Chapter 61: Chapter 61: Ultear—
"She's one of the nine councilors, Ultear..." Mirajane whispered in surprise. She hadn't expected that last night's events would alarm a council member, let alone prompt one to arrive in Magnolia the very next day.
"Is she here for Nate?"
The other guild members exchanged glances, equally shocked. As Fairy Tail's rowdiest guild, they were no strangers to the Magic Council's attention, but it was rare for a councilor to personally lead an army to their doorstep. It was unclear whether Nate was the one being taken seriously or if it was the involvement of Oración Seis that had drawn their attention.
Lucy leaned in to quietly ask Cana, "Are councilors usually this young?"
Cana, as usual, was holding a barrel of alcohol. "Don't underestimate her. She's an incredibly powerful mage."
Ultear ignored the chatter around her, her dark eyes locking with Nate's at the bar. A faint smile tugged at her lips as she relished his surprise at her appearance. But the moment of excitement was quickly buried, and her expression returned to the calm professionalism expected of her position.
"You are Nate, correct?"
'What do you mean, "You are Nate"? We've been chatting every night, and now you're pretending not to know me?'
Nate couldn't help but internally complain as he got up and walked toward her.
"That's me," he replied.
"I heard you were attacked by one of Oración Seis. I need to speak with you about the details in person."
Ultear glanced around the chaotic bar and shook her head slightly. "Let's find somewhere quieter."
Nate informed Mirajane before leaving with Ultear, following her outside. As they reached the door, Ultear instructed the knights, "Station yourselves here at the guild. It's possible Oración Seis may attack again."
"Yes, Councilor Ultear!"
As Nate was led away, the guild members gathered at the door.
Lucy looked worried. "Is he going to be okay?"
"He'll be fine," one of the others assured her. "Nate's just cooperating with the council."
...
Nate followed Ultear down the stairs from the guild, along the pathway by the river.
Although he had seen many of her private photos online, this was only their second time meeting in person.
Suddenly, Ultear stopped and turned around, noticing Nate staring at her legs. She smiled playfully.
"What's the matter? Don't recognize me?"
Nate teased, "It's hard to recognize you with clothes on."
Ultear's ears reddened slightly. While sending bold photos online was one thing, being confronted with it in person made her extremely self-conscious. Nate thought her blushing face looked even more attractive than the photos she'd sent the night before.
She shot him an annoyed glance, quickened her pace, and called out, "Hurry up."
"Aren't you supposed to be asking about Oración Seis?"
"We'll talk about that in a quiet place."
They arrived at a small café. Ultear ordered some cake and desserts. After taking a bite, she seemed to remember Nate and asked casually, "Do you want some?"
'Wait, you've already taken a bite, and now you're asking?'
Nate thought for a moment, realizing this was probably part of the "game."
"I love cake."
"Well, you're not getting any!" Ultear pulled her hand back with a mischievous glint in her eyes.
Nate sipped his coffee and asked, "So, what do you want to talk about?"
"Can we not talk about Oración Seis for once? I came straight here last night and haven't slept at all."
Ultear rolled her eyes, feigning exhaustion as she covered her mouth and let out a delicate yawn.
"You came here last night?"
"Yes. Do you know how far the council headquarters is from here?" Ultear's eyes gleamed with a lazy charm, her gaze alluring.
After sending her message last night, she had reported the Oración Seis incident in the council's chat group. Following a brief Internet Magic meeting, she volunteered to lead the investigation herself. She had traveled non-stop, only arriving this afternoon.
Truth be told, she wasn't overly concerned about Oración Seis. She was more worried about Nate.
As for why they attacked him, she could guess it had something to do with the Internet Magic. After all, that was what had drawn her to Nate in the first place.
Hearing her explanation, Nate was slightly taken aback.
"You've had a rough time."
"Words alone won't cut it. That's not enough."
Ultear's smile turned seductive, and she slid her long legs onto Nate's lap under the table.
"Come on, give your big sister a massage. I'm exhausted from walking all this way."
Offered such beautiful legs, Nate couldn't resist the temptation. He had been wanting to feel them for a while now, and finally, he got his chance.
Too bad she wasn't wearing black stockings.
Ultear's skin was smooth, like the finest silk. As Nate gently massaged her legs, Ultear instinctively clenched her thighs, feeling warmth spread through her body.
"So, are you really not going to ask about Oración Seis? Then why are you here?"
Nate continued to knead the dessert between his fingers, trying to distract her.
Ultear kept eating her cake, seemingly unaware of Nate's little tricks.
"Not happy to see me?"
"That's not it."
"Then aren't you going to eat something?"
"Can't you see my hands are busy?"
Ultear chuckled softly and picked up a piece of cake. "Let me feed you then. Say 'ahh~'"
'Yeah right, the moment I open my mouth, you'll take it away, won't you?'
Nate thought to himself but decided to play along. To his surprise, she actually fed him.
"Is it good?"
"Delicious."
"Is it because I fed you, or because the cake is good?"
Ultear's eyes sparkled with mischief as she smiled brightly.
Nate felt a strange illusion as if he saw a softer, gentler side to this "wicked" woman.
"Hold on, we can joke online, but in real life, you should call me 'big brother.' Come on, say it once."
"I won't!"
Ultear immediately refused. She liked the dynamic where she got to act as the "big sister."
They spent two hours enjoying their tea, not discussing any important matters at all.
By the time they left the café, the sun was nearly setting.
The warm evening light bathed the small city of 60,000 people in a gentle glow.
The two of them strolled along the riverbank, eventually arriving at a stone bridge.
Ultear leaned in close to Nate and whispered, "Now, let's talk business."
"Alright, then let's find a quieter place."
Nate took her hand, wondering where to go next.
As they wandered, they came across an inn. It seemed like business wasn't doing well, as the place was fairly empty.
To help out the owner, Nate decided to rent a room at the farthest end of the building.
When the "witch's" outer shell was removed, the beauty underneath was just like her private photos. Nate invited her to enjoy the beautiful evening view with him.
The mountains and valleys melded together, the streams dancing with the sunset.
...
"Call me 'Oniichan.'"
"O... Oniichan."
