Fairy Tail: Vector Manipulation Chapter 35

Chen Fan suddenly stood up and looked at the blood moon in the sky. In a low voice, he said, "Jellal, don't disappoint me."

Chapter 20: Mystogan

"Oh... I'm back! Sure enough, breathing free air feels the best. This is just too great!" Natsu shouted happily the moment he returned to the guild.

"Hey, hey, hey, what kind of talk is that? You make it sound like I was abusing you." Chen Fan was very dissatisfied when he heard Natsu. At least he had not made him stay in a prison cell; the regular room had perfectly good facilities. As for the deluxe room, Chen Fan had prepared that for himself, but he had let Erza use it this time.

"Oh, sorry, I misspoke. Pretend I didn't say anything." Natsu scratched his head sheepishly.

Seeing Natsu admit his mistake, Chen Fan did not intend to pursue it. "Forget it, forget it. I can help with something this small. If anything happens in the future, you'll have to bear it yourselves. You're grown up now, after all." As Chen Fan said this, he could not help sighing. Counting both lifetimes, he was already over forty. Otherwise, he would not have been hanging around old guys like Macao.

"What are you talking about? You make yourself sound so old." Natsu curled his lip. Without waiting for Chen Fan to reply, he started shouting again.

"Oh... freedom is so precious! This feels incredible! Oh... hahaha... ha..." he cried as he ran around.

"You're so annoying. Can't you be quiet for once?" Draer said from the side. I worried for nothing. I didn't expect this bastard to be so happy.

At that moment, Chen Fan and Erza walked over to Makarov. Erza said, "I'm back, Master."

"Mm, it's good that you're back. You weren't treated badly over there, were you?" Makarov asked.

"Thanks to Chen Fan, everything was fine. I wasn't subjected to any unfair treatment."

"Mm, Chen Fan, you've worked hard too," Makarov said.

"It was what I should have done. But if you make a mistake, Master, I won't go next time," Chen Fan said from the side.

"Ah! So it was only a formal arrest. I worried for nothing," Lucy said, sprawled across the table.

Hearing Lucy say that, Gray seemed to realize something. He made a fist with his right hand and struck his left palm. "So that's how it is. The frog messenger meant they would be back soon."

"As expected of an Ice Mage. Even your jokes are this cold." Elfman stared at Gray in disbelief. Then, as if he had remembered something, he turned to Natsu and said, "So, Natsu, how did your manly showdown with Erza go?"

Natsu stopped when he heard Elfman's words. "Right, I almost forgot." He turned to Erza. "Erza, let's continue our unfinished duel. Here I come..." Flames wrapped around his hands as he stomped his foot and charged at Erza.

Bang... Erza punched Natsu in the stomach, and he fell over with his eyes rolled white.

"No choice, then. Let's begin," Erza said.

"It's already over." Happy popped out from somewhere to declare the result of the duel.

"Haha."

"Haha, Natsu is such a loser."

"As expected, Erza is still the strongest. Haha." ...Everyone burst into laughter. Chen Fan laughed happily as well. The guild was livelier with Natsu around. If Chen Fan joined in too, the guild would be turned upside down.

Suddenly, Makarov's spirits seemed to flag. Mira noticed and asked, "Master, what's wrong?"

"Mm, so sleepy. It's that guy."

"Mm." Before Mira could ask who he meant, she collapsed to the floor. Before long, everyone in the guild had fallen down. Only Makarov could still hold on, along with Chen Fan. That guy was drinking with full energy.

At that moment, a person completely wrapped in a black cloak, with even his face covered, walked in. It was Mystogan, Fairy Tail's other S-Class Mage.

Chen Fan greeted Mystogan warmly. "Xiao Gang, you haven't been here in a long time. How have you been lately? What did you think of that song, 'Twilight,' that I wrote for you?"

"It was alright." Although Mystogan was somewhat unwilling, he still responded to Chen Fan. In the guild, Chen Fan and Mystogan got along relatively well. Chen Fan was also the only one who had truly seen Mystogan's face.
