Fairy Tail: I'm Not the Most Terrifying Mage

"Your life may not have a perfect start, but the start doesn't determine who you are. Your life, your story, is for you to write. It depends on how you write your story and what kind of person you want to become."

Yefried took a sip of her drink and said with emotion, "Yesterday is history, and no one can see the future clearly. The only thing we can truly feel is the present. So, cherish the present."

He put down his cup and smiled, "That's what my father said."

As everyone watched Yefrit reminisce, they couldn't help but sigh: No wonder, despite wielding such powerful yet somewhat evil magic, Yefrit hadn't become a bad person. Aside from playing pranks with his companions, he hadn't done anything outrageous, like peeping at girls bathing. This was all because he had an upright, kind, and wise father.

Perhaps this is what family tradition is all about.

Besides Emily, the girls' beautiful eyes sparkled with admiration. As mothers, we would be very proud if our children could inherit such family traditions!

Emily suddenly asked, "Did Master ever have feelings for Sister Alice?"

A sudden silence fell over the room.

Because when Yevlith was telling the story, he mentioned several times that there was a girl in his class whose family was wealthy. He had tricked her into eating a lot of good food from her to supplement her nutrition.

“No.” Yefrit shook her head firmly.

But the girls looked on with suspicion.

Seeing this, Yefrit could only say, "What kind of looks are you giving me? Do you think I'm that easy to win over?"

“That’s not necessarily true.” Emily shook her head. “Often, it’s the boys who have been hurt by their first love who become harder to win over. For example, they might not believe in love anymore, or they might always compare the girls around them to their first love. These things are completely unfair. Their first love has been gone for so long, and their memories are full of beautiful things. All of these things make boys particularly hard to win over.”

"..." Yefrit was speechless. After thinking for a long time, she could only say, "Don't overthink it. Also, how do you know so much? Are you in a relationship?"

“I’m seventeen!” Emily exclaimed. “Not ten!”

"And it's even written in the magazines."

"So, do you believe the magazine or me?" Yefried countered.

"Trust my eyes!" Emily cupped Yefrit's face, making him face her, and said, "Master, look into my eyes. Before this, have you ever liked any girl?"

"."

After a few seconds of silence.

"No."

"He dodged! He hesitated!" Emily shouted.

“I have thought this through carefully,” Yevlit said.

"How can you think about something like this too deeply? If you do think about it too deeply, you'll definitely be eliminating girls you've ever had feelings for in your mind, and you'll probably be thinking about how to lie," Emily said confidently.

“You didn’t listen to a word I said just now,” Yefrit said helplessly. “I told you, the most important thing is the present moment.”

“Never mind.” Yefrit leaned back against Mirajane’s shoulder and said, “I’m a little carsick, I’ll take a nap first.”

"..." The women: Are you Natsu?

but

Surprisingly, Emily actually yielded an unexpected insight from her question.

Yefried put her hat on.

He truly has a clear conscience.

In the past life

At sixteen or seventeen, in high school, experiencing the first stirrings of love, isn't it perfectly normal to have a crush on a goddess?

At this age in his life, he met Mirajane.

Femina Town.

A small town poorer than Magnolia.

It's a small, unremarkable town with a small population, nothing much to say about it.

The local administration is so-so; it's neither prosperous nor exactly impoverished.

The Yefrit family lived on the edge of town in a detached house with a yard.

When my father was young, he hoped to buy a manor on the other side of town and then revitalize the Valiel family.

Unfortunately, he failed to save any money and lost his wife in middle age.

"Revitalizing the Valiel family is in my hands!" Alice said confidently. "I've heard some old women say that big hips are good for childbearing, and someone like me is especially in demand at Magnolia's matchmaking park! I'm also in good health; having ten or eight children won't be a problem. Don't worry, Mr. Yefried, in twenty years, I will definitely give you a prosperous Valiel family!"

Alice has a straightforward personality.

Urudia and Melti frowned as they listened, but they felt embarrassed to say such things and couldn't bring themselves to do so.

“Shut up, Alice,” Emily said.

Alice immediately covered her mouth.

