'...'
It was already evening, and Lucy was walking silently on the sunset path, carrying her small shoulder bag.
At this time, she just lowered her head and walked forward step by step on the lonely road.
She is not in a very good mood right now.
Just now, she was in the study with her own father, and with His Excellency Jude Heartfilia, who wanted to marry her to a guy she had never met for his own selfish interests and the so-called family interests. It was a showdown and a complete falling out, and it was still very difficult to repair.
If……
If she ran away from home secretly before, then this time, she will 'abandon home' and run away blatantly. I'm afraid even she doesn't know when she will come back again.
Because, there is no longer anything that makes her attached to this family...
What she wanted was never money or beautiful clothes, nor was it the so-called wealthy marriage that the other party had arranged for her. What she wanted was just a man who would allow her to play her role and be recognized. A place where she, Lucy, exists and can be regarded as a companion and family member.
And that kind of place, that kind of place where she realizes her own life value and makes herself no longer a dispensable puppet and 'tool man', she has actually found it and is preparing to return there. .
'You see? '
?(ψ｀▽′)?
'Isn't she right over there? Everyone said she would be fine, but you still drag her to look for her. It's really...'
(′～`●)
At this time, a familiar and slightly complaining voice came from a distance.
'! ! '
This made Lucy startled.
Then, she, who was silently thinking about her own thoughts, couldn't help but stop subconsciously, raised her head in astonishment, squinted her eyes, and blocked the golden but still dazzling light of the setting sun with her hands before carefully looking into the distance. Look carefully at the somewhat dazzling place.
'Hello! '
'Lucy? '
'Lucy! ! ! '
'Hi! Lucy! '
Then, voices and figures that were familiar to Lucy rushed towards her at the same time, making her feel startled and suddenly warmed up at the same time.
'! ! '
'It's Anne! '
'And Natsu, Gray, Happy and Erza...'
'how come? '
Sobbing, standing in the manor that once belonged to her and grew up in the Heartfilia family, Lucy covered her mouth and smiled for the first time and shed a few crystal tears.
'Everyone, everyone...'
Then she glared fiercely, put strength on her feet, and rushed toward her companions in front of them, cheering and hugging each other warmly.
'Natsu...'
'And hubby...'
'Why are you all here? '
'It's very simple! '
'Isn't everyone a little worried about you? ! '
'Happy is worried about Lucy too! '
'But……'
'Didn't I leave a letter? I knew you guys would definitely break into my room without permission! '
'That will make you even more worried! '
'that……'
'Actually, it's because of the pile of unsent letters you wrote, Lucy. After everyone read them, they felt that they must pay more attention to you, so they came here. '
'! ! '
'you……'
'hateful! Have you opened the letters to my mother that I kept in the box? ! '
'No, not me! '
'It's Hubby! '
'Eh? '
'Natsu, didn't you take it apart first? What Hubby found was obviously those weird underwear...'
'! ! '
'Give me your underwear...'
'hateful! You guys, stop right here! ! '
'Ouch! '
'Don't run! ! ! '
Soon, while chatting, Natsu accidentally said some "unspeakable" things, and a certain heartless cat named Habi quickly became the target of the angry Lucy to vent and attack. , a few people just started making noise here in public.
The laughter and cries of pain soon spread around the Heartfilia Manor, causing the servants and some people who were originally very worried about Lucy's condition to be attracted to look here from a distance. came with a different expression.
"Really..."
╮(╯▽╰)╭
"Hello!"
(●'?'●)?
"Lucy! Since everyone is here, and your castle looks very luxurious, then, hurry up, invite everyone in and have a ton of food (pronounced dùn), right?"
?(????)?
After seeing that those guys had finally had enough trouble, Annie hurried forward, couldn't wait to pull Lucy's skirt, and motioned for the other party to take her to find some delicious food.
You know, she was pestered by those guys and took the train all night to come here. In addition, she slept all the way and missed breakfast and lunch when she got up. Now she is really hungry and can't bear it. I'm just waiting to go to Lucy's house and eat and drink for free for a few days before going back!
"ah?"
"this……"
Her best friends traveled thousands of miles to look for her, and even found her directly at her home. Lucy should have given them a good meal and arranged accommodation and other issues.
but……
"I'm sorry, Annie, and everyone... Otherwise, let's go out to eat. I'm afraid it's a little inconvenient to entertain everyone at home..."
