Kira wasn't sure, but Elfman had already escaped, which made him curse this guy.
Yet, surprisingly, Lucy didn't run away despite facing Mirajane's sweet smile and shattered glass. Still, she was a bit nervous as Kira hadn't given her an answer. She wasn't afraid of Mirajane, but she was worried that Kira would make his decision too soon and fall for Mirajane.
"You should help her, Kira."
Somehow, Cana joined in, moving so close that she ignored his personal space, pressing her tanned breasts against his body. They were soft, he thought, and he was sure that it would be comfortable to put his face on those bountiful of happiness, but Kira put his palm on her face and pushed her away.
"...." Cana.
"You smell like alcohol. Don't get too close."
It seemed that his resistance wasn't that much different from his previous life, and he got slightly dizzy when he smelled the intense smell of alcohol from Cana's body.
"...."
Clenching her fists, Cana tried to hold her anger and not beat this guy up!
However—
"Mira, get me all the barrels of alcohol! It's his treat!"
However, Mirajane didn't do what Cana told her and looked at Kira.
"Get all the alcohol for her, but don't let her get close to me."
"Do you not like alcohol that much that you even refuse to get close to a beautiful woman like me?" Cana stared at Kira speechlessly, thinking that this guy must hate alcohol that he even pushed her so strongly despite knowing how he was attracted to her curvy body.
Taking a deep breath, Kira ignored Cana and focused his attention on Lucy. "Can you let me see the quest, Lucy?"
"Sure, here. I picked the perfect one! It's easy and makes a lot of money!"
As Lucy wanted Kira to follow her, she tried to persuade him, much like an MLM agent trying to sell their products, but his expression became strange when he read the quest.
"Taking an important book from Everlue?"
Yet, despite how easy this quest was, Kira could see many suspicious points within this quest.
First, the reward, which was a staggering two million jewels, and considering how simple this job was as they only needed to take a book, it was suspicious.
The second was the identity of Everlue, who was known as a politician with absolute power and influence over Shirotsume Town. With such an identity, it was impossible for this man to be simple, and frankly, to make an enemy of such a character, the reward was too low.
The last point, which was the most important, was that this quest told them to steal!
Yes, a steal!
Even if Everlue on the quest was described as an evil politician who stole the book from the client, the fact that it was legally owned by Everlue now meant that the client wanted them, the one who took the quest to become a thief!
Watching Lucy, who had taken this quest off the quest board yet still excitedly told him to come with her without realizing what was wrong, Kira was helpless.
"Is there something wrong?" Lucy noticed that Kira's expression was weird, so she couldn't help but ask.
"...there are a lot of things that are wrong, but why did you want to take this quest?"
"Well, it was written that Everlue wanted to hire a blonde, beautiful maid!" As Lucy spoke, she put her hand on her back and lightly raised her blonde hair as she displayed a lewd pose, staring at him with a playful gaze.
"With my sexy charm, I will toy him, and you will use that chance to steal the book!"
As she told her plan, Lucy appeared proud. "What do you think? A genius idea, right?"
"....." Kira, Mirajane, and Cana.
There were many things Kira wanted to say, but he took a deep breath to calm himself as he crossed his legs, which drew a silent glance from Mirajane and Cana.
Meanwhile, Lucy was still oblivious to anything.
"Mira, can I ask you something?"
"Yes?"
"Is Fairy Tail an illegal guild?"
"..."
"...no, it's a legal guild. If you want, I can get you the certificate from the Magic Council. Do you want to see it?"
"No, it's fine. I believe in you."
"Why did you ask such a question?"
"No, it's just... I wonder if it's okay for a legal guild to take a job to steal something from others."
"....." Lucy, Mirajane, and Cana.
No matter what, stealing is a criminal act.
Even if Everlue had a bad and corrupt reputation, the fact that he could become a politician and even a mayor of the Shirotsume Town showed that in the eyes of the government, he was still clean.
"B-But it was written that Everlue was a corrupt and evil politician who had stolen the important book from the client! We're doing something good, and more importantly, the reward is so good!"
"....."
Kira realized that Lucy was still naive and silly.
Did this girl think that the world was all rainbows?
If there was a reason why many mages couldn't become rich, it was that many clients were dishonest and would often make false accusations to avoid paying, forcing mages to work without compensation.
Frankly, Kira could imagine that the client would tell Lucy that if she didn't want to become a criminal, the client wouldn't pay her, and... in the worst case...
"W-What's wrong?"
Facing Lucy's silly face, Kira felt an intense headache.
"Kira, how about you go with her?"
Kira was surprised and looked at Mirajane, who had said those words to him. "We made a promise before, right?"
"Promise?" 2x
Cana and Lucy looked at Mirajane and Kira alternately.
Mirajane smiled when she heard his words, then said, "We can look for a house anytime, but you should help her in this quest, so she can understand what it means to become a mage." She could tell from how naive Lucy was; Lucy must have come from a good family and was so naive about the outside world.
Lucy needed help, but who could help her?
Frankly, Mirajane wanted someone else to help Lucy, but considering how weird the mages of the Fairy Tail were, and Cana, who was the most stable, was drunk, she knew that Kira was the only one who could lead Lucy.
No, it could be said that it was better for Kira to teach Lucy since among all the people around, he was the one with the most common sense and rationality!
"Well, if that's the case." Kira nodded, thinking that it was a good experience. "Then, let's go, Lucy."
"Good!"
Whatever the reason was, Lucy clenched her fists excitedly, thinking that she got a chance to go on a quest with Kira!
But—
"By the way, are you really going to buy a house?"
As Kira and Lucy took the quest and quickly got ready to go to the client's place, Cana looked at the two, then looked at Mirajane, and asked, "Is that okay?"
"What do you mean?" Mirajane was confused.
"They might be together, you know? Are you okay with that? You have an interest in him, right?" Cana asked curiously, wondering how Mirajane would lead Kira to go with Lucy. Many might think that Mirajane was gentle and feminine, yet as someone who grew up together, Cana knew the real Mirajane well.
Only, Mirajane smiled, which showed her confidence, especially when she saw how silly Lucy was.
Lucy might be pretty cute, and her boobs were huge, but Mirajane could see that what Kira sought from a partner was more than that and she could see he wasn't a shallow person who would go to anyone just because they were beautiful.
Cana was the best example; this girl was beautiful, yet with her drunkard habit, Kira didn't even want to get close to her.
"I can tell that you're thinking rude things about me." Cana glared at Mirajane, who only smiled. "What are you talking about? I don't have such a thought at all."
Yet, Mirajane's laugh was so obvious which Cana wanted clench her fist, then said, "Yes, he might be different from those scumbags on the guild, but..."
"..." All the men on the Fairy Tail.
"He is still a man." Cana then smirked and asked, "If Lucy is serious and goes all out to seduce him, do you think a beast like guy like Kira can refuse her?"
"..."
Probably because Kira had always appeared gentle, they forgot about his beastly side. It was just a short moment when he became a gigantic werewolf.
If Lucy somehow dressed up like a plump, delicious sheep, then could a hungry wolf like Kira hold on?
"...."
"Kira, wait for a moment!"
As Mirajane tried her best to search for Kira, Cana smirked, thinking that the guild would become even fun.
"By the way, Cana, Kira hadn't given me money for all of the alcohol that you drank, so you had to pay them yourselves."
Leaving those words, Mirajane left Cana, whose lips twitched uncontrollably as she wondered whether she had to take all of her savings to pay for all of the alcohol that she drank.
