Fairy Tail: Marrying the Dragon Slayer Queen Irene at the Beginning

Chapter 222: Ian has another child, and Escanor arrives! So, how many children does Ian have?
evening.

After continuous fighting.

Brandish and Dimalia, dragging their tired bodies, followed Lucy back to the door of the rental house.

However, before everyone was ready to enter Lucy's cabin, Lucy intercepted Dimalia and Brandish behind her...

"Something happened?!"

Dimaria and Brandish looked at Lucy who suddenly stopped them, with a hint of doubt in their eyes.

"Cough cough..."

"So why am I always the one who gets hurt?!"

Lucy looked at Brandish and Dimalia beside her and spoke with tears in her eyes.

Well, Lucy really hated Buti and Tia from the bottom of her heart.

After all, Buti has a criminal record...

Until now, this guy is still plotting against the Aquarius Aquarius Star Key in Lucy's hand.

"Anyway..."

"We must make three rules!"

"You two, since you are going to live in my house, then listen to me. In my house, I am the boss! You must obey me in everything."

Lucy spoke forcefully.

"Hey, Lucy, you've grown up. You dare to talk to me like that?!"

"Mingming, I am your big sister."

"Have you forgotten what we said when we were at the Heartfilia mansion? I said that when you and I came out, you had to obey me in everything. Have you forgotten it? Lucy..."

Hearing this, Brandish glanced at Lucy and sneered.

"Forehead……"

"Now, I don't want to discuss with you who is the boss."

"I'm only going to tell you one thing now."

"In this territory, you must listen to me..."

Cold sweat broke out on Lucy's forehead. She was obviously very scared, but she still spoke with a bluffing tone.

"never mind……"

"Since you look so scared, I'll just listen to you."

"Anyway, only when we're in your room."

When Brandish heard this, she looked at Lucy deeply and sneered.

"Finally I managed to get past it."

Lucy breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that.

As long as Brandish and Timaria are obedient, everything will be fine.

Well, Lucy didn't have any requirements for Brandish and Dimalia, she just hoped that these two wouldn't cause trouble.

"In that case, come in!"

Lucy said as she opened her door and walked in with Brandish and Dimalia.

Then Lucy was dumbfounded.

It was because Lucy was surprised to find that there was already someone in her cabin.

Moreover, the people in this cottage are all Lucy's acquaintances.

"Lucy, welcome back!"

Natsu, Gray, Juvia, Erza, Bradman, Jacob, Neinhart, seven people were sitting in Lucy's room, seemingly discussing something...

When Lucy, Dimalia and Brandish came back, they immediately put down what they were doing, greeted the three of them and welcomed them warmly.

For a moment, Lucy actually had the illusion that she was the guest of this house, and Natsu and the others were the owners of this house.

"no……"

"Why are you guys in my room?"

Lucy was silent for a long time, then she almost collapsed and shouted.

"Lucy, I know you're anxious! But don't be anxious yet."

Erza looked at the collapsed Lucy and immediately tried to persuade her.

"How can I not be anxious?!"

Lucy looked at Erza weakly, the light in her eyes suddenly disappearing.

Well, this is her home after all.

"Because tomorrow we will go to the Ishgar Light Magister Guild to report to the gathering place of the new black magic cult coalition army..."

"So, I was thinking! For the sake of our mutual understanding, we should get together and hold a combat meeting or something."

Erza said so.

Well, Erza's words made sense and Lucy couldn't refute them at all.

"So, if it's a war plan meeting, why is it held in my house?!"

Lucy looked at Erza and asked.

"Because, only your house, Lucy's, is the most suitable~"

"After all, Lucy, you are a very clean little girl!"

"Your home exudes a sense of warmth everywhere, making people feel comfortable staying here..."

"It's completely different from my house, which is covered with swords and armor all over the floor. It looks like a mess, like a store room."

Erza smiled slightly and said so.

"Ah, this..."

When Lucy heard this, she didn't know what to do for a moment.

To be honest, when Lucy received Erza's praise, she still felt embarrassed.

Lucy's cheeks were flushed, and she said shyly: "Actually, our family is not as good as you said, Erza~"

"Anyway, the operational meeting begins..."

Erza knew that Lucy was the easiest to coax, so she curved her lips and began the combat meeting against the Black Magic Cult!
Well, she, the fairy queen Erza, easily controlled Lucy with just a wave of her hand.

"Erusa-sama."

"In fact, when we were ordered to come to Ishgar Continent for a mission this time, we moved our respective manors in the Albares Empire here for the sake of quality of life."

