Chapter 717: Look at you all, you have corrupted Wendy!
At midnight, the moon is dim and the stars are sparse.
There was a lot of cold dew on the top of the mountain, and the cold wind blew on the thinly dressed Wendy, making the girl shiver.
Wendy looked at her grown-up self beside her, her eyes unconsciously falling on her revealing clothes. After staring at them for a long time, her little face gradually turned red.
Such a bold outfit was simply not something that an ordinary, young and petite loli like her could pull off. She had never thought that one day she would wear such clothes with a strong Western Continent style.
"I feel like you and I are not very similar..."
"Of course. There is a seven-year age gap between us. Isn't it normal for personality to change?"
Wendy No. 5 gently patted Wendy's head like a caring sister, "But then again, it's only happened in the past year."
"If it weren't for that incident, I would probably still be about the same as you now."
Wendy suddenly felt that her palm was very warm and the gaze was very gentle. The feeling was just like when Mira, Erza and the others touched her head.
In a trance, she saw the figures of everyone in the guild from the other party's actions.
Wendy did not ask about the battle situation in World 5, because from their previous conversation, she could feel that the other party was deliberately avoiding this topic, especially when she mentioned "Fairy Tail", she saw a trace of heartbreaking sadness flash across the other party's eyes.
At that moment, Wendy understood that even if the Fairy Tail in World 5 did not suffer heavy losses, it must have suffered a lot of casualties.
Presumably, it wasn't just him, but the companions in that world were also having trouble getting over the grief brought about by the casualties. Thinking of this, Wendy decided that she should not mention those things anymore.
"I should almost go back!"
"Everyone must be worried sick after disappearing for so long!!"
After enjoying the head patting for a while, Wendy finally remembered that everyone in the guild was still waiting for her. The fact was just as she guessed, now Zhen Gege and the people from Fairy Tail were looking for someone all over the city.
And because Wendy No. 5 had previously taken her away using a magic similar to space transfer, even a nose like Natsu's couldn't track her by smell.
"I still have to find a suitable excuse to deal with everyone!"
…
When Wendy was sent back to the streets of Kulokas, it was already past 12 o'clock.
On the way back to the inn, she was soon found by her guild mates who were looking for her everywhere, and was taken back to the tavern surrounded by a group of older brothers, sisters and uncles. After Makarov confirmed that the little girl was not injured, everyone felt relieved and asked Volian to withdraw the men with telepathy. The quarrel lasted for nearly an hour.
"She actually tried to put us off by saying 'I met someone I know, so I found a place to chat'. I don't know what she was thinking. Did she think we were all idiots like Nazihabi?
Yes, Wendy found such a weird excuse to deal with the questions of everyone in the guild.
It's ridiculous, but no one questions it.
After she said goodbye to everyone and got up to return to the room, Kira finally expressed the complaint that she had been holding back for a long time to Makarov and Erza and the others around her.
"Wendy must have her own reasons for hiding it. Since she assured me that she's fine and we just confirmed that she's not injured, I think it's best for us to respect her privacy."
At this moment, Erza seemed to have taken Mira's script, acting like a considerate and caring elder sister.
"I think you are almost corrupting her!"
Kira took a sip of late-night iced milk, then changed the subject and began to point fingers at Natsu and the others: "When she first came to the guild, she was so innocent and cute, as pure as a blank sheet of paper! And now, she has tattoos, lies, fights, and stays out all night... If she keeps going like this, she's going to become a bad girl!"
"The ethos of our guild... really needs to change!"
"President! When will you step down and let others take over?"
The "Xian" here specifically refers to "sage", which is also his nickname.
This nagging look is just like that of a middle-aged uncle who sees his adolescent daughter showing signs of . Even middle-aged uncles with real children like Makao and elderly people like Makarov feel inferior to him.
Everyone rolled their eyes at Kira.
This guy... he is clearly the biggest bad influence in the guild, yet he barks again? ! If they couldn't beat him, who among you would let him be so arrogant?
However, there is indeed one person here who is qualified to stand up even if he cannot be defeated, and that is Makarov.
Makarov put down his wine glass, glanced at Kira who was drinking milk and pretending to be drunk, and snorted coldly under the influence of alcohol: "Asshole, do you have any opinion on the guild's emblem?!"
I still remember that when Kira first joined Fairy Tail, he was very resistant to the fact that he had to carve the guild emblem on his body. It took him more than a month to calm down.
"No...no..." Kira said embarrassedly and made a gesture of surrender.
The president had personally joined the conversation, so how could he dare to continue joking? If the old man couldn't come back in one breath, or his blood pressure soared late at night, he would be guilty of a great crime.
But Kira underestimated Makarov's persistence in this regard.
"What wizard doesn't fight?"
"Isn't it normal to lie? Who hasn't lied?"
"Stay out all night? Isn't it less than 2 o'clock? When I was that age, I played outside every day until dawn before going home! Besides, Wendy has grown up..."
Makarov perfectly demonstrated to Kira what it meant to say four things for every one he said, and his tongue became tied by the end. It was obvious that Makarov had drunk a little too much tonight.
However, Kira could see that he was unhappy not because Wendy suddenly disappeared and the guild was at a loss, but because he was worried about his rebellious son and the possible crisis of the dark guild in the future.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but sigh softly: When people get old, they tend to think too much..."
…
The fifth day of the Great Demon Fighting Martial Arts Show ushered in the 11-on-11 pinnacle event. Coupled with the gimmick of free admission for three consecutive days announced yesterday, the number of spectators today has increased several times compared to the previous few days.
Early in the morning, people waiting to watch the game entered the venue in an endless stream. By nine o'clock, the venue was already crowded with people and the cheers were deafening.
“There are so many people…”
“How many people didn’t get tickets a few days ago?!”
Seeing the grand scene in the venue, the audience who have been watching the game in the past few days were shocked, because the flow of people today alone was more than the previous four days combined! !
More than 50,000 spectators poured into the venue today, and there was not even enough room to walk. It took a lot of effort for everyone to just enter the venue. By the time they finally arrived at the dedicated position of "Fairy Tail", they were already sweating and in a mess, and there were less than 10 minutes left before the game started.
However, this is only the situation for people like Makarov. It is not the case for people like Kira who are about to compete.
The two teams competing today, with a total of 22 wizards, have a special entrance and exit channel that can directly lead to the waiting area prepared for the contestants at the venue.
"Could it be that all the people from Kurokas are here to watch the game? Don't these people have to work?"
Even if half of them are outsiders, there are roughly 25,000 local residents in the venue at this time. You have to know that this is the capital of the Kingdom of Fiore. With such a large number, won't it cause Kurokas to be paralyzed?
It seems that the living conditions of residents in the capital are much better than I thought!
I must buy a few houses here in the future! I want luxurious villas!
Kira made up his mind secretly.
Soon he narrowed his eyes again and focused his attention somewhere: Or I can...
Forget it, forget it. Don’t think of such a treasonous thing! You can’t imitate yourself in other worlds just because you have achieved success. What would you become? Just a poor imitator!
This kind of thing is detrimental to one’s spiritual practice!