Over the past seven years, Emily, who was initially treated like a pampered young lady, has gradually gained recognition for her strength and abilities, and has become the true leader of this small group.

Emily said, "How could it be your turn? First it's Sister Mirajane, then Sister Dove, then Sister Tiffany, and by the time it's your turn, there will be ten or eight of them. Aren't you afraid of exhausting my master?"

What kind of talk about tigers and wolves?

Yefrit smacked Emily on the head and said, "You're forbidden from discussing this topic from now on."

“Master—” Emily immediately protested, “Don’t treat me like a child! You’ve all been playing emotional games during this time.”

"..." Yefrit suddenly realized: "I understand, you're trying to warn me, you want to have a relationship early, that's why you're emphasizing this so much."

Yefrit suddenly smiled gently: "You know, Emily, I'm a tolerant parent, and it's not incomprehensible for someone her age to have a crush on a boy. Is that boy a mage? Where does he live? What's his last name? How many people are in his family?"

"..." The women: Does this look like you're being tolerant?

Emily pouted and said, "I didn't."

"Don't be shy," Yefrit said with a smile, gently rubbing her little head.

“There shouldn’t be,” Urudia said. “We’ve always been together.”

“Is that so?” Yefrit said. “Then if you have a boyfriend or something, just tell me. I’m very open-minded.”

“If Emily is looking for a boyfriend, her standards must be extremely high,” said Spotted Dove with a smile.

Emily said innocently, "It's not tall, about the same as Master's."

"." The women all thought: "Oh no, we're going to have an old maid in the family."

"It's hard to say about matters of the heart," Mirajane laughed. "Sometimes, perhaps sincerity is enough."

"Yes," everyone nodded.

While talking.

We have already arrived outside the courtyard.

He has not returned for many years.

The area is now overgrown with weeds.

The surrounding neighbors have already moved away.

Yefried reached out and wrote something in the air.

"Mr. Yefried?" Turtledove asked, puzzled. "Why don't you open the door?"

“I destroyed the key the first time I left, and I never use the door when I come back.” Yefrit reached out and slapped the invisible magic circle open.

Then he simply climbed over the wall and entered the courtyard.

The others quickly followed.

Everyone looked at the house with a mixture of curiosity and感慨 (gǎnkǎi, a feeling of mixed emotions, including admiration and reflection).

Thinking back to Yefritte's childhood, she spent a happy childhood here.

“I wonder how cute Master was when he was little,” Emily said.

Yefried pushed up her glasses and laughed, "I was definitely not cute when I was a child."

“No—” Emily said, “It would be so cute to act like a little adult.”

"."

Yefried's surface personality is not difficult to grasp. Everyone can work backward from Yefried now and then construct in their minds the image of a precocious little boy who is trying hard to become a nobleman.

Her hair was neatly combed, she wore a children's suit, and her leather shoes were polished to a shine.

Yefritte ignored them.

After a short rest, we started cleaning.

Everyone naturally came to help, working quickly and efficiently.

Even though the house has been neglected for seven years, there are still many household chores to do.

Thanks to everyone's efforts, the task was completed in just one afternoon.

I made do for the night.

the next day.

Yefried bought flowers and her father's favorite candy.

Francessi used to love drinking. After his wife died, he became an alcoholic for a time. But Yevlith was so drunk that he would faint at the touch of alcohol, so he quit drinking and then developed a strong addiction to sweets.

The Valière family's ancestral home is long gone, and the ancestors' graves have been moved to a cemetery that impoverished nobles pooled together to buy because the descendants could no longer afford the expenses. They are no longer in this city.

Buried here is only Francesca.

The girls didn't bother him.

After cleaning up the surrounding area, Yefried sat in front of the tombstone and talked for a long time.

Then he waved, and the crowd gathered around.

“Father,” Yefrit said, taking Mirajane’s hand, “I will make the Valiel family rise again.”

Chapter 229, Big Demon Fighting Martial Arts

"This doll is quite cute."

Back at the guild, Yefrit saw Lucy holding a blonde doll and said with a smile.
