Chapter 499: “Poor Laxus”
Erza, Natsu just did something bad today! We had a fight! Happy exclaimed while crying toward Erza.
Teaching continued until noon, when Happy wiped her tears and nestled into Erzas arms, signaling a temporary pause in the lesson.
Whats bothering you? Erza asked as she held Happy.
In response, Happy began to voice her grievances about Natsu.
They had been fishing competitively, but when Natsu caught a fish, he used his dragon fire to cook it and devoured it in a single gulp.
The master is hungry. Since its time for dinner, lets invite the family to join us. Dont cry, Happy. Youll get plenty of sashimi later!
Jerry rose from his seat and observed the room. It was already past one oclock, and he patted Happys head with a smile.
Eii!
As soon as Happy heard the word Sashimi, she happily spread her wings and flew toward Lucy.
Lucy and Gray rushed to join them upon hearing Happys announcement that Jerry had invited them to a free meal.
Natsu hadnt made much money lately, and his wallet was empty.
The same was true for Lucy.
Although Gray had some savings, he couldnt resist the offer of a free meal from the local rich guy.
Lets go, lets go! Ive been craving sashimi! Happy eagerly urged her family to hurry to the citys restaurant, with saliva practically dripping from her mouth.
Hurry up, hurry up!
Natsus expression mirrored Happys excitement.
On the other hand, Lucy stared at them and complained, Idiots, you just ate that fish, bones and all!
No worries! Jerry chuckled, unphased.
Erza took a sip of her drink and suddenly froze.
Then, her stomach rumbled loudly.
Gray pointed at Erza and teased, Erza, your stomach just growled!
No, there must be something wrong with my hearing. I must have misheard, Erza retorted, drawing a magic sword and giving Gray a serious look.
Gray could only gulp while staring at Erza blankly.
In my haste, I forgot to mention that Ive learned some special cooking magic during my years of traveling. So, today, lets go camping!
Jerry unrolled a super-sized picnic cloth on the ground, then gently snapped his fingers and chanted silently, Fra Dimension!
In an instant, the once-empty picnic cloth was laden with plates of exquisite food and various unheard-of drinks and dishes.
Magic exists in this world!
Seeing Jerry conjure so much food and drink out of thin air, Erza, Lucy, and Gray widened their eyes.
Magic was real, indeed.
While there were many types of magic in the world, no magic could create food and drinks out of thin air.
Otherwise, mages wouldnt need to work to earn a living.
Ah, it looks delicious! Natsus joyful voice snapped everyone out of their astonishment.
Natsu, never one to waste time when food was involved, grabbed a roast lamb and a plate of top-quality sashimi and dug in with relish.
Seeing this, Erzas stomach rumbled, and she rushed to the dining table.
After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, Lucy, Gray, and Natsu left to return home while Erza continued to teach Jerry a few more magic lessons.
And so, the day continued until six oclock in the evening as the daylight gradually dimmed. Todays magic lessons officially came to an end.
Ive made excellent progress today. For the remaining content, well continue once your customized armor arrives.
Erza was very pleased with Jerrys progress. He quickly grasped any new knowledge she presented, much better than when she had taught Gray.
Its quite troublesome. Lets head home after dinner.
Jerry waved and opened a portal to his house, inviting Erza to join him for dinner.
After a tiring day of tutoring, dinner was well-deserved.
Considering their magical lunch that afternoon, Erza swallowed her hesitations and accepted the offer.
After all, Jerrys house was located in the city and was quite far from Jerry and Lucys place.
Besides, she planned to return home and rest after dinner.
Oh, I almost forgot something!
Just as they were about to step through the portal, a thought suddenly crossed Jerrys mind, which was promptly interrupted by Erzas exclamation.
Alright, what is it? Erza asked.
Jerry hesitated for a moment, then finally remembered what he had forgotten.
After they closed the portal, a thought suddenly crossed Jerrys mind.
Okay, so what Mirajane said about my home is true.
The Fairy Tail Guild had heard from Mirajane that Jerrys home was imbued with space magic, and it was deemed unique and beautiful beyond their wildest imagination.
The place where I learned magic. Because I miss it from time to time, I build it to reminisce my past
Now, Erza realized that Mirajanes description had been quite conservative.
In fact, it was far more than just impressive; it was beyond belief.
Who could boast of a house with a castle and a lake like this?
Jerry gazed at the Black Lake, reminiscent of Hogwarts Castle in the distance, a hint of nostalgia in his eyes.
For some inexplicable reason, he suddenly yearned for the life he had once led in that castle.
This yearning prompted him to use the Extension Charm to expand the space inside his home, effectively replicating the Black Lake of Hogwarts Castle.
Perhaps it would be fitting to return to Hogwarts after spending some more time in this world.
After they finished dinner, Jerry walked Erza to the door.
Erza hesitated for a moment, then turned to Jerry and said, Laxus may have been a bit hasty earlier, and I hope you wont hold it against him for what he did before
She recalled her experiences when she first joined the Guild, bonding with fellow mages like Natsu, Gray, and Cana.
Many of the prominent members of the Guild now had their own children as well.
Erza understood that Laxus, who had already attained S-Class magician status, was a few years older and had matured. He also displayed more consideration and understanding in his character.
The only exception was Laxuss father, Makarovs son, Ivan Dreyar, who had been expelled from the Guild for reasons unknown.
This experience seemed to have altered his temperament significantly.
He had become irritable and often made rebellious remarks.
This led to frequent disputes with the Guild Master, and he often mocked some of the Guilds powerful allies.
Despite these changes, Erza believed that Laxus still deeply believed in the Guild and cared for every member of it.
She wanted Jerry, who had recently joined the Guild, to understand this background and not hold any grudges.
Jerrys expression looked peculiar as he listened to Erzas words.
Suddenly, he remembered something he had forgotten.
