Chapter 41 - Mirajane, the Devil

"Sure, you can join." 

Makarov nodded as he looked at Lucy, who wanted to join Fairy Tail. 

"Huh? That's it? There are no requirements or whatever? I don't have to fight someone?" 

Lucy was dumbfounded when she learned that it was so easy to join the Fairy Tail, as she was prepared to face the sea of fire and all other adversaries to reach her goal! 

"Well..." 

Makarov looked at Lucy for a while, then looked at everyone who was in the mess as they fought each other. "Do you want to fight them?" 

"....." 

As she looked at everyone who fought with all their might and caused a disaster everywhere, she quickly shook her head, "No! No! No!" 

Makarov smiled and said, "I know what you are worried about, but Sato had invited you here, so it will be fine." 

"...did he have such authority?" 

"It's not an authority, but a trust." Makarov fixed Lucy's words with a smile. "He is that reliable, and we know that we can rely on him, as he won't hurt anyone. That's why, as he trusts you, we trust you." 

Especially when he compared Sato to all of his Fairy Tail members, who made all the mess and destroyed many things, which caused him to often clean up the mess and debt, which somehow made him cry. 

"Huwaa....."

As Makarov started to cry all of a sudden, Lucy was just at a loss. Still, she decided to move on and continued to think about Sato as usual, taking a peek at him, who was talking with the other members of the Fairy Tail, and never expecting that Sato would be trusted so much by the guild master. 

'Incredible...'

Yet wasn't this meant to be a sign that she hadn't chosen the wrong man? 

As she started to giggle lewdly, Makarov hesitated, and at the same time, he could feel that she would suit the guild well, considering how silly she appeared to be, but—

"Master, let me handle this." 

"Ah, um, yes!"

Makarov quickly left, and Mirajane came as she introduced herself. "Your name is Lucy Heartfillia, right? Hello, nice to meet you, Lucy. Can I call you that? By the way, my name is Mirajane Strauss. You can call me Mira."

"Ah, yes, Mira!" 

Lucy nodded, then asked unsurely, "A-Are you that Mira who is the most popular woman in the Fiore Kingdom?" 

"Ah, do you know me?" 

"I know you!" Lucy nodded eagerly, showing her admiration for this beautiful woman, who exuded an aura of gentleness and warmth, which made her understand why she was so popular. 

Still, if there was a reason why Lucy knew Mirajane, it was because Mirajane was the 1st most popular female magician that people wanted to date! 

However—

"But... I have never appeared in the magazine, right?" 

Unlike in the original, where Mirajane became a model for the magazine, to make money, and also to forget about many things, in this life, she had no need for such a job, as she lived with Sato, who didn't lack money, and she also never thought to expose her body to others except for him. 

Or rather, the others had thought of the two as a married couple already, especially when they were as good as living together. 

This was also the reason why Sato Fairy Tail never got jealous of Sato DxD. 

"...." Sato DxD. 

Still, how did Lucy know about Mirajane? 

"That might be the case, but many often took your photos secretly. Also, you are one of the strongest female magicians." 

"Well, that's true." Mirajane nodded. "There are many stupid guys." Yes, she was beautiful, but did they not even think of the consequences of trying to take her photos secretly? 

"....."

Lucy felt a shiver and wondered why it felt cold all of a sudden.

"Well, leave this problem aside. Where do you want your tattoo to be?" Mirajane asked. "Also, what color?" 

"Ah, I want it on the back of my palm, and also in a pink color!" 

"Okay." Mirajane nodded and gave Lucy a tattoo of Fairy Tail, which completed the registration process. "From now on, you are a member of Fairy Tail. Once again, nice to meet you, Lucy." 

"Ah, yes, Mira-san! Please take care of me, too!" 

"By the way, Lucy, can I ask you something?" Mirajane's eyes suddenly narrowed, and her smile appeared even gentler than ever, yet for all the women members of the Fairy Tail, they all could only sigh and look away from the cruel scene. 

"Ah, sure! As long as I can answer, then I will do my best!" 

"Are you here to aim for Sato-kun?" Mirajane asked with a knowing smirk. 

"Eh, ah, um... eh?!"

Lucy's face quickly turned red, shy, and blushing, yet it was impossible for her to tell the truth! 

