Chapter 696: Lucy in Black
At 12 o'clock midnight, Kira left the tavern.
As a wizard leading a new era, being able to hide during the day and move out at night is a very important skill, because no one knows when a crisis will come, so you must try to maintain the most complete mental and physical state when others are least vigilant and their defenses are weakest.
This is definitely not because he didn't take care of his health when he was young, or because he often stayed up late to make magic props and write novels, which is a bad habit.
On the street, Kira's steps were a little staggering due to drinking.
"The nightlife in Kurokas is quite rich! There's so much to eat, drink, play, and see. It really deserves to be the capital. There's always something new every time I come here..."
In fact, Kira is not very good at drinking and doesn't like drinking very much. In the guild, most of the time he drinks beverages such as juice. Only when he is in a good mood or the atmosphere around him is right, will he accompany his friends or drink a little by himself.
When he is in a bad mood, Kira prefers to drink tea, because he feels that drinking tea can calm his mind at that time, while drinking alcohol will only make him more depressed. However, in this world, tea is much more expensive than alcohol.
He drank today because of the guild's atmosphere and because he was in a good mood.
The atmosphere was lively because the guild had been ranked first for three consecutive days, and Makarov would definitely celebrate this with everyone; he was in a good mood because he had fought against seven people alone in today's hunting competition, killed them all in an instant, and showed his skills, becoming the most popular figure in this great magic battle.
In the 'Popularity Vote' after today's game, the votes of Jura in second place, Laxus in third place, and Erza in fourth place, combined, only equaled 70% of the votes he received. With such data, how could he resist having a couple more drinks?
However, as he was walking, Kira suddenly saw Lucy coming towards him.
Hmm?? Lucy?? Didn't she leave with Natsu a long time ago?
Kira was confused, but when he saw the black cloak on Lucy, he immediately realized that something was wrong.
"That's my invisibility cloak??!"
The invisibility cloak is one of the magic props made by Kira. It has powerful functions such as concealing the user's body shape, smell, body temperature, and magic power. It is an essential prop for tracking dating couples, following a loved one, attacking criminals, lurking in girls' bathhouses, etc.
但那件隐匿斗篷从被自己做出来后只在某些不可告人的正经事上用过几次，其它时间一直好好待在空间仓库里，没有外泄，露西不可能得到的才对啊……
While he was thinking, Lucy on the opposite side came closer and closer, and finally stopped three meters in front of Kira: "Kira, there is something I want to tell you!"
Lucy in front of him lifted up her concealment cloak, and she looked a little tired and nervous.
Despite the concealment cloak, Kira could still notice in the night that her skin was no longer as rosy, soft and delicate as before, but instead was a bit rough, dull and gray.
"Something you have to tell me??"
Kira tilted his head, pointed at the newspaper in the other person's hand, and said, "If you want to talk about 'My popularity is now the best in the country', I already know that! After all, I am the information director of the guild. Isn't it normal to read the newspaper every day?"
"But you know me. Those false reputations are nothing but clouds to me. Wakakakaka..."
Lucy on the other side was silent for a long time in awkward silence. When Kira stopped laughing, she said worriedly, "That's not what I want to talk about! It's..."
"Not this one? So you're finally getting married to Natsu? Congratulations... By the way, what time and place are you going to choose? Don't worry, the gifts are already prepared..."
“It’s not this one either!!!”
Although she was curious about what the 'gift' Kira was talking about, Lucy knew that now was not the time to talk about it, so she interrupted Kira.
"What I want to talk about is the future of this world!!"
Half an hour later, in a 24-hour restaurant.
Lucy, who claimed that she wanted to tell Kira about the future of the world, was eating a meal worth one month's rent without any image, while explaining to Kira why she was here.
Kira, on the other hand, sat opposite her, quietly flipping through the notebook she handed him, recording "all the information he needed to know" from , while listening to her additions.
"The story begins at the very beginning. In June of X784, not long after I joined Fairy Tail, our guild formed a guild coalition with Snake Princess Scale, Blue Pegasus, and Cat's Inn to launch a crusade against the Six Demon Generals."
