Chapter 173 The All-Party Partners' Strengthening Plan
Amidst the Dragon Slayer's repeated calls of "brother" and Talos's repeated calls of "big brother," the simple introduction of a new partner successfully evolved into a sworn brotherhood ceremony between two lecherous buddies.
Moreover, being a cross-species type, Chase and Lucy were incredibly embarrassed as their owners, so they silently sent the two back to their own world.
"Well then, Chess, I'll head back now!"
After a rather pointless chat, seeing that it was getting late, Lucy got up and said hello.
Although there were plenty of empty rooms in Chess's area, it felt strange to stay with Natsu and the others since their own rental house was just across the river.
Moreover, Natsu and Gray's belittling of her earlier had successfully ignited the girl's competitive spirit, and she decided to continue secretly training according to the training guide given by the Dark Magician, and then amaze everyone!
Of course, before that, there is another very important thing to do, which is to write the Fairy Tail civil war that happened today into the adventure novel.
Thinking of this, Lucy glanced at Natsu, who was lying unconscious on the ground, and Happy, who was sharpening his claws everywhere. A bitter feeling welled up in her heart: She had forgotten when she last had private space. It seemed to have started when Chesgo's house was demolished? Or perhaps it was even further back, after the Phantom Menace incident?
Never mind, I have to open a can of fish to celebrate when I get back!
"Lucy, I'll go with you."
Erza suddenly stood up, interrupting Lucy's thoughts and startling her: "Wait, wait, Erza, if I remember correctly, don't you live in Magnolia?"
"To be more precise, it's the girls' dormitory on the mountain in the southeast corner!" Happy answered quickly.
As the only male in the entire guild capable of venturing into that forbidden area, he possessed considerable knowledge in this regard.
"Huh? Girls' dormitory?"
Lucy was a little confused when she first heard the term. "Is it our guild's own dormitory?"
What am I doing renting this house for 7 J?
I guess I'm rich!
"Oh, by the way, the rent for the dorm is 100,000 J per month~" The cunning teacher Happy saw right through Lucy's thoughts.
Lucy's lips twitched, and she suddenly felt that her small rented apartment wasn't so bad after all.
She can only afford a rent of 70,000 J with Chess's help; 100,000 J would be the death of her!
"If you have time, we can take you to visit them. Levy and Rachel's rooms are so much fun, and we can also take a look at Juvia's room, which they just moved into."
"Oh, by the way, the public bath on the second floor is also very nice; the hot spring water is perfect for soaking in this kind of weather!"
Listening to Harby's detailed and detailed introduction, Lucy's eyes lit up, clearly showing her interest: "Really? Then..."
"The tour guide fee is 10,000 J, but I'll give you a 9.5% discount for our partnership."
"Go to hell!" Lucy launched a flying kick in zero frames.
The hobby, who was trying to raise prices on the spot, was held very high and crashed into the ceiling with a thud. Then he slid down the wall and fell softly to the corner with his blue bottom sticking out.
Yes, cats really are mollusks.
"There'll be plenty of time to tour the dorms later, Lucy, let's head back first," Erza said, continuing her previous conversation as if nothing had happened.
"So Erza, you still haven't told me why you insist on coming with me—" Lucy asked, her face full of confusion.
"If I had to give a reason, it was probably just a spur-of-the-moment decision?"
"So casual!"
"Huh? It was indeed a bit too abrupt. I'm very sorry."
"Well, not really. At least it's much safer than sharing a room with Nazhabi!"
And so, Lucy, who is incredibly soft-hearted, took Erza back to her rented apartment.
Not long after the two left, Gray yawned and slowly walked up the stairs to the second floor.
"I'm so sleepy after fighting all day, I'm going to bed now, Chess."
When he passed by Natsu, who was lying on the ground, he did not choose to go around him, but instead ignored him and stepped straight over him.
"These guys really think this place is their own home—"
Watching Gray's figure disappear around the corner of the stairs, Chase sighed heavily.
He naturally wouldn't bother with such a trivial matter, and started cleaning the tea set on the coffee table, then took a comfortable hot shower.
After finishing, he picked up Natsu from the ground and Happy from the corner and casually tossed them onto the sofa.
These two are filthy and smell of sweat; they definitely don't deserve to sleep in the bed—not even in the guest room!
After turning off the lights and returning to the main room on the second floor, lying on the spacious bed, I finally felt truly alive again.
Even he was exhausted after the entire civil war.
Especially during his duel with Laxus, he suffered considerable injuries, and his muscles ached all over.
Fortunately, the matter has finally come to an end, and the biggest conflict within the guild has been perfectly resolved, allowing us to begin preparations...
The All-Staff Team Strengthening Plan!
With this thought in mind, Chess slowly closed his eyes and entered the card space deep within his consciousness.
The sky was filled with stars, dotting the bright moonlight.
In the heart of this desert region, where yellow sand flies, stands a magnificent palace that exudes the style of ancient Egypt.
This is the domain of the Dark Magician.
Chase stepped into the hall, where he saw a black mage in a black robe standing on a stone slab with his arms crossed in the spacious hall. In front of him was a screen displaying a magical image composed of dozens of images.
The video above is playing repeatedly, showing the guild members' battles as filmed by the Kuribohs, in great detail.
The dark magic girl who had been pulled over to assist sat at the worktable, her fair and lovely face adorned with light blue glasses engraved with tiny magic circles.
It was a magical artifact similar to the glasses of the Wind Chant, capable of capturing multiple image information simultaneously.
The light blue glasses paired with the pink robe gave the seemingly naive and silly girl a touch of maturity and sophistication.
"Oh! Master, you're here!"
The dark magician girl sensed Chess's presence and immediately sprang from her seat, hopping and skipping over.
She had been waiting for this opportunity to "slack off" for far too long, having been immersed in her monotonous work!
"Yeah, I just remembered and came to take a look."
Chess nodded and slowly walked towards the workbench.
"We basically have a general direction for development, but it may take some time to arrive at a complete plan," the Dark Mage said in a deep voice.
If it were just one or two people, it would be fine, but since it involves all the core members of the guild, even someone as skilled in magic would have to put in a lot of effort.
"You've worked hard." Chase naturally knew how much work this involved.
"It's fine, I'm just killing time anyway." The Dark Mage raised his deep eyes and looked at the various battles on the screen.
Upon hearing this, the dark mage girl following behind Chess pursed her lips and muttered to herself: I'm not free, am I?
I still want to go out and play with Mila...
Although she didn't make a sound, the dark mage still caught her little thought and looked at her sideways with a serious and focused gaze.
"Moreover, this practical data is also very beneficial for our research on the composition and operating principles of magic in different worlds. After all, the path of magic requires learning from the strengths of many schools to improve, thereby forging our own path and exploring and touching the unreachable end of the abyss. This—"
The first sentence was addressed to Chase, but the long speech that followed was entirely directed at her apprentice, Dark Magician Girl.
Seeing that they had no burden or pressure, Chess felt relieved and quietly left the deck space.
He knew the Dark Magician's personality all too well. When there were many people around, this guy would cross his arms and act aloof, but once it came to matters of magic, he would talk on and on.
If I stay here any longer, my ears will definitely get calluses!
The Dark Magician Girl stared longingly at him as he disappeared, standing there on the verge of tears.
