Fairy Tail: I was transported to the wrong world and became a pirate

"President, President Makarov!" Hughes walked up to the bar and shook the unconscious Makarov. The old man reeked of alcohol; it was unclear how long he had been drinking.

Sigh, this is what it's like for an unwanted, lonely elderly person!

"President, wake up! Grandma Poliusica is here to see you wearing a dress!"

"Ha, where is it!" The dazed old man suddenly jumped up, his body swaying and unsteady, his half-closed eyes scanning the surroundings.

Hughes stood calmly beside Makarov, his face expressionless, but his eyes filled with utter contempt: "Pah! Scumbag, pervert!"

"Cough cough! Hughes, you didn't hear anything just now, you know that!" Makarov, whose drunkenness had slightly subsided, put his fist to his mouth and coughed a few times.

"I've prepared the books you need on fire transformation and how to deal with sealing magic. They're in the guild library; you can find them there!"

Hughes continued to look at him quietly without saying a word, his meaning clear: this little bit of information was not enough to make him forget what had just happened.

"There's a collector's edition at the very back of the middle cabinet on the second shelf! It's even better than the one Gildas gave you!"

"Ah! President, did something just happen? I think I suddenly lost some of my memory..."

"No, get out!"

"Alright!"

.......

Upon arriving at the legendary Fairy Tail Guild Library, the sheer number of books nearly triggered Hughes's trypophobia.

Fairy Tail Guild Library is a very peculiar library. It contains all kinds of magic books, and you can even find rare super magic in it, but very few guild members usually come in.

Hughes entered and immediately saw the materials Makarov had prepared for him; it was so obvious that they were placed at the entrance, with a wooden sculpture of him standing on top of them.

Hughes couldn't help but think to himself how afraid they were of him not being able to see them.

Hughes skipped over them, found the middle cabinet on the second shelf, pushed aside the books that were being used as a smokescreen, accurately took the collector's edition, flipped through a few pages to examine it, and then... Hughes closed the cabinet with trembling hands.

That's so daring, so exciting... They're actually playing a prop race!!

He quickly stuffed it into his clothes; he happened to be dressed today, everything was just right. Satisfied, Hughes walked to the door, picked up the materials the chairman had prepared for him, and found a quiet place.

After a short while, Hughes closed the book in despair; damn it, it was all text, he couldn't understand it.

Why can't we learn from others and use painting as a method? It's simple, easy to understand, and refreshing.

"Mira, Mira, please help me!"

Hughes, who had rushed out, pulled Mira, who was still scolding Lisanna, into the library.

Poor Lisanna, she's been turned into an ostrich!

Mira, who was dragged over by Hughes, looked puzzled. Hughes would go to a place like the guild library?

"Mira, can you read?"

Mira nodded. These days, there are very few people who can't read. Even talking monsters can write a few human characters.

"I can't read, can you translate this for me?" Shustan sat down casually and handed the book in his hand to Mira.

Mira stared at Hughes for a long time, as if he were a rare species. There really are illiterate people these days...

Oh! I almost forgot, this illiterate person is from another world...

"What part don't you understand?"

"I can't understand any of it!"

"This is quite a task for you; you'll have to start by learning the written language!"

Hughes patted his chest confidently and gestured for Mira to do whatever she wanted. He then wrote down a few words he had frequently encountered recently.

"Mira, what do these words mean? Teach me first!"

Mira frowned and stared at the "やめてください", "ぬれた", and "もうダメ" written on the paper by Hughes.

She fell into deep thought for a long time. Was Hughes implying something?

"Hughes, have you been watching something you shouldn't be watching lately?!"

Faced with Mira's earnest questioning, Hughes quickly shook his head, "I just often hear the Chairman and Gildas say that!"

Hughes, having shifted the blame, felt a slight relief from his tension.

"I saw what you hid!" Mila pointed at Hughes' chest.

Hughes looked down... Damn! His clothes were a bit see-through today...

"Hughes, how could you look at these things!" Taking advantage of Hughes's relaxed vigilance, Mira snatched the items, looked at them for a while, and then threw them directly at his face, shouting loudly.

Who would use this thing to poke... no, what kind of pervert would watch this kind of thing?

"Hey! This is the guild library, be quiet!" The two's noise annoyed the blond boy wearing the magical item "Sound Pot" on his head.

Hughes followed the sound and was somewhat surprised to find Laxus in the library. Was this guy a studious person?

Hughes raised his hand and greeted Laxus in a casual manner: "Yo, Laxus, sorry, sorry, when did you get here!"

Laxus didn't want to reply. He was already reading a book before Hughes sat down. The two were several tables apart, but Hughes acted as if he didn't see him.

No... Hughes didn't see him. As soon as he came in, he hurriedly flipped open that dirty sketchbook with a lewd expression.

Laxus's extremely disdainful gaze made Mira lower her head somewhat embarrassed. She was shy, and besides, she had just been discussing something rather unhealthy with Hughes, so she was indeed a little ashamed.

Hughes quickly put away the treasure to prevent Mira from taking it away again; this time he hid it below.

He got up, adjusted the chicken's position, and walked over to Laxus. Looking down, he saw an identical magic book on Laxus's desk: "Oh, you read this one too!"

This is a magic book specifically for recording sealing magic and its solutions; the guild master also recommended that Hughes read it.

"Wait, you didn't learn all this just to get back at me, did you?!"

Laxus didn't shy away from the topic and nodded directly. After being a mage for so many years, this was the first time he had been so thoroughly humiliated. It wouldn't be his style not to retaliate.

Therefore, he stopped doing any tasks and spent all his time in the library, searching for magic that could deal with Hughes.

"Hehe, we're from the same guild, we're brothers, it's just that I beat you so badly you couldn't fight back, there's no need to be like this!" Hughes said kindly, putting his arm around Langras's shoulder.

Even Mira, who was unaware of what had happened, could tell whether those words were well-intentioned or malicious.

She stood up and pulled Hughes back to sit down: "Don't cause trouble, Hughes..."

Hughes patted her on the shoulder, gesturing for her to sit down; Hughes was deliberately stirring things up, always needing to test his current strength.

Currently, the only ones in the guild qualified to be his opponents are Gildas, Makarov, and Laxus.

If you can't beat the first two, Laxus is tough; you won't have to kneel down and beg him not to die.

Enraged, Laxus immediately stood up, his face fierce: "Hey, Hughes, fight me again, and I'll give you that house in the suburbs if you win!"

"I don't want the house, whoever loses gives me 100 million J!"

"Can!"

"Then I'll give you some time to prepare, two days from now. I hope you can give me some fun this time, and not let me fall down after just two punches like last time!"

Laxus scoffed twice in anger. He acknowledged the crushing defeat last time, but he would never allow himself to lose again this time, even if it meant exposing the power of the dragon.
