Chapter 554 As expected, I couldn't stay in this lousy guild for another second!
Chess was unaware of the "good show" that was about to unfold, and it was already late at night when he returned to Magnolia from the Hatfilia mansion.
Even the usually energetic Fairy Tail members couldn't help but feel a bit tired after a whole day of playing around. After saying goodbye at the town gate, they all went home.
It's worth mentioning that Mira and Erza, blushing, were taken back to Chess's house amidst the cheers of their friends.
Well, to be more precise, it's their home.
The long and wonderful night passed in the blink of an eye.
The following morning, when Chase woke up, Mira and Erza were no longer by his side.
After a quick wash, he went down to the second floor and noticed two nutritious breakfasts on the coffee table in the living room.
One serving was a standard, refined vegetable salad with fried eggs and milk; the other was an irregularly shaped object still emitting black smoke.
There was a note next to each of the two breakfasts.
Mira: Mr. Chase, you worked hard last night. This is a special breakfast I made for you. (Remember to reheat it in the kitchen if it gets cold.)
Erza: Chase! You can throw away the broken fried egg, but you have to finish the toast!
After putting down the note, Chess couldn't help but shake his head with a smile.
Just looking at the two completely different breakfasts, he could automatically picture Mira and Erza arguing and competing with each other early in the morning.
I have to say, it feels pretty good to wake up to food prepared by my girlfriend. Even if I'm a little tired at night, it's okay.
"But this thing—is it actually toast?" Chase picked up the irregular black object and his lips twitched.
He always kept ingredients in his kitchen. Although Erza's cooking skills were not as good as Mira's, she couldn't possibly have come up with something like this.
If it were Lucy, that would make more sense.
Achoo!
At that moment, Lucy, who was taking care of Natsu who was suffering from motion sickness on the train, sneezed.
"He was probably too nervous because it was the first time she made breakfast for me, not to mention that Mira was bound to make sarcastic remarks next to him."
After guessing the general reason, Chess sighed helplessly, and regardless of the appearance and taste, sat down and ate both breakfasts clean, leaving not a single bite.
What? The taste of this irregular black mass is hard to describe?
Ha, talk to my powerful stomach acid! This was made by Erza herself, you bastard!
After breakfast, Chase arrived at the guild amidst the "friendly and enthusiastic" greetings from his neighbors.
To his surprise, the guild was unusually quiet today, with only a few idle old fish, making it seem quite deserted.
"Chase, you're here?"
Mira, dressed in a burgundy gown, smiled and spoke in front of the bar.
Erza, who had been sitting alone at the table lost in thought, suddenly stood up, her voice rang out almost simultaneously with Mira's: "Chase! How's the breakfast I prepared?!"
"Oh my, Erza made it for Chess. I thought that hot charcoal was for Natsu~" Mira teased, squinting her eyes.
Erza's eyes narrowed, and she instinctively wanted to give a fierce retort to this perverted woman who liked strange positions, but then she remembered the state of the freshly baked bread and couldn't help but lower her head guiltily.
Mira was right; that thing was actually more suitable for Natsu.
"We've finished eating, and we've licked the plates clean," Chase avoided commenting on the taste.
Upon hearing this, Erza instantly gained confidence, put one hand on her hip, proudly raised her head to look at Mira, and her slightly upturned lips were harder to suppress than AK's.
Because of the breakfast incident, she had received a lot of sarcastic remarks from Mira when she arrived in the morning, but Chess's affirmation made all her worries and tensions disappear!
"Hmph, that stinky card player is still too gentle." Mira puffed out her cheeks slightly, crossed her arms and pretended to be annoyed, as if she had known Chase would do this.
I was secretly thinking to myself: Next time I'll make you some weird dishes to try!
Macaoo, who was dozing off on the table, opened his eyes and said, "They're showing off their love again, those three bastards."
Wakaba, standing nearby, exhaled a heavy smoke ring: "Old buddy, I think we should get our hands on the commissions too—"
and also?
Chase keenly noticed the keyword and went over to sit down opposite Mira.
