In the room, after Timaria left, Brandish finally raised his head from the ice cream.

It’s strange, even though I had the starburst ice cream I’ve been craving for and eaten so many potato chips, why do I still feel so empty in my stomach?

Her eyes looked at the Aquarius key on the table, and she fell into the memories of many years ago.

The key to Aquarius is his mother, the thing Gramme cherishes most, which comes from the former mistress of her mother, Layla Heartfilia.

Out of respect for the lady, her mother would take out the Aquarius key every day and wipe it, wash it, and dry it in the sun to ensure that there was no dust on it; and Akuiya was her master...

Her only playmate.

Those days were the happiest days of her life. She had her mother and Akuya, and the three of them lived very happily.

It wasn't until x777, when she was ten years old, that her mother suddenly received a letter from her former master Leila. After that, she hurriedly traveled far away with the Aquarius Key. After a while, a message came from the Kingdom of Fiore.

With the news of her mother's death, the Aquarius key returned to Leila's hands.

From then on, she believed that Leila was the murderer of her mother.

Then, because of her magical talent, she was taught by Olgaste, and with his help, her magic developed rapidly until she became the Twelve Shields.

Brandish suddenly opened her eyes, got up and walked to the cell.

She wanted to have a good talk with Layla's daughter.

…

"Let me... vomit... out..."

Natsu perfectly interpreted what a prisoner should look like at this moment. Although he did this mainly because of seasickness, the continuous wailing sounds really fit the scene.

Gray's head hurt from the noise from Natsu, so he could only tactfully advise Natsu to calm down: "No matter how much you yell at the other party, you won't be able to let us go. I think you should save some energy..."

The calm tone made people suspect that he was not locked up in a prison at the moment, but sitting outside the prison with his thighs raised and drinking juice.

No, none of the soldiers guarding the cage complained like him.

"No! Otherwise, I will spit it out..."

Natsu rejected Gray's proposal. At this moment, he was not in the mood to call Gray 'unreasonable' or 'cruel to his companions' because his physical condition did not allow it.

"Then spit it out!"

"vomit!

"

"I didn't let you vomit on me!

Hey! Hold it! Hold it!"

Gray's expression changed greatly, and he retreated as much as possible, but there was a wall behind him and he had no way to retreat. He could only step on Natsu's face with his foot and press his mouth to the side - there was Erza.

direction.

"vomit!

!…”

Amidst the crackling sound of vomiting, the sour gastric juice and a mosaic of unknown substances sprayed directly onto the clothes Erza had just changed into, and some even stained her cherished long red hair.

my hair!

!

Erza suddenly became furious: "You two are still playing at this time?!"

"Eh!? Playing?! I don't have one... Wait, don't do anything yet..."

"Be serious!

"

Peng! Peng!

"It's finally quiet!"

Looking at Natsu, who was knocked unconscious by handcuffs, and Gray, who had a big bump on his head and lost half his life, Erza sat back in her seat with satisfaction.

She was very measured in her actions. It was Natsu who made the noise, and it was Natsu who vomited on her, so Natsu took the main responsibility and received a heavier punishment; Gray took the secondary responsibility and received a lighter punishment.

"My punishment will not be lighter next time!"

Light? Could you please take a look at the blood stains on the handcuffs before saying this?! Gray almost fainted. Hey!

Even though he knew that Erza had always acted lightly, Habi still looked shocked at this moment, and countless complaints flashed through his heart.

It's a pity that Kira is not here, and Lucy is also wandering in a fugue, so there is no one to complain with him.

Erza muttered in dissatisfaction: "It's true...the clothes I just changed into are dirty again! I can't change now..."

The clothes she wears now were kindly given to her when she was imprisoned in a cage because Brandish couldn't bear that the girls had no clothes to wear. She would definitely not prepare another one in a short time.

Although she felt uncomfortable, how strong was Erza's heart? She adapted to this state after a second: "Forget it, let's consider the current situation first."

The magic of the Twelve Shields of the Saint is indeed powerful. Even if we knew the information in advance, Laxus and I couldn't defeat it. Even if we fight once now, we may still be unable to deal with it again in the future. We are at sea now, Lucy

The key was taken away again, resulting in a direct loss of four combat forces. He and others were also handcuffed with demon-sealing handcuffs...

"This is such a desperate situation!" Erza sighed helplessly.

"But crises are also opportunities!"

Um??

"Are you okay now, Lucy?"

"Yeah! Sorry for making you worry."

Lucy seemed to cheer up, with her usual confident smile on her face, "As long as everyone is still together, everything will be fine. We are the magicians of Fairy Tail!"

"

I don't know if this sentence was cast by Kira's spiritual magic. All the members of 'Fairy Tail' can feel an inexplicable self-confidence welling up from the bottom of their hearts after saying it, allowing them to regain their confidence in desperate situations.

Cheer up.

Sure enough, Erza felt reassured after hearing this, her face lit up with joy, her eyes lit up and she praised: "Well said, Lucy!

I mean what I said just now, ‘Crisis is also an opportunity’.”

"Hehe...this sentence was actually said by Kira~"

"Kira? It's rare for him to say such serious words..."

Now that Laxus was seriously dehydrated, Erza could only stand up from the shortest and discuss the future arrangements with Lucy, who was still mentally sharp.

"What do you think we should do now?"

Lucy thought for a moment and said: "At least we can't fight at sea! Now Laxus, Natsu and Wendy can't fight, and their combat power has been greatly damaged. It would be detrimental to our side if we really fight."

Erza nodded: "You're right! It's extremely difficult to fight on land, let alone at sea. And we don't have a way to deal with those two magics yet! What if we escape?"

"If we want to escape... a warship like this must have a small boat for escape. If we can grab the small boat while the other party is not paying attention, we may be able to escape, but my key bag is still in their hands, I must take it.

return!"

"Their target is the Albarez Empire. They took the shortest road. Our target is also there. If we want to avoid it, we have to take a detour. That will take too long and the supplies may not be able to support it!"

The two looked at each other and sighed slightly: It seems that escape is impossible.

"Speaking of which, we haven't clearly declared war with the Albarez Empire yet, so in principle the two sides cannot be counted as enemies, and there is still room for peace talks!"

"Hmm...that makes sense!

"

"Since these two people have taken us back, there are only two possibilities: torture for information or threat as hostages."

"oh!

I see!

"

"If the Albarez Empire really wants to go to war, it will be a major matter affecting both countries, and we are just a magic guild in the kingdom. I think they won't make things too difficult for us."

Lucy doesn't know about the 'Fairy Heart', so it's understandable to make such a conjecture.

"Uh... well..." Erza looked a little embarrassed, "I think we shouldn't be too arbitrary on this point..."

"In short, I think the best way is to wait for the ship to dock, find an opportunity to steal the key, run away, and lurk to meet the president and the others. Otherwise, once we are imprisoned in the prison of the Albares Empire, we will

Completely passive!"

"Um……"

Erza regretted starting this topic. The two of them analyzed it for a long time, but found almost nothing useful...

"We also need to think about how to solve the problem of demon-sealing handcuffs."

"As for handcuffs... I have an idea!"
To be continued...
