Magnolia · Fairy Tail Guild
When the morning sun once again bathed Magnolia, the Fairy Tail Guild was filled with an unprecedented... cautious atmosphere.
The reason was simple: the Guild's newly appointed mascot and highly protected object — a palm-sized mini Wendy — was sitting in a special, soft velvet-lined saucer on the bar, slowly sipping milk fed to her by Lucy with a dropper.
Her sky-blue mini dress looked exceptionally cute in the morning light, but the extreme size difference made the entire scene feel like a whimsical fairy tale.
"Drink slowly, Wendy," Lucy's voice was as soft as if she were afraid of startling a butterfly. She focused intently on the saucer, fearing that a single drop of milk might splash out and engulf Wendy.
"Mhm! Thank you, Sister Lucy!" Mini Wendy looked up, her voice clear and sweet, though its volume was also proportionally reduced, sounding like tiny bells.
"Aww—! Wendy-chan is so cute! Like a little fairy!" Happy flew around the saucer, his blue eyes full of wonder.
"Hmph, you idiot Happy, don't get too close. Be careful your wings don't create a gust of wind and blow her away," Carla squatted beside the saucer. Though her words were dismissive, her eyes were fixed on Wendy, and her tail wagged slightly with tension.
"Wendy-chan, how do you feel? Is anything uncomfortable?" Mira bent down, her face adorned with a smile so gentle it could melt ice and snow, asking in a soft whisper.
"Nothing uncomfortable, Sister Mira!" Wendy shook her head, her small face full of excitement, "It's just... everyone looks so tall and big! Like giants! It's especially fun!"
"Fun?" Gray's voice carried a hint of helplessness. He sat on a chair not far away, looking at the tiny person who was not even as big as his palm. "You almost turned yourself into a permanent ornament."
"Brother Gray!" Wendy puffed out her small cheeks, "I wouldn't! Senior EZ said the magic effect will wear off!"
"Let's hope so," Gray glanced at Juvia nearby, who was starting to emit pink bubbles again. "Otherwise, someone will be designing mini cheering outfits."
"Lord Gray! Juvia is already brainstorming! A mini version of Lord Gray's cheering outfit will definitely be even cuter!" Juvia immediately got into character.
Gray: "I shouldn't have opened my mouth..." He silently moved his chair further away from Juvia.
"Hey! Wendy!" Natsu's loud voice suddenly rang out. He rushed to the bar like a gust of wind, his huge face instantly filling Wendy's entire field of vision.
"Wah!" Wendy was startled and almost fell out of the small saucer.
"Natsu! Keep your voice down! Don't scare Wendy!" Lucy quickly shielded the saucer.
"Hehe, sorry, sorry!" Natsu scratched his head, lowering his volume but still unable to hide his excitement. "Wendy! Look! I brought you a present!"
Saying that, he carefully pulled out from his pocket... a burnt cookie crumb the size of a fingernail?
"This is the cookie I baked this morning! The biggest piece! For you to eat!" Natsu presented the cookie crumb to the edge of the saucer as if it were a treasure.
Wendy looked at the "cookie mountain," which was bigger than her head, her small face scrunching up: "Brother Natsu... this... it's too big..."
"Huh? Too big?" Natsu only then realized the scale issue, a bit dejected. "Then... then I'll break it into smaller pieces?"
"No need, Brother Natsu," Wendy smiled sweetly. "Thank you! I'll eat it when I turn back to normal!"
"Oh... alright," Natsu was a bit disappointed but quickly cheered up. "Then when you turn back, I'll treat you to a super-sized grilled meat!"
"Aww—! Super-sized!" Happy echoed.
"Wendy-chan, want to try this?" Cana walked over, holding a delicate swing made of gold sand, only the size of a coin. "Shall we have Max build you a playground?"
Max stood by, a hint of helplessness in his emerald eyes, but he still manipulated the gold sand, quickly constructing a mini fairy tale world in a corner of the bar — complete with gold sand slides, a gold sand castle, and even lifelike little birds made of gold sand.
"Wow—! So pretty!" Wendy's eyes sparkled like stars. She immediately stood up from the small saucer and ran towards the gold sand playground with her tiny legs.
"Be careful!" Lucy and Carla shouted in unison.
Wendy carefully climbed the gold sand slide, then slid down with a "whoosh," letting out a tinkling laugh.
"So much fun!"
"Do you like it?" Max's lips curved slightly upward.
"Mhm! Thank you, Brother Max!" Wendy nodded happily.
Cana smugly raised an eyebrow at Max: "See, my idea wasn't bad, was it?"
Max: "..." He silently manipulated the gold sand to add a spire to the castle.
Mini Wendy's existence brought a whole new "challenge" to the Guild's daily life.
Levy wanted to discuss the ancient runes she discovered yesterday with Wendy, but found that her magic book was like a huge wall to Wendy. She could only lie on the edge of the page, trying to decipher the letters that were bigger than her.
"Sister Levy... this word... I can't see it clearly..." Wendy stood on a giant period, tiptoeing as she called out.
"Ah! Sorry, sorry!" Levy quickly flattened the book and took out a magnifying glass. "How about now?"
"Still so big..." Wendy looked at the magnifying glass lens, which was like a millstone in front of her, feeling a bit dizzy.
In the end, Levy could only copy the key paragraphs onto a small sticky note and let Wendy sit on it to read slowly.
Gajeel wanted to show off a new, supposedly extremely hard alloy doorknob he had gnawed on, but as soon as he placed the doorknob on the bar, the huge metal block almost shook Wendy, who was playing on the gold sand swing, off.
"Gajeel! Be careful!" Carla snapped.
"Tch, troublesome," Gajeel pouted, but still moved the doorknob further away. Then, he carefully scraped off a rice-sized piece of metal with his fingernail and handed it to Wendy, "Here, try it? Tastes good."
Wendy looked at the metal scrap, which was bigger than her fist, her small face contorted: "Bro-Brother Gajeel... this... I can't chew it..."
Gajeel: "Tch, troublesome brat..." He silently put the metal scrap back in his own mouth.
The most thrilling scene occurred when Elfman demonstrated his "manly" strength.
"A real man! Must have strength!" Elfman roared, then slammed his fist against his chest!
Thump—!
A dull thud, like a drumbeat!
The entire bar trembled with it!
Wendy, who was "exploring" in the gold sand castle, felt the world spin, and her tiny body was thrown high into the air by the shock!
"Wah—!"
"Wendy!" Lucy, Carla, and Happy exclaimed simultaneously!
No sooner said than done, a golden stream of light flashed!
Ezreal's figure instantly appeared beside the bar. He extended his hand, palm up, and steadily caught Wendy as she fell like a tiny pebble.
"Are you alright?" Ezreal's voice held a trace of concern.
Wendy, still shaken, sat in his warm palm, patting her chest with her small hand: "I... I was so scared... Brother Elfman's 'manliness'... is so powerful..."
Elfman looked at the mini Wendy, whom he had shaken into the air, with a look of guilt: "S-Sorry! Wendy-chan! This man was too excited!"
"It's... it's okay..." Wendy recovered, looking at Ezreal's magnified, golden eyes with a gentle smile, her small face slightly flushed. "Thank you, Senior EZ!"
"Next time you demonstrate your strength, stay further away from Wendy," Ezreal said calmly to Elfman.
"Yes! This man has noted it!" Elfman immediately stood at attention.
Although she had shrunk, Wendy had not forgotten her duties.
When Alzack accidentally cut his finger while slicing fruit, Wendy immediately volunteered.
"Brother Alzack! I'll help you!"
