Fairy Tail: I'm Not the Most Terrifying Mage

“You lost.” Laxus raised his wrist and pulled up a strangely shaped fish weighing eight or nine pounds.

“That’s not right,” Yefrit said, looking at his still float. He then pulled out the instruction manual that Harpy had given him.

"Stop researching, Brother Yefrit, let's hurry up and do the quest together!" Lisanna pounced on him.

“That’s not scientific!” Yefrit exclaimed.

"What is science?"

"Um, this is a magical world."

"But this isn't magic!"

“Alright—” Lisanna said, “Go and watch the fishing rod.”

After saying that, Lisanna transformed back into a mermaid and began to sing.

This time, I could actually hear it.

"La~"

A very sweet and pleasant voice.

"Does it mean to summon fish?" Yefrit asked.

Miko said, "No, it's just singing."

"No magic was used?!"

"The mermaid's song can naturally gather schools of fish."

Soon, a large number of fish approached.

Yevlit was extremely excited.

His fishing rod was full of big fish, all weighing at least four pounds!

"Come on up quickly!" Yefrit whispered, afraid of disturbing the fish.

but

'Snapped'

Laxus caught another one.

Three seconds later.

'Snapped'

Three seconds later.

'Snapped'

"Get out!" Yefrit turned around and kicked over Laxus's fish basket.

Two red "well" characters appeared on Laxus's forehead.

"Why aren't you up yet!" Yefrit said.

“This isn’t right,” Lisanna said, pointing a finger at the water’s surface.

A fish bit her finger and pulled her up – it weighed about seven or eight pounds.

The three people present fell silent.

"Brother Yefrit," Lisanna said cautiously, looking at Yefrit.

"..." Yefrit silently put away his fishing gear, then patted Lisanna's head and said with a gentle smile, "Brother is going to a faraway place, don't miss him."

As he spoke, he was about to jump into the river.

"No, Brother Yefrit!" Lisanna quickly hugged Yefrit.

"Let them go! I'm going to question them about why they didn't take the bait!" Yefrit shouted.

"Don't do anything foolish!" Lisanna cried out anxiously to Laxus, "Brother Laxus, come quick, I can't control myself!"

"Boring." Laxus packed up his fishing gear and said, "If you're going to do a quest, hurry up. If you're going to jump into the river, hurry up and jump."

"..." Yefrit suddenly fell silent. He silently untied Lisanna's fingers, walked to Laxus's side, and suddenly shouted, "We'll die together!"

'Snapped'

Upon hearing this, Laxus's forehead displayed three red grid lines, and he immediately executed an over-the-shoulder throw.

"..." Yefrit looked at the sky, her face filled with a look of utter despair.

"Alright, Brother Yefrit, let's not waste any more time. Besides, I'm not just making money for myself, I'm also making money to buy Mira a birthday present."

Yefrit sat up and said, "Let's go."

Two commissions.

Lisanna took one herself.

Then Laxus received another S-class.

Class B Commission

Searching for the missing kitten.

The client is Edilan.

"The Transcendent?" The three were somewhat surprised when they saw a standing yellow female cat.

"Mr. Yefrit, Mr. Laxus, it's so great that you accepted the mission, waaaaah!" The mother cat Edilan kept crying, her eyes were red from crying.

As a transcendent being, one naturally knows some very powerful figures from the Edolas War.

After arriving in this world, I learned just how powerful Laxus, an S-class mage, and Yefrit were.

"What happened?" Yefried asked.

“My son Speed ​​has gone missing,” Edilan said, crying as he recounted what had happened.

Speed ​​is a very adventurous cat.

I've always wanted to take risks and prove myself.

Three days ago, he received some news—

To the east of Alarca Town, many magical beasts have appeared and are constantly harassing the village. The nearby mage guilds find this troublesome because they can't kill all the magical beasts, so they are eager to know what kind of changes have occurred in the forest.

Upon hearing this, Speed ​​ignored Edellan's objections and went to the forest, after which he disappeared without a trace.

"What a coincidence." Laxus looked at the other commission in his hand.

S-level commission—

Investigate the monster incident in the forest east of Alaka Town and resolve it.

Commission fee – 500 million J.

The two requests just happened to come together.

“Alright,” Yefrit comforted Edilan, then assured him, “Don’t worry, we’ll do our best.”

He didn't make any guarantees. In a forest teeming with magical beasts, if there was truly malice involved, Spide's chances of survival weren't very high.

“Hmm.” Edilan nodded, then said with some guilt, “I’m sorry, I don’t have that much money to upgrade to an S-rank mission.”

This is actually a big taboo.

Since the two commissions are clearly for the same task, the difficulty level should be classified as S.

Setting it to Rank B is misleading. If a mage overestimates their abilities and forcibly carries out a commission, it could very well result in someone's death.

Of course, under normal circumstances, mages will refuse if they understand that the request is difficult, but this will have a certain impact on their reputation.

Yefrit and the others didn't mind.

But a stern warning is still necessary.

"Doing this kind of thing will get us ostracized by all the mage guilds, and they'll stop accepting our requests. We'll let it go this time, since we accepted the request anyway, but we absolutely cannot do this kind of thing again!"

Edilan apologized repeatedly.

Treating the two commissions as one, Yefrit and the others set off.

The town of Alaka is not far away.

It only takes half a day's drive to get there.

After speaking with the town mayor, the three headed straight for the forest.

‘Boom boom boom’

Along the way.

Yefrit and Laxus did not participate in the fight; it was Lisanna who was fighting.

Only when she was exhausted did Laxus casually unleash a few bolts of lightning, scorching all the monsters to a crisp.

The three of them were getting closer and closer to the center of the forest.

But it got dark.

We have to stop and rest for now.

Yefrit took out a card, tossed it casually, and a tent appeared.

Dinner was meat.

After eating, the three of them leaned against the fallen tree trunk and looked at the stars.

All three were in the same posture—hands behind their heads, legs crossed, and even in the same direction, with the right leg pressing down on the left.

“Brother Yefrit,” Lisanna suddenly called out.

"Ok?"

Have you thought about the future?

"Sometimes it happens, sometimes it doesn't."

"What do you think about on those occasions?" Lisanna asked curiously.

“Save money, buy a manor, get married, have children, and expand the family,” Yefrit said.
