Fairy's Chess Game

Chapter 27 The Sorcerer on Vacation
Haruja City, the largest seaport city in the Kingdom of Fiore, is also a famous tourist attraction.It was here that Lucy met Bora the fake dragon and Nazhabi a week ago, so it was the big family that entered Fairy Tail.

Ninth Street is the most famous commercial street in the city. In addition to the many shops along the street, more importantly, most places on this street can easily see the scenery of the coast, and the scenery is excellent; for this reason, here Gathered at least half of the restaurants in the city.Dusk Cafe is one of them. Although it is small in scale and not very famous, this coffee shop has existed since the establishment of Harujian and has a good reputation among the local residents of the city.

In the corner of the cafe near the window, a listless man was sitting slumped, looking lazy, with a heavy book and a cup of coffee on the table in front of him.But the man didn't have the slightest intention to drink coffee, and even just sat there all afternoon, and the coffee was already cold.

But the waiters who come and go are not surprised, and let this listless man spend time in the store.

Nimina, the signature girl of the coffee shop, came to the man and asked, "It's getting cold, do you want a hot one? Woz."

The man glanced at the girl in front of him without focus, and said, "No, there's no need, it's fine if it's cold, why don't you just add some ice cubes."

"Ah la la, Woz, you are as lazy as ever, just like the grandpa at home."

"What's the matter? I'm here for vacation." Woz finally came back to his senses, rubbing his forehead and feet and said, "I just want to have a good rest now."

Nimina said with a smile: "It seems that your work is also very tiring. Wizards are also very hard."

Woz smiled bitterly: "Not only that, but I have many other messy things to worry about. If you don't take the time to fix it, it will collapse."

Nimina nodded understandingly: "That's right! Everyone's work is not easy. But Woz, are you really that busy? You can't see anything about you in Wizards Weekly. Obviously Fairy Tail is so busy. famously said."

"Maybe it's because I'm not very good at getting into trouble." Woz picked up his coffee and drank it.Suddenly seeing a familiar figure walking by outside, he couldn't help being stunned.

"Huh? Isn't that Natsu and Lucy? Why are they here too? Is there any mission?"

Nimina followed Woz's line of sight and recognized those two people. After all, these two people destroyed half of the port at the end of last month, and were wanted by the annoyed mayor for three days.

"It's them...it should be colleagues, doesn't Woz need to say hello?"

Woz shook his head, still looking like he didn't want to move: "No, I'm on vacation. I don't want to be nosy, especially with Naz's work. Anyway, he will definitely burn something again... just because the guild like There are too many guys like him, so I am so tired!"

"Really?" Nimina said, "Oh, by the way, since Woz is also a senior member of Fairy Tail, he must know Miss Mirajane, right?"

"Yes what's the matter?"

Nimina suddenly bowed and asked, "Could you please help me get Miss Mirajane's autographed photo?"

"Huh?" Woz showed a surprised look.

Nimina said: "Miss Mirajane is our idol!" All the service girls in the store nodded in agreement, "Speaking of which, she is the most famous sign girl."

Woz smiled wryly and said, "So that's it, I understand. I'll send it back when I get back. How much does it cost?" Before the kingdom launched the Great Magic Fight, ordinary people really didn't have a comprehensive understanding of mages, except Except for Magnolia, where there is close contact with the Magisters Guild, people still mainly learn about the world of Magisters through Magisters Weekly; this directly leads to the reputation of many powerful Magisters far away. Far inferior to good-looking mages, especially beautiful mages.Therefore, even though Mirajane's strength has plummeted after her image and temperament changed, her popularity has reached the level of terror that ranks first in the country.

"Huh? Can I ask for more?" Sure enough, Nimina became as excited as a fanatical groupie, and said pleasantly, "There are nine sisters in our store, so I want nine if possible."

Woz said: "It looks a bit troublesome, how about this, the magazine seems to be shooting a new photobook for her, when the time comes, I will ask her to send a whole signed copy, you can share it yourself."

"Thank you so much." All the girls thanked Woz together.

Mirajane is really powerful. Although she has lost her fighting power, she is the most popular one in the guild.Woz thought helplessly.

Nimina, who was in a good mood, showed a sweet smile and reminded: "Woz, my father has already prepared the boat you want. When do you need to go?"

This is also Woz's practice. He will choose to come to this coffee shop every year on vacation, so he is considered a regular customer. After spending half a day in the shop, he borrows a small fishing boat from the owner's house to drift and fish alone.Of course, what Woz is doing is not fishing. After all, he doesn't like to eat fish, but he likes to find a place that is quiet enough and undisturbed for the deepest rest of his soul; Just be quiet."

