The magic merchant who mingled with Fairy Tail

In the afternoon, Natsu and Happy were running around looking for the "unintelligible magic book"...

library.

"Eh? Weird text?!"

It was as if the scene was reappearing. After listening to Natsu's narration, Leibby enthusiastically deciphered the magic book. However, after working for more than half an hour and looking through all the books in the collection, she still couldn't find similar words.

"[Those whose shadows are stepped on will be pierced through the heart by a sharp sword], I only saw this sentence."

Jett and Dorel, who were on the side, also came over and told what they saw, which were [The person whose color was guessed will be punished with an axe] and [The person who was seen moving will be punished ten thousand times. hammer】.

"What is this? A children's game of house?"

Just when Natsu and Habi were about to leave in disappointment, Rebby suddenly said: "If it's a special text, maybe Philide can understand it?"

So one person and one cat came to the guild again and found other companions. Without exception, no one could understand the text, but everyone could understand a sentence.

"[Souls that cannot die completely will be placed here]"

"[The shackles of the chains make both parties die together]"

"[The boundary between life and death will be broken]"

"[Misfortune can only be transferred but not eliminated]"

"[After soaking, the second stage of terror will begin]"

"[Retribution will haunt a lifetime and bear the fruits of sin]"

"[Darkness is also civilization]"

"[The transformation between hunter and prey occurs only in an instant]"

"[Don't look up at the moon]"

"[Things discarded will return to their original place]"

Snapped!

Laxus threw the magic book back to Natsu and Happy: "It's written mysteriously, maybe it's Kira's prank! You must be the only ones to fall for it! Hahahaha..."

…

"Natsu, have we really been cheated?"

On the street, Happy and Natsu were in low spirits. Even though Gein had called so many people, they still had no clue about this book.

"No! Although I can't understand it, I can clearly feel that there is a very dark magic in it. This book is definitely not that simple!"

"Oh?!" Happy looked shocked that Natsu would use his brain to think about this matter. "How about going back and asking Kira?"

When Natsu and Happy arrived at the Hope Cottage, it was already dusk, but Kira was nowhere to be seen in the store, and even the bookshelf that they knocked down before had not been put away.

"Kira! Kira!..."

"No one is here, are you out?"

"Happy, be careful!" Natsu's expression suddenly became very serious: "There seems to be something wrong!"

The entire Hope Cottage was filled with weirdness. Not only that, but there was also a strange magic in the air. After Natsu felt it carefully, he found that the dark magic seemed to be coming out of the magic book in their hands.

call out--!

While they were wondering, the magic book in Natsu's hand seemed to be affected by this dark magic, and erupted with terrifying energy, blowing one person and one cat several meters away.

“So hot!!”

"what happened?!"

Snap!

The magic book that fell to the ground suddenly spread out, and the strong dark magic power around it quickly gathered, and a dark green will-o'-the-wisp ignited above it. The will-o'-the-wisp emitted a dazzling light, filling the entire Hope Cottage.

Natsu and Habi, who witnessed all these changes, immediately felt something bad: "Is this... the curse of the magic book?"

"Are there any ghosts or demons coming out of it?"

Before the two of them were ready to fight, the will-o'-the-wisp split into two and turned into two dark green lasers that shot towards Natsu and Happy. The room was filled with light for a moment!

"No! Habi! Get out of the way!"

Natsu shouted and quickly stood up and ran in the direction of Happy, but his movements were still a step too late. At such a distance and speed, he could not dodge the speeding beam at all.

call out! call out!

"hateful……"

The light accurately hit Natsu and Happy, quickly taking away their consciousness.

…

When consciousness gradually woke up, the sky was already dark.

"Oops!"

Natsu stood up suddenly and found that he was still in the Hope Cottage, and Happy was lying next to him, fast asleep.

Through the moonlight, he saw the weird magic book lying quietly not far from him, with all the magic in it gone, just like an ordinary book.

"Happy! Get up!"

"Um...Natsu..." Happy stood up, rubbing his sleepy eyes, and asked inarticulately, "What's wrong? Is it morning?"

"Do you remember what happened?"

"Ah! Let me think about it...we came to find Kira, and then the magic book suddenly glowed green, and then...that's right! We were hit by the cursed light!!"

"Curse...shot...ahhhh!!!"

As the memories returned with clearer and clearer memories, the two of them ran and jumped around anxiously, "It's over, it's over... We've been cursed!! We have to find a way quickly!"

The moment they looked at each other, they were suddenly stunned by each other's appearance.

"Happy, on your head..."

"On Natsu's head..."

The reaction of their partner showed that something was wrong. The two quickly came to the mirror in the store. Under the bright moonlight, a familiar and strange magic emblem was engraved on their foreheads.

"Hey, Natsu. Do you think this crest is similar to the cover of that book?"

"Could it be a curse mark?"

After staring blankly for three seconds, the two of them started running around in panic again: "Ah ah ah ah!!! Curse!! Curse!! We are cursed!! We have to find a way quickly!!!"

Magnolia is a coastal city with a small temperature difference between day and night, but Natsu and Happy felt cold in their hearts as they walked on the road.

"How to do how to do……"

After a day of running around, coupled with the strange sentences they heard from others that no one could understand but could translate, unspeakable fear kept rising in the hearts of Natsu and Habi.

Happy said pitifully: "Natsu, I'm hungry..."

Natsu also bent over and said with a sad face: "Me too, but at this time, the shops are closed, and there is no food stored at home..."

"Yoshi! Let's go to Lucy's house and look for something to eat!!"

"Hey!!"

One person and one cat became lively and energetic again, running towards Lucy's rental house.

Click!

With a crisp metal sound, the door lock was opened easily. Two figures, one big and one small, entered Lucy's house. They walked to the kitchen with familiarity, opened the refrigerator, took out the stored food and ate it.

After eating and drinking, Natsu and Happy fell on the sofa and touched their big bellies bulging from the food: "I'm so full!"

"Speaking of which, Lucy's vigilance is really low. She hasn't even woken up yet!"

"Of course, right? Kira said that some people sleep like pigs and can't be woken up! Lucy usually eats so much, so she must be very familiar with her sleep!"

During the conversation, one person and one cat naturally walked towards Lucy's bedroom again.

The dark bedroom was quietly opened...

"Come and paint on Lucy's face while she's sleeping!!"

“The pen is ready!!”

Natsu jumped in with a whoosh and hid beside the bed.

Happy jumped in with the same "whoosh" and bumped into Natsu's leg.

The two heads slowly moved up, staring...

"Eh? Lucy isn't here?!"

There was no Lucy sleeping soundly as expected on the big soft bed in front of her, and the entire bedroom was empty.

"Where would she be at a time like this?"

"Natsu, come here and take a look at this!"

Happy's voice interrupted Natsu's doubts. He came to the desk and saw lying quietly on it the strange magic book that had troubled them all day!

"Happy, did you bring this book with you?"

"How is that possible! You should have brought it here, Natsu, right?"

"No! It should be placed in the Hope Cottage!"

The two sides looked at each other and realized something was wrong.

Natsu picked up the book and looked through it again, and found that he still couldn't understand a sentence. At this moment, he found a piece of paper under the book. What was written on the paper was exactly what they got from others today, And there is one more sentence.

"[Inhuman monster broke into the door at midnight]"

"No! Lucy must be cursed too!!!"
