NIP Chapter 178 Lucy, Heartfilia's Determination!
Chapter 178 Lucy, Heartfilia's Determination!
The time is approaching afternoon.
After finishing the final project today,
Luo Xingchen patted the dust on his palms.
"It's taking shape now." Looking at the huge frame in front of him.
Makarov also wiped the sweat from his forehead and nodded in satisfaction.
"Then, let's go here today, those two guys are already exhausted." Luo Xingchen looked at Natsu and Gray who were lying on the ground not far away.
"Okay, you guys also go back to rest early." Makarov agreed with Luo Xingchen's words.
Shaking his neck: "I have to drink two glasses of this old bone.
After speaking, Makarov turned to greet Macao and Waka.
The three left the construction site together.
"Gray, go." Luo Xingchen looked at Gray and shouted.
After all, both of them lived in the boys' dormitory, so they dropped by.
"Wait a minute, I'll be right here!
Gray responded.
nodded,
Luo Xingchen, who was about to wait on the spot, noticed a back that looked a little weak.
Think a little.
Luo Xingchen walked towards the figure.
"Loki, you're not doing well recently."
Luo Xingchen stopped Loki who was about to leave.
He looked up and down, frowning slightly.
I hadn't noticed before that Loki was much thinner now than a week ago.
Not as radiant as before.
The whole person looked very haggard.
Go on and say:
"Even the face is ugly.
"Ahaha, it's a star..." Looking at the person who came, Loki scratched the head of "Seven Four Three" with a smile.
Then he said: "No way, it is very hard to be an advocate of women's rights. 55
"Really?" Luo Xingchen narrowed his eyes slightly.
Hearing this, Loki felt a little guilty for no reason.
The right hand that scratched his head did not stop, and then said:
"Of course, you should have a deep understanding of this, after all, there are so many girls...
Loki's words stopped in Luo Xingchen's scrutiny eyes.
He bowed his head in embarrassment, as if thinking of something.
Immediately change the subject and say:
"By the way, I saw Erza and Mirajane go to see Lucy not long ago, didn't you go?"
"Lucy should be fine, and our boys are busy building the guild, so we don't have time to go." Luo Xingchen's eyes were still fixed on Loki.
replied.
"That's it...then there's nothing to do, I'll go first.
Feeling guilty, Loki turned around and took a sluggish step.
Ready to get out of here.
Looking at Loki's back, Luo Xingchen said softly:
"Is it about time?"
The inexplicable words made Loki instantly froze in place.
eyes widened,
He turned around and looked at Luo Xingchen who was holding his arms in front of him.
"You... already know?"
Luo Xingchen didn't speak, just nodded slightly.
Loki's guess was confirmed.
Helplessly smiled, Loki said bitterly: "Sure enough... everyone in the guild can't hide anything from you...
There was an unknown meaning in that bitter smile.
Like a star that is about to leave the sky.
"I can understand your feelings for not explaining to the guild members, but I just want to say one thing."
Luo Xingchen looked at Loki.
"Everyone is a companion, some things, there is no need to fight alone.
"Know... Fairy Tail will always be yours.
Luo Xingchen's words made Loki bow his head.
After a moment of silence, he slowly said, "Thank you, Xingchen, but this is my will and the only way for me to redeem myself..."
He pursed his lips and murmured softly:
"However, I am very happy to have a group of friends like you!"
"Really... thank you very much!"
After speaking, Loki turned his body and walked towards the distance.
That back is so lonely, like being isolated from the world...
Shaking his head helplessly, Luo Xingchen also turned around to leave.
In this matter, we still have to rely on Lucy's help.
"Not good!! Lucy is home!!"
Suddenly, Erza's exclamation came into Luo Xingchen's ears.
Heartfilia family.
Just the place to live is a huge manor that covers a town,
A man named Jude Heartfilia is the master here.
Also Lucy's father.
In Lucy's view, his father doesn't care about him at all.
Work seems to be the whole of his life.
Even on his birthday, that person still ignores him.
The rice balls he made for him can't let him take a look at him.
It even caused him to yell angrily.
for their own benefit,
Even those who hire ghosts to wage war on Fairy Tail.
This is the father in Lucy's eyes.
Cold, ruthless, cold-blooded!
Looking at the huge and magnificent building in front of him, Lucy still felt unfamiliar.
Even though she has lived here for more than ten years.
"Miss Lucy?!!"
Lucy's appearance immediately alerted Aunt Sbet who was cleaning the courtyard.
"what?!"
"Is the lady back? 55
"Miss Lucy!!
The servants who heard the shouts came out one after another.
They surrounded Lucy one by one, constantly booing and warm.
I am deeply afraid that my eldest lady will be wronged outside or something.
In that voice, the meaning of concern was very clear.
Lucy couldn't help but smile.
"Miss Lucy, my lord told you to go to the study to find him. Just when everyone was reminiscing.
A servant came up and said.
"Sure enough, the daughter who ran away from home just said [look for him in the study] when she came back, that person hasn't changed..."
Self-deprecating smile.
Lucy stepped towards the other mansion.
After changing her previous outfit, a gorgeous princess dress was worn on Lucy's body.
The nobility and elegance of Lucy.
It is hard to imagine that such a person not long ago,
Still someone who works hard for a month's rent.
