Fairy Tail: You call this celestial magic?

Looking at Moon in front of her, Lucy really wanted to say "sorry" because she had not met Moon's expectations of her.

During this period of time, except for today, she has been unhappy, and whether she can become the person she wants to be is not something she can decide directly now.

"It's nice to meet you, Lucy. I must apologize."

Just as Lucy was thinking about all kinds of things, Moon spoke to her. Before Lucy could say "I'm sorry", it was Moon sitting opposite her who apologized to her first.

"Why are you apologizing to me?"

Lucy asked stupidly, then she suddenly came to her senses.

“How do you know my name is Lucy?!”

Looking at Moen who had already guessed her identity, Lucy's face was full of confusion. This was obviously a development she had not expected before.

"Of course I can tell. I've met your father, Mr. Jiude, quite a bit lately. How could I not recognize his daughter? Your blond hair and the resemblance to your face allow me to make this judgment. It seems I'm not mistaken."

Moon smiled and began to explain. He seemed to be bullying an honest person. In fact, Lucy didn't look that much like Jiude. It was impossible to guess it so easily by looking at their appearance.

But Moon still recognized Lucy by her appearance, but he relied on Lucy's future appearance.

Although the current little Lucy is indeed very young compared to the "big Lucy" who traveled through time before, her appearance is still recognizable at a glance.

I have to say, apart from the fact that her body has not yet started to develop, there is really not much difference between Lucy when she was a child and when she grew up.

"Is that so?"

Little Lucy was confused, but she was really frightened by Moen's words.

The main reason was that she trusted Moen too much. She didn't think there was any need for Moen to lie to her. Moreover, what he said actually sounded quite reasonable. After all, no one would say that she and Jiude didn't look alike at all.

"Because of the railway construction in the south, Lucy must have seen less of Mr. Jiude recently, right? I bear some responsibility for this, as I've been urging the progress of the railway construction. That's why Mr. Jiude is so busy and has been on the front line in the south."

Moon had a smile on his face and apologized to Lucy. He had known before that Jiude neglected his daughter, and in recent times, Jiude basically did not go home. It was obvious that Lucy was going to grow up alone.

Faced with Moon's apology, Lucy couldn't help but look stunned. She didn't expect that Moon would apologize for this.

"You don't have to apologize, I'm actually used to it."

Lucy explained immediately that she didn't think there was anything wrong with what Moon did. The main reason was that she felt that even if Moon didn't urge her, her father would definitely be like this now.

No one knows a father better than his daughter. Lucy is still very confident about this matter, although she would rather not have this strange confidence.

"Mr. Ejude is indeed very dedicated and works very hard."

Since Lucy had already said so, Moon naturally couldn't refute it, but he felt even more sympathy for Lucy, the poor child.

Jiude is very conscientious, but he has obviously forgotten his responsibilities as a father.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. Don't be in a hurry to leave. Stay and wait for us. Based on the principle of being responsible to your friends, I have to keep an eye on you for Mr. Jiude."

Moon waved his hand and said to Lucy with a smile. He skipped the previous topic and invited Lucy to stay.

Lucy was willing to secretly come to attend his new book signing event, so she must be a loyal fan. Moon now invites her to join their team, which should make Lucy happier.

"Is it really possible?!"

Sure enough, after hearing Moon's words, Lucy's eyes lit up.

As a fan, she certainly hopes to stay, mainly because she is unwilling to give up the opportunity to communicate with Moendo. She has many questions to ask about "Sherlock Holmes".

"Of course, there's a small concert coming up soon."

Before Moon could speak, Mira, who had been observing Lucy from the side since she appeared, spoke up. She understood that this Lucy was the daughter of Jiude from the Heartfilia Group. She was obviously a real young lady, but she didn't know how she compared to the one who had just joined the guild.

Princess Jade's external identity is that of a rich girl. After all, she has no shortage of money and can spend a lot of time studying and practicing. An ordinary family background would definitely not be enough. It's just that no one knows that Jade is actually the king's daughter.

"I see. Thank you. You are Miss Mirajane, right?"

After hearing Mirajane's answer, Lucy nodded seriously, and then she asked Mirajane's name. Lucy hadn't paid much attention to Mirajane before, but she only knew that she became famous because of Moon's song "Masayume Chasing".

But after becoming famous, Mirajane did not show up in public too much and always kept a low profile. She just sang a few of Moon's works one after another, as if she just wanted to be Moon's exclusive singer and didn't care about anything else.

"Mira, thank you for your help here. Take Lucy out to play. I'll probably be busy for a while here."

