Fairy Tail: I'm Not the Most Terrifying Mage

"..." Yefried put down her cup and said, "Dove, go home!"

"Oh, sorry." Kana pulled Ikaruga's hand and said, "I plan to team up with Ikaruga, so I'll borrow your Ikaruga for two weeks."

Yefried was speechless.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Yefried," said Izayoi somewhat apologetically.

"..." Yefrit lowered her head, enduring Mirajane's strange gaze, and slunk away.

Miko asked, "Is your plan really going to work?"

“No problem.” After leaving the guild and getting into the carriage, Yefrit finally looked up: “Easy.”

"Why should we help Elfman?" Miko asked curiously.

“If it were just a matter of mutual consent, that would be fine, but Elfman is a proud man, and three hundred dollars a week is a bit too much,” Yefrit said. “Abba Green is also proud, and love may not be able to withstand long-term grievances. Once the honeymoon period of the relationship is over, and Elfman feels wronged, the relationship will be difficult to maintain.”

Chapter 154, Laxus's Shock

Although Elfman was very apprehensive, he ultimately believed Yeffert.

Moreover, after calming down and thinking it over carefully, he still firmly believed that Abba Grin's love for him was definitely not just because he was easy to bully. If Abba Grin truly loved him, she would be angry, but she would definitely not truly leave him.

If this is truly the reason why Abba Greene completely rejects the relationship and resolutely breaks up with him, then this is the reason.

perhaps

Elfman reflected on these days, and although they were sweet, he was indeed somewhat unwilling.

He strives to become a stronger man, constantly suppressing his personality.

Abba Greene was certainly very good to him, but he felt he had given more than she had given.

Yefried was right. After calming down, he felt that this inequality could not continue!

first step.

Go find her.

Abba Green's personality would definitely give him a good scolding!

The outcome was as he had predicted.

He went to see Abbagrin while she was still angry, but Abbagrin simply shut the door to him and ignored him completely.

Elfman then fell silent and stood at the door for a long time.

Abba Greene sat in the living room, picked up a book but couldn't concentrate on reading, glancing out the door every now and then. Elfman stood there silently.

Abba Greene's heart suddenly clenched; she wanted to go out, but she couldn't let go of her pride.

She had just yelled at Elfman, so how could she possibly lower herself to invite him inside?

In the evening.

Elfman took a deep breath.

He desperately didn't want Jefried to be right, but

He turned and left.

"El." Seeing this, Abageline panicked and instinctively stood up, but after calling out two words, she swallowed them back and sat down heavily again.

"Idiot, didn't you know you should have just barged in? You're so big, couldn't you have done it yourself?"

Abba Greene couldn't continue.

She had read some novels before, and in the plot, when the female lead was angry, the male lead would treat her forcefully, and then the two would make up and even take things further—usually in these situations, the female lead would be forcibly kissed or something, and at first she would grab the other person's back hard and slap him, and finally she would give up and hug him.

But clearly, Elfman was an honest man, and he wouldn't have thought of such a method.

Elfman walked home in a somewhat dejected mood.

“Elfman,” Laxus called out to him.

Elfman looked over and was immediately stunned. He couldn't quite tell who Lisanna's brother was.

Laxus and Lisanna were eating in the store when Lisanna rolled up the long bag containing straws, blew it out, and hit Laxus in the face.

Laxus, such a proud person, completely ignored this—he had become numb to it.

From Lisanna as a child to Emily, and then to the grown-up Lisanna, Laxus couldn't understand why they dared to "take advantage of her" even though he had acted so fiercely. But if he was angry, it didn't seem like he was really angry—he felt more helpless and numb.

Lisanna took a sip of her milk tea and said, "Brother Elfman, don't worry. Sister Abba Grin really, really likes you. She always tells Lucy and the others how wonderful you are, and that you're the kind of man they should find. Natsu, Gray, and the like won't do—"

Lisanna listed them off: "Laxus is too proud, it's hard to feel sweetness when you're with him."

Laxus: "."

"Natsu is too impulsive. Look how hard Lucy is working."

"Gray is a bit arrogant, but he'll be very happy after you win him over. Juvia needs to keep working hard. The early stages are difficult, but it will be easier after you win him over."

"Yefflit, a Virgo, has a particularly troublesome personality! A perfectionist and lazy, he's always talking about the right time and the right place, but there's never such a right time and place. If he waits like this, he'll be single forever. Laziness is his biggest flaw. Because Mila is being nice to him for no reason, he thinks maintaining the status quo is fine, so he stays in his comfort zone and is too lazy to take a step forward."

"Abba Green said: Who wants to have a platonic relationship with him? Love is love, it should be passionate and fiery. If you don't hold hands, kiss, or enjoy the perks of being a girl, you're just wasting the best years of a girl's youth and her most beautiful body!"

Elfman: "."

He wanted to complain a bit: Lisanna, do you girls usually talk about these things? He and Yefrit and the others only talked about robots, fishing, pinball competitions, spinning top competitions, and whether a high ponytail or a low ponytail was better.

