Do you want to join Fairy Tail?”】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【This time, Black Natsu stopped his pace, turned around, and his gaze also became serious.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【“I only have one question, what can the guild bring me?”】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Makarov frowned slightly, his whole person seeming to change his temperament.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Looking at Black Natsu without avoiding his gaze.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【“The meaning of a guild is something you need to experience yourself, whether it’s happiness, joy, or sadness, etc…”】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【“This point, I cannot guarantee to you, but, you want to say what it can bring you?”】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【“First, you need to work, you need money, you can’t rely on the fragmented quests of the City Lord’s Mansion forever, those quests, the two million J reward quests, are already the ceiling.”】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【“But joining a guild is different, you can come into contact with more quests, more rewards, I believe, sitting and eating until the mountain is empty is not your character.”】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【“Second, challenge! As a wizard, although you are already very strong now, but precisely because you are very strong, a person like you shouldn't be willing to stop here, right?”】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【“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.”】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【“Third: Companions! You, who are used to being alone, might not be able to understand this meaning for the time being, but believe me, this is something worth experiencing.”】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【“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 can’t reach it in their entire lives, don't you want to set foot in it?”】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【“The world also has many unknowns, and also has many beauties; all of this is waiting for you young people full of vigor to explore.”】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【“This is adventure; in addition to adventure, there is a home to return to, a sense of belonging, a group of friends, relatives, etc., waiting for your return; are these enough?”】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Makarov’s words made Black Natsu fall silent.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【After a long while, the corner of his mouth raised slightly.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【“Old man, you convinced me!”】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【“Besides, you’re not bad, so I’ll go and take a look with you.”】\u003C\u002Fp>",1717,"2026-06-15T13:50:31.687Z","2026-06-15T13:55:36.354Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","10e991f6e956269f5727f0742077dd8347593137ea777688db4d0a4e8c9a6001","fairy-tail-a-tale-of-two-natsus-this-one-truly-s-chapter-97","fairy-tail-a-tale-of-two-natsus-this-one-truly-s-chapter-95",287,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ffairy-tail-a-tale-of-two-natsus-this-one-truly-s-cover.jpg"]
