It was hard to refuse their hospitality!
Aux and the other two didn't stand on ceremony, drinking while dealing with the enthusiastic residents.
Cana even started a drinking contest with someone.
As for Ikaruga, she smiled and sipped her drink, and the entire town was bustling with activity.
Night fell.
The client had prepared a small courtyard for them to rest, and the three of them went back to sober up.
"How can drinking be without music? Since I'm in the mood, I'll sing a song for you two."
Although Ikaruga rarely drank.
But the residents were so enthusiastic that she was now quite tipsy.
She even wanted to sing loudly in the small courtyard.
Aux and Cana immediately clapped, sitting by and quietly enjoying.
"Stars..."
Ikaruga's voice was excellent.
She wasn't just singing; she was also dancing.
Under the night sky, Aux and Cana were both a little mesmerized.
Finally, the three of them went back inside to continue their small drinks.
Drowsily... Aux put his arms around the two beauties and fell asleep in the room.
When he woke up again, he felt a splitting headache.
When he used a little force with his hands, he only felt a soft, delicate touch.
Aux looked at his hands and found himself sleeping between the two girls.
His hands were also naughtily tucked into their clothes.
He awkwardly tried to pull his hands back but, with a hint of reluctance, squeezed again.
"Mmm..."
Perhaps the force was a bit too much, waking Ikaruga on his right.
She opened her eyes, first meeting Aux's gaze, then looking down at the hand tucked into her clothes.
"Cough, cough, cough..."
Aux hurriedly pulled his hand out.
But Ikaruga's clothes didn't cover much to begin with, and his action made even more of it exposed.
The expanse of white made his eyes widen in a daze.
"Young man, this behavior is hardly gentlemanly."
Ikaruga, however, was not shy at all.
She got up and turned her back to Aux to tidy herself, quickly returning to her original state.
Then she turned her head and fixed her gaze on Aux's left hand.
"I drank a bit too much last night; maybe I just got restless after falling asleep," Aux explained.
He pulled back his left hand and nudged Cana, waking her up.
After washing up in the small courtyard, the three of them agreed to find the client to settle the bill.
After the money was distributed, they would go their separate ways.
Outside the town.
Ikaruga, holding her long katana, asked, "Lord Aux, how about considering joining my side? If you agree, you'll have another chance to see what happened last night, and I can also accept your behavior this morning."
Aux was silent. "Last night" referred to singing and dancing, while "this morning" referred to more intimate matters.
This Ikaruga actually planned to use a honey trap on him!
Given her looks and figure, if Aux hadn't joined the Fairy Tail Guild, he wouldn't have hesitated for a second.
Unfortunately... the atmosphere of the Fairy Tail Guild was excellent, and there were more beautiful women there. He couldn't abandon the entire forest for one crooked tree.
"What organization are you from? Using dancing and singing to entice people feels a bit improper, doesn't it?" Cana asked cautiously.
This woman was actually eyeing Aux!
She would absolutely not agree!
"What a pity..."
Ikaruga's gaze lingered on Cana's face for a moment, guessing the relationship between the two.
She immediately felt regret.
From a practical standpoint, Aux's magic would be very beneficial to their organization.
And personally, he was handsome and they had shared intimate moments; she did want to develop things further.
Now it seemed she was a step too late, beaten to it by this woman, Cana.
"The Three Raven always welcome you!"
Ikaruga departed!
Cana here thought for a few seconds before remembering why that name sounded familiar.
The Assassination Guild!
According to the regulations set by the Magic Council, the organization Ikaruga belonged to was undoubtedly a Dark Guild!
That client actually sought out such a Guild; wasn't he afraid of being double-crossed?
"Let's go back!" Aux called to Cana, and they left.
He would consider helping Ikaruga out later if the opportunity arose; for now, it was best not to meddle.
This mission was completed perfectly.
The client not only paid the reward promptly but also specifically gave Cana a lot of alcohol.
This made Cana very happy, and as a result, their return journey was much slower than expected.
They camped outdoors occasionally!
They rested for a day in every town they passed through, until they returned to Magnolia.
All the alcohol the client had given them was gone.
Upon reaching the town.
Cana immediately left him, finding a random pub to buy a bottle of wine to drink as she walked.
"I'm back~"
Walking into the Guild, Cana enthusiastically greeted everyone.
"Welcome back~"
Mirajane saw how happy Cana was at that moment and was completely relieved.
Indeed, the Cana who drank non-stop was the more familiar one.
Cana waved and took a seat, continuing to drink heartily.
Levy also came over.
"Cana, are you okay?" Levy asked.
Cana's condition in the past few days had been very worrying, but she got better after going out.
"I'm fine~" Cana waved her hand.
After parting ways with Ikaruga, these past few days, whether in the wilderness or town inns, she had enjoyed a satisfying sex life with Aux.
Aside from being a little addicted now, there was nothing else that could bother her.
Levy looked at her and confirmed she was fine before feeling relieved!
Indeed, the Cana who drank non-stop was her at her best.
"Cana, how about we go for a drink tonight?"
Macao over there enthusiastically invited her.
Cana narrowed her eyes and shook her head, "No, no, I'm going to slowly quit drinking from now on."
Hiss~
Macao and Warcaba looked as if the sky had fallen.
This was truly an unbelievable fact: Cana, who loved drinking more than life itself, was going to quit drinking!!
Aux sat back at the counter.
"You need to work hard this year, strive to become an S-Class Mage as soon as possible."
Mirajane brought him coffee.
"Yes, I really need to work hard this year," Aux sighed.
He was still waiting to become an S-Class Mage before taking on the Galuna Island mission.
Although he could go even without accepting a mission.
But he wasn't sure if the village chief would pay him; what if he didn't, wouldn't it be a waste of effort?
Anyway, Lucy was still a long way from joining the Guild.
He didn't need to rush too much; he'd become an S-Class Mage in the Fairy Tail Guild first.
Grumble... Thinking of this, he was full of motivation.
He drank his coffee in a few gulps, got up, and walked to the request board to find a suitable job.
"Wait..."
After looking for a long time, Aux reached out and just tore off a request when Levy stopped him.
Levy said, annoyed, "I was just about to go do this job; I didn't expect you to be so fast, Aux."
Jet patted his chest, "Don't worry, Levy-chan, even if it's another mission, it's no problem; I can protect you!"
Droy, the other member of Shadow Gear, was also eager.
Levy was very conflicted; she really, really wanted to do the job in Aux's hand.
But she was a step too late, after all; she couldn't possibly use her senior status to demand Aux give her the job.
"I'm quite interested in this job too," Aux said, pointing at the reward for the request, "This magic book should be a very rare item."
Levy seemed to have found a kindred spirit.
She nodded her small head vigorously, "Exactly, there are no more than ten copies of this magic book left now; I really want it!"
Her gaze towards Aux was full of admiration.
He truly was the Guild's new male god; not only handsome but also very knowledgeable.
Much better than her two partners...
