The next morning, Hughes appeared at the guild yawning as usual, not because he was weak, nor because he had been training his right arm the night before.

Yesterday afternoon, he and Mira strolled around Magnolia several times. They currently have over 500 million J in hand and thought they could buy a suitable house in Magnolia.

However, they underestimated the prosperity of Magnolia. To buy a house outright, 500 million J was only enough to buy a dilapidated old second-hand apartment.

In the end, it was Makarov who stepped in and used his connections to help Hughes purchase a three-story detached villa with a yard for a friendly price of 2000 million J.

Hughes didn't have enough money on hand, so he had to borrow Makarov's pension.

The old man was willing to lend the money because he knew that Hughes and the others didn't live in the suburban house because of Laxus.

In order to defeat Hughes, the proud and arrogant Laxus actually put aside his pride and went to Makarov for advice.

He told Makarov about his duel with Hughes, and even about the previous conflict.

Feeling guilty, Makarov personally intervened and contacted the builder. Hughes didn't know what they talked about, only that the villa, which was originally priced at 3000 million J, ended up costing 2000 million J.

At such a cheap price, Hughes naturally bought it and moved in last night. He was busy all night and didn't get a moment's sleep.

As soon as Hughes stepped into the guild, he witnessed the despicable behavior of the grandfather and grandson at the bar, with Makarov gesticulating wildly and instructing Laxus on how to deal with him.

Hughes shook his head. It was certainly a good thing that the grandfather and grandson could reconcile, but they were too shameless to team up against a young man like him.

"Hey! Hughes, why aren't you training? Laxus is really strong!" Marcao, holding a wine glass, walked over and offered Hughes a drink as well.

Hughes took the drink and downed it in one gulp. It was the first time he had ever drunk alcohol, and it tasted pretty good.

"Macao, only the weak need to cram at the last minute. Someone like me, Laxus could beat me with one hand!"

Hughes, deliberately speaking loudly so Laxus could hear, handed his empty glass to Macao: "Buy me another one, I'm broke!"

Hughes's shamelessness shocked Macao: "Come on, don't be shy, drink as much as you want today!"

For the sake of his grand plan, Marcao simply brought over a huge wine barrel.

"Yes, Hughes, I'll treat you to a bucket too!" Wakaba quickly brought over a bucket as well.

"Something's not right, there's something very wrong with you two!" Hughes looked at them suspiciously a few times; these two weren't exactly generous people!

"Hey, we're all brothers, what's the big deal about buying a few drinks? Macaoo and I are always treating each other!"

"Yeah! Drink up, I'll treat you if you're still hungry!" Macao said with a smile, then pulled Wakaba to another place to chat.

Hughes let out a burp and, under the furtive gazes of Marcao and Wakaba, picked up the barrel of wine in his hand and drank it down in a frenzy.

Hughes knew without a doubt that these two were betting on his duel with Laxus tomorrow. Judging from how they wanted to get him drunk, there were quite a few people betting on him to win!

Thinking of this, Hughes's lips curled into a grin...

"Macao, I'd like some snacks to go with my drinks!"

"Okay, it's on me!"

"Wakaba, I want some meat!"

"No problem, I've brought it to you!"

Laxus, who was learning lightning sealing magic from Makarov at the bar, became increasingly annoyed when he saw Hughes's indulgent behavior. How much did Hughes look down on him?

"Calm down, Laxus. A restless mind can't learn magic! Ignore Hughes, we'll teach him a lesson tomorrow!"

Laxus adjusted his mindset and continued learning.

Hughes, already quite drunk, stood up and headed towards the guild's back door, remembering that he had important business to attend to at the guild.

Lisanna, that precocious brat, went out fooling around with Natsu early this morning. In order to prevent her from becoming an aunt at such a young age, Mira is going to lock Lisanna up for a few days as punishment.

Hughes, who enjoys watching the fun... no, he's more like a helpful person, immediately asked Mira to give him a chance. He personally escorted Lisanna home!

Childhood sweethearts, and what gets broken up is the childhood sweethearts!

He's grown up and never had a girlfriend, so why should two little brats have one?

"Hughes, where are you going?"

"Hiccup, let's go do something evil!"

Oh no! Marcao and Wakaba exchanged a glance. If Hughes went on a drunken rampage and did something bad, the two culprits would definitely be skinned alive by Makarov.

The two leaped up, each grabbing one of Hughes's legs: "Hughes, Hughes, we're a legitimate guild! We can't do anything against the rules, or we'll be wanted by the Magic Council!"

"Yeah, Hughes, even the president can't protect you!"

A dazed Hughes dragged the two along, saying, "What are you talking about? I'm just going to capture Lisanna and bring her back; Mira said she's going to teach Lisanna a lesson this time, didn't you say Lisanna went to the lake behind the guild to fish for Harpy to eat?"

...Is this an evil thing?

It seems like he's quite wicked towards Lisanna!

"Wait, we want to go too!" The guild members who loved watching the excitement responded one after another, clearly indicating that there were quite a few people who wanted to have some fun.

.......

Behind the Fairy Tail guild is a huge lake; at this moment, four children, a cat, and a dozing Yonko are fishing.

"Gray, are you turning on the air conditioning? I feel chilly!"

Gray, too lazy to explain, said, "You stupid dragon, keep your voice down, you'll scare the fish away!"

"Ai!"

"Oh, but Lisanna's got goosebumps too!" Natsu pointed to Lisanna's arm for Gray to see!

Gray quickly protested, "Ah! Are you two sick? I didn't use any magic!"

The armored girl stared intently at the lake, undisturbed by the others; she was determined to catch a fish this time.

One of the Four Emperors: Snoring~ Snoring~

The Gildas model in Magnolia has begun to be built, and Gildas has been used as a test machine for some time.

When Hughes found Lisanna, the forest fire and ice people were confronting and blaming each other, while the remaining few were staring at the lake in worry.

Hughes peered into their buckets...

Wow, every single one is empty. Are these air force guys teaming up to feed the fish?

"Are you feeding the fish, or fishing for life?" Hughes asked curiously.

"Hughes, help me! Happy wants to eat the fish in the lake, but we haven't caught a single one! Gildas can't catch any either!"

......

"What? Even Gildas can't handle the fish in this lake?"

"What? Gildas got bullied by a fish?"

"Let me see what's going on!"

The lakeside quickly filled with people, and no one knew where they had pulled out their fishing rods.

Hughes, who was supposed to capture Lisanna and take her back, also joined in.

Seated in Lisanna's spot, Hughes hooked an earthworm onto his fishing hook and arrogantly looked at everyone: "Today, I'll show you my skills. Whoever wins will be the guild's Fishing King!"

"I'm fired up..."

"Wait, what are we here for?" someone asked, puzzled.

"Fishing! Didn't we come here to fish?"

"Ah, yes, yes, yes!"

Meanwhile, Mira the monster, who had been waiting at home for ages without anyone showing up, roared and rushed over!
