Man is infinite, and his ambition is to slay the dragon

But the fact is, Sieg has never encountered a similar situation so far - after all, he is always the first one to take a bath, and if he has something to ask other people, he will convey it through Brunhilde, or simply communicate through telepathy. With Sieg's physical ability, it is impossible for some ambiguous physical contact to happen.

However......

(This is probably what Miss Em meant by "accident" and "carelessness", right?)

(Is it possible for such a miracle to happen?)

Looking at Erza in front of him, who was wearing an outfit that couldn't even be called armor, Sieg thought to himself, and his gaze became somewhat out of control.

There's no way around it, Erza's current outfit is really hard to take your eyes off.

As a woman, Erza actually has a very good figure. Although not as good as Stella, she is on the same level as Daohua and Edwards. But now her upper body is only wearing a white dress with very little material, and the only part that is covered is her chest.

The shoulders, navel and even the back were all revealed, and even the chest only covered the most important parts. The eastern and western hemispheres could be clearly seen from the side.

As for the pair of legs that had been well-trained but surprisingly had no muscular features, they were now wrapped in a black fishnet, and paired with the crimson underwear, they looked quite hot.

"...You still have armor like this, Erza."

Coming back to his senses from the silence, Sieg, calm and collected, asked calmly.

Although this is indeed an ambiguous situation that can make every man's heart beat faster, in Em's words, it is a big welfare, right? But if he can't even resist this level of temptation, then Sieg's mental strength is just a joke.

His self-control is not to be underestimated. It's just a physical desire. He can just hold it in!

"I'll turn around like this first. You pick a normal set of armor to put on. Call me when you're ready."

Sieg said as he turned around and tried to give Erza a way out - the lines were copied from the study materials Em gave him.

After hearing what Sieg said, Erza, who also reacted, became more and more embarrassed with her cheeks, and even steam began to come out of her head!

(How could I wear the [Armor of Temptation]!?)

She quickly changed into another set of armor, and covered her heart that was beating rapidly due to shyness and nervousness. This set of [Armor of Temptation] was bought by Erza on the eve of her trip to Tenrou Island. The reason for buying it was not because it was good for fighting, but purely because of Erza's impulse. After buying it, she never wore it once, and it was left in the space to gather dust.

How come she dug it out and replaced it now?!

She never thought of putting on this armor in front of Sieg!

"...I-I'm fine. I've changed back into my normal armor, Sieg."

"That's good."

Sieg turned around and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the thick armor on Erza. "I was shocked. I didn't expect you to have that kind of armor, Erza. Are you going to wear it for your sweetheart? Have you found someone you like in these two and a half years?"

"Eh? No, no no no no! I don't have that kind of partner!"

Erza, with an even more embarrassed look on her face, shook her head like a rattle!

"I bought that outfit on impulse! Should I say it was out of curiosity or because I was impulsive... Anyway, I really-"

"I understand what you mean. You don't have to explain it in a hurry."

Sieg nodded with a smile, indicating that Erza didn't need to be so anxious: "But anyway, why don't you not keep that armor in the alternate dimension? What if you accidentally put it on during a battle... It's okay if this happens during a sparring match, but it could be fatal in a fight."

"Well...I'll reflect on it."

Erza nodded with a blushing face: "But Sieg, you have to forget about this too! You can't let it stay in your mind!"

"I will, don't worry."

"...Your promises are so strong that I can't trust you." Erza frowned, "Are you used to this situation, Sieg?"

Are you used to it?

Sieg shook his head. "The situation is different from this time. I was training with another master of mine, and my clothes would be blown off every day. So I'm used to being naked, and even having my heart and lungs taken out."

"Is that so? I thought you were like Makao and the others, already had a family, so that's why you didn't react."

Makao is also a wizard in the guild. He is married and has a son.

But I am not content and I like to buy some magazines about the magical world that are not suitable for children.

"Although I do know some women, I have no plans to get married. After all, I don't even have a girlfriend."

(Setsuna also pretended with me that time.)

