Successful Job 4
Morning
Naruto had a great sleep after all the fighting and magic he used in the battle against the ancient Demon. He slept like a baby and was having a good dream.
"WwwwwwhhhhhhhhaaaaaaattttttttttttttttttthhhhhhhhheeeeeFffffffffffffuuuuuuuuuuuuuukkkkkkkkkkkkkkk," he heard a female voice shriek.
Naruto didn't expect the day to start with a shriek. So when he opened his eyes, he saw blazing purples staring at him menacingly.
"Wha-?" He asked only to be thrown out of the room by a lizard-like black tail which came out of nowhere. He flew and fell into the pool of the inn, which softened his impact, but hurt like hell.
"Aahhh," groaned Naruto. Out of all things he expected, being thrown into water was not one of them. He was rubbing his head when a figure lunged at him.
"What the fuck are you thinking sleeping in my bed?" It asked, pushing him into water again and drowning him.
Fortunately for Naruto, he can breathe underwater easily. As it saved him from dying. To not cause any ruckus, he took the figure and jumped into the room.
"Sorry," he said to all the people who were disturbed and sealed the room with privacy seals for better safety.
"What happened? Why are you angry early in the morning?" He asked the figure, now identified as Mira, who was in her She-Devil form.
"What happened? What the fuck are you doing sleeping on me and with drool in your mouth?" She shouted in rage.
Sealing the room was the best choice as Naruto has no doubt that her voice would be heard till the Board office in the middle of the city.
"What? I thought I fell on my bed!" Said a confused Naruto.
"Is it? Then what is this?" Asked Mira, showing the contrast between two beds while the one on right is neat and clean, the one on the left is messy and he can see small spots of water.
"Uh, sorry. I was so exhausted when I came, I might have mistaken. Hehehehe," he said nervously, rubbing the back of his head sheepishly.
"Where the hell did you go anyway? That shit clone of yours didn't tell me anything," she grumbled.
"Well, if you're that curious, I killed a Demon who is a bit annoying and it took everything I can. Also met Mystogan after it," said Naruto, not going into too much detail.
He knew the tattooed boy won't talk about it as he is rarely seen in the Guildhall. Mira gave him a confused look.
She classified everything the blonde says into 2 categories, the first being smart things like how he knew about magic theory and how it works.
And the second is, well Naruto's weird things. As the blonde does things that seem weird to her like how he managed to suppress all those souls etc. She wouldn't think much of the latter as she knew it was a waste of time.
"I won't accept your apology. What you did is intended," she accused Naruto and he deflated at that.
"But if you promise me to train more, I'll forgive." She added after a small pause. He lifted his head to see a smiling Mira.
She didn't know whether he did anything else to prank her while she was asleep, but she knew Naruto wouldn't go that far for a prank.
She is confident that she learned a lot more about him during the job as they often end up in the room by the evening and he would give her some tips.
To put it simply, he just impressed her to the extent that she is willing to use the situation in her favour and spend more time with him instead of whacking him around.
He is just an enigma to her. He is her age, yet his experience is on a whole another level when compared to herself or even Erza.
She saw high respect in the eyes of the redhead which is rare as Erza is strong in her own right. She is trying to find what made the knight have such respect for the blonde but didn't find anything yet.
To gain such respect from her, he should have done something extraordinary but she couldn't find anything resembling such extraordinariness from him maybe his power.
She can still remember how he fought Gildarts to a standstill and they kept on increasing as time passed. But that isn't the only thing that garners that much respect from Erza. Or so she thought.
