Chapter 115: Side Quest – Love & Lucky (1)

~Silva K. POV~

Helping Simon leave I began to observe the new items I got from the side quest reuniting him with Kagura.

Hope they have a good reunion after time apart.

Now then…

Getting the Wado Ichimonji out it's certainly a beautiful blade glancing at it. The sword has a pure-white hilt with a circular handguard. The sheath is painted white, and the hardening line is suguha or straight blade.

In descriptive terms, Wado Ichimonji is a Shinogi Zukuri style Katana that has a traditional yet still stunning pure-white ito wrapped around a gray samegawa covering the tsuka (hilt), leaving a traditional diamond-shaped pattern.

The end has a nice, simplistic kashira of the same color as the tsuba. The tsuba, or crossguard, also conveys a harmony of simplicity: It consists of a rounded oval thick tsuba from which the blade goes through, in a nice metallic golden color. To convey the beautiful simplicity of this blade once again, the colors of the edge are divided in perfect equality.

The inner bo-hi is a deep black, while the outer ha, or edge, is a shining white. The blade curves slightly towards the end, with a stunning sharp tip that cuts through foes. The sheath represents a peaceful harmony, being completely white with a modest kojiri at the end.

Truly a masterpiece of a blade.

Then the rainbow-colored Lacrima of the Warrior certainly has a nice look and stats boost with the ability.

<Observe >.

Smiling happily at this I couldn't help but wonder if I'm doing any good.

Like changing the plot of what I just did saving Simon and Ur would cause a big butterfly effect or am I simply being over paranoid or nothing?

Just as I was wondering about the purpose of messing with canon events, I managed to see Lucy coming around.

Must have returned from the Guild to prepare for a job or –

Huh?

Squinting my eyes lightly focusing on my senses as I act normally listening to a conversation between her and a hobo carefully till my eyes widen slightly who it was, "It's me! Your daddy!!!"

…

Not the words I would use but I digress listening to Lucy's shock to him, "You're lying… What are you here for…?! Wait first… what's with the clothes? What happened to you?"

Listening for a bit I learned that Lucy's father losing his business is sad.

But when I sensed a spike in emotion with <Magic Sense> I could hear the man yelling at her causing me to react heading towards the source, "Large amounts?!! I'm talking about a measly ten grand!!! You're my daughter! You should be able to cough that much on the spot!!! Money!!! Here I am swallowing my pride and asking nicely!!!! I'm lowering myself to this!!!! So, do your duty –"

Interrupting the man as I make my presence known glaring at Lucy's father in a calm tone directing it to him, "What duty? Lucy is this man causing you some trouble? Want me to do something about it?"

Her eyes widened seeing me but trembled a bit before calming down trying to de-escalate the situation in a firm tone, "No need. Thanks for coming but I have it covered. He's just leaving… aren't you…"

Her tone has some steel in it with me glaring at the man causing him to stiffen up as he turns away and leaves causing Lucy to tear up at what occurred clenching her fist, "He's the worst! Absolutely the worst!!"

Giving her some space to calm down concerned for her state letting her have some time to cool off I couldn't help but ask in a curious tone, "Are you fine Lucy? Did that creep hobo say anything to make you upset?"

Taking her moment to recompose herself she replied in a tired tone after wiping the tears off her face, "No. No, I'm fine. And that creep hobo you referred to was my father."

My eyes widen 'acting' in shock at the news gazing between her and the direction her father went as she told me to leave the situation be, "Silva can we drop the whole thing with my Father please…"

Reluctant I nodded in understanding scratching the back of my head as I replied to her in a calm tone, "Very well. If you need any help or any means of travel, I'm merely a room away if you need assistance."

She thanked me for offering the opportunity saying she has a job with Natsu Group to help her with rent I nodded in understanding parting ways while I began to walk down.

Guess everyone has some family issues they must deal with.

While walking down as the sun set on the horizon observing the change of the day soon becoming night witnessing such a pretty sight.

Oh right.

I have another Replica at the ready and this time I'm going to create Lancer this time around considering I have plenty of Spears for him to use. Better head to the Magic Store to see if they have any Magic Armor in stock that are lightweight.

[Ding!]

