?
At this time, the purple moon emerged from the clouds on the horizon again. Then, under the purple light, the villagers who were originally strange and eating and drinking with Annie, after being shined by the moonlight, instantly transformed into completely demon-like existences in front of Annie.
‘…’
‘…’
Then, the villagers who were just talking and laughing at each other, eating and drinking, discovered the changes in their bodies, and saw the purple moon in the sky coming out and shining on them, turning them into terrifying existences, their expressions collapsed, and they sighed together, and at the same time they stopped what they had originally been at hand.
Suddenly, they felt that the aroma of barbecue skewers in their hands seemed to be eaten by them for the whole afternoon and they ate until dark suddenly became less delicious, the wine in the cup was no longer good, and even the thirst-quenching coconuts and other juices were no longer sweet.
“Huh?”
(???.???)??????
Seeing these kind-hearted "uncles" and "aunts" stop, and seeing the various changes in their bodies, Annie subconsciously looked up at the purple moon in the sky.
"Ah? Is it already evening now?"
(?ˊ????)???
"but……"
(?￣?￣)
"I'm so full..."
(??????)
Annie had already seen the changes in the other party, but she didn't mind much, because what she minded more was actually the changes in her own body!
For example, after eating her full food for an afternoon of delicious food, she had a little round belly at this time?
"ha!"
ε=(′?●))) So full~!
The meal lasted all afternoon until the moon came out to eat and drink in the evening. Little Annie was so satisfied that she had decided to take action at the right time to help these sad villagers with little help?
But……
She hasn't figured out how to take action yet. After all, things here seem to be a little complicated, so she is ready to think about it carefully.
“Eh?”
Σ(°△°|||)︴
However, before Annie could figure out how to sort out the matter and the context, and strive to do the best... Suddenly, she saw a guy in the distance who she said was very familiar with was so panting, shouting and waving at her, while running towards her from a distance?
‘Ann, Anne?!’
'Very good!!'
‘I finally found you…’
Lucy, who had investigated the real reason for the curse, ran back to the village, and followed the villagers' guidance and ran towards this place immediately, and soon discovered a hateful little guy who was eating greasy and full of greasy mouths in front of the barbecue grill.
"Huh! Huh!"
“!!”
"you……"
He ran to the front with panting. After seeing the little guy, Lucy instantly forgot what he had just wanted to say.
"Anne!"
"You...you are really bad!"
"We were fighting hard outside and almost lost our lives, but you... you... you, abominable little guy, are hiding here and eating and drinking comfortably?!"
She first looked at the skewers that were still flowing with the burnt smell, and then looked at a little girl with greasy face, her belly rounded and her face was slanted on the chair with an innocent expression. Lucy directly raised her eyebrows, inserted her waist, pointed at the other person's little nose and scolded her.
You know, Gray and Natsu are still fighting against the enemy's magicians in the ruins of the Moon Temple. It is still unclear what the situation is now, but this little guy is so good that he eats skewers here with others with delicious food and drinks?!
"But……"
(°〼°〃)
"Who told you not to wake them up? They didn't see you when they woke up, and they didn't know where you went to play. If you didn't come to find something to eat, would you have to wait for hunger?"
(??ˇεˇ??)
Little Annie argued with reason, and grabbed a little bear sitting on her shoulder, then used the other party as a rag, and wiped it casually on her greasy hands and face.
(…)
!(;???)o
"hateful!"
"You guy! You were obviously staying in bed at that time, but you refused to get up. Haven't I called you before?!"
Lucy was shocked and could not believe that the hateful little guy in front of him dared to distort the facts so righteously and even turned against him?
“…”
(lll￢▽￢)
"Have you ever called me? I don't seem to remember..."
(?~?)
Yes, Annie can't remember it.
Anyway, she only knew that when she woke up, she saw that there was only one person in the house, and then she went to the village for two more times, but in the end she couldn't find anyone. So, she had no choice but to come here and ate her lunch here under the invitation of the kind uncles.
Then, as soon as it tasted, I accidentally forgot the time until I came to my senses.
(…)
ε=(′?●))) Alas
(Tibers, who was used up by some bad little master, used up his face cloth and threw it aside, was speechless. He didn't want to say anything, so he could only sigh helplessly, then jumped on the barbecue rack and sat there, allowing the vigorous charcoal fire to burn the grease stains on it little by little.)
"you!"
"never mind!"
At present, the combat-capable magician in this village is probably the only S-level fairy magician in front of her. Lucy herself, the star magician, must be excluded from the combatants, so for the enemies who are about to be ready to destroy the village, they can only rely on the other party.
"I won't tell you about that matter for now. Hurry up, Annie, come with me quickly. We're going to fight. Follow me to the entrance of the village. We can talk about the incident while walking!"
After saying that, without waiting for the little guy to show anything, Lucy grabbed the other person's wrist and dragged it away directly.
“Eh?”
!!!∑(?Д?ノ)ノ
Annie began to struggle, reluctantly, as if she didn't want to go to the entrance of the village to fight or something with the other party.
"But, Lucy! I've just eaten my fill and don't want to fight now..."
?(?﹏?,)?
Yes, now Anne just wants to lie down here, or go back to the house they slept last night, until she has finished digesting and her stomach is not so bloated, maybe she will probably go and help?
Of course, that's just a possibility, not absolute, because it's already dark, maybe she'll have a sleep. What can I do until tomorrow?
"Stop talking nonsense!"
"It's time now, the enemy is coming soon. Come and prepare with me quickly. Now is not the time to make trouble for you!"
