Chapter 329: Guild Emergency, Hurry Back
Chapter 329: Guild Emergency, Hurry Back
Shalalu woke up from her slumber, but it was still dark outside.
No, wait, it should be time already. She felt a sense of suffocation, as if she was buried under something, so she struggled and squeezed upwards, finally managing to emerge from the narrow gap between the towering mountains.
Now, the sky brightened, and the first thing she saw was Mira's exquisite face, with Wendy's adorable head nestled behind her.
Her claws rested on the mountain, and she instinctively patted it... it was just a cat's natural behavior.
Shalalu retracted her claws.
Wendy would probably be devastated again, Shalalu thought, understanding Wendy's concerns, but she couldn't do anything about it.
She decided to get up and make Wendy a nourishing breakfast. Wendy was still young, and maybe she could make it in time.
Shalalu got out of bed.
Mira seemed to sense something and softly hummed, hugging the 'body pillow' in her arms a little tighter.
Now it was Wendy's turn to feel suffocated.
Shalalu shook her head and went out to attend to her own matters, putting aside... not mentioning how comfortable it actually felt to be held like that.
"57, 58, 59..."
Shalalu heard someone counting and peered outside. It was Rod doing push-ups with a Worm perched on his back.
How powerful was this man to do push-ups with such a heavy creature on his back!
"Huru~" Worm happily greeted Shalalu.
"Good morning," Shalalu greeted them. "Your habit hasn't changed at all."
She remembered that Rod and that perverted exhibitionist had a morning exercise routine when they stayed at her place.
"Good... morning... keep... going..."
Rod grunted a couple of words each time he pushed up, and speaking while exercising did affect his speech.
Shalalu saw Worm eagerly trying to join in and quickly retreated, fearing another shower of drool.
At breakfast, the group sat together, with Wendy hanging her head low, looking listless.
Rod asked, "Didn't Wendy sleep well last night?"
"No, it's not that," Wendy quickly denied.
It should be said that she slept very well, feeling safe and secure, as if she was sleeping in her mother's embrace.
It was just that waking up was too devastating.
Mira patted Wendy's head and apologized, "Sorry, I'm used to sleeping with a body pillow at home, and I accidentally..."
Hiss...
Rod looked at Wendy with envy, thinking it was too comfortable to be Mira's body pillow! Mira picked up a fried egg and stuffed it into Rod's mouth. His thoughts were written all over his face, and it wasn't like he hadn't hugged her before, so why the envy?
Rod chewed noisily, thinking that he had hugged her, but not while sleeping... Huh?
Come to think of it, Mira had used magic to help him sleep twice, but had Mira secretly done something else?
He felt like he had missed out on a billion dollars.
"It's nothing, Mira-sis," Wendy said, trying to change the subject quickly. "Do you have any plans for today?"
"This is my first time in Cat Transformation Village, and I want to take a good look around. Then I'll head back tomorrow. If I'm being too much of a bother..."
"You're not a bother!" Wendy was delighted to have a friend visiting. "I'll take Mira-sis on a tour! Oh, and Bebel's clothes are really pretty. Mira-sis, why don't you try on some of our clothes here?"
"Is that okay?"
"Yes, yes!"
Mira was excited, remembering that last year, Rod had brought her a set of clothes from here, but she had only worn it once due to the season.
This year... she had wanted to wear it again, but the size was a little off, and it needed some alterations.
It would be great if there was a suitable one here.
With such a good opportunity, Rod was eager to join in.
Although he couldn't follow them into the fitting room, he could offer a billion points of advice on styling.
His opinions carried a lot of weight in this matter, and Rod felt proud.
Unfortunately, the 'Mira Dress-Up' game didn't last long before someone came to stop them.
"Mr. Rod and Miss Mira, the Guild Master is looking for you."
It was that young man named Naoji, whom Rod recognized. "Guild Master Robin Lu?"
Naoji nodded. "Yes, the Guild Master said it's an urgent matter, so please go as soon as possible."
"We'll be right there," Rod said.
Mira put down the clothes in her hands, straightening only the purple dress she was wearing and adjusting the luxurious golden necklace around her neck.
Rod reached out to straighten her necklace, and Mira also tidied Rod's collar.
The two of them went to meet Guild Master Robin Lu, with Wendy and Shalalu following behind, worried about them.
"Chief Robin Lu, I apologize for the intrusion."
Yesterday, Wendy and Shalalu told them not to specifically come to greet the Chief, so the two didn't come.
Now, thinking about it, they felt it might have been a bit impolite.
Chief Robin Lu sat in the main seat: "Fool."
"?" Mila was puzzled.
Rod whispered in her ear: "It seems to be Chief Robin Lu's catchphrase. Don't worry about it."
Mila nodded and asked directly: "Do you need us for something urgent?"
"No, Fairy Tail has sent a message and hopes to speak with you. Fool."
"Guild?" Rod and Mila's hearts skipped a beat. If it wasn't an emergency, they usually wouldn't contact in this manner.
Either something had happened in the guild, or a companion nearby was in trouble and needed their help.
Robin Lu pointed to the curtain behind her: "Go on, the Communication Magic Crystal is back there. Fool."
The two gave a slight nod to Robin Lu and quickly walked behind the curtain.
Wendy couldn't help but ask: "Chief, has something happened to Fairy Tail?"
Robin Lu shook her head: "I'm not sure. If Wendy is concerned, you can also go and see. Fool."
Wendy took a step forward but stopped.
Although she was concerned, she wasn't a member of Fairy Tail, and it would be impolite to go over uninvited.
...
The Communication Magic Crystal in the Cat Transformation Village was much larger than the ones Rod had seen in the guild.
The Magic Crystal alone was almost as tall as Rod.
However, the larger the device, the more it often represented outdated technology, as there had been a push for miniaturization in recent years.
The key point was that the image in the Magic Crystal was of Elusa.
"I'm sorry, Mila, Rod." Elusa apologized as soon as she appeared.
The two were confused, and Rod asked: "What happened?"
Elusa clenched her fists and lowered her head, hesitant to look at them: "I was too careless. I promised to take care of the guild while you were away, but something like this still happened."
This was rare for Elusa. It wasn't the usual absent-minded self-blame, but a deeper sense of guilt.
Mila said gently: "Don't rush to take the blame. There are so many troublemakers in the guild; it's not something you can manage alone..."
"It wasn't that kind of mistake," Elusa interrupted Mila. "The incident started on the day you left. That night, Natsu had Happy steal an S-Class Mission!"
"Natsu...!" Rod was shocked. While he had thought Natsu was bold, he hadn't expected this much.
Doing something like this could get him expelled from the guild!
However, Rod's first reaction was that Natsu might need help: "Is Natsu in danger?"
"No, something happened, and Gray and I chased him to the mission location, and we successfully completed the mission." Elusa's expression was heavy. "But when we returned, the guild... was destroyed."
"What?"
Mila covered her mouth, and Rod's mind went blank.
If it had been a case of guild members fighting and tearing the place apart, Elusa wouldn't have had such a serious expression. This could only mean an attack.
"Who did it?!"
