Chapter 92
The old man was very happy.
"Is this the Hilo store?"
"I will never ride a carriage again..." Natsu was still in shock, sweating, and he still hadn't recovered.
"You always say that." Happy said calmly.
"Anyway, I'm hungry, let's go eat!" Natsu covered his stomach, he was already protesting.
"Where's the hotel? Let's put down the luggage first." Happy and Natsu walked side by side.
"I don't feel hungry... Can't you eat your own fire?" Lucy said that she was not hungry, and then asked.
"Stop talking nonsense. Would you eat your own Pulu or cow?"
"How could I eat them!"
"It's the same reason."
"Is... is that so?" Lucy's face was sweating, and then she spread her hands and said, "To put it simply, you can't eat your own fire, right? It's really troublesome."
"Oh, by the way, I'll go see the city, you two go eat." Lucy waved her hand and walked away.
"What... it's more fun to eat together." Natsu looked at her back and murmured.
"Hey."
After finding the hotel, Natsu put his luggage in the room and found an open-air restaurant to eat. People within a few hundred meters could see the two of them eating.
Of course, Lucy saw it too. She walked out of the clothing store and walked towards the location of Natsu and Happy. When she got closer, she heard the two talking about themselves.
"Leave the fat part to Lucy." Natsu put the meat into his mouth with his left hand, and put a leg with a lot of fat on the plate with his right hand.
"She seems to like eating fatty meat." Happy also said.
"When did I like eating fatty meat?" Lucy couldn't listen anymore and asked back.
"Oh, Lu..." Natsu and Happy turned their heads and looked over when they heard Lucy's voice, and were suddenly shocked.
"... Xi?" Natsu completed the rest of his words.
"As a result... I look good in anything." Lucy ignored it. At this time, Lucy was wearing a maid outfit and was intoxicated by her own charm.
Natsu and Happy's eyes widened, staring at her with their mouths wide open, and then the food in their mouths fell out.
"Have you finished your meal, Master?" Lucy stroked her lips with one hand and pinched her waist with the other hand. With a sweet smile, she blinked at Natsu and Happy.
The two of them were stunned in place, looking at Lucy's appearance stupidly.
"If you haven't, please enjoy it slowly. Uh-huh" Lucy said with her hands clasped together and her body twisted.
"What should we do? We were just joking, but she took the maid battle seriously!" Habib stretched out his hand in front of him in a panic, and said to Natsu sideways.
"It can't be called a joke now, just... leave it like this." Natsu also said hurriedly with cold sweat.
The two sat close together and covered their mouths with their hands, but the sound of talking could still be heard.
Lucy felt that she was a little self-indulgent, and gritted her teeth and said: "I heard it!"
After dinner, Lucy followed Natsu to a gorgeous house.
"Wow, this magnificent mansion, this is the Duke of Ebar..." Lucy raised her head and looked up at the full view of the mansion.
"No, this is the client's home." Natsu interrupted Lucy and corrected her.
"Yes, it's the person who offered 200,000 J for a book, of course he is a rich man." Lucy also reacted and said as a matter of course.
"Knock! Knock!" Natsu stepped forward and knocked on the door.
After a while, a man's voice came from inside: "Who is it?"
"I am a fairy from the Wizard Guild..." Natsu was interrupted before he could finish.
"Shh! Quiet!" The man inside said hurriedly, as if he was deliberately hiding something.
Natsu was also confused by this voice, but soon another man's voice came from the house.
"Excuse me, can you please come in through the back door?" There was a hint of pleading in the man's voice.
Natsu and Lucy looked at each other, although they were a little confused, but they still walked towards the back door of the house. A man was waiting for them there. Natsu introduced himself again as a wizard of Fairy Tail.
After hearing this, the man invited them into the living room and asked them to sit down. At this time, a woman came over with two cups of hot tea and put them on the table.
"It was very rude just now. I am the client - Kirby Menlo." The man stood up and said to
They apologized, and then introduced his wife to Natsu and the others.
Natsu leaned on the sofa, and heard Kirby's introduction, and laughed: "It sounds delicious."
