Lucy asked curiously, "By the way, I've been seeing you use cards as a medium to pull out all sorts of things, Yefrit."

“Yes, the principle is similar to that of costume-changing magic.” Yevli nodded.

“So this is magic, not sorcery,” Lucy laughed.

“This is magic!” Yefrit said seriously.

Lucy remained silent.

Gray said speechlessly, "This guy is incredibly stubborn when it comes to drinking, fishing, and magic."

“It’s true, Grey!” Yevlit emphasized.

“Yes, yes, yes, that’s true. Deal the cards quickly.” Gray nodded repeatedly.

Yefrit began to show off her fancy shuffling techniques.

This was the first time Lucy had ever seen such a cool shuffling technique, and she was immediately amazed, exclaiming repeatedly.

"That's enough, hurry up and deal the cards." Gray was already used to this.

"Tsk, ruining the mood." Yefrit complained, stopped showing off her skills, and started playing cards seriously.

Yefried's luck was average, but he usually won by playing cards – cheating was pointless, of course.

Just like fishing, you have to rely entirely on your skills to truly be surprised by the catch.

But something unexpected clearly happened today.

After half an hour.

Yefried pulled her hat over her face. "Ah, I'm sleepy!"

"Pfft," Lucy covered her mouth and chuckled softly.

"Lucy, I'm never playing with you again," Happy muttered to himself, facing the wall.

"Oh? I'm sorry, Happy." Lucy quickly apologized.

“Lucy, you idiot.” Happy’s voice was trembling with a hint of a sob.

"..." Gray looked at the cards in his hand, then at the cards Yefrit had thrown on the table, and silently placed his cards face down on the table.

On the other side of the aisle.

Jubia had bitten his handkerchief until it was wet.

That wretched Miss Lucy!

They didn't let Lord Gray win a single game!

Ah!

Lord Grey, play with Juvia and let you win every time!

Guild, evening.

Laxus stood in front of the mission board.

“Laxus, do you want to do a commission?” Fried asked.

"Hmm." Laxus nodded.

"I'm sorry, my injuries haven't healed yet, so I can't come with you," Fried said regretfully.

“It’s alright.” Laxus’s gaze locked onto a request.

Fried looked over and read aloud softly, “Assist the client in investigating evidence of the Ahanitta family’s corruption and unauthorized imprisonment of civilians. Client—Edward Adrian.”

“Ahhanita?” Fried frowned slightly. “The developers of that recently popular tourist destination—Ahhanita Town, that nationally renowned wealthy family.”

"Yes." Laxus nodded.

"This mission is no simple matter. The other party is a large family, and they must have hired many powerful individuals," Fried said worriedly.

'hiss'

Laxus tore up the power of attorney.

"Have a safe trip, Laxus," Fried said quickly.

The Hatfilia family.

The imposing patriarch stood before the enormous floor-to-ceiling window, gazing at the distant scenery with a deep, unfathomable look in his eyes.

"Master, the route to Ahhanita Town has been planned," the butler said softly.

"Hmm." The patriarch turned away from the floor-to-ceiling window.

The guild feels much quieter without Natsu.

Mirajane sighed.

She had some things to do today, so she left work early.

"Elfman?"

Walking down the street, Mirajane looked at two figures ahead and recognized them—it was Elfman and Abba Grin.

She covered her mouth and chuckled, not wanting to disturb them, then turned and took a longer route home via another street.

I just got home and saw a letter in my mailbox.

"Huh? Who would send me a letter? Tiffany?"

People in the guild should just talk things out; there's no need to send her letters.

Mirajane thought for a moment, and realized that only her friend, Tiffany, could do it.

She picked up the letter, saw the name, and sure enough, it was Tiffany.

turn on.

A girl's image appears as a projection on the letter.

She was beautiful and tall, with a curvaceous figure and exaggerated waist and hip curves. She wore a white, tight-fitting workout outfit with the pants tucked up to her knees, revealing her straight calves and delicate white feet.

Her waist-length hair was styled into twin ponytails.

The hair color is somewhat unique—it shows a gradient from white to green from the top of the head to the ends.

Two pointed ears, like those of an elf, small, delicate, and adorable.

The irises are green, so green they resemble two rare and precious gems.

Like a goddess's own hand-carved beautiful face covered in glistening beads of sweat, easily whetting one's appetite.

Mirajane concluded that she must have written the letter during her spiritual practice.

“Long time no see, Miss Mirajane,” Tiffany said. “I recently got two ‘all-store discount cards’ for the Ahhanita Town Department Store. Do you have some time these few days? Would you like to go shopping with me? I’ve always heard that it’s a great tourist destination, and it should be worth the trip.”

"Huh?" Mirajane exclaimed in surprise. "It seems that Yefrit and the others are also going to Ahanitta Town."

Mirajane suddenly laughed. "Things might get interesting."

We've arrived in Ahhanita Town again.

After paying their way into the town, Erza and the other girls were captivated by the dreamlike beauty before them.

"So beautiful!" Lucy couldn't help but exclaim.

Ahhanita Town is located in a canyon, and this terrain has prevented the town from developing.

Until the arrival of the Ahanitta family—a family as wealthy as the Hatfilia family.

Mayor John Ahanitta is a business legend who has spent his life creating business myths.

In his later years, Ahanitta became a legend under his planning.

He turned what was originally a disadvantageous terrain into an advantage.

They abandoned half of the town and concentrated resources on the west side, creating a luxurious commercial street that became famous throughout the country.

This town shows care and attention to detail in every aspect.

Many exquisite artificial crystals are inserted into the cliffs on both sides.

During the day, it filters sunlight, while in the morning and evening, it reflects colorful yet gentle light, enveloping the entire West Town in this glow.

The houses are built in a fairytale style, with various pleasing color combinations, and the light they reflect.

It makes visitors feel like they've stepped into a fairytale world as soon as they arrive here.

Everywhere you look, it's a dreamlike world that doesn't seem real.

Let alone the girls.

Even Natsu and Gray nodded in agreement, clearly appreciating the beautiful scenery.

Chapter 80, Ahhanita Town

There were more tourists in the town than usual.

Because Mayor John's 80th birthday is coming up soon.

It also marks the ten-year celebration of Ahhanita's transformation from poverty to prosperity – a new beginning.

For this reason, even Alex, a nationally renowned machine maker, was invited to hold a machine exhibition.

They also distributed various discount cards and shopping vouchers.

Thanks to all the publicity, the town of Ahhanita was almost overcrowded.

Fortunately, Yevlit had come prepared – he had paid for a room for this period of time when he left the hotel last time.

So he led everyone there directly.

The only slightly awkward thing is...

At the time, he only considered himself, Natsu, Gray, and Happy the cat.

So I only booked one room.

But now there are three more girls, which is obviously inappropriate.

The owner said there were no rooms available.
