Fairy Tail: Starting with Fairy Queen Erza

Page 26

"You're really in a bad way, you missed the exciting battle this morning."

After Cana finished speaking, she couldn't help but feel sorry for Gray.

"Why do you think Gray comes to the guild so late every day?"

"Grey will not only prepare breakfast for you, but he will also be responsible for cleaning up the dining room and washing the cutlery after you finish eating!"

"Besides that, I also have to clean your rooms and wash your clothes regularly. If you were half as sensible as Gray, I would have a lot less to worry about."

Ian looked at Kana and said in a cold voice, "I am talking to her."

That being said, Gray still cleans Ian's room...

So, Gray is truly a sensible and well-behaved child.

It would have been even better if Gray hadn't just gone out in his underwear this morning, and hadn't swaggered into the guild without a care in the world...

Yes, Gray, who was sitting next to Cana at that moment, was only wearing his underwear.

"Speaking of which, Gray, where are your clothes?"

Kana suddenly remembered something and looked at Gray to ask.

"Um?!"

Upon hearing this, Gray subconsciously looked down and, upon discovering his naked body, his expression changed drastically. He exclaimed in horror, "Oh no! When I was doing laundry this morning, I took off the clothes I was wearing and threw them into the washing machine."

"Just buy one more..."

Ian responded generously to this.

There's nothing we can do about it; he made a fortune today!

noon.

Ian, along with Gray, Erza, and Cana, headed straight for the restaurant.

After they had a hearty meal, Ian suddenly frowned and muttered to himself, "I feel like I've forgotten something? Oh well, it doesn't matter if I can't remember."

Perhaps Ian was used to having three children around him, because when he realized that the number of children was not missing, he yawned and prepared to go back to take a nap.

"..."

Thus, after being knocked unconscious by Erza, Natsu also accomplished the feat of going hungry at noon.

A world where only Natsu is injured has been born once again.

in the afternoon.

When Ian returned to the guild with the children after his afternoon nap, he saw Natsu slumped over the table, seemingly about to faint from hunger.

"Ah! I forgot about Natsu."

At this moment, Ian finally showed a look of realization.

"Ian, you're back?!"

Just as Ian was about to have Erza and the others take Natsu to town to fill their stomachs, an old voice suddenly rang in Ian's ears...

"Oh?"

Ian looked up and saw a huge shadow radiating an extremely oppressive aura appear in the guild, greeting him in a deep, booming voice.

"Okay, so big..."

"Is this the enemy?"

"What an immense sense of oppression!"

"His strength is in no way inferior to that of the captain of the mobile squad under my mother's command."

Upon seeing this, Erza broke out in a cold sweat and instinctively drew her knight's sword from her waist.

"Erza, calm down! This isn't an enemy; he's my benefactor!"

"At the same time, he is also the president of our Fairy Tail guild."

"At the same time, he is also the ten strongest archmages on the continent of Ishgar, selected by the Magic Council, and is known as the Ten Holy Archmages!"

"You can just call him Grandpa..."

After Ian stopped Erza from swinging her knife, he introduced Old Ma's identity with a smile.

"Not an enemy..."

"Is that the chairman, Grandpa?"

Upon hearing this, Erza put away her weapon.

"Grandpa, stop scaring the newcomer! Change back quickly!"

After calming Erza down, Ian looked up at Guild Master Makarov and said helplessly.

"Haha! I heard that the newcomer who joined the guild this time is exceptionally strong, and actually defeated that arrogant brat Laxus..."

"So, driven by curiosity, I just wanted to tease you."

As Makarov spoke, his body slowly shrank until he became a withered old man dressed in a comical circus clown costume.

"Hey! Please take care of me from now on!"

Makarov stood in front of Erza, a kind smile on his face, and waved.

"Okay, so small!"

Erza stared in astonishment at the tiny old man who was even shorter than her. She couldn't reconcile the image of this elderly man, who was much smaller than her, with the enormous, mountain-like figure she had just witnessed.

"Where is Laxus?"

Ian then looked around and asked Makarov.

"Laxus was yelling angrily just now..."

"You made him work hard to practice Dragon Slayer Magic, but you didn't tell him that Dragon Slayer Magic has a huge flaw: it can cause motion sickness..."

"He took on more than a dozen A-level missions and went out to cultivate."

Makarov, with his hands behind his back, looked at Ian and explained.

"is it?"

Upon hearing this, Ian gently scratched the end of his hair...

In fact, the magic he invented, specifically designed to target dragon slayer mages, was not invincible.

At least the invincible Acnologia had come up with a way to break it...

Ian originally intended to tell Laxus about this method...

It seems we'll have to find another opportunity now, which is a real shame.

“Ian…”

Just as Ian was feeling sorry for Laxus's impatience...

Makarov looked at Ian and said seriously, "I have something very important to discuss with you. Come with me for a moment."

"whats the matter?"

Ian squinted; his intuition told him that Old Ma's visits to him alone were never for anything good.

"You'll find out when you get here."

Without saying a word, Makarov pulled Ian toward the guild's basement.

"Could it be..."

"Guild Master Makarov intends to entrust me with the guild's top secret, the Fairy Heart?! What right do I have to do this?"

Although Ian already knew what Fairy Tail's top secret was, he was still very happy to be trusted by Makarov, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

"Erza, Cana, and Gray, wait here for me. I need to discuss some important matters concerning the future direction of the guild with the guild leader."

As Ian spoke, he followed closely behind Makarov...

First, they entered the guild's general storeroom, and then, after some fussing by Makarov, they opened the door to the guild's basement entrance.

"I never expected the guild to have a place like this?!"

Ian muttered to himself, deliberately feigning shock, but in reality, it was all within his expectations.

However, just when Ian thought Makarov would lead him all the way to the room where the body of the first chairman, Mavis, was placed...

Makarov suddenly stopped and murmured, "Here, no one should bother us!"

"what?"

Upon hearing this, Ian frowned, a sense of foreboding creeping into his heart.

"Ian, help me!"

Before Ian could think, Makarov instantly knelt down in front of Ian, hugged Ian's leg tightly, and cried and begged with snot and tears streaming down his face, "Right now, you are the only one in the entire Fairy Tail guild who can save me!"

"what?"

Ian paused for a moment, then yanked the Makarov shirt off his trouser leg...

Then, looking at Makarov, he asked, "President, please don't be anxious. Please tell me what exactly happened."

"Yes, you should know Ian..."

"Wasn't I at the Fiore Kingdom's Light Mage Guild President's Meeting?!"

Makarov knelt on the ground, like a schoolboy who had made a mistake.

"and then?"

Ian crossed his arms in front of him, his gaze toward Makarov carrying a hint of scrutiny.

"Then, I had a little bit of wine..."

Makarov spoke as if squeezing toothpaste, his head bowed.

"What happens next?"

Ian continued to ask.