At night, with a full moon in the sky, it is clear that there will be good weather to come.Woz drifted away from the port in a boat rented from Nimina's house, and when he came to the surface, he just took a current and drifted with it.When he came to the sea, Woz didn't come here for fishing anyway, he just fixed the fishing rod prepared by the shopkeeper on the side of the boat, and threw the hook at random, without even preparing the bait, which seemed insincere.Then he lay on his back on the deck and looked at the sky.Feel the blowing of the sea breeze and the waves below you.

But I didn't expect that I had no intention of fishing but a fish bit the hook.Woz, who didn't want to be disturbed and was too lazy to move, ignored it, letting the fish struggle in the water, and eventually even started dragging the boat away.It's fast and still looks like a big fish.

When the big fish was finally dragged down, Woz didn't know where he was, but he didn't worry about losing his way at all, and continued to let the boat drift.At this time, the sound of someone talking came from the calm sea.Because the voice was very familiar, Woz raised his body and looked. It was another small fishing boat with three people sitting on it, and another person who looked like a boatman was driving the boat at the stern.

"Hey! It's Woz!" Sure enough, Naz's voice sounded from afar, "Could it be that they came to arrest us?"

"No way? Didn't senior Woz go on vacation?" It was Lucy's voice, a little panicked.

As the two boats approached, Woz finally remembered something, and asked, "You guys, don't you want to perform the S-class mission on that cursed island?"

Lucy yelled: "Have you been found? Are you here to catch us?"

"So, give up!" Gray, who was tied up behind him, shouted, "Follow me and go back!"

Natsu was seasick, and he didn't say another word. Happy asked instead, "Why is Woz here?"

"I'm here for vacation." Woz patted the fishing rod beside him, "By the way, there's a big fish, Hubby will follow." Woz raised the rod and threw out the fish that had been caught for half a day.

Happy caught it very happily: "Hey, thanks Woz."

Gray couldn't help shouting: "Hey, Woz, since you already know, why don't you stop them quickly! They violated the rules."

Woz smiled suddenly: "I'm not currently in the guild sequence, so I don't care about these things. There will be Erza to catch you back."

"But Erza just went out to work today! That's why I was sent here!" Gray explained.

Woz said: "Elusha must have been recalled urgently by the president at this time. Don't count on me, the president and the others know that I am in this city, even so they didn't notify me to stop you... because they also You know, I'm not going to meddle in my vacation."

Natsu was overjoyed, and struggled to praise: "Woz, you are amazing... Ugh..."

Gray was helpless: "So, I'm not one of them, don't take me as a violator by default!"

Woz said seriously: "But, Naz, this also means that I will not intervene in your mission at all, so don't think that I will immediately support you like before. Naz, are you aware?"

Natsu grinned: "Of course, I will complete this task myself."

"No, that's not what I'm talking about." Woz shook his head and pointed at Lucy, "I mean, do you have the consciousness to be responsible for the life and death of the newcomers who trust you?"

Lucy shivered: "It's a terrible feeling."

Naz also said seriously: "No problem, I will try my best to protect Lucy."

"That's not right," Gray yelled.

Woz said: "Grey doesn't need to shout, in fact, you have always wanted to do an S-level mission, right? Otherwise, with your ability, you wouldn't be tied up so easily, right? That's fine, with you and Natsu, the battle It is much more reliable in terms of strength. And you are more calm..."

Woz said suddenly: "Actually, if this task is delayed any longer, I plan to carry it out, and bring Gray with you."

"Take me?" Gray was a little puzzled, "Why?" Speaking of which, the relationship between Gray and Woz is not good, it can only be regarded as an ordinary companionship, and there is no intersection at ordinary times.So he was very surprised to hear that Woz would take himself on an S-level mission.

Woz didn't say much, looked in the direction of the cursed island in the distance, and said, "Good luck, this mission."

Woz inexplicably half-spoken, everyone in the guild got used to it, and Gray no longer struggled.After the three of them bid farewell to Woz, they continued to march towards the legendary cursed island of Karna. Because of Woz's acquiescence, they had a lot of confidence in their hearts. Except for the bold Natsu, the other two were not so Worried about punishment from the guild; after all, their actions had Woz's permission, didn't they?
When the coast of the island could be seen with the naked eye, the boatman suddenly began to tell about the curse on the island: it turned out that he was also a resident of the island, and an inexplicable curse was imposed on the island, turning everyone in the village into demons!
As he spoke, the boatman lifted his cloak to reveal his left hand. The three of Fairy Tail were surprised to see that his entire arm had turned into a terrifying claw!

While Lucy was screaming, a sudden huge wave swept over and capsized the boat, and the three were even more surprised to find that the boatman had disappeared!The three of Naz were overturned by the waves again when they were surprised. They never thought that this S-level mission would have such a troublesome and weird situation even before it officially started.
