Before long, Mavis brought Cana and Lucy to prison.
"It's been a while, Haru," Cana said with a knowing smile while looking at Haru and Brandish. She knew Haru, but she didn't expect this guy to be able to eat their enemies.
"It's been a while, Haru." Lucy also knew Haru, but her expression wasn't as good as Cana's since she had talked with Brandish since she knew that Haru was a scumbag.
Still, Brandish stared at Haru with a blank expression.
Haru coughed and said, "Sorry for troubling you before. Also, it seems that Brandish has something to talk about with Lucy."
"Eh? Me?" Lucy was dumbfounded, but then she nodded since she also had something to talk about with Brandish. "Okay, I also have something to talk about with Brandish ---" However, before she finished her words, she was cut by Cana.
"Haru, I know that you're alright, but what about this woman? She's the enemy, after all. Also, what's your relationship with her?" Cana quickly asked.
Hearing Cana's question, Lucy and Mavis also looked at Haru with serious expressions since they knew how powerful Haru was. Even though they knew that Haru was coming from the Infinite Guild, if he happened to be a member of the Alvarez Empire, then... they might not be able to handle the consequences.
"You don't need to worry about her. She won't do anything to you guys. I can guarantee it. As for my relationship with her, it might take a long time to tell it to you guys, and we don't really have much of time, do we?" Haru said.
Haru's guarantee caused Mavis, Cana, and Lucy to nod. After all, as a handsome guy, it was quite easy for the opposite gender to believe him.
Cana pouted and said, "Well, in the future, I'll get a chance for you to talk."
"Thanks." Haru didn't say much nonsense and nodded.
"By the way, do you want to talk in the free room or something so we can talk more comfortably?" Even though Lucy thought of Haru as a scumbag, without a doubt, he was the most handsome man that she had ever seen in her life, and it made her beat so fast looking at him. He was like a drug, a lot of people knew that it was bad, but they couldn't stop it.
"Okay." Haru nodded, and Brandish just followed Haru for as long as he was there. She would follow him since she didn't want to part with him again.
Still, Brandish kept staring at Lucy, which made her feel confused, but at the same time, Lucy also knew that Brandish was curious about her mother, Layla, which also made Lucy curious about why Brandish was asking for her mother? What was the relationship between the two?
Lucy wanted to know more about this information and mystery no matter what.
Haru and Brandish walked out of jail calmly and followed Lucy, Cana, and Mavis to the infirmary, where they could talk freely.
Still, they asked him how Haru could enter this place so suddenly, and Haru could only say that their security was just so damn weak that he could enter this place freely without caring much. Of course, he didn't say it in a rude way but said it subtly, but even so, the three of them could only smile helplessly, thinking that Haru was too strong, right?
After all, Makarov, who was also inside the headquarters, also didn't notice him.
Still, they didn't let other members of the Fairy Tail look at Haru since they knew how dangerous his charm was, or they might not want to share him with the rest of them. Lastly, they were so jealous of Brandish, who hugged Haru's arm with a contended expression as if a dog that had met her long-lost master.
As they entered the infirmary, Cana and Mavis walked out of the room since they could trust Haru, and it seemed that Lucy also had something that she wanted to talk about with Brandish.
Haru looked at Brandish and could only sigh since this woman was quite lonely, especially after she had lost her mother.
"So, what do you want to talk about?" Lucy said that her conversation with Brandish in the bathroom ended so abruptly that she didn't know what was happening.
"My name is Brandish." Brandish looked at Lucy while hugging Haru's arm since she was afraid for him to escape, then said, "And my mother's name is Grammy..." She looked away for a moment before she felt Haru patting her head. She looked at him with a smile and rubbed her head against him, which made Lucy feel so jealous. And could only grit her teeth, watching the two of them flirting with each other, but then Lucy's heart stopped when she heard the words that came out of Brandish's mouth. "And she was one of your mother's disciples."
"....." Lucy's heart almost stopped at that moment.
Brandish ignored Lucy's reaction and continued to talk about how Layla, Lucy's mother, gave up on becoming a Celestial Magician and gave her keys to three of her disciples. She said that her mother received the Aquarius key, but then, she said, "But... but Layla betrayed her."
"What did my mother do...?" Lucy asked.
"Where did your key come from?"
"It... was my mother's..."
"The key was supposed to be left in my mother's care... how could it have ended up with yours then?"
"..." Lucy could only stare at Brandish in a daze as Brandish said, "Layla had killed her so she could take back her key..."
"!!!"
Lucy's chest started to get stuffy, and she had a hard time believing it. "No... my mother wouldn't have..."
"Ah, how naive. A girl living in her own little world..." Brandish was about to leap into Lucy and kill her, but Haru quickly hugged her and stopped her.
Brandish was stunned when Haru stopped her and asked, "Why did you stop me, Haru?"
"Lucy's mother might not be the one who killed your mother ---"
Haru hadn't finished his words, but Brandish cut his words. "How could you believe her?" She was on the verge of crying, staring at Haru.
"Let's talk to Aquarius," Haru said simply.
"..." Brandish and Lucy.
Haru looked at Lucy and then said, "What are you gawk for? Hurry up and summon the Aquarius."
"Ah, yes!"
Without hesitation, Lucy summoned the Aquarius and a beautiful woman with long blue hair.
Haru looked at Aquarius and nodded thoughtfully, thinking that most of the girls and women were beautiful, and it might be his first time to look at the mermaid. Still, she was so charming, and somehow he could see that this woman was like pepper. She might not have a good temper, but she was hot.
When Aquarius was summoned, she also knew that something might happen, and when she thought about what was happening, she directly looked at Haru. She stagnated for a moment before her cheeks flushed instantly.
"...."
Looking at the reaction of the Aquarius, Brandish and Lucy weren't sure why, but they felt that they shouldn't let Aquarius meet Haru, or else...
Lucy somehow felt sorry for Scorpion all of a sudden.
