On the third day after joining the Fairy Tail guild and becoming the official wizards of Fairy Tail, Annie and Lucy happily moved out of the building where the guild was located.
They had to do so, because, ah, the guild was full of chaos, chaos, and extremely noisy. It was just like a bar and a place for fights, so if it was used as a temporary place for repairs and fun, it would be okay. It's a make do, but if you want to live there for a long time, it's definitely not feasible!
So...
After thinking about it again and again, Lucy went with a little girl companion in this commercial area called Magnolia, where magic has been very popular since ancient times and is completely different from the port city of Harugion. I rented a beautiful big house next to the river with a garden and swimming pool as a residence in the city.
This Magnolia city is very large. In the center of the city is the tallest building, the Cathedral of Cardia. Pass through the cathedral that stands in the center of the city and walk northwest along the broad and straight avenue. , after passing the stone bridge across the river and extending to the seaside, it is the second tallest but most beautiful building in the city located in the seaside community. It is their "Fairy Tail" guild headquarters, and it is also the guild headquarters of the city. The only magician's guild!
However, it is said that there used to be many other magician guilds here?
But to this day, they have all disappeared. It is unknown whether they were bankrupted and disbanded due to legal competition from Fairy Tail, or whether they had to evacuate and move due to other reasons... Anyway, no matter Whether it was a bad little girl or Lucy, they would definitely not ask about those boring things.
Anyway, after moving out of the 'Fairy Tail' guild residence that was not suitable for long-term living, and completely bidding farewell to the small and noisy single dormitory for guild members, Annie and Lucy started a 'joint venture' at the foot of the mountain on the west side of the city. , in this excellent scenic spot near the river and the sea, this house has a large exquisite bathroom, two cloakrooms, two master bedrooms, a hall, a kitchen and a dining room, as well as a large fireplace, hot water boiler and Rented in a large villa with the mentioned garden and swimming pool, and two maids.
After staying here for two days, Lucy was very satisfied with everything here. Even if she was picky, she couldn't find any major faults. She just wanted to live here forever and thoroughly enjoy it. Consider this her home?
But...
Lucy also knew that that was impossible...
Because, the rent of this house is too expensive, it costs as much as 360,000 J per year! Moreover, that is just the rent, and does not include normal monthly expenses, such as sanitation fees, firewood and coal fees, city management fees, property fees, daily living expenses, and the wages of two maids, etc.
To be honest, Lucy didn't originally plan to rent such a big, beautiful, and luxurious house, because at that price, after renting it for two years, she could buy a two-story cabin in the city!
Before, that is, before they were sure to rent this big house, she had taken a fancy to a two-story wooden building by the stone bridge facing the river not far from the guild. The place is also very big, and it is more than enough to accommodate the two girls. The annual rent is only 70,000 J, and buying it outright is only about 6 to 700,000 J. How could it be as outrageous as the place they are renting now?
Of course, the place where she lives now is really comfortable, so Lucy has no intention of moving out and saving money.
but……
There is a problem Lucy has to face, that is: she seems to be running out of money!
If she were to rent the small two-story house with an attic that she was interested in before, the annual living cost would not exceed 100,000 J at most. In that case, her life would be very wealthy and leisurely, and she would be able to live in a short period of time. She won't worry too much about money, as long as she doesn't shop and spend money randomly?
However, when she accidentally gave up her principles, succumbed to the sugar-coated attack of a little girl, agreed to share a rent with him and lived in this beautiful villa, she discovered that even if the rent was two It is shared among people, but her annual living cost is at least about 300,000 J, which is three times as much as she planned! !
So, when her plans couldn't keep up with the changes, and when her wallet was getting thinner and thinner, she had just joined the Fairy Tail guild a few days ago, and before she had time to adapt, she had to start facing reality. Are you worried about your own livelihood and planning to take on one or two lucrative commissions in order to maintain the luxurious life of a noble lady that you don't want to change?
Although Lucy didn't know what it was to move from frugality to luxury and how difficult it was to move from luxury to frugality, she only knew that once she experienced the comfortable life of such a mansion, she would be dejected and moved out to live in a small wooden building like that. Or the singles dormitory in the guild, she will definitely go crazy!
Therefore, Lucy rarely invited her Natsu, who had a good relationship with her in the guild and could barely be considered a friend, and planned to work together with him to make a lot of money, so that she would not suffer from one day because of No money to pay living expenses and have to move back to the guild to live in a single dormitory in despair?
"Huh?"
|ू・ω・`)
"Hello, Big Frog and Hapi, why are you two here?"
(*´▽`)ノHello!
