The Secret of the Two

"Buzz!"

The Silvery White Radiance gradually dissipated, and a hint of golden yellow mixed with orange-red entered Gray's field of vision.

"Where... where am I...?"

"Fairy Tail, isn't it written here?"

Hearing the explanation behind him, Gray rubbed his eyes and looked again at the golden light above.

"Fairy Tai... l?"

"Yes!"

"Alright, let's not stand here anymore, let's go inside!"

After saying that, Old Suo took the lead and walked into the guild. Gray glanced at the building in front of him again, and then quickly followed.

"Creak!"

As soon as the door opened, everyone in the hall turned their attention to it.

"Lazy God, you're back? (Member A)"

Ah~~

"Lazy God, is the Northern Continent fun?" (Member B)

"Apart from being a little cold, everything else is great!"

"Lord Sordil, what adventures did you have on your trip? Could you tell us about them? (Member Number One)"

"Okay, but I'll have to wait until I see the president!"

"Then we'll be waiting for you! (Member Number Two)"

"Wakaba, why are you the only one here? Where's Macao? (Old Suo)"

"Lazy God, you don't know this, but Macao got a girlfriend, so he's been mostly absent from the guild lately. (Wakaba)"

"Holy crap! Macao has a girlfriend! Wakaba, you're really going to lose this time! (Old Suo)"

"Hmph! That's not necessarily true! (Wakaba)"

"Heh! Wakaba, being stubborn won't help! (Bohr)"

"Exactly! (Churchill)"

"You two are asking for a beating! (Wakaba)"

"Tch! Who's afraid of who! (Bohr, Churchill)"

The moment the words left his mouth, the three of them started fighting.

As a hardcore, die-hard fan, Old Suo knew Fairy Tail's fighting routines very well. To avoid being dragged into the mess, he quickly led Gray away from the battle area.

"Young Master, weren't you supposed to be on a mission?" (Sonia)

"Yes, I just finished a mission."

"And who is the child behind you? (Sonia)"

"Oh... you mean him? I met him on the road. He said he wanted to join the guild, so I brought him back."

After Old Suo finished speaking, Sonia responded with a yes while giving Leena a meaningful look.

"Whoosh!"

Just as the three fell into an eerie silence, a whooshing sound suddenly came from their side and behind.

"Prison /Imprisonment"

After controlling the flying table, Old Suo shouted loudly into the combat area, "Quiet down, everyone!"

The previously chaotic battle zone fell silent instantly after receiving this warning.

"By the way, where is the president? (Old Suo)"

"Lord Sordil, the Guild Master has gone to Clowbar City and will be back soon! (Leena)"

"Um!"

Just as Old Suo nodded to Leena, a strange bell suddenly rang out from the town.

"Ding-dong!"

"Ding-dong!"

"Heh! Gildarts really moves fast!"

Hearing Old Suo's remark, Sonia asked, "Young Master, have you met Gildarts?"

"Ah~ I ran into this guy on my way back. He was on an interesting mission. We chatted for a bit and then parted ways."

"I see! (Sonia, Leena)"

As soon as the three finished speaking, the once quiet town erupted in excitement.

"Magnolia is about to switch to Gildarts Mode. All citizens, please move to the designated location immediately!"

"Heh! Gildarts always makes such a big fuss every time he comes back!"

As soon as Old Suo finished speaking, everyone in the hall turned to look at him and then said in unison, "Do you even have the right to criticize others?"

Upon hearing this, Old Suo scratched the back of his head and gave an awkward laugh.

A moment later, the ground trembled, followed by the sound of sparse footsteps on the street.

"Open the door quickly, or that idiot will break it down again!"

Upon hearing Old Suo's shout, two people immediately ran out from the combat zone.

"Creak!"

As the hinges turned, the orange-red door slowly opened.

"Let's go, let's go meet him!" (Old Suo)

"Okay! (Sonia, Leena)"

Just as Old Suo was about to leave, a head popped out from behind the counter and shouted at him, "Lazy God, the chairman wants to see you!"

"You two keep an eye on Gray for me, I'll be right back!"

"Lord Sordil, please rest assured, we will take good care of this little one!" (Leena)

He smiled at Leena, then Old Suo around and said, "Gray, you should get familiar with the guild by learning from these two ladies. I'll help you with the formalities as soon as the guild leader returns."

"Um!"

After Gray nodded in agreement, His Majesty the Emperor walked straight toward the counter.

As Gray watched Old Suo's retreating figure, something suddenly popped into his mind.

"Sister Sonia!"

