Erza's face immediately turned red to the roots of her neck. She hurriedly turned her head away, pretending to look at the scenery.
Mirajane stood behind the bar.
The smile on her face remained unchanged, still as gentle and sweet as ever.
But the hard glass she was wiping suddenly snapped into powder with a loud crack.
"Regarding this issue."
Mirajane looked at Jason with a sly smile, as if a black, demonic phantom had appeared behind him.
"No comment."
Jason shuddered at Mirajane's imposing presence and took two steps back with an awkward laugh.
at this time.
Lucy, who had been neglected all along, finally couldn't hold back any longer.
She quietly moved into Jason's line of sight.
She struck an extremely sexy pose, twirling her blonde hair with her fingers.
"Um... Mr. Reporter."
Lucy spoke in a high-pitched, sweet voice.
"I'm Lucy, a newcomer to Fairy Tail, and I'm happy to be interviewed!"
However.
Jason acted as if he hadn't seen her at all.
He walked right past Lucy without even glancing at her.
"Who should we interview next? That would be so cool!"
Jason happily searched the hall for his next target.
Lucy remained frozen in that sexy pose.
A cold wind blew by.
She was filled with a deep sense of defeat, and her whole appearance turned ashen.
"Oh! This blue cat! So cool!"
Jason shoved the camera almost into Happy's face, snapping photos like crazy.
"As Natsu's partner, do you have any special training techniques?"
Happy stopped chewing.
It held up half a grilled fish and looked at the camera with a serious expression.
"Love! As long as you eat lots and lots of fish every day, you can become very strong!"
Jason frantically took notes, then spun around like a top towards Gray.
" Gray, the Ice Make Mage! Your shaping magic is simply the art of ice and snow!"
Jason had barely finished speaking.
He suddenly realized that Gray, who was standing in front of him, had somehow stripped down to only his shorts.
"Wow! The habit of taking off clothes anywhere! This wild style is so cool!"
Jason wasn't surprised at all; on the contrary, he was even more excited and started taking pictures.
Gray then realized what was happening and, his face flushed, frantically searched for his clothes.
Natsu! The Fire Dragon Slayer Mage!
Jason rushed up to Natsu again.
Natsu was seething with anger because he hadn't gotten the limelight.
He jumped up with joy when he heard the reporter call his name.
"Behold my Roar of the Fire Dragon!"
Natsu took a breath and unleashed a pillar of fire directly at the ceiling.
The scorching heat caused people nearby to retreat in fear.
"Incredible destructive power! Awesome!" Jason yelled.
Then.
Jason then interviewed Elfman, who was showing off his muscles; Cana, who was drinking heavily while holding a barrel of liquor; and Chairman Makarov, who was sitting at the bar with a smile on his face.
The entire process.
Lucy was like an invisible ghost.
She kept waving in front of Jason's camera, even deliberately coughing loudly.
But Jason always managed to perfectly avoid her gaze.
"Why... why can't you see me!"
Lucy knelt on the ground, pounding her fists on the floor in anguish, utterly consumed by despair.
"No way! I'll fight for the rent!"
Lucy stood up, her eyes burning with a do-or-die spirit.
She turned and rushed into the locker room.
A few minutes later.
Lucy changed into an extremely provocative black bunny girl outfit.
It wears long rabbit ears on its head and has a fluffy little tail behind it.
She took a breath, and with a cat-like gait, confidently walked towards the center of the hall.
"Hey reporter, look this way!"
Lucy struck an extremely seductive pose and gave him a big, flirtatious wink.
This time, Jason finally turned his head.
His eyes immediately lit up, and he raised the camera in his hand.
Lucy was overjoyed; her rent was saved!
Just as Jason was about to press the shutter button...
"Get out of the way!"
A massive figure in a white suit rushed over from the side.
Gajeel roughly shoved Lucy away.
Lucy screamed in mid-air and crashed heavily into a pile of junk in the corner.
"My personal concert is about to begin!"
Gajeel strode to the center of the hall and hung the heavy metal electric guitar around his neck.
He cleared his throat and struck an extremely arrogant rock and roll pose.
"Shooby-doo-bop!"
Gajeel's fingers swept across the strings.
At the same time, he opened his mouth wide and let out a deafening the Roar.
The sound was like hundreds of ducks being plucked at the same time, or like rusty iron scraping wildly against glass.
A terrifying noise immediately engulfed the entire guild hall.
"Aaaaaah! My ears!"
Macao clutched his ears in pain and rolled on the ground in agony.
"Make him stop! Is this a sonic weapon?!"
Wakaba even dropped his pipe on the ground, his face contorted in pain.
Natsu was covering his ears when he heard the awful singing, and his volatile temper immediately flared up.
"Shut up, you damn blockhead!"
Natsu roared, and flames erupted from his fists.
He exerted force with both legs, and his whole body rushed towards Gajeel like a cannonball.
" Fire Dragon's Iron Fist!"
Natsu punched Gajeel hard in the face.
Gajeel's singing abruptly stopped.
He and his guitar were sent flying, smashing three tables in the process.
"You fire-breathing idiot! How dare you interrupt my concert!"
Gajeel crawled out of the ruins.
His arm transformed into an iron rod.
" Iron Dragon's Iron Pillar!"
Gajeel swung his iron rod and smashed it down hard on Natsu.
The two immediately started fighting, with tables and chairs flying through the air.
Lu Chongwei was sitting next to me drinking juice when a flying plank smashed over his glass.
Juice spilled all over him.
Several veins immediately bulged on Lu Chongwei's forehead.
"You two idiots, stop right there!"
Lu Chongwei stood up, golden flames immediately igniting in his hands, and joined the battle without hesitation.
"Stop it, all of you! What kind of behavior is this in front of reporters!"
Seeing this, Erza angrily drew her longsword and rushed forward to try to stop them.
However, the situation had completely spiraled out of control.
Gray, Elfman, and others were also drawn into the melee.
Various magical lights flashed wildly in the hall, and explosions echoed one after another.
The entire Fairy Tail guild immediately descended into extreme chaos.
And Jason.
He stood in the center of the chaos, far from being afraid, but rather extremely excited.
"This is so cool! Is this what daily life in Fairy Tail is like?! A massive free-for-all! This is awesome!"
Jason frantically pressed the shutter button, almost making the flash smoke.
"Bang!"
A flying chair slammed into the back of Jason's head.
Jason's eyes rolled back, and he fell straight down.
But he maintained the posture of holding the camera.
A few minutes later.
Two paramedics carried the unconscious Jason out on a stretcher.
"Cool... so cool..."
Jason had his eyes closed, and he was still muttering to himself unconsciously.
