Chapter 5: Arrival
Chapter 5
Magnolia is a trading city with a population of 60,000 people and the home of the most powerful guild in Fiore, Fairy Tail.
Right now, Elsa and I are standing in front of the gates of this city, holding a huge bag of meat made from monster skins by hand behind our backs. To be honest, my sense of proportion failed when I started hunting monsters as a gamer who farms resources for the future or for sale. And now I'm thinking about how we can get into the city. After all, for free, with such a huge amount of goods, they will not let in those who are not members of a trading or magic guild, and we had no choice but to wait near the gate until some merchant appeared who would agree to buy our skins and meat for cheap. It was a little disappointing to realize that here it is, the goal is almost in front of us, but we can't refuse this money. We need something to live on. If we would definitely have no problems with food, then with a place to live, everything is the opposite, we can't do without money there.
- Girls, are you waiting for someone? - I soon heard an old voice, but one filled with strength and kindness. Looking around, I saw a small old man next to whom walked the not unknown to me Dragneel, who naturally did not hold back and was already flying towards me at full speed.
- You smell like a dragon! - he shouted in my face so that I could not resist and threw my reinforced fist right into his liver, from which he lost consciousness.
- Ahem, forgive me for having to take care of my colleague? - I calmly apologized to Makarov, adding a question at the end about my relationship with Dragneel. - My name is Wendy Marvel, daughter and student of the heavenly dragon Grandina, and this is my companion Elsa Scarlet. We wanted to join your guild, but while we were collecting meat and skins to sell and get money for living expenses at first, we somehow forgot to take into account the tax on import of goods for people who are not members of the guild. - Trying to keep my face as serious and responsible as possible, I introduced myself and told the essence of our problem, and Elsa nodded with a serious face, confirming my words.
- Well, I think I can help you with this, provided that you join Fairy Tail - answered the Master, although a little surprised by such a quick reprisal against the fire dragon slayer. - We just needed to buy a new batch of meat for the kitchen, and we'll deal with the skins. Let's go! - He picked up the unconscious Dragneel and led us to the guild. The city was very lively, it immediately became noticeable how much magic was used here. Magic lacrima was sold in literally every store for feeding artifacts to non-mages, and I made a note to myself to visit the local forge and make it in my future home, I need to use the advantages of the system.
Along the way, we attracted quite a lot of attention, and it's not surprising, considering how surreal it looks.
2 little girls are dragging a huge bag behind them like a feather, and next to them is an even shorter old man carrying an unconscious pink-haired boy on his shoulder. If I weren't tired from a long hike, I might even laugh a little at this situation, but now I want to quickly register in the guild and find a place for Elsa and me to rest.
Soon we found ourselves in front of the guild doors, and I wanted to do something like this in the style of Fairy Tail.
-Master Makarov, can I open the door in the style of Fairy Tail? — and most importantly, make the face cuter, so that the old man's heart literally melts with affection.
-Of course! — the Master answered without thinking twice.
-Hurray! — I answered joyfully and flew into the guild gates with my foot, and when the doors slammed open against the walls, I shouted.- You weren't expecting us, but we showed up!
Makarov and Elsa stared at me in shock, proud.
-E-if it's not a secret, why did you decide that this is in the spirit of the guild? — Makarov asked me.
-Well, of course. Isn't Fairy Tail, in addition to being the strongest guild in Fiore, a gathering of the biggest troublemakers in the country with constant fights and drinking in the guild hall? — I answered innocently.- So I decided that the first entrance should be on a grand scale.
What we didn't notice was that a certain fire mage had already woken up and, listening to my words, caught fire. - I want to blow the door up too! - As a result, he received a healthy fist to the head.
-Okay, punks, follow me to the office. You can leave the meat and skins in the bar, Lisa will count everything. - said Dreyar Sr. and led us to his office.
