Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Magician on Leave
The city of Harugian, the largest seaport city in the Fiore Kingdom, is also a famous tourist destination. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 InfoIt was here that Lucy met the fake fire dragon Bora and Nazharbi a week ago, and it was here that she stepped into the Fairy Tail family.
Ninth Street is the most famous shopping street in the city, in addition to the many shops along the street, and more importantly, most of the street has an easy view of the coast, which is why it is home to at least half of the city's restaurants. One of them is the Dusk Cafe, which is small and not very famous, but it is a long-established brand that has existed since the early days of Harugian, and has a good reputation among the city's locals.
In the corner of the café by the window, a listless man sat languidly, with a heavy book and a cup of coffee on the table in front of him. The man didn't have the slightest intention of drinking coffee, and even sat motionless all afternoon, and the coffee was already cold.
But the waiters who came and went were not surprised, and let the listless man spend his time in the shop.
Nimina, the café's signature girl, approached the man and asked, "It's already cold, do you want to change to a hot one?" ”
The man's eyes swept over the girl in front of him without focus, and said, "No, no need, it's good to be cold, it's better to just add some ice." ”
"Ahh ”
"What's the matter? I'm here for a vacation. Waz finally came to his senses, rubbed his forehead and said, "I just want to empty my head and rest now." ”
Nimina smiled and said, "It seems that your work is also tiring." The sorcerer is also very hard. ”
Woltz smiled wryly, "Not only that, but I have a lot of other messy things to worry about." If you don't take the time to fix it, you'll break down. ”
Nimina nodded understandingly, "Yes, everyone's job is not easy." But Woz, are you really that busy? I don't see anything about you in the Wizards Weekly. Obviously the tail of the fairy is so famous. ”
"Maybe it's because I'm not very good at getting into trouble. Woz took his coffee and sipped it. Suddenly, I saw a familiar figure walking by outside, and I couldn't help but be stunned.
"Huh? Isn't that Natsu and Lucy? Why are they here too?
Nimina followed Wads' line of sight and recognized the two men, who had been wanted for three days by the annoyed mayor for destroying half of the port at the end of last month.
"It's them...... It should be a colleague, doesn't Woz have to go and say hello?"
Woz shook his head, still looking like he didn't want to move: "No, I'm on vacation. He is reluctant to meddle in his affairs, especially with Natsu's work. He's going to burn something again, anyway...... It's because there are too many guys like him in the guild that I'm so tired!"
"Really?" said Nimina, "Ah, by the way, since Woz is also a veteran member of Fairy Tail, he must know Miss Mila Jeanne, right?"
"yes, what's wrong?"
Nimina suddenly bowed and asked, "Can you please help me get an autographed photo of Miss Mila Jeanne?"
"Huh?" Woz looked surprised.
Nimina said, "Miss Mila Jenny is our idol!" and all the waitresses in the shop nodded in agreement, "Speaking of which, she is the most famous signature girl." ”
Woltz smiled wryly and said, "I see, I see. I'll send it when I get back. How much?" Before the kingdom launched the Great Demon Fighting Exercise, the general public's understanding of the Magus was indeed not very comprehensive, except for Magnolia and places like Magnolia who had zero contact with the Magus Guild, people still mainly learned about the world of the Magus through the Magus Weekly, which directly led to the fame of many powerful magicians far inferior to the good-looking magicians, especially the beautiful magicians. Therefore, after the change of image and temperament, although Mila Jenny's strength has dropped significantly, her popularity has reached the first horror level in the country.
"Huh, can you ask for a few more?" Sure enough, Nimina was as excited as the avid Star Chaser, and was pleasantly surprised, "We have nine sisters in the store, so if you can, you want nine." ”
Wads said: "It's a bit troublesome, it's better to do this, the magazine seems to be going to shoot a new photo book for her, and I'll ask her to send a whole signed edition when the time comes, and you can divide it yourself." ”
"Thank you so much. All the girls thanked Wads.
Mila Jenny is really powerful, although she has lost her combat effectiveness, she is the most popular one in the guild. Wads thought helplessly.
Nimina, who was in a good mood, smiled sweetly and reminded, "Woz, my father has already prepared the boat you want, when do you need to leave?"
This is also the practice of Woz, who chooses to come to this café every year on vacation, so he is also a regular customer, and after spending half a day in the store, he borrows a small fishing boat from the owner's house to drift on the sea to fish alone. Of course, Woz is not fishing, after all, he doesn't like to eat fish, but he likes to find a quiet enough place to rest in the deepest part of his soul, in Woz's words, "away from the crowd, really quiet".
