Mira and Ultear

Mira, flying at full speed, quickly returned to the position. She carried Chiba and barged directly into the military tent, startling everyone inside.

Her chest rose and fell slightly as she asked directly, "Is there a doctor?!"

Jikade, who was in the main seat, suddenly stood up and walked over quickly, saying, "Miss Mira... this is... Chiba... what happened to him?"

Before Mira headed to the battlefield, she and Erza went to the Magic Council's camp. Although she didn't have a good impression of the Magic Council, she still needed to contact them to find out Chiba's whereabouts.

So Jikade told her that Chiba and Nuolin had gone to the main battlefield.

Mira quickly reported, "A dragon appeared on the main battlefield, and he was severely injured by it."

"Dragon?!"

No sooner had the girl finished speaking than a gasp of surprise rang out from inside the tent.

Jikade shouted quickly, "Medic! Hurry, take him to get treatment! Ma Yi, gather all troops, launch a full-scale attack on the main battlefield!"

A young man stepped out from the crowd and replied in a deep voice, "Yes!"

Dragons are the most powerful creatures in the world. Although the people here have only heard of dragons in legends, it doesn't stop them from believing in their power. To put it bluntly, if a dragon joins the battlefield, it will be a merciless crushing defeat.

Mira then said, "There's no need to go, the dragon has already been dealt with."

"..."

"..."

"???"

"!!!"

"The dragon... was taken care of? You did it?" Jikade's eyes widened in disbelief.

"No." Mira's eyes flickered slightly, and she shook her head, saying, "When we were almost in despair, a snow-white dragon suddenly appeared on the battlefield. That dragon killed the first one and then disappeared."

Those present were stunned. Dragons were extremely rare creatures; almost no one had ever seen one. The sudden appearance of two dragons—had dragons become as common as cabbages?

Mira, no longer caring about the speechless, shocked people, led the medic that Jikade had summoned out of the tent.

The doctor said, "Miss Mira, please come with me."

Mira nodded. "Please be quick, Doctor!"

The doctor led Mira to a somewhat secluded tent and went inside.

The room was filled with medical equipment and some strangely shaped medical magic items. Mira gently placed Chiba on the bed.

"Hmph, this guy really knows how to risk his life..."

Suddenly, the doctor, who was clearly a middle-aged man, spoke in a melodious, girlish voice. Mira instantly became alert, instantly switching into her Satan Soul Form, and facing him, coldly asked, "Who exactly are you?!"

The middle-aged man before her shone brightly, his height decreased, and his figure became increasingly slender. In no time, he transformed into the appearance of a beautiful young woman.

The girl wore a simple dress, had bangs, and her hair was tied in pigtails. She held a crystal ball in her hand, and her gaze towards Mira carried a hint of hostility.

"Mirajane Strauss, Fairy Tail prospective S-Class Mage, uses Take Over Magic and is known as the [Demon]. She's rumored to be one of the rumored girlfriends of fellow prospective S-Class Mage, [Flame Emperor] Chiba Uchiha..." The girl rubbed her temples slightly. "That bastard, does he have several rumored girlfriends?"

Mira's pretty face flushed crimson, but she stared coldly at the girl before her and said coldly, "Who exactly are you? How do you know these things?"

A seductive smile played on the girl's delicate lips. She glanced at Chiba on the bed and said, "I'm this guy's master. As for what kind of master, you can guess for yourself~"

Mira's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly.

The two women stared at each other, as if sparks were flying in the air.

"Well..."

At that moment, Chiba on the bed, let out a painful groan.

Mira rushed to the bedside and asked hurriedly, "Chiba, are you awake? Can you see me?"

"Is it... Mira?" Chiba groggily opened his eyes.

The girl walked over quietly, looking down at him with a smile.

Chiba seemed to notice the commotion, slightly tilting his head and raising his gaze.

"Long time no see," Ultear said with a slight smile.

"..."

"..."

"..."

Chiba withdrew his gaze and murmured softly, "Am I... really... dreaming...?"

A dangerous smile curved Ultear's lips. She leaned forward slightly and spoke softly, "It's not a dream, Chiba... Have you forgotten? Back then, you clearly did it for me..."

"Bang!"

Mira, transformed into Satan, slashed at the girl with her claw, but the girl raised the crystal ball in her hand to block Mira's attack.

"The patient is lying here, do you want to hurt him?" Ultear said with a gentle smile.

Mira's chest heaved with anger, but she still reluctantly reverted to her Satan transformation.

"What exactly is your relationship with him..." Mira's voice suddenly became hoarse, and she even had difficulty speaking.

After Ultear revealed that information, Mira made many guesses in her mind.

Such an intimate address, such a tender tone, made her unable to help but doubt... the authenticity of the girl's words.

She had once asked Chiba if he remembered anything from his past, Chiba said he remembered nothing except for Feiyin, so she didn't think much of it. But one day she suddenly remembered that even if someone has amnesia and has forgotten everything from before, it doesn't mean they've lost their past. She found Chiba by the stream, but what about before she found him? Who was he? What was his identity?

He uses a special kind of energy called Chakra, which is said to be used by people from the Land of Shinobi. Could he have wandered here from the Land of Shinobi? And could this girl before him also be from the Land of Shinobi?

Could it be someone he used to like?

She suddenly felt tired. She knew Chiba was deliberately avoiding her. She had made it so obvious; anyone but a naive person like Erza Natsu should have noticed something was off. Yet he hadn't revealed his feelings.

Is it because you're afraid of being hurt if you reject me? We're all guild members, and I don't want to hurt anyone. Perhaps this is the right choice...

Ultear suddenly burst into a sweet laugh, laughing so hard she almost fell over. She laughed for about a minute before stopping.

"You don't actually think I have that kind of relationship with him, do you?"

She stared into Mira's eyes and smiled, her eyes crinkling.

Mira remained silent, and no one knew what she had been thinking.

Upon seeing this, Ultear's smile slowly faded.

She shrugged and said, "Alright, I'm not teasing you anymore. To put it simply, this guy saved my life before, so he's my savior. I happened to run into you guys here, so I followed you... I'm here to treat him."
