Treasure Hunt, Part Two

On the beach in Magnolia, the sun shines brightly, the sea breeze carries a salty scent, and white seagulls circle overhead.

Levy stood on the beach, holding the treasure map in her hand, adjusted her glasses, and looked around.

"It's roughly around here, let's start digging!"

At his command, everyone sprang into action.

They all rolled up their sleeves, ready to get to work.

Gray habitually masturbated in vain. He looked down and, oh, he was down to his underwear again, but that seemed normal on the beach.

He paused for a moment, then breathed a sigh of relief, finally relieved that he wouldn't have to be criticized for taking off his clothes.

Riyao and Mirajane sat on deck chairs by the beach, leisurely watching them dig.

Both of them used Requip Magic to change into swimsuits: Riyao wore pink beach shorts, while Mirajane wore a white swimsuit, her long silver hair shimmering in the sunlight.

Riyao was applying sunscreen to Mirajane's shoulders with meticulous and careful movements, his fingers slowly spreading the white lotion along her graceful shoulder line.

Mirajane squinted, a lazy smile playing on his lips, enjoying the services of Riyao.

"Hmm~ Apply it more evenly~"

"Don't worry, it's a 30-year-old family recipe."

On the beach, everyone displayed their unique skills.

Lucy dug with her shovel, sand flying everywhere, muttering to herself.

"Rent! Rent! Treasure! Rent! Treasure!"

She repeated the phrase with each shovelful of water, as if encouraging herself.

Happy flapped its wings and flew over, hovering above Lucy's head with a sarcastic look on its face.

"You idiot Lucy, why don't you use Virgo?"

Lucy yelled back without looking up, refusing to admit that she had forgotten.

"Shut up, you stinky cat! I'm digging it myself!"

Natsu stood beside a sandpit, took a deep breath, and raised his right fist high.

"Fire Dragon's Iron Fist!"

He slammed his fist into the beach, and with a loud bang, sand shot into the sky like a fountain, creating a sand rain all around.

The pit was dug, but it was a bit off-center, and sand sprayed all over Gray's head.

Gray wiped the sand off his face, gritting his teeth.

"Natsu! Do you want to fight?"

Natsu chuckled, "Sorry, sorry!"

Gray ignored him, clasped his hands together, and icy blue magic gathered in his palms.

He conjured a huge ice drill bit, which spun at high speed, emitting a piercing buzzing sound.

Gray gripped the drill and sped across the beach, leaving a deep trench in his wake and throwing sand more than two meters high.

Cana pulled a card from her waist, a smug smile on her lips.

The back of that card has a swirling pattern; if a card expert saw this card, he would definitely feel a sense of familiarity.

This is an exclusive card created by Gildarts in collaboration with Riyao inscribed Gildarts's Crush Magic with Enchantment Magic.

She held the card, conjuring a magic circle. "Crush!"

A shockwave shot out from the card, crashing onto the beach and instantly shattering it into a perfectly square crater, its edges so neat it looked as if it had been measured with a ruler.

Erza changed into a miner's outfit; yes, she even has a miner's outfit.

Wearing a safety helmet, overalls, and boots, he held a hoe and simply wielded it to dig.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

With each strike of the shovel, a half-meter-deep pit was created in the sand.

She dug quickly and steadily, and in no time she had dug a huge pit more than ten meters deep, the rhythm of her hoe swinging like a beat.

Lisanna also received the mole's soul; two round mole ears sprouted from her short white hair, and her hands transformed into sharp claws.

She darted in and out of the beach like a nimble fish, leaving behind winding tunnels in her wake.

Everyone used their unique skills, leaving the beach in a mess, full of craters, as if it had been bombarded by a meteorite.

After applying sunscreen to Mirajane, Riyao leaned back in his recliner, one arm around Mirajane's waist, the other holding a bowl of coconut juice, leisurely watching everyone busy at work. "Keep it up~"

Every now and then, people dig trash out of the sandpit.

Natsu pulled a piece of red cloth from the sand and waved it excitedly.

"Wow! Is that the treasure flag?!"

Gray was speeding alongside, maneuvering the ice drill, when he heard Natsu's shout and turned to look.

The moment he saw the red fabric clearly, his pupils contracted sharply, his hand trembled, and the drill veered off course.

Boom!

The ice drill slammed into Natsu, and the two rolled into a ball, sand flying everywhere.

The red cloth was flung out and landed squarely on Gray's face.

Gray ripped off the fabric, and after seeing what it was, his face instantly turned a deep purplish-red. He hurriedly threw the piece of cloth far away.

"You idiot Fire Dragon! These are underwear!! And they're size XXXXL!"

Natsu poked his head out of the sand pile, looking completely innocent.

"Oh? Is that so?"

With a pained expression, Lisanna hugged her knees and limped over to Riyao and Mirajane, squatting down on the beach.

Mirajane reached out and gently touched her sister's head, her fingertips brushing against a large, swollen bump.

What happened?

Lisanna then clung to Mirajane's leg, rubbing against him while crying.

"I bumped into a rock, it hurts so much..."

Her mole ears drooped down, and she looked pitiful.

Riyao, laughing heartily beside her, reached out and gently pressed his fingertips against the large bump on Lisanna's head, a pale golden light flowing from his fingertips.

"Don't move, let me treat you."

A warm light enveloped the large lump, and Lisanna felt the pain gradually subside, the bulge slowly flattening out.

On the other side, Cana continued casting her Crush Magic: "Shatter!"

A shockwave slammed into the beach, shattering it into a square crater.

Seawater poured in along the edge of the pit, gushing into the giant pit that Erza had dug, which was over ten meters deep.

"Wow!"

Erza was drenched by the sudden seawater, her red hair plastered wetly to her face, and her miner's helmet askew.

She jumped out of the pit, dripping wet, and roared fiercely at Cana.

"Cana! Don't use Crush Magic recklessly!"

Cana stuck out her tongue and innocently put away the cards:

Oops, my hand slipped!

After everyone's efforts, the entire beach was plowed over and over again, leaving behind potholes and gullies. Garbage was piled up into a small mountain: broken bottles, old shoes, rusty tin cans, dentures that no one knew who had lost them... everything was there, with flip-flops being the most common.

Just when everyone was about to give up.

A pink head popped out of the sand.

Virgo emerged from the ground, her elegant smile still on her face.

She was holding a large box in her arms, the box was engraved with intricate patterns, and it looked ancient and mysterious.

"Your Highness, Virgo has found a treasure!"
