Chapter 46: Life, Scars, and Hope (Revised)
"Lucy, are you hiding something from me with Ah Xiu?" said Mirajan as she arrived at the library.
"Uh, no, absolutely not," Lucy panicked.
Mirajan stared at Lucy and seemed to suspect something, but Lucy felt extremely uneasy when she was stared at by Mirajan, as if the junior was caught by the main master, of course, this is just a metaphor to describe the uneasiness in Lucy's heart.
"I know it all," Mirajane said suddenly.
"You, what do you know?" asked Lucy nervously.
"Ashura ......" Mira Jane was interrupted by Lucy before she could finish her sentence.
"It was an accident, and we had absolutely no intention of betraying you," Lucy said, waving her hand and shaking it quickly.
"Accident?" Mirajane was stunned.
"The last time I accidentally kissed Ah Xiu, it was an accident, and the tricolor chain was an apologetic gift from Ah Xiu to me, Sister Mira, don't think about anything else," Lucy said in a panic, but after finishing speaking, she found that the surroundings were very quiet, and looked at Mirajan, and found that Mirajan was looking at Lucy dumbfounded.
"Sister Mira?" Lucy called out.
"Lu, Lu, Lucy, what did you just say? You kissed Asho?" asked Mirajan stupidly.
"Uh, you don't know anything?" Lucy sweated down her forehead.
"You kissed Ah Xiu?" Mirajan asked again stupidly.
"Well, but it was all an accident, and we didn't expect it," Lucy replied weakly.
"Well, then, Lucy, tell me all about it, I want to clear my mind," said Mirajane.
"Okay, I'll answer truthfully," Lucy said weakly, and at this time Lucy felt that she was being caught by the real card like the junior.
Then after Lucy told Mirajan all about it, Mirajan said angrily, "Damn, really hateful"
"Sister Mira, did you say you weren't mad at me?" said Lucy.
"I'm sorry, Lucy, I'm not angry with you, but angry at that bastard Qin Xiu" Mirazhen said angrily.
"This is not the same?" Lucy thought in her heart, Lucy believed Qin Xiu and Harpy's words when she saw Mirajan's angry expression at this time, Mirajan who was quiet was extremely gentle, and Mirajan who was boiling was extremely terrifying.
"Lucy, when Qin Xiu's bastard wakes up, I'll make the decision for you, how you punish it," Mirazhen looked at Lucy and said.
"No, no," Lucy felt a little furious.
"Hmph, it's impossible to let Qin Xiu take advantage of it so cheaply, and we girls don't take advantage of it like this," Mirazhen said.
"Yes, yes," Lucy nodded.
"Still, we'll wait until he wakes up," Mirajane said in a low voice.
After Lucy heard Mirajan's low voice, her expression also darkened, "Sister Mira, don't worry, I'm just like you"
"Lucy, you have a crush on Ah Xiu, don't you?" asked Mirajan.
"This, this," Lucy squeaked.
"Don't worry, I'm not a jealous woman, and I won't stop you if you like Ah Xiu too," Mirajan said.
"Sister Mira?" Lucy looked at Mirajan with some confusion.
"You know, I used to have a sister, but she died in front of me, the reason was my pride, thinking that I was fully capable of protecting her, but the result was that she died and disappeared in front of me forever, at that time, Ah Xiu had just joined the union, I was very depressed at that time, it seemed that the whole world was black and white, at that time the whole union was very sad, and everyone was comforting me, but I couldn't listen,"
"After Ah Xiu found out, he also spoke, I began to think that he was the same as everyone else, saying innocent words, but he asked me the details of the incident, saying that Lishana was not dead yet, I was taken aback at that time, because Lishana disappeared in front of me with her own eyes, I naturally knew what he wanted to do, he wanted to comfort me from another angle, I have to say, his persuasion was very useful, let me discover something, something I never noticed, that is, what am I for?"
"Lucy, do you know, at the moment of Lisanna's death, I didn't have the strength to fight, because I didn't know why to fight, how to fight, when I became the lady sitting on the stage in Fairy Tail, his words afterwards made me think about many things: "There may be many sad things in this life, but it is just to be sad for unwillingness, not the whole of life" and then I thought about many things, what I studied magic for, what I joined the guild for, and what I survived...... All of this has also been seen a lot in the two years of my retirement."
"So, for what?" asked Lucy, looking at Mirajan.
Mirajane looked at Lucy and lowered her head slightly, "For her own ......"
"For herself?" said Lucy, stunned.
"Yes, for myself" Mirajane raised her head and looked at Lucy, "in order not to be in pain, in order not to let the people who worry about me be sad, in order to live happily in this world, everything is for myself, for the people I love, so I chose the path I have now"
"So, I don't care that Lucy you like Ah Xiu too, as long as you are together, why bother so much? Not to mention that Lucy, you and I are now able to sense each other because of Ah Xiu's power, isn't it better?" said Mirajan.
"Yes, we can all sense each other, and there's nothing more intimate than this" Lucy nodded, "Is there any pain in the back?" Lucy thought to herself.
"Lucy, in fact, my combat effectiveness is not high now, there are always scars in my heart, and my ten percent strength can only play three layers, only Ah Xiu doesn't know about this matter, I lied to him that my strength is stronger, but I am a bar lady, Ah Xiu He may have noticed it, but he just didn't want to expose me, and wanted me to overcome it myself, but although I understand this, the past is still vivid, so, Lucy I want you to stay by Ah Xiu's side and monitor him"
"What, spying on him?" Lucy was taken aback.
