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

Mirajane was strolling through the amusement area arm in arm with Sunrise when their eyes were suddenly drawn to a huge circular turntable in the distance.

Her eyes lit up instantly, and she grabbed Riyao's wrist, dragging him in that direction.

Lisana and Elfman were stunned for a moment, then quickly jogged to catch up.

Disco turntable!

A huge circular platform, surrounded by inflatable railings, spins faster and faster, and occasionally bounces up and down, throwing the people on it off balance.

It might not be particularly fun in itself, but Mirajane spotted a figure in the queue that instantly ignited her fighting spirit.

Erza stood at the front of the line, arms crossed, staring intently at the spinning wheel as if assessing a battlefield that needed to be conquered.

Mirajane's lips slowly curled into a dangerous smile as he released Riyao's hand.

She walked lightly up to Erza, tilted her head slightly, and spoke with undisguised provocation.

"Erza, let's have a contest to see who can stand the longest, shall we?"

Erza slowly turned her head, her gaze colliding with Mirajane's in mid-air, creating an invisible spark.

She snorted coldly and raised her chin slightly.

"Hmph, it must be me."

The two clashed again. The air was thick with tension, and everyone around them unconsciously took a half-step back.

Lucy and Levy happened to be passing by and, seeing this scene, curiously came over.

Lucy tugged at Layby's sleeve and muttered something under her breath.

"They're starting again."

Levy excitedly raised her hand and jumped up.

"We want to play too!"

Alzak, Jade, and Troy appeared out of nowhere, and as if they had radar installed, the three of them moved at the first sign of trouble, raising their hands and shouting in unison.

"We're here too!"

It's that damn competitive spirit, and those hormones that's sneaking around.

Everyone rushed onto the disco turntable.

The other tourists sat obediently on the edge of the carousel, holding onto the railing with both hands, ready to be tossed around.

The Fairy Tail group stood ramrod straight, feet shoulder-width apart, arms crossed or hands on hips, striking a pose that said, "Whoever falls first is a dog."

The tourists sitting nearby stared blankly at the group of people standing like statues, and a little girl tugged at her mother's clothes.

"Mommy, what's wrong with the older brothers and sisters?"

"Don't look at them, you'll get infected."

Lucy covered her face, not wanting to face reality.

With a crisp ringing of a bell, the turntable slowly started moving.

Everyone instinctively strained with their toes, gripping the ground of the turntable like eagle claws; their toes combined were enough to carve out a tower.

Natsu wasn't there, otherwise he probably would have collapsed by now.

The turntable spun faster and faster, and the centrifugal force began to pull on everyone's body.

The platform would occasionally lurch violently, as if a giant frog was hopping around underneath.

The surrounding tourists were thrown about, screams echoing everywhere.

The Fairy Tail group remained standing firmly.

Mirajah crossed his arms, his body slightly adjusting its center of gravity as the turntable swayed, his white hair fluttering up and obscuring Riyao's face.

A calm smile played on her lips as her gaze swept over the crowd and landed on Erza.

"Erza, I can stand here all day. You'd better give up now."

Erza stood with her hands on her hips, her feet rooted to the spot on the turntable, her body completely still.

She met Mirajane's gaze defiantly, a defiant smile playing on her lips.

"Hmph, Mira, you're still so stubborn. I'll definitely be the winner in the end."

Standing next to Mirajane, Riyao heard this and a slight smile appeared on his lips. He then interjected in a casual yet extremely serious tone.

"No, Mira's little mouth is so soft."

The air was quiet for a second.

Alzak and Bisca exchanged a glance, their faces turning bright red at a visible speed, reaching their ears.

Alzak stumbled, and Bisca covered her face with her hands.

The two shifted their weight at the same time and fell to the ground like dominoes, rolling onto the inflatable guardrail at the edge of the turntable.

(ﾉ∇︎〃 )(ﾉ∇︎〃 )

It's obvious that Elfman usually only trains his upper body and doesn't train his legs much.

His two untrained legs began to tremble uncontrollably, his knees shaking like a sieve.

He gritted his teeth, veins bulging on his forehead, trying to steady himself with willpower, but ultimately lost his balance and collapsed, tripping Lisana in the process.

Elfman lay on the edge of the turntable, pounding his fists on the ground, letting out a mournful cry.

"A real man must train his legs!"

"Brother, really!"

Kana had drunk quite a bit on the way here, and she was still clutching a bottle of liquor in her hand.

As the turntable spun and wobbled, the alcohol circulated faster in her body, making her feel dizzy and her vision gradually blurry.

She swayed twice, reaching out to grab Erza's clothes, but grasped nothing and collapsed limply to the ground.

Kana lay on the turntable, raised the bottle and waved it at Erza, then closed her eyes and started snoring softly.

"Erza, I can't take it anymore."

Jade probably found standing still too boring, so he started running on the turntable.

He started running, trying to counteract the rotational force of the turntable, but he only managed a couple of steps.

Troy was jolted by the turntable and swayed uncontrollably to the side, crashing solidly into Jade.

The two rolled around like bowling balls, flying off the turntable and crashing into the inflatable guardrail next to it.

Troy poked his head out from behind the railing and roared with a helpless expression.

"Why are you running, you idiot?"

Jed lay in the railing, looking up at the sky, his tone carrying a philosophical calmness.

"I was just bored."

Lucy and Levy are almost at their breaking point.

