Looking at the blue angel emblem on Yan's right shoulder, he had the same question as Natsu.

Yan showed no embarrassment at her failed attempt to be narcissistic, and corrected him earnestly:

"Kid, Saiyans are no good. That's the name of our guild leader's race."

After speaking, she looked down at the guild emblem on her right shoulder, and unconcernedly lifted her short sleeve to let everyone see it clearly.

"How about it? Our guild's emblem is pretty good, isn't it?"

"I designed this myself when the guild was founded."

"You... designed this?"

Gray murmured something, staring at Yan's smiling face for a couple of seconds with a complicated look in his eyes, a guess forming in his mind.

"Your guild leader must have had mixed feelings when he saw this emblem."

"No," Yan shook her head earnestly, lying without batting an eye.

"Our president was so happy he was practically dancing with joy, he was extremely satisfied."

Everyone:... Yeah, right. He's probably jumping up and down in anger.

Although they hadn't known each other for long, everyone could already sense that this seemingly beautiful angel was actually a cunning and mischievous devil at heart.

The members, who always cared a lot about the guild, couldn't help but feel sorry for Bitz.

With his guild members being so unreliable, he, as the guild leader, must be having a real headache.

(Bitzes: Oh right, right, right.) (Makarov:??? You guys are actually feeling sorry for others now?) hehe~~ Seeing the strange expressions on the faces of the three people and the cat, Yan secretly chuckled to himself with smug satisfaction.

After arriving in this world 217, the best decision she made was to make the guild's emblem look like this.

The thought of Beetz's pained expression when someone asked her that question to her face gave her a secret sense of satisfaction.

"Ahem, let's talk about the mission."

Having gotten the answer she wanted, Erza coughed lightly at the right moment, interrupting Natsu's impolite behavior of prying into other people's guild's internal affairs.

"Natsu, Gray, and Happy, I'm sorry, but we can't abandon this mission any longer."

"What? I disagree! We clearly agreed on this!"

Natsu was immediately indignant. They had just agreed to work together, so why did Erza suddenly change her mind?

Erza understood Natsu's feelings at that moment, but she also had her own considerations, and her tone immediately became a bit harsher.

I humbly beg all my esteemed readers to give me more flowers and monthly tickets, and I desperately request that you urge me to update more frequently and provide rewards. I would be eternally grateful.

!

"Natsu, don't forget that you were the one who violated the rules and accepted this mission without permission."

If no other guild mages intervened, that would be fine, since you've already promised the villagers.

But now that Sister Yan has arrived, she is the one who has truly accepted the commission and is responsible for handling this mission.

According to the rules established by the council among the various guilds, unless it is a task jointly undertaken by multiple guilds from the beginning, or Yan-jie is unable to complete it.

Otherwise, we have no right to interfere in this mission and can only return to the guild first.

As she spoke, Erza added a sentence, fearing that Natsu might not be able to accept it.

"It's alright, it's just an S-rank mission. I can take you to a more difficult one when we get back."

Natsu wasn't a newcomer to the guild, so he naturally knew the rules that the council had set up to prevent guilds from competing for missions and causing conflicts.

Knowing something is one thing, but whether you can accept it is another.

He endured nausea and vomiting, and traveled by train and boat, taking quite a while to reach Karna Island.

Before he could even begin the mission, Erza threatened and lectured him, nearly scaring him to death.

After much persuasion, they finally managed to convince Erza to change her mind and continue completing the mission.

At this point, asking him to abandon the mission and return home is something Natsu simply cannot accept.

Even if Erza tempted him with a more challenging mission, it wouldn't work!

Despite his reluctance, even if Natsu is usually out of line and goes too far, he still understands the difference between right and wrong.

It's okay for him to cause some trouble occasionally, since he hasn't harmed any ordinary people and the old man is there to bail him out.

He could simply forgo the payment and let the old man take the blame from the council.

However, if he were to clash with mages from other guilds over a mission that he had taken on his own, it could even lead to hostility or war between the two guilds.

Not only would the old man not let him off the hook, but the guild itself might also be implicated, with the council, which was already at odds with them, taking the opportunity to cause trouble.

Moreover, he considered himself and Yan to have done missions together before, and they were already friends. He didn't want to take away his friend's mission because of himself.

Even Gray patted Natsu on the shoulder with a hint of regret, offering some words of advice:

"Forget it, it's just a level one mission."

Once we become S-rank mages, we'll have plenty of opportunities to do S-rank missions.

"... Okay, fine, I understand."

After a fierce internal struggle, Natsu finally decided to listen to Erza's advice and head back home.

Just as he dejectedly began drawing circles on the ground, Yan suddenly spoke up:

"I said, it's just a mission, there's no need to make it so serious."

If you want to participate, then participate. As long as you complete the task, it doesn't matter how you complete it.

With you all joining in, I can actually save a lot of time.

"Huh? Really? You're willing to share the mission with us?!"

