Kapitel 626: It Was Only a Matter of Time
Earth Land, Ishgar, Kingdom of Fiore, Magnolia.
August 3 x788.
Time passed quickly after Jenny arrived in Magnolia. During that time, nothing out of the ordinary took place. Erza and Irene had yet to return from their quest with Heine and Juliet. Though, that was because they stopped to just spend some time bonding after they completed the quest.
As for the other members of Fairy Tail, they all went about their own business, taking quests, getting drunk at the guild hall, and getting into fights.
Elicia spent all her time preparing for Amar'e's birthday party. Though, because Amar'e was only turning one, there really was not much to do. As long as the mansion was prepared to welcome guests, everything would be fine. Though, they did decide to hold the party outside in the yard.
Lastly, Alfonzo spent all his free time, outside of spending time with his wives, girlfriends, and Amar'e, working on Jenny's order. However, since he was training Ai in magic item crafting, the job took longer than it would have if he were working alone.
In the end, Alfonzo and Ai finished the job just the night before.
"Alright, Jenny, it's all done." Alfonzo said as he led Jenny out of the elevator on the basement floor where the training grounds were located. "I made the two ranged weapons you requested and the close ranged weapon, as well."
"Fantastic." Jenny said while clapping her hands happily. "I can't wait to see them."
Instead of just clapping her hands, Jenny actually wanted to hug Alfonzo tightly. However, when she saw Mirajane's piercing glare from the other side of Alfonzo, she held back. Though she made a note to find a chance to hug him in the future.
'Hmph! So what if you don't like long distance relationships.' Jenny said to herself. 'You think you can reject me so cleanly? I'll make you fall in love with me sooner or later. Then, I'll tell you that I'm not into long distance relationships. Hmph! Hmph!'
'That girl is up to something sinister.' Mirajane thought to herself while narrowing her eyes. 'But with me here, I'll make sure that her plans have no chance of coming true.'
Mirajane was not the only one to accompany Alfonzo and Jenny to the training chamber. In fact, Sun and Saeko, who were both free after finishing quests the day before, were accompanying them, as well. They were both curious to see the new weapons Alfonzo had created.
"We're here." Alfonzo said as he opened the door to the training chamber.
When the group of five entered the room, they saw several boxes laying on the ground. Inside each of those boxes were the armaments for Jenny's [Take Over: Machina Soul].
Seeing those boxes, Jenny ran over to them immediately. Then, she opened them with anticipation written all over her face.
"Is this the gun you were talking about?" Jenny asked as she picked up the multi-barreled gatling gun in the box. "It's pretty heavy."
"Yeah, but that shouldn't be a problem, right?" Alfonzo asked as he and the rest of the group approached. "You told me that you don't really feel the weight of the machines you're wearing when you use your magic."
"that's true." Jenny replied with a nod. "But how am I supposed to test it if I can barely hold it? I can't just assimilate it with my magic. Otherwise, if I don't like it, I can't give it back."
"Hmm… I guess that would be bad." Alfonzo said while cupping his chin.
"I don't' get it." Sun said while tilting her head in confusion. "The machines don't' disappear when she uses her magic, right? So why wouldn't she be able to give it back?"
"Because it would become part of her [Take Over]." Mirajane explained. "Even if she doesn't need the magic item to use it, she would still have the ability."
"Oh, I get it now." Sun replied with a nod.
"Then, what are you going to do?" Saeko asked curiously.
"Honestly, I'm not sure." Jenny replied with a troubled expression on her face.
"Let's do it like this." Alfonzo said as he approached Jenny.
In the next instant, Alfonzo wrapped his arms around Jenny from behind and held the magic gatling gun, helping her support it.
"If I support it like this, you should be able to fire it without knocking yourself over with the recoil, right?"
As soon as Alfonzo wrapped his arms around her, Sun and Saeko nodded, agreeing that Alfonzo had a good idea. Meanwhile, Jenny's face had reddened quite quickly. This was the first time she had been held so intimately by a man, after all. Mirajane, on the other hand, was gritting her teeth so hard that they might break at any moment.
'Damn it… That sneaky little vixen must be doing this on purpose.' Mirajane thought to herself. 'If I had thought of it first, I could have stopped this from happening. Any one of my [Satan Souls] would have been enough to support that gun for her. Damn…'
Hearing the grinding of teeth, everyone knew where they were coming from without even having to think about it. While Alfonzo wore a helpless expression, Sun and Saeko did not really react much. Jenny, on the other hand, threw a stealthy sneer in Mirajane's direction.
'That little bitch really is doing it on purpose.' Mirajane said to herself while clenching her fists.
["I think we should show her the [Power of Destruction]."] Bael said from Mirajane's inner world. ["If we let her know her place, she won't have the mind to think about putting the moves on our man anymore."]
'That's not such a bad idea.' Mirajane said as her expression turned contemplative.
'I get the idea that another headache is coming.' Alfonzo muttered internally. 'Mira's definitely up to something devious.'
["Just let them fight it out."] Riot said. ["At the very least, the cat fight should be fun."]
["And if we're lucky, they'll lose a few pieces of their clothes, too."] Bedlam said with a grin. ["I mean, even though you don't' intend to touch that Jenny, just looking won't hurt, right?"]
'Bedlam, when did you turn into such a degenerate?' Alfonzo asked.
