Fairy Tail: Magic is not such an inconvenient thing.

Unfortunately, Zoth, the guild's new recruit, didn't catch up with Natsu. Natsu had barely heard the beginning of the story before he disappeared.

Zos looked a little embarrassed, but his friends were all laughing at him.

"Hahaha, Zoth, you're dead meat. If you don't explain this clearly, Natsu will definitely beat you up when he gets back. Just wait to be on the dueling field, ahahahahaha."

"Who knew he wouldn't listen to my explanation at all..."

Just then, Zos saw Abbott drifting by and, in desperation, tried to cling to him.

"Boss Aibo! Help me! Natsu is going to kill me!"

"Huh?"

It only took Abbott a second to figure out what had happened:

"I see. So there's some guy calling himself the Fire Dragon impersonating Natsu? That's interesting. Lately, have more and more clueless guys dared to do bad things using our guild's name? It's good to have Natsu go and deal with it."

Bisca, who was sitting on the second floor peeking at Alzak, suddenly felt a chill.

"As for your matter, why don't you just send Natsu a message to explain? By the way, since he's already gone, let him take care of that guy who dared to impersonate one of our guild members."

"Oh yeah! There's a terminal! Look at my brain! Haha, as expected of Boss Aibo! You always have a way, thanks Boss!"

Just then, Mira's voice called from the second floor:

"Abbot~ The president is looking for you."

"They're here, they're here..."

When Abbo arrived at Makarov's office, he was surprised to find the old man not dozing off, but instead looking at a letter on his desk with a troubled expression.

In this day and age when magical communication terminals are becoming increasingly common, the continued use of letters to communicate is either a warning from the council or an exchange of important opinions.

"President, what is it?"

"Abbot, our guild is facing a small problem..."

Makarov tapped the letters on his desk and sighed heavily.

"The head of the Heartfilia family sent me a letter saying that his daughter has run away from home..."

Hafeteria's daughter? Isn't that... Lucy?

"and then?"

"Before she ran away from home, she said she wanted to come and join Fairy Tail."

"Oh, so what?"

"That's the biggest problem! The head of the Hafitria family instructed me to take extra care of this young lady. They've been our guild's partners for many years, and I can't refuse that request."

But...we don't know what kind of personality this young lady has. What if she's very willful and capricious? What if she wants to become a full member right after joining the guild? Everyone will definitely be unhappy, and that doesn't align with our guild's beliefs. But if I refuse..."

"stop."

Aibo raised his hand:

"President, you're overthinking it. You haven't even seen the person, so there's no point in thinking so much, but I think..."

As Abbo recalled the tragic failure of his first attempt to strike up a conversation when he was still quite naive, a joyful smile involuntarily appeared on his face:

"This young lady might get along very well with us~"

Chapter 124 Lucy Heartfilia

"Is this Magnolia?! It's changed so much since then!!"

The legendary woman, Fiore's wealthiest heiress, Lucy Heartfilia, stepped out of the magic train station, exaggeratingly breathing in the "big city" air, then jumped up and cheered:

"This is freedom! I've finally escaped that cage! Hahahaha!"

Passersby avoided the woman, who looked quite pretty but seemed to have some mental issues.

Lucy, feeling embarrassed, coughed and pretended to be nonchalant as she left the train station.

Then, he took out a map from the Fairy Tail card's spatial bag and headed straight for the Fairy Tail Hall.

Lucy had done her homework for this day. Over the years, she had endured humiliation and played the role of a good girl at home, secretly preparing the perfect plan before finally escaping home and heading towards her dream love affair.

Now that her long-held dream is about to come true, Lucy's excitement is beyond words.

Fairy Tail! Here I come!

"Hello~ Welcome to Fairy Tail. Would you like to post a request, take a look around, or report a complaint?"

"You are! The White-Haired Witch Mirajane! Kind to her comrades, ruthless to her enemies, the devil's mask and the angel's whisper, the most beautiful goddess ranked number one in the eleventh Fairy Tail female mage popularity ranking! I'm your fan, please sign this for me!!!"

Lucy had just stepped into Fairy Tail's clubhouse when she bumped into Mira, who was about to steal Erza's cupcakes. With hearts in her eyes, she pulled out her autograph book and approached her.

Mira was overjoyed by her little fan's exaggerated praise, and blushed, cupping her face in her hands.

"Oh dear~ the most beautiful goddess? I'm not that pretty~"

Mira had just taken the notebook and was about to sign it when the blonde girl in front of her vanished in a flash.

"You are! Fairy Queen Erza! The guild's unyielding shield, the invincible sword, the crimson rose blooming on the battlefield, the strongest queen topping the Fairy Tail female mage popularity ranking for the thirteenth time! I'm your biggest fan, please sign this for me!!!"

"..."

