Qi Yan looked in the direction of the sound and saw a familiar figure emerging from under a girl's pants.
With cherry-blossom colored hair and a dragon-scaled scarf, it was Natsu, accompanied by a small blue cat, Happy.
Natsu, upon seeing that the person was not Igneel as he had expected, immediately became so awkward that he started sweating: "Who are you?"
"I say, Fire Dragon, you should know, right?"
The man struck a pose he thought was cool, but before he could finish speaking, Natsu and Happy had already squeezed out of the crowd and walked away dejectedly.
"They left so fast."
Seeing their idol being ignored, many girls immediately rushed over, grabbed Natsu's scarf, and dragged him back.
"Why are you two so rude?"
"Exactly!! Lord Fire Dragon is a very powerful Mage."
"Apologize to him."
Natsu was somewhat bewildered at this point: "What are you doing?"
The man waved his hand and said magnanimously: "It's alright, it's alright, looking at him, he doesn't seem to have any ill intent."
"Ah~~~! So gentle!!"
All the girls' eyes turned into hearts.
The man took out an autograph board, wrote the two big characters 'Fire Dragon', and handed it to Natsu: "This is my autograph, take it and show off to your friends."
"Ah~~~! How enviable!"
"I don't want it."
As soon as Natsu finished speaking, he was picked up and thrown out by the girls protecting their idol.
"What do you mean!!"
"Get lost!!"
The man snapped his fingers, and a ball of red flame rose from his feet, carrying him into the air.
"Thank you all for your warm welcome, but I have something to do at the port ahead, so I'll take my leave now. Tonight, I'll be holding a party on the ship, so everyone please come and join!" After saying that, he waved his hand and quickly flew away on the flames.
"Yeah!!!"
"We'll definitely be there!!"
This magical scene made many girls cheer with excitement.
"What's that guy up to?"
Natsu was a bit confused at this moment.
Just then, Qi Yan's voice rang out: "Natsu, Happy."
"That voice!"
Natsu and Happy froze, then quickly looked in the direction of the voice, seeing Qi Yan standing not far away, smiling at them.
"Qi Yan!!"
Seeing Qi Yan, Natsu and Happy were both delighted. In half a year, Qi Yan, Natsu, Happy, and everyone in the Fairy Tail Guild had become very familiar. Since Qi Yan moved into his new home, the two of them would occasionally go to play with Qi Yan, making them very close friends.
"Qi Yan, you're back!"
Happy happily ran over.
"Yes, I'm back."
Natsu immediately scurried over and hugged Qi Yan's leg: "Qi Yan! Save me! Please buy me food quickly! I'm starving to death!"
"You guy, you've been causing trouble everywhere again, haven't you?"
Seeing Natsu like this, Qi Yan guessed that he had probably caused trouble and lost money during a quest. Otherwise, with Natsu's ability, a 200,000 J quest would be very easy for him.
"Aye~! This time we lost money again."
Happy gave a definite answer.
Qi Yan shook his head helplessly: "Let's go, I'm hungry too. I know a restaurant ahead that's affordable and tastes good."
"Yay!!"
Natsu and Happy both jumped up happily.
Suddenly!
A voice sounded behind them.
"If it's alright, I'll treat you to this meal."
Hearing this, the three of them paused, turned around, and saw a very cute girl standing behind them.
The girl had brilliant golden hair, with a strand tied up with a blue bow, looking playful and adorable.
She wore a white top with blue trim and short sleeves, and a blue pleated skirt. Her skin was very fair, and she was very cute, especially her impressive figure, which was simply a beautiful sight.
Qi Yan couldn't help but be stunned when he saw her. Although there were some differences between the real person and the anime, Qi Yan recognized her at a glance: she was the female protagonist of the Fairy Tail anime, Lucy Heartfilia.
"Thank you all just now!"
Lucy raised her hand and smiled in greeting.
"Huh?"
Natsu and Happy were a bit confused. Lucy's words were directed at them, but they couldn't remember doing anything that deserved thanks.
Lucy explained: "That man named Fire Dragon used a magic called 'Charm'. This magic seduces people and was banned from sale many years ago. Using such magic to lure girls is truly vulgar. Thanks to you breaking through, the magic I was under was dispelled, so please allow me to treat you to a meal to express my gratitude."
Natsu and Happy looked at each other.
"I see, but it's not necessary, Qi Yan will be treating us."
Natsu chuckled and patted Qi Yan's shoulder.
"Aye! Qi Yan will treat us."
Natsu and Happy knew that Qi Yan was practically the biggest spendthrift in the Fairy Tail Guild. One of his quests earned him more than they made in a year. This time, Qi Yan went out for an S-Class Mission, and judging by his appearance, he must have completed it successfully. It was a good opportunity to make him pay for a meal.
Qi Yan rolled his eyes helplessly: "Haven't you two mooched enough?"
Qi Yan didn't mind treating them to a meal. Occasionally, he would also invite guild members he was close with to his home for meals and gatherings.
"Still, let me do it! If I don't express my gratitude properly, I'll feel bad."
Hearing Lucy's words, the three of them no longer refused, and they all went to the restaurant together.
"My name is Lucy, what are your names?"
"Qi Yan."
"Natsu."
"Happy."
"Qi Yan, Natsu, Happy, huh? Oh, by the way, don't let my appearance fool you, I'm also a Mage, but I haven't joined any guild yet."
"Ah, a guild is an organization that gathers many Mages, acting as an intermediary to provide Mages with quests and information. If a Mage doesn't work within a guild, they can't be considered fully capable."
"But! But! There are many guilds in the world, but for famous guilds, the conditions for joining are quite strict."
"In the guild I most want to join, there are so many powerful Mages!"
"Ah... what should I do!! I really want to join there, but the conditions must be very strict."
"Ah! I'm sorry, I talked a bit about the Mage world, you probably don't quite understand."
"But I must join that guild; it seems I can get many substantial quests there."
Qi Yan, Natsu, and Happy looked at Lucy with bewildered expressions and retorted: "You talk a lot!!"
Ever since they first met Lucy, her mouth had been chattering non-stop. It was their first meeting, and she was already so talkative.