At this time, just as Lucy was frowning in thought while holding a mission statement that Natsu had brought, Annie finally appeared, and as soon as she came in, she happily chatted with a certain cat harpy and a certain undercooked giant Frog Natsu waved.
"ah!"
"Hello, Annie, I came to your house with Natsu as a guest."
Hearing the sound, Habi just turned around and waved his paw slightly, and then continued to watch the other party and Lucy's extremely luxurious home.
In its opinion, this place is more than 10,000 times better than Natsu's kennel. It has begun to consider whether to find a new kennel...because it seems to want to live in such a large house. Then when you have nothing to do, you can also go for a walk in the garden outside?
It's a pity that there are no fish in the pond outside the garden, otherwise, it would have made up its mind on the spot to get rid of Natsu temporarily and get under the skirts of those two women instead.
"you!"
"snort!"
"I'm not a big frog. You can call me Natsu. My full name is: Atrias Natsu Dragneel, the strongest 'Fire Dragon' in Fairy Tail!!"
Natsu obviously didn't like the inexplicable 'Big Frog' nickname that the other party gave him, and he also didn't like the other party's use of that kind of magical magic that could reshape reality and change the essential structure of the world. Use the transformation technique to tease yourself, such as turning him into a frog and then roasting him on the fire or something?
Although, due to the lost ancient magic 'Fire Dragon Slayer Magic', the flames cannot cause any harm to his own body, but no matter what, he doesn't like to be turned into a frog and tied to a branch. He was put on the fire to be roasted, and then he was given the abominable nickname of "Big Frog"!
And if he hadn't been sure that he really couldn't help that little girl with extremely weird magic, and that he would only humiliate himself by doing anything casually, he might have given her a lesson.
"oh!"
(๑・`◡´・๑)
"Okay! From now on, people will call you 'The Strongest Fire Dragon Frog'!"
٩(*զ)و
Annie replied indifferently, and then ran towards the restaurant.
Because she is hungry now and is going to ask the considerate maid for something delicious to eat. As for whether the fire dragon frog and cat harpy want to eat, she won't care. Anyway, she has already I've said hello and it's already very polite.
"..."
Natsu was so angry that he turned away and stopped talking.
snort!
He knew that it was useless to say anything to a little girl like this. Since she couldn't be beaten and she didn't dare to scold her, what else could he do?
Fortunately, he was still thinking about whether to move here to live with Lucy and the others. Anyway, they still have a lot of empty rooms at home, so they definitely wouldn't mind having him around, but... suddenly he realized this There was also a devil-like little girl living there, and he didn't want to be teased by her with that weird magic every day, so he had to give up the idea sadly.
"..."
Lucy didn't pay attention to the conversation or conflict between Annie and Natsu. Anyway, the two of them didn't deal with this kind of thing. Both she and everyone else in the guild were used to it, so she continued to look at Natsu so intently. The one I chose here is said to be able to earn 200,000 J just by doing anything casually. It is a very profitable commission.
"Well……"
"!!"
"Um?!"
Finally, after looking at it, Lucy suddenly frowned and slapped the commission notice directly on the table with some disbelief.
Bang! !
"Natsu!!"
"This commission, this mission to go to the town of Hilozme and steal a book from Duke Aibar's mansion worth 200,000 J, don't you want me to pretend to be a maid and sneak in? , steal the book from that lecherous and perverted Duke Aybar, right?"
After reading this, especially after seeing the very good reward, Lucy suddenly understood the reason why Natsu was willing to cooperate with her to form a team and came to her home eagerly after hearing her message. It turns out that the other party Was it because he wanted to take advantage of this beautiful girl with her beautiful appearance?
Although, she didn't mind using her most proficient and proud weapon to deal with the enemy, but the feeling of being used by her own people still made her feel a little uncomfortable.
"ah!"
"You think so too?"
"really!"
"Lucy, I knew you were the most suitable person to partner with me!"
"!!"
"Damn it! That's not what I meant just now, Natsu, you guy, stop being so proud!"
"But……"
"Lucy, don't you think that plan will work?"
"Well……"
"It's not impossible, but if I have to sacrifice my appearance to go in and carry out the mission, you guys who are supporting me outside will have to take less!"
"Ah! How much do you want?"
"Just divide it according to 8:1:1!"
"!!"
"this……"
"Wow!"
"Is it Lucy, you get one, Natsu gets one, and Happy gets eight?"
"!!"
"You're dreaming! It's me, Lucy, who gets eight pieces, and you guys each get one piece each! No more!"
"This matter is non-negotiable!!"