"Everyone, why don't we go to the manor where Brandish and I live together? After all, there are servants in the manor who are responsible for our daily lives, and there are also all kinds of delicious food..."

At this moment, Timaria seemed to have thought of something. She looked up at Erza and said so.

"oh?!"

"You even moved the manor specially prepared for the 'Twelve Holy Shields' in the Albares Empire?!"

Erza was slightly stunned when she heard this. She asked, "I don't know where you built the manor? There shouldn't be a place in Magnolia Town to place a 'Shield-Class' manor, right?"

Well, the Empire is still very generous to the 'Twelve Shields'!
Each of the Twelve Shields owns a large estate of about ten square kilometers, or a private island, as a place to rest...

Moreover, the Empire has specially equipped every Twelve Shields-level magician with at least one thousand attendants to take care of their daily lives.

It can be said that Neinhart, Jacob, and Bradman followed Erza to the continent of Ishgar to suffer and be tempered here.

"No, the manor is not in the town of Magnolia..."

"Instead, we put it in a box."

Dimalia said as she moved in directly. In the morning, she left her suitcase at Lucy's house. After opening the suitcase...

Suddenly, a super mini version of a microscopic manor appeared in front of everyone, as if it was built with exquisite Lego bricks.

"I see. You brought the entire city with you?"

Seeing this, Erza's eyes widened. She finally understood what Dimaria meant. So what they meant by packing up the manor and bringing it here...

It meant that Brandish would use her shape-shifting magic to shrink the cities where their respective manors were located to the limit, put them in suitcases, and carry them here.

"Okay, so big..."

Lucy looked at the city in the suitcase and couldn't help but admire it.

You know, even the small town of Magnolia is only the size of a ball in front of Brandish's extreme shrinking technique.

However, the city in front of him, which was jointly ruled by Timaria and Brandish, filled the entire suitcase.

Let’s not talk about the volume of this suitcase…

The floor area should be at least one square meter.

"Everyone, come in!"

Brandish said as she activated her magic, shrinking herself, Timaria, Erza, Natsu, Gray, Lucy, Happy, Jacob, Neinhart, and Bradman to the size of a city in a suitcase.

"boom!"

When everyone entered the city, their ears were suddenly filled with bursts of noise.

“Takoyaki, delicious takoyaki!”

"Fish and chips, anyone?! This is a famous dish of the Empire..."

"Candied haws and apple candies..."

The feeling people have when facing this city is that it is prosperous, extremely prosperous, and the streets and alleys are filled with a peaceful atmosphere...

Also, this city is obviously the product of the collision and fusion of multiple cultures.

"The city under our feet is called 'Aquarius'. It was built specifically to commemorate Aquia. In the center of the city, there is a sculpture of Aquia..."

"By the way, the area of ​​this city is about twenty times that of Magnolia! The permanent population is comparable to that of Crocus, the capital of your Kingdom of Fiore, at around one million."

Brandish looked at Lucy and said so.

"In other words, you shrunk a megacity with a population of over a million, right?"

"And put this megacity in a suitcase and carry it with you, right?"

After hearing what Brandish said, Lucy felt her heart pounding. Her eyelids kept twitching as she looked at Brandish, thinking to herself, "Where did you come from?!"

"You can say that……"

"After all, I can't sleep well if I leave this city."

Brandish yawned and spoke lazily.

Well, because Brandish was a rather "selective" person, he could only pack up his hometown and put it in a suitcase and take it away.

"This girl Brandish's nickname is the Collapse of the Nation."

"Because this girl once single-handedly shrunk the capital of a hostile country into a ball and placed it in the Albares Empire Museum as a display for a month..."

Dimaria spoke proudly, looking at the shocked expressions on Lucy and the others' faces.

"Impressed……"

Lucy smiled bitterly and spoke with admiration.

"Anyway, let's go check out my manor!"

"The manor where I live as the 'Twelve Holy Shields'..."

"It was built by the Empire's craftsmen based on the Heartfilia family's ancestral home where Lucy grew up. It was restored one-to-one, even the bedrooms and furniture were exactly the same."

"Because my mother and Lucy's mother, Lady Leila, have long been accustomed to living in the ancestral home of the Heartfilia family..."

"If I do this, my mother and Lady Leila will feel like they are back home when they come to my house."

"At the same time, the Aquarius star spirit Aquia, who has been passed down from generation to generation by the Heartfilia family, has already gotten used to the ancestral home."

