3 days later Irene and I are standing hand in hand in front of the cave. It"s time for me to leave and the both of us are saying our final goodbyes. I remind her to take care of herself and her baby when I"m gone and not to feel like she is alone. I also let her read my mana signature so that she can know when I make my reappearance in the future."Although I feel bad about asking you to do it, please go according to plan for your child. I know it will be hard for you but it"s necessary." And at last I remind her of the part where she leaves Erza in Rosemary Village. Like I said, I feel bad to ask her to do it. I know how much she loves Erza after living with her for so long.
"Alright, I know already. You should go now or else I"ll keep you here to myself." Aah, the smile she gave was just like a newlywed wife sending her husband out to work. Though I don"t exactly know what that"s like, I"m sure it"s the same.
"Okay, I"ll see you in the future. Bye." I gave her one last kiss before teleporting back to X397, where my next target for the harem is. I"m sure anyone familiar with Fairy Tail would know who she is since she is the only woman apart from Irene introduced from this timeline.
Anna Heartfilia.
The ancestor of Lucy Heartfilia. And the person who initiated the Eclipse plan. Right now she is only in the preparation phase of the Eclipse plan but in just a few years may be less, she would start the plan. The reason I wanted to be with her before that is for two reasons. One, I want to gain her trust so that I can see the gate being opened so that I could help her if things go wrong.
Two, the more time I spend with her the more chance I have to see Zeref. I could always search for him using my s.p.a.ce control but I don"t want him to find out that I had been looking for him. Why? Just because.
If he sees me with Anna, then I can even have the chance to fight him and talk freely. You know, about the future and what not. I won"t give away anything serious but I can still talk about it. Nothing will happen even if I reveal myself to be from the future to Zeref anyway. No matter how sad he is about that curse and being immortal, he still knows that it gives him a lot of power so he has a lot of filled up ego.
But that can be left for later. Right now, I am standing in front of the Heartfilia Clan residence. It"s quite a lot shabbier than I thought. It looks just like any other house here in this time, just a bit bigger. Well, how the place looks are none of my concern. As my thoughts came up to here I raised my leg to walk forward but then suddenly stopped.
How the h.e.l.l am I supposed to go about this? I can"t just walk inside and say that I"m here to gain her trust can I? the more I think about it, the more ways I will appear suspicious to them. Wait, she was a school teacher right? If I go take up a job there, maybe that would help. Yeah, that"s a good plan. Good thinking me.
And so after heading over to the local school and persuading the old lady who ran the place, I was able to get a job as a teacher. What would I teach? The most important thing in the world and yet also the hardest. The dreaded math. Now, you might be wondering why it"s the most important right? Well, if you want to not get conned by the merchants in this world, you have to at least know the basics.
Apart from that, math can sometimes come in handy when in regards to magic and the people here also tell time by basic math. Anyway, math is important. But as a victim to it in the past myself, I feel bad to those I will be teaching. No one should ever go through that h.e.l.l known as math. Not even your worst enemy. Aagh, these useless thoughts are getting to me. It"s not even important what I teach. Now, where is Anna.
I walked through the house which is called school and soon came in front of a room with no door. Standing inside surrounded by a bunch of kids was a young woman with a shapely hourgla.s.s figure. She had her lengthy hair tied back in a ponytail and had side-swept bangs in front, with two strands of hair draped down the sides of her head. This was Anna Heartfilia. The woman I"m here for. Anna was dressed in elegant red and white robes with a high-collared cloak. She wore a keyhole blouse and a long dress that made her look s.e.xy yet elegant.
She was currently focused on teaching the children around her with a warm smile on her face. She didn"t even notice me entering and standing at the side watching her. But that didn"t mean the children didn"t, soon after I entered, they started pointing at me to show Anna that someone was here. When she noticed them pointing at me, she turned around and wore a slightly surprised face when she saw me. She told the kids to behave before making her way towards me.
"I haven"t seen you here before. How can I help you?" she asked me in a gentle tone as she reached me. It was told in the canon that Anna was a warmhearted person. And I can"t help but agree, with what I just saw from her interaction with the children and how she even talks with strangers. I"m completely certain that she must have a lot of admirers.
"h.e.l.lo. My name is Ray Genesis. And I will be a new teacher here starting from today. I hope you will take care of me." I left other thoughts aside for the moment and introduced myself with a smile. Which she returned and we shook our hands.
This will take some time since I don"t really have a plan to win her heart. But I will first get to know her personally and improvise. Considering that not much was said about her in the canon, taking things slow might be the right way to go. Still, I"m looking forward to getting to know her and possibly seeing her open the Eclipse Gate with my own eyes.
