"Hey, Kira! Do you have any horror stories in your store?"

Natsu and Happy decided to write a book for Lucy, so they called the 'Hope House' and planned to let Kira come up with ideas. However, this naturally playful person and cat forgot the pain after healing, and they didn't know

For some reason, I actually thought of writing a horror book for Lucy.

Seeing their excited expressions, Kira complained: "If you want to give gifts, there are obviously better choices, right?"

Natsu and Happy looked at each other, then both turned their heads.

"But that would be boring, wouldn't it?"

"That's right! Books that are too boring have no commemorative meaning! They must be unforgettable enough!"

"When Lucy was too scared to sleep, we would sneak into her room to scare her..."

"Hey... Is it really okay to say things like raiding a girl's room at night so openly? Natsu!" Kira said, holding her forehead speechlessly, "It's because of you, the innocent and lovely Habi who is such a scumbag.

That’s why I’ll be led astray by you!”

"No! That's what Habi is like!"

"..."

Kira was speechless, clasping the book in his hand on his face and continuing to rest: "It's up to you! If you're looking for horror, just take a look in the book area over there!"

One person and one cat were looking left and right in front of the bookshelf in the store, looking up and down. However, since Natsu and Habib were both illiterate and did not have much research on this subject, not only did they not find the "horror story" they were looking for.

, but it made a mess.

"Natsu, how do you like this book?"

"Not good..."

"Happy, where is this one?"

"It's boring..."

It didn't take long for the library area to become a place where one man and one cat were chasing each other.

Suddenly, Natsu lost his footing and his body hit a bookshelf uncontrollably.

"not good!"

Peng! Peng!

Peng Peng Peng!

!

Rows of bookshelves were like bony Nomi cards, collapsing one after another, stirring up a thick cloud of dust, and Natsu and Happy were naturally trapped under countless books, making them miserable.

"What are you two guys doing!"

Kira's angry shout came, which shocked Natsu and Habi: "It's over!"

"Pack them up one by one according to their numbers, otherwise... you know the consequences, right?"

Feeling the terrifying magic power overflowing from Kira's body, Natsu and Habi couldn't help hugging each other tightly, sweating and trembling: "Yes... we know..."

Half a day later...

"Huh? Hubby, come here and take a look at this!"

Hubby's small body came closer, his eyes full of curiosity: "What is it?"

"This!" Natsu held up a book in the stack with a strange look on his face.

This is a book with a black cover. It looks a little worn, the surface is covered with dust, and it is unknown how many years it has been in existence.

Habi glanced at it and asked doubtfully: "Is there anything strange about this book?"

"Look carefully here!" Natsu pointed at the cover of the book, "Does it look familiar to you?"

Habi followed the instructions and saw a scarlet magic circle painted with unknown runes on it. It was strange, complicated, and layered. Around the magic circle, there were skulls, sickles and other symbols symbolizing death.

, making the entire cover look even more eerie and terrifying.

"Natsu, what's wrong?"

"I can't explain clearly, but I always feel that this magic circle is very familiar, and there is a very strange magic power on it!"

"Familiar? Have you seen it somewhere before?"

"I don't know! Although I am familiar with it, I have no impression at all!"

"When you say that, I feel so familiar! Moreover, it is as clear as engraved in my mind, and I can draw it even with my eyes closed! It's strange, it's obviously the first time I've seen it..."

As the conversation gradually became lowered, the surrounding environment began to become dark, gloomy and strange.

After a long silence, Natsu suddenly said: "Hey, Happy!"

"What's wrong, Natsu?"

Natsu's voice began to sound horrifying: "Look carefully, this magic circle..."

Habi's face gradually began to sweat: "This magic circle...?"

"Could it be that..."

Habi swallowed: "Is this...?"

"Are you calling me?"

A cold voice suddenly rang in my ears, and what appeared with it was a face without a face!

“Ahhhh!

!”

"Appeared!

Faceless man!

!”

The sudden shocking scene made Natsu and Habi furious!

Winter! Winter!

"I asked you to clean up the bookshelf, what are you doing?"

Kira took off his mask and punched the man and the cat out of their fright.

Tears and snot were flying all over Habi's face: "Uuuuuuuuuuuah...Kira, you bastard! You scared the cat to death!"

"

"Okay, okay..." Kira stroked Happy's cat hair happily and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

One minute later...

Kira gently stroked the book handed over by Natsu and said while recalling: "I have an impression of this book. I bought it at the fair when I went to the royal capital of Kurokas to attend a party two years ago.

What I got. At that time, I just thought the magic on it was very weird, and I wanted to bring it back to study it, but later I forgot about it when I was busy."

Under the gaze of Natsu and Happy, Kira slowly opened the magic book in her hand.

There are not many pages in this book, only about thirty, but each page is as thick as a fingernail. On the yellowed parchment, strange dark green words are densely written, and the strokes reveal a sinister atmosphere.

Weird dark magic.

Natsu wondered aloud: "Kira, what is written on this?"

"I don't know! It's a text I've never seen before! I just thought it was too troublesome at the time, so I put it aside."

Hubby stared with frightened eyes: "This is not something that can be safely thrown aside, right?!"

"Then what can I do? I don't know this word...wait a minute!"

Kira's voice made Natsu and Happy's hearts jump: "What's wrong?"

"Look here!"

One person and one cat followed Kira's hand, and there was also a strange line of dark green text there.

"What's going on here...?"

"Here it says [The gears of destiny will be activated at dusk]."

"Eh?! Didn't you say you don't know this kind of writing?"

"I really don't know you! But I don't know why, but I can understand this sentence! It's really strange!" Kira frowned, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Well... maybe this is the kind of person who has certain conditions.

Magic words that only humans can understand!"

When Natsu heard this, he immediately became interested: "Eh?! Is there such a magic? It's so interesting!"

Kira waved her hand: "Oh? It's rare that you are interested. In this case, I will give this book to you."

"Really?"

"Of course!" Kira nodded, and suddenly thought of something, and suggested, "By the way! You can try showing it to others, maybe they can see something too!"

Natsu and Habi looked at each other: "That makes sense! You really deserve to be Kira!"
