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

After a while, Mirajane woke up groggily, her long eyelashes trembling, her eyes half-open and half-closed.

She reached up and touched the corner of her mouth, rubbing her fingers back and forth on her lips twice to make sure there was no saliva before letting out a sigh of relief.

He stretched, raised his arms above his head, arched his back slightly, and made a soft clicking sound in his joints. He looked like a cat that had just woken up, lazily stretching his body.

Turning around, I saw Wendy and Charlotte. Wendy was sitting on a small stool, and Charlotte was nestled on her lap. The two little ones were quietly looking at the bottles and jars on the medicine shelf.

"Huh? Wendy, Charlotte, what brings you here?"

Mirajane rubbed her eyes, her voice still soft and sleepy. She tilted her head and looked at them, her gaze moving from Wendy's face to Xia Lulu, then back again, her expression a little dazed.

"Sister Mira, we've come to ask Brother Riyao to help us complete our first commission."

Wendy stood up, her tone serious yet with a hint of expectation.

Mirajane slapped his thigh, his palm making a crisp "smack" as he landed. A slight smile played on his lips as he thought of an interesting idea. He raised an eyebrow and instantly switched from a sleepy state to a state of high alertness.

"I can take you there."

As she spoke, she patted her chest, giving off a "leave it to me" vibe, her eyes crinkling with a smile.

Why did you slap my thigh?

Sunrise was woken up by Mirajane's slap. His voice was muffled and he was grumpy from being woken up. He reached out and pinched Mirajane's face, pulling it to both sides. His fingers sank into Mirajane's soft cheeks and tugged at them.

Mirajane's face was stretched into various shapes. He snorted twice, reached out to slap Riyao's hand, but failed to slap it away after two attempts. So he simply grabbed Riyao's face and slapped it back.

"I learned it from you. I'm already awake, and you're still lying in bed."

Mirajane, with an air of self-righteousness, pinched Riyao's face and wouldn't let go, even giving it a gentle shake, smiling innocently as if she wasn't the one who had just slapped the wrong person's thigh.

Riyao scratched his cheek, his lips twitched, and he decisively changed the subject. He patted off non-existent wrinkles on his clothes and sat up straight.

"What were you just talking about?"

"Wendy is going to do her first appointment and wanted you to take her with you. I was thinking I might as well take Wendy with me."

Mirajane loosened her grip on Sunrise's face, straightened his disheveled collar, and smoothed it with her fingers along the edge of the collar.

"Yes, Mira can do it too."

Wendy nodded repeatedly, her little head bobbing like a chick pecking at rice.

"No, let's go together! How about we pick an S-level commission?"

Riyao suddenly perked up, and his eyes brightened.

"You scheming man! Wendy has never taken on any commissions other than medical ones before, and you come right up to an S-level commission."

Xia Lulu stood with her paws on her hips, her tail held straight up, and glared angrily at Riyao with her little face puffed up.

"What if something happens to Wendy?! You're such an unreliable mentor to this newcomer!"

The three people and the cat discussed it and decided that Wendy would go and see what kind of commission she wanted to take on, while Sunrise and Mirajane followed behind, and Charlene sat on Sunrise's shoulder.

Wendy stared at the task list, looking conflicted. Her little hand swiped back and forth on the task list, glancing at this and then that, her brow furrowed and her lips slightly pouting. She was clearly having trouble making a decision.

Riyao leaned closer, squinted, and scanned the list of requests. Then he pointed to one of the requests, his finger tapping softly on the paper.

"How about this one? We can go to the beach together."

Wendy looked up and saw the tallest commission form, which was pasted at the very top and had a beautifully drawn fish on it.

"Looking for the Dream Pearl Fish? A bounty of 10 J is offered? Is the bounty really that high?"

Wendy's eyes widened suddenly, her mouth opened slightly, and she tapped the number repeatedly to confirm it, as if afraid she had misread it.

Riyao wiped his drool, ran the back of his hand to his mouth, and his eyes became somewhat unfocused, as if recalling some wonderful taste. His Adam's apple bobbed slightly.

"This fish only appears in the southern waters during this season. It is very rare, extremely fast, and a bit clever. Most importantly, it tastes amazing."

When he said "it tastes amazing," his voice unconsciously lowered, and a wistful smile lingered on his lips.

"Has Brother Riyao tried it?"

Wendy tilted her head, while Xia Lulu rolled her eyes.

"Yes, I originally wanted to bring it back and raise it, but it died as soon as I wasn't careful. It was impossible to raise, so in the end I could only steam it and eat it."

When Riyao got to this point, his expression was one of deep sorrow, as if the loss of that fish was one of the biggest regrets of his life.

