Petrel

Chapter 39

Waking up the next day was quite pleasant for me, there was no vulgarity like morning sex and the like, although I am not against it, but just a pleasant feeling of naked girls pressing against me. I was the first to get up, apparently, so I quietly got out of the embrace and headed to the shower. After washing, I, with a satisfied face and dressed in a robe, headed to the kitchen, where Lucy was already sitting sipping coffee.

"Morning, Lucy," I greeted cheerfully, heading to the fridge to see what I could make for breakfast.

"Good," Lucy answered sullenly.

- What's wrong with your mood? Did something bad happen? - I asked, taking out eggs and a piece of lard with a layer, although there was much more meat in this lard. And taking out a frying pan, I began to cook the most ordinary scrambled eggs with cracklings.

"A reporter from the magazine 'The Wizard' was supposed to come yesterday, and I missed him?" Lucy said, offended.

- Oh, come on, considering that I, Elsa, Charlie and Mira weren't in the guild, the reporter will definitely show up again next week, and if it's really that important to you, then I'll make sure he pays attention to you. - I tried to calm the girl down, while keeping an eye on the frying pan, from which the amazing smell of fried lard with a layer of fat had already begun to emanate, to which I had just started adding eggs.

"Really?" Lucy asked hopefully.

- Yes, - I said with a grin. - And, frankly, it's hard for me to understand what you and Mira like so much about being on the cover of this magazine, although just to piss off Laxus, who considers such a thing shameful, even Elsa and I sometimes join in.

- What's so shameful about that? - Lucy didn't understand.

- That's right, you're not familiar with our thunderer.

- You heard about Laxus himself as an S-rank mage, right? - I looked at the girl carefully and, after waiting for an affirmative nod, continued.

- His main problem is excessive pride, and since most of the S-rank mages in our guild are girls who are known throughout Fiore primarily as models, many, despite the status of the strongest light guild, underestimate us and when he encounters something like this on missions, he literally loses his mind. Don't think that in his heart he is a very kind and loyal guy to the guild, but such disdain hits his pride too hard.

- Does anyone really doubt the power of S-rank mages?

- Hahahaha. - I laughed at such a naive question. - Lucy, people are often absurdly prejudiced. Take Mira, for example. At the moment, she is not weaker than Laxus, but due to the fact that she looks too cute in everyday life and, in addition, usually works at the counter in our guild, most people at least forget that she is S rank. (Note: At the moment, I consider Mira equal to Laxus for the simple reason that in this fic, she did not lose her sister, and therefore did not fall into a deep depression while continuing to train.)

"I would like to clarify, how strong is Laxus? I just don't have even a rough idea about it." Lucy asked, slightly confused.

- Oh, right. Hmmm. Let's say you're familiar with the title of God's chosen one?

- Yes, they are the strongest magicians of Fiore. - the girl answered me immediately.

- Well, you could say that. Well, Laxus is at least strong enough to become God's chosen one.

- Stop, if he is already at the level of the chosen ones, then what level are you and Elsa at?

- Hm-hm. In my humble opinion, Elsa and I should be able to deal with a mage like Zeref. - I boasted with pleasure.

"You mean the most powerful dark mage in history?" Lucy asked.

- Yes, and if nothing changes, we will have to test my words in practice.

- What do you mean?! Zeref should be dead, right? - the spirit enchanter exclaimed.

- No, he is quite alive and rules the Aroboles Empire under the guise of Emperor Spriggan.

- What? - Lucy asked, shocked.

Oh, looking at her shocked face is pure pleasure. Am I risking telling her such information? Not really. If the same empire found out about the emperor's true identity, it would most likely make the people admire the fact that they are ruled by an immortal emperor even more, they will probably call him a god, and if they start worshiping him as a god, then over time he will become one in a couple of hundred years. And as far as I remember, Zeref wanted to capture Mavis in order to defeat Acnologia, and if Erza and I can take out this dragon, I hope that he will lose his motivation. Moreover, he will be a witness to our battle, and in extreme cases, I will take care of the awakening of our ancient loli and set her on the dark mage, besides, as far as I know, her son in the empire has already managed to turn gray.

- And you, Wendy, still love to shock others with unexpected information. - Elsa in a red robe entered the kitchen with a satisfied smile, followed by a shocked Mira and a cheerful Charlie.

- Oh, you're just in time. Do you want tea or coffee? - I said just as I started to put the food on the plates, not forgetting about Lucy, who apparently hadn't eaten anything except to drink coffee.

"Tea," Elsa and Charlie responded.

- And I would like some coffee, preferably stronger, - said the hostess of the house.

So, having sat down at the table with the whole company, we first ate in silence, giving Lucy and Mira time to come to their senses. However, when we got to tea and coffee, I spoke up.

- So how did you like last night, Mira? - I asked, smiling brightly.

- Well, I think you've coped with the task of crossing over to the pink side 1000%. - Mira answered with a heavy sigh and flushed cheeks, but Lucy wasn't so lucky. I asked this at the very moment when she started drinking her second cup of coffee with milk this morning and she choked on what she heard.

- Now, now, don't be so embarrassed, Lucy. I think I already told you how dragon blood appeared in your family tree.

- What do you mean? So Grandina was a woman? - Lucy asked, her eyes wide.

- I think that's what I said, - I answered, frowning slightly. - And the name, in my opinion, is obviously feminine.

- I was probably just too surprised about the dragon in the ancestors and missed that part. Sorry. - the girl said with a guilty expression on her face, no, what a cute creature, I see even Mira appreciated it.

- Hmm, by the way, Mira, what if Laxus improves and tries to improve relations, then what? - asked Charlie.

- Well, maybe he would have succeeded before, but I liked the way it happens from the Male side too much, and Laxus can no longer satisfy me in this regard, by the way, I blame you for this, Wendy. - Mira pointed at me accusingly.

- Hey-hey, for me last night was only a little less than your first time, and I think it's not worth continuing this topic, otherwise our Lucy will soon lose consciousness again. - I said, seeing that Lucy's head was steaming again, like in anime. I wonder how she will be able to lose her virginity at all if she almost faints from just talking.
