Fairy Tail: My Magic is Yugi Muto's Deck

Chapter 58 The Council's Arrest Warrant

Under Erza's anxious and fearful gaze, her companions finally arrived.

"Chess, look! I won money! Twenty thousand J! And there's ten thousand of Harpy's in there!"

Lucy couldn't wait to show off the money in her hand to Chase, and emphasized Happy again.

Erza retreated silently, her face filled with fear, trying to minimize her presence, repeatedly muttering to herself: You can't see me, you can't see me.

"That was quite a spectacular battle! I never expected you, Chase, to actually defeat Erza, that monster!"

Gray, the true caveman, smiled as he looked at Chase.

Erza still says: I can't see you.

"What a man! Both of them are incredibly manly!"

Elfman raised his fists and roared, seemingly not intending to initiate a conversation.

"Feed Elfman, Erza is a girl..."

Kana, who was lying on the barrel of wine, hiccuped, half-drunk and half-awake.

Seeing that the main target's attention was not on her, Erza, who felt a great sense of relief, breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

Regardless of who it is, let's move on to something a little more normal...

"Erza, how could you lose to Chess? You're the captain of our strongest squad!"

Happy, who had lost money, flew down from the sky, hugged Erza's leg, and cried bitterly.

"..."

Erza's vision went black, and her head exploded with a buzzing sound: Hahahaha, better than?!

"Erza, what's wrong?" Happy asked, noticing something was wrong.

Erza's face turned ashen, and she stood frozen in place, not giving an immediate response.

Soon, her other companions noticed her stiff and trembling body and assumed she had been injured in the battle, so they gathered around her with concern.

Under the watchful eyes of many, Erza swallowed hard.

After a long period of mental preparation, she finally managed to stammer, "Love! We...we're not hurt!"

After he finished speaking, the entire room fell silent for ten seconds, as if struck by lightning.

then……

"Huh?!!!!!"

As if they had encountered a species even rarer than a dragon, the crowd gasped in disbelief.

"Wait, wait a minute, Happy No. 3? Erza has become Happy No. 3?!"

Lucy rubbed her eyes, hardly believing her ears.

"Haha, Happy, you're in pretty good luck."

Chase walked over and patted Erza on the shoulder, explaining the punishment to everyone.

"Isn't that right, Erza?"

Erza suddenly turned around, her eyes filled with a ferocity that was more monstrous than any monster's.

"Love~! That's exactly how it happened." So said the Fairy Queen, no, Happy No. 3.

While everyone was still reeling from the shock, the surrounding temperature quietly rose, and scorching flames suddenly burst forth.

Natsu, who had been knocked unconscious by Erza's punch, finally regained consciousness, clenching his fiery fists and shouting:

"Damn it! How dare they treat me like this! That bastard Erza! I'll get my revenge! I'll get my revenge!!"

"Oh ho, you've appeared just in time, Natsu."

Erza, filled with shame and indignation, clenched her knuckles, her eyes darkening, and added a final, definite "Love~!" at the end of her sentence.

"Huh? Happy Erza?!" Natsu was startled.

Although he couldn't figure out what had happened, he could clearly sense that Erza seemed to be...

It's even scarier than usual!

The raging desire for revenge vanished instantly. Startled, Natsu opened his arms and turned to hug Gray, who was standing closest to him.

"Love~! Gray and I get along well, we haven't argued!"

Gray was so shocked his hair stood on end. He shoved and kicked Natsu, yelling, "You clueless bastard who was dreaming the whole time, don't come any closer! If you're going to die, don't drag me down with you!"

"It's here! Happy Number Two!" Lucy exclaimed sharply.

People like Makaowawakaba, who love to watch the drama unfold, jumped out one after another to fan the flames:

"Haha! Go, Natsu Gray! Let's take advantage of Erza's low magic power and beat her up!"

"Go for it! You two can definitely do it!"

