Chapter 204

【Bloodshot eyes had already appeared in his pupils.】

【He didn't dare to look, he didn't dare to look at all, if he kept looking, Makarov was afraid that his heart disease would be angered out.】

【The sound of Black Natsu eating was still coming from the front, entering Makarov's ears.】

【It was as if he was eating gold!】

【No kidding, this guy was really eating gold!!】

【"That, sir, are you okay?"】

【The beautiful waitress seemed to notice Makarov's abnormality and asked with some concern.】

【"Looking at you, is it hypoglycemia? Why don't you have a signature dessert from our shop to replenish your sugar?"】

【Makarov supported his forehead and waved his hand at the beautiful waitress.】

【"No need... that's not replenishing sugar, that's replenishing my blood pressure..."】

【...】

【Finally... under Makarov's tearing gaze, Black Natsu finally ate enough.】

【Makarov's fist, which had been tightly clenched and could drip sweat, also relaxed at this moment.】

【Finally... it's over...】

【"Give me another one, no, ten after-dinner desserts."】

【Black Natsu's voice sounded again.】

【Making Makarov's pace, as he prepared to settle the bill, soften instantly, and he almost fell to the ground.】

【Soon, the bill for this time came out.】

【The moment Makarov saw the number on it!】

【He only felt his heartbeat accelerate in an instant, his blood pressure surged, and the world seemed to spin.】

【Damn it!!! Over 1.7 million J?!!!】

【Makarov walked unsteadily, his whole body couldn't help but support the bar counter, his bloodshot eyes staring fixedly at the cashier in front of him.】

【"You! Can you! Give a discount?!"】

【Once a Wizard Saint level mage gets angry, that aura is indeed powerful.】

【Soon, after many difficult negotiations with the shopkeeper, they gave a fruit platter...】

【... Outside the restaurant.】

【Makarov wandered on the street as if he had completely lost his soul.】

【The funds he had originally planned to vacation for two months had all been spent on this meal.】

【Even, Makarov had to mortgage a magic ring to barely make ends meet.】

【Otherwise, Makarov would have to wash dishes in someone else's kitchen now.】

【Coming outside the restaurant, Makarov looked back at the sign he couldn't understand before.】

【For a moment, his whole person seemed to suddenly realize.】

【So... this sign means this?】

【So... is it like this? Sure enough, this sign was really well taken, really well taken...】

【Makarov murmured as if he were crazy.】

【In stark contrast to him was Black Natsu beside him.】

【The current Black Natsu seemed to be in very good spirits.】

【The kind that walks with wind.】

【Makarov twitched the corner of his mouth, although his heart was bleeding, he still pretended to be fine and asked Black Natsu.】

【"Can we talk now?"】

【"How about it? Do you want to join Fairy Tail?"】

【This time, Black Natsu stopped his pace, turned around, and his gaze also became serious.】

【"I only have one question, what can the guild bring me?"】

【Makarov frowned slightly, his whole person seeming to have changed his temperament.】

【His gaze looked at Black Natsu without any avoidance.】

【"The meaning of the guild needs you to experience it yourself, whether it's happiness, joy, or sadness, etc..."】

【"This point, I cannot guarantee to you, but, if you want to say what it can bring you?"】

【"First, you need to work, you need money, it's impossible for you to rely on the fragmented requests of the Lord's mansion forever, those requests, the requests with a reward of two million J, are already the ceiling."】

【"And joining the guild is different, you can come into contact with more requests, more rewards, I believe that living off your savings is not your character."】

【"Second, challenge! As a mage, although you are already very strong now, but precisely because you are very strong, a person like you should not be willing to stagnate here, right?"】

【"Participating in various high-difficulty jobs can allow you to have enough growth, see more things, challenge more impossibilities, and thus break through yourself and reach a higher level."】

【"Third: Companions! You, who are used to being alone, may not be able to understand this meaning for the time being, but believe me, this is something worth experiencing."】

【"Finally: Perhaps for me, or perhaps for the many members of the guild, that is adventure, the world is very big, so big that many people cannot reach it in their entire lives, don't you want to step into it?"】

【"The world also has many unknowns, and also has many beautiful things, all of which are waiting for you young people full of vigor to explore."】

【"This is adventure, and in addition to adventure, there is a home to return to, a sense of belonging, a group of friends, relatives, etc., who are waiting for your return, are these enough?"】

【Makarov's words made Black Natsu fall silent.】

【After a long while, the corners of his mouth raised slightly.】

【"Old man, you convinced me!"】

【"Besides, you're not bad, so I'll go and see with you."】
