Standing inside the Fairy Tail guild hall, Lucy was extremely excited, because this was a Fairy Tail she had never seen before—something she had never experienced!
Wearing an incredibly sexy black-stockings bunny-girl outfit, Lucy felt a little embarrassed, but she had no choice. This was a disguise, a disguise to prevent people from recognizing her.
Perhaps because of the effects of time travel, Erza's Magic Storage Space had encountered serious problems. Only this bunny-girl outfit and another cat-girl outfit could be taken out.
Not only that—after changing her clothes for her, Erza somehow managed to lose her original outfit. She couldn't even change back if she wanted to!
With the situation urgent, Lucy had no time to hesitate. She could only start moving around in this black-stockings bunny-girl outfit.
She had to quickly find those three idiots—Gray, Natsu, and Happy—who had gone off somewhere on their own. Otherwise they might do something they shouldn't, something that would affect the future world.
As for how they were supposed to go back, she would leave that to Erza to solve. Mainly because she couldn't help much with that anyway.
Lucy's gaze turned toward the "familiar faces" in the guild. Levy and Cana were playing a board game. The two cute girls sat facing each other. A flash of light flickered in front of Cana's eyes, and then she made a "brilliant move."
"I win!"
Cana cheered, while the Levy sitting opposite her wore a very unhappy expression.
"Cana, you're so sneaky! You used magic, didn't you?"
Levy protested. She was one hundred percent sure Cana had cheated.
"Of course not!"
Naturally, Cana would never admit it. How could that be called cheating during a board game?
Reading her fortune a little, checking which move was better—how could that be called cheating?
"Little Levy and little Cana are so cute!"
Watching the scene, Lucy couldn't help but sigh emotionally. Her relationship with Levy was very good. Not long after joining Fairy Tail, she had already become friends with Levy.
They both loved reading, and Levy loved the novel she wrote—the novel she wrote inspired by a certain someone.
Speaking of novels, Lucy's gaze shifted around the guild hall, and finally, her gaze landed on that boy.
Then she realized that the boy was also looking at her—his eyes filled with confusion, surprise, and an indescribable struggle to hold himself together.
Lucy quickly looked away. Her heart pounded violently. She felt impossibly nervous.
That was Moen! What if he saw through her disguise?!
Thinking it through carefully—The Great Detective Folmos should have already begun being written at this point, right? Moen should only be around twelve or thirteen years old right now, yet he had already created such a bestselling mystery masterpiece. Just how meticulous must his mind be?!
The more she tried to avoid something, the more she couldn't escape it. The moment Lucy shifted her gaze away, Moen had already walked straight toward her.
"Hello, do you need any help?"
That same steady voice—just a little younger—sounded beside her. Lucy's body trembled. She screamed inwardly, It's over! Has Moen seen through my disguise?!
But after a moment of panic, Lucy suddenly realized at this time, Moen doesn't know her at all!
Her first meeting with Moen should be at the signing event for The Great Detective Folmos II. That was still a long way off!
"H-hello! I—"
Lucy nervously opened her mouth, but before she could finish speaking, she suddenly felt the atmosphere inside the guild change.
Moen's actions caused everyone in the guild to look toward her. Then, in an instant, a bunch of enthusiastic people swarmed over.
"Bunny girl?!"
"Is it a request?!"
"No need to post it, I'll take it directly!"
The uncles of the guild all crowded around Lucy with overwhelming enthusiasm. Her outfit was really too—
"A bunny girl! When did you arrive? Are you going to join us?!"
The biggest reaction came from guild master Makarov. Seeing Lucy, he enthusiastically extended an invitation. He could tell that this girl was also a mage.
Then, before Lucy could react at all, Makarov grabbed her hand and pulled her deeper into the hall. He was about to take her to the bar counter to register her, to make her an official member of Fairy Tail. This was truly a special exception—completely skipping all screening procedures.
And the guild master's actions were, of course, met with unanimous approval. A group of uncles in the hall cheered joyfully.
Cheering because another beautiful girl was joining the guild!
"…"
This scene made Moen shake his head helplessly. He had already basically confirmed that this voluptuous black-stockings bunny girl was definitely either Lucy or Happy.
The reasoning was simple—if this black-stockings bunny girl weren't a Fairy Tail companion, then she absolutely wouldn't be wearing this helpless, resigned expression. She would've already gone to report these people to the Magnolia police!
Plus, the way this beautiful, curvy bunny girl looked at everyone in Fairy Tail—her eyes, her expression, her demeanor—all told the same story: she knew them. She was familiar with everything here.
"Master Makarov! This is too much!"
Moen no longer simply watched things unfold. He decisively stepped forward to stop the overly-excited Makarov.
"At least respect her opinion."
Moen stood up and reasoned with Master Makarov. Thanks to that, Lucy managed to escape, because Makarov's attention shifted to Moen. His face was filled with astonishment.
"Moen? You brat, you don't like pretty ladies? That doesn't sound right…"
Makarov looked at Moen, utterly bewildered. This was the first time Moen had ever so openly stopped him from inviting someone to join.
And the only difference between this black-stockings bunny girl and the others was probably that this girl was extremely curvy and extremely beautiful…
"What kind of nonsense is that?!"
Makarov's words struck Moen like lightning. His ultra-smart brain even froze for a moment.
How did this old man come to such a ridiculous conclusion?!
But he had no time to argue with Makarov now.
He quickly turned and ran after the fleeing black-stockings bunny girl.
Seeing this, Makarov at the bar counter let out a relieved breath. It seemed Moen still had no problems after all…
"…"
"What on earth happened?!"
Lucy used the chaos to run all the way out of Fairy Tail. Her mind was a complete mess. She felt like she had just ruined everything.
