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

"Are you alright? Nothing's wrong?"

Qi Yan was a little confused; what could possibly be going on between them?

Makarov waved his hand: "It's good that you're alright! Luckily you didn't do that mission. That mission has been upgraded to S-rank. I was really worried that you would have done it in a moment of impulsiveness. Giving up the mission was the right thing to do."

"Abandon the mission? Abandon what mission?"

"What other mission could it be? It's the mission you took on with the Phantom Thieves!"

"We've completed that mission!"

"What did you say?!!"

Everyone in the guild was startled by these words and stared at Qi Yan in disbelief.

Mira looked at Elfman with a questioning gaze, and Elfman nodded to Mira, confirming the answer.

Makarov stared wide-eyed at Qi Yan: "You...you really did it? You defeated that 'King of Assassins' Camille."

Qi Yan nodded: "Yeah! That guy is quite troublesome, a bit difficult to deal with."

Elfman didn't say anything, but he thought to himself: Yeah! They were pretty tough to deal with, but I took care of them in a minute.

"You... how could you be so reckless? This is an S-rank mission! It's the infamous 'King of Assassins'."

Qi Yan spread his hands: "There's no other way! I've already accepted the mission, I can't just give up, and they're going to kill my client, I can't just stand by and do nothing, that would damage Fairy Tail's reputation."

Just then, a newspaper vendor ran past the guild hall.

"Breaking news! Breaking news!"

"The infamous Phantom Thieves have been captured in their entirety!"

"The identity of the Phantom Thieves' leader is shocking!"

The guild members quickly went over and bought one.

"It's really finished!!"

"Qi Yan, a newcomer who just joined the guild, actually completed an S-rank mission! That's incredible!"

"Yeah! No wonder he was able to defeat Natsu, this guy's strength is monstrous!"...

Upon seeing the newspaper report, the guild members exclaimed in surprise. They were finally convinced that Qi Yan had indeed completed an S-rank mission. After all, the matter had already made it into the newspaper, which clearly stated that Fairy Tail mage Qi Yan had defeated the Phantom Thieves.

Makarov took a deep breath and said, "Report on the mission process."

Elfman began to report on the mission process, giving a detailed account from beginning to end.

Moreover, according to Elfman's report, Qi Yan actually completed the entire project by himself from beginning to end.

He defeated thirteen members of the Phantom Thieves by himself, including Camille, who was known as the 'King of Assassins'. That's incredible.

Makarov breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Qi Yan, saying, "I'll let it go this time, but don't be so reckless again!"

"Received! By the way, guild leader, I've even completed the S-rank mission, can I go up to the second floor?"

The second floor has many S-rank missions that he's been longing for. The more S-rank missions he completes, the more chances he'll get to draw prizes, and then his strength will take off.

"Qi Yan has already completed an S-level mission, so wouldn't that mean he can go up to the second floor?"

S-rank missions are extremely dangerous even for S-rank mages. Since Qi Yan has completed an S-rank mission, he is qualified to go up to the second floor.

"An S-rank mission is an S-rank mission, and the second floor is the second floor. To reach the second floor, one must become an S-rank mage. This is a guild rule."

Makarov immediately refused. Qi Yan, that stubborn brat, dared to do an S-rank mission as soon as he joined the guild. If this brat were allowed to go up to the second floor, who knows what he might do? He might even dare to do a century-old mission.

He also discouraged others from trying to reach the second floor by completing S-rank missions, because he couldn't possibly manage everyone who wanted to reach the second floor by doing S-rank missions.

"Sigh! Alright! Guild Master, how do I become an S-class mage?"

Qi Yan was somewhat disappointed; he had thought he could go straight to the second floor and choose any task he wanted.

Makarov replied, "If you want to become an S-class mage, then wait for the S-class mage promotion exam at the end of the year. Only by passing the S-class exam can you be promoted to an S-class mage."

Qi Yan's eyes widened: "The end of the year?! It's only the beginning of the year! Does that mean we have to wait another six months?!"

Makarov thought to himself: You'd better just stick to your other tasks.

Soon, the guild returned to normal, and many people were eagerly discussing Qi Yan's completion of the S-rank mission. Judging from the photos of the destruction in the newspaper, one could tell how intense the battle had been.

Qi Yan ordered a huge table full of food. He had lived a hard life for the first half month after transmigrating, but now that he had money, he wanted to make up for it all.

During the meal, many people in the guild invited him to form a fixed team, but he politely declined them all, saying that he wanted to act alone for the time being.

Teaming up has its advantages. First, it increases safety, and you can also tackle more challenging tasks together.

But that's based on the premise that the strength is roughly equal. If the strength gap is too large, it will only affect the speed of his work.

Affecting the speed at which he works is affecting the speed at which he becomes stronger.

Furthermore, his goal is S-rank. Once he becomes an S-rank mage, he will definitely have to do S-rank missions. If he is not strong enough, it will be more dangerous. Rather than breaking up at that time, it is better to refuse now.

Qi Yan shouted, "Mira! Another beer, please!"

Mira quickly brought over a glass of beer and placed it on Qi Yan's table.

"Qi Yan, thank you so much this time."

I heard from Elfman that Qi Yan went to deal with the Phantom Thieves all by himself, without letting Elfman interfere. Moreover, after the mission was completed, he was to give half of the reward to Elfman. In the end, it was Elfman who insisted, so he only took 100 million J. 100 million J is not a small amount. It is only possible to complete an extremely difficult hunting mission to get such a high reward.

Qi Yan blinked: "Thank me? Why? I should be thanking you. It's all thanks to you for letting Elfman take me. If it weren't for Elfman protecting the client, I might have completed the mission without anyone paying me."

