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

A flash of light, and the pink guild emblem was imprinted on the back of Lucy's hand. She stared at the fluttering Fairy Tail symbol, her fingertips trembling slightly.

Finally, she became a member of the most popular guild in the legend!

"Yay! Lucy's joined us!"

Cana raised the barrel of wine and shouted, while Gray began moving tables in preparation for the feast.

According to Fairy Tail tradition, anything worth celebrating must be commemorated with a banquet, which is actually the guild's drunkard who tries every means to throw a banquet.

Makarov cleared his throat, about to announce the start of the banquet, when the guild's wooden door was suddenly flung open, sending up a gust of wind.

"Hasn't my dad come back yet?"

Romeo burst in, panting heavily, his little face covered in dust, his eyes red like a rabbit's, and his knuckles white as he gripped the hem of his clothes.

Makarov blew on his beard, putting on a serious expression.

"Why are you so long-winded, child? As the son of a mage, you should trust your father and stay home obediently!"

"But he clearly said he'd be back in three days!"

Romeo stamped his feet in frustration, his voice trembling with tears.

"It's been a week now! I've been waiting for him every day..."

Makarov stroked his chin, recalling, "Right, I think he went to Mount Hakbay..."

"It's not far at all!"

Romeo's tears finally fell.

"Please, please go check on him! What if he's in danger?"

"Nonsense!"

Makarov suddenly frowned.

"Our guild doesn't need mages who only know how to clean up other people's messes! Go home and drink your milk!"

"You're saying that again!"

Romeo suddenly erupted, his little fist slamming into Makarov's face like a hammer. No one expected this brat to be so strong, he punched the guild leader so hard that he spun around on the spot, his hat flying off.

In reality, it was Makarov acting.

"Dad...where did you go..."

Romeo wiped away his tears and rushed out of the guild. His small figure disappeared at the end of the street, and his cries still echoed in the air.

"Bang!"

Natsu slammed his fist on the task board, leaving a deep dent in the wooden board and sending wood chips flying.

His face was so dark it looked like it could drip water, his fists were clenched so tightly his knuckles turned white, and his shoulders trembled slightly with anger.

Happy flapped his wings and followed behind. The usually boisterous Happy was now quiet, looking at Natsu with concern.

"Natsu, why are you smashing the bulletin board?!"

Nabu, who had been waiting in front of the order board all day, exclaimed in surprise, touching the damaged wooden board with heartache.

Lucy was completely confused; she had just joined the guild and didn't yet understand the interpersonal relationships here.

Lying sprawled on the sofa, Riyao lazily swung his legs, twirling the fire poker bracelet between his fingers.

"Maco and Natsu are very close. Maco has given Natsu a lot of fire to eat. Although he usually acts like a slacker, he actually treats Maco like family."

Lucy thought to herself, "So Natsu has such a gentle side."

She followed without a second thought, forgetting even to take her luggage.

Sunlight watched Lucy's retreating figure and sneered. She was just a lecherous monkey. He could have been dealt with by a single punch. Why did she have to get intimate with Mirajane?

"What are you thinking about?"

The familiar aroma wafted over, and Mirajane approached carrying a tray with freshly baked cookies. She had barely sat down when Sunlight clung to her like an octopus, burying his head in the crook of her neck.

"I miss my Mila's cookies~"

"You're always like a decorative accessory."

Mirajane chuckled and poked his forehead, her fingertips gently smoothing his spiky hair.

"Who can blame me when my Mila is so fragrant and soft~"

Riyao raised his head with a grin.

Elfman rolled his eyes, Lisana covered her mouth and chuckled, and Gray immediately used ice magic to create an ice wall for himself.

This couple is so lovey-dovey, it's practically impossible for single people to survive.

...

Lucy, Natsu, and Happy didn't return until the afternoon, looking travel-worn.

"Macao is such a loser, he got taken in by that perverted monkey. We sent him home~"

"Harpy said, chewing on dried fish."

Mirajane went upstairs to check the commission, while Sunshine remained sprawled on the sofa, fiddling with the Virgo key in his hand.

Sunlight streamed through the window and shone on the key, reflecting a golden light.

When Lucy saw the key, her slow-witted little brain finally caught on, and her eyes widened in surprise.

