Fairy Tail Has a Boys' Dormitory (Part 2)
Once the three were seated, the Butler, who had been missing for a long time, entered the hall with a maid serving tea.
"Gentlemen, the wait is tedious. Please have a cup of fragrant tea to ease your mind!"
As soon as the Butler finished speaking, the maid placed teacups in front of the two of them.
He glanced at the teacup in front of him, then used Old Suo Mind Talk warn Sonia not to drink the tea under any circumstances.
"Hehe! Thank you for your kindness, Lord Mayor, but we both need to meditate to recover the magic power we just used up, so we won't be able to enjoy this cup of tea!" (Old Suo)
"Um... I see. Then I won't force you!"
After speaking, the Lord Mayor picked up the teacup in front of him and slowly began to savor the contents.
After Sordil and the other man closed their eyes, the Lord Mayor made a gesture to the Butler.
'What should we do now?' (The following are all in sign language)
"Lord Mayor, they must be extremely weak right now, otherwise they would never have meditated in front of us. Why not take this opportunity to finish them off!"
'No! If these two die here, Fairy Tail will definitely not let it go. Our fate will likely be worse than if we were captured by the king.'
"Lord Mayor, we can send men to knock them unconscious first, then drag them to the White Ape, creating the illusion that they both perished."
'Okay! Let's do it that way!'
Just as the two reached a conclusion and were preparing to take action, a questioning voice suddenly appeared in the hall.
"What? You two have come up with a way to get rid of us?" (Old Suo)
"Heh! What do you mean by that, Your Excellency?" (Butler)
"Alright! Since you don't understand what I mean, I'll find someone to translate for you. (Old Suo)"
After speaking, Old Suo raised his palm and tapped it lightly twice.
"Slap slap"
After the voice faded, a man dressed in silver armor walked in.
"Commander Arcadius, these two men don't understand what I'm saying, so could you please translate for me?"
Upon hearing Old Suo's words, the Knight Commander placed one hand on his chest and said in a stern voice, "I'm happy to serve you!"
Staring at the White Knight before him, the Lord Mayor exclaimed, "You... you... how did you get here?"
"Hmph! Your partner released me to get revenge on you, and then I ran into Mr. Sordil and his group. I don't need to tell you what happened next, do I?"
After Arcadius finished speaking, the Lord Mayor roared, "Hmph! You've probably forgotten where you are!"
"Commander Arcadius, do you need any help? (Old Suo)"
"Haha! Thank you for your kindness, but this guy is no problem for you two to handle; I can manage on my own!"
Having said that, Arcadius drew his sword and slashed at the two men in front of him.
"Bang!"
Because the two dodged in time, the sword only shattered the table and chairs, without injuring them.
After escaping danger, the Lord Mayor and his Butler shouted at the top of their lungs, "Someone! Someone come quickly!"
Seeing the two hysterical individuals, Sordil, feeling sorry for them, kindly reminded them, "You don't need to shout anymore. While you were discussing how to deal with us, Commander Arcadius, along with the Cherry Blossom Knights, arrested all your subordinates."
After Old Suo finished speaking, the Lord Mayor was so angry that he spat out a mouthful of blood and then fainted. The Butler, on the other hand, sat on the ground with a deathly pale face, quietly awaiting his imprisonment.
"Hmph! Guards, take these two scoundrels away!" (Arcadius)
"Yes!"
Not long after he finished speaking, four fully armored warriors came in and dragged the two dead fish off the ground.
After completing his task, Arcadius was about to thank Sordil and his companion when he suddenly realized that Old Suo had left the hall at some point.
Just as he was about to praise Old Suo's noble character in his heart, a discussion arose behind him.
"Young Master, isn't what we're doing wrong?"
"Oh, there's so much money here! We only paid one month's rent, it's nothing!"
"Didn't you already make an agreement with Commander Arcadius to help you with your accommodation? Why do you still need this money?"
"Yes! Arcadius promised to help me find accommodation, but he didn't promise to help you find accommodation, which is why I'm asking for a month's rent!"
"Oh? You're not planning to live with me?"
"Oh, my dear little miss, please spare me! If Irene finds out we're living together, I'm dead!"
"Oh!"
As the discussion subsided, footsteps slowly approached the hall, and then the three of them awkwardly stared at each other!
"Huh? Why did His Majesty Sordil take so long to go to the toilet?"
After sighing, the Knight Commander sat down in the main seat as if no one else was there and began to close his eyes to rest.
Seeing this, Social Sola quietly pulled Sonia back to her seat, then said loudly, "Phew! Sorry, my stomach hasn't been feeling well lately, so it took a little longer than usual. I've kept the Commander waiting!"
"It's alright, I'll take this opportunity to rest and recharge."
