Fairy Tail: Starting with Fairy Queen Erza

Chapter 12 Ian: For Ultear's sake, go and knock Brian away!

In the snow-covered ground covered in frost.

Uru, carrying Leon and Gray, raced through the relentless blizzard...

However, it is worth mentioning that...

Neither Uru nor Gray and Leon wore outer garments; they were only covered by their underwear to shield themselves from the biting cold.

As a result, Gray and Leon shivered from the wind and snow.

"Hey! Are you three just going to throw away your clothes like that?!"

"Seriously, how many pieces of clothing have you lost these past few days?"

"If this continues, we won't be able to afford food..."

Ian, who had been standing at the back of the group, watched as Uru and the other two threw off their clothes and frolicked in the snow again. Finally, he couldn't help but shout a reminder.

"Ah, sorry..."

“That Ian…”

"I'm entrusting all the clothes for me, Gray, and Leon to you."

After Uru heard Ian shouting loudly...

Then it suddenly dawned on her that she had carelessly lost her clothes again.

So she couldn't help but apologize to Ian, while winking playfully.

"There's really nothing I can do against you."

Ian had no choice but to finish cleaning up the clothes that the three of them had ruthlessly abandoned on the snow.

"Ugh……"

"When will this simulation ever end?!"

After doing all this, Ian couldn't help but look up at the sky. Half a year had passed since Ian destroyed Deliora.

During these six months, Uru was in charge of taking care of Gray and Leon, the two little ones, to train in ice-shaping magic, while Ian was in charge of 'laundry and cooking' for the group.

As for why Ian ended up in this state?!

The main problem is that the food Uru makes is just too awful.

Uru's cooking style is all about ensuring the food doesn't starve.

As for the taste?! She didn't care at all; as long as it was edible...

Ian had originally intended to hold back...

He simply couldn't believe that Gray and Leon could keep eating Uru's culinary dread!

No, what Uru made didn't even deserve to be called cuisine.

As it turns out, Gray and Leon actually got used to Uru's cooking.

Therefore, after a while, Ian couldn't stand it anymore and took over the cooking from Uru.

Well, Ian can endure any kind of hardship, except for his own taste buds.

As for washing clothes, in this extremely cold, north-southeast place, it was an incredibly difficult task! Once the clothes got wet and were exposed to the cold wind, they became harder than armor.

Fortunately, Ian possessed his own cleaning magic, using his unique gravity magic to remove dirt and sweat from clothes at the molecular level...

From then on, the task of doing the laundry fell to Ian.

Fortunately, these trivial matters did not interfere with Ian's cultivation.

In the past six months...

Ian has firmly established himself at this 'inhuman' level.

In any case, Ian is now confident enough to defeat Warold Shinken, the senior member of the Fairy Tail guild who has magic power but is not good at fighting, and who is ranked last among the Heavenly Kings.

But Ian will still complain...

"I originally came here intending to freeload!"

"How did we end up like this?!"

"I've really embarrassed Fairy Tail, a guild that's always been known for its freeloading!"

"If it were that bastard Gildarts, he would definitely shamelessly do nothing."

Ian sighed, picked up the clothes helplessly, and went home.

Ian is still too kind-hearted...

"Speaking of which, Deliora and the Dark Monk have already been taken down by me! It's time that Gray's childhood nightmare ended. Why isn't this simulation over yet?"

Ian was puzzled by this.

According to his conjecture, the simulation of Gray should have ended long ago, when he dealt with Deliora and the Dark Monk!

Could it be that Gray still harbors some resentment?

Hmph! He's such a greedy child, wanting everything...

the other side.

"Ha ha……"

Uru seemed to be keeping a close eye on Ian's movements.

After confirming that Ian had left, Uru chuckled softly, then turned to her two apprentices, Gray and Leon, and said with a smile, "That guy Ian has finally gone home. Remember what I told you before? Today seems to be Ian's birthday. To thank Ian for doing our laundry and cooking for us these past six months, how about we go to town today, buy him some fruit and cream, and bake him a birthday cake ourselves?"

Yes, during the six months they spent together, Ian inadvertently revealed his birthday.

Ian had just said it casually, but he never expected that Uru would remember it so vividly.

It was a case of the speaker not meaning it, but the listener taking it to heart!

"Oh!!"

Upon hearing this, Gray and Leon both waved their little fists, eager to try.

It wasn't that these two brats were particularly grateful; they were just celebrating that they could finally rest today...

Incidentally, they were very interested in making cakes.

They're just kids, after all.

Once they are free from hatred and pressure, they easily become curious and interested in everything in the world, including things they haven't tried before...

Ever since.

Uru, Gray, and Leon unearthed from the snowdrift beneath their feet the surprise they had hidden a few days earlier for Ian...

They told Ian that they had accidentally lost their clothes during training, and after putting them back on, they headed towards town.

"Shirley, the usual, some fruit, please!"

"Oh, and bring more pineapples and mangoes, those are Ian's favorites."

Uru went to her usual fruit stand, greeted the owner familiarly, and bought some of the fruits they usually ate, as well as the fruits Ian liked.

"Those two children..."

"I remember it was called Gray and Leon, right?!"

"They're all good kids! Most importantly, they're all handsome in the making; they'll definitely be the kind of guys who charm countless girls when they grow up..."

"That's great, Uru! To be honest, I'm envious of you having two such handsome young men with you~"

After preparing the fruit, cream, and other condiments needed for the cake for Uru, Sherry looked at Gray and Leon, who were playing around behind Uru, and teased them softly.

"You like it? It's yours, do you want it?"

Upon hearing this, Uru spoke without any apparent concern.

"No~"

"I have absolutely no interest in your two handsome little boys~"

"I don't have time to wait for them to grow up!"

"After all, I've finally waited for them to grow up, and now I'm old and unattractive."

"Indeed, if you're willing to be so reluctant, Uru, why not give me your family's handsome young man? To be honest, I took a liking to him the very first day he arrived in the city."

"His looks, his abs, and his charisma!"

"Tsk tsk tsk~"

Shirley looked infatuated as she spoke.

"Shirley! Don't drool over the fruit I paid for."

Upon seeing this, Uru snatched the wrapped fruit from Shirley's arms.

"Speaking of which..."

"Uru, you're not getting any younger. Aren't you really considering spending your life with that handsome guy?"

"If you don't consider it, remember to let me know! I'm always waiting for him~"

"I remember his name was Ian, right?"

Sherry continued to ask Uru for information about Ian.

"I want you to take care of it?!"

Upon hearing this, Uru angrily walked away, clutching the fruit.

As Uru led Gray and Leon straight to the bakery to bake a birthday cake for Ian, she vaguely murmured, "Is Ian really that handsome?! Why don't I see it?"

If Ian were next to Uru right now, he would definitely point at Uru's eyes and burst out laughing: "Haha! You actually think I'm not handsome enough? Looks like you really should go see an ophthalmologist, dear Miss Uru."

"I'm the most beautiful member of Fairy Tail guild! Every year I'm ranked number one on the list of most desirable mages to date in magazines! I'm known as the friend of women and a heartthrob..."

But Ian didn't have the time for that at the moment.

Because he finally found it...
