Chapter 9: The Right to Pursue Mira (Revised)

Qin Xiu and Elusa quickly solved the bandits, and after Qin Xiu notified the local army, the matter was perfectly resolved.

"Isn't it only 50,000 J, how did it rise to 300,000?" Qin Xiu said as he looked at the receipt in his hand.

"Because the number of people has gone up, the difficulty factor has increased," Elusa explains.

"I see," Qin Xiu nodded.

"Elusa, this 300,000 J is also half of you," Qin Xiu looked at Elusa and said.

"You're the only one who took on this task, and I'm not qualified for it," Elusa shook her head.

"No, I failed to do this job myself, although I took it, but most of the thieves were solved by you, if it weren't for you, I really didn't know what to do, and it was impossible to complete the task so perfectly, so you deserve it" Qin Xiu looked at Elusa and said.

Ai Lusha looked at Qin Xiu's eyes and was silent.

"I'm sorry, I really can't think of any way to thank you," Qin Xiu said.

"It's normal for the union to form a team to work, it's natural to entrust the equalization, this time we will work in a team," Elusa looked at Qin Xiu and said.

Qin Xiu was stunned for a moment, then nodded with a smile.

"Let's go, go back to the union, the president is still waiting for us," Elusa said, and turned to walk forward.

"Hmm," Qin Xiu nodded and followed.

On the train back to Magnolia

"Elusa, did anyone help you the first time you took on the entrusted mission?" Qin Xiu asked.

"No, I did it myself," Elusa said, shaking her head.

"When?" Qin Xiu said curiously.

"It wasn't long before I joined the union, it was x777, I don't remember the exact date, but it was spring," Elusa said.

"Five years ago, I had just woken up at that time," Qin Xiu said.

"I woke up five years ago, what do you mean?" Alusa wondered.

Qin Xiu was stunned, "Didn't the president tell you?"

"No, we don't know anything about you, and I don't even know about your mercenary skills now," Elusa said, shaking her head.

In fact, the reason why Makanov didn't tell everyone in the union is very simple, for everyone's privacy can't be touched, although he knows Qin Xiu's past, he can't say it casually, so he doesn't want Qin Xiu to touch the other side of him unintentionally by others, only five years of real life experience makes Qin Xiu feel lonely in his heart, so he didn't say this, hoping that his companions in the union can let him pull out of that bit of loneliness, and now Qin Xiu's heart knot has been untied after this mission, and it was untied in the battle, which is exactly what Qin Xiu said to himself before Qin Xiu and Alusa went to Alishan"It's not enough to keep moving forward, why do you think so complicated" The negative emotions hidden in my heart for five years broke out with the battle, and now Qin Xiu doesn't care anymore, just live your life with peace of mind.

"I understand what the president did, and he did it for my good," Qin Xiu lowered his head slightly and laughed softly.

"Is it your sadness?" Alusa asked.

"It's not, it's just some tangled and depressed emotions, these emotions have been around me for five years, and now with that battle to expel out, I feel as if I was born for battle, and now I feel a little relaxed, hehe" Qin Xiu laughed.

"Really?" said Elusa as she looked at Qin Xiu.

"Well, do you want to hear about it?" Qin Xiu asked.

"Well, I'm interested," Elusa nodded.

"Actually, I am a person who has lost my memory, I only woke up five years ago, I don't even remember my name, Qin Xiu, this name is really not my real name, it was originally just obtained to remember this name, I have an adoptive father, who adopted me in nine years, according to him, I was sick, and I would forget everything about myself every other month until I woke up five years ago, until now, the physical technique was learned by me and my adoptive father, he is a retired mercenary" Qin Xiu said lightly.

Ai Lusha watched Qin Xiu finish speaking, gradually lowered her head, touched the train table with her hand, and was silent, before she raised her head and looked at Qin Xiu, "I feel so sad," Ai Lusha said softly.

"Yes, I used to think that I was the most pitiful person in the world, but as time passed, I also figured out a lot, even if it was a tragic past, as long as I was alive, I had to live happily, even if the future was unknown, I had to go on," Qin Xiu said.

"Once you give up, everything you have will disappear, and nothing will be left, I just remember this sentence" Qin Xiu continued.

