Chapter 281: Natsu and Happy
This question seemed a bit heavy. Erza was silent for a moment and replied, "Indeed, I often thought so when I was young! I also looked forward to it and complained about the parents I had never met, but later I gradually let it go!"
"Maybe it's for a very special reason! After all, where in this world are there parents who don't love their children?" Kira raised his head 45 degrees to the ceiling and spoke slowly, "Isn't it written like this in novels? The parents were hunted by a powerful enemy, and because they didn't want to drag down their newborn child, they had no choice but to throw the child to a small village, and only found it many years later..."
His words inevitably caused Gray to complain: "What kind of bloody novel plot are you talking about? Is there anyone who reads this kind of book?"
"Of course! Novels of this kind are very popular right now!"
Erza lowered her head and said, "No matter what the reason was for them to abandon me, nothing can be changed now. I am already a member of the guild. To be honest, the president is like my father!"
Kira was also silent for a while after hearing this, then his face changed and he jokingly said: "Hehe... Doesn't that mean he is a generation older than Laxus?"
"Huh?! Can it be calculated this way?" Erza looked confused.
"What about Gray? Did your parents leave you anything memorable?"
"There is no such thing!"
Gray shyly turned his head away, resting his chin on the table with his hand, his expression gloomy, "The original village was destroyed by Deliora, nothing is left!"
"Really? I think the memories of our life together are invaluable!"
Kira's words stunned Gray, and his thoughts flew away. Erza said directly: "How rare! You rarely say such serious words!"
"What are you talking about? I am also the guild's psychological counselor!"
Gray muttered quietly: "When did this happen? How come I never knew about it..."
"It's been a long time since then!" Then, Kira looked at Natsu and Happy who were desperate, "So, we have said so much, do you understand?"
"What do you mean?" ×2
Kira stroked the harpy's fur and explained, "Although relics are indeed important, what is more important is the time spent with family and the indelible family love! For parents, even if they are not with their children, as long as they know that they are living well, they are already satisfied! So, as children, we should also look forward and work hard to live a better life, right?"
"Is that so?" The man and the cat looked at Erza and Gray.
"Who knows?"
"I guess so?"
Natsu and Happy looked at each other and discussed in low voices.
"It sounds reasonable, but coming from Kira's mouth, it feels like a broken jar. Can Lucy accept such words?"
“…”
Kira's face was full of black lines: "Huh?! It's rare that I say these words so seriously to comfort you, and you just look at me like this?"
"But, lying is wrong, right? I still need to apologize to Lucy!"
Finally, Natsu and Happy decided to confess to Lucy, so they got up and rushed after her.
Seeing their figures gradually going away, Kira sighed helplessly: "These two stubborn guys, do they really think that I told them to say those words to Lucy?"
Gray turned back in surprise: "Huh?! Isn't it?!"
“No way!!”
"I think it's not 'not', it should be 'more than', right?"
Erza looked at the direction where Natsu and Happy left with gentle eyes, "Besides Lucy, you are talking to them too, right? After all, Natsu has been looking for Igner, and according to Xia Lulu's description, he and Happy once met a transcendent who was suspected to be Happy's parents in Edlas ..."
Kira smiled softly: "You really have inquired clearly! Then you also know that these words are also said to you, besides the three of them, right?"
"Yes! But, as I said just now, I don't..."
However, before Erza could finish her sentence, Kira interrupted her again: "Don't say you don't care! No one will believe it!"
"For someone as kind and sentimental as you, you can even give Jellal, who has done so many wrong things, a chance to redeem himself. Unless the other party is on the opposite side of Fairy Tail, you will choose to forgive them, right?"
"Well... maybe ..."
Kira continued to ask: "If we can really meet again one day, and the other person is not a bad person, would you like to try to get along with him?"
"We'll talk about it when the time comes."
Suddenly, Erza stared at Kira, "You...did you find out something I don't know?"
