"Brother, do you want Master Irene's figure?"
Kira has always felt that selling something at any time is what a qualified businessman should do, instead of selling something useless at an inappropriate time or place, and then call it "skill" .
Could selling shampoo and combs to Jura be regarded as a qualified businessman?This is not a joke!
Now that the heat of "Irene's Return" is still lingering in the hearts of the people around, it is the best time to sell "Irene's Peripherals". Kira has been preparing for this big sale for a long time and has made many small things.
"Don't miss it when you pass by! This is Lady Irene's surroundings. In addition to figures and paintings, I also have postcards, umbrellas, fans, handbags, clothes, mugs, instant noodles..."
"This is amazing, a magic wand of the same style as Lord Irene! The size can be customized!"
"Haha... How could it be comparable to the one in Lord Irene's hand? It's just the same in appearance! But mine is a magic tool, which contains several kinds of magic, and even ordinary people can release it."
"How about it, isn't it cool? It will allow you to cast magic with a wave of a magic wand just like Lord Irene!"
"What?! You have to wait...don't stop talking! You are blaspheming Lord Irene! I am a decent person, so I don't sell this kind of thing!"
After half a day, Kira tidied up the booth contentedly: "I didn't expect this business to be so popular! It seems that Irene is very popular among these citizens..."
"I originally thought she had the kind of personality that tended to destroy the world, but now it seems that there is no room for negotiation in her subsequent actions."
Kira was talking to himself while counting today's harvest, preparing to return to the hotel.
Halfway through, Irene blocked the way.
"Business is doing well, kid!"
-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------
Is this the legend that if you walk halfway, there will be disasters?
Kira stared at the slender figure blocking his way in front of him, and secretly cursed in his heart: No way, could it be that it's time for me to leave the stage?
impossible!Absolutely impossible!
I'm the protagonist... No, let's do it all over again.
I'm a wizard from 'Fairy Tail'! !
"Thanks to you, Lord Irene!"
Kira bowed his head respectfully and continued to play an ordinary traveling businessman.
As a mage with a flexible bottom line, facing a person who is stronger than himself and does not know the enemy, his bones are weak... Ah no, it is not a big problem to have a better attitude.
What's more, this is Ersha's mother in front of me, and he and Ersha are as close as brothers and sisters, so he can be regarded as his half mother. What's the point of a son bowing his head to his mother?
Even if Erza's kinship is not counted, the other party is also his elder and senior, and Kira's reputation of respecting the old and loving the young is very famous in Magnolia!
Besides, this is someone else's territory, and relying on the other party's reputation to do business on her territory, without paying taxes or paying fees to the parties, just as a courtesy, which is already very favorable.
Make money, not shabby.
Kira can pat Erin's chest to assure that the salute is only to avoid taxes and other related expenses, and it is definitely not because of fear of being beaten!
"I haven't seen you here, where are you from?"
Irene's voice was very clear, and she spoke with a touch of grace, looking at Kira with a look of scrutiny, and an inviolable dignity that almost made him unable to hold the secret in his heart.
"Master Irene, I am a traveling merchant from Ishgar!"
Kira guessed that the other party's temperament should be the result of the combination of "previous queen experience" and "current shield status".
"Ishgar is here..."
Irene's bright eyes flickered, she stared at Kira with interest, and sneered slightly, obviously not believing his clumsy lie: "Can the traveling merchant have such strong magic power?"
Who do you look down on? !Look down on the Traveling Merchant or what?You are blatant professional discrimination!
Is this what you should say in your capacity?You are one of the double walls of the empire, a representative of female wizards, and a public figure!Such an attitude and such a statement are unacceptable!
In the future, don't say such words that have a negative impact on the empire!That's what I heard, but if you leak a single word, your image will be completely ruined!
Kira complained wildly in his heart, but his face remained unchanged, and he still argued calmly: "As a traveling businessman, it's reasonable to learn some magic and perform juggling, right?"
"..."
Irene didn't expect that the other party would pretend to be suspicious even though she had exposed the other party's identity, and she couldn't help admiring her in her heart: He is talented and thick-skinned, this brat is a talent!
Smelly brat, you want to act, right?My wife will play with you!
"Then what magic do you know?"
I won't be sleepy if you mention this!
Kira's face was filled with joy, and that kind of excited expression really looked like a traveling businessman who had learned a little magic, and was taken a fancy to by the elders of the magic world.
"That's a lot! I can play the flute to control snakes, juggle flames, grow watermelons on vine trellises, sow beans into soldiers, drive house spirits, and restore the vitality of flowers..."
