Chapter 43: Talk

After arriving at Magnolia, Erza quickly excused herself from Natsu to meet up with Mira. She wanted to talk about her relationship with Natsu with her. Even though she maintained a calm exterior, she felt pretty nervous about talking to Mira about such a topic.

Natsu didn't stop her. He wanted both of them to sort it out themselves. If they couldn't even get along now, then they'd never be able to in the future. He wanted all of his lovers to get along like a big happy family. Otherwise, it'd be a disaster in the future when they travel together to another world.

Gray was nowhere to be seen. He'd already snuck out of the train silently. He didn't want to face Erza's demonic wrath.

It was starting to get dark, so Natsu headed over to his house instead of going to the guild. He ate a heavy meal, took a warm shower, and changed his clothes before lying down on his bed. He was mentally tired due to having a long day and wanted a sweet, relaxing sleep.

'I hope their talk went well.' Natsu thought before quickly drifting off into sleep.

Erza quickly headed to the guild. She barged in through the door and searched around for Mira. Mira could be seen standing around the usual counter. Erza walked up, took her hand, and forcefully dragged her someplace they can talk alone without giving her any chance to retort.

"I'm taking Mira with me for a second," Erza spoke before quickly dragging Mira toward an empty room in the guild.

Mira was surprised by this but didn't say anything in return. She was feeling frustrated at being unable to mend the relationship between her, Natsu, and Erza. So this was an excellent chance to talk to her about it. She wanted three of them to return to the way they used to be, but what she didn't know was that Erza felt the same way. After talking with Natsu, she wanted to fix the relationship between them, which had broken off due to her insecurities.

After closing the door and making sure there was nobody peeping at them, Erza sighed and turned to face Mira.

"So? Now can you tell me why you dragged me here? I hope it's not about those perverted novels again." Mira asked with a sly smile, causing Erza to blush and quickly shake her head to deny.

"N-No, it's not about them. I wanted to talk about your relationship with Natsu." Erza said while looking at Mira seriously. Mira was surprised by such an unexpected answer.

"What do you want to talk about? Natsu and I are both in a happy relationship. Every night he loves me so much. Unlike you, I don't have to relieve myself reading a perverted novel." Mira replied, holding her cheeks and shaking her head in a delighted manner while sporting a mischievous smile on her face.

Erza became deeply flushed upon hearing this and felt extremely jealous of Mira, but she quickly regained her bearings and spoke in an irritated manner. "Can you please stop bringing those perverted novels into the conversation. I want to have a serious talk with you about Natsu."

Mira calmed down and looked at Erza seriously. She somehow understood what Erza was trying to say. She looked at her severely and said. "What do you want to say about my lover? Are you finally feeling guilty after ignoring him for so long?"

Erza felt guilty after hearing her words, but she still had to have this conversation with Mira. It was a crucial decision in her life, after all. "Yes, I regret doing that very much. I know it was childish of me to ignore him for so long, but now I want to amend our relationship and make it like it was before. Natsu cleared up all the doubts that I previously had. I had a talk with him about it on the mission."

Mira was surprised hearing that Natsu successfully managed to talk to this block-headed girl. She understood where Erza was going hearing her reply.

"So he told you about our relationship, right?" Mira asked seriously.

"Yes. I was pretty surprised when he told me you agreed to share him. Are you really sure about this?" Erza doubtfully asked. She still didn't understand why Mira could agree to such an absurd thing so quickly.

"Yes, I'm pretty sure now. If it were before, maybe I would still have some doubts, but now I'm a hundred percent sure my decision was correct," Mira replied with a smirk. Erza became confused upon hearing this.

"Why? What changed your mind?" Erza asked doubtfully. She didn't fully trust Mira's words. Any normal girl would feel dissatisfied about sharing their lover.

Mira had a sly smile, approached Erza, and lewdly whispered into her ears. "Natsu is pretty wild in the sack. I can't handle his furious dragon all by myself anymore. So, I need some sisters to help me calm him down. What do you think? Do you want to join us in bed as well? I'm sure you'll never need to read another one of those perverted novels after having a taste of him. Do you want to taste the forbidden fruit of Eden?"

Erza blushed madly after hearing such lewd words coming out of her friend's mouth. Still, she started imagining herself getting loved by her favorite dragon slayer, just like those erotic novels she read, making her even more embarrassed. Mira smirked while watching her expression. It wouldn't be long before Erza fell into Natsu's villainous clutches.

"L-Let me think about it. T-this is all so sudden. I-I need some time to decide." Erza stuttered, with her face as crimson as her hair due to the sudden embarrassment.

"Sure, but let me remind you about something, Natsu won't wait forever. He's bound to leave this place someday. Just don't delay it for too long. Otherwise, you'll never get another chance." Mira stated with a stern expression, making Erza shocked.

"Thanks for the reminder. You're right. I shouldn't delay it for too long. Thanks for all the help, Mira. I'm delighted to have you as a friend." Erza replied, bowing her head. She was glad to have such a helpful friend.

"It's no big deal. Besides, I'm already his first woman, that's all that matters to me. I need to return to the counter. Talk to you later, Erza!" Mira replied, casually dismissing her. Then, she left Erza alone in the room. Erza stood up, watching Mira's retreating figure with a smile.

"She's changed a lot. If it were before, she wouldn't hesitate to mock me for such a blunder, but now she's even helping me get together with her lover," Erza mumbled with a fond expression.

But Mira suddenly peeked out of the door with a mischievous expression and said. "And Erza! Please don't read so many erotic novels. It's pretty unhealthy to relieve yourself with them constantly."

"Y-You, she-devil!" Erza shouted with an embarrassed expression. Mira stuck her tongue out in a teasing manner and left while cackling loudly.

"I take back my words. She's still the same as before," Erza muttered with a smile. She then left the room. She had a lot of things to think about. So she left the guild and headed over to her dorm.