Seeing that a certain meow who was basically useless dared to show up and try to split his head, Lucy angrily kicked the cat away and slapped the table again and insisted fiercely.
"Eh?"
|•'-'•)?
"Are you playing some fun game?"
(๑•̌.•̑๑)ˀ̣ˀ̣
Finally, after Annie, who originally ran into the restaurant to find something to eat, heard a quarrel and loud noises of banging on the table outside, she couldn't help but wandered out again, and stood aside curiously and asked .
"It's not a game!"
"It's because of a commission from the guild. I have no money recently. In order to maintain a decent life, I have to go out to work!"
If it weren't for the lack of money, Lucy wouldn't compromise and want to do such a task so eagerly! But there is no way. Sometimes, people always have to bow to life. Otherwise, what else can she do?
"All right!"
"Annie, this is actually what happened..."
Seeing that the other party seemed to be very interested, Lucy sighed and handed the letter of entrustment issued to their Fairy Tail Guild on the table to Annie, and explained what she had just done. Hence the reason for getting angry and arguing with Natsu.
"Uh-huh……"
(ー`´ー)
"So that's what it's like..."
⚆_⚆
"Then, let's go and join in! It just so happens that I seem to be running out of money these days!"
(*๓´ꌂ`๓)
It seemed quite fun, just something as simple as stealing a book, so Anne directly raised her hand to indicate that Queen Anne was also going to participate.
"Huh?!"
"Annie, are you going to run out of money so quickly? Last time, I saw you made several wads of large sums of money by selling a few magic books in Harugion, which must have been at least nearly a million dollars. Why did you say you had no money so quickly?”
In this regard, Lucy expressed her confusion. She didn't understand why this little guy suddenly said he had no money. Logically speaking, so much money would be enough for the other party to squander it for a year or two.
Of course, if it were Lucy, even based on the current super decent cost of living, it would probably be enough to spend three or four years on her.
"I do not know……"
(^~^;)ゞ
"There aren't many left of Huahuahua. It seems like there really aren't many left. There should be less than ten..."
く(^_・)ゝ
After reaching into her pocket, Annie took out a few pitiful brand-new banknotes with an innocent look on her face.
She herself was scratching her head a little about this.
Anyway, she didn’t know what was going on. She would buy delicious things when she saw them, and she would buy a lot of them. Even if she couldn’t finish them in a short while, she would throw them into her bag. Save up, plus eat several big meals and several desserts a day, eat, play, plus rent a house...
Isn’t this?
Within a few days, she found that the small amounts of money that she thought would be a lot became less and less.
"!!"
"That's all? How on earth do you spend money?!"
"besides!"
"Why do you still dare to rent such a big house when you have no money? Aren't you afraid that you will be kicked out if you run out of money and can't afford the maintenance fees?!"
Lucy was stunned. She simply couldn't imagine the little guy in front of her who dared to spend money lavishly even if he had no money, so she was so angry that she started yelling in a half-roaring tone.
She originally thought that the other party was very rich, and was worried that she would not be able to afford the living expenses and would have to move out... But now she realized that the other party had less than ten pieces of money. Even if it's the one with the highest denomination, it's probably going to be poorer than Lucy in total, right?
"Don't be afraid, isn't this all spent yet?"
(*^▽^*)
Anne said with such a careless and heartless smile.
Anyway, if she ran out of money, she would just continue selling magic books, or maybe just take on a few small tasks like the two people in front of her?
"!!"
"I don't care about you!"
"Anyway!"
"We can't take you on this mission, you have to think of a solution first!!"
Lucy was a little angry, and firmly rejected Annie's request just now, and rejected the other party's application to join their team.
"But……"
(≡•̀·̯•́≡)
"I can use magic to turn you into little animals, so you can easily sneak in and steal the book. You don't have to pretend to be a maid!!"
٩(ˊᗜˋ)و
Anne heard the conversation between the two just now and knew that Sister Lucy wanted to disguise herself as a maid and sneak into the house of that Duke and Earl to steal books, so she directly came up with a better way.
"It just doesn't work anyway!"
"Not this time!"
Lucy crossed her arms and felt that she should teach the other party a profound lesson, so she turned her back firmly.
"!!"
(๐•̆·̭•̆๐)
"If it doesn't work, it won't work. People don't care about it!"
o(´^`)o
Seeing that the other party rejected her kindness so cruelly, Annie became a little angry and turned around bitterly, striding angrily into the restaurant.
"snort!"
(。•ˇ‸ˇ•。)
"If you fail and ask others for help, they will only give you a small share!"
|•'-'•)و✧
After sticking out her head and threatening the two men severely, Annie quickly retracted.
