Fairy Tail: I'm Not the Most Terrifying Mage

"Women's power!" Erza perked up immediately upon hearing this.

Erza, who is always treated as a close buddy by the boys and often unaware of it herself, actually has a bit of a girlish tenderness, albeit very little.

Just like her desire to wear a wedding dress, this kind of thing always touches the softest spot in her heart.

Wendy said, "Miss Juvia is very capable, so there's no need to worry."

After all, Juvia is one of the most love-obsessed people in the guild. For Gray, she has been constantly evolving, especially by maxing out various skills that showcase a woman's strength—cooking, cleaning, sewing, handicrafts, etc. She is a master of all these skills, making her an existence that most girls can only dream of.

"Huh? Really?" Juvia immediately felt embarrassed.

“And what about me, Wendy?” Erza asked quickly.

"Miss Erza is quite nice too." Wendy didn't dare to say that Erza's feminine charm was clearly lacking.

after all

Women's tea party.

Even she and Emily could sit at the table and chat.

Only Erza—or, to put it mildly, she had a particular fondness for the pastries on the table.

“However,” Juvia said, “I really don’t know what to send to Lord Gray.”

As she pondered this, her thoughts drifted off course.

Then Wendy and Charlotte looked at Juvia, somewhat speechless, as she suddenly burst into a silly laugh: "Oh dear, Lord Grey wants children as a gift? No problem, because it's Lord Grey, we'll have ten or eight children for him, hehehe."

Clearly, Juvia is delusional about going berserk.

Erza said with a serious expression, "I don't recommend giving the child to Gray. I'm worried that he might not be ready to be a father right now. We should find someone else."

She thought for a moment and gave an example: "How about armor?"

"Grey will take it off in a second, right?" Charlotte complained.

Juvia snapped out of her daze and said, "Yes, Lord Gray certainly won't get used to it."

She actually felt that Erza wasn't very reliable in this regard, and preferred to ask the younger Wendy.

Wendy isn't actually that young anymore. Although she looks petite, she's the same age Lucy and Juvia were when they joined Fairy Tail.

“Wendy, what do you think?” Juvia asked.

Wendy thought for a moment and said, "Some sentimental, matching necklaces, rings, or something?"

“Lord Gray always wears a necklace,” Juvia said. “Wouldn’t giving him one be a nuisance?”

Grey always wore a necklace, which Juvia guessed must have been very important to him.

If she were to give him another necklace, Grey would have to choose between the two, and she didn't want Grey to be troubled by that.

"A ring...that's something I could consider." Juvia suddenly started daydreaming again, muttering to herself, "Lord Gray, this is a ring Juvia gave you. Wait, it's not an engagement ring, but if Lord Gray wants one, Juvia will go buy one right away."

Erza and Wendy both laughed as Juvia tried to go berserk, without stopping her.

I've long been used to it.

In the guild, it's not just the boys who have their own flaws.

The same applies to girls.

From a guy's perspective, some of his behaviors might make him seem like an idiot.

For example, Natsu getting carsick, Gray taking off his clothes, and Yefrit being stubborn.

But looking at these behaviors from a girl's perspective—

Anyway—

Lucy thought that Natsu's motion sickness, although a bit troublesome, was still quite cute—at this time, Natsu was not as tough as usual, nor did he do any stupid things. Instead, he was soft and weak, which really touched Lucy's heart.

Although Juvia always rushed to grab Gray's clothes when he took them off, she actually thought Gray looked cool when he took his clothes off; she just didn't want more people to see this side of Gray.

As for Yefrit's stubbornness, not only Mirajane but even Erza just laughed it off. Erza, who is always serious, never tried to teach Yefrit to be honest—you know, Erza has even been working hard to make Natsu and Gray be so affectionate.

And for girls, it's hard to understand from their perspective, but for boys, it hits the spot for their fantasies.

Gray is the most secretive guy, unknown to most, but the observant Yefrit knows it.

Every time Juvia tries to go berserk, Gray can't help but smirk—even though he pretends to be indifferent or even impatient, he's actually secretly overjoyed.

Juvia's delusional rampage actually hits Gray's sweet spot.

Chapter 262, The Girls' Plans

Are you bringing a gift?

As Juvia led the guild girls around asking questions, they were all intrigued.

"How about I send something to Gajeel too?" Levy suggested.

