Chapter 1367?-(?˙ー˙?) Lucy of the Qiao Family

'...'

It was already evening, and Lucy was walking silently on the sunset trail with her shoulder bag on her shoulders.

At this moment, she just lowered her head, walked on the road lonely, and walked forward step by step without rushing.

She's not in a good mood right now.

Just now, she was talking to her own father in the study, and the Lord Judd Hatfilia who wanted to marry her to a guy she had never met for his own self-interest, for the so-called family interest Showdown and total slump, and it's the kind that's hard to fix.

If……

If she ran away secretly from home before, then this time, she will 'abandon her home' and run away blatantly, and she may not even know when she will come back in the future.

Because, in this family, there is no such thing that makes her nostalgic...

What she wanted was never money or beautiful clothes, nor was it the so-called wealthy marriage that the other party arranged for her. She exists as Lucy, and she can be regarded as a companion and a place for family.

And such a place, the kind of place where she realizes her life value and makes herself no longer a dispensable puppet and a 'tool man', she has actually found it, and she is about to return there .

'You see? '

'Isn't she over there? People have said that she will be fine, but you still have to drag her to look for it, really...'

At this time, a familiar and slightly complaining voice came from a distance.

'! ! '

This made Lucy startled.

Then, who was silently thinking about her own thoughts, she couldn't help but stop subconsciously, raised her head in astonishment, squinted her eyes, blocked the golden but still somewhat dazzling light of the setting sun with her hand, and then carefully walked towards the distant place. Take a closer look at the somewhat dazzling place.

'Hello! '

'Lucy? '

'Lucy! ! ! '

'Hi! Lucy! '

Then, voices and figures that were familiar to Lucy rushed towards her at the same time, which made her startled and warmed up suddenly.

'! ! '

'It's Annie! '

"And Natsu, Gray, Happy and Erza..."

'how come? '

Sobbing, standing in the manor of the Heartfilia family that once belonged to her and grew up, Lucy covered her mouth and smiled for the first time and shed a little crystal clear tears.

'Everyone, everyone...'

Then she wiped her eyes so fiercely, stepped hard on her feet, and rushed towards the companions in front without thinking about herself, and they just played and cheered and hugged each other warmly.

'Naz...'

'And Happy...'

'Why are you all here? '

'It's very simple! '

'Isn't everyone a little worried about you? ! '

'Happy's worried about Lucy too! '

'But……'

'Didn't I leave a letter? I knew that you guys would definitely break into my room without authorization! '

'That would make me even more worried! '

'that……'

‘Actually, it’s because of the pile of unsent letters that you wrote, Lucy. After reading it, everyone felt that they had to pay more attention to you, so they came here. '

'! ! '

'you……'

'hateful! Did you unpack the letters to Mom that I kept in the trunk? ! '

'No, not me! '

'It's Happy! '

'Eh? '

'Naz,

Didn't you take it apart first? What Hubby found was obviously those weird underwear...'

'! ! '

'Return underwear...'

'hateful! You guys, stop for me! ! '

'Ouch! '

'Don't run! ! ! '

Soon, while chatting, Natsu, who accidentally said some "unspeakable" things, and a certain careless cat, Happy, quickly became the targets of the angry Lucy. , Several people just made a noise here in public.

The laughter and cries of pain soon spread around the Heartfilia manor, and the servants and some people who were worried about Lucy's condition were attracted to look here from a distance. Come here, and show a certain look that is different from each other.

"Really..."

╮╭

"Hello!"

"Lucy! Since everyone is here and your castle still looks very luxurious, hurry up and invite everyone to go in and eat a ton, shall we?"

Seeing that those guys had finally had enough trouble, Annie hurried forward, eagerly tugging at the corner of Lucy's skirt, and motioned for her to take her to find some delicious food.

You know, she was pestered by those guys and came here overnight by train, plus she slept all the way, and missed breakfast and lunch when she got up, and now she is really hungry. Just waiting to go to Lucy's house and eat and drink for nothing before going back!

"ah?"

"this……"

My best companions have traveled thousands of miles to look for me, and they even found me directly at home. As far as reason is concerned, Lucy should entertain a good meal and arrange accommodation and other issues.

but……

"I'm sorry Annie, and everyone... How about we go out to eat, I'm afraid it's not convenient to entertain everyone at home..."