"Wait!! Is time going to move forward so far??"
As soon as Lucy on the opposite side spoke, Kira couldn't sit still. I thought you were going to talk about what happened in the future, why are you talking about conquering the 'Six Demon Generals'?
From the first moment he saw this Lucy, Kira knew that she was not the Lucy in his memory who came back from the future when all the dragons destroyed the world, because her right hand was still there, and she did not look very desperate, but just looked a little tired.
Moreover, she was wearing a cloak of invisibility that she had made herself. This treasure was not something that could be lent out casually. Maybe she had something of her own when she came here.
So from the beginning to the end, Kira believed that the Lucy in front of him was the future Lucy who, at the instruction of his future self, used the eclipse to travel to the present because of something that happened in the future.
But now it seems not to be the case, the situation is much more complicated than I thought !
Could it be Lucy from a parallel world? ?
"Yes, I know you are anxious, but don't be anxious yet!"
Lucy in black swallowed the expensive snack in one gulp and said, "I came to this world through the parallel world channel through the solar eclipse. Lucy from another world! You should understand what I mean, right?"
As expected...
Kira was a little disappointed to hear that the other party was not Future Lucy, but he was still quite curious about the so-called parallel world. After all, he had already seen another android of his own.
Then again, Edlas is actually a parallel world, right? After all, there are certain differences between parallel worlds, and the difference between Edlas and Ascalante is the existence of magic.
So in essence, the Lucy in front of us is the same type of person as Mistgan, Disper, and Pellucica.
But this tone of voice... is really my style! Now I am more certain that Lucy's appearance here is related to me!
"Okay, Lucy from the parallel world, why did you come to our world?"
"Listen to me and explain the whole thing from beginning to end, and then you will understand."
Kira laughed inwardly and stretched out his hand as if to invite her: "Begin your speech!"
Black-clad Lucy nodded, sorted out her thoughts, and continued her story: "According to the instructions of the guildmaster, I, Natsu, Happy, Erza, and Gray went to the villa of the guildmaster of 'Blue Pegasus'. After meeting up with the coalition forces, we fought against the 'Six Demon Generals' in the White Forest."
"Although there were some difficult battles during the period, we still defeated them. Then, according to the intelligence, we sent six people to destroy the power source of Nirvana."
"But just when we were about to destroy 'Nirvana', an accident happened!"
Hearing this, Kira quickly reached out his hand: "Wait! Let me interrupt! Didn't Laxus, Ultear, and I show up at that time?"
Lucy in black shook her head and said with regret: "No! As far as I know, you and Laxus went on a mission. As for Ultear, I don't know where she was at that time."
Didn't I participate in this crusade? It seems that there are indeed some things in that world and that time that are different from my world...
Kira remembered that it was himself, Laxus and Ultear who appeared one after another, and then because of the activation of 'Nirvana', conflicts broke out among the 'Six Demon Generals', and he wiped them out in one fell swoop.
"You continue."
"Okay... According to Hibiki of 'Blue Pegasus', the weak point of 'Nirvana' is at the base of the six tentacles, and it can be destroyed by breaking the crystals placed there at the same time. However, when we destroyed these six crystals, not only was 'Nirvana' not destroyed, but it became even stronger and more uncontrollable, which had a huge impact on us!!"
Hearing this, Kira's expression became stunned, and he blinked in confusion: "What did you say?! 'Nirvana' is enhanced?!"
"Yes!"
Lucy in black looked solemn. "Based on what we found out later, it's very likely that someone unknown tampered with it at some point, leading to this result!"
"In short, at that moment, the uncontrollable 'Nirvana' that was far more effective than what was described in the intelligence took effect. All the members of the coalition, including Erza, Natsu, Gray, and even Jura-san and Ichiya-san, fell into darkness without exception. On the contrary, all the 'Six Demon Generals' became good people!"
"I am the only one left, because Hololochim dodged a bullet!"
