Chapter 62 Loki: It's over, I'm going to be ruined.
As Mystergan departed, the guild members gradually regained their senses.
"My head is spinning, what just happened?"
"I think I dreamt that there were lots of fish floating in the sky~"
"This strange feeling... it really is that guy Mystergan?"
"There's absolutely no mistake, honestly, do I really have to use sleep magic every time I come here!"
Listening to her companions' discussions, some surprised and some indignant, Lucy, who had slowly woken up, frowned and looked at Mira, who had also just woken up: "Mira, Mystogan is...?"
"Like Chess, Erza, and Laxus, he is also the guild's strongest candidate."
Mira tilted her head and thought for a moment, then said, "His whereabouts are very mysterious. Only the guild leader and Chess know his true identity."
"You don't even know Mira and Erza?!" Lucy looked very surprised.
"I've run into him once or twice, but I never got a good look at his face."
As she spoke, Mira began to get to work, cleaning up the bottles and jars on the table.
"I feel like the S-rank members of the guild are all quite unique," Lucy murmured.
Suddenly, she realized something and exclaimed in surprise, "Wait, where's Chess?!"
"That guy went out with Mistgang."
An arrogant and boastful voice came from the second floor of the guild, where Laxus, wearing spiked headphones, stood arrogantly in the corridor.
He wasn't answering Lucy's question out of kindness; he was simply refuting Mira's earlier statement and, incidentally, showing off.
"I saw it all clearly, while you weaklings who couldn't even withstand sleep magic were fast asleep!"
"Laxus?!" everyone exclaimed in surprise.
Lucy instinctively shrank back.
The incident that happened a few days ago gave her an inexplicable fear of Laxus.
"Laxus? Come and fight me!"
Natsu, however, showed no fear and stepped forward to challenge Laxus.
"Someone who can't even beat Erza shouldn't be spouting nonsense." Laxus shifted to a more casual posture.
"What did you say?" x2
Natsu and Erza spoke at the same time.
"Damn it, stop being so self-righteous! Get down here, or I'll beat you until you cry!"
Natsu was so angry that he clenched his fists into fire.
"Come up here," Laxus said flippantly.
"Let's go up!"
Natsu wouldn't tolerate such provocation, and with a running start, he charged straight towards the second floor.
The result, naturally, was that he was smashed into a pulp by Makarov's punch.
Lucy wasn't surprised this time; she knew the rule that only S-class mages could go up to the second floor.
"Heh, got what you deserved? If you want to fight me, you'd better become an S-class first, Natsu."
Laxus sneered, "Although that's a fantasy that will never be realized for someone as weak and pitiful as you."
After saying that, under Natsu's angry gaze, he flicked his cloak and returned to the inner hall on the second floor.
Lucy and the others sighed in dismay.
--------------
Magnolia, the roof of the Cardia Cathedral.
Chess and Mistgang stood side by side, their clothes fluttering in the cold wind high above.
"Chase, how do you know about Anima?!"
Mistgang was very agitated.
"I overheard a rumor on the continent of Giltina, something about some kind of mysterious celestial phenomenon that can suck people into an unknown world, right?"
Chase made up an excuse, since he was the only one carrying out the ten-year mission on the continent of Giltina anyway, "I was just asking casually, I didn't expect you to actually know."
Mistgang looked up at the cloudless sky, pondered for a few seconds, and then warned in a deep voice, "Never go near that thing. Even you will get lost in it."
"So, is there really a connection to another world behind those celestial phenomena?" Chase asked.
Mister Gang looked back into Chase's eyes, hesitated for a long time, but still chose to trust him.
"That's right. I've been looking for and stopping those extremely dangerous things from happening, but the appearance of Anima is random. You only have a chance to shut it down if you're lucky enough to be close by."
"I see. So you can't determine the exact location in advance?" Chase pondered.
Thinking about it carefully, it makes sense. If Mystergan had a way to accurately locate Anima and provide early warnings, the entire city of Magnolia wouldn't have been teleported to Edolas.
As for Lisana, whom I mentioned to Mira earlier, we'll have to wait a little longer.
"Chase, what do you want to do?" Mistegnan noticed the change in Chase's expression.
"Haha, just think about it, isn't an adventure in another world a lot of fun?" Chase laughed and clenched his fist.
"Do you even realize how dangerous this is?! One wrong move and it could... it could..."
Mystergan grabbed Chase by the collar, about to scold him, but then thought that given Chase's personality and temperament, he should go to Edras.
It seems, it appears, it seems that they should be more worried about that side...
Thinking of this, Mistrigan silently released Chess.
So hard!
Why did we have to let this guy know about the other world?!
"In short, never go near Anima!"
After leaving behind these words, Mistgang's figure vanished into the mist.
Chase looked in the direction he had left, shook his head with a smile, and said, "What a meddlesome guy."
This matter is settled.
When they returned to the guild, the various grievances caused by Laxus had long since dissipated, and the guild members resumed their usual noisy routine.
However, this time they didn't fight, but instead gathered together and made a ruckus, which was, no, full of schadenfreude!
What are these guys up to now?
boom!
Chase kicked open the half-closed door, the loud noise immediately drawing everyone's attention.
"Hahaha! Chase's back!"
"Hey Chess, come here right now, you're in big trouble!"
Upon seeing Chess, the group's excitement grew even stronger, and they laughed and let out cheeky howls.
The armor clicked and clacked as the steel boots moved. Erza walked over with a serious expression and patted Chess's shoulder heavily.
"Chess, if you're a man, you have to fulfill your responsibilities properly. Don't make me look down on you," she said earnestly.
"I'm fired up!" Natsu was extremely excited.
"Love~!" Happy echoed as he floated in the air.
"Good luck, Chess!" Even Lucy, suppressing a laugh, gave him a big thumbs up.
Wait, what the hell is going on?
Filled with doubt, Chase arrived at the center of the crowd.
Mira was seen squatting on the ground, covering her face with her hands and silently shedding tears.
Her younger brother, Elfman, stood behind her, his eyes burning with determination as he stared at Chase: "A real man! Chase, we've been waiting for you for a long time!"
Looking closely, in an inconspicuous corner of the back bar, Loki was squatting, looking constipated.
At this moment, Mira, who had heard the noise, lowered her hand and looked over with teary eyes.
"Chase, Loki is so mean. I wanted Elfman to fulfill his promise to fill in for me before, but he absolutely refused. He just wants me to owe him this favor so he can do something weird later..."
"Didn't I say I was helping out purely for free? I don't need any promises of dates with Chase and Elfman!"
Loki immediately panicked upon hearing this and hurriedly retorted, "And don't use such perverse thoughts to insult my noble and pure soul!!"
Lucy silently grumbled: "Although, changing girlfriends three times a day, you're completely unrelated to the words 'noble and pure'..."
Also, the gentle Mila does indeed possess some rather strange attributes?
"I see, I understand now."
After a brief conversation, Chase finally understood the situation.
I've been so busy lately that I completely forgot about this.
hehehe~
"Tch, Chase, Elfman, you're such a siscon who only listens to Mira, but why don't you say something!"
Seeing Chase's instantly lewd expression, Loki felt a chill run down his spine, sensing something extremely ominous.
"Loki, you know I never owe anyone favors, so..."
Let's go on a date!
Without warning, Chase launched a surprise attack and, in perfect sync with Elfman, executed a thrilling combo: Strongman Locks Man!
Loki, supported by two tough guys, looked as helpless as a bullied woman.
After struggling to no avail, two streams of hot tears silently rolled down her cheeks.
My life, my ideals, my pursuits...
It's all over, it's all over, it's going to be ruined!
