Chapter 51: Furious Mirajane! The Phantom Lord's Operator!
The crisp sound echoed in the guild.
The guild instantly fell silent, everyone staring blankly at the solemn Mirajane.
Slapped in the face, Natsu didn't react for a moment, reaching out to touch his cheek, feeling the sting.
"Mira-nee..."
Seeing Mirajane's livid face and that she had hit Natsu, Lisanna hurriedly ran up and hugged Mirajane's arm.
Persuaded by Lisanna, Mirajane looked up, glaring at Natsu with red-rimmed eyes.
Suddenly seeing tears in Mirajane's eyes, Natsu and Lucy were at a loss for a moment.
Lisanna pulled Mirajane aside, looking back at Natsu with disappointment.
Ever since that Beast King request, Mirajane's temperament had changed drastically.
Natsu secretly completing an S-Class request this time was tantamount to repeating the mistake Mirajane made back then.
Last time, Lisanna was saved with Ren's help, and this time Natsu was also spared from disaster thanks to Ren and Erza.
"Natsu! Lucy!"
After Mirajane's outburst ended, Makarov's livid face softened considerably.
Approaching the two with a cold face, he looked at Natsu and Lucy seriously and said, "The cleaning of the guild for a week is handed over to you two!"
"Consider this your punishment. If there is a next time, leave the guild!"
Saying this, Makarov turned away from the two, looking toward the bar where he had been drinking next to Ren.
Both knew Makarov was showing mercy.
"Got it, Old Man. There won't be a next time."
Touching his stinging cheek, Natsu gritted his teeth, looked up, and shouted loudly.
Where Natsu and the others couldn't see, a smile appeared on Makarov's face.
"Tch!"
On the railing of the second floor, Laxus watched this scene with a sneer, turned to take a request sheet, and left the guild.
Leaving with Laxus were the Thunder Legion.
"Guild Master, this is Gray's senior disciple. He wants to join our guild."
After that, Erza introduced Lyon to Makarov.
The slightly tipsy Makarov looked up at the unruly young man before him, nodded, and agreed.
"Alright, welcome to Fairy Tail!"
Makarov grinned, extending his hand to Lyon.
Looking at the hand extended before him, Lyon was stunned for a moment, turning to exchange a look with Gray.
"That simple?"
Lyon glanced back and forth between Makarov and Gray, somewhat unbelieving that joining this guild was so easy.
"After joining Fairy Tail, we are comrades!"
Erza patted Lyon on the shoulder, a smile on her face.
As the guild mark landed on Lyon's arm, Lyon officially joined Fairy Tail.
After handling all the follow-up matters regarding Natsu's incident, Ren yawned and took Erza home.
After Erza casually made something to eat at home, Ren stretched, ready to go back to sleep.
After all, having been woken up by Makarov late last night, Ren just wanted to lie back down and get some good sleep.
Lying in bed, Ren quickly fell asleep, sleeping deeply before long.
Watching Ren go back to his room to sleep on his own, Erza looked helplessly at the closed door.
In the living room, Ur sat on the sofa, staring blankly at the bright sky outside the window.
Because Ur was different from the three main Homies like Zeus, she possessed a human-like body.
So Erza arranged a room for Ur, next to Ren's bedroom.
"Senior Ur, this is your room. Rest well."
Bringing Ur to the door, Erza turned and smiled.
"Erza, just call me Ur from now on."
A smile appeared on Ur's ice-blue cheeks.
...
Late at night, Levy and the others walked on the streets of Magnolia.
Following behind were the other two members of Shadow Gear.
Droy and Jet.
Under the streetlights, Levy walked with her hands behind her back, skipping along the deserted street.
"Levy, let's hurry back. I'm sleepy to death."
Following Levy, Droy opened his mouth and yawned, looking sleepy.
"Then you go back. I'll stay with Levy!"
Jet grinned, patting his chest as he spoke to Levy.
Levy turned around, an innocent smile on her face, walking backward.
Just as she was about to speak, she suddenly bumped into something.
Levy turned her head to look behind her.
A tall figure appeared behind Levy.
"Isn't this a little fairy? What are you doing here instead of sleeping in the middle of the night?"
The tall figure grinned, looking at Levy and the others with a hideous smile.
Levy backed away from the tall man vigilantly, asking nervously, "Who are you?"
Droy and Jet hurried forward, shielding Levy behind them.
Whispering to Levy, "Levy, once we start fighting, run! We are close to Erza and Ren's house. Go find them for help immediately!"
Levy shook her head, looking at the figure ahead with a firm and serious gaze.
Suddenly, Levy's gaze landed on a pattern on the man's arm.
"Phantom Lord mage...?!"
Levy's voice caused the other two to exclaim, staring blankly at the tall figure.
"That's right. I'm Gajeel, the Iron Dragon of Phantom Lord!"
The tall man walked forward slowly, the streetlight gradually illuminating his face.
He smashed his fists together heavily, making a sound like steel clashing.
"What is Phantom Lord doing in Magnolia?"
Levy looked nervous, staring at Gajeel and shouting.
Everyone in the Kingdom of Fiore knew that Fairy Tail and Phantom Lord were not on good terms.
During a Guild Master meeting a few years ago, the two Guild Masters even fought, and the grudge was settled then.
Actually, Levy didn't know that the grudge between Fairy Tail and Phantom Lord had existed for a long time.
Since the founding of Fairy Tail, the first Guild Master of Phantom Lord founded Phantom Lord to rival Fairy Tail.