Brandish looked at Lucy and softly explained the decoration style of the manor where she lived.

"Lucy, please help me take a good look at it later..."

"If there is anything wrong with my manor, I will change it in time."

"We must not let Mother, Lady Leila, and Aqua down."

Brandish seemed to look at Lucy as she preached with a hint of provocation.

"Do not worry!"

"After all, this is where I grew up..."

"I'll help you polish the details."

Lucy was no pushover either. She deliberately emphasized the pronunciation of the words "grew up" in Heartfilia Manor...

It shows that Lucy herself got what Brandish had always dreamed of since the day she was born.

"Haha, I'll leave it to you then."

Brandish smiled, she didn't seem to care about anything.

However, everyone could tell from Brandish's gradually clenched fists and the bulging veins on her fair neck that she actually cared a lot.

Lucy: "I finally have a way to beat Brandish! Although I still have to rely on mother's help."

Well, Lucy's battle with Brandish was.

Lucy was born in the Heartfilia ancestral home, and received the Aquarius Aquarius Star Key from Madam Gramer, which was Lucy's victory.

Because Lucy wins one, Lucy wins two.

Because Lucy wins two, Lucy wins three.

Three lives and all things!

Victory is endless...

Brandish failed miserably!
Just when Brandish and Lucy were facing each other...

A child with the same short brown hair as Ian, about one meter tall, about two years old, holding a candied haws in his left hand and an ice cream in his right hand, slowly passed by Erza and the others under the protection of three attendants...

Well, Erza and the child just looked at each other for a second in the crowd and immediately recognized each other's identity.

"Erusa zeizei (sister)~"

The child noticed Erza, who had beautiful, flowing, crimson hair, and spoke incoherently with his big, bright eyes shining with stars.

"You are, Brother Escanor?"

Erza looked at the one-meter-tall child and raised her eyebrows.

"Ok?"

After Erza finished speaking, everyone finally saw the child's appearance clearly. They were stunned and said, "Escanor, brother?!"

"Yes……"

"This is father, the youngest child."

"Also one of my brothers, Escanor."

Seeing this, Erza covered her head with a splitting headache and gently explained to everyone the true identity of the child who was only about two years old...

Yes, that child is Ian and Selene's youngest son, Escanor.

"Another Ian's kid?!"

"Wait, why are we saying again?"

"By the way, how many children does Brother Ian have?"

"No matter how you look at it, it's really too much, isn't it?"

In this regard, Natsu, Gray, and Juvia, who witnessed with their own eyes that Ian's children came to the Fairy Tail Guild one by one to recognize their relatives, the old members of the guild, couldn't help but complain loudly.

Well, with Ian's baby-making speed...

It seems that the banner of the future revival of the dragon clan will fall on Ian's shoulders.

It seems that the banner of the dragon clan's revival has fallen on Ian's family.

"Does Ian have many children?" Only Lucy, the newcomer, looked confused.

"Of course it's a lot..."

"Ougast, Erza, Kurnuki, Elle, and this one in front of us, a child who is only two years old this year. There are five of them that we know of."

After listening to Lucy's words, Gray explained patiently.

"Five?"

“That’s a lot indeed…”

When Lucy heard that Ian already had five children, she immediately shut her mouth.

Well, in fact, Ian has far more than five children.

Then, Erza looked at Escanor and couldn't help asking, "Escanor, why are you here? Where are father, mother, and Aunt Selene? Did they let you out alone?"

"Erza, this is what happened..."

"I originally came to Aquarius City to play under the protection of the 'Three Moonlit Goddesses', the guards that my mother arranged for me."

“Suddenly, the city became smaller.”

"After this, we were packed into the suitcase along with the city."

"After that, we met my sister."

Escanor explained hastily.

Perhaps it was because little Escanor was still too young and his speech was a little unclear.

"Brandish..."

Erza heard this, she had figured out everything, turned her head to look at Brandish, and said angrily: "Before you shrunk the city, didn't you first find out who is in your city?"

"I am truly sorry, Princess Erza."

"I never thought that His Royal Highness Prince Escanor would be in my city."

Upon hearing this, Brandish explained in a panic.

Well, Brandish really didn’t expect that…

Ian's most lively child, Escanor, was actually shrunk by her and put into a suitcase.

"Although, Buti has many reasons..."

"But no matter how you think about it, putting a prince of an empire into a suitcase and taking him away is a serious crime, right?"

After thinking for a while, Dimalia looked at the crowd and preached.

"Tia, please don't make trouble for me here..."

