Fairy's Chess Game

Chapter 98
Walking on the secluded path, at this time, the sun is rising and the whole city is just waking up. The environment is full of comfortable tranquility, and at the same time, it is full of vitality.

Mirajane quietly pushed Woz forward slowly, feeling that her heart had gradually recovered her tranquility, and she was no longer as restless as she was in the previous period.She likes the current feeling very much, as if her body and soul are full of strength, and the fatigue accumulated in the previous battle seems to be swept away by this morning wind.

Yes, although she looked calm and calm on the outside, Mirajane was the most nervous and exhausted person in the guild, even though the war had been over for four days.Until now, after witnessing Woz's awakening and recovery, Mirajane really thought that the war with Specter was completely over, and Fairy Tail finally won a perfect victory!
Although she had little sleep these days, Mirajane was unexpectedly energetic and brisk.On the contrary, Woz, who had been in a coma for several days, looked very tired. He sat motionless in the wheelchair and did not speak, as if he had really become a disabled person.

As if sensing Woz's fatigue, Mirajane didn't speak either, letting the quiet atmosphere shroud the two of them.

Although silent, the atmosphere was very comfortable. Mirajane remembered what Woz once said: "If you are a true friend, even if you don't talk when you are together, you won't feel embarrassed."

Everyone thought that this was just Woz's excuse for his inability to talk, but at this moment Mirajane really felt this feeling.

"It's a real friend. That's nice."

"What?" Woz heard Mirajane's whisper behind him. He had been in a daze just now, and he had already walked most of the distance without knowing it.

"No, nothing..."

Woz didn't ask any further questions. He always likes to be quiet, so even the real estate he bought in Magnolia was in a relatively remote place on the outskirts of the city, but it happened to be relatively close to Polyusica's hut in the forest. No matter how slow, more than 20 minutes will arrive.

"Thank you for your hard work. Come in and have a cup of tea when you arrive soon." Woz turned around and greeted.Originally, Woz planned to treat Mirajane to a breakfast by the way, but Woz seldom had a business in the house, and there were no ingredients in the kitchen. Black tea was probably the highest level of hospitality he could prepare.

Although Woz doesn't know how to cook, it is obviously more convenient to go to the guild to solve the problem, and the food in the guild is basically prepared by Mirajane and a few other girls; please Mirajane for breakfast?In the end, what's the point of bothering her to do it herself?

Simply put, it's okay to make a cup of tea if you have limited mobility.

"You, what's the use of buying that house?" Mirajane said helplessly, "I can't live there for a few days all year round, and thanks to Rebby who often cleans the room for you, otherwise it would have been full of dust by now Can't check in?"

Woz laughed and said, "Rebby helped me clean because I lent her half of the room to store books. Otherwise, do you think her room in the girls' dormitory can hold all her books?"

Mirajane didn't refute, of course she knew about it, and she herself often helped Rebby clean the room together. It can be said that Mirajane was more familiar with Woz's house than Woz, the real owner.

She was complaining that Woz was often away from home.Instead, Woz spends more than half of his time every year running around or taking vacations.

Woz is the only one in the guild who can turn a good house into a desolate haunted house.

Mirajane has been to the empty uninhabited house many times, but the "occupied house" where the owner is at home is a rare "collector's house" in comparison, and even she has not come across it a few times.So facing Woz's invitation, Mirajane readily agreed.

To be honest, Mirajane has much more opportunities to be alone with Woz than other people.This made Mirajane feel that she was more or less different, but during the night talk last night, she suddenly discovered that it seemed that many other people had similar times of being alone with Woz, and they were all girls!This made her feel an inexplicable loss.

Especially Erza, who she identified as a competitor.As long as he stayed in Magnolia, Woz still had the habit of practicing swords by the river every morning until now.

It was before she joined Fairy Tail, Mirajane suddenly felt a little indignant, Erza was so cunning.

"Fortunately, no one else came this time..." Mirajane looked back at the way she came, and when she came out, she ran in a hurry, leaving everyone else behind. It's time for a celebration.After all, the topic of the whole night was the person in front of him. Under the influence of some stories and legends, now Woz is almost the "hero" image in the hearts of these girls, right?
Meerajane felt that the celebration of Woz's awakening was still enough for her alone-only this, and Meerajane felt that she was unwilling to share it with others.

