Chapter 255: A Little Unexpected Turn
Chapter 255: A Little Unexpected Turn
Although he was a new driver, Luo De still managed to drive the car back to Magnolia smoothly.
This car model is the MK-P6, and it must be powered by an SE plug (which looks like handcuffs and is worn on the wrist) supplied by a mage, and it consumes a very high amount of magical power.
Despite this, Luo De was still driving enthusiastically.
This thing should be considered an automatic transmission; as long as the magical power supply is sufficient, you can shift gears however you like.
Apart from the control Rod being a bit difficult to handle, the operating difficulty is equivalent to that of a child's electric toy car.
Mira saw him enjoying himself and initially planned to provide him with magical power for the second half of the journey.
But Luo De had the Blue Buff, so as long as he didn't go at full speed, there was no need to worry about magical power.
However, after experiencing the high consumption of the magic-powered four-wheeler, Luo De felt even more sympathetic towards Mira.
How anxious must she have been to accelerate so recklessly and drive for such a Long Distance?
Therefore, after parking the car steadily and removing the SE plug, Luo De hugged Mira tightly.
"Ah?" Mira was a bit surprised by his sudden attack but soon sensed his emotions.
She gently patted Luo De's back: "Alright, your shoulder wound hasn't fully healed yet, don't hurt yourself."
Liao De smelled the fragrance of her hair and whispered, "I've already hugged the best painkiller."
"Don't suddenly say things like that." Mira's ears turned red, and after thinking for a moment, she pushed him away, careful not to touch his injuries.
Luo De reflected on whether he had been a bit too slick, but sometimes such feelings just come naturally.
Kana, tipsy, got off the car and suddenly shouted, "Hapy!"
"Love!"
"Do you know what the best painkiller in the world is?"
"Love!"
"Wrong, it's alcohol, not love~"
When she said 'love,' Kana drew out the word and used her finger to scratch her cheek, looking at Luo De and Mira.
"I'm going to return the car!" Mira, rarely embarrassed, fled.
Luo De decided not to argue with a drunk person, challenging her to try harder?
"Ah, I see!" Erza punched her hand into her palm, looking enlightened, "Companionship can dispel pain and give one the motivation to move forward."
"Mira and Luo De's bond has already become so deep." Erza, the more she analyzed, the more she found it reasonable, nodding in agreement with herself, "Yes, yes!"
"Hard to say, although what you said is right, it's also not right." Elfman admired Erza's logic, "But, Sister and Luo De... Be a man!"
Natsu's mind was elsewhere, focused on the embers he managed to save, "Hapy, I'm going home!"
"Not going to the guild?"
"No, it's too embarrassing to be a Dragon Slayer who can't eat fire!"
Thinking about the possibility of being mocked by Gray as a 'fake Dragon Slayer who can't eat fire,' Natsu felt a chill run down his spine.
Hapy had no choice but to follow, fearing that if he returned too late, there would be no home left.
...
The atmosphere in the guild was originally a bit tense, but since Erza had already contacted the Master yesterday, it had returned to its usual lively state.
As soon as the door opened, the noisy sounds rushed in like a physical force.
However, when they saw who had entered, the guild fell silent for a few seconds, then erupted into louder cheers:
"Welcome back!!!"
"Mira (Luo De, Erufu Man, Erza, Kana)!"
The voices were chaotic, shouting everyone's names.
"Where's Natsu?"
"Probably car-sick again!"
Amidst the clamor, everyone greeted each other and hurried to their usual spots.
Kana found a random spot to sit down. When someone asked what had happened, she patted the table, indicating that a beer would buy a story.
Erza, Mira, and Luo De went to report the detailed situation to the Master.
Elfman went to chat with Nab and Marcus. As long as he was teamed up with Luo De, he didn't have to worry about reporting anything.
Besides, since even his sister had participated this time, it was even less his concern. He figured it was better to go arm wrestling than to get involved in this.
"Hey!" Makarov was very pleased. They had encountered the Heart of the Demon, and as long as the kids returned safely, he was happy.
"Unfortunately, Master," Erza said apologetically after Luo De finished recounting the details, "We didn't encounter any of their core members, so we didn't gather much more information."
Eliminating such a dangerous dark guild was something the Council and legitimate guilds had been striving for.
Makarov had also wanted to learn more about this elusive 'strongest dark guild.'
"It's fine. The Council has captured quite a few regular members, so they might be able to extract some information from them."
Makarov stood up from the counter, "In any case, to celebrate everyone's safe return, let's have a party!"
"Oh!!!"
Such a request was always met with enthusiastic agreement.
The frequency of parties and events sometimes worried Luo De about the guild's finances.
But thinking about the compensation bills after certain members caused trouble... occasional parties didn't seem to matter much, they were just small expenses.
That day, everyone partied late into the night, but Luo De and Elfman were banned from drinking by Mira and were sent to rest early.
They were supposed to be the stars of the party, but no one really noticed their absence after they left.
Once the guild members got into the spirit of things, they didn't care why the party was being held. As long as they had fun, that was all that mattered.
Even if the tavern got messy, Erza and the Master wouldn't interfere.
...
"Here, here, the corner of the eye should be a bit higher..."
"Like this?"
"Yes, yes, and then the emblem, on the right chest, he only has half of it."
"That's it."
"Right, and then..."
Luo De was a man of his word. If he said he would make a detailed report with portraits, he would do it.
However, his own drawing skills were limited to cubes, so he had to ask Lidas for help.
Lidas was indeed skilled and could draw the two people based on Luo De's descriptions with remarkable accuracy.
Even the creatures that Rastiros had conjured with magic, he could draw quite well.
Luo De thought about finding some time to learn a transformation spell from Mira. If he could transform directly in such situations, it would be much more convenient than describing everything.
The Council seemed quite eager, and just a couple of days later, Lahar came to the guild to find Luo De.
"It's already prepared," Luo De said, "But we've made enemies with the Heart of the Demon and are worried about retaliation. Can the Council exchange information with us? The interrogations of those people should be making progress by now, right?"
"I'm sorry about that," Lahar looked at Luo De and then at Makarov, who was listening, with a guilty expression.
The two people who accompanied him also looked ashamed.
Makarov, being understanding, said, "If it's something that needs to be kept secret, you don't have to say it."
Lahar's face was grim, but he spoke the truth, "No, actually, the escort team was attacked, and all the captives disappeared."
"Huh?"
