Fairy Tail

Magnolia.

Fairy Tail!

"Wow, it's really big..."

Standing at the entrance of the guild tavern, even though she had seen it countless times in the anime in her previous life, Chiba couldn't help but exclaim in amazement. The feeling of seeing it on screen and seeing it in reality was completely different.

"Speaking of which, I saw a suspicious person on the road just now, but it seems that Erza glanced at him and he quickly ran back... It seems like he came from this direction." Chiba voiced his question.

Erza sighed softly, seemingly unwilling to answer.

Mira, standing nearby, laughed and said, "Because Erza is the guild's 'disciplinary committee member,' and most of the guild members have been beaten up by her. So whenever she's coming back, if anyone happens to see her on the street, they'll immediately rush back to tell the others."

Chiba: "..."

It really reminds me of when Erza first appeared in the anime...

Just then, Erza opened the door.

Inside, it was eerily quiet. The noisy commotion that could be heard from outside the door had vanished instantly. Chiba felt as if he had Teleportation to another place.

"Erza... you're back so soon?" The middle-aged man with a cigarette dangling from his lips, who was closest to the gate, couldn't help but ask.

The armored girl nodded, then said, "Um... Wakaba, is the guild leader here?"

Seeing that Erza didn't seem inclined to interrogate anyone in the guild, Wakaba breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The guild master was summoned to a Magic Council meeting yesterday, but she should be back today."

Erza blushed slightly, a rare occurrence for her, perhaps she vaguely knew why the Council had summoned the Magic Council Master.

Not only did Mira and I burn down the headquarters of the Frog in the Pond, but we also caused such a commotion in the central square of Deli Town. The Magic Council must have received the news long ago, which is why they summoned the chairman.

"Chiba- Chiba..."

At that moment, Elfman, not far away, spoke with trembling lips.

Beside him, Lisanna covered her mouth, tears welling in her eyes, and then she couldn't help but burst into tears, throwing herself into Chiba's arms and almost knocking him over.

The little girl and the burly boy hugged Chiba tightly and burst into tears.

Chiba looked somewhat helpless, but still smiled and hugged them.

Mira turned slightly to the side and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"Alright, this guy's not dead yet. He's back unharmed, isn't he?"

Elfman and Lisanna cried for who knows how long, Mira put one hand on her hip and laughed.

Lisanna let go of his hand, wiped away her tears, and pouted, saying, "Sister Mira has cried countless times for Brother Chiba in secret, and she's saying things like this now."

Mira blushed, glared at her younger sister, and said, "When have I ever cried for this guy? Don't talk nonsense."

"Hmph! There it is!" Lisanna made a face at her, then hid behind Chiba.

Chiba couldn't help but look at Mira.

Mira glared at him. "What are you looking at? No! There's nothing there!"

Chiba: "..."

Women really are creatures of duplicity.

"Speaking of which... what has Chiba been doing for the past six months? After we joined the guild, my sister went to look for Chiba at the foot of that snow mountain, but she couldn't find him even after a long time," Elfman asked.

Chiba then told them about his experiences over the past six months, omitting some details.

"So... you mean, you fell off a cliff, were rescued by the Dark Guild, and instead of killing you, they wanted to recruit you, and that's how you got involved in the Dark Guild's conflicts?" Mira couldn't help but ask after Chiba finished speaking.

"That's right." Chiba nodded.

"You have a younger sister?" she asked again.

"That's right." Chiba nodded.

"Then why didn't I see her?" Mira asked.

"Feiyin, come out and greet the guests!"

"Okay, Mom... oops! Brother!"

Amidst a dazzling white light, a little girl dressed entirely in white suddenly appeared before Chiba.

Everyone in the tavern stared wide-eyed, as if they had seen some amazing creature.

Mira's eyes widened in surprise as well. "Where... where did she come from?"

"Inside my body," Chiba said.

Everyone: "..."

Is your body your house, and you the landlord, and she the tenant?

So, following the script planned by Feiyin, Chiba gave another long explanation.

After explaining, Mira's gaze towards Feiyin softened considerably, while Chiba's lips twitched, because... this shameless guy's version of events was even more pathetic than the one he gave Ultear last time.

"If you really have nowhere to live, then you can live with me and Lisanna from now on..." Mira gently patted Feiyin's head and smiled softly after learning that Feiyin had been "living" inside Chiba's body.

Feiyin blinked, about to say yes, but unexpectedly saw Chiba's murderous glare.

So she took a few steps back and said somewhat reluctantly, "Um... Sister Mira, actually I think living in my brother's belly is pretty good... Three bedrooms and a living room, no worries about food or clothing... Um, goodbye for now!"

As she spoke, she transformed into a streak of light and entered Chiba's body.

"Eh..." Mira tried to stop her, but Feiyin was too fast and had already entered Chiba's body.

"Chi... Ye..." Mira narrowed her beautiful eyes, her voice somewhat cold.

Chiba jumped in fright and forced a smile, "Actually, I think... my body is really quite good, it's truly a three-bedroom apartment."

"Should we seal me in too?" Mira asked, squinting.

Chiba wanted to say "okay," but his survival instinct made him shake his head repeatedly.

"Sigh, even the legendary 'Lava Monster' is henpecked?" In another corner, Wakaba took a drag of his cigarette and couldn't help but sigh.

"Thinking about your wife, huh? Wakaba?" Another middle-aged man laughed from the other side.

"Macao, what does 'henpecked' mean?" Natsu, with his short, cherry-red hair, asked curiously.

"Natsu, being henpecked is..."

"Ah, are you asking for a beating, Macao?" Mira's voice drifted over at that moment.

"Uh... no, it's Wakaba, he called me henpecked."

"Um???"

"Uh... I didn't... Okay, Macao, hasn't it been a long time since I beat you up? Don't you remember how powerful my magic is?"

"Beat me up? Mimi Mira, step aside! I'll teach this old bastard a lesson and show him the power of my Purple Flare Magic!"

"Haha! Everyone seems really enthusiastic! I'll join in too!"

"Hey Natsu! Watch out!"

"Bang bang!"

"Ah... do you want to die, you droopy-eyed bastard?"

"You're the one who's in the way, you slanted-eyed pervert."

The guild, which had been quiet for a short while, descended into chaos again, with almost everyone joining the fight.

The girl who should have been the one leading the entire guild was now sitting in a corner, seemingly blaming herself for the trouble she had caused the guild leader.