"But to be honest, the taste of that fish, wow, I still can't forget it. The taste of the fish was just like its name, absolutely dreamy. Everyone's taste is different."

Xia Lulu's beard twitched, she swallowed, and then immediately turned her face away, pretending that she wasn't tempted.

Wendy tore off the commission form and showed it to Makarov. She then ran up to Makarov with the form in her little hand and handed it to him respectfully, as if she were handing in homework.

"Hmm, this request is fine, but it won't just be posted in our guild; people from other guilds will also be requesting it."

Makarov took the order form, squinted at it, stroked his beard, handed it back to Wendy, and patted her little head.

"Be careful, don't get into conflicts with people from other guilds, but knowing that kid Sunrise's personality... never mind, you guys just have to be careful."

The group packed their luggage and set off.

When Lucy heard about the high bounty and Happy heard about the delicious fish, they both followed.

Gray, Erza, Natsu, and Juvia also joined in the fun, making the guild entrance as lively as a spring outing.

"Aren't you guys... that bored?"

Riyao stared speechlessly at the group, one hand on his forehead and the other on his hip, his expression saying, "I knew it would turn out like this." He sighed, his shoulders slumping.

Gray scratched his head, looking speechless. He held his bag in his other hand, the strap wrapped around his fingers twice, his expression awkward and helpless.

"I was forced into this. I was thinking of doing other commissions, but Erza dragged me here."

As soon as he finished speaking, Juvia pressed herself against him, her hands clasped in front of her chest, her cheeks flushed slightly, acting all coy and shy.

"If Lord Gray goes, I want to go too! Besides, the sea is my home turf."

Gray's lips twitched, and he took a half-step to the side, but Juvia pressed against him again as if drawn by magnetism.

Uru covered her mouth and chuckled. She gave Juvia a suggestion: just keep bothering Gray, he's shy and won't chase her away.

Lucy's eyes gleamed with gold, her hands cupping her cheeks, as if she were enveloped in the glow of money. Her mouth stretched to her ears, and she gestured with her fingers in the air as if counting.

"Two fish can pay my rent for three months, I have to catch a few! No, ten! Twenty!"

She became more and more excited as she spoke, her voice growing louder and louder until it was almost a shout, her eyes seemingly sparkling with gold coins.

Erza dragged a cart full of luggage, the wheels rolling rumbling on the cobblestone street. The luggage was piled up like a small mountain. She waved her other hand and spoke crisply and decisively.

"Hey, let's get going."

She paused, her gaze sweeping over the crowd, a slight smile playing on her lips, a hint of smugness in her expression.

(•̀⌄•́)

"I brought beach armor, fishing gear, and three swimsuits."

Harpy flew around excitedly, its little wings fluttering, circling several times above everyone's heads, its tail held high.

"Dreamy Pearl Fish! Fish! Aye!"

Natsu, carrying his luggage, danced around excitedly. The luggage bag swayed back and forth on his back. He raised one fist above his head and made a famous fishing gesture in the air with the other hand.

"I'm an exceptionally good fisherman! Ignir once praised me for it!"

Wendy smiled broadly as she looked at her noisy friends, covering her mouth with her little hands and giggling, her shoulders trembling slightly, her eyes curving into crescents.

"It seems like this is actually quite good."

Xia Lulu crossed her arms and looked dissatisfied, her little paws tightly on her hips, her chin held high, and her tail swishing irritably behind her.

"Hey! This is Wendy's first request, what's with all of you showing up?"

She glared at everyone, but no one took her protest seriously. Lucy was still calculating the rent, Natsu and Gray were still arguing, and Happy was still flying in the sky shouting for fish.

Mirajane jumped onto Sunshine's back, wrapped her legs around his waist, put her arms on his shoulders, rested her chin on his head, and patted his head, like riding a horse.

"Come on!!"

Riyao bounced Mirajane on his back, supporting her legs with both hands. He smiled helplessly, but the joy in his eyes was unmistakable.

"You're so carefree, where's your luggage?"

"On Erza's luggage mountain."

Mirajane pointed to Erza's mountain of luggage and smiled as if it were perfectly natural.

Sunlight glanced back at the small hill, then at Erza, secretly feeling that Erza harbored feelings for her Mira.

The group went straight to the dock to take a boat to their destination, chattering and making a lot of noise along the way.

Erza led the way, Natsu and Gray secretly nudged each other, Lucy kept talking about the exchange between rent and bounty, and Happy flew around Charlene, but was always ignored by her.

Wendy walked beside Sunrise and Mirajane, glancing up at them every now and then with a smile on her face.
