The next morning, at the entrance of the town's train station.
Aux yawned, a little tired, and soon Erza arrived.
She dragged a flatbed cart full of luggage, and many people cast strange glances at her along the way.
"Looks like you had a wonderful night," Erza teased, hands on her hips, smiling.
Aux shook his head, speechless.
He, too, thought he would have an unforgettable night, but reality was very cruel.
Yesterday, he was considering where to scrounge for food and drink.
A certain Noble Miss invited him back to her mansion to see goldfish, and as it was difficult to refuse her warm invitation, he accepted.
Initially, things were going smoothly, and they were confiding in each other.
But that Noble Miss had a younger brother, a few years old, who was also very enthusiastic about him and even wanted to stay with him at night.
During the night.
The Noble Miss secretly came to his room, but before she could speak, she woke up her young brother.
To coax the child, he and the Noble Miss stayed up until morning.
Everyone in the mansion woke up, and Aux could only regretfully leave the Noble Miss's house.
That night, not to mention not even holding hands, he didn't even get any sleep!
"Let's go!"
This was a huge loss.
He must go back when he has time in the future; that Noble Miss owed him an explanation no matter what.
"Do you need help buying a train ticket?" Erza asked.
Of course, he did!
Aux was now penniless and couldn't even think about continuing to travel the world.
He needed to go to Magnolia and get some money first.
The train sped along.
Aux took the opportunity to close his eyes and sleep, and vaguely heard someone calling him.
When he opened his eyes.
The train had already stopped at Magnolia Station, and Erza was patting his shoulder.
"Which Miss did you find that wore you out so much?" Erza asked curiously.
Aux stood up from his seat, stretched, and grumbled speechlessly, "I got entangled with a noble family's child; he wouldn't let me sleep."
Oh?
Erza looked at him in surprise; so he hadn't spoiled someone else's daughter after all.
After walking out of the station, they saw Erza's luggage piled high on the flatbed cart.
"Spend two days at the Guild first, then consider whether to join."
Erza pulled the flatbed cart, leading the way.
Aux silently followed behind. In fact, he had already decided to join the Guild last night.
Making money was one aspect; another was that he had thought of many interesting Addition Magic methods.
For example, adding Gigantification to Happy!
Letting the little cat go fight some Ten Wizard Saints, or even dragons.
There were even more interesting methods.
In Aux's understanding and years of experimentation, everything could have Addition Magic applied to it.
So he planned to apply Feminization to Natsu!
To see what Natsu would look like as a girl.
He also planned to apply an inferiority complex to the rebellious Laxus's personality!
There were many other uniquely interesting Addition Magic methods.
Many of the Addition Magic options had not been used in the original work.
But Aux had conducted similar experiments and could achieve these interesting additions.
Following Erza, he walked into Magnolia Town.
Unlike border towns.
Here, the residents in the streets and alleys were particularly leisurely.
Smiles never disappeared.
And many people greeted Erza; it was clear that the residents and Fairy Tail Guild had a good relationship.
The entire town was filled with a warm, sunny atmosphere.
Not long after.
Fairy Tail Guild arrived.
Walking through the wide-open door, the originally boisterous Guild members immediately fell silent!
Everyone looked at Erza with greatly astonished expressions.
"The whole room smells of alcohol, Cana, is this how you drink?"
Erza frowned upon entering, her sharp gaze falling on Cana, who was sitting on a table, legs spread wide, guzzling alcohol.
The latter awkwardly got off the table, and her drinking immediately became more ladylike.
"Elfman..."
"Macao..."
"Wakaba..."
Then came the roll call, as Erza, like a disciplinary committee member, criticized the members.
Aux watched, dumbfounded.
He could only say, she truly was the Fairy Queen, overflowing with charisma!
"Natsu, Gray!"
Finally, Erza called out names again.
"Aye~"
A strained cry rang out, and Aux saw Natsu, with his cherry-pink hair and a dragon-scale-like scarf.
He was arm-in-arm with Gray, who had black hair and droopy eyes.
The two displayed exceptionally friendly and intimate behavior, as if they were peerless brothers!
"Welcome home~"
Erza was about to speak when Mirajane, wearing a dress, greeted them sweetly.
Aux looked at her, deep in thought.
This year should be the time Lisanna disappeared, and this Mirajane was so elegant.
That could only mean that incident had already happened?
A bit of a pity.
Aux had originally thought that if that incident hadn't happened, he would save Lisanna.
To see if Mirajane, without the pain of losing her sister, would still retain her delinquent personality.
What a pity, what a pity.
"Oh, is this handsome guy Erza's boyfriend?"
Mirajane's eyes curved like crescent moons as she smiled.
She lightly covered her mouth with her hand, joking.
The Guild members all looked at Aux curiously, some with smiles.
And some with the hostility of a rival!
Erza explained, "He's the demon from the requested mission."
Mirajane was puzzled.
"Then the meaning of him following along is that he wants to be a Guild member, right? Come with me to register your information," Mirajane guessed.
This time, Aux didn't wait for Erza to speak, directly following Mirajane's steps to the next room for registration.
The adjacent room was clearly used for receiving outsiders; both its decor and atmosphere were very plain and unpretentious.
Mirajane sat opposite, preparing the papers.
"Name!"
"Aux."
"Age!"
"18 years old."
"What is your magic..."
"Addition Magic, I can add various attributes to people, such as speed, strength, defense, and so on."
Registration complete!
Mirajane collected the files after confirming she had asked everything necessary.
She smiled and said, "After the Guild Master approves, you will be given a Guild emblem. Welcome to Fairy Tail Guild!"
Aux nodded, "Thank you!"
With registration complete, Aux returned to the main hall.
The previously quiet environment became lively again, with everyone who wasn't working sitting together in small groups.
Aux found a seat, narrowed his eyes, and scanned the Guild members.
Thinking about whom to apply an interesting Addition Magic to first.
"Your name is Aux, right? What kind of magic do you have? Want to fight me?"
The hot-headed Natsu proactively approached.
He grinned, flames burning in his hands, eagerly anticipating a battle against Aux.
Gray observed silently from a distance.
Everyone was still very curious about the newcomer, and at this moment, they also wanted to see the newcomer's strength.
"I don't fight, and I only possess supportive magic."
Aux refused with a smile.
Only barbarians would fight mindlessly; he was a Mage who solved problems with his brain.
Supportive magic?
Upon hearing Aux's words, many people lost interest.
They had thought they would hear about some incredible magic, but it turned out to be just ordinary supportive magic.
Then this newcomer would probably have to struggle for a living in the future and wouldn't make any particularly big name for himself.
Certainly couldn't compare to Natsu, Gray, Erza, and others.
