Chapter 39 has a leg!
Magnolia.
The lively atmosphere of the banquet filled the entire Fairy Tail guild.
Nazhabi's hot dance, Gray's striptease, Vista's flamboyant dance, the Lane Engine team striking poses, Kana guzzling alcohol...
All sorts of bizarre performances are emerging one after another.
"Is this the Fairy Tail banquet? It's even more... well, it's an eyesore."
Lucy sat alone in the corner, searching and searching, but she always felt a sense of powerlessness, unable to fit in.
"It's normal. Usually, in this situation, you just need to take good personal precautions." A cute and playful voice came from inside.
Lucy looked up, recognized the person, and immediately smiled: "Dark Magician Girl!"
The Dark Magician Girl sat down opposite Lucy, casually glanced at the noisy banquet center, and sighed softly, "It's been over a year since I last saw you, and none of you have changed much. You all seem to have inexhaustible energy."
"A very apt description," Lucy wholeheartedly agreed.
Then, recalling what the dark magician girl had just said, she asked with a puzzled look, "By the way, what you meant by 'taking personal protective measures' is...?"
Just then, an empty wine barrel flew from the center of the banquet and landed directly on the two of them.
The dark magician girl had anticipated this, and swung her magic wand back the barrel.
With a sharp "thud," it hit someone's head, though it's unclear who.
"Nice! A perfect home run!" The Dark Magician Girl proudly flashed her cute peace sign.
"...I think I know."
As soon as she finished speaking, Lucy reacted quickly, seizing the opportunity to swat the Happy flying overhead and using it as a defensive shield in front of her.
This move is called Celestial Magic: Harpy Shield!
"Huh, Lucy, what are you doing?" Happy, who had been dragged into being a meat shield, looked completely bewildered.
"Shut up, you dead cat! I haven't settled the score with you for leaking information to Mira yet!" Lucy said fiercely.
As Habi was about to argue, his eyes darting around, he was hit by a flying slipper. His head lolled to the side, and his white soul left his body on the spot.
"Haha, personal protection was a great success!"
Lucy mimicked Dark Magician Girl's pose, striking a peace sign.
The two blonde beauties looked at each other and smiled broadly as if they had found kindred spirits.
"By the way, Lucy, your super cute Celestial Spirit is called Pru, right? Can I have it come out and hug it?"
"Of course, no problem! Open it! Gate of Canis Minor!"
"By the way, Dark Magician Girl, what type of magic do you use?"
Lucy noticed the pink magic wand that the Dark Magician Girl had casually tossed aside.
"It's black magic that my master taught me."
"Huh, does Dark Magician Girl have a master? Dark magic, that sounds amazing."
"Yes! Master's magical skills are incredibly high, but he doesn't like crowds and rarely shows himself."
The dark magician girl hugged Pru tightly and squirmed him for a moment before saying, "I'll have my master introduce you to someone another day. A master can definitely help you become stronger!"
"Really? Thank you!"
While the two blonde girls were having a very pleasant conversation.
The bar area away from the banquet center.
Chase and Mira stood side by side, while Makarov sat casually on the table.
"I see. I never expected that the S commission to subdue pirates would involve such a thing."
After listening to Chase's description of the entire incident on the Isle of Evil Ruins, Makarov showed a rather surprised expression.
If such a huge conspiracy is hidden behind it, then this commission is not an ordinary S-rank, but the highest level of difficulty, and may even go further to SS-rank.
Above SS-rank are the ten-year missions and the hundred-year missions!
"Mira, organize the relevant information and send it to the council. Those old fogies have been urging us to do it since we got back," Makarov said to Mira.
"Understood." Mirana nodded with a smile.
"As for Chess, you'll be coming with me to the guild leader's meeting in Kurobala Town tomorrow. This whole affair has blown up so much; we need to really put the other guilds in their place!"
The thought of finally being able to show off at this meeting made Makarov's upturned lips harder to suppress than an AK.
"The president's regular meeting in Kurobala Town."
Without a second thought, Chess agreed, "No problem."
Makarov and Mira were taken aback by his straightforward attitude.
Isn't this guy usually the one who hates attending meetings the most? Why did he agree so readily this time?
