Chapter 229: Cana: Want a Divination? The Return of Your Beloved, It's Very AccuRate.
After receiving a nod of approval, Natsu wasted no time and charged forward, his momentum making it seem as though he was the one who had surrounded the thirty-odd people.
Erza followed closely behind, changing into a special set of armor and seamlessly switching between swords, spears, and axes, taking down enemies in close combat one by one.
Sometimes, she didn’t even bother with a sword, opting to use her fists and feet instead.
Rogue was a bit slower, first summoning a few wild beasts to protect the driver and clear the area, before joining the fray himself, using a combination of basic martial arts and partial magic to enjoy the fight.
Even Happy flew into the crowd, leaving cat claw marks on several faces and even knocking someone out with a fish.
"It’s the Fire Dragon! That guy is the Fire Dragon!"
"Ah! Is this the Fairy Queen? She’s so strong!"
"Isn’t that guy a Beast tamer? Why is he fighting hand-to-hand?"
"Idiot, don’t get knocked down by the cat!"
"Furu! Stinger! What kind of people did you two bring down on us?"
In just a few minutes, the thirty people were all defeated, piled up like a mountain on the side of the Road.
"Come on! Get up and keep fighting me!" Natsu’s mouth spewed small flames, clearly not satisfied with the fight yet.
"Show some backbone! It’s just the three of us!" Erza stuck her sword into the ground, the tip just grazing someone’s nose, making him break out in a cold sweat.
Happy weakly said, "L-Love… Erza, don’t leave me out… I-I knocked down someone too."
The few still conscious were on the verge of tears, deciding they wouldn’t fight anymore. These people were monsters.
Thirty people? Next time, they’d need at least three hundred to dare face them again.
Rogue rummaged through the pile, finally finding two familiar faces. "Wake up, tell me why you were blocking me here."
"Didn’t you know what you did?"
Rogue said, "What I did? You mean I didn’t help two young ruffians who were attacked by wild beasts on the road?"
"Damn!"
Stinger was furious. If he hadn’t seen the strange large crab in an old magazine, he would have thought he was just unlucky to be attacked by wild beasts.
Furu huffed, "Don’t get too cocky, we’re just a branch. Once we report to the main headquarters, you’ll all be finished!"
Rogue looked at them in surprise. "You’re not serious? You’re going to brag about a group of thirty being taken down by three people and a cat?"
The two men’s faces turned red. They couldn’t possibly tell the truth. If the main headquarters found out about this embarrassing defeat, the entire branch might be shut down.
After confirming these people had no special purpose, Rogue felt relieved. They had already fought, and the tension between Fairy Tail and Phantom Lord was already high.
Worst case, they could report to the Council. They were the ones ambushed, and they had fought against overwhelming odds. Let the guild master handle the talking.
Or maybe let the old man go beat up Jose again.
After dealing with these self-seeking troublemakers, the group’s mood improved, and they returned to the guild with a sense of satisfaction.
The driver, tasked with taking them to Magnolia, felt particularly safe this time.
Three people took down thirty, and it only took a few minutes.
And even the one who usually got carsick was so capable, truly remarkable!
...
Clang! A porcelain plate hit the ground and shattered into pieces.
Mira seemed startled, crouching down to pick up the large pieces and throw them away, then sweeping up the fragments with a broom.
"Ah~ How strange, Mira, you can break plates too?"
Cana had a glass of wine by her side, the cup still half full. She drank it slowly, knowing that once she finished this half, she would have reached her limit. She was controlling her alcohol intake again.
And since Makao and Wakaba, her drinking buddies, weren’t around, she was chatting with Mira at the counter.
Mira smiled. "I just got a little distracted."
Cana rested her elbow on the counter and propped her chin in her hand. "Distracted or thinking about someone? You seem a bit absent-minded today."
"Don’t go making things up," Mira said, a bit worried. "I just suddenly felt that something bad might happen."
Cana flipped her hand as if performing a magic trick, and a few tarot cards appeared in her palm. "Want a divination? Like the return of your beloved, I’m very good at... this kind of thing."
"Return of my beloved..." Mira blushed a little and added, "Elfman came back the day before yesterday."
"I’m not talking about Elfman," Cana said with a mischievous smile, laying out the cards on the counter one by one.
Mira was busy with her work, taking orders, serving dishes, and keeping accounts, but every time she returned to the counter, she couldn’t help but glance at Cana slowly turning the cards.
She had never felt that Cana’s divination was so slow before.
Cana pressed her hand on the last card and asked, "By the way, how long has he been gone?"
Mira, thinking the divination needed this information, replied, "Eight days, almost nine."
"Oh..." Cana lowered her head for a few seconds, then looked up at Mira with a smile. "Who are you talking about?"
"..." Mira was taken aback, feeling her cheeks heat up, and lifted a tray as a threat.
"Alright, alright, I surrender." Cana laughed and flipped the last card, examining it for a moment before saying, "The divination shows that the person will return soon, but will have to leave again shortly after."
Mira’s face brightened a bit, then she asked, puzzled, "Leave again?"
Cana deliberately asked, "Could it be... Elfman is going out to work again?"
"..." Mira smiled softly and said gently, "If Elfman wants to go out today, should I break his legs?"
"Yee~~~" Cana felt like she was seeing the demon Mira again.
Elfman, who had just broken Nabbu’s wrist twice, suddenly felt a chill down his spine. He stretched his neck.
"What a strange feeling, maybe I’m just bored. Should I take a job? A real man can’t just sit around doing nothing."
The guild was as lively as ever until the door was kicked open.
"I’m back!"
"Love!"
Erza’s voice followed, "Natsu, don’t just kick the door."
Natsu, breaking out in a cold sweat, said, "Love! I’m sorry, I got carried away!"
"Make sure it doesn’t happen again," Erza said, immediately getting into her work mode as she returned to the guild, "Bickslow, don’t dance on the tables; Loki, I heard you were hitting on girls again and got complaints, tone it down; and Gray..."
Despite the bandages on her wrist and the band-aids on her face, Erza’s presence was as commanding as ever.
In ten seconds, the guild went from a bustling market to a quiet library.
But it wouldn’t last long.
Rogue was used to such scenes and calmly followed them in.
After a long journey, the guild was indeed the most comfortable place.
He went straight to someone at the counter. "I’m back."
"Han..." Mira’s expression changed, and she quickly walked to Rogue.
She raised her hand to touch his bandaged forehead, concerned. "Why are you so badly hurt?"
