New Skill Unlocked: Sleepwalking!

"Xiao Ou, has Jellal made any moves lately?"

"As per your instructions, I taught him the method of condensing Thought Body and directed him to the Magic Development Bureau. He is currently studying magic in a special training program and hasn't made any major moves yet."

"Did you ask him who the guy in charge of the training program was? (Old Suo)"

"He mentioned it once before, I think his name was Brian!"

"Teacher, is there a problem?"

"No! It's nothing!" (Old Suo)

"By the way, what about the Tower of Paradise? (Old Suo)"

"Everything is going smoothly at the Tower of Paradise, and it should be completed within the timeframe you requested."

"Hmm! (Old Suo)"

"Contact me immediately if anything happens! (Old Suo)"

"Clear!"

After hanging up the mentor-apprentice hotline on the left, Old Suo dialed another number.

"Lady, how have you been lately?"

"Hmph! You finally contacted me! I thought you'd forgotten about me!"

"Heh! How could that be!" (Old Suo)

"Tch! Of course you would!"

"Speak, what do you want this time?"

"Look at what you're saying, can't I just chat with you occasionally? (Old Suo)"

"Oh~"

"Then I'll hang up!"

"Hey, hey... no, no, no! (Old Suo)"

"I knew it!"

"Speak!"

Do you remember Brian (Old Suo)?

"Nonsense! Even if I forget who you are, I'll never forget him!" (At this point, Old Suo was sweating profusely.)

"Um... could you help me investigate this guy's whereabouts over the past few years? (Old Suo)"

I'll do my best! But you'd better not get your hopes up too high!

"Huh??? (Old Suo)"

"The Balam Alliance has been quite turbulent lately, so my movements have been greatly restricted."

"Has something serious happened?" (Old Suo)

"Actually, it's nothing much, just the three families fighting over territory!"

"I remember the Tartaros didn't care about these things, and your Grimoire Heart has always been stronger than the Grimoire Heart. How could this happen?" (Old Suo)

"Hehe! I don't know what's going on lately, Tartaros have suddenly started to expand their power, and our guild leader has followed suit, so things have gotten lively."

"The Tartaros are expanding their power? (Old Suo)"

"Hey, I have to get going now, let's talk again later!"

Just as Old Suo was saying 'hello' into the microphone, the world suddenly began to shake, and at the same time, a series of loud sounds pierced through the world barrier and entered his ears.

"Young Master!"

"Young Master!"

A flash of white light appeared, and two black curtains slowly opened, revealing a slightly yellowed carriage tent in a pair of black pupils.

"Young Master, we've arrived. Please get out of the car quickly!"

Hearing the soft, sweet voice in his ear, the silver-haired boy finally remembered his current predicament.

"Have we arrived yet?"

"Yes, young master!"

After confirming the news, the silver-haired boy stepped off the carriage under the bright sunlight.

"Phew~"

"Haven't been here in a while, I didn't expect it to have changed so much!" (Old Suo)

"Yes!"

"Let's go, we still have a lot to do!" (Old Suo)

"Um!"

With that, Old Suo took the lead and headed towards his destination. After waking up his maid, she quickly followed after paying the fee.

"Knock knock"

"Knock knock knock"

"Knock knock"

"Squeak!"

After a specific melody began to play, the door hidden in the darkness opened rapidly, and two black figures quickly darted into the room.

Upon seeing the visitors, the middle-aged man in the room exclaimed excitedly, "You've finally arrived!"

"I arrived much earlier, but I was afraid of revealing my identity, so I waited until now to come." (Cloaked man)

"Are you... are you all alright?" (The cloaked woman)

"I'm fine, it's just... it's just that she's so lonely!" (Middle-aged man)

"You two keep talking, I'll go out and keep an eye on things!" (The cloaked man)

Upon seeing the figures at the door, the middle-aged man and the woman in the cloak both nodded respectfully to each other.

"Alright, time is running out, you two better make the most of it!"

After speaking, the cloaked man gradually faded into nothingness and finally disappeared completely.

"Crack!"

Hearing the commotion behind him, the cloaked man's lips curled up slightly.

"I thought you two were going to spend a few more days together, but I didn't expect you to be back so soon!" (Cloaked man)

"Didn't you also avoid intimacy with your wife?"

"Puff!"

"Cough cough!"

The cloaked woman chuckled as she watched the cloaked man wiping his clothes.

"Why does everyone like to make fun of me?" (The cloaked man)

"Heh! I've heard that you're always the one who flirts with others first, haven't you? (Cloaked woman)"

"Cough cough!"

After being proven wrong, the cloaked man cleared his throat awkwardly and said, "Let's not talk about that now. How's the matter I asked you to inquire about?"