After all that Aubameyang said, why did she only let him hold her hand?

Laxus looked at Lisanna, his expression equally speechless.

Lisanna seems to know a lot. Is he no longer suitable to treat her as a simple younger sister?

Laxus had always had the misconception that Lisanna was still young and naive, but now, listening to Lisanna's "wild and daring words," he realized that this little girl he thought was still young was actually already discussing love and men with girls like Abrams and Lucy.

Thinking about it carefully, I realize I'm not young anymore; I'm 17.

and many more!

Lisanna is the same age as Lucy!

They've been together all the time, but Laxus only just realized it now!

He looked at Lisanna with a different perspective for the first time.

At that moment, the illusion of that annoying little white-haired girl in his mind disappeared. Sitting in front of him was a girl with a less-than-ideal posture, leaning on the table, pressing her chest fat onto the table surface—slightly deformed.

She fiddled with the straw in her hand, her pink lips talking about dating and men, her face full of ease, like a master of romance—no, more like Yefried, who had zero experience but still looked confident.

“Brother Laxus.” Lisanna suddenly turned to look at Laxus, smiling slightly as she rested her chin on her hand and smiled faintly.

At that moment, Laxus suddenly saw a different kind of charm in her.

Lisanna said with a smile, "Abba Green and the others' analysis makes a lot of sense, so you'd better change your bad personality traits, that way girls will be more likely to come near you."

"Hmph." Laxus snorted and said, "I don't need to change anything; girls will still come close to me."

Do you need to change him before girls will like him?

To Laxus, this sounded like: You have to be subservient to even get a relationship.

Haha, it's easy for him to fall in love; he just needs to nod, and a ton of women will flock to him.

Although I don't want to admit it, Yefrit is one of them, so Lisanna and the others were wrong!

"Sigh," Lisanna sighed, and stomped hard on Laxus's foot.

After the brief interlude, Lisanna turned to Elfman and said, "But as for you, Abbagrien said you are her top choice."

"So, if it's just a few conflicts, there's no need to be afraid."

"Sister Abba Green cares about you more than you think. But don't be fooled by how eloquently she speaks; it's actually her first time in a relationship, and she's finding it hard to gauge the right balance."

Elfman remained silent, feeling slightly relieved.

“It must be Yefried who’s causing trouble,” Lisanna said.

“Hmm.” Elfman nodded.

"My advice is that it's true that Yefrit is very smart, but don't completely listen to the advice of an outsider. After all, you are his senior when it comes to dating. He has never even held a girl's hand."

"but--"

Lisanna added, "I'm quite optimistic about your plan."

“Although Abba Greene and I have a good relationship,” Lisanna said, frowning slightly, “you are, after all, my brother. I don’t want to see you always worrying about trivial things. Dating shouldn’t be too tiring.”

“Hmm.” Elfman nodded, then realized something: “Wait, you know about our plan? That Yefrit guy told you?!”

This plan was communicated to him telepathically, and only the two of them knew about it. Since he didn't say it, it must have been Yefrit who told him.

"Come on," Lisanna said with a sneer. "Only Abba Green is blinded by her own involvement. We bystanders have seen through your little tricks long ago!"

"???" Laxus looked at Lisanna. He was also an observer, so how come he couldn't see it?

Seeing Laxus's expression, Lisanna laughed and said, "We're referring to us girls, not the idiots in the guild. From you to Yefrit to Natsu and Gray, they're all blind fools."

Laxus: "."

Lisanna got back to the point: "Let me tell you, but don't tell anyone, Bisca is actually a better theoretical expert than Abbagrim, but in practice..."

Bisca and Elzak in the guild are a couple who like each other but don't confess their feelings.

In private, at the girls' tea parties, Levy shares all sorts of romantic musings, only to be repeatedly and harshly rebuked by Bisca and Abba Grin.

Abba Green said: The most important thing is to have good taste. Finding a man is like picking fruit. A big appearance doesn't necessarily mean it tastes good. If it doesn't taste good, just change to another one! The key is to try it first!

But in reality, Abbey Green clearly wanted to take things further with Elfman, yet she always maintained an arrogant demeanor. Elfman, being an honest man, wouldn't understand if you just said it directly.

Bisca said: Astrological theories and love theories are all for deceiving young girls. Real love should be about long-term companionship and mutual commitment. Confessing your love is a victory flag, not a battle cry.

But in reality, Bisca missed Valentine's Day year after year.

So... they're all just a bunch of theoretical gurus!

The defining characteristic of theoretical masters is that they speak eloquently about others, but become clueless when it comes to themselves.

Abba Greene is like that.

Privately, he praised Elfman a lot, complimenting his personality and physique, and even boasted that his pectoral muscles made him feel safe, but in reality, he never leaned on them.

Elfman and Laxus remained silent, feeling as if their understanding of Lisanna and the others had been refreshed.
