A magic merchant infiltrating Fairy Tail

But Maklov's next words dispelled his worries: "Juvia joined our guild yesterday..."

"What?!"

"She's worried about you too."

"What is that melancholy woman thinking?!" Gajeel was surprised, but even more puzzled by Maklov's purpose in coming.

Maklov extended a direct invitation to him: "A person cannot simply fall into darkness on their own. Why don't you join our guild?"

"Are you kidding me?!" Gajeel was first shocked, then puzzled. "Are you serious about asking me this?"

Maklov said seriously, his expression earnest: "Although some people in this world like solitude, no one can truly endure loneliness!"

Gajeel noticed Kira pulling out a notebook and scribbling something down, but this didn't interrupt his conversation with Makarov.

“But I destroyed your guild.” Gajeel turned his head away in shame, like a child who had broken a vase and was too ashamed to face his parents.

I will not pursue that matter any further.

Gajeel glanced at Kira out of the corner of his eye: "But your guild members..."

“You hurt them…” Makarov said seriously, “Indeed, I will never forgive you for this, no matter what.”

Just as Gajeel was about to say something, Makarov changed the subject: "But if I continue to ignore a young man's descent into darkness, I will be even less able to forgive myself!"

Kira quickly memorized Makarov's talk-no-jutsu techniques.

Maklov extended his hand to Gajeru: "This is not salvation! It is merely a guide to the light of tomorrow!"

"Whether you change things from now on or just wait to die is up to you."

Although he was less than half his height, Maklov appeared very tall when standing in the light.

As if he had truly found salvation, Gajeel slowly began to speak: "I..."

Kira's clapping interrupted Gajeel's words.

"That's so true, President! If it were me, I'd say yes!!"

If I had that kind of persuasive skill, would I be afraid of not being able to sell my products?

Gajeel looked at Kira with some surprise. The two had argued before, and he thought Kira would definitely object to this, but it seemed that he didn't.

"Kira Hopellett?"

“This is the chairman’s decision, and I don’t have much ill will towards you,” Kira said, as if explaining. “Besides, Natsu admires you a lot and would love to have in-depth conversations with you every day…”

For Kira, lying is a basic skill.

"What's wrong? Or have you changed your mind and want to work at my shop? Too bad, that's not possible now, I already have employees..."

"Are you truly able to let go of your resentment? Why?"

After waiting so long, you finally asked that question! That's why I went through all that trouble to come to this godforsaken place with the guild leader—just to answer it!!

Why?

Seeing Kira's smug smile, Gajeel felt a sense of unease.

"Perhaps it's because...you look a lot like my deceased son, hahaha!!!"

"You bastard!!!"

Chapter 118 Joining Fairy Tail

"Huh?! So, Rocky has already returned to the Protoss Realm?"

When Kira returned to the guild with Maklov, he heard from Cana and the others that Loki had regained his identity as Leo Leo and become Lucy's key.

"What a pity, I really wanted to see the Celestial Spirit King..."

"What's with that 'I knew it all along' look on your face?!" Several people surrounded Kira, hands on hips, and said, "I thought you'd be surprised by his identity!"

Kira felt a little smug inside, but on the surface he pretended to be relaxed and indifferent: "Tch, I already knew about that, but I didn't say anything because I was considering Rocky's concerns."

"So, how do you know about this? Even Gray doesn't know this, and you and Rocky don't seem to have any secrets..."

"I'm a renowned weapon master in the magical world, and I once possessed four Golden Celestial Spirit Keys. Isn't it normal for me to know this kind of thing? Not to mention the relationship between Hibiki and Kallen..."

The Hibiki that Kira mentioned is the handsome guy who uses ancient book magic and whose looks are always overshadowed by Kira's in the newspapers. The two are friends, and Kira even asked him to look up information during the Zonia incident. Kallen is the original holder of the Leo Key Leo.

Both of them are mages from Blue Pegasus, and they were once a couple—although it seems like a pairing of a scumbag woman and a gigolo.

"Speaking of which, what's up with this guy?" The Fairy Tail members glared at Gajeel, who had come to the guild with Kira.

“Oh, you mean Gajeel?” Kira replied, “I also agree with the Chairman’s decision to let him join Fairy Tail…”

"Are you kidding me! He's one of the Ghosts!"

“The Ghosts have already disbanded, right? When we found him, he didn’t use his power to do bad things. Instead, he was quietly eating junk in a corner. From that perspective, his character is still acceptable.”

"He also sabotaged our guild!"

