"Ahahaha..."
"Look, everyone! Another dragon came. There's actually another dragon. How interesting~"
"How many dragons are there inside Fairy Tail? I don't know! I have no idea!"
"And this dragon is even bigger than the others~"
"Ahahaha..."
Lucy raised her head, looked at the enormous creature constantly roaring in the sky, and smiled. As she laughed, she shouted like a madwoman.
"Oh no! Lucy has gone crazy!"
Happy looked at Lucy, who was laughing continuously with a crazed expression, and spoke nervously.
"Lucy, are you all right?"
Inside Fairy Tail, Makarov, Erza, and Mirajane were all nervous about the currently insane Lucy.
"Ahaha..."
"I'm not crazy! I'm absolutely not crazy! My mental state couldn't be better..."
After hearing Makarov, Erza, and Mirajane, Lucy burst into loud laughter. She laughed inparably crazily, inparably madly! At this moment, Lucy had pletely let herself go, looking as if she had already bee one with Fairy Tail.
"What do we do?!"
Happy nervously looked at Erza, Mirajane, and Makarov, asking.
"This is not good..."
"Erza, Mirajane, did we go a little too far?"
Cold sweat appeared on Makarov's forehead. He pulled Erza and Mirajane aside and asked them with an extremely nervous expression.
"Probably not, right?!"
Erza and Mirajane exchanged glances. For a moment, they also could not grasp the current situation.
At the same time...
In the sky!
"ROAR!!"
Acpanied by a roar, the azure dragon Evan had transformed into had already charged toward Selene and Ignia.
He had only been away from the Guild for a little while...
Yet when he returned, he discovered that Fairy Tail and Magnolia Town were both gone!
In response, Evan felt rather helpless. He instantly understood exactly what had happened...
And so, Evan directly opened a passage to Elentear. He had only one objective, and that was to beat Ignia up!
"Evan!"
With Evan's arrival, Irene, Selene, and Ignia, who had originally planned to continue fighting, all stopped!
When Evan was absent, the three dragons were in a three-way standoff, and no one could break this inparably subtle balance! But after Evan arrived, the three-way balance between Irene, Selene, and Ignia had already changed...
Because Evan would undoubtedly help Irene, the only two choices left for Irene, Selene, and Ignia were as follows. The first choice was naturally for Selene and Ignia to join forces and fight Irene and Evan together, but clearly, that was impossible because Selene hated Ignia from the bottom of her heart...
Then there was only one choice left, and that was...
"Irene, Senior Selene, stop fighting!"
"Let's beat Ignia up together, vent our anger, and then make up!"
Evan stepped on flame clouds and flew in the sky, looking at Irene and Selene as he spoke coldly.
"Hm?!"
As Evan finished speaking, Ignia's small eyes were filled with great confusion.
As for Irene and Selene, the two exchanged glances, their eyes carrying some gentleness!
To be honest, neither of them wanted things to develop to this point. They had long wanted to give each other a step to climb down, and then let it end. Everyone here was reasonable and civilized. As for fighting, exchanging a few moves was enough...
However, because that battle maniac Ignia had gotten involved, they had been unable to find a chance. Now, that chance had e!
"I think that works!"
Irene was the first to support Evan.
"Let's do as you say, Evan~"
Selene followed immediately and agreed to Evan's proposal.
"Very good! Since everyone agrees, then let's do it like this..."
After hearing Irene and Selene, Evan nodded lightly, then revealed a smile. His smile was inparably sunny and brilliant.
Facing Evan's smile, Irene and Selene also revealed smiles...
"No?! Did anyone ask for my opinion?"
At this moment, only Ignia widened his eyes and looked at Irene, Selene, and Evan with confusion. It was still the same statement. If it were purely one-on-one, he, Ignia, feared no one, whether his father Fire Dragon King Igneel, the invincible Black Dragon King Acnologia, or any one of Evan, Irene, and Selene...
But even if he, Ignia, could fight, that was limited to one-on-one situations! But not only were these people black-hearted, their hands were also black. No one played one-on-one with you at all. They all played gang fights! What was he supposed to do?!
"Ignia, take this~"
Evan, Irene, and Selene exchanged glances.
Then, with lightning speed, they launched an attack toward Ignia...
