Chapter 257

Erza, the Fairy Queen.

Although she always acts like a big sister within the guild.

But at the end of the day, she is also a woman.

Deep in her heart, she also has a soft side.

Due to the events at the Tower of Heaven when she was a child, Erza lacks a sense of security in her heart.

To gain a sense of security, she has always wrapped herself in that silver armor.

By chance, she met Following Ye Yu.

At first, she just treated Following Ye Yu as a companion, just like Natsu and Gray.

But I don't know when it started, that man touched the soft side of her heart.

Was it when he stepped in to save her at a critical moment?

Or was it when facing a strong enemy, he said: "Leave the rest to me."

Or perhaps it was the time spent together over the past half year.

Maybe it was all of these.

Gradually, with Following Ye Yu by her side, Erza didn't feel uneasy even when she took off her armor.

On Tenrou Island, after Following Ye Yu went alone to lure away Acnologia.

The unease in Erza's heart reached an unprecedented height.

She was afraid.

Afraid that Following Ye Yu would never come back.

When she saw Acnologia turn back and Following Ye Yu did not, a sense of powerlessness suddenly arose in her heart.

However, when she met Following Ye Yu again in the different dimension, her heart was filled with joy again.

I don't know when it started, but that man could stir her thoughts.

Perhaps because Following Ye Yu had always been by her side, she didn't think too much about it.

But now it's different.

Ever since that day when Following Ye Yu said he needed to prepare a little for the battle with the Flame God King in seven days, he hadn't returned for several days.

Erza stood at the front of the magic airship, looking at the vast land below, her mind filled with thousands of thoughts.

At this moment, Erza suddenly realized that since Following Ye Yu joined Fairy Tail, she had almost always been with him.

Doing missions together.

Fighting dark guilds together.

Now that Following Ye Yu was suddenly not by her side for a few days, Erza had an unusual feeling in her heart.

A feeling that something was missing.

"Big Sister Mira, is there still no news from Brother Following Ye Yu?"

"Not yet, but tomorrow is the seven-day deadline, he should be back by then!"

Hearing this from Mirajane, Hearing Wendi felt relieved and immediately walked toward Erza over there.

"Erza, let's go take a bath and relax, tomorrow might be a bit tough!"

Erza was naturally very clear about what Hearing Wendi meant.

The reason the Flame Dragon could leave last time was because Following Ye Yu wasn't at his peak state.

But if the Flame Dragon comes tomorrow, it probably won't be easy to deal with.

Erza looked at Hearing Wendi, brushed her long bright red hair from her forehead, and said with a smile, "That's true!"

After saying that, Erza walked into the magic airship together with Hearing Wendi.

Soon, the two women, Erza and Hearing Wendi, arrived at the bathroom inside the magic airship.

Looking around, the bath was still filled with swirling hot steam.

"I wonder where Brother Following Ye Yu went?"

"He must be researching some new magic!"

"Magic to deal with the Flame Dragon?"

While speaking, Erza untied her bath towel and walked toward the bath.

But just at this moment, a familiar voice suddenly came from the air.

"You're here!"

Recognizing it was Following Ye Yu's voice, Hearing Wendi was immediately overjoyed.

"Brother Following Ye Yu!"

Erza also recognized Following Ye Yu's voice, but just as she was about to say something, she lost her footing and fell straight down.

With a splash of water, Hearing Wendi saw Erza land right on top of Following Ye Yu.

"Ahhhhhh..."

Watching this scene, Hearing Wendi seemed to have seen something incredible; her small mouth was slightly agape, and her face was flushed red.

"I'll go out first!"

"No, Hearing Wendi..."

Erza also wanted to explain something with a blushing face.

But Hearing Wendi had already rushed out of the bathroom and closed the door.
