Fairy Tail: My Magic is Yugi Muto's Deck

Chapter 305 A Small Banquet

Chapter 305 A Small Banquet

After saying goodbye to Mira and the others, Chase walked home alone.

The starry night sky and the full moon hang high in the sky. The town streets are quite deserted in the middle of the night, with only the gurgling of the river and the chirping of insects fluttering their wings under the streetlights.

The quiet and pleasant environment made Chase, who had just experienced a major battle, feel somewhat uncomfortable.

However, this feeling came and went quickly—all that could be seen was a brightly lit detached house in front of them, a stark contrast to the surrounding houses that had already turned off their lights.

Yes, that was Chase's house.

Pushing open the well-insulated door, a lively atmosphere immediately greets you.

Unsurprisingly, apart from Erza who had returned to the girls' dormitory, everyone in the strongest squad was inside, currently enjoying a revelry in the living room filled with barbecue and drinks.

"Hey, Chase, welcome back."

Gray, who was facing the entrance, noticed Chase immediately and naturally raised his hand to greet him.

"Haha, Chase, come here quickly! I specially saved a super-sized lamb chop for you!"

Natsu, with his chubby cheeks, followed closely behind, waving and laughing as he chewed on his grilled meat.

"Ah~ I don't know if it's because Lucy paid for it, but the grilled fish smells so good~" Happy showed off the fish like crazy.

In contrast to their casualness, Lucy, with her back to the door, was startled, her nerves tense, and her back ramrod straight.

Beads of sweat kept appearing on his forehead, a sign of his guilty conscience.

"Huh? Cheese, Chess!" Wendy was so shocked she stood up on the spot.

So nervous, she choked on the roasted meat in her mouth, her face turning bright red as she frantically waved her arms.

Xia Lulu, who was standing next to her, quickly handed him a glass of orange juice.

Smelling the barbecue aroma that filled the entire room, Chess didn't take the large lamb chop that Natsu was holding. Instead, he walked up behind Lucy with a very imposing gait.

"Tell me, Lucy, what happened?" He reached out and hooked his arm around Lucy's shoulder, leaning closer to ask with a kind smile.

"Wait, wait, Chesgo, let me explain!"

Lucy panicked, her eyes darting around, and immediately shifted the blame, "Natsu! Yes, it was all Natsu and Happy's idea!"

The scene shifts, and Chase is sitting on the ground, eating with his mouth full of oil.

Here's what happened: After Makarov refuted his victory celebration, a sullen Natsu had a sudden inspiration and suggested that he could hold his own party at Lucy's house.

The proposal was instantly approved unanimously—Grey and Happy raised their hands in agreement, while Wendy and Charlotte simply wanted to visit Lucy's house.

As for Lucy's own vote against it...—

Well, the objection was rejected.

Seeing her family about to be destroyed, Lucy had a flash of inspiration. She used the excuse that she would treat everyone to a meal out of her own pocket and that the Chesgo family's house was more spacious to successfully divert the trouble to the other side.

And that's how the scene Chase saw when he first walked in came about.

Chase naturally wouldn't care about such a trivial matter, or rather, he had long been used to it.

Unpleasant odors can be easily eliminated with a bottle of magic perfume; a lively atmosphere is what makes a home feel more like home.

However, the punishment for trespassing should still be in place. "Put in a little more force, didn't we just finish eating barbecue?"

"yes!"

Lucy diligently massaged Chase's shoulders.

"Chesgo is really scary—"

Wendy next to her shrank back, her cute face filled with fear.

"Don't just stand there and watch, go to the fridge and get me two bottles of beer."

"Okay, okay!"

Wendy didn't dare to refuse at all and quickly ran to the large refrigerator in the corner of the living room.

Then, with a "thump," she immediately performed her signature move: falling flat on her face.

Xia Lulu: "—I'll do it."

With her wings outstretched, the Superwoman had no choice but to fly over and get the beer in Wendy's place.

If this were within the guild, she would definitely have severely reprimanded Chess for his bossy behavior, but since she was in the wrong for throwing a party at someone's house without prior notice, she could only silently comply.

Otherwise, they'll end up like those two men over there with big bumps on their heads, lying flat on the ground with little soul figures emanating from them, just like tomcats!

Chess, that card player, wouldn't go easy on her just because she was a girl.

Charlotte had already deeply realized this principle back when Chase was playing "Ora Ora" Mira.

After eating and drinking his fill, a cheerful Chase sat on the sofa with his legs crossed, holding a cup of black tea that Lucy had brewed.

Nazgrahabi, who was woken up by a slap, "voluntarily" took on the task of tidying up and cleaning.

"I see. So in the end, it was the Council of Councils that appeared and took away the defeated Bruno and Melty—" Chase took a sip of his black tea.

From Wendy, he learned more details about the Saberbite Tiger battlefield.

Just as Gildarts knocked Brunot out with a single punch, the Council of Judges arrived on time and arrested Brunot and Melty on various charges.

They also helped to reassure the residents in the surrounding area who were affected by the fighting.

For these shrewd individuals, encountering bottlenecks is nothing new.

What bothered Chase was that, although they had already contacted the Council when Makarov led a large force to attack the headquarters of the Demon Heart, they had not seen any sign of the troops until the end of the war.

It was Acnologia, who had been drawn to Gandora, who ended up cleaning up the battlefield.

Although the target this time is the strongest dark guild in the Balam Alliance, we certainly cannot act rashly.

It's understandable that mobilizing troops, organizing combat personnel, and activating magical warships would take a lot of time, but this kind of support speed is far too slow.

For some reason, the image of Speaker Crawford Him, with his exaggerated mustache, suddenly appeared in Chase's mind.

Because of his intervention, the structure of the council was not affected by the Tower of Paradise incident, so Crawford was not dismissed and is still serving as chairman.

Despite being the speaker, this guy is by no means a kind person.

In the original story, in order to regain power, he even went so far as to leak information about Fies, which could destroy all the magic power on the continent, and colluded with the Gates of the Underworld to assassinate the former councilor.

Finally, due to a moment of madness, he used an ancient text to transfer the "Fez Key" from Gerald's body to himself, and was immediately ripped out of his heart by the demon Kyouka of the Underworld Gate.

Although it's just speculation at the moment, this idiot might actually do something like waiting for Fairy Tail and Devil Heart to both suffer heavy losses, and then reaping the benefits!

"Yes, is there a problem, Chesgo?"

Lucy vaguely sensed that something was wrong with Chase's expression.

"No, I just think these people in the council really know how to pick their timing."

Chess slowly put down his teacup and sighed softly.

Leaving aside a few scoundrels, the Council has always been a symbol of order and light, protecting the peace and stability of the continent of Ishgar.

Therefore, he really didn't want to take action against Crawford until he had obtained crucial evidence.

Defeating this weakling will not only fail to yield any high-level cards, but will also bring a lot of trouble to the guild.

Perhaps Ultear, who has decided to return to the Council to begin her path of atonement, is a better fit than I am to deal with such scum.

Bad guys always slip up eventually.
