Fairy Tail: I was transported to the wrong world and became a pirate
Chapter 7: Escaping the Village with Mira and the Other Two
call......
Hughes took a deep breath, then exhaled heavily...
Yes, she was just an ignorant 13-year-old girl who lost her parents at a young age and had to raise her younger siblings on her own.
"If you trust me, come with me. I know a place that can solve your problem."
Hughes met those blue eyes, his expression serious.
"Let's go to Magnolia Town and join Fairy Tail!"
After confirming that he had traveled to the world of Fairy Tail, Hughes decided to join the Fairy Tail guild.
Firstly, it's because of Makarov. He is not only powerful but also treats guild members like family, freely placing various spells in the library for guild members to learn unconditionally.
With Makarov, one of the "Ten Saints," protecting him, one can undoubtedly be much safer traveling in this world.
Secondly, it was because of Polyusica; Hughes wanted her to try and see if she could cure his mental illness.
Thales had been suffering from illness for a long time and desperately needed a good teacher.
……
The girl in the corner stared at Hughes with slightly helpless eyes for a long time, then looked at Elfman and Lisanna behind him, biting her lip, and finally tightened her cloak and stood up straight.
"We'll go with you!!"
She didn't want to see Elfman and Lisanna go through that kind of life because of her.
If it weren't for the person in front of her, Lisanna might have already left her. She would never allow such a thing to happen again.
Upon hearing Mira's response, the anxiety in the eyes of the two small figures behind Hughes vanished, replaced by determination.
"Then what are we waiting for? Pack your things and wait for me to come back!" Hughes said in a deep voice as he turned around.
Before leaving, he placed his hand on Elfman's head and said, "Kid, if you call me uncle again, I'll rip your underwear off."
"So what should we call you?" Lisanna asked curiously from the side.
"Dad...no, Hughes, you can call me Hughes or Brother Hughes!"
Hughes, who had already walked some distance away, waved his hand in response.
"Brother Hughes, hurry up and come pick us up!" Lisanna's soft voice drifted by, but unfortunately, Hughes was nowhere to be seen.
"Mira, did you see that? Hughes just unleashed a huge flame that drove everyone away from the village. He must have a way to make your arm grow back!"
Lisanna, who hopped in front of Mira, had hope in her bright blue eyes.
Mira's gaze lingered on her little face for a long time before she suddenly hugged her tightly.
"Lisanna, don't take such risks in the future." Mira's gentle voice came from her mouth, and tears welled up in her eyes.
"Mmm!" Lisanna squinted her eyes, a warm smile on her lips, and nodded emphatically.
"Mira, you can finally move on..."
......
On the other side, the villagers, who had been helping each other escape back to the village, stood there in a daze, ignoring their injuries, and stared at the village entrance.
A young man dressed in tattered blue and white striped clothes strode toward them, tossing a fireball in his palm into the air before it landed back in his hand, startling the villagers into cowering in fear.
"I have no interest in your petty squabbles. I'm heading to another town, but I'm out of food and money!"
As the voice faded, the fireball that Hughes had tossed into the air floated in front of them and then suddenly fell back down.
The villagers swallowed hard, took several steps back, and only then dared to look at the charred patches on the ground.
"I'm in a hurry, you have three minutes! I'll remember if anyone here doesn't give me their time."
Hughes's finger traced the dense crowd ahead; these were the people who had just threatened Mira and her siblings.
......
"My lord, they're all here..."
Village Chief Ed was sweating profusely as he humbly handed over two large bags of packages.
"You know what to say, right?" Hughes picked up the two bags and glanced at him with a sharp look.
Village Chief Ed nodded repeatedly: "A gift, this is a gift from the village to you, sir!"
Hughes nodded and slung the package over his shoulder, but for some reason, something unexpected happened during the process.
The package knocked out Village Chief Ed, who was lying unconscious on the ground. Hughes didn't even look at the unconscious village chief and left.
......
"Wow, you three are pretty quick!"
When Hughes returned to Mira and the other two's house, he saw that they had already packed up and were waiting for him, each carrying a package.
Hughes casually added the two packs he was carrying to Elfman.
As a man, one should shoulder the burden and move forward.
You ask why Hughes didn't carry it?
Oh, he has an excuse: what if the flames on his body burn the things!
"Keep a close eye on him, Elfman! You're a man, and if this money and food go missing, you'll be held responsible!" Hughes patted him on the shoulder, his tone devoid of any threat.
Overwhelmed, Elfman looked helplessly at Mira, who was bundled up tightly.
Mira frowned as she took over the burden that Hughes had placed on Elfman, her cloak spilling out as she moved.
A hand with sharp claws and a rough texture like dried tree bark came into Hughes's view. The hand was dark in color and covered with purple, eye-shaped crystals.
[Ding! "Oz the Demon" has been detected. Please challenge it!]
"Clang!"
Noticing that her arms were exposed, Mira instinctively loosened her grip on the two packages she had just received.
Her pretty face was lowered, and her whole body shrank back into the cloak like a quail. Her fair arms tightly gripped the demonized arm, hiding it deep inside the cloak.
The lighthearted atmosphere from just moments ago suddenly changed.
"You saw it all, didn't you? This devilish arm, you think you can just walk away like that?" Mira said in a low voice.
Before seeing her arm, the villagers were just as enthusiastic as he was, but after seeing it, they all fled in panic, and it was common for them to hurl insults at her.
Hughes could hear the fear, sorrow, and helplessness in her voice.
"Mira isn't a demon, she's never hurt anyone!" Lisanna and Elfman looked up at Hughes, their expressions slightly tense.
They were terrified that Hughes, like the other villagers, would change his attitude upon seeing Mira's arm and abandon them.
Hughes, who remained standing still, showed no sign of distress. He stepped forward and picked up the two packages from the ground.
"There's food in here. If it gets broken, you can have the broken parts, Mira!"
The package containing food was a bit heavier, so he placed it on top of the package behind Mira. The package containing money was lighter, so he tossed it directly to Elfman.
"I'm being fair, one for each person!"
Hughes placed his hand on Mira's lowered head, said nothing, and scratched her quite rudely through her cloak.
Mira's problem stems from her heart, and only a heart can heal a heart. Some things she has to overcome on her own; it's better to rely on herself than on others!
"Let's go, let's set off!!"
Hughes, who was traveling lightly, took the lead and strode with his long legs, his steps extremely arrogant.
"Hughes, wait for me!" Lisanna whispered to Mira, then smiled and hurried after her with her short legs.
Mira gripped the demon's arm even tighter, her fair and slender fingers turning bloodless from the force.
After struggling, she finally took a step out of her original spot, albeit a tiny one...
"Mira, you can do it!"
Elfman, who was at the very back, spoke in a low voice, his hands gripping the straps of his pack tightly, his face full of apprehension.
"We can't go back to the village anymore... Lisanna and I both hope you get better! We should go see that mage guild that Hughes mentioned."
Elfman's trembling, pleading voice made Mira tighten her grip on his fingers, as if she wanted to snap the demon's arm off.
She lowered her head and took a heavy step forward... two steps... three steps, slowly beginning to keep up with Lisanna's pace.
Elfman's furrowed brows relaxed, he wiped his face with his arm, a smile spreading across his face, and he followed closely behind Mira.
The sunlight ahead was perfect, casting dappled patterns of light through the sparse trees, while a gentle breeze blew behind, guiding one forward.
Everything is moving in a positive direction.
