"It seems you are not my father."
Although Blantish was young, she already possessed a basic ability to read people's expressions. After noticing the shock in Id's eyes, she seemed to understand something, so she silently shook her head, her expression revealing a hint of disappointment.
"Little girl, are you home alone?!"
"Didn't your mother tell you not to open the door to strangers?"
Seeing Brandish's dejected look, Id raised an eyebrow slightly, as if he had thought of something interesting and decided to tease the girl a little.
"I know who you are."
At that moment, Brandish seemed to have figured something out, and she gave Id a smug smile.
"Oh?"
"Who am I?"
Id looked at Brandish with some curiosity and asked.
"You must be one of my mother's suitors."
"Brandish said confidently."
"puff."
After hearing what Brandish said, Id felt his vision go black, his chest tighten, and he almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Pfft hahaha."
Just as Id's vision was starting to blur, little Brandish burst out laughing from inside the cabin. She looked at Id and said, "Uncle, I won't tease you anymore. You've come to deliver a letter to my mother, haven't you?! Hurry up and give me the letter."
"Mr. Uncle?"
Id fell silent. It was the first time he had been called "uncle," and his overall mental state was not very good.
After a brief silence, Id realized that not only had he failed to amuse the little guy, but he had also been tricked by him.
"You little rascal, you're so clever for your age."
As Id spoke, he pushed open the door of the wooden house in front of him, walked in, and picked up little Brandish, who was standing at the door with a shocked expression, from the ground with one hand. Then he closed the door of the wooden house.
"Unfortunately, you guessed wrong."
"I'm not here to deliver a message."
"I'm here to rob you."
Id pulled little Brandish in front of him, a hint of mockery in his eyes, and deliberately teased him.
"Robbery?"
"As you can see, our family is already very poor, isn't it? We really don't have anything of value to give you."
"If you really need money urgently, why not go to the mayor's house? They're very wealthy; they eat chicken, duck, and fish every day."
Little Brandish looked at Id with a pitiful expression. With her tiny arms and legs, she couldn't even touch Id's body, let alone resist.
Little Brandish paused for a moment, then continued, "I'm not lying to you, this is all from the mayor's idiot son! He always comes to me to show off his family's things."
"The mayor's idiotic son?"
Id couldn't help but laugh out loud. He reached out and lightly stroked little Brandish's alabaster nose twice, asking, "You really hate that kid?"
"It's more than just dislike!"
"It's absolutely disgusting."
Brandish stated the truth.
"Um."
Id nodded. Children this age are like that; there's no romantic love in their eyes, only the purest form of competition, cough cough.
"Knock knock knock".
"Brandish, open the door."
Just as Id and Brandish were chatting, there was a knock on the door, followed by a soft female voice.
Just by hearing that voice, Yi De knew that the woman outside the door must be very virtuous and beautiful.
Clearly, Brandish's mother, Grammy, had already bought breakfast from the town's breakfast stall and returned home.
"Mother, I'm busy right now~"
"Please wait for me outside the door for a little while, I'll come and open the door for you right away."
Upon hearing the commotion outside the door, Blantish did not immediately tell her mother, Grammy, about her awkward situation. Instead, she cleverly used words to temporarily alleviate the crisis, thus protecting herself and preventing her mother outside from worrying.
"What a clever little girl."
Seeing Brandish's calm and composed demeanor in the face of danger, Id couldn't help but smile.
Well, Brandish's approach just now was naturally the best solution he could come up with from all the things he could do at the moment.
By saying this, she could both avoid angering Id and protect her own safety as well as her mother's safety, achieving the best of both worlds.
"But that's not enough."
Yes, a whole new problem has arisen. While Brantish's actions just now temporarily averted the crisis, the crisis is not yet over.
So Id was a little curious: how exactly would Brandish deal with this bad guy?
"Open! Aquarius Gate, Aquarius."
Just as Id was anticipating Brandish's next move, Grammy, standing outside the cabin, seemed to sense something. She carefully took out a golden Protoss key from her pocket, and then used the milk she had just bought from the town, which she had originally intended to give Brandish as breakfast, as a medium to open the Protoss Gate, which could only be opened in a place with water.
"Buzz!"
As Grammy whispered, a pale blue magic circle instantly formed in front of her.
Immediately afterwards, a beautiful mermaid wearing a bikini, with a curvaceous and incredibly hot figure and long sea-blue hair, appeared out of thin air outside the wooden house.
This beautiful mermaid who suddenly appeared is Aquarius, one of the zodiac spirits, the spirit of Aquarius.
