MM Racing Chapter 71 August
Chapter 71 August
Mavis pushed open the door and was greeted by a small room with only basic amenities such as a bed, wardrobe, table and chairs. The interior was even more rudimentary than the house Mavis had stayed in when she stayed in Konoha.
Even with the strength of Pain and the Akatsuki, Amegakure still lagged far behind Konoha in terms of village development and the living standards of its residents.
This is the tragedy of a small country and a small ninja village.
"咚咚-"
As Mebius was looking around at the room's furnishings, there was a sudden knock on the door.
Mavis turned and opened the door, only to find Xiao Nan, who had returned, standing outside.
“Miss Nan?” Mavis asked, somewhat puzzled.
Xiao Nan raised her hand, gesturing for Mavis to look at the clothes in her hand.
It turned out that Xiao Nan had brought some clothes because she saw that Mavis was wet.
“These are clothes I’ve never worn before. They might be a bit too big for you, but you can wear them for now.” Xiao Nan said as she walked in and handed the clothes to Mavis.
"Thank you, Miss Minami~" Mavis gratefully took the clothes, went into the bathroom to change into dry clothes, and came out.
Xiao Nan looked at Mavis after she changed her clothes and found that the clothes were indeed a bit too big.
The sleeveless top and trousers commonly found in ninja attire were loosely draped over Mavis's body.
The originally tight-fitting top looked a bit loose on Mavis, and she had to roll up the cuffs of her trousers several times to prevent them from dragging on the ground.
The ninja outfit looked strangely out of place on Mavis.
Sure enough, Mavis doesn't look like a ninja, Konan thought to herself.
Mavis, on the other hand, adapted well to her ninja outfit; after all, in her view, clothes were just clothes.
No matter what she wears or what she carries, she is just a Fairy Tail mage.
After changing into dry clothes, Mavis felt a bit more relaxed. In order not to keep Xiao Nan waiting, Mavis quickly dried her long hair and hurried out.
As she continued to dry her wet hair with a towel, she thanked her again, saying, "Thank you so much, Miss Nan."
Xiao Nan shook her head slightly, indicating that it was nothing.
Seeing that Konan didn't leave after delivering the clothes, Mavis thought for a moment, then carried the only two chairs in the room to Konan's side and said with a smile, "Miss Konan, is there something you need from me?"
After a moment of silence, Konan said, "I want to know more about the other world."
......
At this moment, not far from Amegakure, another group of Akatsuki members were also on their way back to Amegakure.
Hidan and Kakuzu walked side by side through the forest, preparing to return to Amegakure to rest for a while.
Although the members of Akatsuki are mostly away from home, they occasionally return to Amegakure for a period of time.
"Ugh, so boring. After returning to Amegakure, I'll have to endure this awful rainy weather every day, and I won't be able to perform the ritual for the evil god." Hidan complained incessantly.
Having long been forced to get used to his partner being a chatterbox, Kakuzu, as usual, scolded, "Shut up, Hidan! If you keep talking, I'll kill you!"
However, like Kakuzu, Hidan had long been accustomed to Kakuzu's killing intent.
Kakuzu has a history of killing his partners, but since his partner was replaced by Hidan, Hidan's special abilities have prevented Kakuzu from changing partners again until now.
Hidan turned his head and continued walking, somewhat bored.
Suddenly, a figure sitting under a tree ahead caught Hidan's attention.
There was an elderly man who looked quite old, with long white hair and a thick beard, sitting with his eyes closed against a tree, as if he were resting.
The old man was shirtless, his body was strong beyond his years, his skin was slightly reddish, and his forehead and arms had patterns made of circles and lines, making him look very different.
"Hey, Kakuzu, look! It seems the Jashin-sama heard my prayers and sent me a guy as a sacrifice, hahaha!" Hidan shouted excitedly to Kakuzu.
Kakuzu, who was calculating his recent bounty earnings, looked up when he heard Hidan's shout.
Unlike Hidan, who is rather dim-witted, Kakuzu's first reaction upon seeing the person sitting under the tree was to be wary, as the person had a strangely intriguing aura about them.
A ninja? How could they be near Amegakure? They don't have headbands, and it's impossible to tell which village they're from... In an instant, various possibilities flashed through Kakuzu's mind.
Hidan, however, had no idea how far ahead of him could go. He brandished his massive scythe-like weapon and shouted at the person under the tree, "Hey, you old geezer under the tree, do you want to worship the Jashin-sama? Hahahaha—"
Upon hearing Hidan's voice, the person under the tree trembled slightly with their eyelashes, then opened their eyes and looked in the direction of Hidan and Kakuzu.
......
Having failed to defeat Gildarts and Cana, Augustus intended to unleash the Arus Machia spell to perish along with the entire kingdom of Fiore.
But at the last moment, he saw Mavis and met her cold gaze. Augustus, still filled with deep regret for not being able to reunite with his parents, finally stopped chanting the magic.
"Just once, just once, I really want to be held in your arms..." With this regret in mind, Auguste closed his eyes and calmly welcomed the arrival of death.
Then he felt his consciousness sink into endless darkness. So, this is what death feels like...?
However, after an unknown amount of time, Augustus felt himself regaining consciousness. Gradually, his consciousness became clearer and clearer, and finally, he opened his eyes.
"Am I still alive?" August, lying on the ground, looked up at the sky and murmured to himself.
As August rose from the ground, he found that his body seemed to have returned to the state it was in before he cast Arusmachia.
Auguste was deeply confused about what had happened to him.
What's going on? My body should have completely disappeared because of Arusmakia, right?
Although August's body seemed to have returned to the state before he used Alus Machia, the exhaustion from the battle with Gildarts and Cana had not been recovered.
Therefore, despite his doubts, August found a place nearby to recover his magic and physical damage.
"I wonder if His Majesty's plan has succeeded, and I wonder how she is now..." As August leaned against the tree trunk behind him and closed his eyes to rest, he heard shouts coming from afar.
"Hey, you old guy under the tree, how about you worship the evil god, hahaha—"
