Chapter 183: Chapter 183: Getting cozy with Ultear when suddenly—
It had to be said—these girls from the parallel world were full of energy, with long legs, slim waists, and swimsuits.
And all this content was free?
As he admired the swimsuit streams, Nate found himself deep in thought. In his previous life, live streaming had leaned into slightly provocative content as it developed. It seemed this world wasn't so different.
It really confirmed that, across realities, certain types of content drive the biggest numbers.
But this also brought up a dilemma... should he step in and moderate some of this content?
Honestly, it was still under control for now—at least they hadn't gone as far as offering anything scandalous.
Wait, he'd better not get too comfortable! It was still broad daylight, but what about the late-night streams? Would they get even racier?
That would need some personal verification when the time came.
Next, Nate checked out some other streams.
Finally, he returned to the most popular one:
*Guiding You Through Magnolia's Harvest Festival! Tonight's Highlight: Fairy Tail's Magic Parade!*
The title seemed completely fine.
When Nate entered, he found Jenny Realight on screen, navigating the lively festival streets and occasionally stopping at various stalls.
He also noticed the leaderboard, where "Sigma Male" held the top spot with a whopping 10,000-point gift.
Nate chuckled. "Looks like I'll be the top gifter for a while."
With the stream playing, he continued his patrol of the East District.
...
Meanwhile, aboard the Grimoire Heart's floating ship, in the dining area:
Hades sipped leisurely from a wine glass, savoring his red wine.
On the floor nearby lay Kain Hikaru, motionless.
"His soul is missing..." Deputy Commander Bluenote Stinger, who had been examining him, stood up and stated.
"Likely the Soul Magic—Soul Extraction."
Hades smiled. "Makarov's kids are quite capable, aren't they?"
Despite Kain's significant strength, the fact that they managed to extract his soul without killing him showed that the Ten Wizard Saint, Nate, was indeed impressive.
"Maybe I should handle this myself," Bluenote grinned. "I doubt any of the other Seven Kin could stand a chance against that man."
"No, once you're involved, the situation's bound to escalate," Hades declined Bluenote's offer. "Our objective is Ultear and Meredy—not the destruction of Fairy Tail."
Bringing these two back wasn't to have them rejoin the Kin of Purgatory; it was to administer punishment.
Did they really think they could just say, "I want to leave Grimoire Heart," and be done with it?
Did they take his dark guild for a mere inn, where one could come and go at will?
"Why don't we sit back and wait for the news? There's no rush," Hades continued with a wry smile. "After all, Bluenote, the festival's only just begun."
Bluenote sank back into his chair across from Hades, grabbing his fork to cut into another piece of steak.
Through a mouthful of food, he muttered, "Alright, but if night falls and we haven't heard anything, I'll head down there myself."
...
Eastern Forest
While everyone else enjoyed the festival, Nate lay back on a tree branch, leisurely watching a livestream.
He figured he could consider it celebrating with Jenny.
Two hours passed without incident. Then, as noon approached, he heard a familiar voice beneath the tree.
"There you are."
Looking down, he saw Ultear holding a lunchbox. She called up to him, smiling playfully. "Hungry? I brought lunch—don't forget to thank your sister."
Nate leapt down, taking the lunchbox from her. Opening it, he found a perfectly balanced meal with all his favorites.
"You made this?"
"Yes, I did. Aren't you lucky?" she teased. "Now, eat up! But if you say it's not good, I'll have to punish you."
Nate leaned against the tree and took a bite. The taste surprised him; it was delicious.
"Good?" she asked with a hint of expectation.
"Very." Nate nodded, thinking privately that while Mirajane's cooking might be his favorite, followed by Lucy's, Ultear's was wonderful in its own way. It wasn't about skill—it was her thoughtfulness.
Ultear leaned against him, laughing softly. She knew her cooking wasn't anything amazing but loved hearing the compliment.
Unexpectedly, Nate's hand found its way to her thigh.
She laughed and teased, "Can't you even eat without mischief?"
"There's a phrase in my homeland—'beauty so appetizing, a man could be satisfied just by touch.'"
She laughed, doubting the phrase truly meant that, yet she let him continue. She took the lunchbox and chopsticks, saying, "Open up. Let me feed you—your hands are better off elsewhere, aren't they?"
Nate chuckled, enjoying her doting attention as she fed him. Her legs were long, toned, and smooth, with just enough shape for a perfect balance.
Half an hour later, with the meal finished, Nate lay down, resting his head on her lap.
"You smell amazing," he murmured, getting comfortable.
Ultear stroked his hair, but as his hands began creeping under her skirt, she gave him a light pinch.
"What are you doing?"
"Exactly that."
"...No way." She blushed, realizing what he meant. The thought alone had her face turning crimson.
"There's no need to be so shy. It's not like anyone is going to... huh?"
Nate suddenly sat up, his gaze shifting toward a large tree nearby.
Noticing his reaction, Ultear also went serious, following his line of sight.
A face gradually emerged from the trunk, formed by the bark itself.
"Azuma..." Ultear's voice was cold, her demeanor completely different from earlier.
"Long time no see, Ultear." The face in the tree spoke with a flat tone. "Leaving Grimoire Heart so suddenly, you gave us all quite the shock. So this is what you left for... following a boyfriend."
Azuma's gaze shifted toward Nate, ignoring Ultear. "I'm only here for one reason. I seek the thrill of fighting someone strong—and you, you are strong!"
