Chapter 133 Chess, why don't you stay at my place tonight?
Under the tree, the three crows were tightly bound together and could not move.
Vidarudas's eyes rolled back, and he had fainted from the impact of the indiscriminate flood.
In this respect, Lucy, who had gained experience from being submerged, clearly had much higher water resistance, only suffering a minor injury to her buttocks.
She was whipped by Aquarius.
The owl's head drooped limply, its fate unknown.
Only the turtledove in the clothing pavilion remained conscious, its eyes gleaming with resentment and bitterness.
"Tell me, who sent you to assassinate Chase?"
Mira the Demon lifted the dove's chin, her faint smile carrying a dangerous aura.
Because it was an interrogation, she activated her demonic Satan form.
"The mission failed because my daughter miscalculated. No need for further nonsense. Do with me as you please," said the spotted dove in a cold voice.
Assassination guilds have their own rules, and from the moment she entered this line of work, she was prepared to face death.
I must say, they're quite principled. No wonder Gerald felt comfortable sending them out to assassinate Chase.
"Oh wow, still pretty stubborn."
Mira the Demon pursed her lips and began to move her demonized hand.
Just as she was "interrogating" Iguana, not far away, Chase pulled out a strangely colored drink from his cards and handed it to the panting Erza.
"Here, this is the Stamina Enhancer Super Z. Although it cannot heal injuries, it can replenish depleted mana."
"Thanks." Erza didn't stand on ceremony, took the enhancer, and drank it down in one gulp.
After the flood in Aquaria, realizing that her companions were by her side, she was fearless and no longer relied too much on her armor. She took out her breast wrap, the Pure Heart Robe, and defeated Ikaruga with a single strike, achieving a double transcendence of both her enemy and herself!
"Lucy, you used up a lot of magic power just now, didn't you?"
Halfway through drinking, Erza suddenly stopped and handed the devil-shaped bottle in her hand to Lucy.
Looking at the brightly colored drink, Lucy took a half step back and waved her hands repeatedly, "Ah? I, I don't think I need it. My magic hasn't shown any signs of running out yet."
Erza didn't reply, but remained in the handing gesture, staring intently at Lucy.
The taste of this stuff must be indescribable; even Erza couldn't stand it!
Lucy thought this with certainty to herself, but she couldn't withstand Erza's aura and gave up after only two and a half seconds, reluctantly accepting the stamina booster.
"Great, this tastes delicious!"
Her eyes lit up immediately after she pinched her nose and took a small bite.
The cool, refreshing liquid went down my throat, and my whole body relaxed, with fatigue and exhaustion dissipating.
"Anything made by Chase is guaranteed to be top-notch." Erza finally smiled and gave a thumbs up.
"Mmm! Thank you, Erza!" Lucy nodded emphatically and drank the rest of the liquid in one gulp.
"Shouldn't I be the one thanking you—" Chase muttered under his breath.
Erza ignored her and instead looked at Ikaruga, who remained tight-lipped under Mira's "torture": "So, what are you planning to do with these guys?"
"Let's lock him in the card and take him back. I have plenty of ways to deal with this." Chase pulled out a blank card and chuckled.
Seeing his sinister expression, a hint of fear appeared in the dove's resolute eyes.
Having spent years navigating the dark world, she had witnessed countless terrifying scenes, and this image instinctively flashed before her eyes:
A dark, damp cell; myself, chained and unable to move; a deranged man closing in step by step—
"Bring it on! No matter what torture you inflict, I will never yield!"
The turtledove cried out loudly to mask its inner turmoil.
"Uh, it seems like she's imagining something really outrageous—" Lucy sighed and rubbed her forehead. Are all assassins' minds that dirty?
Chess isn't that kind of person!
"In that case, let's leave the interrogation to Chess~" Mira said with a smile after she was taken over.
Like Lucy, she trusted a certain scoundrel completely.
"Since Mira has said so, I have no objection." Erza spread her hands.
From an interrogation perspective, Chase, with his various strange cards, was indeed much more professional than them.
Ignoring the strange expression on the dove's face, Chase locked the trio in the cards and returned to Magnolia with Lucy and the others.
After sending away his companions who had gathered in the broken streets, he looked at his home, now a ruin, and fell into deep thought.
Catching the three crows ahead of time is certainly a good thing, but the cozy little house that was destroyed is gone forever.
Moreover, it goes without saying that they will be responsible for compensation for damaged streets, houses, and public facilities...
These are not problems. He has enough savings, and he can get a good reward by handing over the three bounty-sent crows to the council.
The key question is, where will we stay tonight?
"Chase, why don't you stay at my place tonight?"
Just as I was struggling with this dilemma, a gentle voice, tinged with barely perceptible shyness, came from behind me.
"Mira, haven't you gone back yet?"
Chase turned around, and Mira, dressed in a burgundy gown, immediately came into view—the bright moonlight concealed the slight blush on the white-haired beauty's face.
"Yeah, all the hotels in town are probably closed this late, and with something like this happening so suddenly, I feel like it'll be safer for us to stay together."
"It's okay, if it really doesn't work, I'll stay in the card space—"
"Then it's decided! Let's go!"
Mira frowned and interrupted, pulling Chase by the hand and heading towards her house, not giving the deadbeat a chance to speak.
Through the intimate contact between their palms, Chase vaguely sensed something from Mira's expression.
After thinking about it, he ultimately remained silent.
The entire journey was speechless.
Because she needed to take care of her younger siblings, Mira didn't live in the girls' dormitory like Erzarebi and the others.
Instead, they settled in a simple two-story house on the outskirts of Magnolia.
The moment I pushed open the door, a surge of male hormones rushed towards me—Elfman, who had returned earlier, was lifting weights in the living room.
"I'm back," Mira said with a smile.
"Manly man! Welcome back, Mira! Pfft! Chase?!"
When Elfman saw Chase come in with Mira, he was immediately startled and almost dropped the barbell in his hand.
Elfman was flustered, his muscle brain working at lightning speed. Just as he was about to say something, Mira was already beside him, raised her hand in a chop, and softly said, "Goodnight."
thump.
Elfman, who had been physically hypnotized, immediately fainted in Mira's arms.
"At least let me give you a heads-up before you make a move—"
Even so, Chase still helped Elfman to the nearest sofa and put him down.
"Oh, isn't Chess surprised?" Mira sat down opposite him.
"They specifically brought me home; it can't be as simple as just letting me stay for one night, right?"
Chess wasn't particular about anything; as he spoke, he looked down and rummaged through the tea leaves under the coffee table.
"I'm just curious how Chase will get the Three Crows to confess."
Mira immediately saw through his thoughts. After handing him the box containing the tea, she emphasized, "No, I'm not worried about you being alone with that woman!"
"Don't worry, her sword broke when she fought Erza, so it can't pose any threat to me." Chess took the tea leaves and poured magic into the magic kettle on the coffee table to start boiling water.
Mira: "..—"
A subtle silence fell over the room, broken only by the gurgling sound of the kettle boiling.
