Chapter 63: Being an actor is really hard
Lucy held her head in her hands, her face filled with regret. She was worried that her actions had caused some negative consequences.
Erza specifically instructed her not to have too much interaction with the other members of the guild, as the time paradox could cause immense damage, completely altering their present and future.
If she were to cause the collapse of the future and a dramatic change in the world because of her own actions, Lucy would not be able to forgive herself.
She breathed a long sigh of relief after being able to "escape" from the guild hall. Without Moen's help, she had no confidence in getting rid of the enthusiastic crowd or in keeping herself from being exposed.
"Fortunately, Moen was always so helpful when he was a child."
Lucy sighed, genuinely excited to see Moen at this age; he was truly her idol since childhood! Childhood dreams are real.
Of course, after she truly got to know and understand Moen, she felt that she had been deceived, a very huge deception!
"What powerful mage who uses Celestial Spirit magic? That's a complete lie!"
Lucy gritted her teeth. Having loved the Celestials since childhood, she truly felt a sense of disillusionment after learning the truth.
Because before she truly understood the whole truth, she genuinely believed that Moen was a powerful Celestial Spirit Mage!
"Forget it, finding them is more important. We can't let Natsu, Gray, and Happy cause trouble; those three are too unreliable!"
Putting all her excitement aside for the moment, Lucy told herself she had to get down to business, very important business!
Walking down the bustling streets of Magnolia, Lucy looked somewhat lost. She wanted to look for someone, but didn't know where to start.
As she walked, she heard a familiar voice—it was Erza's voice.
"I can't take it anymore, I don't understand it at all!"
The wail from Erza made Lucy's lips twitch; it seemed their journey back to the future was going to be a bit difficult...
Inside an unattended tent by the roadside, Erza was lying face down with her rear end sticking up, a white cat tail wagging behind her so fast it was almost blurry!
The speed at which the cat's tail swayed seemed to reveal the owner's immense anxiety.
Holding the magic book that had led them through time, Erza studied it carefully for a long time, eventually letting out a wail because she couldn't understand its contents at all.
Erza suddenly thought of Levy; even Levy at this age might be able to help her decipher the contents of this magic book.
Just as Erza was feeling incredibly troubled, Lucy the Bunny Girl arrived at Erza's tent, and Erza's eyes immediately widened.
Because she saw another small figure wearing armor outside the tent, a miniature version of Erza!
"Ai! Ooh!"
Lucy wanted to remind Erza, but she quickly covered her mouth. If she called out her name, it would be troublesome, and her disguise might be exposed!
Under Lucy's horrified gaze, young Erza walked towards adult Erza.
At this moment, Lucy was incredibly nervous; it's no exaggeration to say that she felt as if the world was about to end.
"The catwoman over there."
"The bunny girl over there."
Under Lucy's gaze, young Erza spoke, calling out to adult Erza, but for some reason, Lucy seemed to hear an echo, and it was a male echo at that.
As it turned out, Lucy wasn't the only one who heard the sound, because both Erza and Erza, who were in her line of sight, turned their heads at the same time and looked in her direction.
"Moen? What brings you here?"
Upon seeing who spoke, young Erza spoke up, her face full of confusion.
Erza, the catwoman, quickly climbed out of the tent, her cat tail wagging even more vigorously.
"Moen?"
Erza, the catwoman, looked on with intense curiosity. The moment she saw Moen, she seemed to recall everything that had happened.
"ah?!"
Lucy turned around in surprise and saw Moen's figure. She immediately realized that Moen must have followed her out.
"You two strange women, one a catwoman, the other a bunny girl, is this style really popular lately?"
Looking at the two mature and sexy women in front of him, Moen made a comment. He had already figured it out. The red-haired catwoman was obviously Erza after she had grown up and matured.
"They're dressed really strangely; they're two oddballs."
Young Erza chimed in, her face full of agreement. She also found the two of them very strange, having never seen them dressed like that before.
"..."
Moen looked at Erza, who had an ordinary expression, his eyes filled with astonishment.
'No, really can't you see it? Isn't it quite obvious?'
Moen glanced at little Erza, then at the larger Erza in her catgirl outfit, and remained silent...
This disguise... well, it's really just so-so.
"Uh, sort of, it's quite popular, haha."
Lucy chuckled twice, then awkwardly laughed it off, brushing the topic off. She didn't want to dress like that either!
"Sorry! We'll be leaving now!"
Erza scrambled to her feet and jumped three feet high. She grabbed Lucy and tried to run away, not daring to look at Moen again.
"Wait a moment!"
However, little Erza stopped the two who were trying to escape. She looked suspicious and felt that the two guys were acting suspiciously.
"Ugh!"
Erza and Lucy both let out a mournful cry, but obediently stopped in their tracks; they couldn't hurt little Erza.
"Have you two seen the pink-haired guy with the scarf and the shirtless pervert around here? They seem to be at odds."
Erza asked, explaining that she had been searching outside for Gray and Natsu because those two bastards had stolen her cake! Her favorite cake, the one she had saved specifically for later!
"Gray and Natsu?"
Erza, dressed in a catgirl outfit, spoke reflexively. She was so familiar with this description that it came out without her even realizing it.
"Ugh!"
Lucy couldn't help but let out another mournful cry, which made Erza very embarrassed.
She gave Lucy, Natsu, Gray, and Happy countless instructions, but before they could do anything, she herself made a huge mistake!
'How are we going to handle this?'
Erza groaned inwardly. With Moen here, she and Lucy were likely to have their underwear exposed!
"you......"
Moen opened his mouth, his mind racing with a thousand thoughts.
These two guys are making it really hard for him to pretend he didn't notice anything!
