Chapter 363 Target: The Great Magic Games, the Gate of Eclipse!
Magnolia is brightly lit, and there is a villa with its own yard near the Fairy Tail guild halfway up the mountain.
Inside the living room, the boiling magic kettle made a gurgling sound, and a faint aroma of tea wafted around. Chess sat alone on the sofa with his legs crossed, drinking tea.
There is no trace of his existence in this world, and naturally there is no three-story villa that Mira meticulously designed.
This temporary residence, which has a decent decor, was rented by him for 500,000 J.
The hundreds of millions stored with the Dark Magician Girl can be used normally here, and the amount is not particularly large, so there is no need to worry about being investigated.
After all, it's going to take a short time, and living in the card space all the time is too troublesome.
More importantly, in Magnolia, you can keep track of your companions' movements at any time and be aware of any unexpected situations immediately.
It is relatively convenient in all aspects.
Chase picked up his teacup, took a sip, and looked at the empty and quiet living room, suddenly feeling a sense of unease.
Lucy and the others went home and chatted privately with me. The Dark Mage and the Dark Mage Girl are currently working overtime to draw up the magical blueprints for the Anima teleportation device.
"I wonder what happened to those guys after that."
Upon encountering Fairy Tail here, Chess inevitably thought of Macao and the others who remained at the guild.
Whether it was due to the butterfly effect of his appearance or not, Laxus did not participate in the Battle of Sirius Island.
Given his changed personality, he certainly wouldn't stand idly by and do nothing about Fairy Tail.
In fact, even without Laxus, a guild that loses its core members will not necessarily decline.
Internally, Marcao and Warren have become much stronger through the Dark Magician's Training Guide, and are fully capable of handling pressure from all sides.
External factors go without saying.
In terms of funding, they have the support of the Heartfilia Consortium, an all-weather partner, and in terms of allies, they have Sabertooth, which was taken over by Uru, as well as Blue Pegasus and Four-Headed Hound.
Even within the council, there's Urutia, who has regained her membership!
Although these relationships will likely drift apart as they leave, nothing serious is likely to happen in the short term.
"Lagusta—"
Suddenly, Chess saw in his mind the image of Makaowakaba and his gang of lazy bums being whipped out to work by an angry Laxus.
I have a feeling that if he takes over the guild, some people will never have a good time.
At the same time, with this experience in leading the guild, the old man might look at his grandson differently, thus reducing his chances of being elected as the new guild leader.
Simply perfect!
"At the rate at which the 'heart' is accumulating, I'll have to stay here for another three months—" Chase slowly put down his teacup.
When it comes to immense magical power, besides heart magic, there are other quick ways to obtain it.
One of them is naturally the magical spirit power, which can collect nearly 10 billion units of conceptual magic power with just three shots.
Unfortunately, given the Council's consistent approach, they would never help without a reason—it would be good enough if they didn't treat these "otherworldly" people as a threat!
As for the other one, it's right in front of us.
That's right, it's the Eclipse Gate that the Kingdom of Fiore secretly built!
The magical power collected from the six Grand Magic Games is absolutely astonishing. If it could be used to activate a fixed-point Anima teleportation device, the effect should be quite good.
But-
Chase subconsciously thought of the mastermind behind the Eclipse Project—Princess Emerald of the Kingdom of Fiore.
Although his original intention was for the safety of the kingdom, this guy was so stubborn that he was almost obsessive, the kind of person who wouldn't turn back until he hit a brick wall.
In some ways, persuading her is even more difficult than persuading the council!
Thinking of this, Chess frowned slightly.
This also involves a crucial question: which future are they referring to when they travel to this world?
If it's the original story or the future Rogue route, it's relatively easy to handle. For the former, you just need to bring out the future Rogue, while for the latter, the Eclipse Gate hasn't been opened yet.
As for the future storyline where Lucy destroys the world with 10,000 dragons.
In fact, Chase still doesn't understand how the gate was opened when there was obviously no future Rogue in this storyline and no one was secretly bewitching the Emerald Princess.
Is it just because of the Eclipse 1 plan (going back 400 years to kill Acnologia and Zeref)?
If I remember correctly, both Future Lucy and Future Rogue traveled here on the third day of the Grand Magic Games.
We'll have to confirm that later.
Chase thought to himself, a hint of anticipation flashing in his eyes.
"The Grand Magic Games? As my little sister's first stage after being promoted to S-class, it's pretty good."
Ding dong.
The sudden ringing of the doorbell interrupted his thoughts.
Why did Natsu, Lucy, and Happy find us so quickly?
No, that's not right. Although I did tell other people my current address, if it were them, the fragile door couldn't have been so sturdy!
With a puzzled look in his eyes, Chase got up and opened the door, whereupon two figures dressed in casual clothes came into view.
It's Mira and Erza.
"Good evening, Chess. Magnolia has changed so much in seven years. I almost thought I was in the wrong place just now."
Mira greeted them with a smile, then casually walked into the living room and looked around. "So this is the house Chase rented? It's quite luxurious!"
"Good evening, Chess! Sorry to bother you!"
Compared to her casual demeanor, Erza seemed much more nervous, her body stiff and completely lacking the composure she used to have when "trespassing" with Natsu Lucy.
After all, it's nighttime now, and she came all alone, and even ran into Mila on the way!
The Fairy Queen felt inexplicably shy as if her little secret had been exposed to her face.
The scene changes.
The two women were already seated on the sofa, and Chase poured them each a cup of hot tea.
"So, what's the emergency that's keeping you up so late?" Chase asked.
Logically speaking, they should be exchanging information with their counterparts from another world right now.
"No, it's just—"
Mira lowered her head, her gaze fixed on the teacup in front of her. "I suddenly felt like coming to check on Chess."
Before coming here, she did talk to Mira and the others about the different experiences and adventures in the two worlds.
However, unlike the enthusiasm shown by Elfman and Lisana, the so-called "intelligence gathering" was not as interesting as expected, and was even quite agonizing.
Whenever Chess was mentioned, and she saw the obvious awkwardness on her own (future Mira's) face, she felt a strange sense of irritation.
So, after quickly saying goodbye to her younger siblings, a restless Mira left the Strauss family home.
There was no reason, I just really, really wanted to see Chase, so I did it.
