Chapter 406 You should be secretly happy, you damn card player!
The Fairy Queen's mind went blank for a moment, and she froze on the spot.
The pounding of his heart was even louder than the liberation drums of the pirates next door, and the surrounding heat was astonishing.
Even through the white dress, Chase, who was still speaking, could clearly feel the pulse and heat.
For a fleeting moment, he was genuinely afraid that Erza would trigger her body's self-protection mechanism and faint.
Left with no other choice, he could only raise his hand and gently stroke her long, dark hair, signaling her to calm down.
It's impossible to stop.
Although she blushes and gets shy very easily when it comes to romance, this is a striking contrast to Erza's status as the Fairy Queen.
But since they're already in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship, they can't possibly ask Grandma Poliusika to watch over them every time they want to kiss, can they?
The atmosphere is just right, so we can take this opportunity to let her adapt and get used to it.
Yes, it's definitely not because I'm greedy!
With Chess's comforting words, Erza finally regained consciousness, slowly closed her eyes, and shyly gave a response.
Even so, the hands gripping Chase's clothes tightly betrayed his nervousness.
Lucy's devilish whisper echoed in her mind again: "Let me tell you, Erza, a kiss between a boyfriend and girlfriend isn't just a simple lip-to-lip contact, it's—"
Like a drowning person grasping at a straw, Erza, who had long since lost the ability to think, inexplicably opened her mouth slightly, just as the strategist had described.
Just then, Chess, who had intended to stop there, suddenly realized that something incredibly soft and warm had carefully slipped into his mouth!
"I'm going back! See you tomorrow, Mingming!!!"
The moment their lips parted, Erza turned and ran, crashing into a flowerbed and a street lamp, disappearing without a trace in the blink of an eye.
Looking at the chaotic street filled with smoke and dust, Chase smiled and shook his head.
He actually really wanted to ask Erza how she knew about that move.
Having zero or even zero experience in dating, she most likely doesn't understand it, and even if she did, she wouldn't have the courage to put it into practice.
The strategist quipped: You should be secretly happy, you damn card player!
Erza ran all the way back to Team A's designated hotel in one breath—in a truly single breath.
"Erza? How's it going? Is things progressing well with Chesgo?"
As soon as she entered, Lucy, who had been watching the drama unfold, immediately went over to them. Then, unsurprisingly, she was punched away by Erza in a fit of pique and sent flying, embedded in the ceiling in a starfish shape.
"Oh, how scary!"
Natsu, Gray, and Future Gray retreated in fear, huddling together in a tight embrace.
Hearing their gasps, Erza snapped back to reality and began bowing frantically to Lucy, who had fallen from the ceiling, apologizing repeatedly.
"I'm so sorry, Lucy! I'm so sorry! I... I got too excited!"
Lucy, who finally received the same treatment as Natsu, rubbed her aching back and thought to herself how grateful she was that her physical abilities had improved.
The next second, her eyes lit up as she caught a clue in Erza's words: "Did you...did you do it? That move!"
"Mmm," Erza's voice was barely audible.
"That's amazing! Tell me, what was it like? And in what setting was it done? What was Chess's reaction?"
Lucy gripped her hand tightly, asking questions relentlessly, completely forgetting all about the pain.
Natsu, Happy, Future Lucy and the others immediately perked up their ears, the two Wendy blushed and held their breath, and even Future Erza silently moved closer to them.
However, before Erza could answer, the door that had been closed was violently opened once again.
Everyone in the room was startled: their counterparts had not yet returned to the cards.
Fortunately, the person who came was Future Natsu, who was carrying Future Happy.
"Ugh! If it weren't for that rich girl, I would have definitely beaten that jerk of a student council president who doesn't value his teammates to a pulp!"
"Ai—. Sorry Natsu, I'm the one who dragged you down."
"It's not Happy's fault!"
Young lady? That bastard student council president? Beat him down?!
