Chapter 69: Kana's Memories
In 774, Magnoria, the tail of the elves of the Magus Guild. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Bang!" a stout man slammed his glass on the table and asked the girl behind the bar dissatisfied, "Angela, you're too much, what is this?
Behind the bar, a woman with long aqua blue hair showed a headache and explained helplessly: "It's not water......!"
The man suddenly said angrily: "What's the difference!"
Hearing this, a seven or eight-year-old girl sitting next to her immediately showed a "victorious" expression to the service girl Angela, and shouted: "Look, the uncle said that this is water, so I have no problem drinking it." As she spoke, the girl drank bitterly from the huge glass in front of her.
Angela glared at the man angrily: "This is wine! Stupid, don't teach little Kana badly!"
The man touched his head in embarrassment, how did he know that the wine mixed with more than half of the water was a drink prepared by Kana! It seems that little Kana and Angela have just started a debate again on the question of "whether the water mixed with the wine is wine or not", and little Kana has been trying to prove that this is just ordinary water, so as to gain the right to drink.
β¦β¦ The man shook his head helplessly, reached out and took a bottle of wine, and immediately left this land of right and wrong. He shouted just now, but in fact, he didn't dare to turn his face with the beautiful girl in front of him - otherwise the whole guild would not let him go, and when facing Angela, no one would be dissatisfied and hostile to a gentle and kind girl like her. He didn't want to get involved in the battle for little Kana's right to drink.
So amid a round of good-natured laughter from the people around him, the burly man obediently left the bar.
"Don't you care, Lord!" Angela glared fiercely at the group of drunkards in the guild again, then turned to look at the short old man sitting at the bar, trying to find help.
But at this moment, I saw that Makarov was already slightly drunk holding his special wine glass with a large capacity, and he didn't seem to hear Angela's words.
"It's like this all of them...... That's why little Kana is a bad learner!" Angela complained.
There was another burst of laughter from below.
At this moment, the door of the guild was suddenly pushed open. Since it was early afternoon, there were not many people in the guild hall, and in a relatively quiet environment, the sound of "squeak" opening the door was very conspicuous.
Has anyone returned? People subconsciously looked over, Fairy Tail is a small and medium-sized guild with a small number of members, and there are not many missions recently, so everyone is basically here, except for a few particularly powerful guys who are carrying out high-level missions in the distance, is one of them back?
The goblins looked at the gate expectantly, only to find that a strange boy had entered.
Not a member of Fairy Tail, the guild's recent development has been relatively sluggish, and it has not accepted young newcomers, and the apprentice magician apprentices in the entire guild are only Kana and Laxus. Therefore, when they saw that the comer was not Laxus, they immediately confirmed that the comer was not the wizard of Fairy Tail.
The boy who came in was only eleven or twelve years old, with black hair and black eyes, a somewhat thin figure, and very simple clothes, but unexpectedly full of dusty feelings, his hair was a little disheveled, and the legs of his trousers were full of dust and fine cracks, and they were very badly worn. Strikingly, the boy also carried a hardcover book with a large leather cover on his side as if he were carrying a leather bag.
At first glance, people tend to ignore the boy's face and instead memorize the book...... It's as if that hardcover book is what he is.
The boy calmly walked into the fairy tail, only to find that everyone in the hall was staring at him, and suddenly stopped, looking a little nervous, but his eyes were extraordinarily bright, like all children who have arrived in a strange place, and his face was full of curiosity and carefully examined everything in the guild.
This kid, can't he be in the wrong place, is it? Or is he lost and came to ask for help? People speculated, but they didn't pay much attention to it, even if it was to help the child find his way home, it was a kind of task. Experienced magicians have long been accustomed to the strange tasks that appear on the task board from time to time, and in contrast, the task of helping the child to return home is a little simpler and naΓ―ve, but it is still a normal kind, so people quickly turn around and continue with their original actions.
