Chapter 33 - The guild is as peaceful as ever

"Hello, everyone." Virgo bowed her head and introduced herself. "I am Virgo, a Celestial Spirit, and Kira-sama's slave." 

"....." Everyone. 

"I mistook you, Kira!" 

"You scumbag!" 

"As expected of a handsome guy! You can't trust him at all!" 

"You have Lucy, yet you still have such a cute girl?!" 

"H-How envious!" 

"..." Kira. 

Taking a deep breath at the group of people who pretended to look at him in contempt, Kira sighed, then asked, "Then, you don't need my souvenirs?" 

"..." 

"Souvenirs?" 

Everyone's expressions quickly changed, and they became as meek as lambs. 

"As expected of Kira, you are as gentle as ever!" 

"You are a great guy!" 

"Lucy, you are lucky to have him!" 

"...." Lucy. 

Regardless, when Kira took out the souvenirs that he got from his previous trip, everyone took them happily, as they thanked him. As expected, everyone was so simple, but then again, while the money was a lot, the items that he got from many people from his trip to Shirotsume Town were rich. 

Meats, wines, and some crafts such as glasses or plates. 

They weren't expensive, and relatively cheap (based on his wealth), but they were all good enough to make a good smile and make a connection with others. 

"Is it okay for you to buy all of that for everyone?" Makarov asked worriedly as he picked up a bottle of wine. 

"I got them for free, and there are too many of me to keep, especially the food. It will turn bad if I keep all of them." 

"That's good, then." Makarov sighed in relief since he had heard that all of them were leftovers instead of being bought by Kira. "Next time, there is no need for you to do this. You have worked hard on your missions, and those rewards are what you deserve." 

If Kira bought so many things for everyone after his mission, Makarov was afraid that Kira would get poor, and at the same time, this might also become a bad habit where all of them would expect something from Kira. 

If Kira didn't buy anything, would they resent him? 

While Makarov didn't think that everyone was so petty, it was better to be careful, and more importantly, Kira had no obligation to buy everyone something like this. To do a quest was hard, and the reward was something that he deserved, so instead of sharing it with everyone, it was better for him to enjoy it for himself. 

This was what everyone mostly did, but then again, as a guild master, Makarov often spent his money to compensate his children, especially those who often caused destruction. 

"...." Natsu. 

Still, no matter what, everyone sighed in relief when they heard that Kira got everything for free instead of buying it with his own money. Nevertheless, this also showed how great Kira's job was, and the client was so happy that they even gave him gifts, which made them feel a bit envious and sigh, thinking that they should do a better job next time. 

"By the way, this Virgo is..." Cana, who greedily picked up tens of bottles of wine, along with several pieces of meat and crafts, looked at Virgo curiously. 

"She is Kira's Celestial Spirit." 

Naturally, Lucy didn't want Kira to misunderstand and quickly explained who Virgo was. Yet, even so, everyone was surprised by how calm Lucy was despite the beautiful Celestial Spirit that was by Kira's side. 

Did Lucy approve of Kira having a harem? 

While they were familiar with a playboy, none of them could date several women at the same time while hiding the fact that they dated them; in other words, they dated them secretly instead of being open like Kira, which somehow made them sigh, thinking that the "biggest" was different. 

Was Lucy unable to satisfy Kira that she decided to hire help to support her? 

After all, when they thought of Kira's beastly figure... Yeah, as expected, this guy was amazing. 

"....." 

While Kira wasn't sure what everyone was thinking, he was sure that they understood a huge misunderstanding.

Still, Mirajane looked at Lucy thoughtfully as she tried to observe her, then glanced at Cana. 

Cana, who noticed Mirajane's cue, sighed helplessly, then asked, "So, how was your quest?" 

Everyone knew that Kira and Lucy took a quest to pick up a book called "Day Break" from Duke Everlue, but somehow, on the newspaper, they became the investigators who exposed the crime of Duke Everlue, which confused them. 

"Oh, the truth is...!" 

Naturally, even if Kira didn't say anything, Lucy would tell everything since she loved to show off. Yup, this girl was a bit shallow, and of course, similar to many people, she loved to be seen as eat, so she told them everything about how Kira could become the hero and take down the evil Everlue. 

Still, Lucy also hid some of the facts, such as how Kira could prove the crime of Everlue and how she tried to use a maid outfit to seduce Duke Everlue since she didn't want to be seen as an idiot. 

Oh, she also hid the fact that Kira did all of this because he wanted to return the book to Kaby Melon as she was sure that he would be shy. 

How cute~!

"..." Kira. 

"I see..." 

Everyone looked at Kira in surprise, never thinking that he would refuse the quest; yet instead of returning, he would try to expose the crimes of the Duke Everlue. 

Still, without doubt, his act of refusing the quest instead of following the client's orders surprised them, yet hearing the reason why he refused, they also understood. 

The consequences of being a criminal were too high, and if they were deceived by the client and received no money, what would they do? 

This experience of Kira somehow made them think twice about what kind of a quest that they would take in the future; yet this was also good since no one wanted to live uncomfortably, and they wanted to live well, after all. 

"Don't think too much. I just don't want my trip to be wasteful, so that's why I did that." 

As Kira had said before, going to the Shirotsume Town had wasted his money and time, so if he hadn't done something there, it would have been wasteful, right? 

At least, he wanted to fill the gauge of his gacha so his trip would have meaning. 

Nevertheless, his trip surprised them since instead of being wasteful, it gave him a lot of rewards! 

So—

"Kira, how about you take a quest with me next time?" 

"Oh, no, please go with me, Kira!" 

"Those two are weak, so you better forget about them! You should go with me!" 

"What did you say, bastard?!" 

All of a sudden, one after another, a fight was created, and once again, the guild was in chaos. 

"...." 

Watching all of this, Kira sighed helplessly, then looked at Makarov, who was all drunk, and somehow understood why this old man was addicted to alcohol. 

If not, then this guy would be stressed all over since the money that was used for a reparation for everyone's fight was definitely so immense!

If Makarov hadn't been drunk, then he would definitely have been scared since the debt of the Fairy Tail was definitely high. 

'As expected, the position of the leader of Fairy Tail is definitely not for someone with a faint heart.' 

Kira definitely didn't want to become the leader of the Fairy Tail, he thought. 

Regardless, Lucy, who showed off under the gaze of many jealous women, felt happy, and also felt relief when the guild was as usual that they fought everyday, yet ignoring the gloomy gaze that came from the bartender area, who thought of a chance to go after Kira when she let her guard down. 

Still, while everyone talked happily, a figure sneakily walked outside with a nervous expression until Virgo noticed the presence of this figure, which made her feel a certain familiarity before she called the name of this figure unsurely. "Leo?" 

"Leo?" 

Virgo's words naturally attracted the attention of many, and naturally, as Virgo said that name, the figure started to get nervous and wanted to stop Virgo. 

"Wait, Virgo!" 

"Do you know him, Virgo?" Kira asked curiously while he knew the truth. 

"Yes, he is Leo, the leader of the 12 Zodiac Keys of the Celestial Spirit." 

"..." Everyone. 

'Oh, no...' 

The figure was filled with despair, and as his secret was discovered, everyone looked at this figure with confusion. 

"Celestial Spirit?"