Thinking about the farce she had just had with her father and what she had said, it was really not convenient for her to do that kind of thing at this moment, so she could only say this with a wry smile.
"Ah? Why? Is it possible that there is no food in that big house?!"
=????(???*)
Anne felt a little unbelievable. Anyway, she didn't believe that a guy living in such a big castle wouldn't even have a good chef or food!
Besides, it’s not like Queen Anne has never lived in a castle like that, or a house bigger and more luxurious than that. She knows that there must be many large and spacious guest rooms and a large restaurant inside. As well as a large group of servants and chefs, it's impossible that they can't even entertain them.
"OK!"
"Annie!"
"Lucy, I'm afraid she has some reasons, so don't ask so many questions. Besides, we're not very hungry, so it's not impossible to eat outside."
Erza seemed to notice that Lucy's face was slightly unnatural. She thought that the incident with the Ghost Guild was caused by her father, so she quickly stopped her words and wanted to pull Lucy away. Anne walked towards the castle, and then tried to persuade her, preparing to give Lucy a step down so as not to embarrass the other party too much.
With her delicate mind, she noticed Lucy's abnormality and felt that something must have happened here before they came here that they didn't know about.
Gulu~!
Of course, even though she said that, her stomach betrayed her at this moment, making her statement of "not very hungry" unreasonable at all.
"But what's the point of asking?"
(??ˇεˇ??)
Annie, who just wants to fill her stomach quickly and have a delicious meal as soon as possible, will not care about Lucy's difficulties? Therefore, she still stubbornly wanted to take Lucy back, eat and drink well in that big house, and stay at least for a day or two.
"cough!"
"Annie..."
Ellie didn't even know what to say, so she could only pretend to cough, and then kept winking at the other party.
"Why are you staring? Is there sand in it? I won't blow it for you!"
(?˙ー˙?)
Although she saw Erza blinking hard at her, Annie still didn't take it to heart. She still ignored her stubbornly and only thought about delicious food. As for other things, she ignored them. It was forgotten.
(…)
(●￣(?)￣●)
"hateful……"
"You guy!"
Now, not even the wise and mighty Erza could do anything.
"OK!"
"It's not like I can't say..."
"actually……"
"Perhaps you don't know yet? Because of the "ghost" incident, my father and I just had a falling out, and we had a very loud quarrel. I also said that I would officially leave the house, so... I'm afraid I'm really shameless. Continue to stay at this place and entertain everyone. "
Lucy suddenly regretted it.
Because, she was already thinking that if she knew that these good companions of hers were coming, she would definitely endure it first and wait until she had entertained her companions before going to have a showdown with her annoying father?
If that were the case, she probably wouldn't be so embarrassed now.
"So that's it!"
"Then let's go outside to eat. We've endured it for so long anyway, so we're not in a hurry to wait any longer!"
"But Lucy, you have to pay. I really have no money at all. Even the ticket for coming here was paid for by Erza."
At this time, Natsu on the side didn't care at all and said with a carefree smile.
What he said is indeed the truth, because he really has no money... Due to the recent guild war with Ghost, and the recent reconstruction of the guild station, there are no tasks or commissions for him to receive at all. And if their "Fairy Tail" construction site hadn't provided nutritious working meals for all the workers, he might have gone hungry long ago or gone fishing like Hapi.
"I got it!!"
"Natsu, you annoying guy!"
Lucy smiled and cursed and said bitterly, and agreed generously.
Although, because she had a falling out with her father, she didn't get even a hundred pieces of pocket money when she came home, but she still had a little surplus in her purse, which was barely enough to entertain these companions, even if Several of them are big eaters, which is still okay.
"Really, is it better to eat out than in the castle?"
ε=(′ο｀*)))Alas
Anne was a little frustrated, but Lucy had said that, and she couldn't hold on. She could only follow her companions angrily, and walked feebly outside the village step by step, planning to go there. Dining in the town a few miles away.
"Anyway!"
"I'm really sorry for making everyone so worried and coming here from such a far away place!"
"You're welcome!"
"Yes Lucy, we are on the same team, aren't we?"
"Um!"
"but……"
"If I had known you would go back so soon, I'm afraid we wouldn't have come. You don't know that the station reconstruction is a huge project, and the construction site is still short of manpower recently... It seems that this time I I’m also a little impatient.”
"Haha! Erza, you can actually say that...ah!!"
