Chapter 19: Gray Folpasta

(Thanks to the tips of the two children's shoes of 'The Seventh Sin' and 'xxyunyun'~)

――――――――――

"Actually...... I don't like that feeling very much. ”

Using the identity of the deceased, although he knows that there is nothing, he still inexplicably produces a sense of guilt in his heart.

Lying on the grass, looking at the sky, thinking of what had just happened, Arthur's heart was slightly blocked.

What he did was not wrong, but the feeling of using others in his heart made the boy who was originally a simple otaku a little uncomfortable.

The entanglement of the emperor's heart and otaku personality made Arthur's emotions in his heart feel like a mess at the moment, and he couldn't figure it out.

"If this continues, will I have a split personality?"

The corners of his mouth twitched, revealing a slightly self-deprecating smile, and Arthur lowered his head to look at the golden demon tail logo on his chest.

I don't know how long the silence lasted, the boy raised his head, and the confusion in his eyes was swept away.

"What the hell am I struggling with myself, huh~"

With a sneer, Arthur's body jumped up.

No matter what you think, as long as you do something that doesn't go against your original intentions, you'll be fine.

Shaking his head and smiling, the young man gently removed the blades of grass on his back and walked towards the Demon Tail Guild.

Before he could take two steps, though, his body stopped and his gaze turned to the side.

There, under a big tree, there was a boy about eleven or twelve years old with his hands on his chest, looking at him coldly.

The two looked at each other.

"You're new?"

After a long time, the boy finally fell silent, turned his head and 'cut' and walked up to Arthur and asked.

Arthur couldn't help but laugh.

After all, it is a child, and his heart is definitely not as good as that of an adult...... However, what is this inexplicable hostility?

Arthur touched his cheek, was silent for a moment, looked at the boy's increasingly dissatisfied expression, and suddenly spoke: "Are you jealous of me?" ”

"Huh?" The boy's eyes widened, and his face was inexplicable.

"Well, isn't it...... Is that a child's hostility towards a stranger? ”

Touching his nose, Arthur teased.

The boy paused, then glared at Arthur with an angry face: "Who is a child, you bastard, don't think you're older than me!" ”

"Huh?" Arthur shrugged noncommittally.

"Accept my challenge!"

“…… Ha? ”

Arthur tilted his head and looked at the little boy in front of him.

I could feel the magic in the other person's body, but that amount was not enough. Want to challenge yourself? It's too much to do, isn't it?

His eyes skimmed to the other party's body, and Arthur just wanted to say something, but when he got to his mouth, he froze because of the other party's movements.

I said...... Why are you undressing? ”

"Huh? What are you talking about...... Alas, alas?!!! ”

Looking down, the boy suddenly realized that the clothes on his body had disappeared at some point, leaving only a pair of shorts that still wrapped around the most important parts.

And Arthur, at this time, also saw the blue demon tail logo on the other party's chest.

"I see, Gray?"

"Huh? You know me? ”

"Well, I've heard others say that there's an exhibitionist imp in the guild......"

"Who are you talking about?"

Enraged, Gray didn't think about it, his hands folded, and an ice spear appeared out of thin air.

Arthur didn't move, and the golden light flashed in front of him, and the mighty ice spear turned into crumbs.

"Sure enough, he has a personality that is not much different from that guy Natsu, and he deserves to be a good friend......

Murmuring softly, Arthur stretched out his finger, golden light flickered on his fingertips, and a terrifying coercion broke out in an instant.

Boom~~!

There was a loud bang, as if he had been hit by a heavy object, and the huge coercion directly knocked Gray's body out of the air.

Strong, too strong.

It's a completely crushing posture.

Jumping up from the ground, the young man who had not been hurt because Arthur had left his hand looked at Arthur excitedly, and the light in his eyes seemed to tell the young man's mood at the moment.

That's what it is...... I'm going to go all out! ”

Screaming, Gray folded his hands.

The next moment, the temperature around him suddenly plummeted, and Arthur looked up, and even saw some small ice chips in the air around him.

"Ice Magic?"

Whispering, Arthur couldn't help but laugh at the thought of a certain little Lori who could also do this kind of magic.

Stretching out his hand, the golden power of the royal path flowed in his palm, Arthur looked at Gray and laughed: "Let me see how powerful Ulu's apprentice is, don't let me down, little ghost!" ”

Finally being able to call others a little ghost, Arthur seems to enjoy the feeling.

Seeing the unhappiness on Gray's face, Arthur laughed, and the golden light in his hand suddenly exploded.

Faintly, there seemed to be a golden lion looking up to the sky and roaring.

The terrifying coercion came in an instant, causing Gray's body to tremble as he was standing, and his whole body stiffened, unable to move under this pressure.

If it weren't for the firm belief in his heart, I'm afraid the young man would have been pressed to the ground at this moment.

Even if he didn't, he completely lost the ability to resist at this moment.

Looking pale ahead, the golden light instantly burst into front of his eyes, and the dazzling light made the young man squint his eyes.

"Roar~~!"

A roar resounded through the sky.

Behind Arthur appeared the phantom of a golden lion, a pair of red eyes, flashing with a fierce light, staring at Gray deadly, making the boy feel the urge to kneel.

"How can it be...... Just throw in the towel! ”

Gritting his teeth, Gray closed his eyes, even if his whole body was suppressed and couldn't move, even if the fear in his heart was extreme, he still insisted on standing and refused to fall.

A gentle breeze blew the boy's hairstyle a little.

"Alright, you're qualified."

Although the boy in front of him is much inferior to Ulutia's modeling magic, this unyielding tenacity is much better than that little Lori.

“???”

When he opened his eyes, Gray found that the terrifying coercion and golden light were gone.

Standing in front of him was Arthur, still smiling.

In this case, everyone can see that the person in front of him is merciful.

Gray gritted his teeth: "You're strong!" ”

"I think so too." Arthur smiled, unceremoniously.

Gray's face was black.

However, thanks to Arthur's words, the atmosphere between the two has changed a lot.

"You know Uru?" Sitting on the ground, rubbing his thighs, Gray looked at Arthur next to him and asked.

"I don't know." Arthur shook his head, "But I've heard of it, it's a very powerful magician. ”

"Of course!" Gray nodded affirmatively, and there was a hint of agreement in his gaze at Arthur.

I have to say that children are easy to deceive, so does this make the other party feel good?

"Ulu is the best!"

"Ah...... Perhaps. ”

"Don't you think so, guy?!"

"I haven't seen her before, but look at the other party's disciples......" His gaze swept over Gray, and Arthur chuckled, "It doesn't seem to be very powerful." ”

"You guy!" Gray staggered to his feet and glared at Arthur fiercely.

Arthur was unmoved, still chuckling.

After a while, Gray hung his hand weakly, he knew that the gap between himself and Arthur was a world apart.

However, teenagers don't admit defeat so easily.

"Wait for me, I'll beat you!"

With a fist swing at Arthur, the boy turned and walked away.

He had to work harder to cultivate magic, and then prove to Arthur that ice magic was a very powerful magic, and Uru was also the most powerful magician!

Looking at his back, Arthur shrugged: "Sure enough, a child is a child." ”

It's so simple to be stimulated by myself with the method of agitation...... It seems that it is not very difficult to get the other party to agree with you and surrender.

Turning his head, Arthur walked towards the guild's hall.

Lovely Elusa, it's time to come back now, right? I'm looking forward to what the other party will look like when they see themselves.
