Chapter 286: Clue
Kira walked into the guild tavern as usual.
The number of people in the tavern was sparse, only about one-third of the usual number.
Except for a few common drinking buddies who are still sitting in their old place drinking and bragging, most people have gone out to work. The remaining new members who don't know what is about to happen, and the "players" who have cleared the level long ago are still in the pub.
Chic inside.
Mira in front of the bar greeted her with a smile: "You're here? Kira!"
"Yes!" Kira waved his hand in return, walked to the bar and asked, "There are so few people today, has everyone done the task?"
Mira nodded while wiping the glass: "Yeah! After all, that day is coming!"
"It's the annual work frenzy again! These lazy guys, they will be so active only at the end of the year." Kira complained, but then stopped talking and turned to look at the guild.
Task board, "Well... among the entire guild, only Nobu has remained unchanged!"
Norbu was like a fat black man who came out of an ancient tribe. He stood there quietly, hesitating and hesitating. He could vaguely hear his mouth muttering to himself: "This won't work... This won't work..."
Following Kira's gaze, Mira smiled brightly and brightly: "Hehehe... That's it!"
Kira ordered a glass of juice and glanced at another part of the pub. Two familiar middle-aged figures were still drinking and chatting happily.
"Are these two uncles Macao and Wakaba completely ruined?"
"Maybe I feel that I can't compare with young people."
Kira turned her attention to other parts of the guild: Wendy, Lisanna, and Wendy were sitting with their favorite Xia Lulu, talking with a bright smile on their faces; and Erza was chatting with the new member.
The Transcendents competed with each other with swords, and the two fought vigorously, while Gajeel cheered and showed off everywhere.
At this time, footsteps sounded, and then a familiar blond girl slowly approached.
It's Lucy!
Kira looked back for a moment and asked: "Lucy? You didn't go to work?"
"Well...because..."
She was about to explain something when she was interrupted by Kira: "This is not possible! If you don't work, you will face a severe food and accommodation crisis! And of course there is a debt crisis!"
"I know!" Lucy pouted and said angrily, "Really, you say these annoying things as soon as we meet! I am also working very hard! It's just that the situation is a bit special recently...
"
Gu...
Kira drank the juice in one gulp, turned around and asked, "Speaking of which, Lucy! How are you using those protoss keys? How is your relationship with the protoss?"
"Uh... That's great! Why do you ask this?" Lucy sat next to Kira and was interrupted by Kira's sudden words. She forgot her original purpose for a moment.
Kira replied: "You should be the first Celestial Mage to collect the thirteen keys of the zodiac in the past hundred years! I have made more contributions to this matter than you.
!Can’t you just show some concern?”
"Okay...ok..."
"So, can you now open two doors at the same time with your own magic power?"
Lucy scratched her cheek in embarrassment: "Um... well... let's just do it..."
Suddenly, she seemed to have thought of something, her tone changed, and she said, "Ah! I came here today because I wanted to ask Mirasan something. You happen to be here, so maybe you know about it too!"
It turned out that just last night, Kana was drunk and broke into Lucy's house smelling of alcohol, saying that she was considering quitting the guild.
Lucy looked at the two of them anxiously: "That's what she said!! And she didn't want to say why!!"
However, Mira seemed to have known it for a long time, and calmly put away the glass that Kira had just put down, and said: "It's okay, Kana always says that lately!"
Lucy was dumbfounded for a moment: "Ah?! Isn't it right? No matter how you think about it, this is not a 'not serious problem', right? Don't you all care about it? What on earth is going on with Kana?!"
"It's just a child having a tantrum. It'll be fine in two days!" Kira comforted her, "You know, just like a girl will be unwell for a few fixed days every month. As soon as Kana arrives at a certain time,
She will also be inexplicably depressed during this period of time! Don’t worry, she will be lively again after a while..."
"Don't say this in front of a girl easily! Kira!"
Kira pointed at the black energy gradually rising on Mira's body, turned to Lucy and said, "Look! Mira can do this too..."
Bang!
There was a crisp sound, the glass was crushed to pieces, and the residue fell to the ground.
"Ah! Are you okay?!" Kira stood up in a hurry, looking eagerly at the torn corpse of the cup lying quietly on the bar, and sighed heavily, "Hey! It's too late! Poor, weak and helpless
The cup has completely left this world."
Kira sat back down and hammered the bar with a "thud" sound, causing the debris on the bar to jump lightly due to the force of the vibration.
"Damn it! It obviously works so hard to serve humans, even sacrificing its own clean and pure body, just to relieve the temporary thirst of the guests. It didn't expect to die in such a place. It's so pitiful! It's all because of me.
Protect it! I'm still... too weak!"
Lucy was speechless as she looked at Kira, who instantly entered a state of drama, looking like a psycho: "Hey, hey... that's almost enough! It feels like something's getting more and more wrong the more you act!"
"Ignore him!"
Mira cleaned up the glass shards and said to Lucy in a ruthless and cold voice, "Kira is like this. As long as no one watches him act, he will never act again!"
"Haha..." Lucy laughed twice, and then asked, "Mira-san, do you feel that everyone is acting weird recently?"
The smile on Mira's face remained unabated, but she said nonchalantly: "Ah?! No! Kira has always been like this, I thought you should be familiar with it!"
"No...that's obviously not what I want to say..."
boom!
Just when Lucy was about to say something, the door of the guild suddenly opened, and a group of people poured in.
"Work...work..."
Natsu took the lead, followed closely by Habi. The two of them delivered the task as quickly as possible, received the task, and disappeared again in less than a minute, even ignoring Lucy's call.
Then came Gray, Elfman, Gun and Bullet Combination, Wheel Squad...
Three minutes later, the guild tavern returned to calm, and all the people who had poured in before ran away without a trace.
Lucy was confused by this sight: 'Is this the same guild I'm familiar with that only loves fighting every day? Something is really wrong with everyone!'
“I really don’t know why some people are busy catching up on work, while others are just as usual. It’s really confusing!”
Lucy said depressedly. The people she said were the same as usual were obviously referring to the masters who had cleared the level, the old people who were messing around, and the new members like her.
"You'll know tomorrow!"
Mira pretended to be mysterious, but Kira didn't want to cooperate. What he didn't like most was to watch others become the Riddler!
There can only be one person who can solve the mystery, and that's Kira!
As long as other people present a mystery in front of him, he will reveal it without hesitation!
"Actually...the guild is about to conduct an S-level assessment!"
"S-level assessment?!"
Lucy raised her voice by eighty decibels and blasted through the guild, attracting everyone's attention. They stopped their movements and conversations and stared at Lucy blankly.
But Lucy didn't blush at all, and instead continued to yell: "Is the guild going to take the S-level assessment? I didn't even know! No wonder Natsu and the others have been working so hard recently!"
Chapter completed!
