The magic merchant who mingled with Fairy Tail

Chapter 371 Daily Life - How Santa Claus got laid off

As Christmas approaches, everyone, under Makarov's arrangement, adds many festive decorations to the guild tavern. The biggest change is that there are several more "Christmas areas" in the tavern.

These "Christmas fields" are enclosed by a wooden fence and inside is a pine tree stuck in the snow.

At the top of the tree is a golden five-pointed star or a huge bow; the middle is filled with colorful satins, bells, light bulbs, and dolls of different colors; and underneath are piles of gift boxes of different sizes.

It can be said that the festive atmosphere is quite strong.

In the guild, there are also several newly installed leather sofas. In addition to pillows, there are also various styles of plush dolls on the sofas. These dolls include Santa Claus and reindeer, as well as their own wizards. Of course, they are all It's a Christmas outfit.

Most of them are women. Basically, the popularity of female wizards in the guild can be seen from the number: Mira is the most popular woman, and naturally there are the most dolls in her image, Erza, Lu Xi'er is second, and the rest of the girls are relatively small, the number is about the same but everyone has it.

There are also dolls in the image of boys, but the overall number is relatively small, and they are only available for magicians who are handsome or famous, and Kira, who has both. As for those like Macao who have neither... hehe.

The appearance of "Fairy Tail Mage Plush Dolls" dates back to a few days ago. These things suddenly appeared in Magnolia and quickly became a trend, spreading to the guild in less than a day.

So everyone started to follow suit, and then in order to prove their popularity, some people bought dolls in their own image and gave them to the guild; others simply liked a certain wizard, so they bought a bunch of them and put them in the tavern to enjoy - now This is how the dolls in the image of Mira, which can be seen everywhere in the guild, came to be.

Not surprisingly, Juvia spent a lot of money to buy a large number of Gray dolls, so the Gray dolls became the second most numerous dolls. After that, the slut was not satisfied and hung the doll on herself, causing difficulty in moving.

Similar to Juvia, but not as crazy, Jet and Dorell are naturally holding dolls in the image of Lebby. They show off and shout, fearing that others will not know that they like Lebby, which makes Lebby very uncomfortable. Very embarrassing than myself.

The most reserved ones in the guild were Alzac and Bisca. They hid the dolls and did not dare to show them to the public, but everyone knew that the dolls they held in their arms were dolls in the image of each other.

All in all, everyone had a great time because of the plush dolls - Kira was even happier because he was the one selling them.

At this time, Kira was sitting on a leather sofa, holding seven or eight task sheets, with a sad look on his face: "Name the task... People have this kind of trouble when they become famous."

Lucy on the side was filled with envy after hearing this. She almost had the words "Give me this trouble" written on her face. Out of curiosity, she asked aloud: "What task has you been assigned to do? Is it troublesome?" "

"It won't be troublesome. They are just small tasks, but there is a time limit. Look!"

Lucy took the stack of tasks handed over by Kira and found that they were all tasks such as "pretend to be Santa Claus to deliver XX (gifts) to children on Christmas Eve".

Kira lay on the sofa and muttered: "Really, Santa only works one night a year, but I work for a whole year! Now he wants me to work overtime to give him a holiday. What do you think? - This sofa so comfortable!"

Lucy complained speechlessly: "Well...but Santa Claus was fake from the beginning, right? Isn't that just what parents use to trick their children?"

"It's not like that! They are real!" Kira said forcefully, "It's just that later on someone always took away the job that originally belonged to Santa Claus, causing them to face the crisis of being laid off, and finally they were fired directly, so now there are almost no People get to see the real Santa Claus!!!”

Hearing Kira say something so certain, so detailed, and so logical, Natsu and Habi's faces were immediately replaced by shock: "Ehhhhh??!! Is that so?!"

Gray was even more shocked than them: "Do you really believe it??!! You'll know it's a lie when you hear it!!"

"Eh?! So it's still fake??!!"

"...Two idiots!!"

Lucy put down the pile of task sheets in her hand and asked, "These don't seem to be difficult tasks. Even the gifts are reimbursed by the client. Why are you so worried?"

Kira replied angrily: "Let me ask you, what's the point of the client entrusting us with this task? Why don't you just send it off yourself after the children go to bed!"

Erza, who had been silent, finally spoke: "What Kira said is not unreasonable, but sometimes there are special circumstances, such as parents not having time, so I will still choose to accept it!"

In fact, she received a similar commission.

"I understand what you mean, but why is it a named mission? Any magician can do this, right?"

"Maybe you are too famous..."

Kira sighed helplessly: "Hey... I originally wanted to go give gifts to the children in the orphanage tonight..."

"Eh? How can you be so kind?"

"Of course! I'm their teacher Kira! Hey...what are you looking at? If you don't believe me, ask Kana!" After saying this, Kira suddenly turned around and shouted, "By the way, Kana, you What gifts have you prepared for the children?”

Not far away, Kana's drinking hand suddenly trembled: "Haha...haha...this..."

Kira understood: "I know!"

This guy definitely didn't prepare anything!

…

Night, heavy snow.

A gorgeously dressed reindeer sleigh is running in the air, and the sleigh is pulling a medium-sized car seat. The figure on the car seat has a big white beard, a red hat, a red cotton coat, and black boots. There was also a bulging light yellow cloth bag inside.

This person is none other than Kira in Christmas costume.

He still chose to accept the commission, and as for the matter of delivering gifts to the children in the orphanage, he left it to Kana who didn't buy any gifts - she would always do the same thing, whether it was money or effort.

Maybe starting from tomorrow, the legend of "Santa Claus" will spread in Magnolia, and she will also be a Santa Claus who loves to drink.

The sleigh landed on the roof with a clatter. Kira picked up the cloth bag that seemed to contain a lot of things, but was actually empty, and walked towards the chimney.

Of course, the cloth bag is just a decoration. The gifts that parents prepare to give to their children are all placed in Kira's portable space. With such a convenient magic, who would honestly put the gifts in the cloth bag?

In order to fit the character's image, Kira deliberately used cotton to hold up his clothes a little. He really looked like a pot-bellied Santa Claus, but he walked with light steps, which could not hide his carefreeness, so he looked more like a Santa Claus. A spirited old man.

"Work, work!"

The chimney was dirty, dark, and narrow, but that didn't matter to Kira. He wasn't really fat. He took out the lighting crystal, cast flying magic, and entered through the chimney in less than a minute. house.

Although this was a commission, out of a conscientious attitude, Kira could only carefully read the child's wish before giving the gift away.

"These parents are serious. Can't they peek at their children's wishes in advance? If I don't prepare corresponding gifts, won't the mission fail?"

Kira quietly found the child's bedroom. The child was sleeping deeply, which was a good time for him to do his task.

Kira picked up the wish list hanging on the Christmas tree. There were very few words on it, just a simple line. She was a little surprised, and then she smiled happily: "So few wishes? It seems that this is a very honest child. …”

【I want to become a great wizard. 】

Kira was silent, and the smile froze on his face.

Can you figure out the purpose of Santa Claus and then make a wish? ! !
