Departure From The Springs

(Jason's POV)

"Hm..." I said as I sat down in front of the main counter, "I wonder what she meant by that..." 

Seth walked over to me, "Sir, are you in some sort of trouble with The Magic Council?" He asked, "That's not good...." 

I shrugged, "I mean...." I said, "Maybe....." 

I think it has to do with the whole Alvarez shit that's going on. Irene mentioned how Spriggan, or Zeref, wished to recruit me for some reason. She was sent here to spy on me and basically attempt to do the recruiting for him. 

But instead of joining, I ended up fucking Irene instead. Because she didn't care much, her having some sort of freedom, she ended up leaving and told me that she won't push the recruitment. 

I imagine that with the tensions between Alvarez and Ishgar, the Magic Council wants me on this country and on a short leash. They'll probably try to apprehend me and keep me on a close watch if they're serious about it. 

I scoffed, "As if..." I said, "I ain't letting those bastards push me around." 

I looked at Seth, who was looking at me with a surprised face, "Uhm..." He started, "I understand you're a mage and you look strong...but The Council is not to be messed with. I've heard so many stories about the lengths they go to. There was a member here just this morning, sir..." 

I nodded, "Yea." I said, "You, a normal person, might worry. But me? Nah, I'm good. I'll be fine." 

He gulped, "If...you say so.." He said

I crossed my arms, "So..." I said, "You guys....you two must've heard everything huh..." 

I was referring to me having sex with all those sexy babes. Juvia, Meredy, Ultear, Sorano, Kagura, and then Erza. Man, I really had a hell of a time in this place. This was one for the memories, I'm not even gonna lie. It was amazing. 

He blushed slightly as he rubbed his hair, "Haha.." He said, "It's good to be young, isn't it? Luckily we didn't have much customers you guys could've disturbed." 

I chuckled, "Yea." I said, "I guess we were kinda loud." 

He nodded, "All of them were such great beauties, sir." He said, "You're one lucky guy..." 

I smiled, "Ain't that the truth..." I said, "By the way, where's your partner?" 

"Tendo went to take a nap.." He said, "He'll wake up soon to tend to the gardens and then we can finally go to bed." 

"Might as well let him sleep." I said looking out the door, "It's already dark..." 

"Well, he insists on working on the garden at this hour." He said, "It takes him around an hour or two and then we bathe and close up..." 

I nodded, "I understand." I said, "Hey, did he mention the whole idea we talked about?" 

The whole God-Steel ingot thing he and I spoke about. I offered him a chance at starting a business, we can make a lot of money using those ingots. They're definitely worth a lot of money and a member of the council already paid a lot for it. I do wonder what was up with that. Who was the guy? And how did he have that kind of cash?

Oh well. Doesn't matter. 

"Yes." Seth said, "We'll think about it, sir." 

I shook my head and waved him off, "Enough with the sir crap." I said, "Call me Jason." 

"Oh..." He said taken aback, "Alright....Jason....we'll think about it. We're not aware of the risks but it does involve a lot of money if done right." 

I nodded, "Yea." I said, "It does. Well, if you ever do decide. Just send me a message on the location I wrote down for you." 

"Of course." He said, "Are you sure you don't wanna stay the night? You still have enough credit for it..." 

"I got stuff to do." I said, "And places to be. I don't mind traveling in the dark." 

He nodded, "I see." I said

"Well, thanks for having me, Seth." I said, "Give Tendo my regards. I'll be on my way." 

"Thank you for staying here, Jason." He said, "Hopefully you come and visit us again."

I chuckled, "More than likely, I will." I said as I turned around and began to walk away, 

"This was fun."
