The Black-Winged Demon of Fairy Tail

**Magnolia Town – Fairy Tail Guild**

Standing before the gates of the Fairy Tail Guild, Yushi couldn't help but smile warmly.

Fairy Tail wasn't just a guild to him—it was his home, and the members were his family.

"Wow... it's so big!"

Lucy stood beside Yushi, staring in awe at the massive structure that housed the Fairy Tail Guild.

After last night's incident with the human traffickers, Yushi had brought Lucy to Magnolia, offering to introduce her to the guild she had always dreamed of joining.

Lucy, ecstatic at the opportunity, had agreed immediately.

"Welcome to Fairy Tail."

Inside the guild, the lively atmosphere was in full swing.

"Mira!! Three beers over here!!"

"Got it!" Mira replied with a cheerful smile.

At 19 years old, Mira was breathtakingly beautiful, with her flawless face, perfect figure, and a striking red dress. Though she was once an S-class mage, she had stepped back from the battlefield and now worked behind the scenes at the guild.

Whether she was helping assign tasks or serving drinks, Mira had become a vital part of Fairy Tail's daily operations.

"Mira!" Wakaba waved from across the room.

"Coming, coming. What's up?"

Wakaba took a puff of his cigarette, blowing out heart-shaped smoke rings. "How about a date with me next time?"

"Ugh, so shameless," someone teased.

"Disgusting..." Mira swatted away the smoke rings, smirking playfully. With a snap of her fingers, she used transformation magic to morph into a stout, middle-aged woman. "Don't you already have a wife?"

"Ahhh! Don't turn into my wife!!" Wakaba cried out, panic in his eyes.

The entire guild erupted into laughter.

Suddenly, the doors of the guild burst open with a bang.

"I'm back!!"

It was Natsu, stomping in with his usual fiery attitude.

"Back!" Happy chirped, hovering beside him.

Yushi stepped through the door with a calm smile and raised his hand. "I'm back."

"Yushi! Natsu! Happy! Welcome back!"

Cheers erupted around the guild, and Mira's bright smile lit up the room.

"Yushi, it's been three months since you've been here!"

"Yeah, it's been a while! Welcome back!"

The room buzzed with excitement, but Natsu's attention was fixed on a certain buck-toothed guild member.

"You idiot!! That Fire Dragon rumor was fake!!"

The poor guy screamed as Natsu chased him across the guild, sending chairs and tables flying.

"It's a fight! It's a fight!" someone shouted.

Before long, the entire guild erupted into a brawl, members hurling themselves into the chaos.

Lucy, standing at the entrance, was completely shell-shocked. "What… what is this place?!"

Yushi, however, ignored the mayhem entirely. This sort of chaos was just another day in Fairy Tail.

He approached Mira at the bar.

"Long time no see, Mira," Yushi greeted warmly. "You've gotten even more beautiful."

Mira laughed. "We haven't seen you in months, and you've turned into such a sweet-talker?"

"It's not flattery. Just the truth," Yushi replied with a grin.

"Yeah, sure. Who's the girl you brought back?" Mira asked, motioning toward Lucy, who stood awkwardly near the crowd, unsure of where to go.

"Her name is Lucy…"

Yushi quickly explained everything that had happened in Hargeon, including how they met Lucy and the incident with the traffickers.

Suddenly, the guild master's voice boomed over the commotion.

"Stop it, you fools!"

A colossal figure appeared at the entrance, towering over everyone.

The entire guild immediately froze, the fighting coming to an abrupt halt.

"So big!!" Lucy gasped in shock at the sight of the massive figure.

The guild members turned to greet the towering man.

"Master! You're back!" Mira called out cheerfully.

Lucy blinked. "Master?!"

This enormous figure was the guild master of Fairy Tail?

To her astonishment, the massive figure began to shrink rapidly. In mere seconds, the intimidating giant transformed into a tiny old man, barely a meter tall.

"Please take care of me!" the guild master said with a cheerful grin.

Lucy's jaw dropped. "So small!!"
