"It's delicious~!"
"If you want more, just order it."
"No, no. It's fine."
Kira was generous, but Lucy didn't want to take advantage of his kindness.
Yet, Cana had no such hesitation and raised her hand, then said, "Then, I will order more! Waitress, come here! I want to order more!"
Still, Kira only glanced at Cana and asked, "Are you sure? You are going to become fat and ugly, you know?"
"....."
Cana took a deep breath as she looked at Kira with a gentle smile, then said, "How about we take it outside? Let's have a duel!"
"Calm down, Cana! Calm down!"
Lucy quickly hugged Cana, trying to calm her down and prevent her from getting even angrier.
"Did you not hear what he said to me, Lucy?!"
"I know, but it isn't good to eat too much, right?"
Lucy also felt that it wasn't good to eat too much, but Cana was speechless. "You... you really have lost a cause..."
Still, inwardly, Cana felt a bit jealous since the way Kira treated Lucy was much better than her, so she looked at Kira with a smile and asked, "So you like Lucy?"
"Cana!"
Yet, Lucy was embarrassed!
Still, her eyes glanced at Kira's reaction.
"I like her."
"..." 2x
"Compared to you, she is better."
"...." 2x
"What? Do you think I am embarrassed or something? You are such a baby, Cana."
As he said so, Kira looked at Cana with a teasing smile.
"Lucy! This bastard is so hateful!"
Cana hugged Lucy tightly, but Lucy's face was so red as she fell into an imagination of their future.
"Like... Like... Like..."
From their meetings, arduous adventures, then falling in love, kissing, having sex, getting married, then having many children!
"There will be a lot of children..."
"....." Kira and Cana.
"Let's eat."
"Okay."
For the first time, Kira and Cana didn't fight and just quietly ate their breakfast. Still, as they had breakfast, they talked about the previous day when he had followed Natsu and Happy to save Macao.
"How was he?" Cana asked worriedly.
"He is okay. I have treated him."
"That's great, then."
Kira looked at Cana, who let out a sigh of relief, wondering whether this woman had a fetish toward a middle-aged man or because she cared about her comrade. Still, it was too troublesome to ask, so he just pretended that he hadn't noticed anything; yet, this also made him wonder when he could be involved in a certain mission, or else, he was afraid that he would fight everyone to fill his gauge for the gacha.
Kira wanted to have more power, but he knew it wasn't so easy, especially since he wasn't even sure when he would have another chance for an adventure.
Regardless, Lucy felt at ease when she knew he was okay, and it seemed he hadn't used the ability that had made him go on a rampage, as he hadn't mentioned it. Or did he use it, but he didn't mention it since Cana was around?
If possible, Lucy wished to talk with Kira alone, but Cana said, "Say, Kira, can I have a sip? Just a glass? Yes, a bottle of wine! Can I?" The food was delicious, but she had to say she wouldn't be satisfied without drinking a sip of alcohol. This guy might be hateful, but as he was quite wealthy, it wouldn't hurt to treat her a bit, right?
"...." Kira and Lucy.
This woman was an addict, Kira thought, which made him feel helpless, wondering why Cana had such a shitty personality.
'Even though she is cute...' Sighing, he looked at Cana and asked, "If you like alcohol so much, why don't you make it yourselves? It's cheaper, after all."
"M-Make it myself?!"
It was like a bolt of thunder during the midday. Cana felt like her soul trembled when she heard such words from Kira.
"Yes, the ingredients are simple, after all."
"Is it?" Lucy might have sipped one or two, but whether she loved it or not, she could only say that it was okay. However, it was her first time to know that alcoholic beverages had simple ingredients.
"Yes, if it's a wine, you only need grape juice and yeast."
"That's it?
"That's it." Kira looked at Cana and said, "You must have tasted many alcoholic beverages, right? It can become a business for you."
"Hmm...."
Unexpectedly, his words brought so much of an impact to Cana that she couldn't help but think of this problem seriously. Similar to many other members of the Fairy Tail, her past wasn't good, and while she had something that she wanted to do, she lacked a direction in his life as she wasn't sure what the dream that she really wanted to do was, but this wasn't surprising, especially when everyone was just living on their best to live, considering their income wasn't high.
Yes, the income of the mage wasn't high, and it was often quite troublesome, which would take several days for them to finish. If they were hurt or caused damage, their incomes would be even further reduced, so if Cana could somehow make her own alcoholic beverages, then make it into a business?
What would happen?
Even if there was a day when their income was high, their expenditure was also high, especially for Cana, whose magic needed a specific item to be used.
"Do you think I can do it, Kira?" Cana asked worriedly; after all, it wasn't easy to make a business.
"Just try it first; anyway, it won't cost you a lot if you only make a few, right?"
"Well, that's true."
As they talked about alcohol, Lucy sighed in relief since their relationship appeared to have become peaceful, and they were no longer fighting with each other.
'It's good that they have become good friends,' Lucy thought inwardly, without thinking of the consequences of what would happen if Kira and Cana became even closer to each other.
Nevertheless, after paying the money, the three went on to Fairy Tail, but Lucy couldn't help but ask, "How did you stay at that hotel?"
"Mira recommended it to me."
"Mira? Mirajane?" Cana was startled as she looked at Kira with doubt.
"Yes." Kira nodded. "She waited for all of us to return last night, then recommended this hotel to stay at."
"As expected of Mira-san..." Lucy sighed in a marvel with shining eyes. "She is such an angel!"
Only Cana was in doubt, since, unlike Kira and Lucy, who had only known about Mirajane yesterday, she had known Mirajane for so long; therefore, she also understood what kind of a woman Mirajane was.
"Did she guide you here?"
"Yes."
"....." Cana.
Mirajane might be beautiful, and she also had a lot of men who wanted to court her, but Cana knew well that no one had succeeded. After all, considering Mirajane's past, she felt that Mirajane would seek someone who had a similar magic or who could defeat her so that way, Mirajane wouldn't lose her family, as she had experienced much sadness from losing her own.
Still, while strength was important, being reliable was also important; after all, while many strong men in Fairy Tail, none of them could gain Mirajane's heart, right?
So, was Miraje going to steal Kira from Lucy?
Cana might appear as a drunkard most of the time, but this was just 10% of her time; instead, during the 90% when she was sober, she was reliable and probably the most normal.
"Kira!"
When they arrived at the Fairy Tail, Mirajane was there, coming to greet them, but then again, after Kira answered her greeting, he noticed Cana's weird gaze.
"What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"
Taking a deep breath, Cana wrapped her hand around his neck, pressing her ample breasts and soft skin against his face, which made him overwhelmed by the intense softness and gentle scent that invaded his olfactory sense.
"You lucky guy! Go and treat me to alcohol!"