At night, with a full moon in the sky, it is clear that there will be nice good weather ahead. Woz drifted out of the harbor in a boat rented from Nimina's family, and when he reached the surface, he took a random current and went with the flow. When he came to the sea, Wodds didn't come to fish specifically anyway, but he just fixed the fishing rod prepared by the shopkeeper on the side of the boat, and threw the hook at will, without even preparing the bait, which seemed insincere. Then he lay on his back on the deck and looked at the sky. Feel the sea breeze and the waves beneath you.
But I didn't expect that I had no intention of fishing, but a fish bit the hook. Unwilling to be disturbed and too lazy to move, Woz ignored it, allowing the fish to struggle in the water, and finally even began to drag the boat away. It's fast, and it still looks like a big fish.
When the big fish finally dragged down, Woz didn't know where he was, but he didn't worry about being disoriented, and continued to let the boat drift. At this moment, the voice of someone talking was heard on the quiet sea. Because the sound was familiar, Wadss propped up and looked at another small fishing boat, with three people sitting on it, and another boatman-like man driving the boat in the stern.
"Oh, it's Woz!" Natsu's voice sounded in the distance, "Did you say they came to get us?"
"Wouldn't it be? Wasn't Woz-senpai on vacation?" was Lucy's voice, a little panicked.
As the two ships approached, Woz finally remembered something and asked, "You guys, you don't want to go on an S-class mission on that Cursed Island, do you?"
Lucy exclaimed, "Did you find it?
"So, give up!" shouted Gray, who was tied up in the back, "Come back with me!"
Natsu got seasick and didn't say a second word, and Harpy asked in his place, "Why is Woz here?"
"I'm on vacation. Woz patted the rod beside him, "By the way, there's a big fish, Harpy continued." As he spoke, Wadst threw out the fish that had been caught for a long time.
Harpy was very happy to catch: "Bah, thank you Woz." ”
Gray couldn't help but shout, "Hey, Woz, now that you already know, why don't you stop them quickly! ”
Woz smiled suddenly, "I'm not currently in the guild sequence, so I won't care about these things." If you are caught, there will be Elusa. ”
"But Elusa just left for work today!That's why she sent me!" Gray explained.
Woz said, "Presumably, Elusa has been urgently recalled by the president at this time. Don't count on me, President, they know I'm in the city, and even then they haven't informed me to stop you...... Because they also know that I won't be nosy on vacation. ”
Natsu was overjoyed and struggled to compliment: "Woz, you're amazing...... ...... vomit"
Gray was helpless: "So, I'm not one of them, don't default to me as a violator!"
Woz said solemnly, "But, Natsu, this also means that I will not interfere in your mission at all, so don't think that I will support you as soon as I did before. Natsu, have you come to your senses?"
Natsu grinned, "Of course, I'll do this task myself." ”
"No, that's not what I'm talking about. Woz shook his head and pointed at Lucy, "I mean, do you have the consciousness to take responsibility for the life and death of the newcomer who has trusted you?"
Lucy shuddered, "What a terrible feeling. ”
Natsu also said solemnly, "No problem, I will do my best to protect Lucy." ”
"That's not right, right. Gray shouted.
Waz said: "Gray doesn't need to shout, in fact, you've always wanted to do an S-class mission, right? Otherwise, with your ability, you won't be tied up so easily, right? And you're also calmer......"
Woz suddenly said, "Actually, if this task drags on any longer, I plan to carry it out, with Gray you." ”
"Take me?" Gray was a little puzzled, "Why?" Speaking of which, Gray and Woltz don't have a good relationship, they can only be regarded as ordinary companions, and they don't usually have much intersection. So when he heard that Woz would take him on S-class missions, he was very strange.
Without saying anything, Waz looked in the direction of the Cursed Island in the distance and said, "Good luck with this mission." ”
Woz said inexplicably, everyone in the guild got used to it, and Gray was no longer entangled. After the three of them said goodbye to Woz, they continued to march towards the legendary cursed island of Karna, because of Woz's acquiescence, they had a lot of confidence in their hearts, except for the bold Naz, the other two were not so worried about punishment from the guild, after all, their actions were approved by Woz, didn't they?
When the coast of the island can already be seen with the naked eye, the boatman suddenly begins to tell about the curse that happened on the island: it turns out that he is also a resident of the island, and the island is inexplicably cursed, turning everyone in the village into demons!
As he spoke, the boatman lifted his cloak, revealing his left hand, and the three of the demon tails were surprised to see that his entire arm had turned into a hideous and terrifying claw!
As Lucy screamed, a sudden wave swept over the boat, capsizing the boat, and the three of them were even more surprised to find that the boatman was gone! The three of Natsu were overturned by the waves again in surprise, they had never imagined that this S-class mission would be so troublesome and strange even before it officially began.
