Chapter 96
The old man was very angry.
"!!! What on earth is going on? My commission should have been to destroy it." Kirby looked at the book Lucy handed him and said puzzledly.
"It's easy to destroy this book. Mr. Kirby can do it." Lucy said calmly, but he had guessed Kirby's reaction.
"In that case, I'll burn it. I don't even want to read this kind of book." Seeing this, Kirby simply took it.
Lucy then said, "I know why you can't tolerate the existence of this book."
"!!!" Kirby turned his head and stared at Lucy.
Lucy continued, "It's to protect your father's dignity. You are the son of Kaim Sareo."
"Oh!" Natsu looked surprised.
"Son?" Happy's eyes widened.
"Why... why do you know..." Kirby asked his confusion tremblingly.
Lucy did not answer, but asked: "Have you read this book?"
"No, I just heard it from my father, I haven't read it." Kirby replied, but he changed his words: "But there is no need, it's a bad work, my father said so."
"So you want to burn it?" Natsu asked.
"Yes." Kirby nodded.
Hearing Kirby's undisguised words, Natsu was instantly furious and asked loudly: "Burn it because you are bored, it's too much, that's your father's book!"
Lucy tried to hold Natsu and persuaded him: "Natsu, didn't I say that he was doing it to maintain his dignity!"
"Yes, my father is ashamed of writing "Sunrise"! At that time... "Kabby finally spoke out his memory that had been sealed for many years.
In the 31st year, Kabby's father was captured by Abar and imprisoned for three years. After he came back from writing Sunrise, he was so emotional that even Kabby couldn't stop him. He picked up a knife and cut off his arm that he had used to write books for many years. Kabby was frightened by this scene at the time and immediately sent him to the hospital for treatment.
And Kabby didn't understand why his father did that, and his father didn't tell him the reason, so he was resentful and couldn't ask properly. Unfortunately, his father committed suicide later.
"However, as time passed, hatred turned into regret. If I hadn't said that, my father might not have died." Kabby recalled the angry words he said at the time, and his heart was tormented.
"So, in order to make compensation, I decided to make this bad work disappear from the world completely in order to protect my father's reputation." Kabby said, took out a box of matches, took out a match from it, gently struck it, and then prepared to light the book.
Lucy saw this and hurriedly stopped him: "Wait a minute! "
As Lucy finished speaking, the Sunrise in Kirby's hand also emitted a dazzling light, and everyone present was shocked by this scene.
Kirby also seemed a little panicked, and the Sunrise flew up in his hand, and then he saw the words on the cover flying up.
"Keim Sareo, no, his real name, "Renqua Menlo", he cast a magic on this book."
"Magic...magic?" While Kirby was surprised, the cover text of Sunrise was rearranged, and finally showed its real title - Dear Kirby.
At the same time, the words in the book also flew out, reshuffled, and danced in the air.
"The reason why he is not a writer, in addition to writing the worst work, may also be because he wrote the best book."
"Amazing!"
"The words are dancing!"
Natsu and Happy touched the words in the air, with uncontrollable excitement on their faces, and both exclaimed.
"This is the letter to Mr. Kirby, this best work! "
【I always think of you!】
Kirby recalled the words his father always said. At this time, Sunrise finally stopped the magic, took back all the words, and then slowly fell into Kirby's hands.
Kirby opened the book inside and looked at the words written by his father. His eyes gradually moistened. He gently stroked it and murmured, "Father!"
"Thank you, it's great that you didn't burn this book!" Kirby thanked Lucy with tears in his eyes.
Lucy smiled at Kirby and felt that she could truly understand her father.
Just as Lucy was secretly sighing, Natsu touched his head and said with a smile: "Then we don't want any reward either."
"Yes!" Happy also agreed.
"What?" Lucy and Kirby both acted as if they didn't understand.
"The content of the commission is to destroy it, and we don't have
It has been reached." Natsu said as a matter of course.
"No, but, how can that be?" Kirby said embarrassedly, and his wife nodded.
"No... That's right, it's rare that someone is so kind, let's accept it!"
"Ah? Lucy is so cunning! She just said it very nicely, but now she doesn't admit it." Happy said sarcastically.
"These are two different things!" Lucy still couldn't accept it, especially the tone of Happy's words.
"If I say no, then no!" Natsu laughed twice, with a firm attitude.
There was no way, seeing Natsu like this, he had already made up his mind, she burst into tears, and 2 million was gone in front of her eyes.
After Natsu finished speaking, he and Happy were ready to leave, but he turned his back to Kirby and said, "Go home, Menlo, you should go back to your home as soon as possible!"
After hearing this, Kirby and his wife were shocked and speechless.
Lucy was also confused: "Huh? ", and then followed Natsu's pace.
On the way back, Lucy finally understood that the house was just borrowed by Mr. Kirby from a friend for face. After all, he could afford such a high reward, and no one would believe that the house was dilapidated.
However, Mr. Kaim is actually a very remarkable wizard. After thirty years, the magic has not disappeared. This requires considerable magic power.
And, fortunately, she has also written some novels and learned about some related magic, otherwise, it is not necessarily possible to see it.
[Mr. Kaim seems to have been in the Wizard Guild when he was young, and he also wrote many adventure stories in the guild into novels. It's great!]
Just when Lucy was looking forward to it, Natsu looked at her with a strange smile: "As expected."
"Huh?" Lucy felt the sight, came back to her senses and stared at him.
"The thing you hid before is the novel you wrote yourself!"
"No wonder you know so much about books." Happy suddenly realized.
"Hey! "Lucy's face flushed, she covered her face with her hands, and suddenly felt her head getting hot.
Lucy hurriedly said, "Never...never tell anyone!"
"Why?"
"Because...I'm still a bad writer! It would be embarrassing if someone saw it!"
"No...no one would want to see it."
"If that's the case, it would be sad!" Lucy cried, not daring to imagine.
After spending a night in the wild, several people passed by a forest on their way back.
"Wait, you two, is this really the road? That's what she said." Hololochim said so.
Natsu walked in front, and Happy lay on his head to tell him the way. Several people walked in the mud, and Natsu said, "If Happy says it's this way, then it's this way, just tell her that."
"It's very rude, after all, I'm a cat, and cats have very sensitive noses. "Happy pouted.
"You should be talking about dogs, and what does a sensitive nose have to do with finding the way? That's what she said. "
"Can't you just walk down by yourself?" Natsu complained.
"I'm almost exhausted, that's what she said. "
While Natsu was talking, he suddenly noticed some movement in the grass next to him, and there was a familiar smell, so he left his luggage and Happy and got in without hesitation.
After a fight, Natsu and another figure jumped into the air, and Lucy and Happy saw his appearance clearly.
"It's Gray!"
"Why are you only wearing underwear? That's what she said. "
"I'm looking for a toilet." Gray replied, but his eyes were fixed on Natsu.
"You haven't found the toilet yet, why are you taking off your pants first? Besides, where can you find a toilet in this forest? "Natsu tilted his head, and a burst of anger rose up as he spoke.
"I was going to ask you, why did you bother me to go to the toilet for no reason?" Gray also looked at him with squinted eyes.
"Walking underwear!"
"Hanging eyes!"
The two quarreled over a disagreement. After calming down, Gray was also ready to go back. Going back to Magnolia, passing through this forest was the fastest shortcut.
"Stop talking nonsense, go back by yourself quickly." Natsu held his head with both hands and urged.
"You don't need to say this, if you don't go back quickly, things will be serious." Gray stood up and looked in the direction of Magnolia.
"What's the matter?" Lucy asked.
"BOSS Erza is coming back!"
