Fairy Tail: Starting with Fairy Queen Erza

Upon hearing this, Natsu first stretched out his big, oily hands and gently touched his bulging little belly, weighed it slightly, and finally nodded in confirmation.

"Okay, okay..."

After the staff confirmed that the number of roast chickens Natsu had ordered was correct, they hurriedly headed to the kitchen.

"Head Chef, the guests at table A10 have ordered ten roast chickens."

After the server reported the number of roast chickens Natsu had ordered...

"What did you say? That table of guests ordered ten roast chickens?!" The chefs in the kitchen were stunned, their eyes wide with disbelief. "Is that child even human?"

after an hour……

"I'm full! I'm full!"

"Thank you for your hospitality, boss. I'll come again next time."

After Ian paid the bill, he left the restaurant with Natsu, who had finished his meal.

The chefs in the kitchen, including the owner of the small shop, all gathered around. They crowded around the table where Ian and Natsu had been sitting and looked at the small and large plates stacked one after another, each plate perfectly clean. Even the chicken bones had been eaten clean, leaving very little food residue. It was a table that had truly been cleaned up. They exclaimed in shock, "He actually ate it all! Unbelievable!"

"I remember that child from earlier, wasn't he a mage from Fairy Tail, the mage guild next door? Is that right?"

"I think his name is Natsu. He's a kid who joined the guild in the last year. From now on, whenever that kid comes to our restaurant, we'll give him a 50% discount..."

After thinking for a while, the shop owner said this.

"Eh?!"

The staff and chefs in the small shop were all shocked after hearing what the owner said, because their owner was known as a miserly person...

Forget about discounts; even the side dishes that other restaurants often give away for free are charged at their place. And they frequently deduct wages for various reasons.

"Don't you think that child seemed to enjoy his meal very much?"

As the owner spoke, a slight smile appeared on his lips. He ignored the staff of the small shop and walked towards the kitchen, leaving behind a group of bewildered waiters and chefs.

"Hey! Have you guys seen enough?"

"If you've had enough, get back to your posts and get back to work!"

Before anyone could think further, the shop owner's voice instantly resounded throughout the entire shop.

"Oh!!"

Upon hearing this, the staff dared not delay any longer and returned to their respective posts.

the other side.

"When you're full, your strength comes out."

"Hehe, let's go back and get some good training with Gray to help digest our food!"

Natsu patted his round belly and grinned, showing his front teeth...

He planned to go back to the guild and have a big fight with Gray.

"Oh!"

Thinking this, Natsu quickly walked to the gate of the Fairy Tail guild, kicked the wooden door open, and shouted, "Hey! Gray, let's have a duel!"

"Oh!!"

However, just as Natsu kicked open the wooden door, he happened to run into Makarov, the guild master, who was standing on the guild's platform, announcing something important to everyone in the guild. As a result, all the mages in the guild who were not out on missions looked up to the sky and let out a long cheer.

"So lively?"

"Has something interesting happened?!"

At this moment, Ian returned to the guild. Looking at the members cheering with their heads tilted back, he couldn't help but ask.

"Brother Ian, you weren't in the guild just now..."

"Just now, Guild Master Makarov announced that Fairy Tail's 24-hour rally will be held in a week!"

"And it is required that all guild members who are not on a mission must participate unless there is a very special and necessary reason..."

"Of course, that's not the most important thing. The most important thing is that the prize money for this year's 24-hour rally champion is a whopping one million J! Even the runner-up and third place winners will receive three hundred thousand and one hundred thousand J respectively. It's simply too luxurious..."

After Ian asked the question, the guild members excitedly answered.

"what?"

"Old Ma, you have money to give out bonuses, but not money to pay fines?"

Upon hearing this, Ian looked at Makarov on the distant podium with a murderous gaze and silently questioned him.

“Ian, you know…”

"The guild's assets belong to every single member of the guild, while my assets are only my personal assets. These two should not be confused."