"MELON!" Happy also raised his hand and cheered.
"Hey! You are so rude!" Lucy said helplessly to the two.
"Ahaha! People often say this!" Kirby didn't care about it, he was used to it.
But Lucy couldn't listen at this time. She had a sense of familiarity with the name Menlo and the city, but she couldn't remember it until now.
"I didn't expect the famous Fairy Tail wizard to be willing to take this job." Kirby's tone revealed awe and admiration for Fairy Tail.
"Really? I was still wondering, such a lucrative job would stay until now." Natsu heard Kirby's evaluation of Fairy Tail and chatted with him with a smile on his face.
[The content of the work does not match the pay, everyone must be wary. 】 Lucy took it seriously.
"And he's still so young, he must be a famous wizard, right?" Kirby said flatteringly.
"Natsu is called "Fire Dragon." Happy said proudly, and finally knew about this title.
"Oh! I've heard of this name. So, what about this one?" Kirby immediately thought of the title of Fire Dragon, which seemed to appear frequently in newspapers and was very famous, but then his eyes were on Lucy who was sitting next to him.
"I'm also a wizard of Fairy Tail!" Lucy said hurriedly.
"Then is this outfit a hobby? No, no... It doesn't matter." Kirby was silent for a moment after hearing Lucy's words, and then realized that he was a little rude and asked, but halfway through he realized that it was not very polite, so he immediately showed respect.
At this time, Lucy was still wearing a maid outfit, so after being misunderstood by Kirby, she said in a depressed mood: "I want to go back a little bit."
"Let's talk about work." Kirby said seriously.
"Okay."
"Hey. "
Natsu and Happy could no longer hold back.
"There is only one thing I want to commission. Tear up and burn the only book in the world, "Sunrise", owned by Duke Ebar." Kirby told him the full content of the commission.
"Don't you want to steal it?" Natsu was a little confused. He had read on the commission that he wanted to steal the book.
"Actually... because you can't damage other people's property... it's the same as stealing..." Kirby explained. After all, there are restrictions on issuing commissions.
"It's really shocking. When I heard about this task, I thought it was to get back the stolen book or something." Lucy was also confused and felt very strange about the purpose of this commission.
But Natsu felt very relaxed about it and laughed loudly: "Burn it? In that case, let's burn the house together!"
"Too easy!" Happy said happily.
"No-no! You will definitely go to jail if you do that. "Lucy looked horrified and immediately stopped this stupid idea.
Then she asked Kirby: "What is that book...?"
"..."Kirby fell into deep thought.
"It doesn't matter what it is, right? There are 200,000, 200,000." Natsu said excitedly to Lucy.
"No... I will pay 2 million J. The reward for success is 2 million J." Kirby's face was solemn.
"Two?"
"Hundred?"
"Ten thousand?"
Lucy, Natsu and Happy were all in self-doubt, and their expression management was out of control. They opened their mouths wide, as if they were struck by lightning.
"What is that?!"
"Oh my, don't you know that the reward increase is coming?"
"2 million? Wait, if it is divided into three equal parts... Uh-oh, it can't be calculated! "Natsu stretched out his fingers, made three gestures, and then moved them back and forth, almost stunned.
"It's very simple, 1 million for me, 1 million for Natsu, and the rest is Lucy's!" Happy trembled and said quickly with excitement.
"Happy! You are so smart!" Natsu also praised.
"Nothing is left!" Lucy said angrily.
"Okay, everyone calm down." Kirby saw them like this and comforted them.
"Why... why did it suddenly increase to... 2 million?" Lucy asked.
Kirby lowered his head, his face gloomy: "Even if I have to pay so much, I still want to destroy the book. I can't allow the book to exist."
Before Lucy continued to ask, Natsu beside him was so excited that his whole body was on fire, grabbing Lucy's wrist: "Let's go, Lucy! I'm burning!"
"
Wait...wait a minute." Lucy staggered, but it didn't stop Natsu from getting excited.
[What's the matter with the book that is not allowed to exist?]
