After meeting with the Strauss siblings two years has passed and honestly it was really fun. I followed them secretly to get Mira's schemes beforehand so that I can prepare myself for it and the interactions between the siblings made me believe that they hold each other very dear.
During the first year, most of our encounters were because of Mira trying to get back at me. She would come up with all sorts of ideas only to be beaten back by me. And it didn't just end with that as I would taunt her afterwards to keep trying to get back at me.
She started off with schemes and then got physical. Although I didn't use any strength, just the techniques were enough to put her down. But what surprised me was the fact that she seemed to be absorbing my techniques like a dry sponge absorbing water subconsciously. The first few times she tried she wouldn't last for more than three strikes. But as time went on her desire to beat me might have taken effect as she was lasting longer and longer. Although I was still only using techniques.
Whenever Mira was there, Lisanna would follow and she would find all sorts of topics to talk about which I gladly cooperated in. we talked about a lot of things during our short time together during which Elfman would nurse Mira from the 'beating'.
Mine and Elfman's relationship also grew closer as when it was Lisanna who took care of Mira, I would call him over and talk about how to be a real man, which is his favorite catch phrase in the canon and quickly became here. It seems he admired me a whole lot after I constantly beat his older sister. And I wasn't going to miss the opportunity to impress my future brother in law now would I.
During the second year, I finally made the move on Lisanna. As they were walking through the forest, I used space to separate her from her siblings and led her to an area where a magic beast resided. Once it smelled its intruder it went after her and attacked. And there I was using the classic 'saving the damsel in distress' on Lisanna. After that it went as expected. Lisanna would follow me whenever we meet and she would always have a blush on her face when she was with me.
But now, it is time for things to start get a little darker for the siblings. Their parents were going to lose their life sometime soon and after that the whole demon in the church incident. As I waited for the events to happen several weeks pass by. And finally after waiting for a month the Strauss siblings lost their parents to an attack by a wild animal when they were at the edge of the forest collecting herbs.
I watched as the siblings mourned their loss and I didn't appear in front of them even when Lisanna came to find me to vent her heartache. I didn't appear before them after that and two more months passed by. During these two months the news of the demon inside the church spread around the village and finally Mira went to subjugate it. After defeating it just like in canon her hand demonetized as a result of her awakening to the over soul magic.
When the villagers saw this they stated to become agitated and scared of Mira. I knew it was almost time to make my entry so I got myself ready. The villagers having had enough of living in constant fear geared themselves with whatever weapon like things they could find before heading towards the siblings' home. Mira stood in front of her two siblings to protect them from harm while trying to convince the villagers that she didn't get possessed and that her parents were also not demons after the villagers accused their parents.
After shouting at the siblings like that for a while, one of the villagers ran towards the siblings with an axe swinging it towards them. Mira turned her back on him trying to shield her two siblings and that was where I knew I should interfere in.
I appeared before the attacking villager and put a stop on his axe swing with one hand without breaking a sweat. The attacker and the rest of the villagers were stunned by the sudden development as the place fell into a silence with only the sobbing of the siblings to be heard.
"I'm only going to say this once. If even a hair on them is hurt, I'll raze this place to the ground, so scram!"
My calm voice sounded among the silenced villagers. As they were about to retort, I glared at them with a little killing intent mixed into the air. Each and every one of them took a step back followed by all of them running away. I turned back to the siblings to see that they were looking at me shocked with tears all over their faces. I knelt before them and gently wiped their tears as I said to them.
"it will be alright. I'm still here on your side."
That was the trigger as all three of them threw themselves at me and started bawling. It took a couple of hours for them to calm down a little and I then helped them pack their things as it was apparent that they won't be able to live here anymore. We left the village soon after and didn't talk much as I lead them in the direction of Fairy Tail. I knew what Mira was thinking so I started explaining what exactly happened to her.
"You are not possessed by any demon Mira. You just awoke to your magic. It's called over soul magic and you seem to have taken on the form of a high ranking one. So don't go having strange ideas."
I went on to explain more after not receiving a reply to which her siblings were more than happy to hear. As my explanation didn't work on her, I grabbed her demon hand and raised her chin to make her face me and said to her in the gentlest tone I have ever used with her.
"Trust me Mira, you're not a monster. You are Mirajane Strauss. A very beautiful girl who can be very rash but despite that hides the gentlest of soul inside of her. Never forget that."
She seems stunned at my tone and my compliment as she blushed and a small tug appeared on her lips. Seeing that I felt a little relieved. Now let's see, Fairy Tail is…
Shit!!!!
I suddenly took the siblings and ran as fast as I could and half an hour after that I stopped and hid them in a cave. They were asking about what happened to me all of a sudden but I ignored them and used the space to separate them from reality making them cut off from the world. After I was done with that, I turned around and waited. Waited for the one who I sensed earlier and the one who kept on following us to come while sweating nonstop.
I could hear the worried screams of the siblings behind me as they could sense something was wrong. And after a while they saw what exactly that was.
