Chapter 373 Erza's Resolve, Armor of Temptation
After helping everyone activate their second spell, Ultear and the other two politely declined Chess's offer to treat them to a meal. They turned and left in the bleak, cold wind, quickly disappearing into the depths of the vast forest.
At this time, they were still the most wanted targets of the Council. Staying in Magnolia for too long would only bring unnecessary trouble to Fairy Tail. In addition, they needed to scout out the capital of Fiore, Crocus, in advance.
Erza chatted with Jellal in the future for a bit, and was happy that he was able to get back on the right track.
Well, that's all.
"What are you thinking about?" Chase walked over slowly, holding a stack of cards in his hand.
There were too many people who couldn't move, so he simply packed them all up and sent them back to the guild later.
To be honest, this space-based card magic, which isn't too difficult to learn, can be really useful sometimes!
"It's nothing."
Erza withdrew her gaze from the distant Magnolia and raised her hand to tidy her long, crimson hair, which had been slightly disheveled by the wind.
"I suddenly miss Simon and Miliana. I wonder how they're doing now."
Seeing Gerald reminded her of her companions from the Tower of Paradise in the Sun, especially after learning that Simon of this world had died.
"Don't worry, with their abilities, they definitely won't do too badly."
Chase smiled and comforted him, "Who knows, you might just run into them by accident?"
Hugh and Wally in this world should still be on their journey, but they will meet Miliana, who has joined the Mermaids, in a few days.
"That's true."
Erza's tightly furrowed brows slowly relaxed. She turned around and looked at Chase with her beautiful eyes. "Thank you so much, Chase."
They are all very important partners, and she is happy that she still has the opportunity to look forward to seeing Simon again.
"Instead of thanking me or anything, I think you need a hug from your boyfriend right now."
"A passionate hug between two men?!"
Erza's face instantly turned bright red, but before she could react, her vision was plunged into darkness.
Chase knew this guy's personality all too well, so he was just informing him, not asking for anything.
"When Erza isn't wearing her armor, her body isn't much different from that of an ordinary girl; she's delicate and frail," Chase remarked, putting his arm around her back.
Through the close contact of chests, you can clearly feel the other person's rapid heartbeat and the billowing heat emanating from who-knows-where.
Although the Fairy Queen, who has been through countless battles, is certainly not weak, she can indeed be called a "weak woman" compared to his well-defined muscles.
I wonder how these "melee female mages" in Fairy Tail maintain their youthful appearance.
Erza, who had been looking flustered and helpless, suddenly quieted down after hearing what he said.
"For example, if Chase likes it, I... I'll try wearing some nicer clothes!"
She closed her eyes and rested her head on Chase's shoulder, savoring the sense of security she felt.
The vulnerability and cowardice that I once needed to hide behind armor have now completely disappeared.
The strong-willed fairy queen felt happy to be able to rely on someone so wholeheartedly—her boyfriend, who would definitely be her husband in the future.
"Even better-looking clothes... let me think... do you mean something like the Armor of Temptation?"
Mira's sudden voice threw Erza into a state of utter panic once again.
"How...how...how could that be! Even if it's your boyfriend's armor, you have to consider the occasion. I'm not Lucy!!"
The two Lucy figures pressed tightly against the card, eavesdropping and peeking: "Hey! What do you mean 'not a Wasashi'?!" x2
If it weren't for their limited vocabulary, one could really say that prejudice in people's hearts is like a mountain.
"The Armor of Temptation, huh? I'm quite curious about that," Chess said with a smile.
The cunning Mira chimed in, "This is definitely armor that Chess will never forget after just one look! Erza, hurry up and change into it!"
Rather than being jealous, she was clearly more pleased to see her old rival and love rival Erza in a sorry state.
"You two—fine! I, I'm not afraid of you! Look then!"
Erza's face flushed red, and she inexplicably became serious, then put her plan into action with super efficiency, her body radiating magical light.
"Huh? You're serious?" Mira was surprised, never expecting Erza to be so brave.
Chase immediately blocked Lucy and the others in the cards from perceiving the outside world.
"Changing outfit! Armor of Temptation!!"
Erza didn't know how she eventually got back to the guild.
Mira sat at the bar with her future self, chatting animatedly, her smile never fading.
For a die-hard card player, this is perfect.
The other members lay sprawled out in various corners of the guild, the backlash from activating the second magic source leaving them too weak to even speak.
"Honestly, Chesgo is so stingy!"
In the future, Lucy will be unhappy because she didn't get to see any really interesting scenes.
After hearing about Chase's various experiences, Lucy felt a strange sense of kinship and started calling him "brother" as well.
"Love, Lucy, we think you should thank Chess."
Happy flew down from the sky and said in an extremely serious tone, "If you really see Erza like that, you might suddenly die one day by her sword~"
Upon hearing this, Future Lucy subconsciously imagined that scene.
In an instant, his expression changed drastically. He stood up abruptly and bowed ninety degrees in gratitude toward Chase's direction.
There, Chase was drinking with Gildarts.
"I see. That explains why you all suddenly disappeared."
Gildarts breathed a sigh of relief and looked away from his two beloved daughters, whose faces were contorted with pain.
"I'm so sorry, Uncle Gildarts, I completely forgot about you," Chase said apologetically.
When I took my friends to find Ultear, Gildarts was still wandering around the back mountain and hadn't returned yet.
"Haha, I don't really care, as long as Kana and the others can become stronger." Gildarts waved his hand casually.
"That's true. After all, you're getting on in years, and it's hard to say whether you even have a second source of magic left," Chess said with a smile.
Although it's mostly a joke or a mockery, it's not impossible.
After all, Ultear also said that the core of the second magic source is to stimulate the power hidden in the body.
Moreover, it's unlikely that we can go back now. Gildarts is powerful enough and has the super magic "Heart," so there's no need to rush.
We can only wait until the Grand Magic Games are over, or go back to our original world and ask Ultear for help—we've already obtained the relevant theoretical knowledge about the second magic source.
"You brat! I knew it! Why did you suddenly become so polite!" Gildarts's lips twitched, feeling deeply offended.
As for being old, he's far from being a decrepit old man like the chairman!
At that moment, the two Makarovs who were in the office staring at the photos of beautiful women and commenting on their figures sneezed simultaneously.
