Chapter 498 I never expected Erza over there to be so bold.
The grand banquet began in the luxurious hall atop the Hua Deng Palace.
Compared to the original work, the interior design here is more luxurious and the space is more spacious. Through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, you can overlook the entire cityscape of Crocus.
This venue is typically used by the Kingdom of Fiore to host important figures such as leaders of other countries.
This shows how much importance the royal family attached to this banquet. Even excluding Chess, the monster who single-handedly blasted away a horde of dragons, Fairy Tail and the other guilds performed exceptionally well at this Dragon King Festival, fully demonstrating the terrifying potential that "humans can also defeat dragons."
The Fiore royal family naturally dared not neglect this group of mages who were destined to become the focus of the magical world!
At the banquet, a dozen round tables laden with delicacies were arranged in a staggered pattern. The mages, dressed in their finest attire, strolled among the tables, enjoying the food and exchanging pleasantries, reminiscing about the thrilling battle against the dragon.
A lively, cheerful, and relaxed atmosphere filled the entire venue.
Because they were delayed in the card space and had to choose the gorgeous dresses carefully provided by the royal family, Chase, Mira, and Erza were the last to arrive.
Mira wore a figure-hugging dress that accentuated her figure. The style was similar to the burgundy dress she usually wore at the guild, but it was more dignified and luxurious. Her high ponytail was a departure from her usual long, flowing hair.
Erza, on the other hand, wore a black open-chest top with a deep red long skirt, and her makeup and gold chain jewelry perfectly accentuated her fairy queen demeanor.
As for Chase, who is always easygoing, there's not much to say; it's just a very ordinary Western-style dress.
If it weren't for Mira and Erza's insistence, he wouldn't even bother to change it.
"Here he comes! Mr. Chase has finally arrived!"
"Wow, Miss Erza and Miss Mira look so beautiful today!"
"Damn it! Why don't I have a girlfriend who's both beautiful and powerful? I'd be laughing in my sleep if I had even just one, let alone two!"
"It's time to wake up, because first of all, you need to have Mr. Chase's terrifying power."
As the initiators and terminators of the "Dragon King Festival," the appearance of Chess and his two companions immediately drew the attention of all the mages present.
Amidst the envious and admiring whispers of the crowd, they walked side by side straight to the area where Fairy Tail was located.
"Huh? Why is your face so red, sister?"
While his companions were amazed by her makeup and outfits, Elfman immediately noticed the unusual look on his older sister's face. "Did she suffer a hidden injury in yesterday's battle?!"
This guy was also wearing a formal suit, but his unusually large physique was there, making him look like a wild beast wearing a glamorous coat.
"No, no, my minor injuries have already healed."
Even Mira couldn't help but panic when she recalled what Chase had said in the card space.
Although she had already decided to entrust everything to Chase, no matter how strong her mental fortitude was, she was still a young girl and found it difficult to calmly face the matter of "giving birth".
—When the night is quiet, the Fairy Tail girls discuss this topic quite a bit!
Seeing her concerned but clueless younger brother still wanting to ask more questions, Mira quickly let go of Chess's hand and turned to Lisanna: "That's all for now, Lisanna, quickly take me to see other parts of the banquet!"
"Okay! Let me tell you, Mira, the pastries over there are absolutely delicious!"
Lisana, who was called out, immediately understood and took her older sister's arm, walking in another direction.
She hadn't walked more than a few steps when her gossip-loving nature kicked in, and she lowered her voice, eagerly asking Mira what had happened.
"Sister is acting strange, is she really okay? —"
Elfman watched the two disappear into the crowd, still feeling somewhat uneasy.
"Ha, what a muscle-bound idiot," Abba Green said with a disdainful snort, arms crossed.
"Mira is alright, but—"
Bisca then turned to Erza on the other side of Chess, winked with a smile, and teased, "I didn't expect Erza over there to be so bold~"
Before successfully proposing to future Alzak, she, who came from the western continent, had been living in the girls' dormitory and had shared many private conversations about feelings with Erza, or more accurately, Erza from the future world. They were quite familiar with each other.
Therefore, Erza, who is on Chase's side, has found someone she truly loves, and she is genuinely pleased.
"It's a pity that our world doesn't have Mr. Chess—" Future Bisca felt a little regretful.
"Erza! How dare you!" the little girl Asuka, held in his arms, exclaimed in a clear voice.
Erza, who was naturally shy, was immediately embarrassed by what the mother and daughter said, her face turning bright red and steaming.
"You guys chat, I need to go check out other places too!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the Fairy Queen hurriedly scanned the entire scene, grabbed the nearest person, Eclair, and rushed into the crowd not far away.
Aikerea, who was quietly enjoying her meal just a second ago: "————"
"Eclair, wait for me!" Mengmeng flapped her wings and chased after her.
"She's really cute. No matter which world she's in, Erza is Erza."
Bisca covered her mouth and chuckled, then looked at Chase, "You must make them happy, Mr. Chase."
O
"Isn't this just common sense?" Chase glanced at Mira and Erza, who quickly blended into the banquet atmosphere.
Little Asuka noticed his expression and immediately puffed out her cheeks, a hint of jealousy in her voice: "Big brother, I want to be happy too!"
Although they hadn't spent much time together, the little guy's affection and closeness to him was undeniable, even surpassing that of the chairman's grandfather, who should have been ranked first.
"Okay, okay, let's go eat something delicious now."
Chess smiled as he took Aska from Bisca's arms, affectionately patted the little one's head through her cowboy hat, and then slung her over his head. "Let's go! Destination: the banquet center!"
"Let's go! Let's go!" Asuka danced with joy.
The other companions, especially those from the original world who knew Chase better, were dumbfounded by this scene.
Even if it wasn't the first time they'd seen it, they still felt a sense of unreality: it was really hard to imagine that the combat maniac who would always hide cards to trick people could have such a gentle side!
"You're making it sound so convincing, I thought this guy was going to punch Asuka away!" Future Gildarts, who was not far away, breathed a sigh of relief.
Having been away from home and missing the "Dragon King Festival," he finally arrived in Crocus this morning. Fairy Tail, which exists in both worlds, is already widely known, so there's no need for him to hide.
And he really wanted to see his companions in the other world.
"Haha, to be honest, I had this concern back when I was in the guild."
Gildarts raised his glass to his future self and clinked it together, laughing, "The result is unexpectedly that he really dotes on the kid, that brat."
This statement immediately drew disdainful looks from the two Kanas: compared to them, that bastard who didn't even know he had a daughter was absolutely terrible!
