Chapter 57 Punishing the Fairy Queen
Chapter 57 Punishing the Fairy Queen
【The Sealed One's Right Arm】: A mysterious card with an unclear meaning. Its full release will grant unimaginable and limitless power.
Single card effect: Gradually increases attack power during battle. (From the card story)
"Now, maybe I really can summon my fist into an attack stance..."
Looking at the dark gold right wrist card floating deep within his consciousness, Chase couldn't help but let out a soft sigh.
I just don't know to what extent the actual combat effect can be improved; I need to find an opportunity to study it carefully.
What would it be like to gather all five parts and summon Exodia, the legendary dark sorcerer who surpasses even the gods?
As Chase was pondering this, his vision suddenly went dark, and he was forced to fall against a hard, expansive chest.
Before anyone knew it, Erza, now back in her normal armor, had arrived and expertly pressed his head against her steel chest.
"It's been a long time since I've had such a satisfying battle. I'm really enjoying it, Chess," Erza laughed.
Her charming smile carried a hint of cunning, as if she had succeeded in her scheme.
"Wow, so hard..." Chase's head was buzzing.
Immersed in the joy of his new card, he was careless and didn't even use magic to protect his forehead.
Although this is an affectionate gesture Erza makes towards her companions, and it does feel quite nice from an experience perspective, damn it, it really hurts!
"It's definitely a bit of a stretch to fight you now."
Erza released Chess and sighed softly.
Chase rubbed his swollen forehead and said seriously, "At the last moment of the collision, you actually held back, didn't you?"
"Aren't you the same?"
Erza glanced at him casually. "If I'm not mistaken, if I really break through the Holy Barrier, you should summon Kuriboh, and the outcome won't change."
Having faced off against Chase several times, she was already very familiar with Chase's card magic tactics.
"Not bad, Erza. You seem to have a knack for playing cards. Why don't you skip the dress-up magic and join the world of card players?"
Chase opened his arms to give a warm welcome, and joked with a smile.
This is obviously a joke.
"Furthermore, you haven't summoned the strongest eight-star Chaos Dark Magician, nor have you used those high-powered cards from Pot of Greed."
Erza rested her delicate chin on her hand, completely ignoring Chase's suggestion about becoming a card dealer, and seamlessly continued her previous conversation as if she hadn't heard it at all.
"Natsu told me you recently acquired a pretty powerful Red Dragon card, right?"
This guy is truly impeccable at feigning deafness...
Chess sighed, looked at Erza who was analyzing the situation seriously, and said calmly, "You're the same; you didn't put on your strongest fairy armor."
"Oh, and a breast wrap."
"A breast wrap?"
Erza was stunned when she heard the strange name, her beautiful eyes widening in surprise.
The Fairy Armor is armor bearing the name of the guild, originally intended for protecting the guild, so it's impossible for it to be used against one's own comrades.
But what the heck is a breast wrap?!
"Hmm? Don't you even know yourself? The other name for the Pure Heart Garment is just a breast wrap." Chess laughed heartily.
Surprisingly, the valiant fairy queen's expression is quite adorable, a charming contrast that's incredibly endearing.
Erza: "...Only you know that, right?"
While the clothing does look quite fitting, could you please give it a nicer alternative name?
For example, a double-edged bread with butter and such!
"But then again..."
Erza really didn't want to argue with the dead man about the armor's nickname any longer. She glanced at the dilapidated scene around her and said frankly, "Chess, I lost this battle."
She never thought of herself as a particularly powerful person.
On the contrary, it is precisely because they are well aware of their own weakness that they wear heavy armor at all times to conceal their fragile hearts.
But Chess is different.
In Erza's subconscious, Chase is a partner she can completely trust and rely on, whose strength and potential are terrifyingly high.
She firmly believed that one day he would leave her far behind.
Therefore, losing the competition would not make her lose face, but would instead make her feel at ease.
"You said it yourself."
Chess chuckled, his eyes gleaming, showing no sign of modesty.
"What...what do you want to do?"
Erza felt a little uneasy under his gaze and instinctively took a half step back.
"According to guild tradition, in formal sparring, the losing side must unconditionally accept one punishment from the winner."
"Wait, is there such a tradition?" The veteran "old-timer" who has been a member for eight years was quite surprised.
"Oh, I see. So even the fairy queen, who is so strict with herself, has times when she tries to renege on her promises."
Chase shrugged indifferently and said casually, "Fine, Erza, if you're not going to punish me, then you're not going to punish me."
"You bastard Chase! Who do you think you are? I'm Erza Scarlet!"
Erza, who always values her reputation, took the bait and clenched her fists indignantly.
After standing there for two and a half seconds, the Fairy Queen, her face slightly flushed, shouted like a fearless warrior gladly facing death, "It's just warming your bed! I will absolutely not back down in the slightest!"
Chase's smile froze instantly: "..."
"Who said my punishment was just warming your bed?!"
While your awareness is admirable, what premise did you base your first thought on, that you immediately came up with such a ridiculous idea?
"Stop pretending to be a pervert, Chase. I heard about it from Lucy when we were teaming up."
Erza nodded emphatically, a knowing look on her face.
Upon hearing this, Chase's lips twitched, and he clenched his right fist, which was hanging by his side.
Alright! You're such a dork, huh? I'll remember this!
"Listen carefully, Erza. My punishment isn't just warming your bed, it's..."
Chase held up one finger, "Imitate the first person who talks to you later for a day!"
"Oh? That's quite an unexpected punishment."
Erza crossed her arms, her pretty face radiating confidence. "You probably don't know this, but I'm quite interested in stage plays and stuff like that."
"Rather than a punishment, it felt more like a performance where I could shine."
Seeing that she was not only not afraid but even a little eager to try, Chess smiled and pointed to the guild members who were shouting and rushing towards them.
"Before you say such things, shouldn't you take a look at what kind of people are in our guild?"
Upon hearing this, Erza's confident smile froze on the spot.
He turned slightly to the side, his gaze following the direction Chase was pointing, landing on the few people at the very front of the line.
Gray, who's completely naked; Elfman, who keeps shouting "manly"; Cana, who carries a huge barrel of liquor even while walking; and Bigita, who keeps spinning and jumping with her eyes closed...
It seems that imitating any eccentric character is a painful ordeal!
Especially Lucy.
If you want to imitate Lucy, you'd probably have to wear that, right?
Erza subconsciously pictured her own incredibly daring and alluring armor.
In an instant, her face turned bright red, her eyes glazed over, and her head was steaming: This is absolutely not going to do!
Until this point.
The fairy queen, who was full of confidence in her acting skills, belatedly realized Chase's filth and malice.
