"..."
Faced with such an intimate address, a blush appeared on Mirajane's cheeks, but she didn't refute it.
After all, becoming Elfman's brother-in-law was only a matter of time.
"Brother-in-law... parallel world... sister..."
Elfman felt like his brain wasn't working, and he kept repeating the previous words.
My head itches so much...
"Don't get hung up on that. We mean no harm. We're just here to find someone."
Roland revealed the golden emblem printed on his shoulder, showing him the mark of a guild member.
At that moment, the treehouse behind Elfman suddenly became chaotic, and then three people walked out from the guild, looking at the two of them warily.
But when they saw Mirajane, the few of them couldn't help but be stunned.
"There's another Mira across from us?"
"It must be a transformation item. They're trying to trick the guild members out by turning into Mira!"
"Damn it, this Royal Army is so despicable and shameless!"
"Um... it's really me!"
Mirajane explained helplessly, but her voice was quickly drowned out by angry curses.
Troy, Jet, and Lu... Lucy?
Noticing the blonde girl, Roland's eyes couldn't help but widen, a look of surprise on his face.
No, why has the Edolas Lucy joined the guild?
He remembered that in the other world—Earth Land—there was still about half a year before the start of the story.
"Jet, Troy, and... a girl I don't know?"
Mirajane also recognized the two comrades across from her, but when she saw Lucy, a trace of doubt flashed in her watery blue eyes.
"She's probably a new member of the guild. It's a parallel world, after all."
Roland explained.
While the two were talking, the three people on the other side had taken out their weapons and surrounded them with unfriendly expressions.
Clearly, he and Mirajane had been mistaken for lackeys of the empire.
In that case—
"Knightwalker, these fairies are all yours!" Roland shouted with a slight smile, then reminded her, "Remember to go easy on them. Don't kill them."
"Tch, give me my weapon first."
From the nearby forest, Knightwalker walked out with a cold expression, then extended her hand toward him, wanting her Ten Commandments Spear back.
"I'll give it to you after you've defeated them."
"..."
Knightwalker glanced at him, then walked silently toward the three people who were now showing looks of panic.
"That's... the Fairy Hunter?!"
Cold sweat dripped down Troy's forehead, and his hands holding his weapon trembled uncontrollably.
What a joke, we just moved to a new location three days ago!
"Damn it, how did they catch up so fast—Jet, hurry and tell Levy to activate the teleportation magic circle!"
Lucy suppressed the panic in her heart and ordered loudly.
"So noisy, you lot."
Knightwalker's gaze gradually turned fierce. The long-suppressed emotions in her heart instantly erupted as she clenched her fists and charged forward.
Even without her Ten Commandments Spear, her well-trained body could easily take care of this group of fairies.
In less than two minutes, the three of them were lying on the ground in a pathetic state, not a single spot on their bodies left unscathed.
"Hmph, not running away this time?"
Erza grabbed Lucy's long, golden hair and lifted her up, a cruel smile on her face.
This bunch—if it weren't for them, I wouldn't have ended up in this situation.
"Didn't I tell you to go easy on them, Knightwalker?"
Roland squatted in front of Jet and Troy, looking at the two who were subconsciously covering their heads, and couldn't help but say.
"Shut up. I did go easy on them. And call me Erza!"
Perhaps realizing that she couldn't escape his control, Knightwalker was slowly resigning herself to her fate and retorted coldly.
If it weren't for the constraints of the Slave Contract, she would have long since cut the three people she had been chasing for half a year into pieces.
"You dare talk back? Tonight, your punishment is to pleasure yourself in front of me!"
Thud—
"Ouch!!"
As his voice fell, Knightwalker's expression instantly darkened. She directly threw Lucy in her hand, causing her to let out a cry of pain as she was caught off guard.
"That's too rough, Erza!"
Mirajane couldn't help but shout, helping Lucy up from the ground with a pained expression and gently patting the dust off her.
"Are you okay?"
"I'm... okay."
Lucy clutched the back of her head in pain. Looking at the gentle-looking Mirajane, she couldn't help but feel a sense of daze.
This person is so much like the Mira in the guild...
Could it be that the empire's new disguise magic items can even disguise a person's personality?
"This should be enough to prove our sincerity, right?"
Roland summoned two Shadowkhan ninjas, who dragged up the fallen Jet and Troy, and suggested with a light laugh.
"How about we go into the guild to rest for a bit, and then have a good chat?"
"..."
Looking at the captured Jet and Troy, Lucy fell into a brief silence.
Besides accepting, did she have any other choice?
...
Inside the treehouse guild.
Unlike the noisy guild in the original world, the guild here was much quieter.
"...There's no hope left!"
"Damn it, even the three strongest in the guild have failed..."
"I say we should just fight them to the death!"
As soon as he walked into the guild, Roland heard various arguments, and the air was filled with an atmosphere of suppression and despair.
"Good afternoon, everyone!"
Roland greeted them with a smile.
Mirajane also poked her head out from behind him, curiously sizing up the parallel world's guild.
Gray wearing thick clothes, a thin and irritable Reedus, Makao wearing glasses and looking very gentlemanly, Levy fixing a machine with a wrench, and behind the bar, with a sad face... Lisanna?
Seeing her counterpart, Mirajane's expression couldn't help but become a little strange.
She didn't know if it was her imagination, but she felt like her counterpart's personality hadn't changed at all.
"Sis...?"
At that moment, an incredulous murmur was heard. A girl with short, white hair stood there in a daze, the cup in her hand slipping and falling to the floor.
It can't be... why is my sister in this world?
"Lisanna?"
The sound of the shattering cup drew everyone's attention. Mirajane also saw her long-dead sister and her eyes slowly widened.
At the same time, Roland also received a notification that the mission was complete.
[Mission One: A Long-Awaited Reunion (Complete!)]
[Mission Description: Please help Mirajane and Lisanna reunite!]
[Mission Reward: Zanpakuto Sode no Shirayuki (from the world of "Bleach")]
"...Huh?"
Roland blinked in a daze.
