"Is it okay for you to treat me?"
"It's fine." At that moment, Kira didn't lack money. While the amount of his money wasn't unlimited, he had enough to allow him to live comfortably for a few years without working.
Also—
"There is also something that I want to ask you, too."
"Oh? Do you want to ask me about something? What is it?"
What did Kira want to ask her? Mirajane felt curious.
After his invitation, the two went to Mirajane's favorite restaurant, and they had dinner together. Still, while his motive was quite impure as he wanted to be closer to a beautiful woman, he also wanted to ask her about another problem.
"If I am not wrong, Elfman is your brother, right?"
"Yes, he is my younger brother. What's wrong with Elfman?" Mirajane became even more confused as she ate her pasta.
"That magic that he used was that 'Take Over' magic?"
"Do you want to learn the 'Take Over' magic, too? If you want, then I can teach you."
This was what she thought after she learned his question, thinking that he must be interested in the "Take Over" magic.
"Did you learn the 'Take Over' magic, too, Mira?"
While Kira knew more or less about Mirajane, including the magic that she had mastered from the memory of his previous life, at this time, it would be weird if he knew everything about her, right?
After all, isn't it creepy for someone you don't know to know everything about you?
"Yes." Mirajane patted her chest and said, "Moreover, I am also an S-Rank Mage, too!"
"..." Kira.
"Ah, you don't believe me? Do you want me to beat you so you will believe me?"
"...no, I believe you."
"That's good."
"..." Kira.
"But let me remind you that while this magic is simple, it is also dangerous."
The "Take Over" magic was simple, but it was also dangerous, especially since Mirajane had experienced it firsthand.
"Dangerous?"
"To take over the creature by using the 'Take Over' magic, you need to overpower it, or else your body will be taken over, and you will go berserk." Mirajane looked at Kira with an expression that was far different from the gentleness that she always showed. She was solemn, serious as if telling him that this magic was dangerous.
Frankly, the "Giant" magic should be enough for Kira to stay alive most of the time, but—
"How do you overcome that?"
"...you still want to learn?"
Kira hesitated, but since Mirajane had helped him and was also the one with the best mastery over the "Take Over" magic, he knew he had to tell her about his problem so he could solve it faster. To be honest, I have a magic that shares a similar problem to the 'Take Over' magic.
"Really?!"
"Well, I don't dare to use it, though, but I know that I can't run away, so I ask those who use the 'Take Over' magic for their experience."
Dangerous Game.
This was the ability that he mentioned, as he knew well that this ability was quite similar to the "Take Over" magic. By using the Dangerous Game, he would gain the power of his other self and even become a creature similar to a werewolf.
The "Take Over" magic was quite similar as the user could become the creature that they had taken over.
Naturally, the problem was that their minds would be taken over by the creatures that they had become.
Yes, Kira also understood that the Dangerous Game and the "Take Over" magic were different, but if possible, he wanted to try whether it was possible for him to tame his mind when he used the Dangerous Game and also slightly change how he appeared when he became a werewolf.
Changing the appearance aside, if somehow, Kira was able to control his mind that was corroded and have a calm mind instead of going berserk like a beast, he felt that he could become stronger.
Moreover, there was also a possibility of combining the "Take Over" magic and the Dangerous Game.
While Kira knew that he could become stronger by using the gacha ability, if possible, he wanted to master the abilities he had, as it would be wasteful if he didn't master them, right?
More importantly, the stronger he was, the safer he felt he was.
The chance was low, though, especially when he knew that his talent was magic was only so-so, but somehow, once again, his hands, the special hands that he gained from Shiro Kotomine, told him that if he asked and learned the "Take Over" magic, he could become even stronger.
Unexpectedly, Mirajane said, "If that's the case, then let's start the training tomorrow."
"Eh?" Kira was surprised. "Is that okay?"
"Why not? Moreover, the faster we solve your problem, the better it is."
