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

When Sunshine switched to Protoss form, the earth beneath his feet seemed to come alive, with soil and rocks surging and undulating beneath him like waves.

He stood on the crest of the wave, speeding along like a surfer, leaving a long trail of dust behind him.

"Wuhu~"

The atmosphere at the Fairy Tail guild in the distance was completely different from usual.

Natsu stared wide-eyed at the guild members, his mouth agape enough to fit a fist. The scene before him completely overturned his understanding of his companions.

"Huh?! Everyone's acting weird. Are they even still from our guild?"

Wendy, Happy, and Charlotte were also very surprised. The three little ones stood at the door with their eyes almost popping out and their jaws nearly dropping to the ground.

When Lucy of Edolas saw them standing suspiciously in the doorway, she immediately raised her eyebrows alertly and strode over.

"Hey, who are you people?! Sneaking around like this, trying to steal something?"

Lucy squinted and leaned closer to observe the group, her gaze sweeping over Natsu's face. Suddenly, she grabbed Natsu's shoulder with such force that Natsu staggered.

"Isn't this Natsu? Where did you run off to? Take this!"

Lucy jumped directly onto Natsu's head, her legs tightening around his neck like a python, and her fists clenched as she drilled into his temples.

The movements were fluid and natural, clearly indicating that this wasn't the first time he had done it.

Natsu screamed in pain, flailing his arms wildly in the air.

"Ahhh! Stop! What are you doing?!"

Max and Warren of Edras stood to the side, arms crossed, nodding repeatedly with expressions of admiration.

"Oh, this is Lucy's 48 torture techniques, the strangulation head-pinching technique. It lives up to its name, executed flawlessly in one go."

"Yes, the height of the jump and the angle of the choke are both perfect."

Lady Kana of Edolas held a cup of black tea, sipping it slowly, and gently offered her words of advice.

"Oh dear, Lucy, don't bully Natsu too much."

When Habi saw the elegant lady Kana, dressed in a little dress and holding a glass of red wine, he was so shocked that his mouth dropped open and his jaw almost dislocated.

"I can't believe she's Kana. Back home, Kana are always seen chugging beer from barrels, never this ladylike!"

Elfman, who was being bullied by Jade and Troy, was crying loudly. He was squatting in the corner, covering his face with his hands, his shoulders shaking, and his cries were deafening.

Harpy exclaimed in surprise again, pointing his little paw at Elfman.

"It's unbelievable here, Elfman actually cries so much! Back home, he's always shouting 'A real man!'"

Jade and Troy yelled at Elfman, one with his hands on his hips and the other waving his fist.

"How long are you going to cry?! A grown man crying like that is so embarrassing!"

"Private Marseille"

Elfman sobbed as he apologized, snot bubbles coming out of his nose.

A spherical object appeared from the side, round and covered in countless layers of clothing. Upon closer inspection, Happy realized it was Gray, who was wearing an enormous amount of clothing!

He was wrapped up from head to toe, with only his face showing. He even wore gloves and a scarf, looking like a walking quilt roll.

Gray grinned and moved closer to Juvia, his tone sweet and cloying, almost like he was being affectionate.

"Anyway, it's good that everything's alright, right, Juvia?"

Juvia glanced at Gray with disdain, took two steps back, crossed her arms, and looked indifferent.

"Stop right there!"

Happy looked at Gray, then at Juvia, and the whole cat was completely bewildered.

"Grey is wearing so many clothes, and Juvia is actually disgusted by him? This world must be completely broken!"

Mirajane smiled gently at the bar, her smile as warm as the spring sunshine, as she wiped the wine glasses with delicate, gentle movements.

"Did Natsu bring back new friends? They all seem to be good kids."

Lisana slammed her hand on the bar, making Mirajane jump with a loud "bang," and she almost dropped her glass.

"Sis, you're being way too trusting! The people Natsu brought back look suspicious. What if they're spies from the kingdom?"

