Makarov jolted and stood up.
"I suddenly remembered there are still important documents that haven't been approved!"
After saying that, he grabbed the wine barrel and darted away a long distance, his movements so agile that he didn't seem like an old man at all.
The audience was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.
"The student council president has run away!"
"They betrayed their teammates way too quickly!"
Hahahaha!
Gildarts' eyes were filled with despair.
"Hey! President! You're being disloyal!"
Nobody paid him any attention.
The next second.
Bang!
Mirajane punched him in the forehead.
Immediately afterwards.
Thump!
Erza followed up with another punch.
"Ah--!"
Gildarts's screams echoed throughout the entire guild.
"Wait! Let me explain!"
I really am talking about the food!
"Don't hit my face! Don't hit my head! Ah--!"
Bang bang bang bang!
The table overturned, the chairs flew away, and Gildarts ran around the arena clutching his head, but he couldn't get out at all.
Mirajane chased after him, laughing.
Erza beat him up without any expression.
Both of them were incredibly steady with their hands.
Natsu was laughing so hard he was practically lying on the table.
"Hahahaha! That's so tragic!"
Gray couldn't stop laughing.
"This guy brought it on himself."
Lucy wiped away the tears that had streamed down her face from laughing.
"Should!"
Happy flew through the air, calling out.
"Love! Big bump! Another big bump!"
By the end of this round, Gildarts was already collapsed on the ground.
Several large bumps appeared on his head, and his face was swollen.
He lay face up, his eyes glazed over, looking as if his soul had left his body.
"I was just joking..."
"Why am I always the one who gets hurt...?"
Lu Chongwei remained seated and slowly took a sip of his drink.
"Should."
A group of people nearby nodded in unison.
"Yes, that's right!"
"Who told you to talk nonsense?"
"He deserved to be beaten."
On the other side of the guild, several kittens were also gathered around a table.
Happy was holding a fish, Carla her arms crossed, Nancy was looking around curiously, and Lily was sitting there upright, looking a little stiff.
He looked at the noisy scene before him, remained silent for a while, and finally spoke.
"Is this Fairy Tail?"
Happy nodded repeatedly.
"Love! Isn't that wonderful!"
Lily looked at Natsu and Gray fighting, then at Gildarts lying on the ground with bumps all over his head, and then at the group of people still cheering and jeering. His tone was complicated.
All I can say is... it's very chaotic.
Nancy curled her tail and whispered, "It is quite noisy."
Carla glanced at her.
You'll get used to it.
Happy flew to Lily and patted his chest.
"Don't worry, we're all very friendly!"
Lily looked at Happy and remained silent for two seconds.
"You were the one who was making the biggest fuss just now."
"Like?"
Carla couldn't help but turn her head away, suppressing a laugh.
Just then, Erza walked over.
She glanced at Lily, then at the cats, her voice softer than usual.
"You're not used to it here yet, are you?"
Lily looked up at her and did not deny it.
"Yes. I still don't understand why you've all gathered together like this."
"Noisy, chaotic, and unruly."
But unfortunately...
He paused, glancing around at the laughing and joking people.
"Strangely, it's also very relaxing."
Erza stopped at the table and spoke.
"Because guilds are never maintained by quietness and rules."
Lily frowned slightly.
Erza continued, "The important thing is never magic itself."
She looked at Lily, her tone serious.
"What matters is the human heart that possesses magic."
The noise in the Fairy Tail guild grew louder and louder.
The excitement of the banquet hadn't faded yet; leftover meat and wine glasses still sat on the table, and Natsu couldn't sit still any longer.
He grabbed a chicken leg in one hand and pointed at Lily, who had just joined the guild, with the other, shouting loudly.
"Hey, Gajeel, haven't you always said your cat is really good? Then let him compete with Happy, Carla, and Nancy!"
Upon hearing this, Happy flapped his wings and took flight.
"Love! What are we competing in? Eating fish? I won't lose!"
Carla stood by the table with her arms crossed, her face still showing that indifferent expression.
"How boring."
Nancy sat on Lu Chongwei's shoulder, her tail curling slightly, and she also paused for a moment.
"Huh? Do we still have to compete?"
Gajeel got excited when he heard that, grinned, and lifted Lily up.
"Did you hear that, Lily? Show them what you've got!"
Lily was held in mid-air, his entire cat face turning black.
"Put me down first."
"Stop talking nonsense!"
Gajeel handed him forward, his face beaming with excitement.
" Happy can fly, Carla stubborn, and Nancy hangs out with Zhongwei and seems pretty smug. If you don't give them a good beating, how will you prove you're my cat?"
Natsu his fist on the table in agreement.
"Yeah! Let's have a fight! Let's have a fight!"
Happy was indignant and flew forward with his hands on his hips.
"Love! Who's afraid of who! I'm Lord Happy!"
Carla glanced at Happy.
"Don't fall down first."
Nancy looked around, her little ears twitching, clearly troubled.
"Um... I'm actually not very good at fighting."
Wendy, standing beside her, also seemed a little nervous.
"This isn't really appropriate, everyone just joined the guild..."
Lu Chongwei sat at the table, holding a wine glass, watching this scene, and shook his head.
"They've come again, just like I expected."
Lucy sighed.
"Can't these guys just behave for a moment?"
Erza was cutting the cake. She glanced up but didn't say anything.
Mirajane stood behind the bar, her smile as gentle as ever, watching the group of people making a ruckus below.
The scene escalated, Natsu had already started rolling up his sleeves.
"Hurry up, Lily! If you're not going, then Happy go first!"
Happy shrank back a little.
"Love? Why did I have to go first?"
Gajeel placed Lily on the table and grinned, urging him on.
" Lily, speak up!"
Everyone immediately looked at Lily.
Lily stood on the table and remained silent for a few seconds.
Then he spoke.
"There's no need."
One sentence immediately silenced the surroundings.
Natsu blinked.
"Ah?"
Lily looked at Happy, Carla, and Nancy, his tone steady.
"A pointless fight is meaningless."
After he finished speaking, he nodded to Happy.
"Nice to meet you, I am Pansa Lily."
Happy was taken aback for a moment, then became serious and waved his little paw.
"Love! I'm Happy!"
Lily then looked at Carla.
Please guide me in the future.
Carla crossed her arms and nodded gently.
"Just don't be as noisy as Happy."
Happy immediately bristled.
"Love! Why are you saying that about me again!"
Lily ignored him and finally looked at Nancy.
Nancy instinctively sat up straighter.
"I... I am Nancy."
Lily's tone remained calm.
"From now on, we'll be guild members, so please take care of me."
Nancy breathed a sigh of relief, her ears perking up.
"Yes, please take care of me."
Wendy smiled too.
"That's perfect."
Lucy nodded.
"That's right, that's more like it."