"I..."
Facing the attacks of Evan, Irene, and Selene, Ignia had bitterness but could not say it. His heart was full of anger, but he was helpless.
"Less nonsense! Take this!"
Evan, Selene, and Irene had no intention of holding back. Aside from not adding the dragon curse to their attacks, they had no intention of going easy on Ignia at all...
Simply put, although Ignia's injuries would eventually heal, being beaten by Selene, Irene, and Evan was very painful!
"You're bullying me!"
Ignia roared. He howled. He shouted! He wanted to stand up!
"BOOM!!"
Then Ignia fell toward the ground under the impact of Irene, Selene, and Evan's triple roars.
"Rumble..."
Acpanied by a cloud of dust, Ignia collapsed in a pool of blood!
However, Evan, Irene, and Selene, who had beaten Ignia into a crippled state, did not even look at him! Because for dragons, this kind of injury was not fatal at all!
It was just that Irene, Selene, and Evan were too fast and did not give Ignia time to prepare. They erupted with energy in an instant and blasted Ignia's chest, catching him off guard. Otherwise, with Ignia's recovery ability, if he had been fully prepared, he could at least withstand Evan and the others' roars for several seconds!
Then he would struggle, wail, and suffer on the ground for dozens of minutes before fainting...
In that sense, Ignia, who had been directly knocked unconscious by Irene, Selene, and Evan's point-blank roars, was lucky!
"We won~"
Evan looked at Ignia lying in a pool of blood and spoke to Irene and Selene.
"Yes, we won!"
Irene and Selene exchanged glances and nodded gently to Evan.
Yes, in the end, a world where only Ignia was injured was born~
Congratulations, congratulations~
"They did it! These dragons killed..."
"Ah, no, they killed a dragon! They actually slaughtered their own panion?! What an incredibly brutal race!"
Lucy looked at Ignia, who was lying in a pool of blood. The corners of her eyes twitched, and she kept muttering.
"BOOM!"
Just as Lucy looked at the seriously injured Ignia with twitching eyes and a trembling body, acpanied by a roar, Evan, Selene, and Irene, who were soaring in the sky, all descended toward Fairy Tail.
"Oh no! After slaughtering their panion, the dragons are going to start attacking me!"
"My meat doesn't taste good! Please, big dragon brother, spare my life!"
Lucy looked at Evan, Selene, and Irene in the sky with a panicked expression and a hint of madness as she shouted wildly at everyone in Fairy Tail.
"Lucy, calm down first..."
In response, the Mages of Fairy Tail all tried persuading Lucy.
"You're telling me to calm down? I can't calm down!"
Lucy held her head with both hands and spoke to the Mages of Fairy Tail in a trembling voice.
"Lucy, long time no see~"
Just as Lucy's mind was trembling, the azure dragon hundreds of meters long suddenly transformed into a handsome young man.
The young man with red hair seemed to know Lucy. He stood directly in front of Lucy and waved in greeting.
"Huh?!"
After hearing the voice, Lucy turned to look. Her gaze happened to meet the eyes of this young man with short reddish-brown hair, who had transformed from the azure dragon...
"Ah! You, you are..."
After seeing the young man's appearance, Lucy's expression flashed with realization. She remembered that she had once seen this young man's appearance somewhere.
After thinking briefly, Lucy's eyes suddenly lit up. She finally remembered where exactly she had seen this young man's appearance. It was in the family photo in her mother's bedroom before she ran away from home!
"Looks like you remembered me~"
"Speaking of which, the last time we met was seven or eight years ago..."
"You were still very small back then. In the blink of an eye, you've grown up~"
The young man with short reddish-brown hair was none other than Evan.
Evan stood with his hands behind his back and smiled slightly at Lucy, his expression carrying some emotion.
"Ah! You're the mysterious boy in the photo in Mother's bedroom!"
However, just as Evan thought Lucy had already remembered him, he heard Lucy point at his face and speak in a surprised tone.
"Uh..."
"The mysterious boy in the photo?"
After hearing this, the corner of Evan's eye twitched slightly.
Through Lucy's words, Evan obtained two pieces of information. The first was that Lucy had seen that group photo, and the second was that Lucy had pletely forgotten him!
