Fairy Tail: You call this Celestial Spirit Magic?!

Chapter 51: Good Luck and 3 Children

The final bounty amount for the entire "Iron Forest" guild was eleven million J.

Guild leader Eric alone is worth 8.5 million J, while the rest of the minions are only worth 2.5 million J.

Unfortunately, the bounty amount is based on the individual's reputation. First, you have to make people aware of you before they can offer you a bounty, just like the bounties for pirates in another world. On the same ship, the more famous you are, the higher your bounty will be.

However, for the dark mages of the dark guild, a high bounty is not necessarily a good thing. If they are not strong enough but are very valuable, they are easy targets for bounty hunters.

Some mages with strong martial ethics make a living from this; where there are bounties, there will naturally be bounty hunters who hunt for the bounties.

"Eleven million J, that'll be a lot for everyone!"

Upon hearing the amount announced by Guild Leader Makarov, everyone in the guild became excited. Several older men immediately ordered a few more drinks and two plates of meat, essentially having an extra meal.

Watching the scene before him—drinking wine, eating meat, and dividing gold and silver by the scale—Moen realized they really did resemble a bandit stronghold.

"Erigor was defeated by that brat Moen, so give him a bigger share!"

Marcao raised his hand and mentioned Moen. Erigor alone is worth 8.5 million J. As the one who defeated Erigor head-on, Moen should logically get a bigger share.

The proposal was immediately accepted by everyone. When it came to money, the uncles didn't hesitate at all and said they would give Moen a bigger share, and no one objected.

"No need. It's not like I'm the only one capable of defeating him. Everyone let me win because I'm younger. The whole guild worked together and contributed equally!"

Moen immediately stood up and spoke righteously. Although his face was young, his ideological awareness was outstanding.

"..."

Laxus watched from the side, his lips twitching. If it were him, although he would also refuse, he couldn't bring himself to say something like that to Moen.

"Well said! Everyone in the guild has contributed, so the profits should be shared equally! Everyone in the guild deserves a share!"

Chairman Makarov slammed his hand on the table and made the decision loudly, a smile on his face indicating his satisfaction with the outcome.

"Ohhhhhhh!!!"

The guild members cheered and shouted excitedly.

In reality, after this division, the amount of money each person received wasn't much, at least not much for the mages.

But everyone was happy, excited, and determined to have a banquet!

This is "Fairy Tail"—not complicated or convoluted. Like a family, they treat each other with honesty and openness, without any ulterior motives. When they are together, they are always filled with joy.

After a lively celebration banquet, everyone dispersed, leaving the guild hall in a mess. Airo and the guild's new employee, Rachi, worked together to clean up, with Moen also helping out.

"Brother Moen, you don't actually need to stay and help me."

Looking at Moen, who was helping to clear the table, Rachel's face was flushed, and she seemed a little shy. She spoke softly, trying to persuade Moen to go back and rest early.

"what?"

Moen paused for a moment, then looked at Rachel with some confusion.

"But I've always helped Airo and the others..."

Seeing that Rachel's face was flushed, as if she had misunderstood something, Moen hesitated for a moment before finally telling the truth.

"Ugh..."

As soon as Moen said that, Rachel's face turned even redder. She was like a kettle boiling over, her body heating up rapidly, and steam was already rising from her body.

"Pfft~"

Airo, who was wiping the table with a rag, burst out laughing. She couldn't help it. No wonder she always felt that Rachel was acting strange whenever Moen stayed to help; it turned out she had misunderstood...

"Ahem, well, Sister Airo, I'll head back now."

Moen coughed lightly and decisively said goodbye to Airo. To be honest, he was also a little embarrassed because he had never thought about this issue before.

Is Laki really that precocious? And it seems she's not just precocious, she's also a bit narcissistic...

Laki actually thought that Moen stayed to help because of her...

This was something Moen truly hadn't expected, and the girl hadn't asked or investigated anything; she just assumed that's what she thought...

If she had just asked around, she would have known that Moen had been doing this all along.

"Ahem, of course I know, I just think you worked too hard, Moen... You defeated that Eric, you should go back and rest earlier..."

After being in a state of redness and her brain went blank for a while, Laki finally came to her senses and hurriedly began to explain in a flustered manner.

"Rachi, little Moen has already left."

However, she was answered by Airo with a mischievous smile.

Laki looked around blankly, but there was no sign of Moen in the guild.

"Ugh..."

Laki covered her face, on the verge of tears.

The next morning, Rachel encountered Moen again at the guild.

Good morning, Rachel.

Moen greeted her warmly, with his usual warm and sunny smile, as if he had already forgotten about yesterday's events. His smile could make people unconsciously relax.

"Good morning, Moen."

Laki stammered a reply, clearly unable to pretend that yesterday's events had never happened, unlike Moen.

"Huh? What happened? Laki's acting strangely?"

Across from Moen, Kana, who was carefully arranging tarot cards, frowned slightly upon seeing this scene and asked with a puzzled look.

"Who knows? You should ask her, not me."

Moen answered with a smile, then reached out and drew a tarot card.

The tarot card depicts a child with a sweet, innocent smile, leaping from a gray wall on horseback. He wears a daisy wreath and a long red feather on his head and holds a red flag in his hand, while the background features a large, radiant sun.

"Looks like something good is going to happen today?"

Moen raised an eyebrow and asked Kana.

"Yes, everything will be fine."

Kana nodded seriously, giving her answer. Little White was lying next to her, dozing off in a daze.

"Thanks, I appreciate your kind words."

Moen smiled and returned the Sun card. He had been testing it every day, and after so many tests, he almost understood what each card represented.

"Come in, don't be afraid."

Moen had just gotten up, preparing to see if there were any suitable tasks available, when a sound from the entrance of the hall caught his attention.

Grandpa Makarov walked in, accompanied by three children.

Leading the way was a girl wearing a robe, followed by two smaller children, presumably her younger brother and sister.
