The magic merchant who mingled with Fairy Tail

Erza's brain was confused at the moment.

In fact, in the past few days, she has inquired a lot about Irene in several nearby towns, including the time of her appearance, her status and image in the hearts of the residents, etc., and since she first met After seeing the photo of Irene, I had some suspicions in my mind.

This person may have an unusual relationship with him.

Then she thought of something Kira once said to her: [If you could see your parents, what would you say to them? If your family comes to visit you in the future, will you recognize them? ...] and so on.

Erza was familiar with Kira's character, and asked him if he knew anything when Kira asked, but in the end Kira prevaricated her.

In the past few days, as she was getting closer and closer to her destination, coupled with the fact that Brandish and Timaria had inadvertently said that they were very similar to Irene, the feeling in Erza's heart arose. Doubts grew.

This suspicion lasted until this moment and was finally confirmed.

Perhaps it was due to the power of family affection. When she saw Irene for the first time, Erza knew that the other person was indeed her biological mother. That kind of touch that seemed to hit her soul could not be deceived.

At this point, all doubts and conjectures made sense!

Erza finally felt relieved, didn't she finally see her mother? acceptable! What's the big deal? No one jumps out of a stone. Isn't it normal to have a mother?

Thinking of this, Erza quickly accepted this fact.

But why? ! Who can tell her? ! Will there be an extra Kira in this? ! !

"Uncle..." Erza looked at Kira speechlessly, her eyes twitching wildly, obviously not believing what he said.

"Hey! I'm here!" Kira puffed up her chest proudly.

The sudden news of the explosion caused everyone present to take a deep breath, and then they exclaimed one after another.

"Eh!?! Is Kira Erza's uncle?! Is it true??!"

As Natsu yelled, the others quickly digested the information in their minds and came to their senses.

"So they have this kind of relationship! No wonder I always think they are similar in some aspects! - For example, they both have red hair, they are both very strong..." Habi seriously counted the similarities between the two of them. .

Gray still looked shocked, with cold sweat breaking out on his forehead: "That person is Erza's mother? What a powerful magic power? We are indeed a family..."

"Same as Erza... no, I feel even more beautiful than Erza!"

Lucy looked at Irene up and down and let out a feminine sigh. In her heart, the image of 'mother' had always been gentle, kind, and even perfect.

"So... so big...!!" Wendy, as usual, focused on the place that mattered most to her. Her little face turned red and white, as if she had received some strong impact.

Kira looked at the stunned Erza, sighed heavily, and said with regret, "Niece, I'm really sorry for hiding these things from you all this time!"

"Let me tell you the truth!"

Let me make up the story!

He turned his sleeves and put his magic wand back into his pocket, then put his hands behind his back and turned towards the sky, leaving behind a silhouette that seemed to have experienced many stories.

"Years ago, your mother, my sister Irene, was the queen of a certain country. The population and comprehensive strength of that country were not inferior to the Kingdom of Fiore we are familiar with. Under her governance, the domestic laws were strict and the economy was prosperous. , magic and technology are flourishing at the same time, and the residents’ lives are peaceful and happy.”

"But the domestic ministers and generals were not satisfied with the rights they had, and their ever-expanding ambitions devoured their souls. They plotted for several years to unite the three surrounding countries, and at the same time colluded with a large number of black magicians and dark servants. Soldiers launched a rebellion at a special time."

"Your mother is a very powerful magician, but that day happened to be the day you were born, and it was also the day when she was at her weakest. The rebels took advantage of this opportunity to launch a rebellion."

"They were ruthless, decisive, and sudden. They captured the palace in less than half a day. In the end, the enemy's army broke through our kingdom and the land was eaten away. Not only that, they also hurt the royal family members. He will kill even the old, weak and young!!!"

"The news of the rebellion caused your mother to have a difficult delivery. Her body became extremely weak after giving birth. In addition, she was outnumbered and there were traitors who stabbed her in the back. She was injured numerous times in her hasty escape... Look there, the wound is on her waist, but it was blocked. ”

"In order to protect your safety, your mother had no choice but to hand you over to her most trusted guard and lure the enemy away by herself. But when she successfully escaped capture and wanted to return to find you, she had completely lost her Your news."

"As the queen's younger brother, I was also on the rebels' hunting list. They didn't let me go! It's just that I was still young and lacked abilities at the time, so I was also entrusted to a guard."

"As for why I know so clearly, in addition to what the guard later told me, it's also because I was born with huge magical power. After I was born, I could remember what I saw and heard in my mind. This is not without precedent. This is how the old man Ogast you met not long ago learned his identity - and I later learned to use memory magic to explore the past, so I can sort out what happened."

Having said this, Kira sighed heavily again, and when he turned around, his face was filled with endless melancholy.

He hugged Erza, who was shocked beyond measure, and said softly: "I know it is difficult for you to accept this news for a while, but you are 20 years old this year, an adult, and you have the right to know your life experience."

"As for whether to forgive your mother for abandoning you and whether to recognize her, the decision is yours!"

At this time, Erza's whole brain was shut down and she was at a loss because the story Kira told was too outrageous, and the feeling of absurdity lingered in her heart. She glanced in the direction of Irene, who didn't look at her, but turned sideways, looking up at the sky quietly, looking desolate and lonely.

All the melon-eating people around him were dumbfounded, their eyes were wide open, their jaws were so shocked that they couldn't close their jaws together, showing a state of shock where their three views were subverted.

"No?! Kira, is this true?"

"Such a thing can happen?! Erza actually has such a life experience?!"

"It's just like the one in the novel...a subjugated princess or something..."

"Happy, did you hear that? Kira said Erza was a princess?"

"Uh...well..."

Looking at Kira's sincere expression, Habi vaguely felt that something was not right, but he couldn't explain why. The cat's keen intuition and his limited brain capacity interacted with each other, and the contradiction made his thoughts confused.

"No wonder I always thought Erza was very powerful. It turns out she inherited it from her bloodline!"

"That's just because she often presses you and beats you..."

Yes, be shocked! This is the effect I want!

The conversation of several people fell into Kira's ears. He nodded secretly in his heart and continued to perform: "Actually, you are also vaguely aware of it, right? Although you didn't say it explicitly, after getting along with me for many years, you also have an understanding of my personality. You should be able to learn from it. It’s only when you find clues in your daily conversations.”

"For example, from time to time I will mention the plot in the novel that 'parents have to abandon their children for certain reasons, and come to visit them many years later', and I will also ask you, 'If you meet your parents one day, what would you like to say to them? What' kind of question."

Erza: "..."

Everyone suddenly realized: "So that's it!!"

Not far away, Erin was looking up at the sky and stars, her bright eyes showing a bit of admiration. She took a few deep breaths and tried to calm down her mood.

‘I underestimated him, this brat is really good at making things up! ! !
