Chapter 23: New Member Lucy: Various Speculations
After seeing off Elusa Shukaletto, Naz Doragnier, and Harpy, Fuko circled around the coffee table in the hall of the book house a few times until Miraj Strauss, dressed in clean clothes, appeared in front of him. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Her coat had stained as she cleaned it, so she had to change into a coat that she kept in the closet, but it looked so loose that she looked like a newborn puppy in a large bath towel.
She looked at Fuko for a moment and said, "What's wrong with you, is there something that upsets you, why are you frowning?"
Fuko sat down on the couch and motioned for her to sit down as well, so she sat down against Fuko, staring at him curiously. He told her: "It's not that I'm unhappy, it's just that some doubts haven't been resolved. It was Natsu who had just arrived, Elusa had come to return the book, and Natsu had come to invite me to complete the commission with him, and to find his father, 'Ignir', based on some gossip. ”
"I see, I've heard him talk about it. Miraj Strauss poked his little index finger into his red lips, and his pupils showed a sudden meaning.
Fuko continued: "You know Natsu as a person, although I don't have a deep relationship with him, but I can still see his one-liner style. This time he said that he was looking for his father, and the other party was still a 'fire dragon', and Natsu was raised by a fire dragon, but his identity was a 'dragon slayer wizard'. To be honest, I'm a little confused, and Natsu's expression skills are too poor. ”
"I see what you mean. I've only heard Natsu say it a few times, but I guess I know the inside story. I'll explain it. Natsu is an orphan, that's what he said. He was picked up by the Fire Dragon Ignir as an adopted son, and taught him the magic to deal with dragons, the lost 'Dragon Slayer Magic'. One day, however, Ignil disappeared, and Natsu lost her support, and was invited to the guild by the guild leader. However, after so many years, he has not given up looking for Ignir, because Ignil is a 'father' to him. ”
Fuko was silent, it was the most bizarre story he had ever heard. But strange things had happened to him in the first place, and nothing could shock him if anything happened in his environment now.
"Did you promise him, Fuko?" asked Miraj Strauss, who was most concerned about the question.
"I agreed. In fact, I don't have much reason to refuse. On the one hand, I need to complete the task once a month, and on the other hand, I can return the favor to Natsu. It would be best if he could find his father, but ......"
"But what?"
"To be honest, I don't trust Natsu's intelligence. According to him, 'Ignir, the dragon' appeared in a small town, but I just looked through the recent newspapers and didn't see any reports about it. Anyway, the dragon is a rare creature after all, if he really appears in a crowded town, how can he not be reported?"
"So what do you think...... Natsu is going to be in vain this time?"
"It's quite possible. ”
The evening glow cuts through the windows, and the whole interior seems to be dyed with a layer of retro color. Fuko and Miraj Strauss sat side by side on the sofa, Fuko lowered his head, thinking about something, and Miraj Strauss stared at his side face curiously, and stopped talking several times.
"No matter what the outcome is, I'll go. "It took a long time for Fu Kou to speak. "I'll put his business aside for now. Then again, why did you walk away as soon as they came?"
"Yes, are you too careful?" said Miraj Strauss, stroking his long hair.
"I think so. You should have a good relationship with Natsu and Harpy, and you are often together in the guild. So is the problem with Elusa? You and she did talk at the banquet, but that was when you stirred up the atmosphere, and not much at other times. ”
Miraj Strauss moved awkwardly, but did not stand up, and she was silent for a moment.
"Fuko, if you say a girl so directly, you will be hated by girls. ”
"Will it?"
"Ahh Well, I'll admit, my relationship with Elusa is a bit stiff. ”
"Do you want to tell me about it?"
"A gentleman must learn not to inquire about the secrets of a lady, and we will naturally settle these little things. ”
Miraj Strauss stood up, the smell of perfume in Fuko's nostrils, causing him to swallow a mouthful of saliva. She covered her mouth and smiled, as if to make fun of him, but she quickly restrained her smile and calmly said goodbye to Fuko, politely refusing to let him send her to the guild.
"My words were so direct. Fuko thought to himself. "But I still want to know the secret of that woman's heart, why did she do this at the expense of giving up a high salary, but also juggling the work of the guild and the bookstore, and what did she want from me?"
If you want something, just ask me, wouldn't it be fine?
Fuko is not at ease in his sleep, he just likes to be suspicious and mediocre, but he thinks that by doing so, he can prevent something from happening that is beyond his control. He believes that many unexpected things, going back to the past, may have already had clues, but he just didn't notice it.
When he woke up, he heard someone banging on the door, and when he heard the voice, he recognized Naz Doragnir and Harpy. Naz Doragnir was in a hurry and wanted to leave immediately, so he set the time for the next morning.
But Fuko was not in a hurry, he got up and lazily washed up, and then made breakfast. As he brought breakfast to the table, the door to the library was blasted open, and a flame came in, but fortunately it did not burn the bookshelves inside.
Fuko didn't blink, and while eating breakfast, he said, "Destroy the door, you know, 10,000J." ”
The Fire Slayer Dragon Demon Wizard touched the back of his head and walked over, he said, "I knocked on the door for so long and no one responded, I thought you were attacked by someone from the 'Ghost Dominator', so I forcibly broke in, I really didn't mean to, 100,000J is too much, right?"
"How you raise money is your business, not me. Fuko slapped Natsu Doragnir's hand away as he tried to grab his bread and said, "You won't skip breakfast, will you?"
Naz Doragnir and Harpy said pitifully, "Yes." ”
Fu Kou glanced at them, snorted, and said, "I know, I'll make it for you, but don't ask for this or that, and don't eat the breakfast I made." In addition, all the commissions for completing tasks go to me to compensate me for my losses, understand?"
