Compared to the two fairies, Natsu is truly slaying a dragon!

Bloodshot veins were already visible in his eyes.

[I dare not watch anymore, I absolutely dare not watch anymore. If I keep watching, Makarov is afraid he'll have a heart attack from anger.]

The sound of Henaz eating could still be heard from ahead, reaching Makarov's ears.

It's like eating gold!

[No joke, this guy is really eating gold!!]

"Excuse me, sir, are you alright?"

The pretty waitress seemed to notice something was wrong with Makarov and asked him with some concern.

"Judging from your appearance, are you experiencing low blood sugar? How about ordering one of our signature desserts to replenish your sugar levels?"

Makarov rubbed his forehead and waved to the pretty waitress.

"I don't need it... You're not replenishing my sugar, you're replenishing my blood pressure..."

【…】

Finally... under Makarov's critical gaze, Black Natsu had almost finished eating.

Makarov's fist, which had been clenched so tightly it was dripping with sweat, relaxed at this moment.

Finally...it's over...

"Give me one more, no, ten desserts, please."

[Honatsu's voice rang out again.]

[Makarov, who was about to settle the account, suddenly faltered and almost fell to the ground.]

The bill came out quickly.

[The moment Makarov saw the numbers above!]

[I felt my heart race, my blood pressure spike, and the world seem to spin in an instant.]

[Holy crap!!! Over 1.7 million J?!]

Makarov staggered, grabbing the bar for support, his bloodshot eyes fixed on the cashier.

"Can you give me a discount?!"

[When a Wizard of the Tenth Rank gets angry, their aura is truly formidable.]

After much difficult negotiation with the shop owner, they quickly provided a fruit platter as a gift...

[...outside the restaurant.]

Makarov wandered the streets as if he had completely lost his mind.

The money I had planned for a two-month vacation has all been spent on this one meal.

[Even Makarov had to give up a magic ring just to make ends meet.]

Otherwise, Makarov would be washing dishes in someone else's kitchen right now.

Outside the restaurant, Makarov looked back again at the sign he hadn't understood before.

In that instant, it was as if he had suddenly realized something.

So... that's what the sign meant?

So... that's how it is? I knew it! This signboard is really well-chosen, really very well-chosen...

Makarov muttered in a frenzied manner.

In stark contrast to him was Henna, standing to the side.

Honez seems to be in good spirits right now.

[The kind of person who walks with a swagger.]

Makarov forced a smile, his heart bleeding, but he forced himself to act as if nothing was wrong and asked Henna.

"Now we can talk, right?"

"How about it? Want to join Fairy Tail?"

This time, Henna stopped, turned around, and his gaze became serious.

"I only have one question: what can the guild offer me?"

Makarov frowned slightly, and his entire demeanor seemed to change.

His gaze was fixed unabashedly on Black Natsu.

"The meaning of the guild is something you need to experience for yourself, whether it's happiness, joy, or sadness..."

"That's something I can't guarantee you, but what can I offer you?"

"First, you need a job and money. You can't rely on the City Lord's Mansion's occasional missions forever. Those missions, with rewards of two million J, are already the limit."

"Joining a guild is different; you'll have access to more quests and more rewards. I believe that living off your savings isn't your style."

"Secondly, a challenge! As a mage, you are already very strong, but precisely because you are strong, someone like you shouldn't be content to stagnate, right?"

"Participating in various challenging tasks allows you to grow significantly, broaden your horizons, and challenge the impossible, thereby breaking through your own limitations and reaching a higher level."

"Third: Companions! You, who tend to be a loner, may not understand this meaning yet, but believe me, it's something worth experiencing."

"Finally: Perhaps for me, and perhaps for many guild members, it's an adventure. The world is vast, so vast that many people spend their entire lives without ever reaching it. Don't you want to set foot in it?"

"The world holds many unknowns and countless wonders, all waiting to be explored by you energetic young people."

"This is adventure. Beyond the adventure, there's a home to return to, a sense of belonging, and a group of friends and family waiting for your return. Isn't that enough?"

Makarov's words silenced Henaz.

After a long pause, a slight smile appeared on his lips.

"Grandpa, you've convinced me!"

"Besides, you seem like a nice person, so I'll go with you to take a look." (Beggar)

Chapter 101 Old Ma, you're truly shameless!

The answer is already quite obvious now that the video has played this far.

On the world channel, countless people were also sighing and lamenting.

Blue Pegasus, Bob: "Sigh, I never expected it, I never expected that old horse would be so humble as to beg a little brat, sigh!"

Four Hounds, Goldman: "Who says otherwise? This time, even Old Ma himself misjudged himself."

Hades: "Something's not right! Why isn't it happening the other way around this time?"

"Could this be targeting me?"

Brian: "Hades! I finally trusted you this once, and... you let me lose so completely?!"

Hades: "How can you blame me? Who can guarantee they'll get it right with a question that's purely based on guesswork?"

Eileen: "This time, even we've become mere bystanders."

"By the way, it seems like no one chose B this time?"

Maldogil: "Anyway, we chose D because of Jelf."

Doranbart: "I just don't understand, why would someone go to Fairy Tail when the Magic Council is such a great place?"

"What's so good about that lousy place?"

Makarov: "???"

"Doranbart, watch your words!"

Gerald: "So, this time, no one made the right choice, right?"

Ultear: "After all, who would have thought that a Saint-level 10 mage would be begging someone to join their guild?"

Melty: "In other words, we all underestimated Makarov's shamelessness."

Makarov: "What are you saying? What are you saying!"

"Think about it yourselves. If you saw what I saw in the sky, wouldn't you do the same thing?"

"Hmph! A bunch of sour grapes."

No one paid any attention to Makarov's rebuttal.

After all, everyone guessed wrong this time, so there's nothing more to say. Let's settle the accounts quickly and continue playing.

Soon, under everyone's gaze.

The notification sound from the sky screen also rang out.

[Ding! The correct answer to this quiz is B.]

Makarov approached Henna and begged him to join Fairy Tail.

[Congratulations to Fairy Tail for winning this round of the quiz!]

[Rewards will be distributed soon...]
