Fairy Tail: My Magic is Yugi Muto's Deck

Chapter 550 Welcome the Zhang Family, Lucy

Chapter 550 Welcome Home, Lucy

The next day.

A large group of people stood before the luxurious gates of Hatfilia's mansion, which blatantly displayed the word "money."

"Wow, this is amazing! Is this what a rich person's home is like?"

"Gray, what did you say? That whole mountain behind us is Rukie's backyard?!"

"What a man! The sky here feels bluer than outside!"

"Ugh! I hate rich people!"

Hearing her friends' exclamations of shock and envy, Lucy, standing at the front of the crowd, sighed helplessly: "So, why did everyone come along?!"

I thought it would be a trip for two with Chess, maybe with Nazhabi who likes to join in the fun. But to my surprise, almost the entire guild came along, except for those who had responsibilities and couldn't leave!

"Well, I haven't really relaxed since I came back. Anyway, we have plenty of funds, so let's treat this as a special guild event~" Makarov raised his hand, squinting his eyes as he spoke matter-of-factly.

"The public funds are sufficient?" Lucy looked surprised.

Although she hadn't paid attention to the guild's finances, and the guild here wasn't as dire as it was in the future world seven years later, the continuous banquets for several days, coupled with the various matters arising after her return—

No matter how you look at it, there's no way there could be enough to hold such a large-scale group outing, right?

"Hmm? Didn't the old man tell you that?"

Chess said with a smile, "The day after we returned, the Heartfilia Consortium, as an investor, transferred a large sum of money."

Mira, having settled Elfman and Lisanna, came over, affectionately took Chase's arm, and gently rested her head on his shoulder: "So Lucy doesn't need to worry too much about expenses, the most important thing is to have fun~"

Since becoming Chase's woman and learning of his impending marriage proposal, her mindset has clearly changed.

If the previous public displays of affection were more about teasing and flirting with Erza, then this is a genuine and pure expression of love.

Chase didn't speak, but silently savored the faint fragrance that wafted towards him and the soft touch on his arm.

"It means we're taking investors' money and openly going to their house to have fun—and—it's their house! You guys are having a blast!"

There were so many things to complain about that Lucy's speaking speed became incredibly fast.

"Hey Chess, come help me take this box down, it's too heavy for me to move!" Erza's voice suddenly came from behind.

Looking back, the Fairy Queen stood with one hand on her hip in front of a magic four-wheeled vehicle filled with luggage, her eyes fixed on Mira.

Being too shy to be as "open and generous" as Mila, and also very unhappy that Chase was being taken advantage of, she could only come up with this desperate measure.

"What?! A monster that can throw a mountain like a sandbag can't even move a mere box?!"

"This is so fake, Erza!"

As if they had heard some hellish joke, Natsu and Gray slapped their cheeks with both hands and shouted in unison, their expressions and actions quite exaggerated.

"Isn't the main point that the truckload of luggage is ridiculously tall? You don't need to bring that much stuff when you move!" Lucy chimed in.

Erza's face darkened, and with just one look, the three of them quickly covered their mouths, afraid to make a sound.

Adhering to the principle of fairness and impartiality, Chase raised his hand and replied, "Coming."

Just as he was about to turn around, Mira grabbed his arm tightly.

However, before she could even open her mouth with a sly look on her face, Chess hooked his arm around her knee and swept her into a princess carry: "Erza does have a lot of stuff, let's help each other out."

The scene shifted dramatically, and even Mira instinctively gasped in surprise, her face flushing slightly: "I-I know, Mr. Card Dealer—"

He couldn't help but think to himself with disdain: What a domineering guy!

As it turns out, sometimes you have to take a strong stance when dealing with a cunning and shrewd girlfriend.

Elfman stood frozen in place like a small mountain of muscles, staring blankly at his older sister nestled in Chase's arms like a little bird: "Lisanna, I... I didn't see wrong, did I? Is that still our sister?"

"Yes, that's how Mira is," Lisana laughed.

Because she needed to take care of and protect the two of them, Mila had to learn to be strong and mature at a very young age.

Lisana is genuinely happy to see her looking like this young girl.

Just based on this point alone, Chess is absolutely the most suitable candidate for my sister's wife!

"Well, let's ignore those three idiots."

Makarov shifted his gaze from Chess and his two companions, who had begun their busy work, and waved his hand at the restless crowd. "You brats, let's make a scene in this rich man's luxurious estate!"

"Ooh ooh ooh~!" *n

"Don't start a fire for no reason! This is my home, not some tourist attraction!"

Lucy continued to complain, "Oh wait, even at tourist attractions, you can't cause a scene!"

Just as the girl who had left home felt it was necessary to inform her father in advance to be wary of these dangerous individuals, an extremely excited exclamation came from inside the manor.

"Miss Lucy, Miss Lucy is really back!"

The maids in work clothes rushed over, all of them beaming with joy.

As familiar faces filled with memories came into view, Lucy immediately forgot about any premonitions and ran straight to meet them.

"Grandma Stella! And everyone! Sashi Buridana!"

In the blink of an eye, Lucy was surrounded by the servants.

Compared to her previous runaway incident, the servants seemed much more agitated, bombarding her with questions about whether she was injured, had lost weight, and whether she had a boyfriend.

Well, the first question is obvious, but as for the latter two, they're basically like shooting two arrows into Lucy's knee.

Even so, this scene of undisguised concern for Lucy still brought knowing smiles to the faces of all the guild members.

"Lucy."

Soon, a steady voice with a slight tremor broke the relaxed and noisy atmosphere.

The servants made way for him, and in the large front yard, a man in a suit walked briskly toward them.

Not much has changed since two and a half years ago. Jiude still has his neat short blond hair, deep eyes, and a hint of weariness accumulated over the years in his brows.

Despite having prepared herself mentally, Lucy's eyes still welled up with tears the moment their eyes met.

This time, instead of issuing that cold, impersonal order to "make her come to see me," Dad left the dimly lit study and stepped out into the bright sunlight to greet her.

Just like an ordinary father longing for his ordinary daughter to come home from afar —

This is the scene Lucy has been dreaming of before her father and daughter reconcile!

"Dad—" Lucy's voice choked with emotion.

Jiude's eyes were also a little red. He stopped in front of Lucy, slowly opened his arms, and smiled, "Welcome home, Lucy."

"Waaaah! I'm back, Daddy!"

Lucy could no longer suppress her longing and rushed straight into Jude's arms.

The future world—no, it should be said that the "misfortune" that was supposed to befall him—completely dissipated.

Feeling his father's broad and warm embrace, all the pent-up emotions were released at that moment.

Everyone present kept quiet in perfect unison, even Natsu, who always loved to cause trouble, turned into a good boy with his signature bright smile on his face.

"That's wonderful!" Mira exclaimed.

Erza glanced at the suitcase that the wretched white-haired girl was stepping on, but ultimately didn't bother to complain: "I'm even more homesick than I imagined, Lucy—"

Standing between the two, Chess's gaze narrowed slightly as he looked at a large tree in the courtyard not far away, as if sensing something.

The thick tree trunk couldn't completely conceal the person hiding behind it, revealing a glimpse of a pink dress and long brown hair.

The other person didn't notice Chase's gaze, but stared intently at Lucy.

Strange, although I gave Lucy a heads-up beforehand, judging from the timeline, she is now—

Chess thought to himself, "Shouldn't it still be in the form of a normal doll?"
