well... if you don't like yourself, I have a lot of Lisanna models here, that's fun."

"No need, I'll take this one from Mira."

Erza picked up a poor little gull and gave it a thumbs up to show her satisfaction.

"Damn it, Abbot, I want an Erza Googa too!"

Kana, holding a Levy Googler, asked curiously:

"What can this little thing do?"

"Hmm? They can detect traps and relay messages. Although they are not very strong, they are strong enough to do housework and cleaning. They are not stupid either, so you can use these little things as maids."

"This is a bit... I have a feeling that you, Abbott, have a wicked sense of humor when you make these little things..."

Levy said it was difficult to judge.

Kana, however, quickly accepted it, grabbing the Levy Googling and laughing:

"This little thing reminds me of the puppy I used to have. I've decided, I want to get one too."

"Huh? Kana, what do you mean?! Damn it, I want to raise one too!"

Levy felt increasingly uneasy as she listened, and angrily picked up a Canaguga as well. As she touched it, she found that it actually felt quite nice. Then she tried to tear open the "mascot costume" to look inside, only to discover that the penguin costume was part of their bodies, much to her disappointment.

Juvia couldn't find Abbot's Guga, so she had to settle for one of her own, and Wendy also chose one of her own Guga.

After everyone had made their selections, they looked at the dozen or so noisy guga that remained and were unsure how to evaluate them.

"Abbot, why do you make so many of these little things?"

"Because I found them to be quite useful. Although they don't have much combat power, their intelligence is quite good, probably because I shaped their souls. So I decided to make them my lab assistants, responsible for some simple recording and observation work."

Aibo felt that he had unintentionally created a bunch of Minions, and that Little Googler could actually do a lot of things.

Besides, with such a large castle, it's really too much work for just Valu and El to manage it all the time. So, my maid troupe has to be expanded significantly!

"Oh...I thought...it was all over."

Levy muttered something under her breath, and out of curiosity, Abbot accidentally overheard her increasingly veiled thoughts. After hearing them, Abbot felt completely disgusted. No matter how horny he was, he wouldn't stoop to the level of a bunch of googly...

A shut-in girl...that's terrifying! We really should find more things for Levy to do!

After the girls chose Guga, they left one after another, but two of them seemed to want to say something to Abbot.

One of them was the cat, Charlotte. She seemed to have something she wanted to ask Abbot, but she didn't dare to ask. She seemed to have been like this for the past few days. Abbot felt that she probably couldn't sort out her own thoughts, so he didn't pay attention to her.

For example, when Xia Lulu saw that Kana had stayed, she hesitated again and left with Wendy.

Kana, on the other hand, never knew how to be polite; she felt right at home staying with Abbot.

"Abbot, I heard you're also going to participate in this year's S-level test? Sigh~ Does that mean I have no hope?"

"Actually, I didn't want to participate, but Mister Gang is participating this year, and I was thinking, could I beat him first, and then lose to you..."

"Eibo!"

Kana gave a knowing look, then rubbed her forehead in exasperation and said:

"I knew it... Abbot, you can't do that. You're stronger than me, and it's only right that you were promoted to S-rank. If you're trying to lose to me on purpose, I will never accept an S-rank like that!"

"Huh? But you know I have no interest in being promoted to S-rank..."

"Didn't you want to study the three great fairy magic spells?"

"Um, I'm already a bit overwhelmed with my own experiments..."

"Anyway, I will absolutely not agree to you using this method to get me into S-rank. If you insist on doing it this way, I'd rather forfeit!"

"..."

Abbot sighed; he was at his wit's end.

"I just wanted to help you. After all, you already have S-rank strength, and you need this more than I do..."

"Since Abbott believes I have S-rank strength, then please believe that I can advance through my own efforts!"

"alright, I got it."

"Hehe, if Abbott really wants to help me, I do have a little problem right now..."

"What?"

"Abbot, your older sister is almost seventeen!"

"Um, so what?"

Kana blinked:

"So it's no longer appropriate for her to live at the church. Abbot, can you move in with me?"

"That's it? You spend more time at my house than at the church each month, don't you? I thought you'd moved here a long time ago. Anyway, my house is huge, do whatever you want."

"Hehe, then I'll go back and move now!"

Kana left satisfied.

During the month that Abbot was "missing," Kana had a very difficult time.

Although she always believed that Abbo would be alright, and no one knew Abbo's strength better than her, the thought of "losing Abbo" almost overwhelmed her reason.

Kana vaguely sensed her unusual emotions, which made her even more confused. In order to see herself more clearly, she decided to get closer to Abbot.

She had indeed planned this move in advance.

As for how Abbott views Kana's actions?

He stood and watched.

What else can he do? He's just a little kid who hasn't even grown up yet; he can't do anything.

Instead of thinking about so many unnecessary things, you should study magic and farm experience points.

But soon, Abbott realized he was wrong.

He might not even have all his hair yet, but it's also quite possible he won't have any hair at all...

Chapter 99 Goodbye Anima

Ever since Kana moved into Abbott's house, it seems that some unspoken understanding among the girls has been broken.

Some conflicts seem to have been brought to the forefront, and the relationships between the girls have become increasingly delicate.

Now, Abbot is too afraid to whisper secrets to girls in front of them, worried that he might accidentally deafen himself.

The sisters' friendship seemed a bit more superficial than he had imagined.

The main conflict actually centers on the three of them: Cana, Mira, and Juvia.

Juvia is targeting Mira, Mira is targeting Cana, and Cana is targeting Juvia.

Juvia: Let's ignore that woman, Kana, who treats me like her own sister. This Mila hasn't even started acting lately. Let's take her down!

Mira: Let's ignore this rain woman who came from who-knows-where for now. This Kana hasn't even been acting lately. Let's take her down!

Kana: There are already enough people eyeing my Abbot. Let's ignore Mira for now. This new woman isn't even pretending anymore. Let's get her!

The ideas of these three people are subtle in various ways, and Abbot really doesn't know how to evaluate them. The more he does, the more mistakes he makes, so he chooses to do nothing.
