Chapter 41: Fighting with a speaker is invincible.
Chapter 41: Fighting with a speaker is invincible.
After a painstaking explanation, the misunderstanding was finally cleared up.
The Dark Magician Girl and Valkyrie quickly became acquainted, sitting in a corner and whispering to each other, their eyes occasionally glancing at Chess and Lucy.
As summoned creatures, they seemed to be naturally compatible.
"By the way, Chase! Now that Lucy's back, can we see this thing?"
Natsu, familiar with the place, picked up a stack of papers covered in writing from the bookshelf in the living room.
"My novel!!"
Lucy spat out all the black tea she had drunk, her inner power exploded on the spot, and she kicked Natsu to the ground.
Click.
The sound of the floor cracking followed.
"Seriously, can you please stop thinking about this thing?"
Lucy clutched the books she had stolen tightly to her chest, transforming into a fierce and snarling demon king.
"Yes! I'm very sorry..." Natsu's white soul, which had left his body, floated in mid-air.
"Lucy, I've heard about what happened. You're writing a novel, right?"
Chess calmly pulled out a tissue and wiped the tea sprayed on his face. "Don't worry, with me here, Natsu definitely won't peek."
"After all, I am also a creator with my own dreams, and I understand very well the shame that comes from having your secret creations discovered."
Upon hearing this, Lucy felt as if she had found a kindred spirit, and tears streamed down her face.
"Waaaaah, Chess, remember to come over often when you have time, especially when Natsu is around!"
After glaring fiercely at Natsu, she suddenly realized what she meant and exclaimed excitedly, "Wait, Chess, you just mentioned creation, does that mean you're a writer too?!"
As she finished speaking, she tried to imagine Chess sitting quietly at his desk, writing earnestly with a quill pen.
Then, the next second, I gave up: I just can't imagine it at all!
"No, that's not it. Writing novels is something that humans simply can't do," Chase said seriously.
"Ah, aha, that's true."
Lucy laughed awkwardly and replied, "So, Chess, what you mean by 'creation' is...?"
"On the continent of Giltina, there is a town of magical music."
The Dark Magician Girl held up one finger, answering for Chess, "So, during this year of the ten-year commission, Master has been trying to write songs."
"Huh, songwriting? Music??"
This time, not only Lucy, but even Natsu and Happy, who were very familiar with Chess, were stunned.
The two of them looked at each other, then covered their mouths with their hands and couldn't help but burst out laughing.
In some ways, it's harder to imagine Chase playing the piano than writing a novel!
"That's right!"
Chase cleared his throat, stood up from the sofa, his eyes filled with anticipation, "Fighting the enemy against a backdrop of exhilarating music—no matter how you look at it, it's an invincible thing!"
Upon hearing this, Natsu and Happy blinked, immediately picturing Chess as a monster, carrying a speaker and smashing enemies into meat patties.
Hmm, that makes much more sense!
"Reasonable my foot! This scene is way too gory!"
Lucy jumped in, tearing their imagined scenario in two, "Besides, even a mage skilled in music magic wouldn't be fighting while carrying a speaker!"
"That shouldn't be the case, Lucy. As a novelist, you should have a richer imagination," Chase said, casting a questioning glance at her.
"Hey Chess, although I'm writing, I can't really be considered a formal novelist yet."
Lucy suddenly began to sway and tremble, feeling somewhat lightheaded.
"Lucy's so weird. Chase was clearly saying you don't have a rich imagination," Happy muttered under his breath.
"Shut up, you dead cat!!"
"Although it's a reserved program for the harvest festival, and we haven't gathered enough performers yet, but..."
"Since the atmosphere is already quite right, I'd like to give you a special opportunity to listen to my work."
Under Nazlush Happy's incredulous gaze, Chase raised his hand and drew a blank ordinary card.
The magic circle shimmered, and a specially made magical guitar appeared out of thin air in his hand, while a magical piano stood beside him.
"Master, let me accompany you!"
The dark magician girl raised her hands high and hopped to sit on the magic piano.
Immersed in the path of demonic cultivation, she is not particularly skilled in the field of music, or rather, her foundation in this area is almost zero.
The reason I learned to play was because I was quite interested in magical instruments that could be used by inputting magic power. After some research, I mastered a little bit of the basics.
In fact, Chess's situation was much the same; he relied entirely on the help of professionals from the music city of Giltina Continent to produce the sheet music.
"You're kidding, right? That Chesgo guy actually knows how to play musical instruments?"
Watching Chase skillfully sling the magic guitar over his shoulder, Lucy couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.
"Oh no, Happy, quickly cover your ears! That's definitely a death knell!"
In contrast, Natsu and Happy, who knew Chess better, covered their ears in horror.
To them, Chess, who was preparing for the performance so earnestly, was a complete stranger.
So unfamiliar that I can't believe it at all!
"Hey, do you guys have to be so dramatic...?"
Lucy said disdainfully, "No matter how you look at it, that's incredibly rude!"
Even so, she was actually a little flustered and subconsciously took two steps back.
Chess's lips curled up slightly, and he did not scold Natsu and Happy, showing great confidence.
The reason is simple: the music he's about to play is the most soulful and exciting background music from Fairy Tail!
"Listen up, Natsu, don't get on fire later."
After nodding to the ready-to-play dark magic girl, Chase straightened his magic guitar and began playing.
Thump thump thump thump, thump thump thump.
The moment the light and melodious prelude began, as if some gene hidden deep in their bloodline had been awakened, Natsu and Happy were stunned on the spot, and their hands covering their ears involuntarily fell down.
"Wait, this music..."
Lucy stared wide-eyed in disbelief as well.
Born into a wealthy family, she had naturally listened to countless rock songs, but she had never felt anything like this before: the blood in her body was boiling rapidly in sync with the ups and downs of the melody!
This is a wondrous state that is difficult to describe in words!
Perhaps using Chesgo's music in battle could actually boost morale?
Lucy, engrossed in the music, was secretly alarmed.
"Princess, you have a fever."
Baluge's incredibly calm reminder interrupted her thoughts.
"It really gives me a thrilling feeling!"
I meant your skirt.
"Huh? Huh!!!"
Lucy was startled and looked down at her skirt, which was actually on fire!
Is Chesgo also a mage who can use music to launch magical attacks?
No! That's not right!
Lucy looked in the direction the flames were coming from and was immediately terrified.
Natsu clenched his fists with excitement, his whole body bathed in raging flames!
"No, no! Chess, stop! Natsu, he's really on fire!"
"Lucy, Master is designed so that once she starts playing, she can't be interrupted."
"Is this kind of character setting really suitable for someone who feels ashamed if they are discovered?!"
"Haha! I'm fired up!"
"My house, my house! Ahhhhhh!!"
"like!"
"Love my ass!"
In an instant, the scene became incredibly chaotic.
