Chapter 277

【Time seemed to have pressed the fast-forward button, flowing continuously under everyone's gaze.】

【In the blink of an eye, two years had passed since Black Natsu became an S-Class Mage.】

【These two years could be described as an exceptionally busy two years.】

【After all, Black Natsu, who had been burdened with astronomical debt two years ago, had to work at a high frequency to pay it off.】

【Of course, it wasn't just Black Natsu, Gildarts was the same.】

【They were even jokingly called the Diligent Duo by the people in the guild.】

【The mission board on the second floor of the guild, specifically for posting S-Class missions, was almost entirely monopolized by the two.】

【But, suffering from the fact that there were too few S-Class missions, throughout the year, each person could only get a dozen or so.】

【And not every reward could exceed 10 million J.】

【Therefore, it took a full two years for the two of them to scrape together 200 million J each to pay off the debt.】

【As for the remaining 60 million plus J, it was all covered by Makarov.】

【For this, Makarov even started selling off his property to make up the difference in this compensation.】

【In short, over the past two years, in order to pay off the debt, they had tried every possible method.】

【Black Natsu even opened up the villa he lived in and rented it out.】

【However, the tenants were of course only Erza, Mirajane, Lisanna, and others.】