But Evan did not think Lucy was being rude...
After all, the last time Evan met Lucy had been seven or eight years ago, and they had only met briefly a few times...
At that time, the people Evan mainly interacted with were Layla and Jude. It was understandable that Lucy did not remember him...
Second, this was Lucy! That careless, regretful-type "female lead." If Lucy still remembered him, then she would not seem so Lucy-like instead...
"Forget it! After all, you're Lucy~ It's understandable that you don't remember me!"
In response, Evan shrugged and smiled slightly at Lucy.
"Hey! I feel like what you just said to me was really rude!" After hearing Evan, Lucy narrowed her eyes slightly and plained inwardly, "What do you mean, after all, you're Lucy? Is Lucy some kind of synonym for something bad? Is it normal to forget people just because I'm Lucy? Uh... Although forgetting someone is already rude in itself!"
"Evan, is this dumb-looking child someone you know?"
Just as Lucy was crazily plaining about Evan in her heart, Irene, who had exited awakened mode, stood on Evan's right side and asked casually.
"Uh, you could say we know each other?!"
"Actually, I was once hired by Lucy's parents to carry out a rather memorable job~"
When Evan said this, his gaze moved imperceptibly over Natsu, Wendy, and Erza's exclusive weapon Gajeel.
"When I visited Lucy's parents at that time, I met Lucy once..."
"To be honest, I don't really remember what Lucy looked like either! But this girl Lucy really looks exactly like Madam Layla~ I just didn't expect Madam Layla's daughter to join our Fairy Tail Guild. Looks like I should find time to go to Heart..."
Evan acted as though he had only just discovered Lucy too, explaining to everyone in the Guild.
"All right! Stop there!"
Just as Evan was about to say Lucy's surname, Lucy's slightly narrowed eyes immediately opened. She sensed something wrong and thought, "Oh no, I didn't expect this person to really be an acquaintance of Mother and Father!"
Yes, when Evan said Layla and the surname "Heart," Lucy knew that Evan was the real deal!
Thinking up to this point, in order to avoid exposing her family, and also to avoid exposing the fact that she was a young lady who had secretly run away from home, Lucy rushed in front of Evan in one step, then reached out to block Evan's mouth. Not only that, she pulled Evan and ran toward the depths of the ruins...
"Um, I have some things I want to ask Mr. Evan!"
"So, um, please lend Mr. Evan to me for five minutes..."
As Lucy spoke, she pulled Evan and ran toward the depths of the ruins.
"Oh my~ Evan's luck with women is as good as ever~"
Irene looked at the scene before her and revealed an expression as if her child had grown up.
"Oh?!"
After hearing Irene, Erza directly narrowed her eyes, and those narrowed eyes gave off a dangerous gaze.
"Huh?!" Mirajane also raised her brow at this moment and softly murmured, "This newer is something else~"
"More than something else!"
"That newer stared hard at Gray-sama the moment she entered the Guild! She is Juvia's love rival!"
Just as Erza and Mirajane were sizing up Evan and Lucy in the distance with scrutinizing gazes, Juvia appeared from somewhere and added fuel to the fire.
"Wh... What?!"
"How shameless?!"
"She already likes Gray, yet she still wants to seduce Brother Evan! It seems this newer is unusually troublesome!"
Erza's expression trembled. She sensed Lucy's formidable strength.
"So that's how it is. Lucy has something going on with Gray~"
"At the same time, Lucy also wants to have something going on with Evan~"
"This newer is something else~"
Happy flew in the air and summarized everyone's words.
"Um, please!"
"Please don't say my surname..."
"Actually, I secretly ran away from my family. If everyone finds out my real identity, it will probably create a bad influence, right?"
At the same time, Lucy was holding her hands together above her head, bowing repeatedly to Evan while begging him not to expose her secret.
"Hm?"
"Actually, from my point of view, even if you told everyone in the Guild your real identity, no one would care..."
"But since you said so, let's do it that way~"
Evan looked at Lucy, who was constantly requesting this of him. After thinking briefly, he agreed.
"Huh? You agreed so easily? Really? Are you really willing to help me keep it secret?"
Lucy did not expect Evan to agree to her request so easily.
And so, she blinked her watery eyes and kept asking Evan.
