Fairy Tail: Vector Manipulation

"Could it be that you've fallen for someone else? Tell me who it is, and I'll go kill him." Her tone was vicious, yet no one could take it seriously.

"Hey, hey, Chen Fan, just give up already. How many times has this been that you've confessed to Mira? And who knows how many love songs you've gone through. I really don't know where you learned so many of them." Warren teased from the side.

"Why has no one confessed to me?" Kana seemed to have found another reason to drink, continuing to gulp down alcohol.

"What do you illiterates know? This is 'love'... It's the power of love that gives me the inspiration to create. And Kana, don't pin your motivation for drinking on me. If you want to drink, just say so. It's not like you didn't drink when I wasn't singing." Chen Fan looked at Warren and Kana with disdain.

"What? You called me illiterate? Look at the two words written on your back, 'Benevolence.' I've never seen you show any benevolence." Seeing Chen Fan about to retort, Warren raised a hand to stop him. "Don't treat me like Natsu. Do you think I don't understand art?" Then he scratched his chin. "Oh, right. Natsu should be back soon too."

Seeing Warren had completely killed the conversation, Chen Fan stopped paying attention to him and said to Kana, "You'd be a very charming woman if you drank a little less." Chen Fan wanted Kana to cut back on alcohol too. Drinking like this really wasn't good for her health.

"Mind your own business, hic." Kana's face was flushed, as though she were drunk.

"Don't pull that third-rate romance drama nonsense on me. Even if you drank yourself into a dead pig, I wouldn't lay a finger on you." Chen Fan knew Kana's alcohol tolerance. This much was nothing to her, and he had only learned that after certain things had happened. Everyone could use their imagination; understanding it in their hearts was enough.

Sure enough, the blush on Kana's face vanished at once. "Tch, what a boring man."

"What? You dare say that about me? Let me tell you, I don't hit women, because hitting girls makes a man lose his manliness. Right, Elfman?" Chen Fan turned to Elfman.

But when he turned around, he saw Elfman asleep with his head on the table. Chen Fan immediately got angry and reached out to smack Elfman, waking him up.

Rubbing his bleary eyes, Elfman said, "Boss Chen Fan, did my sister reject you again?"

Chen Fan froze. After a while, he recovered and said, "How did you know? You weren't asleep just now, were you?" His final words carried a hint of accusation.

"No. It's because every time Boss Chen Fan gets rejected by my sister, you come take it out on me. After Erza rejects you, you take it out on Gray. After Levy rejects you, you take it out on the Guild Master. After..."

"Stop, stop, stop." Seeing Elfman intended to continue, Chen Fan cut him off while making a stop gesture.

"How do you know all that so clearly?" Chen Fan was genuinely puzzled. How could someone as dim-witted as Elfman know so much? Chen Fan himself had never noticed these little habits.

"Boss, are you thinking, how does someone as dim-witted as Elfman know all that so clearly?" Elfman stared at Chen Fan.

That truly scared Chen Fan. He stared at Elfman, dumbfounded.

Then Elfman continued, "After following Boss for so long, even the dumbest person would become smart." With that, he lay back down on the table and continued sleeping.

Chen Fan was truly frightened. He hurried away from Elfman, no longer daring to mess with him. Who would have thought that this big idiot had suddenly wised up and become so clever? Maybe one day he would turn the tables on Chen Fan.

With a bang, the doors of Fairy Tail were kicked open, and Natsu shouted, "I'm back!"

"Welcome back."

"Welcome back."

"You caused another huge scene, Hargen..." said a bucktoothed man.

"Bastard..." Natsu kicked the bucktoothed man away, smashing a set of table and chairs, then said, "The information you gave me about the Fire Dragon God was fake."

"Why?" Lucy commented from the side.

The bucktoothed man struggled to speak from the floor. "How would I know? I only told you some rumors about the Fire Dragon."

"What did you say?" Another kick flew at him.

"What, you want to fight, bastard?"

Bang, bang... The sound of tables and chairs breaking rang out.
