Fairy Tail: I'm invincible when I receive anime characters!

"I heard that a very famous mage has come to the city."

"Lord Fire Dragon!!"

Qi Yan was slightly taken aback: "Fire Dragon?! Natsu is here?! Is he that popular?!"

Qi Yan walked over curiously. If Natsu happened to be returning to the guild with him, he would see a middle-aged man surrounded by girls nearby. It was obviously not Natsu.

"Did you mistake me for someone else?"

Qi Yan was about to turn around and leave when a familiar voice reached his ears.

"Igunir!!"

Chapter 49 You're so eloquent!

Qi Yan looked in the direction of the sound and saw a familiar figure emerging from under the girl's crotch.

With cherry blossom-colored hair and a dragon-scale-shaped scarf, it was indeed Natsu, accompanied by a blue kitten named Happy.

When Natsu crawled in and saw that the person wasn't Igni he expected, he was so embarrassed that he broke out in a sweat: "Who are you?"

"I'm talking about fire dragons, you should know that, right?"

The man struck what he thought was a cool pose, but before he could finish speaking, Natsu and Happy had already emerged from the crowd, dejectedly turning and leaving.

"Walking so fast."

Seeing their idol being ignored, many girls immediately rushed over, grabbed Natsu's scarf, and dragged him back.

How can you two be so rude?

"That's right!! Lord Fire Dragon is an extremely powerful mage."

"Apologize to me."

Natsu was also a little confused: "What are you doing?"

The man waved his hand and said magnanimously, "Never mind, he doesn't seem to have any ill intentions."

"Ah~~~! So gentle!!"

All the girls' eyes lit up with hearts.

The man took out an autographed plaque with the words 'Fire Dragon' written on it and handed it to Natsu: "This is my autograph. Take it and show it off to your friends."

"Ah~~~! I'm so envious!"

"I do not want."

As soon as Natsu finished speaking, he was picked up and thrown out by the girls who were protecting their idol.

"What do you mean!!"

"Get out of here!!"

The man snapped his fingers, and a ball of red flame rose from beneath his feet, carrying him into the air.

"Thank you all for the warm welcome, but I have to go to the port ahead, so I'll take my leave now. I'll be having a party on the ship tonight, everyone please come!" With that, he waved and flew away quickly on the flames.

"Yay!!"

"We will definitely go!!"

This amazing scene made many girls cheer with excitement.

"What's that guy doing?"

Natsu was somewhat bewildered.

At that moment, Qi Yan's voice rang out: "Natsu, Happy."

"This voice!"

Natsu and Happy were taken aback, then quickly looked in the direction of the sound and saw Qi Yan standing not far away, smiling at them.

"Qi Yan!!"

Seeing Qi Yan, Natsu and Happy were both delighted. In the past six months, Qi Yan had become very familiar with Natsu, Happy, and the rest of the guild. Since Qi Yan moved into his new home, the two of them would often go to visit him, and they were considered to have a very good relationship.

"Qi Yan, you're back!"

Happy ran over happily.

"Well, I'm back."

Natsu scrambled over and grabbed Qi Yan's leg, crying, "Qi Yan! Save me! Please treat me to a meal! I'm starving!"

"You rascal, you're causing trouble again, aren't you?"

Seeing Natsu's appearance, Qi Yan guessed that the guy had probably caused trouble and lost money while working. Otherwise, with Natsu's abilities, a job worth 20 J would be very easy for him.

"Oh dear! We lost money again this time."

Habi gave an affirmative answer.

Qi Yan shook his head helplessly: "Let's go, I'm hungry too. I know a restaurant up ahead that's affordable and tastes good."

“Okay!!”

Natsu and Happy jumped up with joy.

A voice rang out behind them.

"If it's alright, I'll treat you to this meal."

The three were taken aback when they heard this. They turned around and saw a very cute girl standing behind them.

The girl had dazzling blonde hair, with a strand tied up with a blue bow, making her look playful and cute.

She wore a white top with blue trim and a blue pleated skirt. Her skin was very fair, and she had a very cute appearance. In particular, her stunning figure made her a beautiful sight to behold.

Qi Yan was stunned when he saw the other person. Although there were some differences between the real person and the anime, Qi Yan recognized her at a glance. The other person was Lucy Heartfilia, the female protagonist of the Fairy Tail anime.

"Thank you all just now!"

Lucy raised her hand and greeted him with a smile.

Natsu and Happy were a little confused. Lucy was speaking to them, but they couldn't remember doing anything that deserved their gratitude.

Lucy explained, "That man called Fire Dragon used a spell called 'Charm,' which seduces people. It was banned from sale many years ago. Using that kind of spell to seduce girls is really disgusting. Thanks to you guys for coming over, the spell on me was broken, so please let me treat you to a meal to express my gratitude."

Natsu and Happy looked at each other in bewilderment.

"I see. But no need, Qi Yan will treat us."

Natsu patted Qi Yan on the shoulder with a grin.

"Yes! Qi Yan will treat us."

