[BOOK 1] The Mage of Fairy Tail (Fairy Tail Various! X Reader)

Chapter 4: Dear Kaby

"An enemy of literature!" Everlue exclaimed. "My massive collection of books and art only prove. I'm cultures greatest friend!"

"With that ugly maid collection of yours proves you don't know squat about beauty!" Lucy roasted.

"How dare you mock them. They are the very definition of beauty!" Everlue then pulled Lucy's arms back. "Let's see. What does it hold?" Everlue looked at the book that's in Lucy's hands. "Let me guess, he buried his fortune and there's a treasure map hidden inside? Tell me or I'll snap your arm like a toothpick." Lucy refused to respond, but she did stick her tongue out at him. Everlue started to pull her arms back even more. "Now is not the time to get sassy. Listen, I myself commission this books very creation. Therefore, any secret it holds is rightfully my property!" Lucy was shocked at what he had said.

But before Lucy could comment, a blue cat and a orange and black striped cat jumped out of nowhere and kicked Everlue on the both sides of his face. That caused Everlue to release his grip on Lucy's wrists.

"Happy! Tigra!" Lucy exclaimed. "That was so cool guys!" Happy and Tigra ginned then Happy's wings disappeared causing him to fall in the brown looking water.

"What's this? Flying cats?" Everlue asked with irritation in his tone.

"Bye Nabe is bappe." Happy gurgled.

"I wouldn't stay in there if I was you." Tigra said with disgust.

"Bup va vader veelz zo goog."

"That's sewer water Happy." Lucy sweat dropped. After that whole incident, Lucy finally focused on Everlue. She pulled out one of her golden gate keys and said, "Looks like the tables have turned, but if you let me keep the book I'll think about going easy on you. Although I'm tempted to give you a good smack."

"Oh! A celestial wizard? But for a reader, you seem to be a bit deficient in your turns of phrase. 'The tables have turned' implies that the weaker party has rallied to claim victory, but there's no way you and those cats could ever defeat me and my diver magic! Boyoyoyo!" He then dived into the ground.

"So he does that using magic? I had no idea Everlue was a wizard too." Happy realized.

"Yeah! Thought he just did that because he was really weird and so he wouldn't have to go through a door." Tigra said. "And Happy you really smell." Tigra covered her nose.

Out of nowhere Everlue popped out of the ground. Lucy had to continuously dodge his attacks. "Look, I know the whole story now! It's a horrible adventure novel about a trashy little character named, Duke Everlue!" Lucy explained.

"Are you serious?" Happy and Tigra asked.

"I don't know that I'd call the protagonist trashy, but yes the story itself is crap and to think it was written by the great Kemu Zaleon!" Everlue said while crashing through the walls. "Inexcusable!" Everlue appeared behind Lucy and tried to capture her, but Lucy flipped away from him in the nick of time.

"I can't believe your arrogance! You forced him to write it!" Lucy yelled. "Arrogant. Moi? The word doesn't begin to apply. To tell my story is an honor, no matter the circumstances!" Everlue started to destroy more of the surrounding walls so the bricks would land on Lucy.

"Then why'd you have to blackmail him into it?" Lucy replied while trying not to get hit by the falling bricks.

"Blackmail?" Happy repeated. Tigra would have said it to if she wasn't trying to avoid the falling bricks.

"What's the big deal? He just needed some extra encouragement to take the job." Everlue said with an ugly smile and twisting his mustache.

"Oh really." Lucy said sarcastically.
