Chapter 7 Fairy Tail
Fairy Tail.
This is a shonen anime that Shirou Kotomine watched a long time ago in his previous life. The story mainly revolves around the events that take place in a magic guild called "Fairy Tail" on a continent filled with magic.
In this world, magic is practically everywhere.
No wonder the [Danger Detection] on Kotomine Shirou's wrist kept vibrating when he was strolling around the streets.
There must be people with magical items everywhere in this world.
Although the vast majority of these magical items are not dangerous.
For example, the shopkeeper in front of Shirou Kotomine at this moment is introducing a magical item to the blonde girl. The item he is introducing is a magical item whose color changes depending on the holder's mood.
For Shirou Kotomine, this tool was completely useless.
But that is currently the best-selling product in this store.
Unlike other worlds where magic is only in the hands of a few, in this world, magic has long been deeply integrated into people's lives.
This is a truly magical society.
...
"Fairy Tail? There are quite a few strong individuals in this world."
After confirming the world he had entered, Shirou Kotomine began to quickly recall information about it.
Unfortunately, more than twenty years had passed since Shirou Kotomine watched that anime in his previous life.
The memories of the past have long since faded.
At this moment, all he could recall were those memorable figures and famous scenes.
Even so, Shirou Kotomine has already decided on his next move.
That is to join "Fairy Tail".
Even in this society full of magic, only a very small number of people are willing to become mages.
A so-called mage is someone who makes a living by relying on magic.
And the place where mages gather is the guild.
Guilds receive commissions from various sectors of society and then distribute them to their members in exchange for payment.
Only by joining a guild can mages have a stable source of quests and a stable income.
However, the number of commissions in society is limited, and when posting commissions, commissioners will naturally consider the guild's reputation.
Therefore, the more famous a guild is, the more commissions it can get, and the higher the quality of those commissions will be.
Guild members can then continuously accept quests.
Guilds with a bad reputation or that are virtually unknown receive commissions that are simply not enough to support themselves.
Therefore, members of every guild are partners with each other.
At this time, the most famous guild in the kingdom where Shirou Kotomine was located was Fairy Tail.
That's also the guild where the main characters in the anime related to Shirou Kotomine's past life and this world stayed.
Having ascertained the information about this world and recalled some past intelligence, Shirou Kotomine already had a general plan in mind.
Although he's not good at planning, he's good at making friends.
What he needed to do at that moment was to make friends with Lucy, the Celestial Spirit Mage, the female protagonist of the anime he had in mind.
Welcome!
Upon seeing Shirou Kotomine enter, the shop owner, who was haggling with the blonde Lucy, hurriedly and warmly welcomed him.
Seeing this, Lucy, who was about to resort to some underhanded means, quickly composed herself and put on the appearance of a passerby.
It turns out that Lucy has already found the item she wanted.
However, they got into a dispute with the shop owner over the price, and the two kept haggling over it.
But the shop owner absolutely refused to budge.
They wouldn't even give up 1J.
This really infuriated Lucy.
Amidst the shop owner's welcoming greetings, Shirou Kotomine walked straight to the counter and placed the longsword he had taken from his back on it.
"Please give me an estimate."
"Oh, so you're a seller."
Seeing this, the shop owner immediately smiled.
Since the other party came to the magic item shop to sell things, they would naturally only be selling magic items.
Since it is a sword, it must be a magical artifact used in combat.
Unlike the everyday magical items in his shop, the combat magical items are far superior in both price and availability.
If this deal goes well, he can easily make a fortune.
So the shop owner immediately picked up the sword that Kotomine Shirou had placed on the counter and examined it carefully.
Meanwhile, Shirou Mine stood in front of the counter, silently watching this scene.
This sword was the one that Kotomine Shirou used on the front lines in Uruk, but it wasn't exactly a fine piece.
This was just one of the weapons he randomly picked up from the weapons sent from the rear; it had simply been treated with some magic by him.
Therefore, this sword is much sharper than other swords.
As for why he sold the sword?
Besides needing to exchange money, the more important thing is to seize opportunities.
Try to find a legitimate opportunity to talk to the female lead next to you.
"You're a Celestial Spirit Mage?"
Looking at the silver key in the girl's hand, Shirou Kotomine asked with 'curiosity'.
"Huh? Yes, I am indeed a Celestial Spirit Mage. Are you a mage too?"
Lucy was startled when she suddenly heard Shirou Kotomine's question, but after understanding the question, she immediately responded and even asked a question in return.
"That's right, my name is Kotomine Shirou, and I am also a mage."
"As expected! My name is Lucy. I didn't expect to meet other mages here."
Although there are many people in this world who can use magic, very few are willing to become a mage.
After all, the work of a mage is notoriously dangerous.
Therefore, Lucy was still very happy to meet other mages during her travels.
...
"It only sold for 100000 J. I think Shirou, your sword should have sold for more. You really shouldn't have agreed so readily. You just let that boss get a freebie."
"It's okay. Even if it's a bit more expensive, it won't be by much. Besides, I really need the money right now."
After leaving the shop together, Lucy complained about the shop owner.
After chatting in the shop, Shirou Kotomine and Lucy had become much more familiar with each other.
However, Lucy's dissatisfaction did not stem from any improvement in her relationship with Shirou Kotomine.
Instead, she kept haggling with the shop owner to buy the Canis Minor Celestial Key, which was worth 20000 J, but the owner wouldn't budge on the price by even 1 J.
In the end, Lucy bought the Canis Minor key at full price.
Lucy is a Celestial Spirit Mage, and a Celestial Spirit Mage is a mage who uses the Celestial Spirit Key to make a contract with a Celestial Spirit in the Celestial Spirit Realm and summon them to fight.
In short, it's a summoner.
The Celestial Key is the medium for summoning.
Therefore, the importance of the Celestial Key to Celestial Mages is beyond doubt.
Without the Celestial Spirit Key, a Celestial Spirit Mage is practically no threat whatsoever.
"I see. If you really need the money, then there's nothing I can do. After all, this is the only magic shop in this city."
Upon hearing Shirou Kotomine's words, Lucy couldn't help but think of herself.
She herself is now dirt poor.
In the past, she would never have gone to such lengths to argue over something worth 20000 J, let alone considered using her beauty to seduce someone.
"Indeed, you can have a lot of money, but you absolutely cannot do without it."
Kotomine Shirou couldn't help but sigh.
Lucy nodded in deep agreement.
"But these predicaments are only temporary. Once I join Fairy Tail, everything will be alright."
As he spoke, a happy smile appeared on Kotomine Shirou's face.
"Fairy Tail? Shirou, are you also planning to join Fairy Tail?"
Upon hearing Shirou Kotomine's words, Lucy immediately exclaimed in surprise.
After all, her goal is also Fairy Tail!
