3 days Later, Era
This time it took them just 3 days to reach Era as Mira has improved so much in the last 4 weeks. They landed at the entrance of the Magic Council HQ. Mira looked around with a cold look.
"What did they do?" Asked Naruto, suspecting some kind of bad blood between the Magic Council and the She-Devil.
"They thought they could command me and I showed them I won't bow to anyone," she said with a wide smile. Naruto nodded in amusement.
As they walked to the Magical Armoury, where they need to submit the Lacrima stock, Mira noticed how everyone would move aside or bow to them and observed that they showed that respect to Naruto, which she didn't expect.
"What did you do to get their respect?" She asked, unable to hold her curiosity.
"Ah, Hunter Naruto. It's been some time, how are you doing?" Asked a large man whom Mira didn't know.
"Chairman Seam. I'm doing well. I'm on a job actually," clarified Naruto and Seam nodded in understanding.
"Who is this young lady?" Asked Seam, gesturing to Mira.
"This is Mirajane Strauss, my partner in this job,"
"Mira, this is Crawford Seam, Chairman of the Magic Council," introduced Naruto. Mira didn't remember this rotund man being the Chairman when she was called.
She nodded to him awkwardly, while Seam also returned the gesture cooly. "You may be called soon as there are some concerning circumstances," said Seam and left the pair.
As soon as they turned the corner, Mira rounded on the blonde. "What is that? Why are all these people acting as if you were well known here and that fatty talking about Hunter thing?"
"I'll explain later. Come, let's go and collect our reward," said Naruto as they entered the reward collection centre after submitting the stock of Lacrima in the Armoury.
They were given a slip with the stamp 'Completed' on the job Flyer. They walked in while an assistant is recording everything.
"Name, Job," asked the assistant in a monotone. But as soon as it laid eyes on Naruto, it stood and gave a salute.
"It's been long, Hunter Naruto. What can I do for you?"
"I'm here to collect the reward for this job," said Naruto, putting the job request flyer on the table.
He verified the flyer and the stamps on it. After being satisfied, he stamped a 'Paid' on it.
"Here, sir. The Board was overjoyed, they increased your reward to 25 Million Jewels," said the assistant, putting a large bag on the table.
Naruto nodded and lifted it without much effort and walked out of the Magic Council HQ with a starry-eyed Mira.
Naruto was pulling her as she got lost in her thoughts as soon as she heard the amount of money they received.
As soon as they reached outside of the building, Naruto turned to her. "I'm tired. Let's finish this," said Naruto in a serious one and extended his hand.
Mira was still in dreams and gave her hand absentmindedly. The next thing she felt was like going through the worst roller coaster standing in front of the coater. As soon as her feet touched the ground, she felt like puking.
"Here, your share of 12.5 Million Jewels. I'll see ya tomorrow in the Guildhall," said Naruto, vanishing again. Mira was so lost to see where she was.
The feeling of nausea increased as she tried to turn around. When another body slammed into her, her mind settled in to see a familiar mop of white hair.
"Big sis, you are back," said Lisanna as she hugged Mira tightly.
"Yes, Lisanna. That bastard. I'll kill him," muttered Mira, confusing Lisanna.
"What happened, big sis?"
"Nothing. It's just Naruto. He did it again," said Mira. Though Lisanna didn't understand, she nodded.
"How is the job? Did you see anything cool? Where did you go?" Asked Lisanna rapidly.
"I'll answer everything, let's go in," said Mira, ruffling Lisanna's hair. She took the bag of money and walked into their house, Lisanna following behind excitedly.
With Naruto
Though he could have teleported to Era, he chose to test how much Mira improved and flew with her. She had improved well.
'That would be enough for Gramps to spar with me,' thought Naruto as he walked into his house.
"Yo," he yelled, walking into his house. Sirius was talking to the clone while Loke was to the side, deep in thought.
Unknown Location
In an Airship in an unknown location, two figures can be seen talking about something serious.
"So he completed an SS-Class job with the Demon?" Asked Hades, stroking his long beard.
"Yes, Master Hades. I was in Victoria the whole time and he completed it without much effort. It even looked easy to any onlookers," reported Ultear.
She was following Naruto around as that was her new mission from Hades as the old Master didn't like this unknown factor Naruto.
"What else can you report?" Asked Hades.
"I don't know how, but there seems to be an unexpected situation in the Pergrande Empire. I think they detected low Magic concentration or something like that," explained Ultear.
"You did well, Ultear. Continuing your observations and report from time to time. You can leave," said Hades and Ultear left with a bow.
'Why do I feel that there is a connection between Naruto and events in Pergrande Empire?' Thought Hades in deep thought.
And Cut
Don't forget to suggest to me the techniques of Mangekyou Sharingan you like Naruto to have and if they are good, they might be given to Naruto.
Tell me what you think in your reviews and PMs. See you all in the next chapter.
Any suggestions are welcome.
