"All right, all right, let me show you around the new guildhall~" Mira clapped her hands and led everyone through the gates.
"First up, we've opened an outdoor café here. When the weather's nice, you can sit outside and have a drink."
Rows of wooden tables and benches filled the open space in front of the guildhall, some shaded by striped parasols. Several members were already sitting there, drinking tea and chatting.
When they saw the group return, they waved cheerfully.
"Hey! You're back! Pretty surprising, huh? The new guildhall looks amazing!"
Natsu stared at the bustling café, dumbfounded.
"Whoa..."
"Natsu's actually speechless," a nearby member teased.
Even Erza sounded impressed. "The style is completely different from before."
"Aye~ That's because they rebuilt it."
Mira continued leading everyone onward.
"Next, here on the left of the entrance, we've opened a little guild merchandise shop! We have T-shirts printed with the Guild Mark, wristbands, mugs, and limited-edition badges of all of you~"
To the left of the entrance stood a charming little brick shop. Behind its wooden counter, Max waved at them. "Welcome~"
Happy flew over excitedly. "Oh! Max is a shopkeeper now!"
Lucy leaned over to inspect the dazzling assortment on the shelves, her mouth twitching. "We even have merchandise now!?"
"Take a look at these! They're our most popular Wizard figurines! Only 3,000 J each."
Happy picked one up. "Lucy, look! They've got a figurine of you!"
"Huh!? No way, that's so embarrassing!"
Happy fiddled with Lucy's figurine in fascination, when suddenly, something snapped off. "Whoa! All of Lucy's clothes fell off."
"Nooo!!" Lucy rushed forward, blushing furiously as she fumbled to dress "little Lucy."
Gray picked up his own figurine and examined it, puzzled. "Why doesn't mine have any clothes to begin with?"
Erza, meanwhile, was rather dissatisfied
