"You mean..."
Levy took a deep breath, put down the cup in her hand, then suddenly looked up at him, her voice filled with disbelief, "The me from the parallel world and you... your relationship is so good you're already at the point of sharing a bed?"
Being used as a pillow at night was such an intimate thing, it seemed like something only couples would do—
Like Bisca and Alzack, who were always so lovey-dovey.
But the problem was, wasn't this guy Mirajane's lover just now?! So what's this about being a pillow?!
Suddenly, the corner of Levy's eye twitched, and a bad guess appeared in her mind.
The parallel world me... could she be the third party?
"Just like with Mirajane, the Levy from that world is also my lover."
Roland looked at the dazed expression on her face and couldn't help but chuckle.
This look on Levy wasn't common.
It's a shame he didn't bring a Lacrima Vision. Otherwise, he would have recorded all the members with their contrasting personalities and brought it back to the guild for a public execution.
"To actually be two-timing—ahem, does Mira know about you and Le... I mean, me?"
Levy subconsciously raised her voice. She was in no mood to continue drinking at this point. She leaned forward, her expression serious as she asked.
"Of course she knows. Otherwise, I wouldn't have said it so directly."
Looking at the familiar face so close to him, Roland resisted the urge to pinch it and nodded in reply.
"..."
After hearing this, Levy couldn't help but fall silent.
To be honest, she really couldn't imagine sharing a boyfriend with Mirajane, with both of them knowing about it.
If her boyfriend were to engage in such player-like behavior, according to her personality, she would have long since charged at him with a magic item.
"Me... how on earth did you do it?"
"Who knows? Maybe I'm just too charming."
Faced with the question by his ear, Roland replied slowly.
"...What kind of narcissist are you?"
Levy glanced at him speechlessly.
She had to admit, this guy was indeed very handsome. Just meeting him for the first time was enough to make her heart flutter a little.
Since Roland and the parallel world her were lovers, the boyfriend over there probably looked the same, right?
At this thought, Levy couldn't help but feel a little expectant, and the corners of her lips turned up inadvertently.
"..."
It feels like her mood has brightened up quite a bit?
Looking at the blue-haired girl whose legs were swinging back and forth, Roland pinched his chin, a bit puzzled.
"Um... Roland, right? Can you tell me the specific situation of the me in the parallel world?"
At that moment, Jet and Troy, who had recovered from their injuries, walked over and casually threw their arms around his shoulders, a grin on their faces.
"You two? Because accidents always happen when you're on missions, you're often mercilessly lectured by Elfman."
Glancing at the two who had been beaten miserably by Knightwalker, Roland said nonchalantly.
"Wait, the two of us are lectured by the weak Elfman?"
Troy and Jet looked at each other, both seeing the disbelief on the other's face.
Even the Elfman nearby had a look of surprise.
Is the me from the parallel world that amazing?
"You've got to be joking, right? Jet, Troy, and Lucy are known as the guild's strongest candidates!"
Natsu, with goggles on his forehead, couldn't believe his ears and subconsciously swallowed.
"I'm not joking."
A gentle voice came from behind. Mirajane, wearing a dress, walked down the stairs from the second floor, her usual smile on her face.
Behind her, Lisanna also slowly emerged, with faint tear stains on her delicate face and slightly red eyes.
It looked as if she had just had a good cry.
"In my guild, the ones called the strongest candidates are Mystogan, Laxus, Gildarts, and Erza."
Here, Mirajane paused thoughtfully, then tapped her index finger on the corner of her lips and said, "But Laxus and Erza were defeated by Roland, so currently there are only three strongest candidates left."
"I've never heard of any of those names... wait!"
Hearing the names, Gray first shook his head, but quickly realized something was wrong.
"That Erza—why would the Fairy Hunter join the guild?!"
"Although I don't know what's up with the Erza here, the one I know joined the guild when she was a child."
Mirajane shook her head and said in a gentle voice.
"..."
Knightwalker, sitting in the corner with her spear, looked up wordlessly, a faint light flashing in her cold eyes.
Is it because the parallel world me joined Fairy Tail that I wasn't killed?
Tch, what pointless pity.
Knightwalker glanced at Roland not far away, then closed her eyes again.
"Um..."
"I've been wanting to ask since just now."
Looking at the crimson figure in the corner, Lucy couldn't help but point. "That couldn't be the Erza from your side, could it?"
Although she had been beaten badly just now, she knew clearly that the other party hadn't used lethal force. If it had been the Fairy Hunter, she would have been long dead.
"No, this time, only Mirajane and I came to Edolas."
Roland waved his hand and continued.
"This is the Fairy Hunter you all know. This morning, she was preparing to lead her troops to besiege the guild, but I happened to stop her."
"...Oh, I see."
Lucy subconsciously took a step back, the smile on her face becoming a little strained.
It was a miracle she hadn't been killed just now!
It wasn't just her; the other members of the guild also tacitly moved away from the corner.
After all, having been hunted so many times, the other party's strength, cruelty, and the comrades who had died—it had long since become a psychological trauma.
"There's no need to be so panicked. Knightwalker is very obedient now."
As he spoke, Roland snapped his fingers.
"..."
Hearing the familiar snap, Knightwalker instantly opened her eyes and looked up unhappily, her expression full of vigilance.
Ever since the Slave Contract was established, she had often been made to answer questions so shameful they made her want to kill herself.
"Don't worry. I just want you to go get me a glass of water."
"...Yes, Master."
Knightwalker secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then stood up with a blank expression, filled a glass with water, and brought it over.
"Well done. I'll give you a reward tonight!"
Taking the glass, Roland, under the shocked and twisted expressions of everyone, smiled and ruffled her crimson hair.
