Chapter 0002: The Red-Haired Girl Who Stands Out from Her Surroundings
She was a little girl who was completely out of place in the lively atmosphere of the entire guild
Noah does not know much about the girl named Elusa, only that she joined "Fairytail" after he did.
Upon witnessing this, Noah couldn't help but laugh out loud
Currently, within the entire "Fairy Tail," only a handful of one or two individuals are recognized by the guild master and permitted to take on tasks on the second floor, making it quite rare to see anyone in this area.
The girl's name is Elusha Shukaletto
In other words, if it were not for Noah, the third floor of the Fairy Tail guild would be the most neglected place. Even now, it is only occasionally visited when someone has business with Noah. The most frequent visitor is Gray, although he does not stay for long.
There, there is a young girl whose age is comparable to that of Noah and Gray
After a long time, a voice that only Erza could hear emerged from her lips
So sweet
Erza slightly furrowed her brows, raised her head, and looked ahead. As a result, she could only see a figure of similar size to herself, yet seemingly robust, walking towards the Great Harmony Library of the guild. Shortly thereafter, the figure walked straight out of the guild and disappeared from her sight
This is Noah's first impression of Elusha, and it remains his entire impression to this day
As for the third floor, it was originally intended to be a place for storing important items of the guild. It was not until Noah moved into the "Fairy Tail" guild that one of the rooms on the upper level was tidied up for Noah to reside in
A mage who is still in the process of learning magic and is not yet mature, and another who does not know a single spell and is completely inexperienced, yet at this moment, they face each other and make a resolution that even an ordinarily excellent mage would not dare to take lightly
The first level is where the members of the guild usually gather, either to undertake tasks posted on the commission board or to engage in various guild activities, including casual conversations. It is quite similar to an ordinary tavern, and most guilds operate in a similar manner.
Erza stared blankly at the guild's door, then looked somewhat lost at the cheesecake placed in front of her. She fell silent until, after a while, she finally extended the fork she had been holding, cut a small piece from it, and brought it to her mouth
Wow!
Today is a bit later than usual
Hey! You guys! Didn't you see me with the * picture * book?!" Gray jumped out, pointing at everyone in the guild with veins bulging on his forehead
Gray curled his lips, but the eagerness on his face had clearly vanished completely
Upon hearing this, the members of the guild burst into laughter
The Fairy Tail guild consists of three levels
Oh no! It was only then that Gray realized he was wearing nothing but a pair of shorts.
One does not know whether to say that a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers or that it is the foolish words of a child
I do not know either," Noah shook his head
Although they are playmates of the same age, as a child who is only eleven or twelve years old, being able to use magic at this age is quite impressive. However, Gray has a rather amusing quirk that makes others chuckle—exhibitionism.
When I first moved into the third floor of the guild, my grandfather warned me with a very frightening expression that I must not enter the second floor under any circumstances, or else I would be expelled from the guild
However, this charming young girl, in every aspect, is wearing a cold armor that is quite mismatched with her appearance. On her delicate little face, one of her eyes is covered with a medical eye patch. She sits there alone, not speaking to anyone, as if she has deliberately isolated herself from those around her, quietly eating while immersed in her books.
Before that, Gray, you should go put on some clothes
The second floor is an idle space, and its layout is not much different from that of a typical building. However, there is a commission board there, identical to the one on the first floor, but it displays tasks that are significantly more challenging than those on the first floor. Only powerful guild mages recognized by the president are allowed to enter.
Watching the other person silently sitting there eating, it was completely disconnected from the lively scene in the guild. Noah hesitated for a moment and walked towards the bar where the guild provided drinks and food.
In the quiet solitude of her meal, a hand suddenly appeared in Erza's line of sight, placing a plate of cheesecake in front of her before vanishing without a trace
Faced with the teasing of his companions in the same guild, Noah wore a helpless expression on his face while also beginning to respond. He actually quite liked this lively and unreserved atmosphere, which gave him a sense of closeness; otherwise, he would not have chosen to live in the guild.
The young girl possesses a head of vibrant red hair, and although her small face is quite youthful, it is exceptionally delicate and very cute
However, Noah's ability to handle the people in the guild with composure does not imply that Gray can do the same
"Well, Noah..." Gray said, not sure if it was curiosity getting the better of him, feeling somewhat eager.
Therefore, Gray often finds himself running naked without realizing it
Have you finally gotten out of bed
Could it be that I wet the bed?
This is a girl with a story
As the grandson of the guild master of "Fairy Tail" and having lived in the guild for a year, the members of the guild were already quite familiar with Noah. Upon seeing Noah come down from upstairs, they all greeted him enthusiastically
The two individuals descended the stairs from the third floor, glancing curiously inside as they passed the second floor, but all they could see was an empty floor.
Clearly I am also here, so why do you all only greet Noah every time
Sooner or later, I will also enter!
Even if I cannot enter now, one day I will surely be able to enter!
While the members of the guild were in a commotion with Gray, Noah's gaze involuntarily turned towards a wooden table in the corner of the guild.
Expelled from the guild? Even someone as bold as Gray was taken aback by this
"Don't even think about it!" Noah interrupted him without hesitation, having already guessed from Gray's expression what he might say.
This is also why Noah appeared completely indifferent when he saw Gray calling himself in this manner
Hahaha
I heard from the partners in the guild that the tasks on the second floor's commission board are terrifying missions that can only be undertaken by exceptionally powerful magicians from www.hetushu.com. We pass by here every day, shouldn't we also...
The two parties, however, wore expressions of determination, exchanged a smile, and no longer paid attention to the second floor. They chatted intermittently as they made their way down to the first floor
At this moment, shortly after dawn, many wizards from the "Fairy Tail" guild have already gathered inside. Some are sitting at wooden tables, drinking and boasting loudly, while others are heading towards the request board, preparing to take on tasks and go out to work
However, my grandfather usually cares for me very much and only scolds me like that on rare occasions. Apart from the initial warning that I should not learn magic until I can freely control my own magical powers, that was the only time. Therefore, it is better for us not to go in.
Yo! Noah!
It was merely to take a look, is such a severe punishment really necessary
As Noah and Gray arrived on the first floor, a tremendous noise immediately filled their ears
As long as I can gain my grandfather's approval, I will be able to enter the second floor Noah nodded heavily
However, since joining "Fairy Tail," Erza has maintained this state of not speaking to anyone and not engaging in any interaction with others, except for a few conversations with Makarov, the guild master, and has not communicated with anyone else.