"This isn't like you at all..."
Makarov frowned slightly, his tone filled with deep confusion.
He was prepared to use force to make Lachess look good.
"Haha, I have a feeling something interesting will happen at this meeting."
Chase just smiled and didn't offer any further explanation.
--------------
The banquet ended in a predictable brawl among the guests.
However, with Makarov present, the commotion was quickly suppressed.
Under his reprimand, the group, having finished their "daily activities," began to get into work mode, accepting suitable assignments and leaving one after another.
Meanwhile, Chase took the Dark Magician Girl to the Council of Mages to hand over the Dark Guild Master Clooney, who was sealed inside a card.
The situation was urgent, and he was focused on getting to the Island of the Demon's Ruins as soon as possible. Clooney couldn't just leave it unattended, so he had to use the card sealing technique that card mages were good at to temporarily imprison it.
After a series of events, I finally have time to bring this S-level commission to a perfect close.
With the success of the Relic Island incident as a precedent, the entire handover process went smoothly, and Chase easily obtained the $990 million commission that Marshall had left in the Council.
When we returned to the guild, it was already dusk with the sun setting.
As soon as she entered, Mira waved in their direction.
"You're back, Chess. There are a few mages from Black Pheasant Legs who have been waiting for you for a long time."
Upon hearing the familiar guild name, Chess's lips twitched.
No, we're already in Magnolia, how come we can still hear about this little black guild?
What a damned, twisted fate!
Following Mira's gaze, Chase saw the Black Pheasant Leg Mage sitting and chatting with Lucy Cana.
"Ina, Buklevin, Dassanio, it's you guys."
Recognizing the three, he instantly guessed their purpose and laughed, "Honestly, you guys are something else. It was just a small favor, why did you have to come all the way to the guild to thank me?"
Upon hearing this, Lucy Kana, who was standing next to her, immediately gave her a disdainful look.
The next second, Ina, with her large breasts and long legs, suddenly stood up, her face slightly flushed, and quickly walked to Chess. She pushed forward with her fair hand and shouted:
"Give me my money back!"
Here's what happened: Having agreed with Chase to share the losses of the merchant ship, they returned to port with the help of the naval guard.
As a result, they waited from dusk till night, and from night till dawn, but they never saw Chess. Instead, they received today's newspaper.
Realizing they had been stood up, they had no choice but to reluctantly pay the merchant ship captain compensation far exceeding the commission fee, and then rush to Fairy Tail to collect the debt!
"Huh?"
The unexpected expression of gratitude left Chase stunned.
"Aha, ahaha, sorry, sorry, I was so busy, I completely forgot about it..."
Realizing what was happening, he quickly looked at the dark magic girl beside him.
My money has always been kept by the Dark Magician Girl, which makes it easier to put it into the cards.
After inquiring about the amount of compensation, the Dark Magician Girl promptly took out her money—paying for Ina and the other two as well, of course.
As I said before, Chase, who can easily earn several million from an S-level commission, is far from short of money.
Unlike her two teammates who were overjoyed to hear about the full compensation, Ina accepted the compensation in a daze, somewhat at a loss for what to do.
Wow, so cute, so pretty! I feel like I've seen this girl next to Mr. Chase somewhere before...
She manages Mr. Chase's money, so is she his girlfriend...?
The short-haired girl looked somewhat disheveled and insecure.
To be honest, the reason she mustered up the courage to seek out Fairy Tail this time wasn't because of money at all!
"Alright! The matter is resolved, Black Pheasant's Leg friends can go back now."
Mira clapped her hands, still wearing a gentle smile, but a strong sense of aggression was hidden deep in her eyes.
"After all, they are different guilds, and without a formal guild leader's document, staying there for too long could cause a lot of trouble~"
Although Ina still had a lot to say to Chess, it was really not appropriate for him to linger since he had already said so much.
After saying "Sorry to bother you," he left dejectedly with his two teammates.
Lucy, who was lying in the corner watching the show, looked wise, her gaze constantly switching between Chess, Mira, the Dark Magician Girl, and the departing Ina.
Ultimately, Detective Lucy came to a conclusion in her mind:
They're having an affair! (Tongue curl)