“Gajeel seems to really like singing, how about we get him a new guitar? A really cool one, like the one I saw in a magazine recently.” Erza hadn’t finished speaking when Levy interrupted her: “No way! If we give that guy a guitar, wouldn’t that be encouraging him to ‘write songs’? I don’t want to listen to his songs all the time.”

"That's true." Everyone nodded. Gajeel, such a clueless guy, sings like he's scraping iron.

"What about Natsu's bracers?" Lucy asked.

"It feels okay."

“Then I’ll give you a wristband too,” Levy said.

The girls were discussing the matter enthusiastically.

In the guild.

"Huh?" Macao asked in confusion, "It feels like there are fewer people today."

“Yes, there’s a strong sense of unease.” Wakaba nodded.

“Because Lucy and the others aren’t here today,” Romeo said.

"Yes!"

The men in the guild only then realized that there wasn't a single girl in the guild today!

Emily and the others spend most of their time outside the guild, because there are always people waiting to be rescued. So they lead busy and fulfilling lives. Unless there is something important to do, they are always on the road.

"It's strange that neither Kana nor Bisca are here," the group discussed.

Today, Asuka went to school, while Alzac sat alone in the guild.

This couple, who were always together, are now unusually separated.

Because Bisca also joined Juvia and the others in their discussion.

Kana didn't join in. Although she had a relationship, it wasn't true love, and she had no interest in going to great lengths to give gifts. At that moment, Kana was enjoying a drink at a pub in town that was having a sale.

"Where have they gone?"

"Something feels off."

"Yeflit, do you know?"

As soon as Yefrit stepped into the guild, she was asked questions by everyone.

He waved the shopping bag in his hand and said, "I don't know either. Just now, the dove received a letter and left in a hurry after breakfast."

Yefrit sat down next to Natsu, opened the shopping bag, and inside was a cake.

Natsu is playing chess with Stinger, while Rogue and Gajeel are nearby.

These two are highly competitive. Although they idolize Natsu and Gajeel, they always want to surpass them.

But since I can't win a fight right now, I'm thinking of winning in other ways—like playing chess.

Guild Chess is a popular board game among mages. The main content is a battle between two mage guilds. Each guild has a guild leader, S-rank mages, A-rank mages, and other pieces. There are counter relationships between the pieces. The player who moves their pieces to the square representing the opponent's "guild" wins.

At this moment, the four of them were sweating profusely.

While having dessert after her meal, Yefrit observed the situation—Natsu and Gajeel were going to lose. After all, under normal circumstances, Stinger and Rogue had higher intelligence points—but in battle, the situation would reverse, and the difference would be enormous.

“Yeflit, don’t you care?” Elfman walked over and said.

“What’s there to worry about?” Yefrit waved her hand and said, “It’s not like it’s anything dangerous, maybe just a big tea party or something.”

“Even Abba Green went.” Elfman frowned. “I was supposed to be taking care of my health recently.”

“Abbagraine isn’t a weak girl, and she’s only just gotten pregnant; she’s not even showing yet. Mira and Erza are with her now; they know better than you how to take care of Abbagraine. What are you worried about?” Yefrit said without turning her head.

“Okay,” Elfman muttered, “I happen to have some time. I haven’t watched a pinball tournament in ages. Do you want to go?”

“No, none of my favorite players are playing today,” Yevlit said.

“Okay.” Elfman turned and left.

"Wait, Elfman, let's go together." Someone followed.

"The pinball tournament?" Gray said. "This year, Jerry is basically guaranteed to win the championship."

“You support Jerry?” Natsu asked, looking up.

“What, is that not allowed?” Gray asked.

“Jerris is definitely going to lose to Tom,” Natsu said.

"Huh? That young guy has only participated in two competitions, and he was eliminated in the top 16 last time. You actually think highly of him?" Gray found it ridiculous.

“That’s right, Natsu, if you invest in him, you’re going to be in big trouble,” Gajeel said. “His next opponent is the triple champion Sens.”

“Sens, ha. That was a long time ago.” Laxus on the second floor sneered, “Now, Death is the favorite to win the championship.”

“Death? A kid who just came of age, he’s only shown a little bit of brilliance. Laxus, even if you want to bet on a dark horse, you don’t need to pick such a dark horse, do you?” Gajeel said.

"what?"

"hold head high?"

As they talked, their tempers flared.

'Snapped--'

When Guild Master Makarov, who had just entered the guild, saw this scene, he couldn't help but slap his forehead.

These guys are all grown up, yet they're arguing and fighting over a pinball tournament held by a toy store. Even Laxus and Yevlito are involved.