"Aquaria!"
'
"There are bad people inside the house, but Brandish is still inside."
"While you are eliminating the bad guys, please make sure to protect Brandish's safety."
Outside the wooden house, Grame bowed slightly to Aquarius, the Aquarius celestial spirit she had summoned, and pleaded.
"I see."
"Leave this small matter to me!"
"Watch my—hydrological impact!"
After learning about the current crisis from Glamour, the Aquarius Celestial Spirit Aquaria stopped worrying about how Glamour had summoned her with milk. Instead, she raised her head and looked firmly at the wooden house in front of her.
Aquarius's eyes seemed to pierce through the wooden door, landing directly on Ido and Brandish inside. After a brief moment of thought, she decisively raised the water bottle in her hand, shouted, and simultaneously splashed all the water in the bottle onto the wooden house in front of her. "Boom!!"
With a deafening roar, a massive torrent of water gushed from the water bottle in Aquaria's hand, crashing down on the wooden house, crushing the walls and doors, and finally landing on Id and Brandish inside.
"Um?
"When Id discovered that the rushing water was indiscriminately attacking everything inside the wooden house, he frowned and waved his hand to block the water for Brandish."
But when Id noticed that Brandish, whom he was holding, showed no panic in her eyes upon seeing the water, but rather a hint of excitement, he suddenly changed his mind. He pretended to be overwhelmed by the water and flew backward, and released Brandish from his grip.
Next, something interesting happened to Id. The water seemed to have its own consciousness. When the water flowed onto Brandish, it had no power at all. Instead, it was like a large hand that gently lifted Brandish and brought her to the Aquarius Celestial Spirit Aquaria.
"Aquarius~"
"I miss you so much."
Upon seeing Aquaria, whom she had longed for, Brandish immediately showed excitement and embraced her ample bosom.
"You brat."
"Next time, if I find out that you deliberately let bad guys into your home and make your mother worry, I'll kill you."
Aquarius used her slender, veiny hands to pinch Brandish's head hard, gritting her teeth as she warned him.
"sorry."
"I didn't mean to, Aquaria."
"I just miss you so much."
Brandish said, looking aggrieved.
Well, Brandish had actually guessed long before opening the door for Id that there was a chance Id might be a bad guy.
But Brandish remained calm, knowing that her mother would surely summon Aquaria to rescue her in time.
In that way, Brandish would be able to see her favorite Aquaria again.
"snort."
Aquarius snorted coldly, her face still tense, seemingly not having forgiven Little Brandish. However, the corners of her mouth, which she couldn't suppress, kept turning up, showing that she was in a very good mood at the moment.
"Okay, okay."
"The bad guys have been taken care of."
"Brandish is saved too."
"Aquaria, why don't you play with Brandtish for a while?"
At this moment, Grammy saw that the crisis had been averted. Knowing how lonely her daughter Brandish was in this small town, she smiled and tried to smooth things over.
"Gramme, you spoil Brandish too much."
Upon hearing this, Aquarius first sighed helplessly, then pinched Brandish's round face and said coldly, "Then I'll reluctantly play with you for a while."
"Really?"
Brandish looked excited.
"Of course it's true."
Aquarius still held her chin up arrogantly, her voice icy: "But you better remember this, don't let me find out there'll be a next time."
"Um.
""
There won't be a next time.
Brandish nodded repeatedly.
"Aquaria is right."
"Brandish, do you really know how dangerous that was for you?"
"If you dare to be so naughty again next time, you won't be so lucky."
Just then, a slightly deep and magnetic male voice suddenly sounded beside Brandish.
"Well."
When Brandish heard that voice that felt so familiar to her, her body stiffened instantly, and she turned her head to look like a rigid machine, her movements halting.
"How is that possible?"
Then, Brandish saw that Id, who should have been swept away by the water released by Aquia into the rushing river a kilometer away, was standing behind her unharmed, looking at her with a half-smile.
"Who are you?"
At this moment, Aquia and Grame seemed to notice the strange man standing there at some unknown time, and alarm bells rang in their hearts.
"Aquarius, and Mother!"
"The man who took me hostage inside the cabin just now is the one in front of me!"
Brandish looked somewhat anxious; she suddenly realized that the situation seemed far more complicated than she had imagined!
"Aquaria!"
Grame seemed surprised that Id was the thug who had kidnapped her daughter in the cabin. So after hearing what Brandish said, her gaze toward Id suddenly sharpened, and without saying a word, she supplied the continuous stream of magic power within her to the Aquarius celestial spirit Aquaria that she had summoned.
