Castlevania of the Pigeons from Fairy Tail

Chapter 64 Aqua's Memory
This woman wants my Aquarius key?

Lucy took a step back, her hands tightly guarding the bunch of star keys at her waist.

Some are golden, some are silver, and when they collide with each other, they make a crisp tinkling sound.

Brandish watched Lucy's actions, her eyes narrowed, and the last bit of her patience was worn out.

"It seems you are unwilling to give it to me voluntarily? In that case, I don't mind causing more pain to the daughter of my enemy in the process of retrieving the Aquarius key."

"Take back Aquarius"? "The enemy's daughter"? What on earth is this woman talking about?
Lucy stepped back.

She could vaguely sense that the woman in front of her was difficult to deal with, and she wanted to summon a star spirit to protect herself.

However, she had just fought a fierce battle with Sorono and was forced to use the "Star Chart History", and the remaining magic power was only enough to summon one star spirit.

So, who to call in this situation?
While she was still hesitating, a powerful magical power erupted from Brandish's body.

boom--

Not only that, Brandish began to grow bigger, first to two meters, then five meters, then ten meters... His tall body directly broke through the ceiling of the tavern.

Click click click——

Gravel, wood planks, and sawdust fell from the sky one after another.

Jinana raised the tray to shield her head from falling planks and rocks, complaining, "My tavern was just built..."

Lucy was stunned: This... is this the same gigantic magic as President Makarov's?

Brandish, now a giantess, gazed down at the mouse-like Lucy and said contemptuously, "If you don't want to be trampled to death by me, hand over the Aquarius Key!"

Lucy frowned, still tightly clutching the Star Spirit Key at her waist, and asked, "Who are you? Why do you want to take my Star Spirit Key?"

Brandish sneered: "Take away your Star Spirit Key? That is a relic that belonged to my mother!"

"You, the Heartfilia family, murdered my mother to take it away from me, and yet you still have the nerve to claim this is your Celestial Key?"

Lucy became increasingly confused. "What on earth are you talking about? We as a family have never done anything like that!"

bang——

Brandish swung his arms in anger, smashing a corner of the tavern's second floor, causing Lucy to scream.

"You still don't admit it! You still don't admit it!"

She vented her anger by punching every room on the second floor of the tavern, smashing them to pieces.

Jinana huddled in the corner, trying to use the tray in her hand as her last defense, and muttered to herself:
"Even the pharmacy was destroyed... I'm afraid the antidote I just bought is gone too."

This "antidote" happens to be able to cure the magical poison of Eric, the "Cobra" on the first level. It was supposed to be introduced by Jinana and sold to the challenger.

What makes Jinana even more panicked is that this batch of losses is probably just the beginning. If they continue fighting, her entire tavern will be gone.

Lucy was terrified, but she would rather die than hand over her Star Spirit Key.

Instead, she took out the "Relic: Angel's Feather" and prepared to counterattack.

There are two types of "Castlevania's Relics": one is a general-purpose type that can be used by everyone, and the other is a special-purpose type that is only effective when used by specific people.

"Relic Angel's Feather" is a special relic that allows the Celestial Mage to ignore the contract and summon the last summoned celestial spirit, and the magic power consumed is paid by Castlevania.

Of course, after a period of time, the summoned celestial spirits will be forcibly sent back to the celestial spirit world and will not stay in Castlevania permanently.

In other words, Lucy only needs to pay the magic power to summon one Celestial Spirit, and she can use the "Double Door Opening" that she has not yet mastered to summon two Celestial Spirits in a row.

Ding ding ding—a series of bells rang out, and two figures walked out of the star spirit gates that opened in the two magic circles.

After seeing the situation clearly, a figure immediately stood in front of Lucy to protect her.

He is Leo, a celestial being with short orange hair and light-colored sunglasses.

Another figure, holding a water bottle in her hand, with a slightly curled tail and lowered eyes, is none other than Aquarius Aqua.

Brandish was enraged by Lucy's words and was still in a rage, but the moment she saw Aqua, she subconsciously stopped her movements.

Her current strength is already much stronger than Aquia, but the memory of being disciplined by Aquia in her childhood is deeply imprinted in her consciousness, making her hands and feet stiff at this moment.

More importantly, Aquia is probably one of the two relatives that Brandish cares about most in this world, the other being Auguste.

She couldn't hurt Aquia.

Leo first showed concern for Lucy, and after confirming that Lucy was okay, he turned to Aqua and said:
"I don't know what's going on, but let's end this battle first... I'll take the lead and you cover for me!"

Aqua remained silent, then raised her head, first glanced at the confused Lucy and Leo, then looked at Brandish, and finally sighed.

"Leo, don't bother with that. Don't worry, leave it to me."

She ignored Leo's warning, moved straight towards Brandish, and shouted loudly:
"Brandish! Do you want me to keep looking up at you like this?"

Aquia made a downward push with her palm, apparently to help Brandish get back into shape.

Brandish was stunned for a moment, and actually did not do anything to Aqua. Instead, he shrank obediently and returned to his original size.

Lucy and Leo looked at this side in surprise and confusion, not understanding what was going on.

Aqua sighed again, her tone softening as she said, "Brandish, I think I understand where your resentment comes from, but it's definitely not Leila and Lucy's fault."

Brandish frowned. "What does this mean?"

"Rather than telling you this, I'd rather let you see it for yourself... I didn't have time to intervene in the entire process, but I recorded it all."

Aqua uses her magic to allow Lucy and Brandish to see her memories.

They saw Brandish's mother, Grame.

Grame, who holds the "Aquarius Key", hurried to the Heartfilia family mansion to meet with Leila, who was seriously ill in bed. They confided in each other and hoped that their daughters could become good friends in the future.

They each mentioned their daughter's name, and Lucy realized how close her relationship with Brandish's previous generation was.

Lucy looked at the scene in surprise, and glanced at Brandish subtly.

Brandish was immersed in this memory, looking at her mother's face, feeling that emotion, unable to look away for a long time.

Soon, the scene changed, and Grame was still holding the "Aquarius Key", wiping her tears while walking on the path in the town.

At this moment, a figure jumped out from the side and stabbed Grame fiercely in the back. His face was revealed as blood splattered everywhere.

That man was Leila's manservant, Zudel.

Brandish looked at the scene in shock and anger. He wanted to do something, so he stretched out his hand, but could only touch a phantom.

At this time, Aquia slowly told the truth.
