Inside a lavishly decorated restaurant.
Zeros sat by the window, with food that the waiter had just brought on the table. However, Zeros did not start eating immediately, but instead took out the Magic Weekly that he had just received.
He flipped through the pages casually, and when he turned to a certain page, a smile suddenly appeared on his lips.
"As expected, 'Fairy Tail' is on the list again." Judging from his tone, it was as if he had expected it all along.
He continued flipping through the pages, and soon he had reached the last few pages of the magazine, the ones marked with various rankings.
"Mira..."
Zeros murmured softly.
In a magazine, Mirajane topped a list called "Most Popular Female Mage," her stunning beauty captivating countless men.
However, Mirajane's appearance in the magazine has changed a lot since Zeros met her two years ago. Her original delinquent style is completely gone. In the magazine, Mila is wearing a pink dress, and her white hair, which used to be tied in a ponytail, is now loose around her waist. A strand of hair is tied up with a ribbon in front of her forehead. Her charm has only increased compared to two years ago.
When Zeros first saw Mirajane in a magazine with such a big change, he was a little surprised for a while. Even now, after seeing Mirajane dressed like this many times, Zeros still occasionally sighs with admiration.
Just then, three more people entered the restaurant—a group of two people and a cat.
If Zeros were to look up at this moment, he would have noticed that the one walking in front of the three people who had just entered was none other than the blonde beauty.
Although Zeros didn't see her, the blonde beauty spotted Zeros by the window reading a magazine the moment she entered. She had a very strong impression of this incredibly handsome man who had 'followed' her before!
Although I don't know why this person secretly slipped away later, I didn't expect to meet him again so soon.
The blonde beauty walked up with a man and a cat, but she didn't intend to get close to the man. However, when she got closer and glanced at the magazine in Zeros's hand, her eyes lit up and she leaned against him as if she couldn't control herself.
"Hey, you like Fairy Tail too!?" The blonde beauty's eyes lit up as she looked at the magazine in Zeros's hand. "That's Mirajane! She's my favorite mage!"
Zeros stared blankly at the girl who suddenly rushed in front of him, especially as she rushed up so loudly, her chest almost touching his face, and Zeros could clearly see the shimmering white skin among them.
After seeing the girl's face clearly, he naturally remembered that she was the novice mage he had met before who possessed three golden keys.
However, it seems that she is not only a novice in magic, but also a complete novice in life.
Zeros snapped the magazine shut and smiled slightly, "Yeah, I really like the Fairy Tail guild!"
"Me too."
Upon hearing Zeros's words, the blonde beauty's face lit up with joy. She then sat down next to Zeros without any hesitation, clasped her hands together, and said with sparkling eyes, "I dream of joining Fairy Tail. I think if I could join, I would definitely become a capable mage!"
"But joining such a popular guild must be very difficult. I really want to join!" The girl's expression became unusually determined as she said this.
She was talking about the difficulties, yet her face showed such a determined expression...
Thinking this, Zeros smiled and said, "Then you have to work hard! I'm sure you can join the guild you like."
"Mmm!" The blonde beauty was immediately encouraged and nodded emphatically.
Zeros's gaze shifted slightly, and the person and cat who had come in with the blonde beauty were already sitting opposite him.
The blonde woman's gaze also turned in that direction, and upon seeing the person and the cat, she seemed to recall her earlier actions...
A moment later, she jumped up from her seat, shouted, and bowed apologetically to Zeros, "Ah! I'm so sorry, I disturbed your meal because I was looking at Fairy Tail!"
Zeros gave her a half-smile, then looked at the person and cat in front of her, shook her head and said, "It's alright, if you don't mind, let's eat together!"
"Ah! Then I'm sorry to bother you." The blonde beauty was taken aback at first, then bowed apologetically to Zeros.
After sitting down again, Lucy said, "Um, my name is Lucy! Nice to meet you."
"My name is Zeros." After Zeros finished speaking, he looked at the person and the cat again, his eyes sparkling, as if he was very interested in the person and the cat.
"These two are…" Lucy was about to introduce the person and the cat, but she suddenly stopped halfway through her sentence, turned to look at them, and said something that left Zeros speechless, "Um, what are your names again?"
The person sitting opposite Zeros was a boy with pink hair. After hearing Lucy's words, he immediately showed a smile and said, "My name is Natsu, and this is Happy."
As he spoke, he pointed to the blue kitten beside him, and the blue kitten even let out a cute "love" meow, which was very endearing.
Looking at the person and the cat, Zeros stroked his chin and then said to Lucy in a strange tone, "You don't recognize them?"
Lucy was taken aback for a moment, then said, "I just met them. They just did me a big favor, so I specially invited them here for dinner."
"I see..." Zeros nodded slightly, already somewhat understanding. It turned out that this girl who kept saying she wanted to join Fairy Tail didn't know much about the guild; otherwise, how could she not recognize the human and the cat...?
Although Zeros didn't recognize the person and the cat either, that didn't stop him from recognizing the person's identity from their appearance.
His hair was the color of cherry blossoms, his scarf was like scales, he had the same name, and a little blue cat was with him.
If he wasn't mistaken, this person was none other than Natsu the Fire Dragon, a member of Fairy Tail!
