Chapter 551 Jiude: My precious daughter has such a fiery temper?
After exchanging greetings, the Fairy Tail members went off to have a great time.
Clearly, rather than spending time with a super-rich man like Jiude who exudes an aura of envy, they were more interested in seeing the place where Lucy grew up, the richest man's courtyard that covered most of the mountain range, and what its structure was.
Although Makarov was also curious, as the guild leader, he couldn't neglect proper etiquette.
So he and a few others, including Chesmira, were invited by Jiude to the castle's reception room, which was decorated in a luxurious and grand style.
"Transmigrated to a future world seven years in the future —"
The hall was filled with the aroma of tea. At the head of the table, Jiude sat with a solemn expression, a flicker of disbelief in the depths of his eyes. "To think you could encounter something so miraculous... truly, you are worthy of Fairy Tail!"
"Hahaha, may I take this as a compliment to our guild?" Makarov laughed heartily.
At the same time, he unceremoniously handed the empty teacup in his hand to Lucy.
Seeing his greedy drinking, Lucy, who was sitting next to Jiude acting as his tea-making assistant, couldn't help but roll her eyes: So the president really likes drinking tea this much?
They must have thought it was too expensive and figured they'd be making a profit by drinking another glass!
Despite inwardly cursing, she still gracefully picked up the teapot and poured the tea.
Perhaps influenced by her surroundings, even without being forced to wear a proper evening gown, she still displayed the manners expected of a young lady from a wealthy family, rather than the loud and boisterous Celestial Spirit Mage from Fairy Tail.
"Lucy, fill mine up too."
Lucy, wearing a polite smile, looked over at the sound and saw Chase holding a huge cup, the size of a bowl, which he had pulled out from somewhere. Her lips twitched, and her teeth turned into jagged lines: "Where did you get such a big cup? This is tea, a very expensive and fine tea that needs to be savored slowly to appreciate its flavor!!"
A moment of silence fell over the entire room, and Jiude's hand holding the teacup trembled slightly.
"Oh dear, the rich heiress has revealed her true colors~" Mira covered her mouth and chuckled.
"That's more like it, Lucy. You seemed so unfamiliar just now." Erza nodded very seriously.
Lucy:
"Speaking of which, Lucy, you've really grown a lot."
Jiude coughed twice, straightened his expression, and pretended that nothing had happened. He sighed and said, "I'm so glad that I didn't go down the wrong path back then."
He was referring, of course, to the matter of entrusting the Phantom Lord to forcibly bring Lucy back.
"Dad, don't force yourself. That was just my usual routine in the guild—" Lucy sighed deeply, rubbing her forehead with one hand.
After hanging out with Chess and Natsu for a while, even an immaculate angel would have to learn to make sarcastic remarks.
Not to mention that's her true nature.
Jiude was taken aback, as if he saw the figure of Leila, who was caught in distress, in Lucy, who was covering her face and sighing.
The old father's lips curled up slightly, revealing a smile that was both gratified and a little ashamed.
What's comforting is that the Lucy of the past would never have presented herself in such a relaxed and casual manner in front of me;
I am ashamed to say that, as a father, I am only now able to see it with my own eyes.
"It's okay. Whether you're at home or in the guild, just be yourself and don't feel any pressure," Jiude said gently.
"Daddy—" Lucy's eyes lit up, deeply moved.
"Hey, Jiude, stop pretending. You should have known what Lucy's situation was like in the guild before we even arrived, right?"
Chess smiled and pointed to a newspaper placed on the lower shelf of the mahogany coffee table.
From his angle, he could clearly see the illustration in the newspaper of Lucy making sarcastic remarks to Nazgajeel, who was fighting with Nazgajeel.
"Haha, Chase's attention is as sharp as ever." Jiude scratched his neat short hair with a bit of embarrassment.
He had originally intended to hide it, but since he had been caught, he decided to stop pretending and took out the newspaper that had just arrived that day and placed it in front of everyone.