Natsu and Happy knew that Qi Yan was the biggest spender in Fairy Tail, earning more in one job than they did in a year. This time, Qi Yan went out to do an S-rank mission, and judging from his appearance, he must have completed it successfully. It would be a good opportunity to rip him off.

Qi Yan rolled his eyes helplessly: "Have you two already freeloaded enough?"

Qi Yan didn't mind being treated to meals, and occasionally he would invite his close guild members to his home for meals and gatherings.

"Let me do it! I'd feel bad if I didn't properly express my gratitude."

Hearing Lucy's words, Qi Yan and the other two did not refuse, and they went to the restaurant together.

"My name is Lucy. What are your names?"

"Qi Yan, Natsu, Happy? Oh right, don't let my appearance fool you, I'm a mage, though I haven't joined any guild yet."

"Ah, a guild is an organization that brings together many mages and acts as an intermediary to provide them with jobs and information. If a mage doesn't work in a guild, he can't be considered capable of standing on his own."

"However!! However!! There are many guilds in the world, but they are famous guilds, and the conditions for joining are correspondingly very strict."

"The guild I most want to join has so many amazing mages!"

"Oh no... what should I do?! I really want to join them, but the requirements must be very strict."

"Ah! I'm sorry, I used some jargon from the mage world, you probably didn't understand it very well."

"But I really want to join that guild; it seems like I can get a lot of high-quality jobs there."

Qi Yan, Natsu, and Happy looked at Lucy with bewildered expressions and remarked, "You're quite the talker!!"

From the moment she first met Lucy, Lucy kept talking nonstop. It was their first meeting, yet she was incredibly talkative.

Chapter 50 Lucy

Having watched the animation, Qi Yan knew that Lucy was an incredibly talkative girl, but her talkativeness was still somewhat beyond his expectations.

Although she is quite talkative, she is not annoying; on the contrary, she is somewhat endearing.

At this moment, Lucy turned her head and said, "By the way, it looks like you guys are looking for someone."

Harpy nodded and said, "That's right, we're looking for Igniel."

"I heard that Qiu came to this city, but when I got here I found out that he wasn't."

"You can tell from its appearance that the one called Fire Dragon isn't it."

"I was still sure Igniel was there, sigh! Another wasted trip."

Qi Yan said speechlessly, "You two are really idiots. How could Igunir possibly be here? If it were, the whole city would be in chaos by now."

Lucy was slightly startled by this: "What would a fire dragon look like to cause such chaos in the entire city, as a human being..."

"Huh? Not human, Igniel is a real dragon."

Lucy was stunned by these words: "How could it possibly be on the street?! Are you idiots?!"

Natsu and Happy looked as if they suddenly realized something.

"Hey!! Don't look like you're only just realizing it now!!"

At this moment, the group arrived at the hole-in-the-wall restaurant that Qi Yan had mentioned. There were already quite a few people sitting there. Qi Yan and the others found a seat by the window and ordered some food.

"Alright, I have to go now. You guys enjoy your meal."

Lucy paid for the meal and got up to leave. After all, they were just strangers who had met, and she only wanted to express her gratitude.

"Thank you for treating us to dinner!"

"No...no need to thank me...you helped me too, isn't it only fair to return the favor? Okay, I'll be going now, bye-bye."

Lucy waved her hand and then turned and left.

"What a kind person!"

Natsu watched Lucy's retreating figure and sighed. It was the first time they had ever met such a kind person who wanted to treat them to a meal just because of their unintentional help.

Qi Yan curled his lip and said, "They're already being nice by treating you to one meal, but what about all the meals I've treated you to?"

"Of course he's a really great person! Hehehe!!"

"Love~~~!"

"Waiter! I'd like to order!!"

Natsu beckoned the waiter over, then picked up the menu and started ordering with Happy, quickly filling the table with food.

Natsu chuckled, "After all, I'm not familiar with him, so I wouldn't feel at ease eating too much. I just had a little something to show for it. If it were you, Qi Yan, then it would be fine. You just completed an S-rank mission, so I'd have to have a big meal."

"Love~~!"

Habi excitedly agreed.

"Love you my foot!"

Qi Yan gently flicked Happy's head. Natsu seems carefree and doesn't think things through, but he can be quite thoughtful at times.

Then the three of them ate and chatted, but Qi Yan's mind was on Lucy. Although he couldn't remember some of the details of Fairy Tail's plot, he still had a vague impression of the beginning of the story.

Qi Yan recalled the middle-aged man surrounded by girls, a hint of murderous intent flashing in his eyes, impersonating a fairy tail.

Now that he has been in the world for more than half a year, he has come to regard Fairy Tail as his second home. Those who tarnish Fairy Tail's reputation deserve to die. Let them enjoy their last moments of happiness for now.

As night falls, the warm, white moonlight shines on the sea, bathing the entire town of Harugion in a glow. The light is bright even at night, and the cool sea breeze adds to the comfortable atmosphere, even in the sweltering summer heat.

Many people come out for a walk along the coast at this time, not only to enjoy the beautiful night view of the seaside, but also to digest their food. Qi Yan and his friends are one such example.

"Ah! This food is so delicious!!"