Brandish sighed helplessly. Ever since she came to the continent of Ishgar, she has been facing all kinds of troubles...

First, she was repeatedly taught a lesson, and then she faced the punishment of trafficking the prince of the empire to other continents. Her life was really difficult.

If she had known this earlier, even if she died, Brandish would not have accepted the mission commissioned by Ian to go to the Ishgar continent and join Fairy Tail for training.

"Hey hey hey..."

Tia smiled softly when she heard this.

"Anyway, let's take this kid with us to the manor."

"After the meeting, I will contact my father and mother to pick up my brother."

Erza sighed and spoke weakly.

In the end, it was Erza who took on everything instead of Brandish.

"Sister Erza..."

"Sister Brandish, Sister Dimalia, Uncle Jacob, Brother Neinhart, Uncle Bradman."

Escanor has a super sweet mouth, and coupled with his adorable appearance, he instantly boosted the favorability of the Twelve Shields.

"I think it's okay to take the little prince with me..."

Neinhart looked at the lovely Escanor and said,

"Indeed."

Jacob nodded vigorously.

"I will protect him."

Bradman said so.

"so cute……"

As for Dimaria and Brandish, they vied to hold Escanor in their arms.

"Ugh……"

"If only Escanor could keep his night form."

Erza looked at Escanor, who was fooling around with five of the 'Twelve Holy Shields', and she couldn't help but sigh.

Yes, only Erza, a member of Escanor's family, understands that Escanor, who is blessed by the sun, has two completely different faces during the day and at night.

Escanor is as humble at night as he is arrogant during the day.

Yes, Erza blamed Escanor for running around, not because Erza was worried about Escanor's safety, but because she was worried about the safety of this city and its millions of people.

Escanor is not so humble during the day.

Although, Escanor doesn't care and won't actively attack people.

However, just living normally next to Escanor during the day is a serious problem for people.

"This is your brother Natsu~"

At this time, Lucy was hugging Escanor and constantly introducing him to the members of the Fairy Tail Guild: "There is also Brother Gray, Sister Juvia, and the mean cat Happy."

"Brother Natsu, Brother Greg, Sister Juvia, and the lovely Happy~"

Escanor greeted Natsu and the others politely.

"So cute~"

"Compared to the rude companions of our Fairy Tail guild..."

"Even Lucy's induction had no effect. It was so elegant!"

After receiving Escanor's praise, Happy was immediately conquered by him.

"Is this really Ian's child? His personality is totally different from Ian's!"

Gray was shocked by Escanor's grace.

Well, Ian's family in Gray's impression are all crazy...

They are all the ones who have the final say and their words are final!

Probably Erza is like this.

"Will Juvia and Gray-sama's children be this cute in the future?"

"Juvia is very curious! She plans to try it with Gray-sama..."

Juvia blushed and mumbled.

"Sniff, sniff..."

Natsu was the only one among the crowd. He looked at Escanor carefully, with a hint of vigilance in his eyes...

For some reason, Natsu's heart was filled with alarm bells. He instinctively thought that the two-year-old child in front of him was too difficult to deal with.

"Natsu, what the hell is wrong with you?!"

Seeing this, everyone asked Natsu.

"This child is not simple."

Natsu said.

"Incredible..."

"I never thought that our dragon clan would give birth to such a horrible child."

"Surpassing all fire dragons, the sun dragon with the ultimate temperature!"

“Perhaps the sun can really drive away all evil!”

"Even Acnologia, which is powerful enough to devour all the magic in the world, might be exposed by the sun's rays..."

Inside Natsu's body, Igneel looked at the two-year-old Escanor in front of him through Natsu's perspective, in shock. It would be fine if others couldn't see it, but as the True Dragon King, how could he not see that Escanor was extraordinary? !

When Igneel saw Escanor for the first time through Natsu's perspective, he had already determined Escanor's attributes and source of power!
When the stars and the moon come together...

The sun, as the 'foundation' of the universe, came into being.

"Thank you three for your hard work."

Just as the Twelve Shields and Fairy Tail Mages were surrounding the cute Escanor, chattering non-stop...

Erza was thanking the three servants that Selene had personally selected for Escanor, the 'Three Beautiful Goddesses Under the Moon', who had been blessed with 'Dragon Slayer Magic', gained epic enhancements, and possessed strength comparable to 'Weak Shield' level.

"It's not hard, this is what we should do."

After being comforted by Erza, the 'Three Beautiful Goddesses' gently wiped away the tears from their eyes. Finally, someone understood how the three of them felt.

