Chapter XXVIII

Settling Wendy is very simple.

Because she is still too young, although she is also a magician, she is introverted and gentle, simple and innocent, and she can't take care of herself yet, so she can only live with Kaede Night temporarily.

At this time, little Wendy is no worse than Mebis when she was a child, but compared to the strength of Mebis when she was a child, she is still a crybaby.

Although she said that she would become a strong magician, after she couldn't meet Grandini, her dependence on Grandini was all transferred to Kaede, and she almost followed Kaede Ye an inch, and at first she was even a little afraid of Elusa and Jubia.

Because she is cute enough, Kaede Ye doesn't mind experiencing the feeling of 'father' for a short time, although he also has two daughters, Lilith and Liana, but they are growing up too fast, and they have great strength and cognitive abilities since birth, and soon have a fairly mature mind, which is completely different from Wendy.

……

Two days later.

As soon as he woke up, Kaede opened his eyes and sat up, stretching his body leisurely.

His bedroom was a spacious room, but instead of a bed, it was made directly on the floor.

Looking next to him, he could see that less than a meter away, there was a large and obviously small bed, and Wendy was curled up in a cute ball lying there, sleeping gracefully.

Originally, Kaede Ye had a separate room for her, but she only slept for less than half an hour before she ran to Kaede Ye's room with her bed, she had never slept alone with Grandini every day since she was a child, and she was even a little afraid of the dark.

Kaede smiled and allowed her to lay on the floor next to her.

As if hearing the movement of Kaede getting up at night, Wendy's lovely eyelashes twitched twice, and then opened her sleepy eyes little by little, rubbed her eyes and sat up.

"Morning ...... Good morning......"

She greeted Kaede Ye obediently.

"Early."

Kaede Ye responded casually, then stood up, a flash of light appeared on his body, and the blue-and-white striped pajamas were replaced by a magic robe.

Wendy blinked in surprise slightly, but when she thought that Kaede was a magician, she quickly showed a well-behaved and warm smile and got out from under the thin blanket.

Push open the bedroom door.

Jubia came early today, and unexpectedly even Elusa was outside, the two of them had already prepared breakfast, and when they saw Kaede Ye coming out, they both greeted Kaede Ye.

"Why did you come to me for breakfast?"

Kaede looked at Elusa's easy-going opening.

Elusa sat down at the dining table, smiled slightly, and said, "I'm going out today to carry out a commission, and it may take many days to come back, so I'd better come to say hello before leaving." ”

Kaede nodded gently and said, "Pay attention to safety." ”

"Hmm."

Elusa nodded, then looked at Wendy who walked out behind Kaede Night, and greeted her in a friendly manner, "Morning, Wendy." ”

Wendy responded timidly and softly, "Morning...... Sister Elusa...... Sister Jubia. ”

Feng Ye watched several people sit down at the dining table, and said with a gentle smile: "It really feels like a family of four." ”

When Elusa and Jubia heard this, they both showed a look with a little warmth, one of them had been an orphan from the beginning, and the other parent had been dead for a long time, and home was already a bit distant for them, and the feeling of being able to experience it was naturally very warm.

Elusa looked at Wendy next to her and smiled at Wendy, "From now on, treat the guild and this place as your home, Wendy." ”

She'd also heard from Kaede about Wendy's situation.

"Well, Sister Elusa."

Wendy's cheeks had a little warm and cute flush, and now she had gradually gotten used to it, and although she was still timid and scared, Elusa still had a sense of friendship in her.

Jubia looked at Kaede Ye and whispered, "Lord Kaede Ye, that ...... Jubia also took a commission, and he also had to go out for a few days before he could come back. ”

"Well, you're all on the safe side."

Kaede Ye smiled casually and said, "It just so happens that I plan to take over a commission today and bring Wendy with me to let her know more about this world." ”

After breakfast, Kaede Ye briefly parted ways with Elusa and Jubia, and then took Wendy to the guild and carried her straight to the second floor.

Although it is forbidden for a magician who is not at the S-level to step on the second floor, he is naturally not limited by Kaede Night, not to mention that Wendy's current age is not so much a magician, but a little Lori who needs to be raised a little more.

"It's not here yet."

After Kaede Ye walked up to the second floor with Wendy in his arms, he glanced at the bulletin board on the second floor, then withdrew his gaze and walked to the table not far away and sat down.

