Chapter 4
"So beautiful!"
Girls are generally unable to resist beautiful things, let alone a little girl like Erza.
You know, before joining the guild, her past world was dark for a long time. When had she seen such a gorgeous picture?
She couldn't help but take a step forward, and suddenly remembered something, turned her head and took a look. The boy, who was about the same age as her, waved his hand slightly, indicating that she could watch at will.
The girl walked down the steps, looked at everything around with curious eyes, and took a step.
Each item was labeled and even had detailed instructions.
She didn't need to ask Loya, she could understand the name of the item and its purpose.
"Transformation magic stone, fire magic crystal, acceleration boots, wind chime glasses, magic motorcycle... so many magical things."
For a moment, Erza was dazzled, and her cute face also had more smiles.
In front of Erza, who had just come into contact with the magic world, everything was full of mystery. After discovering that these were real objects, she couldn't help but turn around and ask Loya
"What kind of magic is this? It can create so many things"
"This is not magic.
Loya grinned.
"Everything is real. There was originally a small room here, which was enlarged using the Earth Shape Magic. Many magic patterns were engraved on the walls to stabilize the surrounding walls."
Then I used the illusion magic to cover the entrance, and added a few details. Forget it, you won't understand if I tell you... In short, this is my secret base."
"Everything inside is my collection."
It's called the Room of Requirement, but it's actually a treasure house.
It's filled with all kinds of magic props and magic devices, which Loya collected little by little over three years, and then gave it this name.
While introducing it, Loya suddenly thought of something, and his face suddenly became serious.
"By the way, the matter about the secret base is a secret between the two of us. Only you and I know it. You must not tell the old man, and the same goes for others. Otherwise, I will definitely be scolded."
"Ah, these are not allowed?"
Erza's face became nervous when she heard Loya's words.
"It's okay, as long as you don't tell anyone, no one will know"
"But……"
Erza hesitated, lowered her head and pinched the corner of her clothes with her small hands.
Makarov, the president, had brought her to the guild and given her a family. She was grateful to him, and she didn't want to deceive him if she could.
Just as Erza was hesitating, she heard Loya continue to say
"It's okay, it's not a big deal. There aren't many people coming to the underground library anyway. If it weren't for me, let alone here, even the books on the bookshelves outside would be covered in dust."
Roya said shamelessly.
Although the young Erza felt something was a little strange, she couldn't find anything wrong after thinking about it carefully.
However, despite this, President Makarov's kindness still made her a little hesitant.
Seeing that Erza's persistence began to loosen, Roya grabbed her uneasy little hand, stared straight into Erza's clear eyes, and continued to seduce.
"Besides, I let you in because I trust you and treat you as my companion. If you tell anyone and lose this secret base, I will be very sad."
"As long as you don't tell anyone else, I will tell you how to enter the Room of Requirement. In this way, this place will be our secret base."
"A secret base for the two of us."
Erza's heart skipped a beat, and she repeated the last words she had said to Loya.
It is undeniable that she was really moved this time.
Every child wants to have a secret base, their own world and space.
This is true for both boys and girls.
Especially after experiencing the dark world and the death of Grandpa Rob, Erza's heart gradually became closed, and she naturally longed to have such a secret base.
At the same time, seeing Loya holding her little hand and staring at her.
She blushed and lowered her head and nodded gently, not noticing the smile of success at the corner of Loya's mouth in addition to his excitement.
"Great, from today on, the two of us are companions.
Erza blushed even more when she heard this, but she also asked curiously.
"Weren't we companions from the beginning?"
In theory, the two of them have been companions since Erza joined the guild.
"No, it's different."
Loya shook his head, denying Erza's words, staring into her eyes, and said seriously
"Now we are close companions, we share secrets with each other, we can help each other in times of danger, and we can communicate without reservation. This is what true companions are."
"A true companion?"
Erza's eyes suddenly lit up, and there was more desire in her timid eyes.
"Can we really do this?"
""Yeah, sure."
Loya nodded seriously.
Then, regardless of Erza's opinion, he took Erza to play in the Room of Requirement and experience different magic devices.
But this was not what made Erza the happiest. What really made her happy was that Loya gave her a shiny crescent pendant as a testimony of friendship.
This was the first time she had received a gift from someone else since she was a child, except for the books given by Grandpa Rob.
Throughout the whole day, the smile on Erza's face had never disappeared.
This was the happiest time for her. It was not until it was late, and after being reminded by Loya, she reluctantly left the 'Room of Requirement' and returned to the original underground library. It was at this time that she suddenly remembered that she came to Loya for something.
"Wait, the magic thing……"
However, before she could say"play", she was interrupted by Loya.
"Don’t worry, it’s not too late to teach you tomorrow. I will stay here waiting for you anyway. We are good partners, aren’t we?"
"Um……"
The simple-minded Erza naturally couldn't resist Loya's sweet talk.
After a few words, both her actions and her voice completely followed Loya's words.
After playing for a while, Erza also returned upstairs. Under the arrangement of Makarov, she moved into the girls' dormitory and was taken to a room by the dormitory supervisor, Grandma Hilda.
Lying on the soft bed, Erza felt that this day was like a dream.
Joining the Wizard Guild, meeting many companions, and meeting Loya, a big boy who is completely different from others, and having a secret with him.
Thinking of Loya's smile and the various magical things in the"Room of Requirement",
Erza couldn't help looking forward to tomorrow.