After a round of mutual commercial displays, the Knight Commander got down to business.
"Your Majesty Sordil, now that everything is over, shouldn't we leave?"
"Um... Commander Arcadius, what about our reward... (Old Suo)"
Upon hearing this question, the Knight Commander forcibly suppressed his unruly smile and tried his best to maintain a normal tone, saying, "I will pay the reward immediately after I report the matter here to His Majesty!"
After Arcadius finished speaking, Old Suo nodded.
"Alright, in that case, let's leave here!"
After saying this, the three of them left the Lord Mayor's mansion together.
Looking down at the scenery, which was different from when they came, Sonia asked curiously, "Young Master, it seems we're not on the way back to Magnolia?"
"Hehe! We have nowhere to go back to Magnolia now, so let's do something else first!"
"Let's do something else?"
"Sonia, have you forgotten that I said before that I came here to find out where you are?"
"Oh! I remember now! So where do we go next?"
"Currently, there is only one person with definite information, so we will go to Agarifa first."
Upon hearing Old Suo's reply, Sonia obediently said "Oh," then closed her mouth and eyes, quietly feeling the cool breeze coming towards her.
Agarifa, Love & Lucky Merchant Guild
"Miss, could you please help us find Mr. Jude Heartfilia and Miss Leila?"
Upon hearing Old Suo's words, the receptionist opened the list and flipped through it for a while before apologetically saying, "I'm very sorry, Mr. Jude and Miss Leila just took a job and have already left the guild."
"When will they be back?"
"We can't say for sure, but it will take at least four or five days!"
"Thanks!"
"You're welcome!"
Upon seeing Sordil emerge, Sonia immediately went to greet him.
"Young Master, how is it?"
"They've gone out to do business and won't be back for at least four or five days."
"In that case, let's go back to Magnolia!"
"Good!"
When Sordil and his companion returned to Fairy Tail, the Knight Commander was already waiting for them in the hall.
"Huh? Commander Arcadius, what brings you here so quickly? (Old Suo)"
Hearing Old Suo's words, the Knight Commander smiled wryly and said, "Hehe! After His Majesty learned that you had helped me resolve this matter, he immediately approved the reward request and ordered me to send it over as quickly as possible."
"Oh! I see!" (Old Suo)
"Your Majesty Sordil... sir, may you go and collect your payment now?"
"Commander Arcadius, please wait a moment. I'll go and call the guild master. Let's go take a look together."
"Okay, please hurry!"
After Arcadius agreed, Sordil asked Sonia to stay and keep the Knight Commander while he went upstairs to invite Makarov.
A short while later, the group of four left the guild and headed out of town.
Well... since Arcadius was unaware of someone's fatal weakness, he prepared a luxurious carriage for them, and then that person once again hanged themselves from a tree.
"Young Master, are you alright?"
Sordil, are you alright?
Hearing the two questions raised at the same time, Old Suo waved his weak hand and said painfully, "I'm fine, I'm just a little carsick... Ugh!"
"No wonder the young master never takes any transportation when he goes out, but instead uses windboats or Teleportation Array arrays to travel!" (Sonia's inner thoughts)
"I never imagined that the invincible Sordil would have a weakness, and such a low one at that! (Makarov's inner thoughts)"
Fortunately, the journey wasn't long, so Old Suo was soon freed from his suffering.
Once the carriage stopped, a fully healed Sordil dashed out as fast as he could. Seeing this, the other two passengers inside exchanged a glance and then smiled knowingly.
Just as the two were about to get out of the car, a sudden exclamation came from outside.
"Wow! This house is just too... too..."
After identifying the source of the voice, the two, their curiosity piqued, immediately disembarked from the carriage. What then surprised Old Suo greatly naturally came into their view.
Looking at the vast mansion before them, the two repeated and elaborated on Old Suo's earlier exclamation.
"This house is... way too big!" (Why were they surprised? Because the reward prepared by His Majesty the King was about the same size as Lucy's house in the anime.)
Seeing the three people staring in disbelief, Arcadius explained, "This was originally the residence of a lord, but he died in the war, and the place was left vacant. Since you have helped us solve such a big problem, His Majesty has given it to you."
"Gulp"
"This place is so big, I'm sure I'll get lost if I live here alone."
At this point, Old Suo turned to look at Makarov.
"Guild leader, why don't we turn this place into a male dormitory? You and the rest of the guild can move in and give me directions so I don't get lost in the rooms and hallways."
"This is the reward you received for completing the task. Isn't it a bit inappropriate to do this?"
"How about this then? In exchange for converting this place into a dormitory, Sonia will be exempt from the fees for living in the girls' dormitory." (Old Suo)
"Okay! (Makarov)"
