Chapter 206

[Only Lisanna was left in the villa, holding a plate of fish, in a mess.]

[...]

[Kunoba Town.]

[On a mountain path.]

[Makarov walked proudly on the path with Black Natsu.]

[A gorgeous, tall villa could already be seen ahead.]

[That was the venue for this routine meeting.]

[On the way, Makarov still couldn't help but urge: "I'm telling you, you don't need to hold back when the time comes; whoever comes up, you just punch them!"]

["Remember, don't care what I say."]

["Anyway, don't go easy on them; that guy named Jura does have some ability."]

["Therefore, you must be careful not to capsize in the gutter, or my old Makarov's face will be lost."]

["As for the strongest of the younger generation of other guilds, there is no need to care so much."]

["Oh, right, there is also that guy named Ichiya; Erza met him when she was working before, and it is said that he is a guy who made Erza suffer, so be careful."]

[Makarov didn't stop his mouth along the way, like chanting scriptures.]

[Making Black Natsu almost collapse.]

["I said, is it necessary to be so attentive? Your level of importance is much more serious than when I took the S-class exam."]

[Hearing this, Makarov's expression stiffened involuntarily.]

["Sigh, isn't it because I'm a bit nervous? After all, the opponent's strength is not weak, and I haven't seen you make a move for a long time."]

["Give me a bottom line, what level are you at now?"]

[Makarov asked seriously.]

["What level..." Black Natsu stopped.]

[After thinking for a while, he said: "Maybe number one?"]

["Number one of the younger generation?" Makarov asked?]

[Black Natsu didn't say much.]

["Almost there."]

[Yes, soon, the surrounding greenery receded.]

[A luxurious villa stood before the two.]

[From afar, Black Natsu could see the figure of Bob, the okama.]

[Beside Bob, there was also a short middle-aged man, er... maybe not middle-aged.]

[Anyway, he just looked like he had grown up in a hurry.]

["Bob?" Makarov shivered!]

[The next moment, Bob also saw the figures of Makarov and Black Natsu.]

[His face was happy!]

["Old Makarov!!"]

[Bob shouted and ran quickly toward this side.]

[Immediately after, under Makarov's panicked expression, a bear hug firmly held Makarov.]

["Old Makarov! Haven't seen you for so long, I missed you so much!"]

[Bob's voice, which was ten thousand times more terrifying than Lucy's, almost made Black Natsu gag.]

[But, the next moment, Bob also noticed Black Natsu.]

[Immediately released Makarov, who was almost out of breath.]

["Ya! Didn't expect it, Old Makarov actually brought your trump card; it's really been a long time, little Natsu."]

["Come! Uncle will give you a hug!"]

[Saying this, Bob rushed up again and gave Black Natsu a bear hug directly!]

["Ugh~~"]

[That deadly perfume almost made Black Natsu roll his eyes.]

[Only now did he understand why Makarov was almost out of breath just now.]

[It was really... this scent was more terrifying than poison magic.]

[It really makes people faint!]

Outside the screen.

Erza couldn't bear to watch anymore and sighed helplessly.

"This Hei Black Nazi... finally saw him suffer a little loss."

Gray: "Agreed, this is probably the most miserable loss Hei Black Nazi has suffered since his debut, right?"

Lucy: "I once had a brief encounter, that feeling... sigh... it's hard to describe."

Yagiyama: "I'm familiar with this! I'm really familiar with this!"

Natsu: "By the way... who are you?"

Gray: "You don't even remember this? That guy who played with shadows from Eisenwald back then."

Lucy: "Oh~ the one who was tortured by Master Bob until he was no longer human?"

Gajeel: "Looking at you guys, is it that terrifying? Are you all scared out of your wits?"

Bob: "Exactly, exactly, how can you say that about people?"

"I was just happy, that's all."

"It has to be little Gajeel who is understanding; do you want to come to Blue Pegasus? Following that guy Old Ma has no future."

Makarov: "Bastard Bob, what are you trying to do? Poaching?"

Bob: "Old Ma, how can you say that? How is this poaching? It's clearly that little Gajeel and I are kindred spirits, right?"

"Love you, little Gajeel!"

Inside the Fairy Tail guild.

Gajeel was petrified on the spot.

"Love... love??"

