Fairy Tail: I'm Not the Most Terrifying Mage

The dove led Yefrit to a slightly secluded, old-fashioned inn.

The price was reasonable, so Yevlit decided to stay there.

"Um..." After much hesitation, the dove finally spoke.

“If there’s anything I can help with, please let me know,” Yefrit said.

People who do good deeds always have an ulterior motive.

Unless the other person is truly a kind and good person.

He believes there are kind people who are willing to help others, but he is often wary of strangers, especially if the other party is a mage whose background he doesn't know.

It happened to be inside the hotel.

The turtledove immediately performed a deep dogeza (a type of prostration), kneeling deeply on the floor as it made a sincere request.

She said, "I saw you at the restaurant before and I know you have a camera. I'd like to pay you to come to my house and take a family photo of me and my younger siblings. Please!"

Yefried was taken aback; he truly hadn't expected such a request.

It was so outrageous that he didn't even realize it was a trap.

Using such a reason to set a trap is probably the act of a fool.

He asked with a puzzled look, "Judging from your appearance, you're not short of money, are you? You can buy a camera or take pictures in the city."

Chapter 12, Cheese!

The turtledove answered sincerely.

"I don't actually have much money. I won't lie to you. I'm a dark mage who works for a dark guild, but I've never carried out those kinds of missions. I only do ordinary missions, so I don't earn much money."

“My family lives in Dongzhen. I have many younger brothers and sisters to support, and one of my sisters is seriously ill. All the money I earn is spent on their food, clothing, and daily necessities, as well as my sister’s medical expenses.”

"As for the clothes and cosmetics I'm wearing, they were all given to me by my master. She said that I represent the face of the Wuyue School."

"A camera... I can't afford it."

"The people in West Town look down on those from East Town, even if they are just children. If you try to bring them all over for a photo shoot, the soldiers will drive them away, thinking that they are disgracing West Town and affecting West Town's business."

"Photographers in the west town are also unwilling to go to the east town, for fear of contracting diseases."

"My sister is in poor health and cannot travel."

“So,” the turtledove said earnestly, “please come to my house tomorrow morning and take a family photo. If you think the money isn’t enough, I can use a favor as a condition: I’ll protect you once when you need it.”

"Don't let my appearance fool you, I'm actually the ace of my guild!"

"."

The dove's reasoning convinced Yefrit; after all, it was just a matter of making a trip.

As for what if it's a trap?

He wasn't actually that scared.

Is he the ace of the Dark Guild?

Although his magic is weak, when facing a powerful enemy, even if he can't win, it's not difficult for him to escape.

Besides that violent woman with the big onion head

Yefrit said, "Okay, I agree. But could it be closer to noon? I expect to get up very late."

“Of course, no problem! Thank you so much, kind Mr. Yefried!” Dove’s voice was full of excitement and gratitude.

“Then you should go back now, I won’t keep you any longer,” Yefrit said.

"Yes." The turtledove departed.

Yevlit was very self-aware.

When he woke up, it was indeed close to noon.

The turtledove was already waiting at the door.

After he finished washing up, he didn't want to keep them waiting any longer.

So he took his breakfast and planned to eat it while walking.

“Mr. Yefried, please finish your meal before you come with me.”

"It's okay, as long as you don't mind the taste of my steamed buns."

"of course not!"

The two walked side by side.

Yefried noticed that the dove was as tall as her today, and she had changed into a pair of old flat shoes.

The bunny ears I styled with my hair last night have been let down today, and my hairstyle has become like that of a Yamato Nadeshiko.

Yefried didn't say much and ate her breakfast.

Dongzhen was very dilapidated.

This place harbors filth in every sense of the word.

The dove looked at Yefrit with concern, only to find that after finishing the last bite of his bun, Yefrit took out a snow-white handkerchief, wiped his beak first, then his hands, and his expression remained normal.

It's winding and circuitous.

We arrived at the turtledove's home.

There are many children here.

"Bring Emily out quickly." Ryder saw that people had arrived and hurriedly directed the children to go inside and get busy.

"Good morning, Brother Yefrit!" Ryder greeted cheerfully.

“Good morning, Ryder.” Yevlit smiled and nodded.

"Go and stand in line quickly, don't waste Mr. Yefried's time," said the dove.

The children are arranged by height.

Yefried counted them; there were forty-three people.

No.

Forty-eight people.

A girl, pale and bloodless, thin as a monkey, wearing a hospital gown that looked as if the clothes had been thrown on a stool, had an IV tube inserted into the back of her hand.

She sat in a wooden wheelchair, pushed by two children, with two other children following closely behind, one holding an IV pole and the other an IV bag.

This is Emily.

Emily was placed in the very center. Apart from her sitting, all the children were already standing, with Turtledove standing at the very back.

“We are ready, Mr. Yefried,” said the dove.

"Okay, remember to smile," Yefrit said with a gentle smile.

“Okay—” the turtledove and the children answered in unison.

Yefried took out her camera and held up her finger.

"three."

"two."

"one."

The turtledove and the children shouted at the same time, "Cheese!"

‘Kacha’

The image freezes on the dove, the children, and Emily's most radiant smile!

"The same camera used by the famous journalist Edward Elliott"

On the carriage.

Yeffert flipped through the magazine.

This camera looks pretty good; at least its appearance is acceptable.

Turn to the next page.

"Super cool cameras are on sale now, at rock-bottom prices!"

This looks so cool!

"The Azure Pegasus Grand Magus, endorsed by Mr. One Night, the most..."

Forget about overnight endorsements.

Yefried turned to the next page.

He was picking out a new camera; the old one he gave to Ryder when he left Ahanitta.

He was in a tangle.

The new cameras are all very stylish, trendy, and cool.

Which one is it?

Yefried does not admit that she has decision-making difficulties.

Until we enter the next town.

He has made his choice.

There's a reason why things are expensive!

First, go to the bank to withdraw money, then head straight to the store.

"I want this!"

He can't wait.

Upon receiving the new camera, he pressed the button forcefully.

'Kucha'
