Chapter 556 The Saber-Biting Tiger, a Crowd of Freaks
The Kingdom of Fiore, the town where the mage guild Sabertooth is located.
The streets are bustling with people, and in the center stands a magnificent three-story building.
On the top floor of the building, a stone tiger with its front paws teetering on the air roars to the sky, its sharp fangs gleaming in the sunlight.
After taking over Sabertooth, Uru did not change the guild's original image and philosophy, namely, "The sky roars for me, the earth falls silent for me, and the ocean boils for me."
Despite its arrogant appearance, the Saber-Biting Tiger has changed dramatically in the eyes of the public in the past two years.
To avoid causing unnecessary chaos, Chase put the city-guarding pterosaur back into his card space as they approached the town and walked alongside Erza.
Thanks to the buzz generated by the Magic Weekly Soshara, the two were quickly recognized by the town's residents, almost causing a commotion.
Erza was fine; most of the people she met were fans asking for autographs. Chase, however, keenly noticed the way the men looked at him, which seemed to be filled with resentment and jealousy.
After several twists and turns, the two finally managed to shake off the enthusiastic fans and successfully arrive at Saberbite Tiger.
"We're finally going to meet them: Miriam, Simon, Wally, and Hugh—"
Erza stood in front of the half-open guild gate, her eyes sparkling with barely suppressed excitement and agitation.
Miriam is alright, since we had just spent some time together recently (in the future world), but Simon and the others haven't seen each other since the Tower of Paradise incident.
Simon, in particular, died at the hands of Gerald in a future world without Chase.
"I'm actually quite curious about what Wally and Recess are like, since they haven't traveled the world and chose to join a guild," Chase chuckled.
These words successfully piqued Erza's curiosity. She could no longer remain calm. After taking a deep breath, and with the hope of seeing her former companion doing well, she slowly pushed open the door of the Saberbite Tiger guild.
In an instant, a lively and bustling atmosphere rushed towards us.
"Hey! New guy, why are you still wearing your coat? Take it off right now, it'll interfere with your ability to feel the natural temperature and hone your magic!"
Square-faced Wally, shirtless, was yelling at a teenager.
"That's right, never doubt Guild Master Uru's understanding of magic. Since joining Sabertooth, my card magic has improved by leaps and bounds, and is in no way inferior to an S-rank mage!"
Hugh, with his dark skin, was striking a cool pose with cards between his hands, wearing only a simple pair of boxer shorts.
With just a fleeting glance, Erza silently closed the door, her movements swift and decisive, without the slightest hesitation or lingering.
"Chess, I think I'm a little dizzy from dragons, which is causing me to hallucinate." She sighed softly, rubbing her forehead.
"Really? Let's verify it again then."
Chase also saw the fleeting, cringe-worthy scene, smiled, and considerately helped Erza push the door open again.
"Swimsuits are the best! The cool and refreshing feeling is just amazing, meow~!"
Miriamina, dressed in a sexy pink and white swimsuit, stands on a bar table, with a black cat tail decoration swaying behind her.
Beside her, a burly man with an iron chin and a silk scarf around his head solemnly reminded her, "Miliana, be mindful of your appearance. Erza and Mr. Chase should be arriving soon."
"Simon, your clothes," the girl with long black hair reminded him.
"What?! When?!" Simon exclaimed in shock, frantically searching for his clothes that had vanished into thin air.
Hmm, this scene seems familiar.
This time, Erza saw it quite clearly. Apart from the familiar Miriam and her three companions, almost all the other Sabertooth mages were wearing revealing outfits!
Click.
A sound like something breaking rang out, a sound filled with the Fairy Queen's anticipation.
Erza, her face ashen, closed the door once again in silence and shock.
The wooden, iron-framed gate was perfectly sealed, completely isolating the fiery atmosphere inside Saberbite Tiger, reminiscent of a summer beach, thus purifying the eyes and the soul.
