Chapter 526 The Card Player Loses All His Integrity, Chesmira and Erza
Chess's house.
After a thorough cleaning, the house, which had been vacant for more than two years, was transformed.
Looking around, the clean and tidy living room shines brightly under the magic lamp, and even the corners that are not visible are spotless!
"Phew, that was tough, but it's finally done—"
Chase slumped onto the sofa, looking more exhausted than if he had just fought a battle.
He was naturally very good at destroying and demolishing houses, but cleaning was a real ordeal for him. His enormous magical power was practically useless, and even with Mira and Erza's help, he was still exhausted.
"Oh dear, it seems I've accidentally discovered Chase's weakness~" Mira, sitting to the side, covered her mouth and chuckled.
"Chess, you can't do this."
Erza, on the other hand, looked serious and immediately switched to lecturing mode, "As an S-rank mage of the guild, if you can't even keep your own house clean, people will laugh at you!"
"A true S-class mage should be impeccable in every aspect, setting a good example for the other members—"
"Isn't it because I have two dear girlfriends helping me?" Chase said with a smile, scratching his head.
Erza's lecturing mode is absolutely comparable to Lucy's吐槽 (tu cao, meaning to roast or criticize) mode; once activated, they enter a state of complete absorption.
"My darling?" Erza's spellcasting was abruptly interrupted, and her beautiful face instantly turned red.
However, having developed some resilience in relationships, she was no longer as flustered as before. Instead, she clenched her fists with high spirits: "Well, since you've said that, then from now on, we'll take care of all the house cleaning!"
"Remove the 'door' from my name. Although I don't mind helping Chase clean up, you can't speak for me," Mira immediately retorted.
"Oh? Shouldn't you be grateful that I included you? Shameless, lewd woman." Erza glanced sideways.
"Oh my, it seems you were observing very closely just now. A rare species that can have its brain short-circuited just from a kiss." Mira returned the same assertive gaze.
"You bastard, planning a post-cleaning brawl, huh?!"
"Come on then, I'm not afraid of you!"
Okay, following terms like "stubborn and rigid woman," "navel-revealing woman," and "female beast," these arch-enemies have acquired a new affectionate nickname for each other.
The costume-changing and receiving arrays lit up simultaneously, and as the tension in the room rapidly escalated, Chess hurriedly served the two women steaming cups of tea, acting as a peacemaker: "Ahem, have some tea first."
Whether it's Erza, who is serious (and rigid) but full of girlish charm, or Mira, who is gentle yet has a touch of cunning, they are undoubtedly a perfect couple. However, if we talk about both of them at the same time, the situation is completely different.
Putting aside other factors, first and foremost, one must be able to withstand the terrifying aura unleashed when two S-class mages clash head-on!
This is naturally not a difficult task for Chase, but if they really start fighting here, the house that she has worked so hard to clean will probably be destroyed on the spot.
Upon hearing this, Erza and Mira, who had been passionately arguing just a second ago, simultaneously turned their heads and pointed at each other: "Chase, do you think she's a 'Lip Woman' (a rare species)?" *2
Chase: "————"
Faced with this seemingly hopeless situation, the shrewd card player silently took a sip of tea and said nonchalantly, "Speaking of which, Lucy's family across the river has been making quite a commotion since just now."
"If I'm not mistaken, that faintly oppressive magic—is it Bahamut?" Mira was the first to suppress her aura and glanced in the direction of Lucy's house.
She knew, of course, that Chase was trying to change the subject, but she chose to play along anyway.
After all, at least for tonight, I really have no intention of competing with Erza.
Erza shared the same sentiment, sitting back down and picking up her tea: "There's just no way to deal with that idiot. He said that since you're Ignir's defeated foe, he'd leave me your lodgings," but it turned out to be Lucy's house.
"It's probably not that simple. That idiot probably wants to take this opportunity to let Little Ba experience the guild atmosphere, and at the same time let Lucy get to know him, since Pluto Dragon is powerful enough," Chase analyzed seriously.
Don't let Natsu's usual silly demeanor fool you; he's actually quite shrewd.
If Lucy becomes friends with Little Bus, then her safety will basically be no longer a concern.
—That guy Natsu?
Erza and Mira instinctively thought that they were overthinking it, but then they realized that it was indeed possible.
In the past, in order to make Lucy happy, he even conspired with Happy to dig up the entire cherry blossom tree!
"Natsu really likes Lucy, huh?" Erza said with a smile.
"After all, they're all married by now."