"Yes..."
"I agreed just that easily. So what?"
After hearing Lucy, Evan smiled lightly, then asked.
"Um, I thought you would take the chance to make some excessive demand?"
"After all, you should know, right? Don't judge me by how I look. I am the heir of the Heartfilia family..."
"Now that you have leverage over me, if you made some excessive demand, perhaps I would agree~"
When mentioning the Heartfilia family, Lucy was still very proud. After all, the Heartfilia family was the richest family in Ishgar. So Lucy had thought Evan would take the chance to extort a sum from her family. After all, in many storybooks Lucy had read before, dragons were lustful, bloodthirsty creatures that loved shiny gold coins...
And coincidentally, the Heartfilia family could almost satisfy a dragon's needs...
So Lucy had originally thought that Evan, as a dragon, would absolutely not let this chance go~
But what surprised Lucy was that the dragon who served as a villain in all kinds of storybooks in her mind was actually so reasonable and kind-hearted!
"I judged a gentleman with the heart of a petty person!"
"It seems this person is not only handsome in appearance, but his heart is also inparably pure~"
In response, Lucy looked at Evan and felt warmth in her heart.
"Ah! So that's how it is..."
"I actually forgot! So I can use this to threaten you~"
However, Lucy saw Evan raise his brow. Then, while rubbing his chin, he looked her up and down in an extremely "greasy" manner.
"Uh..."
After sensing Evan's gaze, Lucy was so frightened that she shivered.
"Huh? M-M-Mr. Evan, you're joking, right?"
Under Evan's invasive gaze, Lucy retreated several steps and was instantly forced into a corner by Evan. Her face turned bright red as she looked at Evan and asked.
"Do I look like I'm joking?"
The corners of Evan's mouth rose slightly, as if a fun-seeker had found new fun.
"Uh..." After hearing Evan, Lucy's heart suddenly stopped. After that brief stop, Lucy continued asking Evan, "Y-You were a gentleman, weren't you?"
"Lucy~"
"Since when did you have the illusion that I was a gentleman?"
"Lucy, you must remember that admiration is the emotion furthest from understanding~"
"When you thought I was a gentleman, you were already unable to understand me..."
After hearing Lucy, Evan smiled slightly. His smile was like a devil from hell, full of malice.
"Give back the praise I gave you, you beast!"
After hearing Evan, Lucy angrily scolded him.
"Hey, hey, hey! I haven't even made a demand yet, and you're already insulting me like that? Aren't you afraid I'll make an even more excessive demand?"
Evan kindly reminded Lucy.
"Uh..."
"Um, actually, I was joking just now~"
"Kind big brother, I know you definitely won't make things difficult for Lucy~"
Lucy knew that facing Evan, who could transform into an azure dragon, using force absolutely would not work, so Lucy planned to use softness instead. Thus, she used her ultimate move, Seduction Jutsu~
Lucy believed that no man could ignore her youthful and beautiful body...
"Ah..."
However, after Lucy used what she believed to be an invincible Seduction Jutsu on Evan, what she received was Evan's calm-as-water gaze, which carried a bit of speechlessness and the look of someone caring for the mentally disabled.
"Apologize to me! Apologize to my sexiness right now!"
"How rude! As a gentleman, after seeing a beautiful lady, you absolutely cannot reveal such a hopeless gaze! Bastard!"
After feeling Evan's eyes that seemed like they were dead, Lucy's eyes twitched, and veins bulged on her temples.
How should it be put? pared to others looking at her with lecherous gazes, Evan's gaze that seemed to despair at the world made Lucy even angrier!
"My apologies, but I cannot apologize to you! After all, you have nothing to do with the word sexy!"
"So forgive me for being unable to ply. I cannot apologize to your sexiness, because I cannot apologize to something you do not have, something fabricated from nothing..."
After hearing Lucy, Evan replied seriously.
"I told you! Don't say that kind of thing to me so seriously~ It'll make me feel really hurt..."
After hearing Evan, Lucy's eye twitched slightly, and her body trembled at an irregular speed.
To be honest, Evan's words stabbed her heart too much...
Did she, Lucy, really not have even the slightest bit of sexiness?!
"Kekekeke..."
"In short, since Lucy, you also don't want your surname to be exposed..."