["If I'm a degenerate, there's only one place where it could have come from."] Bedlam shot back
'Fair enough.' Alfonzo replied while shrugging his shoulders internally.
While everyone was having their own thoughts, Alfonzo flared his magic power for a moment. Then, a few metal targets and training dummies materialized on the other side of the training chamber.
"Alright, you can use those to test the weapons out." Alfonzo said as he gestured at the new constructs.
"Okay." Jenny replied as she aimed the barrels of the gatling gun at a target.
"Whirl!*
*Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!*
Jenny then pulled the gatling guns trigger. When she did, the barrels started to spin, picking up speed quickly. Then, the sound of rapid gun fire could be heard. However, as Alfonzo explained to Ai, there was no live ammunition in this weapon. So, Jenny's lavender colored magic power was fired in a stream towards the targets.
A few of the magic bullets in the first volley managed to hit the target. However, thanks to the recoil, most of them missed. Yet, she was able to correct her aim over time, eventually coping with the recoil well enough to not miss after about two minutes of continuous fire.
"Phew! That was tiring." Jenny said after she let go of the trigger and stopped flowing her magic power into the gatling gun. "In just two minutes or so, I used up almost half of my magic power."
"Well, the firing rate on this thing is crazy." Alfonzo said as he took the gatling gun out of Jenny's hands and put it back in the box. "So, you'll have to get used to regulating your firing speed and magic power usage before you can use it efficiently."
"Yes, you're right." Jenny replied while nodding her head. "But I like it. So, I'll take it."
"Sure, I'll pack up the weapon for you to take back." Alfonzo replied as he closed the box.
"There's no need for that." Jenny said as she shook her head. "I'll never use it again after I use my magic on it. So, you can keep it. I'm sure you can put it to good use."
"Are you sure?" Alfonzo asked with a slight frown on his face. "You're paying for the whole thing."
"Just think of it as me trying to form a good relationship with you." Jenny said while winking coquettishly. "I may need to request you make me more stuff in the future."
Once again, the sound of teeth grinding could be heard. But this time, everyone, including Alfonzo ignored it.
"Well then, let's try out the other ones." Alfonzo said.
And that's exactly what they did. Alfonzo held the two shoulder mounted vulcan cannons on Jenny's narrow shoulders. Then, she flowed her magic power into them and fired off a few volleys. After that, Alfonzo did not need to help her with the magic power blade, as it was basically a lightsaber. So, Jenny flowed her magic power into it before cutting down a few of the training dummies with little effort.
"Great!" Jenny said as she stopped providing her magic power to the magic power blade. "I'll take them all!"
Then, before anyone could react, jenny threw herself at Alfonzo, wrapped her arms around his neck, and gave him a kiss on the cheek. Then, she quickly jumped back, avoiding a punch thrown by Mirajane.
"Calm down, Mirajane, I was only showing my gratitude." Jenny said with a smirk playing on her lips. "There's no reason to get so angry, is there?"
"Oh, you misunderstand." Mirajane replied while flaring her magic power near its limits. "I just wanted to help you test out your new stuff in combat. That punch was just to let you know to get ready."
"Oh, I see." Jenny said as she also flared her magic power. "Well then, I guess I should thank you for your consideration."
"Oh, it looks like she's finally taking off her innocent mask, huh?" Saeko said. "she's still just as enthusiastic, though."
"Yeah, and she's really confident in herself." Sun added. "it's too bad she's never seen Mira fight before. She can't even tell that Mira is only letting out as much magic power as she has in total, too."
While Sun and Saeko spoke quietly about what they were seeing, Alfonzo only sighed in resignation. Then, he walked towards Sun and Saeko to watch what was to come.
"Mira, just don't hurt her too bad." Alfonzo said without looking back. "I'm sure Master Bob would be angry if she came back too banged up."
"Don't' worry, I won't." Mirajane said while cracking her knuckles. "I only intend to teach her a lesson about going after another woman's man without getting her permission first."
"Lici doesn't seem to mind, though." Sun said.
"Neither do the rest of us." Saeko added.
Hearing that, Mira turned her glare from jenny to Sun and Saeko. While Saeko replied by smiling with a battle thirsty smile, Sun only stuck out her tongue before hiding behind Alfonzo.
'Those girls, they're only trying to push my buttons.' Mirajane thought as she smiled internally.
Meanwhile, jenny looked at Alfonzo with annoyance.
'Is he looking down on me?' Jenny asked herself. 'No, that shouldn't be it. He's not that kind of person, I know that. He must just be confident in his wife's abilities. That's normal. Still, he's underestimating me.'
"Anyway, why don't' we get this test underway?" Jenny said with a smile. "What do you think, Mirajane?"
"OH, I can't wait." Mirajane replied as her smile turned into the pleasant one she usually wears. "I was just waiting for you to say the word."
"[Take Over: Machina Soul: Battle Suit]." Jenny chanted.
"[Take Over: Satan Soul: Gilgamesh]." Mirajane chanted simultaneously.
With both ladies chanting in unison, they were simultaneously covered in the light of their respective [Take Over Magic]. At the same time, Alfonzo, Sun, and Saeko backed off to the edge of the training chamber before Alfonzo activated the defensive shield so that they would not be hit by any stray spells.
