(Harukin's POV)
- Fairy Tail World, x686 -
---------Three days later,
While traveling together at the western forest of Magnolia.
"Ugh..."
Ahead of us was Zeref walking in the distance.
He suddenly halted and trembled,
"You guys! Why are you keep following me around?!" he finally got annoyed and yelled.
Lolisa pointed at me,
"It's Onii-sama's fault. He keeps messing around with you that we lost the person we've been looking together."
The others nodded with her.
I just shrugged my shoulders,
"It's just a coincidence that we're going in the same direction, Zeref. The place we're going is Magnolia Town. Isn't it more fun traveling together?"
"Haru, aren't you aware of my Ankhseram Curse? It's dangerous if you get close to me especially your companions."
"It's fine as long as they stay close to me. They won't get affected by your black miasma because of my magic."
"Haru-shounen, what does he mean by curse?" All Might whispered close to my ears and asked.
"Okay, I'll explain to guys. Zeref was cursed by the God of Life and Death named Ankhseram. It's called the Curse of Contradiction where the curse immortalizes the victim and causes them to uncontrollably exude a black miasma that instantaneously kills all life it touches. The only way to stop this is for the victim to forget the value of life."
"What a horrible curse..."
"Anyone who contorts the balance between life and death will get this curse. He tried to revive his dead little brother and got inflicted by this curse."
...
"Onii-sama, does that mean we'll die if we get separated from you right now?" Lolisa clung into my arms and asked.
"Well, yeah. But that doesn't mean you have to get too close me. As long as you keep your distance at Zeref, you won't die."
Few minutes later, we decided to rest and camped in the forest.
While lighting up a bonfire with everyone preparing the tent, I saw Zeref walking away in the distance.
Am I really that annoying?
"You guys, stay here. I'm gonna check on something."
"Praetor?"
I stood up and followed after Zeref.
I found him near the lake as he took off all of his clothes.
He slowly walk through the lake and swam.
Seeing him, I grinned stripping off my clothes and jumped very high.
"Zeref!" I yelled loudly.
I made my body in curled-up position with the arms pressing the knees against my chest.
"Huh?"
Zeref looked above and saw me falling down.
His face went pale.
"Haru!"
"Cannonball!"
*Boom!* *Splash!*
The water splashed on him.
...
Rising up, I spit out some water from my mouth.
Taking out a bottle of 'Sake' from my dimensional storage,
"Hey, Zeref! How about we drink some alcohol while taking a bath?"
...
He was not responding.
I waved in front of his face.
"Zeref? Are you there? Why are you ignoring me? Black Wizard, Zeref?"
He looks annoyed as he turned his back at me.
"Hey!"
....
He doesn't want to talk with me.
I guess I don't have other choice.
Putting back the alcohol in my dimensional storage, I took out a trumpet and played it close to him.
(Play: Trumpet Meme)
I teleported and danced around, bumping into him several times.
Several veins popped on his forehead.
He still able to endure it.
Spinning around, swaying in front of him while playing the trumpet, he was trembling in anger.
"Demon King, Haru..."
I stopped playing,
"What is it, Black Wizard Zeref?"
"I hate you!"
We grappled, struggling with each other.
"Isn't that better because of your curse? Well... it doesn't work on me anyway."
"Ugh! You're so annoying!"
Even though, he looks in pain because of me, he was able to endure it.
"Kyah!"
Suddenly, we heard someone scream.
"Huh?"
We saw a little girl on the other side of the lake looking at us with flustered face.
It was Mavis Vermilion, the girl that we've been looking for the group chat quest.
She immediately looked away and covered her face in embarrassment.
"I... I'm sorry! I had no idea some people was..."
"You must leave this place." Zeref spoke.
Knowing something might change if I stayed with them longer, I immediately teleported away and hid behind the tree while putting on my clothes.
I noticed that the trees and grasses around me was withering.
"There he go again, getting emotional."
Concentrating my breathing, I spread my Hamon in my surroundings to lessen the damage cause by Zeref's curse.
*Sigh*
I sighed, going back to our camp.
