In the future, Lucy gave Fuko a message that gave him at least three options to sabotage the Eclipse plan. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 The first type is the aforementioned destruction of the Great Demon Fighting Exercise, blocking the absorption of magic power by the Eclipse Gate. The second is to protect the magicians who can open the Eclipse Gate, which cannot be opened without them and their Keys. The third is to confirm the exact location of the Eclipse Gate and destroy it completely.

The first two options are not a cure, the first one he has abandoned, and the plan he intends to implement is a mixture of the second and third options, which requires him not to hide the eclipse plan from everyone in Fairy Tail, and he needs someone to protect the current Lucy while keeping an eye on the kingdom's movements.

Maybe it's really fate, now all the star spirit keys in the zodiac are in the royal city. This terrible encounter between the Star Spirit Keys directly led to the opening of the Eclipse Gate and the drastic change of events. In the future, Lucy needs to help Cole change this situation.

Fuko already knew the identity of the magician who possessed the remaining two Zodiac Star Spirit Keys. She is the star spirit wizard Yukino Agulia of the Sword Bite Tiger, who appeared in the duel match of the Great Demon Battle, but lost to the mermaid's heel of the strongest magician Kagura Mikaziqi, so she was expelled from the guild by the Sword Bite Tiger with a style very similar to the "Ghost Dominator", according to Lucy in the future, she is now homeless and has been included in the kingdom's army, so the kingdom is only missing the ten keys in Lucy's hand.

Speaking of which, Yukino Agulia seems to be the sister of his subordinate "Angel" Kuno - as the system says - maybe this would be a good breakthrough.

While pondering these questions, he walked into the alley in front of the hotel, and noticed a man standing at the mouth of the alley, and when he got closer, he realized that it was Lucy. Looking at the outfit on her body, it should be Lucy in the future.

Fuko was a little surprised that the future Lucy was waiting for him here, and when he got closer, he realized that something was wrong with the future Lucy.

She had no feet and floated in the air like a soul. And her body was still volatilizing into firefly-like particles at a visible speed, lighting up the entire dark alley, flying down the cold walls towards the sky.

"What's going on?"

Future Lucy smiled and said, "Didn't I tell you that?" It's dangerous to change your fate, but I'm still a little bit lucky, and I didn't expect it to be like this. ”

"Is it because I changed your fate?"

"It's not you." Future Lucy said, "I let you do it knowing that I would change my fate." ”

"You...... You know that if I go to participate in the Great Demon Fighting Martial Arts today, it will make you disappear, but do you still let me go? Why? ”

"Because...... That's my regret, you don't know how sad we were that day when we didn't wait for you. ”

"That won't make you pay such a price!"

Fuko said angrily with a rare twist on his countenance.

The future Lucy was taken aback by him, but she calmed down and said to him, "I also thought about it all night before I made that decision, and I don't regret it." Because I believe that doing so will bring more happiness to our guild and make me happier now, and speaking of which, I am doing a very selfish thing. I'm sorry, Fuko, for not telling you all the truth. ”

The thing that Fuko fears the most, and at the same time is that others sacrifice themselves to protect him. Now that he had confirmed that Lucy's identity was real, how could he tolerate her doing such a thing?

"There will be a way." He reached out and grabbed Lucy's arm, trying to pull her to Fairy Tail, maybe President Mebis would have a solution, but his hand went through Lucy's body. He couldn't help but stand there in amazement.

"It's too late." Lucy said to him, "And this situation cannot be prevented or reversed, and there is no better understanding of this than that of me." "Her body continued to disappear, and now the part below her waist was gone.

"I want to tell you something, so I've been waiting here. Then, I finally waited for you to come back. To be honest, I'm really scared I won't be able to wait for you. Rest assured, I'm not dead, it's just that I've disappeared from the timeline, and now I'm staying in Fairy Tail's hotel in this timeline, and I should still be laughing happily, right? ”

The part below her chest is gone.