"Out with the old, in with the new! We've already built a brand new guild! The old guild was so dilapidated, it couldn't withstand your fighting at all. The guild leader had wanted to tear it down and rebuild it for a long time. Now it's new and strong, isn't that great! Besides, the guild leader doesn't care anymore."

"He also attacked Levy and the others!"

"Oh, there's even less to worry about. He'll spend his whole life paying for it!"

No one present understood Kira's implied meaning; they all assumed he meant Gajeel would spend his entire life repaying the guild, and they all wore expressions that said, "The guild doesn't need someone like that."

"Hey, what's wrong? Are you questioning the chairman's decision?" Kira said righteously. "If you ignore a young person falling into darkness, can you forgive yourselves?"

"Kira, what nonsense are you talking about!"

"We don't care about that kind of thing!"

"I'll just drink two more barrels of liquor to celebrate!"

Huh? Why are these guys reacting like this? Did I say something wrong?

Kira pulled out his notebook and looked at it carefully. Yes, that's exactly what the chairman said. He felt really shocked when he heard it!

Could it be that the emotional impact wasn't strong enough?

Seeing Kira's actions, Cana muttered under her breath as she drank, "This guy is learning to talk like a little devil again."

Mira smiled and nodded, "That's exactly what the president would say!"

"Although there are people in this world who like solitude... no... not that... this isn't salvation! It's just a guiding light leading them toward tomorrow!"

"Kira, you shouldn't keep talking like a little devil!"

"Exactly! I can't feel anything at all!"

"Enough!" Kira roared in anger, slamming his notebook to the ground. "Looking for a beating?"

I can't learn the president's verbal skills, and I can't learn how to hit people like the president.

Seeing Kira roll up his sleeves, ready to get physical, the others all took a step back: "We can forgive the chairman, he's always been like this, so why do you agree with him?"

"Of course it's because of him and me who passed away... mmm..."

Before Kira could finish his sentence, an angry Gajeel covered his mouth, yelling, "You bastard, how many times do you want this old woman to say it before you're satisfied?!"

"Shut up!" After forcefully breaking free from Gajeel's grasp, Kira said with a strange expression, "I'll keep this secret for the rest of my life..."

Gajeel was furious and, led by Kira, started a fight with the guild members.

Because of the existence of magic, construction in the Fairy Tail world is very fast. In the original work, this new guild was completed in just one chapter of the Tower of Paradise arc, less than 30 chapters in total. Later, the people of Magnolia completed the renovation of this place that had been abandoned for seven years in just the time it took to participate in the Grand Magic Games.

With work being done day and night, the Fairy Tail guild is now almost complete.

The newly built guild used special materials made by Kira, making the walls much stronger, which played a very important role in the ensuing brawl.

Maklov was pleased with Kira's contributions, as he was finally free from the worries of building the guild.

"Alright! You guys accepted Juvia very quickly before, didn't you?"

"Juvia is a girl, so of course she needs to be treated differently and given special care."

"Exactly! Juvia was recommended by Mira, how can that be the same?"

Goodness, I could tell from the first word that he was a pervert, if I'm not mistaken...

Kira turned around and humphed, "As expected, it's Wakaba and Macao, those two smoking buddies."

"Speaking of which, what about the Juvia people?"

Such a big guild and no one's here, could it be...?

Mira replied, "Oh, you mean her... She seemed to fall in love with Gray at first sight a couple of days ago, so she secretly followed them out."

"Isn't this just stalking a perverted woman? It's really... cough cough, it's really despicable!"

Sigh, it seems I couldn't escape my destined couple after all.

"Honestly! It's very rude of you to talk to a girl like that!"

I didn't say anything wrong...

"Kira is right, I've seen similar plots in books and movies."

That's right...

"Brother, can I borrow a book to talk to you?"

What?! How dare they spread this kind of thing in the guild in broad daylight?

"Hey, what are you carrying? Hand it over! As the guild's discipline committee member, I need to check!"

"Discipline committee member? That should be Erza! No, when did the guild have such a thing as a discipline committee member..."

"That's an inspector!" Kira snatched it away. "Anyway, you're not allowed to watch this kind of... um..."

Upon receiving the book, Kira realized that the "plot" they were referring to was a romantic story of a pure young boy and girl falling in love at first sight, not something strange or unusual. He couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

"Don't look at these things anymore. You guys are always unable to find girlfriends because you're always clinging to these unrealistic dreams instead of doing missions!"

"That sounds nice, but you haven't done it yourself..."

"Whose book is this? I must condemn him!"

Without a doubt, it must be one of those two LSPs.
