Fairy Tail: I'm invincible when I receive anime characters!

"Honestly, this is really worrying. I won't say anything today."

Upon hearing this, Lucy couldn't help but retort, "She said a whole bunch of things, is she a discipline committee member?"

Happy replied, "She is Erza."

At that moment, Erza's gaze swept over Natsu and Gray.

"Oh... great, Erza... we got along really well today..."

Natsu and Gray, who were fighting fiercely just moments ago, are now arm in arm.

Both of them were filled with fear, after all, they had both caused quite a bit of trouble this time, and they had just been fighting.

"Natsu has become just like Happy again!!"

Lucy's eyes widened. The last time she saw Natsu become like Happy was when she had just joined the guild.

Erza nodded in satisfaction: "Really? Even good friends sometimes argue, but I love how you two get along so well."

"Ah...no...I've said it many times, we're not good friends."

"What...what happened?! How did they end up like this?"

Lucy was a little confused. Almost all the Natsu she had ever met were lawless, except for the time when he was frightened by Qi Yan. Now he was actually this scared.

Mira explained with a grin, "Natsu and Gray are both afraid of Erza. Natsu provoked her before and got beaten up beyond recognition. Gray was walking around naked outside and Erza saw him and beat him up. Loki tried to chase Erza but got beaten half to death."

Erza looked past the two of them and at Qi Yan.

"Yo! Erza! Long time no see!"

Qi Yan raised his hand to greet Erza. He and Erza had become quite familiar with each other since they did an SS-rank mission together, and now they were considered good friends.

"It's good that you're still here. Actually, there's something I'd like to ask you. I heard about some troublesome things at work. The chairman should have made a decision, but I think it's better to resolve it sooner rather than later. So I'd like to ask for your help. Please come with me."

“Eh——?!”

"what?!"

"What...what's going on?!"

"Erza actually invited someone, and she invited Qi Yan no less!!"

"The last time the two of us teamed up was half a year ago!"

"Are these two teaming up again to wipe out a country?!"...

Everyone in the guild was shocked when they heard Erza's words. Qi Yan and Erza had gone on an SS-rank mission together half a year ago. At that time, Qi Yan had killed a giant dragon, which is still a legend that is constantly being circulated in the continent of Ishgar.

"We're leaving tomorrow. Let's get ready. We'll discuss the details on the way."

Erza turned and left after she finished speaking.

"and many more……"

Qi Yan hurriedly tried to call out to Erza, but Erza left without turning her head, leaving Qi Yan bewildered.

"I...I was just about to go on an S-rank mission!"

You're being too self-willed. I haven't even agreed to go or not yet.

Mira smiled as she took the S-rank mission request form from Qi Yan and said, "I remember now, S-rank missions require the guild leader's personal review. You can only do this mission after the guild leader returns from the regular meeting. Besides, for someone as strong-willed as Erza to invite someone else, especially you, she must have encountered some troublesome problem."

"Sigh! That's all we can do! Mira has saved this task for me."

Since Erza rarely spoke up, Qi Yan naturally couldn't refuse; it wouldn't matter if the mission was done a little later.

Mira smiled and said, "Don't worry! We'll save it for you."

Erza left the guild, but the guild was in an uproar. Everyone was discussing what Erza had invited Qi Yan to do. The two of them together might be doing something of SS-level difficulty.

What they did last time is still being talked about all over the continent of Ishgar. Who knows what kind of trouble they'll cause this time?

Chapter 62 How Do You Think of Me?

Iron Forest, the Magician Guild

"Which guild does that armored woman belong to?"

"do not know."

"That's such a nice woman, damn it, I wish I could have struck up a conversation with her."

"You can't do it anymore."

"What did you say?!"

Just then, a cold voice rang out from ahead: "Has Kagayama not returned yet?"

"That seal won't be broken so easily, let's wait a bit longer."

"Don't drag your feet, now's the perfect time. All the old men are in their regular meetings right now."

Magnolia train station

"Hey! Isn't it a bit inappropriate for us to sneak around and follow them like this?"

"It's behind a pillar," Lucy said in a low voice.

Natsu, with great interest, secretly glanced at Qi Yan and said, "Aren't you curious? Erza invited Qi Yan, what are these two monsters going to do together?"

Curious! Of course she's curious! She's incredibly curious!

Yesterday, she learned more detailed information from the guild: the major event that shook the entire continent of Ishgar half a year ago was something Qi Yan and Erza did together.

Then Natsu invited her to go and see what the two of them were going to do, which made Lucy's already curious heart restless.

As if by some strange twist of fate, they ended up coming with Natsu and Happy.

"Wait! Erza is here!"

Harpy called out a warning, and the three of them immediately hid.

"Sorry... I hope you've kept me waiting?"

Erza pulled a cart full of luggage toward them.

Qi Yan was speechless, but every time he saw Erza with all those big bags and small packages when she went out, he couldn't help but want to complain.

"No, I just arrived recently."

"Then let's get on the train first."

