This Seat Also Feels Shameless

Most of the "Fairy Tail" guild members were naturally outgoing. After Makarov's introduction and a "big fish feast" prepared by Ul, he quickly got along with the rest of the guild.

Seizing the opportunity!

Makarov also threw Ul a belated welcome banquet.

And then!

That old geezer got drunk again!

Sometimes, Ul wondered if Makarov's real reason for hosting a banquet for every new guild member was just to find a legitimate excuse to drink.

The banquet atmosphere was lively and passionate...

After all, a banquet in this world was a real banquet, completely different from the "banquets" of Ul's past life where a bunch of people gathered to play on their phones.

Even though Ul wasn't the type to enjoy noisy environments!

He had to admit, being among this group felt pretty good...

The banquet went on for most of the day. By the time everyone was tipsy and gradually leaving in twos and threes, the sky had already darkened...

And then!

Another awkward problem landed on Ul.

He had nowhere to stay!

Although the guild had member dormitories, you had to pay to live there...

And while there were plenty of inns outside, those also cost money...

As for Ul right now, he was short on everything, especially money.

Moreover!

Although Ul was "familiar" with most guild members, this "familiarity" was the kind where Ul knew them, but they didn't know him!

Under these circumstances, Ul couldn't bring himself to ask for a place to crash.

Not to mention!

By now, everyone in the guild had already left. Even if he wanted to ask, he had no chance!

Standing alone on the street in front of the guild gate.

The warm summer night breeze blew against him, stirring a chill in Ul's heart...

"Sigh! Looks like I'll have to be shameless again!"

Looking up at a forty-five-degree angle at the night sky, gazing at the stars, Ul couldn't help but let out a sigh.

Though he was completely broke, Ul wasn't about to end up on the streets.

But that place was his last resort. Unless absolutely necessary, Ul really didn't want to go there...

Because it was just too embarrassing!

A three-hour walk!

The familiar independent courtyard that left a deep impression on Ul appeared in his eyes...

Seeing the lights still on in the courtyard, Ul breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Having stayed here for three days before, Ul knew some of Granny Is's habits. Otherwise, he wouldn't have chosen to come here in the middle of the night...

Standing at the courtyard gate, he hesitated for a long time!

Finally.

Ul reached out and knocked on the gate.

"Thump, thump, thump!"

"Who is it?" Granny Is's voice came from inside the moment Ul knocked.

"Granny Is, it's me, Ul..."

Knocking on the door late at night was actually quite startling. To avoid scaring Granny Is, Ul quickly spoke up.

The moment he finished!

Ul heard a rustling sound of footsteps from inside.

Soon.

The gate opened.

When Granny Is saw Ul, a smile first appeared on her face, then she asked with some confusion, "Little Ul, what are you doing here so late? Is there another mission?"

"No... Granny Is, actually, I was wondering if I could stay here for the night. Is that okay?"

"A place to stay? Little Ul, aren't you going home tonight?"

"Granny Is, I'm an orphan..."

Heaven and earth as his witness, when Ul said that, he truly had no intention of playing the victim. He just spoke in a very flat tone.

But when Granny Is heard Ul's words, her expression shifted, her gaze filling with pity and sympathy.

"I'm sorry! Little Ul, Granny said the wrong thing... but it's alright. From now on, just treat Granny's place as your home. It's getting late, so come on in and rest!"

Ul: "Uh..."

He couldn't help feeling a little shameless.

"Little Ul, have you eaten?" Following behind Granny Is, she suddenly asked.

"I've eaten..." Ul quickly replied, but before he could finish, Granny Is cut him off.

"I'll make you something to eat!"

Ul: "..."

Such familiar dialogue.

Ul had never worried about whether Granny Is would agree to let him stay.

Because back when he was doing quests here, Granny Is had already hinted more than once that she wanted Ul to stay longer...

She was a kind old woman, but at the same time, a lonely one!

The reason Ul chose to walk three hours back here might not have been without the thought of keeping her company...

Truth be told!

Ever since Ul had crossed over into this world.

The person he had spent the most time with, and knew the best, was Granny Is.

Stuffed to the brim after forcing down a "nothing special" late-night snack, Ul finally returned to his room to rest under Granny Is's satisfied smile!

The next morning.

After wolfing down another "nothing special" breakfast, Ul temporarily bid Granny Is farewell and returned to the guild to start work.

What?

Why "temporarily"?

Because, under Granny Is's semi-coercive insistence, Ul had already settled in here for the time being.

When Ul returned to the guild!

The guild was already buzzing with its usual daily chaos.

Makarov's first words to Ul were: "Oh, right, Ul. I forgot to ask you yesterday—do you have a place to stay tonight? If not, I can arrange for you to stay in the guild dormitory..."

Ul: "..."

I have something to say, but I'm not sure if I should say it?
