(Seeking Sanjiang votes!)
(A huge thank you to 'Lone Drifting Ice and Fire' for the 10,000 reward! 'They're All My Little Brothers' for the 1,888 reward! And thanks to 'Shadow of Ti', 'Panda!', 'Yunqi Qinggu', 'Qiguan Xuanqi', and 'rtcc' for their rewards!)
(We're currently in first place on the Sanjiang list, and I hope everyone can vote for this book every day so we can hold onto it. People say a novel like this can't possibly get first place without cheating or using bots. I don't want to use bots; that's not real strength. So, I'm relying on forming alliances. Friends, let's show them the burning spirit of our otaku comrades!)
The moment a loud crash rang out, everyone in the guild turned their attention to the source of the sound. When they saw Natsu and Gray lying on the ground with bumps on their heads and stars in their eyes, everyone nonchalantly looked away and resumed their conversations.
There was no helping it, this kind of scene played out in the guild almost every day, and the Mages in the guild had long since grown accustomed to it.
Not just the Mages in the guild, even Noah himself was used to it. After a habitual sigh, he greeted everyone as if nothing had happened.
"Good morning!"
"Good morning!" the people in the guild replied one after another.
"Good morning, Noah and Lisanna!"
From the crowd, three girls of the same age as Noah also approached.
One of them wore cold armor with a plain dress underneath.
One wore revealing leather clothing, like a delinquent girl.
And the last one wore a simple plaid dress, her dark hair tied into a ponytail.
The one wearing the cold armor was naturally Erza.
The one wearing the revealing leather clothing was Mira.
As for the one who had her dark hair tied into a ponytail, her name was Kana, Kana Alberona, who had joined Fairy Tail even earlier than Noah, Erza, and even Gray.
"You guys really never learn your lesson!" Erza said, placing her hands on her hips and looking at Natsu and Gray on the ground, criticizing them sternly.
"If you want to defeat Noah, you at least need to prepare more thoroughly. Just rushing in like that is nothing more than a sneak attack, even if you win, it doesn't count as real strength!"
"E... Erza..." Natsu shuddered, clutching the bump on his head, looking tearful.
"Don't stop me, I must defeat Noah today, so I can prove that I'm stronger than Gray!"
"Who are you saying is stronger than me?" Gray also clutched the large bump on his head, curling his lip in disdain.
"The one who defeats Noah will definitely be me, there's no way you, you stinky fire, can do it!"
"But you were defeated by Noah in an instant, you know!" Kana glanced at Gray, who was only wearing a pair of shorts, and said with a troubled expression.
"And, Gray, where are your clothes?"
"Crap!" Gray exclaimed in shock.
"Speaking of which, Noah, did you have Lisanna wake you up again?!" Mira looked at Lisanna, who was hiding next to Noah with a smile on her face, and couldn't help but feel annoyed.
"Don't just treat other people's sister like a servant, it's just a mere Noah!"
"First of all, Lisanna waking me up wasn't my doing, Lisanna came on her own." Noah rubbed his aching forehead.
"Secondly, Mira, what's with the 'mere Noah' thing?"
"Noah is very strong!" Erza also retorted to Mira.
"Mira, are you insulting Noah?"
"Tch." Mira crossed her arms, saying disdainfully.
"What's it to you? Hard-as-nails woman!"
A vein instantly popped on Erza's forehead as she looked at Mira with a fake smile.
"Are you insulting me? Belly-baring woman!"
"Want to fight?" Mira grinned and cracked her knuckles.
"Perfect, I'll definitely teach you a lesson today, you cold-hearted thing!"
"Oh?" A murderous aura also appeared on Erza's face.
"If you think you can, then try it!"
Instantly, the gazes of the two girls met, turning into tangible electricity that collided fiercely, radiating a chilling, demonic aura.
"S... so scary..." Natsu and Gray huddled together, lacking any backbone.
"Seriously?" Kana also took a few steps back.
"Are they going to fight again?"
"This isn't called fighting, it's called making trouble." Noah found his head hurting more and more.
"Why do these two dislike each other so much?"
"Isn't it good this way?" Lisanna watched Mira, who was entangled with Erza, with a gentle look in her eyes.
"Compared to the old Mira, isn't the current Mira much more cheerful?"
When she first arrived at Fairy Tail, Mira was basically exactly the same as the old Erza, not talking to anyone, never smiling, just hiding alone in a corner wearing a cloak, as if her existence was dispensable.
However, later, as Lisanna and Elfman also learned Take Over Magic, Mira finally gradually accepted the demonic power residing within her body and was no longer so isolated.
In addition, as Mira became more familiar with Take Over Magic, her demonized arm also returned to its original state. Before long, just like when she first met Noah, Mira became a full-fledged delinquent girl.
Unfortunately, perhaps because Noah had privately told both Mira and Erza that they acted similarly when they first joined the guild, the two of them started to dislike each other.
As a result, Fairy Tail's second pair of rivals was born.
By the way, the first pair is Natsu and Gray.
Seeing this, Noah's expression softened a bit, but his headache didn't lessen at all.
"Isn't this a bit too cheerful?"
"Ahaha…" Lisanna also chuckled awkwardly.
"Seriously, Mira is clearly very kind, but she doesn't want to show it, always putting on a strong front. How is she ever going to get a boyfriend like that?"
"While whether she's actually kind is debatable, isn't thinking about getting a boyfriend a bit early? " Noah said, a bit embarrassed.
"Mira is only thirteen, like me, right?"
"Thinking about that kind of thing at thirteen, that's just how girls are…" Lisanna tilted her head slightly, meeting Noah's gaze. Her eyes, at that moment, became like the clear surface of water, shimmering and swaying.
"Actually, eleven-year-old girls are the same, Noah."
Listening to Lisanna's meaningful words, and taking in the shimmering look in her eyes, Noah felt a little uneasy, his heart inexplicably flustered, and he couldn't help but look away.
But at that moment, Noah felt a soft little hand suddenly slip into his own, tightly clasping it.
Noah was startled and instinctively looked at Lisanna again.
Lisanna was still looking up, gazing at Noah with passionate eyes.
The hand that had slipped into Noah's, tightly holding his, was naturally Lisanna's.
Faced with Lisanna's behavior, Noah could only avert his gaze.
This wasn't the first time Lisanna had done something like this.
Noah didn't know when it had started.
He only knew that at certain times, especially when they were alone, Lisanna would occasionally show this aggressively forward side, as if launching some kind of attack on Noah, repeatedly leaving him at a loss.
Surprisingly, Noah couldn't bring himself to dislike Lisanna like this, but feeling embarrassed was inevitable.
So, Noah could only resort to his usual weapon in these situations.
"What are you talking about?" Placing his free hand on Lisanna's little head, Noah ruffled her hair.
"You're just a little Lisanna, don't act like you know everything!"
"Uwaa!" Lisanna struggled haphazardly.
"Noah, you're so mean, you always do this!"
"That's what you get for always teasing me, you deserve some punishment!"
"I wasn't teasing you, Noah is an idiot!"
"You dare call me an idiot, watch this…"
"Uwaa! Uwaa!"
"That darn Noah!" Mira, who was grappling with Erza, was furious and abandoned Erza, pouncing over here.
"Don't you bully Lisanna!"
"You think you can escape?!" Seeing Mira abandon her, Erza was also enraged and followed.
"Oh, oh, oh! I'm all fired up!"
"Fighting? Count me in!"
Natsu and Gray rushed over, full of enthusiasm.
"Get out of the way!"
Then they were punched away by the enraged Erza and Mira, one punch each.
For a moment, the whole scene turned into a chaotic mess.
