Chapter 226, Lucy: Dad, I Miss You so Much!

"Welcome home!"

Entering the guild, I was warmly welcomed by everyone.

"We're back!"

The two parties gathered together.

Natsu was even more excited to hug whomever he saw.

Everyone was having fun for a while, and then gradually quieted down to chat.

Everit was sitting in the corner. He was not very good at expressing his emotions enthusiastically, but he was still very happy to be back in the guild. The corners of his mouth were raised and he couldn't hide his smile.

'clatter'

First the cup is put down, then the person sits down.

Everit turned to look, and there was a stunning beauty sitting next to her. She was wearing a green dress that could not hide her proud figure.

"MISS.1." Everit was confused as to why she was here.

"My name is Alice now, Alice Valliere." Alice said.

"Where did you get your last name?" Everit was speechless.

"You're going to have to change your name sooner or later." Alice said, "Do you care?"

"No." Everit shook his head.

"Then I belong to the Valliere family. Besides -" Alice said with some pride: "Now the whole world knows that my surname is Valliere."

"My family is not famous," said Everit.

Valliere is not a great family, he is just a hereditary viscount.

"No -" a voice came from the side, and then another person sat down on the other side.

It's Urrutia.

Melty was in the distance, chatting with Juvia.

Urrutia said: "For the past seven years, Emily has been doing things in the name of your Valiere family, so now the magic world knows that the Valiere family's deceptive magic is super magic, as long as the information is not too closed. , and even gave birth to two powerful Saints."

"." Everit took a sip of the drink with some distress: "I don't want to be too famous."

"There is no way." Urrutia said: "Emily has done a lot of things in the past seven years, and even the church wants to recruit her as a saint."

She explained: "Her deceptive magic can make people fall into endless sweet dreams. She also contracted with a demon Ata Ata and obtained the magic of making wishes. By combining the two magics, she only needs to construct a real Dreams make patients believe that even seriously ill and dying patients, or disabled people who have been missing limbs for many years, can be perfectly cured.”

"The church said that she was like an angel descending. Even if she does not go to the church to practice asceticism, it still hopes to give her the status of a saint."

"Emily refused. She said she wanted to be like you and only focus on one career."

"What profession?" Everit asked.

"Novelist." Tiffanya's voice came from behind, and then she placed a book on Everit's head.

Everit took it and saw a fresh picture on the cover. On it were simple drawings of Emily, Alice, Urrutia, Tiffanya, Meldy, and Miralite. Several people were walking on the grass. In the distance were the erupting volcano and the black dragon hovering above.

The title of the novel is "Emily's Adventures".

"It's really amazing." Urrutia said: "I read the book "Emily's Adventure Diary" when I was a child." She said with emotion in her voice: "In the book, the heroine is also called Emily. , brave and smart, experiencing all kinds of magical things, I envy and admire you very much.”

"But I never dared to think that I could be like her."

"but."

A smile appeared on Urrutia's face. She was at the age when a girl is the most mature but cannot be called an old girl. She had a plump figure and her facial features were much softer. The last time Everit saw her was seven years ago. She is still depressed, so her face and expression are very aggressive, but now she is as gentle as water, making people unconsciously want to get close to her - she completely interprets the charm of a big sister.

Urrutia said softly: "At an age when I shouldn't be dreaming, you masters and apprentices changed me. You let me have a dream to make up for the regrets in my life. And Emily, let me have a dream to make up for my childhood. Regretful dream.”

Everit opened the book, and Emily's writing was no longer as immature as it was seven years ago. Reading it piece by piece, the writing was both beautiful and very immersive.

"Our stories over the past few years are all written in it." Tifnia pressed Evelit's head and said, "You have a very outstanding student."

"Of course." Everit closed the book proudly.

"Master——" In the distance, Emily, who was playing with Lisanna and other girls, felt a little overwhelmed by everyone's teasing. She ran over aggrievedly and threw herself into Everit's arms.

However, Everit pulled her clothes away from her back, keeping her away from him.

"You are seventeen years old, you need to be measured."

Seventeen.