Thinking about the farce she had with her father just now, and thinking about the words she said, it was really inconvenient for her to do that kind of thing at this moment, so she could only say this with a wry smile.

"Ah? Why? Could it be that there is no food in that big house?!"

=

Annie felt a little unbelievable. Anyway, she couldn't believe that the guy who lived in such a big castle didn't even have a good cook and food!

Besides, it's not like Queen Anne has never lived in a castle like that, or a house that is bigger and more luxurious than that. She knows that there must be many large and spacious guest rooms, as well as a large restaurant. And a large group of servants and chefs, it is impossible to entertain them.

"OK!"

"Annie!"

"I'm afraid Lucy has some difficulties, so don't ask so many questions. Besides, we're not very hungry, so it's not impossible to eat outside."

Erza seemed to see that Lucy's expression was a little unnatural, and she thought that the matter with the Specter Guild was caused by the other party's father, so she hurriedly stopped speaking and wanted to drag Lucy not far away. Anne, who was walking to the castle, persuaded her, and was going to give Lucy a step down, so as not to embarrass the other party too much.

Occasionally, she noticed Lucy's abnormality with her delicate mind, and felt that before they came, something must have happened here that they didn't know about.

Gulu~!

Of course, even though she said that, her stomach betrayed her at this moment, making her 'not very hungry' speech unreasonable at all.

"But what's the point of asking?"

Annie, who just wanted to fill her stomach quickly and eat a delicious meal quickly, didn't care about Lucy's difficulties? Therefore, she still stubbornly wanted to take Lucy back, eat and drink in that big house, and stay at least a day or two.

"cough!"

"Annie..."

Elucie didn't know what to say, so she could only pretend to cough, and then kept winking at the other party.

"Why are you staring, did you get sand? They won't blow it for you!"

Although she saw Elsa's elder sister blinking at her vigorously, Annie still didn't take it seriously, she still ignored her so stubbornly, still only thought about delicious food, and left everything else to her Forgotten.

￣●)

"hateful……"

"You bastard!"

Now, even Erza, who is wise and mighty, can't do anything.

"OK!"

"It's not impossible to say..."

"actually……"

"Maybe you don't know yet? Because of that incident, my father and I had a falling out just now, and we quarreled a lot, and said that we would officially leave this house, so... I'm afraid I really have no face to continue working here. Place to stay and entertain everyone."

Lucy suddenly regretted it.

Because, she was already thinking, if she knew that these close companions of hers were coming, she would definitely endure it first, and then go to showdown with her annoying father after entertaining the companions?

If that was the case, she probably wouldn't be so embarrassed now.

"So it is!"

"Then go out to eat, anyway, we have endured for so long, we are not in a hurry to wait a little longer!"

"But Lucy, you have to pay. I really have no money at all. Even the fare to come here was paid by Erza in advance."

At this time, Natsu on the side just didn't care at all and said with a big grin.

What he said was indeed true, because he really didn't have any money... Due to the recent guild war with Specter, and the recent rebuilding of the guild resident, there were no quests or commissions for him to claim at all. And if it weren't for the nutritious working meals provided by their construction site for all working people, he might have starved himself or gone fishing like Hubby.

"I got it!!"

"Natsu, you nasty bastard!"

Lucy cursed with a smile and said bitterly, and graciously agreed.

Although, because of her falling out with her father, she never got even a hundred J in pocket money when she came home, but there was still a little surplus in her purse, which was barely enough to entertain these companions. Several of them are big eaters, and they are still okay.

"Really, eating out is better than eating in a castle?"

ε=))

Anne was a little frustrated, but after Lucy said that, she couldn't insist on it, so she could only follow behind her companions resentfully, and walked out of this 'village' step by step, intending to go to the village. Dine in that town a few miles away.

"In short!"

"I'm really sorry for causing everyone to worry so much, and to come here from such a long distance!"

"You're welcome!"

"Yeah, Lucy, we're a team, aren't we?"

"Um!"

"but……"

"If we had known that you would go back so soon, we might not have come. You don't know that the reconstruction of the resident is a huge project, and the construction site is still short of manpower recently... It seems that this time I It's also a little impatient."

