Fairy Tail: Magic is not such an inconvenient thing.

Most of the Fiore Kingdom's territory is ruled by magical beasts, making it difficult for civilization to develop. Therefore, giving mages a reason to voluntarily tame these beasts might actually change the world.

"Abbot is right! I will definitely carry forward the magic of summoning cards! In the future, I will be the Card Queen of Fiore! Hehehehe!"

"Let's keep going. Let's take this opportunity to sign a few more Balkans."

"Come on, come on! My monsters! Your queen is here!"

Chapter 35 Albert's First Commission

"Abbot Abbot~ I've discovered a very serious problem!"

A week later, Kana found Abbot with a long face.

Just a few days ago, she was riding high, frequently summoning "Golden Bargan" to beat up Natsu in the guild, and was the most popular person in the guild for a time.

"What's wrong, Sister Kana?"

With his research on summoning magic coming to an end, Abbott decided to take some time to relax and unwind, so he has been leisurely learning to receive magic lately.

"Abbot, I've discovered the biggest drawback of summoning card magic!"

Kana counted on her fingers with a serious expression:

"If the contracted magical beast is too weak, it's of little use and can only serve as cannon fodder. But if I want to contract a powerful magical beast, I can't defeat it!"

"...Just say what you're thinking, no need to beat around the bush." ​​(I can hear you.)

"Hehehe~ How about Abbot comes with me to do a commission? Just the two of us, okay~"

"..."

Aibo remembered that Erza had just left yesterday after accepting a request to go on a long trip. He didn't expect that his sister Kana was such a scheming girl.

"Okay, I happen to have some free time lately..."

Abo didn't refuse. Going out for a walk would be good for him, as it would help him accumulate inspiration points. He was a little envious of Kana's magical talent, which was probably in its developmental stage and had been increasing rapidly recently.

He has decided not to use Inspiration Points again until he levels up Meditation to LV4.

"Yay! Let's go on a big adventure!"

Aibo let Kana lead him to the guild's commission wall and selected a suitable commission.

"Let me see, there are quite a few quests to slay monsters..."

"Sister Kana, these kinds of requests are all about killing, not driving away, monsters. They don't fit our goals."

"Hehe~ That seems to be true too."

Then Abbott noticed a special commission:

[Help! Drive away the demons in the village! Reward: 20000 J, Location...]

"A commission to exorcise demons? And this is all the money you get?"

"Huh? Indeed, that's suspicious. Could it be a very weak demon? By the way, Abbot, can demons be summoned through card contracts?"

"I don't know... I've never seen a demon before, but if it's a very weak one, it should be similar to a monster... How about we try this mission?"

"Great idea! This village isn't too far. We don't need to teleport this time; let's take a carriage together!"

Kana's eyes lit up, and she readily agreed. Actually, she just wanted to go out and have fun with Abbo; where they went didn't matter.

Kana tore off the "exorcise the demon" commission and went to report it to the guild master.

But just as the two were about to set off, a little blue-haired creature suddenly appeared. Levy puffed out her cheeks like a little pufferfish and blocked their way with a disgruntled expression.

Levy was too embarrassed to lash out in front of Abbot, so she pulled Cana aside to plot with her, even though Abbot heard everything they said...

"Oh, so you guys are going to sneak off to do some quests without me! That's so unfair!"

"Ahaha, well... Levy... I thought you were reading, so I didn't mean to disturb you, haha, haha..."

[Damn it! I clearly found out she was supposed to help out at the shop today, the information was false!?]

"I'll let it go the last time you two secretly went to the snow mountain together, but this is the first commission that Abbot has ever taken on, and I want to go too!"

"Sigh~ Well, what can we do? We're best friends."

[You annoying Levy! (?o皿o)?=3=3]

After discussing it, the two returned and brought Abbot along. The three of them rented a carriage to their destination, and the fare alone cost 1000 J. No wonder no one had accepted this quest.

Once in the car, Abbott used his transformation magic to turn himself into a fourteen or fifteen-year-old.

He had grown taller and more robust, with his long, cherry-colored hair tied in a high ponytail hanging down his back, and a signature, subtle, mischievous smile on his lips. He was a vibrant and exceptionally handsome young man.

The two girls were stunned by Abbott's actions. Levy stared intently at Abbott's grown-up face, her cheeks flushing.

"Ai, Aibo, how did you suddenly get so big?"

"Hmm? When I'm going out on business, the client won't feel comfortable if I'm too young, and maintaining this appearance also helps me practice magic... um..."

Abbott paused, because he had inadvertently overheard their thoughts again.

【Yes, that's right. My Abbot is indeed the best, both in ability and looks!】

[Wow, why does Aibo look so good? Has he really grown up to be this handsome? Such good looks, yet so innocent-looking, it's just too unfair! How am I supposed to treat him like a younger brother now...?]

Cana's thoughts are fine, but Levy's ideas are dangerous. Are little girls these days so precocious?

Although Abbo was always fought over by the three little girls, he was well aware that his position was actually similar to that of a large toy. This was a very pure friendship between children, a playmate game based on "who is closer to whom".

However, Levy's thoughts now seem to be taking a turn for the worse.

emmmm…

Forget it, there's no use thinking too much. They may be immature, but can't I be? I'll just keep an eye on things and let nature take its course.

"Abbot really learns all kinds of magic very quickly. Changing body shape is already a relatively advanced transformation magic, right?"

"It's alright, not too difficult..."

Abbot's transformation magic is currently at LV2, which can change his appearance and clothing. The next level of transformation magic can even completely transform him into other creatures, somewhat like a druid.

