Chapter 220 Memories Under the Cherry Blossom Tree (Ch 220)

Erza “as she wished” learned to meow, and Mirajane even touched her head lovingly.

Seeing that Erza’s face had turned red with shame, Anke couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

Fortunately, not long after, Erza’s bingo card was also successfully completed, becoming the second place after Mirajane!

However…the reward was the magical herb that Erza had suggested bringing back when they were on a mission yesterday.

And it has wilted because of the high temperature…

Erza became completely withdrawn, squatting on the side and drawing circles pitifully.

Anke looked at the three-day and two-night double ticket to the resort hotel in Mirajane’s hand and expressed his envy from the stinky hand.

“Here, I’ll give you one.”

Mirajane looked at Anke’s appearance, chuckled, handed it to him and said, “Do you remember this place?”

Anke was stunned for a moment, then took the ticket and said suddenly, “The first time I took you on a mission?”

Mirajane shook her head, her beautiful eyes sparkling with light, and she said happily, “Yes, I was always reckless and had a bad temper back then, thanks to you for tolerating me.”

Anke scratched his head and began to recall his childhood.

It seems… the young Anke didn’t tolerate her very much… Just like Erza beating up Natsugre now, Anke has a similar attitude towards Erza and Mirajane.

However, Anke still followed her words and said, “It’s not that you have a bad temper. You suffered a lot because of your temper when you were a child. At that time, you had thorns all over your body to protect yourself. Everyone understands.”

Mirajane looked at Elfman and Lisanna who were cheerful and excited not far away, and her voice was as gentle as the slowly flowing stream:

“I was also weak when I was little, but I had to be strong for Lisanna and the others. But when I joined the guild, I realized I didn’t have to be that strong.”

“You don’t have to pretend to be an invincible witch. Sometimes being a little weaker and relying on others is a happy thing…”

“Thank you for bringing me to Fairy Tail, Anke. I really like it here and everything about it including you.”

Anke noticed that Mirajane’s head was resting on his shoulder, and he could even smell the faint scent of her hair.

When Mirajane said these words to him, Anke seemed to be able to see the process of a poor and weak girl gradually becoming strong and confident, and slowly returning to her nature.

Anke looked at the falling cherry blossoms in his sight and said softly, “It’s okay to be weak. The one you love will always protect you.”

Mirajane laughed softly, and then her voice suddenly became a little resentful:

“Although you really took advantage of me a lot after you fell asleep during that mission…”

“Ah, this…”

Anke began to sweat again.

This is really his fault, but it can’t be entirely blamed on him.

Anke and Seram even looked into the cause of his sleepwalking together, but made no progress.

Once he fell asleep, Anke seemed to be disconnected, and he could not stop moving unless he was woken up.

Seram even suspected it was some kind of curse, but still couldn’t see any clues.

This is also the reason why Anke tried not to sleep if possible after he gained the power of life.

I have to cure this problem quickly…

Anke decisively chose to change the subject: “You are so lucky to win the grand prize.”

Mirajane suddenly lowered her voice and said mysteriously, “I helped the president draw the numbers and make the bingo cards…”

Anke: …

White hair will turn black when cut!

My silly sister, you deserved to lose! !

…

“I’m so envious, Mr. Anke and Miss Mira…”

Juvia crossed her arms and looked enviously at the two figures leaning against each other, then turned her expectant gaze to Gray.

When will I be able to be so close to Master Gray?

Gray waved his hands as if he was not surprised, and continued to play with his Bingo, saying, “I’ve been like this since I was a child. But you, Natsu, don’t you play Bingo?”

The bingo card in front of the napkin was placed quietly without a single hole poked in it. Natsu was still folding his arms, lowering his head in silence, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Happy was a little disappointed holding the card without Bingo. He had been thinking of bringing the winning prize back to Lucy as a gift.

Moreover, looking at Natsu who seemed to be out of tune with the surrounding atmosphere this year, Happy looked at him with some worry.

After a crazy day of fun, the golden sun still slowly reached the horizon, and its golden light sprinkled under the cherry trees, making everyone’s beauty exceptionally clear.

The happy time passed quickly, and after a day of crazy fun, it was finally time to end for the members.

Watching the members walking around in groups of three or four and gradually leaving the venue, Natsu, who had been sitting there all day, stared at the huge cherry tree in the distance with his eyes fixed on it.

“Everyone sat romantically under the cherry blossom trees to enjoy the view all day long, eating their own lunch boxes and snacks…”

“I’m going to wear nice clothes when I go home today and take a photo with everyone under the cherry blossom tree.”

“I’ll ask Kesha to help me with a new hairstyle. I’ll go to bed early tonight. And, and…”

“Oh, by the way, Levi-chan said that the cherry blossom petals at night are rainbow-colored. It’s really hard to imagine…”

Lucy’s energetic and expectant words from yesterday seemed to linger in his mind, and Natsu suddenly frowned and stood up abruptly.

He slowly walked under the cherry tree, reached out and touched the trunk of the giant tree, and looked up at the sky full of flowers.

At least one wish must be fulfilled…even just one.

Even if there is only one tree, even if there are no snacks, no pretty clothes, and no hairstyle, you can still see the most beautiful rainbow cherry blossom!

“Bang!!”

Natsu’s arms suddenly hugged the tree trunk tightly, and his fingers even inserted into the tree. His strong dragon physique exerted its power, and the largest cherry tree in Nankou Park began to shake violently.

The park was clear of people, but the harpy, who was worried about Natsu, flew back again. Seeing Natsu’s reckless behavior of pulling out the cherry tree, he hurriedly shouted:

“Natsu! What are you going to do?!”

“This is the largest cherry tree in Magnolia. If you destroy it, the president and the mayor will…”

“Don’t worry, Happy.” Natsu showed a warm smile that had disappeared all day, and his voice was very soft but unusually firm:

“Lucy can’t see Sakura, so let Sakura go to Lucy.”

Happy was stunned for a moment, but he immediately understood Natsu’s purpose and smiled happily: “Natsu, you are so smart! Lucy will definitely be very happy.”

“Let me help you too…”

“Please, it’s heavy and you can’t help.”

“What? Huh? It doesn’t seem heavy, Natsu?”

“Hmm…it does feel lighter?”

The two accomplices chattered away while hugging a huge cherry tree and “slipped” towards the river in Magnolia.

Not far away, Anke, who was behind the cherry tree, slowly raised his palm, and the halo of gravity magic lit up slightly.

“Really? Is this the romantic way of a reckless man?…”
