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

Sunlight crouched down and reached out to stroke Sunlight's head. The golden retriever's fur had a naturally soft feel, and it was surprisingly pleasant to touch.

The golden retriever, Sunshine, squinted comfortably, its tail wagging like a propeller.

"Wow, I never imagined I'd be a golden retriever in Edolas, and a pretty soft one at that."

The golden retriever barked a few times and stuck out its tongue to lick Riyao's palm, making Riyao pull his hand away from the ticklish sensation.

Lisana glanced at Sunrise, then at Natsu and the others, her brows furrowing deeper and deeper. She crossed her arms and stared at them with a sharp gaze, as if she were interrogating a criminal.

"So who exactly are you? Where did you come from? This Natsu who's got guts is definitely not the Natsu we know. He's too audacious."

Sunlight then noticed Lisana, his eyes lit up, and he stood up to look her up and down.

"Hey, isn't this Lisana? You're doing pretty well."

Lisana felt that this person was unreliable. Even though it was a very serious occasion, he spoke as if he had bumped into an old friend on the street.

Sunburst was surrounded by all the guild members, dozens of eyes staring at him with curiosity, wariness, and confusion.

He covered his face with his hands, fidgeting awkwardly.

"Oh dear, why are you all looking at me like that? It's so embarrassing."

"Hey, Mira, the gentle and sweet Mira, let me see her."

Riyao leaned close to Mirajane, bent down, and almost pressed his face against hers, looking her over from left to right, marveling at her.

"She really is a gentler version of Mila. Her smile is so innocent, completely different from our Mila."

Mirajane was bewildered by Sunshine's antics. She took two steps back, her cheeks slightly flushed, and her hands unconsciously twisted the straps of her apron.

"Um...you're too close..."

Lisana immediately stood in front of Mirajane, like a mother hen protecting her chicks, glaring at Sunshine.

"Hey! What are you trying to do to my sister? Stay away from her!"

"I'm just looking, it's not like I'll lose a piece of my flesh."

Sunrise raises its hands to indicate that it is harmless.

"You still haven't said who you are?"

Seeing that things were not going well, Xia Lulu tried to grab Happy and run away, already taking two steps towards the door.

Riyao shrugged, speaking casually as if he were chatting.

"We are members of the Fairy Tail guild. Hey, hold on a minute."

He noticed the wariness of the Edolas members, pulled down his collar, and revealed the guild crest on his chest.

"To be precise, we are Fairy Tail from another world, Aslant. You should know that your kingdom is plundering the magic of other worlds, right? Our companions were captured and turned into magic crystals."

Natsu suddenly rushed forward, grabbed Sunrise by the collar, and shouted anxiously.

"What did you say? Everyone else has been captured and turned into magic crystals? We need to hurry and rescue them! Mira, Erza, and Gray are all inside!"

Sunlight pried Natsu's hands off and pressed his shoulders down, forcing him back down.

"We don't even know where the capital is, so there's no use in you being anxious. They can't cut the magic crystal in a short time; that process takes time. We still have some leeway... right?"

The guild members of Edolas huddled together, whispering in hushed tones, occasionally casting complex glances at Sunrise and his companions.

Riyao continued to pet Riyao's head. The golden retriever was completely captivated, rolling over and letting Riyao scratch its belly, kicking its four paws in the air, and wagging its tail so that its whole butt was wiggling.

Good heavens, even an alter ego of someone who shouldn't exist has appeared.

Strangely enough, Xia Lulu and her mother both had precognitive abilities, yet they were not punished.

It's terrifying to think about; Edolas isn't a normal parallel universe.

This place is more like a sandbox world, replicating everything from Aslant and deducing something. Is it trying to create a world without dragons? Or replace them with weak transcendents?

However, it seems no one is maintaining this sandbox anymore, as the world's energy and magic resources are almost exhausted.

As Sunrise was letting his imagination run wild, the members of Fairy Tail in Edolas finished their whispers, and Lucy stepped out from the crowd with a serious expression.

"I'm sorry, we can't help you. We're barely able to take care of ourselves. You'll have to figure it out yourselves."

"I didn't expect you to help me. I can take over the entire capital by myself. Just give us directions."

Riyao stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the sky at a 45-degree angle, striking a pose of a hermit.

Lucy frowned and looked Sunrise up and down.

"You're really boastful. Although you can defeat Erza, there are still a large number of Kingdom troops and those Beyonders in the capital. It will be difficult for you to do it alone. Don't underestimate the power of the Kingdom."

Riyao's lips curled into a smile, and emerald green magic appeared on his hand.

The members of Edolas immediately changed their expressions.

Oh, that feels so good! This feeling of showing off is really awesome!

Natsu and the others were confused, not knowing what Sunrise was up to again, but judging from his blissful expression, they knew he was just showing off.

Lisana suddenly placed both hands on Riyao's shoulders with such force that Riyao swayed.

She leaned close to Riyao's face, her gaze fixed intently into his eyes.

Did you save me two years ago?

"what?"

"Don't play dumb!"

Lisana's voice trembled slightly.

Riyao pretended to be thinking, touched his chin, and tilted his head to think for a moment.

"Two years ago, I shot an arrow at the opening that was torn in 'Anima'. I gathered a lot of magic power at the time. I just wanted to try shooting something, but I ended up saving someone. It must have been around that time."

Lisana spoke up decisively, her eyes filled with a firm resolve as if she were making a decision.

"You saved my life, I'll go with you to the capital."

"You stay here and keep your older sister company. I'm just proving that I'm capable of taking over the capital (just showing off). I don't need anyone's help."

Lisana did not back down; instead, she took a step forward.

"No, I must repay you!"

Sunrise waved its hand.

"Oh, what's there to repay? I'm your brother-in-law. What's there to say about saving my own sister-in-law?"

The air suddenly became quiet.

The group from Edolas stood frozen in place, all turning to look at Mirajane, their eyes filled with shock and gossip.

Mirajane blushed under his gaze, covered her face with her hands, her ear tips turned pink, and waved her hands repeatedly.

"Why is everyone looking at me? It's not me... I... I don't know him!"

Natsu and the others turned around, their backs to Edolas's group, their shoulders shaking.

They couldn't hold it in any longer. Happy covered his mouth, laughing until tears streamed down his face, while Wendy buried her face in Charlotte's fur, her shoulders shaking like a leaf.

"Do you think Riyao's actions count as harassing another girl? If we tell Mira when we get back, will she punish him?"

"Aye, I think so, then we'll...hehehe..."

Natsu and Happy are plotting to make Sunrise suffer.
