Erza did not answer right away.
Mirajane looked at Lu Chongwei.
Lu Chongwei looked at Kagura, his expression calm.
Kagura's request had not come out of nowhere.
During the day, when she had called them out by name in the arena, Lu Chongwei had already sensed it.
This was not simple belligerence.
She was searching for a new direction.
If an obsession that had lasted for years suddenly vanished, a person would instead be left standing in place, not knowing how to take the next step.
Lu Chongwei smiled.
"Sure."
Kagura's gaze shifted.
Erza also looked at him.
Lu Chongwei continued, "But not now, and not in private."
Kagura frowned slightly.
"Why?"
"Because the Grand Magic Games are going on right now," Lu Chongwei said. "We're all contestants. If you want to prove yourself, then prove it in front of everyone."
Erza nodded.
"If we meet in the arena, we'll face you with everything we have."
Kagura was silent for a moment.
She seemed a little disappointed, but she did not argue.
"All right."
She raised her head, her gaze becoming firm once more.
"If we meet in the arena, I won't hold back."
Lu Chongwei smiled. "That would be best."
Erza also replied seriously, "Same here."
Seeing that the matter was settled, Millianna finally let out a breath of relief and immediately regained her energy.
"That's great, meow! I was worried you'd start fighting right in the street, and then Kagura would definitely get hauled off by the patrol soldiers passing by, meow!"
Kagura gave her a faint look.
"I wouldn't."
Millianna planted her hands on her hips. "That look on your face just now was totally like you were about to draw your sword, meow!"
Kagura did not answer.
Erza could not help but smile.
Mirajane also laughed
