Riyao walked to a door at the end of the corridor, pushed it open forcefully, and with a screeching sound of the hinges rubbing together, a musty smell mixed with dust that hadn't been ventilated for a long time rushed towards him.

"Cough cough..." Gray coughed a few times, choked by the dust, and waved his hand to disperse the dust in front of him.

"This is your room." Riyao leaned against the doorframe and pointed to the inside of the room. "Please clean it yourself, and pay for any damage to public property. As for meals, you can go to the guild."

Gray slowly walked into the room, went to the simple wooden bed, and reached out to touch the rough sheets.

He turned around and looked at Riyao standing at the door and Kana peeking in.

Although Riyao always mocked him verbally, there was no malice in his eyes.

Although Kana always makes fun of him, she has accompanied him all the way here.

In this guild full of all sorts of eccentric people, he seemed to have found a strange sense of belonging.

"Thank you," Gray said softly, almost inaudibly.

"Huh? What did you say? Speak louder, I didn't hear you!" Riyao deliberately put his hand to his ear, making an exaggerated listening gesture.

"I said, don't stand in my way at the door of my room!" Gray instantly lost his composure, grabbed a rag from the table and threw it at Riyao.

Riyao easily dodged the rag by tilting his head, then turned and left with a big laugh.

"Alright, alright, you go ahead and clean up, you naked brat. Remember to come to the guild hall tonight; as a newbie, you'll get a 'warm welcome' from everyone!"

Cana waved to Gray, "Bye-bye, Gray, remember to find your pants first!"

Sunlight ruffled Cana's hair and said, "Don't follow his example, or Gildarts will beat us all up when he gets back."

Kana broke free from the clutches, made a face, and ran away.

The guild hall was brightly lit that night. As soon as Gray appeared, Makarov shouted, "Men! Let's get this party started!"

Sunburst cheerfully pushed Gray inside and led him to the children's table, where Cana and Levy were seated.

Strangely enough, Levy hadn't joined the guild yet, but she would come to read books every day. Just as she finished reading and was about to leave, Sunlight kept her there to celebrate with him.

"This is Levy Markugarden. She doesn't join a guild, but she comes here every day to freeload books. Isn't that really mean?"

"Sunshine Bro, I'll join!" Levy retorted, blushing.

"Oh? How about joining now? We can celebrate and have the banquet together."

"Grandpa, Levy is joining a guild!"

Levy reached out to stop him, but Makarov laughed and said, "Hahaha, great! Double happiness today!" The guild atmosphere reached a new high.

"Oh! Let's get this party started!"

"Bring up the good food! And the wine too!"

"Alright!! Let's toast now!! Let's party all night long!!"

"You bastard, why are you stealing my jerky?!"

"Bullshit, that's my flesh."

Everyone ate, drank, and joked around.

Sunshine squinted and chuckled. Cana and Levy shuddered at the sight. Gray put one leg on a chair and ate meat with gusto.

The next morning, as dawn broke over Magnolia, a thin veil of mist enveloped the quiet streets.

Sunrise got up early, took an unknown potion, and tiptoed into the guild hall, where several drunkards were lying on the ground.

Rubbing her little hands together, she approached them step by step.

Riyao crouched down, his movements practiced and ruthless. He grabbed Macao's chin with his left hand and poured the viscous liquid into him without hesitation.

Then, he did the same thing to Wakaba, Nabu, and several other guild members who were fast asleep.

After filling each test tube, he quickly put away the empty ones and, like a nimble cat, slipped away to the doorway leading to the backyard.

「这次清醒药剂,特别做成草莓口味。10、9、8、7......1。」

Screams erupted from the guild hall.

"Ugh, what's that smell? Ugh!" Macao suddenly sprang up from the ground, his eyes bulging and bloodshot.

"It's definitely that brat Riyao! Ugh~"

Wakaba rolled wildly on the ground, his snot and tears streaming uncontrollably, mixing with pink foam overflowing from the corners of his mouth, making his face a complete mess.

"Get my tongue off, quick, vomit!"

Nabu knelt on the ground, desperately digging into his mouth with both hands, trying to scrape away the taste that was like a bone-deep infection.

"Why does it taste kind of good? No, it's disgusting... no, it's delicious. Ugh~"

(×﹏×)

Ignoring the noise in the guild hall, Sunburst looked at Kana in the backyard and gave her a gentle smile.

Kana saw it clearly and trembled with fear.

"Brother Riyao... Riyao..."

Kana's voice was clearly choked with sobs, and she unconsciously shrank to the edge of the bench, trying to distance herself from this smiling devil.

"This medicine...it won't be used on me, will it? No way? Absolutely not! I didn't drink any alcohol last night! I swear I only drank juice!"

"How about I make you a banana flavor next time?"

Just then, the back door was pushed open again, and Gray, wearing only a pair of white boxer briefs, yawned as he walked out.

"It's so noisy... Is someone slaughtering a pig in the hall so early in the morning? The stench is unbearable..."

Gray rubbed his eyes and complained, completely unaware that there was a puddle of pink slime that Wakaba had just sprayed on the threshold.

Smack~

Gray stepped on the slime, slipped, and instantly lost his balance, falling forward.

"Wow!"

Sunlight reacted quickly, reaching out to grab Gray's arm and lifting him up.

Gray steadied himself, still shaken, and was about to thank her when he noticed that Sunshine had somehow produced another test tube in her other hand.

Good morning, Gray.

Sunshine's smile widened as he held the test tube to Gray's lips, his tone full of temptation.

"You look so listless. How about a sip of my newly developed 'energizing banana soup'? I guarantee you won't feel sleepy all day after drinking it."

As Gray stared at the yellow liquid that seemed to writhe with life, and smelled the strong odor of vomit mixed with strawberry essence wafting from the hall, his pupils instantly contracted to the size of pinpoints.

His beastly instincts kicked in at that moment, and he abruptly broke free from Riyao's grasp, staggering back three or four steps before his back slammed heavily against the brick wall in the backyard.

"You...you stay away! You perverted poison master!"

Gray pointed at the Sunshine, his voice distorted with extreme fear.

Watching Gray flee in panic, and seeing Kana beside him nearly scared out of her wits, Sunshine shrugged helplessly.

I stretched and yawned as the sun rose. A new day dawned, and the Fairy Tail guild was as vibrant and bustling as ever.
