Three Join the Guild

Mirajane, who had been hanging her head, smiled faintly.

"Receive."

A powerful force of attraction dragged Satan forward.

Satan's expression changed instantly as he panicked. "What's going on?! Why isn't my body obeying me?!"

Satan looked at the girl before him and realized she had not been bewitched by him at all. Instead, she was staring at him with a smile.

"How is this possible?! What did you do to me?!"

"Hmph, and you thought you could control me?!"

"But I really should thank you for helping me awaken Receive Magic—the magic to receive Demons!"

"Impossible! How could such magic exist in this world?!"

"And didn't your arm appear because it contained my Demon Factor?!"

"How could that make you awaken magic?! And Receive Magic that receives Demons, no less?!"

"How would I know that much? That annoying brat just told me."

"Enough, I'm done talking. I'm going to eat you!"

Satan felt the force pulling him grow even stronger, and his body was dragged over directly.

He was completely absorbed by Mirajane.

"No—!!!"

Seeing that everything had finally ended, Mirajane collapsed onto the ground.

She could feel a powerful energy within her body.

"So this is magic."

Outside the sealing grounds

Ye Yang was sitting on a rock. Sensing the enormous energy inside vanish and gather entirely within one person, he nodded in satisfaction.

"It's over, it's over. Time to go home."

At this point, the entire village had vanished, leaving only wreckage from collapsed buildings everywhere.

Before long, two figures came running from afar.

"Wizard Brother!!"

Ye Yang looked over and saw that it was the two little ones, Lisanna and Elfman.

"Why did you two come over here? Don't you know it's dangerous?"

Lisanna said between breaths, "We... we noticed it had gone quiet over here, so we came."

"By the way, where's Sister Mirajane?"

Ye Yang looked toward the cave entrance and saw a figure slowly walk out.

"Look, she's right there."

Seeing that their sister looked somewhat disheveled but was not injured, Lisanna and Elfman happily ran forward.

"Sister Mirajane!"

"Sister Mirajane!"

Hearing her younger brother and sister call out to her, Mirajane looked up and revealed a gentle smile.

"Li...sanna, Elf...man..."

Then she fainted.

Not long after, people from the Magic Council arrived. By then, only villagers remained, sorting through the ruins.

After asking around, they learned that Fairy Tail wizards had done it.

Upon hearing it was Fairy Tail, the Council members' heads immediately began to ache.

"Why is it these guys again? They've been getting more and more out of hand lately!"

On the way back

With a helpless expression, Ye Yang carried the unconscious Mirajane on his back and led the two little ones toward the guild.

Mirajane slowly opened her eyes and found herself on someone's back, with her younger brother and sister walking beside her.

Why am I on that annoying brat's back?

What should I do? What should I do? I should keep pretending to be asleep.

"Since you're awake, get down."

"You're heavy as hell."

Before Mirajane could react, Ye Yang tossed her straight onto the ground.

"Ah!"

"Ow, ow, ow."

"You annoying brat! How could you just throw a beautiful girl like me onto the ground?!"

"Doesn't your conscience hurt?!"

"And how am I heavy?!"

Ye Yang said indifferently, "Conscience? What's that?"

Lisanna said, "All right, Sister, don't blame Brother Ye Yang. He carried you for half the day."

"Hmph! Lisanna, why are you taking that annoying brat's side?"

Elfman stepped forward and helped Mirajane up.

"Sister, are you okay?"

"I'm fine, Elfman. By the way, where are we going?"

"Sister, we're going to the Fairy Tail guild."

"Your arm hasn't recovered yet."

Only then did Mirajane look at her arm. Not only had it not improved at all, it had become even more imposing.

"Hey! Annoying brat, why isn't my arm better yet? Didn't you say it would recover after I received that Demon?!"

"Sigh, your magic has only just awakened, and you received a Demon like Satan right away. Once we get back to Fairy Tail, have the Old Man teach you Receive Magic and you'll be fine."

"Then I have to walk around with this arm the whole way?!"

"Here." Ye Yang then took out a cloak and draped it over Mirajane.

"It's getting late. Rest here while I go into the forest and hunt some food."

Before long, Ye Yang dragged back a giant bear and quickly set it up to roast.

Having gone a long time without meat, the three of them stared at the meat before them with shining eyes.

Very quickly, the four of them finished off the bear, which was larger than all of them combined. Ye Yang had eaten almost all of it by himself.

The three siblings were dumbfounded.

Mirajane (?⊿?): "How can you eat so much?"

"The stronger a person is, the more they eat. You eat so little because you aren't strong enough."

Mirajane looked at Ye Yang suspiciously. "Really? Why do I feel like you're fooling me?"

"How could I be? Look, I'm strong, right? And I eat a lot. They're directly proportional."

"Really?"

"Stop dwelling on it and get some sleep. We still have to hurry to the Train Station. If we get back too late, the Old Man will mock us."

After saying that, Ye Yang immediately fell asleep.

Lisanna and Elfman also gradually fell asleep leaning against Mirajane. Looking around, Mirajane felt as though everything was heading in a better direction.

She looked at her younger brother and sister, then gradually fell asleep as well.

A few days later

After traveling for four days, the four of them finally arrived at Fairy Tail.

"Fina...finally back."

Ye Yang kicked open the doors, and lively noise poured out from inside.

When San Mao and Er Gou saw that their boss had finally returned, they immediately dropped the wooden barrels of alcohol in their hands. With tears and snot streaming down his face, San Mao clung to Ye Yang's leg.

"Boohoohoo X﹏X..."

"Boss, you finally came back."

"I thought you were dead!"

"If you died, what would I do? I'd have no choice but to inherit all your properties and collect rent every day."

"Boohoohoo X﹏X..."

ヽ(#`Д′)ノ

"Rebellion! This is rebellion!"

"Er Gou! Drag him out and beat him up!!"

"Yes, Boss!"

"&&#%@..."

"Hmph, what makes you think you're worthy of inheriting my properties? Ptooey! You're nothing."

"Don't mind them. Come on, I'll take you to meet the Old Man."

The three of them curiously looked around at everything.

As Ye Yang led the three past, Macao teased, "Oh? Oh? You go out once and bring back two beauties. Which one do you like?"

"Drink your wine. These three are here to join the guild."

Mirajane shielded her younger brother and sister behind her.

"All right, they don't mean any harm. They're just a little improper."

"You'll get used to it later."
