BXBX NOVEL Chapter 92: Jura and Wendy
Chapter 92: Chapter 92: Jura and Wendy
"Where did all the guests go?" Nate asked the waiter.
"Honorable Wizard Saint Nate, sir, all the guests have checked out."
The waiter smiled politely. "Moreover, the entire resort will be reserved for you and Miss Erza for the entire day."
Nate was surprised to be recognized. "Why?"
'Why even ask?' The waiter's smile twitched slightly. 'Last night, you nearly tore the hotel down with a single punch, and the guests fled in fear.'
"It was the management's decision. It's an honor to serve you both," the waiter said, keeping his words respectful.
Before today, she hadn't known Nate, but now she did. Being one of the Ten Wizard Saints, Nate was a prominent figure, recognized for his groundbreaking magic. However, his identity wasn't the main reason—they were mainly afraid Nate might actually demolish the resort.
After all, the free stay was only for one day, so the manager had made a swift decision to cater to these "walking disasters" and reopen the resort once they were gone.
"Your service is really excellent. I'll come back again," Nate said with satisfaction, already thinking about bringing Juvia or Ultear next time.
The waiter's smile froze. 'Please, don't come back...'
"By the way, have you seen my companion?"
"You mean Miss Erza? She's already had breakfast and is at the amusement park," the waiter replied.
Nate thanked her, grabbed his breakfast, and found a table to sit down. He then opened his Magic Net and sent Ultear a private message.
Sigma Male: "The council is preparing to move against Siegrain. Did you know?"
Ultear replied instantly.
Witch of Pain: "Sister was just about to send you a message, and here you are."
Witch of Pain: "We really are in sync. Smile.jpg."
Sigma Male: "You haven't sent me any pictures at night recently, I'm going to criticize you!"
Witch of Pain: "Miss me? Sneaky laugh.jpg."
Witch of Pain: "How do I look today, dear? Casual Outfit.jpg."
Whenever Nate talked with Ultear, the conversation would always take a playful turn. After saving a few of her pictures, Nate steered the conversation back on track.
Sigma Male: "Back to business, just reminding you that the council is targeting Jellal."
Nate recounted the events from the previous night, and it became clear that Ultear wasn't aware of the council's plans.
Witch of Pain: "The chairman didn't mention it to me. Seems like they're suspicious of me too."
Sigma Male: "What are you going to do? Go back to Grimoire Heart?"
Witch of Pain: "I'm not going back."
Witch of Pain: "Don't worry, dear. I'll be fine."
Sigma Male: "Are you still brainwashing Jellal?"
Witch of Pain: "No! That was something I did when I was younger. I've reformed, and that magic has long since been undone."
'Is that so?' Nate wondered. 'Has Jellal truly fallen that far?' He decided not to dwell on it.
Sigma Male: "You're free to choose your own path. If you run into trouble, I'll help you."
Witch of Pain: "Mm-hmm, kiss kiss.jpg."
Witch of Pain: "Sister's heading to the council now. The chairman just sent a message. Looks like they're planning to act against Jellal's Thought Projection..."
She then went offline.
Nate pondered for a moment. Since the council had decided to move against one of their own, Siegrain, they were likely seeking outside help, perhaps even calling in reinforcements overnight. But with Ultear's strength, even if she was exposed, she could easily escape. Since Ultear said she could handle it, Nate decided to leave it for now.
...
After breakfast, Nate headed to the amusement park to meet up with Erza. The entire park was deserted, and all the rides were free to use. The two of them spent the entire morning enjoying all the attractions.
After lunch at the resort, they changed into swimwear and headed to the beach. They spent the afternoon surfing, playing beach volleyball, kayaking, and fishing. It was much more fun than the amusement park, especially since Nate could admire Erza in her swimsuit.
Erza was in high spirits, finally able to relax from her usual tension. She spent the day smiling, something rarely seen.
Around 3 PM, after tiring themselves out, the two of them set up beach chairs on the shore. Nate brought out a grill, ready to cook the fish they had caught.
As a seasoned mage used to outdoor missions, Erza was quite adept at camping. She put on an impressive show for Nate, expertly cleaning and preparing the seafood with swift, precise movements. After the grilling, they had a hearty meal before taking a walk along the beach to help with digestion.
"It's been so long since I've felt this happy," Erza said, walking ahead with her hands behind her back. "I originally came here just to investigate the Tower of Heaven, but I ended up enjoying an actual vacation."
'Liar!' Nate thought. 'You were clearly looking forward to this.'
"You'll have more fun in the future. Do you know why people don't like working?" Nate asked, not waiting for her to answer. "Because it goes against human nature. Once we've met our survival needs, all we want is to find happiness."
"But I find joy in my work," Erza said with a smile, playfully contradicting him.
Nate was speechless for a moment, but then his ring lit up with a notification.
"The fun is over," Nate said, looking at the message.
"?" Erza tilted her head, curious.
Nate smiled. "The joint force from the guilds has arrived. They're waiting for us in the hotel lobby."
"Is that so? Looks like it's time to work," Erza said with a nod. "Requip!"
With a flash of golden light, her swimsuit was replaced by her usual armor.
Nate glanced down at his own beach shorts. 'I really need to learn Requip...'
...
After changing, they returned to the hotel lobby, where they saw two people—one large and one small. There was also a white cat.
"Jura of the Ten Wizard Saints?" Erza asked, surprised.
"Miss Erza, and Mr. Nate—I've been wanting to meet you both. Finally, I have the chance," Jura, a bald-headed man, greeted them with a smile before turning to Nate. "I'm Jura Neekis, a mage of Lamia Scale. It's an honor to meet you."
"Nice to meet you too, Mr. Jura," Nate replied, but his attention quickly shifted to the small girl standing next to Jura.
"My name is Wendy... Wendy Marvell," the girl introduced herself shyly, her hands behind her back, her toes pointed inward. She glanced at the white cat next to her and added in a soft voice, "And this is Carla. We're from Cait Shelter."
"A little girl?" Erza was taken aback. 'Why send a child on a mission to take down Jellal?'
The white cat, much like Happy, had sprouted wings and was floating in the air.
"Don't underestimate Wendy and me just because we're small," Carla said, crossing her arms.
"She's Erza, right? The legendary Fairy Queen?" Wendy whispered, her small face breaking into a shy smile.
"Hey! They're underestimating us! I'm talking to you" Carla stomped her foot in frustration.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. It's just that this mission is going to be dangerous," Erza apologized sincerely, clenching her fist. "If you're mad, feel free to punch me!"
Nate: "..."
"Erza, she's a Dragon Slayer," Nate reminded her as he walked over to Wendy and gently patted her head. "Isn't that right, Sky Sorceress?"
