The magic merchant who mingled with Fairy Tail

"Hey, Kira! Do you have any novels that tell horror stories in your store?"

Natsu and Happy decided to write a book for Lucy, so they found the 'Hope House' and planned to let Kira come up with ideas. However, this naturally playful person and cat healed their scars and forgot about the pain. For some unknown reason, they even thought of writing a horror novel for Lucy.

Seeing their excited expressions, Kira complained: "If you want to give gifts, there are obviously better choices, right?"

Natsu and Happy looked at each other, then both turned their heads.

"But that wouldn't be fun, would it?"

"That's right! Books that are too boring have no commemorative meaning! They must be unforgettable enough!"

"When Lucy is too scared to sleep because of the horror novel, we will sneak into her room to scare her..."

"Hey... Is it really okay to say things like raiding a girl's room at night so openly? Natsu!" Kira said, holding her forehead speechlessly, "It's because of you, the innocent and lovely Habi That’s why I’ll be led astray by you!”

"No! That's what Habi is like!"

"..."

Kira was speechless, clasping the book in his hand on his face and continuing to rest: "Whatever, you guys! If you are looking for horror novels, check out the book section over there!"

One person and one cat were looking left and right in front of the bookshelf in the store, looking up and down. However, since Natsu and Happy were both illiterate and did not have much research on this subject, not only did they not find the "horror story" they were looking for. , but it made a mess.

"Natsu, how about this one?"

"Not good..."

"Happy, where's this one?"

"It's boring..."

It didn’t take long for the library area to become a place where one man and one cat were chasing each other.

Suddenly, Natsu lost his footing and his body hit a bookshelf uncontrollably.

"not good!"

Bang! Bang! ! Bang bang bang! ! !

Rows of bookshelves were like bony Nomi cards, collapsing one after another, stirring up a thick cloud of dust, and Natsu and Happy were naturally trapped under countless books, making them miserable.

"What are you two guys doing!"

Kira's angry shout came, which shocked Natsu and Habi: "It's over!"

"Pack them up one by one according to their numbers, otherwise... you know the consequences, right?"

Feeling the terrifying magic power overflowing from Kira's body, Natsu and Habi couldn't help hugging each other tightly, sweating and trembling: "Yes... we know..."

Half a day later...

"Huh? Hubby, come here and take a look at this!"

Hubby's small body came closer, his eyes full of curiosity: "What is it?"

"This!" Natsu held up a book in the stack with a strange expression on his face.

This is a book with a black cover. It looks a little worn, the surface is covered with dust, and it is unknown how many years it has been in existence.

Habi glanced at it and asked doubtfully: "Is there anything strange about this book?"

"Look carefully here!" Natsu pointed at the cover of the book, "Does it look familiar to you?"

Habi followed the instructions and saw a scarlet magic circle painted with unknown runes on it. It was strange, complex, and layered. Around the magic circle, there were skulls, sickles and other symbols symbolizing death. It makes the entire cover look even more eerie.

"Natsu, what's wrong?"

"I can't explain clearly, but I always feel that this magic circle is very familiar, and there is a very strange magic power on it!"

"Familiar? Have you seen it somewhere before?"

"I don't know! Although it's familiar, I have no impression at all!"

"When you say that, it feels so familiar to me! Moreover, it's as clear as etched in my mind, and I can draw it even with my eyes closed! It's strange, it's obviously the first time I've seen it..."

As the conversation gradually became lowered, the surrounding environment began to become dark, gloomy and strange.

After a long silence, Natsu suddenly said: "Hey, Happy!"

"What's wrong, Natsu?"

Natsu's voice became terrifying: "Look carefully, this magic circle..."

Habi's face gradually began to sweat: "This magic circle...?"

"Could it be that..."

Habi swallowed: "Is this...?"

"Are you calling me?"

A cold voice suddenly rang in my ears, and what appeared with it was a face without a face! !

"Ahhhh!!!"

"Here comes the faceless man!!!"

The sudden shocking scene made Natsu and Habi furious!

Boom! Boom!

"I asked you to clean up the bookshelf, what are you doing?"

Kira took off his mask and punched the man and the cat out of their fright.

Tears and snot were flying all over Habi's face: "Uuuuuuuuuuuah...Kira, you bastard! You scared the cat to death!!"

"Okay, okay..." Kira stroked Happy's cat hair happily and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

One minute later...