What Kira said were all the tricks that the traveling merchants had gotten tired of playing many years ago, but Irene listened very seriously, and even came up with a way to realize these methods in her mind with a speed beyond the familiarity of ordinary people. Best magic.
Beast-following magic, sound magic, fire magic, space magic, illusion magic, summoning magic, plant magic...
Of course, Irene would not recklessly think that Kira really thought about these magics for herself, she just wanted to use this to figure out what kind of magic Kira used.
From the very beginning, she felt that the magic power of this red-haired kid was very special.
Kira talked more and more, and there was no repetition for 5 minutes. Even if Irene Bowen memorizes, is proficient in tens of thousands of magics, and can skillfully use high-level additional magic, she can't help being a little dazed at the moment.
This is the first time she has seen a magician who can speak so well. Could it be that he speaks manga?Or did you really work as a traveling merchant?
"Enough! Brat, what's your name?"
"My name is Kira! Kira Hopelett!"
Irene nodded and said softly, "Kira, do you want to work under my command?"
Um? ?
Did the olive branch come so quickly?It takes no effort at all!
Kira is appropriately agitated and exhilarated, and tongue-tied as a result: "You...are you telling the truth? Can I come under your wing and do something?"
This kid is still playing with me!
Irene sneered in her heart, but on her face she smiled softly and generously: "Of course!"
Kira brewed for half a second, and burst into tears of joy: "But... why? I'm just an ordinary traveling businessman, how can He De..."
"I see that you are very talented in magic! And you always feel that we are destined! Look, our hair is red!"
Kira immediately burst into tears of gratitude, and bowed at 45 degrees: "Kira has been wandering for half his life, and only regrets that he has not met Mingmu. If Lord Irene does not give up, Kira is willing to worship as a foster mother!"
"..."
Irene frowned, realizing something was wrong: What's the matter with this brat?The statement is so strange, I always feel that he has bad intentions...
"It's fine for the stepmother..."
"Mother-in-law can do it too!"
Irene's breathing was stagnant, and it took a long time before she said "difficultly": "I... don't have a daughter."
no daughter?Poor Erza...
Kira crazily complained in her heart: You can't pick a few in the whole world with your perfect figure of "the green shirt can't cover you, you want to look far away, and you wipe it frequently, only the fragrance remains the same". An experienced man will know that you must have given birth once at a glance!This kind of words can't even fool other people, how can it fool yourself, a reader who has read the manga dozens of times?
So Kiramen didn't change his face, and continued to throw out the next choice: "Then... teacher?"
It's almost there!
Irene nodded in her heart, although she knew that the person in front of her was suspicious, but according to their age and talents, it was still possible to be a master and apprentice, but she still said a little unhappily: "Do I look old? "
Kira was overjoyed, and immediately climbed up the pole: "Sister! From now on, we will be half-siblings!"
Erin: "..."
I shouldn't have been stubborn about that sentence just now!
This red-haired kid has a thick skin, I really didn't miss it!
"You're really good at building relationships..."
"Traveling merchant, rely on this face!"
"Come with me!"
Erin turned and left, and Kira immediately followed.
Diving into the battle, success!
Irene is not an idiot, of course she doesn't believe Kira's identity at all, the reason for doing this is naturally her consideration: a mage whose magic power is only under her own and Olgast's, suddenly sneaked into her territory, and she How could he be allowed to move freely?Be sure to keep it with you at all times!
Of course she can choose to fight Kira directly, but she knows neither Kira's purpose nor Kira's character.
If Kira is a villain, relying on his good magic power, if he fights with him in the town, the damage will definitely not be small, and it may even endanger other citizens and cause unnecessary trouble.
So Irene chose to wait and see for the time being.
As for the "sibling relationship", she doesn't believe in it at all, and she can give it up at any time!
You can give it up, so it doesn't matter how close the relationship is. If you refuse to be a stepmother or mother-in-law, you just subconsciously don't want to think of your abandoned daughter.
Of course... women's appearance and age are also one of the factors to consider.
Irene's plan succeeded. She tied Kira, who had a suspicious identity and unknown purpose, to her side for surveillance; Undoubtedly, it will allow him to have more opportunities to contact him in his subsequent actions, whether it is of great help to "stopping the empire's war plan" or "disintegrating the Twelve Shields plan".
But what Kira was thinking at this time was...
"Elusha, next time we meet, you should call me uncle!"
……
"Aqiu!"
In the cabin, Erza sneezed hard.
"Elusha, do you have a cold?"
"Please, that's Erza, how could she catch a cold?!"
"I'm fine!" Erza frowned, "This feeling is more like some kind of malice... Who could it be?"
A familiar face appeared in several people's minds at the same time.