"Well, don't you know that Ah Xiu is even more excessive than Loki, the same color as the president, I have searched his room more than once for the limited collector's edition of the photo girl magazine, in short, Lucy believes me right"
"I understand Sister Mira's thoughts as much color as the president," Lucy thought, "I haven't seen the limited collector's edition of the photo girl magazine, so it doesn't have to be sex, in fact, I want to see it too" Lucy thought in her heart that she didn't dare to say these words,
"Surveillance, let me be by his side in your place," Lucy said.
Mirajane nodded, "I used to think I could overcome it, but I still failed, I don't have the ability to accompany him on the mission, and now with you and me, it's like Lucy is me"
"I'm sorry. Lucy, impose my will on you," Mirajan said, bowing her head.
Lucy looked at Mirazhen's gloomy expression and laughed, "There, Sister Mira, how can I be angry with you if you are so gentle and kind, besides, I just have a good impression of Ah Xiu, there is no matter whether I like it or not, Sister Mira, I agreed to your matter, and I will spy on him when he wakes up" Lucy smiled.
"Thank you, Lucy," Mirajane looked up at Lucy.
"Haha, we can sense each other, it's like sisters, there's a need to say thank you, but, I didn't expect me to be a spy one day" Lucy smiled "Are you afraid that Ah Xiu and Lishana will leave, Sister Mira, I'll take a good look at him" Lucy said in her heart.
"I really don't know, Ah Xiu, when will I wake up," Mira Zhen said with a sigh.
"Don't worry, didn't Natsu say it, he won't fall like that, by the way, Sister Mira, is this what you're looking for me?" asked Lucy.
"Not really, I just called you here to find out what the tricolor chain is all about," Mirajan said.
"I know that the tricolor chain was bought for him by Ashu's father, but I don't know other than that, I didn't expect Sister Mila to say these things in your heart," Lucy said as she looked at Mira Jane.
"Uncle Ollie?"
"Hehe, but that's why we get to know each other," Mirajan laughed.
"Know each other?" Lucy whispered, as if remembering something.
"Sister Mira, I have one more thing to say," Lucy said as she looked at Mirajan.
"Oh, isn't it possible that Ah Xiu is taking advantage of you, hehe" Mirazhen smiled as she covered her mouth.
"There's there, not anymore except that time, and I'm going to say about me, because of what you just said, Sister Mira, you know each other, and I must tell you," said Lucy.
"Oh, yes, then I'm going to have to listen to it," Mirajan said with a smile.
Lucy looked around. When he realized that there was no one, he fell into Mirajan's ear and whispered, and then Mirajan's eyes grew bigger and bigger, and her mouth opened wide.
In a treehouse in the woods east of Magnoria
"Makanov, what are you doing here?" it was an old woman, as old as Makanov, and what stood out was her pink hair, which she thought was a young girl without paying attention.
"Polyusica, I came to show you this child," Makanov said as he looked at the old woman in front of him.
"It's just a coma, the hospital can treat it," Polyusica said, glancing at it.
"If only it were that simple, this kid was in a coma under the influence of the Soul Swap magic," Makanov said.
"What?," Polyusica said in surprise.
"That's why I'm looking for you," Makanov said.
"What about the other person who was exchanged for soul," Polyusica asked as she looked at Qin Xiu, who was placed on the bed by Makanov.
"No, it's the soul of several children, only this child has a problem, the other children are fine, and because of the three-color chain, the soul change is even more unbalanced," Makanov said.
"The tricolor chain, the necklace that attracts the soul?" asked Polyusica.
"Hmm," Makanov nodded.
Polyusica calmed down for a while, and suddenly roared angrily, "Makanov, you stupid, you actually let children play with these things, stupid, stupid, you get out of here......" Polyusica picked up a broom and drove Makanov, trying to drive Makanov out.
"Wait, I'll get out, but you've got to get me done," Makanov said, grabbing the broom.
"Get out of here," Polyusica roared.
"Here's how it is......" Then Makanov told him the whole story, and now waited in the treehouse for Polyusica's words.
Polyusikatsa looked at Qin Xiu's physical condition, glanced back at Makanov, and said lightly, "Indeed, a small part of this child's strength has disappeared, and that small part of the power is the core spiritual power of this child's power, because of the influence of soul change and three-color chain, it was unconsciously transferred, this child is asleep, and when his mental power recovers, he will naturally wake up."
"Well, that's great, how long will it take to wake up?" asked Makanov.
"Didn't I say it?" said Polyusica, roaring again.
"Okay, I'll get out, that kid?" Makanov said as he looked at Qin Xiu.
"You don't have to worry about the kid, you get out of here," Polyusica picked up a broom and waved it at Makanov.
"Okay, I'll leave right away" Makanov looked at Qin Xiu on the bed and left the tree house helplessly, looking at the tree house in front of him "It seems that it is more serious than expected, otherwise I won't leave Ah Xiu" Makanov sighed and turned to leave.
Inside the treehouse
Polyusica looked at the stunned Qin Xiu and frowned, "Legend has it that the only magic is the only one, and it has become thousands of magic today, and this child's flame is a flame that shows the nature of a flame with a magical nature, and the lost power is similar to the gift of light magic, this child's power is actually the power generated under his powerful soul, and what is lost now is not only the consumption of strength and spiritual power, but also the injury of the soul, which is the real reason for the child's coma." ”
"Turn your soul into hope and give it to others, then those two children must have this child's flame, this power is the light under the darkness, Cui Yan? To be precise, it should be the flame of life," Polyusica looked at Qin Xiu and said.
"Flame, light, yes, isn't fire used to dispel darkness," Polyusica sighed and said lightly.
"Kid, I hope you wake up sooner, your friends are waiting for you......"
"Makanov, didn't you get out of here," Polyusica yelled as she looked at the treehouse.
The treehouse door is opened, and a shadow appears.
"Who are you?" asked Polyusica as she looked at the figure and frowned.
