“Longing is the emotion furthest from understanding,” Mirajane explained. “If you don’t look into Yefrit’s quirky tastes, he’s outwardly a rather outstanding boy, the type many girls would like—”

"Smart, young, handsome, rich, and an aristocrat."

"He has no bad habits, a good temper, a sense of humor, knows how to tease girls, and is good with sweet talk, but he never plays around or deceives girls' feelings."

"Powerful yet humble, not overly pursuing fame and fortune."

"Although he is a bit clumsy in matters of the heart, he is otherwise sensitive to other people's emotions, understands their needs, and knows how to maintain boundaries without being overly concerned."

"Although we have different values, she's not a bad person at heart. She's kind to ordinary people, takes care of children, and is very loving."

“But he likes to play pranks,” Kana said. “That’s what got me out of the game.”

“Yes, in short—” Mirajane said, “Yeflit has never lacked people who admire him.”

Mirajane looked into the distance and said calmly, "The turtledove is nothing special."

"But he's a boy after all, and it's not good to spend every day together."

"Oh, the price of fruit has dropped today."

Before Kana could say anything more, Mirajane ran off to a fruit shop. After happily inquiring about the prices, she began selecting fruit.

"Never mind," Kana sighed. "As long as you're confident, that's fine."

She shook her head and left.

Mirajane then stood up, glanced at Kana's back, and then turned back to continue selecting fruit.

【Kana, even if it were you, I wouldn't tell you.】

A great magician stands on the stage, facing the gazes of everyone: curiosity, surprise, longing, inquiry, shock, admiration, yearning, and fascination. Immature people may be lost in this, but Yefried will not.

But he's not mature yet. There will be a day when he truly grows up, and then he will find that one special look among countless eyes—a look of concern.

That look in his eyes would eventually tug at the magician's heart and pull him off the stage.

Mirajane selected the fruit, paid for it, and carried the bag home with light steps, her expression a relaxed and gentle smile.

“Yes, three jin!” Yefrit’s voice came from ahead, a very loud voice.

Miraja did not quicken his pace, maintaining his normal walking speed.

"Miss Mirajane!" As she got a little closer, Yefrit saw Mirajane walking towards her and quickly ran over, saying casually, "Miss Mirajane, did you buy some fruit?"

“Mm.” Mirajane nodded with a smile.

She looked at the person in front of her—holding a three-pound fish in his hand, his face showing feigned composure, yet barely concealing his smugness and eagerness.

fool

Seeing Yefrit's expression, Mirajane smiled even more, but she didn't speak first.

"Master, wait for us." Emily and Dove caught up from behind, and Dove couldn't help but smile.

Natsu and Gray are nowhere to be seen.

Mirajane thought for a moment and then understood—

It's certain that Yefrit made an excuse and slipped away as soon as she caught the fish.

As for the reason.

Natsu and Gray, especially Happy, will definitely catch a lot of fish.

Therefore, Yefried would never return to town with them; he would definitely make a quick getaway as soon as he had made his fortune.

Natsu and Gray aren't the type to show off when they catch a fish.

Only Yefritte would get lost in town with a fish in her arms, after all, it's not easy to catch one, especially one this big—three pounds!

“Miss Mirajane,” Dove and Emily greeted Mirajane.

"Hello everyone," Mirajane said.

“Hmm—” Yefrit made a soft sound, his eyes fixed on Mirajane, and he slightly raised the hand holding the fish.

Mirajane smiled.

“Um, Miss Mirajane,” Yefrit said, “the fruit you’re carrying is quite heavy, I’d estimate it’s about three pounds.”

"Not."

Mirajane laughed and said, and Yefrit swallowed the words he was about to say—he had originally wanted to wait for the other party to acknowledge it before immediately continuing, "Three pounds, that's about the same weight as this fish. Look, this is the one I caught after going through so much trouble (thousands of words of thrilling description omitted here)."

“Um…” Yefrit thought for a moment and said, “Fruit…it’s pretty good, isn’t it?”

Answer quickly: It's delicious!

That way I can say that my fish is very fresh, and the river fish is also delicious!

"I don't know," Mirajane said with a smile and shook her head. "I just bought it because it was on sale."

"..." Yefrit paused for a few seconds, then said, "A 30% discount?"

“No.” Mirajane shook her head. “50% off.”

Yefried remained silent.

“If there’s nothing else, I’ll head back now, Mr. Yefried,” Mirajane said.

