Join a guild?
Looking at the newly refreshed quest for today, Roland raised an eyebrow.
Although the quest didn't specify which guild to join, since he was already in this world—
Roland subconsciously glanced at the shy girl beside him, who was hiding her face with a book.
Fairy Tail seemed the most suitable choice.
............
"—Wait! You're planning to join a guild!?"
Hearing Roland's plans for the day, Levy's eyes widened instantly, a mix of secret joy and nervousness rising in her heart.
Could it be because of me...
Although Levy felt she was being a bit presumptuous, she couldn't suppress the thought deep down.
"Yes, I've been traveling for long enough, and the scenery in this town is quite nice, so I plan to stay here for a while."
Standing before the open window, enjoying the morning sunlight and the magic power surging within his body, Roland couldn't help but smile.
He could clearly feel that his power at this moment far surpassed what it was yesterday afternoon.
This magic power of the sun was rapidly growing with the passage of time, as if it had no limit.
"A... a while?"
Sitting on her chair, Levy's smile froze. She quickly took a deep breath and mustered the courage to ask, "Excuse me, how long does 'a while' mean?"
"There are many guilds near this town."
"If you have a specific timeframe, I can also help you find a more suitable guild!"
Hearing the girl's quickly fabricated excuse, Roland shook his head in amusement. He then pinched his chin, pretending to think seriously. "Five or six years, perhaps. Of course... if I find a suitable partner, I might not leave at all."
A partner?!
Levy, who had been a bit disappointed by the first half of his sentence, her eyes instantly lit up after hearing the last part.
"Is that so? In that case—" The girl suppressed her excitement, raised a slender, white index finger with a slight smile, and said in a serious tone, "Then you should definitely join Fairy Tail!"
"As the only top-tier mage guild in Magnolia, besides the various quests with high rewards, its lively atmosphere is also unmatched by other smaller guilds!"
At this, Levy turned slightly to the side, revealing the emblem on her left shoulder blade. She hummed lightly with a slight smile, "I'm in that guild too. If you want to join, Roland, I can help!"
"Fairy Tail, huh..."
I was waiting for those words.
Under the girl's expectant gaze, Roland nodded with a smile.
"Then I'll be counting on you, Miss Levy."
Since they were in a girls' dormitory, the two didn't linger long in the 'library'.
"The guild opens at seven. We have an hour, so I'll take you to the town center to get familiar with the area and grab some breakfast!"
Wearing her off-the-shoulder dress, Levy stood with her hands behind her back, a bright smile on her face.
Roland naturally had no objections to this arrangement.
After all, he hadn't had even a sip of water since he arrived.
"Once I have money later, I'll pay you back slowly."
The boy's gentle, smiling voice sounded from his side, making Levy's small body tremble slightly.
She subconsciously paused and quickly waved her hands. "No, it's fine, it's just a little money..."
Seeing Levy's flustered state, Roland chuckled.
You're really cute, Miss Levy.
............
Walking on the white marble-paved street, Roland looked around with curiosity.
But he soon noticed something was off.
Several women and young girls who had just made eye contact with him had all stopped in their tracks, their faces slightly flushed as they secretly glanced at him.
One girl even hesitated for a moment before quietly starting to follow them.
The power of the Love Spot... is really too much.
Roland lowered his head and thought to himself.
Inside the restaurant.
Considering Roland hadn't eaten yesterday afternoon or evening, Levy specially ordered a lot of croissants and steak, as well as two strawberry cakes for dessert.
After breakfast, it was the moment Roland had been most looking forward to.
Walking through the crowded streets, they soon saw a large, three-story guild hall built of wood and stone, located in the center of town.
Above the main entrance hung a colorful guild emblem flag fluttering in the wind, and a huge silver sign—Fairy Tail!
"Let's go, I'll take you to find Mira!"
Levy said happily, then took his hand and quickly walked into the guild.
The spacious hall of the guild was filled with wooden tables and chairs. A request board covered with quest flyers was placed to the side, and there was a bar in the distance.
Overall, the place looked more like a bar than a guild.
Since the guild had just opened, there was almost no one in the hall, only a white-haired girl in a dress standing behind the bar.
Seemingly noticing their arrival, a gentle smile appeared on her exquisite face as she greeted them with a laugh, "Good morning, Levy."
"Good morning, Mira!" Levy smiled and pushed Roland in front of her, introducing him. "This is Roland, a traveler from another continent. He wants to join our guild!"
"Hello, Miss Mirajane."
Roland nodded with a smile.
Upon seeing the young man before her, Mirajane was first taken aback, then her eyes widened instantly.
She could feel her breathing and heartbeat uncontrollably quicken.
This strange feeling, is it magic?
She covered her mouth with the menu in her hand, her eyes subconsciously drawn to Roland.
But... she didn't feel any magic power leaking from him.
As a former S-Class Mage, she could tell whether someone was using magic or not.
If she wasn't under a spell, then where did this strange feeling come from?
Although confused, Mirajane suppressed her inner shyness and put on a smile as bright as the sun.
"Mr. Roland, are you planning to join our guild?"
"Yes."
Looking at the blushing barmaid, Roland thought it might be a good idea to buy a pair of glasses.
Otherwise, by the afternoon, probably every woman in the guild would have been charmed.
—Don't cause me so much trouble.
"May I ask if you are a mage?" Mirajane blinked and asked softly.
Hearing this question, Levy also looked over curiously. "As a traveler, Roland, you must know a lot of magic, right?"
"I am a mage, but I don't know many types of magic," Roland nodded.
Currently, the only magic he knew was one called 'Sun'.
But that was enough.
"Then, do you have a preferred color, and where would you like the guild mark stamped?"
After a simple registration of his information, Mirajane took out a stamp from behind the counter and tilted her head with a sweet smile.
She's a little cute...
Roland coughed lightly, trying not to look at her.
"On the left arm, please. As for the color... gold will be fine."
As Mirajane gently pressed the stamp on his left arm, a brilliant golden emblem appeared on his skin.
The process of joining a guild is surprisingly simple—or is it because Levy introduced me?
Roland couldn't help but wonder.
At the same time, the system's voice sounded again.
["Welcome, New Guild Member!" has been completed. Please claim your quest reward!]