Mirajane quickly became cornered when Kira told her that he had a similar problem to the one her brother had encountered, and she understood why he had shared this information with her. It must be hard, she thought, especially when he had decided to open up to her about his problem. However, as he thought that she had an answer to his problem, he decided to open that secret, and because of that, she wouldn't try to betray that trust.
"....." Kira.
Watching his reaction, Mirajane smiled as usual. "Like you, who was willing to help Macao, you have become a member of Fairy Tail. If you need our help, we will do our best to assist you."
"...thanks."
What could he say at this moment except for that?
"Are you moved to tears now?"
"...stop teasing me, okay?" Kira sighed, then asked, "But are you okay to teach me by yourself?"
"What do you mean?"
"I mean, aren't you going to tell the others about it?"
"Are you okay with that?"
"With what?"
"By talking your problem to others, to Master and my little brother."
"If possible, I don't want to trouble others, nor do I want others to know my problem, but the faster I can master this ability, the better it is, right? And I don't want to trouble you so much."
If possible, Kira wanted to hide his ability. Yes, he could trust the members of Fairy Tail, but it didn't mean that he had told them everything, right?
Moreover, he felt that he was afraid that he would trouble Mirajane so much.
"Okay, then, I will help you myself."
"...."
"What if I attack you?"
Why did it sound lewd, somehow?
"Then, I will beat you." Mirajane raised her arm, displaying her biceps, and said, "Even if I look like this, I'm pretty strong, you know?"
"..."
"Are you sure?"
"Should I show you my power now?"
"No, no. It's fine. I believe in you, but are you okay with helping me this much?"
"If you feel uncomfortable with it, then just help me when I need your help later."
Staring at Mirajane's smiling face for a moment, Kira said, "Thanks."
"No problem~!"
Yet, this also made him think that joining Fairy Tail was the right choice.
"Still, is that okay for you to train so soon? Don't you have anything to do?" Mirajane suddenly asked. After all, Kira had just moved to Magnolia town, so she thought that he would be busy.
"Well, my plan is just to look for a house tomorrow, so it is okay."
As he would be living in this town for a long time, Kira thought it would be a good idea to get a house. It was a bit weird to stay at the hotel all the time, and while he had money, why shouldn't he get a house?
"Eh? Are you going to buy a house?"
"...is that what you are interested in?"
"Okay, let's search for the house tomorrow, too!"
"Are you going with me when I search for a house?"
"Anyway, you are unfamiliar with this place, right? What kind of a house are you looking for?"
"...."
While Kira was helpless, it was hard for him to say anything that would lower her excitement after Mirajane decided to help him, but somehow, the face of Lucy appeared in his mind. They might not be dating, yet if he just ignored Lucy and went on with Mirajane like this, then he felt that it was wrong, yet if he went on with Lucy—
"What's wrong?"
Tilting her head, Mirajane looked at him with doubt, but even so, such an expression made her appear cuter.
"Nothing. It's already late. Let me send you back."
"Eh? You're going to send me back?"
"If you are fine with it. It's already late, so I am worried about you going home alone."
"I am not weak."
"You are not weak, but I can't sleep comfortably if I don't know that you can go home safely."
"Then, I will take your offer so you can sleep comfortably."
"Yup, so I can sleep comfortably."
The two laughed, walking together under the starry night. It felt comfortable, they thought.
Yet, was it okay for this to go on?
"Then, see you tomorrow, Kira."
"Yeah, see you tomorrow, Mira."
Watching her enter her house, Kira waved his hand before he left. Yet, even though they were parted, her sweet, womanly fragrance still lingered on his body, making him feel giddy and hot.
"No, no."
Taking a deep breath, Kira tried to pray to calm his mind, telling himself that it wasn't good to view a woman who treated him kindly in such a way.
"...let's just focus on getting stronger first."
Still, before that, he decided to take a cold bath to calm himself, but when he thought that he couldn't fall asleep unexpectedly, as he lay on his bed, he slept immediately, clearly exhausted from all of his adventures earlier.
