Chapter 43 - Chapter 43

"Hahaha! From now on I can say that I have done S-level missions!" Lucy laughed as she stepped off the boat, her hands on her hips.

"But it's all thanks to Raphael, Gray and Natsu!" Happy raised his hand and said

"You're still a cute cat even when you're silent!" Lucy said helplessly to Happy,"And I also helped, okay, I defeated the puppet girl by myself!"

"But we worked so hard for so long, and only got one key...."Hubby lowered his head in frustration and said

"That's right, Raphael~ Why don't you want a reward? It's so much money~" Natsu said as he walked along with the same frustration

"How dare you say that? You should know that you secretly found this mission to do it in the beginning!" Raphael gave a slap to the man and the cat."Although it was accepted in my name in the later stage, we can't encourage this trend. Tell me, if I'm not here, how are you going to complete this mission? Natsu, are you really going to fly into space and smash the moon?"

"It's not impossible..."Natsu muttered quietly from the side.

"Hey, why don't we sell Lucy's key? We can split the money!" Habby conspired with Raphael and the others in the loudest voice.

"I heard it, little thief cat!"Lucy knocked on Hubby's head angrily,"As I said, there are only twelve such keys in the world, they are very precious!"

"Just that cow and the maid?" Natsu turned around and said with a disdainful chuckle.

"If I practice hard, the stars will definitely be better than you!"Lucy yelled at Natsu angrily.

"Okay, let's go back to the guild first. Don't forget, you will be punished this time!"Raphael said with a smile.

"Punishment?! Could it be that?"Gray was shocked, and then looked at Lucy and Natsu with a gloating look.

"Punishment? What punishment? Gray, what's that expression on your face?!" Lucy was shocked and asked quickly

"Punishment, it's not a big deal, it's just that..."Natsu hugged Lucy and was about to explain to her when he suddenly seemed to remember something. His face became paler and paler, and he sweated more and more. In the end, he squatted on the ground holding his head like an ostrich.

"Is it so terrible? What kind of punishment is this?"With Lucy's shouts, everyone happily walked towards the guild.

"Hahahaha, Natsu, let's see if you dare next time... Ouch!"

"boom!"

Gray was laughing at Natsu when he suddenly hit an invisible wall, causing him to jump in pain.

"This is..."Lucy and Natsu were startled and stopped immediately, looking up.

They saw that the guild was surrounded by a layer of barrier. There were several magic puppets installed on both sides of the guild inside the barrier, as if they were on guard against something. The sharp-eyed Raphael also saw a circle of hidden magic traps around the guild.

"Could this formation be a sneak attack?"Lucy murmured in surprise.

Raphael frowned, thinking that after the plot of Moon Island, there would be an attack by ghosts. Could it be them?

At this time, the magic puppets who were patrolling discovered them. One of them came over, raised the magic cannon in his hand and pointed it at them and said:"No non-Fairy Tail guild members are allowed to approach!"

"We are from the Fairy Tail Guild, who are you? Why don't you let us in?!" Natsu, who had the hottest temper, immediately jumped up, his hands ignited with flames and shouted at the puppet.

"Enemy attack!" The eyes of the magic puppet instantly turned red, and a piercing alarm sounded. The surrounding magic puppets also gathered around, and the magic traps in the hidden places also flashed a stream of light, as if they had all been activated.

"what happened?! You go out to do a mission and you can't even return home?!"Gray clenched his fists and stood beside Natsu, ready to fight at any time.

"Don't worry, maybe something happened to the guild, so I set it up like this. Let me think about it."Raphael stopped Natsu and Gray. After all, this puppet also made it very clear that people who are not from the Fairy Tail guild are not allowed to enter.

"People from the Fairy Tail guild... By the way, we should just show them the guild seal together!"Raphael thought for a while and thought of a way.

Natsu and Gray took off their coats and clothes in an instant, revealing the crests on their arms and chests, while Lucy and Happy revealed the crests on their hands and backs. Phil also revealed his coat of arms.

The red light in the magic puppet's eyes flashed, as if it was scanning something.

"Confirmed, it's someone from the Fairy Tail Guild, the alarm is lifted, and they are allowed to pass!" The first magic puppet waved to the puppets behind him, and then they formed a magic circle. The surrounding barrier instantly revealed a door that could allow one person to enter, and the surrounding magic traps instantly quieted down.

