The magic merchant who mingled with Fairy Tail

"Bi... the game is over!!"

"The winner is Team Laxus, Jura Reikis of the 'Snake Princess' Scales'!!"

The entire audience was instantly excited.

"Oh oh oh! So awesome!!! You are truly worthy of being Jiura-san!!"

"Isn't it?! Is it really fake?!"

"Can you win this??!"

The unexpected result made Laxus look silent and Kira shed tears. They were both dumbfounded at the same time.

"Tell me, how much did you spend to get her to fight match-fixing?"

Under Laxus's gaze, Kira shed two helpless and desolate tears in the corners of her eyes. She looked up to the sky and sighed angrily: "I have known since I was a child that the outcome of a game does not necessarily depend on what is happening within the game, but may also depend on what is happening outside of the game." , I didn’t expect that after so many years of taking precautions, I still got caught today.”

Laxus was silent for two seconds and said calmly: "Well...it didn't cost a penny."

"hateful!!"

Kira hit the stone pillar with a 20-year-old fist.

On the other side, the ‘Emperor’s Shield’ camp.

Zeref felt very novel and interesting about the changes in the battle. With a faint smile, he said to the people behind him: "What an interesting development..."

Ogast: "..."

Father, are you serious when you say this?

Timaria is our companion after all, but now he has lost the duel in such a humiliating way. He will definitely be laughed at by others! !

After thinking about it, Ogast decided to explain for Timaria: "Timaria underestimated the enemy this time and was too playful!"

"No need to defend her, Ogast!"

Zeref smiled softly, but he looked a little sinister, "I don't blame her. Speaking of which, Timaria has become more and more temperamental over the years, so it's a good idea to let her remember this lesson."

Then he glanced at the people behind him who were suppressing laughter and said, "You can laugh if you want."

Ogast shook his head. It doesn't matter if others laugh. How can we laugh at this time?

"We won't..."

"Oh hehehe... Timaria is so cute and stupid~" Brandish's voice came from behind.

"..."

Needless to say, everyone else in our family is laughing at her! !

Auguste turned slightly to look at Brandish, and his voice deepened: "Brandish, don't laugh at your companions!"

Unless you can't help it.

"Oh, I know, old man." Brandish smiled obediently and continued to eat ice cream.

I will laugh again when she comes back.

After the battle, Jura returned to the waiting area for the competition with a bit of confusion, a bit of disbelief, and a bit of melancholy. As soon as he passed by, he saw Kira coming towards him.

"Jiula-san, can't you tell? You, a guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, don't even know how to be a demon, so you are planning a sneak attack??"

"This...the situation forces me to be helpless..."

Faced with Kira's teasing, Jiu La just smiled and raised his hand to touch the big bald spot on his head.

If he could, he wouldn't want to do that. After all, any knowledgeable person could see that Timaria was letting off steam throughout the whole process, but in the end, he didn't hold back and used intrigues. This was somewhat inappropriate.

But there was no way, the opponent was too strong, so he had no choice but to make this move.

Besides, a sneak attack? Can what happened with the magician be considered a sneak attack? This is called fighting wisdom!

Even if this duel may affect his reputation and he may be scolded for being talented but not moral, it is still a trick he learned from a woman named Urrutia two days ago... No! It should be said that it was a last resort operation for the sake of my guild companions, because I am the mage of the 'Snake Princess' Scale'!

I don't know if it was an illusion, but after thinking about it, the depressed mood in Jiula's chest was immediately relieved, and his mood improved instantly. Then he straightened his back and walked to the rest area with his head held high.

"What did he seem to have just figured out?"

"who knows……"

Kira and Laxus looked at each other briefly, and then turned their attention again to the crystal screen in the arena, which was displaying the names of the four mages for the next two-person battle.

So far, both teams have two wins and two losses respectively. There are two more double battles and one single battle ahead. The outcome of the battle is still unknown.

"Here's the list for the third double duel!!"

"Oooh?! That name?!"

Chapati, who was presiding over the competition, looked at the list in her hand and let out weird exclamations one after another, "It's really unexpected!! I believe everyone will be as scared as me when they see the names. Big jump!!”

"Then, let's invite the member of Team Kira, Natsu Dragneel! Rakaide Dragneel!!"

