Fairy Tail Destiny-Chapter 108: Ch : Weekly Magazine Visit

In the chaotic and dark space, only two ethereal white orbs of light floated quietly.

Countless nearly transparent white threads connected the two orbs, gently pulling them closer together.

"Another me, what are you thinking about right now?" A cold and indifferent voice came from one of the orbs.

"...I'm thinking about many things. For example, the road ahead is still long, yet I don't know how to walk it." A warm yet slightly hoarse voice responded from the other orb.

"How rare. You actually feel lost."

"No matter how wise or resolute one may be, as long as they are human, they will feel lost."

"Human thoughts are truly complex."

"You're wrong. What's complex isn't humans... it's human nature."

"Human nature, huh?... Then why can humans also be so firm and unwavering?"

"...That's because humans can become brave and strong for the sake of those who are important to them."

"Humans are truly contradictory beings."

The dark space fell into silence once more.

......

A week after the Harvest Festival ended, Magnolia finally returned to its usual calm.

As expected, the news of Laxus being expelled from the guild caused a massive upheaval.

The departure of one of the Three Great Pillars, the Thunder God, had a significant impact on everyone, especially Natsu.

Since yesterday, he had been relentlessly pestering Makarov, arguing that he hadn't defeated Laxus yet, so letting him leave like this was unacceptable.

In the end, it was just his unwillingness to accept it.

Meanwhile, Makarov, feeling a deep sense of responsibility for Laxus's actions, became so overwhelmed with guilt that, in a moment of rashness, he even considered resigning as guild master.

He packed a large bag and prepared to leave Fairy Tail.

Fortunately, after much persuasion from the guild members and some words from Freed, Makarov finally calmed down and decided to stay, while Natsu eventually gave up.

After that, Erza continuously questioned people about Mystogan.

However, since Mystogan had always been reclusive, and even Makarov knew little about him, her investigation led nowhere.

The only person in the guild who could truly be called Mystogan's friend was Noel, but with Noel having lost his memories, Erza's search naturally ended in vain.

"The winner is Erza!"

"As expected! And Lucy took second place."

"Third place is Juvia! Congratulations."

Early in the morning, a group of people gathered noisily in front of the mission board where the results of the "Miss Fairy Contest" were announced.

As expected, the gothic lolita-styled Erza easily secured first place without any doubt.

The other girls each had their own rankings, while Mira... well, it was better not to mention hers.

That ranking was just too...

"Ahhh, I still haven't earned enough for rent!" Lucy clutched her head in frustration.

"Then go to work," Natsu responded casually from the side.

"Easier said than done... What should I do?" Lucy slumped weakly onto the table.

At that moment, Cana, who had been drinking, lazily leaned over and muttered absentmindedly, "Ah, I really want a boyfriend..."

Hearing Cana's words, Lucy lifted her head in confusion and asked, "What's up? Why are you suddenly saying that?"

"Men... I just haven't had a boyfriend for a while, and I kind of miss that warmth..." Cana said nonchalantly.

"Eh~" Hearing Cana's blunt words, Lucy's face suddenly turned red for some reason.

"Why are you blushing?" Cana asked, looking at Lucy's flushed face with amusement.

Lucy hurriedly turned her head away, her gaze drifting as she stammered, "I-I'm not blushing...!"

Such a clumsy attempt at denial naturally didn't escape Cana's keen eyes.

She narrowed her eyes playfully and teased, "So, how many guys have you dated so far?"

"T-Three... I think..."

"Liar. So, do you want a boyfriend or not?"

"Well... I guess I kind of do..." Lucy's eyes unconsciously drifted toward a nearby table, where Natsu was excitedly talking about the taste of fire, while Noel sat with his chin resting on his hands, listening with a gentle smile.

Seeing this, Lucy sighed softly. "To be honest, I don't really understand it."

"You're so cute." Cana grinned, then suddenly turned around and loudly announced to the entire guild, "Everyone, listen up! Lucy has never had a boyfriend~~!"

Her words immediately sparked a wave of good-natured laughter throughout the guild, while Lucy's face turned an even deeper shade of red.

Then, Cana unexpectedly turned back to Lucy with a serious expression and said, "Don't worry, my cards are telling me... today is the day you'll meet your destined one."

"Destined one?" Lucy was slightly surprised, then instinctively glanced at Noel before quickly shaking her head and patting her cheeks to clear her thoughts.

Suddenly, Erza, dressed in an elegant gown, rushed past them.

Lucy, startled, called out, "Erza, what's going on? And why are you wearing a dress?"

Hearing Lucy's question, Erza turned her head and replied, "Next is makeup. I can't let things stay like this."

Leaving behind this cryptic remark, she dashed away, leaving Lucy utterly confused.

Then, Gajeel, wearing a suit and strumming a guitar, also passed by.

A few veins popped on Lucy's forehead as she muttered, "This is so weird... The Harvest Festival is already over."

"You didn't know?" Mira, carrying a tray of drinks, overheard Lucy's comment and smiled sweetly as she explained, "The reporters from Sorcerer Weekly are coming to interview our guild today."

"Eh!!" Lucy exclaimed in shock. "Sorcerer Weekly?!"

Just then, Noel walked over and asked curiously, "Sorcerer Weekly? What's that?"

Mira giggled and sighed, "Noel, you forgot? Sorcerer Weekly is a magic magazine published every Wednesday that introduces new spells and features famous guilds. You were interviewed twice—once when you became an S-Class Wizard and another when you were named one of the Ten Wizard Saints. Not to mention, you've been on the cover six times in total! You're actually the male wizard with the most cover appearances in the magazine's history."

As she explained, she casually revealed all of Noel's glorious achievements, much to his surprise.

"Interview? Special feature? Reporters? A destined encounter... How could this be...?"

Lucy muttered to herself as her imagination spiraled out of control.

"The reporter arrives, completely mesmerized by my cuteness, unable to resist! Miss Lucy, we absolutely must feature your adorable face in an illustration! I finally make it into an illustration! And this reporter... turns out to be my destined one?! Miss Lucy, I wish to interview you for the rest of my life! And if I can get paid for the interview... maybe I can finally pay my rent! How many birds is this with one stone?! Could it really be...? Hehehe. I can do this. I can do this!"

As she indulged in her wild fantasy, dark auras began to swirl around her.

Noel and Mira, watching from the side, were left speechless.

"Uh, Lucy, calm down." Noel said, sweating.

"Natsu, Lucy's broken." Happy turned to Natsu.

"Did she eat something weird?" Natsu muttered thoughtfully.

"Maybe she finally snapped under the pressure of rent?" Gray chimed in.

Suddenly, Lucy blurted out, "I can't let this continue!" and, just like Erza, she bolted out of the room.
