Chapter 7 - 10 Years Flew By

Time flies…

In a peaceful town.

One was wearing a knight long skirt with armor, braiding long crimson hair into a ponytail. A little girl with a delicate face, about ten years old, is closely following a little boy with short brown-red hair who looks similar to the little girl’s age. They are holding some daily necessities in their arms, similar to toothpaste , facial cleanser, towels, etc…

“Oh? Isn’t this Evan and Erza? Are they out shopping?” The two walked forward quickly, but because of their height restrictions, they didn’t walk too fast compared to adults. The owners of some shops in the surrounding towns saw it. When they arrived, they greeted the two immediately, “This is our newly caught fish, you can eat it!”

“Thank you, Uncle Tom!”

Hearing this, the short brown-red boy smiled and shook his head towards the enthusiastic boss and spoke. “But we decided to eat apple pie tonight…”

“Take it, take it, remember to prepare some more of your latest croissant for me tomorrow morning. My kid has been clamoring for it, but every time I go, it’s all sold out!”

The uncle named Tom couldn’t help but stuff the fresh sea fish in his hand into the arms of the brown-red haired short boy.

“Then thank you, Uncle Tom!”

The brown-red short-haired boy, that is, Evan, bowed slightly towards the owner of the fish shop, thanking him.

Then he continued to move forward with the girl with long crimson hair behind him.

“It’s okay, it’s okay, let’s go! Isn’t your mother still waiting for you?” The owner of the fish shop waved his hand indifferently.

“Oh, why are other people’s children so sensible?”

“Why does that stupid kid in my family always fight around all day long. Otherwise, he just looks for mud to play with~”

“However, the girl Erza has become more and more graceful in recent years. If you can say that she will be my daughter-in-law, hehe…”

The owner of the fish shop looked at the boy and others who were getting farther and farther away, thinking about it in his heart, but after a while he shook his head helplessly, and muttered: “Let’s forget it! My kid is not worthy of being like Erza. She’s such a good girl!”

The owner of the fish shop seems to be very self-aware.

The boy and the girl continued to move forward, and the scenes that were shown in front of the fish shop owner before were happening in the whole town. It seems that boys and girls are very cute in this small town! By the time the boy and the girl arrived at their shop, they almost had too much stuff in their hands.

“Erza, put your things down first! Today is your tenth birthday, brother has prepared a gift for you!”

The brown-red-haired boy saw that there was no one on the left and right, and with a single thought, he dragged all the things on the girl behind him with gravity. In fact, these things themselves were also made weightless by the boy. The boy and the girl pretended to hold these things just to avoid being too ostentatious.

“Gift?! What gift?!”

The girl walked up to the boy excitedly and asked.

“You’ll know when you open it!”

The boy said, and handed the girl a strange little treasure box.

“This is……”

The girl was puzzled. After opening the box, she found a strange-looking fruit inside.

This is exactly the Paramecia Magnet-Magnet Fruit.

It was also the last devil fruit that Evan didn’t eat.

Yes, the boy with short brown-red hair is naturally Evan, and the girl is naturally Erza.

Ten years have passed since Erza was born.

Because Evan and Irene met earlier than Irene and Zeref, so in the end Erza was born a year earlier than in the original work.

Now the time has come to X774, and today is Erza’s tenth birthday, so Evan gave Erza the devil fruit he had prepared.

In fact, Evan planned to leave this devil fruit to Erza at the very beginning, because the characteristics of the Paramecia Magnet-Magnet Fruit just matched Erza’s magic, and with the help of magnetism, it will be easier to fight with magic armor, which can also be used the characteristics of the Magnet-Magnet Fruit to make up for some of the shortcomings of Erza’s lack of long-range attack!

After all, the awakened Magnet-Magnet Fruit’s ability is a super-railgun. Erza, who is invincible in melee combat, has almost no shortcomings to speak of with a long-range output in super-railgun.

“So beautiful!”

Just as Erza was looking at the fruit in her hand and couldn’t put it down, the door of the bakery was opened, and three girls in different clothes and with different personalities, but equally beautiful, came out.

“Master Evan, and Miss Erza, you are back~”

“Come in quickly! The meal is already the best, and Lady Irene is already waiting for the young master and young lady.”

“…”

As the three girls spoke, they immediately took all kinds of daily necessities floating in the air back into the house, and at the same time beckoned Evan and Erza to enter.

“Okay!” Evan nodded first, and then smiled faintly at the three girls: “Ilya, Ian, Eden, you three have worked hard, come in and rest!”

“Okay, master!”

Hearing this, the three girls immediately followed Evan and Erusa into the bakery. At the same time, before Eden came in, he did not forget to change the sign hanging on the bakery door and replace it with a closed sign.

And these three girls in maid outfits, white chef uniforms, and black combat outfits are the products of Irene’s personality, Ilya, Ian, and Eden.

“You guys are back~”

A few people went upstairs and came to the second floor where they rest on weekdays. In the living room, Irene, who was wearing casual home clothes, had been waiting for Evan and Erza for a long time.

“Um, we’re back!”

Evan nodded towards Irene, with a faint smile on her face.

“Irene! I’m back! And my brother gave me a present!”

Erza ran up to Irene excitedly, and took out the gift that Evan had prepared for her as if offering a treasure.

“Call me mother!” Irene first pretended to be sullen, and patted Erza’s little head lightly, and then looked at the strange fruit in the wooden box in Erza’s hand, “So, is it this thing?”

Irene looked at this strange looking fruit, she was taken aback for a moment, and then she showed a gentle smile. She recalled the scene when she first met Evan. For this, she caressed Erza’s baby head, smiled: “This is a very precious thing, Erza must cherish it!”

“Un! I know! I will definitely eat all of this fruit!”

Erza nodded. She decided to eat all the gifts her brother gave her.

“No! After one bite, it’s…”

Evan, who knew the terrifying taste of the devil fruit, moved his lips slightly. He wanted to say something, but he couldn’t say it after all.

“Speaking of which, eleven years have passed…”

Irene looked at the warm family in the room with a smile on her lips.

“Indeed, time flies so fast!”

Evan nodded. He knew that it was time to leave this small town.

It’s not just that the mission in his mind has been updated, there’s also an advanced mission to join any magic guild.

What’s more, in eleven years, many things have changed. There is a new generation in the town, but Irene’s face is as young as ever. In order to reduce troubles, it’s time for Evan and the others to move.
