Fairy Tail: This Healing Mage's hits hurt so much!

At the bar, Lucy was, as always, slumped over the table, wailing.

"How am I going to pay the rent... I'm going to be broke again next month..."

Just then, the guild's wooden door was gently pushed open, and a petite figure walked in.

Her long, dark blue hair was tied into pigtails, swaying gently with her steps.

"Is Mr. Riyao here?"

Wendy's soft, sweet voice rang out, like cotton candy melting into the air.

Lisana's eyes lit up instantly. She put down the rag in her hand, rushed over in three steps, and hugged Wendy tightly to her chest, like she was hugging a plush toy.

"Little Wendy's here again! I really want to steal you away~ My brother-in-law's farming at the estate, do you want me to take you there?"

Wendy's face was covered by Lisanna's clothes, her cheeks flushed red, and she patted Lisanna's arm with her little hands, her voice muffled.

"Sister Lisana... I can't breathe..."

Lisana then released her grip and chuckled, "Little Wendy, want to join our guild? Our guild is so much fun, there's fighting every day!"

Wendy waved her hands and shook her head frantically, her pigtails swaying like rattles.

"No, no, the senior members of my guild are so kind to me!"

Following behind Wendy, Charlene crossed her arms and glanced disdainfully at the chaotic scene in the guild. Gray was shirtless again, Natsu was dancing on the table, and Cana was singing while lying on a barrel. She snorted coldly.

"Hmph, that scheming, dramatic guy is so lazy, he's actually farming? What a waste of his talent."

A blue figure flew over with a "whoosh." Happy's eyes were sparkling with hearts, its wings flapped like little fans, and it held a grilled fish in its paws.

"Xia Lulu! You're here! Do you want some fish? This is my favorite grilled fish! I specially saved it for you!"

Xia Lulu gave him a disdainful look, her nose wrinkling slightly.

I don't want to eat your greasy food.

Happy's heart shattered in two, but he quickly rallied.

"Next time I'll make it steamed for you!"

Xia Lulu ignored him and pulled Wendy's hand to walk outside.

"Let's hurry and find that drama queen. There's a shirtless pervert over there. Let's go!"

Gray's face turned red, and he frantically searched for his clothes.

"Where are my clothes?! Who stole my clothes again?!"

Natsu pointed at Gray and laughed.

"Hahaha! You've taken your clothes off again! You pervert!"

Gray threw a punch, Natsu dodged to the side, and the two immediately started fighting, damaging the tables and chairs.

The infatuated Happy followed closely behind Charlotte, and the two cats and one person arrived at Sunrise Manor.

Riyao squatted in the field, busy with his work. He held a small shovel in his hand and was muttering something to himself while working on a grafted fruit tree.

He was wearing a white vest, with a towel around his neck, revealing his lean arms, and beads of sweat on his forehead.

"To make apple trees grow mangoes that taste like peaches..." he muttered to himself.

Beside him, Mirajane, wearing a straw hat, sat in a wicker chair with a magazine on his lap and a fruit knife in his hand, slowly slicing a watermelon.

She cut off a slice and held it to Riyao's lips: "Here, have a bite~"

Without turning his head, Riyao opened his mouth and took a big bite. After chewing twice, his eyes lit up.

"Wow! This strawberry-flavored watermelon is really great! The sweetness is just right!"

Not far away, two cats and one person stood frozen in place, their eyes twitching simultaneously.

Xia Lulu's sharp-tongued rant.

"Strawberry-flavored watermelon?! What kind of evil research result is this?! What are you guys doing?!"

Wendy's deep blue eyes widened, her mouth formed an "O" shape, and she muttered something under her breath.

"Mr. Sunshine's magical research...how strange..."

Harpy had already flown over, grabbed a slice of watermelon with his paw, stuffed it into his mouth, and mumbled, "Sunshine! Next time, could you make a watermelon that tastes like black-backed bass?"

Sunlight packed up his tools, stood up, patted the dirt off his knees, turned around and saw Wendy, and smiled.

"Isn't that Wendy? Is she going to join Fairy Tail?"

Wendy's face flushed red, and she shook her head vigorously.

"No! I just came to ask a question!"

Luckily Wendy is young, otherwise Mirajane would definitely be jealous and beat up Sunlight. That man is always thinking about luring young girls into the guild.

Wendy heard the word "small" again, lowered her head, and muttered in a very low voice, "It will grow up..." Her voice was so soft it was like a mosquito's buzz, but Sunshine's ears still caught it.

He pretended not to hear, but Mirajane had already run over, hugged Wendy tightly, and rubbed his face against hers, tilting his straw hat to the side.

"Wendy's here again! Stay here tonight, I'll make you your favorite little cakes!"

Wendy blushed even more as she was enveloped in Mirajane's fragrance, her little hands unsure of what to do.

"Thank you... thank you, Miss Mirajane..."

Happy squatted next to the watermelon plate, eating as he said, "Sunshine, is the black-backed bass flavored watermelon really no good?"

Riyao packed up his tools, got up and walked towards the hut, casually tossing the shovel into the bucket by the door.

"If I can't do it that way, how about I sprinkle some cumin on it?"

As he walked, he pulled off his vest, revealing his lean upper body, with beads of sweat sliding down his back.

"I went back and took a shower. I was all sweaty and sticky, and Mira wouldn't even put a patch on me."