"And a member of Team Laxus, Imber! Sawyer!!"

Thump thump thump…

The names of the four people popped up on the crystal screen.

For a moment, except for a few insiders, all the audience in the venue, the magicians from various guilds, and even the members of Fairy Tail and the Emperor's Shield were all shocked.

"Nani?! Draganiru??"

"Has the same last name as Natsu?! Are they the same family?!"

"How is that possible?! Wasn't Natsu raised by a dragon? Wasn't that guy the same??"

"Idiot! The dragon that raised Natsu is called Igneel, and Dragneel is Natsu's own last name!"

"How could that happen..."

"Eh?! Wait! He smells just like Natsu-san!!"

"What did you say?! Could he be Natsu's long-lost brother?! But neither his face nor his temperament look alike at all!"

As one of the few people who knew the relationship between Racade and Zeref, and the relationship between Zeref and Natsu, the moment he saw Racade's full name, Ogast immediately looked in front of him. Zeref.

"Father..."

Olgast, who didn't like Lacade in the first place, felt even more unhappy at this moment: I haven't disclosed my full name to the outside world yet, how dare this adopted person take the lead? ! I can't swallow this breath! !

"It should have been Kira, right? It doesn't matter, Larcade is now my son anyway."

Zeref smiled again, but this time he smiled with a frown, which was the legendary bitter smile, with a hint of doting on his brows, "As an older brother, just be generous and let him... …”

‘Nani? ! Do you want me to let him go? ! This bastard...'

Ogast's hand holding the magic wand tightened, and his fist suddenly became hard. He didn't let go until he turned his head and saw the same look from his mother Mavis in the distance.

‘Forget it, since even Mother has asked for it, then I’ll just press it for now and give that guy an advantage! ’

At this moment, Zeref's voice came from the front again: "I just don't know, how will Natsu react after knowing his identity?"

Ogast narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Natsu who stepped onto the arena: "You should be surprised..."

In the arena...

Natsu stared blankly at the crystal screen in the distance, the surname that was exactly the same as his own, and then looked at the man next to him who was wearing a cross, with his palms clasped together in front of his chest, his expression pious and peaceful, and his whole body was exuding white holy light, and the smell The guy who looked very similar to himself frowned instantly.

"Why is your last name also Dragnaru?"

"Why do you taste so similar to me??"

Lacade did not answer either question directly, but continued to move forward: "Someone will tell you after the battle is over."

Just kidding, if I explain my identity, I have to mention my father, and I will not expose my father's name to the public easily without my father's permission.

Although Larcade didn't know how Kira knew his surname, making his name and surname public was equivalent to telling the entire Fiore Kingdom that he was Natsu's family member.

This means that he is the son of his father (Zerf)!

So Lacade was in a very good mood, and even his usually steady steps were a little brisk.

Game waiting area.

Laxus stared at Kira with an evil look: "Didn't you say that you promised Natsu to let him fight alone?"

"Yes, but I didn't say let him participate in a single battle!"

Kira tilted her head slightly and looked at Laxus pretending to be confused, "Single combat is different from fighting alone, right? As long as Rakaid didn't take action in this battle, Natsu would be one against two. , isn’t that just a one-man battle?”

"I wonder if someone with Natsu's personality would be more likely to win a one-on-one match than one-on-one, right?"

"Are you saying that guy won't take action? Humph! What an idiot..."

His arrogant and face-saving character is as usual.

After Laxus snorted coldly, he locked his eyes on Rakaide. He felt a powerful magic power in the other person that was not weaker than his own.

"Who is that guy? He should also be a member of the Twelve Shields, right?"

"Natsu's eldest nephew!"

"Huh? What do you mean??"

Eldest nephew? Natsu has a brother? Wasn't he raised by a dragon? Where did the nephew come from? ?

A trace of doubt flashed in Laxus's eyes, and he knew there was something fishy in this as soon as he thought about it. However, Kira didn't want to answer him at this time. He just said lightly: "I'll explain it to you when we get back to the guild. I don't want to explain it." So many times!”

In the arena, Imber fell silent the moment he saw Larcade and Natsu.

One is His Majesty's son and the other is His Majesty's brother.

Can I still win this game?