However, the desire to be alone with Woz has finally come to nothing.

Walking to the door of Woz's room, the two saw someone waiting outside the door!

Due to the good money and the remote location, the house Woz bought was very large, similar to the villa he rented in the suburbs of Haruja.There is also a large garden at the gate. When the two came to the gate of the yard, they found a person sitting by the flower bed.

It was an old man with gray beard and hair, but he looked energetic and sat upright like a bell.Under the wide cloak is a muscular body that does not match his age.I don't know where he came from, how long he has been here, he looks dusty, and his body is covered with dew.

"Who is it?" Mirajane asked softly, asking the old man as well as Woz.Because since he appeared in this place, the old man was obviously looking for Woz.

Seeing someone approaching, the old man stood up immediately.At this station, the old man's strong body suddenly stood in front of him like a mountain, and there was an awe-inspiring aura without anger, which made Mirajane feel a burst of pressure.

Woz asked in surprise: "President Shouyan, why are you here?"

"Huh?" Hearing Woz's address, Mirajane exclaimed softly. Is this old man Shouyan, the president of the Mercenary Alliance?Since she had just heard the story about this person at night, she was a little curious about this real-life Juggernaut.I was also a little worried that the other party would come for revenge.

Although there was a fierce battle between the two, and Woz chopped off his right arm, Shouyan didn't show any anger at the moment. He still maintained the demeanor that an old man and a senior should have. Greeting with a smile: "Long time no see, Woz. Eight years have passed since the last encounter in Broken Wall City."

"Eight years? It's been a long time." Woz responded, "Although I don't know why you came here, I'm sorry to keep you waiting, let's go into the house."

Mirajane behind her sighed slightly, the rare opportunity to be alone with Woz seems to be really gone.

However, she didn't complain too much. Instead, she took the initiative to help Woz, who was handicapped, prepare refreshments for the first goose.Mirajane, who was originally a waiter in the guild, is also familiar with these tasks.

"Because Woz doesn't have any good tea at home, please make do with it." Mirajane handed a cup of black tea to Shouyan, not forgetting to complain about Woz's taste.

"Thank you!" Shouyan smiled and reached out to take it.

It was the right hand that was stretched out, and it was only then that Mirajane realized that the first goose had both arms.

"Your hand..." she couldn't help exclaiming.

Shouyan looked at his right arm and said with a wry smile: "It's really a bad thing that spreads thousands of miles. I only lost this one in my life, but I didn't expect it to be remembered the most..."

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean it." Mirajane apologized quickly.

Shouyan shook his head: "It doesn't matter, it's just a victory or defeat. At that time, the old man was the one who took care of me. But after that, every time there is a duel, the old man dare not be careless. The lion fights the rabbit with all his strength, and he has never been defeated again. He patted the sword on his waist, "In that case, I would like to thank Woz for giving me a lesson in my defeat."

Although Shouyan spoke lightly and calmly, Woz seemed to see the bloody storm hidden behind it.In a mercenary alliance where strength is paramount, the position of president must be held by the strongest one. After losing his arm in the battle with Woz, Shouyan's strength has dropped drastically.There are countless mercenaries who want to replace him.Moreover, Shouyan also bears the title of Juggernaut, and those who want to take the opportunity to win the title of "Defeat the Juggernaut" also come to challenge.Shouyan probably didn't have an easy time during those days.

However, listening to what Shouyan said, he seemed to have regained the fierce swordsmanship style of his youth, and no longer relied on his status to show mercy.Woz felt sad for the opponents of the first goose.

"As for this..." Shouyan flicked his right arm with his fingers, making a crisp sound of metal hitting, "As you can see, it's a prosthetic limb."

Only then did Mirajane notice that the right arm of First Goose was entirely made of metal.Before, because this arm was so flexible that it was no different from a normal arm, she always thought that the metallic color was just the glove of the first goose or something.

Woz looked at it with interest: "You really found it? How to make the mechanical armor?"

Shouyan said: "Yes, according to the information you provided, our mercenary alliance organized an expedition, and indeed found the city called 'La Xiubale' on the other side of the mainland, and obtained the mechanical armor. Technology, this is very popular in the league with a very high disability rate. And it has been exported in large quantities as a special product of Broken Wall City. Speaking of which, I have to thank you."

　"Go to the next level" get!I can't hold on anymore, I have run out of manuscripts!
