Chapter 493 - CH.473: Dragon Slayer.

( Yuuki's POV )

Upon accepting Natsu's challenge, I spun around and threw the boy away from me. Looking at the hand I used to stop Natsu's fist, I noticed a small burn mark, his attack didn't feel that powerful and it's strange that it hurt me; there must be something else at play here.

Natsu did a somersault in the air and landed on his feet, then he took a deep breath and his stomach inflated a little, it was very telegraphed that he was going to use a breath-type attack.

I opened my mouth slightly and an arctic breath escaped from it. Natsu spat out a burst of fire, and I released a cone of ice from my mouth that completely overpowered Natsu's attack.

Natsu: ugh Ice, this is nothing!

Yuuki: No, this is the end.

Before my ice could completely cover Natsu, he started throwing punches and kicks to break the ice, Large, sharp icicles flew all over the place, and with a snap of my fingers, those pieces of ice stood up in the air and then flew towards Natsu like guided missiles.

Natsu dodged that and then jumped into the air to throw another fire punch, I activated my bone tails and grabbed Natsu's arms and legs, While he was immobilized, I pointed a finger at Natsu and fired a powerful [Cero] then I aimed again so that my attack passed by Natsu's head.

Yuuki: That's my win.

///////////////////

After my fight against Elfman and Natsu, there were more who wanted a fight against me; certainly, the people of this guild are not shy about challenges.

Lisanna's sister kept the other guild members at bay, and we went back inside the building for a relatively calmer conversation.

???: Hey, hey, what kind of magic do you use?

I sat at a table with Lisanna's family; the other members went back to what they were doing before, and at the same time, they were not so secretly listening to our conversation.

A brown-haired girl wearing tight pants and a bikini top was bolder and took a seat next to me to ask what kind of magic I used.

Lisanna: Cana, you're ti close.

Cana: Are you afraid I'll steal your man?

Lisanna: With Yuuki, I'm worried that things might go the other way around.

Ignoring what Lisanna said, I thought about the question from the girl named Cana. Surely that's a question I'll hear a lot in this world, so it's best to think of a good answer.

Yuuki: I have elemental magic; I can create and control different states of energy or elements, including fire, water, ice, wind, lightning, earth, light, and darkness.

Cana: ooh I see, and what were those tails you used in the end?

Yuuki: yeah that, same magic as Lisanna, I can transform my body.

For a demonstration, I transformed one of my arms into a dragon's claw, and I create different elements at the tips of my claws.

Mirajane: Two different magics, that's not very normal.

Yuuki: That's not a word people use to describe me.

Cana: I bet not.

Yuuki: Speaking of magic, what kind of magic was that boy Natsu using?

Cana: Oh, that... Dragon-slaying magic.

Um that explains how he was able to hurt me.

Yuuki: Oh wow, and he's killed a lot of dragons?

Cana: What are you talking about? There haven't been any dragons around for a long time.

Lisanna: Well, this has been fun, but we have to go; we have a mission to accomplish.

Mirajane: You have to leave so soon?

Yuuki: I have a few days before I take on my next big mission. I'll definitely come back again. We're family now.

Mirajane: right, it almost doesn't feel real that my little sister is married.

After that short but memorable visit to the Fairy Tail guild, we returned to our own guild, I asked Lisanna what name they chose for that guild and her answer was Silver Feather, and our symbol Sekirei was the mark of this guild, oh and Eu was the guild master, the reason being that she was the strongest and a non-fighter.

Yuuki: That mission you spoke of, this is the clue to the puppeteer you mentioned.

Lisanna: Yes, there have been a number of disappearances in small towns, the strange thing is that nobody reported those disappearances.

Yuuki: So how do you know about that?

Lisanna: An old man came straight to our guild asking for help, he said someone had kidnapped his granddaughter to sell her.

Yuuki: a little extreme, why does he think that?

Lisanna: Other young girls disappeared, and their families then moved to a larger city shortly after, acting as if nothing had happened.

Yuuki: That's super suspicious.

When we arrived at our guild, the other girls were already ready to leave, so we didn't waste any time.

////////////////////

Our client's village no longer had any young women who could be targets for whoever is behind this operation, so we set up surveillance in several villages around it.

To cover more ground we split into groups; Lisanna and Matabei were with me, we were observing the village with magic binoculars bought in this world and radars created by us.

Things were very calm, until night fell.

Lisanna: Yuuki, what did you think of Cana? Did you like that she was sticking close to you?

Yuuki: ...Isn't that how she always is? I felt like she was just playing around.

Lisanna: Um, maybe, but you didn't try to push her away.

Yuuki: That would be rude... Are you upset?

Lisanna: Of course not.

At the guild, Lisanna didn't seem to mind that Cana was friendly with me, but after she asked me about what happened, she went silent, Matabei was behind us and was visibly uncomfortable with our conversation.

Lisanna: ...What did you think of my sister? You know she's the most beautiful woman in Fiore.

Yuuki: I mean, she's cute, but are you saying that because she's your sister?

Lisanna: No, it's official.

Yuuki: Who decided that?

Lisanna: The most popular fashion magazine in Fiore. I don't read it much, but they obviously know what they're talking about.

Yuuki: um maybe I'll have to buy a copy of that magazine.

Julie: [ Yuuki. We found the enemy. ]
