Chapter 401: Clip-on Lucy, reporting for duty!

【Inside a restaurant, Lucy is looking at the Black Natsu and Happy before her, thanking them solemnly.】

【"Thank you so much just now. That man who called himself the Fire Dragon actually used Charm Magic without any bottom line. It's something that was banned several years ago, after all."】

【"It's just too low-class."】

【As she speaks, Lucy cannot stop shaking her head.】

【Having said that, she looks again at Black Natsu and Happy, who are busy stuffing their faces.】

【"Come to think of it, I didn't expect you to be a mage too. You seem quite strong."】

【"However, don't look down on me because of that; I am actually a mage myself."】

【"Even though I haven't joined any guild."】

【"By the way, you guys should know about guilds, right?"】

【"A so-called guild is an organization where many mages gather, specifically to help mages find work, provide information, and so on."】

【Her fingers stroke her chin: "If you can't work within a guild, you can't be called a qualified mage."】

【Seeming to get more and more enthusiastic, Lucy cannot help but become excited.】

【"But, but! Although there are many such guilds in this world, joining the guild of one's dreams must be especially difficult, right?"】

【"The guild I want to join is one that gathers many incredible mages!!"】

【"Ah~ what to do, I really want to join that guild!!"】

【"But, thinking about it, a guild of that level must have very high requirements for those who want to join~~"】

【Lucy finally pauses, only to find that Black Natsu and Happy across from her are already completely bewildered.】

【It is truly... the dense barrage of words coming at them like raindrops.】

【It makes one not know how to parry at all...】

【There isn't even any topic one could possibly interject into, is there?】

【Black Natsu twitches the corner of his mouth: "Generally speaking... guilds should be pretty easy to join, right?"】

【Happy nods in agreement: "Anyway, I think it's quite simple."】

【As he speaks, Happy cannot help but tease: "But, you really can talk."】 ===== CHAPTER 402 =====