Wendy lay in Kaede's arms, poked out half of her little head and looked downstairs, curiously looking at the other magicians in the guild, and happened to glance at one of them, and she was a little timid and scared, she immediately shrank her head back.

It was around this time.

In front of the counter downstairs, where President Makarov was sitting, a flame suddenly burst out in front of him, and a scroll appeared in the flame.

Makarov narrowed his eyes and took out the scroll, and after a cursory glance at the contents of the scroll, he took a puff on his pipe, and then slowly walked up to the second floor, gluing the scroll to the commission board on the second floor.

But.

Before he could glue the newly arrived commission, Kaede Ye beckoned, and the commission flew out of his hand, spun around in the air, and fell into Kaede's hand.

After a symbolic glance, Kaede Ye stood up and said:

"I've taken the commission."

"Don't take any requests randomly......"

Makarov glanced at Kaede Ye and said, "Are you confident?" ”

Kaede Ye smiled casually and said, "No problem." ”

This order is S-level, but the mission above is not a crusade mission, but a 'healing' mission, and the request is to heal Layla, the mistress of the Hatfilia family, a large consortium of the Fiore Kingdom, and it is stated that she is suffering from a severe lack of mana.

The reason for the lack of mana is naturally the side effect that she forcibly opened the door of the Eclipse Star Spirit with her own magic instead of the missing Aquarius Key a few days ago.

In fact, there are very few people in this world who can cure severe mana deficiency, and Makarov knew at a glance that this was quite troublesome, and even Pollusica might not be cured.

And that's exactly what happened.

Under the normal direction of the plot, even with the huge financial resources of Jiude, he issued an S-class commission nationwide to solicit a powerful healing wizard to treat Layla, but it still failed to save Layla's life, and the star spirit magician finally died of illness soon after.

There are not many people who can cure severe mana deficiency, and there happen to be two here, one is naturally Kaede Ye himself, and the other is Wendy in his arms.

Wendy's Sky Dragon Slayer Magic can cure severe mana deprivation.

Even though she was far from being a full-fledged dragon slayer wizard by now and couldn't cure Layla, it was barely enough to alleviate Layla's symptoms and prolong her life.

"Then please, the Hatfilia family is quite rich, and if you have a good relationship with them, you may be able to receive more commissions with a lot of money in the future."

Makarov spoke kindly, then walked downstairs with his pipe in his mouth.

Wendy, who was lying in Kaede's arms, poked her little head, looked at the order in Kaede's hand, showed a thoughtful look, and said, "Mana deficiency disorder...... Grantini told me how to treat it, but ...... My abilities may not cure severe cases......"

Feng Ye smiled, touched her little head, and said, "Don't worry, I will also use a little bit of healing magic." ”

Wendy knew that it was a commission to treat the patient, and she also showed a more serious and solemn look, and said, "Well, then let's go now?" ”

"Let's go."

Kaede Ye stood up and pressed forward with one hand, and the space folded silently in front of him, as if there were mirrors placed on both sides, and layers of portals appeared.

Kaede Ye held the order in his left hand and Wendy in his right hand, and walked directly into the space door, disappearing on the second floor of the Fairy Tail Guild.

……

Hatfilia Manor.

The space folds somewhere in town, and a space door appears, and then Kaede Ye pulls Wendy out of the space door and steps onto the streets of the town.

"It's so beautiful here."

Wendy followed Kaede's side, looked around, showed a happy look, and then looked ahead, "Was that space magic just now?" I've heard Grandini talk about it. ”

Kaede responded casually, "Yes." ”

Wendy withdrew her gaze from the manor in the distance, looked up at the town ahead, and said, "Is the Hatfilia family mentioned above in the town ahead?" ”

"No, this is their family's estate, and the whole town is there."

Kaede smiled and walked forward with Wendy, all the way to the center of the Hatfilia family's manor, which looked very elegant and beautiful, but as soon as you got closer, you could feel that there seemed to be a tense atmosphere throughout the manor.

In the courtyard, you can even see some doctors in white doctors' uniforms, discussing something with solemn expressions, but in the end they all shake their heads and sigh helplessly.

"Hello, may I ask what you are ......"

As Kaede approached, a housekeeper walked over and asked Kaede Ye.