Qi Yan helped Erza carry her luggage to the cargo car, and then the two of them sat down in the passenger car.

Just as the two people boarded the train, three figures stealthily followed them onto the train. To avoid being discovered, they boarded from an adjacent carriage.

Beep beep beep—!

The train whistle sounded, and then the train slowly began to move, gradually increasing its speed.

"Ugh!"

As soon as the train started moving, Natsu began to feel carsick.

"You really do get carsick as soon as you get on a bus!"

Lucy and Natsu are familiar with Natsu's inability to use any mode of transportation.

"We can't hear what they're saying from so far away, let's move closer."

Lucy and Happy hit it off immediately.

"Sa sa sa~! Sa sa sa~!"

The two, a human and a cat, stealthily moved closer by changing seats, and soon found themselves in the seats behind the two, where their conversation could be clearly heard even in the noisy train.

"It seems like it's been a long time since we went out together. The last time was about half a year ago. I really miss it."

As Erza gazed at the receding scenery outside the window, a look of nostalgia crept into her eyes.

She had been doing quests alone since joining the guild, although she later opened up and got along well with other guild members.

However, due to her personality, she felt that she was somewhat disliked, and many people were afraid of her. There were very few people who could get along well with her, and Qi Yan was one of them.

Furthermore, Qi Yan was the only man who had ever worked with her, and although it was only once, the feeling of having a partner by her side was still very good.

"Yes! I was still a newbie back then, and the old man assigned me to accompany you on an S-rank mission."

Erza laughed upon hearing this: "I think you were quite happy about it back then."

"Well, it's an S-rank mission after all, the reward is quite generous!"

Qi Yan rubbed his fingers together with a smile.

He definitely couldn't talk about the system; it was a secret that belonged only to him. Besides the lottery chances awarded by the system, the generous rewards for S-rank prizes naturally played a part in it as well.

No one dislikes money, and Qi Yan is no exception. He not only likes money, but he also loves saving it. Every time he sees the balance on his bank card steadily increasing, he feels very happy.

"You money-grubber, how much money have you saved up now?!"

Erza and Qi Yan were very familiar with each other, and she knew that Qi Yan had a hobby of saving money, just like she liked to buy all kinds of beautiful clothes and armor.

"Hmm...it's probably around 1 million J!"

The initial S-rank and SS-rank missions earned him nearly 4000 million J. Later, he completed three more S-rank missions, each worth about 1000 million J, for a total of 7000 million J. Apart from the S-rank missions, the raiding missions he did were worth at least 1 million J each. All these miscellaneous missions added up to about 100 million J.

"1 million?!"

Lucy and Happy almost shouted out the number, but luckily they were quick enough to cover each other's mouths.

Both of them could see the shock in each other's eyes.

Habi knew Qi Yan was rich, but he never imagined Qi Yan was this rich.

Lucy was shocked and incredibly envious. She was still worrying about her monthly rent of 7 J, while Qi Yan had already become a tycoon.

She heard that Qi Yan had only been in the guild for a little over half a year, and he had already earned 100 million in just over half a year. Was this the speed at which a super mage could make money? It was truly enviable.

Erza's eyes widened. She knew Qi Yan had made a lot of money, after all, they had earned 3500 million J from that trip together, but she was still a little shocked to hear that Qi Yan had saved nearly 1 million J.

"You...you...don't you spend any money?!"

As an S-class mage, she was also very good at making money. Of course, she was far behind Qi Yan, but she earned nearly 2000 million J from that SS-class mission, including the prize money from the top four in the Swordsman Tournament. She made a fortune.

But she spent most of her money on weapons and armor, so even though she started working very early, she doesn't have much savings now.

"Spending money is not as interesting as saving money."

You'll spend less money, but if you save money, your wealth will grow.

Erza was speechless when she heard Qi Yan's words: "Isn't money meant to be spent? Then why are you saving all that money?"

"What else can it be used for? To get married, of course!"

"Marry...marry a wife?!"

Erza was dumbfounded; she hadn't expected to hear this answer from Qi Yan.

"You don't need to spend this much money to get married."

"I'll spend it slowly. I can't let others suffer with me, can I?"

"Uh...you really are a good family man!"

Erza suddenly had the urge to tease Qi Yan. With a playful smile on her face, she said to Qi Yan, "What do you think of me? Why don't you marry me, and I'll help you spend your money."

Chapter 63: Big News!

“You…you…what did you say?”

Erza was stunned, looking at Qi Yan in disbelief.

Qi Yan smiled and said, "I said yes! After this matter is over, we'll go back to the marriage registration office, get our marriage certificate, and then hold a grand wedding in front of everyone in the guild."

"marry?!!"

Lucy and Happy were startled when they heard this. Luckily, they were prepared and covered each other's mouths tightly. The one who didn't cover his own mouth was afraid that he might accidentally scream.

Qi Yan continued, "After we get married, let's have a few more babies. How many? Hmm, the more the better."

"Get...get...married...baby..."

When Erza heard that Qi Yan had actually agreed to marry her and have a baby with her, she blushed deeply.
