The magic merchant who mingled with Fairy Tail

"How's it going, Natsu? Do you smell the devil's scent?"

When faced with multiple paths and not knowing which way to go, it was Natsu's turn to use his nose.

Natsu sniffed in front of each passage and came back with a suggestion: "It seems that every passage has the smell of demons. Why don't we go separately?"

"Let's go separately? It's not impossible..." Erza lowered her head and pondered about their respective combat strengths and possible situations.

"Yoshi! Happy, let's go!"

"Why!"

Before Erza could give the order, Natsu led Habi into the middle passage.

"Natsu! Wait...really, this guy always acts before he hears it!"

"Forget it, it's not the first day you've met him. He has this kind of character. The guild really needs such a reckless person to appear energetic!"

Hot-blooded teenagers are always happy no matter where they are. You may get angry when you get along with them, but you will never feel resentful.

"Gray, please go with Natsu!"

Erza's idea is very simple. There are three roads. There are four people here, and one of them must be taken by two people.

In terms of strength, Natsu and Gray are relatively weak and would not have the upper hand when meeting a demon that can transform into elements alone, so it is best to go together; while she and Kira are stronger and have a better chance of winning when meeting a demon alone. If it's big, just walk one way.

"I know!" Gray also knew that the two people in front of him didn't need to worry, so he quickly agreed and turned around to chase after Natsu's entrance.

"Then, the enemies in the other passage will be left to you!"

"Don't worry, leave it to me!"

After saying hello, Erza turned and walked towards the passage on the left, leaving Kira standing still.

One second...two seconds...

"Okay, okay, let's start taking action and move all the things here hahaha..."

After everyone left, Kira finally showed his true form, gearing up, then took out a backpack from his body and kept putting the gem crystals on the wall into it.

"One, two..."

The backpack didn't look big, but it could hold it very well. Kira took it apart for ten minutes but it still didn't fill it up. Instead, it still looked deflated.

This is of course, because this backpack has been imbued with space transmission magic, and the other end is connected to the underground treasure house of Kira's house. It can be regarded as a portable treasure house.

Of course, no one except himself can activate the magic of space transmission, and it can only be used as an ordinary backpack.

"What are you doing?"

The sudden crisp sound echoed in the hollow, almost frightening the porter who was working half to death.

At some point, the girl Winter quietly followed them. At this time, she was looking at Kira's face with confusion.

"Uh... I'm using my labor to create wealth!"

Kira still felt a little embarrassed when a little girl saw her like this, but it was good to make money, so it wasn't shabby!

"You said yesterday that adults all have special hobbies. Is this what you meant?"

Although his family ran a tavern, Winter was still young and had been living in a snowy mountain where no birds came, so he had no idea about money. He didn't quite understand Kira's behavior, but he just thought he had a hobby of collecting things.

Ah, what's your hobby? Did I say something in front of her yesterday?

By the way, this little girl would actually say such simple words. Doesn’t her character fall apart? I always thought she was a very mature person...

Kira decided not to worry about these things and asked directly: "Why are you here?"

After returning to the normal topic, Winter obviously returned to his original tone: "It is the responsibility of the Isisnew family to deal with demons. I don't want to rely entirely on you, I also want to fight together!"

Huh! Your ideological consciousness is so high at such a young age!

"It's very dangerous!" Kira squatted down and looked at her levelly. "You haven't inherited the magic of destroying demons. You will be at a disadvantage against those who have lived for tens or hundreds of years!"

"I have received the power of a demon. Even if I can't help much, I won't be a burden!" The girl's attitude was very firm. "The day my father died, I promised him that even if I didn't inherit the magic, I could still do it." Take the responsibility of the Isisnew clan!”

Kira stood up, continued the moving work in her hands, and asked without looking back: "Is this your father's request before he died, or is it your own attitude?"

Winter didn't know what Kira wanted to say, so he just answered truthfully: "It's what I want to do!"

"That's it..." Kira thought for a moment and then asked, "But maybe your father doesn't want you to inherit these responsibilities at all?"

"I know! Because the ice demon-destroying magic can only be inherited if you voluntarily do so!"

What? And this thing?

Kira turned back in surprise: "So..."

"Yes, this is a secret that only those who accept the inheritance can know. Even my uncle doesn't know." Winter said the secret that he had never mentioned to others. "At the beginning, the magic of the Isisnew family was not What was taken away was what my father gave to him voluntarily!”

"No wonder you don't have much hostility towards the person who took away the magic. Then your father's death..."

"When I was very young, my father said that those who hunt demons will eventually be devoured by demons. I didn't understand it at the time, but later I found out that most of his consciousness had been devoured by the power of demons!"

Winter told Kira his story word for word, while Kira ate in silence.

In the snow, two figures, one large and one small, stood.

"Father, why is your body like this?"

"Those who hunt demons will eventually be devoured by demons. Is this what it means..."

The man looked at most of his dark body, squatted down and said to his daughter, "Winter, this is a responsibility that our family must bear. If possible, I hope you will never have to accept this power."

…

In the small shop, two men sat opposite each other.

"You said you want this magic? This is the power that can swallow up people's will!"

"I need to use it to deal with more powerful demons, please lend it to me! I will return this power to your daughter before I die!"

"No...it would be best if you are willing to accept it! Although the elders of the clan have always said that it was used to protect against a powerful demon, no one has seen it for a long time. Instead, many clan members died because of this magic.

It's better to spread the magic like this, at least it can have its intended effect. From now on, you don’t have to deliberately return the magic to my daughter, you just need to find a suitable person to pass it on to! "

"Grateful!"

Out of sight of them, Winter silently listened to the conversation between the two.

…

On the snowy mountain, demons and wolves surrounded the father and daughter.

"Damn it... I didn't expect that I would encounter the legendary devil as soon as I taught the magic. What a bad luck!"

"Father!"

The man died, and at the critical moment, the man who was taught magic came to support...

"Are you...the legendary demons? Go to hell!"

…

In front of the tomb, men and maidens kneel and worship.

"I'm sorry, I didn't expect this to happen because of my arrival!"

"My father spread the magic because of me. It's not your fault! I will prove to my father that even without this magic, I can still live well! I can still shoulder the responsibilities of the Isisnew clan! "

…

In the cave, Winter unfolded his memories and told Kira about his past.

"The Ice Demon-Destroying Technique appears to be the glory of the Isisnew clan. In fact, only those who inherit it know that this is not a glory at all, but a power that will put us in danger.

In order to prevent me from being swallowed by the power of the devil, and to prevent me from taking on the responsibilities of the clan, my father passed on the magic to the man who came here by chance, hoping to end the nightmare of the Isisnew clan!

Unexpectedly, I was attacked by a water demon after that. Although the man later helped my father take revenge, I still wanted to end with my own hands these demons that had cursed the Isisnew clan for hundreds of years! "

It's interesting, I didn't expect it to unfold like this...

Kira ate the snacks she had brought with her while listening to Winter's memories.

"So, in order for my father to rest in peace, and for future generations not to have to shoulder the same responsibility, I want to personally solve the culprit that has dragged down the Isisnew family for hundreds of years!"

"I understand your determination!" Kira wiped her hands and said, "But, you may die!"

"I'm not afraid!"

Kira chuckled: "But I'm afraid!"
