A quest paying 200,000 Jewel to burn a book?!
Weiss's eyes glinted.
Wasn't this Lucy and Natsu's first newbie gig in the original?
Well, Lucy's newbie task—Natsu's a vet.
He'd already tackled dozens of missions—bandits, monsters, dark guilds.
"Eh? A task this easy?!"
"And such a fat paycheck!"
200,000 Jewel could cover their rent for a month!
Smack!
Lucy mentally swatted the giddy mini-Lucy in her head.
"Their" home?
She and Weiss weren't hitched yet!
He hadn't even confessed!
Resentment flared—she glared at him.
Why'd it feel like he'd already reeled her in?!
"Take it, Weiss!"
Calming down, Lucy urged.
Living with Weiss was one thing—she wouldn't mooch off him forever.
A girl with grit and goals, she'd joined this guild to be a wizard.
Commissions, tasks, cash—must-dos!
Plus, snagging more Celestial Keys to become the top Celestial Wizard!
And these adventures? Prime fodder for her novel—double win!
"Cool."
Weiss nodded.
Doable task.
A shot for Lucy to snag Virgo's key.
After a quick chat, Lucy grabbed the slip from Natsu, scanning it.
[Beware: Super Perverted Client! Seeking Blonde Maids!]
She shot Natsu a flat look.
"Lucy's blonde~"
"Sneak in as a blonde maid!"
Natsu smirked.
Happy chimed, "Aye!"
"You schemers planned this! I'm framed!"
Lucy gaped, ambushed by their ploy.
Bang!
"Cool it, Lucy—Natsu and Happy are just messing with you."
As Lucy's pleading eyes hit Weiss, he swatted Natsu and Happy's heads.
Pulling her close, he debunked their gag.
Weiss, canon-savvy, knew this was Natsu and Happy's cheeky jest.
They hadn't expected Lucy's quick buy-in.
A whack each was payback.
"Ow!"
"Miaow, that stings—Weiss is ruthless!"
Natsu rolled, clutching his skull.
Happy, lightly tapped, flopped onto Weiss's back, paws pummeling in mock revenge.
"Listen up—Lucy's my girl. Cut the crude jokes, or worse."
Weiss hugged Lucy, his face darkening.
A sacred, fearsome dragon aura erupted!
"Gah!"
Natsu and Happy froze under the pressure.
Gulping, they stared, wide-eyed.
Done!
Weiss was pissed!
Dragon might, huh?
Natsu's shock mixed with glee—Weiss tied to dragons?
Happy clung to Natsu's head, trembling—Angry Weiss is terrifying! Meow!
"This…"
"What a vibe!"
"This kid?!"
Guildmates gawked, floored by Weiss's unleashed pressure.
A newbie with that kind of clout?!
They'd pegged him B-Rank tops—wrong.
Upstairs, Laxus's grin turned feral.
The Thunder God Tribe eyed Weiss too.
Makarov sipped his drink, gaze heavy.
"Ooooh! Okay, sorry, Lucy, Weiss—I get it!"
Weiss dialed back; Natsu snapped to, bowing earnestly.