"Just as you predicted, he's already gone!" (Cloaked woman)

"So it turned out like this!" (The cloaked man)

"So what should we do next?" (Cloaked woman)

"Take this letter to the lady; she will arrange everything herself!" (The cloaked man)

"Your subordinate obeys!" (Cloaked woman)

After taking a few steps, the cloaked man suddenly turned around and said, "By the way, you'd better take good care of yourself, otherwise I won't be able to explain to your two family members."

"Thank you for your concern, young master. I will take good care of myself!" (Cloaked woman)

Magnolia, Fairy Tail Hall

"Hey, give me that thing!" (Member A)

"Okay!" (Member B)

After receiving the item, Member A gestured with his lip towards a certain spot in the distance and asked, "What are they doing over there?"

"Heh! I guess the Lazy God is up to some new trick again!"

"That Lazy God guy is really... hehe! (Member A)"

"Shh!"

"Keep your voice down, Lazy God God's hearing is incredibly sharp!"

"Alright! Let's get back to work!" (Member A)

After saying that, the two of them went back to their work.

"Old Suo, isn't this a bit inappropriate? (Kana)"

"Tch! What's wrong with it!" (Old Suo)

"Boss, I advise you not to do this, or the old man will beat you to death!" (Laxus)

"Hmph! They know I'm not cut out for this, yet they force me to do it. Don't blame me then!" (Old Suo)

"Lazy God, since you've already promised the president, you'd better get down to business and start preparing properly. (Erza)"

"I think it's quite fun to do!" (Mira)

"Hey, you belly-up guy, what nonsense are you spouting? (Erza)"

"Hmph! You're the one talking nonsense!" (Mira)

"What did you say? You want to fight? (Erza)"

"Let's fight! Who's afraid of who!" (Mirajane)

"Bang bang"

"Slap slap"

After handing over the space to the two who were locked in a fierce confrontation, Old Suo and the others moved their conversation to another location with their belongings.

"Boss, remember to remind me before you go on stage!" (Laxus)

"Okay! (Old Suo)"

"Ugh! I'm really... thud!"

After Kana fainted first, the guild members collapsed to the ground one after another.

"Sleep Magic? Could it be...?"

Having formed a guess in his mind, Old Suo hurriedly began to circulate the magic power within his body.

"Buzz!"

With a flash of seven-colored light, the dizziness in my mind vanished instantly.

"Da da"

"Da da"

Watching the dark figure slowly walk into the gate, Old Suo quickly walked to the side of another conscious person.

"President, who is this guy...?"

Before Makarov could answer, the shadowy figure cried out in surprise.

"Great, I'm so glad to finally see you!"

Hearing that somewhat familiar voice, and based on his guesses, His Majesty the Emperor tentatively asked, "Are you... Mystogan?"

"It's me!"

"Hmph! I thought you'd even forgotten the guy you recommended!"

Hearing the president's sarcasm, Old Suo explained with a dark face, "I was just saying it casually at the time, who would have thought that this guy would actually come, and so quickly!"

"Hmph! It's not that he arrived quickly, it's that you've been out there having too many affairs! (Makarov)"

"Hey, President, don't talk nonsense! Someone could get killed!!!"

Seeing the terrified His Majesty the Emperor, the guild leader laughed and said, "Hehe! So you have something you're afraid of, huh!"

Just as His Majesty the Emperor was about to retort, the Blue-haired boy who had been listening for a long time said, "President, I have something I'd like to discuss with Senior Sordil privately. Could you... could you..."

"Heh! You can't tell me about this; it depends on his mood!"

Upon hearing this, the Blue-haired boy... well, he should be called a masked boy now, right? Oh well, who cares what kind of boy he is, he turned his gaze to the Silver-haired uncle to the side.

"This place isn't convenient, let's go somewhere else!" (Old Suo)

"Hmm! (Rice)"

Seeing the two about to leave the guild, Makarov, who was pouring wine into his mouth, said, "Lazybones, remember to come back on time!"

"Learn!"

The moment the voice faded, the two boys vanished from the guild.

Rubbing her aching forehead, the brown-haired girl complained, "That guy Mystogan is so mean! He always gives us such headaches!"

"Hmph! One day I'll find this guy and teach him a lesson in the unpleasant feeling of being forced to sleep! (Laxus)"

"Huh? Where did Uncle Lazy God go? (Natsu)"

"What? (La, Ka)"

"Really! (Gray)"

Just as everyone was desperately searching for a certain god, a scream suddenly rang out in the hall.

Ah~~

"Kana, what's wrong? (Gray)"

"That Old Suo... could he be Old Suo?"

Upon hearing this conjecture, everyone first shook their heads, but soon their denial gradually Dissolution. Then, everyone adopted a look of reminiscence, and then... everyone's face darkened.

"Um... surely the Lazy God Uncle isn't that unreliable, right? (Natsu)"

"While I'd love to agree with you, well... he's Lazy God after all! (Macao)"

After objective verification, everyone raised their right hand to press against their constantly shaking foreheads. (Since the president was currently engaged in a duel with the barrel, things had progressed perfectly to this point.)
