Chapter 161: Gifting Erza a Zanpakutō
Chapter 161: Gifting Erza a Zanpakutō
"A top fan?"
During her livestream, Jenny blinked in surprise, hearing a phrase she'd come to recognize from Nate. After a moment, understanding dawned.
"Thank you, Nate!"
She glanced at her leaderboard, noticing [Sigma Male] at the top with 1,000 points—her only top fan.
Sigma Male: "Is that it?"
"What else could there be?" Jenny replied, feigning surprise. She thought she'd shown plenty of appreciation.
Sigma Male: "Where's the talent showcase? A host should show some talent—how else do you expect to keep me interested? Want more rewards?"
More rewards? Jenny's eyes sparkled. While she didn't need points, the thought of Nate gifting her more—especially Nate—was exciting. Maybe with a bit more charm, she could even persuade him to join Blue Pegasus!
"Hmm, talents... Well, I can sing! Want to hear?"
Jenny eagerly left the camera's view and returned holding a harp.
A harp?
Nate was surprised; he'd never seen anyone actually play one.
Sigma Male: "You play the harp?"
Jenny nodded confidently. "Of course!"
Nate couldn't help but think of Mirajane. His guild's own host had a lovely singing voice as well. Intrigued, he leaned back, ready to enjoy Blue Pegasus's songstress.
Mindful of the late hour, Jenny kept her voice soft, not wanting to disturb her neighbors. As she began to sing, her voice was pure and enchanting, harmonizing beautifully with the harp's melody. Her song felt like a gentle light, soothing and uplifting.
As she finished, the screen filled with applause emojis and "Well done!" messages.
Though Nate wasn't an expert in music, even he could appreciate the beauty of her performance. She was genuinely talented, with a voice as captivating as her appearance.
"So, what do you think? Want to hear more?" Jenny's eyes gleamed, hoping for another reward.
So direct? Nate smirked, amused.
[User "Sigma Male" sent the streamer ten Super Magic gifts of Fairy Law!]
A dazzling array of effects lit up the screen as Jenny laughed delightedly. "Thank you, Nate! Come back anytime!"
After leaving her stream, Nate browsed other live streams but found most people were just testing out the new feature rather than truly streaming. Eventually, a different title caught his eye:
[Bunny's Magic Classroom]
"Bunny?" Intrigued, he clicked on the stream and saw a familiar face.
Wasn't this Totomaru, once one of the Four Elements at Phantom Lord?
Standing in front of a blackboard, Totomaru was earnestly explaining basic fire magic. Nate found himself drawn in, following Totomaru's clear, step-by-step breakdown. After about thirty minutes, Nate raised his hand and, with a simple thought, conjured a small flame in his palm.
In just half an hour, he'd learned the basics of fire magic.
"Not bad. A former guild mage finding a new career path." Impressed, he sent Totomaru a Super Magic gift before closing the stream. Noticing it was nearly eleven, he decided it was time to turn in for the night.
But as he lay in bed, sleep wouldn't come.
"I have three girlfriends, so why am I still sleeping alone?"
Sitting up, he wondered who he might visit. Erza and Juvia were likely asleep in the women's dorms, and he didn't want to disturb them. That left Ultear...
At the thought of her, he was reminded of Ur. With a snap of his fingers, he summoned her from the depths of the Deep Web.
Appearing slightly disoriented, she blinked at him.
"Can't sleep?"
Nate admired her as she yawned, her dark, elegant nightdress catching the moonlight just right.
"I missed you."
Without further words, he pulled her close. Startled, she blushed.
"You're serious about this?"
"Only if you don't push me away this time," he replied with a teasing smile.
Blushing, Ur looked away, a soft laugh escaping as she agreed. "Alright... but don't tell anyone—especially Ultear!"
As they shared a kiss, the moonlight bathed them, casting a gentle glow over the two as they drifted into each other's embrace.
The next morning, Nate woke feeling refreshed. Ur was still asleep beside him, a peaceful smile on her face.
With a gentle kiss on her forehead, he got up to start his day, noticing her stir slightly before slipping back into slumber. She deserved the rest.
As he left, a single thought crossed his mind: "Next time, I'll take her to the hot springs in the Northern Territories."
Stepping outside, he sent a message to Erza:
Sigma Male: "Come to the East Forest. I have a gift for you."
She replied almost instantly.
Knight: "A gift? Where? I can't wait!"
Meeting her in the forest, Nate greeted her with open arms and a grin.
"Guess what it is?"
"Hmm... that's hard to say. Jewelry?" she asked, smiling warmly as her fingers brushed the earrings he'd given her once.
Without a word, he raised his hand, summoning a massive sword into his palm.
"A sword?"
Erza took it from him, the weight familiar in her hands, but the power radiating from it was unlike anything she'd felt before.
"This is... a magic weapon!" she exclaimed, her eyes wide.
"It's called Senbonzakura. It has immense power and two modes—Shikai and Bankai."
As he explained, she looked at him with deep affection.
"I'll treasure it, always!" she promised, channeling her magic into the blade.
"Bankai!"
A surge of energy erupted, and a colossal blade materialized behind her before dissolving into a whirlwind of pink petals, fluttering like a sea of cherry blossoms.
