Chapter 20 - 20: Artillery fire under the aurora!

As night fell.

The stars in the sky blossomed with brilliance, hanging high in the firmament, releasing their light.

Upon the firmament.

The aurora also revealed its infinite charm; the curtain seemed to adorn a bride with a veil.

The Milky Way and the aurora accompanied each other, a beautiful scene entering their eyes.

"So beautiful…"

Lucy looked up, gazing Stupid ly at the sky; as a girl, it was hard to resist the scenery at this moment.

She was completely intoxicated by the aurora's beauty.

"Marry me!"

"Be my girlfriend; I swear by the aurora that I will only be good to you in this life."

"My dear… let's get married!"

"It's truly wonderful to have you by my side in this life; let's walk hand in hand in the days to come!"

"…"

The men and women around them all began to confess their love or propose.

At this very moment, those being confessed to and proposed to were the happiest people.

Lucy had initially been quite disdainful.

But now, looking at this picturesque aurora, she genuinely envied the girls around her.

To be confessed to in such a place was truly an unforgettable memory for a lifetime.

"Lucy…"

Aux's magnetic voice sounded.

This sudden call made Lucy's little heart pound, feeling anxious and uneasy.

She wondered what she should do if he confessed.

Would refusing be too heartless? It would be better to agree in such beautiful scenery, right?

But agreeing also felt inappropriate; although Aux was very handsome and approachable.

After all, they had only known each other for a few hours.

She didn't want to be seen as a casual girl, and even less did she want her first time to be lost so hastily.

Her face showed an incredibly conflicted expression.

"You… you say…"

Lucy took a deep breath, somewhat shyly meeting Aux's gaze.

"I suddenly feel that selling the Taurus for one million gold was a bit of a loss; how about we discuss adding a bit more?" Aux said.

What???

Lucy was stunned, her face slowly showing confusion.

She looked at Aux with eyes as if looking at some piece of trash.

And she had mentally prepared herself for something else.

It turned out that what he wanted to say was such a mood-killing remark; he deserved to be single!

"Hmph…"

With a frustrated cold snort, Lucy hugged her knees, concentrating on continuing to watch the aurora.

She was clearly already angry.

Aux thought she was very strange and forcefully explained, "Look… Zodiac Twelve are good things; there are only twelve keys in the whole world; I'm losing a lot at one million gold!!!"

I won't listen! I won't listen! Like a turtle chanting sutras!

Lucy directly covered her ears, not intending to listen to anything Aux said.

Rogue!

What a rogue girl!

Aux also closed his mouth in frustration; how could there be such a rogue girl like Lucy!

In his helplessness, he could only consider himself unlucky.

Hmm… as it got darker, the hillside was no longer so bright.

Couples with tents returned.

Slowly, the sound of constant gunfire could be heard, attracting Aux's attention.

This was like a battle.

If someone fired the first shot, others would also fire!

The sound became clearer and clearer.

Aux stealthily glanced at Lucy and found her face turning rosy.

It was obvious that the girl's attention had also been diverted.

"It's time to leave!"

The beauty of the aurora was already deeply imprinted in their hearts; staying longer would only make them more uncomfortable.

Aux stood up from the ground, and Lucy also rubbed her face and got up.

The two turned and walked through the tents where gunfire was continuous.

They moved away from the hillside.

"Next time we admire the scenery, we should find a secluded place; this kind of location completely affects the mood."

Aux said as he walked; although the aurora didn't last long.

But the starry sky could last for a long time.

Originally, Aux had planned to sleep on the ground under the Milky Way, but the sound of constant gunfire was too noisy.

It made him not know where to sleep now.

Lucy agreed, "Yes!"

However, she didn't regret coming to this hillside; at least it allowed her to successfully gain enlightenment on certain matters.

And she did indeed see a once-in-a-century aurora!

Since there were no towns nearby.

Aux and Lucy decided to find a grassy area where they could still see the stars to rest.

On the way to find a place.

The two of them teamed up to catch several plump wild rabbits, and finally built a fire to roast the meat.

While waiting to eat the meat.

Lucy took out a new newspaper from her bag, smiling as she read the information.

"The Fairy Tail Guild is really something; they destroyed several houses while working; they're still as reckless as ever."

While reading the newspaper, Lucy couldn't help but complain.

"Brother Aux, do you have a favorite Mage Guild?" Lucy asked casually.

Aux thought about it while roasting the meat.

He had been in this world for 18 years and had never particularly admired any guild before.

But recently, after joining a guild, he had found much joy.

If he had to say he had a favorite, it could only be the guild he was currently in.

"Fairy Tail Guild." Aux replied.

Lucy seemed to have found a kindred spirit, closing the newspaper and speaking excitedly, "Really? I also especially like Fairy Tail; my dream in this life is to join them!"

Aux chuckled, then remembered that Lucy hadn't asked him which guild he was a Mage of.

He thought about it and decided not to say anything for now; Lucy would naturally find out later.

"If you like it, just join!" Aux said, "I believe the Fairy Tail Guild will definitely welcome your joining!"

Lucy was overjoyed.

Soon, she became gloomy with worry again.

"Joining a Mage Guild…"

Lucy rested her chin on her hand, staring blankly at the fiercely burning bonfire.

"Let's wait a bit longer."

She seemed to be speaking to Aux, and also seemed to be talking to herself.

Aux had seasonings with him.

It was because he had eaten unseasoned roasted meat before, which he found incredibly difficult to swallow.

Later, even if he didn't carry a bag, he had to have seasonings on him.

The rabbit meat was sprinkled with seasonings.

Roasted over a large fire, the fragrant aroma wafted into their nostrils, making Lucy's mouth water.

"Try it!" Aux handed it to her.

Lucy took the roasted meat, put her hands together, and said, "I'm going to eat~"

Fragrant!

So fragrant!

"Brother Aux, I didn't expect your roasted meat to be so fragrant."

Lucy ate the meat in large bites, completely unladylike; this was the best roasted rabbit meat she had ever eaten.

"It should be the credit of the seasonings; these are my homemade ingredients, which can enhance the flavor."

Aux slowly gnawed on the rabbit meat.

Hearing Lucy's words, he also attributed the credit to the seasonings.

These seasonings were made according to his previous life; the Fairy Tail world didn't have so many types.

So the taste would be richer!

Before long, the several rabbit meats were quickly eaten, and both of them were full.

"Ah… it's time to sleep."

Looking at the stars in the sky, Lucy smacked her lips and took out the blanket she had intended to use.

She lay on the ground, completely unguarded, and began to rest.

Across from her.

Aux waved his staff, muttering incantations, casting defensive enchantments on himself and Lucy.

Ensuring that they wouldn't be bitten by mosquitoes, attacked by wild beasts, etc., while sleeping.

Then,

He also hugged his staff and closed his eyes, falling into sleep on the quiet grassland.
