Lu Chongwei took a sip of his drink and began to speak.
"Look, now that's what maturity looks like."
Gajeel's face twitched.
"Tsk."
Natsu was stunned for a couple of seconds, not expecting Lily to pull this stunt.
He glanced at Lily, then at Happy and the others, a look of resentment on his face.
"What? It's over already?"
Happy nodded repeatedly.
"Love! It's over, it's over!"
Carla coldly added insult to injury.
"Are you the only one who's disappointed?"
Gajeel was also unhappy.
"Hey, Lily, you're being way too safe."
Lily replied.
"I'm here to join a guild, not to cause trouble."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lucy, who was standing next to Lu Chongwei, couldn't help but nod in agreement.
"This cat is more reliable than many people."
Gray overheard this and snorted coldly.
"The 'many people' you're talking about, are they just a couple of idiots?"
Natsu turns around.
Who are you calling an idiot!
Gray crossed his arms and sneered.
"I'm talking about you."
The situation was almost settled, but after that one sentence, Natsu exploded on the spot.
"Do you want to fight?!"
Gray wouldn't budge an inch.
"Come on, you fire idiot!"
Gajeel's eyes lit up when he saw it.
"Oh? You want to fight?"
He pointed at Natsu.
"I'm going too! I've been wanting to give you a good beating for a while now!"
Natsu turned his attention to the other side.
"Come on, you iron-clad bastard!"
Lu Chongwei rubbed his forehead.
"Really."
Lucy looked completely blank.
"I knew it would turn out this way."
The next second.
Bang!
Natsu threw a punch at Gajeel, Gajeel raised his hand to block it, while Gray kicked in from the side.
The three of them got into a fierce fight right there in the center of the guild.
The table was overturned, the chairs flew off, and the wine glasses shattered all over the floor.
"A fight has broken out!"
"Here we go again!"
"Quickly put the wine away!"
"Don't accept it! Let's drink and watch at the same time!"
The guild members were excited.
Macao jumped onto the table and shouted.
"Bet! I'm betting on Gray!"
Wakaba, with a cigarette dangling from his mouth, roared back.
"Bullshit! Of course Gajeel wins!"
Happy flapped his wings and flew wildly through the sky.
"Love! So intense!"
Carla had already silently taken two steps back to avoid being caught in the crossfire.
Nancy was completely bewildered as she watched the tables and chairs flying all over the place.
"Is this... this the daily life of Fairy Tail?"
Lily stared silently ahead, and after a long while, he finally managed to squeeze out a sentence.
"It's even more outrageous than I thought."
Natsu threw a punch, which Gajeel blocked with his iron arm, while Gray's ice hammer slammed in from the side.
The three fought more and more fiercely.
"Hahaha! That's great!"
"Get out of my way!"
"Who's in the way, you stinky iron block!"
Just then, Juvia suddenly blushed and clasped her hands to her chest.
"Lord Gray looks so cool in battle..."
Lucy's heart skipped a beat when she saw her expression.
"Not good."
The next second, Juvia had already charged forward.
" Juvia wants to join too! To stand shoulder to shoulder with Lord Gray-- "
Before she could take two steps, Lucy grabbed her tightly from behind.
"Wait a minute!"
Juvia was being held and was still struggling.
" Lucy! Let me go! This is the battlefield of Juvia and Lord Gray's love!"
Lucy was almost knocked over by her, and she gritted her teeth and pulled back with all her might.
"Who wants to be on a battlefield like you? You'll only make things more chaotic if you go in!"
Juvia's eyes lit up, and she kept waving.
"Lord Gray--!"
Gray was exchanging punches with Natsu when he heard the sound and his scalp tingled.
"Don't come any closer!"
The guild members burst into laughter.
"Well done, Lucy!"
"Hold on tighter!"
" Juvia really charges in, we won't be able to get out of this today!"
Just as the scene was getting increasingly chaotic, Freed, standing to the side, adjusted his glasses and surprisingly revealed a look of eager anticipation.
"Looks like this is the perfect place to cause a ruckus."
The little wooden puppet on Bickslow's head started squealing.
"Eeya yaya! Charge! Charge!"
Bickslow grinned.
"That's right, it's good to cause trouble once in a while."
Freed nodded.
"Then I'll too--"
Before he could finish speaking, a shoe suddenly flew out from the center of the melee.
Whoosh!
The shoe traced an arc in the air, landing squarely on Laxus's face as he sat drinking in the distance.
Snap!
The entire room fell silent for a second.
Laxus slowly put down his glass, his face darkening.
The shoe slid off his face and fell onto the table.
Everyone around held their breath.
Macao lowered his voice.
"It's over."
Wakaba swallowed hard.
"This is really the end."
Laxus reached down and took off his shoes, veins popping out on his forehead.
Who threw it?
No one answered.
Because the next second, Laxus had already stood up.
"Court death."
Crack!
Golden lightning erupted instantly.
He stepped into the battle and unleashed a powerful thunderous punch.
Natsu laughed.
"Good timing!"
Gajeel was also excited.
"Haha! This is more interesting!"
Gray cursed.
"You're all insane!"
The situation was completely out of control.
Tables, barrels, magic, lightning, ice, and flames were all in disarray.
Freed's eyes lit up.
" Laxus went in!"
Without hesitation, he rushed forward.
"Then I'll too--"
He had only taken half a step inside when a wooden bucket, thrown by someone, slammed into his face with a thud.
Freed was sent flying sideways.
" Freed!"
Bickslow screamed in alarm.
Freed overturned two tables, fell into the rubble, and his glasses were askew.
The room fell silent again, then erupted in even louder laughter.
Hahahaha!
"They flew out as soon as they went in!"
"That's so tragic!"
Even Lu Chongwei couldn't help but smile.
This is what happens.
Erza sat to one side, her fork suspended in mid-air, and said something.
"This group of people is very energetic today."
Lucy was still holding Juvia, her face showing utter despair.
"Is this what you call energetic? This is a disaster!"
Lisanna leaned against the railing on the second floor, looking down at the chaotic guild hall below, and couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"It's the same as always."
Her voice was soft and cheerful.
"That's more like Fairy Tail."
Mirajane, standing next to her, also looked down, her eyes full of gentle smiles.
"Yes, nothing has changed."
Lisanna glanced at her sideways and winked deliberately.
" Mira, you weren't always just standing here watching the show."
Mirajane was taken aback.
"Um?"
Lisanna's smile widened.
"In the past, wouldn't you have rushed down and fought Erza fiercely at a time like this?"
Mirajane's smile faltered for a moment, then turned somewhat helpless.
"The past is the past."
Lisanna rested her chin on the railing and drawled out the sound.
"And now?"
Mirajane looked at her chaotic companions below and spoke softly.
"Now... I prefer looking at everyone like this."
She was very relaxed when she said that.
It's like finally finding the perfect place for myself.
