December X779, clear sky.
Inside the Fairy Tail Guild...
"Haha, alright! Let's have a feast, Everyone!"
"Oh~ Yeah!"
Makarov stood at the bar, laughing and raising his glass to the Guild Members below, who were also beaming with excitement, and cheered happily with them.
The Guild was once again a lively scene.
"Master, the bills are finally cleared." Erza also had a smile on her face as she looked at the lively scene in the Guild, her eyes scanning around. Before the Master could reply, a quarrel between two people broke out.
"I did more quests!"
"The total amount of money from my quests was higher!"
"Damn it, let's settle this with a fight!"
"Slam~" The sound of a water cup being placed on the table.
"Alright, that's exactly what I was thinking! Fire Dragon's Roar!"
"Ice-Make: Ice Cannon!"
As the two argued, Gray also excitedly placed his water cup on the table, preparing to gather his magic power to use a spell, while Natsu took a deep breath.
"Natsu, maybe not. Look over there…" Happy, sitting on Natsu's shoulder, patted Natsu's head, advising him, because he saw Erza, with her hair floating from magic power, walking towards them with a murderous expression. He was so scared that he tremblingly flew to Lisanna, who was sitting at a nearby table.
Lisanna was about to get up and warn the two, but Mirajane, who was smirking beside her, pulled her down, not letting her interfere. Lisanna could only Following the trend pick up Happy, her face full of worry.
Mirajane also wanted to see Natsu and Gray get taught a lesson. Elfman was directly held under Mirajane's arm, his mouth covered, leaving him with a worried expression as he looked at the two.
"Bang bang~"
Just as the two were about to release their magic, Erza quickly landed two consecutive punches, smashing them to the floor, instantly interrupting their magic. Her arms were crossed over her chest, smoke still rising from her fists, and she gritted her teeth, speaking with anger and exasperation:
"You two, that's enough!"
"Hi," the two replied weakly from the floor.
"Hahahahaha!" Everyone in the Guild burst into laughter at this scene, and the atmosphere became even more lively.
"Haha, those two." Zorn, watching the situation from the side, also shook his head with a helpless smile.
"Such childish brats." Laxus said with his arms crossed, speechless.
"Well, this is what makes it lively, hiccup." Macao, who was drunk beside him, said with a look of contentment, letting out a hiccup, which drew waves of disgust from Wakaba next to him, and the two also started arguing because of it.
The Guild feast continued until the afternoon. On his way back to his dorm, Zorn also thought about the Ten Wizard Saints selection that Master had mentioned to him and Laxus.
Laxus, on the other hand, looked disgusted and had no interest in participating. Zorn, however, had some ideas; he wanted to become a Ten Wizard Saint, participate in certain resolutions, and try to make some changes to the Council.
"Zorn, what are you thinking about? Did you hear what I just said?" Cana, beside him, was a little annoyed, pouting as she looked at the distracted Zorn.
"Ah, haha, yes, sorry, sorry, I was thinking about what Master said." Zorn scratched his head, apologizing awkwardly, while signaling with his eyes for Cana to repeat what he hadn't heard.
"I mean, I'm not quite ready to live with you yet. I'm still too young… and it wouldn't look good to Erza and Mirajane either." Cana said, a little shyly, looking down and tapping her two index fingers together.
"Hahahaha, Cana, what are you thinking? It's just for you to move in, two rooms, we won't do that kind of thing."
"I was wondering why you kept peeking at me during the feast. So that's what you were thinking. Sorry, sorry, naughty thoughts, haha."
Zorn burst into laughter at this point, amused by Cana's thoughts, and also blamed himself for not explaining clearly.
Zorn explained to Cana with a beaming smile, and Cana's face instantly turned bright red, smoke practically coming out of her head.
She then used her right hand, channeling magic power and Armament Haki, and punched Zorn, who was still teasing her, in the stomach. Zorn immediately flew into the sky, turning into a speck of light, and disappeared.
"Baka, baka, idiot, idiot!" Cana yelled shyly and wildly at the sky where Zorn had disappeared, venting her frustration.
At this moment, Master, watching their interaction from the Guild entrance, also smiled and sighed, thinking how good it was to be young.
The next day, Zorn, with minor injuries, and Cana, still a little annoyed, brought their belongings neatly to their newly bought, already renovated house.
For the house, Zorn chose a small detached house with its own garden. Looking at what would now be his and Cana's home, his heart was filled with deep satisfaction, and a goofy smile appeared on his face.
"Pfft." Cana looked at Zorn, who was smiling so goofily beside her. The last trace of shyness in her heart vanished without a trace, and she let out a chuckle, reaching out to wrap her arm around Zorn's. Together, they happily looked at the house before them.
Zorn was instinctively startled. Seeing Cana leaning against him without any other movements, he also reached out and put his arm around Cana, letting her lean into his embrace. The two quietly enjoyed the moment together.
—Fairy Tail Guild
"Nani, they're living together?!" The Guild Members looked at the two in shock, exclaiming simultaneously.
"No, we're living in one house, but it's not really cohabitation." Zorn didn't know how to explain such a thing. According to two people of different genders living together, it technically was cohabitation, but they weren't doing that kind of thing right now…
The Guild Members, divided into two groups of men and women, surrounded the two, curiously asking about their situation, which instantly flustered the two, making them answer questions in a panic.
Master remained calm, sitting at the bar, sipping his drink, but his gaze occasionally drifted towards Laxus, who stood motionless nearby, looking at him meaningfully.
This persistent gaze made Laxus uncomfortable, neither sitting nor standing properly. He just turned his head and scoffed, expressing his emotions.
Zorn and Cana, after being surrounded and questioned, finally managed to escape by saying they would host a feast at their new house and invited Everyone to come eat. Then they swiftly rushed out of the Guild to prepare ingredients and drinks.
Only the others were left to ponder what gifts to bring.