"Looks like time is running out...... I'll cut it short...... That one...... Well, I think you've probably guessed it, and it might bother you, but I rarely have the courage to do that...... I don't want anything, I just want to tell you in person, my true heart, I want you to know that I like you. ”

"I don't know your thoughts as well as Mira, I don't have the same depth of fighting with you as Elusa, and I can't never give up on you like Jubia. But...... But I also have my own benefits...... My benefits...... My benefits...... Well...... I can't think of it yet...... Still, it's good that you know I'm good...... It's true. ”

"Lucy."

"This time it must be ...... Happiness. ”

Future Lucy disappeared from his sight. He didn't know how to describe his complicated feelings.

I know your good, Lucy. Your courage and kindness are your greatest good.

Back at the hotel, Urrutia and Melti had not yet returned, he stood alone on the balcony, feeling the wind blowing in his face, looking at the sparkling lights, and thinking:

Fuko, how much love do you owe to you before you can stop?

On the fourth day, he did not go to the scene of the Great Demon Fighting Exercise. This disappointed many who were expecting him to play. However, the competition and combat on this day were just as exciting, but it did not make them less enthusiastic.

Urrutia and Melty did not return overnight, and Fuko broke into their room, and then saw the message they had placed on the table, and knew that they had broken into the palace without permission. So he could only sneak into the heavily guarded palace in broad daylight.

His purpose this time was to find Urrutia and Melti, so as soon as he entered, he used the alternating state of invisibility and camouflage, and opened the [War Map] to follow their traces. Sure enough, after the [War Map] was opened, he easily found their approximate location.

To his surprise, however, they were located very deep beneath him...... The [War Map] hadn't told him that there was a space similar to an underground passage here.

This made him a little happy, and Urrutia and Melty must have noticed the underground space, and searched it all night to find the whereabouts of the Eclipse Gate.

At this time, the [Void Retreat Beast] has a very important role. Fuko left the palace and summoned her to a secret place near the palace and asked her to dig a passage into the palace's underground space. After a while, she came back with a "quack", and Fuko got into the passage she had dug.

The darkness and narrowness of the passage reminded him of the passage under King Adras's palace...... Sure enough, every royal family has the habit of digging underground palaces?

However, when he reached the end of the passage, he knew he was wrong.

It's a huge space, covered with stalactites and emitting an eerie green glow. He saw the bones of many giant animals, and when he took a closer look, after seeing those very conspicuous symbolic bones, he had to admit that these were all dragon bones!

Unexpectedly, under the royal palace, there would be a cemetery for dragons.

Unfortunately, he was not allowed to stay and observe for a while, because he noticed that the [War Map] showed that there were more than just Urutia and Melti......

The reason why Urrutia and Melti entered here was actually different from what Fuko thought. They infiltrated and were spotted by the palace guards, triggering the trap, and being thrown there.

A stereoscopic projection of the princess of the kingdom also appeared in front of them, a girl with long green hair wearing a jewel necklace, who said, "Intruder, I am the princess of the kingdom, Emerald E. Fiore, and you need to pay for your crimes. This is the place of execution in our kingdom, and there are several executioners who will end your lives. So, here for the final confession. ”

After the girl said this, she quickly cut off the projection, looking like a panicked little girl using this magic item for the first time.

Melty asked, "Uru, is she the silly girl who Lucy said in the future, like the king, who is bent on opening the eclipse gates?" ”

"It's supposed to be her, right? After all, she has identified herself. ”

"It's really pitiful, she doesn't know how much she regrets what she is doing now...... Speaking of which, she seems to say that there are executioners here, who will come and execute us? ”

"Right? Then let them come. We are sinners in the first place, and if we are really killed, it doesn't matter, it depends on whether they have the ability to do it. ”

"What, Uru, don't say such frustrating words, I'll protect you."

"I'll protect you too...... But ah, I'm not afraid of death, because you're right by my side, and I'm afraid of that guy Fuko, who would despise us if he knew that we died in such a place because of the failed invasion, right? I don't want to die being despised by that little brat. ”

"Haha...... Ulu, you only dare to say in front of me that he is a little kid. ”

"Originally, if it weren't for us, would he have been able to cheer up so quickly? Also, he's a lot younger than us, what's wrong with calling him a little brat? Next time I'll call it in front of him, and I dare he don't even snort. ”

The two women were in such a dangerous situation that they both giggled with such ease, as if they were still shopping in the streets of the royal city.