"Haha! Erza, you can actually say that... ah!!"

"It hurts...it hurts!"

"Shut up Natsu!"

"!!"

"Exhibitionist, you have no place to speak here!"

"Hmph! I'm hungry now, I don't have time to fight with you..."

"you......"

"Why?"

"But having said that, the small town where your family is located, Lucy, is really big, and the rural scenery looks very nice, but it's a pity that there are no shops or restaurants. Otherwise, we wouldn't have to go so far, we wouldn't have to In the town ahead."

"yes……"

As they talked, Gray, Naz, Erza and others began to comment on this characteristic town where Lucy's manor is located.

"Eh?"

"that……"

"Did everyone misunderstand, this is not a small town, this is the courtyard of my house... Those houses are where the servants, gardeners, gardeners, aunts and their families live."

"In fact, the place up to the big mountain in front of me and the three miles outside the town is my home!"

Seeing that everyone seemed to have misunderstood something, Lucy corrected it with a smile while walking.

'...'

'...'

'...'

'...'

"Eh?"

"What's the matter with everyone?"

"Everyone?"

Lucy was a little confused, why these companions of hers suddenly became quiet.

"No!"

"It's nothing, I just suddenly feel that the sky is very blue..."

"By the way! Annie, I heard that you really seem to be a queen. Even the Magic Council doesn't dare to criticize you. Then tell me, your country...is the one you mentioned last time. Prue star area, how big is it?"

"Is it as big as our Kingdom of Fiore?"

"Also, how big is your house?"

Erza, who didn't plan to make any comments on Lucy's family, was going to tease a little guy who always called herself a queen, so as to find a little balance and comfort for herself?

"Well……"

"How big the star area is, I don't know much about it..."

Yes, the Koprulu star area now radiates and includes several parallel universes and worlds. It is really difficult to describe the specific size of the problem.

"As for my family..."

"The whole voodoo land belongs to my family, at least it is as big as tens of thousands of Lucy's houses!"

In short, Annie knows that the last time I went back, the huge steel fortress city and the retro city that was going to be built next to it all belonged to her family. Anyway, it was many times bigger than Lucy's house.

'...'

'...'

'...'

'...'

Erza, Naz, Gray and Habi the cat suddenly stopped talking, because they found that the two women who lived in the villa seemed to be older than the other, and they were definitely not like them anyway. Can the bottom DIAO fans compare?

"Ha ha!"

"Anyway, Lucy's looks like a great place."

"snort!"

"That's natural!"

"Natsu, you don't know yet, do you?"

"what do you know?"

"The ancestor of the Hatfilia family is Her Excellency Anna Heartfilia, who taught the culture and language of the first generation of dragon slayers four hundred years ago!"

"Without her, I'm afraid there wouldn't be dragon slayers like you."

"ah!"

"Really? Are the ancestors of Lucy's family really that powerful? But Erza, how do you know so many things?"

"snort!"

"It always makes sense for you to read more books. How about this, after the guild resident is repaired, if I have time, I will continue to tutor you in your homework like before?"

"!!"

"don't want!"

"Absolutely not!!"

Startled, a certain man known as the strongest fire dragon ran away in an instant.

What are you kidding, how could Natsu do such a horrible thing?

He would rather fight Gray for 300 rounds, or quarrel for a long time, and he is not willing to be the kind of Erza who can't wait to put all the contents of a whole book into his head in an hour. An innocent toy under a horrible teaching method!

"..."

"Miss Lucy, can't you really apologize to your father and invite us to your house for a good meal?"

°°

Annie didn't want to go so far to eat the food in that kind of restaurant, because there must be nothing better than the food in the castle, and she had a deep understanding of this.

"Sorry Annie..."

"I'm afraid it really won't work, because what my father did is really irritating!"

"That's terrible..."

Lucy gritted her teeth, thought about it, and finally shook her head.

"Woo~!"

"People's big meal..."

°°

Annie, who failed in persuasion, lost her face, so she sighed faintly, and finally glanced regretfully at the castle of the Heartfilia family in the distance. Knowing that she really seemed to have no chance to go in and eat and drink, she had no choice but to Dejectedly, he followed the crowd forward, planning to go to the unknown town ahead to eat something casually.
