Just then, a man walked over, his upper body bare.
"Actually, you don't have to feel awkward. There are plenty of people in the guild who will ask you to team up."
Suddenly, Cana reminded, "Gray, your clothes?"
"Ah! When did that happen!"
Natsu looked at Gray with some impatience, "Ugh, how annoying."
Gray was immediately displeased when he heard that.
"You stinky fire-breather, did you just say 'how annoying'!"
"Super annoying perverted naked guy!"
"Huh?" Gray then slammed his head into Natsu's with an annoyed expression.
"Are you looking for a fight!"
"Heh! Suits me just fine."
The two started arguing like that.
Just then, Loki slowly walked over and slung his arm over Lucy's shoulder.
"Lucy, how about we form a love team, tonight perhaps?"
Loki's advances had been dismissed by Lucy as soon as she joined the guild.
"Huh?!"
"I think you're truly beautiful; even my sunglasses can't block your charm."
Just as Loki was about to continue his love offensive, he suddenly noticed the keys hanging from Lucy's waist.
His expression suddenly changed.
"Th-that, what, are you a Celestial Spirit Mage?"
Happy came out to explain, "Aye~ And there's a crab and a cow too."
Loki looked regretful, "Oh~ I didn't expect fate to be so cruel. I'm sorry, our love team is hereby disbanded."
With that, he quickly ran out of the guild, crying.
Lucy looked speechless, "We never even started, okay?"
Mira: "Loki seems to be very bad at dealing with Celestial Spirit Mages. I heard he was hurt by a Celestial Spirit Mage before."
Then Lucy glanced at Ye Yang, who was lying there like a boss, watching Natsu and Gray argue.
"I really envy you, like a boss, you don't have to do quests, and you have countless amounts of money coming in."
Mirajane came out to explain, "He's different from others. He doesn't do many quests in a year."
"I know, with him like this, he won't have to do quests his whole life, it'll be fine."
Mirajane clearly knew Lucy had misunderstood. Just as she was about to explain to her, she saw Loki rushing back into the guild from outside.
"N-no good! Erza is back!!"
The once lively guild immediately fell silent upon hearing that Erza was back.
Natsu and Gray, who were arguing, immediately showed expressions as if they had seen a ghost, and Ye Yang also began to play dead.
Lucy looked around, confused.
"Erza is? I think I heard Natsu mention her before."
"Why does it feel like everyone in the guild is so afraid of her?"
"Who exactly is she?"
Natsu panicked, "That's a monster!"
Gray echoed, "That's a demon!"
Their words made Lucy even more curious.
Mira explained, "Don't listen to their nonsense. Erza is the strongest female Mage in Fairy Tail right now."
⊙ω⊙ "The strongest?! What kind of person is she exactly?"
At this moment, everyone in the guild looked towards the door. Suddenly, a series of huge tremors came from the ground. As the sound grew closer, everyone became more and more flustered.
Lucy even imagined Erza as some kind of monster.
Outside the guild, a figure appeared in front, carrying a huge object with one hand.
"Boom!" Is the Master here or not!
⊙ω⊙ "So beautiful!"
Mira explained, "The Master went out for a routine meeting."
"I see."
Then her somewhat disappointed expression changed.
"You guys, you've caused trouble for the Master again! I heard about it while I was on a quest!"
Erza then started scolding several members.
And when her eyes looked at Natsu and Gray, the two were sweating profusely, hugging each other tightly.
Gray: "E-Erza, we're very good friends today too."
Natsu: "Aye~"
"Hmm, good. Although friends sometimes fight, I still like to see you two get along harmoniously."
She then looked at Ye Yang, who was playing dead in his chair.
"You're getting lazier and lazier, you know! It's easy to lead new recruits astray like that!"
The thing Ye Yang hated most was being nagged.
"Yes, yes, yes, my fault, my fault, it won't happen again."
Erza nodded with satisfaction.
"Come with me on a quest tomorrow."
"Yes, yes, yes, huh?! A quest?"
Erza didn't give Ye Yang a chance to refuse and simply left the guild with the horn.
Lucy was still confused. Why was everyone so afraid of such a beautiful person? "What exactly is going on?"
Mirajane explained, "Natsu challenged Erza to a fight and got severely beaten."
"Gray was caught by Erza without his clothes on and also got disciplined."
"And Loki, because he pursued Erza, also got a severe beating."
Lucy asked, "What about Ye Yang? Was he also severely disciplined by her?"
Mira shook her head, "No, Ye Yang has gotten lazier and lazier these past few years, doing only a few requests a year. Erza always scolds him whenever she sees him."
"Coincidentally, what he hates most is having someone nag him non-stop. San Mao is one, Erza is another."
"I see, so who is San Mao?"
"Emmm, judging by the time, you'll meet him very soon."
"I see."
After Erza left, the guild members started discussing.
"Did you guys hear that? That Erza actually wants Ye Yang's help!"
"Yeah, yeah, are they going to conquer some country?"
"I think they're going to make a move on the Council."
The more they talked, the more exaggerated it became, leaving Lucy stunned. She then looked at Ye Yang, who had returned to his original state.
"Is this guy really that strong?"
In her memory, Ye Yang had only made a move once, a powerful golden light that instantly wiped out the opposing group. He was indeed very strong, but Lucy only thought Ye Yang was on the same level as Natsu.
What she didn't know was that the seemingly ultimate move of golden light was just a casual strike from Ye Yang.
The next morning, Magnolia Station.
Ye Yang, who had been woken up early by Erza, walked with a tired expression.
Suddenly, he seemed to notice something and looked towards the pillar behind him.
"We've been discovered!"
"It's all Natsu's fault, why did he move around so much?"
"How can you blame me? Lucy is clearly too fat!"
"What did you say! Where am I fat?"
Just as the three began to argue, a figure appeared in front of them.
The three people and one cat slowly looked up, seeing Erza's serious expression.
"Why are you guys here?"
Cold sweat slowly trickled down the three people and one cat.
Happy flew directly onto Ye Yang's head.
"Boss, I was dragged here by Natsu."
Lucy froze in place, "He said all my lines!"
That's right, Lucy was also sleeping soundly at home and was directly dragged over by Natsu.