Hearing Qi Yan say that, Mira felt much more favorably disposed towards him: "If you ever need my help in the future, just let me know."

At this moment, Qi Yan remembered something: "Hmm, there is something I really need your help with."

"What is it?"

"I want to buy a house."

Chapter 13: Gold Withdrawal Again

"Buy a house? The guild has dormitories..."

In the Mage Guild, most mages either rent houses or live in dormitories; very few people buy houses.

"No, I don't like living in dormitories. I want to have my own house."

Now that he has transmigrated to this world and settled down, he naturally wants to have a home of his own.

"Hmm... what are your requirements for the house?"

"I don't have any special requirements. The place can be a bit remote. If I'm going to cultivate, I don't want to disturb others. The house just needs to be clean and tidy."

Mira's eyes lit up when she heard Qi Yan say that: "Now that you mention it, I do know a house that fits your requirements. Wait a moment."

Mira immediately ran to Makarov to ask for leave, saying she wanted to take Qi Yan to see a house. Makarov immediately nodded in agreement. Buying a house is a major event in life, and Qi Yan buying a house here means that he wants to settle down here.

Mira quickly approached Qi Yan and said, "Alright, I've already taken leave. Let's go."

Mira led Qi Yan along the river.

“Near where I live, there is a middle-aged couple. The husband was recently transferred to Onibas as a civil servant, and the family is preparing to move to Onibas, so they are planning to sell their house here. When I heard your request, this was the first house that came to mind.”

Just then, a boat glided across the river. The boatman looked at Mira and Qi Yan walking along the riverbank and joked, "Hey! Are you two young lovers on a date?"

Mira blushed slightly: "No, that's not true!"

"Don't be shy! Young people should take advantage of their youth to date; it'll be too late when they get older!"

As the boatman was speaking, the boat had already drifted away downstream.

"Qi Yan, don't listen to his nonsense."

Qi Yan smiled and said, "I know! He was just joking! It's really a little sad that you're so eager to distance yourself."

"Ah! That's not what I meant!"

"Okay, I was just kidding. I was just joking."

He likes Mira a lot, but it wouldn't be accurate to call it love at first sight; it's just a simple liking, partly due to watching the anime.

To be honest, he and Mira have only met twice, including today.

Mira pouted in dissatisfaction: "Hmph! Mr. Qi Yan is really mean-spirited."

Mira laughed after she finished speaking. Although she had only met Qi Yan twice, she felt very comfortable and natural with him.

A short while later, Qi Yan and Mira arrived in front of a house.

At this moment, in front of the house, a horse-drawn carriage was pulling a full load of luggage of all sizes.

"Mr. Santos! Ms. Bella! Are you leaving so soon?"

Mira stepped forward and asked.

"It's Miss Mira! Yes, everything's ready over there, it's time to leave."

Ms. Bella smiled as she saw Mila, whom she had watched grow from a little girl into a beautiful young woman.

"This is...your boyfriend? Mimi has grown up a lot."

Mira blushed slightly and said, "No, he's a colleague from my guild."

"Oh? So that's a guild romance?"

"No, we're just ordinary colleagues."

“I haven’t seen Mimi date any male colleagues over the years.”

"Ms. Bella~~!"

"Hahaha~! Just kidding. If I don't joke around with Xiaomi now, I'm afraid I won't have the chance again."

"By the way, Ms. Bella, now that you've left, what happened to the house? Has it been sold yet?"

Ms. Bella shook her head: "Not yet, but there's no time to deal with it slowly. I plan to entrust it to an agency to handle in a while."

"Oh, that's perfect! My colleague is looking for a house, so I recommended your place to him. May I take a look?"

"Of course! Please go ahead!"

Soon, Mira showed Qi Yan around the house. The house was neither too big nor too small, with two floors. The house and yard were very clean, indicating that the owner took good care of it. The house was fully equipped, and one could move in with just a few simple purchases.

Furthermore, the surrounding environment is very beautiful. It is a detached house, so he doesn't have to worry about disturbing the neighbors no matter what he does. Qi Yan is very satisfied.

After some haggling by Mira, the Bella couple, who originally planned to sell for 400 million J, eventually sold it to Qi Yan for 300 million J, which made Qi Yan look at Mira with new respect.

"You still say you're not a couple? You're saving them money."

No!

"Alright, I should go now. Young man, I've watched Xiaomila grow up since she was a child. She's a good girl, so you must cherish her!"

"Ms. Bella~~!"

Qi Yan said earnestly, "Don't worry, Ms. Bella, I will cherish this opportunity!"

Ms. Bella paused for a moment, then burst into laughter, patting Qi Yan on the shoulder: "Young man, you're quite good!"

"Qi Yan~~~!"

Even though she knew they were just joking with her, she was still very shy.

Soon, the carriage slowly drove away, and Mira and Lady Bella said their goodbyes, for this farewell might very well be their last.

"Qi Yan, you take good care of things. I'm going back to the guild now."

"Wait, you've helped me so much, let me treat you to dinner."

"No! If others see this, who knows what they'll say."

Mira has lived in Magnolia for so many years that almost everyone in the town knows her, and she's been teased several times in just a short time since she came out.

"Hehe! Just kidding. I have a lot of work to do at the guild, I have to go back and take care of it. Maybe another time. I'm leaving now."

After Mira finished speaking, she turned to return to the guild.

Qi Yan suddenly remembered something: "Wait a minute! Mira!"

"Huh? Is there anything else?"

"I almost forgot the most important thing, Mira, can you wish me good luck like last time?"

Mira was a little confused, but she still smiled brightly and said, "Mr. Qi Yan, I wish you good luck today too!"