---
While grilling meat for our dinner.
Shinobu tried the taste of cooking,
"Hmmm! It's good, Haru."
Lolisa looks proud.
"Hehe... Onii-sama's cooking are very delicious and I really love it. You guys should try it ."
Nero was eating like there's no tomorrow.
What a glutton...
She reminds me of Akame.
Hayasaka and Esdeath was silently eating.
King has already finished eating,
"I'm going to rest now." he stood up and went inside the tent for males early.
I noticed that he was trembling.
Good luck King, there's no console here in this world for you to play Eroge. It's medieval age after all.
I passed a cup of tea to All might.
"Thank you."
"Are you guys going to be okay in own worlds? It's been few days after all since you guys arrived here."
"Don't worry, Onii-sama. The quest told us that the time on our world will stop once we came here. That's why, Hayasaka decided to join with us since she's always busy."
I glanced at Hayasaka.
This is a good way to rest from her job as Shinomiya's servant and bodyguard.
"Wait! What about you and others? Aren't your time still running here? Doesn't that mean you guys are still aging here?"
"We also don't have to worry about that, Onii-sama. It seems our time will stop also and won't age no matter how long we stay here."
"Lolisa, let me remind you that I'm already stuck here in the past for several centuries. My actual age right now is already 399 years old."
"Pffffft!" Esdeath spilled out her tea.
*Cough!* *Cough!*
"399 years old?! Almost four centuries!"
All Might together with everyone was completely shock.
Only Nero who wasn't surprised by my age.
As expected from the Emperor of Ancient Rome.
Technically, she's still older than me.
When she noticed my stare, she just smiled.
"Umu!"
(Img<<<)
"Waaaahh! Onii-sama became ancient person!"
Lolisa was panicking.
"Shut up! Don't talk when you mouth is full. How many times do I have to say that." I scolded her.
Suddenly,
"Haru!"
"Huh?"
It was Zeref calling me in the distance.
He was with Mavis and her companions.
They all went towards us.
Mavis bowed in front me together with
"Haru, I'm sorry about what happened in the lake!"
"Hm?"
There was a young girl in her early teens beside her. She has brown hair that she keeps tied up in twin tails and a set of bangs that hang in unkempt waves over her forehead.
(Img<<<)
She was surprised when I noticed her.
This must be Zera, her illusion friend.
I can see her .
"No, it's okay! I already used being seen naked."
"What?!" Mavis was shock becoming embarrassed.
"Please wear some clothes!" she scolded me.
"That's unfair! I wanted to see Onii-sama's naked body too!" Lolisa complained.
"Shut up!"
*Bonk!*
I hit her head.
"Ouch!"
...
I noticed Mavis staring at me.
"Huh? Is something with my face?"
"Oh, I'm sorry! I haven't introduce myself. My name is Mavis Vermilion. These are my friends named Zera, Yuri, Precht and Warrod."
Yuri was a tall teenage young man with medium-length, wavy and spiked dark-blond hair; he had thick eyebrows and very prominent eyelashes.
He's wearing a black turtleneck, over the top of which he wore a leather jacket with a folded, fur-trimmed collar and breast pockets on either side. He also wore simple pants with frayed hems and plain black shoes.
(Img<<<)
Warrod was a very well-built young man; his head, somewhat rectangular in shape, was covered with messy hair on its top. Back then, Warrod was dressed in a sleeveless top with a belt and trousers.
(Img<<<)
"Yoh!" Yuri waved at us.
"Nice to meet you too guys. My name is Haru. The people behind me are my little sister Lolisa, Nero, Shinobu, Esdeath, Hayasaka, All Might and the last one inside the tent, King."
I introduced, pointing at them one by one.
"Uhmmm... Haru? I have something wanted to ask you curiously. Is it okay?" Mavis requested.
"Sure, What is it, Mavis?"
"Haru, do you believe in fairies?"
...
I smiled,
"Yeah, they are delicious."
Mavis was completely shock.
"You eat them?!"
"Of course, fairies are emergency food after all."
