"Cut the crap. If you want to fight, then fight. When have you ever managed to beat me?"
"Damn it! Get her!"
"Wait!"
The obvious leader glanced at Yun Feiyang before saying to Mirajane, "So you brought help. No wonder you dared to act so arrogant!"
"What a joke. He's just passing by. I don't need anyone's help!"
"Is that so?"
Yun Feiyang raised a hand and called out, "Boss, she's right. This has nothing to do with me. You don't mind if I watch from the side, do you?"
"Then you'd better behave yourself, or we'll beat you up too!"
"Brothers, get them!"
Of the four men, three charged at Mirajane, while Jimmy rushed this way.
"Elfman Nii-chan, protect yourself!"
Lisanna bravely stood in front of her brother.
"Move aside, Lisanna. Otherwise, people will say I bully the weak."
Oh? He actually had some principles!
"No! I won't let you bully Elfman Nii-chan!"
"You brought this on yourself!"
Jimmy threw a punch. Though Lisanna was frightened, she still raised her frying pan and met his attack.
Just as his fist was about to hit Lisanna's face, it suddenly veered aside.
As Jimmy stared blankly, the frying pan smacked into his face.
"I'll beat you to death! I'll beat you to death! How dare you bully Elfman Nii-chan!"
Lisanna beat Jimmy until he howled in pain!
Yun Feiyang smiled and stopped paying attention to that side.
Mirajane was in much the same situation. Every attack about to land on her somehow slid away.
As if aided by God, Mirajane fought three against one and sent all three fleeing with their heads in their hands!
"Haha... Rayne, why are you all so useless today?"
"Come on, fight back!"
At that moment, Mirajane felt like she could take on ten people!
"Damn it!"
Rayne, who had been knocked to the ground, was overcome by malice. He grabbed an iron rod from the ground and swung it at Mirajane's head!
"Mira!"
"Big Sister!"
Lisanna and Elfman went pale with fright and charged over without hesitation!
Mirajane turned around, her face going pale as well. It was already too late to react!
Just as the iron rod was about to strike Mira's forehead, it was caught with a snap by one hand!
"You..."
Mira stared blankly at the man before her!
"Messing around is one thing, but using a weapon is going too far. Are you trying to kill someone?"
Under Yun Feiyang's gaze, Rayne felt as though he were being watched by a ferocious beast, trembling uncontrollably in fear!
"Get lost!"
Fear erupted in his heart. Rayne could no longer hold on and turned to run!
As soon as he ran, the other three ran after him!
"Thank you, thank you for saving Mira!"
"Thank you so much!"
Lisanna and Elfman ran over, thanking him profusely!
Mira curled her lips. "It was only one hit. I didn't need his help at all!"
The three of them simply ignored this prideful, stubborn woman!
Lisanna asked excitedly, "You're amazing! How did you zip over from there to here in an instant?"
"Because I'm a mage!"
"A mage?!"
The three cried out in surprise!
"So you're a mage. No wonder!"
To ordinary people, Mages could fly through the sky and burrow through the earth; there was nothing they could not do!
Mira finally realized. "So you were secretly helping me just now, weren't you?"
Yun Feiyang smiled. "It was nothing!"
"Why did you help me? We don't even know each other!"
"Well, because I have a feeling that you'll become my partner someday!"
"Partner?"
"That's right, Partners from the same Guild!"
"Tch, that excuse for hitting on me is awful!"
Mira obviously did not believe him, and neither did Elfman or Lisanna.
"Don't be fooled by how fierce Mira is. She's actually very gentle!"
"Good luck! I'm rooting for you!"
Mira flushed with embarrassment and anger. "Lisanna, what nonsense are you talking about?"
Yun Feiyang was speechless. It seemed they had misunderstood!
Glancing at Mira's flat chest, Yun Feiyang said blandly, "You're overthinking it. I'm very picky!"
"You bastard!"
That look did little damage, but it was incredibly insulting!
Mira immediately tried to fight him to the death, but her younger brother and sister held her back tightly!
"All right, I came here for a mission. I'll come find you after I finish it!"
"A mission? What mission?"
"Didn't people die here? Your village chief commissioned our Guild, and I took the job."
"So that's what it was. We knew about this!"
"By the way, could you tell me how to get to the village chief's house?"
"We'll take you there ourselves!"
"That works. Thank you for the trouble!"
The three White Hairs said they would lead the way, yet all three looked extremely excited.
"Hey, since it's a mission, you'll get paid, right?"
"Of course. The client commissions the Guild, and the price depends on the mission's difficulty! Also, don't call me hey. My name is Feiyang."
"I don't care what your name is. What I want to know is how much the village chief paid you!"
"Because it involves a Demon, the price is rather high. It was set at one million J. If it's a powerful Demon, the price will rise even further."
"One million J?!"
The three cried out in surprise. That was so much money!
Mira's eyes in particular practically lit up like bulbs.
"That damn village chief! For such a minor matter, he actually hired outsiders and spent so much money!"
"A minor matter? What do you know?"
Mira said disdainfully, "It is a minor matter. What Demon? It was obviously a wild beast attacking people!"
"Are you sure it was a wild beast?"
"Feiyang Nii-chan, it's like this!"
Lisanna explained, "Those two people died in the forest outside the village, so everyone guessed they had been bitten to death by wild beasts."
"And..."
Lisanna pointed at Little White lying on Yun Feiyang's shoulder. "I've wanted to ask since earlier. Is it a wolf?"
"No, it's a puppy!"
"Little White!"
"Woof woof woof~~"
Little White was sensible this time, though it looked rather aggrieved!
"So cute! Can I hold it?"
"Of course!"
Without needing Yun Feiyang's instruction, Little White jumped into Lisanna's arms and rubbed against her, making her giggle.
Elfman looked envious, while Mira kept glancing over.
"Back to what we were discussing!"
"If wild beasts attacked people, why did the village chief say a Demon was harming people?"
Mira explained, "Apparently, someone witnessed it at the time. He said what he saw was a Demon, but he seemed to have been frightened out of his mind and spoke incoherently, so nobody in the village believed him."
"Only one person saw it? What about the victims' wounds? There should still be differences between Demons and wild beasts!"
"How would we know that?"
That made sense. Children naturally would not be involved in such matters.
Mira declared, "There definitely isn't any Demon. Otherwise, we couldn't have lived here for so long without anything happening!"
"What you said makes sense, but it doesn't rule out an outsider Demon."
"So what if it's a Demon? You're counting on him? You're about the same age as me. If you can do it, so can I!"
Mira shouted, "I've decided! Later, I'll make that village chief cancel the commission, and I'll handle this myself!"
Yun Feiyang mocked, "I think you're really after the mission reward!"
"What? Is that not allowed? That's one million J! Why should outsiders earn it?"
"Because I'm a mage, and you're not!"
"What's so impressive about being such a young mage? Maybe you can't even beat me. Whatever you can do, I can do too—and better!"
"Are you sure?"
"Of course!"
"I can pee standing up. Can you?"
"I..."
"What about you? If you can, then go ahead! Hahaha..."
Mira's face turned bright red. Furious from humiliation, she roared, "I'll kill you!"
