Of course, it may also be because she was dumped by her boyfriend, and she would vent her anger on Lucy from time to time.
Therefore, whenever she saw Aquarius, Lucy always felt that her butt was burning with pain.
Aquarius ignored Lucy, and instead focused her gaze on Brandish.
Because the attack just now was not intended to hurt her, but only to knock her back.
Therefore, Brandish didn't have any injuries.
Getting up from the ground, her eyes flickered slightly, and fine beads of sweat oozed out on her forehead.
"Long time no see, Brandish." Aquarius smiled slightly.
Seeming extremely amiable.
"Does Aquarius know her?" Lucy on the side asked.
"Didn't she say it? My key was once given to her mother." Aquarius responded.
Seeming to recall things from the past.
The smile on her face became even more bright.
"We used to play together often, right, Brandish."
"..."
Brandish secretly swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and didn't dare to say anything.
Ting! Ting! Ting!
The veins on Aquarius's forehead suddenly bulged.
Feeling unhappy with Brandish's attitude, she directly shouted loudly: "Hey! I said, aren't you going to answer? Brat!"
Cold sweat instantly fell from Brandish's cheeks like raindrops.
Her originally always indifferent face instantly turned into panic: "I... I'm sorry... Master..."
"Ma... Master? Eh?!" Lucy widened her eyes, and she even started to suspect that there was something wrong with her ears.
Was this really Brandish, one of the Spriggan 12, the Destroyer of the Nation?
Lucy expressed deep doubt.
Smack!
Aquarius didn't have any patience, and she grabbed Brandish's cheeks, constantly kneading them up and down, and a cold smile hung on the corner of her mouth:
"You've actually grown into such a personality distorted woman, no man will want you like this!"
"Ugh~~ Master... is right..."
Brandish could only respond intermittently because her mouth was being pinched.
"Uh..." Lucy unconsciously opened her mouth wide.
"I really want to see you bark like a dog now, what should I do?" Aquarius touched her chin, and seemed to have thought of something very interesting.
"Woof Woof" Out of the instinct deep in her memory.
Brandish immediately imitated it in a very similar way.
Aquarius nodded in satisfaction, and reached out to stroke Brandish's head: "Very good, you're a good girl."
"..." Lucy felt that it seemed that not only her ears were broken.
Even her eyes seemed to have broken too.
"What should I do... I can't seem to keep up with them..." Lucy, who was alone and disoriented on the side, retorted silently.
————————
After Aquarius had made a fuss for a while, she finally stopped her demonic behavior.
And her eyes looked at Brandish: "I am your master, and Lucy is my holder, you should understand what this means, Brandish?"
"Even so..." Brandish clenched her fists.
And she raised her head, and her eyes stared straight at Lucy with hatred: "Even so, I can't forgive Layla for killing my mother!"
Aquarius sighed, and slowly opened her mouth: "Lucy isn't Layla, right, and Layla didn't kill Grami either."
She opened her hands: "I came here to explain the truth."
"No, it should be said that I came here to show you the truth!"
Brilliant golden magic power gradually wrapped Aquarius, and a strange brilliance instantly spread out and enveloped the entire infirmary.
In the next second, Lucy and Brandish discovered that, the hospital bed, the floor, and even the entire infirmary had disappeared.
Replaced by a starry sky that couldn't be seen to the end.
"This is the Star Memory, it's the memory archive woven by the celestial spirits, and everything that's verified here is true." Aquarius behind them answered the two's doubts.
She turned her body around, and waved her hand casually.
A huge light curtain appeared in front of them, and what was performed in the light curtain was the cause and result of this matter.
————————
The cause of the matter was a celestial spirit mage named Anna Heartfilia.
And she was Lucy's ancestor, a great celestial spirit mage.
Four hundred years ago, the Black Wizard and the dragons and the celestial spirit mages carried out a certain plan.
That was the plan to send the warriors who had hope of defeating Acnologia to the future.
And the magic used to go to the future was the Eclipse Gate.
Anna opened the entrance to the gate four hundred years ago.
And the descendants of the Heartfilia family, that is, Layla's generation, opened the exit to the gate.
But opening the gate required the twelve zodiac keys.
At that time, Grami, who was in charge of the Aquarius key, had already sailed far to the Western Continent, and it was impossible to contact her at all.
Leading to the lack of the Aquarius key.
Layla used her own life force to supplement this lacking magic power.
And Layla also suffered from severe magic power deficiency because of this.
When Grami learned of this matter, it was already seven days later.
Grami, who was deeply mired in self-blame, believed that she was no longer qualified to hold the Aquarius key.
So she voluntarily returned the key to Layla.
Although Layla was no longer able to use magic, Grami still hoped to hand the key over to the young Lucy.
She believed that Lucy would definitely be able to become a celestial spirit mage like Layla when she grew up.
Layla finally accepted Grami's opinion.
And she hoped that Lucy could become friends with Brandish in the future.
Just like she and Grami.
Although their identities were different, the friendship that was recognized from the bottom of their hearts was indestructible.
Bearing the self-blame, Grami said goodbye to Layla, and she originally planned to take Brandish back to the Ishgar continent, but she was assassinated halfway by Zoldeo, who was also a servant.
At that time, Zoldeo, who was still loyal to Layla, believed that it was all Grami's fault that Layla had become like this.
And Grami didn't resist either, she also thought that this was her retribution, and only prayed to use her life to protect her daughter Brandish.
The Star Memory ended here.
Witnessing everything, Brandish, who was almost on the verge of collapsing, was directly hugged by Lucy.
Lucy could feel Brandish's tears.
Just as warm as the tears she shed.
"Can we still become friends again now?"
"Just like mom and them!"
The blonde girl softly extended an invitation, just as Layla had said, she also hoped that the friendship of the previous generation could reappear in this generation.
Brandish didn't respond, but her originally trembling hands gently embraced Lucy's back.
Looking at the two girls who were embracing each other.
Aquarius raised a smile slightly, and murmured softly: "Layla-sama... perhaps they can really become friends..."
Bang————!!
Just then, the tightly closed door was suddenly pushed open.
"Is anyone here?"
"Help! Natsu suddenly stopped moving, please save him!"
Happy, who was crying, rushed in with Natsu, who had already lost consciousness...