Seeing Mira and Lucy chatting, Moon turned and said to Mira with a smile, Mira had been sitting next to him and helping, passing books, papers, pens and so on. This job was boring, so it would be better to let Mira accompany Lucy for a walk.

".Fine."

Mirajane curled her lips at Moon's arrangement, but finally agreed. She thought it was interesting to sit next to Moon and help, and she didn't find it boring. In comparison, she would definitely prefer to stay here with Moon.

However, Lucy's identity is different after all. Moon has always attached great importance to Jude's project, and Mira knows this, so she needs to help Moon take care of Lucy, the daughter of Jude Heartfilia.

"Come on, I'll show you around, and I'm also going to prepare the songs for the performance."

Mirajane stood up and told Lucy that she was going to take Lucy to visit the backstage of the theater and practice the piece she was going to perform. After all, this was her first public performance. Even though Mirajane was a fearless person, she couldn't help but feel a little nervous at this time.

"Well, thank you, Miss Mirajane."

Lucy responded, picked up the "Sherlock Holmes II" that Moon had just signed, stood up obediently and followed Mirajane.

Although she still had a lot to say to her idol Moon, she knew that her treatment was already special enough. If she continued to monopolize Moon and refused to leave, the other fans would probably explode.

In fact, her current special treatment has caused some discussion. Everyone has obviously noticed that Moon treats her very differently, and Mirajane even took her directly to the backstage of the theater.

Chapter 167 Jiude's Change of Mindset

The treatment Lucy received was indeed enviable, but Moon didn't need to explain anything, and no one dared to question him. Even if they did, it would be useless. Moon just smiled and didn't answer.

Thanks to Moon's efficient work, the book signing event was quickly concluded successfully.

His ever-present professional smile and his signing arm, as strong as steel, pushed the process forward quickly, bringing the signing session to an end more than two hours earlier than originally planned.

Fortunately, the next link had already been arranged, and the concert could be seamlessly connected without making everyone wait.

The fans who had just attended the autograph session reunited in the theater's auditorium. The autograph books in their hands were their concert tickets and seat numbers, and the order had just been filled in for them.

Of course Lucy had already taken a seat, but she was invited to the VIP seat, and then she saw a familiar figure in the VIP seat.

"father!"

Seeing Jude Heartfilia, Lucy cried out in surprise and immediately moved closer. She hadn't seen her father for a while and was naturally excited to see him here suddenly.

Hearing his daughter's voice and seeing her running towards him, Jiude was stunned for a moment. It was obvious that he did not expect to meet Lucy here.

"Lucy? Why are you here?"

Looking at Lucy who came to his side, Jiude frowned and asked.

"I'm here to attend Mr. Moon's book signing event."

Seeing her father frowning and looking sternly questioning, Lucy's originally high spirits suddenly dropped. She whispered that she knew her father didn't like her running around, and that her father would definitely be unhappy to see her suddenly here.

"."

Looking at Lucy with a stubborn face, Jiude's expression was a little complicated.

Although he knew that Lucy was a fan of Moon's books, he didn't expect that his daughter liked Moon's books so much that she would sneak out alone to attend Moon's book signing event.

In the past, Lucy ran away from home so disobediently just to find him, but now there is another person who is worthy of her doing this.

Although Jiude has known Moon for such a long time, he has never arranged for Lucy and Moon to meet. One reason is that he is really busy and has been busy all the time.

The second reason is out of his selfish motives. After truly knowing and understanding the power of Moon and "Fairy Tail", Jiude is a little reluctant to let Lucy get too deeply involved with them.

The death of Jude's wife Leila has always been a thorn in his heart.

Although Leila did not tell Jiude the specific reason, Jiude was not stupid. He knew that it must be because of the magician's incident that his wife's health suddenly went from healthy to near death.

Since then, Jiude has become more and more aware of the dangers of the world of magicians. The more outstanding and famous you are, the more dangerous it is.

Being an ordinary little wizard and doing some trivial commissions is not very dangerous.

And someone like Leila, as an excellent celestial wizard, she had quite a reputation throughout the continent, but she died suddenly, because everything she was exposed to was very dangerous.

The immense strength and ability to stir up trouble of Moon and Fairy Tail somewhat struck a chord in Kude's heart.

This changed Jiude's attitude. From the initial idea of ​​hoping that Lucy could establish a master-disciple relationship with Moon, to now hoping that Lucy could stay away from Moon and "Fairy Tail", it can be said that he has reached two extremes.

Jiude couldn't stop Lucy from learning celestial magic because it was taught to her by Leila.

Leila said that as long as Lucy wanted to learn, she would support her, and she would let the stars who had signed a contract with her take care of and protect Lucy.