Erza was a little surprised: "Is that so? I thought you were already 26 years old, you should have at least had a lover or started a family... Can't you find one?"

"No, I just don't have any needs or intentions in this regard - what about you? You are 21 years old, right? Do you have someone you like?" Sieg asked back.

"..."

After a brief silence, Erza shook her head and said, "No... If I must say, I am like you, I don't have any needs or intentions in this regard. And I think that once a relationship between a man and a woman begins, they should aim for marriage."

"That's true... um, okay."

While the two were talking, Sieg opened the door and said, "I set the exit to our hotel room. You can go out for lunch first. I have some inspiration from your [Dress-up Magic] and want to experiment with it here."

"Well, see you later, Sieg."

Waving to Sieg, Erza stretched out her hand to open the door that appeared not far away, walked through it and disappeared on the other side of the door.

After watching the door close, Sieg paused for a moment, and then released a chill of more than ten degrees below zero from his entire body, instantly freezing the entire alien space into a world of ice and snow!

[Aiya~~~ You are actually still stimulated by the armor of temptation just now, right? Little Sieg~~~]

Em's annoying voice rang in Sieg's mind.

[After all, he is 26 years old, so it is understandable. I already had several lovers when I was his age.]

Griffith's voice also came.

[Listen carefully, Sieg. The more you hold back your physical needs, the more uncontrollable they will be when they are released. If you continue like this, I can assure you that you will become a desire monster in the future.]

[So you'd better——]

(You two should shut up.)

Sieg forcibly cut off the communication in his mind.

--------------

On board the Climbhide.

Sensing that Sieg had cut off the communication, Griffith and Em, who were sitting in the database watching the fun, looked at each other and saw a bit of helplessness in each other's eyes.

"This kid really has no desires or requests."

"Maybe he just has no idea about this. It's hard for those girls. If this continues, they probably won't make any progress with him until they are 50 years old?" Griffith rolled his eyes. "Can we think of a solution?"

"Hmm~~~ Knock Sieg unconscious and tie him to the bed, then set up a different dimension and lock them all in, so they can't get out unless you do it?"

"A knock-knock space, right? I know. I've done it before." Griffith said he was familiar with it. "But there is only one plan that is not very safe. I will go down and find some herbs and mix a potion for him to drink."

"Do you know how to do this?"

"That's how I fell into the hands of my wives. Each one of them was like a scourge or a beast. I almost died in their hands."

Em nodded in agreement: "Indeed, it's easy for people to die when there are too many of them. I got dehydrated several times."

The two adults in various senses began to exchange their own blood and tears stories, and by the way, they planned how to trick Ziggy.

56. Opening of the Martial Arts Show

The next day, when the sky was gradually illuminated by the sun.

The residents of Krocas woke up early, and after waking up, most of them walked towards the building located to the west of the royal capital.

——Dome Frau.

It was the most famous arena in the entire Kingdom of Fiore, located on a high mountain on the western border of Krocas.

Looking from above, it looks like an ancient Roman arena located on a high mountain.

There are circular and terraced auditoriums all around, with a vast open space in the center. Several extremely magnificent statues stand around the arena, making it look very solemn and ancient.

At the same time, this arena is also the highest building in the entire Crocus, including the royal city.

Now, as time goes by, the road leading to the Frau Dome is also occupied by crowds of people. At a rough glance, there are at least thousands of people, right?

But even so, this actually only accounts for a very small part of the number of spectators. After all, the Great Magic Fighting Games is a magic festival that the Kingdom of Fiore has been preparing for a long time. This is the most important first session. The number of spectators can be said to be spread all over the country. Even those who failed to come to Krocas are now waiting in their homes or nearby taverns to watch the broadcast of the Magic Crystal.

Not to mention the people who came to Crocus.

If tickets to watch the game hadn't been sold out months ago, everyone in the city would have rushed to Crocus by now.

“Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!”