"Come on, let's go in and see what went wrong that caused us to be so alert!"

Raphael called everyone and walked into the guild together.

After finally entering the guild, Raphael and his party were surprised to find that everyone was drinking wine happily, and instantly became like a confused monk.

"You are back!"

"Raphael, you seem to have lost your hair again!"

"Natsu and Gray are back too!"

"Lucy is in great shape as always!"

Everyone in the guild waved to them.

"Yo! Welcome back!"Makarov, who was drinking, said to Raphael and the others with a smile.

"President! What's going on? You can actually still drink?"Natsu shouted as he threw himself in front of Makarov.

"Mira, what's going on?" Raphael saw that the president was in good spirits and just looked at Natsu with a smile. Suddenly, Raphael, who felt a little embarrassed, turned around and asked Mira, who was also smiling next to him.

"Alright, alright, it's okay, it's just a little trick from the ghost! Mirajane waved her hands and said calmly.

"Sure enough, it was them... what did they do?"Raphael nodded and then asked

"Nothing was done. Someone came in pretending to be a guild member and wanted to cause damage, but was discovered by Sister Mira. Then... the pretender was free-falled by Sister Mira. Lisanna, who was helping on the side, said with a smile.

"Free fall...May they be safe!" Raphael instantly thought of that scene! Praying for the unlucky person with sweat all over his forehead.

"Snapped! Snapped! Snapped!"

Raphael turned his head and looked around. It turned out that Natsu, Happy and Lucy were each slapped by Makarov when he stretched out his arm. However, Lucy's slap was on her butt.

"Hey, Lucy is a girl, you can't do this!" Mirajane puffed up her face and accused Makarov

"President! Do you know what the situation is now? The guild has been provoked!"Listening to what others were saying, Natsu also understood the situation, but when he saw that his president was still drinking wine safely, he shouted angrily.

"Calm down, it's not a big deal, really, don't worry about them! That's all they have, they can do some tricks or something!"Makarov said while drinking heavily.

""Oh my, I have to pee urgently, I need to go to the toilet!" Makarov found an excuse to pee, so that Natsu wouldn't have to ask him all the time.

"Damn it, what happened to the president?!"Natsu slammed his fist on the table, unable to understand why the president reacted like this

"In fact, the president is also very unwilling, but the Council has a rule that does not allow guilds to directly engage in private fights, which is not conducive to the stability of the order of the magic world!"Mira looked at Makarov's back and sighed to Natsu.

"Looking at the formation outside the guild, it shouldn't just be someone pretending to invade the guild, right?"Raphael was interested in this question.

Mira hesitated for a while and looked aside to Erza.

Erza shook her head, stepped forward and said to Raphael:"Let me answer this question. , after you left, the president accepted your opinion. In addition to asking me to wait for you to come back before picking up the mission, he also called back all the teams that were doing missions outside. However, among the teams that came back, there were several One of the members had his identity replaced and sneaked into the guild, intending to cause irreparable damage to the guild at night."

"Fortunately, those teams were very familiar with their teammates, so they realized something was wrong and immediately picked out all the substitutes. But the worst thing was not this. Soon after, someone imitated me and invited girls from the guild. We went out to perform a mission together. Fortunately, Mira discovered it in time, otherwise..."

Erza punched down, and the poor table finally fell apart.

"It's all my fault. If only I hadn't gone out to buy some strawberry cake!"

""Okay, it's over, Erza, no one is hurt, it's okay." Mira went up to comfort Erza for the first time.

Raphael was silent for a long time, punched the table, the poor table was broken into pieces, and now it was smashed into powder, and turned around and walked out of the guild.

"What are you going to do? Raphael! Mira quickly shouted

"It's nothing, there are a lot of mice, I'm going to kill some mice!"

Raphael waved his hand and walked out, while Natsu and Gray looked at Raphael in confusion.

"Shooting mice? Isn't he a mysophobic?"Lucy said doubtfully.

"This is not about beating mice, he is going to teach the ghost a lesson!"Miraj looked at Raphael's back worriedly, praying silently in her heart.

Don't let anything happen, and don't be too impulsive, Raphael...