At least, in just one try! 

"I-I am not..." 

Still, her resistance was weak. 

"Really~?" 

"I..." Lucy looked at Mirajane, like her female friend in the middle of the school trip, who wanted to listen, whether she had a crush or not. 

Well, she had never gone to school, thought. 

But—

"Don't you like him?" 

"I-I like him, and... well..." 

"As expected, huh?" 

"Huh?" 

The sudden change of tone from Mirajane made Lucy confused. 

"He is so popular, after all." 

"Huh? He is?! But, he isn't like a player!" 

"Well, he isn't a player, but even if he were, there are many who would fall for him. After all, you should know his personality, right?" 

"Hm..." 

Now, this was different from what Lucy thought. 

She had never expected that she would have competitors, but... as she thought of how strong he was, calm, and even could make her enjoy their moment together, wasn't it natural for him to be popular?

"B-But, if he is popular, why doesn't he have a girlfriend?" 

"Well, he has one." 

"He is?!" Lucy was dumbfounded, then asked in a tone of urgency. "W-Who is his girlfriend?" 

"Me~!" 

Despite her mischievous expression, Mirajane's act was like that of a devil. 

"..." 

No words came out of Lucy. 

She just stood there, wither, and became ash, dying. 

"Hey! Do something about your girlfriend! She is so cruel!" 

A young, beautiful woman with brown skin and an intense alcohol scent nudged his side, trying to remind him how cruel Mirajane was. 

Sato was silent and just picked up a barrel of alcohol that he bought in Hargeon City for this woman. 

"...this isn't enough to bribe me, Sato." 

"Then, don't drink it, Cana." 

Cana Albarone. 

The two of them could be said to be childhood friends, as they joined Fairy Tail at the same time, or rather, they were at the same orphanage when they lived. 

Naturally, many things were different with Cana, as he was there, but well, it didn't really matter since, at this moment, he was being pulled by Mirajane. 

"Let's go back, Sato~!" 

"...we're going back now?" 

"Oh, are you going somewhere again?" 

As her eyes kept staring at him in silence, waiting for his answer, whether he would accept or escape, Sato took a deep breath and then nodded. "Okay." 

"Good~!" Mirajane's smile was like a blooming flower, so sweet and beautiful. "But, take a bath first. You stink~!" 

"Am I?" 

Sato tried to smell his body, but he didn't think that he smelled because he always took care of his hygiene. 

"Yup, you stink!" 

Yup, he stunk of many vixens on his body, and because of that, it was better for him to wash all of those scents away. 

After all, if there was a scent on his body, it could only be her scent, right? 

As she thought so, she linked her arm against his, walking side by side, like a normal couple would. 

"You are so happy now." 

"Hehehe..." 

"..." Sato. 

Yet, while Mirajane was so happy, Lucy was there, dying until someone resurrected her. 

"Lucy, do you want to drink?" 

"It's my treat. Come on!" 

"You are all now one of us! Come on! Drink!" 

"Ugh..." 

Lucy might have lost a love, but she gained many comrades. 

"I WANT A BOYFRIEND!" 

"ME TOO!" 

"MIRAJANE IS SO DEVIL!" 

Yup, Mirajane was still a devil as ever. 

Still, Cana, who silently drank, kept staring until she couldn't see his figure, but at the same time, she also realized Lisanna wasn't around. 

---

You know what? 

I have been thinking about the DxD, and their real four Satans that consist of Lucifer, Beelzebub, Leviathan, and Asmodeus. 

Beelzebub and Leviathan aside, as their innate abilities are clear, I wonder what the power of Lucifer and Asmodeus is. 

According to the book, the name of the ability of the Lucifer is Demonic Brilliance of Evil Light and the power of the Asmodeus is Starsend Moment. 

If I connect those names, abilities, and the legends of the two devils, I can say that Lucifer has an ability to manipulate an evil light since Vali, the descendant of Lucifer, can manipulate light. 

As for Asmodeus, according to the book, its ability is Starsend Moment, and if we follow its legend, I can only conclude that its ability is a pleasure manipulation, like... it makes people climax to death? 

After all, the word "starsend" isn't it like having people to climax? 

There is no record in the book, so I can't make a judgment, and I have tried to avoid Asmodeus, but what do you think?