Mira smiled slightly on the surface, but secretly she was gritting her teeth. That wretched Erza, trying to steal my thunder again!

Wait, I'm going to eat all your treasured little cakes!

Before the two could react, the blonde girl ran out again.

"You are! Card Queen Cana! The one who single-handedly pioneered the path of dueling cards, the leader of summoning card magic! The card goddess who topped the Fairy Tail female mage popularity rankings for seven consecutive seasons! I'm your fan, please sign this for me!!!"

"You are! Juvia, the goddess of water!"

"Levy, the Fairy of Darkness who controls the Empire's treasury!"

"The Petrifying Witch Abba Grin!"

"Wendy, the Healing Angel!"

"Ah~~~ This is amazing! This is the promised land of my dreams—Fairy Tail! Please let me join the guild! Please!!!"

Another little fan? The guild members are used to it, but why does this female fan only remember the female mage's name? Don't we male mages deserve names?!

Gray throws off his shirt and makes a dashing entrance:

"Miss, nice to meet you. I am Ice King Ge from Fairy Tail—"

"Ah! Fairy Tail's strongest pervert, Gray!"

"?"

Loki pointed at Gray and laughed, and then Lucy recognized him too:

"Ah, it's Loki, ranked eighth on the list of 'mages who most want him as a boyfriend'!"

"That's right, that's right! Beautiful lady, would you be willing—"

"I'm so sorry, you're not my type. Please don't come near me, I'm sorry to bother you!"

"Hahaha, Loki, you've finally met your match!"

"Gray! You bumped into me! Be a man!"

"Oh! It's Elfman, the Beastmaster! I'm a fan of your sister Mira! Please get me an extra autograph!"

"?"

Lucy blinked:

"Are you guys about to start fighting?! I heard Fairy Tail has a Duel Arena! Can I watch your match later!?"

"..."

What's wrong with this newcomer? Why do I inexplicably feel like he's a monkey being watched?

"You bastard Gray, it's all your fault! You've ruined the reputation of all boys!"

"What?! What does this have to do with me?! You want to fight?!"

"Then come on! Be a man!!!"

The group of men glared at each other, clearly loathing each other, and immediately started fighting.

Although Lucy had somewhat expected it, she was still startled, her eyes sparkling:

"I heard that the Fairy Tail members express their feelings by fighting each other! New Era Weekly wasn't lying!"

Mira covered her mouth and stepped forward with a smile:

"It's been a long time since I've seen such an energetic newcomer like you. If you'd like to join our guild, please fill out this form."

"No problem, no problem!"

Lucy took the card and began writing down her personal information, while Mira watched with a slight smile.

"Lucy? What a cute name. Doesn't she have a surname?"

"Uh...does this really have to be written?"

"There's no requirement for that. It doesn't matter if you don't write it down. Our guild won't pry into your companions' past."

"That's right! That's right! This is our Fairy Tail! All done! Eh?! Danger—!"

As soon as Lucy looked up, she saw a bottle hurtling towards Mira's head. The next second, she saw the bottle shatter into powder under the pressure of a strange black aura.

Mira smiled and tilted her head slightly:

"what happened?"

"...No, it's nothing."

Lucy swallowed hard, shivered, and then felt even more excited. This was Fiore's strongest mage guild! So strong and cool! Awesome!

Lucy held up her "identity card" with great joy:

"So I'm a member of the guild now!? That's awesome!"

"Not yet~ You're only a prospective member right now, so you can't enjoy some of the guild's benefits yet, but you can receive a magic terminal..."

"Ah! No need for that, I have a communication terminal too!"

"Oh my, it's the latest model from last month. Lucy is quite wealthy."

"Haha, it didn't cost much at all."

"Another perk for new guild members is that they can stay in the girls' dormitory at half price. The monthly rent is 5 gold, but it will be free once you become a full member. Lucy, would you like to stay here?"

"want!"

Just then, Abbott, who had finished showing off all the afternoon tea pastries from the president, floated down from upstairs and immediately spotted that familiar blond hair. Oh, he had just finished chatting with the president and he was already here.

This seems to be my third "first meeting" with Lucy. How should I greet her this time?

Unexpectedly, Lucy blushed instantly upon seeing Abbot, and without a word, she grabbed Mira and ran off.

"Miss Mira! Could you please take me to the girls' dormitory? Please, please!"

This bizarre reaction piqued Aibo's curiosity, and he inadvertently began to speak telepathically, only to be startled.

Is he the man my father is going to arrange a marriage for me?! He's even more handsome in person than in photos... Did I reject him too soon? What should I do if I suddenly want to change my mind?

Aibo: ?

Chapter 125 Stupid Beauty Lucy

What does it mean?

Lucy's father wants Lucy and me to marry.

And then Lucy actually refused!

That is to say...

—I've been jilted at the altar!?