Kaede Ye gestured to him with the commission in his left hand, and said, "I am the magician of Fairy Tail, and I took the commission you issued. ”

After the housekeeper was stunned for a moment, he glanced at Feng Ye slightly, and saw that Feng Ye was too young and still had a little Wendy, showing a little suspicious gaze, but still bowed to Feng Ye and said:

"Please follow me."

The butler took Kaede Ye into the manor and walked all the way, and soon came to a very rich and luxuriously decorated door and stopped, nodded at Kaede Ye and Wendy:

"Please wait here for a while."

With that, he knocked on the door and walked inside.

A moment later.

The door was opened, and an old magician about sixty or seventy years old, dressed in a magic robe, came out of the door, shaking his head as he went, and there was a helpless look in his eyes.

The butler who walked out behind the old magician also looked a little depressed, this was already the first batch of magicians who came to the door for treatment, but after checking Layla's condition, the explanation given was exactly the same, that is, it was too serious to be cured.

"I'm very sorry for the two of you, Madame said that she was tired and wanted to rest for a while, so please go to the side hall to rest first, and then I will see you later."

The butler spoke to Kaede and Wendy with a low gaze.

Kaede Ye didn't care:

"Okay."

Layla's condition was already terrible, but it wasn't much of a problem for him, and it was the same when she started treatment.

After asking Kaede and Wendy to go to the side room to rest, the butler retreated back into the room.

You can see that the room is a very spacious bedroom and a luxurious bed, Layla is lying on the bed with a weak face, and Jiude is standing by the bed with a calm face.

"These junk magicians ......"

Jiude was a little angry and said: "I can't find a doctor who can use it for 15 million J, go and increase the commission fee to 30 million J for me, and give it to me immediately!" ”

"Yes."

The butler sighed in response.

But at this moment, Layla's slightly weak voice came, "Don't waste any more energy, Jiude...... It's a severe mana deficiency, the hardest disease for a sorcerer to cure, you tell Lucy to come over, I want to talk to her. ”

As the most powerful star spirit magician at the moment, she also knew very well how serious her symptoms were, and doctors didn't work at all, even if they mastered healing magic, few could cure this severe mana deficiency.

She had confirmed this after forcibly opening the Eclipse Star Spirit Gate, but in order not to worry the ancestor Anna, she didn't tell Anna until she returned.

In fact, she did not regret anything, because she fulfilled the last wish of her ancestors, fulfilled the meaning of the existence of the Hatfilia family, and also freed her daughter Lucy, so that Lucy no longer had to continue to carry the mission of opening the gate of the Eclipse Star Spirit.

“…… Good. ”

Jiude was silent for a few seconds, and finally slowly spoke, pushed the door and walked out.

A moment later.

A girl with blond hair ran in, and it was Lucy, who was only ten years old.

At this time, she already knew the seriousness of Layla's condition, and stumbled to Layla's bedside, and then sobbed directly, her big eyes full of tears.

"Mom...... They, they say you're sick and you can't be treated, isn't that true? Didn't you say it was just a little cold?! ”

Layla stretched out her hand gently, touched Lucy's head, patted her back, and said with relief: "It's okay Lucy, although I may not be able to accompany you anymore, I will become a star spirit and watch you all the time." ”

"No...... I don't want ......"

Lucy threw herself on Layla and cried.

Layla gently patted Lucy's back, and was about to continue to soothe her, when she suddenly coughed violently, and her face became even paler, revealing a little pain.

"Mom!"

Lucy let go of her hand, showing a panicked look, at a loss for a while, but quickly thought of something, and said, "I, I'll go to the doctor right away!" ”

As she spoke, she ran quickly out the door.

Layla looked at Lucy who ran away, stretched out her hand at her, and said weakly, "Wait, Lucy......"

But Lucy didn't hear it, and ran out.

Lei stretched her hand to cover her mouth, coughed twice, and lay back, looking at Lucy's disappearing back, sighed silently, and showed a little reluctance in her eyes.

Of course, she is not willing to abandon her ten-year-old daughter and die, but there is almost no possibility of curing severe magic deficiency, and no matter how strong the healing magic is, the magician can only alleviate her symptoms at most, and it is already the limit for her to live for a while longer.

She was hesitant to tell Lucy what she had learned from her ancestor Anna, but after much thought, she decided to hide it, after all, their mission of the Hatfilia family had been accomplished.

It's over in her generation, and there's no need to involve Lucy anymore.