"boom!!"
When Glamour supplied all the magic power in her body to Aquarius, the power of the Zodiac Zodiac Spirits was revealed!
In an instant, a waterfall of azure magic erupted from Aquaria's body. The magic was so dense that it seemed to fill the air of the entire town with moisture, making it humid.
"Not bad."
When Id sensed Grame's magic, he was visibly taken aback. This seemingly ordinary young woman actually possessed magic power rated as LV6 by the system.
In other words, if this young woman named Grame were on the continent of Ishgar and joined a mage guild other than Fairy Tail, she would probably become the guild's ace and rise directly to the rank of S-class mage.
"hehe."
"No wonder this woman can travel freely between the Western Continent and the Ishgar Continent all by herself."
"If one possesses this level of magic power, coupled with the Aquarius Celestial Key, which allows for battles across different ranks in the ocean, then everything makes sense."
When Id received all the information about Grami from Jud, he was curious about how Grami, as a head maid of the Heartfilia family, managed to travel alone between the Western Continent and the Ishgar Continent.
Now, Id finally understood everything.
At the same time, Ide also discovered a key point. If he remembered correctly, the information that Jiude gave him said that all of the Celestial Magic in the Grami were taught by Jiude's wife, Leila, in her spare time after finishing her flower arranging every day.
So, what kind of strength does a Celestial Mage possess who can train his head maid to the standard of an S-rank mage in a general mage guild using only his free time?
"boom!"
Just as Ido was pondering, the water summoned by Aquia completely enveloped Ido, forming a waterspout that shot straight up to the sky, reaching a height of a thousand meters.
"Aquaria is the strongest."
After witnessing this magnificent scene, little Brandish's eyes sparkled, and she waved her little hands excitedly. Well, little Brandish wasn't afraid for a single moment from beginning to end, because she always believed from the bottom of her heart that Aquaria was the most powerful.
Even if Little Brandish later breaks through the "inhuman" realm and reaches the "shield level", she will still believe in this.
"I'm sorry."
"I was just spacing out."
Just as little Brandish was pondering this, Id's voice suddenly rang out from behind her.
"Well."
For the first time, Brandtish felt panic.
"hateful."
Aquarius gritted her teeth. From the very beginning, she had no idea what Ido's magic was!
She clearly hit Ide, but Ide is completely dry, without a single drop of water on his body. What went wrong?!
"Buzz!"
Just as Aquaria was thinking this, Ido waved his hand and froze the towering waterspout in place.
"boom!!"
In the brief moment when Id effortlessly froze the thousand-meter-long water tornado summoned by Aquaria, Aquaria, being an extremely sensitive Protoss to magic, suddenly sensed a terrifying magical power emanating from Id's body.
That overwhelming, vast, and abyss-like sense of oppression was something Aquaria had only ever experienced in her entire life as a Celestial Spirit, with that great man and Leila.
"Gramme, listen up!"
"Take Brandish and run! Run as far as you can!"
"This guy is definitely beyond our capabilities; he's transcended humanity." So, we went to the continent of Ishgar to seek Leila's help.
Aquarius looked flustered and spoke in a hoarse voice.
"And what about you?"
"Aquarius, what about you?"
Grame looked at Aquia in a panic and asked.
"Don't worry, if the Protoss suffers a fatal injury, we will be teleported back to the Protoss Realm and protected by His Majesty the Protoss King! So we Protoss will never die."
After a moment of silence, Aquarius decided to tell a little lie.
"I see."
After a brief moment of thought, Grammy didn't hesitate at all. She picked up little Brandish, who was standing there in a daze, and ran out of the town.
call."
After confirming that Grame had left with little Brandish, Aquaria turned to look at Id and said coldly, "Don't even think about leaving here until you've completely killed me."
"————"
Id stood there, watching as Grammy led little Brandish and ran with all his might toward the train station in the town. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief. Although the process had been tortuous, the final goal had been achieved.
"Then it's time to settle the score between us."
Id looked at Aquia, and he stretched his neck, making a soft "crack, crack" sound.
"Tsk."
Aquarius was filled with trepidation. Facing this monster who was on par with Leila and His Majesty the Celestial King, she wasn't sure how long she could hold him off!
"Hey."
"This is a letter from Jiude to me."
Just as Aquarius thought Id was about to make his move, she saw Id pull out a letter sealed with the Hatfilia family crest from the inside pocket of his coat.
