Chapter 115 An Encounter with Juvia
After a period of playful fighting, as darkness fell, everyone ended their discussion about Lucy and the Heartfilia Foundation, and left the construction site one after another to go home.
Because they lived very close by, Lucy approached Chase and expressed her desire to go back together.
Of course, this is just an excuse.
As night falls, it's still that wide street near the city's canal.
The blonde girl spread her arms to maintain her balance and wobbled forward on the riverbank, followed by the sick Canis Minor Pru.
"Hey, cute little girl, please be careful!"
The local fishermen appeared on time like NPCs, shouting reminders as they passed by on the river in their fishing boats.
"Okay, kind old man!"
The Dark Magician Girl flashed her signature peace sign and waved her arm at the other person with a smile.
Then, due to carelessness, he slipped and lost his balance instantly, falling carelessly into the city river.
Fortunately, she had a flash of light and transformed into a pink streak of light, returning to her original position in time.
The kind-hearted fisherman was dumbfounded.
"That idiot—"
Walking behind, Chess sighed, feeling utterly embarrassed. He then turned to Lucy, who was unusually quiet beside him. "Lucy, you didn't just offer to come back with me because it was on your way, did you?"
Lucy seemed a little distracted, paused for a moment, and then nodded in reply, "Huh? Yes!"
Throughout her journey, she had been pondering what methods Chess had used to bring about such a dramatic change in her usually strong-willed father, Judd.
No matter how I thought about it, I couldn't find a reasonable explanation—it couldn't have really been Chess who beat him up, could it?!
"So, Chesgo, did you go to Heartfilia's mansion today?" Lucy asked tentatively.
"That's right. Even if it's your father, he deserves an explanation for what he did to the guild!"
Chess clenched his fist and admitted, "Judging from what Natsu and Erza said, it seems that Judo took my words to heart."
Since Lucy was able to ask this question, there is no doubt that Jiude must have told her something.
"What did you say? Chess, what exactly did you say to your father?" Lucy couldn't help but ask.
"Well, let's talk things out. After all, he's the richest man in Fiore; we can't just settle things with fists, can we?"
Upon hearing this, Lucy suddenly looked up and stared intently at Chase.
Her beautiful, big eyes were filled with doubt, as if to say: I don't believe you!
The original Jiude couldn't even be bothered to pay attention to her own daughter's thoughts, so how could she be swayed by just a few words from Chase after their first meeting, and even have her personality and temperament change so much!
However, this wasn't the part that truly troubled Lucy along the way, and she didn't want to delve into the details.
Instead—.
"There were clearly easier ways to solve this, Chesgo, why did you go to such lengths—"
Lucy stopped and buried her head in her chest, gazing contentedly at the neatly laid floor tiles beneath her feet.
After spending some time with him, she knew Chess's personality very well. He was the type who would rather fight than talk back; if he disagreed, he would just do it.
Even if the other party is the Heartfilia Foundation, which has a great influence in Fiore!
In fact, Lucy already had the answer in her heart. However, having lost her mother at a young age and grown up in a cold and ruthless family environment, she didn't know how to face the happiness that kept welling up in her heart.
In the silence, Lucy felt a heavy touch on her head.
"Silly girl, it's because we're siblings!"
"Giving Judo a good beating would indeed be the most efficient solution, but then you'd only have to choose between Fairy Tail and Heartfilia."
Chess ruffled Lucy's hair and chuckled, "That would definitely be painful, wouldn't it?"
Although she had already guessed the answer, Lucy still couldn't help but feel a lump in her throat and her eyes immediately welled up with tears when she heard Chesgo say it himself.
Seeing this, Chess quickly withdrew his hand and shouted to the Dark Magician Girl in front of him, "Dark Magician Girl, hurry up!"
"learn!"
The dark magic girl, who had been silently observing the situation, immediately understood and skipped over.
Before Lucy could react, the girl's slender, white hands had already reached under her armpits and started tickling her.
"Wait, wait, Dark Magician Girl, what are you doing? Aha, it tickles! Ahaha, stop it now!"
Lucy was bewildered by the Dark Magician Girl's sudden "attack," twisting her body to dodge while laughing involuntarily.
Tears, whether from joy or sorrow, welled up from between her squinted eyes.
"Hahaha! That's more like it! A happy ending is something to laugh about!"
Chess crossed his arms and watched as the two cute blonde girls playfully pushed and shoved each other.
A girl's tears are much harder to deal with than a fierce and terrifying enemy!
For Lucy, today is destined to be an unforgettable day.
The next day.
The reconstruction of Fairy Tail is proceeding at a rapid pace, as always.
The world of magic is built incredibly fast; in just two or three days, the first floor of the new guild has already taken shape.
The core load-bearing walls and columns rose from the ground, and neat scaffolding was erected around them, ready to begin the next step of the process.
After a good night's sleep, Chase got up early and practiced God-Slaying Magic in his deck space for a while before leisurely heading to the construction site with light steps.
Even before they arrived, they could hear Natsu and Gray arguing inside the fence from a great distance.
In a dark corner of the fence, not in a noticeable way, Chase noticed a figure that was constantly wriggling.
"Ahhh, Juvia's forehead looks like it's next to Lord Gray's!"
Dressed in blue, Juvia was crouching there with a lunchbox in her hand, her eyes gleaming as she peered through the narrow gap at Gray in the distance.
"Oh really? And then?" Chase asked.
"Then, at such close range, their lips would inevitably touch, and then Juvia could stick out her tongue, right?!"
Juvia, lost in her erotic fantasy, suddenly snapped back to reality. The moment she turned around and saw Chase, she was so startled that she quickly moved several steps away.
"You, you're Chase, the one who fought against Guild Master Joseph?!"
Those loving eyes were instantly replaced by intense wariness: she was no match for this powerful man...
"Don't be so nervous, we're not enemies now."
Seeing that Juvia still looked like she was facing a formidable enemy, Chess casually waved his hand and laughed, "Don't worry, since you're Gray's girlfriend, you're also a member of Fairy Tail."
"Girlfriend? Lover? Wife? Mother of thirty children?!"
Upon hearing the word "girlfriend," Juvia, who had been on guard just a second ago, froze instantly, her face turning bright red and steaming.
Then, with a "thump," she fainted, her face flushed with blissful infatuation.
"." Chase's lips twitched twice.
This reaction is even more exaggerated than I imagined!
