The magic merchant who mingled with Fairy Tail

"Ah, another fine day!"

In the early morning, Kira opened the door and stretched, then turned around and shouted, "You guys are looking after the store for me! If you just delayed the customers, get out of here!"

"Yes...yes...I know!" Dispel replied weakly without raising his head, lying on the counter of Hope House, holding the novel in Kira's shop.

He seemed to have aged several years, with some of his red hair beginning to turn white. There were heavy dark circles under his eyes, and his face was thin, without any of the high-spiritedness he had when he first appeared on the scene.

After several days of hard reading day and night, Dispere was completely immersed in the world of novels. He felt uncomfortable without reading novels for a day, and felt as if something was missing in his heart.

Women affect how quickly I draw a knife, but novels don’t!

Ten days ago, Disper would never have believed that he would say such a thing, but when Kira advised him not to indulge, he blurted out these words without hesitation, and cried after saying it. He laughed again, looking like a fool.

Kira was a little confused at first, but after thinking about it, she roughly understood Disper's mood.

A person who has only had swords in his heart for twenty years becomes addicted and depraved after accidentally coming into contact with the novel. He ignores his body every day and only thinks about getting the supreme pleasure that can make him happy. Isn't this a kind of NTR? ?

There is both the self-condemnation of conscience and the joy of betrayal... Oh, it should be the pleasure of reading novels. It is normal to have this kind of reaction. Dispere has been poisoned by novels...

Kira hated him when she thought of how this guy was willing to work for her just to read novels!

"I really didn't expect you to be a guy who is addicted to novels. That's too bad! Does this count as Kira?!"

Dispere turned a deaf ear.

Kira shook his head helplessly, hoping that his reputation as a 'sage' would be of some use and help him recover from such torture as soon as possible and break free.

After leaving the store under Dispel's care, Kira walked along the central street for a few minutes and arrived at the construction site of the new guild, where she began a new day of supervision.

"Natsu, bring the wood over there..."

"Gray, move the wood over here..."

"Elfman, split the wood for me..."

Under Kira's order, this group of guys with so much strength that they had nowhere to go was constantly dumping wood in the construction site...

"It's so noisy! What on earth are you doing moving around like this?!"

"Why doesn't Kira have to work and can still direct us to work?!"

"Damn it, I really want to command them like this!"

Erza came over wearing a construction hat and construction clothes, carrying lumber on her shoulders: "No way, who bought this land, otherwise we wouldn't be able to build a guild here."

If Kira is the supervisor, then Erza is the construction leader. She is always serious about her work, so she also supervises while working.

"Damn it, even the old man is obviously helping, Kira is going too far!"

Erza stretched out her hand and pointed to the side: "As for the president, I just went there with Kira to have tea!"

"Hey, come on!" Noticing Natsu and others looking over, Marklov, who was taking a break drinking black tea at the temporary tea table under the tree, waved and smiled and said hello, "Let's build our guild well!"

"Nani?!"×N

Without ignoring the noise of the crowd, Marklov and Kira started talking.

"So, President, do you mean to go there personally to lead that iron dragon back on track?"

"Yes, according to what the new little girl said, he is not bad in nature and has good talents. It is a pity that he was led bad by Joseph in Ghost," Marklov sighed. Something more serious may have happened.”

"You know, it is the mission of a veteran to bring a young man who has gone astray back to the right path!"

"This is really like your style," Kira took a sip of black tea: "Speaking of which, Teacher Belluno also said similar things when we met in the Senate before."

"Really? It seems that all the old people have the same thoughts. So you agree with my decision?"

Kira nodded and took a sip of the black tea in his hand: "Although I often say that I am the chief of staff of the guild, I am just joking with them. You are the president, so of course you have the final say on this kind of thing!"

"Speaking of which, the new girl you just mentioned..." mid-sentence, Kira saw Juvia hiding behind a tree.

"She is Juvia, who originally had four ghost elements. Mira asked me to take her in because she had nowhere to go. She is also..."

