Chapter 72

"You're back!"

Looking at the familiar guild gate, Lucy cried with joy. She didn't expect that it was just a vacation, but she actually caused so many troubles.

"boom!"

Without saying a word, Natsu kicked the guild door open.

"We're back!"

As Natsu shouted, everyone in the guild surrounded them.

"How's it going? Is the beach fun?"

"Are there many beauties?"

Macao and Wakaba's focus is not quite right, but it seems to be quite right.

"You two idiots, Natsu and the others are here to destroy a big conspiracy! Congratulations on successfully stopping that conspiracy, come and have a drink!"

Cana held up a large wine barrel and gestured towards them, which made Lucy wave her hands in surprise.

"Sister~Welcome back~" Lisanna ran forward, took Mirajane's luggage, took her hand and walked aside and whispered, "How about it? Did it work?"

Mirajane blushed instantly and secretly whispered something into Lisanna's ear. Lisanna jumped three feet high with joy. Mirajane quickly grabbed Lisanna and the two of them kept whispering, turning to look at Raphael from time to time.

Raphael couldn't help but look sideways, this girl, no matter her age, seemed to be quite gossipy, and Mira was enough, she actually even read her own gossip, and couldn't figure it out.

Natsu, Gray and others lost themselves in the exclamations of everyone and laughed heartlessly.

Erza watched silently, and suddenly exhaled a long breath, her whole body relaxed, and a smile appeared on her face. Sure enough, this was where she felt truly relaxed.

"You're back, you brats!"

An old voice sounded, it was Makarov. He brought Juvia over to greet everyone.

"Oh!" Gray exclaimed in surprise.

"This is the new member Juvia! Isn't it super cute!" Makarov proudly said to them with his hands on his hips.

"You really joined! That's great!" Gray said with a smile on his hips.

"Ah~Juvia...Thank you for your help when we were in Akani!" Erza and Lucy also smiled and welcomed her.

"Please take care of everyone, and your love rival." Juvia bowed slightly to everyone, and then said to Lucy with a smile.

"Ah...you..." Lucy couldn't help but complain.

"It seems that you all know each other. I was worried that you wouldn't like it if I were from the Ghost Guild! This makes me feel relieved." Makarov nodded and looked at them with a smile.

"It's okay, she is our partner now!"

Erza smiled and acknowledged Juvia's identity.

"That's good, besides her, we have a new partner!" Makarov shouted to the figure drinking wine next to him, "Stop drinking, come and say hello!"

"It's him~" Looking at Gajeel turning around, Mirajane looked at him with a smile.

Gajeel saw Mirajane and Raphael looking at him with smiles, and instantly felt a little cold on his back, and began to regret coming here.

Since Gajeel did not cause harm to the guild like in the original work, everyone did not reject him and even felt a little pity for him.

After all, they all knew how badly Gajeel was beaten. Looking at everyone's eyes, Gajeel's teeth were almost broken, but in front of Raphael, he said hello obediently for fear of being beaten again.

"Well... hello everyone... my name is Gajeel, and I have become a new member of the Fairy Tail Guild starting today. Please give me your advice!"

Gajeel sat upright and raised his right hand to introduce himself. He looked like a golden retriever who was found demolishing his home.

"Relax. If you join Fairy Tail, you will be a partner. As long as you don't harm your partner, I won't do anything." Raphael smiled and extended his hand to Gajeel.

Gajeel hesitated for a moment, then reached out and took Raphael's hand.

"President, you made a profit, you kidnapped another dragon!" Mirajane looked at Makarov with a smile, and Makarov raised his head proudly.

"He was raised by dragons?" Natsu suddenly became excited and rushed over like a runaway husky, knocking Raphael away.

"Ah! Raphael~" Mirajane quickly ran to catch up with Raphael.

"Hmm... I seem to have seen some incredible scenes..." Lucy looked at Raphael who was knocked away with her mouth wide open, and murmured to Gray next to her.

"It's normal. I feel a little uncomfortable." Gray said normally, but he felt very uncomfortable, as if he was being seen out.

[Oh oh oh oh! Master Gray is so open-minded! Naked~ Damn it, that Lucy dares to look at my Gray-sama! ]

Juvia, who was still shy, suddenly turned into a fiery state and swept Lucy away.

"Um..." Gajeel looked at the scene in front of him with black lines on his head. He once again felt that he had entered the wrong Fairy Tail.

"Na na na, you were also raised by a dragon? Who taught you your dragon-slaying magic?"

Natsu circled around him and asked him. Gajeel's head hurt even more. He covered his head helplessly and said, "You are really annoying! It's Mary Darkana, the Steel Dragon Mary Darkana!"

"You were indeed raised by dragons!" Natsu excitedly started spitting fire into the sky.

"Are you too?" Gajeel looked at him in surprise, and then realized that Natsu had said it many times.

"Yes, yes, I was raised by Igneel, but he disappeared... Where is yours?" Natsu became depressed.

"What? Yours is gone too? When?! Is it..." Gajeel grabbed Natsu's shoulders anxiously and asked.

"Yours too..." Natsu looked at Gajeel with the same surprise, "Is it also..."

"July 7, X777!"

"July 7, X777!"

The two told the time in unison and looked at each other in surprise.

"Why are they all 7?" Natsu looked at Gajeel in confusion.

"Yeah...why?" Gajeel looked at Natsu with the same confusion.

"Forget it, if you have any news about Igunir, please tell me. I'm leaving!"

Natsu instantly lost interest in Gajeel and turned around to leave.

"So heartless! Why should I tell you?" Gajeel looked at Natsu helplessly and said.

"Because we are partners, right?" Natsu turned to Gajeel and smiled, "If I have news about Mary Dakana, I will tell you too!"

Partner...?

Gajeel was stunned. He looked at the noisy people around him, at Mirajane who was holding Raphael and shaking him, at Juvia chasing Lucy, at Gray and Natsu moving...

"This is the true meaning of the guild's existence!" Makarov stood in front of him and said to him with a smile.

"Really...it's really warm..."

Gajeel understood what Juvia said at this moment.

"Come with me to Fairy Tail! You won't be alone there anymore."
