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

Sunrise and Gray unleashed a thrilling combination attack, simultaneously kicking the door, causing the hinges to creak in pain.

Makarov, who was behind the bar, instantly flew into a rage. The old man slammed his glass on the bar, his white beard bristling, and his roar shook the rafters so much that dust fell from the ceiling.

"Are you two brats crazy?! This door was only replaced a week ago! If you can't afford to pay for it, I'll nail you two to the guild gate as new decorations! The repair cost will be deducted from your commission bounty! Don't expect to get a single penny!"

Riyao tucked his hands into his waistband, held his head high, and exuded confidence that could lift the roof off the house.

"Fine, fine! Don't you know who Gray is? Do you think he'd be short of a little repair fee? Why are you afraid of being penalized, old man!"

Without a second thought, Gray followed up with a shout, his icy blue eyes wide: "Yes! We won't—"

No sooner had he finished speaking than he saw Riyao clapping his hands and laughing, not even stepping towards him, clearly leaving him in the hot seat while he slipped away.

Gray reacted instantly, his fists clenched so tightly they cracked, and he turned to glare angrily at the back of Sunshine's head, cursing.

"Hey, wait a minute, you bastard! How come this has absolutely nothing to do with you?!"

Upon hearing this, Riyao turned around and laughed so hard he clutched his stomach. He swayed as he walked, completely ignoring Riyao's angry glare. After laughing enough, he shook off the frizzy Gray and swaggered towards the bar.

His eyes were fixed on the red-haired girl sitting upright at the bar. He leaned over, tilted his head, and looked Erza up and down before turning back to wink at Makarov.

"Grandpa, is this the new girl you mentioned? Wow, her red hair shines like a burning flame, she's so pretty. Maybe I should dye my blond hair red too? It should look good then?"

Makarov gave him a light tap on the back of the head with his cane, then glared at him with a puff of his beard.

"You brat, you're always so irresponsible! Stop your nonsense and take a look at that little girl's eyes! If you can fix them, then do it!"

Erza, with a righteous expression, said dryly, "My name is Erza Scarlett, nice to meet you."

Riyao also said with a righteous expression, "My name is Riyao, I don't have a surname, please take care of me."

Upon hearing this, Kana, who was drinking juice at the bar, immediately spat it out and burst into laughter, clutching her stomach.

"Pfft, haha... Riyao, do you have to be like this?! You were so smooth when you were shifting blame and acting all cheeky just now, how come you suddenly act like a freshman being called to the principal's office! The contrast is too much!"

Her smile caused the guild members, who were already watching the spectacle, to burst into laughter, the sound almost lifting the roof off the guild.

Macao, who had just finished baking honey bread in the kitchen, brought over the hot baking tray. The tray shook so much that he almost spilled the whole tray of bread on the floor. He quickly steadied the tray, scratched his messy hair, and laughed.

"Absolutely! Who would have thought that the brat who was kicking down doors and destroying houses with Gray just now would be more reserved than a freshman entering magic academy when he introduces himself properly! Hahahaha!"

Gray, who was clenching his fists and glaring at Sunshine, became even more furious upon hearing this.

"You tricked me first! I was just standing up for you, saying 'You think you can mess with me?' and then you turned around and used me as a background character!"

Makarov chuckled and tapped his cane, silencing the noise in the room, before nodding to Riyao with his chin raised.

"Alright, alright, that's enough. Sunrise, quickly take Erza to the inner room for treatment, don't linger here."

Erza was a little stunned. Sunshine waved his hand in front of her eyes and said cheerfully, "Let's go to the reception room. My cooking skills are amazing. Everyone who has tried it says it's great."

He turned and led the way, with Erza following closely behind, her small hands clutching the hem of her clothes, her heart filled with unease, fearing that her hopes would be dashed again.

Before Sunrise returned, Makarov had already taken Erza to see Granny Porcyca, who said that the only thing they could do was replace her eye with a prosthetic one.

The two entered the reception room. Riyao closed the door behind him, turned the lock and locked it with a click, then rubbed his hands together with a strange, smirking expression, and slowly approached Erza step by step.

Erza had never seen anything like this before and panicked instantly. Her palms sweated, and she involuntarily backed away until her back was against the wall before stammering, "Hi-Hi-Hi-Senior! What...what are you doing! The Guild Master and the others are still outside!"

Seeing Erza's reaction, Sunburst laughed and said, "Just kidding. Go sit on the sofa."

"There are too many reckless people in the guild, so locking the door is to prevent them from barging in."

"Okay, sure."

Erza sat stiffly on the sofa, her hands nervously resting on her knees.

Riyao then walked over, leaned down slightly to get closer to her, and gently removed the dark eye patch she was wearing on her left eye.

He frowned and scrutinized her for a while, then gently waved his hand in front of her eyes before finally letting out a soft sigh.

Erza's heart clenched instantly, and her voice tightened.

"Senior Riyou, is it... still beyond cure?"

"Oh no, it can be cured, of course it can be cured."

Riyao looked up at her, quickly shook his head and smiled, his tone softening.

"I'm just moved by how you endured such a severe injury all by yourself until now. You must have suffered terribly back then, right?"

These words struck a nerve with Erza, who had been holding back her emotions for a long time. Her one good eye instantly welled up with tears, and large tears streamed down her cheeks. Her lips trembled violently, but she still shook her head.

"It doesn't hurt... It hasn't hurt for a long time. I was already prepared to get a prosthetic eye. Thank you so much, Senior Riyou... for being willing to help me."

With a click, Sunlight somehow pulled out a magical camera and took a picture of Erza's embarrassing moment.jpg.

Erza froze upon hearing the voice, while Sunburst acted as if nothing had happened, cheerfully saying, "Alright, stop crying. Tears will affect the treatment's effectiveness. Lie down."

"Um, Riyou-senpai, did you take a picture just now?"

(;ﾟдﾟ)

"Oh, those are photos taken during treatment for observation purposes later on. Don't worry about it, I would never show them to anyone else, really."

(・ω・)

Erza noticed his gaze drifting away unconsciously, a black line appearing on her forehead. She calmly said, "Sunlight-senpai, your eyes are wandering. Are you feeling a little guilty?"

"Haha, really? Okay, okay, lie down now."

Erza couldn't ask any more questions, so she wiped away her tears and lay down on the sofa as instructed.

Sunrise instantly dropped his playful grin, took out sterilized tweezers and a scalpel from his bag, and carefully cleaned the remaining blood clots and necrotic tissue from Erza's eye socket.

At the same time, it activates the healing magic containing immense vitality, gradually awakening the necrotic optic nerves and tissues in the eyeball.

Erza had prepared herself to tremble with pain, but to her surprise, only a faint cool sensation spread from her eyes, without any biting pain.

She hesitated before speaking, "Senior Riyao, I..."

Before he could finish speaking, Riyao interrupted him in a low voice. He was now completely focused on the wound, and his tone had become serious, with no trace of joking in his voice.

"Don't move around, save your energy. I can't chat with you right now, just wait patiently."