"It hurts...it hurts!"
"Shut up Natsu!"
"!!"
"Exhibitionist, you have no place to speak here!"
"Huh! I'm hungry now and I don't have time to argue with you..."
"you......"
"Why?"
"But having said that, Lucy, the town where your home is located is really big, and the pastoral scenery looks very nice. It's a pity that there are no shops and restaurants. Otherwise, we wouldn't have to go so far or go to It’s in the town ahead.”
"yes……"
As they talked, Gray, Natsu, Erza and others began to comment on the unique town where Lucy's manor was located.
"Eh?"
"that……"
"Have you misunderstood? This is actually not a small town. This is the courtyard of my home...Those houses are where the servants, gardeners, gardeners, uncles, aunts and their families live."
"In fact, the place up to the big mountain in front, and up to the first three miles of the town outside, is my home!"
Seeing that everyone seemed to have misunderstood something, Lucy corrected them with a smile as she walked.
'...'
'...'
'...'
'...'
"Eh?"
"What's wrong with everyone?"
"Everyone?"
Lucy was a little confused. She didn't know why her companions suddenly became quiet.
"No!"
"Nothing, I just suddenly felt that the sky was very blue..."
"That's right! Anne, I heard that you seem to be a real queen. Even the Magic Council doesn't dare to criticize you harshly. Then tell me, your country...is the one you mentioned last time. Pulu Sector, how big is it?"
"Is it as big as our Kingdom of Fiore?"
"Also, how big is your family?"
Erza, who didn't intend to make any comments about Lucy's family, a wealthy dog owner, was ready to tease a little guy who always called herself the queen, so that she could find a little balance and comfort for herself?
"Well……"
(?????)
"People don't know how big the star area is..."
??(??￣?￣)????
Yes, the Koprulu Sector now radiates and encompasses several parallel universes and worlds. The specific size is really hard to describe.
"As for my family..."
(ー`′ー)
"The entire voodoo land belongs to my family. It is at least as big as thousands of Lucy's families!"
?(???c)
In short, Annie knew that the last time she went back, the huge steel fortress city and the newly built retro city planned to be built next to it all belonged to her family, which was many, many times bigger than Lucy's family anyway.
'...'
'...'
'...'
'...'
Erza, Natsu, Gray and the cat Habi suddenly stopped talking again, because they discovered that it seemed that the two women living in the villa were really older than the other, and they were definitely not like them anyway. Can the bottom DIAO silks compare?
"Ha ha!"
"Anyway, Lucy's house looks amazing."
"snort!"
"That's natural!"
"Natsu, you don't know yet, do you?"
"what do you know?"
"The ancestor of the Heartfilia family, Lady Anna Heartfilia, was the teacher who taught the culture and language of the first generation of dragon slayers four hundred years ago!"
"Without her, I'm afraid there wouldn't be dragon slayers like you."
"ah!"
"Really? Are the ancestors of the Lucy family really that powerful? But Erza, how do you know so many things?"
"snort!"
"It always makes sense to ask you to study more. How about this? After the guild station is repaired, if I have time, I will continue to tutor you in your homework as before?"
"!!"
"don't want!"
“Absolutely no!!”
Shocked, a man known as the strongest fire dragon in "Fairy Tail" immediately ran away.
Are you kidding me? How could Natsu do such a terrible thing?
He would rather fight Gray for 300 rounds, or argue for most of the day, than be like Erza who wants to stuff an entire book into his head in an hour. Innocent toys under terrible teaching methods!
"..."
(?~?)
"Miss Lucy, can't you really apologize to your father and invite us to your house for a nice meal?"
?°(°ˉ??ˉ?°)°?
Anne didn't want to go so far to eat the food in the restaurant, because it would definitely not be as delicious as the food in the castle, and she knew this very well.
"Sorry Annie..."
"I'm afraid it won't work, because what my father did is so irritating!"
"That's terrible..."
Lucy gritted her teeth, thought about it, and finally shook her head.
"Woo~!"
(?_?)
"What a feast for others..."
?°(°ˉ??ˉ?°)°?
After failing to persuade her, Anne's face fell, and she could only sigh faintly. Finally, she took a regretful look at the Heartfilia family castle in the distance. Knowing that there seemed to be no chance for her to go in and eat and drink, she had no choice but to He followed the others dejectedly, planning to go to the unknown town ahead to have something to eat.
