Yefrit and Mirajane were wearing matching hunting outfits.

The two stood in front of the mirror, posed for a few photos, and then took a picture.

"Put on your hat and scarf first," Mirajane reminded her.

"Yes—" Everyone nodded.

"Let's go!" Yefrit ordered, and the group set off.

Outside the yard.

'Da da da'

Sidrina arrived just in time and saw Yefrit and Mirajane wearing matching outfits, but made no comment.

Having grown up in an aristocratic family, she was already mentally prepared for this kind of thing. And she was very confident that she would win!

“Miss Mirajane, Miss Dove, Miss Wendy, can you ride horses?” Sidrina asked.

"Yes, I will." Mirajane smiled, watching the maid lead the horse over, then swung herself onto it with a graceful movement.

“I can do it too,” said Izayoi, her movements becoming even more efficient.

"I don't know," Wendy said, a little embarrassed.

“It’s alright, take your time learning, Miss Wendy,” Sidrina said with a smile.

With the help of the maid, Wendy also got on a horse.

The horse won't be allowed to run in the city, so you can let Wendy get used to riding it for a while.

The horse was docile, and someone was holding its reins.

Wendy, after all, was a mage who had weathered many storms, so she wasn't overly timid and quickly mastered some techniques.

Chapter 212, Trouble is Coming

For noble ladies, hunting involves relatively little luck.

The location is in a mountain outside the city.

Mages have been hired to scout ahead to ensure there are no powerful demons or monsters.

Let's look at the number of prey.

After all, most animals don't like to go out in the dead of winter.

So, we need to put some in first.

This is not much different from fishing in a fishpond.

This is something Yefritte actually quite likes.

Because he doesn't like running up and down mountains and crossing rivers, only to end up with nothing, like fishing.

Of course, fishing doesn't require any action; you can just sit there, eat snacks, read a book, and wait for the fish to bite.

But hunting is not an option.

Even sitting on horseback for a long time will make your butt hurt.

You should know that he rarely rides a horse when he goes out.

“Mr. Yefrit, it’s surprising how absent-minded you can be.” Sidrina rode alongside him, observing Yefrit for a long time, and noticed that he was staring straight ahead without blinking, as if he were in a daze.

Yefried smiled when she heard this.

“Miss Mirajane,” Sidrina turned to Mirajane again and said, “Want to have a competition? Let’s see who can hunt more game?”

"No, thank you." Mirajane smiled and shook his head. "I am not a nobleman, and I have never practiced hunting with a gun. I am not very good at it."

“That’s a real shame,” Sidrina said.

She then looked at Wendy and said, "Miss Wendy, are you settling in alright?"

Wendy didn't know how to ride a horse before, but as a Dragon Slayer Mage, her physical abilities, while seemingly inferior to Natsu and the others, were actually far superior to ordinary people. In terms of coordination, she was top-notch.

So, on this stretch of road, she went from not knowing how to ride a horse to gradually becoming proficient.

Wendy nodded and said very politely, "I've gotten used to it."

"That's good." Sidrina nodded.

At this moment, the dove gently kicked Mirajane, and seeing her turn her head, it leaned over and whispered, "She's acting like a mistress now."

Mirajane smiled, unconcerned. It was useless; Yefrit wasn't so easy to win over, and even getting this guy interested was extremely difficult.

If it were a typical young man, being approached by a beautiful woman, smelling her fragrance, and hearing her gentle voice, he would most likely feel a flutter in his heart.

Koyeflit, huh?

He stared blankly ahead.

I'm spacing out again.

What was he thinking?

The dove thought Mirajane knew Yefrit well, but Mirajane himself knew that while Yefrit's personality was relatively easy to figure out, his inner thoughts were truly difficult to guess.

This is also part of Yefrit's charm. I wonder if she will ever be able to truly connect with Yefrit on a brainwave level in her lifetime.

'rustle'

Suddenly a sound came.

The group immediately became more alert.

Yefried, who had been in a daze, also came to his senses. He instinctively raised his spear, and without even looking, he swung it backhand.

'boom'

Beside the tree roots in the distance, a snow-white ball was quickly stained red.

"Mr. Yeffert, what excellent marksmanship!"

The servant praised it, then quickly ran over and returned carrying a creature that looked somewhat like a rabbit.

"Hmm." Yefrit didn't seem to care much.

Sidrina, however, looked serious.

While we know Yefrit is a good shot, this is a bit of an exaggeration!

Sidrina was unaware of Yefrit's past, and her marksmanship and accuracy were not particularly outstanding in a mage's battle.

Natsu can breathe fire in an instant, striking multiple targets moving rapidly through the air.

Gray, Gajeel, and others can also do it easily.

For ordinary people, this is considered a high level of skill, but for elite mages, it's just basic skill.

Even Wendy, though a bit slower, is by no means much less accurate.

If Sidrina really came here with the intention of competing with everyone today, then she'll come in last place.

In fact, she was indeed aroused to compete, and thus paid more attention to her surroundings.

Been walking for a while.

More prey has appeared.

This time, Sidrina was extremely fast, but as soon as she raised her gun, a shot rang out.

She turned her head and saw a turtledove, who smiled politely at her.

Sidrina: "."

When Sidrina turned around, Mirajane secretly kicked Dove, telling her not to show off.

"But..." the turtledove wanted to say something more.

Mirajane shook her head. Seeing this, Dove could only sigh, "Miss Mirajane never likes to argue."

Wendy, who was behind, looked at the gun in her hand and slung it over her back.

Next, Sidrina stole the show and finally regained a lot of her confidence.

“Mr. Yefried, aren’t you going to shoot?” She refocused her attention on Yefried.

Logically speaking, this person is stronger than her, but he rarely makes a move.

"Ah," Yefrit laughed, "Why don't we rest for a while? We can have some barbecue then."

“Okay,” Sidrina nodded.

The guards cleared out an area and felled two large trees so that everyone could sit down.

"No need, I'll do it." Seeing the chef about to start cooking, Sidrina refused and then rolled up her sleeves and started cooking herself.

“Miss Sidrina, let me help you,” Mirajane said.

“Miss Mirajane, can you handle these prey? You seem like a very ladylike young lady, aren’t you afraid of something so bloody?” Sidrina asked worriedly.

Although Mirajane was not a noblewoman, she looked like a wealthy merchant's daughter—her skin was fair and delicate, and her fingers were as white and tender as scallion tips. Moreover, she had a gentle and virtuous temperament, unlike a girl who would handle prey and skillfully use gutting techniques.

Hearing Sidrina say that, both Dove and Wendy couldn't help but chuckle.

Mirajane. Afraid of blood?

In everyone's initial impression, Erza is the most violent.

But after getting to know her better, I realized that Mirajane was much more violent than Erza in a fight. At least Erza used weapons and had some skill, while Mirajane would just chase after people and punch them with her bare fists.

Of course, Mirajane's appearance is indeed very deceptive.

Mirajane smiled gently: "It's alright, or rather, I'm quite skilled at these things."

"I'll help too," said the turtledove.

"Then I'll have to trouble you," Sidrina said.

Three women team up to showcase their culinary skills.

Wendy, however, sat down next to Yefrit and noticed that Yefrit seemed rather dazed all day.

Even though Yefritte does sometimes space out, it happened more often today.
