The Harvest Festival Begins, a New Mission Arrives

"Laxus, that quest the Guild Master mentioned is really troublesome!"

"I requested this task; we're just waiting for the Guild Master's approval!"

"It seems this is quite extraordinary. Well, let's hold the Harvest Festival first, and talk about it again in a few days!"

"Um."

As night fell, the annual grand Fantasia officially began. The people of Demon Island also came to participate in this grand event. After the last mission ended, Demon Island fully opened up to communication with the surrounding Towns, and their living standards have been gradually improving.

Parade vehicles drove through the middle of the street, and Fairy Tail members did their best to showcase their talents. After several years of development, the Fairy Tail had many members, and Zorn was responsible for creating a lively atmosphere, just like before.

Similarly, a rainbow path and a sky bridge spanning the heavens were laid out, and the moonlight was enhanced, creating a fairyland-like feeling for the crowd.

Zorn sat on a rooftop, watching the noisy cheers echoing through the streets below, and truly felt incredibly happy to have come into this world.

The next day, the results of the Miss Fairy competition were announced. Lucy did not win first place as she had hoped, missing out on the prize money. She was dejected and lay on the table, lamenting how she would pay the rent this month.

"Oh no, what am I going to do about this month's rent!"

"What's wrong, Lucy? Are you still sad? Second place is already good enough. The competition isn't important!"

Cana placed a plate of food in front of Lucy, resting her head on her hand to comfort the heartbroken Lucy. In her heart, she still believed that Lucy was so sad because of the loss in the competition.

"That's all, but... I don't know what to do next..." Lucy said softly.

Cana didn't hear her clearly at first, so she whispered in Lucy's ear, "Lucy, how many boyfriends have you had so far?"

"Um, well... haha, I guess there are three!" Upon hearing this, Lucy's face flushed red instantly. She waved her hands awkwardly and quickly lied, saying that she had three boyfriends.

However, Cana's reaction was so obvious that she could tell Lucy was lying.

"Stop lying, Lucy!"

Don't you want to have a boyfriend?

"Well, of course I'd like to, but to be honest, I don't really know."

Lucy was also in a state of confusion upon hearing Cana's words, unsure of how to Cana, and an indescribable expression appeared on her face.

"Hey everyone, I have some news for you! Lucy doesn't even have a boyfriend yet!" Cana immediately stood up and shouted the news out loud to the others.

Upon hearing this, Lucy immediately stood up in a panic, pulling Cana back to stop her from speaking, but her shy expression revealed everything.

"Don't worry, Lucy, I've done the calculations, and today is the day of your destiny encounter. Your Prince Charming will appear afterward!"

Cana looked at Lucy with a mysterious expression, which stunned Lucy: "A fateful... encounter."

Then, during their secret conversation, Erza, Gajeel, and a group of people hurriedly prepared, even rushing to put on makeup, in preparation for an interview with a reporter from the Sorcerer Weekly.

"Ah, is this true? Is this the beginning of my destiny?" After hearing Mirajane's explanation and recalling what Cana had just said, Lucy covered her face with her hands, her thoughts wandering shyly.

"Maybe I'll even get paid for the writing... which can help pay the rent... hehe, that's great!"

This is a plan that kills several birds with one stone.

Lucy secretly rejoiced, then turned to look around the Fairy Tail, searching for the reporter. Taking advantage of the absence of reporters, she quickly ran to her room to trim her hair.

Inside the Fairy Tail, Zorn, dressed in a suit and tie just like Laxus, stood on the second floor, looking very serious, observing the entrance in preparation for the arrival of the reporters.

This is also a great opportunity to enhance the reputation of the Fairy Tail Fairy Tail. Although we already have a great reputation, who would complain about having more!

Just as Lucy finished packing and arrived at the Fairy Tail, intending to ask Erza about the situation...

"Oh, so this is the Titania!" A blond reporter, with an exaggerated expression, slid down in front of Erza and excitedly Erza with more questions.

He was writing quickly, completely ignoring Lucy beside him, which made Lucy doubt her own abilities.

"Is this all the fame I have?!"

"Pfft!"

"Happy, you have no right to laugh at me!" Lucy was already frustrated, and then being mocked by Happy made her explode. The scene that followed further damaged her self-esteem.

"Oh, Happy, why are you blue!"

"Because I'm a cat!"

Just after the reporter finished interviewing Happy, he glanced in Lucy's direction, making Lucy think that she had finally gained the reporter's attention. She was secretly pleased with herself, but while she was still thinking about it, the reporter Jason knocked her away and sent her flying towards Gray behind him.

"You're Juvia, and Gray too! That's so cool!"

Lucy followed behind the reporter, running back and forth in the Fairy Tail. No matter how she tried to tempt him, the reporter ignored her and interviewed everyone in the Fairy Tail but never Lucy.

This caused Lucy to break down and cry in the back!

"Oh no, what's wrong? Nothing I do works!"

"Jason, this is our Fairy Tail's most powerful Celestial Spirit Mage. She possesses the key to the Twelve Golden Zodiac Keys. She was a great help on the last mission, defeating one of the Trinity Raven alongside Juvia."

Just as Lucy was crying, Natsu's voice suddenly drew Jason's attention back. He even introduced Lucy to Jason, and his last sentence made Jason exclaim how cool that was.

"Kachi kachi"

As they took photos of Lucy, Juvia and Cana enthusiastically praised Lucy, prompting reporter Jason to excitedly take notes in his notebook.

Lucy looked at everyone gratefully, finally breaking into a smile through her tears, and confidently accepted Jason's interview.

"Honestly, Zorn, you still enjoy doing these things!" Laxus suddenly teased Zorn.

It turned out that Zorn had given instructions to Cana, then used light to pierce Natsu's eyes, noticing Lucy's crying expression.

"Well, things are pretty good now!"
