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

The guild was still as noisy as ever, with guild members bickering and joking around.

Thump~ Thump~

One by one, the guild members collapsed and fell asleep—a blessing for insomniacs!

In the blink of an eye, only Sunrise remained awake in the guild hall.

He swallowed the bread in his mouth, tiptoed around behind Mirajane, caught her as she fell, and carefully adjusted her head so that she could lean against him more comfortably.

The guild door creaked open.

Mystergan walked in, wrapped in a thick cloak, the hood covering most of his face, and several staffs behind him swaying gently with each step.

He saw Riyao standing next to the chair, paused for a moment, but didn't show any surprise. This wasn't the first time the two had met like this.

Speaking of how they met, it was only six months after Mystergan joined the guild that Sunshine discovered him, and both of them were completely bewildered at the time.

He was completely bewildered. When did Mystergang join the guild?

Mystgang was clearly bewildered as well. Seeing that there was still one awake, he tightened his grip on his staff, his eyes asking, "Should we increase the hypnotic intensity?"

...

Riyao proactively raised his hand and greeted everyone with a smile.

"Mistgang, long time no see."

Mistgang nodded, his voice coming through the cloak, slightly hoarse and deliberately lowered.

"Lord Riyao, it's been a long time."

He walked straight to the order board, took down the order form, and stuffed it into his cloak.

Looking at the staffs behind Mystogan, Sunshine patted Mirajane's head and fell into thought.

It seems that Edolas's magical artifact crafting techniques are better than Aslant's? No, they're more... suitable for solo combat.

After all, the Aslant Council also had the magical spirit Li and Fies, who could attack one without making a sound.

Mister Gang walked over and knocked on the bar.

"Your Excellency Sunrise, I was just thinking of replenishing my potions."

"Five bottles of regular healing potion and five bottles of fast-acting healing potion, right?"

Riyao turned around and took out two sets of medicine from the cabinet under the bar.

Mystergan took the potion and was about to put it into his cloak when he heard Sunbeam ask casually.

"Old Mi, you're not an Aslant, are you?"

Mystergan's body stiffened abruptly, his eyes under the hood instantly sharpening, and his fingers gripping the potion tightened slightly.

"Chairman Makarov told you that?!"

Sunlight rested his chin on Mirajane's head, gently shook his head, and put on a profound and unfathomable look, just like when he tricked Cana into believing that he could see through the essence of life.

"No need for the chairman to say it, I can see the essence of your life. It's different from our Aslant people, but it's more like Granny Poliusika."

Mystergan's tense shoulders slowly relaxed, and he stuffed the potion into the inside pocket of his cloak, his voice lowering.

"Yes, I come from Edolas, a world very similar to this one. I hope you can keep this a secret."

"Don't worry, don't worry, I'm known throughout the guild for being tight-lipped."

As Riyao spoke, he almost laughed at himself.

Mistgang didn't pursue his insincerity; he simply nodded and turned to walk out the door.

As his cloak swept across the threshold, he paused, whispered "Thank you," and quickly disappeared outside the door.

Not long after Mystogan left, the guild members gradually woke up. Natsu was the first to jump up, touch his face, and shout.

"Where's my grilled fish?!"

Gray rubbed his eyes and sat up, staring blankly at the ice shards on the ground for a long time.

Mirajane stirred in Riyao's arms, opening one eye first. Seeing it was Riyao, she simply closed her eyes, snuggled closer to him, and planned to doze off for a while longer.

Sunrise chuckled softly, "Oh, good morning, Sleeping Beauty."

Mirajane reached out and patted his restless hand that was pinching her waist, her tone tinged with a slightly confused reproach.

"What's going on? I think I've suddenly fallen asleep a few times before."

"Mystgang is back."

Riyao explained casually, gently combing her long hair with his fingers.

"That guy always uses magic to lull you to sleep whenever he comes back. He's very mysterious, probably because he doesn't want anyone to see what he looks like."

Kana, holding a beer mug, came closer, her eyes sparkling.

"What does he look like? Is he someone you can't show your face to? Is he ugly?"

Riyao immediately raised his head, looking smug: "Anyway, no one is as handsome as me."

Kana rolled her eyes dramatically: "Narcissist."

"Where am I being narcissistic? Mila is in love with me too."

As he spoke, Riyao deliberately hugged Mirajane even tighter.

Gray, lying on the ground, rolled over and moved away from the two of them, muttering, "Kana, why did you provoke him? Don't you know he's love-struck right now?"

The guild quickly returned to its usual noisy state. Natsu and Gray were already fighting over "who would fall asleep first," Erza stood with her hands on her hips scolding the two of them, and Levy was taking notes in her notebook.

Happy squatted on the chandelier and shouted, "Aye! They're fighting again!"

As Riyao held Mirajane in his arms and looked at the bustling crowd, his gaze darkened slightly.

He pondered to himself: This time, the curse of the god of fate, "Aha Moment," was not triggered. It seems that the reason for the trigger was simpler than he had originally thought.

However, just to be on the safe side, we should find another opportunity to test it again.

The ruins we visited last time—no, I should call them wastelands—were completely clueless unless we kidnapped Sister Lei. We could only guess.

It just so happens that several people have been on their way to S-rank in recent years. According to the original storyline, it seems that it will be Laxus's turn this year. Why not beat him up and block his promotion to see if it triggers a curse?

We must figure out the pattern of the curse before X782. Although gentle Mira is also very good.

But the thought of what might happen in the future made his heart clench; he absolutely did not want to see Mirajane in tears.

Mirajane, who was in his arms, seemed to sense something and looked up at him.

"What are you thinking about? You look so silly with that furrowed brow."

Riyao immediately put aside his thoughts, squeezed her hand, and put on a playful expression.

I examine myself three times a day: what I eat for breakfast, what I eat for lunch, and what I eat for dinner and supper.

Mirajane rolled her eyes and poked his stomach: "All you ever think about is food."

"You're still in my mind." Riyao lowered his head, a gentle smile playing on his lips, and lightly touched her forehead.

Upon hearing this, Gray, who was on the ground, immediately used ice magic to make himself an ice pillow, buried his head in it, and resolutely refused to look at them.

Cana and Erza had already turned around in tacit agreement; one went to rummage through the president's wine stash, and the other went to clean up the overturned table.

Natsu's fist suddenly burst into flames, and he felt something was off.

Happy flapped its wings and flew down, landing on Sunshine's shoulder, and clicked its tongue cheekily: "Aye! We're hooked up~"

Sunlight smiled and reached out to pinch Happy's cheek. Mirajane couldn't help but laugh out loud as well. Leaning against him, listening to the familiar noise from the guild, she felt a warm glow in her heart.
