Fairy Tail: I'm Not the Most Terrifying Mage

"Tiffany is proud and arrogant. She never thought about becoming a member of the Valiel family. She is probably content with maintaining a relationship with you that is superficially hostile but mutually supportive."

“Sidrina will not give up the throne, and Anita does not like you as a woman, so all they ask for is to be able to see you occasionally.”

“You saved Urudia, but she still has to atone for the mistakes she made. She doesn’t want to implicate anyone, including you.”

“Melty likes you very much, but she won’t leave Urutia.”

"Alice's demands are similar to those of the dove, but she is not as honest as the dove, so I need to give her a warning, but also give her a chance."

“Actually, if you think about it carefully—” Mirajane said, “once you realize your wish and build a huge Valiel estate, who will be living there?”

"It's just me and two maids, and all the time—even if there are many beds in the manor, you will share my bed."

"The thought that all of this is mine alone is so gratifying."

"I felt very satisfied... and then... felt very sorry for them."

“It’s strange, isn’t it?” Mirajane laughed. “That’s what I actually thought.”

“Mira.” Yefrit was moved.

Mirajane said with some emotion, "How could I be so heartless?"

"Their lifelong happiness is entirely up to me."

"I also considered resolutely resisting them."

"But every time I see Izayoi's ingratiating smile, Ultear's envious gaze, Melty's forlorn look, and that night... Sidrina's desperate scream..."

"I also remember how Tiffany almost gave her life for you several times, especially during the time with the Roya organization, she risked her life to save me. But what does Tiffany ask for? She only asks that I allow her to bicker and argue with you in the future."

"As a woman, I really shouldn't forgive them, including you."

"Can"

Mirajane sighed, "How could I bear to do that?"

“I’m sorry, Mira,” Yefrit apologized.

“Of course you’re wrong,” Mirajane said. “But you saved Turtledove’s life; you knew Tiffany first, I came later; you saved Ultear and Melty; you helped Sidrina realize her life’s value.”

“Even if—” Mirajane sighed, “I already knew everything that would happen when we first met.”

“I will still let you do it.”

“I don’t know if I should have this mindset,” Mirajane said firmly, “but I don’t regret it.”

"With a wife like this, what more could a husband ask for?" Yefrit sighed and pulled Mirajane into her arms.

Mirajane's generosity and gentleness are astonishing.

Then he

They pressed on again.

What else is there to say?

Speechless, all emotions—moved, ashamed, amazed, joyful, heartbroken, and so on—ultimately transformed into a passionate embrace.

Mirajane, having reciprocated Jefrit's fervor, gently pushed him away and said, "There's no need to overthink it. Just let things take their course, follow your heart, it's fine. Or rather, if you think I've been wronged, that's underestimating me, misunderstanding me. I don't need you to think that way, it will only hurt me."

"Ah."

“However—” Mirajane’s tone suddenly turned serious: “You are not allowed to touch the dove before me. If you really can’t, let Miko help you.”

Now that she has agreed to Yefrit's request, Yefrit's psychological defenses will naturally be lowered.

The doves have now gotten to the point where they can help Yefrite change clothes, bathe, and scrub her back.

Just imagine the figure of the Ikaruga. Wearing a thin yukata and then getting wet.

It would be strange if a man could resist.

But this kind of thing is strictly prohibited!

Mirajane will not back down on this matter; she is the lady, and the only lady! There is no reason for her to be beaten to it!

"..." Yefrit couldn't hold back any longer and said, "You underestimate me too much."

At this moment

Magical writing appeared in the air.

It was Miko who relayed the message to Mirajane.

"Don't worry, I will take care of it."

This is Miko's recognition of Mirajane.

She has always preferred the dove, and she believes that if Mirajane wins, she will take her place.

But tonight, Mirajane not only moved Yefried, but also moved her.

Miko was completely relieved; Mirajane would never pose a threat to her.

Therefore, she no longer hesitated to communicate with Mirajane.

"You two..." Yefrit was speechless, not knowing what to say.

Mirajane suddenly smiled mischievously and said, "If you really can't resist, then marry me sooner rather than later."

“Okay!” Yevli nodded.

“Now that we’ve finished with the personal matters,” Mirajane said, standing up. “Let’s get back to business.”

Yefried also stood up.

After they talked things out, they both relaxed.

Yefried was especially pleased.

Which man doesn't have... you know... dreams?

But it's just a thought.

He had been a little conflicted for a while.

But now there's no need to worry anymore.

He died from overwork in his previous life, and he doesn't seek immortality in this one. If he's still frustrated by everything and can't enjoy a happy life, then he's wasted his time traveling.

He turned to look at Mirajane and received a response from the other man—a gentle smile and encouraging eyes.

Suddenly, a sense of clarity dawned on my mind.

The two chatted and laughed as they walked to the room where the children were resting.

Yefried used a trick spell, pulling Mirajane into the room and checking her out one by one.

"What are you looking for?" Mirajane asked curiously.

“Find the root cause of the event,” Yevlit replied.

"The main cause?"

“Every action must have a primary, fundamental reason,” Yevlit said, “especially a large-scale one.”

"The reason must lie with these children; it's probably not a group of them, but just a few of them."

"How do you distinguish them?" Mirajane didn't know what Yefrit's basis was.

“Found him, that’s him.” Yefrit pointed to the child who was sleeping the most peacefully.

The other person was frowning, with tears in the corners of their eyes.

"He's the main cause?" Mirajane asked in surprise.

“Most likely.” Yevli nodded, then said, “Alright, we can go back to sleep now. This case can be closed.”

“Hmm.” Mirajane nodded, glanced at the label on the side of the bed, and read, “Eddie.”

the next day.

After everyone washed up and ate, Yevlit asked the dean to gather everyone in the small playground.

Yefritte specially arranged for Eddie, the little boy who cried himself to sleep last night, and Rerom to sit in the first row.

Everyone looked at him curiously, wanting to know if Yefrit, who had seemed so confident that morning, had really found out the truth.

"Enough with the small talk," Yefrit said. "I just have a few questions."

"Ryrom, what time did you see the monster last night?"

Rerom answered confidently, "Before the lights in the hall are turned off."

"Dean, what is the normal time for the lights to be turned off in the lobby?" Yefrit asked.

The dean replied, "In order, it should be around 10:15."

Yefried then asked the children, "Did you see a monster last night?"

“We saw it,” the children answered.

When was that?

The children's answers were all different, but they all conveyed the same message—it was before the lights were turned off.

"And where is the monster headed?" Yefrit asked. "According to what you said yesterday, the monster passed through the hall and then went to the vicinity of the dormitory, right? Was it the same last night?"

“That’s right.” All the children, including Ryrom, nodded.

“Heh.” Yefrit chuckled twice and said, “Someone is lying.”

The children suddenly became a little nervous, and even the usually confident Rerom took a few quick breaths.

“There are many liars,” Yevlit said. “One of them is—”

Everyone held their breath.

“Dean,” Yefrit gave an answer that surprised everyone.

The dean nodded and said, "Last night, the lights were turned off in the dormitories first, followed by the lobby."

As soon as these words came out.

There was silence.