This time Kira learned to answer quickly: "A child who is good-natured but was led astray by Joseph?"

"Ahem...that's right."

Kira felt that Marklov must have agreed because Juvia was a pretty girl, but she was an old man after all, so it was not easy to expose this kind of thing directly, so it was better to save him some face.

After a few more casual conversations, the two quickly ended the conversation and devoted themselves to the construction of the new guild.

A few days later, Marklov left for Waku City to search for Gajeel's whereabouts. Kira also followed him, on the grounds that he wanted to learn the mouth dodge technique from him.

Although Kira's statement was a bit strange, Marklov felt that it was not a bad thing.

In the ruins of the ruins, Gajeel, dressed in rags, sat alone on a pile of rubbish and munched.

He has lost his job since the disbandment of Ghost Ghost. Without a job, he has no income, so he can only look for food here. The discarded iron blocks, iron sheets, iron nails and metal products can be replenished for him. Food for physical strength and magic.

Really, eat garbage, or metal garbage.

"Hey, is iron really that delicious?"

A somewhat familiar voice came from behind. Gajeel turned around when he heard the sound, and saw Marklov standing by the ruins greeting him, with Kira standing behind him.

Seeing the appearance of these two people, Gajeel's body trembled a little. He felt that these two people were here to settle a score with him, and he couldn't defeat these two people now.

But what Marklov said next dispelled his worries: "Juvia joined our guild yesterday..."

"Nani?!"

"She's also worried about you."

"What is that melancholic and gloomy girl thinking?!" Gajeel was surprised, but even more confused about Marklov's purpose.

Marklov directly invited him: "It is impossible for a person to fall into darkness by talking to himself. How about you come to our guild too?"

"Are you kidding?!" Gajeel was shocked at first, then confused, "Are you serious when you ask me that?"

Marklov's tone was serious and his expression was serious: "Although there are people in this world who like to be alone, no one can truly endure loneliness!"

Gajeel noticed that Kira took out his notebook and scribbled something down, but this did not affect his conversation with Marklov.

"But I broke up your guild." Gajeel turned his head away in shame, like a child who broke a vase and dared not face his parents.

"I will not pursue that matter again."

Gajeel raised his head and glanced at Kira with his peripheral vision: "But the guys in your guild..."

"You hurt them..." Marklov said seriously, "Indeed, no matter what, I will not forgive you for this matter."

Just when Gajeel was about to say something, Marklov changed his words: "But if I continue to ignore a young man and fall into darkness, I will be even more unable to forgive myself!"

Swish, swish, Kira quickly memorized Marklov's mouth escape move.

Marklov stretched out his hand to Gajeel: "This is not salvation! This is just the light that guides you towards tomorrow!"

"Change from now on, or wait to die like this, it's up to you."

He was obviously less than half his height, but Marklov looked very tall standing in the light.

As if he had truly received salvation, Gajeel slowly spoke: "I..."

Bang bang, Kira's clapping interrupted what Gajeel was about to say.

"That's great, President! If it were me, I would agree!!"

If I had such evasive skills, would I be afraid that the store wouldn't be able to sell it?

Gajeel looked at Kira in surprise. The two had had arguments before, and he thought that the other party would definitely object to this kind of thing, but it seemed like he didn't.

"Kira Hopelet?"

"This is the president's decision, and I don't have much ill will towards you," Kira said as if to explain, "And Natsu also admires you very much and can't wait to communicate with you in depth every day..."

For Kira, telling lies is a basic operation.

"What's wrong? Or have you figured it out now and want to work in my store? What a pity, that can't be done now. I already have employees in the store..."

"Can you really let go of your grudge? Why?"

After waiting for so long, I finally waited for you to ask this question! Just to answer your question, I went all the way to follow the president to this ghost place! !

"why?"

Seeing Kira's smile as if his plan had succeeded, Gajeel felt something bad in his heart.

"Maybe it's because... you look very similar to my deceased son, hahahaha!!!"

"You guy!!!"