"Then obediently listen to my orders~"
Evan looked at Lucy, who was trembling slightly after being critically hit by his words, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly as he used his usual threatening tone.
"Uh..."
At this moment, Lucy was looking at Evan with a pale face. Her young heart had been repeatedly critically hit by Evan's words!
To the point that she had begun doubting her confidence as a woman...
It was only when Evan suddenly let out this strange laugh that Lucy slowly escaped from self-doubt.
"Your laugh is so creepy!"
Lucy first plained about Evan's deliberately made laugh.
Then she stared seriously at Evan with her amber eyes.
"What, have you finally realized my charm? Unfortunately, I'm not interested in you..."
Lucy first puffed out her chest, which was still rather full, though still slightly lacking pared to Erza and Mirajane, then speedily rejected Evan.
"Haha..."
"Wait until your figure catches up to Erza's before talking about the word charm~"
After hearing Lucy, Evan laughed lightly and patted Lucy's head hard.
"Hm?!"
After being head-patted by Evan, Lucy retreated several steps and maintained some vigilance toward Evan.
"Let me say this first. I'm not interested in you!"
Lucy held her hands in front of herself and made an X toward Evan.
"I know! You like that kind of boy who doesn't have much brain, not only lacks upbringing, but is also extremely crude, right? Because that kind of single-celled creature is very suitable to be tricked by you into marrying into the Heartfilia family..."
After hearing Lucy, Evan was not angry. Instead, he cheerfully looked at Lucy and smiled.
"Right, right, right. I like that kind of single-celled creature with no brain, no upbringing, and easy to trick into marrying into the Heartfilia family... Like hell I do!" After hearing Evan, Lucy first smiled slightly, then roared, "Do you think I'll choose those easily controlled fiancés my father picked for me as my future other half? I will choose the other half of my own life myself!"
"Ah..."
After hearing Lucy, Evan fell silent.
Evan knew Lucy had misunderstood him. The crude, uneducated, easy-to-control single-celled creature he described was Natsu...
But in Lucy's view, the person Evan was talking about was the fiancés Jude had picked for her...
What did this prove? It proved that Jude still understood Lucy very well! He knew Lucy's preferences!
After all, Natsu was exactly that kind of person...
So perhaps Jude knew that even if his daughter picked for herself, she would most likely bring back a stupid boy...
So it was better for him to directly find a stupid boy for Lucy in advance, one who had passed his test~
This was probably the method a merchant chose to avoid risks after looking at a matter! After all, Jude did not dare bet on just what kind of foolish stupid boy Lucy would choose to bee her fiancé if he let her choose for herself! Jude would probably be afraid that the stupid boy Lucy picked would be stupid enough to affect the genes of the Heartfilia family, right?!
However, at this moment, Evan felt that Jude had thought too much. Because Lucy actually had pretty good taste and directly picked a demon. From then on, the descendants of the Heartfilia family would not even be human anymore~
All right, in fact, Evan had long suspected that the Heartfilia family was not pure human, but had something going on with that bearded uncle, the Celestial Spirit King. Cough, cough...
"In short, starting today, before I agree otherwise, you will properly form a magic team with Natsu~"
Evan shook his head, scattering the messy thoughts in his mind. Then he looked at Lucy and told her his demand.
"Hm? That's your demand?"
Hearing this, Lucy froze. She did not expect Evan's demand to be so simple.
"This is my demand..." Evan nodded to Lucy, then reminded her, "It sounds very simple, right? Consider this my warning to you. In short, don't die~"
"Uh..."
"After you said that, it suddenly doesn't feel that simple anymore!"
After hearing Evan, Lucy shivered again.
"In short, please help me keep my identity secret!"
Lucy looked at Evan and spoke softly.
"Don't worry!"
"But honestly, your identity isn't that special inside the Guild either..."
"Forget it. When it's time for you to know, you'll naturally know~"
Evan knew what Lucy was worried about. Lucy was probably worried that once her young lady identity was exposed, the Mages in the Guild would no longer treat her like an ordinary member, right? After all, every time Lucy exposed her identity along the way, countless people treated her as an honored guest...
