Chapter 362 Heartfilia House
"I seem to smell Lucy's scent!"
"Although I know you don't mean anything else, it's better not to tell her family."
Rhode was a little worried that they would be driven out.
Although their current 'Lucy Search Team' is more capable than the other, it's not a good idea to rush into a fight when they get to Lucy's house.
Gray folded his arms and looked down on Natsu: "Why do you need to smell the scent? The largest building over there is obviously Lucy's house."
"Put on your clothes first." Erza reminded him, and then sighed, "As expected of a leading tycoon, the house is bigger than the Cathedral of Cardea, no, it's bigger than the venue of the regular meeting."
Rhode nodded. It would take at least several minutes to demolish such a big house.
Hexie went straight to the most conspicuous mansion, but was stopped by someone when he saw the courtyard. It seemed to be a security guard or a guard?
"The Heartfilia mansion is ahead. May I ask who you are?"
Erusa replied, "We are the wizards of Fairy Tail, Lucy's companions, and we are here to find Lucy."
"Are you the lady's friends? Please wait." The guard ran to the courtyard and asked a maid, Mrs. Spette, who had taken care of Lucy since she was a child.
Looking carefully, there are still many people in the courtyard, such as maids, gardeners, etc. There are almost 20 people who can be seen. This is just the courtyard. I don't know how many people are cleaning the big house.
Gray said, "Lucy is really able to get used to living alone."
Happy added, "Love, and self-reliant."
Rod added, "And you guys often break into people's houses."
Natsu laughed heartlessly, "Because she is Lucy! Lucy of Fairy Tail."
Because she is Lucy, she can get used to worrying about rent every month. Because she is Lucy of Fairy Tail, she can tolerate messy companions.
"This is not a reason for you to bully her all the time! Although I also bully her..." Rod said righteously, "But I only bully her verbally!"
"I'm sorry, Master Jude is discussing important matters with Miss Lucy, and no one is allowed to interrupt. So please wait for a moment."
Mrs. Spite came over with the guards: "If you don't mind, please come in and have some refreshments?"
She was a little self-willed, because Lucy had no friends of the same age since she was a child. Mrs. Spite knew that the master didn't like the people of Fairy Tail, but she still wanted to entertain her quietly.
Natsu's eyes lit up: "Refreshments!"
Happy also rushed forward: "Are there any fish?"
Eluza grabbed the back of Natsu's collar and the back of Happy's neck, like holding two cats: "No need, thank you for your kindness, we will come back later."
Natsu and Happy were dragged away, and several people turned and left.
The "later" that Erza said was probably only a few seconds.
Considering that Lucy might be forced by her father to do something she didn't want to do, everyone decided to sneak in without hesitation.
A man as steady as Rhode would definitely not watch them fooling around, he would follow them.
This was not fooling around, it was a plan.
They found a hidden place, Happy took Natsu, Razor took Erza, and Rhode took Gray, all flew to the roof of the mansion.
Happy looked through the windows one by one, found the room where Jude and Lucy were, and then everyone played rappelling together, lying outside the window and eavesdropping.
The rope was provided by Erza, and she even brought a set of black tights, but it was a pity that it could not be used now.
When they were in place, they heard a majestic male voice: "... This is a very meaningful marriage for the future of the Heartfilia family."
Then came Lucy's somewhat disappointed voice: "Father..."
The other party didn't seem to care what she wanted to say: "That's all I want to say, you can go back to your room."
Lucy's voice became firm: "Please don't misunderstand, I came back not to compromise with you, but to convey my decision."
"What?"
"Don't decide my marriage casually, I have my own way to go!"
"Lucy?" The man's voice became a little stunned, and his daughter never dared to speak to him in such a tone before.
"If you hadn't done that, maybe I could have a peaceful talk with you, but you shouldn't have asked someone to hurt my companions!"
Lucy tore her gorgeous dress apart with a tearing sound, and said in a loud voice, "Don't attack Fairy Tail again! Otherwise, everyone in the guild will regard you as an enemy, including me, of course!"
"Do you know what you are talking about? You should know the wealth and power of the Heartfilia family best, right?"
"It doesn't matter! I don't want money or this house, but a place that truly recognizes my personality! Fairy Tail is my other home, a warmer home than here!
As long as I am with my companions, I don't need to be afraid of the power of the Heartfilia family!"
Natsu outside the window became excited when he heard Lucy's words. Rod was quick to grab Happy and cover Natsu's mouth before he shouted.
However, Erza was also moved by Lucy's words: "Well said... woo! "
Rod grabbed Gray's shirt and stuffed it into Erza's mouth.
Gray looked at Rod in shock. He blocked Erza's mouth like this. If you don't want to live, don't take me with you!
Rhodes glared at Gray. He was not afraid of retaliation. Erza was a reasonable person, and who asked Gray to take off his clothes at this time.
"Who is that person over there?!"
It was indeed too obvious to lie on someone's wall. At first, the guards thought they were window-cleaning servants, but it was abnormal for a few people to stay there all the time.
Several people sneaked back to the roof decisively.
Lucy opened the window and took a look. The guards downstairs were already busy: "There is a suspicious person sneaking in, go find it quickly! Protect the master and the lady!"
The person who would sneak into Heartfilia's house so carelessly... Lucy sighed, thinking she already knew who it was.
She closed the window and adjusted her mood: "That's all I have to say. If mom is still here, she will definitely support me... Goodbye, dad."
The last sentence was very damaging to Jiude. He seemed to see Layla's figure in Lucy.
Jiude couldn't say a word and watched Lucy leave blankly.
Will Layla... support her?
…
"I told you to keep quiet and don't move around. Have you been discovered?" Rhodes decided to throw the pot away first.
"I'm sorry!" The three of them and the cat lowered their heads like students being scolded by a teacher.
Rhodes' action plan can't be wrong, the only ones who are wrong are them.
"You'll have to do double the work as punishment when you go back."
"yes……"
After confirming that Lucy was fine, the rest of the group relaxed, and they were just working, small things.
Gray said: "By the way, since Lucy is not under house arrest or anything, we can go directly to see her, right?"
"Delicious refreshments!" Natsu still couldn't forget the delicious ones.
"Fish!" Happy said with him.
Erza smiled and said: "Don't think about it, Lucy has given up her identity as the eldest lady, and she wants us to accompany her to earn rent when she goes back."
Rhodes sighed and said earnestly: "Please do less damage next time... Let the president and Lucy worry less."
"yes……"
Regardless of whether it can be done or not, just agree first and then talk about it.
