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

Mirajane blushed as she recalled the somewhat comical scene between the two of them.

Actually, nobody knew about this...right?!

The warm light in the hall shone on the table, and several pairs of bright eyes stared at it.

Sunrise and the others all looked at Mirajane, their eyes filled with gossipy excitement.

Lucy leaned forward, Wendy held the spoon tightly in her hands, Levy propped her chin up, and even Sunrise raised his eyebrows with a mischievous grin on his lips.

"What are you getting involved in?"

Mirajane grabbed Sunshine's ear.

"It's impossible for me to say that; don't even think about it."

Riyao tilted his head and groaned twice, but his smile widened even more.

"Yes!" everyone exclaimed in unison.

Everyone in the room sighed in unison, their voices filled with disappointment at not getting any gossip.

Sunburst blended in, and Mirajane glared at him irritably; her ears were still a little red.

This idiot actually joined in the commotion, even though he was the one who started it all back then.

Mirajane picked up her water glass and took a sip, trying to suppress the heat on her cheeks, but a blush still crept up her ears.

"Rei-chan, you guys don't know either?" Lucy tilted her head.

Levy was known for her extensive knowledge in the guild; she knew all sorts of gossip and secrets. Lucy thought she might have some juicy gossip.

"I don't know. All we know is that the two were ambiguous at first, then they did a commission, and after they came back they were holding hands and showing affection. Nobody knows what happened during that commission."

Levy chewed on her chopsticks and recalled for a moment.

Back then, Riyao would spend his days lounging at the bar, drinking tea and dozing off, while Mirajane would get into fights everywhere. Whenever Riyao uttered a sarcastic remark, Mirajane would immediately explode.

However, the two of them later went on a long trip alone, which lasted for almost half a month.

When Sunshine returned to the guild and opened the door, he was carrying luggage in one hand and holding Mirajane's little hand in the other. From then on, the guild was filled with a sour smell every day.

"Don't look at me, I don't know either, but I do know that before I joined the guild, my sister kept saying why her husband hadn't come over for a free meal yet."

Lisana, standing nearby, added insult to injury with a grin.

"Lisana!"

Mirajane lunged forward and covered Lisana's mouth, as if she were about to kill her to silence her.

When Mirajane heard her sister reveal all her past secrets, her face turned as red as a ripe apple.

She sprang up and lunged at the table, covering Lisanna's mouth tightly with both hands, trying to stifle all the juicy gossip inside her sister's stomach.

"Mmm mmm!"

Lisana was pinned to a chair by her older sister, her big eyes darting around as she desperately blinked at Riyao in a coded signal.

Riyao took a sip of juice, pretending not to see it.

He slowly took a large sip of juice and then looked at the chandelier on the ceiling.

I don't want to sleep by the door tonight. Sorry, brave sister-in-law.

When your wife is on the verge of exploding, anyone who reaches out to help will be in trouble. When it's time to sell out your teammates, you have to do it decisively.

Lucy and the others looked like they'd just hit it off, and planned to go back tonight and chat with Lisana all night about gossip.

Mirajane seemed to sense something, turned around and glanced at them, her eyes warning.

The group blinked obediently.

Lucy and Levy immediately straightened their backs, placing their hands obediently on their knees, as well-behaved as elementary school students.

Kana raised her eyebrows.

Kana, sitting in the corner, tossed the bone aside, wiped her mouth, and grinned mischievously.

"Ask me, I know! Riyao was so happy that day, he asked me to drink with him, and when he got drunk, he told me everything."

Kana crossed her legs, raised her chin, and looked smug, as if she had mastered a core secret.

"Shut your mouth, or I'll break your legs. And Riyao, you'll sleep by the door tonight."

Mirajane swiftly moved over, pinching Kana's lips with two fingers like iron clamps, then abruptly turned her head, her gaze fixed on Sunrise's face.

"Ah!!" Riyao was stunned.

Riyao nearly dropped the glass in his hand, frozen in place with his mouth agape.

He glared at Kana fiercely: You wretched Kana, why did you have to bring up the thing you shouldn't have said? Couldn't you have just said it in private?

Kana blinked: I did it on purpose, go sleep by the door!

Sunlight looked at Mirajane with a pitiful expression, trying to awaken her love with his eyes, just like a big golden retriever.

He rested his hands on the edge of the table, his head drooping, his golden eyes gazing at his wife with watery eyes, exuding a pitiful aura.

Mirajane softened for a moment, but the thought of how this guy had drunkenly revealed all his embarrassing private secrets to Kana years ago made her feel even more ashamed and angry.

"Don't look at me like that, it won't help."

Mirajah turned his head to one side, crossed his arms, and struck a pose that showed he would not tolerate such behavior.

Riyao leaned closer to her, pressed himself against her body, and attentively served her food.

When Lucy and the others saw the two of them getting all lovey-dovey again, they buried their heads in showing off their food, not wanting to be fed dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection), and ran away after finishing their own meal.

"We've finished eating, let's head back now."

Lucy grabbed Lisanna with one hand and Levy with the other, and without even taking off her apron, she dashed toward the door at lightning speed.

They're obviously going to go back and gossip.

"Wendy, let's go, it looks like it'll be fun over there."

Xia Lulu twitched her ears, her eyes sparkling with gossip.

Wendy's cheeks puffed out as she swallowed the beef in her mouth.

"This isn't a good idea, Xia Lulu."

Little Wendy wiped her mouth, her face flushed. Although she felt embarrassed about prying into her privacy, her curious eyes had already betrayed her.

"Let's go, let's go."

Xia Lulu flew up and took Wendy's hand, walking outside.

When Kana saw that there were only three people left, she felt a bit superfluous.

She glanced at the two people stuck together, rubbed her sore cheeks, and stood up.

"Well, I'll head back now too."

"Kana, don't talk nonsense, or you won't get a single drop of alcohol."

Mirajah turned her head to the side, her sweet smile masking a menacing aura.

"Fine, I won't tell you then. I'm not afraid of you."

Kana shrank back, and although she was stubborn, she was quick to slip away, grabbing her small handbag and dashing out the door, closing the door behind her.

The tavern fell completely silent, with only the dim yellow wall lamp in the corner remaining lit.

Riyao rubbed his hands together as he watched them leave.

He moved even closer, almost touching Mirajane's shoulder, his face plastered with a fawning smile.

"Mira~ I've been lying by the door all day, so don't lie down tonight, my back is really sore."

"We'll see how you do." Mirajane took a sip of Sunrise juice.

She swallowed her juice, a smile playing on her lips, and glanced at the pile of greasy bowls and chopsticks on the table.

A flash of light appeared on Riyao's left hand, and his arm seemed to change.

The tableware on the dining table was drawn by an invisible force and floated into the kitchen.

The bowls and plates flew into the sink in a straight line in mid-air, accompanied by the sound of running water and a bluish light sweeping across them, until they were all clean and new, and neatly stacked back into the cupboard.

"I'm getting more and more skilled at mimicry."

Mirajane looked at the clean and tidy desktop, her eyebrows curving in satisfaction, and she ruffled her long, golden hair.

"Of course, don't you know who I am? Hehehe, honey, can we sleep in our room tonight?"

Mirajane burst out laughing.