Mirajane, blushing, kicked Sunrise's butt.

"Can't you be a little more mindful of your image! We have guests here!"

Riyao chuckled and slipped into the house.

Splash splash~ Drizzle drip~ Wash, wash~

The sound of running water came from the bathroom, and not long after.

Sunlight emerging from the bath.jpg

He changed into a dark green shirt, black shorts, and flip-flops, and walked out with a slapping sound.

Her hair was still wet, and water droplets dripped from the ends of her hair onto her shirt, leaving dark stains.

Mirajane's eyes lit up, like a cat spotting its prey, and he pounced, trying to rub his face against Riyao's sweaty face.

"Hehehe, little darling, let your big sister put it on you~"

Riyao nimbly dodged to the side and reached out to cover her face.

"Now it's my turn to complain about you; you're covered in sweat."

Mirajane relentlessly chased after him.

The two of them started circling around Wendy, one in front and one behind.

Wendy stood in the middle, her eyes sparkling with excitement. She held her forehead with her little hand and stumbled a couple of steps.

"Mr. Sunshine...Ms. Mirajane...stop spinning...I...I'm so dizzy..."

Poor Riyao ended up getting covered in sweat from Mirajane's touch. The moment he stopped, she grabbed him from behind, pressed her face against his, and smiled triumphantly.

Mirajane went to take a bath, completely satisfied, while Sunshine looked at the mischievous Mirajane with a mixture of helplessness and indulgence.

...

Under the sycamore trees, stone tables and benches stand quietly in the dappled shadows.

Riyao sat on the stone bench, crossed his legs, and shook them back and forth. He even put on gold-rimmed glasses to look like a scholar, and tapped his fingers lightly on the table.

"Little Wendy, is there a problem with your visit this time?"

Wendy pulled out a huge book and slammed it on the stone table with a "bang," causing the teacups on the table to jump, and Happy and Charlotte were directly blasted into the air.

"Where did you pull such a big book out from?!"

Lucy's voice came from the side. She stared wide-eyed at Wendy in disbelief.

Natsu and Gray had just finished "cuddling" at the guild when they discovered Happy was missing. Lucy, who was also curious about what Sunrise Manor was like, decided to have Natsu bring him along.

It's more like a farm than a manor, but much more luxurious.

The cobblestone path is lined with lavender and roses, the orchard is full of oddly shaped fruits, and there is an exquisite fountain in the distance.

In Lucy's eyes, it was a combination of a manor and a farm, but with an indescribable elegance.

There was no way around it; Riyue was built according to the old-fashioned resort model, which in their eyes was a combination of manor and farm.

Natsu held a bunch of grapes in his arms, tossing them into the air one by one, then tilting his head back to catch them with his mouth, chewing them until the juice splashed everywhere.

"Mmm! These grapes are so sweet!"

Wendy opened the book, pointed to the magic circle diagram on it, and began to ask Sunshine questions about healing and enchanting magic.

Sunlight pushed up his glasses, picked up a twig, drew a magic circle on the ground, and began to explain it to Wendy.

"This pasta should be mixed with No. 42 concrete, because the length of this screw can easily and directly affect the excavator's torque..."

As Riyao drew, he talked, the branches drawing smooth lines on the sand.

Wendy nodded as if she understood, her deep blue eyes sparkling with a thirst for knowledge.

Happy and Natsu, who were listening nearby, were getting sleepy. Happy was lying on the stone table, his eyelids getting heavier and heavier.

Natsu yawned, spitting grape seeds all over the ground; Ignir's teaching qualification was still gaining value.

Lucy leaned closer, trying to learn something new, but the magical terms were like gibberish to her, leaving her completely bewildered. She could only secretly jot down a few keywords in her notebook.

Mirajane walked over with a dessert in hand; the mango cake was garnished with fresh mint leaves and smelled wonderful.

Xia Lulu gracefully scooped up a piece with a small spoon and savored it.

Sunrise and Wendy finally finished speaking, and Lucy raised her hand like a primary school student, still holding a pen in her other hand, her eyes sparkling.

"Sunlight Teacher! Baruka said you know how to wear the Celestial Spirit Robe, could you teach me some tips?"

Riyao pushed up his glasses, the lenses reflecting a white light, his tone flat.

"Barugo probably already said your magic power is too low."

Baruga appeared out of nowhere, dressed as a maid, bowed slightly, and then nodded expressionlessly.

"Your Highness, do you think there's any shortcut we can take here, sir?"

Lucy's face flushed instantly, her fingertips pressed together nervously, gently poking back and forth, the sound growing softer and softer.

"I...I just wanted to ask...is there...a way that doesn't require so much magic..."

Mirajane walked over, gently patted Lucy's shoulder, and said softly, "It's alright, your magic power is already half of mine when I first awakened my magic."

Lucy was stunned for a moment, then burst into tears and hugged Wendy tightly.

"Why am I so weak! I'm not even half as strong as Mirajane when she was a kid! Waaaaah..."

Wendy was breathless from Lucy's embrace, but she still gently patted Lucy's back to comfort her.

"It's alright, Miss Lucy, you'll grow up eventually..."

As she spoke, Wendy's voice trailed off. She looked down at her flat chest, her eyes dimming, and murmured, "I guess I'll... grow up eventually..."

Mirajane and Sunrise exchanged a glance; they didn't have that problem.