Even Natsu was momentarily stunned before excitedly confirming.

Yan shrugged indifferently, "Otherwise, since we've known each other for a while, it's no big deal to let you experience it."

"That's great! Yan, you're such a good person!!"

Natsu cheered, gave Yan a "good guy" card, and then happily hugged Happy, bursting into tears of joy.

Influenced by Bitz's recent actions, Yan felt that her good intentions had been unappreciated, and couldn't help but roll her eyes.

While Natsu, Happy, and Gray were delighted, Erza remained frowning, unwilling to accept Yan's offer.

"Sister Yan, you should think about this more carefully."

The missions not only affect individual rewards and guild income, but are also closely related to the reputation of each guild.

Your guild has only been established for a short time, and it is precisely the time when it needs to be recognized by more people.

Completing this task alone will better demonstrate your guild's strength and make it easier for you to gain the client's approval.

Conversely, if other clients knew that the Fairy Tail guild's mages couldn't even complete S-rank missions alone and had to team up with our Fairy Tail mages... (Nuo Zhaohao) This will be a significant blow to your guild's reputation. Some people might think that Fairy Tail is nothing special and that it would be better to just assign the quest to Fairy Tail directly.

As she spoke, Erza lowered her head somewhat shyly and explained in a low voice:

"Sorry, I'm not bragging, but Fairy Tail is indeed the number one guild in the Kingdom of Fiore."

After others learn about the mission from the council, they might easily attribute all the credit to Fairy Tail, readily overlooking your own strength.

I humbly beg all my esteemed readers to give me more flowers and monthly tickets, and I desperately request that you urge me to update more frequently and provide rewards. I would be eternally grateful.

!

After Erza finished speaking at such a long time, Natsu and the others, who had just been overjoyed, all fell silent.

At this point, the two of them were still a bit inferior to Erza; their understanding of the issues was not as thorough.

They never imagined that a simple S-rank mission would involve so many twists and turns, and even affect the guild's reputation.

Realizing he had almost harmed Yan and her guild, Natsu panicked and quickly apologized:

"I'm sorry, Yan, I didn't think that far ahead."

Since this task is so troublesome, I'd rather not participate.

After letting out a long breath, Gray's expression turned serious as he said:

"In that case, we really cannot accept your kindness."

As he spoke, Gray couldn't help but feel a pang of emotion.

We almost caused a disaster this time. Thanks to Erza's reminder, we are still far from being S-rank.

As the others spoke in succession, Yan couldn't help but tilt his head in puzzlement.

"Aren't you guys taking this a little too seriously?"

In the end, we're just a tiny guild, with no more than a palm's width of official members including the guild leader.

"Just the limelight we garnered at the routine meetings is enough to make our guild famous. We're already overwhelmed with all sorts of miscellaneous tasks, so why would we need to worry about anything else?"

During the pause in Yan's speech, Natsu looked down at his palm and his expression turned to one of great surprise.

There are only five people? How come the team at the end of the race has so few members?

At this moment, Yan's voice continued to ring out.

"So there's no need to worry about reputation; that will come naturally over time."

Our guild members prefer to do things their own way, so you don't need to worry about it.

In the end, Yan set her sights on Gray.

"Besides, this mission is really inseparable from you guys."

Without you guys, this mission would be so boring.

Gray:? Why is she looking at me when she talks to me?

"Anyway, stop talking nonsense and stay with me."

After Yan's mysterious and repeated requests, everyone finally decided to stay.

Since she didn't object, no one else said anything.

The Fairy Tail team, determined to stay and help Yan complete her mission, also gave Yan a good look at the efficiency of the number one guild in the Fiore Kingdom.

"Natsu, Happy, go and scout around the village and see if there's anything suspicious."

Gray, continue to ask the villagers about the situation and inquire about any unusual occurrences on the island recently.

Since Sister Yan is willing to share the mission with you, then take this opportunity to experience what an S-rank mission feels like!

At Erza's command, the two humans and the cat responded in unison.

"Harpy, let's go!"

After giving a shout, Natsu leaped high into the air, and before he could land, Happy spread his short wings and carried Natsu out of the village.

On the other side, Gray also turned and walked towards the place where the villagers were gathered. With his fairly handsome face, he asked the village girls for information.

As for Erza herself, she had no intention of making a move.

She has decided that Natsu, Gray, and the others will complete this task themselves, and she will not intervene unless absolutely necessary.

Similarly, to thank Yan for giving up the opportunity to perform this mission, she did not intend to let Yan do it herself.

While waiting for the two to return with news, Erza and Yan comfortably moved two small chairs to sit outside the tent and began to chat leisurely.

"Sister Yan, can I ask you a question?"

Since your guild's last regular meeting, it has already gained considerable fame. Why, after so many days, does your guild still only have 5 members?

With someone helping with the work, Yan, who could finally relax, naturally didn't mind having a good chat with Erza.

"Well, I can only say that our guild is rather special."
