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

Melty: "This guy... isn't he a bit too direct?"

"Aren't you afraid the area below will completely collapse?"

Ultear: "This way of doing things... I can only say, as expected of Fairy Tail."

"To complete the mission, are you willing to destroy anything, no matter how much?"

Brian: "I can relate. These guys are all about destruction. They ruined such a huge Nirvana project back then. They're unbelievable."

Makarov: "Slander! This is blatant slander!"

"We just found the quickest way, and we're very sensible in our actions, okay?"

Yajima: "Sense of propriety?? You guys?? Fairy Tail??"

Makarov: "Of course. You see, in all these years, has there ever been a report of Fairy Tail accidentally injuring anyone?"

Hades: "I have to say something about that. From this point of view, it is indeed very measured."

Mavis: "I agree!"

Lahar: "Of course you Fairy Tail people agree."

"But why is it that when other guilds are doing quests, no one hears about the damage or anything, but you guys do this?"

Doronbart: "Or is it that all the people in this guild are thinking about is destruction?"

Makarov: "Doranbart?"

Doranbart: "Why did you call me?"

Makarov: "It's nothing. I hope you can say these things to my face next time we meet."

Doranbart: "Threatening me?? Even if you're one of the Ten Saints, I won't yield to you. My spine is still hard!"

Inside the Fairy Tail guild.

Looking at the speech displayed on the sky.

Makarov was furious and pulled out his notebook.

Above it was written Doronbart's name.

Furthermore, there are several numbers following this.

Makarov added another entry to the figure.

He muttered and cursed:

"That brat has openly insulted our guild countless times. We'll definitely teach him a lesson next time we see him!"

……

[Black Shark Vortex, Underground Guild.]

This guild is indeed quite capable; at least, their ability to construct a massive underground space with a diameter of approximately one kilometer is truly impressive.

At this moment, more than fifty people have gathered in this space.

One by one, they raised their glasses, clinking them together.

Loud laughter and mocking remarks rose and fell.

"Haha, boss, the people we kidnapped last time were pretty good quality. We made a killing."

"When are we going to pull off another heist?"

Someone in the crowd spoke up to ask a question.

The guild leader and boss of the Black Shark Vortex Guild is named Bruce.

[He had previously committed several kidnappings and was wanted by the Magic Council.]

[I never imagined they would be hiding in the desert on the border of the Kingdom of Fiore.]

[They even started a guild.]

[They upgraded their business once again, turning it into human trafficking.]

Even in this era, with the Magic Council in place, human trafficking remains a persistent problem.

Furthermore, the profits are very high, so many shady guilds are willing to take the risk.

The Black Shark Vortex is one of the most representative examples.

Bruce, who had been asked the question, chuckled and patted the person who had just asked it on the head.

"You rascal, you've already spent all the money we were allotted to you?"

He shook his head.

"We just finished trading that batch of slaves a few days ago, so it's best to keep a low profile for now."

"However, don't let those lost souls who wandered into the desert escape. Catch them one by one, and gather them up for now."

"Once things calm down, we'll go to town and pull off a big heist."

Upon hearing this, everyone present seemed to see the gleaming money flashing before their eyes.

Filled with hopeful dreams, the group raised their glasses once more, as if celebrating a bright future.

But reality will not give them any more chances.

A deafening roar exploded overhead!

The entire underground guild trembled violently at that moment.

Countless grains of sand and gravel fell from above.

Dust instantly filled the entire underground guild space.

Bruce shook his head, brushing off all the dust, then stood up angrily.

His gaze was fixed on the ceiling, which now had a large hole in it.

They could even see the azure sky through that enormous opening.

[“Who is it?!”]

Bruce roared angrily!

The next moment, a figure leaped down through the gaping hole.

It landed in this space filled with dust.

【"Child?!!!"】

Despite the sandstorm, the members of Black Shark Vortex could still roughly determine a person's size based on their physique.

That was definitely a child; a youthful face and a not-too-tall build.

[And then there was that cherry blossom-colored hair.]

"Who is this kid?"

"Was he the one who caused the explosion?"

"Just one person? Are you looking for death?"

"Hey, you bastard, who are you?!"

The moment they realized there was only one person ahead, countless roars erupted from the crowd.

Henna slowly straightened up from the ground.

He glanced around.

[His brow furrowed slightly: "What about those who went missing?"]

Bruce stepped forward and took his place at the very front.

[His gaze haughtily looked down upon Black Natsu.]

"A mage? They've come for the missing people?"

"So, it's a legitimate guild that's attacking us?"

"You can understand it that way, but 'extermination' isn't quite the right word..." Hennaz gently shook his head.

"It would be better to eliminate them."

【"wipe out?!"】

Bruce paused, his gaze sweeping over Black Natsu.

[At about 1.5 meters tall, he looks like a little kid who's not even fifteen years old.]

[How dare they try to destroy me right in front of me?!]

"Hahahaha!!!"

The Black Shark Vortex members, realizing what was happening, burst into laughter.

"Are you kidding me?"

"This tiny little thing dares to say it's coming to wipe us out?"

[“Are you drunk from drinking milk? Talking nonsense here? Didn’t your mother call you home for dinner? Hahahaha.”]