No one understood better than the three of them how difficult it was to extinguish Escanor at noon.

This is one of the reasons why they always send Escanor back to Black Moon Mountain before dawn.

Only Black Moon Mountain is the territory and training ground of Selene, the Moon Dragon.

That place that is forever shrouded in darkness and has a full moon night that lasts for a year is the closest place to the moon among the three realms, and only then can Escanor's power be effectively suppressed.

At the same time, it is also for this reason...

Therefore, apart from Ian's family and the personal attendant who was responsible for Escanor's daily life, no one knew what Escanor looked like during the day? !
"From now on, leave Escanor to me."

"You three should go back and rest for a while!"

Erza looked at the exhausted 'Three Beautiful Gods' in front of her. She couldn't bear it after all, so she tried to persuade them.

"Thank you for your kindness, Erza-sama."

After receiving Erza's reward, the 'Three Beautiful Gods' were filled with gratitude, and immediately opened the Water Wing Portal, disappearing on the spot as if escaping.

"Where are Escanor's guards?!"

After the 'Three Beautiful Gods' left, Lucy walked over curiously, holding Escanor, and asked Erza.

"left……"

"I thought that maybe it's time for Escanor to learn to control his power, so I let the three of them go back first."

"Escanor, how do you feel about being with your sister from now on?!"

Erza asked after she reached out and gently stroked Escanor's little head.

"Well, Escanor likes onee-sama the best."

Escanor responded to Erza with a smile.

"very good."

"Then let's start the war meeting."

After Erza got Escanor's response, she looked at everyone and preached.

"it is good."

Without any hesitation, everyone followed Erza's command and headed towards Brandish's manor.

As Brandish said...

Brandish's estate is exactly the same as the ancestral home of the Heartfilia family.

It can be said that it is exactly the same.

"Brandish, you are so good!"

In this regard, Lucy couldn't help but glance at Brandish and said helplessly: "If you really like the Heartfilia family so much, then you will inherit the position of the next head of the Heartfilia family. I don't care about these at all."

"Do not misunderstand……"

"I have no interest in the Heartfilia family."

"I just simply like the house that my mother likes..."

Brandish shrugged and spoke nonchalantly.

"Okay, stop talking nonsense..."

"First, let me tell you about the intelligence we got."

"There are six cadres in this new black magic cult. It is said that they are not human. They are called the 'Six Prayers of the Devil'. Their methods are extremely cruel..."

"According to our informant who is undercover in the Black Magic Cult, their strength is unfathomable! They are as powerful as demons."

“So you have to be mentally prepared.”

Erza looked at everyone and spoke in a deep voice.

"Is the enemy so dangerous?"

Lucy and the others turned pale when they heard this.

"As powerful as a demon?"

"But I am the devil itself..."

"They are just a group of worshippers not recognized by Master Zeref. It's no big deal."

On the contrary, the expressions of the Twelve Holy Shields were somewhat disdainful, and Bradman even snorted coldly, expressing his disgust and ridicule for these black magic and black magic cults in his words.

"Besides, the most powerful demon in the world is right next to us."

Bradman said this and looked directly at Natsu.

"I am not a demon."

Natsu retorted angrily after hearing this.

"Ah, yes, yes..."

"You are absolutely right."

Bradman didn't argue much, just nodded.

"The so-called plan is..."

"You just watch the battle from the sidelines. The task of fighting the enemy will be left to us, the Twelve Holy Shields. Okay, the combat meeting is over, and you can rest now."

Neinhart yawned. To be honest, he was a little sleepy.

"Forehead……"

"Speaking of which, I feel particularly relieved when I think that Brandish is my teammate."

Lucy, who was originally in a panic, relaxed immediately after seeing the five 'Twelve Holy Shields' around her...

When the 'Twelve Shields of the Holy Spirit' become teammates, it seems that there is no enemy in this world that is invincible.

"Come to think of it, I am a little curious about that undercover."

"You have to tell us his identity, right?!"

"Don't wait until the battle begins. We accidentally kill the enemy and the undercover agent together."

Dimalia frowned.

"Speaking of undercover..."

"In fact, he is related to someone here with us."

"Yes, this undercover agent is Silver Folpasta."

Upon hearing this, Erza once again revealed shocking news.

"Huh? My dad!"

This time, it was Gray's turn to be shocked. He really couldn't understand why his father, who said he wanted to eliminate all demons and learn how to kill demons, went to a terrorist organization and became an undercover agent? !
