The evening sun shines on Magnolia, and the streets of the houses reflect a dazzling golden glow.

In May, the air in this town starts to heat up, and even though the sun is about to set now, the feeling of dryness on your skin still makes you feel hot and dry in your heart.

This kind of temperature can be called a kind of training for people who like cold and are afraid of heat, a kind of training that challenges the ability to withstand heat.

Gray felt that way.

As a person who has to undress from time to time all year round, his tolerance to the heat can be described as extremely poor. Even if there was a lot of wine in the guild today, it was volatilized unconsciously, so I only felt extremely thirsty at this time.

Because he was on the street, he couldn't take off his clothes and run naked, otherwise tomorrow he would receive complaints from the townspeople, and then there would be a scolding from Makarov, and he didn't want to be angry.

Walking alone on the way home, feeling the residual heat of the setting sun on his body, Gray's heart was extremely heavy.

There is no doubt that this heaviness comes from Jelf.

It's been so many days, and Gray hasn't broken free from his depression and distress, and on several occasions, he wonders if he's been too aggressive, after all, Jeff himself doesn't have much direct hatred for him.

Besides, he hadn't forgotten what Kira had told him at the beginning, "Natsu is the end, and Jelf's life and death are related to Natsu's life".

】

In order to take revenge on a Jerf who has no direct hatred, and thus cost Natsu his life, he would never do such a thing, unless their relationship is broken, which can still be considered.

"It's been more than a year since the reckoning, and I don't know how Kira studied that book......

How's the research going?

Answer: Yes completely...... Wrong wrong...... It's almost...... Well...... A little bit! He only studied a little bit and didn't continue.

Not because of lack of ability, but because he has other important things.

Right now, for example, he's concerned about something very important!

"What's going to eat tonight?"

Even after living in this world for more than 20 years, Kira has always remembered the sage quote that 'the people take food as the sky', so he attaches great importance to eating.

"Why don't you just go to the ramen restaurant in front of you? But it's easy to get hungry when you eat ramen at night...... Or eating? But I just ate a lot of snacks at the guild...... Or go home for a snack? No, no, it's so unhealthy......"

Kira put her hands behind her head and thought of several dinners in a row, but in the end she was denied.

Suddenly, as he looked around, he saw a figure with a very unjust and bright demeanor.

"Ahh It's a nymph...... No, it's Jubia!

”

Jubia was hiding at this time, hiding under the wall of a certain building like a stalker, poking out a blue head, and adjusting the detection function of love radar and eyes to the extreme,

"What is she doing in hiding like this?"

Saying so, Kira knew that the answer to this question was not difficult to guess, because there was only one person in the whole world who could make Jubia do this.

Sure enough, following her gaze, Kira spotted Gray's melancholy figure.

Syllable!

Kira walked over and tapped him on the shoulder and shouted, "Follow Gray, Jubia!" ”

"Yi ——!

”

His whole body was focused on Gray, and Jubia, who was in a state of declining change around him, screamed directly.

Gray, who was walking towards his house, suddenly paused, turned around and looked behind him suspiciously, but there was nothing special except for a few ordinary passers-by.

"Is it a delusion?"

After muttering to himself, Gray continued.

Behind a wall not far behind him, in the shadows, Kira slowly let go of the hand covering Jubia's mouth.

Kira wanted to tease her, but the first thing Jubia said made his face darken.

"What are you doing here, Kira?"

"Jubia, there's already Master Gray!"

After that, he proudly brushed his hair, looking like a 'I can't get the woman' arrogantly.

Kira: "......"

"Less narcissism! Gray hasn't said he likes you yet, don't you know to find your own problems? ”

Is Jubia pretty?

Even Kira, in my heart, I actually think she is very beautiful, especially after the former guild closed down, and after jumping to the current guild, her appearance is getting higher and higher day by day, especially after she has long hair.

But you can't lose the quarrel!

So after Jubia said that, Kira could only answer like this.

The young people of the guild now...... This emotional intelligence still needs to be improved, and it should be practiced more!

Kira's words were very effective, and Jubia's momentum wilted at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the whole person suddenly became depressed, and lowered his head and fell into reflection.

I shouldn't say it's heavy, right?

Kira pondered for a moment and came to the conclusion that the damage of his words was light! If Jubia's mentality in pursuing Gray is because of this sentence, then this ability to resist pressure should also be tested.

"So, you were just stalking Gray?"

"Yes...... It's ......"

"Has he been in a bad state lately?"

"Did you notice Lord Gray's anomaly too?"

Jubia raised his head again and looked at Kira in surprise, "In the past two days, Jubia has made a bento for Lord Gray, but Lord Gray has not even refused!" ”

"It's not normal to be rejected...... What?! He didn't refuse?! ”

Kira, who reacted, gasped directly, and looked at Jubia with wide eyes in disbelief.

"Yes! Not only did Mistress Gray eat all the bento boxes made by Jubia, but he also smiled at me very gently and said, 'Thank you, it's delicious!'" ”

Recalling Gray's smile when he said these words, the fawn on Jubia's chest began to thump and laugh stupidly, and the whole person turned pink in a state of love.

"Did you just say that? Could it be that you didn't hear the 'don't do it again next time'? ”

"Not really!

”

"Isn't that a good thing? Maybe that guy Gray has finally figured it out and plans to accept your confession from Jubia!

”

It wasn't Kira who said this, but Harpy, who came out of the side at some point.

“……”

The air was suddenly silent for seconds.

Kira turned her head stiffly, only to realize that Natsu, Lucy and Harpy, Elusa, Wendy and Charlulu had arrived at her side, and at this moment Harpy still looked like she was eating melons, fluttering her snow-white wings, flying comfortably in the air.

"When did you guys come out?"

Do these people walk so quietly? Why didn't they find out that they had this talent before? By the way, it must be because these guys usually do everything in a hurry.

"From the mention of the word 'bento' by Jubia!"

Lucy's eyes lit up excitedly, her face was full of gossip, and she didn't have a ladylike image: "Let's talk about the back, I can't wait to hear it!"

”

Kira looked at Lucy's expression and confirmed what she was thinking: sure enough...... Eat melons regardless of gender, age or gender!

But compared to Kira, Jubia's 'love enemy detection radar' immediately became alert: "Huh?? Could it be that Lucy wants to inquire about the taste of Lord Gray's favorite bento through Jubia? Jubiah won't tell you!

”

Lucy rolled her eyes speechlessly, waved her hand and said, "You're too worried, I definitely don't have this plan!"

”

After confirming several times and making sure that Lucy would not take this opportunity to attack Gray's taste buds, Jubia was very reluctant to speak his opinion.

"If it were normal, I would be very happy, but this time is different!"

Jubia confidently straightened his back, his eyes emitting an astonishing gaze, like a detective.

"This time, Master Gray smiled reluctantly, and Jubia could see that it was a false smile that he didn't want others to perceive his true emotions, so he used to disguise it!"

"Lord Gray must have some trouble in his heart!

”
