"That's what I want to say, but let's eat first. It wouldn't be good to have a cold breakfast," Bourne said, then walked behind Ultear, looking at the breakfast curiously.
However, it seemed that Ultear misunderstood Bourne's intention. Her face turned red and she gave an elbow to Bourne's solar plexus.
"...You! This is a public place!" Ultear reminded Bourne with a stern expression and a blush on her face.
"Ugh..." Bourne held his stomach and twitched his mouth. "T - This is a misunderstanding! I just want to know what kind of breakfast you've cooked."
"Hmm... really?" Ultear didn't believe in Bourne since she knew how naughty he was.
"..."
Lisanna, Lisa, and Mirajane looked at the interaction between the two of them and really hoped for both of them to flirt in another place since they felt very jealous at this moment.
"MEN!!"
Elfman wasn't sure, but he could tell that Bourne was a real man.
---
After they had eaten breakfast, they started their discussion about Lisa's origin.
"Edolas?"
It was their first time hearing of such a place, but from Lisa's description, Bourne could tell that it was a different place from the Earth Land where he was living right now.
"So the people in your world can't use magic?" Lisanna asked with a curious expression.
Lisa nodded and said, "Yes. We can't use magic like all of you. The way we use magic is to store it within an object in the form of Lacrima."
Bourne frowned since he had an idea what the kingdom in Edolas was planning at this moment, but he hid it since he could tell that Lisa didn't know anything and this girl was innocent.
They continued to talk about a lot of things such as the counterpart of Fairy Tail, animals, races, geography, etc.
Lisanna, Elfman, and Mirajane seemed to be amazed when they heard all the people on the Fairy Tail in Edolas had a different personality from the Fairy Tail in this world.
"How about us?" Ultear asked.
"I'm sorry, Tear-san. I don't know," Lisa said.
"It's normal. She's a Fairy Tail member and we're not," Bourne said.
"That's true." Ultear nodded and thought that the world was so big and it was impossible to know everyone in this world.
They continued to talk until Bourne said that he needed to do something first. When it was raining yesterday, he had found out the location of the iron ore mine and he wanted to check it first.
Ultear also followed Bourne, but there was something unexpected.
"Can I help you too?" Mirajane asked.
"Sure."
Bourne didn't think too much and went directly to the location of the iron ore mine since he wanted to check the total reserves of iron ore mine.
Elfman, Lisa, and Lisanna decided to wait at the camp since Bourne had told them that he wouldn't take that much of time and they had just been healed by Bourne so it was better for them to not move too much.
---
Bourne, Ultear, and Mirajane walked together toward the direction of the iron ore mine.
"So what kind of things did you find out from that conversation earlier?" Ultear asked.
"Huh? What do you mean?" Mirajane asked.
"This guy must have found out the cause of that phenomenon before." Ultear looked at Bourne and said, "Right?"
"I can guess most of it."
"So?"
"Hmm.... how to say, it is more troublesome than I've thought."
"What do you mean?" Mirajane asked.
Bourne stopped and looked at two women who looked at him curiously. "Did you remember that they have a limited amount of magic in their world? They need to pay money to get that Lacrima filled with magic."
"So?"
"You don't understand?"
Mirajane shook her head.
"You mean they want to rob the magic in our world?" Ultear asked with a frown.
"That's the biggest possibility, or rather, it must be the reason," Bourne said. He knew how greedy humans were and he was sure that the people in the Edolas, especially the royalty, wouldn't stay let magic in their world vanish and the only way to get magic was to rob it from this world!
Hearing Bourne's hypothesis, Ultear and Mirajane frowned at the same time, since the situation was more troublesome than they had thought.
"Then what about the person that you've detected before?" Ultear asked.
"There are two possibilities." Bourne raised two fingers on his right hand and said, "One that he is the one who has opened the twist on the sky or he might be the one who closes the twist on that sky." He wasn't sure how the people in Edolas were able to develop such a phenomenon to absorb the magic in this world, but one thing for sure, he could tell the technology in that world was more developed in this world and he couldn't find a way to enter Edolas.
If Bourne was able to enter the Edolas, then he wouldn't hesitate to destroy everything by drowning everything within the kingdom with a flood or freezing it, turning it into an Antarctic continent.
Bourne could tell that the people in that world didn't even think of the people in this world as a human or rather, they thought of him along with the people in this world as a source of magic.
Bourne knew that if Edolas couldn't be stopped then the entire continent, no, the world would disappear because it was being absorbed into Edolas.
"...."
The expression of Mirajane and Ultear became heavy when they heard Bourne's words.
"Don't tell Lisa about this matter," Bourne said.
"Why?"
"Not all of the people in Edolas are bad people. There is a high chance that only the people in the royal family know about this matter and the rest of the people are ignorant," Bourne said. He also didn't want to see Lisa have a sad expression since that girl was quite cute and bubbly.
"Thank you," Mirajane said with a smile.
Bourne raised his eyebrow and asked, "What are you thanking me for?" He didn't feel good being thanked so sincerely and it made his body feel a bit uncomfortable. He was a bad guy after all and not a good guy.
Mirajane smiled and said, "I just want to say thank you." She hummed and felt a bit happy since she could tell that Bourne had told them to keep this as a secret so Lisa wouldn't be guilty of what the people in her world had done.
"Just accept her thanks, what are you thinking so much about?" Ultear said with a smile and hugged Bourne's arm in a spoiled way.
Bourne shook his head and said, "Let's focus on searching the iron ore mine first."
Ultear and Mirajane only laughed and thought that this guy was quite cute.