What a keen perception...
"No!" Kira answered nonchalantly, "I'm just asking out of curiosity."
His acting was naturally flawless, but Erza was more alert than he thought: "From what I know about you, you are not a person who speaks without purpose. Saying such things means that you have certain intelligence!"
"Hey, hey... this is just your guess, right? I'm a man no one can predict!"
Even though Kira denied it, Erza was certain that there was something fishy going on after knowing each other for so many years: "It's okay. If you don't want to talk about it, forget it. I don't particularly care."
Having said that, Erza immediately became introverted and lowered her head in thought.
How can you look like you don't care?
Kira couldn't help but complain in his heart.
In order to change the subject, he changed the subject and interviewed Gray: "What about Gray? If you can see them again, what do you want to say to them?"
"No! They're all dead, it's enough for them to rest in peace!"
"Really? You are quite reserved! Anyway, this is a rare opportunity. Wouldn't it be nice to throw yourself into the other person's arms like a child and express your longing for him?"
Kira's words seemed to reveal Gray's melancholy heart. He said impatiently, "You... are so annoying... If you have invented a tool that can communicate with the dead, then bring it out! What's the point of talking about this now?"
"Don't say that. What if something like this comes true someday?" Kira chuckled. "You'd better prepare your words in advance, otherwise it will be too late!"
"You...did you really create something extraordinary?"
"I'm so sorry, that kind of thing hasn't been made yet!"
While the three were chatting, Natsu and Happy walked in again, staggering and looking ashen.
Kira was the first to speak up and ask, "Told Lucy? How did she react?"
Plop! Plop!
"She cried..."
"He ran away without looking back..."
Kira and the other two looked at each other, expressing their helplessness: "So what are your plans? How about you really do as I said and write a book to make it up to her?"
Natsu said tremblingly: "Before that, I have to find another similar book to compensate Lucy..."
"So what if we find it? It won't be the same book anymore!"
"I know! But if I don't do this, I will never forgive myself!"
Happy followed Natsu and said, "Me too..."
A few days later...
The man and the cat went to every bookstore in Magnolia and searched all channels, but still could not find the whereabouts of "Maya's Forest", and gradually they became distracted.
"Why... can't I find it anywhere?"
Just when Natsu and Happy were about to despair, Lucy, who had been hiding for a long time, walked into the guild tavern holding a backpack.
"Natsu, Happy, I'm sorry!"
Under the doubts of Kira and others, Lucy told the truth...
Maya's Forest is a book that Lucy published at her own expense, but it didn't sell at all! She called it "heritage from her mother" because it was a book that she wrote down the stories her mother told her when she was a child.
Previously, because of Natsu and Happy's excuse of "it seems very interesting", Lucy felt a little flattered and wanted to hear compliments like "it's very interesting" from them, so when she found out that it was a lie, she was so sad that she cried and even ran away without looking back.
Lucy burst into tears out of shame: "It's all my fault that you are so upset..."
Natsu and Happy finally breathed a sigh of relief. They comforted and apologized: "No, no! We were wrong! Beat me until you calm down! Please don't cry..."
"What? It turned out to be a misunderstanding!" Looking at the two people and the cat crying, Kira was speechless, "What a waste of feelings..."
At once, six pairs of weeping eyes looked over at the same time.
"Huh?! That's too much!"
"How can you say such hurtful words?!"
"Devil! Kira is a cold-blooded devil!"
How did he become a demon? I really don't understand!
Kira got impatient and shouted, "Stop making so much noise! All this happened because the book was not well written. It's not a big deal! If you have time to cry, you might as well come to my store and buy two more books and learn how others write novels!"
“…”
“It seems to make sense…”
Soon after, there was one more book on Lucy's bookshelf.
The book has less than 100,000 words and looks a bit thin, but it is beautifully packaged and bound by Kira himself.
Its name is "Natsu and Happy", written by "Natsu and Happy".