"Let's go, Chase." Erza took Chase's hand, lowered her head, and started to walk back.
"What's wrong? Didn't you really want to meet them when you came?" Chase said with a smile.
He wasn't as surprised as Erza that Miriam and the others had all "Grey-ified," after all, their guild leader was Ul.
It's even quite possible that Sabertooth's reputation has already spread to the surrounding towns, just like how Fairy Tail mages like to cause trouble!
"It's enough to see them safe and sound." Erza shook her head gently, her desire to leave as soon as possible reaching its peak.
However, she had only taken two steps with Chess when a loud bang was heard, and the tightly closed door was kicked open.
"It's Erza-chan! I knew I wasn't mistaken, meow!"
Swimsuit-clad Miriam leaped out, spreading her arms wide and landing on Erza in a flying tackle.
"Ah, aha, it's been a long time, Miliana."
Erza smiled somewhat awkwardly, but still hugged Miriam affectionately.
"Elsa! Long time no see!" Hugh followed closely behind, waving excitedly in their direction.
Behind him stood Wally, who was also in a mosaic state, and Simon, who had put his clothes on backwards because he was in such a hurry.
Seeing the smiles on the faces of the three, Erza's lips twitched involuntarily.
"What's wrong, Erza? Why do you look a little strange?" Miriam blinked in confusion.
"No, no, it's just a feeling—"
Erza carefully chose her words, trying to avoid using the word "pervert," saying, "You've all changed quite a bit."
Upon hearing this, Simon's face instantly turned bright red.
Wally, completely oblivious to anything amiss, chuckled and exclaimed, "As expected of Erza, she saw right through us that we're stronger than before!"
"That's right, hmph, you card player over there, I've already undergone a transformation. My skill in card magic might even surpass yours now."
Hugh looked at Chase with a confident expression.
Both being card-based mages, he was almost instantly defeated by Chess in the Tower of Paradise arc, and he still harbors resentment and wants revenge.
"Indeed, I can clearly feel a strong sense of oppression emanating from you," Chase did not deny.
If he were to fight a nearly naked monster, whether it's a simple card duel or a clash of magical punches, he would be affected to some extent, right?
"Haha, compared to your arrogance three years ago, you've certainly become quite the smooth talker."
Despite his thoughts, Hugh wasn't arrogant enough to challenge Chase to a duel, so he went along with it, pausing for two seconds before adding in a suggestive tone, "Brother-in-law~"
With the official announcement from the Magic Weekly, he naturally knew that Chess and Erza had gotten together.
Erza is like an older sister to him, so calling him brother-in-law isn't an exaggeration.
"Shut up! What nonsense are you spouting!" Erza blushed instantly, delighted to see this.
"By the way, Erza-chan, tell me quickly, how did you and Chess get together, meow!" Miriamina said with a gossipy look on her face.
Upon hearing this, Wally and Simon both pricked up their ears in curiosity.
Simon used to like Erza, but after seeing the way Erza looked at Chase during the Tower of Paradise incident, he realized that he no longer had any chance and chose to withdraw voluntarily.
Gentle and reliable men are always lucky. In the two years since he became a Saberbite Tiger mage, he has found his true love.
Surrounded by her dear friends, Erza's eyes darted around nervously, and steam began to rise from her head.
Just as Chase was about to show his boyfriend-like strength to help her out of the predicament, all the Saberbite Tiger mages (perverts) in the guild who heard the commotion gathered around.
"It's the Fairy Queen Erza! She really came to our guild!"
"Cheese, the most destructive Super S-Class mage in Fairy Tail, is exactly the same as he was two and a half years ago, just as the reports said!"
"President Uru told me that you were transported to a super exciting alternate world. Could you tell me what that experience was like?"
Chase glanced around and found that most of the faces were unfamiliar; he didn't see Minerva or Stinger.
Huh? Who is this guy?
Suddenly, a girl with long black hair and sharp eyes caught his attention at the front of the crowd.
