Fairy Tail: Capturing the Demon Mirajane at the Start

cough cough.

Just kidding, Igor isn't the kind of person who's obsessed with money.

"Let's go buy a house."

Looking at the remaining 45 million J in Kari, Igor thought for a while and finally made a decision: to buy a house.

Well, it seems to be an obsession ingrained in Igor's bones, a desire to own a house of his own.

So, Igor arranged to meet the real estate agent from Magnolia town at the Fairy Tail guild.

"I heard Igor is back. Shall we have a fight?"

Just as Igor was exhausted after half a year and was preparing to take a good rest, the gate of the Fairy Tail guild was suddenly kicked open, and a boy with short cherry pink hair rushed excitedly toward Igor.

"Sorry, I'm not in the mood to fight you today."

Igor sighed; he was truly exhausted.

"Accept!"

But Natsu didn't seem to want to miss this opportunity to spar with Ig, and he shouted, "Fire Dragon's Iron Fist..."

"Oh!"

Before Naz could finish speaking, Igor's fist landed on Naz's face, sending him flying. He said impatiently, "I already told you, don't bother me if you don't have something to say."

"Hahaha."

"Naz was instantly killed."

While Kana was idly chugging a barrel of wine in the guild hall, she calmly recounted what had happened after seeing Natsu being instantly killed by Igor with a single punch.

"Love~"

"I'll go find Naz!"

Seeing this, Happy, who was flying in mid-air with his white wings spread out, nodded with a grin and flew out of the guild to find Natsu's 'body'.

Chapter 57 Igor: What do you mean by calling me the Balkan Killer?

"Mr. Igor, what do you think of this property?"

“This house is not only one of the few ocean-view properties in Magnolia, but also one of the few properties in the city that is not affected by the ‘Kildas model’.”

"Of course, because this property has a very convenient view and convenient transportation, the price is generally higher than that of properties in other areas."

After Igor punched Naz away, the top real estate agent from Magnolia, whom he had booked, finally arrived.

This was a young man around thirty years old, dressed in a well-fitting suit and with a kind smile. After meeting Igor, he didn't waste any time with pleasantries or small talk, and immediately began to introduce Igor to a crab.

"Uh."

Igor looked at the property in front of him, his lips moving slightly, as if he wanted to say something.

"Of course, although the price of this property is indeed slightly higher than the average price in other areas of Magnolia, I think it is really suitable for a promising young man like Mr. Igor."

The real estate agent smiled and loudly praised Igor's achievements.

"Do you know me?"

Igor paused for a moment; he didn't consider himself famous.

"hehe."

"Look at what you're saying. The infamous Tyrant of Mount Halberd, I'd say everyone in 'Fiore' knows him, but I do know him."

The real estate agent smiled and mentioned Igor's name.

"what?"

"The Tyrant of Halberd Mountain?"

Igor paused, seemingly not quite understanding where this title came from.

"Eh."

The real estate agent, still smiling, took out the morning's newspaper from his briefcase and placed it in front of Igor.

Shocking! A tyrant reigning over the Halber Mountains has appeared within the Fairy Tail guild, a man comparable to the killer of the Demon Beast Balgan Mountains!

Igor looked at the newspaper in front of him, and his eye twitched slightly.

In short, a reporter who was staking out the Magic Council ERA witnessed Igor going to the council to collect his reward, and after exaggerating the event, wrote this report.

Therefore, the title of Tyrant of Ighalbe Mountain and Slayer of the Beast Balgan has resounded throughout the entire Kingdom of Fiore.

Meanwhile, the fact that Igor received a pre-tax reward of 120 million J and a post-tax reward of 60 million J from the Magic Council ERA was also publicized by reporters, so much so that adventurers, mages, and mercenaries all over the country and even the continent set their sights on the Halber Mountains and the magical Balkans, this "fat piece of meat".

"..."

Igor didn't care about this; he was planning to rest for a few months anyway, and let the mercenaries, adventurers, and mages go on their adventures in the Harbe Mountains.

Well, only after going to the Halberd Mountains can these adventurers know just how difficult it is to hunt a group of intelligent, fearsome, and gregarious upright apes that are not hindered by wind and snow, in the face of blizzards and extremely low temperatures of minus 20 or 30 degrees Celsius.

In the Harbe Mountains, apart from ice and snow-type mages, mages of other attributes would probably find it difficult to even unleash their full potential!

"suck."

"call."

Igor put the newspaper aside, steadied his breathing, and looked at the top real estate agent in front of him, asking, "So, how much is this property exactly?"

"The building occupies an area of ​​150 square meters, has three floors in total, and comes with a front yard of about 50 square meters. The total price is only 42 million J."

The agent answered truthfully.

"Uh."

Igor's eye twitched slightly. He suspected that the real estate agent in front of him had calculated his house purchase budget before coming to his door.

"Can you make it cheaper?"

Igor asked tentatively.

"Actually, we also have cheaper room types..."

The agent smiled and began to promote other properties to Igor: "You can take a look at this one. It's a rare street-facing property, and like the previous sea-view villa, it's three stories high with a building area of ​​200 square meters, which is 50 square meters more than that villa! You can also rent out the bottom two floors to merchants who come to Magnolia to do business."

