In a small room, a man and a cat were squatting in front of the bed, staring at the sleeping girl.
Chen Xiaopiao rested his chin on his hands and said nothing. Mike finally could not hold it in anymore. He had been unconscious for a day and a night. Could something have happened?”
"It shouldn't be! The doctor said that she was just too tired and would be fine after a short rest!”Although Chen Xiaopiao said that, he was not sure. After all, after Lucy fainted that night, she slept for a full day and a night. This was already the third day!
" But..." Mike was about to speak when he was suddenly interrupted by Chen Xiaopiao," You're awake, you're awake!”
Lucy's eyelids moved slightly. She stretched her body and yawned, finally waking up from her deep sleep! When she woke up and saw Little Drifter and Mike beside her, she could not help but have a curious look on her face. Little Piao? Why are you here? Where are we?" She quickly got up and checked her surroundings.
"You're finally awake, Lucy. You slept for a whole day and night!”Mike said.
"That's right! I was so anxious!" Drifting let out a long breath.
Lucy's mind wandered." We're not in Ebalu…" At this point, Lucy suddenly remembered the ridiculous thing that happened that night, and her face couldn't help but blush.
"Ebalu was killed by Piao a long time ago!”Mike said.
"Eh?" Lucy looked at Piao in disbelief. She had personally witnessed Piao being abused by the South Wolf brothers. How could he defeat Ebalu? "What about the mission?"
"I'll also go and submit the mission. Look, this is the bounty!" Xiao Piao took out a sack of money from under the bed!
Lucy's eyes lit up when she saw the money. So much money…"
"That's right! Lucy, since you're awake, let's go back to the guild!”Piao stood up and urged.
"Yes!" Lucy also seemed to be in high spirits.
The three of them got up and left the hotel that Drifting had rented for Lucy. They boarded the train back to Magnolia.
On the train, Lucy and Drifting were sitting side by side. Mike fell asleep in Drifting's arms! Lucy didn't say anything. She just looked out of the window quietly.
Piao looked at Lucy from the side. He saw her big, sparkling eyes, her golden hair, and the cute braid on her side. Everything seemed so quiet, but it was also extremely beautiful. In the past, Piao was just an otaku. To him, Lucy was just a character in an anime. Although he sometimes fantasized about her, it was completely different from a person who really existed in front of him.
Moreover, he had a deeper level of contact with her. This first impression made Drifting develop a certain attachment to Lucy in the depths of his heart.
While Drifting was engrossed in the book, Lucy suddenly turned her head and saw Drifting staring at her in a daze. She couldn't help but ask,""What are you thinking about?"
"Eh? N-nothing!" Piao hurriedly replied.
Lucy saw the panic on Piao's face and thought that he was reminiscing about that night! Her cheeks couldn't help but heat up. She looked down at the ground and looked very much like a little girl who had done something wrong!
Xiao Piao saw her expression and knew that she must be thinking about the wrong thing. However, he also took this opportunity to see Lucy's opinion on what happened that night, so he asked,"Lucy, that…"
"Uh, what?"
"About that night…"
"Nothing happened that night! I've already forgotten about it. You, you should forget about it too!”Lucy deliberately said it in a very casual manner to hide the panic in her heart.
"S-Sorry!" Chen Xiaopiao felt that he still had to apologize. After all, it was fine if he didn't protect her well, but he even let her do such a thing to him!
"Haha! It's nothing!" Lucy smiled deliberately." You don't have to apologize. Besides, didn't you already kill Ebalu? No one knew about this anyway!”As Lucy spoke, she couldn't help but think of the huge stick that Drifting had. Her face couldn't help but heat up.
"That's good! I thought you would be angry with me and ignore me!”Drifting was finally relieved.
Lucy quickly waved her hand." How could it be? How could it be?!"”However, Lucy's eyes suddenly revealed a wicked smile. She used her arm to clamp Little Piao's neck under her armpit and said with a dark expression,""You mustn't tell anyone in the union about this, or else…"
Drifting was almost suffocated by this, he struggled and said,""Cough cough, I won't, I won't say it, cough cough!”Lucy was really a smart girl. With such a joke, she directly resolved the invisible awkwardness between the two of them. As a result, the two of them went back and forth, causing Xiao Piao to accidentally knock over the luggage beside the seat.
"Huh?" Lucy asked curiously. When you came, you didn't have so many things? Why did he have so much luggage?”
"Oh! These were all gifts for the people in the guild. It was rare for them to complete a mission for the first time, so they had received their rewards!”Drifter explained.
"Is, is it?" Lucy's expression suddenly calmed down.
"What's wrong?" Xiao Piao realized that he really couldn't understand girls.
"N-nothing! I just feel that you're quite thoughtful!" Lucy said slowly.
"Oh! Oh right, I also have a gift for Lucy!”
"Huh? I have a gift too?" Lucy's eyes immediately lit up with surprise, and she looked completely different from before.
"Of course. You're the most important person to me. How can I leave you out?”After saying that, Xiao Piao took out a golden key from his waist and handed it to Lucy." Here!”
Lucy looked at the key and was pleasantly surprised." This, this is the Starsoul Key of the Virgo Palace?”
