Fairy Tail: I'm Not the Most Terrifying Mage

“Uh,” Yefrit spread her hands helplessly, “Elfman is such a grown man, it’s only been a day, he might have something going on. You’re making it sound like a child has gone missing.”

“What about Elfman?” Kana said. “He said he was going into the forest. Hasn’t he come back yet?”

She then explained, “Yesterday, I saw him outside the city with Turtledove. He said he had gone to the forest, and I thought he had gone home.”

She said with some concern, "I hope nothing bad has happened."

"Yefflit!!!"

Upon hearing this, Abbagrien glared at Yefrit, wishing she could tear him apart.

At this moment, Erza spoke up, her voice serious: "Yefrit, your pranks have gone a bit too far."

“That’s right.” Lucy nodded as well.

“Yeflit, what terrible idea did you and Elfman come up with? He wouldn’t just disappear on his own,” Cana said.

“Uh,” Yefrit quickly raised her hand and said, “But I really don’t know where he went.”

He explained, “My plan to Elfman was to apologize to Abba Green first. If she didn’t accept it, he would prepare a gift. As for what gift to give, he would have to find out and buy it himself, since I didn’t know Abba Green’s preferences.”

"I only said that, how would I know where he went?"

"Perhaps he went to another city to buy a gift for Abba Greene."

“Oh, right.” Yefrit pushed away Abbagrin’s hand, ran to the side, found a magazine, came back, opened a page, and said, “He said he really wanted you to wear it for him, but it’s a new product, and our remote town hasn’t bought it yet. Maybe he went to Felix Town to buy it.”

on the screen.

These are black stockings that deserve a "thumbs up for the designer" level.

"." Abba Green blushed.

Kana immediately retorted, "Impossible. In that case, he should have gone to the station, not the forest."

Erza jumped up and said, "Go find him!"

"There's no time to lose!" Mirajane said seriously.

Everyone decided to go find Elfman.

"Yefrit, are you really unaware of this?" Erza asked, frowning, as they traveled.

“I really don’t know. I only told him to prepare a gift and, incidentally, to play hard to get so that Abba Greene would realize that she should care about Elfman’s feelings,” Yefrit explained. “As for why he went to the forest to look for the gift, I really have no idea.”

“That would be best,” Erza said.

At this moment, Mirajane and Lisanna approached and grabbed him from both sides, then pinched his waist with both hands at the same time.

"hiss--"

Yefrit trembled.

“Tell me, Brother Yefrit, I don’t believe that even one percent of this was Elfman’s idea!” Lisanna said.

“Yeffrit, don’t make a big deal out of this,” Mirajane said with a smile.

Faced with the combined pressure of the two women, Yefrit surrendered: "Alright, alright, you know about 'Green Crystal Bugs', right?"

"It's a very rare magical beast, like a firefly, but it can be fed for a long time. It's very popular with young ladies and noblewomen, and it's very expensive because it's difficult to capture. There are powerful magical beasts guarding its habitat. On a commission, it can be priced at least 500,000 J, and the market price is at least 800,000 J," Lisanna said.

“Yes, it’s a very expensive luxury item,” Yefrit explained. “Not long ago, I saw in the newspaper that a caravan was passing through the next town when their captured Green Crystal Insects were robbed. The dark mages took most of them, leaving behind a few. If those Green Crystal Insects that flew away are looking for a habitat nearby, then the only place they can find is deep in this forest between the two towns.”

“So, Brother Elfman went to find the Green Crystal Bugs,” Lisanna said.

“Abba Grin calls herself a fairy and likes things related to fairies. When the Green Crystal Insect flies, it leaves behind photon afterimages, just like a fairy flying by,” Yefrit said. “Elfman thinks this gift is the most suitable.”

“However,” Lisanna said, “the Green Crystal Insects are all protected by magical beasts, aren’t they?”

Yefrit explained, "Green Crystal Insects are intelligent magical beasts. They are not ordinary insects. So, although their physical bodies are not strong, they can control powerful magical beasts to protect them."

"Can Elfman beat him?" Lisanna asked, a little worried.

“Don’t underestimate Elfman,” Yefrit said. “Besides, there are only a few Green Crystal Bugs left. What powerful magical beasts can they control? Moreover, there aren’t many powerful magical beasts in the forest. If there were, Natsu and the others would have used them as training punching bags long ago.”

Chapter 157, Mirajane: Isn't this the perfect place and time yet?

Reassured by Yefrit's explanation, the two left, and Lisanna departed.