"We have been busy and hard for a day, and everything has been investigated clearly. Now is the time for you to show off!"
"I'm very optimistic about you!!"
As he said that, Lucy didn't give Anne a chance to refute or make excuses, so she grabbed the other party's wrist angrily and continued to drag it towards the entrance of the village.
"But, fighting is not fun at all..."
?°(°ˉ??ˉ?°)°?
Although he was reluctant, under Lucy's strength, Anne still had to stumbling and half-drag the other party toward the entrance of the village.
'Why!'
‘Annie! Don’t forget to bring your bear!’
At this time, the cat star Hubby, who had just flew back with Lucy, found a plush toy bear lying comfortably on the barbecue. Then it flew over and grabbed the other party, and then hurriedly chased Lucy and Anne who were running towards the entrance of the village.
(Damn it! Stupid Meow, let go of me, don't meddle in other people's business!!)
o(*'?')o
(Tibers, who found himself burning himself well, but suddenly destroyed by a fool, struggled for granted... However, the fur he grabbed onto the back collar and was also restricted by a hateful master, could not do anything except waving his claws in vain. Because, its claws could not reach the place where his collar was at, and could only let the other party grab them and fly forward.)
...
Soon, Lucy, who was dragging Little Anne and the cat star Harby, who was flying with Tibers, came to this place where many village names gathered at the entrance of the village.
And the reason they gathered here was because Lucy had already explained the relevant situation to them before going to find Anne.
"Anyway!"
“That’s how it is.”
"Anne!"
"Those guys who are about to attack this village are the culprits who turn everyone into this monster look!"
"As long as you defeat them and stop their ritual, I think the villagers should be able to return to normal soon, so please be prepared quickly, a war is about to begin!"
After seeing that he had arrived at the place and seeing that he had explained the situation to the little guy clearly on the road, Lucy let go of a little guy who still looked a little reluctant.
“Is that really that way?”
(′～`●)
"Maybe curses or something don't exist at all?"
╮(╯▽╰)╭
However, Anne didn't seem to agree with Lucy's words and the so-called "truth of things" that the other party worked hard for a day to investigate.
'But……'
‘Miss Magic, what should we do?’
‘The villagers are not good at fighting, otherwise they would not have issued the reward commission for you to help solve it.’
'yes……'
‘That’s that easy?’
‘I’m really worried…’
‘…’
Unfortunately, the vicious villagers started to discuss this.
Obviously, they are not very interested in catching the culprit or something, because they are just ordinary people who are cursed and tortured. They do not look as powerful as their appearance. Anyway, they think so in their hearts.
"Everyone should raise confidence!"
"We can definitely resist their attack!"
"and!"
"I came up with a good idea. Why don't we dig a trap?"
Lucy began to discuss with the villagers who wanted to escape, and cheered them up loudly, wanting them to muster up the courage to fight the upcoming enemy and beat the other party with her and some unreliable little girl!
However……
"Oh~!"
?(?′0`?)?
While Lucy, who was known as the first star magician of the "Fairy Tail", were tossing and mobilizing, speaking and setting traps, suddenly, the little Anne, who felt sleepy, suddenly discovered something was wrong.
"Hello!"
?(*?????)????
"Sister Lucy, those bad guys you are talking about are those guys flying in the sky, right?"
ヽ(⌒ω⌒)o?
“!!”
"Old, mouse?"
As Anne looked at her fingers from a distance and found that it was indeed a strange big mouse flying in the sky, where would Lucy not recognize her?
"yes!"
"It's them, they're flying?!"
"quick!"
"Everyone, go and prepare!"
So Lucy exclaimed directly and began to shout, wanting the villagers who were also looking up and watching to prepare quickly.
‘!!’
‘Flying rat!’
‘Okay, so big!’
‘Monster…’
'what to do?'
‘Why don’t we run away? Let’s give this place to the mage ladies to deal with?’
'But……'
‘That’s not good, right?’
‘If we could do it, we wouldn’t have spent so much money to hire someone!’
‘What I said is right.’
‘That’s right!’
'So……'
However, unlike the scene of Lucy's expected unity to fight the enemy together, the village names were not very interested in fighting the huge and flying terrible rat, and soon made a passive decision amid a discussion.
"you!"
"How can you do this?"
"This is your home. They are a group of villains. Haven't you ever thought about trying to fight once?"
Seeing those guys who looked fierce but extremely cowardly, they actually gave up at this critical moment, Lucy could only angrily scold her, but she was helpless.
Sudden!
"Shining spear!!"
ε?(????)?з
When Lucy wanted to say something, Anne suddenly took action!
↗↗
Whoosh! Whoosh!
She and Tibers each fired a piercing missile shining with purple magic energy. They surrounded them and accurately bombarded the mouse flying in the sky. After passing a long trace like a meteor, they accurately hit the huge enemy of the target in the sky.
boom!!
First, there was a sound of magic energy that exploded after hitting.
Rumble...
Then, the sound of the rumbling sound of the enemy when he was panicked and was forced to fall from the sky and fell into a slump.
‘…’
‘…’
‘…’
Just this moment, the strange-looking villagers in this village couldn't help but startle their chins, and then they couldn't help but look at a little girl who seemed to have done something irrelevant.
"Oh~!"
(??ヮ??)?
"Don't be so surprised. Such a big target flies in the air and is so slow. People always have to try to hit it..."
*:??(?′?`)??:*
Little Annie didn't think she had done anything amazing. After all, although her magic sparkling spear was not very powerful, it hit far away. Just like that, the enemy was so big, an obvious aerial target like that. For her, the most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most
“Eh?!”