"Gray, is there something you need?"

"Sister, didn't you say the president wasn't here? Then why did that uncle say the president had something to discuss with Sordil?"

"Gray, there is something in this world called Communication Magic Crystal. As long as you use it, you can communicate even if you are in two different places."

"Oh! Is that so? What does this Communication Magic Crystal look like?"

Upon hearing his question, Sonia and Lena exchanged a smile, and then Leena took out a round Crystal ball from behind her back.

"Gray, this is the Communication Magic Crystal! (Leena)"

After examining the Magic Crystal closely, the black-haired boy asked again, "Huh? Sister Leena, there's nothing behind you. Where did you take the Communication Magic Crystal from?"

"Oh, this? Speaking of this, I have to tell you all about it! (Leena)"

Immediately afterwards, Leena and the other person taught Gray about magic while leading him outside.

"President, I heard you went to the routine meeting?"

Upon hearing Old Suo's question, the White-haired elder in the Communication Magic Crystal nodded.

"That's right!"

"What do you need me for?"

After Old Suo finished speaking, Makarov did not answer him immediately, but asked in a low voice, "Is there anyone else with you?"

Old Suo turned his head and glanced behind him before replying, "Everyone else has gone out; I'm all alone here!"

Hearing this, Makarov breathed a sigh of relief and said, "You naughty boy, come to Clowbar City right now, oh... and remember to bring plenty of money!"

"President... you wouldn't...?"

Seeing the His Majesty the Emperor's suspicious look, Makarov's eyes began to dart around.

"Holy crap! President, you really..."

Shh! Be quiet, come and save me!

After covering his right cheek with his hand, Old Suo said speechlessly, "Chairman, what did you say last time? Why are you saying this again..."

Upon seeing Sordil bring up the old matter again, Makarov glared and growled in a low voice, "Hmph! You brat, if you don't come to save me right now, I'll tell your husband about this when I get back!"

"President, you can't just say things like that! I didn't do anything!"

"Hmph! Still trying to hide it from me? Do you think I don't know where you take Laxus and the other two every day? Want me to recite it to you?"

"No, no, no, I'm scared of you! I'll come pick you up, okay?"

"If you had done this earlier, none of this would have happened!"

Seeing the smug Makarov, Old Suo slumped down, head bowed in dejection. Then, he shut down the Communication Magic Crystal and vanished from behind the counter, stepping on a silvery glow.

The instant Old Suo disappeared, a large group of people returned to the hall noisily.

"Gildarts, I heard you wiped out the Gojo Bridge Family yourself? (Member A)"

"Yes!"

"Wow, that's amazing!" (Member B)

"Heh! What's so special about that? If Lazy God got serious, he could probably take down twenty of the Gojo Bridge Family. (Gildarts)"

"Is that idiot really that good? (Gray)"

Hearing the questioning voice from one side, Gildarts turned his gaze to the other party.

"Who is this child...? (Gildarts)"

"His name is Gray, and Lord Sordil just brought him back! (Leena)"

"Has the Lazy God returned? (Gildarts)"

"I got back about seven or eight minutes earlier than you, and I'm talking to the chairman at the bar right now! (Wakaba)"

"Hey, you guys still haven't answered my question!" (Gray)

Just as everyone was preparing to tell the black-haired boy about His Majesty the Emperor's glorious deeds, these guys who had experienced many storms were all shocked.

"Hey kid, where are your clothes?" (Member C)

"Wow! I didn't expect someone so young to have such a free-spirited personality! (Member Ding)"

"Wow, what a great figure! (Member Number Two)"

"Idiot! Put your clothes on right now! (Leena)"

After being reminded by the others, Gray's thick nerves finally caught on, so he hurriedly picked up the clothes on the ground and quickly put them on.

"Heh! No wonder the Lazy God has his eye on this man... He's got potential! (Gildarts)"

Upon hearing this and seeing the manly smile on Gildarts's face, the male members surrounding him all laughed along.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Just as these LSPs were laughing their heads off, the female members, led by Sonia, delivered a righteous hammer to them.

A moment later, apart from Gray, who was still a child, all the other males were lying on the ground... well, some were lying face down, and some were in all sorts of strange shapes, which I won't go into detail about.

"Gray, stay away from these guys from now on, or your sisters won't love you anymore!" (Sonia)

Although Gray didn't understand what had just happened, he still nodded obediently.

"Come on, let your older sisters show you around the guild! (Leena)"

With that, Leena and the other woman took Gray's hands and, escorted by a group of beautiful women, began their tour.