Walking through the familiar and unfamiliar corridor, Lucy stopped in front of a door.
Taking a deep breath, he pushed open the door.
"You're finally back, Lucy." The door was heard opening.
The man in suit and leather shoes standing in front of the huge French window turned his head.
Seriously looked at Lucy.
"Father." Lucy stopped in front of Jiude.
"I left this house without saying anything before, it's my fault." Lucy said calmly.
"I can realize this with your personality, it seems that you have grown up." Jiu De nodded slightly.
"If you are still obsessed, I will continue to use my financial resources and power to destroy that guild mercilessly.
Lucy was silent.
"Your own willfulness will bring trouble to the people around you. This time is a lesson. I hope you can remember it well."
"You are the daughter of the Heartfilia family, and you are not in the same world as those people.
Looking at Lucy, Jude turned around again and looked out the window.
Said: "I came back to you this time because I negotiated a marriage contract for you."
"The other party is the young master of the Curainier family. The marriage between the two parties will bring unexpected benefits to the Heartfilia family's railway company."
"And..." His tone suddenly became stern.
"You have to have a son to inherit our Heartfilia family.
"That's all I have to say, go back to your room first."
After speaking, Jiu De stopped talking, and didn't even look back.
"Father..." Lucy, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke up.
"Please don't get me wrong! 35
"!!" The sudden words made Jiu De stunned.
He turned around and looked at Lucy behind him.
"I came back this time just to show you my determination!" Lucy looked at him straightly.
"It's my fault to leave the house without saying a word, because it's an escape in disguise..."
"So, this time I will tell you aboveboard, I am leaving this house! 55
"Lucy..." Jiude didn't seem to react.
"My destiny absolutely does not need you to help me decide!"
"I will go out of my own way! Please don't decide my marriage casually! 39
"And!" She glared at her father.
"You are not allowed to touch a single hair of Fairy Tail in the future!
She grabbed her dress with both hands...
stab
The gorgeous dress was torn apart by her.
"If you dare to attack Fairy Tail again, then I...and all the members of the guild will regard you as an enemy!"
She turned around and raised her hand with the Fairy Tail crest.
Seems to be saying goodbye.
"If you hadn't taken such an extreme move this time, maybe we could have communicated peacefully.
"But, it's too late, you've done great harm to my comrades."
"What I really need is neither money, nor clothes, nor an arranged destiny..."
"It's where I identify with who I am. 35
"Fairy Tail has become my other home, a home that is many times warmer than this one.
"Although I am sad to leave the home where I lived with my mother."
"Aunt Sbet, Grandpa Bello, Mr. Li Peng, Mr. Ed, I'm very reluctant to leave everyone..."
With her back to Jiude, she suddenly smiled, and the smile was very poignant.
"But...if my mother is still alive, I believe she will support me to do what I want to do...
This sentence made Jiu De stunned for a moment.
He seemed to see the figure of the long-dead wife on Lucy's body.
For a time, he couldn't speak.
"Goodbye, Dad!"
It is no longer the unfamiliar honorific title before, but a long-lost, friendly title that has been buried for a long time.
Layla Heartfilia.
Years X748-X777.
Lucy placed a bouquet of flowers in front of the tombstone.
Stand up, eyes closed, hands clasped together.
Praying softly.
“Lucy∼∼”
The sudden shout made Lucy open his eyes and turn his head.
Behind him, Luo Xingchen's figure came into view.
The excited "Happy" even jumped at Lucy.
Lucy said something and then calmed down the excited companions,
And explained the reason why he went home.
Let the misunderstood people slack for a while.
Seeing this, Luo Xingchen, Erza and Mirajane at the back smiled helplessly.
"Well, I'm so sorry for worrying everyone." On the way back.
Lucy apologized to everyone.
"Don't worry, we were too impatient," Erza said.
"Really, I thought my little valet was leaving, but it turned out to be a false alarm." Mirajane wrapped her arms around Lucy's neck.
"Looks like we're really busy worrying about it." Gray also shook his head helplessly.
""Happy" is still crying." Natsu looked at "Happy".
"Who... who cried?" "Happy" Tsundere shook his head.
"However, in future letters, try to write as clearly as possible, otherwise everyone will misunderstand 1.1." Luo Xingchen said.
"I'm really sorry..." Lucy sneered twice.
"However, having said that, this town is too big." Mirajane stretched and sighed with emotion.
"Isn't the idyllic green field very nice?" Erza said, admiring the surrounding scenery.
"Ah... No, this is our courtyard, and it's our home until the mountain in front." Lucy pointed to the mountain in the distance and said.
The voice just fell.
The crowd instantly froze in place.
"Ah? What's wrong with you?" Lucy wondered.
"Sure enough, Miss Qianjin!!
"It's a casual show off!!
Gray and Natsu raised their hands on the spot, their expressions broken.
"Natsu and Gray have both been defeated, so please say something to the three captains! "Happy" joked.
"Ah... the sky is so blue." Erza looked up at the sky in confusion.
"Um...um..." Mirajane nodded blankly.
"Love! Two captains have already broken down, so what about Captain Xingchen?" "Happy" immediately looked at Luo Xingchen.
"Looks like... I have to buy a villa or something, although it's not that big.
Seemingly made up his mind, Luo Xingchen looked serious.
"what!!!"
"There is still someone here showing off their wealth!!!"
