Crossover Anime: I, Shirou Kotomine, King of Uruk

Chapter 42 Shirou Kotomine's Plan

"Hahaha!"

Laxus's laughter continued.

Watching Natsu being hammered into the ground by Chairman Makarov, his smile was exceptionally smug.

Of course, Lagersas wasn't the only one laughing.

There were other onlookers, clutching their stomachs and pointing at Natsu, laughing loudly.

They had foreseen this scenario before it even happened.

After all, the second floor wasn't a mystery to them, even though they had never been up there.

At most, it's just that the commission there is of a higher level.

In reality, the rules on the second floor don't actually protect these elderly people.

With their rich experience and mature personalities, they naturally understood the dangers of S-class missions.

The rule against going up to the second floor is to prevent young, impetuous, and simple-minded guys like Natsu from being ahead of everyone else.

It's just a commissioned task, there's nothing mysterious about it.

However, these guys didn't dwell on Natsu's affairs for long this time, since they often saw Natsu making a spectacle of himself.

At this moment, they were surrounding Kotomine Shirou.

They were asking about Mistorgh.

"Shirou, now that you've seen Mystogan, what does he actually look like?"

"Yeah, is he an ugly duckling or a handsome guy?"

"That's right, that's right! The more he tries to hide it, the more curious I become!"

The people surrounding Shirou Kotomine were asking him all sorts of questions.

This scene was truly unbearable for Shirou Kotomine.

Compared to the people they see every day, mysterious figures like Mistgang attract their attention far more.

That's why they're so enthusiastic right now.

"Huh!?"

He quickly reached out and created a small space around the crowd.

Kotomine Shirou quickly explained, "Wait, don't rush!"

"Although I did see Mistgang, in addition to the sleeping magic, he was also wearing a mask on his face, and all I could see was his blue hair."

"Huh? Besides hypnotic magic, he's also wearing a mask?"

The surrounding audience was speechless.

They finally understood why Laxus had said that Mistorgon was particularly shy.

That's so embarrassing!

Having failed to get the amusement they wanted, the crowd quickly dispersed.

After things calmed down, Shirou Kotomine's squad resumed selecting missions.

.

"So you haven't chosen a suitable task yet?"

At noon, while having lunch in the guild, Lucy looked at Natsu and Gray, who were sulking in front of her, and said helplessly.

"It's all Natsu's fault! He's always complaining about everything. He disagrees with every single mission I suggest, but he can't seem to come up with any missions himself. It's infuriating!"

Swallowing the food in his mouth, Gray angrily berated Natsu.

Natsu wasn't intimidated by him.

"Huh? What kind of tasks are you even doing?"

"We're the strongest team! Naturally, we should be doing the hardest missions. Shouldn't we carefully select our members?"

"What kind of strongest squad are we without Erza?!"

Lucy complained.

But neither Gray nor Natsu paid any attention to her.

Given their pride, it's impossible for either of them to admit they're inferior to Erza.

Especially when they are competing with each other.

Watching Natsu and Gray arguing, Shirou Kotomine couldn't help but shake his head.

He knew what Natsu was thinking.

It's simply because he was looked down upon by Laxus before, so he wants to challenge an S-rank mission.

That's exactly what he did in the original story.

Kotomine Shirou did not intend to stop him.

After all, this mission is closely related to Gray.

Besides, he also wanted to take a stroll on the island.

Having finally relieved himself of his heavy burden, Shirou Kotomine also planned to relax.

Then return to prepare for the attack by the Phantom Lord.

According to Shirou Kotomine's vague memory, shortly after this mission was assigned, the battle between Fairy Tail and Phantom Lord took place.

Kotomine Shirou plans to leave this world after this great battle.

After all, he didn't have a deep understanding of his cheat ability yet, and he couldn't be sure if he would return at the same time next time.

As a member of Fairy Tail, Shirou Kotomine would not let anyone who dared to attack his guild get away with it.

Moreover, in this incident, Chairman Makarov was also ambushed and nearly died.

Kotomine Shirou would not allow such a thing to happen.

"Since you don't like any of these tasks, then take your time choosing, Natsu!"

"Don't worry, we can wait."

"You have all day to choose a task, but don't forget to call us when you've made your selection!"

After putting away the used tableware, Shirou Kotomine said to Natsu with a light laugh.

"Oh! As expected, Shirou, you're the best!"

Natsu, who had initially lacked confidence, immediately jumped up excitedly.

He quickly stuffed the food in the bowl into his mouth, then ignored Gray's shouts and ran off to choose a task.

Watching Natsu's retreating figure, Gray said with a hint of helplessness, "Shirou, you shouldn't spoil him like this."

"It's nothing. I think Natsu was probably provoked by Laxus earlier, so he wants to choose some difficult missions to prove his strength."

"As teammates, we also need to care about each other's mentality, otherwise it's easy to get injured during missions."

Shirou Kotomine earnestly explained his thoughts to Gray and Lucy.

Lucy suddenly realized.

Gray nodded slightly.

As a childhood friend, he could roughly guess what Natsu was thinking.

"Fine, I won't argue with him today. Let him choose carefully!"

Gray waved his hand casually.

Shirou Kotomine and Lucy couldn't help but laugh when they saw this.

After getting to know them over this period of time, they have seen through the relationship between Gray and Natsu.

Seeing Gray's stubbornness, both of them felt a little pleasure.

"What are you laughing at!"

She was a little embarrassed by the laughter from Shirou Kotomine and Lucy.

Feeling embarrassed, Gray immediately carried his and Natsu's plates to the counter.

Seeing this, Shirou Kotomine and Lucy laughed even more unrestrainedly.

.

After Gray escaped, Shirou Kotomine and Lucy laughed for a while before carrying their plates to the counter where plates were returned.

"Shirou, please wait a moment!"

Just as Shirou Kotomine had finished setting down his plate and was about to leave the guild to go for a stroll, Mirajane called him back.

"What's wrong, Mira?"

Kotomine Shirou asked in confusion.

There was no trace of yesterday's embarrassment on his face.

The same goes for Mirajane.

"It's about the magic in the notebook you left behind yesterday. I have some questions I'd like to ask you."

"Okay, I understand!"

Kotomine Shirou nodded.

Then he turned to look at Lucy.

"I understand, I'll head back now."

Lucy said goodbye very tactfully.

As her neighbor, she knew very well that Shirou Kotomine and Mirajane had been discussing magic lately.

In addition, Shirou Kotomine had previously said that he had a battle to attend to.

The clever Lucy naturally wouldn't bother Shirou Kotomine at such a time.

So she left the guild alone.