Soon, as the time was approaching for the Grand Demon Fighting Competition to officially begin, the entire Krocas was filled with salutes and fireworks, and the unique noise of the festival celebration echoed continuously in the sky of the royal capital.

A large number of balloons were also released from the venue and floated into the sky. Combined with the salutes and fireworks that were set off everywhere, it looked very lively.

As one of the many guilds participating in this conference, Fairy Tail left the inn early and arrived at the arena unimpeded through a passage that was completely unknown to the audience.

"It's really lively outside."

In the preparation room.

Listening to the atmosphere outside gradually heating up, Sieg summoned the keyboard and entered the command to [Clear Noise].

The sound that was almost deafening to the ears was suddenly reduced to a level that was not even as loud as the sound of a fly harassing him.

"Phew~~~~ It's a bit quieter now. Good job, Sieg!"

Kana gave Zig a thumbs up.

"It's so noisy outside, I don't feel like drinking anymore."

"I don't think drinking so early in the morning is a good habit, Kana." Sieg said, "However, this lively scene really reminds me of the Seven Stars Sword Festival that I participated in before."

Although it is a martial arts competition only for students, due to the policy of the International Magic Knights League, the Seven Stars Sword Festival is also a competition program with extremely high ratings around the world, which can bring considerable profits to the league every year.

Therefore, the Alliance will in turn promote the [Seven Star Sword Festival]. After decades of evolution, the [Seven Star Sword Festival] has long become a huge celebration event, a large-scale festival shared by the whole world.

"The Seven Stars Swordsmanship Festival... I've never heard of this event. Was it an event you participated in on another planet before coming to our planet?"

Erza asked, "This is the first time I've heard you talk about your past."

"After all, there is no opportunity or need to bring it up. Besides, it was almost nine years ago that I participated in the Seven Stars Sword Festival. When I bring it up now, I always feel like something is wrong."

Sieg smiled softly.

Daohua glanced at him and easily understood Ziggy's thoughts.

(That’s right. We are all 26, almost 27, and talking about our school days does make us feel nostalgic… So many years have passed in a flash.)

Incredibly, Daohua felt that it was only recently that he decided to leave with Sieg and board the Krinshid.

If she continues like this, she might be almost 40 years old when she realizes the passage of time next time.

Time really is unforgiving.

(Hmm...Is it too early for me to lament about time when I'm only 26? This should be the mentality of middle-aged and elderly people, right? I'm obviously still very young...)

26 years old - this is indeed not an old age, but for women who feel they are getting old after 30, this age is actually quite dangerous. Especially for someone like Dao Hua who often stays on a planet for a few years or wanders in the universe for a year or two, let alone 30, even 40 is a matter of a blink of an eye!

"Ok?"

Noticing Dao Hua's sudden gloomy and sad expression for some reason, Zig frowned: "What's wrong, Dao Hua, are you feeling unwell?"

"No... I just feel a little bit uncomfortable with my age... It's nothing."

Dao Hua shook his head slightly.

But Erza, Mira, and Kana all understood her helplessness as a woman, and gave her comforting looks. Kana even hooked her shoulder and said, "The more I think about this kind of thing, the more scared I get. So come and have a drink with me! Get yourself drunk and you can forget all these worries!"

"Are you sure this isn't a cop-out, Cana?"

Sieg sighed slightly.

There was not much drinking on the Clinshid, only Xijing Ningyin drank, and the others didn't drink at all, but they had no interest in drinking. If Daohua became an alcoholic under Kana's guidance, Sieg would not be happy about it.

There's really nothing good about wine, is there?

[Well then! Let's give the warmest applause to the magicians who will be participating in this year's Grand Magic Fighting Competition! ]

Suddenly, although the noise was eliminated, important sounds such as the host's voice were clearly heard by several people because Sieg did not eliminate it.

It seems that the part that heated up the atmosphere has finally come to an end.

Next, it is the turn of today's protagonists to appear on stage, and then the great magic battle will officially begin.

[The first guild to appear today! Its name is probably very familiar to all of you in the audience! ]
