The Blonde Doctor

The arrival of Valentine's Day has stirred up undercurrents within the guild.

In February, the streets of Magnolia were filled with a pink hue.

The flower shop was filled with roses, the dessert shop window displayed all kinds of chocolates, and even the streetlights were decorated with heart shapes.

The guild hall was also decorated with a touch of pink, which was unusual for it.

Riyao donned a white coat, a stethoscope around his neck, and leisurely sat in the treatment room, eating blueberry grapes, legs crossed, flipping through a weekly magazine with his other hand, looking quite professional.

This can be considered as fulfilling my dream of becoming a doctor in my previous life.

Although this "doctor's" main job is to sleep in the healing room, occasionally treat injured guild members and patients who come for treatment, he spends most of his time slacking off.

The door to the healing room was gently pushed open, and Mirajane walked in, carrying an exquisite box tied with a pink ribbon.

She walked up to Riyao with a smile, handed him the box, tilted her head slightly, and said with a sweet smile, "Darling, Valentine's Day chocolates~"

Riyao's eyes lit up, and he happily took the chocolate box. When he opened it, he found it contained handmade chocolates of various shapes.

There are heart-shaped ones, star-shaped ones, and one in the shape of a little dragon; they are clearly handmade by Mirajane.

He carefully picked up a piece and put it in his mouth, then pulled Mirajane into his arms.

He kissed her face repeatedly, once on her left cheek, once on her right cheek, once on her forehead, and once on the tip of her nose.

"Delicious! Mira's chocolate is the best in the world!"

Mirajane's face flushed red from the kiss. She pushed Riyao's head away and said reproachfully, "Okay, okay, stop fooling around. It'll be embarrassing if someone sees us."

Riyao then let go, but still held Mirajane's waist to prevent her from leaving. He picked up a piece of chocolate and fed it to Mirajane, saying, "You have some too."

Mirajane opened her mouth and put the chocolate in her mouth; the two looked at each other and smiled.

As Riyao ate his chocolate, he looked out the window with a slight upturn to his lips, revealing an expression of anticipation.

"I wonder what kind of fun things we'll have to watch this year."

Mirajane gently patted him on the shoulder.

"You just love watching the excitement."

The guild hall was quieter than usual, everyone lost in their own thoughts.

The usually noisy hall was unusually quiet today. The men were either pretending to look at the order board, drinking with their heads down, or staring blankly out the window, but their eyes would occasionally drift in a certain direction.

The women huddled together in twos and threes, whispering amongst themselves and occasionally letting out silvery laughter.

Riyao and Mirajane went to the second-floor railing and looked down.

He leaned on the railing, chin resting on the back of his hand, like a sage watching a play.

Mirajane stood beside him, her hands resting on the railing, also looking down curiously.

Riyao looked towards the Shadow Gear Squad. Jet and Troy sat in the corner, occasionally stealing glances at Levy before quickly lowering their heads again.

Riyao chuckled and nudged Mirajane with his elbow.

"Triangles are stable, right? Do you think they can get Levy's chocolate this year?"

Mirajane thought for a moment, then tapped his chin with his index finger and began to analyze the situation seriously.

"I wonder. Levy quite shy, but Jet and Troy are both very nice to her... I wonder if Lucy can make chocolate."

Jet and Troy below were both clutching the gifts in their pockets, their palms sweaty, looking nervously at Levy.

Juvia, with chocolate tucked in her arms, hid behind a pillar, peeking out half her head and staring at Gray with a gaze so intense it seemed she wanted to melt Gray.

Her body trembled slightly with nervousness, and she clutched the chocolate box tightly, leaving fingerprints on it.

Gray suddenly shuddered, rubbed the goosebumps on his arms, and looked around.

I feel like something is watching me.

Natsu was dozing off on the table, didn't even lift his head, just mumbled something indistinctly.

"I bet you were shirtless again."

Gray looked down and, sure enough, found himself only in his underwear again. He frantically searched for clothes, grabbing a shirt from a nearby chair and putting it on.

Ur sat beside him and laughed heartily, so hard he almost cried.

"Gray, when are you going to get rid of this habit of taking your clothes off?"

Gray's face turned bright red as he muttered to himself while buttoning his shirt.

"Isn't it because you taught me...?"

Cana sat at a table in the corner, fiddling with tarot cards. The cards flew between her slender fingers, making a crisp sound.

Lucy came closer, clasped her hands together, and looked on expectantly.

"Cana ~ Please check my luck in finding a partner, please!"

Levy came closer, cupping her face in her hands, her eyes sparkling.

"I'm also quite interested in Lucy's luck with women, hehe..."

Juvia sat down next to Lucy, placed her hands on her knees, and stared intently at Lucy, speaking in a low, brooding tone.

"Rival in love~"

Startled, Lucy moved closer to Levy, pressing herself against Levy and protecting her chest with her hands.

"I told you no! I have absolutely nothing to do with Gray! Stop staring at me!"

Juvia stared at Lucy with a resentful look.

"But Juvia saw Lucy and Gray talking..."

"So talking makes us rivals?! Natsu and Gray are practically glued to each other all the time."

Cana shuffled the tarot cards, pushed them onto the table, and grinned.

"Since you're already here, you might as well all get tested. You're just killing time anyway."

Bisca walked over, and Lisanna skipped over to join in the fun, her hair swinging back and forth.

Cana calculated the numbers for each of them, flipping over cards and muttering to herself, her smile growing wider and wider.

"It's your turn, it's your turn, after you've settled yours, it's hers."

Bisca blushed and flipped over a card. Cana glanced at it and raised an eyebrow.

"Oh, you're having good luck with women."

Bisca glanced at Alzack instinctively, then quickly lowered her head.

When Lisanna flipped the cards, Natsu somehow crept over and peeked out from behind Lisanna's shoulder to look at the cards.

"What is that? What is that?"

Lisanna was startled and slapped Natsu on the head.

You scared me to death!

At this moment, Mirajane also came down, followed by a blonde woman with delicate features, a tall figure, wearing a white coat, and exuding an elegant temperament in every gesture.

Juvia felt threatened by the blonde woman's arrival and glared at her.

"Rival in love~"

Riyao swayed her golden ponytail, adjusted her half-rimmed glasses, and chuckled softly.

"Juvia, I'm your Riyao sister."

Juvia was steaming again, this time not out of shyness, but because the CPU had burned out and Kuku was smoking.

What's going on? Lady Riyao is a woman?!
