Chapter 25: New Member Lucy: Betrayal and Prelude to the Banquet
"Not going back? Why don't you go back? Your father must be worried about your safety, after all, he has always regarded you as a pearl in the palm of his hand. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info" Fu Kou said as he picked up a few newspapers casually, flipped them all to the entertainment section, quickly glanced up and down, and said in his heart, sure enough, it was not so easy to find the information of the man just now.
Lucy brushed her bangs from the front of her forehead and replied unpleasantly, "It seems that you all think that 'he' loves me like a baby...... But it doesn't affect anything, and now that I'm out alone, I'm mentally prepared. I'm not going back. ”
"Really? All right. ”
Lucy hesitated for a moment and asked, "Aren't you going to tell my father about my whereabouts?" ”
Fu Ko raised his eyes, glanced at her coldly, and said, "I don't have such plans for the time being. But if your father pays me, I might leak some information. ”
"You still have this kind of character, you haven't changed at all, you're so vicious......"
Natsu swallowed the last slice of oily meat in his mouth, his eyes curiously scanning over Fuko and Lucy. He asked, "You look familiar, what is your relationship and how did you meet?" ”
Instead of answering Natsu's words, Fuko stood up and patted the crumbs on the corner of his clothes. He said, "Well, Natsu, Harpy, I still have some business to attend to, and after dusk, let's meet at the port of Harugion." Now I'll go first. Ignoring the embarrassed expressions on the faces of the remaining people, he lifted his backpack, put a little money on the table, enough to pay for the meal, and walked straight out of the restaurant.
"Generally speaking, is there such a person who leaves two friends who don't know each other and leaves alone?" The expression on Lucy's face was tangled and helpless, but she could only indulge this man to do such wayward things again and again.
"Since he said he had something to deal with, it should be important." Natsu started eating again, and he looked like he hadn't eaten in days. "Leave him alone, let's talk about your encounter first, shall we?"
Lucy pursed her lips and said, "Meet, it's quite troublesome...... To put it simply, it's him who betrayed us, right? He's the kind of person who betrays anyone for his own sake. You need to be careful, Natsu. She also stood up at this time, with a relaxed expression on her face. Since he hasn't told you, I don't want to say it, because I have a request for him now. So, Natsu, I'll go first, see you next time. ”
"Hey, we'll be there." Natsu was a little reluctant, and even a little annoyed. "He's my favorite partner, and you say he's going to betray us, I can't take that as if I didn't hear that."
It seems that he is an open-minded and straightforward person. Lucy thought to herself, but said, "Well, I apologize for what I said." However, some things are facts, and no matter how much you try to hide them, they will happen. We'll see. ”
On the other side, Fuko was already walking down the street. He questioned a few passers-by, and soon inquired about the small branch of the Magical Council in the town of Harugion. Every town in the Kingdom of Fiore has at least one of these substations in case the magicians need it.
He walked to the wall of the broken little station, looked at the bounty list, and sure enough, he didn't see the head of the purple-haired man just now. He went to the staff of the substation and borrowed from them the list of members of the major guilds, with a large number of photos of the magicians and simple personal information. Because he is a magician of the Magic Guild, he has permission to see these things.
He simply skipped the list of prestigious guilds and put them at the end. He started with a guild that wasn't very famous. He searched for a long time, perhaps for hours, before he found what he was looking for in the dense mass of information.
"'Red Flame' Bora?" He looked at the man on his avatar who was not much different from his current image, and muttered to himself, "This is mentioned that he was expelled from the 'Giant's Nose' Magic Guild for deception and theft...... The magic is 'Red Flame', and now it seems that there are more types of magic 'Charm'. However, it seems that the charm magic that relies on items is forbidden. Hmph, I knew that I should have looked for him from the list of expelled magicians in the first place, it was too much to expect from him. ”
The appearance of Bora made Fujio basically confirm that the so-called "Fire Dragon" information should come from him. However, this Bora should not be a good person in terms of what he has done before, and the despicable behavior he did when they met, and he probably didn't want to do anything good with so many women invited to his dinner, right?
But what does it matter to me? Fu Ko said in his heart. He was able to convince himself of the heroic feelings that were about to be stirred in his heart very easily.
"There are people in the world who sin all the time, and as long as life does not end, sin will not stop. Even if I did something, it was only a short moment in a long time, nothing changed, nothing changed. So what's the point of me risking my life to do such a thing? ”
He simply ate something, and just now he watched Natsu eat, and he really didn't have an appetite. After filling his stomach, he wandered around the town at will. The fishing industry is much more prosperous than the magic industry, and you can see sturdy men dragging fishing nets and little boys carrying small buckets.
Dusk came as promised, and the sky was dyed with romantic golden yellow. During his wanderings, he bought a cheap watch so that he could check the time when he went out in the future. When he reached the harbor of Harugion, night had fallen, and the harbor was empty, and there was no one there. He searched for a while before finding Natsu and Harpy under a statue of a harpy.
"Let's go, Natsu." Fuko said to him, "The information is probably false, and the 'fire dragon' refers to the man in the daytime, not your father. Our goal has been achieved, and it should be too late to take the train now. ”
However, Natsu had no intention of leaving immediately, and he might not even have heard the word "train", otherwise he would have been dazed and wanted to vomit. Natsu had an angry look on his face, which surprised Fuko, who annoyed him, Lucy?
"Fuko, I can't leave yet." The Fire Slayer Dragon Magus said to him, "You know, it's the man in the daytime, and he says he's the one with Fairy Tail." You know, he throws a dinner party in our name, but I've never seen him in the guild. ”
It's really funny to pretend to be Natsu, the "fire dragon". "So what," said Fuko, "are you going to blame him for not inviting you to the dinner?" ”
"Don't you understand?" Natsu let out a voice that bordered on roaring, pointing to the Bora ship at sea, and he said, "I don't know what he's going to do, but I just won't allow him to take on the name of Fairy Tail!" I must not let him go! ”
Harpy spread his wings and nodded approvingly at Natsu's words.
Fuko stared at him and said in his heart, hehe, in a sense, the two of us are really incomparably similar, and we are both so attached to our beliefs.