Just as she was pondering this, Mira's eyes suddenly lit up. "By the way, Chase, Wendy told me that you, from Edolas, are a coward?"
Although I already knew a little about it before, it was obviously more interesting to discuss it in front of Chase.
So she had actually planned to "tease" Chase like this on her way home, but she refrained from asking because Erza seemed a little off.
"Sigh, don't even mention it. That guy doesn't deserve my handsome face at all." Thinking of Edchas's cowardly appearance, Chas blushed and couldn't help but sigh.
"In a way, Edchez is a lot like our Lucy. She's usually afraid of this and that and makes a fuss over nothing, but she'll still step up when something's wrong."
Erza, who had met Edches, thought for a moment and added, "Well, except for not having the ability to make sarcastic remarks."
"Haha, I'd really like to meet him sometime, and then transform into a demon, Satan, and scare him so much that he hides in a corner trembling with fear."
The mischievous Mira suddenly felt playful, her big, bright eyes looking at Chase with anticipation. "How about we simulate it right now, Chase?"
Chess: "————" Don't you think your boyfriend has any shame?!
"Huh?! Please, please don't do that! Demons, demons and stuff like that sound so scary!"
The next second, he seemed to be frightened, curling up on the sofa with a look of terror on his face, his movements and expressions quite exaggerated.
It's not like I'm meeting my boss, why should I care about saving face in front of my girlfriends?
"Wow, what amazing acting!" Erza exclaimed, almost mistaking Chase for being possessed by Ed Chase.
Mira laughed even harder: "Oh dear, it seems there's no need to make a special trip to Edolas after all~"
The conversation started, and the atmosphere became more relaxed.
The three started talking about Fairy Tail's tail in Edolas, and then moved on to the changes in their guildmates over the past two and a half years, comparing them to the future world.
As dusk fell, the tea's color faded from dark to light, and there was no further movement from Lucy's house across the street (the three Natsu brothers had been kicked out).
As a man, Chase felt it was time to get down to business for the night.
"It's so late, why don't you stay here and sleep tonight?"
From the time we established our relationship until now, it hasn't been a long time, but it hasn't been short either; it's just that the things that have happened in between have been incredibly fast-paced.
The Heart of the Devil, S-Rank Assessment, The Descent of the Five Gods of the Black Dragon, The Great Magic Games, The Dragon King Festival —
And to be honest, because he knew the plot development and what powerful enemies he would face later, Chase was not confident that he could protect Mira and Erza.
But now, he is capable of taking on this responsibility!
Not to mention just now, Erza showed a sad and uneasy expression after hearing that Edchas and Edmilla had a child!
Perhaps because they had talked too much about topics like marriage and children, Mira and Erza were both startled when Chase said this, and almost reflexively jumped up on the spot.
"Uh, uh, uh, uh, I... I... I'm going back to take a shower first." Erza panicked and took incredibly stiff steps like a robot.
"Me too!" Even Mira, who is usually very calm, blushed and stammered as she spoke.
However, they "escaped" in completely opposite directions: Mira headed towards the door, while Erza headed towards the first-floor bathroom.
"That despicable, scheming woman!" Mira cursed inwardly, then gritted her teeth and turned around.
This is a real misunderstanding of Erza. In reality, her heart was pounding in her chest, her mind was blank, and she couldn't tell which way was which.
It wasn't until she stood in front of the bathroom door that the Fairy Queen suddenly realized what was happening and hurriedly turned around in fright.
Then----
The two panicked individuals collided head-on, but because there was a wide buffer zone in front of them, they didn't make a sound of their heads hitting each other.
How adorable, my two girlfriends.
After a moment of reflection, Chase slowly stood up and walked over, shamelessly saying, "The bathroom at home is quite big, and I'm all sweaty, so how about—"
"Together?"
"Don't even think about it, you pervert!!!" *2
The scene changes.
Chase sat alone in the living room, two large bumps on his forehead, looking like a peculiar, outspoken fellow.
The clear sound of running water came from the direction of the bathroom, echoing in the quiet living room.
Whether they were afraid of being "beaten to it" or had already "realized" their intentions when they offered to help with the cleaning, Mira and Erza did not actually leave. Instead, they followed Chase's suggestion and went into the bathroom together.
In this situation, it would be unbearable for either of them to stay alone with Chase!
Splash, splash.
In the faint sound of flowing water, one could also hear the whispering conversation of young girls.
With Chase's current hearing, catching the content wouldn't be difficult at all, but doing so would really be a bit "impolite".
The.