Elusa looked at Qin Xiu in a daze, and she didn't know what she was thinking, she just looked at her dumbfounded, as if she was distracted, Qin Xiu didn't say anything when she looked at Elusa, she just frowned.

After a long time, Elusa asked, "Who said that?"

"I don't know who said it, Alusa actually remembered it the moment you came, the time you said I was in tears" Qin Xiu said with a frown.

"Uh" Elusa startled.

"In the past five years, I have shed tears only because of my father's prototype, and that is because I was moved, but this memory that I can't remember alone makes me cry too, this ......" Qin Xiu's brows furrowed tightly, and his words stopped.

"What did I say to you?" Elusa asked.

"I don't know," Qin Xiu shook his head and said.

"It's weird," Elusa said.

"Hmm" Qin Xiu nodded.

"Maybe you'll remember it all that day," Elusa said.

"Well, it's useless to keep thinking about it when the boat arrives at the bridge, take your time" Qin Xiu stretched his waist and said, then looked out the window.

"It's for the best," Elusa said.

After the two returned to the union, Makanov breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Qin Xiu come back safely, and the people in the union were also happy to see Qin Xiu come back.

"Well done, Asho," Makanov said.

"There, I wouldn't know what to do if it wasn't for Elusa helping me," Qin Xiu scratched his head and smiled embarrassedly.

"It seems that this work has made you think a lot clearly," Makanov said with relief when he saw Qin Xiu's smile.

"Hmm" Qin Xiu nodded and looked at Mirazhen on the side, finding that she was also looking at herself. Qin Xiu thought about it and walked over to Mi Lazhen.

"Mira," Qin Xiu shouted.

"Congratulations on your safe return," Mirajane said.

"Well, Mira, I have something to say to you," Qin Xiu said as he looked at Mirazhen.

"Huh?" Mirazhen looked at Qin Xiu suspiciously.

"Well, how do you say that?" Qin Xiu said with a slight frown.

"Don't rush, take your time," Mirajan said with a smile.

Qin Xiu looked at Mirazhen in a long black dress, and was stunned by the gentle smile on her face.

"Maybe you are the most beautiful like this," Qin Xiu said in a low voice.

"Eh, Ashu, what are you talking about?" Mirajan blushed slightly.

"Originally, I had a lot to say to you, but now I feel that it doesn't matter if I don't say it," Qin Xiu said.

"Then what are you trying to say to you," Mirazhen said as she looked at Qin Xiu.

Qin Xiu stared at Mira Zhen silently, and said for a long time, "Mira, you just need to maintain your smile, your smile may be a kind of reluctance for most people in the union, but during my work, I understand your smile."

Mirajane was stunned.

"Your smile is given by Lisanna, it is your sustenance for her, however, I don't want you to live for others, Mira, your truest smile is what Lisana expects"

Mirajane lowered her head and remained silent, as if thinking about something.

"Sister, you also have a gentle side," Lisanna's voice suddenly remembered in Mirajan's mind.

Qin Xiu looked at Mirazhen's state and said again, "Mira, if you need to be protected, I can do it, and ......"

"Ah Xiu, are you confessing to Mira?" Suddenly a voice sounded and interrupted Qin Xiu's words.

"What?" suddenly there was a burst of surprise in the union.

"Really?"

"Ah Xiu, this kid ......"

"Mira, don't promise him"

"Speaking of which, these two children seem to be a good match," said Macao's voice.

"What are you talking about?

"Kana, you know what you're talking about" Qin Xiu looked at Kana on the side speechlessly.

"I finished drinking, I came to get the wine, I just heard you say to Mira that I am here to protect you, isn't this a confession?" Kana glanced at Qin Xiu, and then stared at Qin Xiu with strange eyes, "I didn't expect it, Ah Xiu, you kid has a lot of heart" while touching her jaw.

"I ......" Qin Xiu was speechless.

"Ah Xiu, let's duel" suddenly a voice shouted.

"Loki, what are you doing here," Qin Xiu said as he looked at the orange-haired man with an angry face in front of him.

"Duel, the loser has to give up the opportunity to pursue Mira," Loki said.