But Jiude thought that if he just let Lucy learn casually and didn't let her get involved in the mess in the wizard world, he should be able to avoid the tragedy that happened to Leila from happening again.

"Lucy, what do you think of Moen?"

Looking at Lucy, Jiude suddenly asked.

"Mr. Moon? Of course he's a very powerful man! Not only is he an extremely powerful Celestial Mage, but his books and music are also amazing! He's the person I want to be like!"

Facing her father's question, Lucy answered seriously that the person she wanted to be was someone like Moon.

She is also a celestial wizard with a very powerful heritage. Her mother left her a lot of "legacies", even including the celestial spirits of two zodiac signs. She also likes writing very much. She has begun to organize the stories her mother told her in the past and plans to write them into a story collection.

In Lucy's eyes, Moon is her best idol and goal.

"."

Jiude was speechless for a moment. He had no idea his daughter had always thought this way, or that she had even set Moen as her target. Was this really possible? Wasn't her ambition a little too ambitious?

Although Jiude also knew that his wife Leila had left a lot of inheritance to Lucy, even his famous wife Leila could only stand aside in front of the current Moon, right?

Lucy compared herself with Moon and regarded Moon as her goal to catch up with, which made Jiude start to compare the two of them as well.

After seeing this comparison, Jiude felt that he might have thought too much before.

"Maybe I'm overthinking it. Even if Lucy becomes a wizard, she probably won't encounter any danger. Her talent, compared to geniuses like Moon and the others, is probably just mediocre, right?"

It's still unclear whether Lucy can reach the career heights of her mother, Leila, let alone compare to Moon.

Jiude began to think that maybe it would not be a bad thing to let Lucy join "Fairy Tail". After all, if the sky falls, there are people like Moon who are taller than him to hold it up, so Lucy will not be needed anyway.

The reason why Leila ended up like that might be because she had no organization, no guild, and no tall people to support her.

Looking at her father's constantly changing expression, Lucy looked a little worried. She was afraid that her words made her father angry. The little girl kept carefully observing her father's expression.

However, Jiude, whose mind was filled with various thoughts, did not notice Lucy's worries. He frowned and kept thinking about the pros and cons.

"Lucy, answer me seriously, if I let you join the Fairy Tail Guild and let you become Morn's disciple, would you be willing?"

Just when Lucy was feeling uneasy, Jiude suddenly spoke.

These words made little Lucy's eyes widen. She stared at her father blankly, wondering if she had heard it wrong.

Chapter 168 Their respective decisions

"Of course I do!"

Facing the question raised by her father, Lucy answered confidently without any hesitation, and her face even turned a little red with excitement.

Becoming Moen's disciple and joining Fairy Tail was something she couldn't even imagine!

"."

After hearing Lucy's answer, Jiude fell silent again. He was still entangled and struggling in his heart. The death of his wife Leila had always been like a thorn in his heart, a thorn that could never be pulled out, which made him still unable to make up his mind.

Although he has figured it out, it might be safest to let Lucy join the "Fairy Tail" guild and let Lucy stand behind "giants" like Moon and Makarov.

But what if Lucy is as good as her mother, or even better than her mother Leila?

What if she went to "Fairy Tail" and became stronger and able to stand on her own after becoming Moon's apprentice?

Although it seems a bit outrageous for a parent to hope that his child is not too powerful, it is not surprising considering what Jiude has experienced. It is also a reflection of his love for his daughter as a father.

It's a pity that Lucy obviously doesn't quite understand his love.

Seeing her father fall silent again, little Lucy blushed a little. She suddenly asked, and then there was no further information. Wasn't he deliberately trying to keep her in suspense?! What on earth was this saying?!

But now Lucy is not that wild, and her relationship with her father Jiude is not so bad as to break down directly.

Although she would occasionally disobey and run away secretly, she did so to find her father. In essence, she was still very dependent on her father at this time. So although she was very anxious, Lucy would not show it too much and could only worry in her heart.

"I'll think about it again."

Jiude finally spoke, which made Lucy even more anxious. What else was there to consider?

However, the two of them soon calmed down because the melodious sound of the piano had already sounded, and everyone's attention was attracted to it. The sound of the piano seemed to contain magic, calming everyone who heard it.

Jiude could clearly feel that his irritability and worries had dissipated, and the thoughts in his mind quickly became clear. He had made a decision on the things that he was struggling with just now. This was the charm of Moon's music.

"His level is already higher than Master Voltava's."

After calming down and making a decision, Jiude began to appreciate the music seriously, and then he couldn't help but sigh.