"Begging for mercy under these circumstances? You two are utterly lacking in manliness!"

"You bastard! If you're so good, you do it yourself!"

"But then again, Mira, what are we having for dinner tonight?"

"Ladies, let's continue, ignore them."

"Hey Erza, would you like some fish?"

"Don't worry, Levy, no matter what happens later, we'll protect you!"

……

Boom!

A crisp, sharp sound suddenly rang out, interrupting the situation that was about to descend into daily chaos.

A toad-man wearing a council robe walked slowly toward them with an indifferent expression and his webbed feet making strange squelching sounds.

"Who is that guy?" Makarov frowned slightly.

"No one move. I am an envoy of the Council."

The toad-man pulled out a document bearing the official seal of the council from his pocket and placed it in front of Erza. "During the previous Iron Forest terrorist attack, he was suspected of eleven other crimes, including damaging public facilities."

"Erza Scarlett, you are under arrest."

Upon hearing this, everyone showed expressions of astonishment and disbelief.

"W-How could this be? We clearly protected the station's passengers and residents during the Dark Guild's attack!"

As someone who experienced the entire incident firsthand, Lucy was the first to stand up and explain for Erza.

"So, why aren't you going to capture the escaped mastermind, Erigor, and instead come here to capture Erza?"

"Damn it! I won't let you take Erza away. Come and fight me if you dare!"

Natsu and Gray, who were just moments before terrified, suddenly stood in front of Erza without hesitation, their menacing aura flaring.

"Fairy Tail, do you intend to openly defy the council's orders?!" the toad-man roared.

These words ignited Natsu's fiery temper, and he took a step forward, ready to blast this strange-looking guy away.

"Stop, Natsu! Don't be impulsive!"

Erza pushed Natsu back down, walked up to the toadman, and extended her arms.

"President!" Natsu looked at Makarov anxiously.

Makarov did not reply, calmly watching Erza being put into the Demon-Sealing Handcuffs by the Toadman.

The council's so-called arrests of guild members are usually just formalities, symbolic gestures to show the outside world and highlight their status and power as managers, without actually sentencing them.

So he wasn't worried.

"hateful!"

Unaware of the reason, Natsu struggled fiercely, and just as he broke free from Marcao and the others' obstruction, he was pressed down to the spot by a strong hand.

"Let's do as the Chairman and Erza say, Natsu," Chess said calmly.

Upon seeing this, Makarov immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

In this situation, having an S-class mage present definitely makes things much easier.

Unexpectedly, the next second, Chess, who had tried to stop Natsu, stepped forward and walked towards the council envoy, standing next to Erza.

"Chase, you..." Erza stared wide-eyed in bewilderment.

"You are Chase from the previous incident on the Island of Ruins? Is there anything else?" The toad-man recognized Chase.

"I was also involved in damaging the facilities at the meeting place, so take me with you," Chase laughed.

He wanted to take this opportunity to meet Gerald and Ultear, who were lurking in the Council branch.

The existence of the Tower of Paradise has always been an unavoidable problem and the source of all tragedies and evils.

A year ago, his strength wasn't quite enough, but now...

With sufficient preparation, soloing the Tower of Paradise is not impossible!

Meanwhile, as a reward for the card explosion, consider it as spending time with Erza—even if it's just a formality of arrest.

Even the council's trial is vying for this guy, is he an idiot?

After a brief moment of surprise, the council envoy spoke arrogantly and coldly, "Only Erza is guilty; unrelated personnel should not get in the way."

then……

puff!

A dull thud sounded as he took a solid punch to the stomach, wincing in pain.

"Now, I have it too."

Chase withdrew his fist and smiled brightly.

The incident happened so suddenly that Lucinaz and the others were all stunned, and Erza, who was wearing handcuffs, gave them a look of disbelief.

As for Makarov...

The old man's eyes bulged out, his mouth was wide open, and only one thought remained in his blank mind:

What a load of nonsense!