"Then what's the price?"

Igor narrowed his eyes. He wasn't fooled. There must be a reason why such a nice house couldn't be sold.

"The price is... this house is located on the boundary of the 'Kildas Model' in Magnolia City. Every time Gildas returns to Magnolia City, this house experiences the strongest 'tremors'."

The real estate agent answered Igor's question truthfully, adding, "But the price is only thirty million J."

"No."

Igor waved his hand, refusing.

"Then you can take a look at this one. The location of this house is also great. It is surrounded by water on all sides, and most importantly, it is very close to the Fairy Tail guild."

The agent continued to recommend properties to Igor.

"Do you think being close to the Fairy Tail guild is a good thing?"

As a member of the Fairy Tail guild, no one understands better than Igor what price one has to pay for getting too close to the Fairy Tail guild.

"hehe."

After realizing that Igor wasn't falling for it at all, the real estate agent smiled awkwardly and added, "While this might not be a good thing for others, it's probably not a bad thing for you as a member of the Fairy Tail guild, right?!"

"Ugh."

After much deliberation, Igor shook his head and sighed in resignation. He ultimately chose the ocean-view apartment that the real estate agent had recommended.

For no other reason than that this house is far from the Fairy Tail guild and doesn't have high-value housing insurance.

Yes, the houses that the real estate agents were promoting seemed cheap, but because they were too close to Fairy Tail, they faced the risk of being forced to relocate at any time, so the housing insurance was extremely expensive.

After careful calculation, based on the high housing insurance premiums of those houses, Igor estimated that the housing costs ten years from now would surpass those of the sea-view house.

So Igor ultimately chose the former.

Thank you for your cooperation. Have a pleasant stay.

"If you wish to move to a larger, better house in the future, please feel free to contact me."

Finally, under the smiling gaze of the real estate agent, Igor signed the purchase contract with the other party and received the property certificate personally signed by the mayor of Magnolia City. It not only had the mayor's signature but also the official seal of the royal family of the 'Fiore' Kingdom.

"Ah, we're out of money. Forty million just vanished like that."

After spending a huge sum of 42 million J, Igor now only has 3 million J left. If he spends it frugally, he can live for several years without any problem, but he still needs to solve problems such as the decoration of the new house and the furniture.

"Take a short rest for two months, and after those adventurers have suffered in the Halber Mountains, go back to the Halber Mountains to hunt some magical beasts in the Balkans to exchange for some money."

After thinking for a while, Igor finally made a decision.

Chapter 58 Igor: I think Makarov could be the Fairy Tail guild master for life~

One week later.

During this week, Igor has been busy with the renovation and furniture of the sea-view room.

Because Igor was short of money, he only spent two million J to renovate the first floor of the sea-view villa and bought some simple furniture for five hundred thousand J.

The remaining two floors of the villa are still in the unfinished stage. After calculation, he estimated that it would take another four million dollars to complete the renovation.

Roughly speaking, it would take forty Balkans before tax and eighty Balkans after tax.

"It is indeed a long and arduous task ahead."

After sighing, Igor sat down at the Fairy Tail guild bar and drank an ice-cold beer.

Hehehe~

As the guild master of Fairy Tail, Makarov smiled as he approached Igor, who was troubled by money, and said with a grin, "Igor, I have a good way to help you solve your financial problems."

"What method?"

Igor paused, looking at Makarov, who seemed to have ill intentions towards him, with a look of suspicion in his eyes.

"It's very simple."

"As long as you, Igor, become the next guild master of our Fairy Tail guild, then all the money in the guild will be yours."

"From now on, you will not only be exempt from paying guild dues, but you will also have complete control over the funds in the guild account."

Makarov is drawing a cake for Igor.

"hehe."

Igor sneered, a mocking glint in his eyes, and said softly, "Guild Master, don't think I don't know that our guild's account is completely empty! Not only is the guild's account empty, but we also owe a lot of money to the Magic Council ERA and the major banks in the kingdom."

"Uh."

Makarov seemed surprised that Igor knew so much about the Fairy Tail guild's finances.

"Guild Master, as far as I know, you even sold the ancestral home of the Doraear family to help everyone in the guild pay off their debts, right?"

Igor exposed Makarov's true colors.

"Ah, this, that..."

Makarov lowered his head, stammering and unable to utter a complete sentence for a moment.

"hehe."

Igor chuckled, patted Makarov on the shoulder, and said softly, "You must live to be a hundred! After all, you still have to try your best to stay in the position of guild master of Fairy Tail."

"Don't curse me, Igor."

Makarov's expression changed drastically, and he roared at Igor.

"Hahaha."

Igor looked at Makarov, whose expression had changed drastically, and smiled without saying a word.

Makarov may have let his son and grandson down, but he has definitely lived up to the expectations of everyone in the Fairy Tail guild.

For the Fairy Tail guild, and for everyone in the guild, this old guy is willing to give everything.

In fact, in Igor's personal opinion, if Guild Master Makarov hadn't been burdened by the Fairy Tail guild for so long, ultimately succumbing to overwork and illness...
