I'm Not Picky, as Long as I Can Live in the Girls' Dormitory

"What kind of Magic Beast was it? Was it powerful?"

"No choice. There were countless Magic Beasts. I'd been fighting them for three years!"

"Really? You worked so hard to become stronger, didn't you?"

Become stronger? No, that was my dark history!

Erza pressed the stamp onto Yun Feiyang's chest, then rubbed and tapped it afterward.

"As expected of someone hardworking. Your body is almost as tough as my armor!"

Hey, hey, hey, is that something you can touch whenever you want? Be careful or I'll sue you for sexual harassment!

Unless you let me touch you back!

"Are you strong? Come fight me!"

The scatterbrained Natsu inexplicably got fired up!

"I refuse!"

"Why?"

"I'm tired today. I don't want to fight anymore!"

The current Fire Dragon was just weak trash. There was no fun in bullying him.

"Oh, right!"

Yun Feiyang beckoned, and Little White, who had been sleeping atop his backpack, floated over.

"It's my partner too. Please stamp the Guild emblem on it as well."

"Huh? It's a wolf cub!"

"So cute!"

"What wolf? It's clearly a dog!"

"What are you talking about? It's obviously a wolf!"

"It's a dog!"

"It's a wolf. Are you blind?"

Yun Feiyang got angry and shook Little White awake.

"Give them a shout and let them hear it. You're a dog, not a wolf!"

"Awoo~"

Little White was completely confused!

"See? It's obviously a wolf!"

"It wasn't awake yet, so it made the wrong sound!"

"Little White, do it again!"

"Woof~"

Under its unscrupulous Lord's threat, Helplessness Little White could only surrender.

"See? I told you it was a dog!"

Everyone was covered in black lines. You were the real dog! You had clearly forced it!

At that moment, Makarov walked over with a stack of bills in his hand.

"Here's one hundred thousand J for your living expenses. Leave those pelts with me."

"No problem!"

Yun Feiyang waved, and a huge ball flew over.

"I've wanted to ask since earlier—is that your luggage? Isn't it a little too big?"

"No, it's just some Magic Beast pelts."

"No way! That many?"

When the bundle was opened, it really was packed with pelts. A huge pile spilled out, stunning everyone!

"That's an Earth Tyrant Bear!"

"That's an Ironclad Rhinoceros!"

"That's a Killer Crocodile!"

"There are even Lightning Ferrets!"

"My God, there are so many! They're all extremely powerful Magic Beasts!"

"No way... did you kill all of these?"

Yun Feiyang nodded. "Yep. It took a lot of effort. Several times, I barely escaped danger!"

No, no, no, this was no longer a matter of barely escaping danger. Was this something a human could do?

Just how strong were you? You were clearly just a boy!

Everyone stared at Yun Feiyang as though he were a monster, speechless for a long time.

"Don't be surprised. Feiyang isn't just a mage—he's also a powerful swordsman!"

Everyone suddenly understood. No wonder he carried such a long katana on his back.

Makarov felt it was better not to reveal Yun Feiyang's exact strength. Otherwise, it would crush their spirits!

"Guild Master, where am I staying?"

"Find somewhere yourself."

"Huh? That cold? Don't you even have dormitories?"

Erza said, "There's a girls' dormitory. No boys' dormitory."

"Why? Is this gender discrimination?"

Makarov said expressionlessly, "Do you think something like a boys' dormitory should exist? No, it absolutely should not exist!"

Hiss~ What an enormous grudge!

Seeing everyone's awkward expressions, Yun Feiyang understood!

There definitely used to be a boys' dormitory. But with these people's habits, if one was built, they'd tear one down. Heh heh...

"I see. Then I'll stay in the girls' dormitory. I'm not picky!"

"I object!"

Makarov roared, "Dream on! Go stay at an inn like a good boy."

You wanted to live in the girls' dormitory? Keep dreaming!

If it were possible, would it be your turn? Which man here didn't want to move in?

Kana raised her hand. "If he's handsome, I agree!"

Erza nodded. "Since he's strong, there's nothing we can do about it."

"Huh? Huh? Huh?"

All the men roared in unison, "We object!"

Natsu said enthusiastically, "How about staying at my place? The house belongs to Gildarts Clive, though. I'm only staying there temporarily too. He went off on a job and won't be back anytime soon."

Gildarts Clive was thirty-nine years old. Excluding Guild Master Makarov, he was currently Fairy Tail's only S-Class Mage, perhaps also its strongest mage. His strength might even surpass Makarov's, but he simply didn't show off.

At the same time, he was the Sea King among Sea Kings. Kana was his daughter, though he didn't know it.

Mm... Kana aspired to learn from her father and become a Female Sea King.

His Magic was Super-Class Destruction Magic: Crush, an immensely powerful and terrifying Magic, especially when even its user had trouble controlling it.

Yun Feiyang refused directly. "Moving in without the owner's permission would be extremely rude. I'd better stay at an inn."

"Well then, everyone, see you tomorrow!"

Yun Feiyang turned and left with a carefree flourish.

Actually, he still felt a little regretful. If he could live in the girls' dormitory and have the Fairy Queen sleep beside him, that would be perfect!

He would make do at an inn first. Once he received the money for the pelts, he could rent a place—or simply buy a house.

The next morning, Yun Feiyang left the inn, intending to train.

It was his habit. In a dangerous environment, he had no choice but to work hard. Over the past three years, he had never once slacked off.

He had simply woken up a little late today, because the soft bed was far too comfortable. Having escaped that dangerous environment, he had become somewhat lax.

"This won't do. This world is dangerous too. Even without Magic Beasts, there are even stronger Mages. Humans will always be harder to deal with than beasts. I absolutely can't let my guard down!"

"Little White, don't lie on my head. You'll mess up my handsome hairstyle."

Yun Feiyang plucked Little White off and placed it on his shoulder.

When he arrived behind the Guild, by the riverbank, he found that someone had already beaten him there.

It was Erza. She sat on the bank with her head lowered.

Glistening droplets fell...

Was she crying?

Had she remembered those unbearable experiences?

Although Yun Feiyang had forgotten many details of this world's plot, he still clearly remembered the experiences of several members of the main group—especially the Fairy Queen, who looked strong on the outside but was covered in wounds within.

Yun Feiyang walked over and quietly sat beside her.

"Is something bothering you?"

The sudden uninvited guest startled Erza!

"You..."

Flustered, she hurriedly wiped away her tears and tried to calm herself, because she did not want anyone to see her vulnerable side.

"Why are you here?"

"Am I not allowed to come here?"

"No, that's not it. Please, go ahead. I... I'll leave!"

Erza stood up, wanting to flee in embarrassment.

"Why are you running away?"

Erza's body stiffened, and she covered it up by saying, "I don't understand what you mean!"

Yun Feiyang looked up and smiled. "If you want to cry, cry loudly. If you want to laugh, laugh loudly. Let the sad things pass, and face the life ahead positively. Wouldn't that be better?"

"What do you know? How am I supposed to face a painful past? That feeling of wanting to save someone, of being so close to succeeding, only for it to end in nothing but helplessness—what do you know when you've never experienced that kind of pain?"

For some reason, Erza became angry when she saw his bright smile. Her reason slipped out of control in that moment, and she roared at him, venting everything.
