Fairy Tail: Collapsing Stars

Chapter 3 - Erza was born

“It’s okay, Irene. No one will attack our bakery at all. Even if there is, I can easily defeat them!”

Evan felt that he was about to suffocate, so he gently pushed Irene away and convinced her.

Evan didn’t call Irene his mother. Ever since he was able to speak, he has been calling Irene by her first name, and Irene didn’t say anything about it.

“Evan, you must not be careless! People in this world are unpredictable, and some people will use some despicable means even if they’re not our opponents, so you must protect yourself!”

Irene rubbed Evan’s little face and spoke softly.

“Understood.”

Evan knew that Irene was doing it for his own good, so he nodded, as if he was listening carefully.

“That’s a good boy!”

As Irene said, she snapped her fingers lightly, and all kinds of fruits and flour appeared in the room.

These are the ingredients used by the bakery to make bread. Irene planted them herself. As much bread as she makes every day, she goes to the mountain behind to get the ingredients.

Then Irene will use enchantment magic to process these materials and bring them back to the bakery.

Because the ingredients are fresh every day, Irene’s bakery is always full of customers. This is also one of the secrets to the continued popularity of the small shop.

As for whether the materials Irene planted on the mountain will be destroyed, there is no need to worry about that. Irene has enchanted that mountain range, and neither wild beasts nor human magisters can easily interfere.

“Irene is back…”

As Irene prepared the ingredients, the guests in the bakery greeted Irene one after another.

“Today I have something to do and I have to close the store early, so from now on, all unsold bread in this shop will be half price, first come, first served, there are only so many in here!”

Irene seemed to have something to discuss with Evan, but there were too many people in the room. She thought for a while, and then preached to the people in the room.

“Half price?!”

“Great!”

“I want five!”

“I want all of these!”

“Jack, save one for me. My children love to eat the bread made by Irene! Ever since I ate one, I haven’t stopped eating them!”

“Hang on! Everyone in the town loves to eat the bread made by Irene! If you have the ability, grab them, and if you don’t, you will go hungry!”

In less than a while, the bread in the bakery was looted.

Irene smiled, watching the customers who snatched the bread and paid for it and left the bakery, and kept waving goodbye to the customers.

It wasn’t until after the last customer left that Irene walked out of the bakery, took off the open sign on the door, and replaced it with a closed sign before returning to the bakery.

“Why is there a discount so early today?”

Evan sat on the front desk and asked Irene.

Generally, they only sell at a discount when they are about to close at 5 pm. There is no bread for sale in the store. Sometimes it is 50% off, or 10% off. Depends on Irene’s mood that day.

“There is something I must talk to you about.”

Irene looked at Evan with a complicated expression.

“?!”

Evan was a little puzzled, but before he could think about it, Irene had already lifted him up and walked towards the stairs behind the bakery.

The two went upstairs to the second floor of the bakery, where Evan and Irene rested.

“Actually, it’s like this… Evan, you are going to be an older brother soon!”

Irene stroked Evan’s little head and smiled softly.

“Oh.” Evan nodded, indicating that he understood.

“‘Oh’?”

Irene looked at Evan who looked calm,

There was a hint of doubt in her eyes.

It seems that Evan’s reaction was too flat, so she didn’t know whether Evan could understand that he would get a younger sister.

“I mean, it’s really great!”

Evan also knew that his reaction was too flat, so he tried his best to pretend to be a child’s reaction, matching his innocent appearance.

“Really? That’s great! At first, I thought you didn’t want to. If you are really unwilling, Evan, I originally planned to wait until you are willing, Evan, then give birth to this child…”

Irene caressed Evan’s face, showing a relieved expression.

In fact, Irene is also very hesitant about the child in her womb, and she will never be able to forgive the father of the child in her womb in her life.

But she knew that the child in her womb was innocent, and her contradictory mentality made her hesitate for a long time. In the end, Irene still planned to give birth to the child.

“By the way, Evan!” Irene suddenly thought of something, looked at Evan and asked, “What kind of name do you think should be given to this child?”

“…” Evan was silent for a moment, Irene’s child, that is Erza! Erza must be called Erza! It would always feel weird if her name isn’t that, Evan thought so, and replied: “If it’s a girl, how about Erza?”

“Erza?” Irene’s face brightened. “It’s really a good name, Erza Belserion, it sounds good! Then it’s settled, the child’s name is Erza!”

“Erza Belserion. Although the surname has been changed, Belserion itself is Erza’s real surname anyway, so it probably doesn’t matter.” Evan thought indifferently.

“Erza~” Irene was still chanting Erza’s name at this moment, then her eyes became firmer, she looked at Evan and said, “Evan, I am going to give birth!”

“Oh, you’re going to give birth.” Evan nodded flatly, and then opened his eyes wide. Only then did he realize what Irene was talking about, and immediately asked, “Are you going to give birth? Here? Right now? I’m going to see a doctor…”

As Evan said, he gently floated up from the table. This is the state of weightlessness he achieved by using the ability of many fruits.

“Separation!”

Before Evan floated out of the window, accompanied by a burst of light, a lovely baby had already appeared in Irene’s arms.

“Look, Evan, this child is so cute…”

Irene looked at the child in her arms, as if her heart had been healed.

“It’s born? It’s already born? Suddenly, it’s born?”

Evan’s brain is still in a shutdown state, and the common sense of life in his previous life has now become Evan’s burden in this different world.

“She’s really cute…”

Evan floated in front of Irene and Erza. He looked at Erza who was still a baby, and the corners of his mouth raised involuntarily.

Evan didn’t know why, but when he looked at the pure Erza, his desire for power and his restlessness about facing the black dragon in the future disappeared completely at this moment, as if everything had been healed.

“Wow…”

Just as Evan and Irene looked at the baby-looking Erza and smirked, as if everything had been cured, Erza suddenly burst into tears.

“She’s probably hungry! I’m going to find milk powder… It seems that our family has run out of milk powder. I’ll go outside to buy it.”

Evan looked at the crying Erza, and immediately floated up, ready to go outside to buy milk powder.

“Add nutrition!”

Just as Evan was about to buy milk powder, Irene waved her hand and cast a nutrition-enhancing magic on Erza. Erza immediately stopped crying and continued to sleep quietly.

“This enchantment magic works really well.”

Evan looked at Irene’s universal enchantment magic, and was a little jealous.