Hearing the conversation between the person and the cat, everyone's strong desire to watch the drama unfold instantly vanished.
Erza frowned slightly, then immediately put on a serious face and went up to ask them what had happened.
Through Habi's indignant explanation, the whole story came to light.
Upon arriving at the tavern, Makarov stopped the impending brawl and, in a fit of anger, sent all the troublemakers back to the inn.
On their way back, Future Natsu, Future Lucy, and the others encountered Yukino, the Celestial Spirit Mage of Sabertooth.
As a result of her defeat in today's battle, just like in the original story, she had her guild crest revoked and was kicked out by Future Germain, who believed in the ideology of the strong.
In reality, if it were just a simple loss of points, it wouldn't be this bad; at most, he would just get a severe scolding from Germain.
For example, in the future, Luffort and Stinger are lagging behind in competitive sports.
If defeat meant certain death, then Saberbite Tiger would have been wiped out long ago.
What Future Germain found unbearable was that Future Yukino, who had risked her life against others, was ultimately "pitied" by her opponent!
This is undoubtedly a humiliation of Saberbite Tiger's strongest guild, a complete disgrace!
Therefore, Yukino, who had nowhere else to go, came here specifically to give her Zodiac key to Lucy, who was more suitable.
In the future, Lucy saw her bond and feelings for the Celestials and naturally did not accept it.
Future Natsu secretly chased after her to apologize to Future Yukino—he had previously thought that all the Sabertooth guys were bad people.
Then they learned about Yukino's experience at Sabertooth, and then they went straight to the mansion where Sabertooth was staying.
(Minerva came here early after seeing the rankings from the Grand Magic Games.)
"Wait, Natsu, that young lady you were talking about—"
After the initial shock, Lucy noticed a crucial piece of information: "What's your name?"
When she saw Sabertooth appear in the qualifiers, she felt very strange, wondering why she didn't see Minerva among the participants.
"Huh? I didn't say that." Natsu looked puzzled.
"I'm not asking you!!" Lucy turned around and scolded angrily.
Future Natsu was stumped: "I think her name is Mi-um, what was it again? Midora?"
"Love! It's Milebaba!"
Future Happy gave Future Natsu a disdainful look. "Natsu is really something, he can't even remember a name!"
"Is it Minerva?"
Gray's words silenced the seemingly confident Dead Cat.
No answer was needed; the expressions of sudden realization on the faces of both the person and the cat said it all.
"Just as I thought—" Lucy sighed.
"Do you know her?" Future Erza asked.
She knew that the Sabertooth Guild Master from another world was Uru, but she had never heard of the name "Minerva".
"Yes, I've met her before. She's a very considerate child," Lucy said with a smile.
"Um, Natsuko, what does Minerva look like now?" Wendy blinked her big eyes curiously.
During the campaign to defeat the Oración Seis, she fought alongside Minerva to defeat Erigor of the Iron Forest.
Having forged a deep friendship, they even made a pact to visit each other's guilds whenever they had the chance.
So, Wendy was very happy to hear news of her best friend seven years in the future.
Future Natsu thought about it carefully and described it succinctly: "That bastard is very strong."
"strong.·
Wendy was stunned for a moment and instinctively took two steps back.
The image of Elfman with Minerva's face appeared in his little head.
"Ai~ Natsu means she's amazing. If you're asking about her figure, she's even more erotic than Lucy's~" Future Happy explained cheekily.
"What does this have to do with Watashi?!"
"Wow, where's the lewdness in that?!"
The two Lucys shouted loudly.
"Even more than Lucy—"
Wendy held onto an imaginary chest through the air, her eyes filled with tears.
In the future, Wendy crouched in the corner of the bed with a look of despair on her face—even though she didn't know Minerva.
"Feed Lucy and Wendy, though I don't know who those people are over there."
Future Natsu's expression suddenly turned extremely serious, "But Sabertooth's scent—"
"I hate it."