Their legs trembled like leaves in the autumn wind, and their hands waved wildly in the air, trying to grab onto something to maintain their balance.

Looking at their expressions, Riyao curled up a sly smile, lifted his foot, and lightly stomped on the turntable.

A barely perceptible vibration spread from Sunshine's feet, precisely reaching the soles of Lucy and Levy's feet.

"what!"

Levy slipped and landed hard on her bottom on the turntable, the pain bringing tears to her eyes.

"My butt hurts so much."

"Damn Sunrise!"

Lucy lay on the edge of the turntable, pointing a trembling finger at Sunrise, her eyes filled with accusation.

Riyao stood with his hands in his pockets, whistling as he turned his head to the side, giving off an innocent "I know nothing" look.

The spinning wheel slowly came to a stop. Only four people remained standing on the field: Erza, Mirajane, Sunburst, and Juvia.

Before anyone could be decided who would stand until the end, the spinning wheel had already stopped.

Mirajane puffed out her cheeks, jumped up, and climbed onto Riyao's back, wrapping her arms around his neck and resting her chin on his shoulder, her voice full of resentment.

"What a pity, Erza didn't fall down."

Riyao gently supported Mirajane's legs and carried her steadily on his back, turning his head to whisper in her ear.

"Then let's play something else to defeat her later."

Mirajane shook his head, his cheeks still puffed out, but his eyes had a new light in them.

She pointed forward, gently squeezed Riyao's waist with her legs, and shouted like a general giving orders.

"No way, let's go do something fun! Giddy up!"

Without saying a word, Riyao started running and even let out a horse's neigh.

The two ran along the stone path in the amusement area, Mirajane's laughter echoing in Riyang's ears, attracting the attention of passing tourists.

They hadn't gone far when Riyao suddenly braked and came to a stop.

Ahead, Thor and his two companions were gathered around a rocking horse.

To be precise, it was Philid sitting in a rocking horse.

The rocking horse is shaped like a pink cartoon pony, covered with colorful stickers. After inserting a coin, it starts rocking back and forth and plays a cheerful children's song.

Philid had a face so serious he could attend a funeral, his hands gripping the handrails of the rocking horse tightly, his body swaying back and forth with the rhythm of the ride.

A group of children surrounded him, looking up at the older boy sitting in the rocking horse with admiration, as if he were performing a remarkable feat.

"Hey, what are you guys playing?"

Riyao carried Mirajane on his back as he walked over, his mouth practically stretched to his ears in a wide grin.

Bigulus stood to the side, shrugged, and explained in a tone that said, "I'm helpless too, but I'm used to it."

"Felid suddenly wanted to try a rocking horse, a game for children, saying it was a way to toughen himself up."

Without saying a word, Mirajane reached into Sunshine's pocket and pulled out the magical camera he always carried. He aimed it at Philid on the rocking horse and snapped a picture.

The moment the flash went off, Fred's face seemed to tighten even more.

Mirajane put away his camera, patted Sunrise on the shoulder, and gestured for them to continue.

"Then you should train hard."

The four members of Riyao continued to stroll around the amusement area. As they walked, a gloomy haunted house appeared before them.

The exterior walls of the haunted house were painted in a colorful black, and several pumpkin lanterns hung at the entrance, their lights flickering on and off. Low, mournful howls blared from a loudspeaker.

Riyao tilted his head and looked at the entrance of the haunted house, his tone carrying a hint of eagerness.

"Why don't we go in and take a look? I'm quite curious what kind of ghosts are inside."

Mirajane slid off Sunshine's back and took his arm.

"I'm also curious to know. Let's go."

Lisana shrank back and hid behind Mirajane, clutching her sister's clothes with both hands.

"Sister, you have to protect me."

Sunlight immediately hugged Mirajane's arm even tighter, practically pressing his entire body against hers.

"No, your sister has to protect me."

Lisana stared wide-eyed at Sunrise's self-righteous demeanor in disbelief.

"Brother-in-law, where is your manly dignity?!"

Elfman scratched his head; that sounded like one of my lines.

Riyao rolled his eyes and hugged Mirajane's arm even tighter, refusing to let go no matter what.

Mirajane looked down at the two people clinging to him, smiled helplessly, and dragged the two "attachments," one big and one small, toward the entrance of the haunted house.

Lisana held onto Mirajane's other arm, while Elfman walked behind the three of them, acting as the rear guard.

He straightened his chest, trying to provide a sense of security to the three people in front of him with his large body.

As soon as the four entered the haunted house, a chilling air rushed towards them, and eerie green lights cast strange shadows on the walls.

Before I had gone more than a few steps, I heard a familiar shout coming from ahead.

Happy lay sprawled on Natsu's head, its paws gripping Natsu's head tightly, its tail wrapped around Natsu's neck, the whole cat trembling like a cell phone on vibrate.

"Natsu! There's a ghost on my right! Aaaaaah..."

Natsu's view was blocked by Happy, so he couldn't see anything and could only spin around in place by instinct, making "ah ah ah" noises.

Gajeel stood on the right, his expression shifting from confusion to anger, and finally to injury.

He pointed to his face and yelled at Habib.

"That's me on the right! Am I scarier than you?!"

Gray stood to the side, arms crossed, and replied expressionlessly.

"Otherwise what?"

The four members of Riyao stood not far away, silently watching this scene.

Lisana chuckled, and Elfman's shoulders trembled slightly.
