The magic merchant who mingled with Fairy Tail

Just when this topic was about to end, a voice suddenly sounded behind several people.

"You don't have to wait until later, I can promise you on their behalf now!"

Everyone was surprised when they heard the sound. When they looked back, they saw Kira walking slowly, dusting himself off, with a "seemingly interesting" expression on his face.

"Kira?!" Jellal looked at Kira blankly, not knowing the reason why he did this.

To Kira, that kind of expression meant "I'm ready to fight to the death, why would your Majesty surrender first?"

"Is your fight over?"

"Yeah, all the orcs ran away in the middle of the fight. I was still wondering. It turned out that you were the one who took care of that guy." Kira glanced at the finance minister who fell to the ground. "Although it felt like his head was being robbed, anyway, The other party is not a difficult character, so I won’t argue with you this time..."

"Let's talk about the royal troops?"

Half an hour later, several people took Kira's magic airship and set foot on the road back to the Kingdom of Fiore, leaving behind a ruins, broken mechanical soldiers, bewildered orcs, and the unconscious finance minister.

The black magic book was unceremoniously taken away by Kira. As for the transformed orcs, he could do nothing and simply ignored them. It was not his fault anyway.

On the airship, Princess Jade still looked in the direction of departure with doubts: "Is it okay for us to leave like this?"

Kira knew that she was worried about the finance minister, and replied: "Don't worry! If the Black Magic Book is taken away by me, the finance minister will no longer be able to use the power above, and the power to control the orcs will also be greatly reduced. After that, even if If he is not counterattacked by the orc army, he will be liquidated by his king brother!"

"Liquidation?"

"You don't think that the king doesn't know that the finance minister wants to rebel, do you?" Kira glanced at the princess, "The robot soldiers that appeared there belong to the king. In other words, from the beginning, the other party's power-stealing scheme The country’s plan has been exposed to the king’s eyes. Maybe he is collecting the body of his brother in that orc town now!”

…

In the orc town, the finance minister struggled to open his eyes, and what he saw was a most familiar face.

"You...why are you here?"

"Ask me why I am here? Even now, you can still hear such a question, my stupid brother!"

His brother, the King of Bosque Country, was surrounded by a group of machine soldiers. He looked down at him with a pair of cold eyes, "Everything has indeed developed according to my plan. You have failed!"

"you……?!"

"What's wrong? Are you surprised? Do you think that I will not notice your attempt to usurp the throne? You know, the entire palace is monitored by my machines, and even here there are my machine soldiers. In other words , your every move has long been under my control!"

"What did you say?!"

"Now that the matter is over, I will tell you with great mercy!" At this time, the king, like a real villain, appeared in the last scene and showed off his plan to his chess pieces, "From the beginning, I never I plan to invade the outside world, and the purpose of doing so is just to attract the magicians of Fiore to enter, and use them to gain power to help me get rid of you."

"Although the characters sent by the other party were somewhat beyond my expectations, the whole plan still developed smoothly. I think maybe even the princess and the two 'Holy Ten' might not have noticed this."

The finance minister looked horrified: "You are not afraid of those who rashly introduced people to the Kingdom of Fiore, including two 'Holy Ten'..."

The king interrupted him again: "Why should I be afraid? This matter was planned by me and the king of Fiore! From now on, my throne will be safe and the peace between the two countries will continue."

"...So, including the matter of the intelligent orcs..."

"Yes, I already knew it!"

"Why?!" the Finance Minister roared unwillingly, "Since you have known about the existence of intelligent orcs for a long time, why did you give up on them and choose machine soldiers?!"

"Because that is black magic! The people you capture and transform are the people of my kingdom!"

"Hahaha... After relying on them to win the throne, when did you become so kind and soft-hearted?"

"From the moment I ascend the throne."

…

On the airship, after listening to Kira's speculation, Jade was silent and seemed to have some realization - IQ +1+1...

From Kira's point of view, this mission dungeon ended a little hastily, but her commission was only to protect the Emerald Princess and to explore the reasons for the changes in the kingdom. The coup was none of her business. Whoever wins in the end is up to her. The impact is not big. Even if a national war starts, it will be a headache for the Fiore royal family.

"Let's not talk about them anymore. Now let's talk about Jellal and the others' cleansing... Oh, it should be said that they are exempted from guilt! There is one thing I want to ask first. Do you have to become a royal troop to be exempted from guilt?"

"Eh??" Jade was stunned.

Kira smiled warmly and rubbed her hands while smiling: "That is to say, is there a possibility that you can directly forgive their sins?"

Anyone with a normal IQ can understand what Kira means: He wants to get the get-out-of-jail free card for free!

This sentence immediately stopped Jade. She had never seen someone who took advantage directly on his face like Kira, but the good training she had received since childhood made her resist the desire to complain. So I thought about it and said what I said before again.

Seeing that there was no change in what the other party said, Kira understood what she meant: No! Either become a member of the royal family and I will exonerate them; or I can record the kindness and reward them later.

"Hey~ I understand!" Kira sighed helplessly, turned to Jellal and others and asked, "What do you mean?"

Several people looked at each other and replied half sincerely, "We listen to you!"

"Really? Let's go!" Kira clapped his hands and made the decision for them, "You can be exempted from guilt and have official meals in the kingdom. No matter how you look at it, it's better than following a boss like me who doesn't know how to do business. More!"

"Eh??!!" After hearing Kira's decision, everyone was silent at the same time.

After a moment, Eric suddenly shouted dissatisfied: "What are you talking about? Kira!! You said you would lead us to real freedom, and now you want to just let it go?"

"Ah? Are you so reluctant to let go of me, boss? I didn't know I was so prestigious in your hearts!"

"Don't be ridiculous, Kira! Eric is right. Even if we don't think you can really expand your business to a scale that spans three continents, from the beginning to the end, we have never thought about leaving the organization."

Kira murmured in a low voice: "Well... although I think I should be more moved at this time, I have to admit that it's a bit heartbreaking..."

"Listen to me!" Urrutia rolled his eyes, "Although this organization has only been established for a few months, and you have not fulfilled many of the responsibilities of a leader, we have indeed lived a very free life during this time. , also very fulfilling. Do you really want to abandon this team?"

"Freedom and fulfillment... This is the first time I've heard someone speak so seriously about indulgence in eating, drinking, playing, and having fun. I think you're fat... Hey! Put down the crystal ball! Don't do anything. Let's talk to each other!"

"You're such a bastard! Can you still talk properly? Melty, don't pull me, let me beat him to death!" Halfway through Kira's words, Urrutia rolled up his sleeves and started to take action.

"Urutiya, calm down! Calm down!"

"Well done, Melty! ...Ahem, the boss declared the company bankrupt and resold before the three-month trial period ended, which is not easy for anyone. I can understand everyone's feelings because I have experienced it myself. Live like this!”

Kira began her affectionate speech, "But this time the situation is different. I am thinking about everyone's future. As a friend, I can't hinder you from heading for a better future, right?"

Korano let out a "poof" and said: "It sounds like a ruthless scumbag! Right, Melty?"

Melty was stunned for a moment, then lowered her head with a red face: "Huh? Well... this... is..."

"Wait a minute!! What are you talking to a child?! Melty, forget what you just said! That's a devil's curse, an evil curse that makes people wet the bed at night!! Forget it!!"

Amid the noise, Jellal walked up to Kira and said seriously: "Kira, for those of us who have lived in darkness for the first half of our lives, freedom is the most important thing in the future! And fighting against Zeref and the forces of darkness are secondary goals in life to freedom!”

"I know you're doing it for our own good, but that's actually putting the cart before the horse."
