Chapter 175 So what the hell am I being moved by?!
Just as Lucy was about to brush it off, the sound of combat boots stomping on the floor grew louder.
Seeing Erza, clad in armor, slowly approaching, her expression changed drastically. She thought to herself, "This is bad," and frantically raised her finger to make a shushing gesture.
"How's it going, Lucy? Did Chase praise your progress?"
Unfortunately, Erza, sitting right next to her, didn't notice the poor girl's frantic gestures.
Recalling Lucy's enthusiastic demeanor last night, Erza couldn't help but smile, remarking to herself, "I never imagined Celestial Spirit Magic could be used like Celestial Spirit Cloths. With a little practice, it could definitely unleash unexpected combat power!"
Lucy: "—".
"Star Spirit Robe?" Mira tilted her head and blinked in confusion.
"Oh dear, hasn't Lucy told you yet?"
Erza also sensed something was amiss and briefly explained what had happened the previous night.
"Wow, that's pretty good, the exposure is quite deep~" Chase's eyes lit up.
Although he knew that there was a Dark Magician training program, and that Lucy would definitely be much stronger than in the original timeline, he only expected that she could achieve long-term multi-body opening of the gate. He never expected that she would actually manage to create the Celestial Spirit Cloth ahead of time!
Seeing Chase's devilish gaze, devoid of emotion and filled only with a thirst for fighting, Lucy was so frightened that she quickly shifted her position to create distance between herself and him, only to be blocked by Erza on the other side, leaving her with nowhere to retreat.
"Lucy, hurry up and turn into a crab for me to see!" Natsu came running at the sound of his voice, his sparkling eyes full of anticipation for Celestial Dress.
It seems the direction is a bit off.
"Love~ I'd rather see Lucy as a fish than a crab~" Happy raised his hand high.
I don't know if he was influenced by Natsu or if that's just his true feeling.
Judging from the drool that involuntarily dripped from the corners of his mouth, well, it should be the latter!
"Feeding Lucy, that's not right of you. Why didn't you say something so happy sooner?"
Gray also arrived, his strong muscles quite eye-catching.
"Grey, the clothes," Mira said with a smile.
"Huh? When?!" Gray exclaimed in surprise.
As the commotion grew, Levy, Cana, and other friends all came running. Lucy, who instantly became the center of attention, took a deep breath and finally made a decision.
Since joining, everyone in the guild has taken such good care of me, and I really should share this joy with them.
So what if Chess beats me up?
Thinking of this, Lucy stood up, her beautiful eyes revealing a determination to face death with equanimity.
"Open! Gate of Canis Minor! Pru!"
The magic circle lit up, and Puru appeared before everyone's eyes, his body trembling.
"And then there's—Celestial Spirit Robe: Canis Minor Form!"
Lucy turned her palm, and the silver key at her fingertips immediately began to shine, with several ever-expanding magic circles enveloping her entire body.
After the light faded, when everyone looked again...
Lucy's original blue and white shirt and skirt had disappeared, replaced by a pure white onesie with a dog tail.
On her fair and beautiful face, the yellow, pointed nose ornament, just like Pru's, was exceptionally eye-catching.
"Oooooo!!"
"It really does resemble a costume-changing magic spell!"
"However, she looks so weak! She's nothing like the monster Erza!"
"Okay, so cute, Rukie looks like this."
His companions immediately swarmed around him as if they had discovered a new continent, and besides marveling at him, they also mercilessly ridiculed and belittled him.
This is what these guys love to do most.
The most bizarre character is Juvia, who keeps muttering, "You dead rival, you're seducing Lord Gray again."
Its resentment was so great that it even stained the surrounding background with a dark and gloomy tone!
"Tch, it's just a change of clothes. I thought I could transform." Natsu pouted in disappointment.
"Even just hearing the name Celestial Robe, you know that's impossible!" Lucy quipped sharply, the yellow cone on her nose twitching comically.
