Chapter 440: The New Harvest Ceremony
The influenza did not stay in Magnolia for long, and was finally over before that day came.
Not long after that, the citizens put up lights and streamers, preparing to celebrate this classic and grand festival again - the Harvest Festival - just like in previous years!
The Guild Tavern was bustling with people.
"Did you know? When I left that day, Natsu was sleeping on Lucy's bed!"
"What? Have they already developed to this point?"
"I heard that Selene is still living at Lucy's house. Won't this disturb them?"
"The opponent is a dragon, Natsu should be very happy..."
"Isn't this the third party? Our Lucy's status is extremely dangerous..."
"Don't be ridiculous! This person is the mother of a two-hundred-year-old child! Besides, Natsu only has Lucy in his heart, I can tell that!"
"Come on, you are an elderly uncle, how can you understand the thoughts of young people today..."
The protagonist of their topic, Lucy, was sitting alone at the bar, drinking juice gloomily: "What is going on? Why does it feel like everyone is talking about me and Natsu overnight..."
Listening to her guildmates gossiping about herself and Natsu, Lucy felt shy and angry, but she had to admit that not everything those people said was groundless.
"Ah, don't you know?"
Mira stood opposite her, leaning against the bar and looking at her with a smile, "Kira showed his photo album at the guild two days ago. There are many intimate photos of you and Natsu in it."
Lucy was immediately furious: "What did you say?! Why does that guy have that kind of thing?! Mira-san, what kind of photos are those??"
"Well... they are all 'very ordinary' photos!" Mira's cheeks began to turn red without knowing what she thought of, and she looked away unconsciously.
"A very ordinary photo??" Lucy looked suspicious, "That's not what you said on your expression! You must have kept it, right? Show it to me quickly!!"
"Ah?! No! I still want to keep it... No, I mean, I don't have that kind of thing..."
"Who believes you? You just wanted to say 'keep it'!!"
Lucy didn't believe even a single word of such completely unconvincing words, so she pounced on Mira and started groping for Mira; in daily life, Mira didn't have much fighting power and couldn't resist Lucy at all.
Her movements made her gasp and blush.
As a last resort, Mira shouted for help like her younger brother who had just come over: "Elfman, come and help me..."
Elfman had no interest in intervening in the girls' war. He just stood there and cheered: "Sister, resist like a man!"
Mira's delicate voice came: "I am not a man, I am a weak woman...um...drink...ha..."
"Lucy and Mira are fighting?! This is such a fascinating scene! Get out of the way, I want to watch!! I love watching girls fight!!"
These are old perverts who love to watch the fun.
"What? Lucy and Mira started fighting? Wait for me, count me in!"
This is a straight man who loves to fight.
"You are not allowed to fight! You will make endless noises when the president is away. What does it look like!!"
This is an interesting disciplinary committee.
More than half an hour later, everyone in the guild was picking up the overturned tables and chairs with heavy bags on their heads, while Mira succumbed to Lucy and obediently handed over her treasure.
"I originally planned to wait until you get married before taking it out..."
The words made Lucy's ears burn hot: "Who... who... who is going to marry him? It's nothing! Mira-san, don't talk nonsense!"
Mira looked at her teasingly: "Is this really nonsense?"
Lucy was speechless. She lowered her head and opened Mira's photo album. She saw that the photos inside had been pasted and each one was well preserved. It is estimated that they can be kept for a long time.
In every photo, Lucy and Natsu behave in an intimate manner, and several of them include Happy. The locations where the photos were taken include Lucy's home, the streets of Magnolia, restaurants, and movie theaters.
There were a few pictures of the amusement park and the outdoors. Lucy remembered that it was where she and Natsu worked.
"Awesome! The photos are preserved so well!"
"Right? It's a good shot, right?"
"Hmm..." Lucy nodded subconsciously, and then quickly realized, "No! Now is not the time to marvel! When was this taken... Is that guy a stalker?"
Suddenly, Lucy stopped flipping through the photos. She saw several photos that she had no memory of, but in which she and Natsu were extremely intimate.
"I said, what are these pictures about? I don't remember doing this kind of thing with Natsu!!"
Mira leaned over and took a look. It was a photo of Natsu and Lucy sitting on a deserted street corner, hugging and kissing, and after getting into a red car, the car started to vibrate.
"These pictures... I do find them a bit strange, but pictures don't lie, just admit it!"
What Mira said is reasonable. There are no photos in this world, so the photos are indeed real.
Lucy collapsed and shouted: "This is obviously not me and Natsu! Ah, I know! It must be Lucy and Natsu from Edras, Kira actually used their photos
Defame me..."
Just when she was furious and ready to go to Kira to settle the score, Kira actually appeared first, and Makarov appeared with him.
"Good afternoon everyone!!"
A familiar voice, a familiar accent, and a familiar face. The culprit causing evil in the guild appeared in front of the person concerned without concealment.
"Kira!! You actually show up in front of me like you're okay?!"
"What's wrong?" Kira was stunned at first, then suddenly realized, "Oh, are you angry about the photo? Natsu isn't even angry anymore, why are you angry?"
"Can this be the same? That idiot Natsu..."
"Okay, okay!!" Kira clapped her hands and interrupted her unfinished words, "The most important thing now is not this, but the harvest festival is coming! We must have a good time this year!"
At the mention of the Harvest Festival, the guild fell silent.
I remember that at this time last year, the guild held a grand guild competition in Magnolia. Except for some people who did not enter the top sixteen due to luck and trivial matters, most of the others had a great time.
happy.
"Hey... Kira! Will there be a 'Guild Competition' at this year's Harvest Festival as well?"
"It's called the 'Fairy Tail Magic Tournament'! I will definitely enter the top ten this time!"
"Last year's competition mechanism was very bad. Remember to make major changes this year!!"
After everyone calmed down, Makarov took a step forward, jumped on the table, and announced loudly: "There must be a competition, and it will definitely not be the same mechanism as last year!"
Kira nodded and continued: "That's right! I have already discussed it with the president. This time, we will focus on the battle and not engage in any fancy competition system, so everyone must be careful during this time.
Have a good rest and practice well!"
"Then, there's one more thing!"
Makarov lowered his eyes and shouted, "The first place this time will not only get a solid gold trophy and a lot of bonuses, but also a super grand prize!!"
"Big prize?!"xn
The voices of everyone in the guild suddenly increased by dozens of degrees. The unknown and mysterious reward in Makarov's mouth aroused their curiosity, and they immediately started whispering to each other.
"Will it be a super cool weapon?"
"Is it a dragon egg? I want a dragon as a mount! It would feel so cool!"
"As long as it's not those hospitality tickets from the president..."
Hearing everyone's complaints, Makarov's face was a little confused, and he shouted with a red face: "That's enough! I don't use hospitality coupons to get you all every time!"
Isn’t this because our guild’s funds are insufficient? What happened to the hospitality tickets? The hospitality vouchers were also bought with money! Do you really think that I bought them wholesale from the factory? Besides, didn’t you have a great time too?
Is that right? It’s better for Kira not to bargain with me over the hospitality coupons.
"Kira, come..."
Makarov was about to ask Kira to announce the contents of the grand prize to him, but when he turned around, he found that he was missing.
Where are the people??
The next moment, Kira's voice came from the crowd: "Sure enough... he often uses hospitality coupons to trick us! Last time he used the hospitality coupons for the amusement park, and the last time he used the hospitality coupons for the beach villa, and then
The last time I used..."
Chapter completed!
