Chapter 355 Awakening, Erza's Lap Pillow
After forcibly summoning Exodia by burning his life force, Chase's consciousness fell silent.
He didn't know what happened next, whether his companions had returned to the guild safely, or even whether he was truly dead.
He probably survived by sheer luck?
In the faint, indistinct air, Chase caught a glimpse of the cool breeze flowing through the air.
The wind was warm and full of life, like parched earth being nourished by rain. His consciousness began to awaken, and his senses began to become clear.
Even his broken body, which had been drained of magic, was rapidly recovering, and the pain that had torn his entire body disappeared without a trace.
Chase moved his head, feeling as if he were resting his head on something warm, not particularly soft, but quite comfortable.
Wait, what happened to my friends after that?!
Chess was jolted awake. The moment he opened his eyes, he saw an enormous shadow that covered most of the vast, clear sky.
Even if you go to that extent, you still can't defeat that damned god?!
Almost instinctively, Chase tensed his muscles and went into battle mode, suddenly sitting up from the comfortable object.
Then, a crisp "thump" sound, signifying a good start, lingered and echoed through the dense forest.
"Ouch—it hurts!"
Chase gasped, clutching his head, then froze, "Wait, what's with this familiar feeling of collision?"
"Chess, you're awake?" A voice filled with barely concealed joy reached my ears.
Looking up, I saw Erza, dressed in her usual armor, sitting under a tree in a duck-like posture. Her fair and flawless thighs, under her light blue short skirt, shone brightly in the sunlight in the forest.
On the skin, which has become firm from years of exercise, there is still a clearly visible pillow mark.
So that comfortable feeling I just felt was actually Erza's lap pillow?
The enormous shadow covering half the sky was Erza, blushing furiously under his gaze. She waved her hands frantically, explaining, "I...I...I...I didn't mean to have Chase all to myself! I just...I just thought this way Chase would wake up faster, since Wendy said you're in great shape!"
"Yes, that's all!!"
Seeing her flustered and shy appearance, Chess's tense nerves completely relaxed.
The lack of overly somber expressions and reactions suggests that everyone else is probably alright.
Having confirmed this, he then began to look around at his surroundings.
A primeval forest where green and yellow meet, a babbling brook, and a lurking monster waiting to strike.
Everything is so familiar!
Chase frowned slightly and looked at Erza, wanting to confirm further.
"Ah~ the sky is so blue, and the breeze is so refreshing~ Chase, have you had dinner yet?"
Erza is probably overheating and has started talking nonsense.
Hey, it's just a lap pillow, why make such a big deal out of it?
Where is your fairy queen charm?!
Chase couldn't help but mentally launch into a Lucy-esque rant.
But thinking about it the other way around, Erza seems to act this way in front of someone she likes, and that person is herself.
That's fine.
In fact, even if Erza were in a "non-communicable" dead state right now, he could probably guess where he was.
The Fairy Tail crest on his right arm was shimmering faintly, and a continuous stream of magic power was gathering from all directions, nourishing his body, which should have been riddled with holes.
Only Sirius Island could have such a miraculous effect.
Or to be more precise, it's Sirius Island before the Sirius Tree collapsed!
This is probably the fundamental reason why he was able to survive after burning his life force—he did not use the Resurrection of the Dead method.
The situation was too urgent at the time; summoning the Dark Archmage had exhausted all our resources, and we simply didn't have the extra strength to activate this card.
Even if that condition were met, it probably wouldn't have much effect on Ankhserium, and might even have the opposite effect.
Being entangled with that thing is no good, even though it seems like we've already been targeted.
However, compared to the Dark Archmage, the temptation of "playing with life" was obviously much greater for Ankhseram!
So how did the Sirius Tree, which had clearly exhausted its energy and collapsed completely, inexplicably return to its original state?
Just as Chase was a little confused about the situation, a commotion suddenly came from the bushes not far away, and then a figure rushed out.
Chase unconsciously slid out a card, but after seeing who it was, he quickly put it away.
thump.
The person crashed heavily into his arms, their long white hair swaying gently in the breeze, carrying a faint fragrance.
The girl didn't speak, but buried her face in Chase's chest, her hands tightly gripping the hem of his shirt at his waist.
"Mira, you're alright too, that's great," Chase said softly.
These words seemed to touch a nerve in Mira, instantly turning the usually calm woman into an agitated one, causing her to raise her small fists and frantically pound on Chase's chest.
"Are you an idiot?!"
"It's clearly Chase who's impulsive and willful, it's clearly Chase who carelessly throws away his life, it's clearly me who should be worried and concerned!!"
"Chase, please, don't—don't do that stupid thing again—"
The hammering motions gradually slowed, and the sobbing voice grew weaker and weaker.
In the end, Mira broke down in tears.
In that situation, this was the only way to defeat Ankseram and protect everyone.
Chess wanted to explain it that way, but after feeling the girl in his arms trembling with fear, he couldn't bring himself to say the words.
He reached out and hugged Mira tighter to soothe her emotions.
"While that kind of Chase is very handsome, I also—really hate him."
Erza had somehow returned to normal, leaning weakly against the tree trunk, her eyelids drooping, her right hand gripping her left arm tightly.
She remembered when she first woke up, the first thing she saw when she opened her eyes was Chess lying next to her, covered in blood.
The pain and despair brought about by that visual impact were countless times more intense than Acnologia's roar or the descent of the five gods.
It felt as if the whole world had collapsed!
Like Mira, she absolutely refused to experience it a second time, not even if it meant death!
"I'm sorry to have worried you."
Chess couldn't think of a better way to express his apology than to apologize.
"There really is one, oh no, there really is two! (curls tongue)"
Harpy's voice suddenly rang out, breaking the slightly heavy atmosphere.
Immediately afterwards, one after another, familiar faces filled with the expression of watching the drama unfold emerged from the bushes, with Makarov, who was in the lead, even having sunflower seed crumbs stuck to the corner of his mouth.
They returned unharmed, almost with Mira, and then hid themselves away in perfect unison.
"You actually hugged Mira instead of Erza, that's really awful, Chess~" Lucy said with a cheeky grin.
I was thinking of taking this opportunity to tease Chase, as a small revenge for his lack of respect for his own life.
Unexpectedly, the card player didn't play by the rules at all, and used his right hand to pull the bewildered Erza into his arms.
"And now?" Chase asked with a smile, holding the two S-class beauties from Fairy Tail.
"Hey Chess, what are you doing? Let me go right now!" Erza transformed into Steam Girl again.
"Oh dear, if Erza doesn't want to, I won't be polite~" Mira also reverted to her cunning side, hugging Chase even tighter.
"You, you, you, you! You're despicable! I won't lose!"
Erza decided to go all out and tilted her head back, ramming it into Chess's chest.
The heavy impact nearly made Chase, who had just recovered, cough up blood.
Lucy's mouth twitched wildly after eating two mouthfuls of dog food.
I miscalculated; I completely forgot that this cheap older brother of mine has an exceptionally thick skin!
"Wow, how daring, Chess!" Wendy blushed.
"Lord Gray, Juvia wants to give you a hug too~"
"You bastard, don't come any closer!"
"Hey Xia Lulu, we want one too!"
"What's it to you, you damn tomcat? If you want to be in heat, go find Lili!"
Lili: "???"