With no other option, I made myself some tea to distract myself and try not to fantasize about what was happening in the bathroom.
Soon, the sound of flowing water stopped abruptly.
After a long silence, the bathroom door was slowly pushed open, and steaming white mist drifted out like a thin veil.
Mira stepped out first, her long, white hair, glistening with tiny water droplets, cascading wetly over her shoulders and shimmering under the indoor lights.
Erza followed closely behind, her skin, moistened by the hot water, glowing with a faint pink hue, which made her equally flowing crimson hair appear even more vibrant.
Without stylish magic clothes or sturdy armor, their faces flushed, they wore matching white bathrobes. The simple fabric couldn't conceal their slightly upturned necklines, delicate collarbones, and long, fair legs, perfectly showcasing the ultimate beauty after their bath.
Having been in the guild for a long time, Chase considered himself to have strong self-control, but the scene before him still made him lose his composure.
In short, it is —
The card player has completely lost his integrity.
"I...we're done." Mira's eyes darted away, her voice barely audible.
As for Erza, her brain had already shut down the moment Chase looked at her.
"Then it's my turn." Chase didn't dare to watch any longer and rushed into the bathroom.
Mira and Erza only breathed a sigh of relief when the bathroom door was closed.
But the next second, their nerves were on edge again.
Chess's voice came from behind the door: "Don't even think about running away, I've buried a card in the living room."
Before Mira and Erza could react, a "buzz" sounded and a card magic circle suddenly lit up beneath their feet.
Golden rays traced a six-pointed star on the floor, forming the trap card "Six-Pointed Star Curse," which restricts movement!
"What an idiot, doesn't he know we've already made up our minds?!" Erza returned to normal, tugging at the corner of her bathrobe and muttering under her breath.
"He really is an idiot. He said such domineering things, but he still left us a choice." Mira shook her head with a smile, also seeing the flaw in the magic.
After saying that, she squatted down and gently touched the six-pointed star magic circle on the ground with her fair finger.
Click.
The magic array shattered immediately like glass, and golden light scattered and dissipated.
The scene then shifts to the master bedroom of the house.
After taking a bath, Chess, who was at his most handsome during the day, lay on the large bed with Mira and Erza, the quiet atmosphere revealing a strange harmony.
"I----"
As soon as Chess spoke, Mira and Erza were so frightened that they jumped up and hid in the corner of the room at lightning speed.
-
"According to what we agreed on in the bathroom, Erza, you go first, I'll learn from the side." Mira kept pushing Erza forward.
Although she acts like she knows everything in the guild, especially in front of Lucy, she's completely lost when it comes to this task herself, feeling even more nervous than when she took the S-rank exam back then.
"I...I...I...I...maybe you go first—" Erza panicked even more, shaking her head and trying to back away.
Chase: I haven't said anything yet!
Meanwhile, in the card space, at the Black Magician's Castle.
The card sprites sat in a row, all staring intently at the large visual projection screen in front of them.
Needless to say, the Dark Magician Girl and the Dragon Slayer Swordsman, who love watching the excitement, were among them. Even the usually aloof and arrogant Silent Mage and Chaos Swordsman were included, their eyes filled with unwavering focus!
As for the Dark Magician—
Yes, he's the one who came up with this visual projection screen thing!
Suddenly, a fierce wind raged around them, and amidst the crimson light, the face of the destructive dragon Gandora squeezed in: "Damn, something happened that held me up a bit. I'm not late, am I?"
Outside the castle, the sky, filled with a sacred aura, split open with two slits, and Osiris and Obelisk quietly cast their gazes down.
Unfortunately, at one point, the visual sharing screen suddenly disconnected, displaying a lot of static.
As the absolute ruler of the card space, Chase completely blocked all perception, making it difficult even for a god to see through him.
Next up are the paid features.
Ignoring the card sprites' abruptly stopped wailing, Chess slowly walked up to the hesitant Erza: "So, it's decided, Erza, you go first?"
"Mmm————" Erza buried her head deep into her chest.
Influenced by what happened to Edolas, she was ultimately more courageous than Mira in taking that step forward.
The atmosphere has already reached this point; saying anything more would seem rather insensitive.
Chase reached out and lifted Erza's delicate, flawless chin, forcing the Fairy Queen's loving eyes to look at him. Then he leaned down slightly and kissed her hot, red lips.
This time, it wasn't just a fleeting visit on the way home.
After a brief freeze, Erza reached out and hugged Chess's shoulders tightly, responding with even more fervent desire.