"Gramme and Aquia, Leila is in danger, return immediately."
"May 29, X777, Jud Heartfilia."
After reading the letter, Aquarius fell silent.
"So if Jiude sent you, why didn't you make that clear from the beginning?!"
Aquarius complained.
"You didn't ask either."

"Id replied."
"And what were you doing, twisting your neck in front of me just now?"
"You made me think you were going to hit me!"
Aquarius continued to complain.
Well, here's why Lucy's吐槽 (tu cao, a Chinese internet slang term for sarcastic or critical comments) skills are so exceptional.
"what?"
"My neck is a little sore, what's wrong with twisting it?"
Id was completely speechless.
"Then why did you attack me just now?"
Aquarius continued to press for answers.
"You started it, didn't you?"
Ide looked at Aquarius somewhat numbly and answered truthfully.
In short
"I'm going to the docks to wait for Grammy and Brandish to arrive."
Ide snatched the letter from Aquaria's hand, put it away, shrugged, and, as if he didn't have time to waste any more time with Aquaria, said he was about to head back.
"Go to hell!"
Aquarius was furious. She let out a deafening roar and released all her magic power at once. Even if it meant turning her whole body into specks of light and being unable to leave the Celestial Realm for a month, she was determined to teach that bitch Id a lesson.
"boom!"
Unfortunately, Aquarius was frozen by Ido before she could even unleash her magic.
"Stop fooling around."
"You can't just waste your magic."
Ide raised an eyebrow slightly.
Jude had told him that if Grame couldn't come back, he absolutely had to bring back the Aquarius Celestial Key.
It's easy to see that the Aquarius Celestial Key is the key.
Aquarius: "I can't win an argument, and I can't beat them in a fight! I'm so frustrated!"
On the train.
"Waaaaah."
Brantish was leaning against Grammy's chest, tears streaming down her face. She was filled with remorse; if she hadn't opened the door for Id, Aquaria wouldn't have had to sacrifice herself.
"This is not your fault."
Grame reassured Brandish, saying that with Id's strength, whether Brandish opened the door or not, Aquaria would probably have to sacrifice herself to buy them enough time to escape.
three days later.
pier.
Grame stood there with little Brandish, looking at the boundless sea before her. For the first time, she felt fear. Usually, whenever she crossed the sea, she was protected by Aquaria, and Brandish was never there to worry about her. But now?!
"I must pull myself together."
Grammy shook her head. As Brantish's mother, she had to pull herself together and make sure little Brantish was safely delivered to Lady Leila's side.
"Yo."
"You've arrived."
"I've been waiting for you here for a long time."
Just as Grammy, disguised and mustering all her courage, pulled little Brandish along and walked toward the cargo ship ahead, a voice suddenly rang out from behind them.
"Well."
At that moment, Grammy and Brandtish felt as if they had fallen into an ice cave.
When Grammy pulled little Brandish around, they indeed saw Id's devilishly smiling face.
"Let's go on that cruise ship over there!"
"I bought three deluxe tickets."
Just as Grammy was in a panic and at a loss, Id pulled out three luxury cruise tickets and, under the questioning gazes of Grammy and Brandish, produced the letter of entrustment that Jude had given him, along with the letter bearing the insignia of the Hatfilia family.
"Is Lady Leila in danger?"
"I have to go back, I have to go back as soon as possible."
Grame took the envelope from Id, checked its authenticity, and hurriedly opened it, then quickly read it through.
When Grammy saw the words "Leila is in danger," her expression immediately turned panicked, and her voice trembled involuntarily.
Well, even when Grammy herself was in danger, she was never this flustered, which shows how important Leila was to her.
"Don't worry, there's plenty of time."
Id yawned and said calmly.
According to Id's calculations, they would arrive at the Hatfilia family around mid-June.
As for why Id bought tickets for Grammy and Brantish instead of taking them back across the sea?!
Well, Id doesn't care, but Grammy and Brandish definitely won't be able to handle it.
"rest assured."
"I didn't hurt your beloved Aquaria, I just forcibly sent her back to the Celestial Spirit Realm."
Ide turned around, patted Brandish's head, and said with a smile.
"snort."
"Then I forgive you."
Brandish said proudly.
"As for the boat ticket money, it was sponsored by your town mayor."
As Id finished speaking, he winked at little Brandish, a little secret between him and Brandish.
"Um.
""
Brandish was taken aback by the sound, and muttered to herself, "Then I can give you a chance to pursue my mother."