Abbott thought transformation magic was a very useful spell. Since it was difficult to practice flying outside, he might as well use it to practice transformation. He wouldn't easily let go of any opportunity to gain experience points.

"Abbot, let me hug you~"

Levy, who was originally sitting opposite Abbot, blushed and moved to the other side of Abbot. She had a very bad feeling in her mind, and her smile became a little strange.

"Forehead…"

Abbott couldn't refuse, so he could only let Levy hug his arm and rest her head on his shoulder.

"Hmph ╯^╰"

Cana saw Levy sitting quietly on the other side. Although she was unhappy, she didn't say anything. Anyway, everyone liked Abbot and was used to it.

Kana started chatting with Abbo casually, and she was happy as long as Abbo was around.

Only Abbott himself knows how difficult it was for him.

Simply put, Levy's "idea" at this moment was a bit too explosive, like a demon's brain burning—

Wow, Abbott looks so cool now that he's grown up! And his skin is still so good. Unlike other boys who always like to get themselves all dirty, Abbott doesn't seem to care about his appearance. Is it really possible for a boy to be this perfect...?

[Forget it, being a younger brother is a thing of the past, I'm better off not being a sister anymore!]

Although Abbott is still young, if we grow up, we'll be childhood sweethearts! Books say that childhood sweethearts always get married when they grow up, so I'll definitely marry Abbott someday…

[Oh right, there's also Cana and Erza, but it's okay, they're so old, they probably wouldn't dare compete with me for Abbot. I'm only three years older than Abbot, I'm the most suitable match for him...]

[Hehe, when I grow up I'll get married, and then we'll do naughty things, and then we'll have kids, right? What should we name the kids? Abbott is so handsome, our kids will definitely be smart and beautiful too...]

Perhaps it doesn't even need to wait until marriage; the forbidden fruit would be meaningless if not enjoyed before marriage...

"..."

Cold sweat poured down his face, and Aibo didn't dare to pull his hand away to wipe it.

Levy's inner world is a bit too rich!

No—! That's not how a literary girl should be!

What kind of rubbish books has Levy been secretly reading all this time?! Someone, Sarang! Isn't anyone going to do anything about this?!

The short two-hour carriage journey was nothing short of torture for Abbot.

Until, in Levy's mind world, she and Abbott had just given birth to their eleventh child, and they finally arrived at their destination village.

"I...I need to use the restroom!"

Abbot disappeared from the carriage almost instantly, and his fingers were still trembling slightly even after he had escaped the mind-reading area.

I thought the side effects of mind reading were just a little annoying and not a big problem, but now I know I was wrong. Being able to hear other people's thoughts all the time is not a good thing. Some amazing people can ignore defenses and attack the mind directly!

How come I didn't know Levy had such a terrifying capacity for delusions after knowing her for two years? Is it because she never saw herself as a boy before?

But she's only a few years old! Where did she get so many bizarre novels and strange knowledge from? It's absolutely terrifying.

Hiss—learning complete control over telepathic magic is imperative!

Chapter 36 The Girl Who Devoured Demons

After recovering, Aibo returned to the village entrance and met up with the two.

At this moment, Levy seemed to have calmed down and stood quietly to the side, smiling sweetly like an elegant and beautiful young woman, showing no signs of anything unusual.

Noticing that Abbott was staring at her, Levy smiled and tilted her head, a question mark popping up above her head. What an adorable girl, who would have thought...

Sigh, sometimes knowing too much doesn't bring happiness...

However, Levy's mental state has returned to normal, so it seems that her "ghost brain" isn't always available.

Abbot breathed a sigh of relief. He wasn't even sure he could withstand that level of mind-piercing demonic sound again. Levy was terrifying.

"This is a commission initiated in the name of the village, so let's go find the village chief first."

Abbo said nonchalantly, without offering much explanation for his sudden departure.

"Yes, I hope this request goes smoothly!"

The three entered the village, only to find it deserted. Aibo listened carefully, then frowned.

"The villagers have all gathered in the south, where..."

…It seems like something bad is happening.

…………

"Get out—!"

"That guy's possessed by a demon! How long does he plan to stay in the village?!"

"Demon! Get out of the village!"

When Aibo and his two companions arrived at the southernmost part of the village, they saw a group of villagers surrounding a house, shouting insults and throwing stones at the windows. The scene was extremely unsightly.

"Huh? The demon in this village is locked up in a room? And being bullied by the villagers? Such a weak demon, even if we make a contract with him, it won't do any good, right? Abbot... wait a minute? What's wrong with you?"

Kana looked at Abbott and saw that Abbott's brows were furrowed and his lips were pressed into a thin line. She knew that this was how Abbott showed when he was angry.

"These ignorant villagers..."

Aibo had just learned the general outline of what had happened from the villagers' voices. They were actually bullying several innocent children. Considering the current situation, he could even guess the truth of the case.

Uncivilized humans are truly ignorant and foolish.

Just then, a little girl suddenly opened the window and shouted at the top of her lungs towards the villagers:

"Stop! It was Mira who destroyed the demon that was haunting the church! She's the one who protected the village! You've gone too far! Mira was possessed by the demon because she defeated it! Mira did nothing wrong! She did nothing wrong!!"

The villagers were intimidated by the girl's imposing presence and remained silent for a moment, the air becoming still.

Just then, a bright light suddenly shone from above everyone's heads!

A giant of light, tens of meters tall, suddenly appeared above everyone's heads. Its giant, egg-shaped eyes looked down at the villagers, and the oppressive aura of the behemoth frightened the villagers into not daring to move.

Then, a solemn voice, like the chanting of Brahma, resounded in everyone's minds:
