"Speaking of which, Mila, you really take such good care of Chase! You save breakfast for him every day!"
Watching Chase wolfing down his food, Lucy sidled up to Mira, her words brimming with the excitement of watching the drama unfold.
Just now, because of Harpy's comment about revealing her clothes, she was "praised" and felt very embarrassed.
So, Lucy also wanted to see Mira's blushing, shy face.
Hehe, that would definitely be a lot of fun!
"Well, Chess helped me a lot when we were on the Island of the Demon Ruins."
Miran smiled, tilted her head, and looked at Chess calmly.
She instantly saw through Lucy's wicked intentions.
"Ah, I see—"
Lucy was greatly disappointed by the impeccable answer. She couldn't use any of the witty lines she had prepared, and she sighed regretfully as she leaned over the front desk.
She gave up, but Mira's counterattack followed immediately.
"Lucy, on the other hand, has already introduced Natsu and Gray to her parents so quickly. So, Mr. Judo, did he say which one he prefers?"
The white-haired girl's smile was gentle and kind, yet it seemed to carry an invisible, intense aggression. Hearing this, Lucy immediately tensed, her body stiffening as she looked around. Seeing her companions still discussing how Laxus hadn't noticed them, she hurriedly began to explain:
"Natsu, Natsu, Natsu likes anyone or anything? That's completely untrue! Natsu and Gray went there on their own!"
"Oh, so it's a position like a live-in son-in-law."
Mi stretched out her fingers and placed them on her delicate profile, pretending to analyze seriously, "If you don't clearly have a preference for anyone, it seems Mr. Judo wants you to make your own choice, but I think Natsu should—"
"I'm sorry! I was wrong, Sister Mira!"
The increasingly absurd statements completely broke Lucy down. Her face flushed red, she rushed over and hugged Mira's slender waist tightly, begging her not to continue.
She was well aware of just how quickly Mira's words could spread within the guild.
If those busybodies heard the phrase "live-in son-in-law," they'd be sure to come up with countless versions of it the very next day!
Seeing the wolf-fox crying and begging to be spared, Chase shook his head as he finished his breakfast.
Why would you, a naive and green recruit like yourself, bother with Mira, who has a hidden cunning side?
This is just like Wu Dalang flying a kite – his skills are not very high!
"Although Laxus is indeed annoying, what he just said reminded me."
The rustling sound of the armor as she walked helped Lucy alleviate her "scandal crisis."
"Thinking back, it seems like we've been together a lot lately."
Erza stopped in front of the makeshift bar, turned to Natsu and Gray, and said with a smile, "Natsu,"
"Grey, Happy, and Lucy, let's form a proper team!"
Nazgray: "?"
Lucy: "Huh? What?!"
The onlookers instantly erupted in cheers and exclaimed with delight.
"Huh? You're only realizing this now? I thought you guys had already teamed up!"
"Erza, Natsu, and Gray—they really might become the strongest team in the guild!"
"Remove the possibility, but don't forget, Lucy's unparalleled吐槽 (tu cao, a Chinese internet slang term for sarcastic or witty remarks) is also in it~"
"Haha! That's so true!"
Hearing her friends' comments, Lucy immediately covered her face in embarrassment and twisted her body awkwardly.
"Is it really okay to team up with Erza and you guys? I'm just a newbie with no real skills."
She was a little worried, afraid that she was not capable enough and would hold others back.
"It's not a question of whether it's possible or not, but the team isn't complete without Lucy!" Natsu grinned broadly, showing his big teeth.
"Love!" Happy responded emphatically, indicating his strong agreement.
Upon hearing this, Lucy's pupils contracted slightly; she was deeply moved, and her face flushed slightly.
Chase, who witnessed this scene, smiled and shook his head: Truly a pair of high-EQ, passionate male lead and a clueless female lead.
Across from the bar, the Dark Magician Girl was affectionately linking her arm with Mira's, whispering in the latter's ear, "Hey Mira, I didn't expect Natsu to be so good at flirting!"
"Don't underestimate Natsu!"
Mira smiled and patted the black magic girl's head, her gaze intentionally or unintentionally falling on a certain dead card player.
As they were talking, Natsu and Gray, those two clowns, finally realized each other's presence and began to criticize each other's various faults with great dissatisfaction.
"Do you have any objections?" Erza asked gently and kindly.
The two immediately shut up, burst into laughter, and embraced each other, even more intimately than Alzac and Bisca!
"Actually, I was also thinking of inviting Chase, but it just didn't feel quite right."
Erza's expression was so serious that she didn't seem to be joking.
Everyone: "..———"
Is it really okay to just say what's on my mind like this?!
Your lineup alone is already the strongest; if you add Chase, how are we supposed to survive?
"I'm not really interested in teaming up, Erza."
Chess waved his hand dismissively, "And then there's Nazgre, those two weaklings who could drag us down at any moment."
He prefers to act alone rather than with a fixed team, as he already possesses a large number of card monsters.
Although his main intention was to take this opportunity to criticize Nazgre, what he said was true:
The enemies ahead are getting more and more monstrous. If you want to improve your strength, you can't accept low-level commissions. You have to start at least at the S-rank!
Currently, there are only a handful of people in the entire Fairy Tail guild who can team up with him for quests.
"Damn it, Chase! You can't just ignore that!!" x2
Natsu and Gray, feeling slighted, were determined to fight Chess.
However, neither of them moved, waiting for the other to make the first move.
"It's so good that I wasn't excluded by Chesgo—" Lucy breathed a sigh of relief.
"Love~ Lucy, is it possible that you're so weak that Chase doesn't even bother to call you out?" Happy said, revealing the truth.
"You dead cat! You're no different!!" Lucy said angrily.
The same words mocking their companions' weakness elicited completely different reactions from Laxus when spoken by Chase.
"No, he already said those things to you, how can you tolerate that?"
"A real man proves himself with strength!"
"If Chase said that about me, I'd fight him to the death!"
Instead of bowing their heads in frustration, they started making a ruckus, urging Natsu and Gray to take action.
"Hey, you guys are so mean—"
Cana let out a hiccup, slammed the empty beer barrel on the table, and shouted, "Hey! Nazgray!"
Don't you even have this much courage?!
One should not harbor thoughts of harming others.
What? Natsu and Gray were the victims?
"Then we have no choice but to happily join in." Cana's shout completely crushed Natsu and Gray's last hesitation, and the two proud men shouted and rushed towards Chess.
Then, the scene changes.
The two brothers, their blood boiling with passion, both collapsed to the ground, each with a large bump on their forehead, lying on the muddy ground admiring the bright, sunny sky.
"Hahaha!" The group burst into laughter.
"Ara ara." Mira chuckled softly.
"It was a completely unexpected result," Lucy chuckled to herself.
"I'm talking to you two—" Erza shook her head and sighed.
