"Oh, Erza, Wendy, Mirajane! I never expected it would be you who came. I'll have to trouble you again!"
Yajima, dressed in a white chef's uniform, saw Kenichi, Erza, and the others walk in and greeted them with a full smile.
Then, he said to Kenichi: "And you must be Kenichi, right? Your performance at the last Grand Magic Games was truly breathtaking!"
At the last Grand Magic Games, Yajima attended as a special guest and witnessed Fairy Tail's entire journey to victory.
On the first day of the games, Kenichi froze an entire magical town.
Then, in the finals, he single-handedly took on all Lamia Scale's participants.
Such performances left a deep impression not only on Yajima but probably on all the spectators.
"Yajima-san, what do you need us to do this time?"
"No rush for now. Please, rest first!"
After responding to Erza, Yajima brought out two small plates and placed them on the table in front of Kenichi, Erza, and the others.
When Wendy and Erza saw what was on the small plates, their beautiful eyes instantly lit up.
"New desserts!"
"They look delicious!"
Seeing the sparkling light in Erza and Wendy's eyes, Kenichi could only smile and shake his head.
While Erza, Wendy, and Mirajane were enjoying the desserts, Kenichi's gaze fell on a newspaper on the table.
When Kenichi casually picked up the newspaper, Yajima, who had walked over, said with a pained expression: "You probably already know about the Magic Council incident, right?"
One must know that Yajima was a former Council member.
Those Council members killed by Tartaros were all Yajima's former colleagues from his many years of service.
Seeing all his former colleagues killed naturally pained Yajima deeply.
"Mhm."
Hearing Yajima, Erza, Mirajane, and Wendy, who were eating dessert, all stopped and nodded with grave expressions.
"These guys from Tartaros are really…"
Yajima was angrily about to curse a few words.
But before he could finish, Kenichi interrupted him.
"They're here."
Kenichi looked towards the entrance and alerted Erza and the others.
"What's here?"
Erza, Mirajane, and Wendy followed Kenichi's gaze towards the entrance but saw nothing.
However, they didn't doubt Kenichi's words at all.
After all, they knew Kenichi's sensory abilities were extremely powerful.
Since Kenichi said something was coming, then something must indeed be coming.
Kenichi didn't answer Wendy's question.
But soon, Wendy, Erza, and the others saw a figure walk in through the door.
It was a beautiful woman.
The woman had an enchanting bust and shapely legs.
Her curvaceous figure was in no way inferior to Mirajane's.
And on her head, she had a pair of horns.
The moment Kenichi saw this woman, his eyebrow twitched.
This woman was none other than Seilah of the Nine Demon Gates.
Mirajane, standing behind Kenichi, looked at Seilah's angelic face and devilish figure and couldn't help but say with a full smile: "So beautiful!"
However, when Wendy saw Seilah, a look of caution appeared on her face.
"This scent…"
Wendy, being a Dragon Slayer mage, had an exceptionally keen sense of smell.
She caught a faint, familiar scent from Seilah.
This scent made her very uneasy.
"Wendy, what's wrong?"
Erza, noticing Wendy's unusual reaction, turned to look at her and asked.
"This person's scent... it seems familiar, like somewhere…"
Before Wendy could finish her sentence, an image of a person appeared in her mind.
That person was none other than the demon they had encountered earlier in Sun Village, Doriate.
"I remember now! This person's scent is very similar to the demon we met in Sun Village!"
As soon as Wendy said this, Erza's pretty face changed immediately.
Since Doriate was a demon, then this woman before them, who had a similar scent to Doriate, was undoubtedly also a demon.
"So that means, this person is a demon?!"
Erza looked at the Seilah before her and spoke warily.
Hearing Erza, Yajima was shocked as he looked at Seilah.
Not long ago, the demons of Tartaros slaughtered all the members of the Magic Council.
Now, learning that the woman appearing before them was also a demon, how could Yajima not realize that this demon had come for him.
"Not even sparing former Council members?"
Yajima looked at Seilah and spoke with hatred.
Seilah didn't even acknowledge Erza and Wendy. She looked expressionlessly at Yajima and then said in a detached tone: "Since you know my purpose... then... die."
As soon as Seilah finished speaking, Yajima picked up a knife from the dining table and directly stabbed it towards his own body.
"Yajima-san, what are you doing?!"
Seeing Yajima actually attempting suicide, Wendy, Erza, and Mirajane were all shocked.
Only Kenichi, moving as if teleporting, appeared beside Yajima and promptly knocked him out with a chop to the neck.
Kenichi knew that Seilah possessed the curse, Macro.
She could command humans to do anything, including committing suicide.
Just now, Yajima was commanded by Seilah to kill himself.
Seilah, seeing Kenichi save Yajima, moved her eyes slightly, her gaze falling on Kenichi. Then, in the same detached tone, she said: "All stories follow a sequence."
"Since you disrupted the sequence, I have no choice but to give you a different story."
While Wendy, Erza, and the others didn't understand what Seilah was talking about, Kenichi knew.
Seilah loved reading books.
And her manner of speaking was related to books.
She intended to deal with Kenichi first.
As Seilah spoke, she began to use her Macro on Kenichi.
She commanded Kenichi to commit suicide.
But several seconds passed, and Kenichi remained standing still, showing no signs of wanting to kill himself.
"Hmm?"
Seeing that Kenichi showed no reaction after being hit by her Macro, a rare look of surprise finally appeared on Seilah's perpetually impassive pretty face.