"Ah" Qin Xiu looked at Loki with a serious face dumbfounded.

"They are all newcomers to the union, let's not do this," Qin Xiu said with a smile.

"No, it's a big deal," Loki said, "Look, ring magic"

"Hey, don't be so serious, okay" Qin Xiu looked shocked, and saw that the ring inlaid with magic crystals in Loki's hand sent out a magic bullet towards him, and hurriedly dodged. But the magic bullet hit the bar, and the bar exploded instantly.

"Loki, you're actually playing really," Qin Xiu shouted.

"This is human happiness, you can't take it seriously," Loki said with a serious face.

"In this case, twelve consecutive kicks" Qin Xiu instantly ran to Loki's side and kicked Loki twelve times in a row, but he didn't use much force, and Loki was directly kicked away.

"Instant kill, Ashu wins," Makanov suddenly held up a sign and shouted.

"Yo, it's so lively in the union, Ah Xiu won, is it because of who is stronger in the competition?" Natsu happened to enter the union at this time and heard Makanov's shout, Natsu looked excited at this time.

"I'm coming," Natsu jumped up excitedly and punched Qin Xiu.

"Wait, Natsu, it's not what you think," Qin Xiu hurriedly said as he looked at Natsu who rushed over.

"I'll talk about it when I'm done," Natsu shouted.

Qin Xiu saw that there was no way, he landed on the ground with one hand, bent his leg against Natsu's stomach, and then bounced Natsu's belly with his feet, so that Natsu would not cause harm to Natsu, and Natsu flew to the other side with Qin Xiu's force and pressed on Gray's body.

"Natsu, you idiot, you've crushed me," Gray immediately shouted.

"Didn't you see that I was dueling with Ah Xiu," Natsu shouted as he got up.

"Do you want to fight?" said Gray, angrily.

"Always with me," Natsu yelled.

"Natsu quits the game, Asho wins," Makao said, holding up a sign as Makanov did.

"What? I haven't lost yet," Natsu turned and yelled at Macao.

"Natsu, you idiot came for me" Gray kicked Natsu in the ass, causing Natsu to suddenly fall forward with a dog's mud, no, but on a table, while Elusa was sitting on the table eating a cold drink, which was instantly dropped to the ground by Natsu's touch.

Elusa's face darkened, and murderous aura suddenly burst out, but it was Natsu who got up with an angry face, and looked at Gray with anger on her face, not noticing Elusa on the side, "Gray, what do you mean"

"You two give me enough to stop" Elusa shouted at Natsu, a punch hit Natsu in the stomach, this time it was not so gentle as Qin Xiu's but extremely hard, Natsu was directly hurt by this punch and fell to the ground in pain, "Gray" Elusa looked at Gray again.

Gray was startled, "Well, I didn't do it," Gray said as he stepped back.

"Really, who do you say?" said Elusa, grimacingly.

"Yes, yes, it was Ah Xiu who did it," Gray suddenly pointed at Qin Xiu and shouted.

"Ah" Qin Xiu was taken aback by Gray's finger.

"Elusa, think about all this caused by Asho, it has nothing to do with me, ah" Gray said and screamed, it turned out that Elusa quickly approached Gray and punched Gray in the stomach, and Gray fell to the ground in pain like Natsu.

Suddenly there was silence in the union.

"Victor, Elusa, Elusa has the power to pursue Mira" Suddenly a voice rang out.

"What?" suddenly there was a voice in the union.

"Ahem, when Loki wakes up, I'll have to make him pay for the bar," Makanov's voice rang out.

"It's really chaotic," Qin Xiu touched his forehead and said speechlessly.

"Isn't that great?" Mirajan's voice sounded behind Qin Xiu.

"Maybe," Qin Xiu said speechlessly.

"I promised, you can protect me," Mirazhen took Qin Xiu's hand and said.

"Uh" Qin Xiu was stunned.

"It feels good" Mirazhen hugged one of Qin Xiu's hands and fell on Qin Xiu's arm, a trace of tears flashed in her eyes.

"Thank you, Asho," Mirajan whispered.

"It's okay, it should be" Qin Xiu smiled.

"Hmm," Mirajan nodded.