He widened his eyes and opened his mouth, as if he couldn't believe his own eyes.

He rubbed them, and after confirming that Bob really did say the word "love."

Goosebumps broke out all over his body.

"Th... that... let me ask, this Bob... is he a man or a woman?"

Lucy: "Should be considered a man, right?"

Erza: "Strictly speaking, he is a man."

Gray: "But I've always suspected he's a woman!"

Gajeel: "Is there no accurate statement?"

Erza: "Yes, this is Master Bob; Gajeel, if you want to go..."

Following Erza's words, the people in the guild neatly cleared a path.

"We will bless you!"

Everyone shouted in unison.

Gajeel was already scared out of his wits; so this turned out to be an okama??

He replied with a trembling voice: "I... I'm not going!"

Makarov: "By the way, Bob in his youth was indeed very handsome."

Gajeel: "What does whether he's handsome or not have to do with me? You bastards!!"

[In the screen.]

[Hei Black Nazi, held in a bear hug, forcibly suppressed the urge to roar and vomit on this guy.]

[It wasn't until Bob let go of Hei Black Nazi that he let out a sharp sigh of relief.]

[His figure moved two steps behind Makarov without a sound.]

[This is just too terrifying, isn't it??]

[Makarov also coughed twice, hands behind his back, and greeted Bob properly.]

["Why did you come so early, you guy?"]

["It's not early anymore, everyone is almost here."]

[Bob walked with a swan step, moving bit by bit toward Hei Black Nazi.]

[Hei Black Nazi's face turned pale.]

[His figure moved a few steps to the side of Makarov without a sound again.]

[Suddenly, Makarov also began to panic.]

[His eyes kept signaling Hei Black Nazi, as if saying, don't lead him to me.]

[But Hei Black Nazi turned a deaf ear, using Makarov to block himself firmly behind.]

[Seeing that the situation was not good, Makarov hurriedly looked at the short figure who came with Bob and asked:]

["Is this Ichiya? He looks... er... a man of talent."]

["Haha, not bad, not bad, Old Ma!"]

[Bob also got interested, directly leaning to Makarov's side, and introduced Ichiya.]

["He is a very strong Black Mage, the strongest Black Mage in my Blue Pegasus, Ichiya!"]

["Come, say hello to Old Ma and the others," Bob said.]

[Ichiya was an adult male under 1.4 meters tall.]

[He had an exaggerated cube-shaped face, a large nose, and his appearance... was average; he was dressed in a white suit, and he was striking a handsome pose.]

[It seemed to have lasted for a long time, so much so that Hei Black Nazi could clearly notice his feet were shaking.]

[Hearing himself being introduced, Ichiya finally changed to an even more handsome pose.]

[His right hand brushed his greasy side bangs, revealing those somewhat melancholic little eyes.]

["Men~ My name is Ichiya, you must be Natsu, right? I've heard your name; a 100% mission completion rate to date, that's quite exaggerated!"]

[Ichiya leaned in, and his palm, full of hair oil and dandruff from just brushing his greasy hair, reached out toward Hei Black Nazi.]

[Hei Black Nazi's eyelids were twitching wildly, and the corners of his mouth couldn't stop twitching.]

["Er... hello."]

[Under the gaze of his elder, Hei Black Nazi still bit the bullet and shook hands with Ichiya shallowly.]

["Haha, let's go, there are many people of the younger generation inside, I'll take you in to meet them."]

[I have to say, Ichiya is indeed quite good in some aspects, but...]

[Why does one inexplicably get the urge to beat him up?]

[Hei Black Nazi forcibly suppressed the urge erupting in his mind.]

[Secretly warning himself that this is also a kind of cultivation.]

[A kind of... spiritual cultivation...]

[Sniff... sniff...]

[Abruptly, Hei Black Nazi looked in astonishment at Ichiya circling around him; this guy... was sniffing the scent on his body with his nose like a pervert.]

["What a refreshing scent, full of the vigor of a man!"]

[Ichiya exclaimed!]

["You... don't come near me!"]

[Unable to hold back anymore, Hei Black Nazi slapped Ichiya's cheek with a hand that flew out.]

[Boom!!]

["Men~~"]

[Ichiya flew off on the spot!]

[But, the shocking part appeared; this guy...]