Lisana stood with her hands on her hips, staring at Natsu and the others warily.

This scene surprised Happy, Wendy, and Charlotte. The three little ones looked at each other, their expressions more interesting than the last.

"My God, I can't believe Lisana is like this. The Lisana we have back home is so gentle, and Mira looks much gentler than before. What kind of world is this...?"

Happy clutched his head, feeling like his worldview was collapsing.

Lisana's words drew the attention of others.

Levy glared at them, pushing up her glasses and her gaze sharp as a knife.

"Wait, is that a child? No, it's a cat!"

She pointed at Happy and Charlotte, her tone wary.

"How did someone who transcends become here?"

Edolas's Big Wendy looked down at Natsu and the others, arms crossed, chin slightly raised, her arrogant demeanor a world apart from Aslant's Little Wendy.

"Why are the Transcendent Ones here? Are you the kingdom's lackeys?"

When Wendy from Aslant saw Wendy from Edolas, she was completely taken aback. Her face turned pale and then red, and she opened her mouth.

"Why, why... how did I become like that..."

She looked down at herself, then looked up at her full and tall figure, and was plunged into self-doubt.

Xia Lulu's body tensed up.

Harpy, on the other hand, was quite carefree. He took off his mask, revealing his round head, and even waved his paw at everyone.

Hi everyone!

Mirajane crouched down closer to look at Happy, tilting her head with an innocent and curious expression.

"As expected, he looks just like the Transcendent One."

The members of Edras complained in unison, their voices perfectly synchronized.

"It doesn't even look alike!"

Lisana rubbed her forehead, looking utterly disappointed.

"Hey sis, you're so clueless!"

Only Elfman showed up; he wiped away his tears, sniffed, and nodded earnestly.

"Maybe it really is like what my sister said, they just look alike."

The people of Edolas accepted this explanation in a very short time; perhaps they did.

Natsu and the others huddled in a corner, chirping softly, their heads huddled together as if plotting something.

"Uh... Edolas's companions have all had their personalities reversed! Gentle became irritable, irritable became gentle, talkative became taciturn, taciturn became talkative..."

Natsu counted on his fingers, and the more he counted, the more his head ached.

Harpy came up with an idea, resting his chin on his two paws and rolling his eyes.

"Erza and Sunburst seem to be absent. What would happen if their personalities were reversed?"

Natsu immediately conjured up an amusing image, his mouth stretching to his ears, his eyes gleaming.

"If Riyao were in my shoes, he'd definitely call me 'Big Brother' respectfully, hehehe, bringing me tea and water every morning, bowing to me whenever we meet—just thinking about it makes me happy!"

Harpy also started daydreaming mischievously, wagging his tail like a rattle.

"Erza will probably see me as a senior too, hehe, 'Nice to meet you, Happy-senpai,' hahaha!"

Wendy was also lost in her daydreams, a longing expression on her little face.

Xia Lulu sighed, looking helplessly at the three daydreaming guys.

Lucy spotted Natsu hiding under the table, her eyes lit up, and she bent down and grabbed him.

"Hey, Natsu's been spotted! Hiding under the table won't help!"

"Hey, what are you doing! Let go of me!"

Natsu struggled desperately, but Lucy was incredibly strong, and he couldn't break free at all.

"Hehe, come try out my newly developed move!"

Lucy looked excited, her fist already raised.

"I told you to stop. If you don't know when to stop, even if you are Lucy..."

Natsu tried to put on a fierce expression.

"Hey, you've got some guts today, huh? Want to fight? Perfect for me!"

Lucy's smile grew even brighter, a smile so radiant it sent chills down your spine.

An elbow strike sent Natsu flying, his body arcing gracefully through the air before crashing to the ground.

Lucy walked over, plopped down on Natsu, crossed her legs, and completely subdued him.

"Hmph, you still want to fight me? You'll have to train for another hundred years."

Harpy asked worriedly, "Dajub?"
