Crossover Anime: I, Shirou Kotomine, King of Uruk

Chapter 22 Erza and Mirajane's Request

After receiving Mirajane's promise, Shirou Kotomine could legitimately and frequently approach her to ask her all sorts of questions about magic.

As the saying goes, true teachings can be conveyed in a single sentence, while false teachings can fill countless volumes.

With Mirajane, an experienced and highly skilled mage, there was no need for Shirou Kotomine to get bogged down in questions he didn't understand.

And because of the magic knowledge he had learned in the Type-Moon world, Shirou Kotomine had countless questions in his mind.

Even so, it is still limited by my own reading speed.

Otherwise, Shirou Kotomine's doubts would only increase.

To this end, Shirou Kotomine specifically adjusted the order in which he learned magic, changing his initial plan to learn costume magic first and then reception magic to practicing both types of magic simultaneously.

With Mirajane's help, he progressed rapidly in receiving magic.

Although his transformation magic was slightly slower because he was self-taught, his progress was still quite good due to his ability to learn by analogy.

As a result, Shirou Kotomine's days have been exceptionally busy.

Of course, besides his magical training, Shirou Kotomine did do other things as well.

While he was studying at home, Natsu and Happy suddenly climbed in through the window, wanting to team up with him for a mission.

Kotomine Shirou did not refuse.

He also wanted to experience more of the world firsthand.

Then, the three of them climbed into Lucy's room through the window, and after a scolding, the four of them formed a team.

Their team's first mission was to destroy a book.

Although the experience was very interesting, they ultimately didn't earn a single penny.

Lucy, however, obtained a Virgo Celestial Key.

However, Shirou Kotomine didn't come away empty-handed; during the mission, he learned that Lucy actually had a pair of glasses that allowed her to read books quickly.

So Shirou Kotomine borrowed it and began to sweep through Fairy Tail's library.

As a result, Shirou Kotomine's problems have become increasingly numerous.

Mirajah became increasingly busy as a result.

However, this period of peace did not last long, and soon Kotomine Shirou's studies were forced to stop.

A new task awaits him.

.

"You've always seen how much Gray and Natsu don't get along, so I'm a little worried about having them team up. Could you please team up with them?"

Mirajane said with a smile.

"But I don't see the slightest worry on your face, and besides, didn't you already ask Lucy to stop them?"

Looking at Mirajane's expression, Shirou Kotomine remained calm.

Although he is still arguing his case, he has already made up his mind about the trip.

Besides the fact that it was Mirajane's request, the reason for this mission was that the initiator of this mission was the strongest female mage in Fairy Tail, the Fairy Queen Erza.

The incident began this morning when Erza, the S-rank mage who had been absent from the guild, finally returned to Fairy Tail.

At that moment, Shirou Kotomine, sitting opposite Lucy, was enjoying the fight between Natsu and Gray.

This scene seems to be a staple of Fairy Tail.

Whenever the two of them got into a fight, the guys around them would always fan the flames to prevent them from escalating the conflict.

Gray, the Ice-Shaped Mage.

Natsu, the Fire Dragon Slayer.

They were all children who grew up in Fairy Tail.

Although they are young, they have been with Fairy Tail for a long time.

Perhaps the two were simply incompatible.

Or perhaps for some other reason, they have been rivals since childhood.

The two have been fighting since they were young. Although they both consider each other important partners, they often quarrel over the slightest disagreement.

It is precisely because everyone understands their personalities that they indulge their antics and even enjoy fanning the flames.

Shirou Kotomine is one of them.

However, their playful fight did not go smoothly today.

It was interrupted by an unexpected message.

The news was that Erza had returned.

Upon hearing this, the previously noisy guild instantly fell silent, so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Lucy, who was sitting opposite Shirou Kotomine, was also startled by this.

She was frightened by the reactions of the people around her.

As for Shirou Kotomine, he was actually quite looking forward to it.

Shirou Kotomine knew a little about this fairy queen.

So he really wanted to see what this mage, who was so outstanding in his memory, would look like in reality.

So, in the silence of everyone else, heavy footsteps drew ever closer.

As the gate opened, a girl carrying the horn of a giant monster appeared before Shirou Kotomine's eyes.

She had long, crimson hair, and her body was encased in form-fitting armor.

Her expression was full of heroic spirit.

Although she is very beautiful, that is not the first impression people have of her.

The first impression she gave to Shirou Kotomine was that indescribable sense of power.

Back at the guild, Erza looked around at everyone and said that she knew about the ridiculous things they had done while she was away.

So, following her gaze, those who were seen and called out all lowered their heads, quickly suppressing their absurd behavior like obedient children.

Even Natsu and Gray, who were just fighting, were now hugging each other's necks, like best buddies.

This majestic scene truly filled Lucy with awe.

The same applies to Shirou Kotomine.

Then, Mirajane asked Shirou Kotomine to go with her.

In other words, Erza discovered the underhanded activities of a dark guild that was plotting something big, so she prepared to take down the dark guild.

However, considering that the other party was an entire guild, she cautiously invited Natsu and Gray to join her team and complete this mission together.

After all, Natsu and Gray are arguably the two strongest members of Fairy Tail, aside from the S-class mages.

Natsu and Gray both accepted Erza's invitation.

That's how it all started.

Given Natsu's and Gray's animosity, Mirajane had already asked Lucy to accompany him.

But at this moment, she was also urging Mineshiro to go along.

"That's because I suddenly remembered that, given Lucy's personality, she seems more likely to stand by and watch, completely ignoring the two of them, so I thought of you."

"I hope so."

After glancing at Mirajane's smiling face, Shirou Kotomine sighed softly and accepted Mirajane's request.

As for the reason, just as he had thought before, besides Mirajane's request, it was also because he was very interested in Erza.

After all, with Mirajane's help, Shirou Kotomine's receiving magic is improving rapidly.

If he were to receive instruction from Erza, a top-tier mage whose core magic is disguise magic, his disguise magic would likely be greatly enhanced.

"Great, then it's settled."

Seeing that Shirou Kotomine had agreed, Mirajane happily returned to her post.

But inside, she was actually far more excited than she appeared.

"Finally, I can relax for two days."

"No, I need to take tomorrow off. I want to stay home and get a good night's sleep."

"Finally, I'm free."

Mirajane, driven nearly mad by Shirou Kotomine's curiosity, was secretly smiling to herself, her forced smile never betraying her true feelings.