Kira gently stroked the book handed over by Natsu and said while recalling: "I have an impression of this book. I bought it at the fair when I went to attend a party in the royal capital of Kurokas two years ago. It was something I got. At the time, I just thought the magic on it was very weird, and I wanted to bring it back to study it, but later I forgot about it when I was busy."

Under the gaze of Natsu and Happy, Kira slowly opened the magic book in her hand.

There are not many pages in this book, only about thirty, but each page is as thick as a fingernail. On the yellowed parchment, strange dark green words are densely written, and the strokes reveal a sinister atmosphere. Weird dark magic.

Natsu asked in confusion: "Kira, what is written on this?"

"I don't know! It's a text I've never seen before! I just thought it was too troublesome at the time, so I put it aside."

Hubby stared with frightened eyes: "This is not something that can be safely thrown aside, right?!"

"Then what can I do? I don't know this word...wait!"

Kira's voice made Natsu and Happy's hearts jump: "What's wrong?"

"Look here!"

One person and one cat followed Kira's hand, and there was also a strange line of dark green text there.

"What's going on here...?"

"Here it says [The gears of destiny will be activated at dusk]."

"Eh?! Didn't you say you don't know this kind of writing?"

"I really don't know you! But I don't know why, but I can understand this sentence! How strange!" Kira frowned, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Well... maybe this is the kind of person who has certain conditions. Magic words that only humans can understand!"

When Natsu heard this, he immediately became interested: "Eh?! Is there such a magic? It's so interesting!"

Kira waved her hand: "Oh? It's rare that you are interested. In this case, I will give this book to you."

"Really?"

"Of course!" Kira nodded, and suddenly thought of something, and suggested, "By the way! You can try showing it to others, maybe they can see something too!"

Natsu and Happy looked at each other: "That makes sense! You really deserve to be Kira!"

"If you finally discover the secret of this book, you must tell me!"

"No problem! Let's go, Happy!"

"Ouch!"

After Natsu and Happy left in a hurry, the sound of chattering suddenly came from the Hope cabin, followed by a burst of sinister and maniacal laughter.

"He believed it! He really believed it! This is a great idea! Hahaha!!!"

The words were divided, Natsu and Happy were about to go find Lucy, but they met Erza and Gray.

"If Kira can understand the text, then Erza should be able to, too, right?"

"You can ask!"

After some deliberation, one person and one cat came forward to stop the two of them and explain the whole story.

"Weird book?"

With suspicion, the two took the magic book and looked at it for a long time...

"This pattern is really strange. It's obviously the first time I've seen it, but it feels like I've seen it many times!"

Erza flipped the book over and over several times, and said hesitantly: "Well... I don't know this kind of writing, but there is indeed a sentence in it that I can understand!"

Natsu and Happy looked excited: "Are you serious?! What is it?!"

Erza pointed to one of the lines of text: "Here it says [Those who know the truth will be cursed]!"

"Eh?! Curse...will we be cursed?!" Natsu and Happy were both shocked by what Erza said.

However, unlike these two people whose IQs were insufficient, Erza was a little calmer, so she just said in a calm tone: "Who knows! But it seems that Kira's guess is correct, there is indeed that kind of magic on it. The magic of 'different people can see different words'!"

With that said, Erza handed the magic book to Gray again, "It must have some kind of magic added, right? It's quite interesting!"

Gray took the book, looked through it twice, and exclaimed: "It's amazing! I can actually understand this kind of text?! It says [Blizzard will gradually eat away the trapped beast]!"

Cold sweat broke out on Habi's head: "Natsu... I think it's better not to continue investigating..."

Hearing his partner's dissuasion, Natsu felt anxious and angry: "Damn it! Even Gray can understand one sentence, why can't I understand it?!"

Erza was also very surprised by Natsu's situation: "This is indeed strange!"

Gray scoffed, "Maybe it's because Natsu is an idiot that he can't understand?"

"Huh?!" Natsu's anger +1+1...

Sensing that the atmosphere was not good, Habi hurriedly tried to dissuade him: "Hey... calm down, Natsu..."

But it's too late.

"In this case, no matter how many people I find, I will definitely translate this book!" Natsu was covered in flames, with an even more excited look on his face, "I'm on fire!"

"Eh??!!"

Before leaving, Erza reminded: "I have never seen this kind of writing before. You can actually ask Lebby!"

This sentence woke up the dreamer, and Natsu and Habi suddenly realized: "Yes!"