Mirajane remained by Yefrit's side, looking at Yefrit's profile, and said, "It's not just that, is it, Yefrit?"

“Uh…” Yefrit was taken aback.

"What other purpose could you have?" Mirajane asked with an expression that seemed to say, "I know you too well."

“Ahem.” Yefrit coughed twice and said, “There’s nothing there.”

"You seem very guilty."

"."

“However,” Mirajane smiled, “I believe you.”

"..." Yefrit looked at the girl beside him, the wind blowing through her long hair, carrying a fragrance towards him.

“Yeflit,” Miko suddenly said.

"how?"

"Kiss her."

You are not allowed to say a word all day!

"."

it's dark.

They searched in the forest.

"Elfman, where have you been?" Abba Greene was getting more and more anxious.

Without realizing it, she gradually drifted away from the group.

She suddenly came to her senses and realized that she was all alone.

She wasn't afraid; she wasn't an ordinary girl, after all, she was a powerful mage with a reputation in the guild.

“Idiot.” Abba Green clenched her fists, saying with a mix of complaint and worry, “Who apologizes to someone when they’re angry? Besides, I’m not unreasonable. Just buy me a little gift to appease me.”

“But you control Elfman’s money, where does he get the money to buy you gifts?” Abba Green’s inner voice echoed at this moment.

"I," Abba Greene was momentarily speechless, caught off guard by her own words. She explained, "I was just worried that Elfman would waste money."

Her inner thoughts: "But Elfman was your companion for many years before you were together. Don't you know him?"

I, Abba Green, was speechless.

Her inner thoughts: "You really enjoy being like a queen because only Elfman can completely indulge your whims. Also, you're doing it to enjoy the envious looks from Lucy and the others. But are Lucy and the others really envious of you and Elfman together? At least Lucy wouldn't act like that towards Natsu, would she?"

"..." Abba Greene: "Don't bother me anymore, finding Elfman is the priority now!"

"What good will it do after I find him?" The inner voice wonders: "Will things change? Would you change your personality for Elfman?"

Her inner thoughts: "You often read magazines, and they say that when two people are together, they always need to adjust to each other and change themselves. But when you two are together, you haven't changed at all. It's always Elfman who is changing and conforming to you."

Her inner thoughts: "And don't forget, in the beginning, you were the one who fell for Elfman first, wanted to pursue him, and then tricked him into pursuing you. Elfman is a fool, but you shouldn't forget these things."

Abba Greene said angrily, "Stop thinking about these things! Finding Elfman is the priority!"

My inner voice says: "I am your subconscious thought. You know the answer perfectly well."

Her inner thoughts: "Should you find Elfman and apologize to him? That would be very difficult for you."

Abba Greene: "."

A thought in my mind: "Will something happen to Elfman?"

Abba Greene: "No way!"

Her inner voice thought: "But... what if that was the last time we saw each other?"

Abba Green: "Elfman is strong, nothing will happen!"

Her inner thoughts: "Just like Lisanna did back then, everyone will have this kind of resolve when they become a mage."

"Shut up!!!" Abba Green punched a tree trunk next to her, and blood flowed from the back of her hand.

She shook her head vigorously, suppressing all sorts of thoughts in her mind: "Finding Elfman is the most important thing; everything else is secondary!"

‘Boom boom boom’

Just then, she heard the sounds of battle coming from ahead. Her heart tightened, and she quickly ran over.

It was Elfman, who was surrounded by several magical beasts and was in a very sorry state.

"..." Abba Green took a step forward, opened her mouth, and excitedly tried to call out Elfman's name.

but

The inner voice: "If you take the initiative to get closer, you've already lost."

Abba Greene: "."

Three seconds later.

"There's no such thing as winning or losing in love!" Abba Greene shouted. "I want to be with Elfman right now!"

"Elfman!" she shouted, rushing toward Elfman.

“Abba Grin?” Elfman turned around in disbelief.

"Idiot, watch out!" Abba Green exclaimed in alarm.

In the heat of battle, Elfman couldn't afford to be distracted and was slapped away by a monster.

Abba Greene's eyes widened in fury: "Bastard!"

She unleashed magic, and a massive explosion of scales temporarily halted the monster's attack. Wings sprouted from her back, and she flew toward Elfman.

"Cough cough." Elfman crawled awkwardly out of the bushes.

"Hehe." He looked at Abba Green's worried expression and laughed heartily.

“You idiot.” Abba Greene raised her hand and slapped Elfman hard on the shoulder, then reached out and pulled Elfman up.

“Abba Greene, I’m sorry, I…” Elfman tried to explain.