Angela took the initiative to leave the bar, greeted him, walked up to the boy with a gentle smile, leaned down slightly to maintain the same height as the boy, and greeted him cordially: "Little brother, welcome to Fairy Tail, is there anything you need help with." β
As if frightened by the enthusiasm of this big sister, the boy did not speak immediately, but looked a little embarrassed and looked around.
Somewhat shy, this kid...... Is it here to do an adventure game?
Fairy Tail handles the relationship with the ordinary residents of the city very well, and the members of the guild are very close to the people, so there are often residents who come here to find out what the life of the sorcerers in the guild is like, and the guild members are always very welcome to this. And it's basically Angela who receives and introduces her, after all, she's the image spokesperson of Fairy Tail.
Angela has always been very fond of children, especially "spiritual" children - according to the president, Angela has a natural affinity for children with excellent magical talents. That's why she also serves as the head of the guild's apprentices.
At this moment, Angela found that she liked the boy in front of her very much, and she had a great sense of him at first sight.
Is the cool and refreshing feeling the magic of water or ice? The perception of talent made Angela immediately realize the magical nature of the boy. She knew that this was a very gifted child, and even had a lot of magical attainments. I was not too surprised to find Angela, in this magical world, it is not too unusual to master magic at a young age
Makarov also raised his eyelids slightly to look at them, and then nodded slightly at Angela. Angela immediately knew that the president had also taken a fancy to the child's talent, and was overjoyed to see the hunter, and motioned for her to attract the boy into the guild, which had been trying to add fresh blood to the guild lately.
Angela saw the boy's gaze and finally noticed the task board next to him, and explained on the side: "That is the guild's task board, which has all kinds of tasks released from all over the country for the magicians to deal with. It's the guild's job to earn money by completing these tasks. β
Seeing that the boy was really interested in those tasks, Angela simply led him to the task board.
"Can you read all the words?" asked Angela, like a child. Of course, she was already sure that the boy knew how to write, otherwise it would be difficult for him to learn magic, and didn't he still have a book on his back?
In the face of such a somewhat excessive care, the boy felt embarrassed again, and did not know how to respond to this self-acquainted big sister, in the face of such a gentle smile, no one could refuse her, right?
"Yo, Angela-chan, I'm taking the kids again. There was a bald man standing in front of the task board, and when he saw the two leaning over, he greeted them, and after scanning the task board again, he ripped off a task list, "It's you......! Is it a little wolf again? It seems that there have been more and more such beasts lately. β
"This is a mission issued by the mayor of Magnolia. Recently, there have been a lot of wild animals in the forests on the outskirts of the city. Angela explained that the Fairy Tail Lady is not only a beautiful waitress, but also the logistics director of the guild, including the release and registration of these tasks, Angela is in charge.
"Although the mission was issued through the Senate, since we have Fairy Tail in this city, similar tasks have basically been completed by our people. Angela turned to the boy again.
But Angela noticed that the boy didn't listen to her, but stared at the task board, and she seemed to see a light flickering in the boy's pupils, and his eyes were sweeping rapidly, and he had swept the entire quest board in just a few seconds.
Could it be that he had already finished reading it? so soon? Angela was a little surprised, and she also noticed that the boy had a slightly disappointed look after reading all the task lists, was he looking for a specific task?
At this time, the boy followed behind the man who had just taken the task, stood on tiptoe slightly, and glanced up at the task list in the man's hand.
The man looked back: "Yo, boy, I'm going to work, I don't have time to play with you." Let this Sister Angela accompany you. β
The boy hesitated for a moment, but then made up his mind and spoke for the first time: "I saw that mission in the hotel. He pointed to the task list in the man's hand, and at the glance he had just taken to see the contents of the task list.
The man paused, and said with some confusion, "This kind of task list is indeed found in many taverns - they are usually used as decorations...... But when did it come to the hotel?"
Angela came over and grabbed the boy: "Okay, don't disturb Uncle to go to work." β
The boy suddenly broke free of Angela's hand excitedly, came to the man, looked at the other party with a serious face and said: "The reward for the cleaning task of the little swift wolf is 70,000, and I only need half of it...... No, as long as 30,000 will do. The task has been completed and can be handed over to you directly!"