[October 23, X784]

~Third POV~

Later tomorrow in early noon Lucy appeared at the scheduled time per Natsu's request to find a job he yells happily seeing her come with the news helping her out, "Lucy! We got a job! Let's go!!"

Lucy half heartfully smiles at this responding to Natsu's words, "Oh… yeah…"

*Flip*

While Natsu and Happy are talking about what job Gray comes in to reveal the job in question to be a bounty request paper in a happy tone, "This! An escapee. We're going to recapture Velveno."

Happy looked a bit surprised commenting about the guy in question, "I've heard of him. He's known as Velveno the Guild Hunter. You know where he is?"

Natsu on the other hand smirked at the challenge at hand excited to fight the guy with his unique Magic, "Whoooooa! I hear his magic's incredible! I'm all fired off!!"

Erza soon joins the conversation intrigued by her friend's choice asking to join, "Oh? I see you lot are doing well. Don't mind if I joined as well?"

Gray blinks in surprise before nodding in agreement having Erza join while commenting about her previous request, "Sure. My Master Ur is on a visiting trip to Lyon's Guild and practice regaining her Magic Power. Although didn't you along with the other girls have a previous request?"

Erza nods confirming this as she explains what happened during the events of the past week in a calm tone, "Oh that. Well, Makarov deemed it safe for him to be alone on request. Juvia is spending her time around the guild to get better relationships with the members as well as Gajeel. Mira is spending her time in the Guild helping others or on rare times sparring with Elfman or Silva sometimes even me."

Gray nods at this while Natsu snickers happily at the news of Mira regaining her powers again, "Man! Mira gaining her power again huh? Makes me want to challenge her for old time's sake!!"

Happy shakes his head talking to himself out loud recalling his losses against Mira in her Satan Soul form, "Poor Natsu. He must have had head damage from Mirajane beating some sense into his head."

Regardless Erza returns to their prior conversation already talking to the group with a happy smile on her face, "Putting aside Natsu mental state the reward should be about 400,000J each fairly. You can pay for your rent, Lucy."

Lucy smiles happily at the news and Erza joins along for the mission in a cheerful tone, "Yay!! That's about 6 months' worth! Let's do it!"

Just as the group was about to depart Lucy's ears managed to hear a conversation about certain events unfolding making her freeze in her tracks.

She pauses to listen in to other guild members conversing with each other making Lucy overhear their conversation.

"Hey, did you hear about Akarifa?"

"You mean how some violent gang holed themselves up in the Enterprise Guild there?"

"Yeah, scary stuff!"

"No… it ain't a gang. It's the Dark Guild Naked Mummy."

"You're kidding!!"

"Then not even the army could face 'em!"

Lucy's friends try to get her attention but, in her mind, concern flashes on her face thinking to herself in a concerned tone, 'Father… I don't care what happens to a creep like him… He and I are nothing to each other now… He's that kind of man but even so, I must go save him!!!!'

Rushing towards the other guild members demanding some answers about where Akarifa is located and once she did set off on her own to the location.

While storming off with her friends following with some concern on their faces Silva leisurely takes a sip from his mug of juice seeing the events unfold thought to himself, 'I see that Lucy is about to deal with the Dark Guild herself. Time to lend a very neighborly hand in her time of need. And for a few items.'

*Thud*

*Shiii*

Placing his mug down he soon vanished in a flash of purple light using Shambhala to leave already heading towards Akarifa ahead of time.

While the main cast left to go do their own business Kagura and Simon both finally arrived at Magnolia Town he spoke to Kagura in a happy voice, "Alright Kagura. Where here in Magnolia Town hopefully you would thank Erza for saving you all those years ago."

Kagura nods after reuniting with her brother discussing his life as a slave to the present she personally wants to meet with Erza and the group that saved him from the Tower of Heaven.

She personally wanted to meet with Erza Scarlet after her memory finally recalled about a scarlet hair girl saving her as she smiled humbly at the news, "Of course Onee-chan. I want to personally thank the girl who saved my life from the child hunt and her friends for helping you in your time of need. It's only the polite thing to do."

Simon nods happily as they begin to sightsee around Magnolia Town waiting for the group to return soon if they miss the chance while enjoying the chance to be together like brother and sister.