"Feed Lucy, let me test your frost resistance."
Gray clasped his hands together, his palms radiating a chilling aura, eager to try.
"Are you the devil?!"
"Hey Lucy, come here and have a lollipop!" Happy said with a sly grin, pulling out a lollipop.
"Even if I change my clothes, I'm still not a dog!"
Lucy was a little taken aback by the dead cat. "And besides, even dogs don't eat lollipops!!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Pru ran over happily, picked up the lollipop from Happy's hand, and started licking it.
Lucy: "...
She was tired and didn't want to complain anymore, nor did she know where to begin.
It seems we'll have to wait until we can use the golden key before showing it off!
"I'm telling you, even if you're incredibly rude, shouldn't you at least show some respect for Lucy?"
Chase walked slowly up to Lucy and stared at her as he looked her over.
Although among Lucy's many Celestials, Prud of Canis Minor is arguably the most useless, serving only as a cute pet.
Perhaps it still has a slight warming effect?
However, judging from the appearance of the Celestial Robe and the faint magical power it emitted, this was indeed a successful application of Celestial power.
In other words, Lucy really did have the ability to "see the future" ahead of time!
The sweat and effort involved are unimaginable.
Thinking of this, Chase raised his arm and slowly reached out towards Lucy.
Lucy, who had assumed that Chase was going to fight her, was quite frightened by this action.
Unable to hide or escape, she simply closed her eyes, resigned herself to her fate, and spread her hands in a defiant gesture: "Come on, Chess! I won't cry!"
However, the expected pain of being punched and sent flying did not occur.
Lucy stood still for a few seconds until she felt a gentle touch on her head, then she cautiously opened her eyes.
"Silly girl, you must have put in a lot of effort to get to this level."
Chase patted Lucy's head, a rare gentle smile appearing on his lips. "I'm too busy praising you to possibly lay a hand on you."
"Chesgo—" Lucy's expression softened, her eyes welling up with tears of emotion.
"Hey Natsu, Lucy's acting so strange. Does she really think that this appearance will make Chess want to fight? How presumptuous of her~"
"That's right, even I'm not excited about it, let alone Chase."
Happy and Natsu whispered to each other, revealing the truth in a single sentence.
The sound was a little loud; everyone in the guild heard it.
Lucy: "..—
So what the hell am I getting emotional about?!
Mira noticed her embarrassment and disappointment, and comforted her with a smile, "It's okay, Lucy! I really like this cute outfit. It'll definitely be a hit at tonight's magic parade!"
Lucy was in tears: She felt even sadder.
But quickly, realizing what she had said, she immediately brightened up and exclaimed in surprise, "Wait, Sister Mira!"
Am I going to participate in the Magical Parade too?!
"Yes, because the civil war started by Laxus has caused many injuries, so everyone who is able to move needs to participate." Mira nodded affirmatively.
"But, but, I'm still a newbie." Lucy said shyly, but her smile grew even brighter.
That's a grand parade that only happens once a year!
"So are you troubled or secretly pleased?" Gray saw through her little scheme at a glance.
"So, Juvia, Juvia can participate too?!" Juvia sniffed the air and came closer.
"That's right, this is an arrangement that the president gave us this morning."
Juvia beamed with joy upon receiving a positive reply, clenching her fist with renewed energy: "Juvia will do her best to put on the best show with Lord Gray!"
Gray: "Hey, hey, I haven't agreed yet!"
"So cute~" Kana said with a smile while drinking.
Marcao and Wakaba lowered their heads in despair—they had just been thinking of inviting the lovely Juvia along.
And so, the conversation shifted from Lucy's Celestial Dress to tonight's magical parade, with everyone looking for teammates and introducing their prepared performances.
The entire guild instantly became lively (although there was never a dull moment), with everyone chatting and laughing, creating a very harmonious atmosphere.
However, a figure covered in bandages suddenly appeared at the door.
The heavy footsteps broke this rare moment of harmony.
