Juvia buried her face in her hands shyly.

"Ah... Juvia is so touched..."

"No, Juvia must act quickly!" It seemed that she had made up her mind.

Juvia carried her pink lunch box,

Leaving zero in a hurry towards the distance.

Chapter 178 Lucy, Heartfilia's determination!

It was nearing afternoon.

After finishing the last project today,

Luo Xingchen patted the dust on his palm.

"It's already taking shape now." Looking at the huge frame in front of him.

Makarov also wiped the sweat from his forehead, and nodded in satisfaction.

"Then, let's stop here today, those two guys are already exhausted." Luo Xingchen said to Naz and Gray, who were not far away and were limp on the ground.

"Okay, you guys also go back to rest earlier." Makarov agreed with Luo Xingchen's words.

Shaking his neck: "I have to drink a couple of glasses with my old bones."

Saying that, Makarov turned around and greeted Makao and Waka.

The three left the construction site together.

"Grey, let's go." Luo Xingchen looked at Gray and shouted.

After all, both of them lived in the boys' dormitory together, so they also dropped by.

"Wait a minute, I'll be right there!"

Gray responded.

nodded,

Luo Xingchen, who was about to wait on the spot, noticed a figure from the back that looked a bit weak.

Think a little.

Luo Xingchen walked towards that figure.

—————

"Loki, your condition is not very good recently."

Luo Xingchen stopped Luo Ji who was about to leave.

He looked up and down, and frowned slightly.

I hadn't noticed before that Rocky was much thinner than a week ago.

No more radiance than before.

The whole person looked very haggard.

Go on and say:

"Even his face is ugly."

"Ahaha, it's the stars..." Looking at the person coming, Loki smiled and scratched the head of "Seven Four Seven".

Then he said: "No way, being a supporter of women's rights is very hard."

"Really?" Luo Xingchen narrowed his eyes slightly.

Hearing this, Loki felt guilty for no reason.

The right hand scratching his head did not stop, and then said:

"Of course, you should have a deep understanding of this, after all, there are so many girls..."

Luo Ji's words stopped under Luo Xingchen's scrutinizing eyes.

He lowered his head in embarrassment, as if thinking of something.

Immediately change the subject and say:

"By the way, I saw Erza and Miraj went to see Lucy not long ago, didn't you go?"

"Lucy should be fine, and we boys are still busy building the guild, so we don't have time to go." Luo Xingchen's eyes were still fixed on Luoji.

replied.

"That's it...then there's nothing else, I'll go first."

Feeling guilty, Loki turned around and took a slow pace.

Ready to get out of here.

Looking at Luo Ji's back, Luo Xingchen said softly:

"Is it time?"

The inexplicable words made Loki froze in place for an instant.

Eyes widened sharply,

He turned around and looked at Luo Xingchen who was holding his hands in front of him.

"You... already know?"

Luo Xingchen didn't speak, but nodded slightly.

Loki's guess was confirmed.

With a helpless smile, Loki said bitterly: "Sure enough...everyone in the guild can't hide anything from you..."

There was an unknown meaning on that bitter smile.

Like a star that is about to leave the sky.

"I can understand your feeling of not explaining to everyone in the guild, but I just want to say one thing."

Luo Xingchen stared at Luoji.

"We are all companions. There are some things that you don't need to fight alone."

"Know...Fairy Tail will always be your reliance."

Luo Xingchen's words made Luo Ji bow his head.

After a moment of silence, he slowly opened his mouth: "Thank you, Xingchen, but this is my wish and the only way for me to redeem myself..."

Pursing his lips, he murmured softly:

"However, to have a group of partners like you is already very happy for me!"

"Really... thank you very much!"

With that said, Loki turned around and walked towards the distance.

The back is so lonely, as if isolated from the world...

Shaking his head helplessly, Luo Xingchen also turned around and planned to leave.

In this matter, we still have to rely on Lucy's help.

"No! Lucy is home!"

Suddenly, Ersha's exclamation reached Luo Xingchen's ears.

————

The Heartfilia family.

Just the place to live is a huge manor that covers an area enough to cover a town,

A man named Jud Heartfilia is the owner here.

Also Lucy's father.

In Lucy's view, her father doesn't care about herself at all.

Work seems to have become the whole of his life.

Even on his birthday, that person still ignored him.

Even the rice **** that I thoughtfully made for him couldn't make him look at me.

It even caused him to yell angrily.

for their own benefit,

Not even hesitating to hire ghost men to wage war on Fairy Tail.

This is the father in Lucy's eyes.

Cold, heartless, cold-blooded!

Looking at the magnificent and huge building in front of her, Lucy still felt strange.

Even though she has lived here for more than ten years.

"Miss Lucy?!"

Lucy's appearance immediately alarmed Aunt Speight who was cleaning the yard.

"What?!"

"Is the lady back?"

"Miss Lucy!"

The servants who heard the shouts came out one after another.

They gathered around Lucy one by one, constantly asking for warmth.

I am deeply afraid that my eldest lady will be wronged outside...

In those voices, the meaning of concern is very clear.

Lucy couldn't help but smile.

"Miss Lucy, the master told you to find him in the study." Just as everyone was reminiscing about the past.

A servant came up and said.

"Sure enough, the daughter who ran away from home only said [find him in the study] when she came back, that person really hasn't changed..."

I laughed at myself.

Lucy walked towards the other mansion.

—————

Changing from her previous outfit, she wore a gorgeous princess dress on Lucy.

Noble and elegant to set off Lucy.

It is hard to imagine that such a person not long ago,

Still a person who works desperately for a month's rent.

After walking through familiar and unfamiliar corridors, Lucy stopped in front of a door.

Taking a deep breath, he pushed open the door.

"You are finally back, Lucy." He heard the sound of the door opening.

The man in suit and leather shoes standing in front of the huge French window turned his head.

He looked at Lucy seriously.

"Father." Lucy came and stopped in front of Jiude.

"It was my fault that I left this house without saying anything before." Lucy said calmly.

"You can realize this with your personality. It seems that you have grown up." Jiude nodded slightly.