[Even in the posture of flying backward, he maintained what he thought was a handsome look.]

[Even... behind his flying figure, there were shiny star-like trails??]

[Accompanied by a roar, Ichiya's figure was embedded firmly into the wall of the villa.]

Hades: "He made a move!! Even Hei Black Nazi couldn't help but make a move!!"

Brain: "Hiss~~ this guy, can he even disturb Hei Black Nazi's composure?"]

Blue Pegasus Trio: "As expected of Master Ichiya, even Hei Black Nazi couldn't handle it!"]

Ichiya: "Men~ stay calm, stay calm, these are all small scenes~"]

Blue Pegasus Trio: "Brother Ichiya is mighty~"]

Lyon: "These guys actually treat it as an honor??"]

Sherria: "In a sense, this can already be considered very strong, right?"]

"To be an existence that even Hei Black Nazi couldn't help but..."

[The sudden scene stunned Makarov and Bob on the side.]

[The two looked at Ichiya in the wall in astonishment.]

[Makarov's mouth twitched.]

[Why... did he make a move??]

[Bob stroked his fat cheek with one hand and smiled: "Ara ara, young people are really energetic."]

[Makarov's expression was stiff: "Er, yes, yes..."]

[...]

[The routine meeting was held as scheduled.]

[In the magnificent villa.]

[Under the attention of major newspaper offices in Ishgar, a serious discussion on various aspects of the magic world was being conducted inside the villa.]

[The heads of major newspaper offices had already spoken; once the results of this meeting came out.]

[They must report it immediately, letting the entire magic world know about the various decisions concerning the magic world that were about to be finalized.]

[For this reason, a group of reporters had long been surrounding the area ten kilometers outside the villa.]

[After all, in order not to disturb the masters of the major guilds, these interviewers had to remain quiet.]

[Otherwise, if they influenced these high-ranking masters to make any wrong decisions.]

[I'm afraid it would affect the peace of the magic world; this is a very serious and cautious matter.]

[It cannot tolerate the slightest carelessness.]

[A group of reporters waited patiently, looking forward to the end of the meeting.]

[And at this moment, at the scene of the routine meeting.]

[Behind that luxurious villa.]

[Joyful laughter filled the entire villa.]

["Hey! Goldmine, you bastard, are you raising fish for me? Drink, drink quickly, at such an old age, you're still trying to skimp on a little wine, do you want any face?"]

[Amidst the laughter, Makarov pointed at the remaining wine in Goldmine's glass and shouted.]

["Tch, are you drunk, old man? This is already my second round, and you're still on the first; are you the one skimping on wine?" Goldmine responded disdainfully.]

[Bob: "Ara ara, Old Ma, you're being immoral."]

[Old Lady Oba: "This is Old Ma, very cunning in his ways."]

["Hey, Oba, what are you joining in on when we men are drinking? Go aside, go aside." Makarov waved his hand indifferently.]

[The alcohol had already gone to his head, and he couldn't help but hiccup.]

[Old Lady Oba wasn't angry at all, but changed the subject: "Look, the banquet is almost over, shouldn't we let these juniors have a competition?"]

[As soon as these words were spoken, a flash of brilliance flickered in the eyes of the previously drunken Makarov!]

[His dizzy head instantly cleared at this moment, but he didn't reveal it, instead continuing to pretend to be drunk.]

[As if not caring, he waved his hand: "Forget it, Oba, who doesn't know that Jura from your guild is already ranked among the Ten Wizard Saints? Isn't this bullying people if we keep fighting?"]

[Oba frowned slightly: "Old man, are you trying to back out?"]

[Makarov smiled obscurely, then immediately put on a bitter face: "There's no way around it, we can't win; I brought that child today just to let him see and learn."]

[Oba shook her head like a rattle: "No, no, this was agreed upon from the beginning; didn't you, Old Ma, say that anyone from your guild could beat all of us other guilds combined?"]

[Not far away, Hei Black Nazi heard this and almost spat out the wine he was drinking.]

[Good guy, when Makarov said it before, he thought it was just about beating that bald guy, but now he realized Makarov was bragging about beating everyone!]

[He finally understood why Makarov said Erza and the others weren't stable; with such big talk, Erza and the others might really not be able to handle it.]