"Wait!" Yefrit immediately grabbed Mirajane's wrist.

"What?" Mirajane looked at him in confusion.

“Oh right, look, where did my cane go?” Yefrit waved the fish in his hand—the fish he held in his right hand, but the cane he always carried was gone.

"It's a shame to lose your cane, but don't be too sad, you can just buy another one," Mirajane said with a smile.

“Mira,” Yefrit’s voice deepened, and he said with displeasure, “malicious.”

Mirajane's smile widened, and she finally said what Yefrit wanted to hear, in an exaggerated voice, "Wow, this fish is huge! It must have been hard to catch, Mr. Yefrit."

“Yes, three jin!” Yefrit instantly became excited, and then pulled Mirajane aside for a long talk.

"..." Emily listened for a while and said, "Was it that dangerous? It sounds more dangerous than the previous battles, as Master described."

“Yes.” Izayoi nodded, not understanding why Yefrit, who had been so calm during battles, would become so excited about catching a fish, as if she had become a different person.

The dove looked at Mirajane—

"Really? That's amazing." Mirajane covered her mouth in "surprise."

“Of course, back then I…” Yefried launched into another long speech.

Chapter 93, Mirajane: If you break the agreement, the Valier name will be erased.

A small house with eerie decorations and dim lighting.

"Does this... really work?" Juvia looked at the uniquely shaped—and rather sinister-looking bottle in her hand, her eyes filled with skepticism.

“Of course.” The mysterious mage sitting across the table smiled confidently and said, “Just a few drops are enough to make the other person look at you with burning passion, but the price is a bit high—6 J.”

"..." Juvia hesitated for a moment.

This shop seems quite reliable, with many magical items that are highly practical, much better than Yefrit's shop—after all, his shop rarely sells magical potions with special effects.

“I’ll buy it!” Juvia said firmly.

Lord Grey, stop looking at Yefried and look at Juvia!

"Ha—" Lucy let out a long sigh, lay on the table, and made a lazy sound, "So boring."

“Then go to work,” Mirajane said with a smile as she wiped the dishes.

“But Yefrit took Naz to go fishing again, and Gray too,” Lucy said.

Neither she nor Juvia were very interested in fishing, and even Iodove had preferred to stay in Yefrit's shop these past few days reading novels and teaching Emily some swordsmanship—Yefrit's swordsmanship was of course inferior to Iodove's, so she left the teaching to Iodove.

“Ever since Yefrit caught a three-pound fish that day, he’s been very excited,” Mirajane said with a hint of helplessness.

“But these past few days, Natsu said he’s had very little catch. He only gets one or two fish a whole day, and they’re not even as big as the palm of his hand,” Lucy said.

“Well,” Mirajane laughed, “Yeflit certainly doesn’t have the talent for that, which is probably why he likes fishing. After all, there are very few things that are a huge challenge for him—fishing is one of them.”

"Ah—" Lucy sighed again.

Mirajane put down the plate, walked over and said, "Then Lucy can just do the requests herself. There are plenty of requests that Lucy can complete by herself."

“But abandoning that guy isn’t a good idea,” Lucy said.

“Oh dear.” Mirajane chuckled, then said meaningfully, “Lucy, are you going to do quests with Natsu for the rest of your life?”

"Huh?" Lucy was taken aback. After a couple of seconds, she realized what Mirajane meant and blushed. She said, "No, Miss Mirajane, don't say such strange things."

"Is that strange?" Mirajane tilted her head slightly. "Could it be that Lucy will change partners in the future?"

"Uh..." Lucy was stunned for a moment, not knowing what to say.

“Switch to Gray?” Mirajane asked.

"No!!!" Juvia suddenly jumped out and shouted.

"..." Lucy was a little speechless, and said, "No, don't worry."

“Is that… Elfman?” Mirajane asked again.

"..." Lucy looked towards the task board, where Elfman and Abba Greene were discussing which task to choose—the two were standing very close, their backs looking quite compatible. She shook her head and said, "No."

"That's Laxus?"

"I wouldn't dare!"

As soon as Mirajane spoke, Lucy immediately chimed in.

“So,” Mirajane laughed, “only Natsu.”

Lucy was stunned.

“Isn’t there one more person?” Juvia looked at Mirajane and said, “Yeflit.”

Mirajane smiled faintly.

“I refuse!” Lucy said immediately.

“Ah,” Mirajane laughed, “Yeflit got rejected.”