"Speaking of which, where are Nazlucy and the others?" he asked, looking around the guild.
"Michelle wanted to experience what it's like to be a mage, and Lucy's wallet seemed to be getting tight again, so they took a regular monster-slaying job early this morning and headed out."
Mira brought a glass of warm water and placed it in front of Chess. After thinking for a moment, she added, "Nazhabi followed him as soon as he heard that."
""
"Grey also took on a solo commission, but I saw Juvia secretly following him. Wendy and Charlotte went to help Granny Lina in the east of town find her lost cat."
In fact, it wasn't just the strongest squad; Gajeel and Levy, Laxus and the Thunder Gods also accepted the commission.
Some, like Lucy, have just returned and have high expenses, so they need to earn money. Others simply want to go out and understand and adapt to the world.
After all, the members of the Sirius group have a two-and-a-half-year gap in their careers, and it's not feasible for them to stay in the guild all day.
"I see." Chase picked up the warm water, took a sip, and nodded in understanding.
"Any suitable SS-level commissions lately? The three of us haven't teamed up before, so we could go out and have some fun," he suggested.
With Bahamut and the old man around, Eclair's safety is not a problem at all—even if the Principality of Veronica suddenly sends people to launch a sneak attack, it will be of no use.
More importantly, behind the guild is the magical weapon Nirvana, which is always in a state of activation.
No matter who it is, anyone with evil intentions will be precisely locked onto by the beams of good and evil the moment they step into Magnolia!
That's the source of his confidence in using the Phoenix Stone as bait!
I'll take on an SS commission for fun.
Hearing this, Macao and Wakaba, who had just been trying to be enthusiastic, completely gave up: compared to this, it's much more comfortable to just give up!
"It sounds interesting, but it might not be possible today," Mira sighed with some regret.
Before Chase could ask a question, the light from the card array beside him suddenly shone brightly.
A dark mage girl in a pink robe hopped out, affectionately linking her arm with Mira's, and winked playfully at Chess: "Hmph, silly master, you're too late! I already made plans with Mira to go shopping today!"
Because she needed to study the "Memory Day" grimoire that Chess had previously provided, she had recently been restricted from moving around by the Dark Magician. She even missed yesterday's trip to Heartfilia's mansion and saved her special vacation for today.
This also shows that she and Mira had the best relationship in the guild, and the two were almost like sisters.
Of course, having finally found an opportunity to secretly ask Mira about that thing that all the elves in the entire card space were curious about, the Dark Magician Girl would definitely not say it in front of Chess!
"That's right, so Chase and Erza should go."
Mira chuckled and patted the Dark Magician Girl's head, then glanced at Erza walking towards them and snorted, "That Iron Girl really got lucky."
Erza seemed not to hear the muttering, her exquisite face showing apology: "Sorry, Chase, I also have to go out later."
"No way, you have plans too?" Chase asked in confusion.
"Yes, Uru said that Miliana, Simon, and Hugh have all joined Sabertooth. I want to go and see them." Erza nodded, her sparkling eyes filled with longing for her former companions.
"Miriamna and the others joined Saberbiter, not Mermaid's Heel?"
Chess was a little surprised, but he quickly recovered.
On the day Uru visited, he spent most of his time with Wendy at the library, so it's normal that he didn't hear the news.
"That's easy, let's go together. It'll be a good opportunity to see how far the new Saberbite Tiger has progressed," he said in turn.
"Huh? You're not doing SS-rank commissions anymore?" Erza blinked in surprise and delight.
Actually, she had wanted to ask Chess to come with her earlier, but she was too shy—it sounded like a date.
"What are you two doing if you're not going? Our family isn't short of that commission money." Chase waved his hand magnanimously.
Mira and Erza blushed instantly upon hearing the words "our family," their faces showing embarrassment.
Two old salted fish not far away stared at him with envy, jealousy, and hatred: Listen to this, is this something a human being could say?!
What does it mean to not lack commission fees? Even the most ordinary SS commission can bring in tens of millions in rewards!
Sure enough, I couldn't stay in this lousy guild for another second longer.
