Chapter 10 Planning and Change
Chapter 10 Planning and Change
The unexpected sound stopped Shirou Kotomine's actions.
Taking in the entire situation on the field, Kotomine Shirou slowly stopped moving and gradually retreated, increasing the distance between himself and the people around him.
After the recent battle, Shirou Kotomine has roughly figured out the basic qualities of these people.
He could only marvel at how these were people from the magical world; each of these bandits possessed exceptional physical abilities, some even surpassing the physical prowess of Shirou Kotomine before his enhancement.
These people even possess magic.
Don't underestimate them just because they're small fry. According to Lucy, in the city they used to live in, even though fishing was far more developed than magic, about 10% of the city's population possessed magic.
Even in such an environment, Lucy still saw it as a place where magic was rare.
This shows just how exaggerated the overall prevalence of magic in this world is.
Therefore, these burly men who were bandits all possessed magic and magical powers.
However, whether their magic power is sufficient or whether their magic has destructive power is uncertain.
After all, this is a magical society.
There are more life-related spells than combat-related spells.
Therefore, Shirou Kotomine, who doesn't know if these people possess combat magic, needs to be constantly on guard against them to prevent a disastrous accident.
If any of these people do possess combat magic, maintaining a proper distance would give Shirou Kotomine enough time to react.
"Shirou, be careful. These guys are scum who abuse magic. They're also involved in human trafficking. They're the most shameless mages ever."
Upon seeing Shirou Kotomine, Lucy immediately shouted loudly.
Clearly, she was extremely angry at this moment, her hopes shattered and her spirits humiliated.
She was so oblivious to the possibility of angering the thugs and endangering her life.
She's just that kind of sentimental person.
"Hmph, stop talking nonsense, or you'll lose your life."
Lucy's words indeed angered the other party. After threatening Lucy, the fake fire dragon, as the leader of the bandits, turned his attention to Kotomine Shirou.
His eyes were filled with vigilance.
"Kid, I misjudged you. I originally thought you were just a brash rookie mage, but I didn't expect you to be this type of mage. I was wrong."
"But now that your companion is in my hands, I think you'd better just surrender obediently."
"Otherwise, I can't guarantee this girl's safety."
The fake fire dragon cautiously threatened Kotomine Shirou.
"Surrender?"
Kotomine Shirou chuckled and muttered to himself.
"But I think you're the one who should surrender!"
"What do you mean?"
Upon hearing Shirou Kotomine's words, the fake fire dragon's face was filled with confusion.
He really didn't understand where the other party got the confidence to say such a thing.
But the experienced man still looked around warily, worried that the other party might have accomplices hiding and preparing to launch a sneak attack on him.
In fact, he was right.
Shirou Kotomine and Lucy's accomplices did indeed arrive, although they had not made prior arrangements.
The attack came from the sky.
A figure immediately fell between the fake fire dragon and Lucy, separating the two.
"Happy, take Lucy away quickly."
"Shirou? Lucy? What are you doing here?"
"It's a cat named Happy flying in the sky," Happy asked in confusion.
That's right, the newcomer was none other than the real fire dragon Natsu, accompanied by the flying cat Happy.
"We'll talk about that later!"
"I see."
Realizing just how chaotic the scene was, Happy immediately took Lucy and flew away.
"Don't even think about escaping!"
Seeing that Happy and Lucy had quickly flown away from the ship, the fake fire dragon hurriedly used its fire magic, shooting a pillar of fire directly at Lucy.
But Harpy is an experienced driver.
As it dodged, none of the fake Rathalos's attacks hit its mark.
As a result, the fake fire dragon became increasingly anxious.
"Don't let that woman get away. If she takes us to the council, we're all finished!"
Upon hearing their boss's warning, his men grabbed their guns and prepared to shoot Lucy and Happy in mid-air.
That's right, in this magical world, there are also firearms.
Just then, a soft laugh suddenly rang in their ears: "Have you all forgotten about me?"
A cold glint flashed past.
The guns that were about to be fired at Lucy were instantly cut in half.
Kotomine Shirou, who had been standing some distance away, had now come to stand in front of them.
In his hand, a dagger gleaming with magical light was emitting a faint, cold glint.
The dagger that Shirou Kotomine casually picked up from the ground, under his magical enhancement, displayed the splendor of a divine weapon.
"Hey, how are you doing, Natsu?"
With Natsu, who hadn't stood up since landing and had been vomiting in place, behind him, Shirou Kotomine asked with a smile.
"No, it won't work."
Natsu's response was reluctant.
"Since you can't handle it, then leave this to me. Just be careful to dodge and don't get hurt."
Natsu, the Dragon Slayer Mage, is the protagonist of this world in Shirou Kotomine's memories.
He possesses the magic to transform his physique into that of a dragon, making him extremely powerful.
However, even a strong person like him has his own weaknesses.
That means you get motion sickness when traveling.

For example, the boat they are standing on right now.
Natsu is currently seasick.
Therefore, Natsu was unable to serve as a fighting force until he left the ship.
Therefore, at this moment, only Shirou Kotomine is capable of fighting.
Even so, Shirou Kotomine showed no fear whatsoever, and a smile remained on his face.
Because everything is going according to his plan.
Natsu and Happy came here because they heard in the city that Fairy Tail's fire dragon had come here and was having a party on the ship.
As a member of Fairy Tail, and even as the dragon himself, Natsu naturally knew it was a lie.
He has a strong sense of belonging to the guild and will not allow anyone to tarnish the name of Fairy Tail.
So he will definitely come.
In Kotomine Shirou's memory, this is how the story unfolded.
However, just in case, Shirou Kotomine still made some arrangements.
For example, by subtly instructing someone to deliberately say these words while standing next to Natsu.
"Although I don't really like using underhanded tactics, I have no choice but to do this in order to join Fairy Tail."
"But what follows is the exciting battle."
After giving Natsu a few instructions, Shirou Kotomine turned his gaze back to the fake fire dragon opposite him, while glancing at the surrounding minions out of the corner of his eye.
With a slight upturn of his lips, Shirou Kotomine vanished from his spot in an instant.
He swept past the flames released by the fake fire dragon and quickly appeared among several henchmen.
In just a few moments, these henchmen had lost the ability to resist and lay on the ground groaning in pain.
I didn't spend much more effort dealing with these people.
After quickly eliminating the surrounding distractions, Shirou Kotomine looked again at the fake fire dragon that had just released magic and whose hand had not yet fallen.
"You're next."
"It was Kotomine Shirou who said softly."
"Hmph, you're already getting cocky just because you beat a few small fry?"
"Kid, I'll show you what real strength is."
With his hands covered in flames, the fake fire dragon declared disdainfully.
"Really? I hope you'll be just as arrogant later."
The previously surging fighting spirit quickly subsided. Kotomine Shirou glanced at the fake fire dragon with a light laugh, then walked to the side and grabbed the railing to steady himself.
His other hand was gripping Natsu's scarf.
Then he looked at the scene behind the fake fire dragon.
"What do you mean?"
Although it didn't understand the other party's intentions, the experienced fake fire dragon quickly looked back.
What came into his view was a terrifying tsunami crashing towards the ship.