The age when Lucy joins the guild and falls in love early.

It's inappropriate to act like a spoiled child like you did when you were a child.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" Emily suddenly started to cry aggrievedly, but it was just a fake cry.

Seeing that Everit was unmoved, she curled her lips and said, "I was comparing my figure with sister Lisanna just now, and she said I'm not as good as her!"

Everit glanced at it.

Emily is very beautiful, but in the guild where there are so many beauties, she is not at the top.

Lisanna, who has long hair, already has six or seven points of charm as Mirajane. She is not said to be a peerless beauty, but standing next to Lucy and Erza, they have their own merits and are indistinguishable.

However, Everit smiled and said, "Emily is obviously the cutest."

"We're not comparing who's cute!" Emily said angrily.

"snort!"

Emily snorted: "Master, you're a straight man, I'm ignoring you!"

After saying that, she ran back to Lisanna and the others, pointed at her face and said, "This is the face of a seventeen-year-old, seventeen years old!"

She emphasized age.

Lisanna, Lucy and others suddenly became stunned.

And Urrutia and Alice here pursed their lips tightly.

Only Tiffany looked normal.

Seven years have passed and she has remained unchanged.

Because she is a long-lived elf, she doesn't need to care too much about her age.

After the banquet.

Everyone went back to their homes.

"I'm really not used to it."

said Lucy, who was walking along the river alone.

In the past few years, Natsu had been accompanying her. The two of them ate and lived together, and went together wherever they went.

Now that I'm back at the guild, I and Natsu are going to live separately.

What's the matter with some loss and reluctance?

"However, seven years have passed, and I don't know what happened to my father." Lucy said, "I have to go back."

"By the way, my house is actually still there. The landlady is so kind."

Lucy asked just now, and Emily told her that her house was still there so she could go back.

"He's back." The scary-looking landlord stood at the top of the stairs, staring directly at Lucy.

"I'm back." Lucy was afraid of her.

"Nothing happened, very good." After the landlord said that, he turned and left.

"Huh -" Lucy breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Thank you for your concern."

The landlord left without stopping.

Lucy went upstairs and opened her door.

"I'm back."

She said, knowing there would be no answer.

"Welcome back!"

"Welcome back!"

However, two men's voices suddenly answered her.

"Why?"

Lucy looked into the room and saw two people.

A blond man stood upright with a serious face.

A young man with cherry hair sat cross-legged, with a cat beside him.

It's Lucy's father Jiude, as well as Natsu and Happy!

"This" Lucy didn't understand the current situation, but then she asked the question she wanted the answer to the most: "Dad, why are you here?!"

"I heard that you were back, so I rushed over." Jiude said.

"I" Lucy looked at her father who was obviously much older. She wanted to say something, but there was a lump in her throat.

Seven years.

Even if there is a grudge, there is only strong emotion left at this time.

"Dad, I miss you so much!"

Lucy cried and threw herself on him.

Jiude hugged her shoulders. Although he could still maintain his expression, his eyes were still wet.

"It would be great to be back."

"I almost didn't see you."

Lucy didn't hear the meaning of Jiude's words at this time. She just hugged her father tightly and cried.

After crying for a long time and her eyes were swollen, she slowly stopped her voice and asked, "So, what's going on? Natsu, didn't you go home? Why are you here."

Jiude said: "After I came to Magnolia, I knew that your guild was having a banquet, so I didn't bother you, so I thought of cleaning up your room for you."

In fact, in the past seven years, Jiude would come to clean Lucy's room in person every once in a while. Naturally, he paid the rent for the house, so Lucy's room was well kept, exactly the same as it was seven years ago.

"But this boy and this cat suddenly came through the window."

He was still very impressed with Natsu.

Although Lucy has many companions in the guild, her father has a special magic that can identify the boy who makes him the most unhappy among the crowd at a glance. That boy is probably a pig who wants to steal his own cabbage.

Natsu scratched his head. He didn't face his future father-in-law's sense of embarrassment, and he didn't even realize it. He said bluntly: "It's very late today. The house hasn't been cleaned up in many years. I can't sleep at all, so Come sleep at your place Lucy."