"I really don't have the money to pay the fine..."

Makarov's gaze briefly met Ian's across the crowd, and he immediately understood something, lowering his head and muttering to himself.

And using telepathic magic, he kept explaining something to Ian.

"Fine, I'll let you off the hook."

Ian could only sigh helplessly and say nothing more.

"Cough cough..."

Makarov breathed a sigh of relief after finally explaining the money issue to Ian, and coughed lightly twice to clear his throat...

Immediately afterwards, Makarov, with a serious expression and adopting the demeanor of his former chairman, looked at Ian and continued, "Speaking of which, it just so happens that you're back, Ian! I happen to have a task here that I need you to complete."

This time, Makarov said it in front of everyone.

"Oh? What mission?"

Upon hearing this, Ian raised an eyebrow slightly and asked what mission Old Ma was going to send him to complete.

"An S-rank subjugation mission. It's said that wyverns have been spotted in the snowy mountains east of the Kingdom of Fiore. Coincidentally, we need the scales of these beasts for our 24-hour endurance race this year. With your strength, Ian, you should be able to return in a week, right?!"

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

"More than enough..."

Ian stretched his slightly stiff neck a little and smiled confidently.

With his current strength, looking across the entire continent of Ishgar, there aren't many creatures that can threaten him...

"Then I'll entrust this task to you."

Makarov looked at Ian with confidence in his eyes.

Old Ma is confident in Ian's abilities.

"Are we going to be separated from our father?"

Just then, Erza, who had been in the guild with her Fairy Tail companions, suddenly showed a disappointed expression. She had just reunited with Ian, and it hadn't even been a day before they had to part ways, which made Erza a little sad.

Ian naturally witnessed this scene...

So Ian looked up at Guild Master Makarov and said, "Guild Master, it's just dealing with some wyverns. It shouldn't be a problem if I bring some of my guildmates along, right?!"

"Whatever you want, but it's always better to be careful."

Makarov didn't say much about Ian's decision...

Makarov believed in Ian's abilities.

"What? Ian is going to take us on an S-rank extermination mission?"

"What are you talking about? This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to complete an S-rank mission with an S-rank mage from the guild!"

"Ian, take me there! I'm super useful!"

“Ian, let me go! I don’t want the pay, I just want to broaden my horizons…”

"Idiot, do you think you can beat a wyvern? And you still want a reward..."

As soon as Ian finished speaking, the entire guild descended into chaos.

"Then those whose names I call, come with me."

"Natsu, Gray, Cana, and Erza..."

Ian ignored the noisy guild and loudly announced the people who would be going on the mission with him.

"what?!"

As Ian finished speaking...

Gray and Natsu, who were playfully fighting, were slightly taken aback at first, then simultaneously reached out and tore at each other's cheeks, shouting almost in unison, "Ian, why did you bring this burden along?!"

"Huh? Can I go too?"

Within the guild, Kana was the only one who wasn't particularly interested in participating in S-rank missions, or rather, she didn't think she had a chance to complete an S-rank mission with Ian at all...

Upon hearing Ian's words, she froze on the spot, even spilling the red wine in her glass onto the floor due to her stunned expression and disbelief.

"Both of you, stop right now!"

"If anyone is a burden!"

"In my opinion, you two are both..."

Erza, with long crimson hair and wearing knight's armor, walked between Gray and Natsu on her own and forcibly separated them, then shouted angrily.

"Ah, Erza..."

Natsu looked at Erza with lingering fear. He was still somewhat traumatized by the punch Erza had thrown that morning. After all, the power of that punch had left him dizzy and he hadn't even had time to eat lunch. He almost fainted from hunger.

"Gentlemen, let's prepare to depart!"

After announcing the list, Ian looked at everyone present and spoke softly.

Chapter 27, "A World Where Only Natsu Is Injured," is complete!

Erza, Natsu, Gray, Cana...

These children are the future of Fairy Tail guild.
