Chapter 109 The Disappearance of Chase and Lucy
Boom!
Just as Natsu and Gray were about to fight and teach each other a lesson, a wooden stick came down from the side and knocked them both into the ground, leaving only their heads sticking out.
"Hey you guys, we're rebuilding the guild right now, can't you be a little more serious?!"
Erza's face was tense as she slowly withdrew the wooden stick from her hand.
At this moment, she was wearing a yellow safety helmet and had changed into her work clothes for moving bricks.
"Yes!" Natsu and Gray's eyes instantly cleared.
"Ugh! It feels like we're playing whack-a-mole," Happy remarked casually.
Seeing that they had calmed down, Erza turned to Makarov, who was using giant magic to build a crossbeam not far away: "Foreman, where should this wooden plank be placed?"
"Oh, Erza, just put her in the pile of materials over there," the giant Makarov said with a smile as he turned around.
The two's unusual way of addressing each other sparked whispers among Macao and the others, making it feel like the Mage Guild had suddenly turned into a construction site.
Meanwhile, behind a pile of materials in the distance, a pair of lecherous eyes were staring intently at Gray's forehead.
"Ahhh, Juvia also wants to be buried in the ground with Lord Gray, so she can have his baby!"
"We don't need too many, thirty should be enough!"
Juvia twisted her waist with unusual excitement, and deep in her mind, images of Grey with full beauty filters and some scenes unsuitable for children surfaced.
The breadth of his thinking is astonishing.
Phantom Dancer's magical earth, like Fairy Tail's, was released last night—after paying a sufficient amount of penalty money.
Only Joseph, the chairman who instigated the war, remained under surveillance and was forcibly taken back to the council by the supervisory forces.
In reality, the nature of a guild is simply to provide a place for mages to find work.
When subordinates make mistakes, the chairman, who is responsible for management and instructions, naturally takes full responsibility. For example, Makarov often cleans up the messes left by Chesnaz and his group.
From this perspective, the Council's control over ordinary mages is quite lenient.
As Gray crawled out of the ground, he vaguely sensed something and suddenly looked up at the area where Juvia was.
There was no one in sight.
"Strange, why do I feel like I'm being watched?" he muttered to himself, frowning.
Considering there were many construction workers around, Gray didn't pay much attention.
Under Erza's supervision, they resumed their battle with Natsu—no, I mean, they resumed their work on building the new guild.
Time passed quietly, and soon it was almost noon.
During this time, Natsu and Happy discovered a love-filled bento box of unknown origin, and they tasted it together with Erza, giving it high praise.
Gray, on the other hand, was starving and looked constipated, unable to eat anything—he wondered which bastard had played a prank by shaping the rice ball into his face!
"Natsu, Gray, have you seen Chess?"
Amid the commotion, Mira, dressed in a burgundy gown, walked over from the side, holding colorful drawings in her hand.
"I want him to be the first to evaluate my latest, rushed design." Her bright, beautiful eyes were filled with anticipation.
Gray glanced at the adorable graffiti, then shut his mouth and didn't dare to reply.
"I don't know, I haven't seen that guy all day," Natsu replied without thinking.
"Love~ That's a bit strange. Chase should be the first to arrive in this kind of situation!" Happy scratched his head in confusion.
"Hearing you say that, it does seem like something's really wrong."
Erza stabbed Gray Bento in the eye with a fork, put it in her mouth, and began to chew it slowly.
Gray, who had been silent, suddenly felt a sharp pain in his eyes.
"Oh, okay. If you see him, please let me know, okay? Thank you!"
Seeing that Natsu and the others had not seen Chess, Mira turned away somewhat disappointed and went to ask her other companions.
Erza swallowed the food in her mouth and looked around. "Speaking of which, not only Chess, but I don't seem to see Lucy either."
Gray's eyes seemed to hurt even more—
"Love~ Lucy should still be at home!" Happy raised his hand in response.
"That's outrageous! They kicked us out first thing in the morning, and they're probably still sleeping in at home!"
Natsu whispered to himself, recalling the scene of Lucy fiercely kicking them out that morning.
"In that case, why don't we go to her house and see for ourselves?" Gray suggested.
Although it was the place where he grew up, he always felt that there was something unclean at the construction site today.
"That's fine, anyway, it'll be lunch break time soon," Erza agreed.
Taking a lunch break was one thing, but she was mainly worried about Lucy, especially since the Ghost incident had happened not long ago.
As for Chase, Erza completely ignored him—since this guy is gone, the unlucky outsiders and the guild master should be the ones who are most anxious!
After greeting Makarov, and under the reluctant gaze of Juvia in the shadows, the group left the construction site and soon arrived at Lucy's rented apartment.
Natsume climbed in through the window, Gray climbed in through the fireplace chimney, and Erza appeared out of nowhere, using some unknown method.
One thing is for sure: none of them came through the main entrance!
The room was quiet, and the absence of Lucy's usual rant made the group feel uneasy.
After searching thoroughly, they couldn't find Lucy, but Happy found a large number of letters that Lucy had written to her mother but hadn't sent.
"No need to look anymore, Lucy said she needs to go home."
Finally, Erza found the note hidden under the ink bottle on the desk.
"What?! Going home?!" Natsu Greyhab exclaimed in surprise, realizing something at the same time.
The destroyed guild has only just begun to be rebuilt; isn't the home Lucy wants to return to...
"That's right, the note clearly states that Lucy has returned to the Heartfilia mansion," Erza said solemnly.
"How could that be! Lucy doesn't like that house at all!" Natsu's voice was much louder, filled with obvious panic.
"Perhaps they don't want the Heartfilia Foundation to target the guild again."
"Are you kidding me! Let's go get her back, Lucy's a buddy!!"
When it came to the issue of companions, everyone set off for Magnolia Station without the slightest hesitation.
At this moment, Lucy, dressed in casual clothes, was sitting on the train home, looking at the scenery rushing past the window with a complicated expression.
Chase, who was traveling on the city's pterosaurs, was even faster and had already arrived at Hatfilia's mansion!
In the luxurious and spacious study, Jude Heartfilia sat at his mahogany desk, his face grim as he looked at the intelligence report on the Phantoms' defeat laid out before him.
"What a bunch of useless trash! They can't even handle Fairy Tail, yet they dare call themselves the strongest guild in Fiore!"
Jiude grew angrier the more he thought about it, and slammed his fist heavily on the sturdy desk, overturning all the documents.
Just as he was gritting his teeth, thinking about using money to hire several guilds to bring Lucy back,
The inexplicably quiet atmosphere around him made him wary: "Who's there?!"
In the corner of the eye, a dark blue cloak swayed, and Chase slowly emerged from the darkness.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Jude Heartfilia."
