Chapter 547 Is this bastard really a professional reporter?
The reporter from the Magic Weekly arrived as scheduled.
"Cool! This...this scene is so familiar!"
"Completely different from the lifeless atmosphere when I visited a year ago. Fairy Tail is back! It's truly revived!!"
Before anyone even arrived, excited voices, as if they'd taken stimulants, rang out first.
It's obvious without even looking that Soshara sent out his old acquaintance, reporter Jason, to do this special interview.
Jason hasn't changed much in the past two and a half years. The tuft of hair on his forehead is still noticeable. He's wearing simple casual clothes, with an expensive-looking magic camera hanging around his neck and a shoulder bag containing various interview tools on his back.
"Chess, Natsu, Erza, Mira, Mr. Makarov—"
"Just like the rumors said, everyone looks exactly the same as they did two and a half years ago, cool~!!"
As if returning to his long-lost hometown, Jason rushed into the guild, glanced at the guild members, then raised his arms, clenched his fists, and shouted excitedly at the ceiling.
Unfortunately, the feedback from the scene was quite limited.
"It really is this guy." Chase picked up his beer, took a sip, and said casually.
"Mr. Jason doesn't seem to have changed much." Erza picked up the strawberry cake in front of her, which she used to mend her emotional wounds, and took a bite.
In the past, she would have taken the interview with the Magic Weekly very seriously, and might even have dressed up carefully like a certain blonde girl, since it concerned her and the guild's image.
But now—
The Fairy Queen stole a glance at Chess sitting opposite her, and her heart skipped a beat.
Image isn't particularly important; just let things take their natural course.
"My judgment of people has clearly deteriorated. Even Elfman praised me for becoming more beautiful than before, but as a reporter, I didn't notice."
Mira, on the other side, propped her cheek up with one hand, her beautiful eyes darting around. "I'll have to give her a good hard time later!"
Before he could finish speaking, Jason ignored Lucy, who was posing seductively in the aisle, and rushed over, stopping just in front of their table with a powerful leap.
If we're talking about who gets the most attention in Fairy Tail, then without a doubt it's Chess, who has topped the list of most destructive characters countless times. As for whether his reputation is good or bad, let's not worry about that for now.
Fairy Queen Erza and Demon Mirajane are also incredibly popular mages.
Even if these three people get together and don't ask anything, just a photo of their return can boost newspaper sales to a whole new level!
Not to mention, on his way to Fairy Tail, Jason also heard a piece of gossip that was sure to cause a sensation!
"Mr. Chase, Miss Mira, Miss Erza, it's been a long time!"
Perhaps due to his excitement, Jason had no intention of catching up or engaging in small talk. After a brief greeting, he went straight to the point, "May I begin this interview?"
"No problem, please, Mr. Jason." Erza reluctantly put down the strawberry cake, placed her hands flat on the table, and sat up slightly.
She has considerable experience and composure when it comes to giving interviews, and she knew exactly what Jason was going to ask next.
It's nothing more than why they disappeared for so long, what happened in between, and how they came back.
"Then I—" Jason set up the magic camera with great professionalism.
"Wait a moment."
Chase interrupted, then raised his hand to wipe the cream off Erza's lips. "This is going to be in the newspapers. Watch your image."
Feeling the gentle touch on her fingertips, Erza blushed slightly. But then she thought, she had already taken the most important step, so this kind of intimate behavior that seemed normal to outsiders didn't seem like a big deal.
She was Chase's girlfriend and couldn't embarrass herself in front of the camera!
As a result, the overwhelming sense of shame that was about to burst forth was gradually suppressed.
Erza felt proud of her small progress and looked up at Jason: "Okay, we can begin."
"Cool!! It seems the information I heard was correct after all!"
Jason excitedly raised his magical camera, pointing the reflective lens at Chase and his companions. "Miss Erza, when did you and Miss Mira get together with Mr. Chase? Who confessed first? What was the scene like?"
"Yes, the scene was indeed dangerous; we encountered a very powerful enemy—"
Erza calmly recited her prepared words, but abruptly stopped halfway through, "Who confessed first?!"
In an instant, the suppressed shame broke free and turned into a large amount of steam that emerged from her head.
Wasn't I supposed to be asking about the past two and a half years? Why did this come up right off the bat?
Is this bastard really a professional journalist?!
"Oh my, what an unexpected start!" Mira laughed.
Chase opened his arms and gently embraced the two, completely unfazed by the magical camera that was practically shoved in their faces, as if declaring his ownership: "That's right, Erza and Mira are my girlfriends now, and they will be my wives in the future!"
"Although it didn't answer my question, but—"
Jason quickly pressed the shutter button, successfully finding the perfect angle for the photo, then raised his arms and shouted, "Cool!"
!!
The two strongest female mages in Fairy Tail are now in relationships, and this domineering yet ambiguous photo is sure to become the hottest topic tomorrow once it's published.
"It's hard to say whether he'll be the most popular, but Chesgo is definitely going to become the public enemy of all men in the country—" Romeo, who was watching from a distance, could see it clearly.
"If he were afraid, he wouldn't be Chess," the old father, Marcao, sighed, shaking his head with a smile.
Ordinary people really don't have his courage, let alone his ability.
Over there, Jason looked eager to dig up more news (and get more gossip).
However, Mira abruptly interrupted him with a single sentence: "Mr. Jason seems to have always been alone. Could he still be single?"
Upon hearing this, Jason's expression froze, as if he had been stabbed in the knee by a demon.
The lively and bustling atmosphere immediately turned quiet.
"As expected of you." Chase secretly gave Mira a thumbs up.
Public relations are enough; he doesn't want to, and doesn't need to, talk about so many private matters with outsiders.
Jason, however, is the kind of person who's relentlessly persistent; even if you hit him a couple of times, he'll still yell "cool cool cool!"
Mira glanced at him sideways and gave him a cute, proud look: Hmph, I'm not like that useless steampunk girl next to me who only knows how to emit steam~
Next, Jason, who was hit hard, did not mention the romance again, but instead asked Erza about the disappearance of the main Fairy Tail members that she had previously anticipated.
Because it involved the extremely dangerous black dragon Acnologia and Ankhseram, and the idea of traveling to the future was simply unbelievable, appearing in the public eye would cause chaos, Chase did not tell them the truth, but instead dealt with it simply by telling them a rather peculiar adventure.
This was something Makarov had arranged in advance, and he had also informed the Magic Weekly.
Therefore, this step is basically just going through the motions to satisfy outsiders' curiosity.