He said it very normally.

Lucy also sounded normal.

You've already gotten used to it.

But Jiude's expression changed. His Lucy was a rich young lady after all, so she still valued some rules!

His eyes were blazing: "Are you together?"

Lucy's face turned red and she was about to say no, but Natsu gave a thumbs up and said with a hearty smile, "Yes!"

This idiot!

Lucy knew that Natsu would be wrong. This one is together, not that one!

Jiude also misunderstood and said in a serious tone: "But you are not married yet, so you can't sleep together!"

"Huh?" Natsu was stunned, and then said, "But we don't sleep together. Happy and I plan to sleep on the sofa."

Natsu was as sincere now as before.

Jiude looked at Lucy with eyes full of scrutiny.

"Natsu, Happy, get out of here!" Lucy said quickly.

"Huh? Lucy is stingy" Natsu was a little reluctant.

"Now, immediately, get out and wait outside the door!" Lucy emphasized her tone.

"Okay." Natsu and Happy went out obediently.

"Dad, that's not the case, Natsu is an idiot." Lucy quickly explained to her father.

Natsu really didn't do much to her in the past few years.

Not a step closer.

Of course, the double arrow must be locked.

After learning about Natsu's situation in detail from his daughter, Jiude's frown relaxed: "Even so, you still have to pay attention to the impact."

"I know."

"That's it, I have work to do."

"Hey? Can't you stay for dinner?" Lucy asked.

"Okay." Jiude nodded and immediately sat majestically on the sofa. It seemed that he was actually looking forward to this invitation.

"I'll tell them to come in." Lucy came to the door, pulled Natsu's ear, and told him to behave well.

Natsu responded repeatedly, and then Lucy let him into the house.

"So, Mr. Jiude was sick before, and Ryder discovered it in time, and then called Emily back, and then Mr. Jiude was cured."

"Yes."

On the way home, Emily boasted about how many good things she had done in the past few years.

Among them was saving the sick Jiude.

Everit rubbed Emily's head and smiled with satisfaction.

While talking.

Everyone returned to Everit's house.

Not much has changed at home.

"Ah wu——"

A handsome white long-haired large dog looked up to the sky and roared.

"I told you, Miralite, you are a dog, not a wolf!" Emily rushed up and patted Miralite on the forehead.

But Miralite was very excited. The owner she hadn't seen for seven years was back, and she still knew her.

Miralite rushed up. The dog's body limitations prevented it from hugging Everit and Turtle Dove. It could only wag its tail crazily, crazily headbutt the two of them, lick its mouth randomly, and even let out a "whimper" "The sound of crying.

Everit always likes to be clean and tidy.

But at this time, he was sitting on the ground, teasing Miralite hard to soothe her excited mood.

After playing wildly with Miralite for a while, it gradually calmed down.

But it looked outside again and again.

"Go and find Sister Mira." Emily untied Miralite's rope, and it immediately turned into a gust of wind and disappeared around the corner - to find another owner, Miraje.

"Take a shower." Everit looked at himself in a embarrassed state.

Even during the BOSS battle, I was much dirtier than after playing crazy with Miralite.

"Let me rub your back." Alice volunteered.

"No need." Everit waved his hand, and Turtle Dove followed him step by step.

Emily's eyes widened.

Sister Ikaruga won? !

She stared at the backs of the two of them until Ikaruga followed Everit to the second floor.

She became excited: Sister Ikaruga really won!

Ikaruga first went to change into a set of cool clothes, and then put water in the bathtub.

"Mr. Evelit, it's okay," she reminded.

Everit put down the milk and walked to the bathroom.

He opened his hand, still supported by Turtle Dove.

‘Wow’

Everit sat on the stool.

Turtle Dove started to get busy.

Feeling the turtledove's careful care, Everit sighed with satisfaction: "Ah——"

Ikaruga pursed her lips and looked very serious. This is the work attitude of a regular employee!

Ikaruga used to be a temporary worker, but now - she is a regular employee of the Valliere family!

Official maid!