The headline read: Shocking! The main members of Fairy Tail, who disappeared for two and a half years, have made a powerful comeback, and what they've encountered is...
Yes, in any world, the shock of bright red always has the effect of attracting curiosity.
However, the Magic Weekly is indeed efficient. The interview was just completed yesterday, and today's newspaper has already appeared at the Kudo family's house.
This also shows how strong Fairy Tail's influence is in Fiore and even the continent of Ishgar—Iso and Sara must have been hyping it up a long time ago!
"Huh? The newspaper? Dad saw 'Watashi' in the newspaper?!"
Lucy, who thought she would be ignored again, was overjoyed and eagerly picked up the newspaper to check it out.
After automatically filtering out "irrelevant" information about Chess, Mira, Natsu, and others, she quickly locked onto her own section.
Then, everything went black.
What the heck is this "Newly Rated S-Class Mage, the Sarcastic One"?!
With a thud, Lucy, her composure broken, slammed the newspaper heavily onto the table.
Its force was so great that it even cracked several small fissures in the solid wood tabletop.
Wadashi is clearly a beautiful and sexy Celestial Spirit Mage. Even if she's not as imposing as Erza's "Fairy Queen," she should at least be a "Celestial Spirit Beauty," right?
That damn reporter who deserves a beating!
Jason, right? Wadasi will remember you!
The gust of air ruffled Jiude's hair, and he was genuinely startled: Was my precious daughter really this hot-tempered?
"Haha, isn't this quite suitable?"
Chase, unfazed, laughed and explained, "Complaining is your specialty, and 'Alien' also has the connotation of 'Celestial Spirit Mage'."
.
"Although, it sounds like she's not very bright," Mira said, tilting her head.
These words were spoken casually, but they made Lucy's expression darken, and she slumped onto the sofa as if all color had been drained from her.
My desire to become famous has completely died.
Just then, Happy suddenly flew in from outside.
"Mr. Najiu, may we use your pillar to sharpen our claws?"
Didn't we already get it done when we came before?
Remembering the scene of Natsu and the others chasing Lucy aggressively to their door last time, Jiude was a little surprised that this blue cat had become so polite, but he still nodded generously: "No problem, go and grind whichever one you like."
After all, they are my daughter's partner, and Fairy Tail is not an outsider, so scratching the surface of the pillar is perfectly acceptable.
"Hehe, did you hear that, Bahamut? I told you you don't need to be so polite with Lucy's dad." Happy turned his head and said to Bahamut, who was not far away.
That person————
Jiude frowned.
As a 24/7 strategic partner, he was quite familiar with the Fairy Tail members, but he had absolutely no recollection of the cold-faced Bahamut.
Seeing the wicked grin spreading across Blue Cat's face, he had a vague sense of foreboding.
The next second, this premonition was confirmed.
"Thanks, then I won't be polite."
Bahamut slowly walked towards the stone pillar, and the magic circle of his raised human arm turned, revealing his true form, a dragon claw comparable to a greatsword.
"Wait, wait—" Jiude exclaimed in alarm.
Unfortunately, it was too late. In the blink of an eye, the exquisitely carved stone pillar had been cut into several neat sections.
Boom!
Stones fell one after another, creating a thick cloud of smoke in the hall.
"Feeding the blue cat, it seems like the building quality of rich people isn't that great." Bahamut stood in the dust, clenching his reflective claws.
"What are you disappointed about? What pillar can withstand the destruction of a dragon!" Lucy snapped back to reality.
Although their time together was short, she already regarded Bahamut as an equal guild member, and therefore showed none of the fear that humans should have towards a dragon king.
However, as soon as she finished speaking, and as the billowing dust gradually dissipated, she noticed a strange young girl sitting on the pile of rubble, her delicate and flawless face filled with panic.
"Wait, that girl is—"
