Chapter 3 - Let's just look at the sunrise

"Thank you for your help. If you hadn't stopped him, then... who knows what would have happened to those girls?

With many thanks, especially to the governor of the city, guards, the families of the victims, the members of the magic council, and many others, he received generous rewards and also gained a reputation within this city as he had caught the criminal who had been notorious kidnapping many females to be sold as slaves on the neighboring country. 

Bora the Prominence, while his name resounded, had become a shame, especially after what he did to many women in this country. 

At the same time, if he hadn't stopped Bora, then what would have been the fate of those women?

Everyone was clear, so they thanked him and gave him a large reward for what he did. 

"No, I just did what I should have done. If someone else knew what would happen to those girls, I am sure that they would do their best to stop Bora like I did." 

"Oh, you... Please stay in this city! As the governor of this city, I will hire you as my secretary right away!" 

"Ah, no, wait! Please join the Rune Knights! The Magic Council needs you!" 

"By the way, you must be tired, right? Please take a rest at my house! My daughter wants to thank you! No, please marry my daughter!" 

"I am sorry, but my companion is still waiting for me!" 

He wasn't sure why they were so obsessed, but he knew he had to leave, or else he would be swallowed whole, especially when he could see the dangerous glint in their eyes as they gazed upon his body. 

"Kira, here!" 

The young woman, who had helped him before, quickly waved her hand and grasped him when he could escape from the crowd. "Here, the shirt." 

"Thanks." 

He quickly put on the shirt that she had bought at the nearby store, and he was surrounded by important people, speaking with them and receiving rewards. Still, when he put it on, he could hear a regretful sigh from many. 

"...." 

"...how much is it, Lucy?" 

Yes, the young woman he had met on the ship before as he faced Bora was the heroine of the famous Fairy Tail, Lucy Heartfilia. 

Brown eyes, a beautiful face, and blonde hair that was tied in various ways with ribbons. 

Yet, despite appearing a little childish, her body was that of an adult and had a womanly quality that was impossible to ignore, which made his young body feel restless. 

Still, the rationality within him didn't allow him to become a lustful beast despite how he wished to be, but then again, considering the consequences, he quickly calmed himself, especially when he worried about a future and many others. 

"It's fine. You don't have to pay me. You have helped me, after all." 

Lucy might not have had much money, but even so, Kira had helped her, and she didn't like it much when many looked at him with lustful eyes, so she quickly bought a shirt even though the store wasn't open yet. Still, even if she only left him for a while, she didn't expect that he would be surrounded by so many people so eagerly, yet also with a slight lust and affection, especially from the females. 

Or rather, the female governor's eyes were so horny that she wanted to hire him as her private secretary! 

Yet, when she saw him so clearly as the sun was bright in the morning, her face felt hot, and she was sure that she blushed at that moment.

Yes, he was handsome, but he had a special, gentle, and warm aura, like the light of the sunrise, which made her body feel snug and comfortable. Also, frankly, she loved this type of man, who appeared intellectual and bookish! 

'But...' 

Somehow, she couldn't help but think of Kira's previous state, which was so wild, like a wild beast; it gave her a shiver, yet she didn't fear him. Instead, she was a bit cornered about him, knowing that he didn't seem to be okay to use his magic. 

"By the way, how are your keys? Are they alright?" 

"Ah, yes, they're okay. Thank you for helping me again to find them, Kira." 

Lucy cried when she thought that she had almost lost her keys, which were her partners and everyone that accompanied her after what had happened to her, so she was grateful that Kira had helped her. 

Kira Olam. 

Yes, this would be his identity in this world, and frankly, he chose this name randomly from the MCs of two novels he liked, combined them, and they became his name in this world. 

"No, it's fine. It's great that they are okay, but then again, this is the first time I've seen a mage use the Celestial Spirit Magic." 

Yes, while Lucy might appear silly most of the time, the magic that she mastered was a rare magic known as the Celestial Spirit Magic, which allowed her to summon a spirit known as a Celestial Spirit with whom she had a signed contract. Moreover, she also signed a contract with several rare and powerful Celestial Spirits despite, once again, how silly she was. 

"Right? It's pretty amazing!" Lucy was proud somehow. 

"...." Kira. 

"Okay, since it is your first time seeing a mage with a Celestial Spirit Magic, let me show you my magic!" 

As she said so, she took an ordinary silver key and shouted, "Open Gate of the Canis Minor! Nikora!"

The key shone brightly, and then, a figure of a short, stout creature with a stubby tail and horn-like nose appeared. 

"....." Kira. 

"Puu..." 

The creature trembled as it made a strange noise.

"How cute~!" Lucy was in her own world, feeling smug and happy by how cute her spirit was. "Look! This is Plue! It's cute, right? Kira, hug him!" 

"O-Oh..." 

Kira didn't have a choice, and his mind was also more focused on the magic that Lucy had just used. With Plue in his arms, he thought of the Noble Phantasm from Shirou Kotomine, which was known as the "Left Hand - Xanadu Matrix" and the "Right Hand - Evil Eater." 

Due to Shirou Amakusa Kotomine being known as a saint during his lifetime, both his left hand and right hand endowed him with the ability to perform numerous miracles. The first miracle would be how his left arm had an effect on the reinforcement and strengthening of his body, and his right arm had an effect on precognition, which made him able to dodge and fight well despite his mind being affected by the Dangerous Game. 

Still, the real ability of those two arms was to allow him to use any magic despite not being able to understand them well. 

In other words, after Kira saw Lucy use her magic, he could use Celestial Spirit Magic, too! 

When he realized this ability, somehow, his future wasn't bad at all, but then again, considering the potential of Shirou Kotomine, Mata Hari, and also Henry Jekyll and Hyde, then thinking of the last antagonist of the story of Fairy Tail had an unlimited of energy and also destroyed the universe itself, somehow...

"....." 

As he gazed into the rising sun on the horizon over the sea, he wondered whether he could stay alive well in this world.