"Is Sunbeam a Celestial Spirit? Happy said last time you were summoned back by Mirajane... Are you a Virgo?"

Loki, who was drinking in the distance, spat out a mouthful of wine and coughed violently. This little girl actually confused Sunburst and Baloo?

Riyao raised the corners of his mouth, deliberately teasing her.

"What? You want to make a contract with me?"

Lucy's eyes shone like stars, and she clasped her hands together.

"Is that alright? I've been collecting reliable Protoss allies!"

Before anyone knew it, Mirajane quietly appeared behind Lucy, pressing down on her shoulder. His smile was as sweet as honey, but his voice carried a hint of danger.

"You want to form a contract with my darling?"

Lucy jumped in fright and immediately raised her hands.

"I didn't know Sunburst was Miss Mirajane's celestial spirit! I didn't mean to!"

Happy was laughing loudly, clutching his stomach.

"The Sunbeams aren't Mirajane's celestials~"

"But you said last time that Mirajane summoned him back?"

Lucy was stunned; her mind was a jumbled mess.

"It's definitely a summoning back~" Happy flapped its wings and flew to the top of her head.

"But Sunrise is Mirajane's lover! Silly Lucy's trying to steal him away, hahaha!"

"Can Protoss fall in love with humans?"

Lucy's eyes widened, so shocked she could barely speak. She thought to herself: "So, Protoss and humans can have this kind of relationship? Will my Protoss also... hehe..."

The guild erupted in laughter. Kana slapped the table, laughing until her stomach hurt, while Elfman laughed until tears streamed down his face.

Mirajane took out a crystal key and shook it. The key was engraved with intricate patterns and shimmered with rainbow colors in the sunlight.

"This is the key to the Sunfire. He is human, but can be summoned like a Protoss."

The real Celestial Loki (Leo) had already quietly slipped out of the guild, and Hakio reacted accordingly.

Sunrise lifts the Virgo key and flicks it lightly with its fingertips.

"Come out, old man!"

Baruka appeared out of thin air, dressed as a maid, and bowed respectfully.

"Boss."

Lucy then realized what was happening and patted her head.

"Oh right, Virgo should be called 'Baruge'... What's 'Old Baruge' called?"

Riyao handed the key to Lucy, his eyes serious.

"Here, she's yours now. Baluge is no use to me, so you must take good care of her; she's my dearest friend and family."

Baruge obediently wiped away imaginary tears and sobbed, "Boss, how can I live without you?"

Mirajane flicked each of them on the forehead, then leaned against Sunrise, wrapping her arms around his waist: "Stop teasing Lucy, she's already past her prime."

Baruga immediately dropped her dramatic expression: "Miss Lucy, nice to meet you from now on~"

Lucy looked at Baloo, then at Sunshine, opened her mouth but didn't know what to say. Too many things had happened today, and her little brain couldn't process them all.

Happy mimicked her tone from behind, saying in a high-pitched voice, "Ah, Riyue, you're so kind! I'll definitely buy lots of dried fish for Happy~"

"What are you doing, you silly cat!"

Lucy turned around and poked Happy on the head, but Happy nimbly dodged and flew onto Natsu's shoulder.

Sunshine suddenly leaned close to Mirajane's ear, his warm breath making her ears turn red.

"Mira looked so cool protecting me just now, let me kiss my darling."

Mirajane rolled her eyes dramatically, then turned her head slightly, her ear tips as red as cherries: "Just one kiss, okay?"

Riyao sneakily took out the lipstick, which he had somehow gotten from Mirajane, applied it to his lips, and kissed her face several times, leaving a trail of red lip prints.

"You kissed me, but then you even stole my lipstick!"

Mirajane frowned and pinched his waist, but not hard.

"Sleep by the door tonight!"

"I was wrong, but I'll do it again next time."

Riyao begged for mercy, his waist flesh turning red from being pinched, yet he still grinned and leaned closer.

Lucy's eyes widened again, as if they were about to pop out. This couple's interaction was just too...intense!

The older members, however, continued with their own affairs as if it were nothing out of the ordinary.

The current mascot, Lisana, walked over, patted Lucy on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "You'll get used to it. Your sister and brother-in-law show off their love in the guild every day~"

Looking at Sunrise and Mirajane, Lucy suddenly felt that this kind of guild was really nice, lively and full of love.