However, other Mage Guilds might treat Lucy specially because of the Heartfilia family! But Fairy Tail absolutely would not. After all, Lucy's identity was nothing much in Fairy Tail. One had to know that there were several kings in Fairy Tail alone~
"Ah?!"
"Why make it so mysterious?"
After hearing Evan, Lucy plained.
Hearing this, Evan merely smiled. He said nothing and walked toward Erza and the others with his hands behind his back.
"..."
Lucy did not say anything either. She followed Evan and walked toward Makarov and the others.
"Lucy!"
Just as Lucy walked in front of Makarov, Erza, and Mirajane...
Mirajane and Erza both moved close to Lucy...
"Uh..."
This made Lucy feel a trace of pressure. She did not know what Mirajane and Erza meant.
"Lucy! Wele to Fairy Tail~"
Just as Lucy felt waves of pressure, Mirajane suddenly smiled, then took out several party poppers from behind her back and fired them into the sky.
"Pop~ Pop~ Pop~"
Acpanied by several light sounds, countless ribbons fell from the sky and landed casually on Lucy's golden hair.
"Lucy! From today on, we are family~"
Immediately afterward, Erza brought out a celebratory cake and placed it in front of Lucy.
"In this world, no one knows whether fairies have tails or not. No one knows whether fairies themselves exist in this world. Precisely because of that, this is an eternal unknown, an eternal adventure..."
"This is the origin of the Fairy Tail Guild's name! Lucy, I hope you can find the adventure you look forward to in Fairy Tail!"
"Because the Guild hasn't had a newer join for a long time, we used our own way to hold a simple celebration for you. I hope you like it!"
Makarov stood with his hands behind his back, truly carrying the bearing of a grandmaster and the posture of a Guild Master. First, he gently explained the origin of Fairy Tail's name, then expressed his expectations for Lucy.
"Everyone..."
Lucy took the cake from Erza's hands. She looked at Natsu and the others crawling out of the ruins and revealed a moved expression.
Only now did she realize that all the fighting in Fairy Tail just now had been acting. It was just a performance to celebrate her joining Fairy Tail. Everyone was actually normal people, only acting like they were mentally ill...
Although it was absurd, this was probably Fairy Tail's way of doing things, right?
At this moment, Lucy had pletely not considered the words "acting in their true colors"! Or rather, Lucy did not want to admit that this was the truth!
"This is the most magnificent wele party I've ever seen in my life!"
Lucy took a deep breath and spoke to the members of Fairy Tail.
Lucy was not lying. The strange magic displayed by the members of Fairy Tail, the dragons, crossing worlds! These were all things she had never seen before! They were the unknown she longed to explore...
"Right! Natsu's brother can get up now too, right? I really liked the program he prepared~"
At this moment, Lucy suddenly thought of something. She first glanced at Ignia, who was still lying in a pool of blood, then looked at Evan and spoke.
"Ah? You mean Ignia? Sorry. Ignia wasn't part of our original plan. In the wele party just now, only the part where we beat Ignia up was us really hitting him with force~"
In response, Evan smiled as he said words that made Lucy's hair stand on end.
"Huh?!"
Hearing this, the smile on Lucy's face suddenly froze, then she revealed an extremely horrified expression.
"Really? Did these guys really make a move just now?"
"So Natsu's brother was really beaten half to death?"
Lucy looked at Ignia, who was still lying on the ground and bleeding continuously, and widened her eyes.
"So, Lucy, do you understand now?"
Evan asked Lucy with a cold expression.
"W-What should I u-understand?"
Because Evan's expression was too frightening, Lucy was so scared that she stammered.
"That guy is what happens when you offend me~"
Evan looked at Lucy coldly, his voice icy.
"Scary! This guy is so scary!"
Lucy's face turned icy, her heart filled with fear.
"Haha! Just joking! Actually, he's fine too~"
As Evan spoke, he came in front of Ignia and kicked him.
"He kicked him! Evan actually kicked a corpse!"
Lucy looked at the scene before her, her eyelids twitching wildly, her heart terrified.
"That hurts!"
Then Lucy saw Ignia, who had been continuously spraying blood, suddenly stand up from the ground, as if he had revived on the spot.
"The corpse stood up? No, he revived, right?"
In response, Lucy fell silent again. So this Guild did have normal people, right?