"That's right! Ebalu is dead, so this key has no owner, so I'm giving it to you! Have you forgotten? I told you I would help you gather the keys to the Twelve Zodiac Zodiacs!”Chen Xiaopiao said proudly," Don't worry! I'm a man of my words. I won't go back on my words!”
Lucy held the Starsoul Key tightly in her hand, unable to say a word for a long time.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
"I'm back!" Chen Xiaopiao pushed open the door of the Fairy Guild and shouted inside.
The guild was still crowded as usual. Naz and Gray were fighting, and everyone was watching happily! It was a disharmonious scene.
When he saw Lucy and Piao, even Naz stopped and ran to Piao." Yo! Little Piao, you're back early!"
"Of course! How could I slander the prestige of our Dragon Destroyer High Mage! After saying that, he put his arms around Naz's shoulders and walked in unsteadily! There was a hint of collusion.
Piao went to the bar counter and sat down. Mila was wiping the cup. When she saw Drifting, she revealed a sweet smile." Drifting, how was your first mission?"”
"Thank you for your concern, Mila-chan. It went very smoothly! Oh right, Mila, I brought you a gift this time. I hope you like it!”After saying that, Drifting took out a sky-blue dragonfly shaped hair clip from the bag beside him and handed it over!
Mira was surprised when she saw the hair clip." This is for me?”
"Yes! I thought that Mila-chan looked cute when she tied her bangs up, so I wanted to buy you a beautiful hair clip. I wonder if you like it?”
After Mila took the hair clip, she looked at it carefully again and again. She couldn't put it down. In the end, she still smiled."Thank you, Little Piao, I like it very much!”After saying that, he put the hair clip on his head and asked Piao,""Does it look good?"
The silver-white hair, coupled with the sky-blue hair clip, looked like a dragonfly resting on Mila's head. Even Xiao Piao was stunned." Beautiful, so beautiful!”
Little Piao was still intoxicated! Suddenly, someone slapped him heavily on the shoulder and he was almost sent flying. When he turned around, he saw Cana, who was drunk!
"You little brat, I was infatuated with you, but you actually secretly liked Mila! I, I won't agree!" Cana burped as she spoke, obviously drunk.
" No…" Before Chen Xiaopiao could finish, Cana shouted,""Come and take a look! The new kid secretly gave Mila a token of love!”
This shout was quite a big deal. The entire Devil's Tail Guild had gathered around him. They were all talking and laughing at Drifting, pointing at him, making him feel very awkward. Even Lucy stood at the side without saying a word, but she seemed a little unhappy.
"Hehe…little fellow, what else do you have to say?”Cana patted Piao's shoulder.
"That's right! Mila is our idol. We won't allow you to monopolize her! Someone in the crowd was filled with righteous indignation.”
"Yes, yes! I won't allow it!" Everyone started to jeer.
Chen Xiaopiao was most afraid of this kind of scene, so he hurriedly waved his hand," No, no! Cana, you're in on it too!" After saying that, Little Piao hurriedly took out a bottle made of wooden barrels from her bag and handed it to Cana. This is the local specialty wine, I brought it for you!”
Cana's eyes lit up when she saw the wine Piao handed over." Little guy, you really love me to death!”After saying that, he took the bottle of wine, hugged Little Piao, and kissed him on the face. He ran to the side, opened the cork, and gulped down the wine.
"You bastard, why are you bringing gifts to all the popular beauties in the guild? Do you want to take them all?”Someone spoke again.
"No, no!" Chen Xiaopiao hurriedly shook his head.
At this moment, a girl with short blue hair looked at Mira and Cana with envy! Her heart was filled with disappointment. However, how could all of this be hidden from Chen Xiaopiao's dog eyes?
He quickly took out a thick and ancient book from his bag and walked up to the girl." Leibi, this is for you!”
Leibi was stunned." Me? Me too?”
"That's right! I saw this book in Ebalu's study. It records a lot about the origins and types of ancient magic. I thought you might like it, so I brought it for you!”
"Ah?" Leibi was truly stunned. She took the book and stood rooted to the ground, not knowing what to say.
"Oh my god! He won't even let Leibi off?" A JET wearing a gentleman's hat behind Leiby panicked.
"Unforgivable, simply unforgivable!”Beside JET, Dolaire also clenched his fists.
Elfman walked over and raised his fist." A man should accept our challenge!”
" What a joke, gunny sack, gunny sack…" Before Chen Xiaopiao could finish his sentence, he was already surrounded and beaten up by a group of men! As soon as he was surrounded and beaten up, new members immediately joined the battle. The guild that was temporarily calm immediately broke into a commotion.
"You damn droopy eyes, you seemed to look down on us High Mages just now, didn't you?”Naz was furious at Gray.
"I'm looking down on you! If you're not convinced, why don't you fight me?”Gray retorted.
"That's exactly what I'm thinking!"
The sound of a crash rang out. All kinds of stools and wine bottles were thrown in. Everyone was fighting from two piles to one pile, and from one pile to several piles. The entire scene was chaotic!
At this moment, suddenly, everyone heard a bang.”This sound was extremely rhythmic. Every sound caused the floor to shake.
Everyone stopped what they were doing and frowned.
